A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is a preorder, not actual release.

it's better than nothing right? 😂

I know what you mean, but because you've allowed yourself to miss my point completely - I'll do the same.

No, it is not, in fact, better. Nothing would be better, because we would not have a false impression of the situation.

I sort of wish I could justify it, but my current phone is more than capable.

My current phone is a Lenovo P2 from 2016. I'm waiting 7 years for this upgrade.
