Considering an upgrade.


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

First, apologies for adding another "I'm considering changing my phone" to a thread already full of this question but I cant make my mind up and looking for more opinions.

 

I currently use a Nexus 6p and I have no issues other than people do sometimes struggle to hear me, not convinced its a phone issue and not a network issue on that one though. I am with Vodafone (UK) and currently their choices are poor unless you're an Apple fan. I was hoping to get the latest Pixel 2 but it doesn't look like they will be getting this any time soon but they do have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and at the moment, the Huawei watch 2 comes with it - http://www.vodafone.co.uk/brands/huawei/mate-10-pro/#Black/128.

 

So my question is, do I stick with the Nexus in the hope they do get the Pixel range and just drop my monthly cost or shall I go for the Hauwei? My biggest concern is the software (I will be installing Nova) but the reviews seem to say this is its biggest down side and I do like the regular updates on the Nexus range.

Try O2, I've been with them for 24 years now (when they used to be CellNet, then BT Mobile) they both use the same cell service, but for some reason, my old motog4g used to work in areas my old phone4 didn't.

 

Also, for a handset, would you consider anything by Lenovo (Motorola) (They're good with updates)

I would have recommended a Nokia (HMD) but I'm losing faith and interest in my Nokia 8. 

Thanks, I've been with Voda for about the same time and need to stay with them as I have just upgraded my otherhalfs mobile on the same contract. I also get a decent discount as my company maintain Vodas network.

 

I do like the Motorola's, we issue them to the majority of the people at my company with a few using flagship models.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
