Greetings!
Is it only me who has never seen a good review about iPhone aside from the camera quality? I come from, and still live in, a world where Android phones are picked as the best compared to any other type, and it's very funny because the guys I relate with, who even have iPhones, would end up giving a better and sweeter review to Android phones than to iPhones. Yes, they have iPhones, and the reason is basically for the camera and nothing else.
I've been into online hustling for a long time, and most of the activities in the hustle require Android systems to pass through. Apart from that, the battery in Android tends to be more sustainable compared to iPhones.
Why am I comparing iPhones and Androids instead of going on to write about my type of phone?
It's basically to amuse anyone reading this and to ensure no one attacks my space when I start telling you about my kind of phone. Lol.
If I'm buying a phone today, it's definitely going to be an Android, and it must be a Xiaomi product. If not the Mi spec, then it's going to be a Redmi spec.
Before late last year, I was still cruising with one of my most-loved phones, mostly because of its affordability, and that’s the infinix phone. But when I needed an upgrade to a better one in terms of space, processor, battery and camera, I had to switch to this Xiaomi product. That's when I bought the Redmi Note 12S, and ever since then, I've been feeling good using it, especially with the hype I give to it, which gives me satisfaction, making other phones, including iPhones with the best cameras, look less appealing compared to mine. Yes, the last time I visited home for an event, my camera overshadowed my sibling's iPhone, and they ended up using my phone for photography instead of their iPhone. Sounds like mere hype, but that's exactly what happened.
As it concerns me at the moment, the first thing I considered when buying this particular phone was the RAM storage space. I suffered a lot with my previous phone, which had just 2GB of RAM, and after that, I vowed never to be seen in such a condition again. The phone I'm currently using has 8GB of RAM, and it's working very well without issues. If I'm buying a phone this year or in the years to come, it's definitely going to be a phone with even larger RAM storage than this one. You know, as we continue living, technology is advancing, and things that once looked big will become small. I remember when I bought the phone with 2GB of RAM, there weren’t many demands for space because apps were fewer in both quantity and quality. But after using it for two years, I saw that technological advancements had happened in a big way.
Battery life is another thing I consider because I'm a heavy user, and I can't be seen constantly crying for battery life, especially given the fact that we don't get to see electricity often in the area I live. This is why I can't even go for an iPhone—their battery is not always as strong compared to Androids.
The phone I'm using currently has a 5000mAh battery, and if I'm going for a new phone, I can't go for the same battery capacity. No, it must be higher—say, 6000mAh or more.
Talking about the camera, although I don't get involved with snapping as much as I used to in those days, I would still like to go for a phone that has a good camera as well—one that I could be able to compare with that of iPhone users.
When I bought this phone, it was among the cheapest range of phones in the series with a high MP count, which is 108. There was already a 200MP option, though, which was a pro model of this same phone type, but the price was too high, so I decided to settle for this one. And I feel good—no regrets at all—because it’s serving me well.
But when I go for a new phone, the camera must surely be 200MP or higher!
Thanks for reading.
