I see Amazon have merged the P30 and P30 Pro reviews with the P20 series. From 15 to 280 reviews overnight, with a healthy boost in the star rating from 2.5 to >4.5.

I understand what dual SIM is, but can't understand why there's so much attention being paid to it on Amazon. I figure even with dual SIM, you can use one slot as memory card, but can't be done with the single SIM UK version. Still don't get the rationale for the demand.

I think it is actually dual SIM, only the nano memory slot is sacrificed for the second SIM.

Been looking at these, and whilst I'm able to separate pointless reviews from useful ones, it still makes me twitch seeing it, especially for the price. I notice they've turned on their 'no credit check' payment spreading option today.

How's ownership of the P30 Pro going? I'm seeing a really bad set of Amazon reviews and it's making me nervous to order.

Trying to get a 100% crop off that P30 Pro?! Have you tried the LR mobile app?

A thread should be started in the main equipment thread, would be great to see the output possible.

I'm not sure there's latitude to improve the 50x zoom - after all, the 10x is already a digital merging of data from the 27mm (1x) and 125mm (5x) lenses. It's probably there as a demonstrator only, kinda like how the highest iso settings on any camera are garbage - I think I read it was the...

I find that the rate of system software updates and app updates is bloating the installed software size to the point where even flagships from a few years ago will start to slowdown. I use a Note 4, and Samsung have stopped updating it, so the performance has plateaued - I'm not sure if that's...

You might care to take a look at Samsung's Dex system - you could capture and process on the same device, with desktop peripherals and using lightroom mobile too!

I Google for the answer to this frequently. What you're looking for is a smartphone with a large sensor, and in recent times the Panasonic CM1 was the answer with a 1" sensor. The Lumia 1020 before that was king. Attempts at increasing sensor size seem to have been displaced by improvements in...

Also a good point.

It'll be a bitter pill to swallow, but having taken 400 shots over three trips out, I think I'll only be needing one spare. Buying genuine makes more sense in that context.
