Brief tech rant: Looks like the phone/tablet market is getting crappier by the year. C. 2017, I still can’t find devices worthy of being called successors of the Nexus 4/5/7’s

So many forum posts by disillusioned folks looking to replace their Nexus 7’s with one of those tablets (I’m one of them, there’s no real N7 successor)

Let alone the fact that domestic pricing for hardware in Greece, due to inflated VAT & crisis knock-on effects, ends up being >1.5x the nominal value in $ in many cases (eg. $250 device priced €370)

Then again, US users are getting shafted on h/w specs in some cases, eg. w Lenovo refusing to ship anything but the 2Gb/16Gb of it’s Tab4’s stateside. It’s all a shitshow for Apple’s benefit

Apple can get away w shipping dual core, 2Gb/16Gb iPads due to the optimized nature of their platform (I guess), Android pads w similar specs are to be avoided like the plague. Make octa-core/3Gb/32Gb the default offering, manufacturers, I know you can

And don’t even get me started on how Android manufacturers have all but locked the platform w bloat & warranty watchdogs, making bootloader unlocking/rooting almost illegal

Lastly, what’s wrong with the 7” format (all but abolished)? Worked wonders for N7, why should devices keep getting bigger than our pockets? I guess I can settle for 8/7.9” but I wish I wouldn’t have to.

In closing, N7 is still badass, maybe I should be looking to source a couple more from stockhouses instead of looking for a new tablet. Meh, 2017pic.twitter.com/lC1ef9UKf7
