Yes, it really shouldn’t, but it did. I tested it on 3 devices: Motorola G55, Nothing Phone 2(a) and my friends Samsung A52s. Guess what? Only the A52s was able to connect… And i have tried EVERYTHING. That can’t be coincindental.
And that getting too hot: Samsung doesn’t not make good cpu’s when it comes to efficiency, especially thermal performance.
My dad gave me his Samsung Watch 7 he got for free with his new phone. What a disaster it was. Couldn’t connect to anything other than a Samsung phone, couldn’t charge while trying to make it work on my Nothing Phone because the device got too hot. Yeah… never a Samsung again for me, not even for free. He now uses it because ofcourse, it instantly paired to his S24 Ultra.
If my Garmin Instinct 2 dies, i would buy something simular. Or, if Garmin decides to aggressively pushing their subscription services in the (near) future or do anything other stupid, i would take my money to Pebble:
This seriously looks bad… Hope they will come back from this before 26 releases.
Honestly, this design style is getting too cartoonish… I really don’t like this
They are pretty much the same now. Such a shame, because i really liked to old K-9 (both design and performance were better IMO). Thunderbird is fine tho.
Yep, this exactly.
I have a Moto G55 because they are one of the fewer out there with a LCD screen (i wanted a phone that was not prone to static images, such as navigation on highest brightness for many hours a week and i really, really don’t like Oled ghosting/black smearing). But sadly, due to bugs and bloatware, Motorola is a no-go.
Such a shame… the G2 was probably the phone i loved most of all i had over the years.
Motorola basically does this too: Live Lock Screen, an app owned by Taboola News.
This is probably not a popular opinion, but I really don’t understand why people want Oled on their watches to begin with… are the pro’s really worth more than the con’s here (just a few days battery life, getting burn-in very quick due to static images)? I know there’s pixelshifting and that sort of stuff happening, but still…
E-ink is such a beautiful thing! Better visibility with more light, very long battery life…i think that’s way more important on smartwatches.
I guess it is appearance vs. endurance, or something like that. I’m just happy that nowadays there seems to be a watch for everybody (unlike smartphones, where 99% are huge, have camera cutouts and Oled…).
