Would have thought there'd be more response to this thread. Go figure.

Not really much there to talk about yet.

My only comment is the FPS placement whilst better still looks bad to me. Way too close to the camera

 

[jhimmel]

Come to think of it , guess still no front embedded FPS?

Won't be there until the Note 9 from what it seem.

It does look like a sleek device.

Surely an embedded fps?

I like that the camera is flush with the back of the phone. My S7 camera bump is pretty scratched up, including part of the glass lens.

The FPS should definitely be lower, like where the carrier logo is or even lower than that. If the FPS is on the back, it should be where the index finger falls naturally when holding the phone, I shouldn't have to contort my hand just to unlock the phone. Pixel phones do it right.

Hell, I'd even be happy with embedding the FPS in the power button on the side of the phone like Sony did a few iterations back. Surprised that hasn't come back since it can be easily accessed when the phone is lying down or when picked up, and it frees up the face of the phone for a bezeless screen.

My pet peeve? Having to buy new cases. I love changing out my cases and now will have to buy a bunch of new cases.
