You forgot to mention other advantages of the Fairphone. Easy repairs, spare parts, ethical sourcing and fair wages to the ones who make Fairphone.

Unciv, HyperRogue. HyperRogue can be addictive but difficult if you stay in one region.

Unciv is an open source 4X civilization game.

It's not on Play (Google rejected the accessibility use), so it's an APK from GitHub releases, built by GitHub Actions from the source.

Did you explain its use as an accessibility aid being its core feature for differently abled people? If you have explained that as a core feature google could've budged. You would've needed to limit the API to select few like OpenAI, Gemini, Claude with additional guardrails and use reporting. But, it could've been accepted by google.

When did google refuse to fix the vulnerability? It was fixed in october security update. If you didn't get it. It's on your phone manufacturer, not google for not fixing the issue.

There is no APK. You have to build the apk to do anything of use.

Apps using system webview are already mitigated. Apps using system HTTPS connection protocols and SSL libraries are also mitigated. Now, for some apps which ship and use their own SSL library and do not use google safe browsing or update the cert list online they could be vulnerable.

All major browsers have already updated to not trust their SSL certificate. It should show an error on all major browsers.

The base was already colorOS but there were slight differences and they didn't write colorOS. But now, the whole software is done by oppo devs without changes from oneplus and they write ColorOS.

News pixels starting with 11, even that's not a plus point. GOS is instead launching a phone in partnership with motorola.

Yeah, just like there were no issues with 810, or 8 gen 1. It's all rumours and speculation.

You're comparing X6 pro with today's X8 in the RAM and storage inflation era. It's not going to be a valid comparison.

Pros

• bright 120 Hz AMOLED display

• very long battery life

• 67-watt fast charging

• rugged with IP69K protection

• six years of security updates

• affordable price

Cons

• poor performance

• poor camera quality in low light

• no ultra-wide-angle camera

• slow Wi-Fi and USB

• no eSIM support or microSD slot

• ads in the operating system

• PWM flickering

One game alone takes 36-40GB these days. 128GB is not enough even for my non-tech savvy mom. Pictures, videos and that easily gets full.

Here's the list found from their support site:

TL;DR

• Samsung is reportedly considering using an Exynos 2700 on the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

• Samsung’s internal testing shows the newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 runs too hot and throttles.

• Both companies are working on solving these issues, but the schedule is tight.

Qualcomm also reached out to the website. Hopefully, its not a repeat of 810 and 8 gen 1.

Update, October 16, 2026 (5:51 PM ET): Unsurprisingly, Qualcomm has taken issue with the Seoul Economic Daily’s report, and does not believe that its chips are experiencing the performance issues described within. A company spokesperson has reached out to Android Authority with a statement:

Recent reporting about thermal issues related to Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is inaccurate. We are proud of the innovation and strong momentum behind our next-generation flagship platform and continue to work closely with global OEMs to deliver premium user experiences.

It can remove it for the current user. But, since the malware is embedded in the firmware it may get re-installed under a different name.

If you want to be absolutely certain. Try waiting. Or see if there's a way to disable the 2nd display feature while using the bank app.

Its installing apps on the device you own. Don't fall for the terminology being used by those taking away your freedom.

People sensitive to PWM get headaches when looking at PWM screens. Screens which use DC dimming do not rapidly flicker the display to reduce screen brightness.

You can read more by searching the web. Just search DC dimming and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) screens or display.

I am not really a massive smartwatch fanatic. I use a Garmin Fenix 7 and have done for a few years. However, something with the Google Pixel Watch 5 has me seriously impressed for a watch that doesn't look like it should be such a powerhouse. Aside from the design that I wish was more traditional in style, this is probably the best smart watch you can buy right now. This is my Google Pixel Watch 5 review.
