Poe’s law hits hard sometimes.

Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient “nice to have” item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.

You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.

I wanted to use this but it made my DT2W and lift to wake completely useless. It’s a pity because these are the only two issues I had with it.

By that logic, all websites are not blocked in China.

Erm, that’s not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We’re talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.

That’s different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.

Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.

I’ve literally tried every single fix like toggling settings, installing and playing around with custom kernels or trying out root apps, and I’ve never been able to reduce the aggressiveness of MIUI’s RAM management.

That issue persisted even on my flagship-equivalent end MIUI devices. It only seems to disappear after installing AOSP-based custom ROMs.

That is not a lock in though? It’s just personal preference to avoid paying double for apps.

I’ve literally never heard of Keen until this article.

The current method for sideloading apps without a developer account seems to be limited to three separate apps at a time.

I don’t think that’s Signal haha

Is there a guide to this? I still can’t use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.

The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.

I mean, a lot of people use Messenger to contact other people, so I guess they do?

I assume that you are talking about connectivity issues?

On a side note, I used an international base S22 and had terrible battery life when I was in the US. However, that’s likely due to the chip’s inefficiencies rather the connectivity issues. I had strong 4G/5G reception on T-Mobile.

We have a free subscription through our home fibre bundle.

The S23 is what the S22 should’ve been. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a beast!

I’m confused, I just did a quick search and found one on Amazon that’s listed for about $14. Am I missing something here?

Charge it whenever you need to, but heat is the battery’s biggest enemy. A slow charger is ideal since it generates less heat.

If your phone is plugged most of the time, you can consider setting a charge limit if you don’t typically use more than what limit is supported.

Yes, but it works better for those whose main SIMs are on iPhones. I personally use BlueBubbles at the moment.
