Asus rog gaming phones are more then thatin fact 🙂 CRAZY 9 hours ago, Crazycrab said: I agree, I just got the Note 9T. 5G, fast charging, 5000Mah battery, 48MP camera and it cost less than £200. With phones with these features for this price you are completely wasting your money with £800+ Samsung's and IPhones as far as I'm concerned. Look at some of these other brands and you will find something just as good for a fifth of the price. I know right, 108MP with wide lens and has OLED and you name it. the video that you seen is the phone that I got and use 🙂 I not going with 5G since they had to remove less to get 5G in. VERY happyy so far, speeds are fast good 4k for watching and can do gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a full blown computer for way less than that. I mean I know a smartphone basically is a tiny computer but still... Gaming phones, The S21 Ultra, Z-Fold, Xperia 1 Mark 2 and a rather extensive list of phones cost in the $1200 or more bracket. Where have you been? lol. 12 hours ago, Crazycrab said: I agree, I just got the Note 9T. 5G, fast charging, 5000Mah battery, 48MP camera and it cost less than £200.

It depends on what you need your phone for - the Note happens to be key business tool for me so that's why I bought it. That being said, I'm not paying $800+ for a phone either because that's just retarded when you can literally wait for the phone to depreciate in value and get it for half off or more in the next 6 months.

I think apple macbook pro and ROG, MSI machines are expensive but yeah point taken that some of the ASUS machines for laptop and even desktop build can be made with that price.

Where have you been? lol. I mostly play console games. I've never even heard of a gaming phone. But I don't like playing games on the go, and I much prefer playing on a big screen than small portable ones, so It doesn't sound like something that would interest me anyways.

Fair point you made there but we weren't just talking gaming phones though, every high-end premium phone usually cost around that price point. Phone prices for high-end flagships has been steadily climbing for the last 7 years and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Any smartphone which I purchase would definitely be in my use for at least a minimum of 3 to 4 years before I would be considering to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I try to buy only the good models of the phone and make sure that the phone price is reasonable. That kind of works out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not at all, I am not moved by latest generation mobile phones. Provided my current isn't giving me an issue, I wouldn't care much to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I may update the phone if I need any good device in near future. But as of now I don't have the need for the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I try as much as I can to make use of any smartphone that I make use of at least 2 years before getting another new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Absolutely not. I was using an iPhone 5 when the iPhone 10 was out. Why? Because it did everything I wanted it to do, and it still worked like a dream, so I saw no reason to get a new one, or "upgrade". I only got a new one because that one both quit on me and physically came apart, so I didn't really have much choice. I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro now. It's a great phone, if not a pain in the ass. I miss my iPhone 5. But it's impossible to find and get a working one, so I have to use the newest stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I think since 10 onwards changes are bigger prior to that not a lot of improvement was visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used iPhone but from what I heard, once you do your updates when you're supposed to, the phone will always run perfectly and never give you issues.

I never did a single update to my iPhone 5. It worked 10 years past its prime. The only reason it quit on me was because I left it in a locked car in the sun for about a week while @Rain Dew and I went to the Fanboy Expo in Knoxville Tennessee. A week during August, in the sun, in a locked vehicle with no ventilation. I'm surprised the seats hadn't melted. When we got back was also when I fell, so all in all the return sucked. But the trip was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
