After watching this video I purchased it. Using the previous chipolo I could locate my mobile. But with the upgraded chipolo I cannot locate my mobile anymore. That is my experience of the previous chipolo and the upgraded Chipolo
One important thing to note for Connectivity as well: the Nothing 2a has the proper NFC chip for osaifu-keitai, Japan's e-payment system. So, if you want to use Suica, Nanaco, Kururu, or any other digital transport or payment cards while traveling in Japan, the 2a is the "better" option.
I find it very disappointing that some cool features of the old hand gesture command-like versions to slide the screen have been lost, and we see some Chinese phones bringing it up again.
I just upgraded from the note10 plus to the s24 plus. I'm just happy to have a current phone😊. At t-mobile to upgrade to the s24 ultra is $600 USD and that's with a trade in from a note10+. To upgrade to the s24+ it's $300, that's also with the same trade in. Yeah I like the ultra but that asking price of $600 is a no can do.
People should add Master Duel to the gaming suit of games to test seeing as how it makes even my OnePlus 10 Pro crumble to its knees begging for a break as it heats up all the way to 44C
Doh! Wake me when smart rings actually do something useful. So disappointed, looking into these when I found out about them and none of them are any bloody use!
I have the original iphone SE - the last small phone I had. When I pick it up, it feels so tiny - yet I can still USE it to do anything, the screen is fine and the biggest issue being things designed for a bigger screen - not often encountered. So iphone 13 mini had the correct width maybe, but it was still a flat slab. Imagine if the battery issue was solved by adding a little thickness... I still feel that a phone should be more of a phone, and then you can buy somethingi more like a tablet if you want that - ipad mini is a portable movie viewing experience, and a 9" to 10" screen is ok if you don't mind carrying a bag.
IPhone, Galaxy, Pixel.. are these the top 3 phones consistently? And they only compete with cheaper versions of their own phones.. are there any other good phone names out there? A 4th or 5th option. Motorola? One Plus. I have Tmobile, but can get an unlocked phone.
I have an AQUOS Sense 4 Android 'phone. I installed Find My Device successfully and then linked my NewBee M51 headset successfully, it works perfectly. However, when switching on the headset the phone briefly shows that it is connected, which it is, I can make and receive calls and listen to music. However, the M51 does not show its presence in Find My Device so if I mislay my headset my 'phone can't find it as it can't see it. I've checked every setting possible and have now given up, it simply does not work as designed.
Well rn im having a problem with the ecosystem, i literally cant find any app files with the google files app it forces us to get. Makes no sense. It limits you for no reason...
I think they did it on purpose to be able to lie to you about the battery "lasting longer" now.....rolleyes. I hate S24U, but since there is no alternative on the market..... Samsung is throwing customer satifsfaction overboard, I'll switch as soon as there is abtter over all phone available. It is ridiculous that there is no real world advantage over my Note 9, only disadavantages like removing Iris scanner and dedicate finger scanner.
Probably useless. What a lot of people need is a powerful phone without the need for a good camera. Put a good CPU and an average camera. Also always the medium size is there to force people to buy the large. Even when you buy popcorn at a movie theater. Of course it would be the weakest. It's a marketing strategy. Not a real product.
I just put my devices as a routine and just use the assistant Tile to toggle my smart devices, and as widgets on my phone. This update is more of a visual upgrade IMHO.
With Pixel 8a, what are the default settings (on or off) for 'Location, Location Services, Bluetooth Scanning' and 'Location, Location Services, Wifi Scanning'?
