If they could they would easily be No.1. Their hardware lasts years. But their software, nope..

The warning prompt for dangerous permissions is not fun either.

That was a problem in the old android 10 smartphones on some devices. Most smartphones except from xiaomi can use gestures with 3rd party launchers. Not allowing gestures with other launchers is on xiaomi.

The animations may be buggy and, there may be other bugs. But, it works in other brand smartphones.

8 gen 1 was a 2022 chipset. The reason it's not being compared to 8 gen 3 is because its not in the same league as the latest 8 gen Snapdragon.

Usually, the reason my phone restarts is due to using virtual RAM and having the phone under memory pressure. Disabling or reducing the virtual RAM made the phone snappy at the cost of increased App reloads. Choose the balance you like. The hardware is not strong enough for multi tasking anyway. Assuming it has RAM plus.

I'm speaking from experience of using galaxy A22 5g which had 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. But, this is still true on my realme smartphone with 12GB of RAM.

AI controlled music is legit a cool idea, just thumbs up or down the song it played to change it and show me new cool stuff.

Yeah.

Except Google.

Lol

The last time I had tried some 4-5years I would hardly get any surveys. I figured it was s waste of time. So, uninstalled the app.

People still use this app?

Can't you use the website instead? Is the MCDonalds app necessary for orders? I use hermit to sandbox webapps for services which do not require a app.

According to the below two articles. It's 1-5 meters in optimal conditions. And some of it may require additional hardware for tracking.

That 2gb can make the difference between apps being reloaded or not. 6GB is the barely minimum if you use your phone more than just a phone. In a few years 8GB will be the new minimum.

This is the correct answer. I made a 1.5 minute long phone call. Before recording, the phone app used 152mb of storage space. But, after call recording it increased to 154mb.

Super fast charging damaging your batteries hasn't been true for a while. Charging standards like supervooc push the heat to the charger and charge two battery cells simultaneously. This reduces heat generation significantly than if you were to charge traditionally. My 15w samsung smartphone generates much more heat while charging compared to my 67w realme smartphone which stays cooler even while charging at quadruple of speeds.

Other smartphones slow the charging rate when the display is on. Phones which support supervooc can charge your phone at the same speed regardless of display being on or off.

My phone also has a smart charging feature where it can slow charge the battery at night & limit it to 80%. In the morning just before I remove the phone from the charger it will finish charging to 100%.

Spotify has to support the DTI for it to work. Considering, Spotify's business model. I doubt they would support.

I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won't be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.

They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.

This wouldn't have been an issue if samsung provided a charger in the box. Which they don't. And now, push the blame to 3rd party chargers.

TL;DR

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 users are reporting paint peeling issues just weeks after the phone’s release.

• Samsung attributes the problem to third-party chargers causing leakage currents, advising users to stick with official Samsung chargers.

• The explanation has drawn comparisons to Apple’s infamous “you’re holding it wrong” moment.

Yeah, I noticed this yesterday when I saw 3 apps being downloaded and updated simultaneously.

One downside I noticed was play store became too slow to do anything else and super glitchy – like pressing the update details button didn't do anything. The animation was slowed down and I couldn't load anything else in a jiffy.

When it finally started to accept user inputs pressing back it was existing the updates page and still being on the updates page. Apparently, it opened the updates view multiple times I had to close the play store app and re-open to fix the issue.

So, while it can do simultaneously updates its not glitch free and has bugs in general.

It's cheap for a reason. Samsung's equivalent smartphone are more going to be more expensive in comparison.

16GB ram is only available on the top end models of high end smartphones. Regular Instagram, Facebook users are not buying those Smartphones.

You could get the moondrop if it's available in your region.

In the context of LLM its not. Multitasking and performance would suffer for these use cases.

As someone who did not. What is it referencing here?

Edit: Thanks for the replies. The video was funny, lol.

Just getting the 3GB of RAM used is not the issue. There are apps which can use even more. The issue is its reserved meaning its not available to your other apps.

An option to remove the lock while still being able to utilize the RAM (should the need arise) and AI features should be provided for flexibility should one desire.

16GB of RAM sounded too good to be true. Granted 13GB is nothing for sneeze at still. Hopefully, they can provide an option to toggle it off. Sounds wasteful for people who would use it once a while.

So here's what went down. We tested the water resistance, first in terms of immersion and then its ability to withstand water pressure. Then, we put it in a washing machine to verify a claim by Honor that it can survive something like this with no issue. Turns out, it was true. Sadly we didn't have a hydraulic press handy to verify the other in-house test by the marker.

