People want good cameras.
at this point we're not talking about good cameras, we're talking about having fucking telescopes built into the phone.
I have a pixel 6a and the camera is absolutely fine, i have taken perfectly good images on it and that's with me specifically removing any sort of automatic software enhancements it might have when running the stock OS.
With modern technology even a phone without a camera bump will be so monstrously good 99% of people are never going to make full use of it.
How are you feeling about your 6a these days? Did you do the battery replacement? I don't really want to but I'm also not super thrilled about the reduced battery life considering that was one of the weakest points of it to start with. And Android 16 is not running as smoothly as previous versions did for me. But I don't really feel like it's in such condition that it needs replaced yet.
Sure and since there is already a bump for the camera making it slightly thicker for more battery or a removable battery isn't ruining a perfectly flat surface.
I think a bump isn't great but having the rest of the body slimmer is way different than the entire body the same thickness as the camera.
