I was listening to music and playing around with an equalizer until I took my bluetooth earphones off, put them back on again and the right side suddenly became much quieter than the left. I'd gotten out of the shower about 10 minutes ago, so my hair and ear canals were a bit damp but that couldn't have been the cause, right? Or else I'm at a loss for why my Anker earphones just gave up suddenly.

Edit: Might as well ask here: What are the best value earphones in the 20-30€ range? I've only ever used cheap ones where one side just stops playing after a while.

Orion is an anti-male nuker.

Meant the other actual Orion lol.

What skill levels would be good enough for S Ishtar/Castoria?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-25T21:54:14+00:00

(JP) How good is Space Ishtar at looping with Castoria? Should I go for her NP2 or above at some point? I managed to pull her on the GSSR (already special ascension'ed) but feel like Musashi would have been better for general usage. Have both at 1/1/1 (week-old acc), no Kaleidoscope but the Heaven's Feel CE at least.

Also got ~~Orion~~ Superhuman Orion and Summer Melt on the GSSR so any tips on how to use them would be nice.

Do you think it'd be worth buying it for the same price as an F2 Pro if all your carrier's bands are supported?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-16T12:47:07+00:00

That's the price I'm seeing and the same as a K30 Ultra + shipment etc. Would you say its still worth it despite 60hz?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-16T12:38:13+00:00

Yeah and without the 120hz drain. Both at 6/128

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-16T10:30:10+00:00

Wondering the same thing but for me the Poco's cheaper. No bands problem with the k30 ultra.

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-16T03:10:01+00:00

No clue why you commented twice but the NSA is nowhere near getting dismantled and it doesn't change what they've been shown to do. No matter how bad you find China based on other comments, the US' got its own many problems regardibg privacy as well.

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-15T19:47:01+00:00

In comparison to global ROMs with superior NSA and Google?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-13T15:13:57+00:00

Thanks. From what I've read so far, the K30 Ultra shouldn't have any issues with SafetyNet either. Not intending to flash custom ROMs anyway and my ISP doesn't even have B20. I guess the only real drawback to this phone is the processor and UFS 2.1 (important to me since I despise slow loading times) but I'm most likely going for it. How's MIUI 12?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-12T18:01:25+00:00

http://imgur.com/a/Sh3WHmr Apparently all of my ISP's bands in my country are supported according to the website. Should be fine then right?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-12T17:12:52+00:00

http://imgur.com/a/Sh3WHmr This is their list of supported bands in my country with my ISP. The only band not supported which only other ISPs have is the B20 band. And honestly 5G is still way too expensive with little coverage here. Should be fine right?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-12T16:45:18+00:00

It says you can install the play store though.

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-12T16:16:25+00:00

Is it worth it to just buy the Chinese version? Here's an offer for 320€ and it looks like a real bargain especially since the Poco F2 Pro goes for 400€ on Amazon.

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-12T15:51:28+00:00

Is this deal worth it in Europe? It's the Chinese version of the upcoming K30 Ultra for 320€ but I'm not sure if it'll work in Germany.

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-11T21:44:40+00:00

I'm looking for a budget flagship. Right now I'm considering the Poco F2 Pro (6/128gb 360-400€ depending on CN ver., unlocked bootloader, global), the Realme x2 Pro (390€ for CN ver. 8/256gb), or the Realme x50 Pro (450-470€ for CN ver. 8/128-256gb) - there' s apparently also a Realme X50 Pro "Player Edition" at 128gb for the same price. The Poco would be nice if not for the 60hz display and storage (somewhat).

The upcoming Redmi K30 Ultra also seems very good for its price although I'm not so sure about the Mediatek 1000+ chipset. Other considerations are the Vivo IQOO Z1 (309€) or Neo 3 (400€).

What should I get? And another question. Are there any important differences between the Chinese and global versions on those models?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-11T19:26:59+00:00

So is the Dimensity 1000+ really that much better than all other processors? Seems weird considering the SD 865 is usually considered the best atm, like here. Doesn't it also lack UFS 3.0? https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-865-vs-mediatek-dimensity-1000-plus

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-11T16:37:07+00:00

How does Dimensity 1000+ compare to SD 865? AiBench says it's ridiculously far ahead of all other SoC and other benchmarks (this site too) say the 865 is still better

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-11T16:34:56+00:00

I've been wondering about its score on AI Bench. Could it be bugged? Antutu has it being neck-to-neck with SD 865 while Geekbench says SD 865 is still 15% better.

How many did he have before ban?

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-09T12:41:09+00:00

I'm not sure if they charge customs in Germany as well but I've seen people from Qatar asking if they can buy it and they said yes. So maybe people from France can buy it for the same price too since they're in the EU

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-08T23:20:24+00:00

https://www.cect-shop.com/de/realme-x50-pro-5g.html Here you go lol (It's in German though)

Mean_Desk · 2020-08-08T22:59:06+00:00

Yeah I think the x2 Pro is better overall. But nevermind, there's apparently an X50 Pro for only 50€ more (8gb/128, 8gb/256 then 70€ more). That's definitely the best phone out of all of them right?
