  1. https://www.techadvisor.com/test-centre/mobile-phone/best-mid-range-phone-3627209/ "Not everyone can afford a flagship phone like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro, but the good news is that plenty of cheaper devices offer an excellent experience all the same." also not a quote from me ...
  2. I never said you can't buy it , you do all you want with your money . I own luxury watches , does a cheap quartz keep better time , yes 100% , and it is way cheaper . I got no problem saying that , and i never said otherwise . However , my watches do keep their value , which is nothing a cheap quartz will ever do , and neither will any phone . In fact , the watches do go up in value , show me your topmodel 10y old iphone holding its value or increasing ? My watches are a jewel , investment and i can read the time on it . Your phone can be a jewel , if you want that , never a investment , and you can call on it . https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Best-Smartphones-for-Less-Than-300-Euros.138973.0.html https://www.androidcentral.com/best-android-phones-under-300 "A 5,000 mAh battery is crammed inside of the Moto G Power, meaning you can get between two and three days of use out of the phone before needing to charge it up. In a world where a lot of $1,000 flagships need to charge every night, that's darn impressive. In addition to the long endurance, the Moto G Power (2020) also shines with its 6.4-inch Full HD+ display, reliable performance, and three rear cameras that are a lot of fun to shoot with." thats a quote not from me ...
  3. If you used to sell cellphones then you should know that Huawei did make very good cellphones until US did not gotten enough money from them , since they were 100% Chinese . They blacklisted them so they could not get access anymore on the playstore . They were gaining marketshare very fast . I can look up the exact numbers but they were speeding along with great phones for the money . After the ban , things have gone downhill fast . You can't just take the micro SD card from my phone and read everything , since you can choose where the data goes , and my phone works perfectly fine without SD card . If they can take my card , well they can also take my phone , and personally idc what the government is gonna read . If the government really wants to read my data , they gonna do anyway , remember SkyECC , specially encrypted phones ... Im not doing anything illegal , so they can read all they want . If i got a Android , google knows all already , if you got a Apple , they know everything . If you got Facebook , then they know everything also , i can go on for a while more , but i think i made my point . Which phone to recommend , idk , since im not in the market for 1 , but you got good camera phones for that money , you get good 5G phones for that money , you get phones with very good processor for that money , or with huge screens ... You can even get phones with good warranty for that money . Sure buy a expensive phone , and you can be sure that all of it is very good , since it is supposed to be the best that company can make , but that doesn't mean the cheaper phones are bad ( i never said they were just as good , i said that the difference is minimal for the user ) . A phone holding it's value ... that's a joke right ? I own a Omega watch , 1 is 14 y old , and its value is now 2.5 times my buying price . I am pretty sure any 5y old phone is not worth a lot anymore and will have lost prob at least 50% of its value , if the phone get's 10y old , im pretty sure you might get 1000 baht for it if you buy a new 1 . Nothing in technology is holding value , since it is made by the millions , and the technology is old and useless in a few years .
  4. I said depending on phone to phone for battery life . 120Hz screen uses more power then 60Hz screen .Faster processor uses more power . Does the battery drain faster ? Depending on what phone and what you do with it . You do get a bigger battery , but a old Nokia did last over 1 week without charging , i guess your new Iphone can't do that . FaceID , my previous phone from Huawei , already had FaceID . maybe is is time you look at different brands beyond Iphone . I see no differences in Android phones , all features are normally unlocked ( FM-radio is many times locked these days , but you can unlock it ) . Security features , still don't know which security feature ?Security for what ? Opening your phone with better fingerprint ( more points of detection ?) , other SSL certificates ? idk what you mean. 5G is faster but i stream directly HD movies without waiting on my 4G phone . No need to wait for hours or even minutes , opening and buffering takes a few seconds and after it just plays , in HD . I regularly watch TV on my phone , 4G no problem . I play a few games , when in Thailand i do it by connecting 4G to wifi hotspot of my phone , works without problem .Also on my previous phone and as far as i know , wifi hotspot was available on Android phones from 1st version . That you speed is higher is possible , but it is limited by your connection anyway . Your 5G is faster , but the difference between a 20 mbps and a 200 mbps is not as big as you might think it is . So your valid reasons imho are still unvalid . While you think it is , prob all the differences you mention now , and think are sooo much better , are available on next generation cheap phones . 5G now available on under 10k baht phones . I am not saying you can't buy a expensive phone , that's up to you , but the actual differences are more on the outside ( better/more luxurious) then on the actual phone . Maybe you should try a 10k phone once to see/feel the actual difference .
