I ended up using Google account backup and it transferred everything to new cell. The new phone prompted with instructions. Was very simple. FWIW ...The phone I purchased was cheap Chinese infinix Hot 10s. Paid 4400b the 6gb/128gb. Very happy with it for my needs, which is just basic stuff. It is actually a Hong Kong company with it's holding company based in France. The 6gb/128gb spec is very good for the price. Is the operating system stable?

I use if for lots of things but I wouldn't call myself a power user on a mobile. No fb or any of that social media, almost no games, and I don't make pictures all night and day.

scubascuba3 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The battery of the Note 9 is pants after a year, what's the 10 like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.B Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) "Has anyone physically seen these mobile phones in a shop - Redmi Note 10 Pro and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC." Both phones are Xiaomi. I don't think you will see them in a shop. I understand the company's sales philosophy is through Online sales hence the cheap prices yet quality phones.

OneMoreFarang Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I think with batteries it is possible to say how long a device can be used with a fully charged battery and how long it takes to charge the battery. These are data depending on the device and in part about the charger. But battery life is a different thing. Sometimes batteries fail early, sometimes they last longer. It depends on temperatures, how often they are charged and many other factors. I don't think it's easy to say the battery from device x is always bad after a certain time.

I noticed a massive difference in my Motorola G7 Power known to have a good battery vs the Note 9 which was disappointing early on, not faulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhibes Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Not sure how they can call it a Note device without the S-Pen. My Galaxy Note 4 has served me well over the years but is showing it's age. Will get a Note 10 Plus when I head back to the US Jan-ish. Will miss the replaceable battery.

DrJack54 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hope putting question here OK. Phone experts can have a laugh at my expense. So..... Previous phone nexus Huawei. When I have site open example Thaivisa and then go google say Google maps etc.....I can go to square symbol bottom of cell and when hit all open tabs are there and I can just go back to any of them. Brilliant. So I purchased cheap cell..Infinix (not a copy) and it's fine for my needs, EXCEPT. .....when I have something open and then want google something quickly, I seem to lose previous tab. The gf tells me that I'm stupid and it's just "settings". Have looked and can't see anything to fix my issue Any help sooooo appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
