Weekend activities! (old thread reanimated)

I pre ordered it and traded in my S10+ so I ended up paying around $750 or so. So far so good! :heart_eyes:

I donā€™t have an opinion but Iā€™m hearing some arguments along this, if you donā€™t want to watch it, basically it says a year or so from now, folding phones will be better and these phablets then niched out.

Enjoy your new gadget, I have a 8.4" phone and a 6" phone so Iā€™m just playing open-minded.

Thanks!!

I still a couple of old phones laying around just in case I need a back up, I wouldnā€™t get a lot of credit, if any, so I keep them in case of emergency.

Keep your eyes peeled for the iPhone 12

Thatā€™s what I thought, but cheaper than the Apple alternative by nearly Ā£300 @ikari04warrior
Iā€™ve been loving the S20+ and think having a matching tablet would work well together, and also let me load up an SD card with plenty of movies.

I watched a few minutes of the video and I do agree with him. They should merge the S and Note series and release that phone around March, and then release the Fold in August.

And include the Spen with the Fold, it would make more sense since you are getting a bigger area to write on.

I will probably wait 2 more years before I get a foldable phone, Iā€™m still on the fence since last yearā€™s fiasco

Iā€™ve always said if iPhones had an micro SD card tray and was a bit more flexible when it comes to using apps I would at least try an iPhone.

I have enough old phones and alternate devices I can wait til my main phone (OnePlus 6) actually breaks and then decide, so right now Iā€™m open minded radar up looking. If it broke today Iā€™d probably get a Pixel 4A.

Now in August Iā€™m very much into just a small phone and no pocket weight, but once in October, I find Iā€™m wearing jackets and so fit a bigger phone. Very seasonal.

I spent today walking and biking, with a 2 year old phone and a 4 year old Powercore and an Amazon basics cable. Oops. :blush:

Do you have a case on your phone? You sound like you take care of your electronics so you will probably keep it for a while (nothing wrong with it of course)

Hope you all are safe there and smoke isnā€™t too bad (safety wise since not good to breathe in it)

Yes it is the pre-installed case OnePlus bundle, still fitted, still works. This phone has had one of the most intense difficult existences, it has flown in total 4 times around the planet, about 80 different hotels and has been in my back cycling pocket about 20,000 miles. Poor thing. I suspect the sweat is rusting the antennas as it is losing now its LTE signal, after BT and Wifi issues. Iā€™m waiting for a final last breath from it.

Things are ok for the moment, though there is an alert, air quality is currently Yellow/Moderate. The forecast for tomorrow looks bad, Orange/Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.

We will be indoors for most part, had previously planned for some drives through SF, now stands cancelled

Yea good choice honestly. Rather enjoy some quality time with kids at home and be safe

Hey @ikari04warrior
I did actually love my iPhone and wish the 11 Pro lived up to its hype, but for me it didnā€™t.
I donā€™t regret making a change though, its good too once in a while plus it made getting a new phone really feel like it was a new phone :+1:t2:

Would fit to my MAC collection : Very old IPAD, I still use.
No more apps available for this IPAD.
But I got Gmail and Kindle.
So I check emails in vacations and do reading at home.
Got 32gb, thatā€™s great for neanderthalean equipment! :rofl:

Hey everyone, hope your having a great weekend so far!

For us it been quite a chilled weekend.
Walk at the coast yesterday (7miles)

And today, so far, a bike ride (11miles) saw a wonky donkey and a stop at the park as Charlie still had some energy.

As for this afternoon, who knows but it involve a chicken roast dinner :+1:t2:
