Plastic allows for more durable, not less durable phones! When you drop it, the plastic will flex and absorb some of the impact. But metal will take that impact and transfer it straight to the glass.

      MrPong, 27 Dec 20202MP macro cameras. True gimmick for $100-200 phones. They can't get the main camera right... more$100-200 phones? Many phones that cost more than $400 have these useless cameras.

      Even Mi10 and OP8 have.

I do not understand how people praise that design. Maybe Sony fanboys, who will praise just about anything from Sony. Because is "so different".
        The problem with smartphones dimensions wasn't necessarily the width. More important are the length and thickness. Make a longer smartphone it will be even worse feeling, when you care it in your pocket.

            Anonymous, 27 Dec 2020So do you want a pop up camera or a top Bezel?Meizu 16 has much better design than those phones with hole.
            By the way, hole and notch makes oled more expensive to make.
            Deposition of organic materials have to be modified.

                My 2 pet peeves are missing:
                1- elongated screens with no room for useful info in the width dimension
                2- non-flat screen that glare, slip, can't be protected, serve no purpose

                  I don't like the looooong narrow screens, it's a weird trend. Most media, like photos, videos, documents, comics, etc. aren't really made for these kind of aspect ratios.

                      I want to wake up in a world where no edge panels exist. I mean this is taking too long, just drop them already. Why does it take the smartphone industry sooo long to stop releasing edge panels since it's obvious they are aware from consumer feedback that the trend is long dead? We don't want your curved panels, end of story.

                        I'd say notches, but then again when I think of it, there's only one brand that still comes with a huge unibrow notch and that is Apple, the rest moved on to smaller waterdrop notches or punch hole cameras. So I voted for the lack of smaller flagship phones.

                                    Smartphone trends I'd hate to see in 2021:

                                    "A notch, punch-hole, pill-shaped hole, etc"

                                    "Curved screens"

                                    "Asymmetrical bezels"

                                    "Usefull accessories removed from the box"
