    Question best compact camera phone? pixel 9 pro?

    Personally, I would take the Google Pixel 9 Pro over the One Plus 13, but that's just personal opinion. You may find the following review helpful though from Mr. Mobile. Just looking at the footage only, I feel as though my Pixel 9 Pro camera is better. View: https://youtu.be/bDJNd8XWJIU

    Question Force application to open at lower resolution / size than monitor resolution

    A few options: Use Sizer - https://www.brianapps.net/sizer/ Use WinSize 2 - https://winsize2.sourceforge.net/en/index.html If you want to get fancy you could use a PowerShell script and just run the .bat file when you want to use Advance Uninstaller.

    Discussion What new phone technology trends should we keep an eye on?

    Form Factor: All the same.. just black slabs / rectangles. Camera/Photos: All the same.. even budget devices are capable of taking 'good enough' photos. AI enhancements mean it's less about the hardware anyway. Features: They're all the same and if something isn't available stock... there's an...

    Question 4k or full HD for £250

    Nah. But there is a breaking point where some old stuff will certainly look better on a FHD than a 4K, depending on how old and low res it is. Speaking generally, if you're trying to watch a 360p video on 4K it's going to look worse than watching on a FHD.
