Gadgets are getting too thin, again. <\/p>\n

These past few weeks saw some of the latest victims of the seemingly unending drive towards making our devices as thin as possible, no matter the consequences. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus<\/a> \u2014 what will undoubtedly be some of the most popular Android phones of the year \u2014 are thinner than last year\u2019s models and held back by disappointing battery life. The new Dell XPS 15<\/a> is \u201cexceptionally thin and light\u201d but barely lasts four hours on a charge and runs nearly as hot as the sun. And the OnePlus 10 Pro<\/a> is a flagship smartphone that can somehow be snapped in half with your bare hands. <\/p>\n

It seems that despite over a decade of chasing the thinnest, lightest phones and computers around to the detriment of battery life, cooling, and durability, companies still haven\u2019t learned their lessons. <\/p>\n
