The War on the Walkman

news.ycombinator.com Louis Anslow 2025-08-07 19:33:43

🗓️ On this day in 1979 the Sony Walkman was first released, marking its 46th anniversary The Sony Walkman is now an icon of the 1980s, eliciting nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of owning music, rather than renting it. Affection for the device is now universal, but that wasn’t always the case… The sudden rise of headphone wearing pedestrians - spurred by Sony’s lightweight headsets (17% the weight of others) - caused unease about an unfamiliar new world quickly coming into view.

We have lost pairs to folks standing on them, cats and robot vacuums attacking the cables, and chairs rolling over them.

Did you know: Your phone supports a 320MP camera, but companies choose to skip them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-11 04:00:04

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The smartphone industry has been through a brutal megapixel war over the last few years, jumping to 48MP, 50MP, 64MP, and 108MP cameras. Companies then upped the ante in 2022 and 2023 by offering 200MP camera phones, and we’ve stayed at this resolution since then. Did you know that recent flagship Android phones actually support more than 200MP sensors, though? In fact, they support 320MP cameras. However, companies haven’t adopted 320MP cameras just yet.

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

theverge.com Allison Johnson 2025-08-11 07:00:00

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it’s about

Sony’s got an Xperia 1 VII problem so bad, it had to temporarily halt sales

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-11 23:59:33

TL;DR Sony has halted sales and shipments of the Xperia 1 VII in its native Japan. Affected phones spontaneously reset, and may refuse to turn back on. Right now we have no confirmation that there’s any problem with the Xperia 1 VII outside of Japan. For a major electronics company, there’s probably no brand whose smartphones are more of niche product than Sony’s. While we’ve had Xperia phones going back to the early days of Android, Xperia handsets have never really taken off in the US. But

Dutch company Fairphone continues to lead the charge on consumer- and planet-friendly electronics, proving that a great phone doesn't have to be impossible to repair or environmentally unsustainable. The Fairphone 6 has just been released, coming two years after the last generation of the phone built to last. The folks over at iFixit wasted no time in conducting a teardown of this new entry to see how it stacks up against previous generations. The Fairphone 6 scored a perfect 10 out of 10, like

Apple’s MagSafe is an accessory system integrated into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 range.

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best. After all, everyone wants to think that their favorite of anything is the best — the best album, book, or cup of coffee — but that can’t always be true. And, when you apply the idea of being the best to a category as wide open as Android phones, which can come in different shapes, sizes, and prices, the task becomes even greater.

Coming in at $799, it takes on the proper flagships from Samsung, Google, Apple, and others.

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si
