HAIL eSATA-n posted:idk it's really difficult to determine if this android pos with 20 cameras glued to it is a gimmick or not if it was huawei or even samsung maybe, but the old nokia camera team and zeiss did knock out stuff like the first optically image stabilized modules and other pretty neat advances on previous outings could still be some silly gimmick thing, but to me at least this falls under pretty interesting stuff to follow

oooof quote:The lack of low-light capabilities is also readily apparent when the L16 is pushed above ISO 400. If you’re expecting to go out to dinner with friends, and bring the L16 to capture the moment, you’re going to be frustrated with many missed moments and some generally poor output with crushed shadow detail. this thing has to be way better than phones for someone to want to carry it around and uh...

plenoptic cameras are a genuinely good idea. you can have a thin device with multiple cameras that captures an image without having to focus. unfortunately nobody seems able to make them.

it seems completely arbitrary which androids get good cameras. my like $200 nexus has a f/2.0 aperture and i still get surprised by good low-light exposures once in a while, even after having it for 2 years. but then there are Androids that cost 2-3x the price of mine that have worse cameras

apparently there's some basic automated checks when you upload to the play store, but other than that, no, they will only remove an app after the fact.

lol usb-c doesn't have anything in its spec about charge and audio play cables so its completely up to the phone to figure out how to handle it which is why its a shitpile and apple was right to avoid that trash on phones and stick to lightning

even if it isn't baked into the standard couldn't apple (or whoever) just devise a protocol that talks to a patented chip or something on the usb-c dongle like isn't this what apple does already

why would they want to do that on a connector form factor that isn't designed to actually support the weight of the device attaching to it only to have people get confused and complain when their proprietary solution doesn't work with others despite the plug being the same, which is exactly the problem android is dealing with right now that started this conversation.
