David, 18 Jun 2023I'm not sure what this obsession of OLED is all about.... moreMost consumers use their smartphones for 3-4 years max so they don't care, they don't take that into account. The most important in a screen (for consumers) is if the colors are stunning, if it's very smooth and fast and if it's very bright.

It would Have an excellent graphics card and I would like to put it together myself. You were talking about greed and its true. In India you can get 3X more luxuries added to your phone than what you have to spend over here. I have a friend in India and I should tell him what I want for specs and what I want to spend and then just unlock it when I get it.

        David, 18 Jun 2023I'm not sure what this obsession of OLED is all about.... moreTFT's quality is why. It sucks. Poor viewing angles and bright, washed-out colours. Colour accuracy and brightness is also inferior. OLED is superior in all regards of quality.

        In terms of durability you may be right, but in a world where phones are designed to be upgraded every 2 years, display lifespan doesn't really matter.

        Even then, OLEDs can last long. The display on my old Galaxy S3 Mini is still going strong, no burn-in or anything visible. Same story with my YotaPhone (now that is some real eye candy).

            Is 1+ Nord 5G good or bad ? OnePlus Nord is the best mid-range device, It has 5 hours of SOT on average.

              Unbelievable how much phones have regressed because of corporate greed! How have we come to only have one camera on $300 phones? Like even macro cameras are now becoming hard to come by!

              It's unbelievable to think that only three years ago budget phones came with up to four usable cameras: case in point being the former $250 Moto G8 Power. That one even had telephoto, and it cost less than this!

              Screw today's phone companies and their greed. Asus, Sony and Redmagic (and a couple more) are the only ones who still care about making feature-packed phones that aren't made to be upgraded in two years. Everyone else is just no headphone jack, no SD card, no camera shills. And it's starting to creep into budget segment too.

              Greed and e-waste...

                For what it offers, it's expensive. It deserved a little better Soc and a better screen at this price...

                    1+ Nord n30 5g is the same as 1+ Nord ce 3 lite and OPPO k11x 5g. WHY IS IT THE SAME

                      Mills, 15 Jun 2023A34 has D1080 with the same capacity and same tech (Li-Po) ... moreNot only that, Samsung A34 has better camera with 4K video and 1080p with OIS stabilisation besides 4 OS upgrades.
                      In this segment US seems to have not enough competition and consumers suffer.

                        Hemedans, 15 Jun 2023Funny thing Nord N20 had same sd 695 soc and 4500mah and sc... moreBecause the display of N30 consumes more battery life.

                          Me: Well here we have another android mid-range phone. Looks good- (sees 2mp macro and depth)
                          Also me: (stops video)

                                    TECH--BEAST, 15 Jun 2023Software optimization Fair counter-argument but in raw performance, the A34 would win.

                                      It seems US market is not very competitive and actually pretty bad.

                                        300$ for Snap695 and Ips screen in 2023, really feels bad.
