Received my 256 GB Hibiscus today. Yesterday I was on the chat with Google for at least 35 minutes or so. I had pre-ordered the phone but only had the trade in value and store credits because for some reason the Google store website wouldn't process my emailed $100 discount code. I contacted customer support yesterday. They promised in the chat, (I showed them the full transcript), that they could apply the discount once I received the new phone. I received it and they promptly told me that they weren't honoring what was promised, apologized a hundred times and STILL lost a sale because I don't do business with anyone who doesn't keep their word. That bad boy is on a FedEx truck back as I type...maybe I'll try a Nothing phone...

Doesn't sound like a fad or novelty much anymore wouldn't you say?

How good is this battery you may wonder? Based on this screenshot from AccuBattery Pro, your phone's battery health and performance look excellent.

​

​Here is the breakdown of what all these numbers mean in simple, plain English:

​

​The Big Picture

​

​Current Status: Your battery is sitting at 95%.

​

​How long it will last right now: If you just leave the phone sitting on a desk with the screen off, it could theoretically last for over 5 days. If you use it continuously with the screen on, you have about 14 hours of active use left.

​

​Everyday Battery Performance (Your Averages)

​

​The app has tracked your usage over 18 different sessions in the last week to give you a realistic picture of your battery life:

​

​Screen On (Active Use): When you are actively using the phone, it drains about 6.8% of your battery per hour. That is a very low, efficient drain rate, giving you an impressive estimated 14 hours and 44 minutes of total "screen-on time" from a full charge.

​

​Screen Off (Standby): When your phone is in your pocket or on a table, it only loses about 0.7% of its battery per hour. This means your phone is "sleeping" beautifully and not letting rogue apps drain your power in the background.

​

​Current Health Signs

​

​Temperature (95.0°F / 35.0°C): This is a perfectly normal, healthy operating temperature. Keeping the phone cool is key to making the battery last for years, and right now, it isn't overheating at all.

​

​Deep Sleep: The app notes that when your screen is turned off, the phone is successfully going into a "deep sleep" state 100% of the time. This confirms that your hardware and software are working efficiently together to save power.

​

​The Takeaway: You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Your phone has stellar standby time, great active battery life, and is running nice and cool.

I don't know if there's some synergy going on with the Razor fold but the free Moto buds 2 plus are actually pretty good for earbuds. The EQ controls are nice, the sound is clear with good separation from lows to high. Mids get washed out slightly but overall they are some nifty little buds to use in a pinch. Haven't done anything with the tags yet because I have no idea what to do with them lol I'm open to any ideas! Ciao!

Just got an open box deal from Adorama, $149!!!! They are in great shape and I'm not sure I could do better for the price. I also got the lighter colored one, less fingerprints. I'm an audiophile in training so I just adjusted the EQ to mirror the v shaped sound per the algorithms. The sound stage doesn't sound as cramped and is crisp throughout the range. They headphones are super comfortable and light . The ANC is excellent and I think I got a great deal. Cheers!
