Physically, the phone is the same as the consumer version. There is a difference in software and support that makes deploying this phone to employees and helping them out when something goes wrong is easier.

First off, the phone comes with an extended 3-year warranty. Also, the usual 3 years of security patches have been extended to 5 years to ensure that company data is kept safe. The phone will still only receive 2 years of OS updates, though.

But if your company has staff with a skilled hand in electronics, some repairs can be done in-house with tools and instructions provided by iFixit. The HMD Repair Hub on ifixit.com offers replacement batteries (€20), charging ports (€15), back panels (€3) and even displays (€40) at very reasonable prices. Basically, the things most likely to break can be replaced in-house. And the battery is rated to maintain at least 80% of its original 5,000mAh capacity after 800 charge cycles, so it will be a few years before normal wear and tear makes a battery swap necessary

Interesting, it appears they archived the github repos on may 19th after that tweet.

More ironic about them wiping your data considering they credit other ROMs!

TL;DR

  • Google appears to be working on an updated version of Google Lens.
  • A new flag, “Lens Circle to Search,” was discovered in Chrome for iOS.
  • This won’t be the same system-wide integration we see on Android.

This is old news, 5 months old. I thought they meant more manufacturers apart from google and samsung.

The newer Sony phones have improved software support of 3 OS & 4 years of security updates.

A Weibo tipster states the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will launch with an Adreno 830 GPU clocked at 935 MHz. The SoC's P-cores will have a peak clock of 4.2 GHz and the other six cores will max out at 2.6 GHz.

For starters, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will launch with an Adreno 830 GPU clocked at 935 MHz. This is more or less identical to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's Adreno 750 (~950 MHz). However, the Adreno 830 is slated to deliver Apple M2-levels of performance in a smartphone form factor, which is nothing short of impressive.

I checked the specs against the dimensity 8200 and there appeared to be absolutely no changes. So, basically the same chip as before like the dimensity 920-1080-7050 series SoC.

Niagara launcher, kiss or kvaesto are the way to go. If you want a decent app search. I would also recommend Smart Launcher 6; the search bar is pretty good. Not to mention the automatic app categories you get for all your apps.

In colorOS smartphones. The default launcher shows ads when you use their search function. Fortunately, this special search can be disabled.

He probably meant to say Open Source operating system.

Something like samsung Dex on regular android?

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

Hmm, but the new pixel 8 series do support display output over USB type-C after the March update.

I was giving an example about device improvements. The durability will continue to improve as tech moves forward.

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

With time that will change. It's like the 1st smartphones in the world. Not the best experience at 1st. But, now we have phones with processing power equal to desktops and the ability to do productive tasks on the go.

Yeah, this would be the main. There was a time when VLC had blacklisted huawei phones from installing their app on the Playstore when they had enough with the negative reviews.
