**Switching from Android to iPhone: A Lifelong User's Experience**

As a lifelong Android user, switching to an iPhone was a daunting task for me. I had always been loyal to my Android devices, but after trying out the iPhone 13 Pro, I found myself drawn to its sleek design and user-friendly interface. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. One of the things that took some getting used to was the SMS app. On my Android phone, I had grown accustomed to using SMS Organizer, which offered features like group conversations and quick replies. In contrast, the iPhone's default SMS app just didn't compare.

Another area where I found myself struggling was with Truecaller, a popular call-blocking app that I used extensively on my Android phone. Unfortunately, it didn't work as seamlessly on my iPhone 13 Pro. The app would sometimes fail to identify blocked numbers or even crash altogether. This was frustrating, especially when I needed to quickly block unwanted calls.

Despite these minor frustrations, I found that battery life on the iPhone 13 Pro was significantly better than on my Android flagships. This made a huge difference for me, as I often find myself on the go and need a device that can keep up with my busy schedule. However, there were still some apps that performed better on my Android phone. For example, Instagram seemed to work more smoothly on my iPhone.

**Living with an iPhone: Pros and Cons**

After trying out the iPhone 13 Pro for several weeks, I realized that it was definitely possible to live with one. In fact, I found myself enjoying many aspects of the iPhone experience. The device's camera was top-notch, and the display was bright and vibrant. However, there were still some areas where my Android phone excelled.

One area where I felt the iPhone fell short was in terms of customization options. As an Android user, I had grown accustomed to being able to personalize my home screen, notification shade, and other features to suit my preferences. On the iPhone, these options were limited, which made me feel like I was missing out on a more tailored experience.

**Bugs and Updates: A Comparison with Android**

As a lifelong Android user, I've had my fair share of experiences with buggy updates and poor software performance. While the iPhone has its own set of bugs and issues, I found that they were generally fewer in number and less severe than those experienced on Android devices.

For example, there was a long-standing bug on my iPhone 13 Pro that caused the Settings app to become unresponsive after a few days. This was frustrating, but it was easily fixable by restarting the app or killing it and relaunching. In contrast, some of the updates I've received on Android have been catastrophic, causing issues like camera performance problems, heating up the battery life, and even rendering certain features obsolete.

**The Future of Laptops: Folding Screens and Beyond**

When it comes to laptops, I don't think folding screens will replace traditional designs anytime soon. While I've used folding phones in the past, including the Samsung Fold, I found that they were often impractical for everyday use. The same applies to convertibles with dual displays – while they offer some flexibility, I ultimately prefer the combination of a physical keyboard and trackpad on a laptop.

In my experience, laptops are designed primarily for productivity and work. They require a certain level of functionality and usability that just can't be replicated by folding screens or other alternative designs. That being said, I do think we'll see more innovative designs in the future – perhaps something like a flexible display that can be folded up when not in use.

