I usually claim the free games but it seems I missed this :(

That’s the reason I haven’t gotten it until now. You may be right though.

Disco Elysium for under €3. Time to get it I guess.

It would be the perfect phone for me since it doesn’t have a camera bump and no notch on the front, even if I never game on a phone. The sheer size and the water sink that the fan holes are is what keeping me from getting it.

Been too long in design to know that this is perfectly plausible. On very, very, low budget projects tough.

24 bit / 96kHz playback over WiFi is going to be huge.

Nah, we designers only do stuff that help boost sales. If people want changes, we will do them, even if the make not much sense because they’ll sell more stuff. Kind of sad but this is it.

Particularly for those of us who care little to none about selfies.

For me, yes, certainly. I’ve seen the rise of iPhone and then the Galaxy by gauging the amount of people i see on the street with them. Not a market research but enough for me to gauge trends in phones or tablets.

I dunno, they are supposed to be selling like hot cakes but only yesterday I got to see a person, the first I’ve seen so far, with a foldable on the street. And I live in a big European capital.

Lack of tablet version is a business decision. Yes, it hurts users, as most business decisions do.

I like gestures not only because they are faster and feel more natural but mainly because the vertical space you gain in the screen.

How you get to cut some corners when you are charging €1900 for a phone?

At this point I no longer care. I yet haven’t uninstalled Apollo and Boost out of respect for the developers but haven’t used them in 3 weeks. Come the 30th I will uninstall them and that is it. I will continue tu use Reddit as a search clutch while it works but will only get my fix of news either here or via rss feed as I used to do prior to Reddit.
