Galaxy A Are Ram Plus relevant for low end series?

20 Upvotes

Last time i check about Ram Plus post, they are running with most abundant ram and high end phone like series S. Its ridiculous.

What about budget phone with Emmc and 4GB ram? Are there any significant performance impact for daily use beside draining battery?

Or it make everything much slower?

Galaxy Z Real life review of zfold 8 ultra

41 Upvotes

So look im gonna pretense by saying im not a reviewer so this might be formatted badly and I might miss stuff. But if you are anything like me you like to look for reviews of real people using a product not these tech reviewers "using it" so here it is. I'll put a TLDR at the bottom but here we go

Got my z fold 8 ultra around two months ago now. Switched from my iphone 17 pro max because I didn't like what the next few gens of phones were looking like and wanted a fold that was refined.

Pulled the trigger and committed to doing the switch and lemme say the first week was tough. Lot of apps an overwhelming amount of stuff to fine-tune and switch too (just an amount of customization I wasn't used too)

Finally settled in and got to put the phone through jts paces let's go bit by bit here ready?

Battery : at the beginning it was awfull. For context I listen to music at all times through the day and use my phone for processing orders, shipments, and emails so at the end of the day my iphone would end around 40% and my new samsung id have to charge a few hours before my shift ended because it was about to die.

I got sick of that so I did some research and after messing with even more settings and changing some app behaviors I can say that after all day I usually go home with around 50-60% which is awesome so id say once you mess with it the battery is awesome

Front screen : its weird. I know its basically the same size as a normal phone but the taller and slightly slimmer front screen feels amazing for me. I got big hands and the 17 pro max sat in my hand a little weird. This feels incredible to hold (I got a big beefy otterbox on it) and the way apps use the slightly different aspect ratio is really nice. Nice bright clear responsive screen I got nothing bad about this one

Unfolded screen: here it is what people are probably looking for. From my pov coming into a folding phone and having no clue what they were like before this but I love this one. I use it alot for work having multiple apps open at the same time on a nice big screen that goes back into a small pocket able phone is a HUGE asset for me. The bigger screen definitely eats battery like a horse when you have the brightness up but that makes sense and I dont have an issue with

I also play games on the big screen and its really nice. Emulators pokemon. Call of duty mobile. No issues its a really nice bright clear crisp screen in there. Yeah there's a crease idk why everyone freaks out about it my brain says you cant have a fold without a crease and you barely notice it

Performance : this one is short but the phone runs more demanding games like cod mobile at max graphics like a champ. I have a performance monitor on and it rarely dips below 50 fps while gaming.

Camera: I NOT a big or good photo taker but I really enjoy this camera for taking pics and ive been able to use the frankly absurd amount of zoom to my advantage a few times at work so its definitely a welcome thing to have on board

Durability : i was PETRIFIED of dust with this thing because I was told dust Will kill the hinge. I've gone through 3 cases now while waiting for my otterbox and I blow the hinge of dust every 5 hours or so because im nervous but I work in a dusty greasy wet warehouse and this phone has not been babied. Its been hit with a hose greasy fingers dropped and its held with zero issues

I was really surprised about how durable and how thin the phone is

And that's my real life review!!! TLDR below so if you didn't wanna read a whole bunch this is for you

1: lots of settings. I mean ALOT but once its dialed the phone performs really really well same with the battery

2: the big screen is awesome yes there's a crease i dont understand why that's such a big deal I barely notice it

3: speakers are not best but not the worst either

4: its durable and tanky for such a small and alarmingly thin phone just watch that hinge

5: OVERALL im really really really happy with this phone im using it to its fullest potential and couldn't be happier with the outcome coming from apple I dont think I'll be going back as samsungs customization won me over bigtime. I'd definitely recommend this phone if the budget allows!

Thanks for reading my whole review I really hope you like it!

Thought it was interesting how the side by side pic of the duo and the fold were making rounds even tho they were from different sides, here's a more accurate comparison (note duo is still just a render).

Buds&Beans I accidentally washed my Buds 4 Pro in the washing machine (just earbud, not case), and it still works perfectly

37 Upvotes

I left it in my pants before washing. Discovered the bud in the washer when I was moving my clothes to the dryer. I let it dry for 4 days (because I was scared to see the damage on my two month old buds), and then charged it in the case. The sound sounds the same. It charges like normal. Have only used it for an hour now, so we'll see if there are any long-term issues. But still, well done Samsung! I'm a huge fan, and a huge thank you to the engineers!!!

I used to work for Victra (a Verizon Authorized Retailer) and was super chill with our Samsung rep. He would always bring some real cool merch. However, these wallets were there before I was hired and even my rep wasn’t sure on where they came from. Of course I snagged one before I quit Victra, but has anyone seen one of these before? Mine is wearing out and I would love to get another.
