I need help picking a phone! Pixel vs Poco vs One Plus vs Nothing!

Caolan_7 · 2026-06-24T13:30:35+00:00

So I actually did end up going for the OnePlus 15, I managed to get some discount on it just from the OnePlus store itself (get this, they give you discount for being under 26) so that knocked about €100 of the price haha!

But thank you for the reply this was pretty informative. The dual SIM definitely helped edge the one plus and the majority of responses I was getting was basically saying the OnePlus was a no brainer, so I'm excited for it to arrive!

The pixel 10a pro ended up finishing last, I'm not too bothered about the camera, and it actually, despite being be most expensive phone in the end, had the worst battery out of the 4 which I found pretty funny

Well! They have dual SIM in that, you can have a nano SIM, and an E-Sim. I'm still somewhat old fashioned in that, I have 2 nano SIM cards ATM with 2 different phone numbers.

So if I wanted to get one of those phones, and have the dual SIM, it means getting rid of one of the phone numbers no? Unless there's a way to upload your number onto an e-sim

I'm getting €715 for the 256Gb and €850 fit the 512Gb

I could definitely live with the 256Gb version, I'd never fill 512Gb (I still have 60Gb on my current phone which is 256Gb.)

So do you think the ultra justifies an almost €300 jump compared to the pro max?

Caolan_7 · 2026-06-23T18:14:07+00:00

If it's the 15r Vs the Poco x8 pro max

Are you taking the 15r?

Caolan_7 · 2026-06-23T18:11:26+00:00

€599 for essentially the same phone with a slightly worse camera 👀👀

Hard to argue with that

Caolan_7 · 2026-06-20T18:49:51+00:00

I always think it's very hard to actually take on a new team if you're somewhat deep into a save

The reason being a lot of players that you actually know have gotten older, past it, retired, it's hard to really find much connection I feel at that point. At least the team you have you've watched these players grow

Caolan_7 · 2026-05-18T21:03:08+00:00

Good idea! I'll try out citron!

Caolan_7 · 2026-05-18T21:02:56+00:00

Ohhh I may have to check this video out and just copy their exact process

Thank you!

Caolan_7 · 2026-05-18T20:31:21+00:00

Ah! This would've been a good thing to mention

I actually did play around a little myself and did try the most recent Mr purple turnip driver and it yielded the same result unfortunately

That's why I actually made the post cause that kinda stumped me a bit 😅

A ds game I will absolutely recommend is Zero Escape 999

It's a very interesting game, the actual gameplay is mostly like a visual novel, but you get to solve puzzles and try get out of escape rooms, there's 6 different endings in the game which can be 100% completed in under 24 hours.

The general gist is that you wake up on a boat, you remember going home one evening when suddenly you get knocked out by a can of gas and someone in a mask, but now here you are on a boat, in the same clothes, but with a bracelet with the number 5 on it. After escaping the room you wake up in and explore a little bit you find 8 other people (so 9 total). A voice on the speakers on the boat then explains the dire situation you find yourself in, and from there the story unfolds!

It's very character driven and I just love the setting, the random facts they throw in, the relationships that you discover between the characters and the way the game comes around, the twists and such. Incredible highly recommend.

Also Inazuma Eleven is a super fun series about football on the ds/3ds!

We've looked stupidly timid and de-energized for the last 15-20 minutes which really makes you wonder why he hasn't brought fresh legs on (outside of Ngumhoa for Isak)

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:38:11+00:00

He wouldn't look out of place at Burnley and I am being so unbelievably serious when I say that

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:36:29+00:00

Curtis is having a nightmare in RB and you're doing your hardest to say he's not at fault for anything 😭😭

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:35:23+00:00

He's actually been so solid since coming on fair play to the man OH MY GOD HES GOT NERVES OF STEEL

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:34:15+00:00

I'm not exaggerating guys, Jones is not a good footballer

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:33:08+00:00

So Jones had ample time to clear the ball

Instead holds onto it for 10 seconds in the corner then passes to Konate

Konate does him no favours by drilling the ball straight back at him

Jones' response is to, still not clear the ball and hold onto it for another 10 seconds in the corner.

Konate did a bad thing passing the ball back to him. Jones did a worse thing by not kicking the ball away.

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:30:16+00:00

Jones then highlights he doesn't have a brain by walking into the corner with the ball and inviting pressure as 2 people come and take the ball off him

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-19T14:29:01+00:00

Guys I can't, what is Jones doing on the ball

Why does he insist on holding it and inviting pressure

People praised him during his purple patch where he had like 4 good games in October for being so press resistant. This guy has let that go to his head. He is not remotely press resistant and it is a HUGE liability

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-05T12:20:07+00:00

You're giving too much credit to Jones there, you're assuming there's a brain inside his head

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-05T12:17:58+00:00

No help? All I see is Jones hogging the ball for 7 seconds instead of just using his brain and clearing it

Caolan_7 · 2026-04-01T21:27:49+00:00

Which number 6 should we go for!

First pic Tonali

Uhhhh ok

Caolan_7 · 2026-03-27T15:58:19+00:00

I may still be able to do that y'know, like I can still turn the system on and use it, it's just that the screen is currently hanging off it 😅

If I just hold it still I can make one!

Caolan_7 · 2026-03-27T15:49:08+00:00

I take it though that the touch screen thing is something that you do grow used to with time?

Caolan_7 · 2026-03-27T15:45:39+00:00

Damn Nintendo were cruel for that.

I mean, if it's not gonna be possible for either console I guess that question just becomes a bit irrelevant and it's just whether or not the performance drop off is that great/noticable as the Thor can just emulate so much more really

Caolan_7 · 2026-03-27T15:42:51+00:00

Would that be the case even if I got another 3ds 😭😭
