atheistandproud: This is why the Nigerians will continue to fail IELTS because of a lack of English comprehension. Simple comprehension.
A post about SPECS.
Premise A: Apple oversees the entire process of making their phones so their SPECS ARE EASIER to understand.
Premise B: Android OEMs on the other hand source parts from very different manufacturers and put them together. Thus their SPECS ARE HARDER to understand.
Conclusion from a Nigerian: So we should go and buy iPhone?
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful. I cannot cry at this point so I'll laugh.
See, if all you gained from the entire article is that quoted comment above then I see no reason to continue engaging you.
you're not making sense. So Samsung, Huawei and others don't oversee the process of making their phones? Get Sense
To know iPhones that can run an app, just say iPhone 6S and above for example. It's easy.
We all know that A12 Bionic is better than A11 and better than A10, and so on.
But with android devices, between Exynos 1280 and SD765G, which one is better, off the top of your head?
You won't know right now till you check. That's why it's harder. That's what I was trying to explain.
But they just twisted my words out of context. He even called me proud .
As in... totally uncalled for.
you're obviously an apple fan boy, I don't know how you'll be looking for fault where there isn't. We could say the same about Intel and AMD. Their are many core i3 far better than core i5 but you also won't know till you check.
And as far as I'm concerned iphone 6s, iphone 7, iphone 7s are all shitty phones
atheistandproud: eFootball 2022 Mobile has been out for over a week now. I have had enough time to go through the game as well play a few matches. So, in the post we’re going to be looking at eFootball 2022 mobile first impressions.
In this eFootball 2022 mobile first impressions post, we are going to look at the new UI, game modes, gameplay and other new aspects of the game.
The new UI is definitely one of the first things that you’ll see as soon as you jump into the game. It utilizes a blue and yellow color scheme for the background. It is divided into three parts: eFootball world, shop and extras.
The eFootball world contains all the game modes, team selection, players, contracts etc. The shop is used for buying coins or exchanging eFootball points while the extras contains user info, settings, commentary etc.
It was very confusing at first and overwhelming but I soon got used to it after some time.
Game modes
There are two main game modes here. These are Authentic Team and Dream team.
Authentic team is basically preset exhibition mode. Where you pick a ream that corresponds to its real life counterpart and just play an exhibition match.
Dream team on the other hand refers to all the competitions that you can play using the team that you have built with players that you own. There are three main modes in the Dream team: events, eFootball league and online quick match.
This is mostly where you’d find me lol. I love the events and I have made it to Division 6 in the eFootball league.
The gameplay
The new gameplay is slowed down to reflect the new realism that eFootball is portraying. Everything is slower. The arcade style of PES 2021 has been replaced with a more methodical play style that feels almost console like.
The AI is also much smarter, I have had my ass handed to me by the AI on legendary and Superstar mode. My level right now is top player and AS Roma still beat me regardless. I’ll get better I guess.
Offence
For offense, it is a lot easier to attack than to defend in this game. That’s the first thing you’ll notice. Pressing from the front with G. Zeitzler 4-3-3 quick counter does wonders. That being said, I prefer L. Roman or M. Arteta’s possession style football. The players do make very smart runs if you play the right passes.
For shooting tho, stunning shot for the most part is the way to go. Regular shots and finesse shots seems to have been weakened. I keep hitting the bar with finesse shots which is really annoying.
Defence
This is where I have an axe to grind with the game. Defending seems broken and you have do everything manually. Simply spamming the “press” button doesn’t work anymore. All it does is make your defenders jog after the opposing strikers.
What actually works to a large extent is the match-up style of defending. Do not execute the double press for any reason, never do it. Your opponent will completely destroy you as your defence will fall open.
Learn how to match up defence as though your life depended on it. That being said, matchup can be beaten by smart passing and since you can only control one defender at a time. The auto-switching function is useless and manual player switching is not any better. I have conceded needless goals because the player switch function failed to work when I desperately needed it to.
