With it's big feature being AI language translation so it's a perfect travel phone

2018-08-02 21:16:39 UTC  

feature phone?

2018-08-02 21:17:56 UTC  

Feature phones are basically the new dumb phones

2018-08-02 21:18:50 UTC  

>nougat >mediatek

2018-08-02 21:21:40 UTC  

but what does it mean

2018-08-02 21:24:35 UTC  

Feature phones is dumbphones, they don't run Android and usually run some really light proprietary crap

2018-08-02 21:24:46 UTC  

also that phone has outdated software and not a great processor

2018-08-02 21:25:08 UTC  

ah...

2018-08-02 21:25:29 UTC  

oh that

2018-08-02 21:25:34 UTC  

not what I had in mind but interesting

2018-08-02 21:26:58 UTC  

It says it runs some forked android

2018-08-02 21:27:04 UTC  

I wonder if it can sideload APK'S

2018-08-02 21:39:38 UTC  

I doubt Xiaomi can beat Google's language AI

2018-08-02 21:41:31 UTC  

Unless they mean they will focus heavily on mic tech but even then just uninstalling the stock translator and using Google translate will probably be better.

2018-08-02 21:47:53 UTC  

mark your calendars ladies and gents

2018-08-02 21:51:06 UTC  

I forget if I asked you guys. Best battery bank for capacity-per-dollar I can get on Amazon? I'd like at least 3 outputs. Every single one seems to have mixed reviews.

2018-08-02 22:39:26 UTC  

Do you think I could get enough juice from a cheap solar panel to charge a power bank if the panel is stuck behind the grate of my locker at work? Then I could top my phone off at lunch and never need to worry about charging the power bank.

2018-08-02 22:45:05 UTC  

prob not

2018-08-02 22:45:13 UTC  

id just get a really big powerbank

2018-08-02 22:48:04 UTC  

Suggestion on a powerbank?

2018-08-02 22:48:44 UTC  

I've ordered the Xiaomi 10Ah one when it was on sale for $15, waiting for it to arrive

2018-08-02 22:50:22 UTC  

Think they have a 15 or 20 Ah one too

2018-08-02 22:55:09 UTC  

i shouold get my mini gt tommorow btw

2018-08-02 23:03:17 UTC  

Nice

2018-08-02 23:03:20 UTC  

@dogapult if space isnt an issue than the Romoss 20000mah might work, its a literal brick but its held up for about a year for me amd is a couple bucks cheaper than Xiaomis at similar capacities

2018-08-02 23:03:24 UTC  

Mine should arrive soonish

2018-08-02 23:07:23 UTC  

People severely underestimate the size a solar panel would have to be

2018-08-02 23:07:30 UTC  

to charge batteries in proper time

2018-08-02 23:10:18 UTC  

Main advantage is you can just leave it out and itll charge something eventually.

2018-08-02 23:21:43 UTC  

Xiaomi isn't even doing the AI translation themselves, it's outsourced to a third party <:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-08-02 23:21:53 UTC  

odd

2018-08-02 23:22:04 UTC  

I guess xiaomi just doesn't have the AI chops

2018-08-02 23:22:37 UTC  

Why do all these giant battery banks only have 2 outputs? Seems silly.

2018-08-02 23:23:23 UTC  

yeah seems crazy why don't consumers want to charge a million devices at once

2018-08-02 23:23:36 UTC  

Batteries have a limited amount of amps to give

2018-08-02 23:23:55 UTC  

severely reduces lifespan if too many devices are charged at once

2018-08-02 23:23:59 UTC  

Ah.

2018-08-03 00:26:33 UTC  

reminder to 1) re-check your charge every now and then on power banks, especially ones you dump in a car for emergencies and 2) try not to buy LiPo if you can help it because it will fuck itself up if left in the elements
