Serious question tho, hardware issue lang ba talaga ang sanhi sa green lines ng mga Samsung phones? Or factor din ang user habits?

So nag scroll ako sa TikTok at naalala ko ulit na notorious ang Samsung sa mga green line issues 😐😐😐, meron pa naman akong Galaxy A54 since 2023. Wala namang green lines ang phone ko so far and hindi ko talaga ito ginagamit pag nag chacharge para hindi mag overheat kasi overheating daw ang cause ng green lines ni Samsung based sa mga nababasa ko. Wanna know your insights on this guys..

Graduation Gift from My Mom: iPhone 17 Pro Max

I upgraded from an iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I still can't believe I finally have the latest model. Growing up, we couldn't afford things like this, so this means so much to me. I'm incredibly grateful to my mom for making this possible.

Compasia Buying Experience

Share ko lang buying experience ko sa Compasia para sa mga may doubts (medyo lengthy)

First, very legit sila. Sa website nila ako bumili and via qrph (maribank) ang payment

Timeline:

June 22 - nagbrowse lang ako randomly sa website nila and nakita ko bigla may 15 pro with applewatch na free, excellent condition (nakalagay na apple series watch 4 and up so inexpect mo series 4 ang dadating). I dont care about the watch but i still ordered it around 3:30pm

Kinagabihan, nag email sila na nanghingi ng valid ID and screenshot ng payment method and selfie

June 23 - confirmed and sabi i ship na nila nung afternoon

Then nagbigay na sila ng LBC tracking number pero di pa sya natatrack (nasa email din naman nila na normal yun)

June 24 - no updates kahit isa. Chinecheck ko lang tracking number

June 25 - chineck ko pagkagising and na track na sya. Im from Batangas so inexpect ko mga 4-5 days

Then nung tanghali pagcheck biglang nakalagay "will be delivered within the day" so nagulat ako kasi ambilis

3pm delivered na.

Checked lahat and "excellent" condition is ok na ok (may onting scratches sa screen na nakikita lang pag inilawan).

86%bh and 783 cycles

Yun lang issue nya wala na iba parang brand new nadin in terms of cosmetics

Yung applewatch na dumating is Applewatch series 9 excellent condition din bh is 88%. Wala akong pakielam sa watch so sold it for 6.5k so parang nakuha ko lang din yung 15 pro ng 24.5k

Very excellent experience ko sa kanila though yung mga nababasa ko na may mga issues is mga samsung units nila.

More than 1 week na and oks padin yung unit so if may doubts kayo sa kanila, sana makatulong to

Yun lang thanks!

Samsung S23 (previous phone) vs. iPhone 17 (current phone)

Background: I’m very much aware of how both operating systems work. My first ever phone was a Samsung, had years of other brands, went almost 5 years of using my first iPhone which was the 11, went back to Samsung with their S23, and now back to iPhone with their 17.

“Why upgrade from S23 to 17? Why not S26?”. Well as u can see, I have 2 green lines. In our hot climate, A brand prone to these issues gives me anxiety.

“Why not other android brands?”. Prices have been hiking up and honestly, android flagships these days are getting close, if not priced higher compared to the base 17. If we’re talking about longevity, I think Apple has always been superior and retains its value longer. Also, OneUI is the only android OS that can go against iOS’ optimization and fluidity while being very much customizable and with added software features which iOS just doesnt have. But again, green lines give me anxiety, so iPhone it is.

Honestly, I do miss OneUI. I’ll say it again, Samsung’s OneUI is the best OS for any smartphone. Its like having both an Android and iPhone combined into one. I miss so much of it, that I still cant get rid of my S23 and keep using it from time to time. Unfortunately, living in the Philippines is a threat to their devices. The phone heating up would just make you nervous thinking it might pop up lightsabers.

Conclusion: iPhone is still king of optimization, fluidity, longevity, raw power, and video capabilities. If you dont give a sh*t about any other thing, get it. But if you want the best Android experience on a phone, Samsung is the best way to go (As long as you keep it on a lower temperature.)

MacBook Neo still available on "old pricing" via PMC website

https://preview.redd.it/jam2d6bm48bh1.png?width=2102&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea340d7322ccded984670814bcaae79448eae7c8

For those who want to buy the Neo on old pricing, you can still do so via the Power Mac website. This is as part of their "Campus-Ready Offers" promotion (from July 2 - 6, 2026).

You can buy the Neo for the price of:
256 GB - 40,990PHP (vs 49,990PHP sa Apple website)

512 GB with Touch ID - 47,990PHP (vs 56,990PHP sa Apple website)

You need to bundle it with accessories for you to get it at that price.

https://preview.redd.it/cdn4fgij58bh1.png?width=2172&format=png&auto=webp&s=867fc44586176798bc097b0011b82d07b4a563bc

The current cheapest available accessory to bundle to get at the "old Neo pricing" is the Magic Mouse, which just costs 490 pesos.

https://preview.redd.it/bbjb1qes68bh1.png?width=916&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f7ef2b28a77515f232e0c6b8105d86c80101779

Upon checkout (payment in full at least), this cheapest combination would let the price of the cheapest Neo (with a free Magic Mouse) at the price of 39,980PHP (at this time of writing).

Garmin 165 vs Huawei Fit 5 vs GT 6?

Anong best watch po for nurses? We're not allowed to use our phones kasi kaya it'll be a huge help to receive messages to check if important and also for calculations.

I'm not a runner or into outdoor activities but it's a plus point na rin kasi balak ko mag start running in the near future. Thanks!

I can't Decide

Local shop did a discount on this two variants of Loq 15; IRX9 and ARP9.

I'm a little techy guy, so I have little knowledge about the efficiency between 13450 and 7 7435hs and their max heat output, considering the ram increase the IRx9 only has 8gb (I'm planning on upgrading to 16gb) while the ARP9 has already 12gb (Which i have the possibility to sell). Performance wise, is it really worth it for the Amd considering its an older Zen 3 chip and slightly less raw performance.

Note:

I have Llano v12 cooler

Bakit yung ibang Apple products na binebenta is mura?

Hindi pa ako nagresearch sa mga legit na seller pero may nakita ako rito sa reddit na nagsuggest na bumili sa Boss D gadget if gusto makalessen ng price for apple products.

I am just curious lang bakit mas lessen yung price ng mga seller na katulad nila Boss D gadgets and Tito Gadget sa Tiktok?

If meron kayong alam na authorized seller and original brandnew iphones & ipads na nagbebenta na mas makakalessen ng price, pabulong naman poHQHAHAH
