What? The slimmest?

That certainly is a feature everyone cares about.

It's a point of difference in a segment of the market where phones are often thick and heavy.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago

The performance of phones are almost irrelevant these days for most people. What matters is how they look, their battery time and if they have a good user experience without forced shitty apps.

Being slim is nice too because why not. :)

I've been realizing over the past weeks that phone weight in my hand significantly influences how I type, so I would indeed like a lighter phone. This one does catch my eye.

If someone offers the slimmest phone, I have some doubts regarding structural integrity. Especially, the way I (unintentionally) often treat my phone, it'll probably bend or break within weeks.

But, this one offers Military grade certification for durability. This should be better than other slim smartphones.

Military grade impresses everyone but those who served.

In the mind of a soldier military grade is the cheapest, mass produced item that barely does the job, can be abandoned on the battlefield without regrets πŸ˜…

Is that a protected term where you live? In Germany a lot of products, including the cheapest and crappiest ones, are advertised as military grade and that doesn't give any indication on quality or durability.

e.g.

I searched amazon and could not find a single smartphone with MIL-STD-810H certification atleast not in my region – india. It's super rare if you can even find one.

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I have no clue what that standard certifies but I was able to find several such phones immediately on the German Amazon like this one for 140€ (around $150 right now) from a brand that I never heard of.
