Nice review. For $359 it's been a great pickup. Software is a little inconsistent. For instance the blue tooth connection won't auto connect to my tic watch pro 5. Have to go into the settings. Sometimes the touch response just fails as well The speaker phone is surprisingly quiet despite the speakers being very loud for media Cameras aren't bad. Digital zoom isn't up to snuff compared to my Pixel 7 but the selfie actually does a pretty good job. Low light shots are ok as well but again not as sharp as the Pixel. PRO MODE produces some very good shots if you're into that Nice panel and it has the flicker protection and extra dimming for night time eye comfort. This nobody talks about. The fast charging is a breath of fresh air. Gaming is very good and can't complain about anything in that realm. Updates have been coming frequently. This is a really tough phone and surprisingly light and pocketable at 188 grams. Battery lasts for ages even set on 144 hz refresh I

The Ready For desktop mode running directly from the phone to a monitor (not to a PC) is the best way to go. Full desktop experience up to 4K resolution. Better even than Samsung DeX.

You got a Like because of the cat video at the end LOL. (otherwise I might have forgotten to hit that button) I do have a question. I am still using a Galaxy Note 8 which I have kept as I am on an Aldi Mobile family plan, so no 5G as yet. How would the camera compare to that? I want something that is point & click and gets good photos. I occasionally use the zoom so that may be an issue. No super long videos. I like the style of the thinkphone, but maybe the camera is not quite good enough?
@AlexKidman Жыл бұрын
Hmm. I don't have a Note 8 any more to directly compare, and it is a slightly older phone. That being said, Samsung's generally better than most in the camera space, especially for its flagship phones. I think you'd ultimately find it a slight downgrade especially for zoom shots. What you could consider might be one of the newer Galaxy S phones (like maybe an S22 Ultra, which you might be able to snaffle for similar pricing as it's older, while still keeping the Stylus, for example).

@@AlexKidman cheers. Not a bad option as I had not considered that. (even refurbished) My perfect phone is dual sim, 3.5 mm jack, good camera, and preferably no large edge curves. A new Sony Xperia 1 V would be nice, but expensive and would have to be a grey import.
@AlexKidman Жыл бұрын
@@dumbo3200 Yeah, Sony's sorely missed in the market -- but basically nobody was buying their phones, so it's understandable why they (quietly) withdrew. I'd be wary of grey importing a phone not sold here; repairs would be a *nightmare*.

@@chrish4634 I personally wouldn't upgrade that soon unless there's a serious problem with the phone (and then I'd be looking at warranties etc in the first place); can't speak to the 30 Ultra battery life (I only got to to test the regular 30 of that generation) for comparative purposes against the thinkphone.

That'd be around $620 or so -- maybe a tad more with taxes on board -- here in Australia. And at that price, it'd be a very decent buy!

one thing i don’t understand is the Tik Tok ban when Lenovo sells the corporate hardware that drives most governments & their consultants.

Firstly, my apologies if I misunderstand your question -- I don't speak Greek so I'm relying on Google translate for this one. But it should get Android 15 -- Motorola's promise was for 3 OS upgrades I believe, so that should see it through to Android 16. Whether that would last you 5-7 years -- well beyond Android 15 -- is a bit more open as a question, though it's less common for phones to lose full Google Play access; it's just that if apps have minimum requirements it might not meet them at some future date.
