Well it's been 2 years since I got this device and this is my experience

It's a 6800H 3070Ti (150W) omen

It has given me a fair share of - well - more issues than what it actually served be

Performance is peak - - had zero issues with it - whatever I throw at it - it eats it up and throws back the required result - I'd tell it's still relevant upto today's standards with frame gen mods in games - and even raw rasterization and Machine learning for that matter

Windows felt like the only bottleneck when it came to performance

Fans are loud yes - but I don't really mind it as long as it pumps that heat out - thermal paste replaced every 6-8 months - temps usually stay around 78-82c for the GPU running at 130W - can go as low as 74c if the weather/the room was cool

Never had any performance issues in games where the laptop throttled causing frame drops (With the exception of Until Dawn where the laptop shut down twice coz of the heat - it was a pretty hot day as well)

Really good display - I love how it's almost like an OLED display when autobrightness is enabled and the 165hz is just muah

Speakers are really horrible tbh - sure they are loud and uninstalling the proprietary drivers and installing standing Realtek drivers helped - but the speakers have no bass - mushy mids and very minimal highs - Phone speakers sound better in my opinion

Battery was really good at the start - I'd get 8 hours on any given day from 100-0 - it has degraded to 4-6 hours now considering the fact that it always stays plugged in - but hey - as long as it can support power cuts - I'm fine with it

Storage is fine - it uses a Micron SSD - which gets really hot upon use and starts throttling and the only thermal solution HP gave was a thermal pad attached to the chassis - cheap cost cutting by HP

Build quality - WORST the most fragile piece of electronic I've ever used in my life - the display flexes to just opening or closing the lid and the display wobbles even to the slightest breeze - heck my cheaper Asus notebook did not have such bad build quality

The keyboard flexes with the slightest of pressure applied on it

The mute button's light stopped working all of a sudden

One of the speakers started cracking at certain frequencies (mitigated to a certain level by uninstallinh HP drivers)

Cost cutting in the most diabolical places seen - the WiFi card is attached right below one of the heatpipes without any shielding provided to the WiFi/Bluetooth adaptor (waiting for the day it fails coz of the heat)

The Ram modules have no heatsink or even shielding provided - I've seen legions and ROGs come with a metal covering on the RAM modules

SSD has literally no cooling solution provided - even my old Asus had some kind of aluminium sheet attached on the SSD which kind of acts as a passive heatsink

**Now yea - speaking of the problems**

It's all with the build quality and the general quality of the parts and the whole laptop itself

Within 6 months of purchase I had an issue where connecting anything to the USB - C port would just crash the laptop and upon inspection - it was a rusted USB port?

I don't even live in an area where there's excessive moisture - it's always dry here and I don't get water or food around the laptop - the whole motherboard had to be changed for that which was done under warranty

8th month since purchase - the right hinge started clicking upon use - and while I tried to change it under warranty - HP instead replaced the keyboard stating that the rivets on the top part of the laptop were broken - - and in the process of fixing that - they broke the display and they ended up replacing that as well - but refused to fix the bezels they broke in the process and yea the lower bezel now collects dust which I have to clean often

They never replaced the hinges till the end - and yea it still clicks upon usage and my warranty ended - did not purchase extended warranty or ADP coz it costs almost 1/4th the price of the laptop (waiting for it to snap one day)

Now one of the display supporting brackets on the side of the laptop disintegrated on its own and half of it fell off

So yea it's technically a 1-1.5 year old laptop with its motherboard, keyboard, display being changed - but we call it 2 years

Despite the shitty build quality - id give it to HP for designing a lovely cooling system that does not fail even when the weather is harsh - the LOQs or Legions I've seen immediately hit 87c upon load and start throttling during load coz of the heat here

Hope the laptop lasts for another 4-5 years before something inevitably breaks

I mean whoever complains than the phone(3) has mid or trash cameras - id just tell you have a serious skill issue

Infact all I needed to do was set a custom focus, set up a bit of lighting and some touch up in editing

I don't think if I've noticed this before - coz I've not really used my phone in the dark properly - but today I noticed this weird thing where above 50% brightness it gets a weird green tint - or brightness jump (I can't really tell) - which vanished when brightness is below 50%

Should I claim my warranty?

Or is this a common thing with all the phone(3)s

I noticed this in the dark with any grey background

This might be completely unrelated to this subreddit but the core issue is still the same - I feel with enough pressure if the govt. nudges this might be our first step towards setting a standard towards responsibility of the clown show they perform

This makes a new standard for accountability

All people need is reward - people refrain from getting involved coz they think it's of no use causing a vicious cycle of people not supporting enough to cause enough pressure leading to negative results

If we provide enough pressure and the government nudges people will find the incentive to criticise the government and yea issues related to ethanol can also be raised - but on a much larger scale

Please show as much as support as you can - whichever way possible

These buds are around 2 years old now and I'm losing chsrge faster than before

It used to last around 6 hours on a single charge (LDHC, 3D and ANC max)

Now I'm losing like 70-80% within 3 hours of use with the same usage and one bud seems to lose charge faster than the others

I'm quite new to owning TWS (I've only used headphones and my XB700 from 2020 still runs for 20 hours on a single charge) - I'm not sure if this behaviour is normal

Can the battery be replaced?

Can I prolong the life of these buds both usage wise and overall life coz I can't afford new buds atp

Thereused to bean option where I can add images to the image - even crop the image i want to add

But now its missing after the oneui 8.5 update

How do I get it back

Galaxy tab S9 (US version on the latest update)

Well - Thanks to all those who helped me come to a decision to buy the phone off Amazon for 42k (it was not preactivated)

It was pretty hard after losing the phone(1)

But hey, I'm loving the phone (3) so far - - 10-12 hours of SOT, stunning display, stunning camera, and ofc the software - love every bit of it

Was not a fan of the design at the start - but it grew over me and I'm loving it now

Guys so yea - the issue is prevalent and it's mostly not a hardware issue where a bad quality display is used

​

And can be fixed for the time by enabling "Disable HW overlay" in developer's settings

​

This has downsides on its own - higher battery usage and random stutters (your display is probably defective if this does not fix the green tint)

​

But the long term fix is flooding their feedback with this issue - I have sent them a feedback in the feedback settings and they seem to be ready to take in the suggestion - as they did not pull a Corporate bullcrap where they ask for invoice and shit instead they simply wanted more information on the issue

​

So yea phone(3) users - it's not a lot of work - it takes around 5 minutes at most

​

Play any HDR video of your choice - preferably the one with black areas - take a picture and upload it to them referring the issue - this is the only way we could get this fixed
