Replied to the wrong comment?

You’ll still want a case even if the phone becomes thicker, so in the end you’ll still end up with more bulk?

I suspect that hardly any mass market consumer cared about security, sadly. And what exactly do you mean with “functional design”? It’s all slabs of screen with a charging port across the industry these days, or did you mean any features added/missing?

Samsung Note 10 and others have a barometric sensor, though I’m not aware of any app using them. Which might explain their removal, sadly.

Actually I like having a “smaller” space. Reddit was already way too big, with an anonymous giant blob of users. I wouldn’t even have bothered writing an answer like I do now, since it would have been buried under 100s of other posts and comments within seconds. Sometimes smaller and slower are positive features, at least to me.