  5. better screen agreed , but only minor difference and prob not seen when not comparing side by side . better battery life , depending on phone to phone , faster processor and/or more features drains your battery faster . faster operating system , really ... if you buy a new phone all got +/- the same operating system it isn't faster , the processor can do it faster but the operating system is just the same android or apple thing . security ? what security feature is done by expensive phone which is not done on cheaper phone ? faster mobile internet , 5G ? yes prob if your operator supports it , and when do you actually need 5G ? I can perfectly what any movie ,stream music ... on 4G . Hotspot wifi , even the cheapest phone can do hotspot wifi , for many years already . The difference between a 10k phone and 30k phone is very very small . You want to buy a expensive phone , ok , everybody does what they want to do , but there is no reason to do so .
  6. True , but the numbers were nowhere correct . With Omicron , in Europe daily numbers were untestable high with over 40% positivity rate . You can see a trend in the numbers . Even if the numbers are 10-20 times higher , the trend of positives should also rise fast , together with positivity rate . Many countries in Europe are now over the top and are seeing fast dropping numbers , basically because last 6-8 weeks so many have been infected that the virus can't find a new victim anymore .
  7. Sure Thailand is a holiday destination . Remember Spain big in holiday destination in 80s/90s after other holiday destinations took over like Turkey , Greece , or further away destinations like Thailand but also Caribian ( Dominican Republic... ) , and so was said that glory days for Spanish tourism was gone . And yet , a few years later tourists are back . Thailand might have some difficult years , but tourism was doing good before Covid , and will do good again after . Why ? Simple , everything is there . Hotels everywhere , plenty of flights ( not right now ) , easy travel inside Thailand , relative safe , nightlife and plenty of others who went before ( it is always welcome to hear direct comment on a new holiday destination) .
  8. If Omicron is the cause of the rise , expect rapid rising numbers . If thats the case , all is over in roughly 2 months , meaning , most have had it , and a lack of new people to get it , means also rapid declining numbers .
  9. oh and you can contact the sellers also , so you can contact them and tell them what watch you are willing to sell . Chrono24 is very reputable worldwide website for buying/selling watches . You can certainly get better prices then selling to a shop , but you have to be prepared to wait for a buyer .
  10. Make account on Chrono24 . Be prepared to ship it around the world , you can check on prices for similar watches . If you select Thailand when checking for watches you also find shops which do sell 2nd hand watches , so they prob buy them from people ( at lower price obviously ) .
  11. I think most people don't try it . I am not scared of snakes , but i do respect them , meaning , keep distance and leave them alone when possible .
  12. You forget that Denmark ( if i'm correct ?) already declared it in September , but was back to rules in November . Now Sweden isn't alone , several countries in Europe are following and many more are about to go there . Omicron is together with vaccination pretty harmless for most people . In my country , on the superhigh peaks , of the people in hospital , 20-25% were children under 12 , with high fever . Nothing to worry about , just a few days of observation . I see many of the countries , even with impossible to test numbers of omicron , that now +/- 1/3th of population have gotten confirmed Covid . This can mean , some are in there who did get it 2 time or 3 times already , but in reality , i think prob 70-80% did have it already .
  13. Looks like she just eaten 5 of your chihuahua's , that's a fat snake .
  14. It is not about clean or dirty , EV are far better technology then combustion engine . That is a fact . It can be cleaner also , in fact , you can even make all the electric in your own house needed for some daily commuting , but if not , electric engines are still way better then combustion . They are silent , give 100% torque from 0 ,have very long life , with minimal to no service .
  15. I know 3 people with Tesla model 3 . 2 of them had to go in for repair under warranty , different reasons . I am not saying Tesla makes bad cars , the technology is all new , so defects are more likely to happen . I suspect that the new car brands , like Tesla , also need to learn how to build a car , next to the new technology . The old names in car building do know how to build a car , and only have to learn the new technology .
