      It is never up-to-date and lags months behind chromium releases. As of today. The last update was on Aug 13 2023. April 24 2024. It’s currently Oct 2 2024. I would steer clear if anyone is still using it today. Firefox is much better.

        You mean Kiwi browser ? Last update on both GitHub and Google Play was on April 2024

        I’m using Fennec now and it’s so buggy

      It’s not foss but I’m pretty happy with Vivaldi. You can try waterfox or iceraven though

        Tried it many times before but it consumes more resources than brave , especially internet data

    I watched a couple of webinars this week on assistive tech. I had used Look to Speak before, but just learned about Activity Blocks. Also, you can apparently use Google lens on text for difficulty reading cursive or fonts, zoom in, and text to speech (though i can’t get that one to work for me.)

    Anyone else feel the pain of trying to get a decent upper midrange smartphone which either has 12GB of ram, sdcard support and/or internal storage higher than 256GB in a decent price?

    Many OEMs like nothing which I would’ve considered are obsessed with 128GB - 256GB of fixed internal storage.

    If you can’t provide a 512GB -1TB option in decent price range. Add support for sdcard storage. It can’t be that hard to do so.

        What about it? It also lacks sdcard support and is fixed at 128/256gb storage options.

            It’s old, expensive, and not available anymore. Plus, has the same 128/256 storage issue – atleast the listings I checked in my region.

              The 2 is not that old, just 1 year old. It comes at 512 if you check the official site

                Sorry, for late reply. Apparently, due a server configuration issue. Lemmy.world posts and replies were not syncing to reddthat.

                Anyway, I just re-checked and my local marketplace was showing the 12GB/256GB variant as not deliverable. I checked in storage option on site, and the 512GB variant was hidden inside. Changing to that made the option available.

                So, I could’ve bought this phone. I will consider the future phone 3a/4a or phone 3/4. Thanks for helping.

    Now that Xiaomi is making it nearly impossible to unlock bootloader on my phone because it refuses to accept whatever number I provide , Shizuku is probably my last solution… tbh I don’t find it worthy for them to try forcing me to stay on their software: my phone is old and outdated , and I don’t use most of the bloatware they put on the device
