      @Major Cbass Which is why I'll go with last gen or that before when buying a new phone every ~5 years or so any time. That kind of money is simply not justified for a lot of peoples' use cases (if you exclude silly bragging rights ofc). My latest upgrade was from an S5 (I bought new at the time) to S9+, and only because the S5 didn't run standard apps (maps and such) at a usable speed anymore, and I got the S9+ for very cheap used from a friend. I wouldn't have or even want any flagship(py) model otherwise. Anything above 250-300€ is pure vanity imho.

I mean for most people, even actual sound enthusiast like me, what matters more is convenience and comfort. You can't really get better than something like galaxy buds, it sits in ear really well and doesn't get loose. You can use it for sports as there's no cable, there's no tangling or yanking of the cable, even bluetooth buds that has the neck band had these problems, just to lesser degree. Not to mention true wireless gets better battery time due to case.

    If it has tethering is there a limit to the number of devices allowed to connect?
    What is the data push through rate from the 4G / 5G network through the Nord tethering to the wifi (4? 5? 6?)connected devices?
    Cheers

    I kind of saw it for a moment, but why doesn't any reviewer show how the exit wound or bullet hole notches affect youtube videos? How does it look with a 2:1 aspect ratio video for instance? Does the notch cover the video a bit or does the video not get covered by it?
