Takes out battery to insert SIM and SDcard, is this 2012?
Its a made up criticism to make it look like the author is thorough, but it doesn't reflect a real use case. In two years using the FP4 in five countries, there has never been a single time where I wanted to swap SIM cards or eject a mounted SD card while the system is running. You do these things while the phone is powered down. It's an argument being made by an idiot.
Criticizing bezel sizes when people put their phones in protective cases; criticizing having to remove batteries to get to components that you only swap when powered down anyway; bitching about price to performance ratio like this isnt a phone designed to last half a decade; this is what techbro marketing shills, AI output, and other brainless NPCs do. Not quite as bright screen, no LTPO, who the fuck cares, nobody is comparing two phones outside under the sun in any sort of real life situation. You generally carry one phone, two if you have a job where you're on call, and you don't really choose the iPhone they give you for that so why would you compare brightness for two devices outside and use that as a reason to tell people not buy a phone? That's just not something real people do. You use one phone at a time. This review is not reflective of how people use phones. Its nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking. It's a worthless marketing review.
Android has supported hotswapping SIM cards and microSD cards for over a decade
You don't have to remove those doesn't mean everyone else want. Beside, LG G3/4 already have the ability to hotswap sim/sd card and still offer a removable battery. This is just outdated design choice
Hopefully. Let's get back to that.
Hope not because it's super inconvenient. They can do it like my LG G3, removable SD and Sim without removing the battery
Removable batter means you can replace the battery. Which also means you can keep it longer which means it’s better for the plant… ugh you probably don’t care if all you can think is huh duh it’s not like all the other phones.
You don't understand right?
and I don't have to remove the battery to insert/remove sim/sd card.
I do. It’s the opposite of left.
What an odd accusation!
So what's the point of your first comment? I simply point out an outdated design choice, it's not like I'm against removable battery. Or guess you realize you are too dumb to use google and have to go roundabout eh?
Im sorry I won’t converse with someone that thinks the best way to get their point across is to include insults.
Have a great day and try to be better.
He was completely right. It's really shameful to hide your head in the sand like this just because somebody used brusque language. Would it really kill you to just admit you got it wrong?
I got what wrong exactly?
Im sorry I won’t converse with someone that thinks the best way to "win" an internet slap fight is to deliberately misinterpret people and then play dumb.
Have a great day and try to be better.
Good day sir, maybe trying to brush up your google skill first before doing anything you don't understand
