I have a polar fs1 and still use it. Do I win a prize for the oldest?

I'm on the fence. It has yet to be seen how good their headset will be, how large the venn diagram of apple fans and VR users is. Further how well this will compel plain old VR enthusiasts to pick one up, and if it's really 10x the launch price of quest 2 and now 3x the pro (previously 2x) it better be fucking amazing

I love my OnePlus 10 Pro. It's a great phone. On Android 13 and I just received the March 2023 security update today. Battery lasts around two days, 65w charger came in the box, charges to full in like twenty minutes. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
My biggest complaint is that I wish the case selection was better, but I paid less than $350 for it. So I can deal. It's the best phone for the money I've ever bought in my life.

You can find workarounds for some things. Like using YouTube on safari with an ad blocker, or using Apollo on iOS, which is one of the best Reddit clients. I have an iPhone and an Android, just cause i like playing around with both OSs. Both have their ups and downs.

I'm glad I just decided to NOT buy a Oneplus, few days ago.

I have way too many cables. Me and my husband both play pc games, two instances of the game on one monitor. Would be cool to be able to connect another monitor so we both have our own screen.
Two people means two keyboards, two mouses, and two controllers. So many cables.

One Plus and Oppo should be forced to sell to a non Chinese company. I like their stuff but if I'm not using tiktok I'm not using Oppo or One Plus either.

I don’t think Apple would want to duplicate anything meta is doing.

Apple? Less market experience?
Lmao. It’s freakin Apple. Their headset is just going to use APIs they’ve had in iOS for 5+ years. There’s absolutely nothing Meta is doing that Apple can’t duplicate in less than a year.

The point is that it used to be the best balance of features for me in the past, we know that they've gone downhill now.
For phones available in the US, nothing at that price point offered a better display and performance with good build quality and clean software. An easy comparison is the Pixel, which has always emphasized the camera at the cost of inferior displays and processors.

I have a fenix 6 and it’s been a long time since I tested it but it always came up good. I would look when I checked my BP or I’d use those grips on the treadmill machine. Which probably suck but they always matched so maybe not

Same here! Got a OnePlus One in 2014 and switched to the 5t in 2018. I really don't wanna switch after getting these great results :((

This annoys the fuck outta me. I don't treat my technical devices particularly well and my OnePlus One lasted 4 years. After that I switched to the OnePlus 5t and it has given me 5 years of intensive usage without problems. I know that I'm gonna need a new phone in the next 12 months & I really don't wanna switch away from OnePlus after lasting 9 years with only two devices! But everything I've read about their newer generations has been dogshit:(((

They are in performance. Intel is faster on single core tasks and AMD fares better on multi-core tasks. So it depends on what you’re doing. AMD chips generally use less power which makes it easier to keep cool. AMD is often cheaper to get the same level of performance.
Either platform is fine for most people. The greatest thing AMD has accomplished is forcing Intel to be competitive. That means we get faster and more efficient systems for less money. I’ve used AMD products for years because they used to be a bit slower across the board and way cheaper than Intel. Overall, they’re both great and it’s just us nerds that have a preference. Completion brings excellence to the market!

Interesting, I’m not a runner and would probably only use it for hockey and cycling (wrist sensor is fine for the other activities)

Garmin HRM-Dual, though if I were buying a new one I might go for the HRM Pro because it gives you some additional cool running dynamics stuff (how much are you bouncing up and down, how long are you in contact with the ground, etc)

Smart watches and their data are a huge reason I’m still running after 4 years.

I love my Apple gear. I have a lot of Apple gear. Hell, I’ll buy almost anything they make and be in the line. I have absolute zero clue why this product exists and couldn’t conceive of ever wanting it.
