16GB ram is only available on the top end models of high end smartphones. Regular Instagram, Facebook users are not buying those Smartphones.

You could get the moondrop if it’s available in your region.

In the context of LLM its not. Multitasking and performance would suffer for these use cases.

As someone who did not. What is it referencing here?

Edit: Thanks for the replies. The video was funny, lol.

Just getting the 3GB of RAM used is not the issue. There are apps which can use even more. The issue is its reserved meaning its not available to your other apps.

An option to remove the lock while still being able to utilize the RAM (should the need arise) and AI features should be provided for flexibility should one desire.

16GB of RAM sounded too good to be true. Granted 13GB is nothing for sneeze at still. Hopefully, they can provide an option to toggle it off. Sounds wasteful for people who would use it once a while.

So here’s what went down. We tested the water resistance, first in terms of immersion and then its ability to withstand water pressure. Then, we put it in a washing machine to verify a claim by Honor that it can survive something like this with no issue. Turns out, it was true. Sadly we didn’t have a hydraulic press handy to verify the other in-house test by the marker.

We then froze the Magic V3 inside a block of ice, to test its ability to withstand temperature extremes. The phone passed all of these tests with flying colors. We tried to scratch the folding screen’s applied plastic protector, and, well it did scratch, very easily, with fingernails only. It was just the replaceable protector, though, so not as bad as it sounds.

The Magic V3’s hinge probably got the worst treatment. We made it carry a 5kg weight, and it didn’t budge. We then used the phone as a hammer, denting it a little bit - but not impacting the normal operation. And finally we did some drop tests and we’re not going to spoil these for you - make sure you watch the video until the end to see the results.

Yeah, this is such a scummy move by HMD. Allow boot loader unlocking if you are consumer friendly.

Apart from Fairphone there are really no other options. This is like a poor man’s fairphone.

I would not buy a smart ring. But, if I was and it supported QI2. It should support the Magnet Power Profile to even be worth mentioning.