See: eFootball Mobile new controls
Controls
The control are the same from last year with added functionality, but with the new gameplay, you’ll have to start over. The issue I had was trying to play eFootball 22 as though it was PES 21. I got my ass beat badly. So i have decide to relearn it afresh and it has worked wonders.
My only issue with the controls is that I cannot assign the press function to different buttons, but that’s alright. I’ll get used to it.
Acquiring players/managers
Getting players and managers are a lot easier in eFootball 22, a whole lot easier. I no longer need a box draw to get players. I just go to the store and buy them. The same thing can also be said for managers as well. I just go and buy them as well.
Sadly, the stupid coin cash grab box draws are still present in the game. These ones seem to pack the best players which would cause people to throw money at it.
In terms of ability, the gap between featured, legend, trending and standard players have been greatly reduced. So much so that I am no longer interested box draw players. My very decent Arsenal team has gotten me to Division 7.
Team building and player training
This is a lot harder to do now. In the old days, you could simply let players train progressively by using them in a lot of matches. Now, it is a whole new kettle of fish. Using players in games only gives them experience points. You need to use trainers to convert those experience points into progression points.
Using progression points is tricky as it is an irreversible process. It is important that you use progression points for play style first before using them for stats. Stats for players are not important. A player’s affinity for a certain play style will determine how well he will play.
Players that are well trained with progression points for possession play style will do well with a coach that likes possession based football. The same is also true for managers with other play styles. To play well, ensure that the team has at least 90 team play style level.
The player selection menu is horrendous. Sorting players is hell.
See: eFootball 2022 Mobile update
Contracts
Contracts are now time based instead of match based. All standard players have a contract duration of 1 year (365 days). The carryover legendary players have none. Contract tickets are worth 25,000 eFootball points and are only durable for 2 months or 60 days.
In order to ameliorate this issue, Konami gave out about 25 contracts per person. I’ll advise that you use them wisely because winter is coming.
The game plan by Konami from my vantage point is to discourage the use of old legendary players, forcing players to discard them for new ones. This is because new legendary players all have 1 years contracts automatically. Very sly Konami, very sly.
Conclusions
In conclusion, I like the game and I think it is a challenge to rewire my old muscle memory and adapt to the new gameplay. This game comes with a lot of new animations which I really like, especially the last minute goal celebration.
But, the defending is horrible and the poor player switching is very very annoying. I hope someone does something about that very quickly. The contract situation with our old IMs is also really bad as well and the lack of contract tickets makes it worse.
Overall, I’d give the game a B.
With that we have come to the end of this post on eFootball 2022 mobile first impressions.
Most of the things I'm going to say are already well known by the big men here as well as anyone else who's been in this group since January.
I find it funny that the people who used to go out of their way to fight me both on Facebook and Nairaland have disappeared into their holes. Especially when eFootball popped.
The folks who said specs are not important. Go and buy the phone and test first. That crew. They've all disappeared.
Are specs important now? Ehn marketers?
iOS devices like iPads, iPods and iPhones are very straightforward to understand as clearly stated on the screenshot.
Android on the other hand is not.
Why?
This is because Android is a jumbled mess of different parts from different manufacturers that are cobbled up together into one device.
Let's take my Redmi Note 9 Pro for example.
The SoC made by Snapdragon with blueprint from ARM. The RAM is made by Samsung, the LCD display is made by Tianma, software from Google, cameras by Samsung and OmniVision etc.
All of these different components were put together by Xiaomi to give us the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
So when it comes to android, there's no universal rule book to use. Lots of people talk about android as if they're referring to a singular entity which is wrong.
Android is not a phone. It is the largest operating system by user count in the world today.
And if you don't look it closely, you won't understand it.
It's not as simple as "my friend's android is playing this game why is my own not playing it? My own must play it, give me a magic solution.
After all android na android."
It is very sad that too many people have this really closed mindset, so much so that they're unteachable.
