All of my mom's previous cell phones that she still owns. Remember back when service providers would stamp their logo on your phone? what cruelty was that? just another reminder that you were locked into their contract I guess.

my first phone was a samsung flip phone, my 2nd was a slide phone (oval/horizontal), and my 3rd was also a slide phone (vertical). i used those phones until they were on their last legs, or until my father decided it was time to upgrade the family's phones. the vertical slide phone was blue and i loved it dearly, it was probably my favorite pre-smartphone and i still have a ton of pictures in its memory that i wasn't able to move onto a card before the keyboard on it quit working and rendered the phone unable to be used....i wish i knew if it was feasible to like, rescue the memory on it bc it's the only remaining electronic device that has photos and videos of my childhood dog on it....and highschool photos of me ofc but those are less important.
my first smartphone was an iphone 4s and no joke i used that phone until it bricked itself/reached obsolescence. had a great time with it. i miss her but i'm never going to get an apple phone ever again. my 2nd smartphone was a samsung uhhh lg6 that i got in 2015, and up until last year it worked great. then i dropped it in the (flushed) toilet at work and had to get a new one (it still works but it's markedly slower and finicky to deal with). thanks to my gf for my life cuz i was able to get a new one on their plan >.>;;;;;; and my current phone is a samsung galaxy s22. HOPEFULLY this one will last at least 3-4 more years. i need to buy a new case for it on my next paycheck bc the current case has taken a Beating thanks to me dropping it a lot at work >.<;;

➙ genre. best friend’s brother au. university au. working au. fwb au. 
➙ word. 5k
➙ warnings. explicit content, reader coming onto seokjin who’s still hung up about how he watched over her and his little brother, taehyung, all these years, they’re six years apart, fingering, rimming.
➙ index. 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | finale | side story 1 |
➙ synopsis. you’re a horny bunny yet kim seokjin always seems to manage to slide out of your grasps like a fox every time.
follow these two as they embark on a sexual adventure whilst keeping their relationship on the low from kim taehyung who may or may not just pull out the (your) best friend and (seokjin’s) brother card to call a time-off on them for good.
➙ note. if you’re used to reading my fics, this one is a little different. it focuses less on healing and more on getting it on w your best friend’s brother ykwim.
also, if you’re not okay with the age gap or the nature of their dynamic, keep it to yourself. block and don’t engage. much love x

