Goddam the number of times I was downvoted for complaining that premium phones only had 5000 mAh, when I needed to replace my old Motorola P9 Power that had 6000 mAh.
With comments on how it would make the phones bigger and heavier, when there clearly were improved battery technologies available that could avoid that.
Obviously a premium phone can have better batteries than a 3 year old (at the time) cheap ass $250 phone.
At least many increased battery capacities a bit last generation, but today 7000-8000 mAh should be easy, without adding bulk or weight compared to phones 2 years ago.
Also the complaint is weird when people are OK with the extra bulk and weight from using glass back cover, on top of making the phone more fragile compared to a nice synthetic.
Anyways thanks to Xiaomi for breaking the trend of non development on battery capacities for real. ๐
Plastic - plastic is what I want.
I have an old Moto 5 that's pretty thin with a plastic back wraps around the sides and snaps on. It has a nice texture that's easy to grip. It's a brilliant piece of functional design. If only they'd given it a better screen/processor I'd be using it today.
Hell, what does almost everyone do with these premium glass phones? Put a synthetic cover in it so you can grip it and give it some drop protection.
Exactly, glass backs are a bad joke.
Yep, I've had 2 only because it was the hardware I wanted.
Oh, they were very nice to hold, sleek, futuristic. And both immediately got cases so I could hold the damn things.
The only reason we want thinner phones is because of material like this causes us to put cases on them, making them wider.
