Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[ninjababez]

Flip phones are usually prepaid phones and they are very cheap ... So it's easier to change phones ... What is interesting in TV shows is that they break the phones in half, as if that will render it untraceable ... Also, why not just replace the SIM card instead? ...

hmm wala nga naman itong MAC address no? ano pa ba unique sa burner phones? maybe the IMEI, traceable ba ito?

by virtue of their intended outcome, burner phones are... cheap. hindi masyadong masakit sa bulsa, kapag sinunog. although, in some movies, the phone that got burned was a rather high end model.
yes. that's what i meant in my previous post. imei. but i'm just a user, not an engineer.

IMEIs are the mobile phones' equivalent of the MAC address for Ethernet and Bluetooth connections. Though, phones will also have separate MAC addresses for WiFi, Bluetooth, and wired LAN dongles in addition to an IMEI. Dual-SIM phones would have two IMEIs as well. IMEIs are unique and no two mobile phones in the world should have the same IMEI.

So in the movies, they break the phone in half probably just for the theatrics. But if the upper half only contains the LCD display and it circuitry, there's still a chance that the lower part of the phone is still working. Anyway, in the real world, it would be better to just drop the phone somewhere, still intact and powered up, in a manner that would leave a false trail (ie. leave it in a train, bus or drop it off in somebody's backpack pocket, etc.) Otherwise, removing the battery would render it just as useless.

Just like when they shoot the monitor of a computer to destroy the evidence. [emoji16]

May mga apps na gumagamit ng card. Like spotify or Netflix. Pero kung hindi naman wala naman effect.

i usually download playlists from Spotify so i can still listen offline. i saved them in the SD card in my old phone because i have limited storage. but now with the bigger memory of my new phone, i saved it direct sa internal memory, kasya na mga files ko. bigger internal storage is a must if you want to use dual sim, else you need to do tanggal kabit ng sd card at sim kung bitin ka na sa space. use of dual is ideal sim for ofw like me. yung isa pang local number, yung isa pang roaming. no need ng 2 phones, hassle magdala ng 2 phones[emoji16]

What country are you based bro?

I myself want to integrate my 2 phones into 1 but I can't give up my sd card slot as my UK phone only has 64GB of internal storage. And my PH phone has more storage actually with 128GB.

Mukhang cloud storage na lang ang solusyon mo. I myself am not too thrilled with the idea of needing an online connection just to access my files, kaso wala akong choice since my current phone uses a hybrid slot (need to sacrifice one SIM card for the memory card). Hopefully I'll get to upgrade to a triple-slot phone before the year ends.

bandang west africa bro...

ok na din yang 64GB, sakto na rin yan but if you need enough headroom, compromise talaga to use 1 sim and utilize an SD card. 128GB is just right for my needs, in case i need more space, then saka na lang maglipat ng laman sa sd or usb stick. ideal sana sa phone yung mga portable SSD pero mahal pa.

Im assuming you don't need that files very often if you are accessing it via cloud? Have you considered an OTG + card reader + SD card.

OTG


Card reader

I haven't uploaded any of my often-accessed files to the cloud (my current microSD card is at 64GB), although I find it a hassle whenever I want to switch networks because of poor data signal. I do have an OTG adaptor that I use with my standard USB flash drive, but I prefer something that doesn't involve any plugging in, especially if my phone happens to be charging, and also because I don't want to wear out that port prematurely. My budget allows me a phone with up to 64GB internal memory to complement my existing memory card.

Only if you use Android's Adoptable Storage feature...

But if you know about this feature, you wouldn't post your question...

So the answer is NO

Unfortunately, I do not know the said feature though

pocophone yun nabili ko bro. ambilis sana and sakto sa needs ko. kaso napansin ko lagi ako namamatay sa critical ops LOL
di naman mataas ang game requirements nung critical ops, so OK nako sa mimax 3.
mura ko lang nabenta yung pocophone 14.7k lang kasi mabait naman yun buyer, tsaka mukhang pinagipunan pa talaga nya yun pambili. btw pag masyadong malaki itong mimax3, target ko naman nova 3i kung sakali.

Digital Walker, oneplus 6 pa lang sila since ka lalabas lang ng bagong 6t.

Oneplus 6 was my 1st choice, kaso wala daw stock. Next is Poco wala rin stock, next is mi max 3, wala rin daw. Nauwi ako sa zenfone max pro. After a week ng pagbili ko saka dumating mga stocks ng 3 kong 1st choice. [emoji23]

Although di naman ako nag sisisi, ok naman tong max pro.

i have a 15k budget for a phone, planning to get a Samsung Galaxy A6...change my mind (no China-branded phones though)

[Walter]

Dual SIM phones ... One for SIM card ... The other for SIN card ...