**Conclusion**

As someone who's made the switch from Android to iPhone, I've found that both devices have their pros and cons. While the iPhone excels in terms of design, user experience, and camera performance, my Android phone still holds an edge in certain areas like customization options and app performance. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference – if you're looking for a seamless, hassle-free experience, an iPhone might be the way to go. However, if you value customization and flexibility, an Android device is likely your best bet.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjit and welcome to the tech q a session and i believe this is the second tech q a session that we're doing in 2022 and if you don't guys don't know what is this tech q a session uh on twitter you guys ask me some questions and i pick some questions out of there and answer you so it's an interaction and i've taken a variety of questions this time so uh will be pretty interesting so let's start with this one and the first question that i got is from ankita roy he says what's your take about the buggy ota updates provided by android manufacturers which are degrading the performance of phones especially battery life and slowing down the phones also sir can you suggest a good laptop in the range of 40 to 50 000 just office stuff okay and yes this is a known fact now uh many of the ota updates with smartphones specifically android smartphones are causing a lot of bugs and stuff like that in fact about two weeks ago i made a video about it the shitty situation of android updates and it's become very very serious now it's not about just one or two oem about one and a half years ago only one or two oems were doing this and i think so this is being done now intentionally so that uh your phone is slightly older you are compelled to buy a new phone it's becoming really really bad now and it's not just one or two oems it's been uh with almost most of the android oams and especially that's really really bright when you're upgrading from one android version to another let's say android 11 to android 12 you get an ot update it's really really bad but some of the regular security updates also that we get just in one two or three months has become really bad so i'll be very very cautious watch that video that i posted regarding otn if your phone is working perfectly fine just hold on to the updates don't jump because instead of improving the performance we are getting a degraded performance and i think so some of the oems have thought this process as a way to upgrade you to a new phone let's say your phone is becoming older really the shitty update it you'll be compelled your phone will become so sluggish that you'll eventually upgrade it's a very very bad move i won't say iphones are like immune but again with iphones i also have some iphones updates are not as bad as android yes some bugs but it's not like deal breaking blocks that we are seeing with android ot updates uh this is by enough jot he says i'm looking uh okay regarding your laptop into 40 to 50 000 range uh the problem is that in this price range generally yes you can get some laptops with amd ryzen 5 also core i5 around the 58 000 price point but the thing is that in this price range generally what is compromised is the build quality is compromised and also the screen quality is where they are doing the cost cutting that's the reason i personally do not like anything around that 40 50 000 uh you can get it but again you'll have to compromise on the screen quality generally they put a very average quality screen to cut down the cost generally uh you get slightly better screen quality and build quality around the 50 to 50 000 60 000 price point and you can get with amd a look at ryzen 5 series of processor with intel core i5 it should be more than enough you don't need a core i7 or something or a ryzen 7 for your daily uh stuff even core i3 would do but again if you're a very heavy multitasker then it can be a slightly uh what do you say sluggish ram i would say minimum go with eight gigabytes of ram there was a sponsored video that i made about dell watch that that will give you forget about the dead listings but that will give you a brief idea of what to go about in terms of the hardware specs uh this is by navjot he says i'm looking to buy a phone under rupees fifteen thousand for my aunt just need a good overall phone with the provides a smooth experience no gaming required should i go with the 5g phone or 4g phone option 5g poco m4 or the poco m4 pro or the redmi note 11. navjot as you are giving it to your aunt or elders why are you going with the poco or the redmi we know these phones are filled with bugs and adware and what is a bloatware why why do you want to give such a bad experience to elders i would say in this price point stick with motorola because at this price point motorola is the only provider that is not giving bloatware adware in the phones and elders they just click everything and it'll and with oh what do you say ot updates also these what you see chinese phones that you have listed add crap there so don't give that shitty experience what i have done for example for my aunts uncles and also i'm uh sticking with a phone with that keeps a clean experience and this range motorola has some options if i recall the moto g31 if amoled screen if media consumption is important has an amoled screen if you don't care about the amoled screen then you can also go with the moto g 51 i think so the 51 has five cheap so these are the two options that i give the performance is good on those phones especially the g51 uh but again it's all about the clean uh experience without the bloatware that is very important for elderly people you don't want them to give phones with craft wear and bloatware full-time that's the reason these days i'm not covering a lot of mid-range phones i'm fed up with the amount of bloatware and craft fail that comes in them this is by kumar uh good morning it's been a long time we didn't see asu 8g review and comparison uh before uh before you was long waiting for the device but after the launch everyone is silent about this kumara intentionally uh asus approached me and they were going to send me the asus 8z review on it but i told them i declined them because if you recall the a2 asus 8z launched what after about almost nine months of international launch i feel that is simply too too late to launch a smartphone in india i can understand a delay of let's say 15 days a month or even two or three months but a delay of eight months you're launching a smartphone i'm sorry that's the reason i did not