Top 10 trending phones of week 42

Much like last week we have a Samsung phone topping our trending chart only it’s the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which despite being almost 9 months old now ended up as the most popular phone in our database.

Behind it is an even older phone – the Galaxy S21 FE was prominently featured in several sales events and people were clearly looking for a refresher on its specs. Then there’s the ever popular Galaxy A54 to complete an all-Samsung podium.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max rose to fourth and pushed the Galaxy S23 FE all the way down to fifth.

Redmi Note 12 leads the Google Pixel 8 Pro in sixth and seventh, followed by three more Xiaomi phones. The 13T is in eight, the Redmi 12 is ninth and the Redmi Note 12 Pro completes this edition of the chart. The 13T Pro is the one member from last week’s edition to drop out!

See you next week!

日租家庭

《日租家庭》細膩有深度，看完才知導演是榮獲艾美獎最佳迷你劇《齮齕人生》（BEEF）的Hikari，怪不得。此片像溫柔的手術刀，精準剖開現代人最難以啟齒的病灶——孤獨。我們活在一個空前「連綫」卻無比孤獨的時代。社媒的讚好如潮水般湧來又退去，真實擁抱卻稀缺如金。導演Hikari捕捉到的，正是這種後疫情時代的情感悖論：人們渴望連結，卻又畏懼真實連結帶來的風險、受傷與責任。於是，一個畸形的市場應運而生——「日租家人」。原來日本社會真有這種服務。真諷刺，我們居然要用金錢購買本該最無價的情感勞動。電影有兩個情節，簡直是當代關係異化極致：單親媽媽為讓女兒順利入學，租用一位失意美國演員Philip（即男主）扮演「完整家庭」的丈夫。她以為用錢能砌出幸福假象，能為女兒鋪一條坦途。另邊廂，出軌丈夫聘女演員扮小三，向太太道歉，看似荒謬，實則是最狠的算計，用一場表演保護背後真小三不受傷害，也保住不倫關係。這兩場交易裏，金錢是遮羞布，企圖掩蓋關係中最核心的瘡疤：欺騙、背叛與匱乏。女孩Mia那句天真的詰問：「為何大人那麼喜歡講大話？」Philip的回答，是整部電影的撮要：「或許因為講大話比道出真相容易。」我們以為編織一個華麗謊言，就能繞過真相帶來的泥濘與陣痛。但謊言是租來的，總有到期之時；而真實，即使千瘡百孔，卻是我們唯一能真正擁有的東西。Brendan Fraser（布蘭登費雪）將男主角Philip那種歷盡滄桑後的疲憊、善良，以及在扮演他人的過程中重新尋回「被需要」感的微妙轉變，演繹得絲絲入扣。他用眼神和肢體語言就能訴說一個靈魂的孤獨史，影帝之名，實至名歸。此片不是要批判那些租用家人的人，而是讓我們看見，當真實的連結太難，人們竟可悲到要用交易來換取片刻的溫暖。問題是，當戲演完了，錢付清了，我們剩下的，會否只是更深的孤獨？ Source link
