I noticed a lot of issues and begging to update after I taped up the cameras and put a water resistant case blocking the microphone. I guess the phone really relies on that stuff more than before instead of the light sensor. Fun point, if it’s about dark the issues are less because the clock is around dark time.
the samsung a57 is the first one i ever had w/o and sd slot. has enough internal ram to equal the sd i had in the previous model though
Not sure why this is a “shit post.” This actually happened.
I miss the IR blaster so much, I used it constantly
For a little while you could buy an IR blaster that plugged into a headphone jack.
Can you explain this to me? I’ve never heard of this as a feature and literally cannot tell if this is a joke or real.
it turned your phone into a universal remote. useful for when you’ve lost your tv remote and such
I have it on my OnePlus Nord 5 but a few months back they killed the OnePlus brand in Europe and North America. :(
Now all that’s left of OnePlus is overpriced Realme phones and Oppo, which is outside of my budget…
Luckily this phone will probably last me the next 4 years or so, since I just bought it before they started killing the brand, which was not that long ago.
It was an IR led tied into the phone. You could record and send out IR signals to anything with a receiver like tvs, appliances, etc.
They remove the math-based image processing and replace it with AI, making all your photos invalid as any kind of evidence.
If you hate cops, that honestly sounds like a good thing
Just because they don’t know what the cameras are for doesn’t mean they don’t use them
The cameras are for different light and motion conditions. It happens automatically
They’re going to integrate AI and make it non-removable. “You need this.”
I read iOS 27 as this, and I didn’t update. But they’re going to force me.
My phone has an ir blaster, but the software is awful so I’m not going to call it out as a success here. It is a flagship, though.
I miss the headphone jack so much.
I totally get it but I have been pretty happy with the earbuds to be honest. I know that’s a bit of a hot take but I always wanted wireless in the past and I use my jabra’s on a daily basis. Still, I dont like the removal of useful features, we could easily have wireless earbuds and still have headphone jacks for fuck sake
That’s still a hard requirement for me, but I don’t mind using older “tech”.
They’ll replace the latest foldable hinge technology with low grade sand because Apple made theirs out of low grade sand.
>they took your bootloader unlocking >they took your sideloading(i think)they took your job(2027)
No more touch screens! You press a button to turn it on and you watch/look at/read whatever we give you to watch/look at/read! But first, point the camera at your ID and bank cards.
We’ll add five cameras! And guess what, if even one camera fails, we’ll brick all five! Isn’t that great! More points of failure for everyone ❤️
I had idiots argue with me you can easily pop out and replace batteries. There’s a reason why it’s a big selling point on the Fairphone.
Always on mic and forward facing camera