cover because i know in a couple of months now the asus 9z or whatever they will call in next three four months that'll launch so that's the reason i did not cover that device and brands simply cannot delay launches by six seven months and launch it in india that that's simply not acceptable personally to me and that's the reason i did not cover it uh this is by uh bunsel he's saying hey ranjeet do you think the premium headphones like the sony xm3 perform well after two years or so is it worth buying those high priced headphones for three or four years uh muscle yes you can this is my xm3s and as you can see we have perfectly good conditions if you take good care of them they're good i also have the xm4s but these xm3s are also very good enough so it depends upon how you use it how you care about it the only thing is that what i've noticed i also had the most ones they were sounding where this ear cup can get decorated so and you can get these replacement so if you take good care of them they'll be okay after three years or something the battery life will fall down a little bit but it's not a drastic decrease let's say when you get it new it might be 20 hours or so it will give you uh after like three uh three years or whatever it might go down to about 14 or 15 hours but still if you take good care of them they do last in fact there was no reason for me to upgrade to the xn4 i just wanted i just want to compare it between the difference between the xm3s and the xm4s and to be very frank if you're on a tighter budget just go with the xm3s they sound almost the same as the xm4s the only thing is that xm4 can connect simultaneously to two different headphones that's the reason i just have my xm3s over here xm4 is just lying with my daughter anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh praveen uh do you think we will be able to see a bunch of mid-range smartphones under rupees 20 000 with 5g and no compromise on the basic specs like display camera performance now every brand wants to give 5g at a full fledge with compromise on display and processor yes we need to say you think that 5g if a phone is priced above let's 15 16 000 if it's not 5g people will simply not buy it right now that's the reason we are seeing a lot of phones above that 15 16 000 coming with the 5g and yes they're compromising on a few things uh for example earlier uh in this price range 16 17 000 most of the phones you used to get with amoled screens but now they're skipping in many of the phones the amoled screen and giving it 5g also 5g again guys if they're just giving 2-3 bands or four bands it's a gimmick guys it should have at least seven eight bands or five g uh some of the better ones are giving 10 12 bands of 5g for example again in this price range the moto g71 if i recall had 12 or 13 bands of 5g it came with an ammo screen i think so that's a very very good phone g71 uh with 5g again i'm coming back to motorola because i've used it it's good check out my review that's the one i can recommend uh samsung also has some but samsung's new pricing has gone to whack i would say as of now it's become crazy anyways uh moving to the next one uh this is by miraboo what is the main motive behind companies creating a sub brand this is an interesting question in the same sector for example vivo has a sub brand called iq why doesn't vivo sell the same phone under the name instead of calling them with iq or something uh this is not just with what do you say uh vivo yes iq is nothing but a sub brand of vivo for example real me is the same thing real me is what it's a some brand of oppo but what is the difference ico series of phones are a lot more affordable in pricing compared to the vivo vivo as the brand it's slightly premium phones premium price phones they sell and they want and they don't want to dilute that brand name that's why they released a new what do you say sub brand called iq these ico phones are more cost effective that's the same case even with the real me real means what nothing but open phones but again let's say the same open phone is for 40 000 real me might launch the same phone for 29 30 000 and i've seen that again and again so it's basically creating a sub brand with a different pricing so that's what it is uh the pro learner says which password manager is best for cross platform devices paid one will also do uh pro learner a very interesting question and actually have been using a lot of password managers so i'll share my personal experience earlier a couple of years ago i used to use one password both for mac as well as windows computers cross platform but i have ditched it about two years ago because now it's become very very expensive earlier you could just buy one license and just use it indefinitely but now they move to the subscription thing and you have to pay monthly which i feel is stupid and ridiculous what i'm currently using is known as bit warden and this is again cross-platform it works on macs as well as windows for example this is a windows computer it's also on my mac and it's cross platform in fact you can use the free version there are two versions paid and free and the free version will be more than sufficient for 95 of the people and it works seamlessly even the free version i just opted for the paid version because i just wanted to support the developer it's just ten dollars per year because it's such a good program so i'm just paying that ten dollars just to support the developer uh so the bit warden is the one that i'm using excellent excellent i would say gives a run for money for many of the paid programs and works seamlessly on an android phone or what is a mac computer on a windows computer uh this is uh the tech buddies podcast he says what happened to samsung in the mid-range category especially the a series uh why are they making blunders like providing a tft display for phones over 15 000 not giving charge in the box uh tech buddies i don't think so now samsung is going to give an amoled screen around 15 000. they are just changed they have actually changed the pricing of their smartphones even if you look at the samsung galaxy a53 notice the pricing where they are taking the pricing so i think so amoled screen now samsung above 20 000 only they are interested in giving phones with our amoled screen and this is the sad reality so um samsung as for the m series uh unless it's priced even if m series uh phone is priced uh above twenty thousand i don't think so samsung is not going to give a hamlet screen even if they give an amulet screen they'll stick with the old 60 hertz one so that's how it's a sad trend samsung has indirectly now increased