    I would remove the iphone 15 and replace it with the OnePlus Open. I think the 15 Pro Max is great (i own one) so is the S23 Ultra (i also owned one). Cant speak for the Pixel 8, i havent tried that one, not a big fan of Google phones ever since their crap Pixel 6 Pro.

    Fingers crossed the iPhone 16 knocks my socks off! Honestly, current phones are like a snooze-fest—uninspired, unoriginal, and all blending into one.

    I’ve been an iphone user since the 3GS but I must say based on my opinion I love my google pixel fold over my 15pro.. Don’t sleep on Google.

    every year, it’s always galaxy, iphone, pixel or the mainstream ones… how about phones like honor magic v2 or lesser known brand like nothing?

  21. @kpehe100

    November 29, 2023 at 6:25 pm

    The best mid-range phone you can buy and forget about the flagship phones is the Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus. With its zoom capabilities, not even the S23 Ultra can do better

    November 29, 2023 at 7:06 pm

Ann Morgan considered herself well read — until she discovered the “massive blindspot” on her bookshelf. Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world. So she set an ambitious goal: to read one book from every country in the world over the course of a year. Now she’s urging other Anglophiles to read translated works so that publishers will work harder to bring foreign literary gems back to their shores.
