Remove 2nd and retry

You mean remove the second SIM card and retry??
But the result is the same for me ...

This xs max dual sim network reception is quite weak. Been roaming in thai and seems my secondary digi roaming always 1 or 2 bar only.
Anybody have similar issue ?

Most of the wireless powerbank is with 1a output... and getting hot while wireless charging

Yours is with eSIM or dual physical SIM?

Mine is dual sim hk set .

I have the same HK iPhone XR, and have gone dual sim in Singapore and Brunei thus far and signal strength is OK for my local SIM on roaming. Will try in Indonesia next week but haven't had a chance to try in Thailand yet. Could it be the network partner's issue?

S10 has higher res

Screen resolution and processor are also key factors in battery life. Mid range Android phones with huge batteries these days tend to last longer than flagship models because midrange processors consumes less power at the expense of tip top performance. But those things don't really matter to the average folk who don't game or use any resource intensive apps on their phones.

As for AMOLED vs LCD, it's not that AMOLED is more efficient, it's that AMOLED is capable of true black meaning individual pixels can turn off when not in use thus saving battery, unlike LCD in which the backlight must turn on when screen is on, even to display blacks. So unless you are always using your AMOLED with true black background in wallpaper, settings, apps etc., it's not much different from LCD. In fact, it might even consume more because AMOLED these days are generally brighter than LCD. Hence why XR is a battery beast.

Speaking of battery life, anyone used Huawei mate series? The battery can really last!

Yup, having used the iPhone X, XS Max, XR and currently trying the S10+ now, I can definitely vouch for that!

Wow why so many phone? Give 1 to me jkjk

X already sold, XS Max already became my wife’s property, now deciding to keep either the XR or S10+

XR for casual,S10+ for taking photos

this

i find it really sad that manufacturers keep prioritising screen resolution but actually what everyone wants is long battery life.

>introduce OLED panels, with screen tech that are able to turn off individual pixels for lower power consumption
>brings in high ass resolution that drains battery more :x

like, imagine having a XR level resolution with 4000mah battery capacity. we could actually have devices that can last days for once since the smartphone era. it doenst help that why do people think higher ppi is useful, its kinda pointless on a device where once you hold beyond 1 feet, theyre the same

another gripe with apple nowadays is how come they will not put bigger capacity batteries inside. physical size wise the batteries in androids with bigger cap are almost similar to the XS/Max/XR. so how come?

with how efficient A12 is, we could be seeing a huge selling point for Apple customers

just like Apple not putting higher RAM or ROM everything smaller and just enough will be cost saving haha

Too expensive to hold on to both while their value depreciate, bro

Exactly. If Apple had placed a 4000mAh battery in the XR it'll easily be the gold standard in battery life - of course, not counting that crazy 18,000mAh battery Energizer brick of a phone.

This was my XR back last month, doing slightly over 4 hours SOT on 20 hours of standby with another 50% juice remaining.

Here's my S10+ yesterday, also 20 hours on standby and 50% battery remaining - that's slightly under 4 hours SOT.



I'm all for not having more RAM than necessary but the smaller ROM and cut throat storage upgrades is just Apple being greedy

think of it this way instead lol, imagine apple charges you RM5k for an XS but with battery life of confirmed 3 days. wouldnt you be like "TAKE MY MONEY"

hell, i would!

im very impressed too, its no magic nor trickery its just common sense. ditch the high reso that does nothing and use an extremely efficient SoC + great power management.

i start my day with 90-95% battery at 8am and ends at 8pm with 56% with average usage of 4hours+, thats incredible

everyone used to diss apple for putting in low cap batteries in iPhones and that we are paying more for less. but what they didnt notice is the amazing work Apple did where even a low cap battery is able to challenge the behemoth batteries of androids!

Right, which is why I cringe when I watch those YouTube videos comparing battery life by looping videos, apps and games continuously. That’s just not how us normal people use our phones. Standby drain is also a big part of battery performance and in that respect, Apple still holds an edge over their Android counterparts.

That probably gives them the excuse to keep putting smaller size batteries in our iPhones, which I don’t approve of either

no respond

thats slow
