So, they’re smaller, right? Or is that not how measurements work?
This whole argument is nonsense, and doesn’t change the pint that 6.3 is not “compact”.
That we can find any phone smaller given the market today, means it isn’t compact.
The Samsung S4 Mini was compact compared to the S4, by design.
Plenty.
And that’s an irrelevant strawman and goalpost move all rolled into one anyway. I’m currently running a Pixel 5,which is noticeably smaller.
6.3 is not compact.
Android isn’t Linux, Android is a Java implementation using a Linux kernel (IIRC) - the Linux part isn’t even “complete” - when you root you find there are tools you need to add to get typical Linux capability (busybox, init-d, etc). .
So you’re not going to install an Android APK on Linux or anything else, unless it emulates Android.
The language used doesn’t mean much - lots of stuff for Windows was written using C languages, and those would never run on Linux or Unix.
I guess we’re making up our own definitions these days… 6.3 is now compact?
If I understand you correctly, the developmental changes occurring between releases (every little step change/test) won’t be visible to us, just the final results in the form of the release code? (All corrections/clarifications accepted, hell, requested). We’d still be able to compile, but we wouldn’t necessarily have code for those small, incremental changes.
About every 3 days or it gets wonky.
Newly setup too, about 2 months ago, Android 13
And peoe want that sweet, sweet, “convenience”.
I want proper use of swap/cache by default, not something I have to root to get.
Why is my browser reloading pages because I switched apps, on a 6gb phone?
I could prevent this on a 2gb phone in 2017 with root by configuring it properly.
Check out the apps Hermit and Native Alpha. They make web pages run like an app. I’ve only run into a couple sites where they don’t work right.
I vaguely recall a recent-ish article that an average web page is 30mb. That’s right, thirty megabytes.
It’s amazing how much faster web browsing becomes when I run PiHole and block most of it.
Suddenly the TV is pretty snappy, and all browsers feel so much smoother.
Anuto is fun, I really like the back-to-gradeschool graphics
Ok, now this looks impressive, since they publish the API and CAD files for you to build your own add ons.
I can’t think of add-ons I’d want - I’m more for smaller phones today, so the bulk doesn’t really appeal to me. But I’m eager to see what people create (may already be some stuff posted on 3D printing sites, I haven’t looked). Maybe an add-on battery that’s the size of the back but really thin?
Edit: LOVE that it’s a plastic phone. Please, more plastic phones, they’re lighter and tougher.
Lol, nice.
Not that it matters, really, as it’s all about battery chemistry, and there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Apple may do something differently than Android manufacturers, but they all have the same choices - tweak the voltage/current profile, manage temp, limit recharge bounce when a phone sits on the charger.
Actual answer: fast charging will always do more damage than slower charging. It’s all tradeoffs, and I will trade my battery longevity for fast charging when I need it. When I have time, slower charging is fine.
I think SMS Backup Restore can export to HTML.
I just say “post grezz sequel”. Sorry if it pisses people off, but it’s a stupid name, so I’m gonna say it the way I want.
I look forward to the day when all these lame-ass, insider naming conventions are looked down upon as the stupid things they are.
Wtf does “en jinx” or “engine X” have to do with it’s functionality?
I hate looking for an app on my phone that does a particular thing but hell if I can recall what the idiot developed called it.
Rules of English, the closest I’d come is n-jinx. You don’t pronounce letters individually, unless reciting the alphabet or something.
Unless you pronounce the letter “B” the same way you say it, like the bug that makes honey.
We don’t say “beenefits” or “bee eee an eee eef eye tee ess”
Wtf?
It’s Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should’ve spelled it differently…
Like GIF
Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin’ vowel short of a common male name.
Morons.
Easily replaceable batteries.
I have a 2017 phone I just put a battery in for $10. They’re replaceable, just not without tools.
I’d rather have bezels - they make holding a phone easier.
