Basically the sane phone as last year

Maybe worse with the removal of the zoom lens, which was already downgraded last year.

the main sensor got a massive bump to a 1/1.3ish size

I wouldn't say so. Not having the 8 Gen 1 is a massive positive in itself and the 8 Gen 2 is actually a good chip. They've also upgraded the primary sensor to match the 1 V. Lack of telephoto is a downer but they have made it a little shorter to compensate and they've managed to cram the same 5000 mAh battery as last year.

Was it shorter? I know its 1mm wider which is a bummer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's 2mm shorter than the 5 IV.
