Am I the only one who thinks that 16 gb RAM or more is too much for a phone if it’s not for playing or hard tasks in general ? I think it’s better for a PC/Laptop though
Probably too much indeed, but I stick to very basic tasks on my phone
In the context of LLM its not. Multitasking and performance would suffer for these use cases.
Because we all needed LLMs on our phones.
I can’t see anyone outside of a extreme power user wanting this. People are unlikely to care.
16GB ram is only available on the top end models of high end smartphones. Regular Instagram, Facebook users are not buying those Smartphones.
People who uses Instagram and Facebook, should buy 16GB RAM model and high-end processor. Those apps are resource hogs.
Still there isn’t much need for that much ram
with how badly programmed some Android applications are it isn’t that outrageous, especially if someone wants to watch a movie and run multiple web scrapers in parallel in the background. Not everyone uses their phone the same way, and quite a few basically never use the calling or texting features that make it a phone.
Thinking about buying a nexdock, when and if they ever release ChromeOS for Android.
If I bought one now, would my pixel 8p be totally useless
It’s probably going to be an a running rambling thing, but if one day a mid-range phone with a jack would release I would be so happy.
Currently happy with the Motorola G84, but they removed it from the G85, and Sony are way overpriced.
HTC just came out of nowhere and released a phone with headphone Jack, micro SD slot. I think it might be more premium but either way it was a surprise, seeing them release something after all these years.
Interesting, thanks! https://m.gsmarena.com/htc_u24_pro-13138.php
Just had a look, too big for me (I prefer 160 mm high), but good to see one!
You could get the moondrop if it’s available in your region.
Interesting, didn’t know about this either! https://moondroplab.com/en/products/miad01
Again, a bit too big for me, but goot do know they exist
Why on earth does the YouTube splash screen on mobile sometimes randomly turn white??? At 2am??
Have been using Chipolo One Point with Google Find My Network for the past week.
I live in Central Europe (Warsaw in particular) and when in the city center, the location updates around twice every hour. I tested it by having it (knowingly) carried by my SO for a couple days. I disabled Fine My Network on her phone so that it wouldn’t be merely dependent on it. When in the city center, the location was accurate down to the building and updated twice an hour. The Find My app often shows a huge radius, but its center is usually the actual location.
When I put in our car which I left in our still high-density residential area it updated every couple hours still with acceptable accuracy. The range for direct connection is around 30 meters in clear view and 5 meters in obstructed.
You can share the tracker with other Google accounts, but they will only see newly updated locations after sharing, not the current location. You cannot access historical locations afaik.
Tracker can be marked as lost, however I’m not sure what this does. Supposedly holding someone’s “lost” tracker to your phone should give you contact information to the owner, but I tested this with three devices and it yielded no results.
