The_Franz posted:my cousin got one of those just before thanksgiving and was showing it off. two days later, he was talking about how he has to take it back to the store because the screen developed a little blob of dead pixels after bumping the screen not particularly hard. there's also a very pronounced line where the hinge is which one did he have out of curiosity? the one in this post is like the razr, and then there's also the big ol phablet honker either way the technology isn't ready for wide adoption imo, viz., the screen issues and what not. glad someone who isn't me is buying enough of them to fund development though because eventually it'll be good enough for something that doesn't completely suck balls

quote:It's not flush, you can feel and see two little bumps or something. Go into a store to check it out, it doesn't bother me, I'd get it, love that flip action.  quote:I have been using the Flip3 since launch basically. IMO its not really worth it at 1K. Its a cool device but it gets old quick and the battery life is pretty horrible. I have 1h of sot since this morning and its down to 80%, so definitely wont last you a day on normal usage. the one that is most mysterious to me quote:If i hadn't jumped in the iPhone 13 on BF I'd probably get this one instead

i turned on spam filtering for my sms app... now when I get spam, it sends me a notification that it was filtered instead of just showing me the message so I can discard it google UX!

doctorfrog posted:I have my first Android phone (a cheapish 2021 Moto G Play) and I'm wondering if there's a good Android privacy guide out there. Supposedly this device has fewer unwanted apps compared to other phones, and yet to even be able to use the phone at all I've been forced to agree to a bunch of stuff including mandatory updates for apps I didn't consent to have on my device.

google has 1.8 billion gmail users, apple has 1.65 billion active users somehow google couldn't leverage that into an even mildly popular chat app they really blew it with google+, if they pushed a simple encrypted chat instead of a full facebook clone they'd probably have at least half that market

Perplx posted:google has 1.8 billion gmail users, apple has 1.65 billion active users the funny part is they literally had it with hangouts (or at least had something that lots of people used that could probably be relatively made encrypted) then they kept loving it with now no one uses their various chat apps

also notable that whatsapp has over 2 billion active users with a very modest featureset. just catered to a lot of markets with a touch of care, and didn't willfully gently caress things up at every turn.

iMessage is American exceptionalism, as usual. The USA is the only place where Apple products are noticeably common and their ecosystem has some traction. Everyone else on the planet uses WhatsApp.

my point was that singapore is a rich rear end in a top hat playground, like monaco, so of course the people there tend to have more of the $1000 cell phones. compare to, say, vietnam, where ios has around a 10% market share and people are primarily buying xiaomis and oppos. like i know everyone in yospos makes 300k and buys a new iphone every year, but they are still very much luxury items that the vast majority of the world can't justify purchasing. and since apple doesn't make imessage for any other platforms, whatsapp and facebook messenger are what people use.
