PiP won’t work with two media apps? Ugh, I was hoping I could watch two sports games concurrently! Especially during times like now and October, where you have playoff games of one sport and the regular season swing of your favorite teams in the other. I can do this with my Tab S8! If only it could work natively.
On one hand, amazing athletic ability by Mookie to convert to yet another position! On the other hand, I really hope Lux figures it out. His throws have been rough to put it kindly so far. His errant throws can easily cause Freddie an injury by trying to save his terrible arm in regular season games.
I have one with the nail clipper and small scissors, and it’s been such a lifesaver! The clippers are actually better than most of the dedicated clippers I’ve used. I’m hoping they come up with a bigger version with a few more tools attached, and more interesting materials for a back up pair!
How do you think they got their lower budget models to be so successful? By using the R&D and marketing budget on their flagships. Do you think Samsung would still be selling as many lower end phones if they couldn’t advertise and actually entice consumers? They would be competing for scraps along with Moto, Asus, and other niche brands. Hell, there might not even be an Android presence in the US if they only made $200 phones! Apple’s domination would be complete.
Right!? I’ve used over 8 SD Cards since I first got the Samsung Galaxy S2, starting from 64GB to a 1TB one. Never experienced a single issue! You know what I did see happen though? A buddy’s Samsung S21 completely brick and he couldn’t retrieve any of his data since everything was stored internally. Luckily for him, at least his photos were backed up on the cloud. Lost his entire music and emulation collection in the process though.
This is my first non-Samsung phone, and after a lot of tweaking and using Nova Launcher (yes, yes, they got bought out by Branch) for the first time in a while, I can say I absolutely love this phone! I won’t say it’s better than a Samsung, but I can say that it’s more or less on par, which is enough for a phone that’s a few hundred bucks cheaper. Let me know if you want a more detailed breakdown between Pixels and Samsung (at least as of Note 20 Ultra’s specs)!
Yup! I really wanted a Sony Xperia for the hardware, but the 2 years of updates were a deal breaker. So for the price of a base model 128GB (lol) S23U, I got a 1TB Pixel 8 Pro and a case with enough money leftover for dinner with the price difference. Their holiday sales were pretty generous!
No, Samsung has lost the plot for the origins of their success - hardware supremacy and overwhelming features (e.g. SD card slot, headphone jacks). As I mentioned in another post discussing Apple overtaking Samsung for the first time in a decade in volume of sales, they removed everything that made their phones a compelling device, and decided to be an equally expensive iPhone clone. In an era where consumers are so starved for hardware features that Nothing Phone made a living out of glowing back plates, and iPhone got applauded for an action button, Samsung’s leadership has seriously miscalculated and failed.
