I don't see why not, so long as you install an app on the watch that's capable of playing those audiobook files!

I'm on the TicWatch Pro 3 and am really looking forward to upgrading. Now I have even more options to pick from.

Agreed, Android 13 was expected though given the SoC platform and launch timing.

A Pixel 6 Pro.

I'm already on Bluesky, but I stopped posting there because it seemed dead in comparison to Mastodon and Threads.

...I already post on Mastodon though 😅

Yeah, this is the right approach. It's true that ASUS dropped the ball when it comes to getting their bootloader unlock tool server back online as well as in keeping users updated on their progress. It's also true that you should never really take what support staff says at face value, and that a response from a PR rep is always preferable over support staff.

However, there are times when even the PR reps aren't aware of an internal policy change, or they aren't allowed to communicate as such yet. I don't think that's the case here, though. The PR rep I'm in touch with is the same one who has been running the Zenfone developer program for years, so I trust them!

Hi!

Haven't had the Fold 5 for long enough to really comment on the hinge durability but I'm not worried about hinge right now though.

As for which device I want to daily drive, I'm most looking forward to using the Z Fold 5 since I do a lot of work on my phone and I think I'll take advantage of the multitasking capabilities.

They had a bunch of desserts (different kinds of scones) and drinks.

I don't see a screen protector on the outer display but there is one on the inner display (Fold 5)

Most OEMs aren't willing to preload Google's AVB keys for their GSIs. DSU is only really supposed to be used by app developers (and even then most app devs don't know it even exists or use it) which is why most OEMs don't bother with it.

Very very unlikely, don't get your hopes up.

It definitely looks like it opens completely flat to me, like 180 degrees.

Wtf my phone won't turn on anymore after I licked it wat do?

I also actually daily drive the TicWatch Pro 3! I know Mobvoi is working on a Wear OS 3 update for the watch, but it's still in private beta and probably won't roll out soon for regular users.

I'm personally interested in the Watch 6 because it runs Wear OS 4 based on Android 13 out of the box and thus has access to a bunch of Wear OS apps I currently can't get on my TicWatch lol.

What exactly do you expect us to do lol? Sneak into TM Roh's bedroom and whisper that in his ear?

1. Through the Multistar Good Lock module you'll be able to run any app on the cover screen, so I would say the Flip 5 cover screen is indeed a big upgrade. (If you're the kind of person to use Lemmy then you're probably comfortable with installing/sideloading Good Lock.)
2. Didn't get to get this but will ask tomorrow if we can get our hands on it
3. My first impression is that the taskbar felt cluttered with 4 recents apps but fortunately in settings you can choose how many recents to show.
4. Didn't really get a chance to appreciate the colors, sorry! Was more focused on stuff like the hinge, crease, software, etc

It's going to be hard to answer this based only on a 1 hour demo period (split between all the different devices) but it's something we can answer after getting to use the devices for a bit.

What are you thinking of upgrading from? I've seen a lot of people say a similar thing about the Fold 5 versus the Fold 4 but it's worth noting that most people don't upgrade their devices every year so the target audience likely isn't people like us.
