Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[chronicle]

the phones weren't crippled when new.
but users' demands simply grew faster than their wallets.
heh heh.

Some apps need constant updates to function properly.
Some wont run at all if not updated.
So no choice for the user.

"it's a manufacturers' conspiracy!"
first, sell what customer is made to believe, to be a totl.
then bring out the apps that will eat up the ram.
then, bring out the "upgraded model".
three sales for the same final result!
genius.

Well. Conspiracy or not.
Those who complain the most are the ones using budget phones. And that market has volume so makes sense to see/hear complaints.

Apple didnt bring out a budget line so you wont hear them complain too much on instability. Althlugh few of my friends complain that they cannot use theirs because it is not supported supported anymore by the ios release.

How about this Oppo Find X? Okay ba?

[Shutterbug]

And I thought the p20 was so good. It can even demand a high price alongside Samsung.

I personally wouldn't buy a Huawei/Oppo etc. Feels cheap for me, kahit yung flagship.

For example, sure the P20 has a nice camera, but UI still feels like a generic Chinese Android phone.

Also, no other brand makes curved edge screens as nicely as Samsung does.

This is something that I don't get. There are people who say that samsung, other android phones din, is slow and unstable, I mean how? I'm a long time samsung/android user and I've never experienced yung pagbagal and unstable yung unit. What are you guys doing to your phones? I know there are differences in loading times depending on the hardware, pero to make the phone crash and restart. Please enlighten me.

You have to use other phones to actually compare.

A lot of factors that’s why for android less bloatware better.

My wife's P9 Plus is still doing great. She used a Note 1 and a Note 3 before this. Battery life and performance are still good. Problem is Smart never updated the FW since she got it so I'll be debranding and unlocking the phone once she replaces it with something else.

He is comparing Samsung experience to Mi A2, AFAIK A2 is Android One phone. No bloatware installed/running on background.

That's why many people wants stock android, given you have same phone with same Snapdragon processors and same ram, magkakatalo yan sa mga software na tumatakbo sa background. Obviously yung mga stock android doesn't have a lot of software on background. That is until you install other softwares.

agree. kahit salpakan yan ng latest chipset, magkakatalo naman sa UI design at implementation ng manufacturer.

Definitely not me. I hate stock Android. I had a Nexus 5 before. Feels cheap.

I prefer the TouchWiz UI and my phone doesn't feel slower just because it has an additional UI. Samsung or any other manufacturer wouldn't launch a flagship phone if it couldn't run their UI smoothly.

google it, po.
it makes for an interesting read.
there was a time, i vaguely touch with my memory, when it was illegal to market some samsung models in some parts of the globe..

exactly. its not simply smacking in the latest chipset and processor then price cheaper to dazzle consumers and called a flagship killer.

As a huawei user. I can agree the cheapness feel.

But if on a pinch, the price to performance value is unmatched. Just be ready to send your data to the chineese servers.

Ito actually ang worry ko, kaya hanggang ngayon sony, samsung and LG lang choices ko. Plus the gps of even the "branded" chinese phones are less to be desired. Kaso sony madalas mediatek lang ang soc [emoji58][emoji58]
Honestly, pwede na sakin yun poco f1; di naman ako maselan. Kaso yun mi8 ng officemate ko, when compared to my c9 pro, less than 15 (or more) ang gps count.

Buti na lang din naka Snapdragon 630 yung midrange ng Sony ngayon, much more powerful than Helio P series, kahit nagmahal ng onti mas sulit naman sa software updates and graphics performance. [emoji28]

Interesting yung mi 8 Explorer Edition, probably the only phone with the fastest and most accurate GPS connection right now.
