I've learned something about myself. And Happy Spring!

Ok, I sort of knew this, and it’s not always applicable, but…I do better blogging sitting up at a desk or a table than in bed with my laptop propped on my knees. I’ve said it, it’s out there. When I’m sitting in a chair, I’m more focused, when I am laying or lounging in bed, I don’t seem to focus as well and let my mind wander, which is a good thing for me, that’s where I get my inspirations…

People just don’t talk about phablets anymore. Is this because the phablet is dead? No! Infact every phone is a phablet these days so it is no longer something to remark on.

I have a Samsung that's a couple years old that Wikipedia calls a phablet due to its heft and scale (compared to new phones its average).

And let me tell you. What used to be this neat, if a little cumbersome device has become larger in my hands.

Or rather, my hands have got smaller. Thinner fingers, palms, fingernails and smoother skin.

This dang thing now slides out of my grip almost daily, and it's gotten to the point that I can't reliably use 1 hand all the time.

Estrogen is so surreal sometimes. Who's phone is this? These hands are mine but the phone is clearly meant for someone else.

[doberbutts]

I know a lot of people like to hate on phablets but having a larger phone like the Note series has actually been phenominal for me and my hand tremor because there's more margin for error when I use it

Hi! Has anyone altered your skirts like professionally? Any advice? I was in between sizes and ordered up to be safe. But now if I put anything into the beautiful pockets (like my 2 switchs and my phablet and my kindle) it falls down! (I can fit all that in the pockets but I can't even put just my keys in it without them falling off) so I clearly should not have sized up. So I wanted to go and get them altered by a professional place but don't want to mess them up.... any suggestions? I also don't want the pockets to end up out of place. Thank you for your time! I ordered more today in the right size but still want my other ones too! Lol.

i can't speak on professional altering since i've personally never had it done to any of our skirts or know of anyone who has, but i will say that it's probably a semi-expensive option. for something cheaper and simpler, i would recommend waistband tighteners!

i understand why it's called a phablet now. my tablets screen is only slightly bigger than my phones

[doctorjuvenile]

so for starters I'm usually 10 years late to playing AAA games so I'm often a few beats behind pop cultural moments

but anyways, I bought Far Cry 4 at the only video rental store in my town, and I'm loving it. I have never played a Far Cry before. and in many ways I think playing this game (which takes place in 2015) in the year 2024 is really timely

In general I've been pretty nostalgic and wistful about the late 00s~2010s, obviously while we were in it we didn't like it, but it sure seems like simple times compared to now (covid broke something we can't fix)

(also even though i'm canadian, i also often refer to this as the obama-era because his administration overlaps completely with when i was 12~20 years old, so my teen years. again, simpler times)

ANYWAYS getting back to FC4, you play the game and you hear references to "President Obama," Kanye's twitter, Dennis Rodham's visit to North Korea, etc.

The thing about being at the close of 2024 now is that we are halfway through this very-uncertain-and-tense decade, and the 2010s are still obviously modern and recent in our thoughts (unless you happen to be very young rn). I'm like the same age as Ajay as I play this, and I remember the entire decade very well. Technology had gotten pretty advanced -- in-game there are loot items like phablets, cryptocurrency drives, etc and on a technical level the game still looks very good imo. The only thing that dates it, as with any media that came before 2019, is the fact that it came out before covid.

idk why i'm writing this post out i just have like thoughts to put down on paper I guess. i'm very impressed with the game thus far and am excited for the rest (i also have been spoiled about how everyone starts degenerating; i did immediately go for the secret ending when i began, after all). and a little 2010s nostalgia brainrot.

