Hah! She currently has a Samsung J model something. It's a functional smaller size smartphone. Works good for an older woman!

Kind of reminds me of the Jitterbug my Mom had for a while.

MIL had a Huawei P8 and liked it a lot. She actually hated the so called "senior phones".

Got my 8T today. 120hz screen is gorgeous, the camera seems awesome, and the phone is fast as hell. Form factor wise, it's exactly the same dimensions as my 7T, the screen has slightly more real estate, and the corners of the screen are slightly more rounded. Pretty happy with the phone overall.

yeah, the display is nuts. Not sure what to think bout the game-mode though. I also like the speaker

The speaker is a massive step-up from the 7T. I always felt it was too quiet, but this one can get pretty loud.

I'm so impressed with the 65watt charger. I have a bad habit of forgetting to charge my phone sometimes; I can throw it on the 65watt charger below 10%, and by the time I'm out of the shower and shaved, I'm at 85% or higher. It's fantastic. Overnight I use a slow charger as I've heard the high amperage/wattage of the fast chargers can degrade battery health.

I love this phone. The screen protector is definitely a pain to line up correctly due to the cut-out for the camera having glass wrapped around it. I went through 3 different protectors trying to line it up perfect. My OCD is partly to blame

The 65w charger can even charge my Macbook Pro, pretty solid overall. The stock MBP charger is only 61w.

Silent-Runner · Jan 19, 2021, 04:00 PM

the charger is insane, really.

Toying around with Evie Launcher and some Glass-Icon-Packs. It's a very highly customizable launcher for sure and lightning fast too. I've seen some cool looking widgets too, mainly interested in the ones where you customize the main "info block" (time, date, weather, location and so on).
