Oh great masters, producers and assemblers, I come toward you, I seek, the greatest phone ever made. To beat it, to smash it as relic of mastery overcome.

What I think, is that with a few others model (one from huawei), there is finally a clean, clever, funny, and workable proposal for this YUGE problem related to the full screen phone (what a stupid concept of bezellessness).
Now about the contender : the problem is the size, weight, and thickness. We can look at the motorola Z3 Play (https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_z3_play-9003.php) and it's 156.5 x 76.5 x 6.8 mm and 156 g as step in the right direction.
I fundamentally think that over 100gr is already way too much. 129 is what was possible in 2014 at this price + heavy margins, so what can be made now ! And the size will corelate with the weight, but more importantly it's the raw size, it's not a ping pong gear... smaller is lighter, easier to carry, compacter, everything better...
I don't say more than the 6, but certainly no less.
the back...
HARD !
no paint.
raw.
no annodization.
raw.
carveable !
metal or (carbon)fibers, hard... (ping pong:D).
never glass...
"digital"size... I think the s2b of mate is perfect. I think the edge at least more than 50% of the curve should be body... as the too much countour screen are just too breakeable, and while money maker, certainly problematic and lead to distrust... this shit need to be able to fall... on hard concret steel reinforced, or ceramics. I think 2m is the legit height to be expected.
selfie camera... who the fuck use those shit... I mean, to videocall... okay... the dongle raise..,. perfect. full screen is there, the lense people can play, one single frame, everyone is happy :).
sar... eu... yeah... too high.
we are making the best phone ever... it's not for panda playing cod/bk or what ever crap, no.
it's a digital terminal !
and this shit will swim, sink, float what ever...
and finally the harmony os... this is really not cool... on one side the best cell phone in the word today support is over making it a relic and on the other side, those ecosystem is quite problematic... harmony os, true open sourcing, true security/privacy etc...
now if we could have solar cells in the back or in the front (for a light edition ecological)... all to say energy efficiency and security > gaming...
will I ever be pleased? or will I have to settle for a heavy giant radiating brick? who knows, what the next upgrade will bring...
but this mit9 is clearly the star, just smaller, lighter, less powerfull...
technically, I would do the light edition in a few variant... (again)
because what I describe is a "raw" phone...
but that I would buy... and 3 cameras, what the fuck, one single in the back... we aren't buying a movie making professional camera...
a light solid smart smartphone... not a brick
question, who has the smallest hands in the nba?
anyway...
