so yeah… idk why most people buy flagships phones only to open tiktok, facebook, etc.

I mean does anyone actually game on their phone regularly? Like an entire pubg mobile gaming session on it?

Or is it primarily a camera thing.

    I bought the nubia z60 ultra back when it first came out. Flagship specs for half the price. It’s a great phone, but doesn’t have all the US bands so it’s cell connection is ~80% of my wife’s phone. Still plenty solid.

    No I don’t use a fraction of what it’s capable of. I bought it for the screen. 90% of my time on my phone is reading ebooks. I wanted a big screen and above all no cutout/notch, no rounded corners, small bezel as possible. I enjoy the words on my screen going from the very top of the screen to the edges and bottom. 0 margins, all text.

    The fast processor is nice so things still feel snappy even years later. My battery still lasts 2 days. I did recently install DroidDeck and it’s nice how well it works. But I don’t really use it as I don’t have a controller and screen controls kinda suck. I prefer to just whip out my steam deck.

    I do buy my kids the budget/free phones, and it’s quite obvious how slow they are compared to my phone.

      I got a redmagic pro for the processing power hoping it would make the phone last 8 years like my last one did, it’s quick but that thing about cell bands would explain why my wife can get stronger signals than me pretty much everywhere we go. Annoyingly the bluetooth chip failed after less than a year so I can’t use android auto or anything anymore.

        Ooof that sucks. Yea that redmagic phone and mine are pretty much the same phone. Luckily I work from home, so most of the time I’m on my wifi. When I first got the phone I was bugging both tmobile and the manufacturer to fix vowifi. Otherwise I really couldn’t send/receive calls at home because of the terrible reception/bands issue. Neither claimed to be at fault and blamed the other, but magically after yet more back and forth a phone update popped up from the manufacturer and it’s been working great since.
