It’s almost as if they rush it and fix the problem with software updates.
Weldone sir, what do you think is the best gaming phone for 200k to 300k budget
Buy Infinix note 40 pro, just got mine yesterday at ₦358k, PUBG edition, haven't had any problem with PUBG or Free Fire, I'd do a COD test on Saturday and if you respond I'll tell you how it went? 😊@@actionboi05
Welcome to the PC Gamer's experience with AAA launches
A well done video!!! Keep us in the know, because SAMSUNG IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE PHONE BUSINESS!! You hit it right on the nail!! Unless there's significant upgrades, in comparison to what you already have,nix the idea of forking over money, for a NEW ONE!!!! Nix it!!!!! Love the video,guy!!!!! Earl of ElBarrio,NYC,NY. 5/28/24. 8:32PM.
Exactly and very expensive
My brain is my oldest device..at 60 years old and still receives updates from books and media
G.O.A.T
Media is huge cancer for brain cells. Turn off tv!!!!
Real
Lol good for you man
Can you make a call in long distance using it?
This is so true. If you have a flagship from either Samsung or Apple as far back as 2022 or even 2021, you will still be good today without upgrading.
They're not meant to be upgraded each year anyway so it's not a big deal that there's not a big differencr between current phone and new new phone a year later.
I have s22 Ultra. And there is litterly no need for me to change it for something more modern. I plan on having this phone until somthing phone changing happens, or until my phone dies.
Only upgrade when the security updates have stopped. XM and Poco phones have a page where they inform when the updates become EOL.
I have realme5 pro bought back in 2019, and still the phone works flawlessly.
I just upgraded my sisters iphone 8 to xs and it was just because of the updates and my family had the xs just hanging around
I totally agree. I still use a Galaxy Note9 and still works as new. No need to upgrade. The important is that I have a phone to use
No more security updates though...I'm on a note 10 that no longer gets updates.. the phone works fine but no security is an issue
@@ephilliemusic That's one of the disadvantages of using old phones
Even this is not enough for a phone change. Just make sure you put on more security measures. Download an antivirus, make sure you avoid phising websites and the like
@@osasumwenehigiator5197 Yes I did. Thanks
@@ephilliemusicnote 10plus just got a new security patch this june
As a midrange user : it's one reason I target an upgrade every 5 years. It'll be long enough for the average OS update to start being outdated, the performance/camera improvement would've start mattering, and there's enough new features being developed to try out all at once.
Your lucky i had to replace my devices every 2 years.
@@averagegamer9162Same i kept breaking the phones after 2 years, not 1 or 3 but always around 2 lol
@@averagegamer9162I did say it's a target. Back then I know nothing and bought 2 Samsung that's within my budget, both died due to water damages. I even borrowed an iPhone, it died in one drop.
Then I went for a budget Realme phone, it lasted. Rain & puddle, the things that killed my 2 Samsung didn't kill this phone. Drops? This phone dropped at least 15 times. Still alive since 2019. I'm still using it today and already saving my budget for the next Chinese phone. Xiaomi, Tecno, Vivo. I'm feeling like trying something different again.
This phone already has damaged volume button, cracked screen, speaker isn't high quality, and it's using Android 10. It's still usable, but it's time to update my phone for something with newer Android ver, better performance, camera & storage.
As a midrange user hat is waiting on the newest fold i have a reason to upgrade atleast every 2 years or less
Samsung got great trade in prices and apple outside of those two ueah no
Totally agree
Oga no watch video,but e don comment😂
Thanks for watching my chief. 🙌🏻
@@oscarmini Honestly I just recently bought the Galaxy S21 5G (Snapdragon 888) and it is an absolute monster, Call of Duty at highest graphics settings @ 60fps is child's play, It even supports medium graphics at 120fps on this device, battery life is a bit of a problem though so I would love to get the S21 plus next month so my life will be complete 😂😂. I love gadgets more than human beings
@@luisdiamwhat if he has watched it before it was even uploaded
@@Id_MAGE Bro I dont think so
My Logic
1. Sacrifice and buy a good midranger with fairly sized battery (e.g., 5000mAh) and good processor (e.g., Antutu 500,000+) and a camera that churns out some decent photos.
