What's the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster... But there's no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren't taking risks any more.

It's previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds...

I've had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

Of all the people who took part in the breakdancing, I only remember one name... RAYGUN, pew pew.

"We had these little patches where there were odour points and the bandicoots would think ‘that smells good’, and they would dig there, and get nothing,” Banks said.

No wonder some of them around here are so petulant

But more often than not, Australia’s citizens found themselves little better off if at all. This turned out to be a common international experience for other countries privatising their utilities.

Name one thing that's been privatised that has resulted in any combination of better product, better service, or better price?

"three to four" countries... Who's the fractional country having a crack?

I use to get a "trk special" at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the "xxxx trucks special" which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

Doesn't work on Firefox for Android

Not sure why I'm bothering to check when there's other superior options that already work though.
