pixcel25 I must admit I had to look up glazing lol, I’m that old.

I think that people want to spend their money well, I know I do and I do see the downgrade of spec a big deal if you want to squeeze every penny as far as it will go.

I was just at a playdate with some other parents and they’re quite excited about the NP3 as it was just reviewed by the Guardian and they asked what I thought.

Cameras were great and the parents played with it and shot photos of the kids. And the GM, spin the bottle was fun (we decided to have some Gin and Tonics to test it, if the bottle stopped on you.)

They feel the capacitive button on the back is kinda iffy but everyone said the screen is great and the camera stellar.

I complained up the overheating issue under real stress (running at 100% for 20 mins) and we started discussing GPUs and ML/AI and talked about ES and data privacy and information control.

Interesting to get people’s take on it. Tried the action mode with the kids running around.

They’re quite impressed with NOS being black and while only and my simple homescreen.

I stressed that there’s one big issue for UK/EU/NA users that I haven’t revealed here yet ok the forum but will if it’s not fixed in the next update. (July update.)

Parents are very busy and the camera usually is the main driver of sales. They were shocked with the restart speed of the phone and try to super test it to see that last gen SoC use and just said yeah, ok, doesn’t matter while we were finishing the GTs.

It’s a nice piece of hardware but still is very pricey in this config (£900), which is very hard to justify. (Parents always say that as nursery is £1200-1500/month/child). That led into a discussion about women leaving the workforce or working part time.

Edit: about to give this phone a real world brightness test with my sunnies on.

edit: decided to go to the beach instead
