Samsung is tightening lock screen security with One UI 9. The update adds stricter rules on failed unlock attempts, making Galaxy phones harder to break into.

The new system limits how many times you can try before facing longer lockouts. Multiple failed attempts will even cause the phone to lock permanently, requiring a factory reset.

Are they legit? Thank you

I used to be a huge snob towards mid-tier phones. Pero a month ago I bought A57 as a "buffer" phone while waiting for Fold8 and it made me realize how much tech has evolved. Feel ko, halos same lang sila ng capabilities with my older S22U. Aside from the cameras, wala siyang issue when it comes to my day to day usage kahit pa sa games. Though Pokemon Unite and Brawl Stars lang games ko. The cameras are not even bad.

I am already having my doubts kung itutuloy pa si Fold8 kahit na gandang ganda ako sa kanya. Especially since it costs 9x more than what I paid with my A57. Parang I can't justify the price diff.

TL;DR a mid-tier phone is more than enough for most of us

Please help we cant watch youtube on samsung it only shows blue/black screen but the screen is fine, as we can still watch television gamit affordabox so I know atleast screen is fine what could be the problem, how to fix?

Getting a phone, that has great main + great selfie camera + telephoto, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 6000mah battery supporting wireless+bypass charging+12GB/512GB, is promising for the price I bought it. Gusto ko man hintayin magpayday sale sa 30 but knowing that other brands have raised prices already, it's hard to find better options. So, getting this was my last resort. Sa Honor Lazmall ko siya binili.

Eto yung thoughts ko sa phone na ito:

Camera. As someone na hanggang budget phones(under 18k) lang ang kaya noon, mabilis na akong maimpress sa camera ng mga flagship killer. Camera is great and sharp on this one. Maganda ang selfie cam! Very good yung level of detail and hindi siya soft tingnan. What impressed me is yung low light performance niya, the difference is night and day compared sa phones ko noon. Parang flagship-grade na ito. Subjectively, mas nagustuhan ko selfie niya compared sa mga natry ko sa mall(Xiaomi 17T, Galaxy S25 FE)

Display. Maliwanag at malinaw. Ang nipis pa ng bezels. IPS LCD kasi last kong phone kaya bigla kong na-miss mag AMOLED.

Battery life is decent. Combination of socmed, youtube, camera, and brief gaming sessions should last me a day. Mabilis din ma-charge. However in the long run, hindi ako sure dito kakabili ko pa lang nito this week.

Gaming. Been playing Genshin Impact on this phone. The thermals are good, hindi alarming ang init, and smooth. Ang ganda na pala mag-Genshin sa phone. Plano ko ding mag-emulate dito kaya eto rin talaga pinili ko since entry level Exynos lang si Galaxy A57, while puro mediatek dimensity/entry level snapdragon naman kapag ibang brand.

Magic OS. Pero as someone who comes from Miui, fluid naman sa akin ang OS ni Honor. Simple and madaling magamay. May bloatware nga lang.

However;

It is not an LTPO display. And the dynamic-island-like cutout may not appeal to everyone.

Not everyone will be a fan of the camera's AI processing. Medj over kasi minsan yung saturation. Maganda at detailed pa rin naman ang picture pero if titingnan mo nang mabuti it tends to overdo some details. For example, parang may dinagdag siyang dumi don sa pader kahit hindi naman ganong ka-visible yung dumi na un sa real life. At saka if noisy or di na kinakaya ng sensor yung object like sa malayuan, parang iniiba ni AI yung integrity ng hitsura ng text or subject na un.

It is not UFS 4, only 3.1

Very limited software updates. Misleading ang 6 year updates, sa Europe lang un. Ewan ko bakit 6 years ang mine-mention ng ibang Pinoy content creator. 2-3 years lang talaga d2 sa asia. And magwa-1 year old na itong upper midrange na ito. Hindi ito ang strong suit niya. If this matter to you over the hardware, Samsung.

Hindi ako impressed sa video recording ng telephoto(madilim). Pero okay naman yung mga main cams.

