Hi guys, so I need a little bit of explanation, the internet has been driving me crazy with no straightforward way to go about it.

I would have loved to get the laptop first and try out various means of solving it, but my OCD won't let me be.
I want to get a laptop, it isn't for gaming, more on 3d rendering and stuff, It's a dell precision with 4gb quadro m1200.

So I checked some sites and it could run games from 2016 thereabout on 1080p mid to high settings in about 30-35 fps, some like gta v runs 30 to 35fps on 1080p high settings, fifa 21 runs higher than that 65-70 fps on the same settings. I correlated this with 2 sites, so it's accurate to an extent.

Now the thing is that I read that 30 fps on a laptop won't look as smooth as a console on the same 30fps, since the one on the console is capped at 30fps and the one on the laptop would fluctuate frame rates.
I play ps4 games and I know they are better optimized even though they are running 1080p mid to high with 30fps. Gamers that have gamed on a laptop and ps4 how noticeable is it?

I know some games like fifa 21 can hit 60fps on that card, but I wouldn't want other games that would fluctuate the frame rates, going from 30's to 40's then back the 30's.
I'm guessing things like that wouldn't make the experience smooth, I haven't gamed on a laptop before so I don't have much knowledge. Most of what I saw online were referring to PC's, and the some solutions can't work for a laptop, like one of them was using a monitor that has variable refresh rate and setting it to 30 hz, while using v-sync or rtss(i can't recall which one) to cap it at 30 fps.

I want to play games that would give me a similar smooth experience as I would get on a ps4(please don't tell me to buy a console) that is playing on 1080p mid to high settings on 30 fps~ no stutter or screen tear, I just want it to look as good graphically and smooth as it would on a normal ps4.

I don't care about higher frame rates if they're going to fluctuate at the end of the day.
Also to note, games like fifa 21 that would see 65 to 70fps, mortal kombat 11, would give me 50-55 fps on 1080p ultra settings
which might be ideal on a 60hz screen but I'm worried how other games would look when I get used to this, I don't want to get used to 50 to 70 fps, then when I play gta v, I'd be getting 30-35fps and I'm worried it might look somehow worse.
I just want all my games at 1080p mid to high settings 30fps~

If you have any experience using v-sync or rtss to do this, can you kindly explain how I might be able to achieve this, I just want a smooth gameplay.
P.S I only have 6 games in mind I want to play and most of them are from 2016, and I will be storing them on an external hard drive, and I might occasionally play by connecting to a TV through hdmi

Anyways, we can always agree to disagree. It's a free world like that Infinix guy said. No wham my guy.

Make we leave the matter. I'm sure OP has gotten enough insight to help her make a choice.

Yes boss, the OP sef go don tire for all the back and forth on the thread lol. Anyone wey she buy, go serve am well.
They are both good phones.

Auskyd:


Hehehe bro have you used a 120htz screen before? Cos if you have, you wouldn't be saying this thing. Cameras, the A73 has a better front facing camera than the note 10. Go check am. For pictures, it takes really good pictures unless you are into photography.

Saying the A73 scores an A doesn't automatically means the note 10 plus scores a B in them. I wonder where you got that from (na Naija way of arguing, na so una dey do).

Android updates are crucial to a device. The best devices will lag and stutter one day because the OS on them is not agile enough to carry the weight of the apps that come with them. Do you think promising 4 updates was just a gimmick? Have you seen what lagging on a phone can do to you? Bro no dey talk this thing for outside. Updates is one of the top reasons people stick with a brand. Optimization is everything!
.all your tech YouTubers don't play with it.

The note 10 is a very very capable device. Very very good one. It will do the job just fine and you'll enjoy it like mad.

I'm just telling you that if you are going to pick one, pick the A73. Glass, glass, but when una buy phone, first thing is to put a case on it. So what's the difference, really?

Boss I don operate phone with 90 hertz and 120 hertz abeg, I go still choose Samsung's flagship wqhd over it. If it's 1080p
So na front camera you use as rebound as per camera, you sef know say case no dey for that department, note 10 is better.

