HellNino: I won't lie, I wasn't really shocked because I know that they can pull it off. I use an Itel A56 pro and so far, I can tell you that this phone has outperformed my expectation. No lagging, very fast internet speed, battery na 4000mah, e dey last die. What more can I ask for in a phone really?
lol. That's great. Atleast they are boosting customer's Confidence.
wills2437: Please phone gurus/enthusiast help me with the current price of the below phones at slot store(lagos) or any other stores within lagos with fair price.Thanks in anticipation
HellNino: Your last paragraph was exactly what I was discussing with a friend of mine yesterday. The guy was of the opinion that they focus on budget devices but I had to let him know that the negative reviews they were getting were actually as a result of focusing on budget phones in a world that is evolving. We now live in a world where phones now carry 4 to 16 gb RAM. Why won't they laugh when they see a 1gb RAM device forgetting that it's a budget offering. I sincerely think that itel should flex their muscles a bit. Especially now that they're starting to put their house in order. Their latest devices are great and I'm sure that they can deliver high-end if they want to.
you have a very good point. Itel is improving greatly these days. I was shocked when I saw their devices' specs.
Stallion93: OP you got some things wrong especially the old high ends vs new mid/low range phones. The new iPhone SE 2020 carries the Bionic A14 chip but it's a new mid range, It surely outperforms the old Flagships in fluency of running apps and of course will live past them
it is relative. It's not like it's all old devices that have higher chipset than the new ones. It's just relative.
RubiesBanking: Nah, you will be suprised to know infinix have used a Qualcomm chipset in the past on one of their phones. Besides mediatek is improving, it won't benefit anyone if Qualcomm is the only chip manufacturer in the game. They can decide to slam a huge price tag on their latest chipset since they have no rival. The redmi note 8 pro and some mid budget phones uses the mediatek g90t which is competing with the Snapdragon 720g.
Vivien458: Hello, I am a lady who is a tech lover.. I want to Educate some of my friends, especially ladies, on what and best things to overlook that are just for fancy..
Refresh rates: we hear about 120hz, 90hz refresh rate..sometimes you watch a review and the reviewer will say, the phone only supports 90hz and it's poor etc.. but the truth is, you won't even know if you have 90hz or 120hz. Infact, almost every tv in your house is 60hz, and you won't even notice a single thing..some monitors are 50hz sef and you won't even notice a single difference. This is just a gimmick, over look it.
Ram; well this is a little bit complicated. Ram is Random access memory.. we see phones having 12gb or Rams, like Samsung phones, etc. 8gb ram, 6gb etc.. What does ram really do? Well, it is used to run so many applications at same time..it helps keeps some background apps open etc.. how much ram do you need on a smartphone? 4gb ram is sufficient enough for everyday use without noticing a lag..and of course it is normal for phones to get slow over time. Even the 3wgb ram on a desktop can get quite slow when using high demanding ram applications.. don't fall for the 6gb, 8gb or even 12gb. You don't need it. Most and all games will rum at 4gb perfectly.. what you should really look at is the processor and the GPU needed for the games.
Older phones are now outdated; Well this is the most stupid of them all. Example, the Google pixel 4XL is actually better than the pixel 5. The pixel 5 now has a low end GPU and processor..another example is getting a pixel 3a over pixel 3xl or even pixel 2xl.. in terms of raw power, the older pixel where high end phones and the newer is a low end..another example is getting Samsung a50 over Samsung S8. This is a blunder because the s8 was a high end of it time, and processors don't age that fast .a quad-core processor will take you upto 5 to 6 years before you can notice decrease in performance... Always consider high end phones of older years over low end of newer generations.
4k, 2k and 1080p: This is another gimmick to sell phones..most users don't own a 2k tv talkless of a 4k. How would you watch the 4k video? This is a welcome technology for the future, but for now. 1080p is still the standard, what you should focus on is if the camera has video stabilization.
