    The Worst Phone You've Ever Used?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 01:43 AM PDT

    Thought I'd get this post gong as I've just gotten a new phone and moved away from my two year long nightmare phone. It was a Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium and though on paper it was a decent phone in real life it was god awful.

    I had previously owned a Sony Xperia Z3 from 2015 to 2016 before moving to a Galaxy S7 up until late 2018. I will shoulder some of the blame as I decided I'd wanted to use a big phone but my god was that a mistake, which is why I got the XZ2P. That thing was a massive chonky boi. One handed use was impossible. Using my phone lying down caused massive arm cramps and with almost a quarter kg of phone I'm sure I gave myself a concussion every time I dropped it on my face.

    The size was a big part of the unusability for me but the user was experience and software was what really made it horrendous. Two years and three android versions later there was still no gesture navigation (which probably would have made using the phone easier) or face unlock, and I only just got system wide dark mode in April. The software was essentially stock android packed with Sony bloat with very little added in the way of user experience. I was baffled coming from my S7 as why screenshots didn't immediately allow for cropping or to go into scrolling capture mode? Why was there no screen recording, a feature that was on Z3 3 years earlier? Network interaction with my sim card was horrendous as well as after ages talking to multiple customer service places I found out that the thickness of the phone affected signal quality indoors and with no WiFi calling it meant people would try to call me and get a dead line alot. Horrendous app optimisation was also infuriating. There was a one in 5 chance that playing a song on Spotify would cause my phone to freeze for 5 mins then restart and plenty of games that should have been light work for the phones SD845 processor would run like utter shit because it clearly wasn't made with game performance in mind.

    I am so glad to be rid of it, so may I ask, what is the worst phone you've owned?

    An ode to iris scanners

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 06:53 PM PDT

    I saw something recently that mocked the iris scanner on the galaxy s8 and it made me think back to my S8 and how much I missed the iris scanner. I know it wasn't very popular and the under screen fingerprint reader is an amazing technology but I really do miss the iris scanner.

    I have some pretty bad eczema and it used to crop up on the pads of my fingers pretty frequently. Fingerprint scanners were more miss than hit for me.

    Like I said, it may not have been popular but I bet I'm not the only one that benefited from it. Thank you, little weird iris scanner.

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 Hands On & Tutorial

    Shouldn't we be glad that the Samsung Exynos exists?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:40 AM PDT

    I read a lot of comments that Samsung should ditch the Exynos Chip and use Snapdragon in all territories instead. While the 865+ is indeed superior, the 990 is still a very capable Chip and nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. I don't think most useres would even notice a diffrence in everyday use.

    Wouldn't ditching the Exynos give Snapdragon an insane amout of market share in the Android world?High Market share usally means higher prices and less innovation.

    The Exynos version of the Note20 Ultra gets double the base storage of the snapdragon version (256gb vs 128gb).

    Should have Samsung lowered the price as well? And if yes, by how much?
