scammed

i just wish that was reflected by a corresponding decrease in traffic jam

i have seen them for 8k, you may want to at least test sit on it,

nearly all scooters are too small for foreign men

You are wrong again.

 

Because Android releases the new OS, doesn't mean it will automatically update on your no brand phone.

 

Often those no brand phones have an unlicensed OS intalled as well

 

With the Android devices I import it is the exact same.

 

Boxes with exact same spec and OS, some brands offer OTA, others never have an OTA.

 

I let you guess which one don't have

 

 

Yes because your no brand phone had a chip manufactured in someones backyard in China, and wouldn't actually perform properly. Likely even fake spec as well.

I guess you do know that the phone manufacturer can have Antutu banchmark read whatever spec he want

 

it was a huewi? spelling? 

and those are notoriously low spec right where it matters, RAM & battery,

i was foolish to take the cashiers word for it that it had the performance i asked for,

after this incident i have wised up and read up on the subject

chip manufactured in someones backyard in China, and wouldn't actually perform properly you say ?

the worlds leading semiconductor company, taiwanese based TSMC

count huawei as their 2nd largest customer, so your rant has no merit

I think the op should stick with their existing phone, when they come to look for a new phone I would choose the brands that provide regular security updates and an upgradeable path to the next Android XX versions for the next 5 years

I don't know anything about doogee so i am not going to comment about that brand

I do have Xiaomi, MI, redmi and Huawei phones and they all receive regular security updates and operating systems upgrades from Android 8 to Android 10.

I wouldn't get hung up about ram 3/4GB is fine for the majority of people,

Same applies to batteries I am not going to buy a phone just on battery life if it doesn't provide all the other features that I think are important to me.

the brands dont update the operating system, its the operating system that does that, i.e android,

all phones are equal in that department.

i would get hung up on insufficient memory cause i had such a phone once,

i say once cause rest assured that wont be happening again,

the phone becomes as unusable as if its dead battery,

and i barely even use a phone so that apply to all people.

a phone with a good battery features all the functionality as all phones with weak battery,

in addition to function at all times, the single most important criteria for a phone.

i had a phone with weak battery too so i know all about it.

nebber again a low spec phone for me, ebber

I might have been confused.

 

Bought the phone a year ago, and thought I paid low 3000's for a 3/32Gb version, so was thinking that if I spent about 50% more today I would get something bigger, better and nicer.

 

Those thoughts were wrong, because what I have found in that price range so far has actually lower spec.

 

Especially since I just checked my previous purchase, and discovered I paid 4800 Baht for the 4/64 Gb version

yeah, it wont make sense until your battery is degrading.

if i had to buy a phone today, it would be doogee bl9000,

it got a 9000 mAh battery & 6 GB RAM, 

but since i got a new phone that works flawlessly i wont be buying until there is a need,

either through 'progress' that demand more memory, or battery juice has decayed 

i dont like insects, ergo condo it is

My MI A2 Lite is 1 year old has a 4000 mAh battery which lasts easily 3 days.

 

It has 3/32 Gb Memory and is never short of memory either.

 

But then again, the battery and memory chips are most likely from a renowned brand, and not from a Chinese backyard factory as in the no brand phones, which you consider equal to brand name phones.

 

I don't know much about phones, hence this thread, but I run a business in Android devices I import from China, and I'm very well aware of the difference in performance between a Samsung memory and one made by a Chinese manufacturer which doesn't even has a website.

 

Same will apply to other components used on the phone

why on earth would you look for a budget phone if you already have a budget phone that meet your demand ?

I think the phones that your are looking at will be a downgrade to your current phone, as the Xiaomi Mi A2 is well speced with a decent 432 ppi Pixel Density


 

nah...its a 25% increase in battery capacity & 33% increase in RAM capacity,

but 4 GB is still a bit on the low side,

and im guessing he already experienced either that, or the battery has decayed

to the point it doesnt even last through the day

How wrong you can be.

 

Brand name means a LOT for a phone, because it will also mean the quality of the components used.

 

You think a RAM or eMMc chip from BiWin or Maxio, will perform the same as the same chips from Samsung - Toshiba or Micron? The latter is what is used in brand name devices, the former in knock off's.

 

I don't even dare to think about what processor might be in there.

 

Ratings are added within the first 2 weeks after the device is delivered, and when everything still looks good, but mean nothing as I expect the phone to last more than 2 weeks

 

The reason your phone warns you about your memory is most likely because you use one of those no brand Chinese knock off's.

 

My current phone, a MI A2 Lite with 3/32 Gb never warns me about low memory.

 

This phone seems to have similar spec, has a brand name and 15 months warranty, and is cheaper, so I think better deals are available

it doesnt warn me, it doesnt have to, it just give a notification of memory use,

and i conclude i use a bit over 4 GB RAM, so for me the minimum requirement is 6 GB.

anyway the phone you listed has the same spec so if you are comfortable with that brand all the merrier, and if its cheaper even better,

but do read the fine print so you dont get lower spec battery/RAM then 5000 mAh / 4GB RAM

brand means nothing, battery and memory do, that A91 comes with 5000 mAh battery and you

cant get any better than that for 4500 baht, that translate into over 3 days of no recharge,

meaning you wont panic if you dont have any charge to plug into.

4 GB RAM is on the low side, i note when i close apps my phone informs me i use a bit over 4 GB,

and i am a very light user, so its gonna lag a bit at times when it has to take data from ROM.

all in all you are not going to get a better deal at this time for your 4500 baht budget,

and there arent a whole lot of phones out there with that good battery regardless of what you pay

final note: you can see on 'ratings' what people that bought it think of the product

on that site, this particular item has no rating at all, so if it was me i'd keep browsing for a product with stars and buyer reviews
