Most people I talk to dislike the camera hump on the back, but Google insists on it. I guess it is their new design language. Sad, because I think the simple design from the Pixel 4 to 5a was quite nice. But from what I hear, the series 6 hasn't been that much of a hit as they had anticipated it. I even once saw an ad for it in a cinema, which surprised me as non-internet Google advertisements have been rare in my experience. Not sure if the 7/7 Pro will be better, or if they will just throw everything away in a year or two, and start all over again.

Then again, the only reason I was even interested in following the development was because I had been considering to buy a new phone after 5 years to use Graphene OS.

No way, if you go caseless, it's so much better than the asymmetric camera bump. If you use a case, it doesn't matter either way.

Unless you have an iPhone 13/14 Pro where the case still juts out at the camera bump. Drives me nuts.

Perhaps, but my point is that the bump is too prominent. It would be nice if it could be more flat.

I don't mind, every phone has that now anyway. The big deal is that it isn't so asymmetrical, which I quite like visually and has practical benefits too (you can use it lying on a table).

I was under the impression that the Pixel 6-7 have a far more visible and perceptible bump than other devices.

It's needed to make good/competitive cameras nowadays.
