    I’m not happy with Honor and I will not buy another one. So much bloat, crap that connects to chinese servers and can’t be uninstalled or even disabled.

      So the Chinese Samsung.

      I really like Doogee phones, I just wish they didn’t have such a silly name.

        First time I’ve heard of this brand.

        8GB RAM, 256GB storage, big screen for ~€250 where I live. The CPU looks very weak, but acceptable for €250 price.

        The brand name doesn’t work that well, although it sounds worse in English than in other languages IMO.

            I’m not sure about as a power bank. It can do reverse wireless charging (QI) however.

            I actually use it almost entirely wirelessly now. It’s a faff to open the waterproof cover on the usb C each night.

              I’ve fallen onto wireless charging, too. I got a cheapo disc deally that’s next to my bed. And then got a car that had a wireless charger. It makes it easier when I’m changing music to not have to deal with a charge cord. The fact that it warms up when it’s charging makes me think it’s less efficient that a cord, tho’.

                My phone has an insane battery. I only have to charge it every couple of days, even when using android auto (via wireless adapter). My charger also includes a cooling fan, and can push 30W. It’s not as efficient, but it’s damn convenient.

    At some point I’d rather just carry a power bank when I go camping or something instead of carrying a huge phone daily

      I’ve never tested this hypothesis, but I would guess that a big-ass battery would remain useful after years of wear while a normal battery would need to be almost constantly plugged in. It’s one thing to plug in a power bank now and then, but if it effectively becomes a wired device that’s too much of a pain.

        I don’t know about all manufacturers but Sony and I think Samsung both allow you to limit max state of charge to 80%, I just hit 3 years on my device consistently using that feature, and haven’t seen much degradation yet.

            Sony’s is more In-Depth, .

            In what manner?

            I know Sony had originally contributed the battery saver to AOSP since that was not standard back then.

      Yeah a 75wh battery pack is plenty for a week of camping. And it saves carrying the weight daily.

      I dunno I’m seriously considering BlackView for my next phone the huge batteries and the Flir cameras appeal to me.

      Things are probably a brick though but yeah I’m also sure I saw one from them with a 15,000mah battery but without the Flir cam which I really kinda want.

    I want a 20000mah power bank with wireless charging capabilities. Is it that hard to make?
