Even Apple original products are well known for short life and poor reliability
I never use them and only 3rd party
Baseus is a well established brand

yeah. Maxis is the best.

Celcom I can accept also, cannot fight with Maxis but still ok. Unifi Mobile the LTE speed is quite good also.

The rest I totally never consider.
*
Such depends on your location
What is good for you doesn't mean is similar to others
In my area I rate Celcom is best follow by Digi than Maxis and u mobile. I am currently using all except u mobile

guys. just wanna ask. if an iphone is required to get a turbosim in order to function in malaysia. is it safe buying? and it has 1 year apple store warranty of course but its turbosim. you guys can check out www.mwc.com

just wondering if its safe. i scare data leak or something then gg hahaha
*
I will not buy
Consider the hassle need to reset phone with the turbo sim on each update n reset
Are you sure warranty is applicable here - don't believe seller words

yup me too. but currently my note 9 performed below my expectation. :/

In what way is it below expectation? Battery life? Seriously not much poorer vs my Xs max
XR I read has much better battery life vs XS Max

yes its true uncle benny. Im by no mean trying to put a bad  name on samsung. no matter how i use my phone, with wifi whole day im definitely satisfied, 6 hours SOT i would say but with mobile data on (3g instead of 4g because umobile's coverage at my area only provide 2 bars for 4g), i only manage to 4 or 5 which its enough for me but when i saw uncle benny's post about getting 6 to 7 sot per day with AOD and 4g on the whole day, im getting 2nd thoughts about my phone. 😭

and this is my screnshot from the app aida64 to check my "real capacity" of the phone and it says 3753mah.

but im still satisfied with it just not really with the battery life. maybe i should stop comparing hahaha
*
Probably is your weak data signal
Infact few N9 users even reporting up to 10 hours SOT ( check recent posting)
I am happy with current 7 to 8 hours. BTW the N9 is my main phone while the iPhone remains as secondary

Possibly hardware issue - why don’t you send in to service centre to check?

Am now testing XR - don't see any significant differences with XsMax. Worthwhile buy vs XsMax
Only grouse , during call the speaker isnt as strong ? Could this be a hardware issue??

dont mean to offend but have you tried pressing the volume up DURING a call to increase volume. cos iphone volume differs from the ringtone and call and even bluetooth volume. everytime i setup  a new iphone. ill need to increase volume 3 times, 1 for ringtone, 1 during a call, and 1 more time when i connect to bluetooth

Yes of course

My previous grouse about the XR weak earpiece seems not an issue anymore. Probably that first day it could be caller phone's problem
I noted the phone does get very hot on Waze with charging at same time. Slight burning feel on palm. Tested it for 2 hours on drive. I must say is the hottest I had encountered to date Vs my other phones
On XsMax not really aware of the heat as hardly exceed half hour on test

Is it me but after updating to iOS 12.1.3 I have this problem “refresh” icon on my Facebook and Instagram whenever I am on data. My network is Digi. I’ve tried restarting my phone several times, turning on and off Airplane mode and the problem still persists. I even tried reinstalling both apps, still the same. Still contemplating whether to resetting network will help as only these two apps that has problem, the rest are fine.

Wondering if anyone else has this problem?
*
On digi too - no such problems at all
Resetting network doesnt delete any app - just do it

Main reasons why fresh grads is in high debt within months of work. Personally buying any stuffs below rm10k should not consider any installment. Best is to save up for it
During my time (80's) cars needed 30% down payment and interest rate was a massive 11% versus now many local makes zero down payment and 2 to 3% interest. This had caused high debt for fresh grads. I rode a bike for 2 years before buying first car. A handphone than cost rm6k+ and company supplied car phone costing rm13k . These days too many gadgets in less than rm4k range attracting consumers

Definitely not. The esim will ok overwrite your previous simcard. You would need a new SIM if you decide to switch back to normal sim
