Idk if it is an unpopular opinion or not but I want a camera which can also work as a phone. Like cameras are already the main focus of most flagships, might as well put in a proper camera with one lens and use it. Maybe going thicker will also help reduce the size of the phone in other dimensions.
TBH I would rather just use apps on my windows tablet, if the good apps were on it but then I would also rather Linux which has even fewer tablet apps
Agreed. I want someone to step up and build a photography-centric phone like the Nokia Lumia 1020 again. I know lots of flagships can take good pictures nowadays, but that's something different from building an actual camera first phone.
Why not just get a "lensless" camera and pair it to your phone? Imo smartphones still have a way to go to be as fast as they need to be.
Still, if you're dead set, it seems a number of phones with 1 inch sensors are coming out, although it doesn't look like they're compatible with attachable lenses.
