Seems like someone at Google didn’t hear about the Streisand effect. Now there’s even more scrutiny into the chip benchmark. Great job, Google.
Tbh, this will probably improve in the future with updates. IIRC Google is working on using QR codes to seamlessly send eSIMs over, and once carriers realize it’s far cheaper to do wireless provisioning rather than, ya know, sending a plastic card via mail, re-installing eSIM on a new phone should be easy as using the carrier’s app/website.
I absolutely hate this trend. If my eyeballs can see it, the camera on my phone can. Or a cheap HDMI capture card with a leaked HDCP key. They just want to screw over non-techie people who don’t know about these workarounds.
The S5 had waterproofing with a removable back using gaskets. (Granted, the design was fugly, but that wasn’t the fault of the waterproofing measures. Someone at Samsung loved bandaids) If the S5 could do it, I suppose other manufacturers could achieve the same thing with rubber gaskets. I mean, other waterproof gadgets like dive computers use gaskets on their port covers and what not, so I fail to see why it wouldn’t work with battery compartments.
