    It's because of this. Numbers are being inflated artificially.

    Apple Wonderlust 2023 (12th Sept'23)

    Definitely not the best battery life. A budget/mid-ranger with a power efficient SoC combined with a low-res display, will blow the flagships out of the water. For me, the primary reason why I would want to spend 1.5L on a smartphone would be longer upgrade cycle. Since these are highly...

    Apple Wonderlust 2023 (12th Sept'23)

    Well, look on the bright side: when Apple will come out with their foldables, the Indian pricing will be easier to guess.

    20-25K Need a decent mobile for smooth experience

    I think it is well-documented at this point that the earlier Samsung M series phones were plagued with multiple issues, especially the ones released circa 2020-21/22. There have been multiple reports in the Samsung community forums about motherboard failures, device slowdowns, etc. Might be...

    Are cooling pads for gaming laptops really helpful ?

    Laptop cooling pads are scams. Instead, invest in a good stand that can vertically alleviate your laptop properly, because that is all you need to improve the airflow.

    Other Precautions when submitting phone to the service center for repair

    I might be going on a different tangent here, but contrary to popular beliefs, Nokia phones always had shit-tier build quality. Two of my previous Nokia phones (6080 and Lumia 630) developed SIM slot issues out of the blue, while the other (5233) fell apart within 3 years of usage. And this...

    10-15K 12-16k Decent mid-range for everyday use

    I see. Not sure how I missed that. But, like I said, the RAM/ROM shouldn't affect the thermals, especially when both models exceed the basic tiers.

    10-15K 12-16k Decent mid-range for everyday use

    Having played both games quite extensively, I can confirm that BGMI/PUBG Mobile is more taxing on your smartphone than COD Mobile. And the amount of RAM/ROM in a smartphone shouldn't affect the thermals. Having said that, they were using the 6/128 version of the Poco M6 Pro, so I'm hoping that...

    10-15K 12-16k Decent mid-range for everyday use

    I usually notice temperature differences between phones (with similar class SoCs) within 2-3 degrees buffer. Have rarely seen a 5-degree difference, unless the model has terrible thermal efficiency (cannot remember one in recent times). What's more surprising in this case is that the exact...

    10-15K 12-16k Decent mid-range for everyday use

    That was my primary impressions as well, until Gadget Byte dropped their review of the Poco M6 Pro. Source: Gadget Byte

    10-15K 12-16k Decent mid-range for everyday use

    Just get the Redmi 12 5G (6/128). It ticks all of your boxes and probably the best budget phone currently on the market. Great battery life, great performance, and stellar build. The only thing you have to compromise is the camera; but, as per your preferences, that shouldn't be an issue...

    Delta Force: Hawk Ops

    Have zero expectations from the game, since it will most likely be a sub-standard product or will be riddled with microtransactions. No prizes for guessing why - no one but Tencent is behind the making of this game. And the studio developing the title has only experience with mobile games that...

    Good value thermal paste.

    To be honest, my argument wasn't about Arctic and its products. It was about Arctic and their shit reasoning/explanation on why they don't give importance to conductivity numbers for their thermal pastes, while throwing shade at other manufacturers, as if Thermal Grizzly, Cooler Master, or any...

    Good value thermal paste.

    Reliability is measured by results and the thermal performance of Kryonaut or the Master Gel Maker perfectly proves that conductivity ratings exist. It's the same reason why Noctua fans state airflow in their own measured units and not conforming to the industry standard that is CFM (used by...

    Good value thermal paste.

    When buying any thermal paste, always look at the conductivity ratings. Higher the conductivity, better will be its thermal performance. As of today, the only two thermal pastes that I could suggest are the Cooler Master Master Gel Maker and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Master Gel Maker has a...

    Football?

    Feels goods to see the Bayern hierarchy crumbling slowly and steadily. They just spent more than 100 million pounds on a striker, without bolstering other areas of the team. And that too for a manager who looks absolutely clueless on the first match of the season.
