Why do smartphone companies try to make their phones look

Because iPhones sell the best so if they make their phones iPhones they'll sell well too

apple wasn't the first to use dual cameras?

>>60995059
Apple copied from HTC several times, but no one knows HTC so...

>Being this ignorant
One Plus copied the Oppo R11, you dumbass
You are supposed to be in /g/ stop spreading what normies think

>>60995059
Not all of them did.
Samsung is doing the edge meme and looks completely different than iPhone, Xiaomi has their Mi MIX which Apple will probably rip off in future.

>>60995404
And chinky oppo copied iPhone you dumbass.

>>60995649
Oppo did it first than Apple, duh.

>>60995059
It's a rectangle with a camera and a few buttons. There just aren't that many layouts.

>>60995679
Fuck off chink with your fake news

>2 lenses
>no 3D images like LG has it since 2012 or something

trash, shill somewhere else. these guerillamarketers are making me hate that PoS phone and everybody owning it

also:
>my phone has to be as black as my soul
go outside, nigger

>>60995734
>>2 lenses
>>no 3D images like LG has it since 2012 or something
One of them is telephoto. This is notably more useful than 3D. Taking a better photo of something far away is something people frequently want to do. Taking a gimmicky 3D photo that requires a special screen to display is not.

>>60995734
3D is dead

They should rather make a phone as thick as 1cm, with a proper battery, optical/mechanical image stabilization, a proper optical zoom and a mirror that turns your 23mp sensor of the cam on the back into a selfiecam.


Focussing two shit sensors slightly differently next to each is a stupid piece of shit idea made up by CEOs running out of ideas, throwing new standards or unfinished speakers on the market, not solutions to actual problems people face daily/hourly. Just to be able to talk about nothing new, but still advertise it.

>inb4 "as you can see, the entire case is made out of camera lenses"

>>60995680
This
>hey they put the mic at the bottom, that's our thing!
What could they even change in current phones? As long as they are just tiles with big screen on one side they all look alike. Unless you really focus on the differences up close.

>>60995059
You mean chinkshit companies.
Chinks have no imagination, always have to copy.

Don't buy OnePlus garbage.

The batteries are LEGITIMATLY gook tier shit that last 6 months before losing milliamp capacity.

And guess what... non replaceable for MAXIMUM PROFIT. What a coincidence!

>>60996226
lmao nice meme

What a shitty phone, just look at those disgustingly huge bezels. WTF is with 2017 and everyone but Samsung and Apple throwing absolute shit at the public? The S8 and the new upcoming iPhone are the only good looking devices of 2017.

>>60996305
The essential phone looks so good in the ocean depths colour, I'll probably wait until I can get my hands on that to upgrade from my Galaxy S4

>>60996305
Enjoy your bezels while they last. Bezelless phones are difficult to hold without performing unwanted actions.

>>60996355
Kinda ruined by the nipple on top imo but, at least it's something if you can look over that.
>>60996367
Eh, I can think of worse things, especially if you consider using a case anyway.

>>60996305
>curved edge meme
Yeah no. Just horrible. Also: I highly value my headphone jack, would've gone with the new xiaomi otherwise

>>60995059
Because Apple makes aesthetically pleasing devices. The goal is to have a good looking device with decent specs to draw in consumers

>>60996435
Something that is pleasant to your eyes can't be a meme, buddy. Also the S8 has not only a really good DAC (exynos version) but also a headphone jack.

>>60996367
What if you make it thicker. More grip for your hands at the sides of the phone.

>>60996501
Ok, let me sum it up:
S8:
- Meme curved edge display that feels horrible (yes, I've held it in my own hands)
- Bad skin that doesn't really fit android in my opinion

Iphone:
- no headphone jack
- locked down, jailbreak is shitty compared to root on android
- much more proprietary than android

I'd love to get a sailfishos phone, but they're all crap unfortunately. Of course this is all just my opinion.

Fuck off iToddler.

I've been using my OPO for more than two years now and while battery gets a bit worse, yeah, it still works great

>>60997566
shill

>>60996715
consider the HTC 10. Best phone no one EVER bought.

Have one, quite possible the best phone I have ever owned to date.

>>60996715
Sony claims they'll start supporting SailfishOS soon. Apparently their X and XZ series will have a way to remove android and install Sailfish very easily. This is due to happen in a few months, just wait™.

who the FUCK cares what it looks like?! I hate apple but am so sick of this retarded argument

>>60995734
Except hardly anybody is owning Oneplus phones, they just have huge marketing presence on sites like Reddit and comments sections of sites to appear organic.

>>60999636
Yeah, I heard that. Unfortunately, they're just too late for me, I've since the announcement

>>61001214
this is true
in the past 3 years I have only seen 3 OP devices.
a opo in Germany, a op2 in Taiwan, and my own op3

>>60995734
>wanting 3d photos
>wanting two of the same focal length lenses instead of the superior usefulness of different focal length lenses

>>60998998

I'm still using an M8 because the 10 doesn't have an IR blaster and they got rid of the front facing stereo speakers. The M8 has been the best phone I've ever owned.

>>60995404
oneplus copy oppo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

>>60995108
Are you retard? It's not what he is talking about, he is talking about design.

>>60996226
I have repaired my opo screen 3 times so far (yes I'm clumsy), and every single time I had to get the battery out and put it back in. what are you smoking? non replaceable?
