Cell Phones Dedicated Discussion (Market Prices/ Troubleshooting/ Advice/ Recommendations)

Using 2A is most appropriate.

When it comes to power adaptors, voltage should match and power output (amperes) of adaptor should be equal or higher than required Amperes of that device.

can anyone advise about new nokia 6.1 or 2018 model, how is this phone?

[k-four-nine]

Definitely the best phone in 20k price range.

Pure Android, support for Project Treble, Carl Zeiss lens, Gorilla Glass 3, matchless build quality with machined single block of 6000 series aluminium (Same as iPhone 6S and 7). Couple that with Snapdragon 630 (Which is vastly superior than SD625 and Kirin 970 seen in Redmi 5 Plus and Huawei Mate 10 Lite respectively) and you've a winner.

I just wish Nokia offer it with an unlocked bootloader, like Xiaomi. Granted; this phone; being an AndroidOne device; will be updated to Android P and Q which are good for the next two years but I think this phone can live WAY past that; given its solid build quality and up to date powerful hardware!

In 20k which one will we get the 3gb or 4gb variant?
It does seem promising, stock android and long term support plus good performance.

[512a]

I think 3gb variant

+1 from my side
I shifted to Android from iPhone completely in 2015
But I can still say Apple is the best despite many limitation

[k-four-nine]

The iPhone 6?

Brother, I'm sure it was a nice phone 2-4 years ago when it was relatively new but now... It's on the brink of becoming an ancient fossil!

The iPhone 6 will be 'obsolete' by the end of 2018, after the launch of iOS 12.

Again iphone and android and which is better debate. It totally depends on ones likeness and preferences. I am using iphone 6s (shifted from Android due to some reason).
To be honest I miss my android phones, the things I miss most is smart dialing, no OTG support. There is only 100 calls data available in dial list (even some button phones can store more than that probabaly). I didn't use to save numbers as they used to be there in dial list for ages but now i have to add most of the numbers which i think I'll have to use in a few days time. The limitation of using itunes for file transfer is plain stupid. One can receive file from another device via shareit but you cant transfer that data to your computer!!! You don't have any camera controls. You can't turn off shutter sound unless you put your phone on silent.
I am not talking about trend setter etc. but these are the problems faced in day to day usage of phone.

Such outdated and semi ancient devices, be it iPhone or Android may die anytime unexpectedly and cause a lot of inconvenience during urgent and important times. Phones have maximum 2-4 years useful life.

Even though i can buy used phones on 3 months no question asked money back guarantee (in case of issue), i still would not buy one as my daily driver, be it iPhone and Android and would not recommend either.

Reliability and durability is most important for me, which is why i prefer and recommend new stuff, as the probability of new set going bad is far less than a 2-4 years abused set.

Getting original batteries for obsolete set is impossible, so no matter what, it will become nightmare due to terrible battery timings anyway.

[k-four-nine]

Ok, one simple answer.There are many people out there using iPhone 3s, 4, 4s & 5c (all of these are old models), if you call them obsolete then how they are still running well on older software ?

The iPhone 4S runs like a snail on iOS 9! It'll make you cry!

And the performance of The Mighty iPhone 5S on iOS 11 is nothing to brag about, either! My little brother's low-end Xiaomi 4A which he bought for like12k is quicker than my cousin's 5S on iOS 11!

And I suspect Apple will do the same to iPhone 6 with iOS 12 i.e its performance will be intentionally and deliberately crippled so people feel obliged to get a newer model iPhone!

So, you were saying?

You're comparing a flagship with mid rangers. The chip set in an older flagship is better than a new midranger. Check the nexus phones they are still performing better and apple can't say that they have the best software now, check all reviews all tech reviewers say that the pixel 2 has better software than any phone on the market as well as the best photo and video quality even though it is the only flagship with a single camera now. Another factor is that most android phones are filled to the brim with bloatware you should compare the 'bare bones' ios to stock android.

[k-four-nine]

Ditto!

@tintin1 Here a speed comparison video between The iPhone X and Google Pixel:

Impressive how the so called laggy, bloaty, heavy, ugly Android managed to smoke the ultra-flagship iPhone X in almost all aspects!

And... Here's a comparison between Nokia 6.1 and The iPhone 6S:

The Nokia 6.1 is just a tad behind The 6S. And I believe that its performance will be on par with The iPhone 6!

And do notice the Geekbench Score at the beginning of the video. It might surprise you!

you can shut lock sound off by going to sounds and haptics and then clicking lock sound off

Best app for team communication/collaboration for office projects?

Discussion in WhatsApp groups is very cluttering.

Basic requirements, nothing advanced.

[k-four-nine]

If its just voice group chat you're after then try Zello or Voxer.

They basically work like one way radios a.k.a walkie talkies.

And if you need collaboration on a document or a spreadsheet, then Microsoft OneNote via Office Online works like a charm.
