I really hate the camera humps on new phones. At least this one goes all the way across the device so it should wobble as much as other design.
All because Apple did it to make their phones thinner. The camera hump should not exist.

Just like notches and hole punches on screens before it. Or the removal of the headphone jack that everyone quickly copied to sell more wireless earbuds.
What I would give to see an android makers give us a notchless phone with no camera hump and a headphone jack. The battery life would be nuts and the utility out of this world. I'd buy it day 1.

But no. EVERYONE has to copy samdung/crapple.

$200 trade in for the Pixel 4a isn't a bad deal. Essentially $500 for the Pixel 8 and your old phone doesn't have to be e-waste.

What? SD 845 is in specs for $300 old "Pro" model. We have not indications for that price to be for Odin 2...
No, sorry I meant the Odin2, and it is already for pre-sale. $300 for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