2. Don't update the OS. Just be contented with what it came with. No update will ever beat the performance of the stock version IMO.
3. Install only apps you need. Be conservative and avoid installing every app you encounter or hear about.
4. Master your device, let it not master you. Use it when needed. Don't drink up your productive time on your smartphone. If you have a computer, use it for more tasks that need more processing power than your smartphone can give.
5. Charge between 20% and 80%. Avoid cycling the battery from full to empty every time. Be conservative.
6. Always back up your data on an external hard drive or the cloud. Avoid filling up your smartphone with content you don't need. It will slow down.
7. Enjoy the damn thing for about five years and rinse and repeat.
Good luck! Am writing from a Huawei KII-L21 from 2015 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Am upgrading this year. This thing is quite tired and almost giving up its ghost.
I hope you upgrade Huawei MATE 70.
I would disagree with the 2nd point. Although Nothing might be an exception my NP1 is performing much better than it was 2 years ago. I just replaced the battery and will use it for a couple more years and will decide to either replace the battery or replace the phone. I have NFC for tap and pay on this phone and every other feature is already available so nothing can make me upgrade except just feeling like I want to
@@krishnaganesh7721 Yup upgrading OS is important, but better is to know what the content of upgrades are before upgrading.
Couldn't agree more. I just received the Galaxy AI update on my Z Fold 4. Again justifying my decision to not waste money on the Fold 5. Heck it even looks like the Fold 5. Unless you're like us reviewers cursed with the need to buy every new device, your phones can really last you at least 3 years.
I used my Galaxy Note 10 Plus for 3 years, and by the time I was letting go of it, I was satisfied by how much it served me. Still could've gone another year if I didn't like the S22 Ultra.
Solid video man🙌🏾
You've said it all, man. Thanks for watching 🙏
This guy has rich person problems
Boss 💪
Using a Galaxy Note 10 nowdays and would replace for another older flagship only when it stop working beyond any possibility of repair.
Flagships are becoming obsolete especially when midrangers now are more than powerful enough to last .
Lmao they're not
Flagships are equipped with the top of the line processors with hardware and software support to back that up. Mean while entry lvl to midrangers had either a good software or a good hardware there's little to no in between. Software support are mid at best too (only samsung has good software support for midrangers so far)
@LloydZyanRUy midrangers now are more than capable of handing anything you throw at them . All the extra features on flagships are gimmicky . Once a device has a decent processor and good cameras that's all most people need which one can get in alot midrangers. The gap between flagship and midrangers is no longer there
What midrange are you talking about @@CRAB..
@@CRAB.. I agree. There used to be a time when a flagship was worth it such as a Samsung galaxy s or iPhone 3 vs something like a blackberry or flipper but not really anymore.
S7 edge with 32GB base storage. Still rocking
i really love this era where people inevery specialization realize the vanity of this world and speak up against it. Ive seen videos about cars quality declining, food, travel, clothes, the digitine of course. there's a vibe of contestation that brewing and i cant wait for the lid to pop. thank you for this video. you are being part of the solution my friend! it's good to see. -- sent from my LG G6
Yes o, my A51 mid-range is 4 years now and still rocking. No need to waste funds
I'm using a Tecno Camon 12 from 2019 and I definitely need an upgrade😭 It has all the problems you mentioned and more.
Yeah, I totally agree because all the smartphone comparison videos don't show a significant upgrade just 5g or 5% cpu boost on geekbench on the budget side
My oldest smartphone is a tecno button phone still very strong. After 9 years, i only changed the battery once
I agree with you. I ever used a phone for 5years, Infinix specifically, and truly when it starts given me battery issues and camera malfunction then I changed it but before that, it was always enough.