“i watched you grow up!” seokjin shouts right in your face as he leans so far back against the counter, you thought his back would break.
“exactly,” a suggestive smirk curls on your lips as you lean your breasts against him, making sure the angle allows him to have an eyeful of your voluptuous slopes, “i’m grown now.”
but your words seem to have snapped him out of your wonderful spell, eyes going round with realization, “you’re nineteen!”
“and,” your finger teasingly travel up from his chest and a few inches above dip of his collarbone where the protrusion of his adam’s apple dips and stops at, “legal.”
“taehyung will kill me,” he reasons, large, secure hand wrapping around your wrist before he holds it away from his throat.
“only if he knows,” your free hand caresses the noticeable protrusion in his pants that’s pressing deliciously against your stomach.
seokjin’s mouth opens and closes twice but no words come out. and he’s not exactly making any moves to hold your teasing hand away from his boner.
“please, seokjin?” with a voice as sweet as angel’s and a tilt of head just in the right angle, you give him your best puppy eye, “i can’t take it anymore, after i saw how hung you were last month when i accidentally walked in on you in the bathroom... you’re all i think about - and you weren’t even hard back then!” you giggle when his hand finally captures yours when you try to pull down the zipper of his pants.
seokjin’s lush lips glisten from his tongue swiping out to wet them - you may not have spent as much time with him than with his brother but you know that whenever he does that little tongue thing and seem to stare off into nothing in particular - it’s because he’s heavily considering the possibility of delving into whatever that had his head occupied.
but before he can even say a word, the sound of keys jiggling from the other side of the door echoes into the space where you’d trapped him, in the middle of twirling around with a newly filled glass of water. you’d easily took the glass out of his hand, noting the way he arched a brow but silently watched as you placed it on the counter next to him before you boxed him between you and the counter.
“...that’s why i’m telling you! we need more cheese!” taehyung walks in with two bags of groceries, head craned towards his elder brother and middle child of the kims - namjoon who only shakes his head at the younger boy’s antics.
“we already bought three packets of cheese,” by the time namjoon’s pointing out the unbelievable bought, you’re already helping taehyung get the backs off his hands and placing them on the counter across where seokjin stands, front facing the counter, boner hidden underneath and hand gripping the poor glass until his knuckles turn white.
“oh my god, spicy carbonara ramen!” you squeal, finding out the signature light pink packet before setting that aside - you don’t trust anyone in this house to not steal your food unless you keep it safe in your room.
“you’re too obsessed with that thing,” taehyung asserts from next to you, sitting on one of the stools, eating out of the bag of cheese-flavored chips.
“uh-huh, maybe if seokjin or namjoon says that, i’d take it more seriously,” you don’t miss the way the eldest brother’s eyes sweeps up to you in an automatic response to his name.
to anyone else, your smile would look as if you’re sharing the same humor for teasing taehyung.
“uh, i’m like the boss of moderation,” taehyung waves a dismissive hand.
“the three packets of cheese in the fridge disagrees,” you twirl around, stealing the bag out of his grasp and leaning against the counter as you place one chip into your mouth.
you notice seokjin padding towards the hallway where the rooms are and somewhere at the end, lies the infamous bathroom you speak of that changed your life forever.
x
the kims and your family have known each other for years. having been next door neighbors, it’s almost inevitable that you’d be best friends with the same-age, truck toy-wielding boy. your parents didn’t need to worry when they didn’t find you in your room - they could just ring up the kims’ and ask if their daughter were over without telling them which, most of the time, was the case.
you didn’t get to hang out at school because you went to an all-girls school and taehyung and his brothers went to a co-ed school. seokjin was the kinder but still fun to hang out with brother but wasn’t around most times. he was already in high school when you were in elementary - had his own set of friends, joined robotics for the entirety of his high school career which made him immesurably busy. namjoon’s alright but he’s more quiet and also somehow managed to get you and taehyung to do your homeworks even though you initially came over to get away from your parents nagging you to do said homework.
you should’ve seen that diplomatic but persuasive nature of his would have landed him a job in one of the biggest firms in seoul. seokjin took on a much different route, choosing to work for samsung’s sister company that specialized in r&d-ing micro-everything that goes into the phone - which is also in seoul.
you and taehyung got into the same university but the different in majors yet again obstruct you from hanging out whenever you wanted to which was why you were almost always around in the weekend at the kim brothers’ shared apartment. that meant sacrificing your back, sleeping on the thinly layered futon taehyung bought for you on sale because he finally took pity on your sleeping on the couch and suffering from back pains every morning (they were exaggerated and taehyung knew but you guessed his guilty conscience got the best of him).
“what? so your girlfriend found out i’ve been crashing at your place and she wants you to choose between me and her?” you’re in front of the laptop (they don’t have a tv) in the living room, eating a bowl of ramen while taehyung has his cheesy burrito, the movie freezing in the screen before you turn to him with the most, you’d say, nasty frown.
“i mean - she just said a girl and a guy shouldn’t be sleeping together in a room regardless if one’s on the bed and the other’s on the floor,” taehyung’s avoiding your eyes and that’s how you know he’s actually debating following that snobbish little bitch’s instructions.
now, you don’t call just anyone a bitch but when you do, she’s on your ‘don’t fuck with’ list.
“do you see my girlfriend complaining about us sharing a room when me and her were dating?” you point out in a matter of factly.
“th-this and that are two different things!” taehyung slams the burrito onto the plate in his lap and slams said plate onto the coffee table.
you say slam but it’s really possibly just a tad bit aggressive than what taehyung’s like usually.
“how is it different?” the bowl of ramen clicks sharply when you place it on the coffee table too.
“i-it just is,” taehyung shrugs.
“i can’t believe you’re choosing some bimbo over me!” hand over your chest, you look at him dramatically, jaw hanging loose and eyes accusing.
“you’ve been sleeping in the living room before i got the futon. it’ll just be like one of those days, you know what i mean?” he shrugs - or at least attempts to look casual about it.
“look at this place! it’s not even big enough to fit the futon,” hands flailing, you gesture towards the minimal space on the floor.
“it’s fine, we can move the coffee table somewhere-” taehyung still tries but you’re already vexed-marching towards the hallway with your bowl of ramen without another word.
to just about anyone, it would’ve been obvious that you’ve had it with your best friend. but taehyung being taehyung is probably desensitized to your anger fits because this time, he does sound casual when he shouts, “what about the movie? can i continue watching without you?”
“do whatever you want!” you shout back before slamming the door behind you.
it takes you a moment to gather yourself before you notice the heat of a pair of eyes on you from all the way across the room. seokjin lies in bed with his laptop on his lap, pillows elevating his upper body. he’s staring at you with arched brows and cute naturally puckered lips.
“oh, don’t mind me. i just had a fight with taehyung and i can’t stand to see him right now,” you say, walking over to the vacant table and chair, “do you mind if i finish my ramen here?”
“be my guest,” before he even lifts his hand from the laptop to gesture towards said desk, you’re already plopping down with a “thanks!”
soon enough, the tapping sound of his keyboard fills the otherwise silent room. you don’t know how long time’s passed but you’ve already finished your ramen and scrolling through instagram on your phone when you see seokjin’s latest post.
he’s sitting in a cafe, dressed in a denim jacket over a white turtle neck with a cap casting shadow over his eyes. the angle he has head head lowered makes it all the more difficult to see his expression. only his soft kissable lips are visible.
so you double tap on the picture before going into gallery and scrolling through your own pic. there’s one with you standing in front of a brick wall, clad in all black, bringing out your colorful eye makeup in conjunction with pride month. the way you’re standing accentuates your curve, bringing attention to your hips after the beholder would be done with admiring the emotions in your eyes.
you have taehyung to thank for that picture but you’re not about to tag him for credit because you haven’t really forgave him. he’s on his phone since it dinged with a notification, probably from you liking his picture. but he hasn’t even looked at you once throughout the course of that and you posting a new picture.
relentless, open up snapchat, posing for a picture and making sure the frame captures the sight of your perked breasts as you stick the tip of your tongue out, smirking and biting on it ever so gently.
with a caption of ‘don’t have a bedroom to sleep in tonight, can i sleep in urs, ggukie-yah?’
it takes a second and a half for him to set his phone down... and go back to his laptop. the tapping sound continues without even the slightest hiccup to it - and he’s already opened your snap.
so with that, you stand up, pick up your bowl, making sure to stand in a way that makes your hips more curved and breasts more defined, “well, i guess i need to get out of here since taehyung’s jealous ass girlfriend doesn’t want me sleeping in his room.”
“hm?” his brows raises at that, “you’re leaving? but it’s night time.”
your dorm is at least half an hour away and it’s too expensive by grab - you usually go back on monday with taehyung since he has a car. but since you’re not on speaking terms, both you and seokjin know that even if the youngest brother offers to drive you back - you’d straight out refuse him. would probably even say something along the lines of your friendship being over and that he has no obligations to ensure you return safely. all of it’s gotta be dramatic though. maybe add in crocodile tears.
“i’d probably stay over at a friend’s at least he’ll lend me his bed to sleep in, unlike your woman-choosing brother.” when your hand is on the handle, seokjin stops you.
“this friend... is it ‘gukkie-yah’?” and there goes the fish biting the bait.
“how did you know?” you’d like to think your tilted head and confused, drawn together eyebrows are convincing enough.
“you mistook me for him... i got your snap which was probably meant for him,” he waves his darkened phone screen in the air.
“oh my god, you did?” hand over your mouth, you gasp, “i’m so sorry, that was embarrassing.”
“it’s chill,” he shrugs.
“anyways, i’ll text him on my way there. he usually has no qualms lending a helping hand to a friend in need,” and with that, you twist the doorknob.
“are you guys... close?” the question hits the air with a different kind of tone.
“kinda,” you say, face struggling to stay neutral when you see the way his eyes glint with a dangerous gleam, “we were fwb’s in freshman year before i started dating yoona... might continue where we left off.”
“cool,” is all he says before he goes back to his laptop, the incessant tapping sound echoing throughout the room. not even a glance is spared at you the whole time you slip out of the door and close it behind you.
taehyung’s eyes catch yours for the briefest second and before he can even say anything (he looks like he would’ve said hi like he didn’t just choose his girlfriend over you), you’re holding up a hand, “don’t talk to me. i’m still mad at you for choosing a girl over me.”
as soon as you’re done washing the dishes, you pad back towards the hallway, not even caring that taehyung’s not bothering to get up from his spot or pausing the movie to talk to you - guess you’re both in that stage where you know no matter how mad the other is, they’ll never be mad enough to break the friendship for forever.
either way, if your best friend already exiled you from his room and your crush doesn’t even care about you going over to another boy’s place, you might as well actually go over to said boy’s place.
at least jeongguk’s dick game is good.
“you’re really going?” seokjin’s sillhoutte leans against the door frame whilst you’re stuffing your clothes into a h&m’s paper bag.
“yeah, like, i’m done. i’m not gonna let that bimbo think she won,” you huff while in the middle of shoving your headphones on top of the neatly folded pile.
“you can sleep with me,” as soon as he said those words, you can see panic spread through his face as he quickly adds, “in my room- on the bed- i can sleep on the floor.”
“why can’t we sleep in the same bed?”
his eyes follow the sweater that you were in the middle of folding and discard, tossing it onto taehyung’s bed.
“you and taehyung don’t-” he starts but you’re convulsing in disgust.
“ew,” you manage to hold back your rising bile. so he stays quiet. clad in a creme colored sweater that makes him look cozy and warm, “why’d you think i never complained about sleeping on the couch or on the floor? it’s cause i don’t wanna catch his cooties!”
okay, so maybe that was a lie. taehyung may be cootie-less but you’ve never been the huggy-cuddly kind of best friends. for one, it’s because you both did believe that touching the opposite gender will actually render your whole body spotted with incurable diseases and before you know it, you both were allergic to physical contact with each other at least.
seokjin doesn’t seem to believe so, otherwise he wouldn’t be shaking his head and smiling to himself.
“does that mean we can sleep in the same bed?” you cross the short distance between the bed where you’re standing over and to the door, putting on your best puppy eye.
“sure, why not?” seokjin caves like he always does back then.
you squeal in delight, arms wrapping around his waist as you give him a big hug whilst he freezes under your touch but doesn’t tell you to go away, “eeep, thanks!”
it’s almost as if the incident at the kitchen this afternoon was just a dream.
x
taehyung has tried talking to you - you say talk because no word of apology slipped through his mouth - but you’re having none of it, hiding behind seokjin’s big bro influence, or so you’d like to call it, when he burst through his eldest brother’s door, demanding for his best friend, “i know she’s in here!”
“she is,” seokjin says simply and you’re about to shoot him accusatory looks before he chuckles, “but she doesn’t want to talk to you.”
“____, come on, the squad’s all ready to play,” so that’s what he’s after.
over the years, you and taehyung have gathered your own like-minded people when it comes to video games. you don’t own a personal computer so your laptop suffers for it but the upside is that you get to bring it everywhere and it’s a pretty sturdy, gamer laptop.
“i’m playing here,” you say, laptop already set up on seokjin’s desk, headphones on.
“okay, whatever,” with a roll of his eyes, taehyung closes the door, leaving you and seokjin alone again.
and so it goes, you giving rapt attention to the game and the occasional comments spilling out of your lips when one of you make a dumb mistake or when one of you manage to kill off the enemy team’s avatar until you end up being killed yourself.
“what?” jeongguk - oh, he’s part of the squad - drags out as if he couldn’t belive his eyes.
“that’s cheating, bro,” taehyung’s voice rings in your earphone, “they literally ganged up on ___!”
“shit, shit, shit, shit, we’re gonna lose,” hoseok chants like a mantra.
“no, we’re not gonna lose,” you can just hear jimin rolling his eyes.
“bro, stop capping! we lost our fighter!” hoseok is at a point where he’s shrieking now.
“well, take however-long-it-takes-for-me-to-respawn, i guess,” you say in the middle of them arguing that they still have a hybrid fighter who is jeongguk.
either way, you’re already standing up, stretching your stayed-in-one-position-for-too-long limbs just in time for seokjin to walk in with a towelette draped over his head - you remember him using those cute little printed ones back then to dry his face after he brushed his teeth and cleansed his face. sure enough, he looks as fresh as the air that you’re about to take.
“you’re going to bed?” you ask the obvious.
“yeah, don’t worry, you don’t have to turn off the lights.”
“oh, don’t worry, i’m used to playing in the dark - my eyes are immune,” you wave a dismissive hand.
then he steals a glance at your laptop where your headphone lies next to it, emitting the lowest mumblings from your squad.
“you died?” he asserts - it’s obvious because otherwise, why would you even be talking to him.
“yeah, i think i’m gonna go wash my face now too.”
and with that, you’re out of the door, bursting in taehyung’s and shaking his shoulders to distract him as he reports the act of disturbance you’re comitting to the squad before you leave for the bathroom where your toiletries have made home in the cabinet along with taehyung’s belongings whilst namjoon and seokjin opts for placing theirs on either corners of the sink.
when you’re back, the room is already dark with your laptop being the only thing guiding your steps. there’s a lump underneath the blanket on the left side of the bed and another bright light casting sight on seokjin’s face as he scrolls through his phone.
he doesn’t bat an eye when you climb over, only looking up when it’s too late. thanks to his phone light, you can see how his eyes widen as he gazes at you with a mixture of disbelief and confusion.
you just pecked him on his cheek.
“good night,” and with that, you bound over to your laptop, noting that you’ve already respawned and getting shit talked by your squad for your tardiness and almost being the cause that the whole team was going to lose.
but fifteen minutes in, you make a blunder that causes the whole team to lose, “alright, alright, i don’t think i’m in my zone right now. maybe i’ll hit the sack.”
a chorus of protests erupts through your headphone as jeongguk starts calling you out on uncanny ability to stay up all night playing.
“i’m hitting twenty!” you dramatically moan, “my body doesn’t work like it used to!”
the protests floods in one more time but by then, you’re already saying your goodbyes, making sure to give taehyung a warning not to come bursting into seokjin’s room because he’s already asleep and you don’t want to get kicked out for being the cause his little brother disrupted his sleep to find the best friend he’s housing after she got exiled.
“seokjin?” you whisper into the dark, climbing onto the bed for the second time of the night but this time, you’re on top of the human-sized lump.
when no answer comes from the man, you giggle, “please, i heard your phone shutting off when i was telling the boys i was going to bed- had one headphone over my ear and the other off.”
only then does the man underneath you move, his tone bearing a warning, “taehyung is right across the hallway.”
“shh,” you’re groping blindly, but lady luck deems that you find seokjin’s neck and then his plump lips with ease, “then we better be real quiet.”
unlike this morning, he isn’t as deflective. doesn’t tell you to stop even when you’re grinding directly over him. and boy, is he hung.
“you know,” he lets you pry the sheets off him, kicking it off his feet completely as you take a seat on his hardening self, breasts pressed against his chest as you slowly lay yourself on him, “i was hoping you’d fuck me when i was playing,” his heartbeat is deliciously erratic, “bend me over the desk and fuck me while i talk to my friends like nothing’s happening.”
seokjin’s teeth grazing over your thumb that you use to shush him comes off as a pleasant surprise. your only regret is not letting the laptop stay on so you’d at least be able to see what kind of expression he’d make.
“you might not be able to keep your moans in on your first time with me,” the unadulterated confidence reeking off him is enticing. so ever different from the kim seokjin who’d throw around dad jokes in the house whenever the four of you sit down to have dinner, “none of the ladies i slept with could.”
“is that a challenge?” you don’t pretend to hide your excited tone as you shoot up, eyes searching for a face but all you see is darkness.
but you feel him underneath. you smell his fresh minty breath. you hear his deep breaths. you feel him.
“touch me,” it doesn’t take long for you to find both of his hands after you took off your tanktop and bra, mainly because they’re caressing your ass. all you do is cup them over your exposed breasts.
his hands are larger than jeongguk’s. they swallow your voluptous breasts like they were quarter sized cups. but by god, does he know how to fondle a woman. he teases you, grazing his thumb over your erect nipples ever so gently that you crave for more. it’s no surprise that when his hand snakes behind you and pulls you down, you easily submit.
you’ve always wondered how his lips would feel on you - but you never thought the first thing they’d be on is your nipple. suckling and biting tenderly whilst his hand makes sure your other nipple is kept accompanied.
“ah!” a mixture of a moan and a shout escapes your lips when he bites a tad too hard. teasing. testing the waters.
“for a little minx, you’re quite sensitive,” his chuckle is as warm and endearing. too warm and endearing for someone who’s doing things he shouldn’t do to his precious little brother’s best friend.
“the boys dig it,” you remark, not knowing that it would spark a fire that burns so bright, it can only be put out by your silent suffering as he flips you two over.
“that’s right, you’ve only ever had boys,” it’s not a question and even if it is, you wouldn’t have the time to answer because you’re yelping in surprise at the coolness that licks your entrance, legs forced open by seokjin’s knee.
“and girls- ah!”
a lone, single fingerpad rims around your opening. and that’s all it takes for you to swallow thickly. breath coming out bated with anticipation. heartbeat racing.
“let’s see, if you don’t make a sound, i’ll fuck you while you play next time,” he slips the tip of his finger in as if testing you, hoping you’d moan right when he sets down his offer on the table. your bottom lip hurts from suddenly forcing your teeth on it but that’s a small price to pay especially when you haven’t heard of the second half of the deal, “if you do make a sound, we stop this whole thing - no more teasing, no more seemingly innocent little gestures.”
“alright, bet,” that might’ve come off a little prickly, but it’s all seokjin’s fault! if he wasn’t hung like a horse, you would’ve taken one speculative glance and left him to his own devices!
the sweet chuckle echoing off the walls is disarming. so much so, when he slips one digit into you, your back arches and you’re biting into the pillow to stop a moan from escaping.
“is that a moan i hear? since we just started, i’ll let you off the hook,” there it is again, that disarming trickle of hymn as he slips in and out of you, loosening you up for something much, much bigger.
“it was a cough, god damn it,” you barely manage to get that out before you’re shoving your curled index finger into your mouth when he starts inserting two fingers inside without so much as a warning.
“that’s cheating!” you whine but your legs spread wider anyway.
“all is fair in war and sex,” he comments, free hand pinning your hips down on the bed before he starts thrusting his digits faster, the squelching sound of your juices reverberating against the walls - you fear that even without your moans, the two other brothers that are walls apart would’ve heard and come knocking on seokjin’s door.
along with the fear comes the electrifying euphoric sensation that courses from the tip of your toes to your core and all over your body. you remember clawing at seokjin’s hand that’s pinning you down because of how unbearably rapturous he’s making you feel. you remember his hand not budging a single inch from your meek attempts. you remember trying to bring your legs together but something’s wedged in between them. you remember tears pricking your eyes as the background slowly fades - taehyung’s presence in the room across from where you are, the possibility of namjoon coming back and walking down the hallway right as your back arches upwards and toes curling inwards as sparks course through your veins.
when your senses come back, seokjin’s in the middle of complimenting your hardwork, if “not bad” is even plausibly a praise. his fingers are still inside you, unmoving, possibly waiting for you to come down from your pleasured state.
“did i pass?” you might have been a little too elated.
“surprisingly,” he affirms, that beautiful sound of chuckles spilling out of his mouth.
“then won’t you fuck me right now? i’m already wet for you,” the last part, you say with a tinge of spoiled-ness.
“not tonight,” he says, before instructing you to lift up your head and slipping his shirt over it. you know it’s his because his heat still lingers when you slip your arms through the arm holes, cheeks hot as you forearm brushes against a nude chest as he pulls the sheets up over you.
but you being you, manage to ruin the moment with your, “why not?”
seokjin hums, that sound alone enough to make your heart shake with a sort of emotion that you can’t pinpoint, “like taehyung says - things are better in moderation.”
“he never said that,” you plainly dispute.
“well,” a kiss lands on the side of your head and an arm drapes over your stomach, just above the area where he used the same hand attached to that arm to pin you down as he fingered you, “let’s just say it’s my way of keeping you from going back to that ggukie-guy.”
you gasp into the dark, “are you jealous?!”
“i sure am,” he admits, a bit too willingly - as if it’s a known fact.
“oh,” you say, lost for words becase - “no one really admits that they are, not the people i’ve been with at least.”
“that’s cause you never been with a man... or woman. but i’d say being with a man - me - is better. i’ll show you what you’re missing out on,” he shushes you up with a “shhh” and a hand on your jaw to turn you towards him.
a pair of the softest lips meets yours and whatever retort you’re thinking up of is already out of the window.
x
note. this is different than what i’m used to writing so i’ll probably need some help!! i’m planning to update this from time to time with scenarios like ‘where he picks you up from your uni’ or ‘wherein he takes you shopping’ - idk djashdsakj send in suggestions that you think will fit oc and seokjin’s dynamic and i’ll incorporate them for the upcoming parts in their (nsfw) adventures to realizing their feelings for each other while also sneaking around behind taehyung’s back! it’s cool if you don’t though! but heads up, my smut writing skills aren’t as good so you’ll probably see more sexy times / implied smut most of  the time lol
 either way, hope yall enjoyed this!

