I feel like we've already been going backwards on smartphones: Bring back replaceable batteries, keyboards, headphone ports, and IR blasters!

[-] lud@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Nah, keyboards can suck it. Touch keyboards work well enough and aren't bulky.

You can't use swipe typing on a physical keyboard ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Actually, a while back, BlackBerry unveiled a phone with a physical keyboard that was also a capacitive touch sensor so you could swipe type on it. Idk how well it worked though.

I don't use swipe typing on a capacitive screen so nothing's lost anyway

I'd like for there to be phones with keyboards available for the people who want them though, even if I personally share your opinion. I feel like the overall array of smartphones are all very bland and samey, and I wish that the people with weird, idiosyncratic preferences could live their best life.

Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there: Being able to type without looking is fucking great!

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

That depends on how good you are on touch keyboards. I can type pretty well without looking.

This has been brewing in my mind for a while

But I really want a like Phone ds hybrid

So I can do some decent gaming in it but it's also small and a phone with a cool stylus so I can play pictocross or sudoku easier

*I recently homebrewed a ds and I found after a month I started only using it for that

Replaceable batteries are coming to the EU in 2027.