Many Thanks, I have been using the Samsung Galaxy A71 since early 2020!! Still going strong!! 🙏🙏🙏
I have watched a number of your videos and I must say they very useful. I am considering getting a new device in week after using techno Camon 11 for 5 years
thank you for the honest review and advise, much appreciated. I only upgrade once the phone stops working (functioning). Previous phone was 1st iPhone SE i had it until much 2022. I was forced to buy current Phone Vivo Y52 5G it's been 2 years plus with it.
I had a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime that lasted me 9-10 years... then i had the Galaxy A20s that lasted 5 years.. currently own the Galaxy A34 i recently got in February and i love this phone. No problems and i plan on keeping it for years to come. The only 2 brands i ever owned in all my life was Samsung and Nokia.. all from Nokia 1100 and the Samsung J700i. So im good for a couple years to come
How much was it
how for 9-10 years though. I am using 6yr old xiaomi works quite well, camera quality isnt great though but doesnt fell laggy
A34 is perfect
I will use mine till 4 years
Once you go premium you'll look at your other devices like what was I thinking
My first premium phone was an s21 which I still have my second was the pixel 8
Both small powerful fast phones with great features and cameras
I still but budget phones as well just because I like phones and well they are more affordable
You're either a sorcerer or a bad liar. Firstly, what smartphone can withstand 10 continuous years of use? Secondly, how did you use a J5 prime for 10 years yet it didn't exist 10 years ago? Same goes for A20s, (which is also younger than 5 years) especially considering you replaced it with an A34?
Yeah, i totally agree with you. I used my phone for 3 years (tecno pova) and it still works fine after i changed the down board last week. Since it has a bigger battery than my current phone i use it for my podcasts, to read novels etc. My new phone is for calls 😊
On holidays I stay on pc and forget abt my phone and I am not preoccupied with its performance anymore . In conclusion the less you use your phone... The more you will use it
Thanks a lot for the info! God bless you!
Still rocking my Poco F3 since 2021. Recently cracked the back glass so I put a case. I still get decent battery life. I plan on keeping until the end of next year at least since I flashed a custom rom (android 14 unavailable on stock rom).
Agreed. Still using Samsung Galaxy Note 8 from 2018 (6 Yrs). So far, No problems with performance. But now recently battery is draining very quickly. Looking for an upgrade now.
With performance as it relates to use case ( which hardly changes, if at all ) you soon hit diminishing returns. Shouldn't surprise anyone that profit margins are higher on flagships, because thats where they can rip you off without anyone batting an eye. Even more so after they removed chargers from retail boxes
So apt ❤ realistic, wonderful and truthful video 👏
Thanks Joe,still using my Google Pixel 5 for about 3years now and it's still rock perfectly good cameras and battery life ❤ my next phone will be pixel 8 or 7a ❤
Thanks for the Tips, I've been using my Infinix Note 8 phone since 2021. The only issue I have is battery but apart from that, it's still in good condition.
I bought the pixel 7a a week after launch to use as my daily driver to replace my Samsung Note 8. The note is still in use though, at home for the dex connectivity to my TV. And it still lasted a day & a half on battery. I wanted a slightly smaller phone though & I didn't see the need for a flagship anymore either.
Hopefully, in a few years' time, in my case, probably 5+, foldables will be cheaper & screen tech will have advanced, as they are an interest.....
Great video and even greater advice 👌
Totally agree with this. Reason i still use my pixel 6 and refused to upgrade to pixel 7 and 8. If i dont see a huge difference with pixel 9 when it drops, ill continue with the 6
Yes that is my moto phones had charging issues from using the phone and charging at the same time.. So thanks for the reminder
I like this video, I want to see more Nigerian tech TH-camrs do something different, educate people on tech stuff or something that most people don’t know about the smartphones, 5g or tech around their home
I have a drawer with all my household’s previous electronics, from phones to tablets and even PCs. There were only 3 devices thrown away, an Xperia x10, s3 mini and old acer laptop
I still have my 2018 lgv40 and I'm only looking to upgrade now due to the change in Networks here in Oz in August. I've been told by my provider that my phone will no longer work on the network.
