It Is Time For Another Phone Revolution – Comments – GSMArena.com

Foldable phones are quite revolutionary, too bad that even after a few years they’re still super expensive.

As for even more revolutionary stuff, I remember reading years ago about prototype screens that imitated actual texture, so that you could have, for example, a button on the screen that feels like an actual button if you move your finger over it. It would be amazing if that technology was developed more and put in smartphones.

Sports gear we all use come out of factories in Southeast Asia, where the companies pay shitty wages. They are shipped to the other side of the planet, still cost way less there compared to what they cost in the same city they are made.

If USA was not that different from LATAM, you would not see so many ilegal imigrants there or trying to come in.

Lately, I’ve just been paying attention to Elon Musk. He’s the real-life Tony Stark and probably the most visionary human being since Steve Jobs. I’m actually fascinated with space travel.

I’ve heard rumors of a Tesla phone but I personally don’t care about that. Just another gadget to go online and waste more precious time. I want more advancement is health and medicine. I want people to live longer or even forever for that matter.

Why is my comment going for review?

I just had something critical to say about views in this article.

How much it would cost more than same capacity lithium?

507AMS, 2 hours ago1) that’s because of taxes & import cost. Even of that you can get good options for u… moreLATAM does not work like USA.

When I say unlocked phones, are devices bought on internet and regular stores. It is not like USA where most people get phones at T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.

Minimum wage in USA is above the price of S21+.

Minimum wage for example in Brazil is worth 16% of the price S21+ costed.

Companies charge more in 3rd world nations because they know governments do nothing to protect costumers from abusive moves done by big corps. Taxes do not make the $1100 iphone 13 pro max becomes $2000.

Also big corporations know people are greedy and still gonna pay whatever they charge.

I actually believe we have the battery technology to have a phone to last much longer. Look up graphene batteries. But OEMs don’t want to use them because they want us to keep upgrading. A sealed, degraded battery is their key to planned obsolescence.

I’m at a point in my life where I want to use my phones for at least 10 years. That’s insane because I usually upgrade after 2 years. But I don’t see the meaningful improvements any more. Techtubers are just splitting hairs comparing like it’s the Spider-Man meme.

Even video games, there really hasn’t been drastic improvements since the mid-90s. Nintendo tried motion controls. Sony is doing VR. But most modern games play like previous gens but with prettier graphics. Same old thing with a fresh new paint.

People should check out Arun Maini’s (Mrwhosetheboss) about his worries for humanity’s future from 2.5 months ago. He made so many excellent points from his commentary on modern society.

I actually admire people who AREN’T addicted to phones or going online in general. These people can live a real life like it’s the 1990s again. Does it matter if our battery technology improves by weeks? Just more time wasted going online leaving comments on sites like this. Smartphones are just portals for us to waste more time online.

Smartphones have actually trained us to be more alone. That’s why Millennials and Zoomers are the loneliest generation with barely little human interaction or little to no friends in real life. Phones are de-humanizing us.

I have friends there. I know how stuff works there.

1) phones are overpriced. Cheap phones are at least 20% more than North America, while flagships at least 50% more expensive.

2) majority of devices sold are unlocked, not sold through carriers.

3) many avoid expensive phones because of high crime rates.

4) most cannot even afford devices better than Galaxy A52, Moto G60. Even these 2 examples cost more than most people make monthly.

Volume sold does not translate into money.

Apple would still make more money even if selling 1/3 of what is sold now.

For some is interesting tons of cheap devices, to other better selling less of expensive devices. Just different types of business.

K Zoom uses 1/2.3″.

Imagine a 24-240mm using 1/1.2″.

This will never happen.
