The review mentions floors at some point yet there is nothing about altimeter which isn't part of Charge 6. Charge 6 doesn't track floors nor elevation profile/gain.
The screen is small, but there is one nice feature - magnifier. With triple-tap it's possible to zoom in the screen and pan.
There is nothing about broadcasting HR to a gym equipment which is a newest addition to whole Fitbit family. Unfortunately, as everything Fitbit does, it's just half-baked and doesn't work with most of equipment like bike computers and standard gym equipment. It works with mobile phones, tablets and PC. Also, works with some modern treadmills and exercise bikes but don't expect the same behaviour as any other HRM. Disappointing.
Water lock is great but again, not implemented as it should. The bigger problem is exercising during rain, sweat and in general wet conditions. It's not possible to start exercise tracking and then enable water lock. I've been waiting for that feature considering how many times my Sense and Sense 2 paused during running and cycling because wet sleeve or raindrop touched screen. That makes water lock useless where it's needed the most.
There is a new option addressing accidental button presses in many Fitbit models - now, it's possible to disable haptic button. Nice addition. My Sense was driving me crazy at night vibrating because I accidentally pressed button while rolling over during sleep. On Charg 6, the button can be disabled when not needed and problem solved. Unlike water lock, this feature works during activities so no more accidental pause when doing pushups or by wearing gloves.
Fitbit Charge 6 Review: Comfortable and affordable, but one issue remains
These are cute, but not as scathing as Samsung's commercials used to be.
I think the problem for Google is that they've taken a huge credibility hit over the years, over many issues. From poor hardware, to intrusive monitoring, abandoned products, political meddling, and software bugs...it's all too much.
Apple is trying to give people a better PHONE; Google is leveraging AI for its ad business. Those cool AI features are for you, but more...for them. When they say you can use AI to "fix" people in group shots, they're neglecting to tell you that you don't really need that camera in the first place. Tell the AI who's in the "frame," the setting, and the location, and anything else you need in the prompt to get the "picture" you want, and voila! Photo perfection. Google already has all the data for it, and we gave it to them. "Free" storage. "Free" search. "Free" OS. right. 😏
Is it amazing? Meh; not to me. It's creepy as hell. I'd rather see a bad picture of myself, than one that never happened.
Anyway, that's why I, at least, can never go back to a pure Google product, and I think Apple's been pretty good about making the privacy case over the years. It's a different philosophy, and we need BOTH philosophies. That being said, Google will certainly expand its market share with their new phones.
Google makes fun of how Apple promotes the iPhone in new ad
Everything I know about being scammed, I learned from attempting to be scammed.
Phone scams in the US are on the rise, so here’s how to recognize and fight them
If it was propaganda it was quite muted, the actual comments on the phone were basically 'it looks pretty and you say it's good but I haven't tried it so who knows'. The comments about sanctions seemed a bit more suspect, but obviously they'd have been asked about that and I can believe some people would have those views (my own views are similar in fact). What probably did happen is that China Daily only showed the positive responses – it probably got some negative ones as well. Which I guess kind of makes it propaganda, but is also the sort of practice that lots of media all over the world is guilty of.
Does a video really show New Yorkers loving the Mate 60 Pro or is it CCP propaganda?
Motorola really knows how to make good affordable phones. Love the design and build quality
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo is here, vibrant and durable
Had one - great phone! Gave it to my sister when her Huawei mate 10 reached end of life (also a great phone) and she is still using it daily and says it works great! OnePlus makes very good phones. You will not go wrong if you try them out.
The OnePlus Nord N20, one of the best budget phones out there, is now even more budget-friendly on Amazon
