Here the Nord 5 is about €350 for 8/256, and the 15R €500 for 12/256. I don't need more storage than 256GB since I self host most of my media. €150 (almost 50% extra) feelt like a lot for the difference, hence I wondered if there was something I was missing.
>>
>>108942519
the OnePlus has a higher durability rating, faster soc, faster storage and a better display. nord is a mid ranger and the 15r is a mid ranger with some flagship specs. it depends if those things matter to you or not to justify the small amount of extra money.

Used a samsung 25 ultra for 30 days, terrible phone.

OneUI is slow and tacky, very weird and non uniform design choices, battery life was absolutely terrible, worse than my old iphone levels. Camera stuttered hard when taking photos and overall felt very unintuitive to use. Its a fast phone sure, but the software is terrible on it.

Switched to oneplus 15 with oxygenOS and I'm liking it. I really dont care that its a clone of apple, because its a really good clone and its smooth. I use the button for gemini way too often.

Its a very fast flagship phone, and battery life is insane. I'll use it for a day, be at 70% and then use it the next day and be at 50% and then the next day is when it will be near 15% at the end and I'll have to charge it which it has fast charging in 30 minutes.

Bad:

I read that they're stopping phone production but apparently they will still provide updates for existing models:
>The brand will still offer maintenance, software updates, and warranty services for existing smartphones
https://www.gsmarena.com/confirmed_asus_is_exiting_the_smartphone_market_-news-71158.php

So if you were to get an Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra (released last year) you would still get 4 years of security updates because they said they would give 5 years of updates after release:

If you think GREEN LINES (a hardware problem) magically occurs because Samsung updated your phone and not due to damaged hardware you are an idiot.

Probably what happened is the heat from doing the update triggered the problem happening, caused by previous damage and/or drops to the phone.

EVERY phone with an OLED screen can have this issue. iPhones get green/purple lines too, both the ones with Samsung screens and that other manufacturers (LG, BOE). It is not caused by software.

Besides that video is suspect, how did the brown hand man know there would be a green line after the update? Suspicious.