THREE: The Loft, 15:03,
Saturday 25 October 2025,
“Ah! There she is! Our princess has arrived! Finally!” The voice of her boss, Noh Gongmyung, filtered through the hidden speakers and to her ears as soon as she stuck her key into its lock. With a roll of her eyes, she looked up to where she knew a camera was and sharply turned the key, opening the sliding door.
“I’m not a princess, Gongmyung. How many times do I have to tell you?”
“At least once more!” The speakers hummed as she slammed the door shut, it’s automatic locks clicking into place. Kyungri could just hear the grin on his face from his words.
She walked up the metal floating stairs that led to the loft, her workspace and also home to her boss. She hadn’t cared that she worked in someone’s house, she knew well enough how well she worked when she was in the comfort of her own space. When they started working together Gongmyung hadn’t lived in the loft – it was a home away from home for both of them. However, while Kyungri chose to stay at home with her aunt and younger cousin, Gongmyung realised that he spent all of his time in the loft and that the gas money was not worth the thirty-minute trip from his house to the loft every day.
So he moved in.
He had offered Kyungri a room of her own and, while she did take it, she told him it was mainly for when they had to work long jobs. She didn’t like taking their not-so-legal jobs back to her aunt’s house.
The loft was quite large, having three separate rooms, one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen-living room that they turned into what Gongmyung called The Hacker’s Cave.
After a few years of making modulations to the loft, the two of them decided to buy the whole building, converting the downstairs area into space for their unsanctioned work. More specifically it was essentially a giant closet, locked under a padlock and a fingerprint scanner. Gongmyung had wanted to add a retina scanner but Kyungri thought that would be pushing it a little too much. They had only just been able to hide the fingerprint scanner in the wall, having a camera outside the door would just be suspicious.
She typed in the code specific to her entry and opened the door to the loft. Closing it behind her and listening for the tell-tale click which signified the door was locked again. 
Once, a while ago now, Chaeyoung had called everything over the top and that the two hackers were overly paranoid. Now she just called them “hacker spies.” Chaeyoung was the only one of her friends – and family – that had been to the loft, that had seen inside the loft. Kyungri didn’t exactly know why Chaeyoung had been let onto their little secret but she couldn’t say she was complaining. Gongmyung liked Chaeyoung too, which was always a plus, he referred to her as his second employee even though Chaeyoung couldn’t hack anything to save her life. She was a good informant and strategist though, which is why she fits in so well in their unofficial jobs. Kyungri wondered if Jaehyeon even knew they partook in felonious jobs too.
“Good afternoon, princess.” Gongmyung grinned at her, twisting his spinning chair around to face her as she entered the room.
“I brought you a coffee.” Kyungri smiled at him softly, holding the paper cup out to him, her own still half full in her other hand. She had stopped at another café, one closer to the loft, on the way – having forgotten to buy it when she was at The Café – so it was still piping hot. Just how he liked it.
“You’re buttering me up,” Gongmyung stated, taking the coffee anyway, leaning back in his chair and letting out a satisfied sigh as he took a sip. “What do you need?”
“A favour,”
“Of what kind, pray tell?” He raised an eyebrow, leaning forward in his chair.
Kyungri took a second to reply, speaking slowly like the words hurt to say, “I need your help.”
“You? Need my help?” Gongmyung emphasised, placing his free hand to his chest as if he was clutching his heart. Kyungri’s eyes closed as regret washed over her. “Our Great Hacker, the Pyo Kyungri…” he placed his coffee down on a nearby table, “wants her poor, old mentors help? The honour!” He shouted dramatically. Kyungri was tempted to just walk back out, but before she could, Gongmyung had shot up from his chair to place a hand against her forehead. “Are you feeling ill?”
She swatted his hand away, a small scowl taking over her features. “You’re thirty-four.” She rolled her eyes. Poor and old my ass, she thought. “Can you not be a dramatic dick right now? I ask you for help all the time.” She grumbled, finally taking her jacket off, hanging it on the back of the couch.
Gongmyung grinned at her. He didn’t have to verbalise his acceptance to help, he would help Kyungri even if she hadn’t asked. With the flourish of a hand, he turned to kneel on his chair with one knee and kicking off from the floor with the other, using his chair to glide across the room towards his set up area. Kyungri shook her head slightly, walking after him. Sometimes she wondered how he was the older one.
Gongmyung’s set up was… over the top, to say the least. He had lined a wall with monitors, twenty-four in total, with four servers ranging in sizes and psychedelic colours underneath them. Kyungri had always wondered why he kept a few servers upstairs, especially when they had a whole room dedicated to server’s downstairs, but she couldn’t fault him for wanting to keep the ones he built from scratch separate. When the monitors weren’t being used – by the surveillance cameras or from completing several long-range hacks at once (or downloading the latest version of his favourite video game, unreleased to the public) – they linked with each other to create one big screen. Usually when the loft had visitors – sometimes the police liked to pop in uninvited – the monitors served as a functioning TV. Gongmyung’s over the top personality and a rather large bank account had saved them from suspicion numerous times.
Kyungri had often told him that it wasn’t necessary, that everything could be done on a singular screen. He had always answered her with a simple “I know, this is just more fun!” to which she would roll her eyes, silently agreeing with the eccentric man. Their set-ups were like them: total opposites. While Gongmyung’s took up half a room, Kyungri preferred to stay mobile. She was simplistic, having three of each kind of electronic (two for her and one as a backup). Three phones – two iPhones and a Huawei – three tablets – two Samsung and a Huawei – two iPod and three laptops – her treasured Microsoft laptop and her two new ones: a MacBook and a Huawei laptop. (They had done a job for the company Huawei and were gifted with their electronics, which they kept after completely wiping them and making sure they were secure.)
In a way, the two hackers were described by how they worked. Gongmyung was over the top, in your face with a dramatic flair that everyone had to appreciate no matter how hard they tried not to. Kyungri was mobile, working incognito, on the move, classic. It was why they worked so well together: he was the guy in the chair, and she was the girl on the move.
(Chaeyoung loved to refer to their little team as spies. “We could totally be Charlie’s Angels.” She had said once. “We just need the third angel.” At her words, Gongmyung drew in a theatrical gasp, hand to his chest, offended. “How dare you say that I’m not an angel.” That day was fun.)
“What’s got you in a rough patch?” He asked, grabbing a neon pink keyboard – the one that was connected to the hot pink server, the one he kept separate because it was the only one connected to the dark web.
Kyungri pulled her own laptop out. Her trusty laptop lovingly named Microsoft (All her laptops were names as such: Mack the MacBook, Huawei the laptop.) and began typing away, still standing up next to him. “Two people apparently don’t exist anywhere other than a singular police file.”
“Now, this is interesting.”
“That’s the weird thing! It’s like these men only exist for the purpose of one measly police file and nothing else.”
“You only used your laptop to search, right? Microsoft?”
Kyungri nodded.
“Perhaps your server isn’t strong enough. Run the searches again with Huawei connected to the server room downstairs. Maybe you’ll get wider search field parameters.” Gongmyung grinned. While he wasn’t exactly a patron of the black net, he did have access to it and its connections – anything was findable for the right price. “Also, just send me all you’ve got, and I’ll get in touch with connections.”
Kyungri nodded again.
“This is quite unusual, isn’t it?” Gongmyung said after a few minutes of silence as he read over the information she had gathered. “Jo Jowon. Choi Jongho. Pictures.” He mumbled, narrating as he typed out an invisible email – an incognito way of communicating with his contacts without a trace. “I don’t think my contact is online at the moment. It might take a while to get a response.”
Kyungri nodded a third time. She wasn’t in a rush. She just got easily frustrated when things didn’t go right, quickly.
“So the police are re-investigating their deaths.”
“Yeah.”
“And Soonchul is the lead.”
Kyungri hummed in agreement.
“You have to know that ATZ aren’t even five years old yet. The crash was –’’
“Seven years ago. I know.” Kyungri cut him off, fingers stopping their tapping as she looked over at him. “I figured that out the same hour I heard the police were suspecting them.”
“So why are you still looking for them.” He asked, also stopping, having finished for now.
“I don’t know. Something doesn’t feel right, it’s bugging me.”
“Ah, and then these two boys don’t seem to exist.” He realised, teasing her slightly, “you can’t resist.”
“Soonchul is trying to pin my family’s death on a gang who hadn’t even formed yet. It’s sloppy, and I don’t appreciate it.” She shrugged, turning her attention to a monitor on the wall, where a figure had walked to the front door. She looked away after realising she knew who it was, continuing her little speech. “I don’t understand the connection. I’ve been waiting for six years for them to re-open the case and when it is, I can’t help but feel angry.”
“My father wants to find ATZ, everyone wants the Pyo Crash case solved once and for all. He’s killing two birds with one stone, trying to twist everything together by his own will.” Chaeyoung called loudly, having heard the last part of Kyungri’s sentence as she entered the door. She leant back against it, waiting for the click before she wandered into the room. While she wasn’t a hacker, Chaeyoung worked with Kyungri on their out-of-hours jobs. She had her own keys and her own password for the loft, she was part of the team. She shrugged her black trench coat off, throwing it haphazardly in the direction of the couch, not bothering to see if it fell on the floor or not. “I went to lunch with him last week, he wouldn’t stop muttering about how he was going to get the station to look for ATZ and get off his back about the Pyo case.” Chaeyoung rested on Kyungri, her arms over the now seated Kyungri’s shoulders and her head resting on her shoulder. Kyungri leant back into the orange-haired girl, trying to give her stronger stability to lean against – she knew she was tired.  “We are talking about my dad, right?”
“Bit of a poor solution. It’s not even thought out well.” Gongmyung tsked.
Chaeyoung yawned a little, “I don’t think the station cares if I’m being honest. They’re just happy he’s finally doing it.”
“Anyway, now that both of you are here, I can brief you of tonight’s job.”
“Sure thing GM but, can I go get pizza first? I came straight here from the café, and I’m starving.” Chaeyoung’s tired expression had cleared into a livelier one at the thought of food through her words still slurred a little. Gongmyung mirrored her grin and pulled a silver card out of thin air, holing it out in front of her.
“It’s on me or rather, on you. That’s your card for the night, there’s five million won on it.” He told Chaeyoung, emphasising the amount on the card. “It’s for the job, to keep up appearances. You have to be expensive to look like a regular at an expensive club.” Chaeyoung nodded, plucking the card from his fingers. She pressed a gentle kiss on Kyungri’s cheek before standing, walking to the door and scooping her coat up from the floor on the way.
“Got it! You want the usual?” She called over her shoulder as she opened the door.
Kyungri and Gongmyung hadn’t left it a second before they chorused a ‘yes’. After the orange-haired woman had left Gongmyung turned to Kyungri, another card in his hand.
“Thank you.” Kyungri smiled at him softly. He reached out the same hand to pat her hair gently. “While she’s gone I’ll go shower, the world knows I'm quicker. She’ll need at least an hour just for her shower.” Kyungri let out a laugh as she slapped her hands against her thighs as she stood.
“I’ll keep you updated.”
“Ah yes, we can play Is Gongmyung’s Voice Louder Than The Shower again.”
The bathroom was standard compared to the rest of the building. Kyungri only really used it for its essentials – to shower and to use the toilet – while Gongmyung couldn’t care less what a bathroom looked like. Chaeyoung kept bringing in little decorations around every now and then, but they always seemed to go missing after a week or two. The walls were tiled in white, a toilet sink and shower the only appliances inside. On one wall hung five towels, two were black, two were hot pink and the last of was a white hair towel, stained with diluted hair dye. Also hung on the wall, above the sin, was a large square mirror.
Kyungri stared at her reflection, letting the shower warm-up before she got in it. She had bags under her eyes that would need to be covered properly before they left for the job, no one going to the club would flaunt their designer eyebags. She’d have to get Chaeyoung to fix her up with the strong stuff later. Kyungri took her hair in her hands, looping it through her fingers. It was getting quite long, the black hair dye starting to leave her roots. They weren’t that bad, her natural hair a dark brown anyway, but she knew they would bother her is she didn’t get them done again soon.
The water was hot against her skin; it almost burnt. But that’s how she liked it. She liked being warm and would often cuddle herself up under at least three blankets when she could. She closed her eyes and leant her head back, letting her hair fall down her back, under the steady stream of water. She liked showers, they were relaxing. However, she could never spend more than fifteen minutes in there. She washed out the shampoo in her dark locks and applied the conditioner, twisting her hair into a makeshift top-knot to sit for a little while as she bent over slightly to shave her legs. Kyungri liked having smooth legs but, in reality, she hated having to shave them. Just as she finished up with the razor and went to wash the conditioner from her hair, the bathroom door bounced open startling her a little but not enough for her to make a sound.
“I’m back, and your pizza will get cold if you take forever!” Chaeyoung shouted over the flow of water. Kyungri shook her head in amusement, continuing to wash out her hair.
“Thanks, Chae.” She shouted back. She could feel Chaeyoung’s cheeky grin as she heard her laugh.
“OH! Before I forget! After you left the café earlier, I overheard Mr Tattooist and his friend. Whose name is Yoosang by the way and, he’s completely one-hundred-per cent cute. Apparently San did something, and you didn’t notice? I assumed it was that he tried asking for your number by the way Yoosang laughed at him, but I had already given him your number, so it got me thinking.”
Kyungri switched off the water, stepping out of the shower. She didn’t rush to cover herself in front of Chaeyoung, but she wrapped a pink towel around her body because the window was open, and the breeze was cold.
“Just be careful around him okay, he’s like super pretty to look at but, now I have a funny feeling about that tattooist. Like there’s something hidden about him.” Chaeyoung spoke seriously as she sat on top of the toilet as if it were a chair.
“You gave him my number?”
“Before he was being shady!”
Kyungri couldn’t help but laugh, and after a few seconds, Chaeyoung had joined in.
“I also went outfit digging so finish up in here and then just come through to the room, yeah?” Chaeyoung smiled up at her tall best friend. Kyungri returned the smile and kissed her cheek as Chaeyoung departed from the bathroom.
She left the bathroom, hair and body wrapped up in pink towels and headed towards the living room. She didn’t care that she was in just a towel around Gongmyung, he was essentially her brother for all intents and purposes. 
“I did tell Chae you were in the shower, sorry she interrupted you.” He told Kyungri as she stopped next to him at the table. From where she was sat on the floor on the opposite side of the table, Chaeyoung grinned up at Kyungri with a wink.
“It’s not like she doesn’t do it every time anyway but, thanks,” Kyungri replied to Gongmyung with a small amused smile. She propped a hand on her waist, her other hand holding its wrist as she focused back to Chaeyoung. “So what are my options, Chae?”
“Under very tight time restrictions, not fair by the way,” She glared at the man in the room for a second, “I’ve given you a dress and a crop-top-shorts combo.” Chaeyoung gave her a dazzling smile, hands shaking back and forth like she was in a jazz number. Kyungri nodded a little, looking over both options. “I get to wear the other one so, please choose the one I don’t want,” Chaeyoung added with a rushed mumble and a little squeal, her hands shooting into the air to show off her crossed fingers. Kyungri rolled her eyes a little, the smile growing on her face. She should have known.
The dress was a lively red colour, the woven cotton was laced with glittered fabric to give off a shine under every angle. It was lined with cream-coloured silk, smooth to the touch. It was also quite small, and Kyungri knew it would fit Chaeyoung better. The orange-haired girl had even paired it with a pair of black criss-cross stiletto heels in her size.
The other outfit was quite racy, but Kyungri really didn’t care. While she preferred to live her life in leggings and jumpers three sized too big for her, she knew her body was fit. She looked after herself; going to the gym every other day and running two miles every morning. Her core was strong, ready for anything that was thrown at her. She knew she had abs, not rock hard, but there was some definition there. She knew she would feel comfortable in the crop top (which was actually just a fancy lace bralette) and matching shorts. It was placed with a peached coloured jacket - a thin material studded in large sequins - and a pair of black sneakers that were jazzed up with the same peach colour, but the sequins were extra small. She loved it, she knew that Chaeyoung had expected her to choose that outfit and so, just to mess with her she picked up the dress and turned on her heel towards her bedroom.
“Kyungri!” Chaeyoung called after her. Kyungri couldn’t help the giddy laugh that left her lips as Chaeyoung started chasing her.
“You’re too easy to wind up, Chaeyoung.” She told her once they had stopped running around. Kyungri handed the dress and heels over to the shorter girl with a teasing smile over her lips. Chaeyoung grumbled a little under her breath, making her look slightly younger than she was than how she acted. Kyungri was reminded that Chaeyoung had only just turned twenty the other month.
Kyungri returned to the living room to scoop up her outfit, and the two girls left Gongmyung to eat his pizza alone. Which wasn’t particularly unusual.
An hour and a half later, Chaeyoung was out of the shower and drying her hair out with a hairdryer as Kyungri nibbled on the last slice of her own pizza, still in her towel as she worked on Sam, her Samsung tablet. (Truthfully, she had been distracted by Twitter.) The two girls got dressed together, helping one another with small adjustments and styling choices. Chaeyoung helped Kyungri twist her long hair up into two twisted space buns, doing her makeup for her since Kyungri was kind of helpless. Kyungri had pulled a detailed braid through one side of Chaeyoung’s hair, decorating it with small metal loops and hair gems. By eight P.M they emerged from Kyungri’s bedroom, dressed to the nines and glowing. Gongmyung, who had seen them dressed up for club jobs before, let out a little wolf whistle as they came into view.
“Stunning, as always.” He complimented them. Kyungri gave him a small, yet confident, smile as Chaeyoung dipped down into a curtsey.
“Thank you, I know. I know.” She spoke in a fake posh accent, dramatically waving her hands around as if she were royalty. They all made their way to Gongmyung’s set up, waiting to get briefed.
“The club is called X-Clusive.” He began, sitting down in his chair. The two girls sat down together of one of Kyungri’s huge beanbag chairs, sharing a tablet to see what Gongmyung would be talking about. “The official job Kyungri’s on tonight is to figure out how one gets through all their security. There's a singular back door entrance under a set of seven different electronic locks. The bouncers are given a printed version of the guest list, which is very specific, so as a fall back you will both be on it as yourselves.
“However, for your second job tonight, you will be known as Park Hyeri and Lee Chanmi, two old college friends who reconnect after seeing each other at a fancy club. There is talk of a gun pass happening in the high levels of X-Clusive tonight. The gangs are unknown, but connections think NCT will be there. You are to observe and relay information. Do that by any means necessary, we don’t know who else we’ll be dealing with.” He finished. 
Both girls nodded once in unison. 
“Great. After that, you’re free to stay as long as you want and spend as much as you want. Stay alert, I want to be able to get to you if anything happens, got it?”
Again, the girl’s nodded, grinning at one another. Time to go clubbing.

