u even had time to start plugging otg HDMI to AV cable when u can easily chrome cast/ screen mirror cheesy

The world and technology is evolving.. although u have to be financially stable to flow along with the trends.. I try as much as possible to stay afloat of technology no matter the cost..I make sure all I use are modern and quality as I can afford.

In my school...wrote 80% of my theoretical tests and exams with my phone with the help of Google cheesy..many underestimates the power of internet and technology.

I change my Airtel SIM every 3 months because there is this 100% data bonus they give their new customers on every sub ranging from 500 for 3 months..

I do get 30+gig for as low as 4k and the 4g in my area is second to none..many are ignorant of this anyway still subbing normal sub of 1.5 gig for 1k when u can get 7 gig + for same 1k..

I rarely sub my DStv..why will I sub 6k min-14k max for a month when I can get upto 100+ gig for same amount and stream to high heavens whilst chromecasting to my smart TV (I can choose when and how I watch).

Am not the kind to be left behind in this technology era..

Random comment tho.

I believe Smartphones will get better innovations as time goes by. I purchased a Miracast Dongle from AliExpress as well as a HDMI to AV converter plus USB type C OTG.

My Startimes decoder dey inactive as I watch on the TV anyway free without sub. DVD unkor, na dust new house be that. My phone is my decoder/dvd player. I stream games to the TV too. Like legit plug in the controller and play using the TV instead of the phone, the only drawback is the latency but once you get the timing right, your good to go.

OTG helps me type directly using a keyboard and print directly via USB. I did it at a cafe recently using their keyboard and printer and they were hailing me like one guru when really it is nothing.

I struggle to wonder why people under utilize their smartphones.

I'd like to hear your views.

I should make this an independent post tho.

Wat is Apple pro? MacBook, ipad or phone?
Cus i really don't understand Apple pro.
As for super lcd, amoled still has deeper blacks, but yes i that's a nice tech from HTC,
Oled has 120hz 4k display also.
I understand that higher refresh rates is a nice thing. And on further research, seems like I asked earlier, higher refresh rates is a thing of the display technology employed. Seems more viable on lcd dan oled.
But pls ehn, oled currently is the best for mobile display, let's not mince words about that abeg.
Outside Mobile display, the playing field is different but for mobile display... Omo na oled, amoled over ips lcd.
there are few mainstream 4k 120hz oled to start with(except those demoed in ces which aren't consumer ready yet). SImple google search for apple pro display will give you more info about it. No one is arguing that Amoled isn't good for phones, i even explained the reason in my previous post, the problem is with the way people just assume Amoled is always better than ips lcd every damn time, which is not always the case

its frustrating explaining abeg, same with mega pixel count, it's endless Make person just know wetin he wan buy. I'll go with a non smart TV over a smart one, more flexibility and cheaper even after adding tv box.

I once told someone the only thing that the curved TV have over flat is aesthetics, the viewing angle is lesser and reflection affects it more

The way people hype AMOLED display (especially on phones), you will think LCD display is nothing to write home about...AMOLED is better, yes. I love the display also, but that doesn't mean LCD is not good either.

All these nice screen qualities and resolutions are best enjoyed on bigger screens, like TVs.

When I held my galaxy s9+ and wanted to compare it with an LCD screen of lower resolution (1080 x 2340), I thought I would be irritated with the comparison, but to my surprise, I wasn't so excited about the difference.

Yes, the difference was clear, it was very visible, the AMOLED was better. But not enough to make me feel irritated at the LCD screen.

That technology is a waste of time.

That was how I spent 150k buying an LG 42 inch 3D TV in 2012 when I should have gone for a 60 inch ordinary TV.

I never used the 3D function all the 6 years the TV lasted before lightening dried fried it.

One of my greatest buying regret till date.

Did you see the test results of the S10+ I posted. It was only able to output 739 nits when on auto brightness and HDR 10+ on average 358 nits. Pushing the display for more brightness leads to screen bleeding or the shortened cell life span.

Manufacturers to sell more uses philosophy of the more better it looks the more appealing it would be to consumers. For instance an average Nigerian man won't go Alaba to get a TV and even care about the specifications, the year of manufacture and even the power consumption, as long as it looks fancy and pretty they go with it.

S10+ is not mid-range, is it? The OnePlus 7 and P30 pro are neck on neck with the S10 according to display mate.

MIUI 10.3.1.0 messed up my redmi 4x big time. It takes my phone almost 8 hours to charge to 100%. I don't know when the next update will come to fix this?

When I noticed this, I thought it was my cable, had to get a new one. When no change, had to use another 5V/2A charger. Even had to delete recently installed apps. Upon realization that it was after the update, this started occuring, I had to factory reset the phone.

Still no headway... I weak.
The battery SOT is good when charged. Me I am not too good in flashing ROM things, na there my own take bad

The person you quoted have not been active in a very loooooonnnng time.

The battery is ok, not spectacular, and it has no dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack. You have to make do with the dongle provided meaning you can't charge and make use of earphones at the same time, but Bluetooth option is always there
