This is getting out of Control...

[dgianstefani]

Yeah, because mobile phoning means doing everything a purpose built device does, but on the move, on the toilet, in the subway, on the side of a mountain.
And not doing it much worse than those devices either.

 

[cucker tarlson]

And if you could present your point better that's be great as well

read the damn post!

what are you talking about.
nintendo switch is one third of the price of a phone with kinda "gaming" specs and it's in another league

 

[dgianstefani]

Yeah switch is truly a masterwork of hardware. Totally nothing to do with the proprietary IP and software that can be run on emulators.

 

[R0H1T]

read the damn post!

Oh zip it, I've read your post & you make it sound as if everyone buying $1000 phones are just doing calls on it

 

[dgianstefani]

With every post you demonstrate your ignorance. But don't worry, that's to be expected from someone who dismisses tech as "too expensive and not worth it".

It's a demand driven economy. They price that because people pay it, mostly because they're worth it.

then enjoy playing candy crush on a 4K HDR surround phone that costs $1000 oh and don't forget to pay another premium for a controller

 

[dgianstefani]

K bub. You're right and hundreds of millions of people are wrong.

Enjoy playing your switch.

Remember kids the only thing you can do on phones is game. I guess it at least shows the limit of your imagination.

I don't have a switch.
but if could choose a budget phone+switch+basic ultrabook for the price of a high end smartphone,I'd be dumb to take the latter.

The quality of 4k@60fps video on my iPhone 11 Pro Max is exceptional. I just went on holiday and the camera on the iPhone 11 Pro is the nicest camera I've ever used on a mobile device... and for what it's worth, I can do a lot more with my phone than I can with a switch. If your only concern is playing games, you're not looking at a phone unless you're an idiot.

I guess some of us have money to have two nice things rather than one. Guess that makes us idiots. Huh.

ah,now you're talking sense
you're simply confusing throwing money away with actual progress
I throw money around on other things too.I never claimed it's nothing more than a whim though.
I spent over $1.5k on peripherials for my pc,never claimed what I have is any more revolutionary than what would cost me a third.Just nice to have.

 

[dgianstefani]

The delusions are truly exceptional.

Remember kids, spending money on high end hardware is throwing it away.

True wisdom from the lips of the cuck.

I don't feel like I threw away money on my phone. I use it every day, more than I even use my tower because it travels with me everywhere. It depends on what's important to you and what your priorities are. I don't spend the same money on a GPU as I would on a phone because I use one far more than the other.

well,hardware is toys.
you should be old enough to understand that surely.

 

[Aquinus]

well,hardware is toys,unless you pay your bills with your computer.

...or if your job involves working on computers all day, like if you're a software engineer or something.

Sounds like you have some assumptions about what people use technology for.

I know many people who work in IT,their work,home and laptop pcs as well as their phones are worse than mine.

no one does content creation on a phone

That doesn't mean that people don't benefit from better hardware. I didn't mind having a flip phone. Then I got an iPhone 4s and I could never go back. Ever since, every time i replace my phone, I feel like I'm getting more out of it. I could do my job on a 1024x768 display, but that doesn't mean that I'll be as productive as having two 1080ps, or two 4ks. It's a matter of priorities.

yes,but everything has steps.
like I said,to get more of a modern budget phone changing the specs is not enough anymore.this is what the damn thread is actually about.

"Noone does content creation on a phone"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[R0H1T]

You know what'd be great, if the OP posted more than that one pic that got this thing going.
As for me, I'd say all "consumerism" is generally bad (for the environment) with absolutely no exceptions!

well,no one serious.
if you're a casual,maybe.
but then again,back to my point about whims.

I know people who do. Also it's not insane. I take advantage of having 3 camera lenses because digital zoom sucks. I benefit from 512GB of storage because 4k@60FPS video is big. I benefit from the smaller bezel because it improves screen real estate and I can definitely tell by having my old iPhone 7 next to the 11 Pro Max. The battery life is at least twice as good, and the OLED screen has amazing brightness and contrast. I'd say manufacturers are making plenty good progress.

The question you have to ask yourself is if you care about those changes. You might not, I do.

like I said,I prefer functionality.
would take an actual camera and graphical ultrabook/tablet over a phone any day.

When I go to Disney World, I'm not hauling a tablet with me or several different devices. One device is kind of the point. Otherwise, I'd be using a laptop instead.

I think you find it hard to see that a phone has limitations,e.g. it's a phone not a portable workstation that you're making it out to be.
