Yeah that's the rumours but seems pretty quite... Haven't been following along too much so maybe I've missed something. If OnwardMobility hits their marks (reasonably priced and camera's aren't BB's of old) just might be tempted. Not really a PKB type of person but did enjoy the BB Android...

If a device is "cheap" then my expectations of support is far less. My reasoning for dropping down a few rungs as was getting fed up paying the big $ only to be greeted with subpar support, yeah my bad for devices we had chosen. Still own an LG, couple of Huawei's and a Pixel, all in the history...

Agreed pretty good alright... Kinda makes up for the KEY2 & LE getting stiffed on their one-letter upgrade.

Sorta wish we had of sprang for an Essential Phone but it's woes I was hearing about kept holding me off. Yeah gotta agree Google's Pixel haven't lived up to expectations for me either, IMHO one of their biggest problems is doing "what Google wants" rather than listening to consumer wants. In...

Could be I am just hallucinating due to being cooped up for over a year due to covid yet likely not.

Ah the Essential Phone remember that one well especially when Andy provided it with an unexpected level of support (2-years OS/3-years monthly security patches). Almost grabbed one myself through Telus (yes they also sold it) when they dropped their price to $460 (originally $1050) but just...

That's the concerning part for me "not being available in Canada". Not because it's a Pixel but for the fact over the past several months there's been quite a few new offerings, from various OEM's, not making their way here. I've lost count now how many times a new release has sparked my...

For a frequent user's subscription pricing is probably worthy but for those who are casual, not so much. Too bad Android didn't offer something similar to Apple's "free" iMovie as that'd be good enough for me.

Hum yeah I must have an in then as can produce at SD, HD, FHD and even Ultra HD (4K) via PowerDirector or ActionDirector, also have various bitrates/frame rates to choose from along with many other features (w/o any fees). GoPro app is way too limited IMHO. The good old days where free gave...

Strange never ever seen that before! Is there no basic or just the choice for premium? Been using Cyberlink on my mobile devices for years so maybe I'm grandfathered in dunno, don't even recall paying a one-time fee. Also use their stand-alone software on PC's (paid) and that's been for years...

Been awhile since I've followed along with video editing apps but yeah subscriptions seem to be a big thing now, which I'm not a fan of either. Right now I'm relying on Cyberlink's ActionDirector. It gives me most of the basic features I need for free (trim, crop, filters, transitions, music...

Interesting video alright but the rumoured $2800 CAD price tag leaves it just there... 108th try sweeper/2-years isn't a broom I want to spend that kind of money on LOL.

What I think about most... 1) How ridiculous pricing for some smartphones has gotten. 2) Device support (updates) on the Android front which is STILL very much hit-n-miss with many OEM's. 3) New devices - too often too many.

I doubt you'd see enough of a cost savings to warrant the device with the lesser aesthetics, as in the smartphone world user's have become infatuated with the beauty end of things... Even if they adorne their device in a case.

I bought the Moto G7 here in Canada earlier this year because it had appeal due to specs and price. After owning for awhile I soon became a big fan of Motorola, and because of that decided we'd jump on the G Power since price/specs were better, and its 5000 mAh battery kept calling me LOL. In...
