    byo9, 13 Feb 2022The diversity and form factors of some old phones were grea... moreWill never happen. Some brands like to brag about screen to body %.
    "Our phone has 95% of STB ratio". (Main reason of curved screens, they increase the % compared to flat screen)

    If you leave on a table S21 FE, X70, Pixel 6, Moto G200, mi 11T, 18X, Axon 30 Pro; you may only recognize pixel 6 because it has thicker sides than the rest. They all look same from the front.
    This sucks ..

      Coolest version of samsung UI was android 6.
      Now, new versions have childish look. Silly icons.
      At this pace, by android 14 is it gonna be like OriginOS (worst /ugliest android skin ever).

      Stock android is going to same way. Android 6 and 7 were much better.

        Anyone had that tiny S duos?

          So blown away that no where does it mention that most of these were resistive touchscreens with a membrane.

            reminds me of Samsung Corby and Champ. At that time I didn't know Android at all. Ahh peacefull good old days, until galaxy Ace and Y I just know what android is.

              The diversity and form factors of some old phones were great. Would be cool if something like this would appear again with modern technology...
