The camera should be better. But, what midrange smartphones still provide a headphone Jack? I have all but seen it disappear alongside fading sdcard support.

Sony sells their smartphones in limited markets only. Mine is not one.

Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI).

Basically, they still support it. But, won't provide a GKI. So, vendors will need to do more work if they intend to run android on a RISC-v CPU.

They always remained in the phone business in limited capacity.

limerod OP ,

Yeah, they could've bought this in 2020. Even the budget smartphones were strong enough to do this.

limerod OP ,

This is for app installs not updates.

limerod OP ,

It takes ages updating apps one by one. Your smartphone is capable enough to download and update multiple apps simultaneously speeding the install process significantly.

Edit: just downloads for now and hopefully updates in the future

limerod OP ,

But, it is efficient. If I download 2 or 3 large apps they get downloaded simultaneously and the lowest size app gets installed 1st. Meanwhile, previously it had to wait until one app was downloaded then wait to install them one by one. Which would be as much as 3 times slow.

Periscope is a type of zoom lens that has been used in smartphones for a while. Here's an android police article on the subject: https://www.androidpolice.com/how-periscope-cameras-work/

The backplate would be the only one made out of wood. It should also have some form of coating to make sure it doesn't get damaged easily. But, prolonged use can damage it like any other smartphone or perhaps more.

Unless, you plan on submerging or washing it on a daily basis. It should be fine.

limerod OP ,

Are they official ones not available?