if you want to know how old i am, just take a look at my old mobile phones:
• my first one was a chunky LG flip phone that had AN ATTENA on it. it also came with an awkward, big & chunky charging cradle for the phone. it only had T9 texting. the camera was only like 2 megapixels or whatever. not much memory either, probably like 2gb or something. bluetooth functionality I think. this was 2005.
• my second phone was a less chunky, nokia slide up & down phone. it also had T9 texting only ability and a 3 mexapixel camera probably. again not much memory. defs had bluetooth functionality bc by this time I was bluetoothing songs to my friends etc, i think. (2006-2007.)
• LG shine mirror phone, again slidey, with T9 texting ability and a low megapixel camera. again not much memory. bluetooth functionality. this was 2008.
• my super low budget version of the sidekick™️ phone, my LG webslider, which came with a myspace or facebook button on it, which cost an arm and a leg in credit & internet usage when you pressed it.
much like the ever expensive (here in australia anyway) and popular sidekick™️ phone & blackberry phones, the webslider came with a fully functioning alphabet keyboard!!! INNOVATION!!! not much memory space, probably about 3gb. but you could put in an external SD card to store stuff. no idea about the camera, probably still low MPs, so I took sucky videos when I went to concerts in year 8.
bluetooth functionality, obvs. for emo pop culture references: my friend bluetooth-ed “shake it” by metro station to my webslider, while I bluetoothed her like idek now, weightless by all time low to her laptop from my phone.... and then she BTed paramore’s song “decode” to my phone from hers. (2009)
• my blackberry!!!! man I loved that thing even though it had the worlds worst mobile games & camera. also had a fully functioning alphabetic keyboard, which was great. not much memory I think. bluetooth functionality bc of business moguls on the run. (2010-2011).
• the second gen samsung galaxy phone, my first touch screen phone. had a like 5 (???) megapixel camera. about 4 gigs of memory I think??? no idea. but again, I could put in an external SD card of like 36gb or something to extend it. obvs had bluetooth, but never used it bc it was pretty outdated by 2012/2013, except with hands free phone use in cars and with headphones. (2012/2013)
• from then on, i had iphones from like iphone 5/6/6s till iphone 11; that I have now. we all know how “advanced” iphones were from 2008 till 2016 or whatever. now everything’s just as advanced as the iphone.... or advanced earlier than the iphone did.
memory space ranged from 16gb-64gb (my first iphone was 16gb i think). my 2nd-4th iphones were 32gb and my iphone 11 is 64gb.... but I almost got the 128gb!!!! (wow!!!! how far we’ve come!!!) also, icloud storage for $1.49 a month for 50gb.
12 megapixel camera or some shit with selfie mode and anti-glare crystal clear photos etc???? like. yeah. we’ve come a looooong way from the days of bluetoothing songs to each other’s phones lmao. i haven’t used bluetooth since like 2009/2010 😂 except to pair my phone with my car to answer calls hands free. (2013/2014 til 2020).
and that’s how old I am, by my mobile phones over the years lmao.

