Here’s a $1,000+ phone that supports fast charging with USB-C but urgh… the fast charger doesn’t come in the box… but you probably won’t have a USB-C charging brick so we’ll sell you one

Phone (2) is finally here and I've got so much to say on this phone soon!
I've been really impressed with many parts of it and I absolutely love the design language, the glyphs and the camera! Great job

I used to work next to a McDonald's and there was a homeless guy outside my store. Any money that he got from selling a homeless magazine (Big Issue in the UK) or from passers-by went to feeding his dogs. We ended up buying him a meal every day. Goes such a long way
Another great example of the

#GalaxyS20Ultra
Space Zoom! I legit can't see the MetLife building name with my own eyes, at least without really squinting!
Ultra wide, 10X, 30X, 100X. Rested on a ledge for stability at higher zoom. 100X pretty impressive!
In November I weighed 245 lbs when I had my heart attack. Today I weighed in at 218.4 which is under 100kg, the target I've had for nearly 10 years. Not a bad start to 2021!
I stupidly bought the 64GB iPhone SE thinking I’d probably just return it or keep it in the drawer. I’m at 61GB used, and really regretting not getting larger storage as there’s a 3 week wait and I love this damn thing. Thank you for listening to my monologue about phone storage

Went to Dubai for 3 weeks. Ended up eating so much crap yet came back 15 pounds lighter .

My
@madebygoogle
#Pixel9
review is a couple of days away, as I have a lot of thoughts, but here's the TL;DR:
This is the best phone that Google has ever made, and it's finally converted me. It's the best regular-sized phone ever made! 🔥🔥🔥
Whether it works or not, this is type of player we want. Someone who appears to love the club. Not someone motivated by money/with a chip on their shoulder like many of our signings recently.

@Apple
#iPhone13mini
, the best small phone ever made and honestly, the best iPhone for many ppl imo.
Better battery life, outstanding hardware and the perfect form factor mean I love this. Like a lot. More than my
#iPhone13Pro
.
Here's why!
I’m super excited for the
#GalaxyS23
in two weeks! Latest leak suggests these are the specs:
- 200MP camera in the Ultra
- 12MP Ultrawite, 2x telephoto offering up to 10X optical zoom
- 6.8-inch OLED, 120Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
Are you excited?
Happy Friday everyone! Some news!!
Excited to announce that I've joined the team at
@xdadevelopers
@Pocketnow
and
@backyardboss
as Chief Content Officer.
We have some incredibly exciting plans and can't wait to share them all with you!!
I don't care about a supposed smaller notch on the new iPhone. Face ID is great and everything but what's the point when it's impossible for it to recognize me with a mask on? I need a bloody Fingerprint sensor again!
It's finally here! Unboxing coming shortly, finally managed to set up the

Many many thoughts to come. First impressions:
- I like the hardware but really dislike the button placement on the right
- I like the software more than I thought would.

#Key2
is good at a few different things but I'm absolutely loving the battery life. Didn't see this one coming but pleasantly surprised and I could get used to this. Second best flagship battery of the year.
Making some desk changes and probably my favorite little addition. I am really enjoying the
@SamsungMobileUS
wireless charger duo pad. Versatile beyond belief - if only the Apple Watch wasn't so finicky (it doesn't work).
Stay tuned for the review tomorrow on
@xdadevelopers
but I love the
#iPhone13mini
. In fact, I love it so much I'm thinking of returning my
#iPhone13Pro
and canceling my iPhone Upgrade Program. The mini has made the Pro too unwieldy in the hand.

review will be out on Monday on

but let me just say this - the zoom is the real deal.
Forget the moon, check out these two wide and 100x examples of day and night! Simply mind boggling and all captured by hand, no tripod.

Well, I'm converted. Gestures on the Z Flip and

are incredible!

This is seriously wild. I'm glad you woke up tho, girlfriend, and told people (the internet) what you learned today (that some people be batshit crazy) 🤣

to zoom into me.
Also good example of zooming in a video.

