Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[Dr. Strange]

Yeah I'm happy to be a normie.

Pinagdaanan ko rin yang stage where you're in right now where you compare specs etc etc. I'm a very detail oriented person and I applied that principle not just with phones, but also with computers, cars, and anything that has specs.

I went through all sorts of phones before - from Nokia's glory days to Blackberry and eventually to Androids and iPhones. Nowadays I just buy last year's Samsung/Apple flagship because they're cheap and still better than most of the competition.

Yes some phone might have a better camera, or more RAM, or whatever superior spec. But at the end of the day the S and Note line of Samsung offers a great overall experience and none of the other flagships have enough differentiation.

In other words, unless another flagship is head and shoulders above Samsung's flagship, it's not enough reason to switch.

Amazing reviews kasi! That price is the real flagship killer

Resellers are going to make a killing. Baka aabot pa yan sa price ng flagship on the gray market.

The 128GB version worth 19T+ is still available.

Potential buyers of the Pocophone F1 should also be aware that it doesn’t currently support Widevine.

So that means it can’t stream Netflix and Amazon Prime in HD.

Not sure if you download the film in Netflix though.

This is something that I no longer pay attention to. Parang feeling ko habang tumatanda ako mas mahalaga na sa akin yung feeling kapag hawak ko yung phone rather than the specs. Kasi honestly wala naman na pinagkaiba mga specs nila e.

Ayun lang sir mas mahal yung Xiaomi Black Shark, 36K bili ng officemate ko, konti na lang diff sa XZ2 ko, kung pang gaming lang din, Xperias have built-in Dual Shock 4 connectivity plus PS4 Remote Play pa. [emoji28]

How much kaya XZ3 dito? OLED na rin kasi ang screen pero based on the estimates sa GSMArena it will be priced at around 800 Euro

True. Late ko na nalaman na di rin supported ng OnePlus 5T yung Widevine Level 1. It has to be shipped back to factory for OnePlus to do software update na sila lang authorized (for OnePlus devices) to do using their authenticated PC. Hassle so hinayaan ko nalang. Ewan ko ba sa mga Chinese phones. Libre naman yung Widevine certification di pa ginawa.

I think 900 USD siya with free Xperia Ear Duo sa US, ang korny nga dito di man lang PS4 yung libre sa XZ2 di tulad sa Thailand.

Mabilis naman bumaba value ng Xperia, abang na lang sa grey market. [emoji23]

Haha! Nakuha namin free PS3 nung bumili dad ko ng 55" TV pero palabas na rin PS4 non so pinapamigay na lang nila ang units.

I'm still eyeing the Oneplus 6. AMOLED and 845 kasi minimum specs ko and I like how the company promised to keep the FW and security updated for 2 and 3 years respectively.

Wait for the 6T to come out (soon) and decide.

If you still prefer the 6, it will be much cheaper then.

Wala rin ata sya nung latest LTE band na gamit ng Globe, band 28.

So far itong dalawang shortcomings na ito ay hindi deal breakers para sa use case ko kaya kumuha pa rin ako, kakacurious kasi eh.

Yes. Sinesearch ko lang "LTE bands ph.." tas cross check sa fone specs galing sa sites tulad ng gsmarena.
