Since its using YT Music in the background, its not 100% reliable. Youtube changes small stuff on their site and API from time to time which breaks these Apps. Happens once every couple of weeks. Just be aware of that!

Prince of Persia is such a IP almost no one cares about and most people know that it has something to do with AC in some way.

Multiplayer was peak CoD. The maps especially were almost all bangers.

they are a reverse midas. Anything they touch doesn’t turn into gold but into shit

Now would be a great time to make a new simcity since city skylines 2 got greedy and bombed

I’d rather have these than any mediatek helio A22 device

Its not. I’m writing this on a Note 8 with Android 9. It can run 99% of Apps on the Playstore, has an up to date browser and even gets access to new features like Google Lens, Gemini or Quickshare. Would it be nice to have Android 14? Yes. Does it need Android 14? eh not really.

The fact that you can use Python before .NET kinda amazes me

They have gone about this in a really stupid way. Instead of doing this exclusivity shit, they could have made games 10% cheaper for the enduser across the board.

Also their launcher sucks

This is what I envisioned with “foldables”.

yeah great, EDL mode still is exists…

I hope it sells it well. Maybe its just me but I don’t see a big overlap between Platformer Fans and PS5 owners.

I think there are two core issues. Their creation engine has struggled to keep pace since the PS4 era and Todd’s ego.

The engine part can be fixed by either licensing something else or investing big time to bring that fossil up to speed.

With Todd’s ego, I hope Starfield thought him a lesson or they make someone else top dog.

They still make Tablets? I have one from like 2016 that isn’t even horrible.

Marketing and availablity. Unless you watch Phonereviews you probably have no idea these phones exist.

no I don’t

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. If I understand it correctly, there is no way to really prevent these Apps from “running” in the background, although “running” just means they sit idle in memory 99.9% of time and don’t do anything unless a broadcast event they are subscribed to gets fired and then they are permitted to do small task.

So I guess the most likely issue is that either something else on the phone is causing this drain or that some App constantly gets restarted (which is expensive) for some reason instead of just staying idle in memory.

thanks, I will give the work profile route a try since I’m not aware of any ways to root my phone (LG G8X)

I have done that but there are certain Services like my Bank or Phone provide that require me to installiert their App. Also with others - Kleinanzeigen, the mobile website is horrible and thus kinda force me to use the App.

in the case of the Microsoft copilot app, yes obviously, but there are some Apps which I need like for my bank.