Sailfish OS: One Day
Today’s gonna be a weird and long post, so let’s start slow and give you the choice.
We’ve had, for years, seen the constant back and forth between Google and Apple on their respective phone operating systems. Android, which has dominated the market on basically any device you can pick up here in the states, and iOS, which exclusively powers iPhones, iPods and iPads. Despite the two duking it out, Android does hold the highest market share. As of Q2 2018, Statista claims a whopping 82% market share for Android, and no other competitors really exist.
But, for years, I’ve been enamored by an OS that has been seemingly out of my reach, and has had a lot of drawbacks that prevented me from ever considering using it for more than an hour. An OS that’s been going strong for over 5 years, and might soon see a new breath of fresh air due to recent allegations to Huawei. So, after the break, let me tell you my tale of Sailfish OS.
Now one thing I want to briefly mention is the history of this, but don’t take it as gospel. I’m not an expert on this stuff, but what I’ve gathered is Sailfish OS is built on a foundation of MeeGo and Mer. MeeGo has prospered on its own to Tizen, an alternative OS used widely by Samsung on their watches and fridges (for some reason), while Mer was a fork of MeeGo driven by the community, and became the framework for ex-Nokia employees to start a new project, with the funding of Nokia through their Bridge program. Those ex-Nokia employees would found Jolla, and Sailfish OS would be their creation.
I first heard of Sailfish in 2013, as I was dipping my toes into the world of smartphones at that point. It looked incredible, with vivid, vibrant colors, a gesture-driven UI, a uniform design language, and a promise of privacy and openness that we definitely don’t see from companies today. And at the time, I was especially curious of their hardware.
Tumblr media

The Jolla phone saw its first pre-orders in April of 2013, and was officially available for purchase by November. It had decent specs for the time. Snapdragon 400, a modest 540x960 resolution (keep in mind, the flagship Samsung Galaxy SIII had a mere 720p resolution), 1GB of RAM, a 2100mAh battery, and most interesting to me, the “Other Half” which powered the system’s Ambiences. You slap a new Other Half on it, and the color changed to match in the OS. Cool in concept.
The later Jolla tablet would be promoted with an Indiegogo campaign, but unfortunately, costs and availability of materials, and the development of Sailfish OS 2.0 led to the tablet ultimately being cancelled, with a handful of units out in the wild.
Since then, Jolla’s gotten back on stable footing. The OS is open for licensing with OEMs, and Jolla’s been able to get official support from places like Russia, and companies like... Sony.
I have the Xperia XA2, released in March 2018 for $300 in the US. I snatched it up on eBay for a mere $170, and I’ve enjoyed its clean design, near-stock OS, and the solid in-house Sony apps like the Gallery and Music apps worked wonders. But then I discovered Jolla was working on Sailfish X for the XA2.
As a way to support the OS, and a way to fund the continued development of an Android compatibility layer for those who need Android apps, Jolla has Sailfish X, a version of their OS that features predictive text input with the keyboard, software updates and customer support, and of course, the Alien Dalvik, which lets you run Android apps on the OS natively. This was important, since I knew I needed apps like Discord, Twitter, Google Maps, and I could see the available open-sourced apps of things like Keepass weren’t gonna cut it.
The process was a bit difficult, and I stayed up until 4am on Saturday, trying to get the phone backed up, flashed, and ready to go with what I needed. First, I had to unlock the bootloader, which Sony and Jolla made it pretty easy. Then I had to buy the OS for the meager $35 USD (which I had done before even being certain my phone would do it, don’t make my mistake), download their software package and just... do it. After an hour, I had the phone running Sailfish, and man, it was a delight from the beginning. Swiping, tapping, sliding, the OS felt smooth, it had this flow about it.
Tumblr media
After I got the accounts logged in, I proceeded to grab a few apps... before realizing all too soon that I’d need Google Play services. This is where I’m probably gonna get a lot of flack. For all the effort I put in, I was about to install apps that were at least partially at fault for the slowness of my XA2 on Android, and defeating the point of installing Sailfish.
Let me be forward in saying I don’t care that much about privacy. Do I like Google being involved in every facet of my life? Absolutely not, but they are sadly a necessary evil. And it’s not like you, the reader, would be any different. Tumblr, after all, is owned by Verizon, who has a history of screwing customers in plenty of situations, including firefighters who need constant access to emergency services for contact. And too many things want or need Google Play for me to avoid it. Discord, Telegram, Authy, Youtube, I use all this stuff, and without GP, it gets unhappy. I could remedy some of those by using Amazon or just going open-source with F-Droid, but it won’t fix the issue. And even now, microG, an open-source implementation of Google Play services, isn’t perfect, and would likely cause more headaches than I could handle at 4am on a Saturday.
Fortunately, some good Samaritans on Jolla’s Together forums created a simple Bash script I could run by just SSHing into my phone... Wow, that was a sentence. A fitting one though. After that, and after some headaches with the Google Setup wizard (here’s a tip: use Vision settings to get to your Android settings, and disable permissions on “Android Setup” when you’ve gotten your account logged in), I was finally using my phone, and it runs quite well. Android apps don’t consistently work correctly. Often, I have to close apps like the settings or Keepass because the framework stops updating the frontend, or even fully stop and start Android support, but it works well for just about everything I’m using on it now!
Tumblr media
I really like the UI and design, and since the Other Half concept isn’t there for the XA2, ambiences are just a menu away from changing the look and feel of the OS in this pleasing way.
Tumblr media
The system flows thanks to its gesture-driven controls. Swiping up from the bezel will bring you your app tray, swiping from the top bezel gives you quick settings. When you’re on the home screen, swiping left or right gives you a sort of agenda view where notifications, weather, and updates from your Twitter, Facebook, XMPP, VK and other accounts stack up. When you’re inside an app, swiping from the left or right bezel should bring you back home. Of all the interface controls on this device, that one is the most inconsistent one, a pain point given the nature of Android’s design language encourages these slide-out menus that you can’t consistently swipe open due to that gesture. The only setting I’ve found on that is to change the left-side bezel swipe to open the agenda instead of going home. I’d personally prefer hot zones on the bezels, so if I wanted to go home, swipe in from the lower half of the screen, but if I want the Android menus, slide from the top half.
Other interesting design cues come from the glowing parts of the UI, where extended menu options usually hide, or places you can slide out to are available.
Tumblr media
Sliding down if the top is glowing usually opens this pulley menu, where each option can be selected by just pulling a bit and letting go. It’s an odd one, and due to the inconsistencies of apps and options, the pulley menu isn’t as instantly intuitive as I would hope. If there’s a glowing dot on a page though, you can simply slide to return to a menu from previously, or access another menu if the dot’s on the right side. Again, this is a bit inconsistent, as the unofficial Twitter app, Pingviini, showcases. You can actually just swipe left and right at will to access your notifications, conversations, search and trendings, and timeline. That bottom menu you’re seeing there is hidden so often, it’s basically pointless to have it there. This does make the whole system feel more cohesive, Pingviini looks like it belongs on this phone, but it does hurt usability.
Tumblr media
Thus far, I’m still testing and learning about this OS. I had to google screenshotting, which is simply holding the volume rocker together. Doesn’t feel as reliable as the Android alternative of Volume Down and Power / Home, but I’ll take it. I don’t plan on gaming with this. Games are just not what I buy a phone for. It’s nice to have it there, but I’d prefer to just play my 3DS if I’m out and about.
I can’t wait to do more with Sailfish. It feels really nice to use, and I’m honestly draining my phone’s battery just from the amusement of swiping and sliding menus around and admiring the design of this. The last OS I really enjoyed using was Blackberry 10, and this feels like a sort of spiritual successor, with the included agenda feed and the persistent cards for apps you’re using.

