Now if only they could make the Edge+ with the same relative spec sheet and ditch the curved glass in 2027. I'd buy it in a heartbeat for Graphene. My next phone WAS going to be a Pixel for the broader case/screen protector support, but that would make me reconsider cause I would really miss the chop chop flashlight. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (6 children) Chop chop flashlight? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip 14 points 7 months ago (5 children) Motorola phones have a feature that allows you to "chop" with your phone twice to turn on/off the flashlight. It sounds super mundane, but it is way more convenient than you can imagine. Especially for me as an athletic trainer when I'm testing pupil response during a concussion evaluation. They also allow you to twist your phone twice to open the camera, but I don't find that as convenient since double tapping the lock button also works. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (4 children) That's pretty cool. Did you ever find it activating accidentally? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 months ago (3 children) No. You have to be pretty deliberate about it. Honestly, its pretty impressive how well tuned it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (2 children) Now I need to try it somehow permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zaperberry@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago Just tried it on my razr, had no idea it was a thing but that's not surprising given I don't really set up accessibility features on my phones. You do have to be quite forceful with it, kind of whipping it back once at the end of a swing. Neat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago* If you have tasker on Android or GOS there's a download for it called 'chop to flashlight' and can adjust the sensitivity so it doesn't turn on in your pocket or bag. permalink fedilink source parent