  16. Why do people buy a expensive car ,a cheap car brings you everywhere just the same . Why do people buy a expensive tv ? You can ask it for just about everything , sometimes there is a real difference , most of the times the differences are much smaller . Especially in technology , anything from 5y ago is now in the cheapest models on the market . People spend their money on what they want , everybody to it's own choice .
  17. IMHO , since heat rises , but you do not want the heat of the roof going down . Forget about the spray insulation and put the same money in the ceiling insulation . Ceiling insulation makes the heat not come down , everything up has to cent its way out .
  18. I highly doubt there will be many people scammed in being fake positive just to get the money . If there are only a few reports out of foreigners being locked inside hospital with big bills , then nobody will come anymore . A while ago , i heard the story of the brother of somebody at work . His brother is living/working in Singapore and he comes a few times a y to Thailand , before covid . This year he visited but he needed a PCR test again to go back to Singapore . He went in to a testing facility ( i think it was a private hospital but i am not sure ) , anyway they just asked what he wanted , he said Negative PCR for flying back to Singapore . They made a negative paper and he was out . Is this story true , idk , but i do know where the story comes from and i do know many things in Thailand can be done , so i believe the chance of it being true is very high . The 1st day test is higher risk of being scammed then the 5th day test imho . Is it a risk , yes sure , travel in these days is not for faint heart , but after being in Europe for +2y now , i am ready to take some gambles .
  19. After not being able to come to Thailand , after looking at it , it might not be the best but it is doable . If it all stays like this , i will come in May . Let me explain , i see it as sort of a quarantine without being locked inside room . You enter Thailand , get a test , since you had a test before flying , and not willing to be infected , you make pretty sure to avoid all risks before going . The airplane is a gamble , but masking as good as possible (ffp2 , worn good ) , is pretty safe . After that 1st day test , just stay safe , go to a shop , get some drinks , some food , and go back to the room . The 5 days like that are a breeze , not real holiday , but pretty ok . This makes the test on day 5 , unless really unlucky on the airplane a pretty good gamble . After that , you are free to go anywhere and have the holiday . I hope it changes to a even more relax schedule , but it is possible to do for many people i think .
  20. Not to forget also , uneducated .As far as i heard , you can get vaccinated easy in US , even get paid for it in some places . So being poor or capitalist is not the reason , being uneducated is . Hospitals can only try to fix something which is already broken , if they were vaccinated , they would not be in that spot .
  21. I replaced a Sharp aircon due to sound issues . After a while a wining sound came from the indoor unit . Cleaning did not help the problem , and finding a good resource for fixing was also not ready available ( i did not look too hard ) . I kept it for a couple more years , since the cooling was ok ( and most of the times i sleep with earplugs anyway ) .
  22. I would come also , In fact if it was PCR test and insurance alone i would be on my way pretty fast . Now i am aiming for May/June , in the hope that regulations are PCR test on day 1 alone .
  23. I do not know anybody who isn't tired of this pandemic . So imho it is a stupid question , i do know all about the rules and i do understand , but that doesn't mean i'm not tired of it . I'm not even going over to the crazy people , people who believe vaccines are 5G signals and further on ... . I lost far family members on covid , i am 3 times vaccinated with the "best known" vaccines , and all and i do understand all the measures taken . I am f******g tired of all this pandemic thing , and i do not heard anybody saying who isn't tired of it .
  24. Let me read that correct .... In Thailand , latest numbers .... +/- 8000 covid cases a day . Not bad for a population of 65 million . I mean , looking at western countries and you see 10s of times more cases , even countries with much less people inside . Here i read 12 MPs and 13 parliamentary officials having COVID-19, ... damn they must be very very unlucky there in parliament .... PS in Belgium , my country , heavy infected for last few weeks by Omicron , with +50k of infected daily ( positivity rate +40% so many many more undetected ), and 6!! governments ... for a country with 11mill people , there are only 1-3 people in government confirmed positive at certain point in time . Idk who is lying , i just make observation .
