What owners report

  • “I bought Moto G8 Plus this year on Feb 29. The phone came up with Android 9 Pie out of the box and surprisingly I got an Android 10 update on 20th Oct 2020. It was a special day because it was my 36th birthday and very early morning I got received the update. I am looking to purchase Moto G9 Plus if it's available in India. [...]”

  • “[...] Nice OLED. [...] I connected my monitor to my dock with both DisplayPort and some random USB-C cable. [...]”

  • “I have the SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey Neo G9 G95NA - but despite spending literally dozens of hours - I was never able to get text to work clearly on it - either Mac or PC - tried both the DisplayPort, HDMI - tried all the (many) HDMI cables I had at home, and a couple expensive Monoprice cables, firmware updates, monitor resets, every setting I could figure - no luck. Text is just ... fuzzy in a way that it isn't with any other monitor I've ever owned - kind of a deal breaker when I spend all day in tmux.”

  • “[...] But the battery its draining too fast without a real reason , just surfing thru the setting its draining the battery , with not wifi or data activ. Do you think it misht be from factory something gone wrong ?”
