Huh, I am hearing this source for the first time. I mostly used Mobilism and most of the apps from there used to come clean on Virus Total as well.

I also thought they had stopped making phones until I saw this review. But looks like their smartphone division is a shadow of its former self now. I think it is their only smartphone released this year, and there are no update promises either. There is a 3.5mm jack and micro SD slot which is good to have at this price point, but nothing really distinguishes this phone. I am not sure if this is an international release or just available in certain markets only.

I think these guys might be able to hack through the process and get stuff done and think getting other people to follow them will be trivial as well. But just because they didn't mess up, doesn't mean other people won't. A large majority might end up hurting themselves if they follow in their route.

Isn't medical tourism a thing in the US too; like you can fly to a developing country, get your treatment done by top specialists there and fly back to US and the cost would still be lower than what it would have taken to do in home country.

I just wrote it because it rhymed with the now memed 2004 anti piracy announcement You wouldn't download a car that was rightfully criticized.

C++ was my second programming language after BASIC, if that still qualifies as a programming language these days.

I think Asus Zenfone was an option for that. But for the newer updated model, even they went for a larger screen.

Unexpected factorial

Realme tested a 320W charging brick recently. It charged the battery in under 4 mins.

There are two models, the base and Plus one. Motorola claims that the latter had it's sound tuning done with help of Bose and apparently, reviews praised it's sound quality. However, the ANC is mediocre and atleast one feature(spatial head tracking to give more realistic audio) is limited to Motorola phones only.

Their case is lighter and more compact than mine Sennheiser one(but then, the Momentum series is incredibly bulky). I think Nothing also has decent series of earbuds in the same price range though their flashy looks might not be for everyone.

I had one too. Great specs and battery life but piss poor software support.

IIRC, top 4 out of the 5 vendors in India were Chinese with the outlier being Samsung. Nothing also has a factory in South India(Chennai, I think) which is why their products are almost available in India from Day 1 but they don't have much market share.

How else can they sell you their Moto Buds?

What do you mean you don't want Shorts inserted in your music player?

It isn't much better either. HTG went from a great site publishing tech articles to riddled with paywalls(you will encounter sign in screens if you read multiple articles quickly), Premium options, ad affiliated newsletter links and just constant churning of low quality filler mostly.

No entry level options, relatively lower specs for the price asked, mediocre software support. That being said, they are one of the few OEMs in their price segment to still offer headphone jacks.

It's a weird choice. I remember r/latestagecapitalism had one where if you accrued certain number of karma in unrelated subs, they would ban you.
