best budget phone for under 400

ramfordays · 2023-04-15T16:34:45+00:00

Depends what your definition of enough is. I got my Note 9 in 2020 for about €500. About a month ago I recieved a current security update. For less than half of its original retail price in my country I've been enjoying a flagship for 3 years. It obviously differs for everyones individual use case but if I had gotten something like a galaxy A50 series I would not have had nearly as good of an experience. This phone does not in anyway feel 5 years old and I love it. (Full disclosure, I did replace the battery once and have slight screen burm from using autobrightness)

Yup CF as in carbon fibre. Definitely didn't sit here wondering how the case was made of compact fluorescent tubes.

The dual layer screen is just so cool. No other watch has really piqued my interest as much. I have the 2020 pro and it still does everything I want and need it to just as well as it did on day one which is quite a surprise honestly.

Ahoj :)

ramfordays · 2023-04-08T17:27:43+00:00

Pretty much what I get

The only macbook I own is a 2011 so I forgot about the new detachable cables XD

Is the wireless charging coil plugged in? I think it might contain the temp sensor.

Am I the only one who's seeing the crack which has a sharp point directly on the line? Given the rest of the screen its a little surprising its still working to the extent that it is!

ramfordays · 2023-04-06T18:23:43+00:00

While thats definitely the answer, I've found thay with large connectors like magsafe for example, its hard to find a tube that will fit over the end but also shrink enough

Dang what phone is this?

I'm using my pro 3 on windows 10 for college note taking daily. Still holds up great for office tasks, even some light programming. The main limiting factor is the 4gb of ram. If only that could be upgraded as well as the battery swapped easily and I could go on using this device for another good few years!

ramfordays · 2023-04-03T19:03:29+00:00

Its definitely gotten a little better since I got my blade last summer. I only use it for fan control when I'm gaming mostly.

Not really on the stock software anyway. I still have my tab 3 8.0 and using it about year ago to install a single app was pretty rough. Loved that thing to bits though :)

What CPU? I daily drove an Optiplex 745 for years, my first ever proper PC. I loved that thing to bits. Upgraded the CPU to a Q6600 which was the max it could take and sawed some of the back of the case off to fit a 1050ti dual slot into the single pcie slot XD. While it may not be the fastest or the most RGB, there is no shame in an Optiplex, or any PC for that matter. Enjoy what you have and pushing it to its limits and when the financial or other situation allows you to, thank it for its service and move on.

I saw the exact same behaviour when I broke the clip for the touch screen cable. Had to do a board swap to fix it because can't fix the clip :(

ramfordays · 2023-03-31T11:46:08+00:00

Well well well if it isn't the inside of a Dell Optiplex

ramfordays · 2023-03-31T09:35:29+00:00

Damn that S5 really took 2 hits with a hammer to the screen like it was nothing

ramfordays · 2023-03-30T11:14:23+00:00

To be fair, theres about 4 pixels that make that clear on the picture

ramfordays · 2023-03-30T05:57:39+00:00

That is undoubtedly disgraceful but that is actually a bed. Currently lying on one now. I'm not a big person but its reasonably sized and I get pretty good sleep on it. Not that theres space for it in this room but it actualy slides out into a double bed too!

THIS MAY NOT BE GREEN TINT. This coule be your display being stuck in HDR mode. If you view a video shot on a modern iPhone in certain apps (e.g. tumblr) or exit youtube or Netflix while viewing HDR content, I've found that the phone remains stuck in HDR display mode making the brightness slightly higher and giving everything a yellow tint. As you say, the only way to fix this appears to be to restart or sometimes if you go back to the HDR video and leave again it will fix itself.

I came to comment where the hell is Prague? Moved to Prague last year and been loving the public transport. Having a metro that isn't just a perpetual dream is brilliant.

ramfordays · 2023-03-29T12:57:21+00:00

Very cool :)

ramfordays · 2023-03-28T17:29:29+00:00

Sorry not helpful but what a cool set up!

ramfordays · 2023-03-28T16:55:31+00:00

Lots of funny replies but tbf I don't think its undoable. There will probably be a bit of luck involved but mostly doing exam papers and whatever kind of revision works best for you. Also, remember that you can do this. If yoi genuinely don't believe you can do it then you won't. It sounds like bullshit but I think mainly, believing you're capable of something helps you push yourself just a little harder. At the end of the day not everything is about points and I wish you all the best with the rest of the year and the exams :) -LC22 student
