Hurrah for Fat Phones

Filed under: News — admin @ 6:53 am

The fattest Android phone I owned was the Droid Bionic — a dismal failure of a device sales wise (and my Droid Bionic For Dummies didn’t fare too well, either), but a lovely phone for its battery life. I even purchased an extended battery that made the phone fatter and last all the doo-dah day. It was delightful.

The trend these days is for thin, stylish phones. Blame Apple. Their new devices are all touted by how delicately thin they are. “The new iPad 20 — so thin it has only one side!”

The sacrifice that manufacturers are making in favor of thin is battery life. Batteries need to be fat to be good. Plus, with a fat phone, you can stuff more goodies inside.

Hail to thee, fat phone!
