Thats one thing that boggles me.. I've never heard a single person go "Y'know, this phone is nice..but I wish it was thinner and more fragile".

I'm convinced they just want to make phones thinner, and push screens further to the edge (or in the case of Galaxy, around the edge and down the side) just to make them more likely to break when dropped.

You're on Lemmy. That means you're probably not a "form over function" shopper, y'know?

I get where you're coming from, and maybe I was just lucky, but holy hell my note 10+ was a TANK despite the reach around screen. Miss that phone already, I got talked into swapping when I moved and had to change Internet not long ago. A month after having my pixel 7 pro, and one fall from the edge of my desk onto the carpet, and the bottom half of the screen shits itself lol
