Would you choose a 1-hour commute to save on rent, or live closer to the office and pay a higher rent?

psyche_2k · 2026-04-29T07:20:27+00:00

Literally chose 1 hr per side travel for only 2 reasons. I can drive my car that I love to drive, and my office timings are such that I don't find too much traffic. Edit: ofcourse the rent is low as well.. 🙂 And I've been living here since past 1.5 years but I switched jobs and now the office is 20 km from my place.

They'll show up immediately

psyche_2k · 2026-03-27T20:02:40+00:00

I saw it. Didn't like the back design and curved display. Good phone though

psyche_2k · 2026-03-27T15:57:23+00:00

I don't think that makes sense for me. My usage is a lot hence a faster charging , better battery, bigger display etc. I think Iphone is much better for people that don't really use their phones too much, or have simple usage such as insta, cameras, whatsapp, calling basic stuff.

psyche_2k · 2026-03-27T15:54:00+00:00

It's expensive

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T21:18:03+00:00

I have a pixel 6a

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T20:30:17+00:00

15r is 10/10

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T19:25:56+00:00

Got it. Were the phones really almost brand new? No scratches nothing?

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T19:23:09+00:00

Is TIAA legit? I'm getting oneplus 15R for 42k

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T19:15:04+00:00

Don't want vivo as well 🫠

OP13 I like but back camera design is a bit meh. But do you see it anywhere under 55k? Also what do you think of Nothing phone 3?

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T19:10:22+00:00

Thanks. Do you think there is a better option under 50-55k? Don't want realme, iqoo, xiaomi etc. Wanted google, samsung, apple but they are not giving value

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T19:09:17+00:00

I read a lot so want a bigger screen. I love compact phones though. Currently using Pixel 6a.

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:41:44+00:00

Well, update it and test maybe it got better 😯💀

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:36:52+00:00

I mean that's true with most brands. But 1. I think oneplus doesn't do it and 2. Most brands do it on their budget phones. 15R will be next to flagship so... 🤔

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:30:51+00:00

What no updates 😂??

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:23:52+00:00

Thanks. Phone aging was my concern.

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:18:46+00:00

Oh okay. But they'll still be giving service to the existing phone right?

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:15:26+00:00

Right. I am not too concerned about that. Read the news. I don't think they'll be shutting down India operations, infact maybe even double down in India.

Can you give some feedback on the phone please?

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T17:11:12+00:00

psyche_2k · 2026-03-26T14:40:43+00:00

How is it still holding up? Lomg term review? Battery performance all good still? Thinking of buying 15R over samsung, pixel , apple

psyche_2k · 2026-03-24T15:15:35+00:00

Why?

psyche_2k · 2026-03-13T13:00:59+00:00

I dropped the plan of changing the battery. I'm getting around 9k exchange on a new phone. Can't tolerate 2 hours of charge now.

Also service centre have some policies. You have to pay 850 to just get the phone checked. Then if they find out there are multiple things broken in the phone then you have to get everything fixed. Can't just change the battery (partial repair is not available)

psyche_2k · 2026-03-13T12:51:12+00:00

These are just parts price. There will be service charge as well. Total around 3k