The Samsung notebook proves that it can also go better with a value of 293.1 cd / m². The Aspire V5-471G is made entirely of matt silver plastic. Unfortunately, this plastic gives a cheap impression. The surfaces of the case are smooth; there was no decoration or texturing. The IdeaPad and Samsung Notebook are also made entirely of plastic. Should Windows 8 no longer run smoothly, you can reset the system to the delivery state using the recovery partition. Unfortunately, the recovery program can no longer be called up with a key combination after switching on the notebook, but only within Windows. Therefore, every user should create a Windows Recovery DVD with which the recovery can also be called up if Windows should not start anymore. The "Intowindows.com" website provides instructions in English for creating such a DVD. The flat notebook offers little space for interfaces.

If the problem is limited to individual buttons and you want to lend a hand yourself, you can buy them from specialist retailers. The laptop keyboard does not spin because it was accidentally adjusted in the heat of the moment.

My technological imperative
It’s 2006, I’m sitting in a computer lab watching a caterpillar jump from one letter to another, the teacher comes over and places a piece of white poster board over my hands. I’ve been cheating, I was looking at my fingers while also trying to match the letters to the caterpillar. It’s computer class and our grade are based off whether or not we can keep our fingers on the “home keys.” I’m home now, it’s time to feed my Neopet, my dad’s on the phone though, I hope my Neopet hasn’t died yet. I finally got online, my AIM pops up, my friends are online—we discuss how terrible computer class is; my Neopet is fed, time to fix my Myspace page. Its 2006 and my generation is great at coding HTMLs because Myspace is what’s important to us all. Its 2009, Facebook is all the rage, thank god I don’t have to spend hours coding and we no longer have dial up, I have a flip phone and have just gotten unlimited texting, we no longer type words out, now it’s only “brb, g2g, ttyl.” It’s all about PowerPoint, until about 2011 when I discovered Prezi, now we can make things zoom out and zoom in and whoosh through without having to click a bunch of buttons in PowerPoint. Its 2012 and I get my first laptop, it’s a refurbished Dell laptop, it runs out of storage so now I need a portable hard drive to keep room. Its 2013 and my laptop dies, I get a brand new one that has the capability of a split screen. It’s 2017 and I finally get a MacBook Pro, I have no idea what to do on this thing, I didn’t even know what to do on my Dell, I’ve spent a year just clicking around on my Mac trying to figure out what the buttons feel do. My email addresses have gone from aim emails, to a comcast, to a google and now an Akron one; from [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] now kennedyano7and kao34. I still am trying to learn what the excess buttons are at the bottom of the emails—I barely know how to send an attachment let alone full-blown pictures in the email.
Its 2006, we’re goofing off in computer class trying to draw pictures via the computer, the mouse doesn’t move in a circle. Its 2009, and now you just click a square to color its in. Its 2012 there are apps for everything, now you can just download a coloring app. Its 2019 and now coloring books are back, except there created for cuss words and jokes now. I don’t understand how apps work at all— like the “notes” section on your phone, I still don’t understand how that works. What buttons are you supposed to click when you want to create a new note/send a new note/save a new note. Now I’m just trying to figure out how to use MacBook Pro to just do my regular everyday work.
           I tried to use Arbonne to make some extra something on the side with a new kid, but that needs so much technology I have no clue what I got into—none of it makes sense. Now I need to create something to house all my projects for this class? How am I supposed to do that? Aren’t millennials supposed to be able to do anything and everything technology related, am I even a millennial? I stopped trying to use Instagram to advocate for Arbonne, how does Instagram even work?
           Its 2019, it’s all about Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and I have no idea how anything actually works. What is technology, there’s so many issues with WIFI I’d rather go back to dial up, at least then I knew the reason it wasn’t working was because someone picked up the phone and tried to make a phone call. All that mumbo-jumbo about WIFI not working because their working on lines or the cable needs to be restarted, it’s just too much. I’m about to be 25 years old and I still don’t understand how Microsoft Word even works.
           Its 2006 and I just learned how to change the color on my away message for AIM, it’s all set up so that when someone messages me they get my message. Its 2009 and I’m just learning how to setup Facebook. Its 2013 and I just discovered how to add people from my new dorm room onto my Facebook. Its 2019 and apparently you can change the color of your twitter page from light to dark, change your MacBook from light to dark. I even learned how to get my WIFI setup nicely. Its 2019 and I’m still trying to get used to Brightspace, Springboard was a lot easier to use than Brightspace. Why does everything have to be so complicated.
           Its 2006 and you’ve never heard of buying things online. Its 2009 and online Amazon shopping is popular. Its 2012 and I just purchased majority of my dorm room things online. I just signed up for Amazon Prime. Everything came within two days, this is amazing—you used to have to wait for weeks for your items and at that point you completely forgot what you bought. Its 2019 and now I can have everything the next day, or even pick the day I want to have things sent to me. Online shopping makes more sense to me than setting up a website—I can even program Amazon to one-click where I don’t have to use any information and can just click a button.
           Its 2006 and my mini iPod shuffle has music from LimeWire on it. I don’t know what song is going to appear because it doesn’t have a screen but it’s still pretty cool. Its 2009 and I have a flip phone, my iPod shuffle and my Walkman! Its 2012 and I have a sliding keyboard phone with an iPod that has a screen! LimeWire isn’t a “thing”anymore—good because half the music I downloaded wasn’t even what I really wanted. I continue to ask for iPod gift cards for every occasion possible, iTunes is expensive. Its 2019 and I have Apple Music, for $10.99 a month I get unlimited anything and everything. I don’t even need to download things anymore, that saves me so much time/effort.
           Its 2006 and technology is basically nonexistent. Its 2009 and Apple is becoming a thing. Its 2012/2013 and now I just have to worry about the University of Akron’s WIFI actually working [it never really worked in the dorms]. Its 2019 and now I can just go up to people at a desk and ask them to help me with my WIFI because it doesn’t work, it’s as simple as just deleting the old WIFI setting and setting it up all over again. We have autosave and an iCloud.
           Its 2006 and I just need a floppy disk to save my work. Its 2009 and we’ve gone from a floppy disk to USB drive, now you just have to make sure your computer is compatible to your USB drive. Its 2013 and I have an external hard drive plugged into my refurbished Dell laptop. Its 2019 and now everything is saved to a “cloud.” Which reminds me of the movie where the people accidentally send the contents of their “cloud” to their whole contact list—is that the danger we face nowadays?
           Its 2006 and you cannot text until after 9pm. Its 2009 and my parents are having me use a pay-as-you-go flip phone in order for me to pay for my own minutes, I just want to be able to text people. Its 2010 and my Samsung flip keyboard doesn’t work. Its 2013 and I have my first iPhone, I’m never going back to Samsung. Its 2015 and I crack my screen, I call my mom crying. Its 2019 and I have to set up AutoPay for my new phone bill service. It asks for the twelfth day of the month, but it’ll be taken out on the fifteenth, I don’t understand how that works. I’m so confused, nothing makes sense. My boyfriend’s father does everything electronically, I still send a check in the mail when it’s time to pay my car.
           Its 2006 and I spend majority of my money on buying DVDs and a portable DVD player for myself. Its 2009 and I illegally downloaded movies off the internet. Its 2013 and my TV has a DVD player in it. Its 2019 and now there’s Netflix, which I’m still learning how to use. I miss Blockbuster. I miss VHS’s, I still don’t know what feeling is worse—a broken VHS tape or scratched up DVD Player, either way I cry when one of them happens.
           Its 2019 and I don’t understand how anything works anymore. Between PowerPoint, iMovie, Microsoft Word, and even Amazon either way when did everything get so difficult? I will be 25 this year, my son is almost four months old, technology makes no sense to me. I can barely figure out the control remote for our TV. Its 2019 and Disney is coming out with a new service with access to movies. Am I still old school for wanting to buy DVDs? Sometimes, when dealing with today’s technology, I ask myself am I 24 or am I 48?