Still rocking my I phone 14 pro max I got when it first launched. Even though my battery health is at 81 percent, that part is disappointing, it’s still performing like a champ!
Yep. True you are. I bought my huawei p30 pro in 2019 and still rockin', very fast and no lag at all. No need to upgrade to huawei pura series. But I bought pink iphone 15 to compare with my p30 pro. Both are still rockin' in my opinion.
Thanks for the video brother ✊🏾
If you buy flagship phone on release you're good with it for at least 3 years, in many cases 5 years or more if you're still getting updates.
7 years 10 years.
If you play game 3 year max setting if not 7 year
Nice one brother,just watching on my iPhone 12,I don’t feel any need to upgrade
Thanks for watching Josiah. 🙏🏻
I like this subject. It’s too much commercialism these days that lures you to spend your money to ‘wants rather than needs. Thank you for your suggestion on keeping your present cp if it’s still functioning normally and for letting us realize the E-waste we produce whenever we change our cp.❤
Been using my phone since January 2019 and will be replacing the end of this year, mostly due to slow downs, battery issues, glitches and ghost touch but will probably upgrade the next after 7 more years
You moving up bro hope you get to a million subscribers you are a honest reviewer ❤
am curious. What do you do with reviewed phones on your channel? Do you auction them? Cause i am interested if u do auction them. I currently us my A10 for past 5years
Im still using my Huawei P30 which I bought in 2019 for 440 EUR.
It has not seen an Update since 2021 and still runs android 10. The battery still gets me through a whole day easily, which is the most impressive thing about this phone.
Ive got it for 5 years now and the battery is still good. Battery life decreased though because when I got the phone it lasted 2 days.
In terms of value for price its the best phone I ever had and as long as all my apps work and the battery does not fail I'll keep it.
I'm still using my Xiaomi Mi 9t bought in 2020. The battery life is still good. And also since I don't take a lot of pictures, upgrading now would just be pointless and wasteful. My main concern about this phone is the software/security updates. the last update of any kind was back in 2021. but i feel being vigilant matters more.
Used the infinix hot 4 lite for 4 years till it just did not come on anymore. I used the nokia 2.3 for 4 years plus and just sold it to someone last month. Change the battery just once. I got the samsung galaxy a23 just over 2 years ago and i plan to do 5 years. Never given me any issues and games smoothly at medium settings for me. Great device.
Yeah....I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy S9+, a 6 year old flagship but I had it for 5 years. What does that mean? Not only was it more affordable to get at the time the Galaxy S10 series was new, the hardware upgrades and features were minimum. Also, every time a new model is out, not only is it too expensive, there's gonna be bugs. So when my model phone at the time turned one year old, any glitches it had were solved with software updates and it performed better than it did as well as how it holds up compared to its successor.
While my phone does not get upgrades anymore, it still works well. I have no intention to upgrade anytime soon. I will keep using my Galaxy S9+ until it cannot perform as a phone anymore.
I still have my oneplus 7... Is it safe to continue using it knowing that it's not receiving any software updates? Apps like Norton security are they enough to protect outdated devices?
So Oscar Mini has a sense of humor, awwwn.
This is your most enjoyable video so far.
Do more like this.
I don't think you do watch his videos 😅
Thanks for watching Emmanuel.
I upgraded after 5 years 6 months. Used a mid range device before. Bought a mid range device again. I mean flagship or not we all are using it basically for the main purposes. Calling and texting which can be done anyway. If battery Life was never an issue i would never ever have upgraded
Thanks for this eye opening update. I've never been a new model frenzy though (Where's even the money🤷🏿♂️). My oldest device is a redmi 7a device and it's still very much in use, I use a redmi note 11 smartphone presently and I'm eyeing the redmi note 13 pro 5G.
Great talk, changing minds out here
Great video, I'm still with my 2019 Huawei Flagship till today, the phone serving more than I could imagine.
