Samsung selling refurb Galaxy Note 7's

The S4, watching her eyes using its Smart Pause feature, halted video playback while she took in the view. http://mashable.com/2013/03/14/stran...alaxy-s-4-laun ch-event/ The video is private, but reading the article and the comments, it looks like there's plenty to laugh about - everything from the marketing flakes to the PC scolds. Overall, though, it seems like a bit much for a cell phone. It's not like the second coming... be careful for what you wish for. the link in the article is dead, but there are others on youtube. here's one, starting at the 'show': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLmOEVijYOQ&t=28m50s i also forgot about the battery factory fi https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...g-plant-fire-f aulty-batteries-galaxy-note-7-battery-supplier ŚMinorą fire at Galaxy Note 7 battery supplierąs Tianjin plant saw 110 firefighters and 19 trucks sent to put out blaze, according to emergency services But they make nice phones, especially if you want yours to double as a hand warmer... the s8 looks interesting, but has a couple of wtfs, such as putting the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone (a wtf by itself), but also to one side of the camera lens, a big **** you to lefties, as well as guaranteeing that people are going to smudge up the lens trying to unlock the phone. another wtf is that it will ship with android 7.0, not the latest, 7.1.1. who knows when (if) it will get 'o'. If you want worse WTF, Lenovo seems to abandon their devices pretty quickly. I bought one of their tablets, and it remains at Android 5 - the version it came with, and will never be updated. Lots of complaints on the forums, lots of ignoring them from Lenovo. I'm done with them. it's not just lenovo. in general, android devices are typically updated only for about 1-2 years. device makers want to sell you a new device. nougat is on a whopping ~3% of devices, while ios 10 is on about 80% of devices, both having been released around the same time. https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/ |
