Why do people hate camera bumps?

i know taste is person to person, but why do people hate camera bumps even smaller profile ones. i was looking at a video for the LG G8 dual screen and the back has no bump, the camera modules are flush with glass rear of device, al i can think of is if the device lays flat and it gets rested on its back like all phones do, its going to pick up scratches a lot easier

this guy was saying he hoped more companies did this next year because its ugly, but again should we want a small bump to lift th...

How does google photos not have a map view?

I feel this deserves its own thread because it's frankly baffling. Google is obviously accomplished in making map software and google photos is a great service. So how is it possible that such an essential and intuitive way to enjoy and look for old photos is missing?

Especially for people who travel a lot or do long hikes etc. it is very satisfying to look at a world map and be able to zoom into places you have been and remember exactly where and how photos were taken. Having to scroll through...

Android 10 includes a feature to change the MAC address for each Wi-Fi

MAC randomization is a feature that changes the MAC address of an Android phone to preserve privacy. In Android 10 this is by default.

I consider the pixel updates a failure.

The og pixel has received it's last update security or otherwise. The Galaxy s7 just received the December security patch. The s7 is still on Samsung's update schedule. Both phone were released the same year. If and when the s7 receives its next update it will be officially supported long than the pixel.

Giving a phone a final update to a new os with no future security updates or bug fixes is quite possibly the worst solution when it comes to updates. Samsung leaves you on a stable os that has...
