bing/chatgpt is already known to give false citations and not understand time in its reply, why are we thinking that its reply about its design is anything to be believed?
That made me wonder:
- Why does it seem like Japanese manufacturers are the only ones making "different" phones?
- Many other threads are talking about the lack of components and lack of component manufacturer interest, but if so, how did the Japanese manufacturers did it?
- What is special about the Japanese market that allows these phones to survive?
- What difficulty would there be for let's say Rakuten to sell their phones internationally just like Sony did?
A few points of relevant observation:
- Japanese consumer electronics manufacturers have a habit of keeping their best products only to Japan - such as DSLRs.
- There is a strong customer base for mini devices in Japan. GPD pocket laptops are in regular stores.
