I guess there is always downsides. Curved screen is not great, and having a monster cpu in a chassi that throttles heavily is wasting money. But sure, looks otherwise like a good phone.
I like curved screens. They look beautiful when scrolling sideways (for example switching home screen tab)
It wom't look as beautiful if you meed to replace it and find out that it costs about the same as buying a new phone. Personally I also find that they're worse, usability wise.
Usability wise they certainly are worse but as long as they don't break they're awesome
How are they "awesome" if their usability is worse. In my opinion it adds absolutely nothing and sometimes palm rejection fails so you end up with unintended inputs. There are literally no benefits.
as long as they don't break
They look fancy
And you can scroll while having your finger at the very edge
Of course it does. Everything that's not an iPhone does.
Doubt. Pixels have had the best photos for several years.
The vivo has amazing hardware as a base, Pixel is OK hardware but amazing software. It's a different approach but it does seem to work great
The best photo smartphone of 2024 comes with Android
Yeah bro, this isn't the 90s. You don't need to insert stacks of DOS floppys.
