TheScarf Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I'm in the market for a new phone, and the unnerving, raging hard on's all reviewers have for the camera quality is something I hate. Maybe it's just me, but the main things for me on any phone are battery life and reliability, you know, apps being stable and fast responding. If I want to take amazing photos (I don't) I'll buy a decent camera. I get it, a phone lets you have an all encompassing piece of kit that's a camera, a laptop effectively, and a telephone. But the time and effort in these review videos dedicated to the camera is way OTT. Even the mainstream reviewers take up about 70% of their videos reviewing the cameras. The photos they take never look that impressive, they always compare the camera to other phones and again, they all look the same. They're all just HD photos. The average phone user doesn't spend all day in the countryside taking pictures of trees and mountains. They're texting or tweeting or calling, switching to different apps constantly, so need a fast, reliable OS and a good battery. That's what really matters in a phone IMO, and what should be the main focus of these reviews. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife coming in at the tail end of my largely successful clean up, turning into a Tasmanian fucking devil and turning my calm process into a whining rabble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos on my phone comprise pictures of my electricity and gas meter readings, my car tyre sizes and recommended pressures and the odd screen shot of my bank balance. I suspect that most smart phones are roughly on a par for performance and battery life, with the higher cost ones only being distinguishable by their camera performance, so that’s why reviewers focus so much on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you, I couldn't really give a f**k about all the gadgets, I just don't want to be charging the thing all the time. I went in to the shop and said the same to the boy and he said Motorola's battery is excellent and charges quickly as well. I've seen it be at 30% at night and I haven't bothered to charge it and it's still fine the next day. Whereas with my old IPhone I had to charge it every single night and some days it wouldn't make it to night. The phones themselves are cheap on contracts as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a OnePlus 5T 3 years ago, it's the first phone I've found still performs well enough that I wanted to keep it at the end of my 2 year contracts (had an iPhone and a load of Samsungs previously). I have no intention of changing it any time soon, and when I eventually do I'll probably be going with another OnePlus. Would definitely recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 @TheScarf, Huawei are your friend. If you're not that bothered by a plethora of apps being unavailable a new one will be great. If you are, get the mate20 Pro. I regret taking this upgrade and selling that. It should have been the other way around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect but as far as I can see she's a run of the mill broadcast journalist, have I missed some significant written body of work she has produced? The usual thing- give something like this to a celebrity and you get a bit of kudos for your organisation. It has to be the right celebrity of course. I mean you wouldn't hand out an FRSE to, say, Gazza. Wark is a safe in that she's a) Scottish b) fairly clever and c) probably votes the same as the Royal Society of Edinburgh's members. I have the same thoughts as yours above every New Years/Birthday honours e.g. why has Wayne Wayne of English FC got an OBE for Services to Football when he's a millionaire and has never had to pick dugshite and junkies needies off a blaze pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
