El mòbil somiat de Nothing: compacte, amb jack, microSD i càmera emergent

We've made Dreamphones for MKBHD, Joe rig everything, and Mr who's the boss, and under every single one of them, you've shared a lot of thoughts. Once we filter out the ones comparing me to Jack Carlos, we aren't left with many, but we come through the rest to work at the most requested Dream phone features from you. our community. So with the help of our experts here at Nothing, let's go through your most requested features breakdown the compromises and show you how it would look both inside and out. Starting with the most requested feature of the mall, size. Size? Size? Okay, okay, you want a small phone, we get it. A subsick-sinch phone that you can use with one hand seems to be more appealing than oxygen for many of you watching, so let's talk about it. It's a common gripe amongst you a lot that phones have gotten too big or a planet full of people with hyper extended thumbs carrying massive glass of metal slabs in their pockets that take two hands to properly use. For many, it's baffling my phone because keep doing it. Acer's made a small phone that many point to has proof that it's possible. The Zenfo 9 was a 5.9-inch device with a flagship chip.

high refresh rate display and even a headphone jack. It may compromise this to achieve this, notably storage and battery capacity, but most telling of all is the fact that this section is entirely past tense. I was chatting to one of our experts Patrick who shared a really insightful take on this. A small phone is a big desire for people who use their phone as a secondary device. Lots of people use their phone for everything. They use it as a camera, a laptop, a TV and a phone, and for them a bigger screen, battery and more processing power. is a major selling point, but you know, watching this probably have other devices to do some of that stuff, and so feel that your phone is bigger than it needs to be. And that's totally valid. This is your dream phone after all, so honey, I shrunk the phone.

With an approximately 14% decrease in size compared to the 4A Pro, we may have to make some tough decisions. To build a solid idea for how this phone would come together, Patrick took apart a brand new phone 4A. And thanks to our friends at Luma Field, we have a CT scan of the inside of the device so we can show you just how Dame Judy dents this thing is. Patrick measured the size of all the internal components and mocked up a rough CAD model so we can see exactly how much space we have to play with. About 100 cm cube does it turns out. Have you heard about the... Steve Jobs iPod prototype thing with the fish tank. When they were developing the first prototype of the iPod, Steve Jobs wanted to make it smaller, and all the engineers were like, no, we can't do that. There's not enough space. And so he baller mode took the prototype and dumped it in a fish tank, and there were loads of bubbles came out, and he was like, there's clearly space and make it smaller.

and then probably a mic drop in the mouth like a legend Steve the Beast Jarves. Another huge thank you to Patrick as well as Calvin Justin and the rest of the nothing I do team for helping us out with this. So with some proper data in our back pocket what else did you guys ask for? Well I doubt any of this will come as a major shock. But some of your other most requested features are headphone jack, expandable storage, and no front camera notch or cutout. Headphone jacks disappeared from most ones smartphones, more than 40 years ago now, but the fury remains amongst those who love to tell you all about how they're wired, but never ran out of battery. So why did they vanish? Well, it depends who you ask, but it boils down to space and demand. They take up space and not enough customers demand it. Inside your phone, there's a story of a team of people trying to get the most out of every precious millimeter.

and with the headphone jack taking up nearly 300 cubic millimeters and the opportunity of Bluetooth or USB-C devices instead, big brands or the axe down on the jack. I just saw this jacket. I just saw this jacket. But not this time, even though I've found a small headphone jack is back baby! No more recharge headset nonsense interrupting your favorite podcast. I don't even watch podcasts. Next up is expandable storage, so I might call SD card slot. This hasn't gone away the dodo quite the same as the headphone jack, but it's certainly less common than it used to be, particularly at the higher end of the market. This takes up around 400 cubic millimeters within the phone, so while expandable storage can be great, many makers have opted to take the more space efficient route, including more internal storage off the back. But for you guys, we're including it.

I'm not sure what's getting displaced though, and if that wasn't enough, we've included a cool pop-up front facing camera. These were a popular idea a few years back, but since been made less desirable by the advent of underscreen cameras, they still have their advantages though, not being behind a screen makes for clearer images, and when it's not a use it literally can't see anything, which probably suits the minds of people who bid tape over their webcamps. We know what you do. So what's the downside? Thank you, guess. The experts say the retractable camera apparatus takes up a whopping 2016mm cube. That's 2% of the whole phone. This all might be sounding a little worrying for our dream phone. There's a whole lot of components fighting for not much space in this thing. Surely something's got to give. Well actually, one of your other suggestions may give us a way out. Ah, camera bumps. The normalization of these huge protrusions on the back of most phones left some people feeling.

a little wobbly. But does it have to be this way? Well, good cameras take up space, and while phone makers will out all sorts of nifty tricks to limit the damage, almost everyone has resulted to substantial bumps and plateaus to fit the gear. But a few commenters at home propose the same idea as our experts. Bik and the rest of the phone, to match. Not only does this eliminate the bump, but it gives you more room to play with inside the phone to maybe avoid having to sacrifice too much of the battery volume for all the other features. Seems like a slam dunk. So why isn't this comment? Well, thickness isn't exactly seen as a desirable trait amongst phone buyers and combined with the smaller size, this thing does look a bit stocky. But hey, no harm in having more to hold on to. We can't trust you. We can't leave that. We can't do that, Jackson. I see. It's really easy to do. We'd be remiss not to mention one of the most commonly requested things in the comments. One that really gets people going, bloatware. Or rather.

Removing it. Everyone wants a clean OS and what's cleaner than having no absolute. In fact, we found operating system was a little too close to the line so this phone doesn't even come with one of them. Should we even have a bios? Just pure, bloat-free hardware. Back to the hardware side now though and it's time to talk. compromise. If we decided not to thicken the phone, keeping it a more traditional modern smartphone shape. The competition for space inside the device would end up brutally cannibalizing the battery. This would lead to a knock on effect of compromises, likely including lowering the screen resolution, downgrading the chip, and potentially ditching things like the fingerprint scanner. This is a dream phone, so you'll get in the thick buoy instead. Even still, squeezing in a competitively sized battery is a tough path. With all those features in a relatively small chassis, we'd get a proxy.

at least 3,200mAh with the traditional lithium battery or up to 3,800mAh with a silicon carbon battery, neither of which are especially big. With this in mind though, we've opted for a silicon carbon battery to really make the most out of the available space. These aren't without their own compromises though, as we detailed in the previous episode. We should really watch after if you haven't already. So where does that land us? Roll the tape. Roll the tape?

Would you want a phone like this and what features are you furious we didn't include? Comment below and if there's enough cool ideas, people would do another one of these and milk you for more views. In the meantime I'm going to go back to not making this phone. Bye!
