GSM Arena says the 5.3 has NFC.
Not a bad iPhone for the price point. I’d pay more for a premium version with infra red + NFC + wireless charging + 5G though.
Serious question, gth, does any current audio/video hardware actually use an IR remote?
As far as I’m aware, everyone has moved to Bluetooth remotes.
Wow , grammar police are a tuff crowd on here , sorry if my grammar on this post is not up to your high standards .
Will the new Nokia echo like my present Nokia 7. No one likes to talk to me on phone because of the echo. Piece of sh*t phone.
Sounds like a great phone but it’s too tall for my liking.
Do you even bother to check the grammar and spelling? It’s full of errors!
I note the errors too. But I always look past them since all the authors at Ausdroid are volunteers. I would rather have the news than nit-pick on spelling and/or grammatical errors. Please cut these volunteers some slack.
For most of 2020 there’s been a marked increase in grammar and spelling errors from certain contributors at Ausdroid, thus there’s been an equal and opposite decrease in quality. This is not the Ausdroid I know. Your justification is plain dumb. CFA volunteers don’t do a half-arsed job. Lifeline volunteers don’t do a half-arsed job. Summer interns don’t do a half-arsed job. I certainly didn’t do a half-arsed job when I volunteered my time, expertise or plain enthusiasm towards projects big and small. You must be the guy who’s used to sub-par quality and clearly thinks it’s okay. I certainly… Read more »
Can’t the errors just be fixed? Or is this like Twitter, with no edit option. 😛
Just reading your post makes me realise something. I most likely would not want to volunteer my time for you. You sound like that person who would look over your shoulder and complain about every small defact. In other words, a whinger. All I am saying is these authors have a day job, have families and most likely write their articles in their spare time. I too am not a fan of spelling and/or grammatical errors. But I also don’t think it is fair to be complaining about small issues like that. At the end of the day, we still… Read more »
That is no excuse. How hard is it to proofread?
I’ve also noted the increase in spelling and grammar errors, Sujay.
I’ve given up on reporting them, seeing as how they no longer seem to be being corrected after reporting.
Spelling is an awkward problem to resolve, since validating custom dictionaries, for all the specialist words, phrases, and names, involved in technology, can quickly render what would normally be invalid spellings, as being valid, elsewhere in documents.
Grammar checking, I honestly don’t know which, if any, current office suites on the various OS platforms, offers such capability.
I don’t know about spelling/grammar checks on the platform these articles are written on. But I don’t think it would be a stretch to write the articles on Word, do the spelling/grammer corrections and then copy/paste onto this platform. Problem solved.
