Inquisitive Universe: Good evening to you on this lovely Friday evening. How are you? How'd your week go. I have a few things to get off my chest as per the attitude of users, the smartphone companies and what we could possibly do. So let's get going. First off, I wanna discuss people. Yes people. Because why not? When I post on here or on any other platform that's not my website, I get zero money. Absolute zero. It's a completely free service that I'm offering. I'm essentially serving you. What's left now is for you or anyone else to accept and digest the information. If I'm right 100%, you learn something new. If I'm wrong, it will reinforce the correct knowledge that you already have and I'll learn something new. It's a win win for both of us. So after Google systematically shadowbanned websites and blogs in 2024, many of us left our blogs behind. I focused more on just leaving posts here. With the website back, I have now begun to post articles up there because why not. It's money that I'm using to keep it online. At least let the site earn its own parking fees. Can you 😂😂😂 can you believe that someone messaged me on Facebook and said, "why are you posting your website links? Post it here, I don't want to go to any site." I need to know where they sell audacity because I'd like to have that kind of confidence. To this person, I have committed a sin by making him go through the hard step of clicking on an extra button just to read info that would in some small way help the creator. On to the next one, when it comes to the keyword "eFootball mobile system requirements", I have been on or near the top of Google Search for the last 2 years. It's no empty boast. Feel free to check. So alot of people would find the article, ignore it and run straight to my DM asking if their specific phone can play eFootball mobile. I usually do my best to answer them. Imagine Mr A messages you and says can Itel A80 play eFootball? You check and see that the Itel A80 uses Unisoc T603 on top of Android Go. I mean even if Android Go can run eFootball now, that Unisoc T603 will be a problem to the person in future. You use a Poco F5 with Snapdragon 7+ Gen and eFootball mobile on high settings can cause the phone to become warm. You advise this brother to please up his budget and get a better phone. He disagrees and says he knows his uncle's brother's sister's aunt's son uses it to play eFootball. You: okay suit yourself. You forget and move on with your life only for the said individual to come back and say that he did indeed buy the phone and that eFootball mobile works. He goes on to say that you don't know what you're doing. It's everyone that has mic and data that is coming online to talk rubbish. Okay sir I agree, please go away na. Go and enjoy your game. I agree. I don't know what I'm doing. Thank you. He finally goes away. Only to return again that the phone isn't working well and that he needs a better recommendation and that you're duty bound to help him since you're in this content creator space. Then of course there are the ones that attacks you when you badmouth their favourite brand. I have tackled Transsion in the past and Xiaomi very recently but I don't think I have invested as much energy into anything I have done with Oppo. As expected, the empire did strike back. It would have actually hurt ehn, if I was indeed a "local champion" but I'm competing with GSMArena and Notebook Check for keywords bruh. That's world class! If it isn't, I'd like to be educated on what world class is. Then smartphone companies, I remember in 2022 when we tried to rationalize their decision to screw customers by talking about the effects of COVID-19, shipping costs around the globe, taxes, prices of phone components, inflation etc. It's all hogwash. I believe it's clear for all to see that all to see that they're all in one WhatsApp group with the exception of Samsung maybe. All the phones are clones of each other. It's so bad I do not want to do another top 10 or top 5 phones that you can buy for X amount The companies know this too so they're refusing to sell the phone to us. In 2017, 2018 and early 2019, they sold big batteries and 10W fast charge. 10W fast charge 😂. Read that slowly. Between 2019 to 2021 and probably 2022, they sold megapixels and cameras. 2023 was a year of confusion as they didn't really know what to sell. However from 2024 till now, they've begun to sell waterproofing and ruggedness. If you're buying anything from 100-200k (<$120), you're essentially getting 250-260k performance on AnTuTu, 50mp main camera, 720p display, 5000mAh battery and 15-18W fast charge. Between 200 to 400k (<$250), you're getting around 400k on AnTuTu, 108MP main camera, 1080p display, 5000mAh battery and 33, 45 or 67W fast charge. The only two devices that buck this trend are the Itel RS4 and P55 5G. So I am fully supporting them. As for you my dear friend, if you have a decent phone, unless you want to spend more for less, take excellent care of your current phone. Change the screen protector, buy a better case and protect the camera lens from sunlight rays that yellows plastic and glass. I'll be stepping away from the mic now. Do have a lovely evening.