My next upgrade is Google Pixel in sha Allah 😊
Thank you for telling the needed truth at this point
This video made a lot of sense. You just told us the truth hardly shared by phone reviewers.
I've been using the Redmi note 10 pro max since April 2021 when it launched. It was all good at the beginning, but currently the major issue is overheating and battery degrading. But as for performance its still very ok.
Thank you very much for this video. I used a Samsung A21s for 3 years and 2 months I decided to upgrade because the latest version of android was 12 and couldn't have android 13 and 14.
Same. I really enjoyed my a21s but it doesn't have but 1 or 2 more security updates left and the new a35 I ordered has a much better camera setup for my needs. I think the a21s has been my favorite phone I have had and I owned many flagship galaxy s phones over the years. I will only buy midrange phones from now on as the difference between a midrange and flagship is barley noticable.
I am still using a Huawei Mate 10 lite from 2018 with a battery repacement an year ago. It still get the jobs done on everything except gaming/camera. So I purchased an LG v60 for that purpose. But My mate 10 lite is looking outdated and now i am thinking about an update.
This is so true brother!! My current phone working fine for 4 years. My purpose is simple main important thing is for Personal and work communications other than that my phone is still giving decent performance and battery life. So, flagships are overkill for my use. I can run with it till mid 2025 hopefully!!. Love from India
Oscar always know how to place his tenses and sentences. Nice vid man. But i have a year old tecno spark 9 pro. But galaxy a15 de hungry me. Should i upgrade?
Am waiting for A16 I wish it comes out soon
Another tip.
Clean the USBC port.
Cut a piece of plastic from an old water bottle or similar.
Fold in half and cut to a point.
Use it to run around the inside of the port.
Won't cause damage but getting rid of the fluff and dirt will prevent arcing on the pins.
(You can use a metal pick, but I think plastic is better if you don't know what you're doing)
.
If you have a spare phone, you can take a picture of the inside on high magnification to see any debris still in there.
When it's clean, wiggle the cable and check it stays connected, if not, new cable.
This was an excellent video. Thank you sir👍
Solid video. Thank you Sir.
Im still rocking my note 9. Had a new OEM battery installed, very happy.
True I have been using mine for over 2yesrs it has started showing some changes like u mentioned but no money to change device
still rocking a 2nd hand 11 Pro Max. I honestly don't see any need to change it unless it actually breaks. I have a Realme backup phone and even that thing works well enough for daily use. most mid range phones these days are really more than enough for basic usage.
makes sense.. still using my s10+ from 2019 and still performing really well.
The same here!
Still using my 2 s9's from 2018...but also got the s23 and s24 (got these dirt cheap with introductions deal @samsung) need to sell my s9 phones 😢
SOT?
Samsung S9, 6 years old bought second hand 3 years ago. Plan to upgrade this year.
Tecno pova. The first one. I think it came out on Dec, 2019. I bought it in early 2020. I used that ultra budget phone for 4 years. Even tho I no longer get android software update and security update. I was stuck I'm android 10 for the longest time. I skipped android 11, 12 and 13.
This is the best advice from someone who reviews new phones. Thanks a lot.
Rocking my Redmi note 9 pro from 2020. I plan on upgrading later this year
I'm still on a 3+ year old Pixel 4a and still don't feel the need to upgrade. It still works fine, so what's the pointing in upgrading then?
There are great bargains on discontinued phones, as there are more sellers than buyers. My phone with new warranty was just $50 U.S., and gets updates for three years.
Well said sir, thank you Morocco 🇲🇦
I have huawei y7 pro bought in 2021. It doesn't have, nor I know anything about battery life. I was planning to buy iphone but thanks to your channel ; I can hang around for 2 more years.
I have a Huawei Nova 7i which I bought in 2020 and still kicking strong. But I do not enjoy all the google services. it doesn't even run Android Auto, Play Store etc so I cant even hook it up to my car. Its like buying a Ferrari to use on bad roads. Its a strong phone but the experience is horrible. In my case, I need an upgrade. asap
@@nenemagbozo7744you forgot to check global and local version.
