I like this. But this should be an option.

It’s kinda weird that there isn’t a 512gb tier. Since it’s kinda common in that price range.

I’m pretty sure it’s on device?

Maybe? I don’t follow nothing that much.

The only Android OEM that ik gives Linux Kernal software is Sony.

Yeah, there are 6 years of security updates, so it’s less of an issue imo.

Honestly with how shit google play store has become. Epic actually has a good chance to act as a platform for paid game/ported games.

This is such a cool foldable. It does suck that the cameras got downgraded compared to the previous model. But the tradeoffs seem reasonable to me. Props to oppo for this phone. I just wished we got it under the OnePlus open 2 in the states.

The Xiaomi bands are 50 bucks. The cheapest Garmin watch on their site that supports pay is 250 bucks.

If the EU law meets your expectations maybe the Xperia might fit your bill by then?

Yeah with the watch 7 they removed it from the phone. Just like how Samsung removed Bluetooth from the s25 ultra s pen.

I can charge my Samsung watch with my Samsung phone while charging my phone with single cable.

Yeah about that…

If I remember correctly, Samsung has removed that functionality on the new watches and phones.

You won’t get that combo in the west. Xiaomi fitness bands have support for NFC payment in China but not in the western market.

Maybe vivo, but definitely OnePlus allows you to do that. Cuz I know oppo does the same bs as Xiaomi doing.

Honestly, I’m okay with Android being stable. My issues with the removal, hardware features and just the stagnating updates from Samsung. When compared to their Chinese counterparts where they upgrade nearly everything.

Yeah I’m down for that tbf. Ngl I have become disillusioned with posting news about Android for the last few months. Because if it’s not Mishaal Rahman, the rest of the news feels cynical and apathetic.

Good. But they need to do it to all of the loot box/gatcha games.

I’m really excited for the OnePlus fold 2. I find it more interesting than what Samsung is currently doing.

I mean mediatek is capable. We see that they are using vivo’s x100 series but not the ultra.

While good sensors it seems like Samsung is just content with just staying in the mid to low-end segment.
