      I have a paul sellars model Wooden Router plane that i have extended to fit any lyre width, its a great option if you wanted to go all in on hand tools, the plans for building are free, he even sells a kit now. The inside of the lyre needs to be as smooth as you can make it, undulating surfaces are fine, not roughness, you can scrape or sand the wood.

And showcase themselves as just as good as Pixels when it comes to fast software support.

      I had a g11 Nokia from 2022 with same chipset, so I think that’s how they are keeping prices low in Europe. Display is better than the g11 I think. Hmd are upping the processor and ram on the variation in India so worth waiting and seeing. Compare this to the new Motorola’s or redmi’s that are in a similar price range on gsm arena. I mostly use this for multimedia (it has a jack socket!!) and only ever played simple games but it feels snappy enough. Camera is its real weakness (the ai aided camera is slow ) but that’s why hmd offer an upgrade to better camera model, the pulse plus or pro.
