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.

Lol

Yeah, why not. You can see the price list for screens on samsung au website here: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-watch-screen-replacement-pricing/ Other regions should have similar prices

Yeah, but I wasn't aware about this. I assumed they would be slightly hard to repair but not throw in the bin hard to repair.

That was almost a decade ago or even before. I remember adockers recommending white listing search engines or recommending to disable non-instrusive ads to support websites.

Your whole existence revolves around peddling ads before people can watch the ads they want.

Ah, what. Who wants or likes to watch ads at all?

The logo guidelines of the Wireless Power Consortium state that products that do not have magnets must still be marketed with the old Qi logo. So if you want to buy a Qi2 product with support for magnetic accessories, you only need to look out for the Qi2 logo. In practice, it may not always be quite so simple.

. According to this table, the logo originally intended for Qi2 designates products that do not support magnets, while the same logo framed by a circle was intended to denote the Magnetic Power Profile.

Since this logo (Qi2 in a circle) has been used rather sporadically in the past, a Notebookcheck editor spoke to one of the companies responsible at CES. Accordingly, it is an outdated logo that will no longer be used. This can be seen in the HMD Skyline, the first Android smartphone with support for Qi2, including Magnetic Power Profile, which is marketed with the Qi2 logo without the circle.

HMD Skyline supports QI2 with magnets but uses the logo without the circle. So, basically anything marketed with QI2 may or may not support magnetic attachment like magsafe.

You would need to confirm by checking the product database or reviews to know if the smartphone or accessory actually supports Magnetic Power Profile QI2

For all the sustainability push and saving the planet green talk. They like other manufacturers were quick to remove the charger from the box.

But, now nothing. Replace or throw the Pixel watch in the bin if broken.

27T Pro is a well-equipped smartphone. 5G support is on board thanks to the installed MediaTek Dimensity 6300. The RAM measures 12 GB and the internal storage 256 GB, of which the latter can be expanded with a microSD card, even when used with two SIM cards. A standout feature in particular is the battery, which, at 10,600 mAh, is very large. The smartphone can be charged wirelessly with 30 watts. Other devices such as headphones can also be charged by the Armor 27T Pro itself via reverse wireless charging

Being a rugged smartphone, it is naturally very thick at 18.5 millimeters and weighs an impressive 411 grams. The heavy weight is of course due to the robust design, with the manufacturer claiming compliance with the IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H standards. Moreover, a night vision camera is on board and IR images can also be taken, so thermal bridges or heat build-up, for example, can be detected.

Looks Interesting. Almost twice as heavy and twice as thick as my current phone.

Qualcomm just announced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the company’s latest 4nm mid-range SoC with built-in on-device AI features with support for LLMs including Baichuan-7B, Llama 2 at 1B parameters and others as the successor to last year’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 that powers several phones including the latest realme 13 pro series.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 promises nearly 20% better performance and 45% power savings, compared to the predecessor. The new Qualcomm
Adreno GPU promises up to 40% performance improvement. With the on-device AI, the Qualcomm AI Engine promises over 30% better AI performance compared to the 7s Gen 2.

The low performance upgrade would've been fine. But, even the AI performance is just 30% better. This Soc is Average at best. One redeeming quality is 45% power saving. But, considering how weak the 7s gen 2 already was, this is Average.

2 OS updates and 3 years of security patches alongside average power consumption, and average materials. It received 52% sustainability score.

All in all. This is a poor man's Fairphone.

I know. I mentioned that bit as many people would be more familiar with vegan leather wording and would've assumed this was a different leather type.
