Do y'all know if its possible for me to find the charging box for this apple earpod in the market?

Get ready for some premium dragging

bbyrona:
I'm always so quick to break or crack my screen and how it happens is always beyond me. This worry has been a thing of the past due to the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. I can use and even drop my phone without a worry. Great assurance at the best price.

What is this, 2013? Did you wake up from a long coma?

whitestar01:
pixel 3a XL released 2019 already had eSim feature.

Let's not be too quick to start this whole "who did it first" battle. 2018 iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max also had eSim feature. That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm saying that Samsung might ditch physical SIM altogether, just like Apple did, in their S23 lineup.

blogfullminded:



thank you for the information. But what amount of space does a Sim card slot consume in a device? the change would mean very little in terms of hardware updates.
and for the second point. What happens if you run out of power on your device? unlike the removable sim cards which you can pop out and place in a spare phone, this is stagnant and that spells doom for anybody.
but thank you for the information. am sure there would be better updates on the esim in the future but for now, I think it's best not to go full on it.

Enough space to take some hardware features. Think about the new gyroscope sensor that helps detect auto crash. This is just one of the few things that could replace the space taken by the SIM port.

Also, not having a SIM card port will help increase how resistant a phone is to water and dust. It may seem too much for the world to accept right now, but it's not a wrong thing to do.

Remember when SIM cards and memory cards came from the regular size down to the nano? Everyone ranted about the the decrease in size, but it helped make phones slimmer.

Incredible128:
I see this as unnecessary inconvenience and just an apple hype that went wrong

Might come as a shocker for you when Samsung follows suit next year in their S23 lineup

13 Pro Max is better:

Better battery life
Better screen with 120hz
Better camera quality (12 pro max doesn't have a macro lens; it doesn't have cinematic mode too)
Better speaker

blogfullminded:
that means we would spend a lot more money. And not everybody can dispense that much every 18 months for a mobile device.

This isn't informed bro. eSim may look to many like it will make life complicated, but it's the other way round

Setting up an eSim on your phone takes only about 15 minutes. Here are its benefits:

1. It IMPROVES security. No one can just steal your phone and pop out your SIM card when the SIM is programmed on the phone. With this, you have network during the most crucial timeframe after you can't find your phone (God forbid).

2. You can have multiple SIM cards on your phone, and you can easily switch to them without having to pop out your SIM.

3. There will be more room in devices, which will encourage more hardware upgrades.

The only disadvantages of eSims are when you're running out of battery and you have a spare phone that isn't eSim compatible, you may not have the best experience.

Also, if your phone suddenly stopped working, there might be an issue getting your contacts. But this can be corrected through eSim software upgrades (Google already and Apple back contacts up)

What exactly do you mean by iPhones do not need DXO mark ratings?
Do you even know what DXO mark ratings are,before you come up with that one?
So how did you come up with the claim that iPhones have the best cameras?

I know what the DXO ratings are and trust me, a phone can not have this ratings and still have an impressive camera

Kindly read my previous comment and tell me where I mentioned that iPhones have the best cameras. I'll wait.

starboycol:


What are you saying for camera iPhone nol join go check DXO mark before you talk, screen quality iPhone lose too even the battery over time iPhone battery da die faster the only thing iPhone get na optimization because it as it own ecosystem

iPhones do not need DXO mark ratings, just like they've chosen to use their ceramic glass over the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Not getting the "quality" components from known companies does not necessarily mean that they're doing worse.

Also, battery on iPhones age the same way (at times better, since iPhones barely generate heat) other phones do. Many people would have ran for the hills, if Google had included a way to check battery health in the Android software.

Other things you said are bollocks. Leave sentiments and try a recent iPhone.

Auskyd:


You don’t get it, but it’s alright. You’ll see what I’m trying to point out the next time you try to sell something here.

Lol.. He sure doesn't get a thing you're saying. Nairaland never forgets a thing. He'll soon realize that

atheistandproud:


Boss, VoLTE and 5G are different things.

5G is a network generation
VoLTE is voice over LTE

Lol. My bad, bro. I didn't read much before commenting. I just saw 5G and I rushed to comment

atheistandproud:


Trust me boss, I have tried. There's no way to do so. I am not interested in rooting my device now at all.

It's like people dey bribe MTN to get VoLTE.

5G works effortlessly on my babe's Xiaomi Poco F3

DONFRANSKID:

if i force it to 5G only i wouldn't have network
Anyway thanks

If MTN 5G is available where you are, you'll have network.

DONFRANSKID:

Thanks brother
If mtn transmit their 5G via band 78 that's means my phone support it.
It's mtn's fault

You can actually force it. I once forced it on my Samsung S21 FE.

dial *#2263#, click on LTE band preference and unmark everything, except band 78. Click on "Go main". Click on "Apply band configuration" and click on "Apply".

NB: I'm not responsible for whatever damage you cause your phone.

