Smartphones

So my kid has been working at some county recycling center on Saturdays, good cash like $250 per like 8 hours worked or some shit. Anyway so he comes home last week with a iphone 11, among other older phones. the 11 has cracked screen but all in all pretty good working order other than the screen cracks its like brand new. So he gives it to me for a promise of a steam game of his choice. I order another screen from amazon for $60, my other kid which is into electronics shit installs it and now I have a brand new looking fully functional iphone 11 256 gig. Saves me tons of cash from getting a new pohone since my samsing s7 has been getting a bit shitty. A couplde of gens old and its iphone, but who gives a fuck? It cost me $60 and a steam game for my kid, lol.

He also scored a working xbox360 with tons of acessories. Bunch of video cards, all older but one of them turned out to be a 1070 still working. He put that shit in his second computer. Fucking place is a gold mine if youre into that sort of shit. I guess this iphone refub is still like $400+

Traded my S10+ for a S22 Ultra, camera is great, so worth it.

They need to make a Z Fold but with iOS since the fold 3 was the most unique phone ive used in years. However leaving iOS just hurts too much to use because android :/

Finally broke my Note8 from early 2018 when I dropped it after having one too many!

Got an S22 Ultra, anything cool that it does that isn't super obvious? Why the fuck are there like 5 lenses on this thing, lol

It actually uses AI with the various cameras to take the best picture possible. The zoom is pretty amazing as well. And the movie quality video.

I have the Samsung budget phone A53 or something like that. It was under $500. It does what a smartphone does.

SO one thing that I like in the iphone that android does not really have, or if it does its way more fucking difficult, is the privacy settings per app. You can basically turn all that tracking shit off because fuck all that shit. I wish android had that shit.

I bought this phone a few days after its release in March. The longer I have it, the more I realize that it just isn't the right phone for me. It lags a lot when you use the camera or video. It takes a lot of time to render the video for you to be able to shoot another video so you are sitting there waiting, while the moment is passing you by. Switching from apps is so laggy and sometimes touches don't register despite the touch sensitivity being way up. I've also noticed that there are connection issues with this phone that I didn't have with my older phone. I'm just not satisfied. I was hoping software updates might fix these problems in the long run, btu I just don't have time to wait for that since I use my phone for work.


Good phone - poor battery life.

I went to the Verizon store to talk with them to make sure I wasn't missing a secret setup feature and they said I had everything set up correctly to not excessively drain the battery. From a 100% charge, the phone reports I have 1.5 days of standby time and after 20 hours of being idle (no phone calls, games, videos, etc.) the phone has < 50% charge remaining. My LGK51 has ~93% in the same period - same conditions. Otherwise, the phone seems to handle my office 'dead zone' where I couldn't handle calls without it cutting out so I get every 5th word. I don't know if this is 5G vs. 4G, but my office is literally just a 1000 or so feet from the Verizon cell tower in the area. If the battery in my phone didn't dump amp-hours doing nothing - near as I can tell - it would be an awesome phone.

Nope. No lag that I notice. And I have never run out of power.
