| Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:23 PM PST So I was randomly thinking about 3D photography and how it never took off when phones like the HTC EVO 3D were around. Then I thought to myself "hey those phones are probably cheap enough to justify buying it for the 3D camera alone" and in my search I discovered that there were still companies making 3D smartphones up until at least last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_3D-enabled_mobile_phones For instance, this Rokit 3D phone is $140. Now it's probably no different than buying some random brand phone off aliexpress but if it was literally just a digital camera that took 3D shots, then $140 doesn't seem like too bad of a price. Just browsing Amazon for a 3D capable camera shows I'd have to pay $400+ for that feature. Now, comparing that to an HTC EVO 3D off ebay for $35-$40 used... well yeah I could save myself $100 but I'd be on Android 4.x with a Snapdragon S3 and 1GB of RAM. The Rokit has a Mediatek P23 (might be similar in performance to a SD 600-series?) and 4GB of RAM with Android 9. And probably the most noticeable difference would be the screen resolution. The HTC's 4.3" 960×540 screen is horrid. haha [link] [comments] | ||
| Do you micromanage your phone's battery? Posted: 19 Nov 2020 07:57 AM PST There are various conflicting opinions on what are the best practices for maintaining your battery's health over time. This became a concern when smartphones quickly moved away from removable batteries. There are people who advise draconian measures, such as keeping the battery charge level between 40% - 80%, as well as only using a slow 5W charger. On the other side, there are those who don't want to pay attention to any of that, letting their phone go close to empty, then charging it to full on a fast 25W + charger and leaving it plugged in overnight. They tend to argue that the stress, time and effort spent micromanaging your battery is just not worth it, and that if considerable degradation does occur after a year or so, that one should simply just get a replacement which should only be in the double digit price range. Then, there's everything in between. So where do you stand on this with your phone? Do you micromanage it to try to extend the battery's lifespan as much as possible, or do you just use your phone without worrying one least bit about any of that? For me, I use only Apple 5W slow charging bricks and slow car chargers to limit heat generation as much as possible, and try to keep the charge level between 20% - 90% when possible. I feel like 30% - 70% or 40% - 80% is far too inconvenient and beats the purpose of enjoying your phone, and would just result in voluntarily reducing your battery's capacity far more than 1-2 years of normal degradation would.

| Does it bother you all the level of deep tacking Google implements on Android? Posted: 19 Nov 2020 07:15 AM PST Just wondering what people's opinions are on the deep level of tracking that Google does to your device. I'll be honest, I was recently shocked after watching some tech videos on YouTube and how deeply you are tracked. Even with flight mode on, the device gathers as much data as when it's off. When looking into my Google account, it's mad what they are recording. Literally almost every single interaction. What do you think? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 07:47 PM PST Google recently changes its whole app icon to an uniform design, so far every app except google play games got an update. Google doc and sheet got updates, but didn't change to the blue yellow green icon. Every other icon (including Google Pay recently) changed. Sometime its harder to find, but after using it for 2 weeks or more, these are warming up to me. [link] [comments] | ||
| Unpopular opinion: High refresh rate screens are pointless for phones Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:13 AM PST I've had a razer phone 2 for just over 2 yrs now. I love the screen: 1440p 16x9-great for watching videos.You can choose the screen to run at 60, 90, or 120hz. I use it as a normal phone-i rarely game on it (have pc for that). When it came out, there was literally a handful of mobile games that support high refresh rate, and now nearly every major phone supports 90/120hz- and there's only a few at a full 1440 res IIRC- so razer was way ahead of the game in that aspect. It's buttery smooth and looks great at 1440/120; but here's the drawback: It absolutely destroys battery life. I noticed that even when I first got it. You can set the screen to run at 1080p if you like; but the screen looks fuzzy. Too fuzzy for me. So far the only upside is that scrolling thru social media looks smoother. That's it. Honestly, unless you're a hardcore mobile gamer, 60hz is just fine. [link] [comments] |
