And as for the 8k video recording? Let me ask this simple question: “how many people you know wey dey use phones that record at 4k/30FPS”?

my goodness! Stop saying this, A phone is a nice balance of a cell phone, a camera and a multimedia device.
You can't compare any phone camera to a DSLR
You can't compare any phone to a ps4
You can't compare any phone to a tv
you can't compare any phone to a laptop

Why will i want to pay an extra for a redmi 12 instead of a tecno spark when i know they both sucks at high end gaming

wahalaO:

Like fr tho, ancient PS1 game (Final Fantasy Tactics) claps most of the latest RPG turn based games

True, i played contra (hard cops) on my almost dead sega console, gameplay was miles ahead of anything on the Playstore/Appstore. I still play resident evil 4 on my Playstation 2, no android/apple game even come close to the level of story telling, game play and cenematic.

wahalaO:


The one that if you want reverse charging, go for the latest Doogee phones with over 10k mAh battery and rugged build? It's a fact, now? Abi, you wan use 5k mAh Poco f5 charge your 5k mAh Spark 10 Pro?

all these are features and specs that plays a deciding factor on the price of a phone so don't substitute any because you phone don't have it

omasanbobo:

Na the new trend be that, any phone/laptop below 300k is almost unusable. Forget all the value for money terms companies/tech reviewers use to deceive us, na wash.

Sigh. Old phones just come look better than new phones. Imagine Nokia 9 Pureview being sold for over $1000 on eBay, phone wey no longer dey relevant in 2023 (Andriod 10).

I don't quite get this reply of yours. If reverse charging is a feature one cannot substitute, why is only 10% of the phones in the market using it?
USB 4.0 that is not to be substituted, why is it only 5% of the mobile market utilising it?
Even IP certificates, no be every phone get am, but e no mean say person no go substitute for feature wey dey more useful too am.
Cutting corners is very common now, and you should be aware of that in 2023. A phone can't have everything, so we're forced to substitute things we need for things we don't.
It's simple.

Exactly! So that's where the case of preference comes down to. I have a PS4 doesn't mean I can't have a good phone, even if they can't compare in gaming. Just because my S23 Ultra cannot run Farcry, I'll sell it to buy Nokia 1.

It's quite painful sha, imagine surfing playstore, only to be flooded with numerous generic 3D pay-to-play games with bad graphics and storytelling. Sigh.

After I updated my 10C to android 13, BlackPlayer Ex started misbehaving.

So Xiaomi 13 Ultra's lack of a 4k/30 FPS selfie video recording is what? It's 4k/24FPS (back camera) video recording versus S23 Ultra's 4k/30FPS video recording incor?

dvkot:

Abeg e 😒.

Even if, they should at least look into creating more graphically intensive video games with an actually creative gameplay.

a Samsung phone trumps any xiaomi phone in terms of camera and again camera is not what im talking about when i said that.

they can't because of people that are buying midrange that's why apple has a better gameplay than android. If all android use sd chipset then developer could make games that will fully utilize the function of a particular chipset

wahalaO:

Abeg e 😒.

lol
Leave midrange abeg and move to flagship you won't regrets it

look I'm not making an argument against any flagship, what im saying is the mediocrisy of marketing any midrange as a flagship killer is what I'm always against

True sha. But tehy we no hear. Small thin, Unisoc or Kirin — Helio or Exynos 😒

Mention one solid game on the Appstore that can use the full power of the a16 bionic? This argument is dead, mrwhosetheboss made a video on this matter.

omasanbobo:

No oh, Poco F5 is 300k. F5 Pro is 410k. X5 is around 250k for the 8/256 version.

Midrange nowadays is between 200 — 450k. Anything more is overpriced or flagship.
