The whole concept is different. I’ve just started trying it and the gist of it is that it’s basically only the app drawer, but on steroids. There is no home screen to arrange, you simply set favorite apps that show up first. Anything else you select by scrolling through the alphabet, which seems quick enough if you know the app name you’re looking for.
I can already tell that I would love it more if favorites were redesigned a bit to use the initial space better. But this would betray the simplicity they are trying to achieve.
Like others have pointed out, smartphone photography has improved leaps and bounds and continues to evolve. Bigger lenses enable this.
My main complaint is the off-center design, and lack of options (like a thick variant with a huge battery).
