Now I understand why it's called a cell phone

post

If cell phones used rotary dialers, butt-dialing would basically disappear.
Looks like slop
No sir, your slopometer is incorrectly calibrated.
It was an electronics kit sold in 2020.
Why would they craft it with misaligned/crooked buttons and cutoff text? I want to look it up, what is it called?
Looks like it is genuinely rotary dial design. Those aren't buttons, they are holes. The text is on the black background, the clear plastic above it has holes cut out. There's quite a bit of thickness to that plastic and it's some distance from the black backing. Looks very much like a rotary phone looked, though understandable that most folks haven't seen one up close.
Massive annoying bumps to make the rest of the phone 0.1mm thinner. No camera bumps should be the priority design, not every increasingly large ones that even cases can't obscure now.
It's trivial to make the battery thicker to match the camera bump. Thin phones have thin camera bumps that still stick out, it's totally a design choice.
I've never had an issue with the camera bump tbh
Pretty sure it only affects those who go commando with their phone and don’t use a case.
I actually rather like having tactile feedback when I'm being a fat fuck and covering the lens with my finger
man, i'd love a six shooter phone
Didn't we give that up already? My previous phone had 4 lenses on the back but my current has 2. And I still only ever use one of them.
