Discussion Comfy Café #14

@Gobb whomst 5090 you getting from? which brand?

 

Considering it is an active health hazard, it should actually be criminal.

You can't even call it a mobile phone when it is utter dog-shit at the very first and basic thing it is supposed to do: picking up usable cellular signals.

Yeah. My sister wanted to get an S24 (or an S23, if she could) after her S20 died on her after a bad fall from a staircase. I and her husband convinced her to instead get the A55 for much less (he was also getting one anyway) and she has been very happy with it so far. They both ordered one for each in two different colours

If this is an issue across devices, then it is indeed a network provider issue, not a device issue.

A54 I have tried out myself. So has my bro-in-law. It has generally acceptable to good reception in most areas. Weaker than the A35 with the same SOC? Sure. But it's still usable. It suffers only in areas where network coverage is moderate to low, and other devices also suffer the same issues. I would not advise it only if you live in a remote rural locale, where you absolutely should get something with a Qualcomm X50/X60/X70 series modem (which entails Snapdragon 6/7/8 series SOC only). But for city, suburbs, big town - with moderate or higher coverage, A54 should be okay. It works well in rural Bangalore and rural Mysore even.

By the way, what Samsung device do you have? Exynos or Snapdragon variant?

It's a small office for a small family-run concern. But, yeah, point still stands.

 

Will you bet getting the 5070?

Asus Nvidia GPU quality has gone down a bit since 2014. They're not shit, but not as good as they used to be. MSI is more than okay for performance, but of average build quality. Gigabyte in general make good stuff, and you can't really go wrong with their GPUs, unless you want to overclock. You could get a Zotac, but they tend to run very hot, as far as I recall, and I don't know how they've maintained their quality.

A55 is an upgrade in some regards, actually. It comes with a memory card slot (a very fast one as well) so my sister can shove a card in there for extra storage once it gets filled with shit (she filled up her S20 in a year and a half). A55 also has far better battery life. Sure, you get slightly slower charging and no wireless charging, but that is worth it for two extra hours of screen on time?

The only downside is that the device is huge for her tiny hands (and a case only adds to the bulk) and heavy (nearly a quarter kilogram with a case).

Base S23 is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which means it has the Qualcomm X70 modem. It has the strongest network reception strengths of any mobile phone modem on the market right now. S23 also has very well tuned antennas (nine of them). If you have shit reception with that, then the network provider is just beyond shit. This is not your phone's fault.

Funny thing: Our office is actually a 50 metre squared (roughly) residential house converted to an office. You were spot on with the area as well.

 

you just killed my gigabyte dreams I was thinking about getting gigabyte, I don't want Asus as well...

ya man I'm not like Gobblin, I just want 5070 ti, I'm a chill guy ya know

 

Gigabyte is good. It's only if you try to overclock yourself that you run into issues. At stock settings, they're good.

"I'm a chill guy"
This is false, you little shit

 

I like my lights

 

shut up you vampire

also what motherboard you have I forgot ASUS?

 

and you are getting what?
