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.

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.

I know. I mentioned that bit as many people would be more familiar with vegan leather wording and would've assumed this was a different leather type.

Pros

• Aluminum unibody.
• Bright HDR screen, 144Hz refresh rate.
• Great battery life, fast to charger.
• Very loud speakers.
• Flagship-grade performance, good stability.
• Clean and fast OxygenOS.
• Optional stylus and keyboard with touchpad available.

Cons

• Low screen contrast ratio.
• No fingerprint scanner.
• Poor camera quality.
• No desktop UI.
• Charger is bundled only when purchasing direct from OnePlus.
• The Smart Keyboard could be better at switching between languages and trackpad click action is hit-and-miss.

This was probably the translation. But, they mean Vegan leather when they say fake leather.

Pros

• attractive and high-quality chassis
• self-repairable
• fast WLAN
• many mobile phone frequencies
• eSIM support
• freely assignable button
• 4K video recording
• wireless charging
• hardly any throttling under load

Cons

• PWM flickering
• Self* repair requires special tools
• only 2 OS updates promised
• Screen could be brighter and more color accurate
• comparatively slow SoC
• high price
• quite heavy
