I recently treated myself to a OnePlus Pad 2 and that naturally meant a new home screen setup. I wanted to make it both visually pleasing and functional, so I worked with the stock OnePlus launcher instead of using something like Nova.

As big a sucker me, lol.

I bought my S20 FE to get away from OnePlus for a change. I've been looking to get a smartwatch, and decided I don't want a Mi Warch or anything that's a glorified fitness band, so realistically a Galaxy Watch was my only choice. It just so happened that the Watch 5 got released and Buds 2 (non-pro) were bundled for preorders of the watch.

Just like that my single Samsung device turned into three. Then I decided to get a tablet, and at that point it was obvious I'd get a Galaxy Tab, thus completing the Samsung ecosystem lock-in. This shit does work, especially the nearly seamless reconnecting of earbuds between phone and tablet. Not nearly as good as what I've seen Apple could do, but honestly, I'm happy.

And now whenever I think about a potential future phone upgrade, Samsung appears to be the best choice. Fuck me haha. Not that I don't enjoy those toys.

The ecosystem problem is true even if you don't use apple products. I'm in the same boat, everything's Samsung here, I'm scared to leave.

Not even gonna give this a click. Of course it's still q contender. It's the top of the line offering from the biggest Android OEM on the planet. It will be a contender 12 months from now and it will be a contender 24 months from now.

Hi Mishaal. Asking this for your future review.

  1. How's the vibration motor?
  2. How do you find the "gimmicky" Nothing cable, any quality concerns?
  3. General fingerprint reader experience
  4. Any issues with cellular reception/calls?

And these I believe you could answer before the embargo.

  1. Favorite feature of the Nothing OS 2.0
  2. How comfortable is it to use when laying in bed? Particularly when holding it above yourself and typing.
  3. How big of a difference does it make to use the entire glyph interface vs just the flashlight? Not just for the camera experience but like, looking for stuff under the bed etc. And how easy is it to use it like this (one toggle or digging deep in the settings)?

I mean it's in the second sentence of the article... Current Tensor chips are based on Exynos, and Google's end goal is an in-house designed one.
