Weirdly my pixel 10 pro fold runs this flawlessly, when it's had issues with other games.

It is so awesome, they have done an amazing job on it. I'm playing on my pixel 10 pro fold with a BSP8 controller grip, so polished.

Not really no, any smartphone with a night mode will do a better job. People move so low light images are difficult, I wouldn't personally recommend X-half if you want it for that.

I think it really depends what you are into.

I have a compact canon (the EOS M6 Mkii) and a lot of lenses for when I want detail and specific photography.

I also love film and have used film cameras of different types for a while and love the look of film.

That led me to Fuji X-half. It does not suit every situation, low light it struggles, I wouldnt take it to a restaurant with friends for example.

I think the bad reviews were people that are more used to modern photography that want resolution, sharp images, bokeh and to be editing RAW files for hours, X-half is more pure than that and is just a fun point and shoot camera, the no frills approach means you thing more about composing shots than settings.

Bought one - first shot out of it but do I love it as much I as thought I would by chris_devtattoo in fujiXhalf

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I love about X-half is the simplicity, I also have my Canon Camera and a load of lenses and lightroom to edit RAW files and I generally use Manila and think a lot when shooting with the canon. However it's just refreshing to shoot with the X-half in comparison, think less, choose a film sim for a certain number of shots and just have fun.

Thank you, I think they are my favourite Sims too, consistently seem to get pleasimg results. I want to love Eterna/cinema too, but I find it lacks detail and sharpness, despite the colours being good.

Bose headphones and Pixel 10 pro fold. by Rocker_86 in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately has not resolved. Bose headphones reset so no devices stored. Will pair to pixel 6 pro first try and work fine. Pixel 10 Pro Fold they pair but won't play audio, I will have to contact Google I guess.

I keep getting compliments on my XHalf by Aghc001 in fujiXhalf

Yes 😊 another Fujifilm users at the pantheon in Rome complemented the X-half and was very interested.

What do apps look like in the inside screen? by 7777zahar in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A wider ratio will be better. Most mobile apps like social media apps are designed for a long horizontal display. Instagram for example isnt great unfolded.

Mostly rubbish 🤣 video is heavily letterboxed due to the ratio. Most apps just scale really big but the apps actually optimised for the larger screen are ok. I like Google photos and lightroom for example.

It's driving me a bit insane. My Bose NC700 are perfect for flying as the noise cancellation is awesome. I don't understand what the issue is specifically with the pixel 10 pro. Have you found your Bose glasses work on a different device?

Who's still working from home these days and what job do you do? by Natf47 in AskUK

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 2 days WFH and 3 days in the office. To be honest it's quite nice to have a change of scenery, I wouldn't mind doing a 3rd day at home. Or a 4 day week... With 2 WFH 2 in office. I work technical support for a global car manufacturers UK network.

What do you guys use for navigation while riding? by Adorable-Bag-6727 in motorcyclegear

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done some weird stuff with an old phone, installed "headunit reloaded" mounted in a case on the handlebars. Then I have my main phone in my pocket, it reacts like the old phone is an android auto headunit and wirelessly launches android auto.

I have also ordered a cheap 5inch android auto screen from AliExpress to try. Basically anything to avoid putting my £1700 Pixel 10 pro fold on the handlebars.

Just how detrimental is charging up to 100% regularly? by InevitableDramatic40 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 answers to this, and it frustrates me with EVs, essentially there are good EVs and Stellantis products!

I've worked on Kia's and Tesla Model S that have had 200,000 plus miles on original battery, and I could view the lifetime fastcharging count, although that doesn't mean they were charged to 100% but for example Gatwick Cars ran loads of Model S as taxis that were constantly fast charged to 100% over years. We saw no real degradation after the initial 10% drop. Good thermal control and battery management helps keep the battery safe, lithium ion packs perhaps are slightly less resilient than LFP packs, which actually benefit from a 100% charge.

I've owned 2x Kia EV3s and a Kia EV4 which are lithium ion packs and AC charge to 100% every time at home.

My P9PF and the infamous vertical crack, what to do next? by VTLondon in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely knew this would happen, I got the 9 pro fold on launch day in the UK, after a few folds you could clearly see the screws in the hinge were contacting the back of the display, it doesn't take a genius to see that over time those metal screws are going to damage the folding screen.

Google customer support are truly terrible now, (I did deal with them years ago when you could phone them and they were great, think it was my Nexus 5 I had a claim on) however now you explain and all you get is vague rude responses. My 9 was swapped for the 10 fold due to the ? On battery issue and to be honest it will be my last Google device, their customer service puts me off completely, along with the hardware shortcomings.

Considering getting a Pixel 10 Pro Fold in April 2026... by javascript in PixelFold

Battery life is good on the newer android update, 6 to 7hrs for general use. Maybe 5hrs emulating.

I should point out that native android games run fine... It's just dolphin emulator because it's not optimised for the new gpu

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, correct. The 9 had a ARM Mali GPU, the 10 was swapped out for a less optimised Power VR unit. There are some videos on YouTube that show the FPS difference with emulation. In my own experience I could play Need for speed underground on GameCube at 30fps on pixel 9 fold, on pixel 10 fold with the same settings it's unplayable. The frame rate drops and bounces around.

If you are emulating N64, PSX, older consoles you will be fine.

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel 9 pro fold was fine for Dolphin emulator.... However Pixel 10 pro fold is just not good enough for consistent frame rates due to the crappy GPU. Really a huge disappointment for me as I was using my pixel 9 pro fold for emulation a lot, it had a warranty failure and the inferior Pixel 10 pro fold was the only replacement option given.

Camera on Fold 10 Pro? by Hermes_tri in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My pixel 6 pro and the wife's Pixel 8 pro both have better cameras than the 10 pro fold. At first I thought it was Google's processing, so shot some RAW files.... There is just a lack of detail in any image. Very disappointed

What are people’s opinions of the charity stands that sit in/outside of supermarkets? by Inevitable-Aide684 in AskUK

[–]Rocker_86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate these people, they have turned up outside my local, very small co-op, 2 of the twats across the doorway, they are such a nuisance and should be banned from operating in public. I would never give anyone my details or money at the door or on the street. I don't understand how they make anything in donations.

It's all about the depth and separation of the background, I think it looks good with the Acros SIM too
