Very looking forward to this. I've been using kbin as a PWA on mobile and it's alright, but I'm excited to see the quality of life improvements that will come along with Sync as a client.
Asus has always been big on letting you customize your smartphone, to the point that there are two modes for most changes: “Stock Android” or “Asus Optimized.” These two modes can be chosen from your settings, and when setting up your device, you can choose one or the other. It changes how your notifications look, your volume panel, and your power menu
Tim Schofield shows that in his video at 5:13, and from 7:03 onwards. The Asus Optimized looks more feature-rich but the design is clearly pre-Android-12 and clashes with some of the modern Android design elements. I guess it’s especially for those people who want the old notification drawer design back. 🤷♂️
Downgraded ultrawide and selfie cameras, upgraded SoC, added 15W wireless charging, slightly better battery life, same display bezels as the ones in Zenfone 8 and 9. Pretty underwhelming release to say the least. At least they bumped the security update years to 4 years, but OS upgrades is still at 2 years.
Does it matter tho? I am currently on android 9 and I have yet to find something that dosent work on this version. Longer security updates are much more Important than the os ones.
My friend recommended the brand saying he never had a problem with it and it was as fast as the day he got it. My wife got one because her Pixel 3 died (apparently a relatively common thing for that model). Then after my wife got one my friend started complaining about his phone and my wife didn’t like her new phone. Then he got a pixel lol. Then I got one. It’s a nice phone. The Pixel 3 was my wife’s favorite before it died. So 2 years later we ditched the one plus for a new Pixel for her.
It seems like one plus used to be a good brand and maybe my friend had some loyalty still or his phone coincidentally started to slow down right after he recommended it lol
Jerboa for now. The other ones I’ve tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.
