“Only”? the last two releases doesn’t bode well for the next release. And the whole point would be to have flagship specs and custom ROMs. Releases older than two years don’t have flagship specs anymore.

Right, but Sony doesn’t unlock their bootloader (on US devices) anymore.

Am I missing something? In the US I can’t buy the 1V and get the bootloader unlocked by Sony. Or did that change?

The hardware of Sony phones has been so attractive over the years. I had the Z3 & XZ1 years ago and they were great.

However, the software is lacking. They don’t commit to long term OS/security updates.

The price is also far too high for just a slab.

This means that there are no ROMs that support recent flagship Sony devices.

Honestly they don’t have to lower the price. If they just opened up the software I would make the jump.

I’m holding onto the OnePlus 7 Pro for dear life because newer devices feel like such a compromise; great hardware and software is locked down to hinder ROM development or great ROM support and weak hardware.

From a practical sense, they don’t. The IDF has a history of protecting violent settlers who attack Palestinians and will attack those Palestinians if they try to defend themselves.

The US would absolutely not send defensive weapons to Palestinians. The US government is too close to the Israeli government.

Even at this moment the US says they don’t approve of how Israel is waging this war, while they’re using weapons the US sent them…

No Armored Core Fires of Rubicon?

This isn’t a ‘From Software’ List, it’s a ‘Souls Games’ List.

Hopefully they’re just piggybacking in top of an existing protocol like Matrix.

Wouldn’t make much sense to build one from the ground up and it only communicated with other LM users

I don’t know about all banking apps, but the Bank of America app works just fine.

If you’re only problem with your current phone is the battery, maybe look into replacing the battery.

Either DIY or bring it to a reputable repair shop.

I just replaced the battery of my OnePlus 7 Pro (and a backup OnePlus 7 Pro also) myself. Was a lot easier than I thought and now the battery life is great again.

The SD865 in it is more than capable to tackle anything I do (no heavy gaming or other resource heavy tasks) so instead of spending $800+ on a new phone I spent $25 on a battery.

I’m also running a custom ROM (crDroid) so I don’t have FOMO on the latest software.

If this has all the US bands I’d be all over it.

Not the prettiest, but it doesn’t have a hole punch and no camera bumps.

The RGB could go, too. Maybe that can be turned off?

“Guilty” in the title made it seem like there was some kind of legal repercussion.

Instead it was just a story about an everyday occurrence of IT dealing with idiots.

How is this worthy of an article? I feel like I wasted my life reading this.

I’ve had the Oneplus 7 Pro since it came out, which is a rebranded Xiaomi 9T Pro.

I feel like we’ve had several posts like this lately.

I loved the notification LED on my Xperia XZ1, Nexus 5X, and basically all older Android phones.

Ideally I’d like to see an LED along a corner so that regardless of placing the phone face up or down, you can still see the LED.

Google and Nothing phones have punch holes.

I’m not familiar with Motorola’s lineup. What phone do they have without a punch hole?

I love Sony phones but I don’t see active ROMs for the Xperia 1 or 5 series.

I’m not familiar with Xiaomi. They have a flagship without a hole punch?