the pricing of all their smartphones if you look at even in the mid-range and especially in the a series also if you look at that's the thing that i'm noticing now with the new a series of smartphones that are launching that's the sad reality this is by suraj he says when will the 2 megapixel camera tend uh stop phones costing over 30 000 also have the 2 megapixel camera samsung being the largest supplier of amulet panels why their phones above 15 and a half dft display in 2020 instead of releasing two or three mid range phones in years again this comeback uh i wanted to combine this with the last question so again this and and yes this two megapixel trend is not going to stop this is a sad trend that i'm seeing even smartphones above 30 000. many of these smartphones even at 30 30 if i 2034 000 they want to advertise as uh having a quad camera setup if they just say three camera setup people many people are not wise enough oh this one smartphone at this price only has three cameras at the back whereas the other has the four camera so it's very easy to just slap those two two megapixel ones so that sat trend of 2 megapixel is not going to go away i am strictly against that but yeah that's the trend that we are seeing and many of you were asking me again um uh about the smartphone trends will the price of the smartphones uh come down now because of the core situation it's sort of settled no it's not going to go in fact if you notice the smartphone pricing is slightly increasing still so don't expect the smartphone pricing to fall down in fact the new laptops also have i've noticed with the new intelligent 12th generation the pricing of most of the laptops with the new intel 12 generation processors have increased considerably uh this is by sahil any updates on google india is launching any smartphones in india and what are your expectations on nothing phone one first let's talk about google uh i don't think so there is any update with google india about they're launching the pixel smartphone i think so they've just forgotten about india i'll be very frank i'm i'm personally very disappointed uh because yes the they could have launched the pixel 6 but they didn't do that then we were waiting for the affordable range nothing so i don't know as of now there's no official announcements i i know a person who does not like to make a hype about everything based on just rumors so no official information as of now regarding the uh nothing phone um that was recently just they announced they did an event yes on paper not even paper they didn't even see the spec from the presentation it looks interesting but let's see when it comes to reality because what i do not like with nothing brand it's is they hype up things too much and what happens is that when you hype up things too much when you come to the reality it is very very different i hope that's not the case because what they're trying to do they say the pure experience listening to consumers what consumers want and remove the blah blah and the that we are getting with the smartphones uh they're targeting that but let's see when the product comes will will it be consumer focused or again just another chandra phone with bloatware and bad end user experience so i have high expectations but i'm keeping my expectations low and i'm not trying to get into that stupid hype because what happened with the nothing earphones yes on paper they were good they had every feature but in terms of actual sound quality it was pretty average and i test i have a lot of earphones they were good had a anc very comfortable but in the core experience they were trying to compete at what airpods prove and something in sound quality no so that's what i'm keeping my expectation realistic when the product comes let's look at it uh this is by go swami uh if you were to choose a compact premium phone with great camera and display which one you would you suggest again go swami if your budget is not an issue i would recommend the uh galaxy s22 regular one this is the s22 plus but i think so the regular one uh is the one that you should go uh because the camera is exactly the same and the camera is fabulous on this s22 this is the plus but the camera is the same on the regular s22 so that is the one the only thing is that battery life can will can be an issue it will be okay if you're a regular user but if you're a heavy user you might have to top it up in evenings this is by aruba he says with the news about samsung updates breaking stuff in the galaxy a52 do you think samsung premiums uh that they expect us to pay when their hardware is overpriced is justified at all uh that too one of the main a series phone not the m series yes i'm also pretty uh disappointed with the update the release for the galaxy a52s in fact i tweeted about it and i hope samsung pays a lot more attention because that's you're paying a certain premium for these a series smartphone and the updates they should just should not release the updates just like that without testing so i hope they pay attention to it this is why pratik battle bought the s22 fe in february upgraded from the asus max pro m1 but it feels like a downgrade for normal users less battery life and bit more heating please talk about the heating issues uh part two uh which s22 fed you buy did you buy with the exynos version if yes the exynos version is known to have a lot of heating if it's the 5g version then it does not heat that much but again guys if you're coming from mid-range smartphone most of the flagships because this this is the s22 plus with the snapdragon 88 uh the new snapdragon 8gen one and let me give you a very good example people generally what i've noticed many people who are upgrading from a mid-range smartphone when they upgrade to a flagship smartphone with a flagship processor yes it will heat up a little bit more it's like a bike's engine let's say a 200cc bike uh does not heat up that much but if you upgrade uh move to a 600 or 800 cc bike it actually produces a lot more heat that's the same case even with a flagship soc uh so yes it will get a little bit more warmer than a mid-range soc that's a fact that's the reason i recommend many people a mid-range soc for example the snapdragon 720 series were very good uh even the snapdragon 788 series uh snapdragon 690 etc did not heat up that much but when you come to the flagships even with snapdragon snapdragon 88 if the same stress if i do i will heat up a lot more that's that's what it is but again if it's the s20 fe exynos version the exynos version has a problem of heating uh just want to get it right but again if you're comparing a mid-range smartphone with