Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient "nice to have" item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.

You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.

I wanted to use this but it made my DT2W and lift to wake completely useless. It's a pity because these are the only two issues I had with it.

By that logic, all websites are not blocked in China.

Erm, that's not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We're talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.

That's different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.

Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.

That is not a lock in though? It's just personal preference to avoid paying double for apps.

I've literally never heard of Keen until this article.

The current method for sideloading apps without a developer account seems to be limited to three separate apps at a time.

I mean, a lot of people use Messenger to contact other people, so I guess they do?

I assume that you are talking about connectivity issues?

On a side note, I used an international base S22 and had terrible battery life when I was in the US. However, that's likely due to the chip's inefficiencies rather the connectivity issues. I had strong 4G/5G reception on T-Mobile.
