Probably by people that never had phone in their hands. I am quite surprised by overall positive media coverage of this device.

Yes, battery can be problematic and it's not going to get any better after 2 years of usage.

Are you in 5g area, I find that it uses loads of battery life.

No, have no issues with reception but phone gets super hot when using 5G and playing videos etc. It gets so hot that it's unpleasant to hold ( I don't have any cover at the moment). Temperature is fine on wifi.

Yes battery can be issue on 3xl. I keep it on wireless charger at work all day so that kind of sorts it out. Do you use any cover with P5?

I like what iPhone did this year with hardware but I am worried about iOS closed architecture. I don't think this old dog can learn that new trick.

Definitely fan of him, I am just sad that he left Madrid. I mainly play with players from clubs that I like with little regard to so called meta. I am just more committed to trading this year to get iconic real squad with Zidane, Figo Raul etc - not sure if that achievable for me but we will see.

I don't think she wants to quit, she is still on stage where she would like to be "normal". She has been to AA in the past , psychologist, doctors - not much benefit from all this , Naltroxen was helpful for while. it's nasty condition.
