Tecno Phantom X, A New Record Breaker / Infinix Hot S3 Review: Is This A Deal Breaker? Coming soon to Nigeria / 6 Ways You Are Unintentionally Destroying Your Smartphone (2) (3) (4)
What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by Techm8: 8:36am On Nov 27, 2017 |
What is your smartphone deal breaker? Especially after the releases of the Phantom 8 and infinix zero and the oneplus 5T, iPhones X, google pixel 2 and 2XL and a number of other top end flagships. There are very little one can complain about in today's flagships but there are bound to be a deal breaker or two for some people. My personal deal breaker is a sub par camera. I take a lot of photos and videos for social media and since I don't have $500 for the oneplus 5T or $1000 for the iPhone X, I'll have to go for the phantom 8 being an affordable flagship with a top end camera. But how about you guys. What are your personal deal breakers when it comes to smartphones? 3 Likes |

Display display display. I'm a sucker for a beautiful display. Also build quality. Preferably amoled displays , ability to be able to see what's on ur screen in direct sunlight without even the slightest of problems. I give it to Samsung for that, also iPhones do a good job in direct sunlight. 11 Likes |

Can't use a phone lesser than 6GB RAM anymore. If it's not 6GB RAM and above then it's not for me 4 Likes |

greenhulk:Yea. 1440p resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and bezelless displays are the new trend moving into 2018. 1 Like |

Abdstrakt:But anything above retina level is fine. 1080p displays are still awesome. Once you can't se individual pixels on close inspection the rest is just gimmick and I'm Also big on the camera. I love this interesting story that shows the zoom capability of the Tecno Phantom 8 http://file51e69bbc637f.iamh5.cn/v3/idea/PaPumwRc 4 Likes |

Abdstrakt: 6gb of ram is good, but 4gb is enough with Snapdragon. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Techm8: U are right. I have even switched my s7 edge to 1080p for daily normal usage. I only switch to 1440p when I went to use vr. No real difference between 1080p and 1440p especially with that amoled display. Instead u go just dey run ur battery down running on 1440p without any noticeable difference in what u see. But anything below 1080p is a NO NO for me... I can't stand it. |

A slow phone that freezes in some apps! I hate when this happens. |
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by Norman4real(m): 11:55am On Nov 27, 2017 |
Screen size. Anything below 5.5 inches is a NO. Resolution at least 1080p, 3GB/32GB at the least. Don't care so much about cameras, software updates, waterproofing and all those fancy blah, blah features. 3 Likes |

greenhulk:I'm not really that bothered about who makes the SOC. I've had devices using both SOC and can't really tell the difference in terms of performance tbh |
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by Nobody: 4:33pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Abdstrakt: I've used both and there's a BIG difference especially in response to touch. There's a little bit of delay in touch response on mtk devices (very noticeable if u type very fast). On Snapdragon this delay is non existent. I also noticed that 4g LTE disappears and lot (on infinix hot s, hot 4 pro and Tecno phantom 6) and a lot of times I will have to manually force 4g by putting the phone to 4g only and then returning to auto. But whenever I get a call , after the call the phone gets stuck on H+ and will never return to 4g until I force it again. But on Galaxy S7 edge, it's always on 4g 24/7 even if u receive 100 calls. 7 Likes |

Really....I love to get a Phantom 8 also.. |
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by OVA200(m): 11:49pm On Dec 04, 2017 |
Anything lesser than 5.5" is a NO NO for me and Anything lesser than 4000 mAh on MTK and 3000 mAh on snapdragon is also a NO. Any phone with a beautiful U I is also a NO NO Any camera that can produce the same quality with the on my DP is okay. The rest is cool with me |
Re: What Is Your Smartphone Deal Breaker? by OCTAVO: 12:01am On Dec 05, 2017 |
6gb Ram/ 128gb ROM. Battery - 4000mah minimum. Processor speed 2.3 - 2.5ghz. Must be Snapdragon chipset. Camera 16mp (not really a camera fan). Every other thing is irrelevant. |