Even two Android devices from the same company will behave very different. This is especially true for all those Samsung people.
The ones that are willing to go and buy Samsung A02 because Samsung is above every other android. Then they'll be wondering why their phone doesn't support eFootball.
The Samsung S series and the A series are two very different entities.
The Redmi Note * pro and the regular Redmi and Redmi Note devices are very different things.
So why do people make these somewhat silly mistakes?
Because of a glorification of ignorance. Knowledge doesn't matter. Especially when ignorant mobs gather and make fun of the person trying to tell them facts.
I don't want to go too deep into all that.
But the takeaway is that specs are the fundamental information about any device.
It is this information that will let you know what the devices can or cannot do.
In this case let's look at PES and the requirements that they brought for Android.
Software: Android 7.0 or above
Memory: 2GB or above
CPU: ARM based quad core or above
Clock speed: 1.5GHz or above
GPU:
These are the specs that Konami have put out and when I saw them, I laughed.
Why?
Because these are the same specs that Tencent put out for PUBG 4 years ago.
The only difference being that the android version was 5.0 minimum and clock speed was 1.3GHz minimum.
I raised the issue on Reddit and Nairaland but as usual nobody paid any attention. It was only on the blog that people started asking...
Would phone a support the game?
Would phone b support the game?
Would phone c support the game?
And I answered as best as I could.
The rest people simply didn't care. Their phones met the minimum requirements.
Then the game dropped and we started seeing message like...
My phone met the minimum requirements, but it doesn't work. Somebody help.
At this point, I was vindicated that the so called requirements were a scam and truly undersold the needed parameters that a phone would need to run PES.
Funnily enough, if you check the bottom of the screenshot, there's a disclaimer there that many people failed to read.
So it would be easy for me to come and just tell you that phone A will support but phone B will not support.
That's what a lot of people are expecting but I would not be doing you a lot of good if I did that.
Not at all.
I want you to know the reason behind these things and then give you the tools to figure it out all by yourself even without my input.
In this whole mess of people feeling cheated and very angry.
I'd like to say the following. Konami doesn't hate Android and Android is not a phone.
The problem is that eFootball is a shrunken down version of the console/PC game.
It is huge. About 3.3GB.
As a result, it needs a lot of power to be able to process it.
And the part of your phone that processes data is the SoC. The system on a chip.
The system on a chip is what we call the processor. The proper name is actually a smartphone SoC or system on a chip.
The SoC is named that way because it is an entire system. It contains an entire system of CPUs that helps a phone carry out it's tasks
The main parts of an SoC that are strongly related to gaming are the main CPU cores and the GPU.
The CPU installs, loads and processes the apps and games. The GPU is what displays the graphics on the screen.
If the CPUs are weak, they will be unable to run the game correctly. In fact in many cases, they will be unable to install the game.
We've seen this practically with PES.
This is not just about PES but also other games like PUBG mobile for example or call of duty or Fortnite.
Even Apex legends sef won't work if the CPUs or GPUs are not up to the task.
Even if the CPUs were able to handle the task and could install the game, if the GPUs are not powerful enough to render graphics, there'll be problems as well.
I'll never forget that app called GFX tool.
That app helped me downgrade PUBG Graphics to the level that my PowerVR GE8100 on the Tecno Pouvoir 2 could play.
So like I said SoC is the main computing hub on a smartphone that processes data especially for games.
The main parts are the CPUs and the GPU.
CPU strength is easy to understand.
Very easy.
Starting from the weakest, we have
A7, A9
A53, A55
A72, A73, A75, A76, A77, A78, X1
A510, A710, X2
Anything below A53 will struggle to play PES.
Why?
Because these CPUs are old and weak. They are not equipped to handle the load that the eFootball brings.
Some of you may be getting lost at this point and start thinking "I don't understand this thing oh".
So this is the main reason why many phones are unable to run PES or eFootball. This is because they use ARM Cortex A53 CPUs that are weak.
Now there are some exceptions to this rule.
