For me the fact that quite a few of the mid-ranger and budget (or entry level) devices include a case and a screen protector is excellent! It’s good value for the money you are spending and it precludes the customer from having to buy them separately, unless you want a different/specific type or style of case and an extra screen protector to keep as a readily available replacement. I’ve seen some devices, like the Moto G50 (for which daddy Tech just posted a review) come with the case and screen protector already installed…that is freaking awesome! That saves me the time and hassle of having to do that and it means that all I got to do is set up the device and use it! I see a lot of people being quite dismissive about this and even looking down on these add-ons…and I’m kinda miffed about it…especially when I think about so-called really pricey flagship devices who offer nothing besides the device. Think of Apple (and Samsung as well) and the fact that considering the pricing on their devices…the Apple iPhone retail case comes rather barren and empty. If a manufacturer includes headphones, a charger, case and screen protector with the device…I call that a good deal!
@@JedBullet It's at least something. Look how some manufacturers now only give you the device and nothing else. Any and all accessories are omitted and you have to buy them extra. They always cite reasons like "protecting the environment" or being "eco friendly". To me that is bull. It's just an excuse to be cheap. If you pay over a thousand dollars for a device and you get no extra goodies included...well that is just pure highway robbery...
It seemed to me, as I searched around to find a reasonable 5G replacement for my reliable old Huawei P40, that there seemed to be a definite line between an AMOLED screen and a proper audio jack. Personally I would have liked both but it seems that nobody if making a phone that has both. I eventually settled on the Oppo, mostly because I work with Samsungs and find them to be temperamental and since Drumpf and his cronies have shut off Huawei from making anything decent (yes, it also means that yet again, mostly down to the app developers insisting on promoting the Google Play Store lock-in) and ZTE is out of the question and having had a Realme that was a total shitshow when it came to supporting a hotspot (I use it for work - never had any trouble with any of my Huawei/Honor phones going right back to my Ascend G330!) I was stuck with a small subset of phones. I picked the A74. Actually this review seemed to be the most negative about it, though even then it was mostly to do with the camera setup, the part of the phone that I rarely ever use (it's a phone after all!) I'm writing this after getting the thing set up (the clone program refused to work). I hope I'm not going to be proven wrong again like I was with the Realme but I'm keeping my P40 handy just in case!
Oh dear ,just broke my oppo find x2 pro 🤮 been out and bought this phone whilst waiting for my replacement, the thing is this damn thing is nearly as quick on 5G 😄no idea why screen and camera obviously not as good but for 230 quid I'm well pleased 👌
Hi Uncle Spurt, It does not go unnoticed how often you still recommend the Xiaomi Redmi note 10 pro. In fact I ordered one on the recommendation! Loved it but it didn't work as a Phone! I know shocking right! Does everything brilliantly but then every time I got a call the absolutely awful Proximity Sensor cuts out and puts callers on Hold or Cuts them off! Alas it was returned and I wondered if there was a Mobile Phone that you or one of your merry band of followers would recommend as a Phone! Just so I can call people and take calls, not a lot to bloody ask from a Mobile Blower really! Cheers! Love you!
Hello mate ! I've had the same problem using the budget Xiaomi phones for years ! All i can say is that mostly the problem is solved Via software updates now weather the fixing update take long or not I don't know 😜 if you can't wait then better go for the Samsung A52
@@issamlfc92 Hi, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was starting to think I was affecting it in some way. I contacted the users forum on "Mi Community" and just got a load of "Well never happened to me" Maybe the Samsung is the way to go but a shame about the Note 10 Pro!
@@ayushbhauwala Hi, yes I have watched that this morning! Again it is just confirmation that its an issue! I have heard many time that it will be fixed with an update, but when? Just shocked that a Mobile Phone's most important function seems to have issues, but it is regarded as one of the best in the marketplace.
@@chrismaryon9082 had it in my Poco F1- Redmi note 8 pro- Poco x3 nfc ! They're all fine now 😜😜. what I'm certain of is that the issue will be fixed for sure it's only a matter of time to receive the correcting update so if you really like the device then better wait for it
Something that needs to be mentioned is that there is no message notification light, which means you cannot simply glance at your phone to check for missed messages. You have to tap the screen periodically to check for messages that you may not have heard coming through. A huge oversight in an age when messaging takes priority over calls.
I've been lurking around Mi11 lite reviews coz I was in my final decision process of buying it, but then I stumbled upon a forum of angry android users because they said that the MIUI is so bad and has many issues, I guess I gotta stick with the brand of my good old phone Oppo A83 which was a grad gift from my mother wayback in college.

Great review like usual! Thanks to your coverage of the A74 5G and A54 5G, I actually bought the 54 today! Really fast and good future proofing! Thanks for the top quality content!
Please mention where you get the wallpapers or you can give us the wallpaper in the description for every video. Plus I love your content. Wish you success.
I'm absolutely gutted. I ordered an A74 5G last week on the strength of this video and today, an A74 4G incorrectly arrived. I noticed that the hardware spec didn't match up to the 5G version.
@@wrathpsp The 5G element is hardly noticeable and I have it turned off more often than not to preserve battery. So with hindsight, I could have stuck with the 4g version.
It's beyond my skills as an average person to be able to tell the difference between one rectangle with rounded corners from another at a distance of more than one foot How a person can look at these extremely boring rectangles and is then able to discern that one is more "beautiful" than the next is utter bullshite. "Oh, look." one connoisseur gushes after keenly observing, "This one has a deeper black back than the other. It's to die for." On top of that.

I'm looking for my next phone I got an Oppo A73 and I've had it for 3 1/2 years only now it let me down as ear ph jack cuts out and the internal speaker has died the natural upgrade would be an Oppo A74 but the thing I didn't like was the camera and color os as I use the go launcher have done since day 1 i'm, not a phone junky so I don't know what's good or bad in this budget phone market, is there something better without color os with a better camera? but I never had anything in the A73 go wrong I'm not into buying the latest phone as soon as there's a new model I don't game on them but I use the fm radio on it and watch quite a few movies a week as im in a wheelchair so spend a lot of time waiting for doctors but the camera was a bit ordinary and the battery still lasts ages on it I want a half-decent camera just in case UFO lands in front of me 😵
I ended up getting a Samsung A22 5g as I got a really good price less than 1/2 someone had it was still in its plastic wrapper 128Gb and has FM radio on it seems very fast but hope it lasts as long as my oppo
