How else are they gonna sell you their Galaxy Buds? Except for entry level Samsung phones, they don't exist in this company 's lineup.
Amongst other manufacturers, Sony offers it but makes fewer devices per year and offers bad software support. Even companies like Motorola and Nothing prefer folks buy their MotoBuds and Nothing Ear respectively.
Yes, Samsung tends to load a lot of apps, sometimes almost duplicate variants of Google apps that do the same task.
Yes, I was referring to HTC Thunderbolt from the article. My current phone itself has relatively low battery life and it annoys me. One would have needed to charge the Thunderbolt phone probably twice a day
Not all phones listed are equally bad though. Nokia Pureview suffered from bad camera quality but I can live with that. What probably is unlivable is exceptionally short battery life, like on the HTC one. Still, an interesting opinion piece, if nothing else.
I have YouTube Premium though not the Family variant and Google won't just fix their app. It is way behind NewPipe or YouTube ReVanced. No, I don't need shorts. No I don't need constant nudges to join groups of YouTubers by paying after I just paid you money, Google!
What I want is system wide quality setting (what exactly does High or Data Saver mean; would it kill you to give 480p, 720p or 1080p as options) or Sponserblock integration (okay, this thing is probably never gonna happen but still). YouTube 's app is a stinking pile of shit. I just use YouTube Music from them and will cancel/not renew my plan after it lapses.
Whole set of panels from the author here. These are very old stuff (take a look at the Politics section, it is filled with references to 60s and 70s era US; therefore I guess this too was made much before).
I'll find a Sun article for this :p.
Yes, Amarok is also active again though it's UI is reasonably different from Clementine now.
I used it in the past on Linux and liked it's relatively small memory footprint though I am currently on Strawberry ( a fork of Clementine).
Yes, 4 out of top 5 slots in India (in terms of market share) are taken by Chinese OEMs (other being Samsung). However, not all are equally unknown. Brands like Xiaomi have released international phones as well and are regularly reviewed by Western publications. Techno, meanwhile, is slightly more focused on emerging countries and is out of depth in developed economies.
I have a question from this article not directly linked to this phone though. In the charging section, they have compared multiple phones and how much they charge in 30 minutes. The top slot is occupied by a Samsung phone with 45W charging support and 4900 mAh battery. However, Motorola and Xiaomi both have almost similar battery capacity and still charge slightly slower despite boasting significantly more (67W) charging support. What is the reason for this discrepancy?
