    Sounds good to me, I think the camera bump is one of the dumbest design decisions modern phone designers have forced on us. Just make the thing a uniform thickness, gives them room to put back those things they removed in the quest for more thinness, which they never could have really done because of the optics.

    I lost my fingerprint reader on the back because they wanted to go thinner and I’m stuck with the significantly worse screen reader, all so I could get a phone that’s more awkward to lay down without a case that effectively limits or eliminates the bump anyway, so nothing has been gained.

      I agree. It’s just the “Make it bigger and lighter” doesn’t make sense. If you remove the camera bump and fill it with battery you have a much heavier phone.

        Well, more battery isn’t the only thing they could put in there… Like said, I’d love my fingerprint scanner on the back again (even if I’ve stopped using it to unlock my phone… Thanks, dystopian hellscape the US has turned into…)
