The Motorola G54 walks all over these devices at $249

]]> Comment on The Nokia 3210 is back, and it didn’t come alone by AdamM https://ausdroid.net/mobiles/2024/05/15/the-nokia-3210-is-back-and-it-didnt-come-alone/#comment-170511 Wed, 15 May 2024 23:06:34 +0000 https://ausdroid.net/?p=669992#comment-170511 Whilst I love the idea of a feature phone, I suspect there is an opportunity for a similar device only with a great camera (not one that belongs in 2010) and maps.

]]> Comment on Google just dropped the Pixel 8a by securityblanka https://ausdroid.net/mobiles/2024/05/08/google-just-dropped-the-pixel-8a/#comment-170510 Mon, 13 May 2024 00:29:17 +0000 https://ausdroid.net/?p=669912#comment-170510 “Google just dropped the Pixel 8a” – I hope they had it in a case 😉 this should be the last of the “A” series phones, if rumours are to be believed. Waiting for the 9 series to “drop” with a Bellroy case.

]]> Comment on BlueAnt Soundblade Review — Stylish, modern and capable by JeniSkunk https://ausdroid.net/news/review/2024/04/17/blueant-soundblade-review-stylish-modern-and-capable/#comment-170509 Wed, 17 Apr 2024 21:31:01 +0000 https://ausdroid.net/?p=669824#comment-170509 Phil, a minor bug with this review, you didn’t include a photo of the remote.

Your setup with the SoundBlade is really nice looking. It fits in really well.

Unfortunately there’s no way for me to viably use the SoundBlade.
On my main desktop system, I use the HP E27d G4, 27in monitor which can rotate from landscape to portrait. There would likely not be enough clearance to rotate to portrait, with this soundbar.
As for trying to use it with my Lenovo IdeaPad C340 15.6in laptop ( Yes, I’m still using the one I bought following your 2019 review, and it still works great. ), there isn’t any spare space on the workstation desk I use, to setup this soundbar.

I need another battery to charge like I need a hole in the head. Not to mention the wild variations in Bluetooth audio quality and codec compatibility.

]]> Comment on Motorola announce new Moto G devices for Australian market by JeniSkunk https://ausdroid.net/mobiles/2024/03/22/motorola-announce-new-moto-g-devices-for-australian-market/#comment-170504 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 03:45:17 +0000 https://ausdroid.net/?p=669713#comment-170504 Lenovorola’s 3 latest sub-standard 720p devices inflicted on Australia.
Why you actively and positively promote the release of such sub-standard devices, instead of tearing strips off any mob that has the gall to dump such underpowered and outdated devices onto Australia, has me very puzzled.
