jmaxjohn: threads like yours are the reason i hate nairaland right now.
i didnt wanna reply to this but i'd give you my reasons now.
galaxy s7 edge or a20 what exactly do you need in a phone? calls and text only? i still will not recommend the s7 edge even for that.
valid reasons why: 1. s7 edge is a 2016 phone (i wish number had capitals, like CAPITAL NUMBER 2016). Bro we are in 2020 already o, you may regret buying that phone, forget sey e clean. being a 2016 phone means the highest update you will find is android 8. well you may find android 9 custom rom but regular flashing actually spoils the memory chip. just buy a20 and enjoy the orgasmic beauty of one ui with high chances of android 10 upgrade by samsung in due time 1.1. speaking on memory, the s7 edge get 2 sim variant oh but be ready to share one of the sim card space for memory card. a20 uses dedicated slot so you can enjoy your 2 sims on 4g and still have your memory card.
2. how many more edge phone have you seen samsung create? non. no s9 edge, no note 10 edge. ever wondered why? no, samsung didnt just decide to drop the idea. the edge phone was just a market test by samsung to know how people will react to curved screen phones. they have advanced their screen technology now, so no need for those names anymore. wanna buy a market test?
3. unless you buy the exynos version, be ready to sit out the VERY POOR MULTITASKING AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT of a quad core processor. dont let anyone lie to you that 4gb or ram is enough. for multitasking yes, but not for battery management.
4. still on battery management, do you know that s7 edge comes with a 3600 mah battery? coupled with a mad 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~534 ppi density) in a small 5.5 inch screen phone (great display o) with amoled burn possibilities and a crappy touchwiz ui, be ready to dole an exta amount on powerbank or tie your charger for neck
5. is it games you wanna play? lets not talk about the grandpa adreno 530 in it.
6. na pictures you wan snap? a20 has dual camera which aesthetically looks better than s7 edge. yes one camera for a20 is just for ultrawide photos but see ehn, one ui gives considerable photo improvements to the images.
7. na connectivity? s7 edge uses micro usb, yes its common for now in nigeria but will soon fade away to a20 usb type c. s7 edge also uses bluetooth 4.2, slightly lesser battery management to a20 bluetooth 5.0
8. na warranty you dey find? your s7 edge warranty don expire tey.
9. s7 edge no just fine reach a20, e too ugly. a20 has a big beautiful display.
see, s7 edge is water resistant. if the phone was 30 or 35k, i wouldve bought it for my girl coz she too dey drop phone inside water, but i have no reasons why a brother should pick an s7 edge over an a20. any one who really knows phones would tell you that FLAGSHIP FEATURE OF 3/4 YEARS AGO ARE SLIGHTLY LESSER THAN MIDRANGE FEATURES OF TODAY.
if getting an a20 isnt so convenient, save your money for it. better buying what you'd be happy with than what you'd soon start regretting.
i'm out. enjoy my free advice Very good reply bro! |
