Hello Hacker Public Radio listeners. This is Tony Hughes in Blackpool in the UK. This
|
||
shows a short show as an update to my episode 2405 about the Nokia 6. I've now been living
|
||
with the Nokia 6 for about two months. I wanted to give listeners a little bit of an update
|
||
and some of my thoughts on the phone since I've been using it. But first I'd like to respond
|
||
to Dave who said on the community news after that show that as he had a OnePlus one he was
|
||
surprised I found it in adequate. The OnePlus one is actually a great phone. My problem with it
|
||
was that it doesn't support O2's 4G network although it supports two or three of the other
|
||
networks here in the UK, EE and 3s4G network. But I use a GIFGaf sim to get my phone service and
|
||
internet service on the mobile and that runs on the O2 network and I've not been able to benefit
|
||
from the 4G offer and I didn't particularly want to change provider because I quite like GIFGaf.
|
||
Also the OnePlus was stuck in or stuck on Sudaijim mod 13.1 which is based on Android 6
|
||
and Dave gone out of business now and there's no longer any updates to the phone so
|
||
as it was now getting to the stage where it was insecure I thought it was time for a new phone
|
||
purchase although since I got the new phone I've now flashed the linear GOS onto the OnePlus one
|
||
and it's now got a secure operating system based on 7.12 Android and at some stage I'll flash
|
||
it to 8 when there's a ROM available so I can use this as a backup phone or pass it onto
|
||
me wife at some stage as a secure phone. So back to the Nokia I've now lived with it for a month
|
||
or a couple of months as I record this and I can say that I'm more than happy with it.
|
||
Some of the issues which I talked about in the previous show with the battery life I found to
|
||
be unfounded I did a few tweaks and once you configure some of the settings to be more battery
|
||
friendly such as restricting background access to the net for most of the apps battery life is
|
||
well over a day's use. At night after I've fully charged it before I go to bed I unplug it and
|
||
about 8 hours on standby at night it's using less than 1% of battery
|
||
which is fantastic I'm more than that and sometimes I wake up and look at it and it's still showing
|
||
it as a 100% so it's using very little because I've now switched off the background access
|
||
into the net it's using very little battery when it's just sitting in standby mode.
|
||
So now with a moderate to heavy use that I can get more well more than a day out of the phone so
|
||
I'm really happy with it. There doesn't seem to be any chance of the phone running out of battery
|
||
during my days use. Other people if you're watching three hour videos then you might find that
|
||
slightly different but you know for most use scenarios that I've seen people using the mobile
|
||
software I think it's perfectly a usable phone. Also the official charger and cable
|
||
if they're used to charge the phone they can give 30% 30 to 40% battery capacity within an hour
|
||
so if you are a really heavy user as long as you've got your official charger and cable with you
|
||
you shouldn't have a problem giving it a quick power boost and I've done this with the official
|
||
cable from a portable power pack as well and it seems to give a reasonable speed on that
|
||
as long as you've got a 2 amp out of the portable power pack. So we're dying to still
|
||
recommend buying this phone I would say yes it's a cracking phone if you want to a 5.5 inch screen
|
||
obviously it's not high-end tech inside but it's better than the OnePlus that I did have
|
||
optical processor so if you want to put your large format phone go out and buy a Nokia 6 so I
|
||
would say. So that's Tony Hughes signing off for this time on Hacker Public Radio and I'll
|
||
touch you soon. Bye for now.