The 'Slidable' Computer Display Goes From 13 to 17 Inches and Back Again
The ‘Slidable’ Computer Display Goes From 13 to 17 Inches and Back Again
Intel and Samsung have come up with a novel PC design: a “slidable” gadget with a screen that can be pulled out to a considerably greater size. The sliding PC resembled a tablet in design, as it lacked a traditional keyboard. However, it was more like a laptop in size, with a screen diagonal of between 13 and 17 inches. The gadget was demonstrated on Tuesday at Intel Innovation, the same…

How to set up Xbox Game Streaming and play games on your phone
Many years after Sony presented Remote Play with its PlayStation 4, Microsoft is currently finding its own web-based feature. 
Tumblr media
Set up Xbox Game Streaming and play games on your phone
Certainly, Windows 10 PC proprietors could stream their Xbox One comfort over the nearby organization. However, in contrast to PlayStation 4 proprietors, they couldn't stream their games elsewhere, not even to Grandma's home. 
That is completely changed. Microsoft currently gives two techniques for streaming your Xbox One games to a cell phone: Directly from the reassure at any area, not exactly at home, and from Microsoft's cloud. Presently here's the kicker: Remote Play outside the home organization is just accessible on iOS and Android. Cloud-put together gaming is just accessible with respect to Android. 
In this guide, we split all the Xbox game streaming goodness into two areas.
Stream from your Xbox
With the latest updates to the operating system and Xbox app, Microsoft has really simplified the method of streaming games to your mobile device. The settings are minimal at best, so there is less tinkering and more playing.
Here are the requirements:
Android 6.0 or newer
iOS 13 or newer
Bluetooth 4.0 and newer
7Mbps to 10Mbps internet connection
5GHz wireless connection (2.4GHz support not optimized)
Xbox app (Apple) (Google)
Xbox One console (duh)
Xbox controller
Get the console ready
These instructions assume you already have an Xbox One registered to your account and ready to stream.
Step 1: Press the Xbox button on the controller.
Step 2: Select Profile & System.
Step 3: Select Settings.
Step 4: Select Devices & Connections.
Step 5: Select Remote Features.
Step 6: Check the box next to Remote Features.
Step 7: Select Instant-On listed under Power Mod
On mobile - Pair a controller
These instructions are based on pure Android 10 (shown above) and iOS 14. These steps may vary on Samsung Galaxy and other Android phones.
Step 1: Open Settings.
Step 2: Tap Connected Devices (Android) or Bluetooth (iOS).
Step 3: Press and hold the Xbox controller’s Pair button, found between the triggers, until the Xbox button flashes.
Step 4: On the phone, tap Pair a New Device (Android only).
Step 5: Tap on the Xbox controller listed on your phone.
Step 6: Tap Pair on the pop-up screen to confirm the connection (Android only).
On Mobile - Play your games
These instructions assume you already have an Xbox One and it’s registered to your account. The Xbox app now includes a Set Up a Console tool, but it's only for setting up a new console, so ignore it.
Step 1: Open the Xbox app.
Step 2: Sign in to the same Microsoft Account used to access your Xbox One console.
Step 3: Tap the My Library icon. It resembles a stack of books.
Step 4: Tap Consoles.
Step 5: Tap the Xbox One console registered to your account.
Step 6: Tap the Remote Play on This Device option on the pop-up menu.
Alternatively, you can tap the console button on the home screen (shown above) to access and stream from your Xbox One.
Note: The Set Up a Console button is used for just that - it's not specific to game streaming. It's a convenient way to get the console ready via a mobile device rather than having to fumble with a controller.
Stream from the cloud
This help possibly works in the event that you buy into Game Pass Ultimate, which costs $15 each month. 
With this arrangement, you can stream your bought Xbox games as well as in excess of 100 games in the current Game Pass library. You can't stream these games from the cloud utilizing the Xbox application — this help requires the Xbox Games Pass application. 
Microsoft actually records this help as a beta, so anticipate a few issues for the present. 
Note: You are not needed to introduce these games on your Xbox One reassure.
Step 1: Open the Xbox Game Pass app.
Step 2: Sign in to the same Microsoft Account used to access your Xbox One console.
Step 3: Tap the Cloud tab.
Step 4: Tap the green Play button on any game you own or from the Game Pass library.
Troubleshooting
Here are a few basic inquiries and issues related to game streaming. 
Is Remote Play accessible in my area? 
Microsoft gives a rundown of nations and areas on its site. Continue to inquire if yours isn't recorded. 
Does Remote Play support reverse viable games? 
No, as of October 2020. 
I can't combine the regulator 
Your Xbox Controller may require a firmware update. To get the update, open the Xbox Accessories application at your comfort by exploring My Games and Apps> Apps. 
Open up the application and snap the three specks that will be under your regulator. On the following screen, you'll notice an Update Now button. Be that as it may, this will possibly show up if new firmware is accessible. If not, you'll see the current adaptation recorded here. 
In case you're actually experiencing difficulty, you can associate with your Android by means of a wired association. 
Note: Be mindful that you will not have the option to refresh an Xbox regulator when it's associated with your Android gadget.
I'm having connectivity issues
You must have an Open or Moderate NAT-type home network for everything to work properly. Be sure to look at your router and confirm that the settings are adjusted accordingly. Microsoft has info on NAT types that may benefit you, so feel free to check that out. If you want to look at the NAT type your console is currently using, all you have to do is head to Settings> General> Network Settings.
If you notice lagging while streaming the Xbox One to a mobile device, switch off your device's Wi-Fi for a second, turn it back on, and then restart the Xbox app again. If your Xbox One is wired to the network, you’ll most likely experience improved performance. However, keep in mind that functionality will differ when you’re streaming your Xbox to your Android device with a mobile connection.
Here are a few suggestions from Microsoft:
Don’t connect your mobile device to a Wi-Fi extender.
Don’t use a VPN.
Don’t cast to a second screen (Chromecast, Apple TV).
Use a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection.
Turn off Detect Suspicious Networks and Wi-Fi Power Savings Mode on Android.
Clear the app cache on Android.
Enable High-Performance Mode on your device, if available.
The Xbox app doesn’t show my console
If the app does not display or find your console, you may need to locate it manually. Open the Xbox app and go to My Library. From there, select Keyboards. Swipe down from the top of the page to refresh your console menu. Your device's name should appear at this point.
I can’t play on a cellular connection
First, make sure your Xbox app is connected to your cellular data. If you have an Android smartphone, go to Settings> Apps & notifications and tap Game Pass or the Xbox app. After opening the settings for this app, make sure to slide the background data toggle switch (it should appear blue).
If you're using an iPhone or iPad, open your device's settings, click Game Pass or the Xbox app, and double-check that the Cellular Data toggle switch is also toggled (the button should appear green).

The Motorola Razr is one of my favorite phones, but I won't buy it
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/the-motorola-razr-is-one-of-my-favorite-phones-but-i-wont-buy-it-3/
The Motorola Razr is one of my favorite phones, but I won't buy it
Tumblr media
When I picked up the Motorola Razr foldable phone for the first time I was taken aback by how heavy it was. Unlike the original lovable and seemingly indestructible plastic version from 2004, this new Razr is dense. It’s made from glass, stainless steel and plastic and weighs nearly the same as the 6.55-inch OnePlus 7 Pro. The first time I flicked it open with my wrist in one motion, that satisfying Razr feeling was back. The action feels tighter than the OG Razr, but you can still slam it shut after a phone call.

