Interesting, seeing penti keyboard being recommended in the wild. Are you also familiar with picolisp?

Thanks for the heads up. This will make sure we never commit such criminal activity ever again.

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.

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.
