Do you use the official Spotify client or a third party one like ncspot? Not that the latter will remain for long now considering API changes on Spotify’s end.

I have a Nokia C01 Plus. It was very cheap and it’s just kept, only used occasionally by me. It has Android 11, probably Go version only.

Otherwise, my main phone was littered with bloatware(looks at Realme).

HMD, the spiritual successor to Nokia, still produces the odd phone (latest being the HMD Fusion) that is close to stock Android in feeling. The author mentions that folks looking for stock Android are well served by Pixel A series of phones but they are still overwhelmingly expensive, Atleast in emerging markets.

They are a major force in the Chinese market so maybe it might see some traction there, but otherwise, I still don’t see a third mobile OS getting genuine market share.

The factory itself was built relatively close to the city(state capital as well). The chairman of the company, I think Warren Anderson was his name, visited India but instead of being arrested was personally given a safe passage by then Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi.

Less than 10 people were ever convicted. Corporate greed overruled human lives that day.

I could be wrong, but didn’t previous generation of Samsung A series phones come with eMMC storage. I think this has UFS 2.2, so slight increase there as well.

But I agree that overall it’s an incremental upgrade only. And base model of 4GB RAM might not hold in the long term. I had/have an entry level Samsung phone(A05 I guess), but that stutters much

That would be so much better. Even phones with similar battery capacity exhibit so much difference in stand by times. I have a Realme phone right now but it’s 5000 mAh battery seems very weak for me. Granted I am coming from a 7000mAh Techno phone, but this one feels almost half as efficient only. I guess stuff like higher refresh rates and OS optimizations do play hidden roles.

Do Silicon Carbon batteries have a lower lifespan than Lion ones? I know they allow for more dense and higher batteries to be packed in slim packaging but didn’t knew if there is any potential downside.

As for Arc, I have heard so much praise for it as if it’s the next best thing since sliced bread.