Any ARM Cortex A53 CPUs that are clocked over 2.0GHz will run the game but only for now.
Phones like the Redmi 9C with Helio G35 will run the game because they are overclocked for gaming purposes. The A53 CPUs on the G35 run at a whopping 2.3GHz.
This is why they're able to run the game.
Phones like Nokia 3.4 with Snapdragon 460 or Infinix Hot 10i are able to run the game due to their superior SoCs.
So if you take a look at the the CPUs in use here, you can see very well that they A73 for the Nokia 3.4 and A75 for the Hot 10i.
So this is where I pack the bus for this evening.
I'll be back to conclude tomorrow.
Leave comments and feedback lemme know where you understood or didn't understand.
true, but anything with only cortex a53 core is shitty and will struggle to run anything.
Moreover you saying android is a mess because they use different part from different manufacturers is nonsense. That's the same with Apple and all computing devices, smartphone, computers.
Apple also use ARM'S architecture, their camera are produced by different company, screen too.
11Anonymous: I'm using a device that supports VoLTE and 5g.
Telling the public that VoLTE can be used on some Infinix phones and not Samsung S21 sounds unbelievable.
so what? They are clearly working on supporting all capable phones, moreover Infinix and tecno are the most used phone in Nigeria so it's understandable. So get of your high horse please. MTN is also the only network that supports ESIM, so chill, I'm sure it coming to Samsung devices too
If truly you are not a biased prick, you would know that early adoption does not imply best in class service.
The apple strategy is not to rush to market with unproven tech but to ensure it fits into the apple ecosystem.
If the feature would not add any conceivable benefit to the whole ecosystem, why add it now?
There have been many touch screen laptops from the days of Mungo Park yet Apple has not adopted it. Does that mean they dont have the technology to manufacture touch screen laptops?
If truly you use apple devices and actually know more than sending WhatsApp messages to your serekodes, you would never rubbish the apple ecosystem.
ok, tell us what apple does more than Samsung or Google?
truthCoder: Thats how android fanboys would be saying they have face unlock.
Face unlock on android is different from face unlock on Iphone. And no, its not the same technology.
Iphone has always on display on the Apple watch starting from series 5.
This uses an LTPO technology that drops the refresh rate to 1hz from 120hz.
This not just about putting a clock on your screensaver. This is not about AMOLED. It’s about refresh rate.
Ceteris paribus, if your phone screensaver is on at 120hz or 60hz and the iphone screensaver is on at 1hz, it means a drop in idle power consumption by a factor of 120 or 60.
This is an interesting addition to iphone 14 and saves the battery further.
you're obviously talking gibberish, what has that got to do with always on?
Saucy22: Seriously, itel is a bad phone I prefer iPhone to itel or yeye tecno ,am using techno pouvior 2 pro I can say it is better than all the itel phones in the market Itel user are unserious and should sell their phone and buy indoime and egg or play 2 odd Techno sef na stupid phone I no like am but na manage I dey manage E still pass itel and vivo,injoo ,lenovo Sell ur itel today
no one is claiming itel is better than iPhone.
There is a phone for every budget, only a fool will compare itel with iPhone.
In business you should always have a target audience, that way you can really be successful. Techno, Itel, Infinix does this very well, that's why they sell a lot in Africa.
Even Samsung do this too not every one can buy there flagship, midrange phones.
Itel produce entry level phones, which is meant for people who has not use android before or people who can't afford a more costly phone.
So if you want performance go and buy the iPhone you want or even techno they also have beastly phones.
Don't come here and be making stupid complains, Itel is not forcing you to buy their phones
Sapa fit make person talk say palm oil rice sweet pass jollof rice..
No worry you go get money buy better phone then you go know say you no fit compare am with Tecno
why you no wan get sense like this?
The guy they enjoy the spark 7, he no compare am with any phone, na wetin dem dey call Peace of mind be that, na you no wetin you dey find up and down wey you dey compare your phone.
