    rafnov, 05 Sep 2024Is it true that screen is so dark?I doubt that its dark per se, just not that bright enough in direct sunlight that is. That amount of brightness is serviceable for everyday use.

      Is it true that screen is so dark?

A Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G costs almost 10% less despite being around half a year old in said country, but preferences exist anyway so why would I bother.

              This is a great midrange phone for my needs as it meets the following requirements:

              - At least 8GB RAM & 256GB internal storage
              - Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
              - MicroSD card slot up to 512GB / 1TB
              - 3.5mm headphone jack
              - Dual/stereo speakers
              - Must support 5G
              - At least a 4500mAh or 5000mAh battery
              - At Least 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate
              - Upgradeable to at least Android 12 or Android 13, with the possibility of upgrading to Android 14 or 15

              I researched on GSMArena and found that fewer than 30 phones meet these requirements, with most either exceeding my budget or unavailable in the Philippines, such as the Sony Xperia.

              I bought it used on Facebook Marketplace from a reputable seller for 9,000 PHP. It's still performing well and has already been updated to Android 14. Based on typical Android support of two major updates, it will be supported until Android 15.

              With 8GB of RAM, I can multitask and keep multiple apps open simultaneously without experiencing any lag while playing games. The 256GB of storage allows me to install numerous apps and games with plenty of room to spare. The 120Hz refresh rate ensures fast and responsive performance.

              The chipset is also decent for gaming. I can play Mobile Legends on Ultra Settings, Farlight 84 on High Settings, PUBG on Medium Settings, and games like CODM, Warzone, Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, and Honkai Star Rail on Medium Settings (It can go high though high settings are not advisable for extended periods without a cooler).

              For storage, I keep my files, documents, pictures, photos, songs, music, eBooks, movies, videos, game backups, and ROMs on the SD card. Even if I format the phone, the SD card remains unaffected, allowing me to easily transfer files to a new phone or copy files to a PC using a card reader. The SD card is essential for me.

              It also features a 3.5mm jack, allowing me to use my wired earphones or connect the phone to a laptop or speaker to listen to and play music stored on the device. Like the SD card, this feature is indispensable to me. The sound quality is satisfactory, allowing me to enjoy music without needing to connect to a Bluetooth speaker in my room.

              In the Philippines, 5G coverage is expanding, making it advantageous to have a phone that supports 5G as we transition to this technology, with 6G possibly being released in a few years.

              The 5000mAh battery lasts a long time and doesn't overheat easily, based on my experience. It can go for extended periods without needing to be charged and charges quickly with the appropriate cable and charger.

              The camera is good; I take pictures whenever I go out or travel, and they turn out well, which I sometimes post on social media.

              Overall, this phone is perfect for my needs, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It represents a significant upgrade from my old phone, the Oppo A9 2020. If you have similar requirements for a phone like mine, this model will also be ideal for you. Although it's no longer available in official stores, you can find many sellers on secondhand markets.

                              I will never purchase oppo again because of the bad experience I got from buying Oppo A98. I am disappointed of the quality.

                                I bought this phone 2 weeks ago. The last 4 days it has been sending 3 texts at a time instead of ONE. I rang my phone service provider to see what was wrong and they said it is a current REPORTED PROBLEM WITH OPPO PHONES!
                                embarrassing issue to deal with. Not waiting for them to SORT it. I'm taking it back tomorrow and won't be buying OPPO again.

                                  The pros in this phone is the charging speed
                                  And the cons is the processor it's still snapdragon 695😀 and still ips LCD display 17k price and still ips LCD display too expensive but poor specs it's not worth it for the price too much poor specs and so expensive for 17k in that specs

                                        -Front camera is outright terrible ( especially the lack of colour accuracy in low light or any indoor light)
                                        - The back camera uses a cheap lens and has chromatic aberration ( alot of pink outlines in bright light)
