Did they forget smartphones exist? Why would I want another device for something my smartphone could do?
Segmentation
There is definitely a case for having a separate device for something a smartphone can do, if it can do it better, e.g a camera.
This device doesn't do it better in my opinion.
Frankly things have gone full circle and the list of "external devices that can do it better" seems to get larger and larger each release. Pretty much all phones excel at these days is scrolling through social media and keeping us entertained on the toilet.
