Consumers must be aware of the fact that smartphones are growing thinner and thinner by the year. Well, a sector of consumers is getting tired of this evolution as the 0.1mm loss in thickness on an annual basis could have gone to a good cause.
In detail, cutting down on the thickness of the smartphone is unnecessary at all as the difference is not that great. So instead of making slim smartphones, manufacturers should consider sticking to the same size but increasing battery capacity.
Besides, a huge majority of consumers will take a fairly long while before they can complain that the Note 2 is so much thicker than the Note 4. The important bit here is for the manufacturers to produce something that offers grip as that is what the consumers want.
Smartphones plays a little role in making a fashion statement as most of them are eventually dressed with covers after purchase.