I meant that statement sarcastically, I didn't mean the note 10 plus scores a B, na you no understand sarcasm.

Yes updates are important but you're making sound like old flagships would be lagging like hell, chai, me wey I dey use s8+ snapdragon version, I don't see a single lag for basic activities, and that's a phone from 2017, I handled a pixel 2xl the other day, and I was like mehn, it was still smooth, no cap, but it was on android 11, and my time with it, I didn't see much difference between it and my s8+, and they're both 2017 flagships.
Not to talk of a 2019 flagship, 5 years from now, the lag on the note 10 plus would be minimal and you would only see it when playing latest games on high settings, not for normal use.

And glass glass wasn't the reason I was choosing it over A73 lol.

Auskyd:


You're mentioning investments? Is it because you want to resell? Samsung as weak resell value over time. The moment you leave the shop, it loses 10% of it's value lol. Ask people on Nairaland who sell it. Na panic we take dey sell am because if you don't sell it as soon as you get it, you'd sell at a loss. And again, you're getting the very same thing you'd get on a note 10 plus and more.

Go and watch YouTube videos and see.

Gaming A+
Camera A
Battery A
SOT A

Updates. 4 android updates over just one for the note 10 ( and that's in mid 2023 that's right, it will not see android 13 before the A73 lmao)

Wireless charging? Yes.

So other than the s-pen and the glass back? What exactly is that thing the note does better than the A73?


Tell me.

No I wasn't talking about resale value, I'm talking about the fact that you'd purchase something lesser and still get more from the price you're getting it.
Compare the Note 10 plus price now. What midranger can you get with that price that the Note 10 plus wouldn't demolish? The A73 is now even more expensive, and that's the reason I'd always use an old flagship instead of a mid ranger. It's more value for a lesser price. That's investment, you'd save money.

So Note 10 plus scores B minus for everything abi, every thing that you mentioned the Note 10 plus is better than the A73 at it except for the battery, the SOT and battery works hand in hand they can't be seperate categories.

Better Screen, forget the 120hz display on the A73 it's just to make animations look smoother, a wqhd over it anyday, it's even 1080p again, Better Cameras on the note 10 plus abeg, Better performance, the chipset on the Note 10 plus is superior, you already mentioned build quality, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging dey, wetin dey phone again wey you wan compare?
What thing are you now getting on A73 and more, where's the more, the A73 falls slightly behind the note 10 plus on all these thing I've mentioned.

Oya bros wetin android updates wan do for you like this? Na why you kuku dey back A73.

Auskyd:


People wey dey use better devices dey talk, Transsion user sef dey chook mouth lmao. Abeg leave me this guy

The fact say him dey use transsion device no mean say e no sabi better thing, if money dey and he buy s22 ultra tomorrow, you no go dey talk this kind thing

Auskyd:


Have you used the A73?

Have you used the note 10 plus?

My guess is no.

So me wey don use both no sabi wetin I dey talk abi?

You guys think I'm saying the a73 is better. I'm not saying that. I'm saying if you were to choose one over the long term, the A73 is better. Shikena.

It's the smarter choice. If I put a casing on the A73 and didn't tell you the series, you'd think it's a flagship. That's how good that phone is. Enter any store and check. No be by blind argument.

No I haven't, so if I have a decision to make, buying a note 10 plus vs A73 tomorrow, because i haven't used it I wouldn't know which one would be better?

Okay so you're not saying it's better? Lmao.
Just for longevity as per software updates abi?
So you'd ignore everything the note 10 plus has over it because of software updates?
How is it smart? You're not even getting better value for money on the A73 compared to a note 10 plus. So how is that a smart investment ?

Effulgent:


No mind am, the guy just dey argue anyhow since, instead make him research and learn.

The thing dey annoy me as I dey read am sef, but it's Nairaland and it is a free world. Everyone Is entitled to their opinion.

Swears man! I didn't want to comment before sef, but when I saw the person that was arguing I was surprised lol. You wey dey sell flagship phones.

Auskyd:


You opened your own thread to argue this same issue and I now know why you dey talk like this. You haven't used a good Midranger from Samsung before.