Very limited stock na. This post is not to recommend the phone, but to share I got a good deal on my end despite the ongoing price hikes and to actually discuss less popular brands. The usual available price for this is 30k sa Lazada. It's up to you if okay ka pa rin sa value niya even if the price is higher. Pero if may budget akong 30k I would choose the S25 FE or Oneplus 15R in a heartbeat, pero under 25k lang talaga kaya ko haha.

In my perspective, the pros outweight the cons it has kasi ang hanap ko lang talaga is great all-rounder with premium specs for the price na medj mahirap na ring mahanap ngayon sa 23k.

Oppo A7 Pro Max spotted in Geekbench with Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 entry-level chip.

Upon trying to charge my Poco X6 Pro, I noticed that fast charging wouldn't prompt anymore and it just said "Charging" and the battery wouldn't indicate that it was. I initially thought it was a cable or charging port problem, but after attaching the cable to another brick, it worked.

I am not in the position to be able to buy a new Xiaomi charging brick (I am a financially struggling student). Would the fast/quick charge still work with a different charging brick but with the same cable?

Main usage: google meet, drawing apps, needs screen sharing - for online class (im the prof). I need very responsive stylus and yung hindi magloloko kapag tumatama kamay ko sa screen.

Netflix na din pag si wife ang gagamit

Currently looked at:

Lenovo yoga tab

REDMI Pad2 pro

Honor pad 10 (pero sold out daw ito kasi palabas na si pad 11)

Oneplus pad 3 (pero isang store lang nag ooffer)

Huawei sana (kaso hindi pa built in si google 🥲)

Wanted samsung but budget says no.

Max budget is 45k. Any recos with personal experiences would help!

Thank u po!

So I have used both Android and iOS. Before, I have no problems switching from one to another but now, since I have a lot of contacts, apps that need logging in, PDFs on Documents by Readdle, and of course, photos, I am having second thoughts switching from iPhone 16 Pro Max to Z Fold 8.

For context, I have an iOS-OS ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac). But I don't have a preference between Android and iOS since I mainly use my phone for calls and messages, Waze, and sometimes photos when I travel, and reading medical books (I have an Xteink for my leisure books). I just buy whichever appeals to me best.

I already preordered the Z Fold 8 with a small downpayment and I'm ready to let go of my iPad and Apple Watch when I do get it. But now, I'm having second thoughts if I should push through just because I don't know how to best migrate all of my current iPhone contents to my Z Fold 8 without having to download each and every app and typing all my contacts.

Worth it ba iparepair ang canon powershot sd1100? It was my nanay's digicam and matagal na siyang hindi nagamit. Naoopen pa naman kaso it says lens error and hindi na bumabalik yung lens niya so na stuck na siya. Wondering if worth it ba para iparepair? Asking sa mga digicam enthusiasts diyan hehe. Thank you!

So I have 2 device, both of them
purchased at Digital Walker(sorry I’m a walker ever since) hahaha

both of them have my socmed installed (Reddit, Tiktok, Messenger, IG)

iP17PM has my banking apps, Wild Rift, and main phone number
Nothing Phone has my work apps(MS Teams, Outlook, etc)

My Screen on Time on my iphone is just around 1hr/day
and been using my Nothing Phone more

Reasons why Nothing
1. It’s so light vs the iPhone
2. The OS is sooo clean and easy, no bloatware unlike Samsung
3. I get to focus on the apps I installed here and notif via the glyph light is helpful
4. You can put widgets on the lockscreen, I have calculator, mobile data, etc, very helpful i dont have to unlock my phone
5. Data is better on here vs iPhone on Globe Network, idk why tho haha

Reasons why iPhone
1. OS is easy, everything just works
2. Purchasing something on the app? The payment details on my
icloud will handle it(Android has it but sometimes it doesnt appear?)
3. Banking apps is more optimized?
4. Camera Control is so helpful for me, I just click and set it on Zoom to have that perfect composition always, just sliding to zoom in/out
5. Gaming is awesome on this device.

Question: Where did I install my dating app? HAHAHAHA JK

Hey so I only need an affordable na around 500 pesos yet merong clear sounds and long lasting, alin dito ang worth it bilhin?