We then froze the Magic V3 inside a block of ice, to test its ability to withstand temperature extremes. The phone passed all of these tests with flying colors. We tried to scratch the folding screen's applied plastic protector, and, well it did scratch, very easily, with fingernails only. It was just the replaceable protector, though, so not as bad as it sounds.

The Magic V3's hinge probably got the worst treatment. We made it carry a 5kg weight, and it didn't budge. We then used the phone as a hammer, denting it a little bit - but not impacting the normal operation. And finally we did some drop tests and we're not going to spoil these for you - make sure you watch the video until the end to see the results.

Yeah, this is such a scummy move by HMD. Allow boot loader unlocking if you are consumer friendly.

Apart from Fairphone there are really no other options. This is like a poor man's fairphone.

I would not buy a smart ring. But, if I was and it supported QI2. It should support the Magnet Power Profile to even be worth mentioning.

Lol

Yeah, why not. You can see the price list for screens on samsung au website here: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-watch-screen-replacement-pricing/ Other regions should have similar prices

Yeah, but I wasn't aware about this. I assumed they would be slightly hard to repair but not throw in the bin hard to repair.

That was almost a decade ago or even before. I remember adockers recommending white listing search engines or recommending to disable non-instrusive ads to support websites.

Your whole existence revolves around peddling ads before people can watch the ads they want.

Ah, what. Who wants or likes to watch ads at all?

The logo guidelines of the Wireless Power Consortium state that products that do not have magnets must still be marketed with the old Qi logo. So if you want to buy a Qi2 product with support for magnetic accessories, you only need to look out for the Qi2 logo. In practice, it may not always be quite so simple.

. According to this table, the logo originally intended for Qi2 designates products that do not support magnets, while the same logo framed by a circle was intended to denote the Magnetic Power Profile.

Since this logo (Qi2 in a circle) has been used rather sporadically in the past, a Notebookcheck editor spoke to one of the companies responsible at CES. Accordingly, it is an outdated logo that will no longer be used. This can be seen in the HMD Skyline, the first Android smartphone with support for Qi2, including Magnetic Power Profile, which is marketed with the Qi2 logo without the circle.

HMD Skyline supports QI2 with magnets but uses the logo without the circle. So, basically anything marketed with QI2 may or may not support magnetic attachment like magsafe.

You would need to confirm by checking the product database or reviews to know if the smartphone or accessory actually supports Magnetic Power Profile QI2

For all the sustainability push and saving the planet green talk. They like other manufacturers were quick to remove the charger from the box.

But, now nothing. Replace or throw the Pixel watch in the bin if broken.

27T Pro is a well-equipped smartphone. 5G support is on board thanks to the installed MediaTek Dimensity 6300. The RAM measures 12 GB and the internal storage 256 GB, of which the latter can be expanded with a microSD card, even when used with two SIM cards. A standout feature in particular is the battery, which, at 10,600 mAh, is very large. The smartphone can be charged wirelessly with 30 watts. Other devices such as headphones can also be charged by the Armor 27T Pro itself via reverse wireless charging

Being a rugged smartphone, it is naturally very thick at 18.5 millimeters and weighs an impressive 411 grams. The heavy weight is of course due to the robust design, with the manufacturer claiming compliance with the IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H standards. Moreover, a night vision camera is on board and IR images can also be taken, so thermal bridges or heat build-up, for example, can be detected.

Looks Interesting. Almost twice as heavy and twice as thick as my current phone.

Qualcomm just announced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the company’s latest 4nm mid-range SoC with built-in on-device AI features with support for LLMs including Baichuan-7B, Llama 2 at 1B parameters and others as the successor to last year’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 that powers several phones including the latest realme 13 pro series.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 promises nearly 20% better performance and 45% power savings, compared to the predecessor. The new Qualcomm
Adreno GPU promises up to 40% performance improvement. With the on-device AI, the Qualcomm AI Engine promises over 30% better AI performance compared to the 7s Gen 2.

The low performance upgrade would've been fine. But, even the AI performance is just 30% better. This Soc is Average at best. One redeeming quality is 45% power saving. But, considering how weak the 7s gen 2 already was, this is Average.

2 OS updates and 3 years of security patches alongside average power consumption, and average materials. It received 52% sustainability score.

All in all. This is a poor man's Fairphone.
