Originally posted by Boy View PostI still feel the additional effort/cost would be negligible. There's no need to have a different mould. Software-wise, it's relatively easy to maintain just 1 variant that can work with the absence of the camera. It's running Android after all, where camera access is not guaranteed (permission-based). Besides, since SIA is not using the camera function anyway, existing code may even work without any change.
I don't believe SIA has no bargaining power (to ask for the modification at little to no extra cost) in this case. Looks more like an oversight if you ask me.
By the way, removal of camera of smartphone from non-official dealers (might not really be authorized too) already cost about $20 to $30 per set. Expect it to cost even more for authorized removal from OEM (if they even offered one in the first place).
