That's really good, but I somehow doubt it would stay $550 when they sell it in western countries.
It better be. The Nubia Z60 Ultra with an 8 Gen 3 apprently will be 679€ in Germany.
What about updates, bloatware, spyware? A little bit more important than 144 Hz for essentially everything but gaming.
I can see a lot of people putting lineageos on this and debloating it.
And probably slave labour
What's the use-case for 24GB of RAM on a phone?
Running Docker via Termux, idk
Just as a precautionary measure to open one chrome tab before installing Firefox.
You joke. But, firefox on android starts killing tabs when your system is under memory pressure. Where even chrome would keep your tabs alive. This is not an issue on high memory devices but is noticeable on low ram smartphones.
I've had over 100 tabs open on my Firefox on Pixel 6 for months now. What are you doing that you can't keep tabs open on Firefox?
Let's just say. Some Games, streaming, social media and general apps like tasker, samsung health, sleep as android, among others. Your pixel 6 has 8gigs of ram. my samsung had 6gigs of physical ram. It wasn't until I switched to a 12gb ram device the reload issue was mitigated (not solved).
The issue has been present since the fenix rewrite from 2020. Here's the issue from the github archive: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731#event-8105829420
That particular one is done as of October 2022. However, it looks like you are doing more intensive work on your phone than I am on mine. Perhaps I just lack imagination, but I never could figure out what I could do with tasker to improve my usage, and I understand what it can do. It's just my life apparently doesn't demand such solutions.
I personally never experienced the issues described in Firefox. Perhaps I was just lucky. I will say that Chromite is definitely snappier than Firefox. If you haven't tried it yet, take a look. It is chock full of privacy protecting features, too.

Actually, it's not. They just moved to bugzilla. Hers the open issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364

All chrome like browsers are fast. I was using bromite before it was abandoned. I have samsung internet as backup. But, I want my add-ons hence I continue to stick with fennec(Fdroid version of firefox). My current phone has 12GB of physical + 12GB of virtual ram. So, the tab reload issue is not that noticeable. But, I need to reload firefox when I toggle dark mode making that moot. The slowness I'm used to. Browsing the web without ublock I'm not.

It's nothing serious. Just some QOL improvements like turning on auto rotate when opening youtube, Netflix. Or turning on flight mode from 22:00 to 6:00, charging sounds to know when my phone starts charging, stops charging is fully charged
You can check taskernet for some projects: https://taskernet.com/?public&tags=Basics&time=AllTime Check the chop motion example for flashlight as an example: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Profile%3AChop+Motion+Flashlight+And+Others
Future proofing, I guess?
LLMs
Yes, we have apps like MLCchat, maid and sherpa to name a few. The experience is not seamless even with 12gb of ram.
It's annoying that they'll put 24GB of RAM on a phone, but theyre still selling $1000 GPU with 16GB
"Higher gee-bees equals more gooder. Number go up!" -typical phone buyer, probably
No SD card slot, no 3.5 mm jack.
What the hell are you doing with sd card slot when there is one 1 tb worth of space? Seriously the 3.5mm jack I get, but not sd card. The space in modern phone has never ended with me and if the point is to move file from device to another you can just use usb cable or cloud storage. There is no reason to put sd card on phones anymore when theres so much space in phones
BUT DOES IT HAVE A HUGE BATTERY? Nothing matters if it can't run two days.
If can be fully charged under 20mins or less. Why would 2days battery matter in this scenario?
Amplifying your logic a little, to make the point: A ten-minute battery life would also be no problem, as long as you are near a wall outlet.
But what if I'm camping? Traveling? Using the phone a lot on the go?
That's absurd reasoning. Most smartphones easily last a whole day and some more depending on usage. The 150w version has a 5200mah battery. It should easily last a wholevday and some more depending on your usage.
If you are going camping you would take a power bank with you, same with long distance travel. If you need a true 2 days no-compromise battery life. You would need a smartphone with at least a 6000mah battery. But, depending on your usage pattern even that won't guarantee 2 full days of extreme usage. I would rather have super fast charging vs regular slow (fast) charging with the same battery size.
Outside the Rog smartphone and perhaps a few midrange Samsung smartphones you do not have many options. So, it should be fine for most people.
You can consider this one with a 22000mah battery: https://m.ulefone.com/armor-24.html It should easily last a whole week.
