I have mixed feelings about the Pixel 10A's flat camera bump

Google's Pixel 10A will continue to have a flat camera bump, following on from the Pixel 9A.

When I first learned that the Pixel 9A's camera array would be level with the rest of the back, I was elated! "Finally, a phone without a camera bump," I thought. But when I reviewed the Pixel 9A, it looked almost too minimal.

I like the camera bars on the minimalist-looking Pixel 10 family, but without them, the Pixel 9A looked almost too minimal. I was reminded of what Paul Snyder, chair of transportation design for undergraduate studies at the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, told me about Apple's ever-minimal iPhone design: "You can't go more minimal than minimal." Well, Google did.
