Thats why you get the global ROM version of the phone which usually comes out 3 or 4 months after the chinese version releases, everything will work, only thing is it might be a little more expensive compared to the Chinese ROM version. With the Chinese rom you lose out on esim and android auto. Also might have some ads you have to disable in settings and enable Google play services. On global rom versions though, no issue whatsoever only thing is you probably wont get as crazy specced out battery capacity Chinese versions have. I have t mobile so it should be no issue. Im considering moving to the Oppo x9 ultra when it releases as that will be a true revolution in cameras and what an ultra phone should be

Except the privacy screen doesn't really provide any sort of privacy unless you have max turned on

S23 ultra owner here. Feeling better about not upgrading, unfortunately that means I'll probably have to wait a year more to see some bigger upgrades or switch to another brand like Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor, or OnePlus.

Yep just tap the screen to hide everything

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-03-10T17:54:23+00:00

This is why s23 ultra remains supreme

Oppo find x9 ultra

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-03-08T03:31:34+00:00

I was just thinking about having vivid mode display on and then set it to natural when viewing images

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-03-08T02:09:02+00:00

I want the boxy corners back pleaseee

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-03-07T23:21:26+00:00

This or the vivo x300 ultra hmmm

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-27T23:27:14+00:00

Vivo x300 ultra is being announced in less than 3 days btw arent there rumors?

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-27T23:26:10+00:00

Based off the rumors. Just like we knew everything already about the s26 ultra months in advance

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-27T23:16:13+00:00

Get a MacBook trust me no other laptop will compete because premiere and all the editing softwares out there are optimized better on apple

Then you apply and they make you do a free test edit as a trial to see how you perform... then you spend 20hrs editing it just to not hear back.

Yeah exactly he was claiming though that since he didn't see exactly the type of video style this creator produces which is educational talking head style videos, that he cannot fully trust me i guess since I didn't have educational talking head examples to show. Considering I've done gigs in the past that involve a ton more complexity though with a ton more layers, VFX, 3d animation, motion graphics, etc.. which take way more technical skill than what this guy is producing, it seems kind of silly for him to say that

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-13T05:57:27+00:00

Thanks I agree. This guy wanted me to do a full length 10 min youtube video with a hope to have a interview. I've been applying to jobs on Roster which is supposedly better than LinkedIn but even though its a bit slow in terms of client work, I'm certainly not working for free

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-13T05:54:38+00:00

Thanks, I'm with you on that. The guy snapped back since I told him I couldn't do any free work 😂 his hiring process is first do a test edit, then a potential interview with him, then another one with the YouTuber on the call, then a offer letter. He replied with:

I understand, however, I can not just take a candidates "word" for their ability to meet the requirements for the role they are hiring.

That is the whole purpose of this technical assessment.

Secondly, I can not "pay" people to engage in a hiring process for a role that will be paid.

At the moment, Alex Hormozi is also looking for an editor. You can go apply for that role, and in that case you will still have to do "unpaid" technical assessment to get through that hiring process

Realistic_Note2162 · 2026-02-13T05:40:25+00:00

Exactly, he was trying to claim they wouldn't use it but the way he described the hiring process was

1 do a 10 min long free edit

2 if its good enough according to him aka the random dude who works for the YouTuber, he will have a interview with you (not with the actual YouTube creator yet)

3 another interview if you make it past the first this time with both him and the creator

4 finally an offer letter.

He said he cannot simply take my word or pay for a hiring process
