  • You could get the pixel 8 when its on discount. It would continue to get updates for years to come.

  • Agreed. This news about Nord 4 is surprising and even higher than Samsung's 4-5 years for midrange smartphones.

  • No, not FLAC music library. I have lots of games and apps which take around 248GB. Some streaming apps like crunchyroll easily take 33GB, genshin impact 27GB, Netflix 17GB, titan quest 5.9GB, wreakfest 5.9GB, Youtube Music 5.4GB, etc.

    Other data around 288GB is media like movies, serial, TVs which I downloaded for offline viewing. ROMs for gaming take around 17.7GB, 21GB is downloads including some HDR videos, LLM models, etc.

    The total occupied at this point is 640GB out of 1TB.

  • Anywhere from $300-$400. Can be extended to $450 should the phone be that good. Unfortunately, current phones are not that exciting or offer high enough built-in storage with/without sdcard support. So, I plan to keep using my phone until something really good comes along. Till then, I can wait a few years.

    My current phone (realme narzo 60 pro) cost $340 and has 12GB of ram and 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. No other phone offers that in sub $400 or even $500 price range. The company that created this phone did not do this again. The realme GT 6T and GT 6 both max out at 512gb storage variants. Meaning, an upgrade would be a downgrade in storage.

  • A mix of that and also tech literacy. Most people don't even know you have some choice in web browsers.

  • If software assumed it was being designed and ran with the lunar program approach (only what the desired need requires in a fair amount of time), we would get so much life out of everything....

    Won't happen because everything needs to doing all sorts of things for various reasons.

    Fuck capitalism

    Because, correct

    at least had a true custom setting that actually did that.

    Android actually has many settings that do just that. Battery saver in a way is also that setting.

  • Because, they don't know they can. With alternatives based like Open street maps.

  • Hmm, i appear to have missed the news. Can you share an article about that?

  • It's not a joke. I use it for most of my messaging needs. Text, WhatsApp, RCS, discord. You name. One app for all messaging.

  • The breach was because of an unsecured API endpoint. No actual auth codes were leaked. without 2FA the attacker would just need your password and email to get account access.

  • Good question. You would need to start by changing all your account passwords. Next export your 2 factor auth codes. Import your auth codes in a good open source auth app. Then, one by one set new auth codes for your accounts.

    This should be sufficient to protect your online accounts.

  • This is a foldable phone. Weight is a higher factor here compared to regular smartphones. Still compared to galaxy fold 5 with its 4400mah battery and 25w charging. This is much superior with its 5000mah battery which also supports 66w fast charging

  • The red color option looks cool. Unfortunately, 6s gen 3 doesn't cut it IMO.

  • Does it allow you to install apks without ads? Apkmirror may have an issue with that and block the client from their site.

    They had approached obtainum and reached a mutual agreement to remove app installations to avoid blockage.

  • You still have gestures as far as I know.

  • If it was easy to make better processors everyone would be doing that. The exynos 2400 improved much more compared to previous generations. Better heat spread will mean improved performance and thermals. As for efficiency newer nodes should improve on this front.

  • No, in fact support has continued to improve

  • i hope google can also add support for floating windows for improved multitsking.

  • Hmm, for your use case face unlock should be more reliable.

  • TL;DR

    • Samsung is reportedly working on a new cooling solution for future Exynos smartphone processors.
    • This packaging tech is apparently derived from PCs and servers and sees a type of heatsink attached to the top of the processor.
    • Work on the tech could be completed by Q4 2024, suggesting the Exynos 2500 could potentially use it.
