    What? I don’t have to “imagine” anything. I literally owned one, for two years. Nothing was “sacrificed” on the Priv. It was in all aspects a completely modern phone, even managing to include a headphone jack and memory card slot, a curved edge display, wireless charging, and a 3400 mAh battery. And don’t try to come at me about battery capacity, either. Just to name an example, its contemporary in the Galaxy S7 had a 3000 mAh battery, was the flagship phone of its time, and sold bucketloads of units.

    Your argument is bullshit. Slider phones aren’t made because manufacturers don’t want to make them – be that for low projected sales reasons or whatever else – not because there is any physical reason they can’t.

      This guy is making the same argument that people do when they claim it’s impossible to make a phone waterproof while also having a removable battery even though these phones already existed and it’s a super basic solution. It’s just ignorance and loud opinions all around.

        “I don’t share your use case, therefore your preference is invalid and only mine is correct.”

        Yeah, I know that one very well.
