Ok, but from the best tech YouTubers, I haven't seen a review yet.
Even MKBHD hadn't as at that time I posted.

Lol. Your statement is a bit misleading...

People don't go for lack of accuracy. Otherwise, LG phones would be sold more. Customers take OLEDS for their deep blacks 9 times out of 10 (+ infinite contrast). If it's about having >100% on the Adobe RGB scale, LG and some Sony have Samsung beat. Samsung has the perfect way to combine the paper stats to produce a display remarkable


Secondly, the most accurate display is found on the Samsung s9, the best display in the world but that's in RGB mode. Now iPhone X has the second most accurate display in the world ON AUTO. It also has the 2nd best display on a phone. So you see where your analogy about going for lack of color accuracy is found wanting?





He he he, I understand sha.
I didn't have time to explain so much (I'm the voice note kinda guy).
Your reply totally makes sense.

But you can somehow get my point

The most accurate are not the best and the best is not the most accurate (basically) grin

The reason I quoted you was where you said indirectly s8 display was better than the iPhone x which isn't so. In fact, all iPhones from the 6 have the most accurate colors on any phone until s9 showed up


Sure, s9 has the indistinguishable better screen, but that's only in Photo Mode, which most faithfuls don't use...


More accurate colors doesn't necessarily translate to better displays.

Infact the lack of accuracy is what most people are looking for, that extra punch.

Samsung displays are and have been way better for years now.
No doubt the one on the iPhone X is very good

Especially those Chinese phones, it's like they wait for apple to release their phones and they follow trend. Apple remived the headphone jack and now everyone is removing the headphone jack. Apple added the notch and everyone is doing same. Apple phones don't have app drawer and lots of Android phones now come with launchers without app drawer. Apple named their phone iPhone x and lots of OEM are now adding x to the name of their phones. If apple decides to remove speakers from their phone lots of these oems will follow. I still give it to Samsung for keeping it real. Still have the headphone jack (at least for now), no notch (for now).


But Apple wasn't the first to release a phone with a notch na.
And no one's saying Apple copied the essential phone.

I get that their notch sizes and styles are different

Apple added some notch-related functionality though
And the other copycats don't have any software functionality relating to the notch

On the iPhone X, swiping down from either side of the notch does a different thing.
That's still fair.

Honestly, the title weak me.
I am a OnePlus fan but ion go around claiming this one's better than the iPhone X.
It's based on preference.
They not even running on the same OS

The review of this phone is not yet out.
We don't even know how sweet it'll be yet.
Or whether it's much of an upgrade over the 5T

Phones / Re: Xiaomi Redmi 5 Unboxing Honest Review Pros And Cons Pics Included by samodan(m): 7:08pm On May 15, 2018
BeardedTraveler:






You'll be surprised that the 3300maH would last longer than the average 4000maH. This is because the processor used (SD450) is a 14nm processor which makes it more power efficient than the average MTK processor that is 28nm


Honestly, I wish everyone knew this.
The processors determine power consumption.
A 4000mAh battery on the Infinix hot note is like a tank with 2 taps
And the 3300mAh battery in this xiaomi phone is like a slightly smaller tank with only one tap

When the phones are in use.
Every tap they have will be open

Now which one will get empty first
It's only logical

Phones / Re: Charging A New Bought Phone by samodan(m): 1:03am On Apr 26, 2018
You do not actually need to charge your new phone to a 100% before using, I never do.
I don't really understand how a myth from the 90s is still alive till today

We no longer use Nickel-cadmium batteries that had the memory effect where you had to charge it fully so it didn't forget where it's full capacity is at.

We've used Li-Ion batteries that put an end to all that
And now we use Li-polymer batteries.
There's no such thing

Thanks

big thanks to everyone finally i get my phone working it cost me just 4500naira you wont believe the phone only got battery problem and it working perfectly bigs thanks you can now see pec or tecno customer service they are all scam asking for 42000 to repaire a phone....


Nice
Just like i said, you'd be very surprised at how low it'll cost you compares to their shit

Carlcare is a dump most of the time
The only time I had to take my phone was cos it was the phantom Z (parts were ultra scarce)
Just to fix sim slot and battery
They said it was free but i had to pay 2.5k to replace my missing camera glass
I was like, how does the missing camera glass concern anything
They said it's their policy to have any external damage fixed before repair

Ok o
How's it gon be
They said they'll wipe my phone too
WTF?
I left and returned another day (having backed up all my files)
Got there and another attendant told me the camera glass replacement cost just 1k


So i realised the first lady wanted to scam me for shit


And that's how they do
For very basic faults
They'll tell you it's the board



Well
I'm happy you had your phone fixed for a very reasonable price elsewhere

Phones / Horrible Standby Time On My Tecno Camon C7 by samodan(m): 11:44am On Dec 28, 2017
Hello bosses,
I'm impressed with the battery life on this phone (considering the 2500mAh battery) cos it doesn't drain fast when in use

And cos of power supply here i haven't seen the phone get below 40%

Now, early this morning (around 4:30am) , i left the phone unplugged at about 95% and slept
When i woke (around 11:30am), i met it at 73%
The things that drained the battery are WiFi and Phone Idle
Pls it's just too weird cos WiFi wasn't even turned on, anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Pls if you have any ideas to fix this
I'll appreciate if you let me know

Thanks

I'm not an apple fanboy but I don't hate the iPhone (iOS)
It's a very dope operating system
You won't even have the need to get help from other users cos everything's stable

There just a few things that i don't like about it

Well I'm an Android User and I've used an IPhone in the past (iOS 9.3 so not so long ago)

It's my favourite
Even tho i haven't really had enough time with Poweramp

It has it's own powerful equalizer too
And it let's me blacklist a certain song so it doesn't show or play along with my main songs
Helps mostly for recordings that wee just randomly play as I'm listening to songs

You can also change the color theme if you not cool with blue

It will just consume alot of power and it will still be inaccurate if your selfie camera does not have a wide-angle lens. It's a welcome development though.


Exactly, it's gotta be wide angled for it to work
Because from the description

"Poor camera power"
Is that even a term?
Camon CX has a better camera than the iPhone 6 (it's been tested)
Then there's the Gionee S6s with 32GB internal and 3GB RAM, Camera is really good too and very detailed

Anyways
Since you don't want MTK at al
There's the Galaxy S6
You can see it for 60k
And it's Camera is way better than the iPhone 6 camera

Yes it does, when you want to manage data (stop some selected apps from connecting).

If you just want to know how much data individual apps are using

It won't need to activate it's VPN