the mid-range soc with the flagship smartphone if you do the same task the flagship one will if you touch the back will heat up a lot more that's a simple fact uh this is by z god uh does the chipset have an impact on the final output of the image or is it because of the software same 108 megapixel or 64 megapixel or 50 megapixel doesn't take photos same in the different brands like oppo vivo i could take better pictures compared to samsung redmi real me moto even having the same sensor in 15 or 20 30 000. yes it all let's say you have the same sensor let's say 64 mega pixel sensor with the body say sony sensor on the same smartphone and you'll notice that image quality is very very different from different different brand and it all comes down to the image processing after image processing that the brand does and it is very different for a different brand for example vivo oppo etc uh they do a very different job i would say compared to some other brand like samsung you could say moto etc and all depends on the image after processing and again it's very different from one one brand to the other in fact they send millions and millions of dollars uh in optimizing this after image processing in fact it differs from region to region also uh in fact many people like in india the vivos and the oppos because they make our indian skin tones look a little bit more vibrant whereas some other brands don't do that to a larger extent so it all depends on the image after processing and that's the reason many times you see when you buy a new phone with this uh same phone let's say uh initially first four or five months it might take really really good pictures but let's say after eight nine months there is an update that comes and suddenly the quality of the pictures degrade do you think the sensor integrated no it's the after image processing that they have decorated with the note update so it's all about the after image processing and that's why same sensor if you take identical sensor with different smartphone brands you will get different results uh this is by abj jain uh he's asking uh how difficult is it for a lifelong android user to switch to iphone in your experience and are going to switch to iphones completely because we know you are hardcore android user i have the iphone 13 pro also you guys know and uh i have android phones also and i can use both of them uh the only thing that i do not like on the iphones is that i don't like the sms app default on this i feel the sms organizer app that we have on android phone is far far superior also in my usage i feel uh truecaller simply does not work that well on iphone so apart from that i can live with an iphone i would say battery life is actually much better on the iphone 13 pro compared to even the android flagships that gives me better so i can live with that you get used to it but there are some apps that i feel just work better on an android phone you can argue that uh even for the iphone there are some native apps i feel instagram for example has just works better on an iphone so it depends and you can migrate but initially i would say first 15 days you will be just scribbling your hair why is it like this why it's like that and also remember if you're moving from android to iphone if you have a lot of whatsapp data it's not easy migrating it to the iphone just remember that many people think that's very very easy no it's not that okay uh this is uh by subpac uh he is asking do you experience bug in apple software ios ipad mac os yes there are bugs as i've told you uh even on the iphone 13 pro there is this long bug that has been there for a long long time if you have the setting page just left it after two three days it just becomes unresponsive i can't access the bluetooth i have to kill that page and go back so yes there are some bugs even with iphone but the bugs that you have with iphone let's say with an update a bug has come it's not a very very serious bug that affects the overall performance of the smartphone generally that's not the case with the bad ot updates that we are getting on android some of the bad updates on the android phones are crippling camera performance heating up the battery life goes for a toss many people and some other did believe me or not the front facing camera stopped working so yes we also have some bugs that are released with ios but again the co it's not that bad and yes they get rectified after uh of next couple of updates so i would say relatively the update situation is better on the iphone and again iphones get updates for a long time even a five year old android uh what do you say i iphone gets updates this is by vivek hey nanjit uh hope you are doing well according to you which would be the future of laptops in terms of form factor and design will they replace by a folding screen solution vivek i don't think so we will have a yes we might have a convertible laptop with a folding screen or something uh but i have used folding phones i have the fold and everything what i realized for the laptop form factor in fact i also have the surface pro etc if you follow me from a long time you know that trap tablet form factor and all this thing but i have come back to the laptop form factor for work because this one with integrated physical keyboard it's just way more practical for getting the job done than a dual form factor like a tablet form factor and stuff so this is the form factor you will see but yeah we might have some innovative stuff like folding and stuff but i feel still the combination of a physical keyboard trackpad and a display is just better i've seen i've liked i had the asus dual display one display one over here my mini display over here uh that i used it for some time and i thought that was useful but again for me personally having a physical keyboard and a trackpad makes a lot more sense on a laptop it's just for productivity and work this is just way better than just having a total maybe of total screen here and here and folding it like that just my personal experience after using so many devices that tried to do a hybrid kind of a solution and failed miserably in fact uh ipads also people are trying to use it like an um what do you say tablet and something it's rubbish you want a proper computer get a proper computer in my frank opinion anyways guys that's it for now for this tech q a session and guys if you're still not subscribed to this youtube channel hit that subscribe button this is ranji then i hope to see you in my next video take care guyshi guys this is ranjit and welcome to the tech q a session and i believe this is the second tech q a session that we're doing