You just spoke me mind.
Are you doing a device give away ?
I dont agree man its getting each year better but its more for the people who have money , everything is about the money bro
Bought a 15 plus a week ago, won’t be upgrading till the iPhone 18 plus
I only change my phone every two years to save me headache on battery or other hardware issue and even that, I only stick with midrange phones, the ones I could easily factory reset & sell without headache.
I've got a Huawei P30 Pro it's 4.5 years old but the battery and charger plug are a bit faulty. It's time for a new fone but to get similar spec I'm looking at s24 ultra and other suggestions as this is about £1k just for the fone here in England.
U re right my brother
Am still using my tecno pauiour 2pro
No be say I no Wan change am, I never see food chop, how I Wan change phone
It's well
All the plenty devices u dey test
Dash me the least one na
The only probably mine has from everything you said is that the last security patch it got was in March 2023.
Great content. Subscribed.😄
I Neva see this kind Quality for African TH-camrs, you are doing Good brother!!! 🔥
Buy a low mid to mid tier Samsung A3x /A5x series. Get security patches up to 5 years and OS update up to 4 times..
and based on my experience with phones that only get support for their 1st two years last time. You can use it for another additional 3 years even without the security patches.. just don't install anything dubious.
Facts 👌🏼 ukweli kabisa
I have a pixel 6a had it for 2 years still love it won't get a new phone till i don't get anymore android updates.
This is one of the sober minds I've met online. In fact, just be sure of the company you purchase from. I mean, the trusted mobile companies and buy it once and relax. I just changed my Huawei this year after 6 years and still I have it. I did this to get more stuffs that couldn't be found in it plus the battery was now out of service
Today, people have completely forgotten what a smartphone really is and what purposes it has been created for. Everybody wants to get the newest and most expensive smartphone just not to look obsolete and for all those fancy reasons... I'm sad and disappointed just by thinking about the fact that smartphones today are no longer the useful everyday tool they used to be, but just a mere wealthy- and fashion-looking tool...😞
The only phone you should purchase is one that's regularly receiving software and security updates.
When the phone no longer receives security updates then upgrade.
Sually this info. does make sense. It, ll really help also in future. We, ll try to keep in mind tho it's really tempting not to upgrade especially if u, ve the cash. From 🇰🇪
Thanks for watching Sam.
As someone who never breaks a phone hardware wise, I upgrade after the security updates and support ended, so maybe around every five years. So by the time I needed to upgrade I'm pretty sure that I already saved enough for a new one.
I quite agree with you..If a phone can give me all I want in a phone I don't mind using it for a long period of time. I used Gionee M5 from 2015 to 2020 and current phone HUAWEI Y7P from 2020 till date..
You must be quite good with devices. How's the Huawei holding up 4 years later?
@OscarMini where can I buy Google pixel 7 cheap as a Nigerian
The actual "new" and "old" definitions have changed really. I was using S8+ until previous month shifted to S23 was happy with my previous device but it was really broken way torn out(yah my handling of device sucks , it fell from my pocket 2-3 times while riding bike) and was lagging from the past year maybe cause I was seeing others new devices. The S23 is a Beast🔥
I used my Note 10 Plus for 4 years before upgrading 5 months ago to the S23 Ultra. I also still have a4 year old iPhone 11 Pro Max that I intend to use until the iPhone 17 Pro Max comes out. Cessation of security patches is more relevant to my Samsung phones since I tend to use them for my finances.
You really spoke sense...❤
Making money 💰 nowadays is not at ease, so rushing for new devices is putting pressure on the individuals. It's good to keep it well till it's completely damaged. 🇬🇭
What's the name of your font?
My Tecno camon 19pro Mondrian edition, the battery doesn't last any longer does it mean I need to upgrade it or change it to another device,but is still working fine dou just the battery
Try replacing the battery
I got an Samsung a15 4g two days ago, don't think i will be upgrading anytime soon with the 4 years major and 1 year security updates after that...
Good decision 😊
