Why don't phones have full sized USB ports and HDMI?
They force me to turn my raspberry pi into a phone god damnit!

Is that good or pure meme?

Depends on how much you love freedom.
Jacob Garcia
Because it doesn't fit with the form factor of smartphones the same reason why you don't see full fletched desktop ports on ultrathin laptops.
Nolan Rivera
So it's a meme.

It requires the usage of proprietary blobs
Jeremiah Bell
function > form
the form should be driven by the ports, not the other way around
Grayson Ward
Don't macs have like 5% market share now? Pretty sure people want the ports.
Jeremiah Williams
Mine has a full sized USB-C port
Thomas Bailey
Miniature ports have the exact same function as full sized counterparts... And the cables have plastic insulation that bends more easily, I'd hate for my phone to keep sliding off the desk because of the shitty HDMI cable.

Will huge phone fetishists ever stop increasing their demands?
Will they ever be content with what they have?
Will we ever get a generation of actually useful phones again? My phone is approaching its fifth year and I still cannot find anything buyable on the market.

I like the design and the concept, but what is the support like and where is the camera button?
Also, it's still fucking 4.7".
Brayden Martin
That's why making a raspi phone makes sense. You can build it as large as you like.
David Russell
I want it smaller, though.
Dylan Collins
Use raspberry pi 0?
You can also desolder the ethernet and usb ports and connect them to the board with wires.
Julian King
because manufacturers want to make uncomfortably thin phones with glued covers so you dont open it
Matthew Fisher
The addition of GPS and GSM modules would fuck this over.
Jayden Ward
Why? The module itself is small. Jut replace solid antenna with a wired one.
Luke Diaz
The sad thing about this setup is that it's genuinely smaller than modern smartphones.
Gavin Bailey
Yeah, it's also only like 10 times thicker.
Julian Gomez
And yet it still got much less volume.
Cameron Brooks
Samsung phones come with an adapter for a full size USB
Jose Wright
it would look like those 90s motorolas with that antenna
Hunter Baker
As any GSM/UMTS/LTE module.
