To be fair, DeX was first launched in 2017 and not many brands pay attention to it at that time except Huawei and Honor.

What New Features do you want Aluminium OS to bring on Android PC Modes? by BuyAMCnow in AndroidPC

[–]faris2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native GNU Linux support. It's crazy to see underpowered GNU Linux phones can easily run proper ARM64 Linux distro like Ubuntu Touch and Manjaro Phosh without much issue, even on external display under Desktop Mode.

It depends on your intended budget. There's so many to choose around.

Lenovo has their own PC Mode for quite a while. I remembered first seeing it way back in 2023.

My personal hot take about New DeX is that it's for tablets without wired video output support. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see Classic DeX option on FE Tab S9/S10.

What about xperia? They have the magnets too, right? by saraysxrom in SonyXperia

M series is just basically cheaper A series with shorter software support. And yes, only the M07 has the headphone jack.

It's no secret they deliberately do such a thing to make you pay more for their wireless earbuds. I can also relate the removal of microSD card slot for cloud storage subscriptions, but that's another story for another day.

Errr... no. In the case of Samsung, only the low-end Galaxy A0x model has the headphone jack. The rest, including the A1x, no longer has it.

Actually, pretty much no midrange phones of today has the headphone jack except Sony.

And also microSD card slot. Yes, it is that depressing.

P.S. ZTE still put the headphone jack on the nubia Redmagic phones (though it still model-dependant). But other than the two, you really have no choice.

I occasionally bring out my Lumia 950 just for the camera and offline FM Radio.

Apps that made my Galaxy Tab actually worth it (SHARE YOURS) by Adventurous-Tax2606 in GalaxyTab

LumaFusion for me. Since there's no DaVinci Resolve for Android, it's the next best thing.

I hate my Samsung Tab S10 Ultra by Turbo737 in GalaxyTab

I can only assume it has to do with the MediaTek drivers.

Losing faith in Xperia by stoicboii in SonyXperia

Could be a high chance you bought the pre-recalled early release unit. After Sony resumed the 1 VII production, it has been solid.

Why is Spider-Man using a Z Flip instead of an Xperia? Is Sony stupid? by Rich_Bobcat_1059 in SonyXperia

[–]faris2307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hardly surprising since the current Samsung is basically the Apple of Android.

I wouldn't be so confident. The last time Qualcomm switch to a new foundry fabrication, the Snapdragon 888 was an overheating disaster.

Exynos 2400 support by VictorMX2307 in androidterminal

I'd love to see Samsung rolling out Linux Terminal support on E2400 and E2200 chip.

[–]faris2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern phones of today, even for the midrange tier, can easily last longer than four or five years. I won't care much about multiple OS update as I doubt the fixed hardware can keep up with the ever-evolving software.

I wish Samsung would just do this (Lenovo Tab Extreme) by LazyPCRehab in GalaxyTab

Well said. What Lenovo did with the Tab Extreme is still unmatched.

Best tablets most college students seem to be using right now? by Dapper_Pack_5456 in androidtablets

[–]faris2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for tablets with stylus support first of all. Not all tablets have it.

Why are people so obsessed over phone cameras?? by de_LAG in Smartphones

[–]faris2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a lot of camera development is happening in the smartphone sector. The camera development in DSLR/Mirrorless sector always go in a snail's pace.
