Hi everyone from India,

I’m planning to gift my mother a new phone for her birthday and would really appreciate some recommendations.

Preferably ₹15,000–₹20,000, and priorities are:

\* \*\*Good battery life:\*\* She watches a lot of YouTube, bhajans, etc., so I’d like something that can comfortably last good during video usage.

\* \*\*Good durability/drop protection:\*\* She often uses her phone while cooking or doing household work, and unfortunately it sometimes falls on the floor 😅. So a phone with a strong build/display and decent resistance against accidental drops would be ideal.

\* \*\*Samsung preferred:\*\* Her current phone is also a Samsung, and she’s already comfortable with Samsung’s UI, settings, and apps. I’d rather not make her learn an entirely different interface if possible.

So basically, I’m looking for the \*\*best Samsung phone around ₹15k–₹20k with good battery life and durability\*\*. Camera and gaming performance aren't major priorities.

Samsung would definitely be my first choice, but if there’s **another brand/model** that is significantly better for these requirements, I’m open to considering it as well.

which model do you consider the best ?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! Since I’m an international student, I’m about to start my bachelor’s in Germany after finishing Studienkolleg, so far i had a private insurance and I need to switch to public health insurance. I’ve compared the big names—TK, AOK, Barmer—but I’m still unsure. Cost isn’t a big deal since they’re more or less similar.

I’m looking for the one with the broadest coverage, great support, and extra perks—maybe bonus check-ups or something like gym benefits.

Also, I’ve heard conflicting things about skin issues—like with TK, some say skin problems are seen as cosmetic and not covered. What if it’s a real skin condition—like infection, eczema, or fungus? Are those covered? And what about dental—do they cover real dental issues (not cosmetic) fully or partially?

I’m can speak good German, so language isn’t an issue. I’d love to hear your experiences or advice! I’d really appreciate insights from other students who’ve been through this. What did you choose and why? Any specific benefits you’ve found helpful as a student? Especially if it helped during your studies or made your life easier in any way!

Hey everyone, I need advice. We just finished cleaning our apartment and found several items that are completely non-functional: a broken TV (no physical damage, just doesn’t work), a non-working music system, a broken vacuum cleaner, some abandoned utensils, and a mattress with torn covers. Am I allowed to place these next to our dumpsters, or is there a proper way to dispose of such things in Germany? because we have no sufficient time and place to store them and wait for som BASTLER or to do VERSCHENKEN, I want to make sure I'm following the right process so i do not get trapped in some fine . Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m starting at RWTH Aachen this winter semester and I’ve applied for student dorms. I know the waiting lists are long! I picked my dorms based on cost and a shared apartment preference (3-4 people), but in the last month, I’ve noticed the waiting numbers barely moving.

I’m now open to any dorm with earlier availability, even if it’s a larger shared apartment. If any of you know dorms that might have shorter waiting times or a chance of earlier allocation, I’d love to hear your suggestions so I can update my list. Thanks a lot! Btw i will also be considering WG-s later on

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Galaxy Watch 7 (44 mm, Bluetooth) and wore it last night for sleep tracking

I went to sleep around 00:30 and woke up around 08:30. When I checked the watch in the morning, it showed that I had burned about 650 kcal (total calories).

I understand that our bodies burn calories while sleeping due to basic functions like breathing, heart activity, brain function, etc., but 650 kcal over roughly 8 hours of sleep seems quite high to me.

For reference:

Male, 21 years old

Height: 173 cm

Weight: 58 kg

Is this amount normal for the total calories shown by the Galaxy Watch, or could there be an issue with the watch or its calibration? Has anyone experienced something similar with the Watch 7?

I'm wondering whether this is expected behavior or if I should consider contacting Samsung or making a warranty claim.
