Previously on Lemmy: Productivity

I’ve actually been pretty busy IRL recently, and my schedule on this has really been slipping, so, probably no more big writeups until things slow down. I’ll probably move the discussion to a biweekly schedule, but no promises.

Not that much experience with Asus phone on my part, I know they use to use Intel processors until they suddenly stopped.

The new Zenfone 10 looks nice, and the ROG Phones are a bit overkill, but still very interesting spec wise.

    Their selling point now seems to be that they make small flagships, which is cool, I guess. Could use more of them in the Android space. But their promised support period (maybe 2,3 years?) and the whole thing with their bootloader unlock leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    Typing this on my ZenFone 10. I like the size, speed and battery life. The cameras are fine for my use. Though lacking telephoto might be an issue for some. And the 3.5mm jack is a nice addition. Got the 256gb version so plenty of space for music, videos and photos. I like the fairly clean Android with some useful Asus additions and the regular updates. All in all I’m satisfied.

    I don’t mind the lack of an unlockable bootloader, and I’m a happy customer. I’ve used my Zenfone 10 for about 3 months, will continue to use for at least 5 years.

    Using a Zenfone 8. I like that they are keeping the 3.5mm plug. I don’t use it very often but it is nice to know i have a backup. I still have the bundled earbuds from old phones in my bag as spare.

    Having upgraded from a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, I would have preferred another phone with the same physical dimensions but we all know that’s not possible. It is a nice screen, no doubt about it but I prefer pocketability and useability over a nice screen.

    I was initially a bit apprehensive after reading all the reports about the ramdump issue but it seems to have been blown out of proportion?

    I think ASUS should stop making phone and stick to what they are good at. Which is making laptops
