Challenges And Debates Sociotechnical Systems

The study of sociotechnical systems and value judgments in technology is not without challenges and debates: Conflicting Values: Societies often have conflicting values, and technology development can raise questions about whose values should prevail. Balancing these values in a fair and equitable manner can be challenging. Cultural Relativism: The acknowledgment of cultural values raises questions about cultural relativism and the imposition of one culture's values on another. Striking a balance between respecting cultural diversity and upholding universal ethical principles can be complex. Technological Determinism: The influence of value judgments sometimes conflicts with the deterministic view of technology. Sociotechnical systems emphasize the human and social agency in shaping technology, challenging deterministic perspectives. Unintended Consequences: While value judgments guide technology development, they can also lead to unintended consequences. The choices made w...

THE BEST TOP-OF-THE-RANGE ANDROID SMARTPHONES IN JULY 2021

July 2021 has arrived and the desire to spend a few moments in serenity and away from the daily chaos is higher than ever. However, fans of the smartphone world never really manage to "break away" from the new releases. On the other hand, the market is able to churn out intriguing surprises at any moment, so even lying on the beach and with a good ice cream in hand we are all used to at least take a look at what is happening in the field of Android devices. This month most of the models mentioned are well known, but that doesn't mean that interesting announcements haven't arrived, for example the techwadia Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders from ASUS. Furthermore, the rumors about what will arrive in the coming months are more "lively" than ever and soon there will probably also be the announcement of the Honor Magic 3 range. Before starting with the analysis of the most valid devices, we remind you that the prices taken into account consideration are only those of Amazon Italy and the official sites of the producers.



OnePlus 9 Pro

One of the biggest strength of the OnePlus 9 Pro lies in the LTPO screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, QHD + resolution and Hyper Touch technology , which recently also received praise from DxOMark . However, the smartphone deserves to have a place in this ranking for other reasons as well, from support for 50W wireless charging to the collaboration with Hasselblad for what concerns the photographic department. Put simply, as you can read in the OnePlus 9 Pro review , this smartphone attempts to innovate the market in various ways.

Net of this, there is no shortage of excellent performance, fast charging via cable at 65W and a connectivity department that includes Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. However, this is not a perfect smartphone, as there is some imperfection in terms of the photographic department, the audio jack for the headphones is missing, the internal memory cannot be expanded and the autonomy does not really reach the top. Faced with a price of 799 euros on Amazon Italy (8 / 128GB), OnePlus 9 Pro can certainly appeal to more than someone.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2

If you usually play with your smartphone, you may find a valid ally in Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 . In fact, the smartphone has several features that can potentially make users' gaming sessions better. To give you concrete examples, the device features a semi-real Dual HaptiX vibration, as well as an Octa-Trigger system that allows you to associate various in-game functions to the buttons. Another interesting aspect of the smartphone is the support for dual charging which can reach up to 90W , as well as the presence of a cooling system that also has internal fans.

If you are interesteds, you can learn more about the product both through the review of Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 and through the appropriate page dedicated to the product, in which there are further insights that could help you understand if the smartphone is for you or not. For the rest, there is no lack of a display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, a connectivity compartment that includes Wi-Fi 6 and 5G, good autonomy and excellent performance. In addition, there is an audio compartment that a certain type of user might like. Among the main flaws we find instead a software that is not exactly the most accurate, a photographic sector that is not exactly flawless and the absence of wireless charging. Summing up, Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 can certainly represent a good solution. The price? 799 euros on the official portal (12 / 256GB).

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

An original smartphone among the top of the Android range is Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra . Its distinctive feature? The presence of a secondary display on the back , which is used to take a look at notifications and more. The usefulness of this screen is certainly a bit limited, but you understand that in the high-end a "gem" of this type stands out. Another interesting possibility, which is not often seen, is that related to the use of the fingerprint sensor, placed under the screen, to measure the heart rate.

Net of this, we find a good screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and WQHD + resolution, a connectivity department complete with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, a 67W wireless and wired charging, excellent performance and a good photographic department. For more informations, you can takes a look at our Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review . Unfortunately, everything is not perfect: you cannot expand the internal memory, weight and dimensions are not exactly the most contained and the cost is not exactly for everyone: 1399.90 euros on the official website (12 / 256GB).

