    Why should it use a plastic frame to decrease weight? It is supposed to be thin, not light.

      eliashan, 11 Feb 2025Maybe you've been living under a rock for the last dec... moreI like the performance density of flagship phones. Fast and light. However, I really haven't picked up photography in all years of owning a flagship. So I wouldn't mind buying a flagship with an average camera if it helps to slim and lighten the phone, while preserving everything else top tier.

      I might be a minority but finally Samsung released something aimed at the likes of myself. My only wish is that the Edge was based on the vanilla, not the plus.

        Anonymous, 11 Feb 2025Lmao whats the use if u also need to carry powerbank with itMy S20 has degraded to 3220mAh and I can get through one day with that. It actually lasts longer than my old phone that had 4700mAh. Samsung are quite good at making power efficient phones. Why battery size trumps power efficiency for most people I don't understand.

                Whereas a phone is an essential item so why not get a flagship? Phone are generalist devices and are priced competitively.

                Niche devices cater to hardcore people and usually cost insane amount for what they do.

                  vik457, 11 Feb 2025And they also have less markup in asian markets than oppo a... moreTheir pricing in China is high though for flagship series. They've had good success in recent years and sell in more markets than OPPO and VIVO so they have focused on improving their profit margins with little hardware improvements in the last few generations. That's typical of what brands do though when they have more success. Charge more and increase profit. That's the goal after all

                    If a few extra grams, or even +50, +100 grams become a problem. A lighter phone will not help. What you really need is a wheelchair.

                          Maybe you've been living under a rock for the last decade but there's literally _hundreds of thousands_ of people who make tons of money from photos and videos taken on their phones, so I'd say they quality as photographers and videographers. Yes of course a dslr or even fixed-lens "street photography" cameras will always be better, that that's not smartphone buyers are comparing with. Like it or not, there is a difference between midrange phone photos and flagship camera photos (even if one is medium quality then other one will be medium+ in your scale that includes real cameras at the top end), and people are willing to pay for this (not huge) difference cause they simply want to have the best possible photo quality from a phone in their pocket versus a more mediocre phone. It shouldn't be hard to understand.

                            Miss my Panasonic clamshell G50 in 2003, only 74g and 780mAh...I could hide it in my hand...the good old time...

                              They cut almost everything in this phone. Of course it will weight nothing, but is will also provide nothing

                                So what. A pathetic effort frankly.

                                  ishreal, 11 Feb 2025battery yes but cameras in even midrange smartphones have b... moreSo you're wrong on multiple fronts: regarding sensor size and noise floor it may not be apparent in abundant light, but it will be apparent when there's less light, even in cases where sensors of similar size have different noise floor one with lower noise floor pulls ahead like ov50h against hp2 and 1/1,55" sensor likely won't be winning against 1/1,3" one, yet alone bigger with similar aperture. Regarding hdr it's a problem with current hdr methods like staggered hdr and dol hdr and oems try to "compensate", sensor manufacturers aren't making sensors with dcg, dag or dsg and trying to increase well capacity for fun, the ceiling would be much higher if oems actually used those features of sensors. You probably haven't seen what those sensors are capable of in 14-bit mode.

                                    Bigger screen with feather weight. Finally 😃

                                      What's the point of this phone? It seems like an S25 FE replacement. Hopefully has perfect 6.4 inch screen size.

Smartphones are meant to be light, small, and thin for easy portability not massive behemoths with bricks attached to them just to get mediocre phone-level hdr overprocessed garbage quality with abysmal plastic lenses and tiny sensors. no real photographer, videographer, cinematographer, or professional creative uses a smartphone for any camera work. none.