Nostalgic for the Pacemaker? Well this is one instance where stuff has actually gotten way better since, only most people didn't actually notice, or knew of the origin context to appreciate it. I remember one time how Pioneer fanboys used to talk smack on Tonium's 'Pacemaker' DJ device all the time, saying that it will never replace professional CDJ's. To which I thought, 'no shit', but that wasn't the point of the Pacemaker DJ device. What the Pacemaker device essentially did, was take the dedicated two turntable metaphor DJ setup, and condense it into a pocket sized device that pretty much allowed you to create fully professional sounding DJ sets, anywhere, and anytime. It had a battery that allowed it to run for 3 hours without mains power ( the average length of a DJ set), that allowed you to potentially bang out a fully professional sounding DJ set using it, but despite what the pocket sized DJ device could do, those that feared it would constantly say it was 'nothing but a toy' that will never replace CDJ's. It was never meant to, but if the kids wanted badly enough to party, they would simply use what ever means they had that allowed them to knock out professional sounding DJ sets, just like back in the day when someone thought using vinyl turntable to beat match records together to create a seamless DJ set was a good idea, although the technics turntables weren't actually specifically designed for that purpose, but Tonium's Pacemaker DJ device is. Back in the day when raves, house parties, and illegal warehouse parties were happening, DJ's could have only dreamed of something like the Pacemaker DJ device, since there's no heavy records to carry where it's 120GB was ample to store thousands of records worth of tunes, and there were no heavy vinyl turntables to carry/transport either, meaning that it your illegal shin dig got busted, you could be out of there in no time with your pocket sized DJ device. It had built in stereo headphone monitors that were independent of the stereo line outputs too. Admittedly it did take somewhat of a learning curve to become accustomed to it, but most enthusiastic users would have been able to bang out a professional sounding DJ set on it within the hour of having hands on with it, and sure, it was a little more fiddly to use that a CDJ, or vinyl turntables, which for those that went out, and ordered one as a pre-release device was something that wasn't an issue, and/or they didn't really give a crap about if you were one of those enthused people that actually bought one back then. Sure, it was never going to replace CDJ's, but like I sad, that wasn't the point.

Eventually Tonium's Pacemaker DJ device was then officially, and exclusively brought to the Blackberry Playbook, for the Pacemaker DJ project to finally come to close in its final form on the final Blackberry OS device before they completely switched to running Android on Blackberry devices instead. (I nearly forgot that the Pacemaker DJ app saw its final place exclusively on the IPad).

Since then though, it seems Pioneer have made an official free mobile DJ app for both Android, and iOS (that doesn't require a paid subscription to use!) that is essentially close to what the final form of what the Pacemaker DJ device should have become, where the software and interface is now highly optimised to a pocket sized phablet device that everyone (nearly everyone) owns. It's also possible to use Pioneer's WeDJ app with an external DJ controller too, which I'm guessing Pioneer would more than likely hope you would use one of their Pioneer DJ controllers with.

I must not pick up my stupid fucking phablet. Picking up the brick phone is the wrist killer. The awkward and heavy phone is the RSI causer that brings total obliteration. I will face my big dumb phone. I will permit the instict to pick it up pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the want to hold it has gone there will be nothing. Only the phone resting safely on a flat surface so I can interact with it will remain...

Top Features to Look for in the Best Smartphones

Introduction to the Best Smartphones

In today's fast-paced digital world, smartphones have become essential tools that connect us to the world, provide entertainment, and enhance productivity. With rapid advancements in technology, the market is flooded with a plethora of smartphones, each boasting unique features and innovations. Identifying the best smartphone requires understanding various aspects that influence performance, usability, and value. This article provides an in-depth exploration of critical factors to consider when choosing the best smartphone, helping you make an informed decision tailored to your needs.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Smartphone

Selecting the ideal smartphone depends on a balanced evaluation of several key features. These features not only affect the device's day-to-day functionality but also influence how future-proof your investment is. The main elements to consider include display quality, processing power, camera capabilities, battery life, operating system, pricing, and brand reliability. Each of these components plays a vital role in defining user experience and satisfaction.

Display Technology and Screen Size

One of the most noticeable elements of any smartphone is its display. Screen size and technology significantly impact the viewing experience.

Screen Size

Smartphone screen sizes typically range from compact models around 5.5 inches to larger phablet devices exceeding 6.7 inches. Smaller screens are ideal for users seeking portability and one-handed use, whereas larger displays offer enhanced viewing for multimedia, gaming, and productivity tasks.

Display Technology

Common display technologies include LCD, OLED, and AMOLED. OLED and AMOLED displays are known for their vibrant colors, deeper blacks, and energy efficiency, making them a favorite for premium smartphones. High refresh rates of 90Hz or 120Hz are increasingly prevalent, providing smoother scrolling and improved responsiveness.

