      6.8 inch? that's huge. Why are we making phones so big?? Can they like make a small one at least at 6 inch?

        Fast toggle to launch camera app? Didn’t it have the double click to launch camera already? I remembered Carl Pei pointed that out as if it was a big deal.

          I mean, at least it's physical, so not too unoriginal there.

Even my Nokia N8, which still lies in the drawer, had it, even two step button. Just like real camera. Jeez man grow up.

                  hopefully the ai button doesn't become a trend.. microsoft already has the copilot key on laptops which is bad enough.

                    Well, it seems people only know what's a good idea when Apple does it. Sony has had this for... how long? and I think some Ulefones had it too, and we know neither of them are the reason Nothing's just done it.

                    Just a shame only Huawei brought a decent FaceID alternative instead of... well, everyone.

                          Well they're enough apple wannabe people out there.. enjoy it.
                          Hard pass with that chipset and button "innovation"

                            Thank you!!!! Finally we get more phones with dedicated camera button. How on earth people tolerate taking photos without a camera button is a mystery to me.

                                  (Phone manufacturers and technology has become boring) carl pey! and what is your solution? be boring and copy and paste as well as everyone else

                                    lol, we've hit the peak of smartphone innovation, they be adding anything these days. What could they possibly come up with next... A dedicated phone AI assistant button? (don't go getting any ideas, Sammy)

                                      So you can access the crappy camera even faster. They can add a telephoto lens, but what they should do is improve the quality of the output from the primary sensor.
