WEEKLY DISCUSSION

We need another word for "smartphone," and here's why!

Mariyan Slavov
Phonearena team
original poster
The word "phone" is getting old! Especially when used to describe our modern
telecommunication devices in our pockets. When Graham Bell invented the phone in
1876, it was all about sending your voice instantly across distances. Hence the
word "phone" from the Ancient Greek φωνή (phonḗ, sound, voice). But now, our
devices do so much more than just make calls. So, 150 years later, we should get
another word, and that's exactly how . He believes that our devices need a new
name to reflect their advanced capabilities. In the current AI era, that could
be anything tied to AI, or it could be just a "pad" or "personal
communicator—percom," or something with a "palm" in it (although it has been
done already). The possibilities are endless, and even though we probably won't
start the trend here, we could throw in a suggestion or two. Mine sound a bit
silly, so we could brainstorm together. And maybe TM Roh will listen. How should
we call the next-gen smartphones?

meanestgenius says:
Having seen reviews of the Vivo x100 Pro, I can happily say that its camera
prowess is yet another reason why I prefer Chinese OEM's devices. They are
pushing the envelope when it comes to smartphones. I'm really happy that I have
invested in a device from Vivo (xFold 2), and will definitely purchase more
products from them. They are putting out some it the best devices on the market
today.

Galaxy S24 Ultra desperately needs a better camera: Galaxy S23 Ultra can no
longer compete

RealAnswers says:
I'll help you out. Here is the real answer: AI. Yes that's the primary reason
why it's equipped with 24Gigs. Because it will support the ability to do some
aspects of AI offline without Internet. Similar to ChatGPT but a bit less
powerful but will allow you to use Something similar to ChatGPT offline. Imagine
this capability in an emergency scenario where there is no power or Internet and
you need answers or guidance for medical or otherwise. The other reason is this
will support the refreshed trend to bring a desktop experience to Android. The
OnePlus 12 now supports Display out via USB C to HDMI. The primary overall
reason is AI not just in a ChatGPT sense but in other emerging AI capabilities.

The OnePlus 12 has more RAM than my PC! Who needs 24GB of RAM or is this just
another overkill selling point?

Greggs says:
I fail to see why Apple spends a ton of cash on expensive processors but skimps
on relatively inexpensive RAM. Most users won't notice the beefy processor as
it's only noticable in a few tasks that aren't common on phones, plus iOS
severely limits what apps can do making the processor overkill. Meanwhile
something like 2GB or 4GB of additional RAM would cost little in comparison but
greatly enhance the user experience and keep the phone useful for a longer
period of time.

Leak explains why iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 will have same RAM count as
predecessors

rsiders says:
Finally! I don't have to suggest my Apple friends download some third party app
just to send them high quality pictures and video. And now I don't have to
switch to iPhone to bridge the gap between my iPhone friends and family.

Big win for Google! Apple announces RCS support for iPhone starting next year

NOLATechie says:
The comments confirm to me just how brainwashed Apple people are. They will make
an excuse for anything that goes against Apple quality and defend their stance.
If you pay $1100 for a phone, it should not come with a scratch much less s
dent! Obviously this phone is defective! Perhaps someone at the factory dropped
it and there s internal damage that will cause you problems down the road. Call
Apple, complain, and demand a replacement! As proof of what I say, I offer this
reposition. This same story, but the device is a Pixel 8 Pro. I'd bet all these
comments would be the complete opposite!!

iPhone 15 Pro Max is delivered to buyer with a dent out of the box; what would
you do?

iphoneisboss says:
I’m more convinced than ever that if the USA didn’t have its boot on the neck of
Huawei, and the company wasn’t banned from the USA, they would kick the crap out
of Apple and Samsung and be the dominant tech company, at least until Apple and
Samsung got off their complacent fat azzes. Not having Huawei in the USA is
hurting consumers, not helping them.

Rumor mill says Huawei will surprise again by making another component in-house
for the P70 line