5G. One 15 min phone call later, it's so hot that she can't even touch it. Yeah Samsung has a biiig problem with overheating, we'll see if the Note 20 is the same but this phone got scary hot.

Yeah it absolutely broke me.
It was a very posh area of London and he was the sweetest man ever. He would help everyone before himself and numerous times would take what little money he had and buy other people things like food (or even one time an umbrella).
I remember this
I’m ashamed to be British with the way people are treating Saka, Sancho and Rashford. England has some BIG problems with being racist towards folks who should be national heroes. It’s all perpetuated and exacerbated by the giant tosser media baron that is Rupert Murdoch.
Any graphic designers looking for some work? Need two sets of branding including logos and channel art to be created with a quick turnaround. Dm or reply with portfolio and examples thanks!
For two weeks, I've been in hospital (aside from a two day stint in the middle) thanks to a physical therapist who caused severe c spine issues. I've lost feeling in one side of my body more times than I can count but thankfully surgery on Thursday will hopefully fix it.
Time for an unpopular opinion no doubt but the
#Pixel6Pro
is just still meh to me. Camera is great but I have always disliked Google’s UX implementation and this is the same with Android 12. Give me the Pixel hardware and OneUI any day and I’ll be happy. Going back to Fold 3.

The chance to work with so many talented individuals was just too good to turn down!! Going to be some great things coming ahead and can't wait to share them with you!

@SamsungMobileUS
has some SERIOUS competition in both categories.
Are its new devices good enough? What's new? And are they worth the 💵💵💵? I spent 2 hours with them last week... here are my thoughts 🧵🧵👇
For the past two years, we’ve been working on crafting and perfecting our next gen of reviews.
This week, we’re conducting final testing for
#BestOfAndroid
using the new process as we look to definitively crown the best flagship Android smartphone!
Stay tuned! ;-)

They say that all good things must come to an end and that some opportunities are just too good to pass up.
With that said, the next few days are my last with

In this thread, I want to say thank you & share some highlights.
The next few weeks are going to be interesting - this is the

#GalaxyNote20Ultra
and I've got an Exynos one coming. It's not a question of is the Exynos inferior, more an attempt to understand just how much more inferior it is. Stay tuned for lots!
@SnazzyQ
Its iStat Menus. An app that you and I both know can be buggy af dude at the best of times. Yeah it will be fixed in a future update but it’s not as huge a deal as you say imo
Full write up coming on a day or two but I spent some time with the TCL foldable and rollable concept devices.
Tl;dr - they're not likely to become consumer devices but lordy I hope they do. The rollable especially could be the best 'new' take on a foldable/flexible phone.
So they say that everything good / bad must eventually come to an end. With that in mind, some personal news: I’ve now left

The past 2.5 years have been the most thrilling challenge and experience of my life. Here’s a brief thread.....
Spinal fusion surgery is no joke. My esophagus was moved, shoulders pinned and both sides of neck cut. The result? Perpetual pain as the opioids no longer work. Im now lying in bed sleeping with 3 ice packs under different swollen body parts, but hey! I’m alive and kicking!

had his bag stolen in Paris. We’re raising money to help him replace his gear, shares and contributions would be amazing! Thank you!
She made it!! So glad this fine woman has finally arrived! We call her Momma G but she's also the greatest woman in the world and I love her to bits ❤️❤️

When I first got started in this industry, I worked 8 hours a day outside my job and all weekend.
A PR person also said I'd never make it as a "big brown guy in a slim white man's world". My family also said I'd never turn this into a career.
10+ yrs later, proved them wrong.

This is a REALLY stupid take. Only a complete moron is going to make major or even minor commit changes on a Friday, or in the evening on any other weekday.
Why? Respect for people means not asking them to be on-call 24/7 and planning commits for when there are max ppl on call.
