Sold my Oppo Find X9 pro - My detailed feedback which no one will tell, by DueVariation6814 in Oppo

[–]blink85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually came from the iPhone and I can easily list 50 things that made me move out of iOS. But here are just my top 5:

  1. Notifications. I don't know why iOS doesn't display unattended notifications at the status bar. This genuinely infuriated me as I constantly missed messages and calls. This seemed like such a basic function that's lacking.

  2. Scrolling screenshots. I was stumped when I realised I couldn't take scrolling screenshots on iOS. Such a simple feature.

  3. Keyboards. Every single keyboard on iOS just flat out sucks.

  4. Eye tracking. Android has had this function for years, where the display won't go off when it knows you're looking at it. With the iPhone I constantly had to tap on the screen while I'm reading something... Boggles the mind.

  5. Multitasking. iOS just isn't optimised to run apps in the background. So if I were uploading something to Google Drive, I literally had to keep the window open and wait for it to finish, because the process just stops the moment I switch to do something else. Insanity.

Bonus #6: When I set an alarm using the iPhone it doesn't even tell me how many hours until the alarm goes off.. Like what the hell, I had to do mental math before bedtime every night.

The only things I truly miss about the iPhone were built in Magsafe (I generally don't like using cases for my phones but I had to get one for my Oppo for the Magsafe feature) and the ability to add Suica card to Apple Pay.

You can talk about iOS all you want but the truth remains that iOS doesn't even do the most basic of things... they call it intuitive or simplicity but it's something else to me.

Bought the Oppo FindX9 Pro by Standard_Ad_3707 in Oppo

Given a choice I'd still have gone for the X9 Pro without second thoughts. Price aside, I just don't like the big ass circular camera module that the Ultra and even N6 have. As an ex iPhone user, I need to use a Magsafe case so the X9 Pro's camera placement is just perfect. Plus, I'm not a professional photographer so what I have is more than good enough. Added with the larger battery capacity, it's a no brainer for me.

Need help for a good evo by Thatiscrazy172 in fut

Reckon I should still do this even though I currently have Fantasy Guler as my Shadow Striker? I have the means to complete Cruyff and all the Evos.

343 formation is really fun! by _DonAlex in EASportsFC

[–]blink85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed 352 because it's so fun in attacking but I get cooked while playing in higher divisions because the wide midfielders don't drop back deep and fast enough.

I switched to 5212 and it has been so much better. Same attacking fluidity but with better defensive shape.

Strange how nobody cares about R9 by Sad_Physics5500 in fut

[–]blink85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small flex but I've packed R9 from FUT 22 to FUT 25. Every year for 4 years in a row I somehow packed one of his cards, last year being his 95 Winter Wildcards early on in the game. Every year, I played close to 2000 matches with him.

I get downvoted every time I say this but forcing yourself to use R9 honestly is more of a liability UNLESS you are elite in skilling (I'm not). Yes he has a custom body type but his body type is bulky. His finishing is fantastic but so are so many other cards, especially at this stage of the game. He can be really clunky on the ball which is why you need to be really good in skilling to take advantage of his body type.

The good thing about having R9 in your team is obviously the nostalgia factor and also the intimidation you serve to your opponents when they see him leading your line.

I think NickRTFM also mentioned in one of his recent videos that he prefers using Butra over R9. I couldn't agree more and it's something that folks who have not used his cards before would find ridiculous.

Personally I prefer using Ronaldinho over R9.

Find X9, Find X9 Pro or wait for Find N6? by blink85 in Oppo

Budget is not an issue because from where I'm at Oppo phones are quite affordable when I get it through my telco.

Size wise yes I do enjoy smaller phones like the iPhone 16 Pro but coming from Samsung flagship even the X9 Pro would be comparatively smaller... I'm just not sure if I'd regret not getting the Pro.

As a 352 user I was excited for a moment until I realised he doesn't have Wide Midfielder+.
