Comment Lenovo for China (Score 1) 129

Lenovo make some very nice tablets for the Chinese market. I have a Y700, a couple of years old, bought on aliexpress (I'm in UK). Unfortunately Lenovo is one of the worst offenders for not supporting their Android stuff longer than a year or so. It matters a bit less than with a phone but it is still disappointing. Anyway, they are nice tablets with excellent display and audio, lots of RAM & storage, take a microSD, very fast charging on USB-C. The bootloader can be unlocked and there are custom ROMs but last time I tried any they weren't great.

My phones were from the II & III series so maybe they have improved their support. On one phone I had they promised 2 full upgrades, only supplied one, and stopped even security updates. That's when I switched to Samsung even though I liked the Sony phones better. I recently got a full upgrade on my Samsung A52s 5G, a phone released in 2021. I think that was its third full version upgrade.

I agree but there are some forms which really can only be pretend meat i.e. the burger in a bun. I've been vegetarian for over 40 years and I like to I cook, mostly from raw ingredients - almost no pre-prepared stuff except noodles or pasta. Plant patties are the only meat substitute I occasionally buy because it's nice to eat a burger with onion, tomato, relish etc.

Great hardware. But almost zero support. I used to use Xperia phones. I loved them. Genuinely excellent design. Metal cases, fingerprint scanner on power button exactly where your thumb falls, nice performance, very good cameras and photo apps. Brilliant, fast, accurate GPS. But they are not even supported through two Android versions. They claim support for 2 versions and then don't do it, so in fact you get maybe 18 months support and can then just fuck off. This for phones which cost a lot! If they supported them like Samsung (2 full upgrades and 5+ years of patches even on phones which cost very little) I would still buy Sony. But they don't. That's why my current phone is a Samsung, not a Sony.