Performance and Processor Capabilities

The performance of a smartphone hinges heavily on its processor and RAM. The processor, often referred to as the chipset, executes tasks ranging from app launches to gaming and multitasking.

High-end smartphones typically feature the latest processors from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series, Apple’s A-series chips, or Samsung’s Exynos processors. These offer robust performance, efficient power consumption, and advanced AI capabilities. Adequate RAM (6GB or more) ensures seamless multitasking and smooth operation of resource-intensive applications.

Camera Quality and Photography Features

Mobile photography has become a decisive factor for many smartphone buyers. Cameras vary in sensor quality, lens versatility, software enhancements, and additional features.

Modern smartphones often come equipped with multiple rear cameras, including wide-angle, ultra-wide, telephoto, and macro lenses. High megapixel counts, optical image stabilization, night mode, and AI-powered enhancements contribute to better picture quality. Front-facing cameras are equally important for selfies and video calls, with many devices featuring high-resolution sensors and portrait modes.

Battery Life and Charging Options

Battery longevity is crucial for uninterrupted smartphone use. Battery capacities have generally increased, with many devices now featuring batteries ranging from 4000mAh to over 5000mAh.

In addition to capacity, fast charging technologies allow users to recharge their phones quickly, minimizing downtime. Some smartphones support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, enabling convenient power sharing with other devices.

Operating Systems and User Experience

The operating system (OS) significantly shapes the overall user experience through interface design, app ecosystem, and customization options.

Android

Android is an open-source platform offering extensive customization and compatibility with a wide range of devices. It supports a vast app library through Google Play Store and allows users to personalize their devices extensively.

iOS

Apple’s iOS is praised for its streamlined interface, timely updates, and robust security features. The tightly integrated hardware and software environment results in a smooth, reliable user experience with exclusive access to Apple’s ecosystem.

Choosing between these OS options depends on personal preference, ecosystem commitments, and specific usage requirements.

Price Ranges and Value for Money

Smartphones are available across a broad price spectrum, from budget-friendly options to premium flagship models.

Budget smartphones provide essential features suitable for basic communication and casual use. Mid-range devices tend to offer a balance of performance and features at a more accessible price point. Flagship smartphones deliver cutting-edge technology, superior build quality, and extensive feature sets but come at a higher cost.

Evaluating value for money involves comparing specifications, build quality, software support, and brand reputation relative to the price.

Popular Smartphone Brands

Certain brands consistently lead the smartphone market due to their innovation, reliability, and strong customer support.

- Apple: Known for its premium iPhone lineup, Apple emphasizes seamless integration, user privacy, and high resale value.

- Samsung: Offers a diverse range of smartphones, from affordable to high-end, featuring advanced displays and versatile cameras.

- Google: Renowned for its Pixel phones, which provide a clean Android experience and exceptional camera performance.

- OnePlus: Popular for delivering flagship-level specifications at competitive prices.

- Xiaomi: Known for feature-rich phones with aggressive pricing, appealing to budget-conscious buyers.

These brands continue to invest heavily in research and development to stay ahead in the competitive smartphone landscape.

Future Trends in Smartphone Technology

The smartphone industry is continually evolving, with emerging trends shaping the future of mobile devices.

- Foldable and Flexible Displays: Devices with foldable screens are gaining traction, offering expanded screen real estate without compromising portability.

- 5G Connectivity: 5G technology is becoming standard, promising faster internet speeds and improved network reliability.

- AI and Machine Learning: Enhanced AI capabilities improve photography, voice recognition, and device optimization.

- Augmented Reality (AR): Integration of AR features is opening new possibilities for gaming, shopping, and education.

- Improved Battery Technology: Ongoing research aims to extend battery life and reduce charging times even further.

Keeping an eye on these future developments will help consumers choose devices that remain relevant for years to come.

Conclusion and Final Recommendations

Choosing the best smartphone requires a thorough understanding of personal needs, preferences, and budget constraints. Prioritizing key features such as display quality, processor performance, camera capabilities, and battery life ensures a satisfying user experience. Additionally, selecting a reputable brand and considering future technology trends can maximize the longevity and versatility of your investment.

Whether you prioritize photography, gaming, productivity, or everyday connectivity, there is a perfect smartphone to match your lifestyle.