required should i go with the 5g phone or 4g phone option 5g poco m4 or the poco m4 pro or the redmi note 11. navjot as you are giving it to your aunt or elders why are you going with the poco or the redmi we know these phones are filled with bugs and adware and what is a bloatware why why do you want to give such a bad experience to elders i would say in this price point stick with motorola because at this price point motorola is the only provider that is not giving bloatware adware in the phones and elders they just click everything and it'll and with oh what do you say ot updates also these what you see chinese phones that you have listed add crap there so don't give that shitty experience what i have done for example for my aunts uncles and also i'm uh sticking with a phone with that keeps a clean experience and this range motorola has some options if i recall the moto g31 if amoled screen if media consumption is important has an amoled screen if you don't care about the amoled screen then you can also go with the moto g 51 i think so the 51 has five cheap so these are the two options that i give the performance is good on those phones especially the g51 uh but again it's all about the clean uh experience without the bloatware that is very important for elderly people you don't want them to give phones with craft wear and bloatware full-time that's the reason these days i'm not covering a lot of mid-range phones i'm fed up with the amount of bloatware and craft fail that comes in them this is by kumar uh good morning it's been a long time we didn't see asu 8g review and comparison uh before uh before you was long waiting for the device but after the launch everyone is silent about this kumara intentionally uh asus approached me and they were going to send me the asus 8z review on it but i told them i declined them because if you recall the a2 asus 8z launched what after about almost nine months of international launch i feel that is simply too too late to launch a smartphone in india i can understand a delay of let's say 15 days a month or even two or three months but a delay of eight months you're launching a smartphone i'm sorry that's the reason i did not cover because i know in a couple of months now the asus 9z or whatever they will call in next three four months that'll launch so that's the reason i did not cover that device and brands simply cannot delay launches by six seven months and launch it in india that that's simply not acceptable personally to me and that's the reason i did not cover it uh this is by uh bunsel he's saying hey ranjeet do you think the premium headphones like the sony xm3 perform well after two years or so is it worth buying those high priced headphones for three or four years uh muscle yes you can this is my xm3s and as you can see we have perfectly good conditions if you take good care of them they're good i also have the xm4s but these xm3s are also very good enough so it depends upon how you use it how you care about it the only thing is that what i've noticed i also had the most ones they were sounding where this ear cup can get decorated so and you can get these replacement so if you take good care of them they'll be okay after three years or something the battery life will fall down a little bit but it's not a drastic decrease let's say when you get it new it might be 20 hours or so it will give you uh after like three uh three years or whatever it might go down to about 14 or 15 hours but still if you take good care of them they do last in fact there was no reason for me to upgrade to the xn4 i just wanted i just want to compare it between the difference between the xm3s and the xm4s and to be very frank if you're on a tighter budget just go with the xm3s they sound almost the same as the xm4s the only thing is that xm4 can connect simultaneously to two different headphones that's the reason i just have my xm3s over here xm4 is just lying with my daughter anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh praveen uh do you think we will be able to see a bunch of mid-range smartphones under rupees 20 000 with 5g and no compromise on the basic specs like display camera performance now every brand wants to give 5g at a full fledge with compromise on display and processor yes we need to say you think that 5g if a phone is priced above let's 15 16 000 if it's not 5g people will simply not buy it right now that's the reason we are seeing a lot of phones above that 15 16 000 coming with the 5g and yes they're compromising on a few things uh for example earlier uh in this price range 16 17 000 most of the phones you used to get with amoled screens but now they're skipping in many of the phones the amoled screen and giving it 5g also 5g again guys if they're just giving 2-3 bands or four bands it's a gimmick guys it should have at least seven eight bands or five g uh some of the better ones are giving 10 12 bands of 5g for example again in this price range the moto g71 if i recall had 12 or 13 bands of 5g it came with an ammo screen i think so that's a very very good phone g71 uh with 5g again i'm coming back to motorola because i've used it it's good check out my review that's the one i can recommend uh samsung also has some but samsung's new pricing has gone to whack i would say as of now it's become crazy anyways uh moving to the next one uh this is by miraboo what is the main motive behind companies creating a sub brand this is an interesting question in the same sector for example vivo has a sub brand called iq why doesn't vivo sell the same phone under the name instead of calling them with iq or something uh this is not just with what do you say uh vivo yes iq is nothing but a sub brand of vivo for example real me is the same thing real me is what it's a some brand of oppo but what is the difference ico series of phones are a lot more affordable in pricing compared to the vivo vivo as the brand it's slightly premium phones premium price phones they sell and they want and they don't want to dilute that brand name that's why they released a new what do you say sub brand called iq these ico phones are more cost effective that's the same case even with the real me real means what nothing but open phones but again let's say the same open phone is for 40 000 real me might launch the same phone for 29 30 000 and i've seen that again and again so it's basically creating a sub brand with a different pricing so that's what it is uh the pro learner says which password manager is best for cross platform devices paid one will also do uh pro learner a very interesting question and actually have been using a lot of password managers so i'll share my personal experience earlier a couple of years ago i used to use one password both for mac as well as windows computers cross platform but i have ditched it about two years ago because now it's become very very expensive earlier you could just buy one license and just use it indefinitely but now they move to the subscription thing and you have to pay monthly which i feel is stupid and ridiculous what i'm currently using is known as bit warden and this is again cross-platform it works on macs as well as windows for example this is a windows computer it's also on my mac and it's cross platform in fact you can use the free version there are two