Meh. Smartphones are at saturation and evolutionary end. Making them bendy doesn’t do much other than allows them to charge idiots crazy money for it. Phones haven’t added anything truly game changing other than style points in the last 5 years. I don’t even give a crap about curved edges.
Agreed, I think iPhone 6 era phones (Samsung may have been sooner but we’re assigned Apple devices in work) were the first that I never found frustrating to use and I can be very, very impatient. I’d say most other ‘game changers’ (such a loose term when it comes to smart phones) were well established with other brands.
Latest stuff seems to be invented to look good in ads but I’d waged less than 1/100 users will use it more than once.
Premium smart phone sales are in the decline which is only going to continue, right now lots of consumers are still driven by the fear of not having the latest and greatest thing, but they’re in the decline.
Once the cool kids discover how much energy and resources go into something with such a short lifespan there may even be a bit of a backlash.
I’d bet they’re going to get cheaper in the years to come, not better.