DONFRANSKID:

Thanks man i really appreciate
I'm suspecting my pjone doesn't support MTN 5G bandwidth

MTN has several 4G bands (7,20, and 42). Several Samsung phones only support first 2 bands.

MTN 5G is NSA, and it seems to have been tied to their band 42. You won't get 5G until it's extended to MTN's other bands that your phone supports.

Most Xiaomi uses currently enjoy the 5G because their phones support all MTN 4G bands.

maik99:
Abeg does that have handled the iPhone 11, how much of a deal breaker is that 720p LCD screen? Cos that's d only reason I'm skeptical about buying the ordinary 11 and looking at a pixel 4xl instead

You probably won't even notice you're carrying a LCD screen, unless you hold it side-by-side with a phone using OLED or AMOLED, that's where you'll notice a slight deference.

iPhone 11 is an overall nice device, but if you'd used an iPhone X, 11 pro or higher, you'll notice that the iPhone bezel is thicker. Use it for a week and you won't notice that anymore.

Good luck bro

Updatex:
Baba sell your thing, long as chip works
Leave dis brokanese

Lol. Be like say you no know the condition of the phone. You can only use wi-fi with that phone, and the battery health come low again.

Ingrid4:

I sold it lol
But I just bought a UK used Sony xz3 with a little notch at bottom left side
It has Qualcomm Snapdragon sd845 processor
4gb ram 64gb ROM
It's even better than the s8 plus.
I will sell if u are interested
I'm at obalende

I got a different one

Tunex252:
I can use IR blaster as remote on my phone to control my DStv and and TV which helps in the stress of looking for remotes.

Iphone and there latest phone can never do this.

I can hide anything on my phone and even use second space. Them no born iPhone papa well make e do ham

So Iphone to me is an overrated trash

Show me a search bar on your Twitter space. It should be simple for your not-overated trash to do.

CaneMint:
Hey guys! Could you please tell me how to capture a screenshot on this phone? Thanks in advance!

Press the power and volume-down button at the same time

horlahwaley:
it is that file sharing for me.
Connecting xender from your android with pc doesnt work 50 percent of the time, if iphone can do this flawlessly, i will switch.

It feels natural and very convenient connecting your andoid phone with pc quickly via usb especially when you activated usb debugging mode and sharing the files ASAP. This is the only reason i am stuck with my samsung

I understand you though. But at the end of the day, we all agree that it boils down to individual user preferences.

iPhones don't need debugging because you don't need to flash a custom recovery, root it or do ADB stuff. The only times you need your lightening cord is when you want to jailbreak, or when you mess up your jailbreak, OR when you're a windows user with an iPhone.

Network locked, blacklisted and with 84% battery health and you set this price? Is this playing?

Last last, iPhone isn't for everybody. Stick with your Android if:

1. You want to transfer stuff with USB cable when you could use Xender and a plethora of new generation, file sharing app alternatives.

2. You want to use launchers or set ringtones

3. You think the default music player app you find on Android gives you better flexibility and you can't download third-party music players that offer the same thing on iPhone

4. You just hate the iPhone flagships because you can't afford one.

5. You believe the ramblings of an iPhone hater, who is comparing new Android devices with iPhone 8 and below.

Tobedated:
Poco f3 check the specs out yourself its around 200k and better than all other phones in its price range.

You can't go wrong by choosing this

tunnex190:


Thanks. It's double ** before 21*…? Just trying to clarify that.

And please what if I want to cancel the call forwarding after sometimes

Yes, double **. To cancel it, just dial ##21# on the SIM and you're good

You can forward all calls to a new number.

Put the SIM card in a phone and dial **21*NUMBER#

Ingrid4:

Hello sir
Sir I have Samsung Galaxy S8 plus for sale
I'm in Lagos island

Drop the picture

dyfaze:
Let’s just pray to be rich. I remembered I used to say I can’t buy phone of 100k but I later realized that I was talking base on that present condition (I am still on God though). A time will come when 500k will be like 1k to you though fingers are not equal but once you can afford quality phones with nice specification, forget it, you will surely buy it.

I love this you've just said bro. It's nothing but the truth

sunshineV:
lol ur diick eating game is awazing. I'll giv u dat

Who doesn't know you, the dick-starved Banshee? I don't have to conform to your idea of what the best phone is, so gediffok.

Lol. Samsung fans making it look like foldable phones are that new. Dudes, foldables have been around since the Eriksson era.

How strong are the foldable phones Samsung and others keep releasing? Might surprise you that Apple has been working on one, but won't release it until it looks good enough to them.

Apple isn't one to add an "old" feature without ensuring that they beat the competition by enhancing that feature. Think about the face ID on Android vs the one on iPhones.

SergeantTitus:

Mr man stop arguing with me. I have the SOS feature on my a13 and I don't need cellular network. There's an option for satellite there. Iphone copies everything from android.

I can't help you at this point.