versions paid and free and the free version will be more than sufficient for 95 of the people and it works seamlessly even the free version i just opted for the paid version because i just wanted to support the developer it's just ten dollars per year because it's such a good program so i'm just paying that ten dollars just to support the developer uh so the bit warden is the one that i'm using excellent excellent i would say gives a run for money for many of the paid programs and works seamlessly on an android phone or what is a mac computer on a windows computer uh this is uh the tech buddies podcast he says what happened to samsung in the mid-range category especially the a series uh why are they making blunders like providing a tft display for phones over 15 000 not giving charge in the box uh tech buddies i don't think so now samsung is going to give an amoled screen around 15 000. they are just changed they have actually changed the pricing of their smartphones even if you look at the samsung galaxy a53 notice the pricing where they are taking the pricing so i think so amoled screen now samsung above 20 000 only they are interested in giving phones with our amoled screen and this is the sad reality so um samsung as for the m series uh unless it's priced even if m series uh phone is priced uh above twenty thousand i don't think so samsung is not going to give a hamlet screen even if they give an amulet screen they'll stick with the old 60 hertz one so that's how it's a sad trend samsung has indirectly now increased the pricing of all their smartphones if you look at even in the mid-range and especially in the a series also if you look at that's the thing that i'm noticing now with the new a series of smartphones that are launching that's the sad reality this is by suraj he says when will the 2 megapixel camera tend uh stop phones costing over 30 000 also have the 2 megapixel camera samsung being the largest supplier of amulet panels why their phones above 15 and a half dft display in 2020 instead of releasing two or three mid range phones in years again this comeback uh i wanted to combine this with the last question so again this and and yes this two megapixel trend is not going to stop this is a sad trend that i'm seeing even smartphones above 30 000. many of these smartphones even at 30 30 if i 2034 000 they want to advertise as uh having a quad camera setup if they just say three camera setup people many people are not wise enough oh this one smartphone at this price only has three cameras at the back whereas the other has the four camera so it's very easy to just slap those two two megapixel ones so that sat trend of 2 megapixel is not going to go away i am strictly against that but yeah that's the trend that we are seeing and many of you were asking me again um uh about the smartphone trends will the price of the smartphones uh come down now because of the core situation it's sort of settled no it's not going to go in fact if you notice the smartphone pricing is slightly increasing still so don't expect the smartphone pricing to fall down in fact the new laptops also have i've noticed with the new intelligent 12th generation the pricing of most of the laptops with the new intel 12 generation processors have increased considerably uh this is by sahil any updates on google india is launching any smartphones in india and what are your expectations on nothing phone one first let's talk about google uh i don't think so there is any update with google india about they're launching the pixel smartphone i think so they've just forgotten about india i'll be very frank i'm i'm personally very disappointed uh because yes the they could have launched the pixel 6 but they didn't do that then we were waiting for the affordable range nothing so i don't know as of now there's no official announcements i i know a person who does not like to make a hype about everything based on just rumors so no official information as of now regarding the uh nothing phone um that was recently just they announced they did an event yes on paper not even paper they didn't even see the spec from the presentation it looks interesting but let's see when it comes to reality because what i do not like with nothing brand it's is they hype up things too much and what happens is that when you hype up things too much when you come to the reality it is very very different i hope that's not the case because what they're trying to do they say the pure experience listening to consumers what consumers want and remove the blah blah and the that we are getting with the smartphones uh they're targeting that but let's see when the product comes will will it be consumer focused or again just another chandra phone with bloatware and bad end user experience so i have high expectations but i'm keeping my expectations low and i'm not trying to get into that stupid hype because what happened with the nothing earphones yes on paper they were good they had every feature but in terms of actual sound quality it was pretty average and i test i have a lot of earphones they were good had a anc very comfortable but in the core experience they were trying to compete at what airpods prove and something in sound quality no so that's what i'm keeping my expectation realistic when the product comes let's look at it uh this is by go swami uh if you were to choose a compact premium phone with great camera and display which one you would you suggest again go swami if your budget is not an issue i would recommend the uh galaxy s22 regular one this is the s22 plus but i think so the regular one uh is the one that you should go uh because the camera is exactly the same and the camera is fabulous on this s22 this is the plus but the camera is the same on the regular s22 so that is the one the only thing is that battery life can will can be an issue it will be okay if you're a regular user but if you're a heavy user you might have to top it up in evenings this is by aruba he says with the news about samsung updates breaking stuff in the galaxy a52 do you think samsung premiums uh that they expect us to pay when their hardware is overpriced is justified at all uh that too one of the main a series phone not the m series yes i'm also pretty uh disappointed with the update the release for the galaxy a52s in fact i tweeted about it and i hope samsung pays a lot more attention because that's you're paying a certain premium for these a series smartphone and the updates they should just should not release the updates just like that without testing so i hope they pay attention to it this is why pratik battle bought the s22 fe in february upgraded from the asus max pro m1 but it feels like a downgrade for normal users less battery life and bit more heating please talk about the heating issues uh part two uh which s22 fed you buy did you buy with the exynos version if yes the exynos version is known to have a lot of heating if it's the 5g version then it does not heat that much but again guys if you're coming from mid-range smartphone most of the flagships because this this is the s22 plus with the snapdragon 88 uh the new snapdragon 8gen one and let me give you a very good example people generally what i've noticed many people who are upgrading from a mid-range smartphone when they upgrade to a