Not everybody is an influencer who needs a super duper camera all of the time. give me the same camera I had on my old iPhone 7 and Id be happy, but I need something else. Surely if one of them shifts focus from cameras to the actual phone we could have something big. I know theres very little you can improve on nowadays other than CPU, memory, and camera but thats the point of R&D right? --- walks away <cite>FatalAccident posted [p:935344044] in Why do pho...

WhiskeyDisk 03/07/20 3:54:17 PM #14:	Revelation34 posted... RAM improvements are the only thing phones need. The OnePlus 8 pro is going to have 12gb of RAM. Serious question. Who the hell needs that much RAM for mobile apps? Are people running full windows 10 fat in a VM on these things and using them as mini PC's with mouse and keyboard, cast to a monitor? Even on the business side, how much RAM are you going to need for Word, Docs, PowerPoint, etc? Are people doing high end image manipulation, video processing, or sound editing? And don't tell me you're "future proofing" when the batteries are guaranteed dead in 2 years anyway. I couldn't fill 12gb of RAM on a phone if I opened every app at once. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:935364151] in Why do pho...
