Yawn. Samsung can have more money and attention from me when theyhave something i want. Give it 5 years.

A few ideas: A) projector! They are like $99 on Amazon now, put in phone. B) and app that pairs w Google glasses to count calories and nutrition of everything I eat all day. C) faraday cage setting D) no bloatware C) idk, im content... anyone else have ideas?

I'd settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.

If a projector is $99 it's rubbish. And what kind of light source would fit into a cellphone that is bright enough to throw a picture from 2m away from the wall, possibly during day light hours, without eating the battery in 5 mins?

Have you never used a modern-day LED flashlight they can make them tiny with small dials and still make them brighter than the goddamn Sun lol

An flashlight concentrates it's light in a small cone, a projector must spread it over a larger area, while still being brighter than the ambient light if you want to use it as a projector. Take a guess why any good projectors cost more and use expensive hardware, instead of "hurr durr let's just juse a 10 cents flashlight LED!1!!"

There are YouTube channels who review cheap temu tech, and some of them also did cheap projectors, with the expected results.
