I thought, “New Caledonia, I wonder how close to the French coast it is…” It’s closer to Australia and no where near France. That island should have had it’s independence long ago.

I have the newer M9. Really nice size for reading books and comics. I got the folio cover as well so I’ll just walk around and watch movies/shows while doing chores. It’s definitely not a fast tablet, but isn’t terrible either. Browsing the web is fine, but it feels faster using my pixel 6a instead. Best part, it has a micro SD card slot. I’ve loaded it up with books, comics, shows, and movies. Going on airplanes is great with it.

I got the newer Lenovo M9 and it’s great for the price. It can stutter at times, but comics, books, and stremio - no problems.

Ah, I really wanted to go the zenphone route, but when my pixel 3 (I think) died, I went the cheap avenue with a 6A. I was about to travel to Scotland and needed a decent phone at a reasonable price. If I had the funds I’d have gone with your choice.

Oh man I miss the PH-1. Mine got it’s screen cracked so I switched to Pixel. Just such a satisfying weight and size for it. But at the end the battery life was rough.

Anyone able to get Piped working in Firefox Mobile browser? The page loads but the video won’t play at all.

What’s up fellow Flubs!

As many have said, Google has a good set of USB - earbuds. I recently switched to a paid of Sony C100 Bluetooth buds and they work great.

But the best USB-C earbuds I’ve used came from Essential (they made a phone years ago called the PH-1). The earbuds have amazing sound. The controls could be a lot better since it’s just one button - no volume rocker. If you constantly pull your phone out, the cord will get a bit tangled. But the sound… Whew I miss it. Also has a pretty universal earbud tip shape so you can replace with comply foam ear tips for comfort and noise reduction.

Agreed. For such a cheap price, I think it hits a good spot.I regret a little not getting their gaming tablet - I didn’t know it even existed during my research. Better specs in a similar form factor. But it wasn’t enough regret to return or anything.

Oh the Android apps part is great. Best of both worlds kind of thing. Have you tried anything with Linux programs that can be loaded onto it as well? (Or maybe that’s only some ChromeOS products)

I got a Lenovo M9 a couple months ago. It’s not a powerhouse, but for streaming services/playing local video files it’s amazing. Add in reading books and comics, it’s a damn steal. Battery life is good, small size, and the folio cover is perfect for taking around the house. $150 without the cover is a great deal. I definitely recommend the folio case too. It slated for Android 13 this quarter as well.

I spent way too much time yesterday playing Blackice. It’s a FPS game in a tron-like world. Graphics are in line with the colors and blocky edges. It’s not a super deep game, but it’s really cool when all the colors are splashing around and monster/programs are everywhere. It’s an indie built by I think just 2 guys. Plenty to explore, unique items and modifiers.

I’ve owen it for a bit, but noticed there were a few updates so I installed it again.

Also, Division 2 and Battlebit. There’s a trend.
