The iPhone SE is one of the best phones of this year. It literally performs better than most of these other bigger phones on here! Lol.
ReplyTRiL - posted on January 5, 2017 11:22 pm
Taylor Muse that’s nice. You can get a Oneplus 3t for the same price and it DEMOLISHES the iPhone SE. Apple has 5 year old hardware in every device they make, the only thing Apple should ever be commended on is amazing optimization, and making good looking items. If they had hardware equivalent to the Oneplus 3t and they had their amazing optimization, Apple would rule the world. They choose to be lazy and cheap and make their customers overpay for everything. You obviously don’t have money to blow or you like small phones, otherwise you wouldn’t be rooting for Apple or their iPhone SE (the most reasonably priced Apple device in the history of the universe).

And yes, I still choose to use my iPhone SE over the 7 because it’s just easier to use.

I think he’s better off this way. He’s completely thorough and he’s one of the only YouTubers you can actually turn to when you’re buying a phone, my other favourite being MobileTechReviews. Like Kisuke said, not many people actually want quality reviews, they just to think they’ve been taught something when they haven’t. Mike’s videos are always so good, though. He does _deserve_ more subs, but I don’t think he needs it!

Anyone remember back when the iPhone 5s and Galaxy s5 were the only 2 flagships with fingerprint scanners?
ReplySnoop Doge - posted on December 30, 2016 12:44 am
first phone ever with a fingerprint was the Motorola Atrix back in 2011

I’m still using the S5 since the end of 2014, tried the fingerprint scanner for a day, have never used it again till’ this day. It’s there just for the sake of being there to compete with the iPhone 5s, and it failed miserably.

+AntiDepressantBleach Concentrated Clorox Bleach remember the heartbeat thing? and the sport version of that one phone? apple kinda sits around and waits for something to get popular then they do their own version while companies such as samsung and lg do all the real pioneering with features that people may not use at first but they can do trial and error because they can afford to make some mistakes

I hand it to the S7 Edge, best camera of all, water resistant, graphics, VR, Fast, the edge panel, just one powerful phone.
ReplyTRiL - posted on January 5, 2017 11:18 pm
I made dis account 2 comment I dont Need no subs I have the be, I have used it once. I got the phone 7 days before the release and I quickly noticed that the phone had poor RAM management. The phone did not perform as well as it should have. It overheats VERY quickly. I am switching it for a Oneplus 3t, whether that is a good choice or not, I will find out. But I haven’t heard anything bad about the Oneplus 3t and I have dug deeper on them then I did with the S7. It doesn’t take much digging to find dozens of people with the same issues as me. The screen on my s7 also scratches easier than it should, maybe they missed/messed up the anti scratch coating on my screen, but again, hundreds of other people are having the same issues as me. This year made Samsung look kind of like they are loosing their grip. The note 7 explodes among many other note 7 issues like software, the s7 has many minor issues, and probably more issues that weren’t as common. Samsung didn’t produce the polished perfect phones that they normally do, they made cool innovations, but at the sacrifice of other things. I am switching to Oneplus for now, if I’m more disappointed there and hear that Samsung is doing well again, I will probably switch back. Hopefully you don’t have the issues that I did with my S7.
ReplyEdmond Marquier - posted on January 7, 2017 12:32 pm
Samsung is a solid company giving their buyers what they paid for, but the prices should drop a 100 or so cuz 700+ is just too much around 600-500 is way more affordable.

+jetman24 You think people buy phones to customize and play with it? Lmao. The general consumers look for overall experience of owning a smartphone, at both software and hardware. Android flagships have good hardware but most fall short on both software and hardware support side. Good luck getting software updates on day one if you don’t own a Pixel. Even that phone only gets guaranteed software for 2 years.

+rao App loading times are faster on the S7 than on the Pixel? Lmao. Go watch PhoneBuff’s speed test video and see the S7 getting destroyed by the Pixel and budget smartphones like OnePlus 3. Don’t even start talking about the 3T, that phone smokes any Samsung phone currently out. TouchWiz has too many useless bloats you can’t uninstall unless you root the phone. Oh and Samsung’s RAM management is still downright trash.
