    Am I living in a parallel universe?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 01:14 AM PDT

    SO thats a question im asking myself the last few days while reading about the new IPhone SE everywhere.

    All reviews im reading or watching ( LTT , Dave Lee , etc.) are talking about the great value of this new device. But i can not wrap my head around it.

    Im one a Samsung Galaxy A51 and fail to see how this new IPhone is even close to being a "value for your money" phone. BUT before everyone is going ahead writing how this phone has the best mobile processor on the market - hear me out first ..

    All im doing is writing Whatsapp Messages ( yea im in Europe, Germany - there is absolutely no point in iMessage over here ), browsing reddit, watching Youtube Videos ( which is amazing on such a nice big AMOLED Screen ) and taking photos ( which is super nice with the variety of cameras on the back and totally enough for my personal use - i dont need super professional photos for pesonal use on my phone and its got 128 GB of storage for everything ) While all these tasks can be done for a very long time due to 4.000 mAh battery

    Now the big thing is that all these things run smoothly - absolutely no problems whatsoever. Do most people really do more with their phones? Im talking about more demanding tasks.

    From my point of view everybody fails to talk about real Budget phones ( Do they even exist in their world ) Its always about "Big new flagship here - big new flagship there - flagship killer over there - OH THERE IS AN IPHONE FOR 479€ THATS HUGE BANG FOR BUCK ) ... while im on my device thats 289€ of the shelf and looking better for everything i do.

    Where am i going wrong? Do i fail to see why the processor is such a big deal on a phone thats doing nothing for professional use? Do Tech reviewers dont know about things like the Galaxy A-Series? Or any budget Series for that matter ( I dont care at all about brands )

    Im absolutely not bashing on Apple or Android or anything else - i really want to understand what im not seeing. Maybe someone can help me out here.

    Or maybe im not the guy to know about brand-value .. maybe im just living in my own parallel Universe lol

    General lack of long-term software updates

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 12:30 AM PDT

    This is an opinion/rant. I think the lack of software updates on Android phones is the main reason they always be second to iPhones.

    I was updating my phone every 2 years before. Now I doesn't feel tempted. The new phones doesn't offer much new features. Just because it is a little bit faster and it has a better camera and (arguably) better battery life, i won't upgrade. Every phone is almost the same in the last 4-5 years. The second fact is that the phones are getting ridiculously expensive.

    So, I just want to buy the best phone and keep it for 4-5 years. That is my point, i can't do that on android. I need at least security updates, cause I also use banking apps, an payment apps. Even Google doesn't offer updates over 3 years.

    One solution is to buy midrange phones, for around half of the price of flagships, and keep upgrading every 2-3 years. I don't want to do that. I like tech, I use my phone a lot. If I can't afford the latest and gratest model, I just simply wait another year, not just to get more budget, but also to justify the purchase.

    So, in my case, I doesn't really have an option to keep buying Android phones. I got the Oneplus 7T Pro last year. Oneplus has/had a good reputation with updates. My plan was to use it until it gets at least security updates. Right after I got it Oneplus decided to update only every 2 months.

    I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge before. I loved it, but after it wasn't updated anymore (that frequently) I always thought it to be risky to use it. It also was full with bloatware, but after I rooted it and installed a light custom rom it ran like a charm. Yet, the phone wasn't that secure anymore after that (Knox is gone, rooted).

    My wife uses an iPhone 7. That phone is from the same generation as my S7 edge was. That iPhone still runs perfectly. She will have to replace the battery soon, but the phone is fast, she has the latest OS, she doesn't even think about upgrading. iPhones are expensive, but you can securely use them for 4-5 years.

    I love Android, i need the customisation it offers, but if I won't be able to use my current phone for 3-4 years I won't buy and Android phone again.

    So, I think, that is why an Android will never be "Premium". Samsung makes some really nice looking phones with serious tech in them. I mean they have some exclusive features I would love to use. But they should offer 4-5 years of software updates, at least for they flagships. Otherwise they can't compete with Apple.

    What Android phone are you using?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:00 PM PDT

    Thought I'd ask this question to spark a discussion. What phone are you using right now, and why? Is there a particular feature you like? Are there any complaints you have about that phone?

    I'm using the LG G8. I like it for a few reasons. First is I bought it for a good price (as all LG phones are after a few months, haha). The build quality is amazing and feels great in the hand. Other features I enjoy are the wide-angle camera, quad DAC, sharp display, and also I love LG's skin on Android, which has many useful features I use all the time. Some things I don't like however are the mediocre battery (5-6 hours SOT) and also occasional choppiness when performing certain animations.

    I would love to hear everyone else's responses!
