Best alternative to iPhone?

?‍♂️ you REALLY should take the time to become knowledgeable before embarking upon these types of conversations....
You DO realize that quick share IS wifi direct, right? It hasn't been abandoned at all. ?‍♂️

Uh no. Just no. Wrong again.

Quick Share or Nearby Share share files directly via whatever method the two (or more) phones deem is fastest: Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, WebRTC, or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi; and should allow it to work offline if needed.

Please slowly back out of this conversation for your sake…. ?

Lol you really should get up to speed before starting down these paths. ? First and foremost, we weren't talking about nearby share, we were talking about quick share. It's always cute when someone copy and pastes quotes without understanding what they're quoting. Nearby Share has nothing to do with this conversation. We're talking about Quick Share, which uses Wifi direct... ??‍♂️ Please slowly back out of this conversation for your sake…. ?

Huh??? U no read well?

”Quick Share will use Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network between connected devices. The connection would likely be firewalled for security and the files would be encrypted.”

lmao!!! ? ?!!!!
What exactly do you think that "peer-to-peer wifi network" is? I'll give you a hint...the first word starts with "w", and the second one starts with "d"... and it sounds similar to the words hifi correct.. ?...I'll give you another hint...it's in the attachment..?
A wise man doesn't try to debate things of which he has no knowledge.

Dude it is combo of Wifi direct and BT and other protocols combined…just like Airdrop and Nearby share. It is NOT just a renamed Wifi direct. Damn.

It allows you to transfer files to multiple people simultaneously while also not having to stay connected to said devices (Wifi-direct can't do either). It's an airdrop-like service.

why do u think Wifi direct never caught on? Too cumbersome to use. Unreliable. Quick Share solved these shortcomings by combining other protocols to make it work reliably.

again, you are Wrong. Again.

I never once said it was a renamed Wifi Direct. They simply changed the way it paired the devices. They went from doing it via menu (when it came out), to pairing via NFC (with S Beam), and now through quick share. You falsely asserted that wifi direct had been abandoned, inferring it was somehow an inferior technology. That was false. Keep up..

wifi direct is one of the protocol that Quick Share uses To do it’s thing.quick share is NOT Wifi direct.


I see that you’re backtracking now. Lol

You DO realize wifi direct can connect to multiple devices simultaneously right? ?‍♂️ And I have not backtracked one bit. My point has been and remains exactly the same. As I said before, "Airdrop was released in 2011. Samsung had wifi direct in 2010. Airdrop was an attempt to catch up to wifi direct being available on the Galaxy S. Then the year after Apple released airdrop, Samsung released S beam, which was a way to use wifi direct to transfer files with a tap (as opposed to having to actually go turn it on)."

You responded

to which you were completely wrong, as wifi direct is still indeed in use now. Case Closed.

Backtracking…backtracking. Quick Share is better and not same as Wifi direct...QS does more than Wifi direct because it uses other protocols to accomplish the airdrop like transfer.

Quick share is Samsung answer to air drop 9 years later. Case close.

Riddle me this...since you purport to know something about this subject. Tell me the difference between S Beam and Quick Share.

His pretty good at doing that lol

It's not a change of topic. It's actually the exact same topic. You're talking about wifi direct and so am I. So answer the question and stop dodging.

Henry Ford docs spot potentially fatal iPhone 12 problem with pacemakers, defibrillators

Magnets in the iPhone 12 can disable pacemakers and implanted defibrillators, Henry Ford doctors found. They prompted Apple to issue a warning.

Not sure if this is the best place for this post. Time to upgrade from my iPhone 5 and I'm thinking about migrating to a different brand. My use has been pretty basic, as my present iPhone suggests. One area that will be important in future use is photography and I will be wanting the best phone for this job. Is Apple best in this arena? If not, what alternatives should I be looking at? How close are Apple competitors?

Sounds like a Samsung is what you need if you want to change from Apple.

Samsung have an ecosystem of products similar (if not larger) to Apples with smart phones, tablets, smart watches, headphones, official first party accessories. This is on top of all the mainstream product lines in white household goods, audio, photography, televisions etc.

I tend to agree. I love that I can pull down the notification panel, and have access to different devices throughout my house. It's extremely convenient. Also, having it all able to tie into the Google Assistant adds another level of convenience as well.

I went from 10 years of iPhones to the Samsung s20+ recently. At first I was worried I'd regret my decision but for my basic uses its not really any different, the loss of iMessage wasn't a big deal for me. The camera is really good, battery isn't too bad either it does drain quicker than the iPhone I came from but will last a full day easy. I've read comments here of people saying I'd come back to iOS but honestly not even thinking of doing that. I did purchase the s20+ after the release of the s21 line and that's because I didn't like the physical look of the s21 line in comparison to s20.

Thanks. I'll explore their products.

No such thing mate, apple is the best, no completion, if you want lag, heat, battery drain, bloat, ads in apps, 2x apps for messages, photo, mail, internet, calendar and plenty others, ?‍♂️? get a samsung lol, promise you one thing, you'll be back on iOS in a week or two.

Even die hard Samsung fans are starting to the see the light and gimmicks on samsung phones.

Thanks for inputs.

Look at this gorgeous open-pore wood table shot on Pixel 5 .. that reflects objects somehow.

Due to aggressive post-processing Pixel not only did change the color of the table that needs to be redder but it also changed the actual material from a semi-gloss clear coated table due to wear and tear to matte no clear coat at all wood planks.

Thanks for posting demo. Something looks wrong with the reflectivity but it doesn't look matte to me. Any camera can do weird things with reflectivity. As you said, post processing can mess up color and in this case it must have added blue. Maybe more or less homogenous and limited palettes of two large background areas.

The BEST camera & video phone right now is the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It is big and 100% worth it.

Some deals available from Verizon now. Could pick up a two-for-one deal with business account.
