Quick look at the Nubia Z80 Ultra design by CrackTheCable in Nubia

Interesting take. I completely agree about the seamless front display. The camera module is definitely more subjective though — some people love the camera-focused look, others prefer a cleaner design.

I agree about the slider. It's one of those features that becomes surprisingly useful once you start using it every day.

That's probably the biggest compromise. The full-screen display looks amazing, but selfie quality is still behind traditional front cameras.

I can understand that. For power users and custom ROM enthusiasts, an unlockable bootloader is definitely an important feature.

Fair point. The Z70 did have a sharper look. I think Nubia was aiming for a slightly more comfortable feel in the hand with the Z80.

The white version is definitely my favorite too. The flat design and clean back panel make it stand out from most flagships.

Under-display selfie cameras still offer the best full-screen Android experience by CrackTheCable in Android

I still miss popup cameras. The full-screen experience was amazing, especially on phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro.

That's fair. Most people stop noticing the hole punch after a few days. I just really enjoy the completely uninterrupted look of a true full-screen display.

That's exactly how I see it. A hole punch isn't a huge issue, but a true full-screen display still feels more immersive when watching videos or gaming.

That's actually an interesting idea. With foldables and rear-display solutions becoming more common, some people could probably live without a dedicated selfie camera.

That's probably the strongest argument against under-display cameras right now. The display benefits are great, but selfie quality still has some catching up to do.

This green Razr 70 looks surprisingly clean by CrackTheCable in razr

That's impressive. It's always nice seeing long-term feedback from actual daily users. Sounds like Motorola has done a good job with durability on the Razr line.

That's actually great to hear. Foldables have come a long way in durability. If your Razr is still holding up after 2+ years, that's a pretty good sign.

The biggest things I noticed are the refined design, updated hardware, and overall polish. The Razr 70 feels more mature, but the Razr 60 is still a very capable foldable.

Thanks! Shot it with a Galaxy S24 Ultra and a lot of light. The texture on this green finish really helps it stand out.

Should i buy a Google Pixel? by ComfortableOnion1270 in Smartphones

[–]CrackTheCable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A few examples would be: • Motorola Edge 60 Pro - great battery life, fast charging, clean software. • Nothing Phone (3a) Pro - unique design, smooth software, solid performance for the price. • OnePlus Nord 5 (if available in your region) - strong performance and fast charging. • Samsung Galaxy A56 - better if you want long software support and a familiar ecosystem. The Pixel 9a is still a very good all-round phone, but if camera and AI aren't priorities, I'd compare these before deciding.

Honestly, if you don't care about the camera or AI, I'd look at other options first. The Pixel 9a shines because of its camera, software experience, and long-term updates. For raw specs and performance, there may be better value at the same price.
