Looks like modular is the new buzzword for phones that look like that new nothing phone, with straps, pins and whatnot. I wonder is there really a market for these things?
I mean, I love what they’ve done with the Skyline, but this thing looks kind of useless.
I’m cautiosly optimistic. On the one hand the ubisoft mainz team ( formerly Related Designs ) have always delivered wrt anno games. On the other corporate Ubi and their tendency to enshittify everything they touch.
As a fan of futuristic annos I’m also not big on the theme, but they did outdo themselves with 1800, so there’s hope.
Starfield was the same. Looked pretty meh, but almost all (initial) reviewers gave it high marks. It wasn’t until people started playing that the truthful reviews surfaced. Guessing either paid reviews, or reviewers having a skewed view of what makes a game great.
Wow, it actually looks ok. Fuck, ubi, you better not screw this up!
Fair enough
Yeah, android authority posts a lot of Google-favorable “articles”. Almost as if they were getting paid to.
A shame motorola is cutting back features on their low end phones as well. They used to be the only decent manufacturer that offered fm radio. That’s now down to a handful of phones. The jack is gone as well. Expandable storage is also growing ever rarer. Meanwhile their cameras are still shit, their manufacturing quality is down, they don’t even bother with ip ratings. So what’s their selling point? Why would you buy a budget moto nowadays instead of dozens of other, better priced and better equipped alternatives? The gestures?
Yes, but the nexuses did not have the courage and the vision to remove jacks and sd cards, all while getting more expensive. Fuck I miss me a proper nexus.
Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?
Ladies and gents, this is what you get when an industry stops innovating. Moving search bars up and down, adding endless “summary” pages, obfuscating pages behind others etc
Omg a Revolt sequel! Please please please don’t fuck it up
That does sound like a pretty good deal. The thing is, it used to be a fantastic deal. And judging by the way they are acquiring multi billion studios and IPs left and right it’s clear as daylight that they want to monopolize the market and keep the subscription model for a long time, which means the deal will get ever worse. So yeah, this pricing change was definitely expected.
Didn’t mean to diminish your experience, sorry.
I’ll bet you 10 bucks sony will screw them over.
I’m loving the look of this thing, but “audiophile brand” just screams “overpriced as fuck” to me. Time will tell I suppose.
This map is misleading. I’m fairly certain my colleagues in latin america had easter mondays off, and they were all catholic. And speaking of, apparently orthodox easter doesn’t count, which leads to even more grey countries.
…and you follow the link and the details are “Fixed bugs and improved stability”
At this point we can safely assume that Raxxla will prove to be the friends we made along the way, CMDR
i would be willing to overlook those cons if they just allowed an unlockable bootloader. man i miss my 6.1 with lineageos
I’ve been corrected on the price - looks like I was using an older quote.
I do realize that their point is to make the phone’s manufacturing process fairer, but their older models were more decently priced, so I wonder how much of that tag is actually due the higher cost of manufacturing.
Still, since people switch phones a lot earlier than EoL, it would be nice if there was a way to discourage the frequent switching ( for marginal performance gains ) and instead encourage keeping smartphones until EoL ( which, granted, for some manufacturers is less than 2 years )
Almost pulled the trigger on a Skyline, but then read about the bootloader not being unlockable, and hmd “promising” to make it unlockable at a later time. That’s bullshit right there - if you offer only 2 years of software support you better make the bootloader unlockable, otherwise it’s e-waste.