ASUS ROG Phone 5

In case you are looking for a smartphone for gaming, in addition to what has already been mentioned there is ASUS ROG Phone 5 , considered by many to be one of the best devices designed for this type of use. On the other hand, the performance is at the top of the market, the connectivity department includes Wi-Fi 6E and 5G and there is a good screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz . For the rest, as you can imagine, there is certainly no shortage of features that seek to improve the gaming experience in general. If you want to deepen the matter, you can refer to our review of the ROG Phone 5 .

Too bad only for the lack of wireless charging, for the impossibility of expanding the internal memory and for a photographic department that does not reach the "milestones" seen with cameraphone. ROG Phone 5 is sold in several models that you might want to check out (who said rear OLED display?). The starting price is 799 euros on the official website (8 / 128GB).

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

Samsung's portfolio in 2021 presents a device that represents a sort of "turning point": we refer to Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G . In fact, the smartphone does not stop at confirming the qualities already seen in the past with this series, it also goes to "fish" what has usually been the peculiar feature of the Galaxy Note range: support for the S Pen .

In addition to this, the device is solid from multiple points of view. In fact, there is no lack of good performance, an excellent display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a connectivity sector that includes 5G and Wi-Fi 6, a complete software department and a photographic sector that does not disappoint expectations. To learn more about the product, you can refer to our Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G review . Only the lack of the charger in the package, the inability to expand the internal memory, a charging speed that is not the highest and an autonomy not exactly at the top of the market make the nose turn up a little. Despite this, the product is interesting, compared to a cost of 1129 euros on Amazon Italy (12 / 128GB).

Market choice: Xiaomi Mi 11

Taking into consideration the ranking of Amazon's Bestseller smartphones (which we remember is constantly changing), at the time of writing the top of the range that has most convinced our local users of the well-known e-commerce portal is Xiaomi Mi 11 , sold at 699 , 90 euros (8 / 128GB). The price is therefore interesting and the smartphone finds its main strengths in an excellent AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rates and WQHD + resolution, in the 55W charger, in a photographic sector that does not disappoint expectations, in good performance and in the complete connectivity department which also has 5G and Wi-Fi 6 support

Of course, a not-so-good fingerprint sensor makes you turn up your nose. Furthermore, there are some flaws at a photographic level and the autonomy is average. In any case, many have appreciated this model and therefore you may be interested in deepening our review of Xiaomi Mi 11 .

Best folding and extensible Android top-of-the-range products

We must not forgets the fact that the high-end of the Android smartphone market also includes different types of devices than usual. We refer to folding and extendable smartphones. In the first cases, there are now several interesting models already on sale in Italy . A few names? Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Motorola RAZR 5G. Incidentally, on August 11, 2021, Samsung will hold an event to likely present Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3.

There are also several rumors about the fact that other famous brands may soon decide to focus properly on folding smartphones. Among the most prominent brands at the center of the rumors we find vivo, Google and Honor. We then recall that there has already been, for example, the reveal of Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold . As for extensible devices, there aren't any actual devices on the market yet, but you might want to take a look at our OPPO X 2021 test . In short, between folding and extensible, the situation is becoming more and more interesting.

Between news and rumors: from Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders (ASUS) to Xiaomi Mi 12

We are in a phase in which the "big announcements" reach a certain point, but this does not mean that the news regarding the flagship world has not arrived. In fact, the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders was announced abroad, which sees the interesting collaboration of ASUS . Additionally, Honor apparently has an event in store for August 12, 2021 , where it could present the Magic 3 series . For the rest, the rumors are focusing mainly on Huawei P50, Samsung Galaxy S22, Motorola Edge 20 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, Google Pixel 6 and Xiaomi Mi 12.

Furthermore, the possibility of choice is certainly not lacking, also given the number of smartphones released in the previous months. To give you concrete examples, we mention vivo X60 Pro (the UEFA EURO 2020 device, here the analysis ), ZTE Axon 30 Ultra ( here the review ), RedMagic 6 ( here the deepening ), OPPO Find X3 Pro ( here the review ), Xiaomi Mi 11i, Motorola Moto G100 ( here the test ), TCL 20 Pro 5G ( here more information ), OPPO Find X3 Neo ( the analysis is online ), Sony Xperia 1 III, Sony Xperia 5 III ( here more details ), Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G (Snapdragon 865), ASUS ZenFone 8 and ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip (here more information ).
