Did they remove the dumb, obnoxious and intrusive clipboard "prompt" that appears each and every damn time you copy text?

The same as it was a mistake not to start with hi res as soon as huawei, but now years later, it is the same mistake to think that copying apples set up is right too, not to mention not copying their quality hi res option.
With so many rivals doing miracles in smartphone photography, be it huawei, xiaomi or samsung, what else it can be called if not a lag. They dont have an OS or apps to sell, why copy apple so much, I would be even more satisfied if they made 3x 12mp, just seeing they do not make the same mistake as with a jack, which is BTW now redundant in this age of wireless connections and DACs in every device.
Feels just too much like iSony, though I still hope some excitement from alpha camera line will come though, not just some paper tigress, where I'm unable to see it better in comparison to like 50mp from s23u. Worlds apart.

No notification LED? Too bad... It was looking so appealing, but let's look elsewhere.

Also, w... moreI totally agree that the main camera should have an equivalent focal length of 35 mm and, inaddition to that, a variable aperture (e.g. f1.4 - 4.0).
The ZTE Axon has a main snapper with 35mm, however, the overall quality is nowhere near to what it takes to compete with current camera phone flagships.

Yes you can lost usb drive but still external storage for backup is more secure than card inside the phone which can be lost all together..
As for uhs - III mSD give any name of such card which can be boght easly.

Lwerewold, 12 May 2023Why exactly did they drop the notification LED? A periphera... moreYou are 100% right! It's a pity they dropped the notification Led, and of course it's because of cutting corners and 8ncreasing margins.
That being said, the notification LED isn't anymore what it used to be back in the day: back then, when people got maybe 3 calls and 2 emails per day, an LED was useful.
Nowadays, however, people get on average 20 WhatsApp, 10 Text messages, 5 calls, and 250 notifications from social media - so the notification LED is permanently blinking.

Oh sorry, most people aren't that entitled as you. Most of them are even still keep using five year old phone to this day. The last thing I want is not to lost all the files from the internal storage.

Anonymous, 12 May 2023Nice phone, but outdated design. Tell that to Apple that use the same notch design five generation. Heck, I take bezel over notch and punch holes all day long.

2. I also use USB-C drives, and they aren't that faster than microSD card.
3. Best of luck saying that for non high-end phones. For phones without native OTG support, you need to use an adapter.
4. I never use any card reader. I simply plug it i to my PC, and that's it.
I never use USB-C drive because it can easily get lost without notice, even if you put some lanyards. Having extra storage inside the phone gives me total security knowing that every file from my microSD card won't lost.

OTG is far more common these days than MicroSD, especially on higher-end phones.

Why exactly did they drop the notification LED? A peripheral glance from across the room to see if anything requires attention wasn't a good thing?
Sad, as it looks like an excellent phone otherwise.

Ev... more1 minute ? Nice. With USB i need 1 second to plug in. And whats you with these transfering between phones ? How often is it even necessary ? I change phone once in 1-2 years.
And even then mSD is not needed since still prefer to use convenient samsung switch for this because there is lot more to transfer than just photos when changing phone and app does it perfectly.
With samsung switch entire proces is as easy as putting twoją phones side by side.

Even if the two phones need tool, you would not still need more than 1 min to take it out and insert inside the second phone.