flagship smartphone with a flagship processor yes it will heat up a little bit more it's like a bike's engine let's say a 200cc bike uh does not heat up that much but if you upgrade uh move to a 600 or 800 cc bike it actually produces a lot more heat that's the same case even with a flagship soc uh so yes it will get a little bit more warmer than a mid-range soc that's a fact that's the reason i recommend many people a mid-range soc for example the snapdragon 720 series were very good uh even the snapdragon 788 series uh snapdragon 690 etc did not heat up that much but when you come to the flagships even with snapdragon snapdragon 88 if the same stress if i do i will heat up a lot more that's that's what it is but again if it's the s20 fe exynos version the exynos version has a problem of heating uh just want to get it right but again if you're comparing a mid-range smartphone with the mid-range soc with the flagship smartphone if you do the same task the flagship one will if you touch the back will heat up a lot more that's a simple fact uh this is by z god uh does the chipset have an impact on the final output of the image or is it because of the software same 108 megapixel or 64 megapixel or 50 megapixel doesn't take photos same in the different brands like oppo vivo i could take better pictures compared to samsung redmi real me moto even having the same sensor in 15 or 20 30 000. yes it all let's say you have the same sensor let's say 64 mega pixel sensor with the body say sony sensor on the same smartphone and you'll notice that image quality is very very different from different different brand and it all comes down to the image processing after image processing that the brand does and it is very different for a different brand for example vivo oppo etc uh they do a very different job i would say compared to some other brand like samsung you could say moto etc and all depends on the image after processing and again it's very different from one one brand to the other in fact they send millions and millions of dollars uh in optimizing this after image processing in fact it differs from region to region also uh in fact many people like in india the vivos and the oppos because they make our indian skin tones look a little bit more vibrant whereas some other brands don't do that to a larger extent so it all depends on the image after processing and that's the reason many times you see when you buy a new phone with this uh same phone let's say uh initially first four or five months it might take really really good pictures but let's say after eight nine months there is an update that comes and suddenly the quality of the pictures degrade do you think the sensor integrated no it's the after image processing that they have decorated with the note update so it's all about the after image processing and that's why same sensor if you take identical sensor with different smartphone brands you will get different results uh this is by abj jain uh he's asking uh how difficult is it for a lifelong android user to switch to iphone in your experience and are going to switch to iphones completely because we know you are hardcore android user i have the iphone 13 pro also you guys know and uh i have android phones also and i can use both of them uh the only thing that i do not like on the iphones is that i don't like the sms app default on this i feel the sms organizer app that we have on android phone is far far superior also in my usage i feel uh truecaller simply does not work that well on iphone so apart from that i can live with an iphone i would say battery life is actually much better on the iphone 13 pro compared to even the android flagships that gives me better so i can live with that you get used to it but there are some apps that i feel just work better on an android phone you can argue that uh even for the iphone there are some native apps i feel instagram for example has just works better on an iphone so it depends and you can migrate but initially i would say first 15 days you will be just scribbling your hair why is it like this why it's like that and also remember if you're moving from android to iphone if you have a lot of whatsapp data it's not easy migrating it to the iphone just remember that many people think that's very very easy no it's not that okay uh this is uh by subpac uh he is asking do you experience bug in apple software ios ipad mac os yes there are bugs as i've told you uh even on the iphone 13 pro there is this long bug that has been there for a long long time if you have the setting page just left it after two three days it just becomes unresponsive i can't access the bluetooth i have to kill that page and go back so yes there are some bugs even with iphone but the bugs that you have with iphone let's say with an update a bug has come it's not a very very serious bug that affects the overall performance of the smartphone generally that's not the case with the bad ot updates that we are getting on android some of the bad updates on the android phones are crippling camera performance heating up the battery life goes for a toss many people and some other did believe me or not the front facing camera stopped working so yes we also have some bugs that are released with ios but again the co it's not that bad and yes they get rectified after uh of next couple of updates so i would say relatively the update situation is better on the iphone and again iphones get updates for a long time even a five year old android uh what do you say i iphone gets updates this is by vivek hey nanjit uh hope you are doing well according to you which would be the future of laptops in terms of form factor and design will they replace by a folding screen solution vivek i don't think so we will have a yes we might have a convertible laptop with a folding screen or something uh but i have used folding phones i have the fold and everything what i realized for the laptop form factor in fact i also have the surface pro etc if you follow me from a long time you know that trap tablet form factor and all this thing but i have come back to the laptop form factor for work because this one with integrated physical keyboard it's just way more practical for getting the job done than a dual form factor like a tablet form factor and stuff so this is the form factor you will see but yeah we might have some innovative stuff like folding and stuff but i feel still the combination of a physical keyboard trackpad and a display is just better i've seen i've liked i had the asus dual display one display one over here my mini display over here uh that i used it for some time and i thought that was useful but again for me personally having a physical keyboard and a trackpad makes a lot more sense on a laptop it's just for productivity and work this is just way better than just having a total maybe of total screen here and here and folding it like that just my personal experience after using so many devices that tried to do a hybrid kind of a solution and failed miserably in fact uh ipads also people are trying to use it like an um what do you say tablet and something it's rubbish you want a proper computer get a proper computer in my frank opinion anyways guys that's it for now for this tech q a session and guys if you're still not subscribed to this
