Pasta Has NO LIMITS

Im on my second samsung galaxy since switching from iphone a few years ago. Never going back. Loving Android. Currently on a refurbished galaxy s21 that was a couple years old when i bought it (cost me around £250) and it runs like a dream. Battery life is grand.

If the showcase is bad like the previous one, it only helps Microsoft’s momentum.

probably a lot of cgi trailers too

It really depends what’s important to you. I really dont know your budget, but I would only buy Samsung or Google Android Smartphones because of their update policy.

For Samsung it’s something like 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security update. Google should be on year less.

And for battery drain it’s more on the SoC than Android.

Both the Google Pixel 7a and the Samsung A54g should be around €400-450.

You could always pay more, but most of the time it’s for the camera and a better SoC.

Now let’s see how much smaller it really is. Price will be important too. Would not surprise me if they give this a very attractive price. Spidey is soon, and I bet they want to give people a reason to get that PS. That’s when MS should give XSX or S a price cut too, making that Starfield even more attractive.

Exactly. Anything truly big they would have kept for the actual showcase they had a month or two ago or so. But I’m sure ponies are gonna expect that showcase part 2. :joy:

I switched to Android (LG) 3 years ago and won’t go back to an iPhone. The OS is great and not as complex as the online discourse says. Plus, as I prefer to buy my phones outright, I found that you can easily save quite a bit of money buying an Android that has the same features as an iPhone.

I don’t like the Tensor 2 chip, I’ve heard Pixel 7has had nothing but battery drain issues since launch. A reason I’m lookin at the Motorola Edge Plus 2023 is because it’s got near stock android and fantastic specs for $700. My first smartphone was the Moto X back in 2013 and I loved Moto Actions, twisting for the camera was great. As for Samsung phones, I’m not a fan of One UI. Same with OnePlus’s Color OS.

I don’t even like the iPhone Home Screen or how iOS deals with notifications,I have an iPhone because the camera quality and SoC at the time were fantastic. As time pushed onward I got pushed more into apples walled garden and got ebay deals on the Apple Watch Series 5 and the iPad mini. Then about 2 years ago I got a MacBook Air m1 on the Apple refurbished store, a fantastic laptop. iMessage is handy to stay in touch with my family and girlfriend.

I haven’t bought a phone on contract since the basic phone days on Verizon. Granted I’m 24, so back then I wasn’t paying for my phone. LG cosmos was my first phone.

I would look into the update policy of Motorola. Most of time it’s just 2 years and 3 years security updates.

Motorola was owned by Google in 2013 and now is owned by Lenovo.

You could always get a launcher on the play store.

I usually stick with Samsung and i like android because i can sideload apps like an anime app to watch and manga app or to not watch ads on youtube

Exoprimal is certainly a game.

:grimacing:

Thank you. That comparison is very necessary.

I don’t know what it about Starfield, but I feel it being exclusive is making these outlets make clickbait headlines. I don’t think anybody was comparing this game to Starfield. I feel like many are trying to downplay Starfield. For example comparing Baldur’s Gate 3 to Starfield is doing Larian a disservice.

And that comparison was necessary because…? It’s just silly.

The planets in Star Wars Outlaws will be hand-crafted rather than procedurally generated, and equivalent in size to two ā€œzonesā€ in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.

Guess what, Starfield will have plenty of that too. Man Starfield sure got people overall feeling and acting a kind of way.

Plus they literally talk about Starfield in one sentence in this whole article, yet the title had to have it in it. :joy:
