Freee!! Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I only see one real problem, it is Samsung so comes so loaded with bloatware it is nearly unusable. Besides that, that bloatware takes too much storage and even more after the unavoidable update upon activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to handle bloatware is to root your phone and then you can delete most of it......This is what I did......I got about 90-95% of it......A few I could not take off no matter what I tried....And a few were were just to complicated and risky to take off.....

fforest Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 I just dont get why people think spending 45,000 baht on a new phone is a good investment when after a year or 2 its worth one third to one quarter of that at best..... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My way of handling bloatware is not buying the phone (anything from the brand). I can't afford to root the phone as I have too many (mostly security related) things that refuse to run on a rooted phone. In the past I used to root phones, but not any more.

Yesitisdakid Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Sometimes more technology Cost Less. The phone I bought just before the one I own now I paid about 15/16 thousand baht for that I got 4 gigs of RAM 64 gig of storage and a 16-megapixel camera It was a great telephone. It had a replaceable battery that's why I held onto it so long. The one I bought just recently I paid 9000 Baht For it has 6 gigs of RAM 128 GB storage and a 64 megapixel camera. I still have the old phone and do a lot of photos with it and to be honest I have a hard time telling the difference. The new one also has a 30 watt charger that goes from zero to a hundred in about an hour and 20 minutes 50% charge in about 35 or 40 minutes. And fully charged with average use I'm getting 40 hours plus from 100 to 15%. I was skeptical about built-in batteries but now there's no choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code_slayer_bkk Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 There is something about any phone that runs Android ... seems to me ... yeah .. I know a lot of people swear by them ... for me ... they just don't seem responsive enough .... something seems to "lag" ... I don't know what it is ... maybe nothing .... Also, I kinda believe we have hit the wall with diminishing returns spending so much on a phone ... but .... lol ... I will probably be forced to do it again ...

Agreed, thought the thread was about some 5k to 8k second hand phones. FFS, 40k on a phone ? 1,000 euro ? No way I spend more than 200 e on one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegrogmonster Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I nearly pass out when I see the price people are paying for mobile phones. I have a work iPhone that I don't pay for. For my personal phone I have an iPhone that my mate gives me every 2 years when his company gets new phones from their service provide and I get the 2 year old phones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
