QUOTE(erik8lyt @ Sep 15 2025, 01:42 PM) I sprayed screen cleaner on my Vivo V9 screen and wiped it with a microfiber cloth. The next day, it started showing a ghost effect, then vertical lines, and eventually change its color. Which one should i choose: sending it to a technician for repair or buying a new Redmi Note 14 5G (within my budget)? I'm worried the technician might do something suspicious to my Vivo V9 during repair. I also can't use CIMB OCTO because my Vivo V9 doesn't support Android 10 and above. Should i switch to another bank like Maybank without buying new phone? Just buy a European brand HMD Fusion. RM850 with 50MB selfie cam n 108MB main camera with Android One 15.

QUOTE(heinlein @ Sep 15 2025, 01:55 PM) It's time to get iphone 17 Ewww. Looks exactly the sake except for the roundish camera box. Still considering to upgrade for RM520 or not. The rest compajy subsidize. Currently my banking app phone is Aifon 15.. Up for upgrade in Jan. Might get one just to sell it off at much lower level rice to one of my brothers.

QUOTE(HumanExtinction @ Sep 15 2025, 02:44 PM) for me sure upgrade, its the best value iphone currently. of coz if u dont care all of that then no point. 120hz display, bigger 6.3inch display, cameras (if u care), faster a19 vs a16, AI (its garbage rn), better battery life, at least 6-7 years of os update The specs are meaningless to me. The iPhone 15 never go outside of je house. It's just sitting in the house I only turn on to approve payments I check if got is update if got I install. It has two bank apps, insurance apps, EPF edge browser app. It dies not even have WhatsApp. I changed to iPhone 15 from 1iphone 7. Cuz Maybank app no longer support the OS. Yupe I don't use app for payment outside of the house. Only credit card. Debit card also payment disabled. |

QUOTE(heinlein @ Sep 15 2025, 10:00 PM) Nokia still exist meh? Your phone so rare breed leh. Almost nv see Nokia outlet thought no more ady. Iphone use as main not good meh? Unker at opik see 2 youngster use 14 and 15 max pro. Another colleague dunno use wat version iphone. He give me troubleshoot, unker say me poorfag nv use before leh how troubleshoot Cannot lah aifon. Everything cannot do. I need freedom on my phone. Aifon extremely restricted n the least productive phone. You just go count how many clicks just to faking delete one SMS! Wtf! HMD was producing Nokia phones for almost ten years. Now people know them, they are producing phones under their own brand. HMD human mobility devices is from Finland also. They had one XR Nokia phone made in Europe, Romania to be exact. My hmd phones look like this. Total n utter freedom!

QUOTE(erik8lyt @ Sep 15 2025, 10:06 PM) If you want a pure Android phone, isnβt a Google Pixel good for that? Redmi Note 15 has a curved screen and i donβt like it. I think I'll choose to replace my Vivo V9 screen since it's still usable. Google already faked up that pixel brand so bad I am not going to be near that phone. You go n check their earlier mideks of pixel. Proved that the are a software company n did not n do not know how to make hardware. |

QUOTE(atilla @ Sep 16 2025, 12:17 PM) Xiaomi/Redmi has global rom which is not the same as the Chinese rom version sold inside China. The global rom version doesn't come with Chinese apps (or alot less of them) and google play is standard. Is it running Android or their own forked android just likehuaeei Color or Samsung's One UI? |
