I try to think this wherever I bemoan the lack of IPU4 support

Read enough there to make me never consider Moto again. I miss the Moto X days

Definitely shocked Pikachu vibes

Functionality is also nonexistent on administrating uploads in YT Music. At least on GPM you could edit basic tags and upload/edit album art. None of that on YTM

I love the phone despite the large size but can’t get GPS working in apps

Very interested in this considering the specs for possible price. Would love to know exactly which cirrus logic DAC is in this device though. Also I’d be fine with sticking to Android 13 for an audio focused phone but wish they’d at least commit to security patches

I used Pixel Experience on the Pocophone to replace MIUI, pretty much flawless experience. Many thanks to José and other contributors for their hard work!

Maybe we should just wait until the new phones are announced… https://www.gizmochina.com/2024/03/20/sony-isnt-discontinuing-the-xperia-5-series-hints-real-life-image-of-xperia-5-vi-protective-case/

Dom Joly moment

Praying the Xperia 5 VI is a bit more compact that the previous iteration. That and Sony actually start supporting their services for at least 5 years -_-

It’s got it’s faults but I love the speakers on my Zenfone 10. Very loud with good bass, especially for a relatively compact phone.

I’d love a phone with a dedicated DAC and decent shielding like the old LG V devices. Whilst there are dedicated DAPs with these features at this point I’d prefer an all in one device. Although the ZD10 has a headphone jack I can hear humming with no music/sound through them -_-

I wanted to like the 8 but the discrete modem meant battery life on 5G was still awful. It shouldn’t be an answer to have to disable 5G for a phone this expensive so until Google sort that I’m steering clear of Pixels. Hopefully they’ll resolve this for the 10 when Tensor G5 comes in

I know this is a meme but this is why I like being a a PopOS peasant. Proudly so, even

I’ve never had this come up and travel abroad a fair bit. Though now that I think about it I always use it through a VPN set to my home country lol

How’s Mull’s stability recently? I prefer it over Firefox too but switched back six months ago due to bugs cropping up here and there

Wayne Knight still underrated

I like mine, mainly small gripes for me like I wish the shielding was a bit better on the headphone jack, Meta apps weren’t bundled though ofc you can disable/remove them and the screen could be both brighter and get dimmer (to agree with the other review). I’m also a bit disappointed it doesn’t support e-sims, though does support dual physical SIMs.

Performance is great as expected, battery is solid and the camera is good whilst not matching Pixels imo. Asus’ skin is pretty light with some nice customisation options (like being able to switch between stock android and their version for certain parts of the OS). I also love the fingerprint sensor on the power button, just makes sense for me and reminds me of my old Xperia Compact phones. Whilst retaining the SD card slot would be handy, I went for 512GB so it’s not an issue for me

Sad how far Android Police have fallen, as well as Google themselves

I’ve been using OLauncher for nearly a year, very clean and simple. Maybe too simple compared to Niagara but I dig it plus it’s FOSS
