Another example of the bizarreness of #Android devices: The #HUAWEI Watch Fit 4 comes in several colours. Reviewers say that this watch comes with #NFC - and ofc you'd expect that, it's a bog standard feature that's been in phones for over a decade. It's even on the very first #Apple Watch that paved the way for the rest of the #smartwatch clones.
You buy the watch, then you realise it doesn't feature NFC - what gives? You dig deeper in the tech specs page of the HUAWEI Watch Fit 4 and realise.. there's a line saying that NFC is supported, then there's a much smaller and muted line saying it's only supported on the Grey version. Not Black, Purple, or White versions of the very same watch, just Grey - for wtv reason. Then you notice that these reviewers have also been given the Grey version of the watch for review, intentionally I suppose.
Ridiculous. People often tout Apple products as 'just works' (which btw, is so not true) and question Android devices in terms of just how easy it'd even be to use them - when the question shouldn't even go that far, it should start at just how easy it is really to buy them without the most thorough of knowledge into tech you have, and without the most comprehensive of research into the product you do before buying.
That being said, I'd say this is still not as bad la with the Android tablet without fucking GPS released in 2025. That's even more bizarre cos it's hard to even find other devices with GPS that'd even list they have GPS - cos it's almost... an obvious have/tell for a mobile device released in the last couple of decades. All in all, always seek your go-to 'tech person' before buying anything Android.
