Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra panned for ultra-wide design that kills all hopes of one-handed use

Bring back the IR blaster! Miss that more than curved screens, pens, or folds.

Ah IR blaster, the thing for "power users" as being explained by many "experts" and even PR trolls from OEMs; not that long ago removable battery, IR blaster, FM radio, microSD slot, 3.5mm jack, headphones and charger coming with phone included in the packaging and many other things... were perfectly normal for almost all phones even those from 20 years ago.

Then all of that became "for power users" and that was the reason for their removal (and charging most of them at extra cost if you want to buy them separately); suddenly from 90%+ power users almost nobody is a power user anymore. Nice way to twist the story and sell your own greed, which is what most OEMs do.

The irony is that Sony removed the headphone jack on their 2018 and 2019 flagship phones, even citing the rising trend of wireless audio gears, before putting it back in the 2020 Xperia 1 Mk2. Sony could've easily continued not doing it, but they didn't. It feels as if someone at Sony realized that following the trend is a bad idea. That's why Sony has always been in my radar after LG's exit from the smartphone market.

Old Samsung Notes were very wide, and yet were popular and beloved. And now this same or even smaller width is being criticized as "anti human".
The Note/Ultra hasn't changed, people have. They have become pussies, complaining about anything and everything. It's pathetic really.
I'll be the first to buy a new flat screen Ultra! As long as I can get a Snapdragon CPU variant, lol.

You haven't seen the worst on Twitter/X.