Midtier specs
Concerns over durability
The Motorola Razr is one of a handful of foldable phones you can actually buy, which include the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Royole FlexPai and Huawei Mate X. But it’s the first to bridge a modern Android phone and the familiar clamshell design of the past. Before the current dynasty of glass slab smartphones, Motorola defined what a mobile phone was. And this new Razr could help redefine how we use our phones.
After a week of using the Razr as my daily driver, I have strong feelings for it and a few questions. At $1,499, it doesn’t have the fastest processor, the biggest battery or the best cameras. If this phone didn’t fold in half, it would be a solid midtier Android phone. But the Razr has something most phones lack: personality. And as Jules says in Pulp Fiction, “Personality goes a long way.” The Razr feels more personal than any phone I’ve used.
Every time I flip it open or closed, I see its value rise. That said, most people shouldn’t buy the Razr, myself included. The true test of its design will take place over the coming months inside the pockets of those who do buy it. This doesn’t mean Motorola is on the wrong track: The Razr is an enormous accomplishment that sets the stage for an improved second version.
There’s so much to go over, but let me start by answering a few common questions.
Does the Razr squeak or creak?
Yes. My review unit squeaks when I fold it. Not like a rubbery sound, more of a muffled crunching sound. It’s disheartening.
In November, a few of us at CNET spent the better part of a day with three different preproduction Razrs. We were told those units were six months old. But I don’t remember any of those phones making the slightest creak. If there was a noise, it was quiet enough not to draw my attention. Should you be concerned? Of course. At first I thought maybe it was the screen and, like a nice pair of leather boots, it just needs time to “break in.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The unique hinge system that helps prevent a crease in the screen is apparently the source of a creak on my review unit.
Angela Lang/CNET
But here’s what Motorola told me about the Razr and its sound. “Its dynamic clamshell folding system is comprised of several moving parts including: a flexible OLED display module, metal support plates and a state-of-the-art hinge system. When folding and unfolding Razr, you may hear a sound, which is natural from the mechanical movement of the phone. Razr has undergone rigorous durability testing, and the reported sounds in no way affect the quality of the product.”
How bad is this sound? It’s not “record skip” loud, but it’s not great either. If I bought this phone, I’d think something was wrong and want to swap it.
Does the screen have a crease?
Not like the Galaxy Fold ($1,980 at Best Buy), no. In fact, Motorola designed a special hinge that allows the display to stay curled when closed and therefore prevent a permanent crease.
When I watch a video, I can make out the edges of the steel plates used to reinforce the back of the screen and keep it taut in the open position. The middle of the screen doesn’t have this backing. Imagine covering the seat cushions of a couch with a taut bed sheet and being able to make out the space in between the cushions. When I’m scrolling up and down, I can feel the void behind the middle of the screen. This doesn’t sour my experience. But it is a reminder of just how delicate the display is. 
Is the Razr durable?
This one’s tricky. Motorola released a video on how to care for the Razr that claims the “screen is made to bend; bumps and lumps are normal.” I haven’t encountered any bumps or lumps on the screen, but bumps and lumps are not normal. If you have a bump or lump on your body you should see a doctor.
Motorola Razr is a foldable flip phone like you’ve never seen before
See all photos
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the week I had the Razr, it survived snow, two airplane trips, half a dozen cabs, a hotel, various pockets, a backpack and a house with a cat. It also held up while being photographed and filmed in a variety of locations. One of the Razr’s features is its Zero Gap hinge, which has a gap about as thick as a playing card thick. Several times, I opened the phone to discover the interior screen covered in lint and dust. 
Its impossible for me to determine in a week whether the Razr will be durable in the long term. The only way to know is to use it for months on end. The Razr needs to build my trust in the same way the first smartphones and their glass screens had to.
Didn’t the Razr break in CNET’s fold test?
Yes and no. A colleague of mine tested how many times he could fold a Razr he had purchased. He stopped the test after the folding machine had trouble folding the phone. The Razr still worked and opened and closed, but there was something off behind the screen. I can’t speak to his results, but what I can say is that the review unit I used didn’t have any damage whatsoever after a heavy week of use.
In response to the fold test, Motorola said, “[The] Razr is a unique smartphone, featuring a dynamic clamshell folding system unlike any device on the market. SquareTrade’s FoldBot [the folding machine we used] is simply not designed to test our device. Therefore, any tests run utilizing this machine will put undue stress on the hinge and not allow the phone to open and close as intended, making the test inaccurate. The important thing to remember is that Razr underwent extensive cycle endurance testing during product development, and CNET’s test is not indicative of what consumers will experience when using Razr in the real world. We have every confidence in the durability of Razr.”
I should note that Motorola offers a decent warranty on the Razr. If your display has defects incurred during normal use, Motorola will repair or replace your devices for free. Otherwise, you can have displays replaced for $299.
The joy of the Razr’s flip
The Razr changed my relationship with my phone. When I’m bored on an ordinary slab-shaped phone, I find myself mindlessly scrolling through Twitter or Instagram. But on the Razr, I became more purposeful about what I did. The slight moment it takes to flip the phone open prevents me from constantly checking social media or “bored using” my phone.
The Razr begs to be used one-handed. After a day or so, I was able to open it with a whip-like flip and close it one-handed. But Motorola can go further optimizing the user interface. On the 6.2-inch tall screen, I often needed a second hand to change a setting or tap a button at the top of the screen. There’s a shortcut you can enable to shrink the display to make one-handed use easier, but that just adds another step to the process. You have to swipe on an angle to shrink the display, tap the button you couldn’t before and then tap again to enlarge the display.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Razr’s tall 6.2-inch screen can be a challenge to use one-handed, especially if you’re trying to reach for the top of the screen.
Angela Lang/CNET
I’m a big fan of Samsung’s One UI and One UI 2, which changes the way we interact with Android on a bigger screen. It’s especially aimed at making one-handed use easier. Motorola should re-envision Android’s UI for the Razr if it’s serious about allowing people to use the Razr with one hand.
When you hold it vertically, the Razr’s onscreen keyboard is more narrow than a typical phone. And yet, I found myself able to type faster two-handed. Swipe-style keyboards work fantastic one-handed on the Razr as well. Flip the phone horizontally and you now have a much wider keyboard.
Quick View is an outstanding way to interact with notifications
The outside display, called the Quick View display, is perhaps one of the biggest innovations on the phone. I found myself using it quite a bit to cycle through notifications, use Google Pay, trigger the camera and even dismiss emails. It was another way my normal phone behavior changed.
The 2.7-inch display sits under a piece of Gorilla Glass 3. When it’s not covered in fingerprint smudges, it looks absolutely premium. It works in two ways. When the phone is locked, it becomes a Peek Display and lets you view notifications. When you unlock the screen, you get additional access to a mini control panel (brightness, flashlight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and selfies) and you can interact with notifications. Tap and hold an icon for a quick peek at messages and notifications. It’s wonderfully discreet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Quick View display on the front gives you instant access to notifications. Just press and hold the icon to take a peek at the notification.
Angela Lang/CNET
If you tap, hold and swipe up on a notification or icon, you get more functionality. For example, if I get a new email message, I can tap the Gmail icon and slide it up to reveal the entire message as well as have the option to Archive or Reply.
Motorola should have gone further. I’m not looking for what Samsung did with the Galaxy Fold by making the entire phone usable via the external display. That’s too much. But there is more usefulness Motorola can mine out of the Quick View screen.
Also, some features could be more helpful. When I cooked dinner, I set a timer for seven minutes on the Razr. And when I checked the hourglass icon on the Quick View display, instead of showing me how much time was left, it just showed the word “timer.”
Tumblr media
Now playing: Watch this: Motorola Razr review: It’s a remarkable peek at the future…
12:22
The Razr’s folding screen: Lumps, bumps and all
The tall 21:9 aspect ratio of the interior screen is fantastic for watching films shot in a wide aspect ratio. It reminds of the slender displays on the Sony Xperia 1 and Xperia 5. The Razr’s display quality is good. Colors pop nicely and the contrast is crisp without looking overly sharp. The display has a notch which houses an earpiece speaker and camera for video chats. The actual notch is shaped a bit like Motorola’s batwing logo.
I watched Blade Runner and The Dark Knight at their original widescreen aspect ratio filled the Razr’s screen end-to-end. The majority of videos you’re going to watch, however, will likely be in a 16:9 ratio and leave big black bars on the left and right side of the screen. You can zoom in, but that will cut off a lot of the video.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The entire screen slides ever so slightly behind the raised chin when you open the phone.
Angela Lang/CNET
The bottom of the screen is curved like the original Razr. Sadly, most apps don’t take advantage of the full screen and instead there’s frequently a gray void at the bottom. This area seems to be crying out to be used.
When you open and close the phone, the display slides up and down (millimeters) behind the raised chin. The chin looks a little dated at first: It’s one of the design features that makes it “feel” like an old Razr. But it has a purpose beyond mere nostalgia. It houses the phone’s antennas and makes for a great grip when you watch videos horizontally.
I tried using two apps in split-screen mode on the tall display, but again usability means you need to use both hands to reach the top app.
The Razr’s small and mighty battery… so far
There are two batteries, one on either half of the Razr, which offer a combined 2,510 mAh of power. While I still have more battery tests to run, I was able to run a looped video test done in airplane mode at 50% brightness. The Razr lasted a respectable 13 hours, 3 minutes. For comparison, the Moto G7 and its 3,000-mAh battery lasted 12 hours, 51 minutes in the same test.
In daily use, the Razr got through most of a day, but I found myself having to plug in around dinner time to top it off. I’m interested to see how it fares in a more normal week of use instead of during a review week.
The Razr has a Snapdragon 710 processor and 6GB of RAM. I ran it through several performance tests where it fared as well as the Google Pixel 3A, Samsung Galaxy A50 ($230 at Amazon) and 2018 Huawei Honor 10. See the results below.
3DMark Slingshot Unlimited
Note:
Longer bars indicate better performance
Geekbench v.4.0 single-core
Note:
Longer bars indicate better performance
Geekbench v.4.0 multicore
Note:
Longer bars indicate better performance
In everyday use, sometimes an app would hesitate to open like the camera. It’s just not as peppy as you’d hope. I was able to play a few games on the Razr, including Alto’s Odyssey and PUBG Mobile. The phone got warm instantly during PUBG, and occasionally stuttered during game play. The Razr handled editing photos and videos well.
All said, Motorola found a good power-to-performance ratio with the Razr. Of course it would be great if it had a stronger processor and even more battery life, but it’s all about striking a balance.
1 camera that’s just OK
There are two cameras, but in reality you’ll mainly use the 16-megapixel camera with an f1.7 aperture that doubles for selfies and the rear camera. It’s decent, but isn’t at the level of the Pixel 4, iPhone 11 ($699 at Apple) or Galaxy Note 10. Photos taken in good light are sharp with impressive contrast. But as soon as you’re in medium-to-low light things start to fall apart. Without optical image stabilization, the Razr compensates with a longer shutter speed, which leads to motion blur. Video is there. It’s fine. No one will be making a film for Netflix with the Razr.

This was taken in O’Hare airport in Chicago. The lighting was mixed. Overall details are soft, but the Razr’s HDR did a good job handling the scene.

Like other Motorola phones, the camera has AI scene detections that optimize the camera for different subjects such as food, moon and night scenes. Night Vision offers an improvement over regular photos taken in low light, but it’s still not on par with night mode on a phone like the iPhone 11, which costs half the price.
The camera doubles as a rear camera when the phone is open and a selfie camera when the phone is closed. I honestly don’t mind the fact that there’s a single main camera. I just wished it was better, especially knowing what Motorola’s One line of phones and cameras are capable of.
The second camera has a 5-megapixel sensor that’s located above the interior display. But it’s mainly meant for video chats. You can take selfies with it, but the quality isn’t as good as the main camera. That said, the second camera has a wider field of view, which makes it easier to frame selfies.
Buttons are important
There’s a fingerprint reader located on the raised chin below the main screen. When the phone is folded shut, it sits flush with the Quick View display. Above the fingerprint reader is an onscreen home button that you can use with Moto Actions. It would be great to be able to use One Button Nav directly on the fingerprint button like you could on the Moto G5 Plus. It seems odd reaching over the fingerprint reader to tap and swipe the home button.

The buttons are well-placed considering they have to suit both the open and closed positions of the Razr.
Angela Lang/CNET
Motorola faced a challenge finding a position for the volume rocker and sleep-wake button that works both when the phone is open and closed. They seem to be in a good location, but the buttons are tiny and sometimes hard to distinguish despite the wake button’s texture.
When the phone is closed, the buttons are difficult to find without looking for them. I wish they had more travel or felt more clicky.
Random Razr ruminations roundup
It’s exclusive to Verizon in the US and EE in the UK (at least for now). It’s AU$2,699 in Australia.
There’s no SIM card, just an eSIM.
The Razr comes with 128GB of storage and there isn’t an option for more.
It lacks a slot for expandable storage.
It has Verizon bloatware. It’s 2020, why is bloatware still a thing?
It launches with Android 9.0 Pie and is expected to receive at least one Android OS upgrade.
The bottom speaker array is loud, but quality is average. It points down instead of at you.
There is no official IP rating for water and dust resistance, but it does have a nanocoating for splashes.
Be on the lookout for the Retro Razr keyboard. Make sure your volume is up when you launch it.
When you take a picture of a person, the Razr has a cartoon face on the Quick View display.
Motorola Razr vs. Samsung Galaxy Fold
Both the Galaxy Fold and Razr have folding displays, but they couldn’t be more different. The Razr is a fun two-seat convertible while the Galaxy Fold is a giant SVU packed with everything you could want and more.
The Razr turns a 6.2-inch phone into something pocketable. The Fold takes a small tablet and folds it into a thick but tall phone. You need two hands to use the Fold and one for the Razr. The Fold has premium specs and six excellent cameras. The Razr has two cameras, but really it’s just the one on the outside that you’re going to use.

The Razr is on the left and the Galaxy Fold is on the right. Two very different takes on a phone with a foldable screen.
Angela Lang/CNET
Samsung took a Galaxy S10 and turned it into a folding phone. Motorola took a midtier phone and turned it into a clamshell filled with nostalgia. The outer screen on the Razr is small but is more thoughtfully implemented. It doesn’t try to do too much and instead provides a minimal way to interact with notifications, controls and responses without having to open your phone.
The Galaxy Fold’s exterior display is awkwardly proportioned for its size and tries to do too much. The screen actually has the same 21:9 ratio of the Razr’s interior screen, but it’s almost too small to be useful. On the Fold, you can open nearly all Android apps on the outside and use them.
The Galaxy Fold costs $1,980 and the Motorola Razr is $1,499. 
Motorola Razr vs. the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
On Tuesday at the Samsung Unpacked event in San Francisco, the Galaxy Z Flip debuted which also has a flip phone design with a foldable screen. The Razr and Galaxy Z Flip have as much in common, like their tall 21:9 ratio screens, as they do different, like the fact that Motorola’s foldable screen is plastic while Samsung uses a piece of ultra-thin glass. The Razr costs $1,499, while the Z Flip costs $1,380. In terms of specs, the Z Flip has a more powerful processor, two rear cameras, Android 10, a bigger battery and twice the storage. The Razr uses an eSIM and is sold as an exclusive on Verizon. The Z Flip has a SIM card and can be bought on any major US carrier.
They are roughly the same size, but the Razr feels heavier. When closed, the Z Flip has a square shape that mimics a Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP. When opened, the Z Flip has a taller 6.7-inch OLED screen while the Razr has a 6.2-inch display.
