Recently I got the Samsung S25 after using OnePlus 7T for 6.5 years almost.

Not even a single day I noticed any kind of issue with my Oneplus 7T. The only reason why I had to change from 7T was due to the battery bulge. If not I would have used it for the next couple of years as well.

Obviously, you need to compromise with the features and the hardware as well. It has become a very difficult job for someone to get a perfect phone now a days.

Major difference that I have noticed after switching from Oneplus 7T is that, the speakers on S25 aren't loud enough, they obviously have some better sound quality and depth but not loud. Even though I put the S25 in max volume they still feel like 70% loudness of the Oneplus 7T.

Also the haptics, i find the haptics on the S25 to be poor over Oneplus 7T. You get huge satisfaction while typing on 7T where as, on S25 there's no such thing.

Overall i find this as a good upgrade, I am in love with the One UI. Almost everyday you get to discover a new feature and you feel very excited when you know you can even do such a thing. But the only thing is that you have to compromise with few features or hardware (Speaker, Haptics and Alert slider (RIP ALERT SLIDER 😭).

I have got my Samsung S25 delivered yesterday and Amazon has charged me additional ₹199 saying open box inspection. Why do they force someone to pay additional ₹199 just to get your box opened by some delivery person?

It even ruins your excitement of opening the box yourself. All they do is just open the package on behalf of you.

WHY AMAZON, WHY? It has to be optional, someone might be willing to pay for it and some one may not.

Do you think this is someother trick by amazon just to make more money from the consumers?

They are already charging ₹5 additionally on every buy saying "Market place fees". Amazon is becoming very greedy now a days.

Even when it comes to prime video, even after paying top tier subscription I have to pay additional ₹600 or so, so that I can avoid getting ads while I watch a movie or a series.

Do you think this is the right way of looting money from the consumers?

Things like these have to be optional. I just wanted to share my frustration with y'all!!

Would like to read your opinion too! ;)

I watched Peddi yesterday at the theatre after a very long time and I felt the movie to be good. I personally felt it isn't as worse as people are claiming it to be. I had very low expectations before going into the theatre, after looking at all the mixed reviews all over social media.

But surprisingly i liked it. Definitely this isn't perfect movie it has its flaws too.

The Major Issue: The Female Lead & Consent

Especially the portrayal and objectification was too problematic. I felt bad that the directors are progressing backwards. For years i thought Kiara Advani's intro scene from VVR was the worst, but this movie has managed to cross that line.

And I am glad that Buchi Babu has realised and now they are trimming those scenes from the movie.

How can someone kiss a girl without her consent? That felt worse. How did Ram Charan agree to do it? Are the actors being too blind?

Coming to what I liked:

1. Jaggu Bhai's character it was very impactful the screen time is less.

2. Ram Charan as peddi. He was too good in his role.

3. AR Rahman's Songs and BGM. BGM elevated few scenes.

4. Rathnavelu's cinematography as well. Especially few aerial shots at the beginning made me question how the hell did they capture those.!

5. Climax too, i dont usually tear until a scene is very very emotional and the climax literally brought some tears in my eyes. I connected to it emotionally.

What i did not like:

1. Obviously Jahnavi Kapoor. She was used only for skin show and nothing else.

TFI should move on from writing such characters. Even female leads deserve a well written character. Someone like Ritu Varma's from Pelli choopulu. Like a very well written strong female lead.

2. I dont know who does this casting shit. But we should literally stop casting these Hindi actors man. While i was watching the movie especially in the first half of the movie, i was very distracted couldnt concentrate on the movie for most of the time. TFI has got many talented actors why not give them a chance instead of choosing someone from North India just for PAN india appeal!

I dont know whether this is the problem with the theatre which i have gone to. But most of the dialogues weren't clear at all.

3. Most of the potential actors like Rao Ramesh and few well known side artists have been under utilized.

4. Placement of the songs too. Don't get me wrong I like the songs but they are like speed breakers.

Conclusion:

Spoiler

>!Should appreciate Ram Charan for accepting the character Peddi especially for what he does at the pre climax. I am sure most of the main stream heroes wouldnt agree for such move forward the end.!<

Overall i personally found this movie to be good irrespective of what everyone is saying. 😁 I may consider watching this for the 2nd time.

I would rate this movie a solid 7.8/10.

My budget is 6000rs and I am looking for the best TWS possible under that price range. I have Oneplus Buds 4 in my mind but they only support LHDC codec and not the universal LDAC. If I switch from Oneplus phone in the future that's gonna be a problem.!

I need your opinion folks!

*I lost my previous TWS Oppo Enco air 2 pro. ☹️ They were so goated!

I am looking to buy a phone under 60,000. I found couple of sensible options, which are Oneplus 15R and Samsung S25. I had Oneplus13s as well in my mind but ruled it out cause it doesn't have IP68 rating. Where as the other two phones come with proper IP rating and reliable ultrasonic fingerprint scanners.. But right now I am unable to decide which one to get.

My top prorities:

1. Best software experience.
2. Good for long term use (5 years atleast)
3. Decent camera camera performance.

Please help me in choosing a best phone. 😭 (If you have even better options you are free to recommend. Except for IQOO, Oppo and Vivo ;D)