Very obvious.


Na why you get mind dey talk all these in support of something you know nothing about. I'd pick an A51 over an s9plus anyday, because I know how they work and how much I can get out of them in a day. You dey talk based on feelings, I'm telling you based on using more than 40 and counting, flagships and midrangers.

No P. Rest bro. Keep your disappointment.

Yes I opened a thread about it, because if we compare some midrangers to old flagships, old flagships are superior.
Okay I haven't used a good midranger from Samsung before, and correction I know what I'm talking about, you're actually the one talking based on feelings and you're not sounding like someone that knows how phones work at all.

The main issue here is even a note 10 plus vs a73.
And your points were android updates and battery over a note 10 plus, we still hear battery.
We are not in 2013, if your phone stops recieving andriod updates it's not the end of the world.
Note 10 plus is superior, who dey argue this kind thing sef, lmao.

Don't bring A51 and S9 plus, if you want to do that open a thread for it, this thread was for the note 10 plus and A73.

P.S I'm still dissapointed

Auskyd:


Baba rest with your chief compliment, and please don't be disappointed. I no be your papa abeg.

Wetin concern me? Lmao

I no dey compliment you boss, na the way I dey relate with guys I follow you talk.
Why I no go dey dissapointed, you wey dey sell premium gadgets, wey person think say you go know better, e dey dissapointing abeg.

Auskyd:


No need to argue with you Sha. Na iPhone be your Market. You don't sell android, and I don't think you use them. If you did, na the low budget ones. Shebi you dey complain the other day here?

Leave samsung for we wey Sabi am. Face your iPhone bro. Nothing you Sabi reach there

Omo the Onyeka guy wey dey sell iphone sabi pass you wey dey sell and use Android, all his points are valid. Honestly chief coming from you, it's dissapointing from where you stand based on your points lol

Pandasofire:
Lol no mind am boss
E don see Xioami triple camera 100MP im eye dey shine
Something even Google Pixel 2XL with single camera go use wipe floor

Lol bro, at the end of the day, it's his money, he can buy whatever he pleases.

willjoe:
Guys, I've got a budget of 100k for a new phone. However I'm very camera conscious. Please recommend the best phones in this category. Thanks!

Op listen to the first guy that commented, Google pixel 3 or 3xl is your best bet

Asianjollof007:


I did, it must have been a software issue. It's now working though.

Ok good to hear bro

Asianjollof007:


I off am, e no gree off. Screen blank and calibration still works, i still dey pick incoming calls sef.

Hmm that's strange, how sure are you that you clicked the power off toggle

Asianjollof007:
My new S8 not up to two months developed an issue yesterday. It went off and refused to turn on until this morning, now it's on but the screen isn't displaying. Calibration still working, i can pick calls but the screen is blank.

Bro try factory resetting it manually, with the buttons there, make sure it's turned off first.

Also to mention using the 33wat charger of my Note 10s is very fast charging the s8+ almost the same charge time. One other thing I have noticed. Because of the bad screen I charged and left my s8+ and the battery drain slow. A whole week just checked today and saw its 16% left. I was surprised to be honest

I guess you still have solid battery life then, and also it's probably best not to use a 33 watts charger for the s8+ because it's rated at 15 watts, using 33 watts might degrade the battery much faster.

braindollar:


Thank you so much for this. I noticed all these before the screen went white on me(screen bleeding). That was even the reason I wanted to fix it. Even graphic intense game like ghensing impact was enjoyable on s8+ and the display blew my mind off

Yeah, the s8+ is still very good up till now, glad you're a user that can see what I'm talking about.

symbianDON:
nice to know!! I'll love to try out the LG flagship then

They're underrated my guy

symbianDON:
I was lucky to still have a premium nokia earphones which I use with my Samsung.....the sound is incredible!! Plus Samsung's sound assistant is great!

That's nice man, right now I'm not using any wired earphones, just wireless bluetooth pods, the sound is good, but nothing beats wired headphones, I'm planning to buy one just haven't made up my mind on which one to go for.

For the sound assistant you mean dolby atmos right?
