The launcher is, lets say you want to change brightness, you have to scroll down twice. Hrrrm..
Tp4 got the working-poor 8a edition, so the camera is meh. But Tp4 takes very few photos.
Screen quality, You know good and bad. It's very accurate, you can tell they're clamping the gamut hard. The draw back is, everything looks a bit dull like on ifones, they do the same thing, target accuracy. Samsung has that rainbow barf color mode, which Tp4 embarrassed to say enjoys on mobile.
Accuracy is not better in the majority of cases outside of photo apps.

My guess is they hope you gloss over it, and never turned them off, just thinking they were part of some app.

Soldering stuff like diodes or doing handwiring is a lot more daunting, to me at least but it seems that with enough practice that should be fine as well (but atm I'm still not that level I feel)
Thank you for the video recommendation! I've watched it just now, the lady made it seem very easy! I wonder if I'll get the hang of it quickly. Guess I'll have to find out!
Pangea keyboard will be south paw and ISO fellow human
Thank you! I've looked at them and they seem very promising! With that price tag, though, perhaps I'll buy a kit (if my wallet allows for it!) and keep it for an "endgame" build!
If I am not mistaken, it looks like the ISO version will only be available with a solder-only PCB (which would make sense, as I've observed that many solder-only PCBs allow for many different layouts at once), which at my current skill level would be quite a terrifying ordeal considering the value of such a 'board!

ah true didn't see that. I don't think I got any notifications that seemed like they were monitoring what I did, Just the standard stuff like notifying for security updates and like telling you to backup photos. Maybe it's because I didn't put the biometrics in. Wouldn't be surprised if google was monitoring people like that, they love that data.

I generally don't put those things on them, but that's superstition on my part, since both fingerprint and face id are both stored locally on the device from what I know, so they can't access that data remotely.Putting my comment from what's bothering you here as well.
