iOS Never Again, 30 Sep 2020Eveb that 4th major update of iOS is behind Android Marshma... moreYeah, sure pal. When you hate Apple, it'll never be good enough even if it's light years ahead of any Android. I was on Android almost from its beginnings and now I'm on iOS for the 2 year and while there are some differences, they are pretty much the same thing. And both have their own stupidities, it's just a matter which annoys you more. For me, data hoarding Google and months long waiting to get updates that stop coming after 2 years was the thing that annoyed me more than no sideloading of apps or inability to set default browser (which you can now). Literally the only annoyance left is inability to use BT to send photos to old dumb phones or phones that just aren't iPhones. But I don't need that too often so it's not a deal breaker.

    Let that sink in!
    Only Fools support an outdated OS.

Yeah pal, sure. Totally independent. I couldn't care less if they are the fastest growing company, their models segmenting and naming is beyond retarded even if some phones are half decent and I'd want them. Also your lame baseless hatred of Apple and iOS is bordering idiocy right about 300 posts ago. Hate it all you want, but I'll get the next update the moment it's announced. And it'll be the 4th major update. Good luck ever seeing that on any Android lol. It's that among many things why I don't use it anymore and with so many phones Realme churns out every month, it's something you'll NEVER see on ANY Realme phone either. You can be assured of that.

        People from BBK electronics aren't working in Realme. They have their own staff.

        Clearly you are jealous of Realme's success.
        Fastest growing brand out there.
        And their Realme Ui isnt stuck in the mud like Apple with their iOS.

            This guy's poster shots very nicely sum up the brand : DBag and proud of it.

              Nicky , 28 Sep 2020I bought one of their phones in Europe. Their European cust... moreon average this is how these crap brands do business. People fall for their huge marketing traps and ambassadors on tech sites help too. if 50% of new customers wanna try their devices, still a huge sell. these companies are alive just because 80-85% customers are hunting for 'bang for the buck'. but funny though is they wont mind on low to non existent after sales service, poor software update full with bugs, low quality hardware, half baked features.

                I bought the C3 and it turns out it's the worst phone ever. It freezes all the time, some apps don't work at all. Sometimes when tapping an icon for an app it just goes to a blank white page and stays there. at other times when you tap the icon it just doesn't work and then after a couple of seconds it tries to work, then you have tapped it again because I thought it didn't work now it's trying to do both and then it freezes. It would have been better if it had less and performed better.

                  I think this 125W charging would occur in a Narzo series phone with mediatek dimensity processor and it would be under 20k.

                    Realme Narzo series has some really decent smartphones and the MediaTek chipsets powering them are a great bonus

                      Yeah quality wise it doesn't feel like a premium phone.
                      I bought him last year the Realme X2 Pro.
                      The one thing that sucks more on it is the camera,i have no words.

Never used a phone from Realme, actually I have never seen one, but I hear people complaining about the quality not being able up to the standard..

                          Realme Narzo series have some good smartphones released lately..they have amazing features along with reliable and promising chip-sets.

                              Also no, Realme was not "founded" 2 years ago. They gave it a name 2 years ago. Realme is just another brand of BBK ELectronics that owns Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and basically just made IQOO recently. Realme is part of this. They are not some new startup, they are another name from company that churns out billions of phones. It's just unrealistic that a company throwing out phones faster than companies making chocolate bars would support anything for any decent length of time. Unlike the one you have in your username that releases just 4 phones a year and has no problems providing long term support for them. It shouldn't matter whether phone is 100€ or 1200€, they should all be receiving equally long proper software support.

                                I bought one of their phones in Europe. Their European customer service is appalling. U get what u pay!! Definitely back to main brands next time.

                                  Seems like this guy likes to market himself more, than the Brand/Product he is supposed to market lol

                                        Realme gives regular updates.
                                        A friend of mine just got September security patch 2 weeks back.

                                        They won't give you Android version updates for some cheap 100$ phone.
                                        So don't get your hopes high with cheap 50-100$ phones.
                                        But they do serve updates well for their popular or expensive models.

                                        Besides, company is only 2 years old, so Stop complaining.
                                        They are doing excellent in sales department, grabbing marketshare rapidly which is only possible by providing well rounded bang for your buck devices.
