      Can you explain this to me? I’ve never heard of this as a feature and literally cannot tell if this is a joke or real.

    They remove the math-based image processing and replace it with AI, making all your photos invalid as any kind of evidence.

    Just because they don’t know what the cameras are for doesn’t mean they don’t use them

    The cameras are for different light and motion conditions. It happens automatically

    They’ll replace the latest foldable hinge technology with low grade sand because Apple made theirs out of low grade sand.

    My phone has an ir blaster, but the software is awful so I’m not going to call it out as a success here. It is a flagship, though.

      I totally get it but I have been pretty happy with the earbuds to be honest. I know that’s a bit of a hot take but I always wanted wireless in the past and I use my jabra’s on a daily basis. Still, I dont like the removal of useful features, we could easily have wireless earbuds and still have headphone jacks for fuck sake

    No more touch screens! You press a button to turn it on and you watch/look at/read whatever we give you to watch/look at/read! But first, point the camera at your ID and bank cards.

    We’ll add five cameras! And guess what, if even one camera fails, we’ll brick all five! Isn’t that great! More points of failure for everyone ❤️

    I had idiots argue with me you can easily pop out and replace batteries. There’s a reason why it’s a big selling point on the Fairphone.

    On one hand I like when we had removable batteries, jacks etc. But on the other hand, I like how computers (smartphones) got so easy to handle by the masses.

    Redmi still has microSD slot, 2 sim cards, IR blaster, headphone jack.

    What you should worry more about is not this, it is how locked it is to run your own software in it. Want to unlock bootloader? then create an account, have a sim inserted, apply for unlock using internet, wait 14 days or maybe 32, who knows? wipe all your data. and voila, you unlocked your phone.

    Also the absence of screws and use of glue. Want to fix the wobbly USB input yourself? nah, just take it to a repair shop.

    With wireless charging existing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they got rid of the USB port as well, and sold phones with no ports at all, just wireless everything.

      And it will still be out of warranty for liquid damage, while a Casio with user replaceable battery is 100m resist.
