Good point but people have been driving to and from the outback long before the arrival of the connected car. Except the car, nothing else has changed much and it’s still possible to drive around with a “basic” car. Besides, there’s always the mobile phone if connectivity is required.

Consider the possibility that they are selling the data collected from you for a profit and using part of those profits to pay for the cellular service.

Any recommendations on which DLCs to get?

And most other manufacturers too for following the stupid decision to remove the headphone jack.

OMG. I recall playing a Tarminator game in the 90s but was too young to care about the developer. TIL that it was made by Bethesda.

We need a Command & Conquer Remastered style treatment.

Am using a Zenfone 8 with a jack. As for future upgrade, still unsure. My top priority would be the size - has to be the same or preferably smaller than the Zenfone, so that limits my potential options.

I was travelling recently and was fortunate to be able to watch a F1 race. The track had a FM broadcast of the commentary in English, and my Zenfone 8 with the built in FM tuner made itself very useful indeed, since the FM tuner only works with wired earphones.

Tipping is like paying for DLC / microtransactionw but not getting anything out of it.

Yeah… NAH!

Yes, they may or may not launch the normal version. Then again, it’s only April. One can still hope. 👍

Manufacturers killed that word so no one can make fun of it. 🤣🤦‍♂️

Hopefully they’ll continue selling “compact” phones. Heck, I’m guessing there will be people who will be happy if Asus releases a compact phone every alternate year.

Right now, an Asus Zenfone 8. Been using it for a year and a half. Before that, a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact which I used for almost 5 years. 😅

Another phablet sized phone. It’ll be a pass for me.

I still have the CD. Getting it to run might be the tricky part. :p

I enjoyed Uplink as well.

Civilization 4, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White just to name a few. See you next year. :p

I wish Sony will bring back the XZ1C but with updated internals. Everything else can remain, even the 720p screen.

The fact that there exists a solution to protect against accidental edge touch means that having the digitiser/screen all the way to the edge of the device is a flaw in the design. 🤣

I find for me it is half about the usability of thw phone one handed and the other half being pocketability. I don’t want to have to carry a man-purse just to be able to have my phone with me at all times. Front pocket of jeans is where i keep my phone and the pockets are not deep enough to contain the phone without pressing into my hips when i sit. Keeping the phone in the back pocket is just inviting theft.

I just want another Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated specifications.

This was brought up before and someone posted a rather extensive list of online services.
