Especially for people who don't care that much, but just want something that works, lasts a while, and is a relatively good experience.

@kyriakos098 2 жыл бұрын

my go to strategy for good budget phones as a big brother of 8 siblings, I can safely say, as long is it has a snapdragon chip not older than 2 years and a 4200mah battery, its a good phone. For laptops, as long as it has a cpu not older than 2 years and ABSOLUTELY has an IPS screen, you're good to go. If you ever see an MX graphics card for +100 bucks, dont do it. It will probably have worse graphics than the integrated graphics on the cpu. If you need a gpu for a bit heavier tasks, only look for GTX graphics on laptops. 1050 being the minimum. (Bonus note for phones, if you plan on keeping the phone for more than 2 years, avoid AMOLED/OLED screens... they ALWAYS burn in at 1-2 years and white becomes yellow be it a 200$ phone or a 800$ one.)

One thing to mention since this was made is that Samsung updated the S6 Lite to a new processor.

Especially since the price remains the same.

I love budget videos like this, taking an entire market and finding the best bang for your buck out of the bunch. Only issue I have is that this video will most likely be well out of date in a couple years, so just having a yearly budget series, for phones, laptops, etc. would be great so that the budget market is always transparent and people looking for new devices always either have somewhere to get good info, or something to look forward to.

The tablet space is pretty stagnant and non competitive. Just change the year model and it will probably still hold true. a refurbed 2022 iPad will probably be the best pick in $250 (or maybe a bit more for inflation) in 2026, Samsung will probably still have the best tablet option in the android side in 2026, fire tablet ‘26 being the “I just need something to watch videos and search the web with” device. ONN being the cheapest of all options and probably the one you should just pass on. And then insert X variable unknown brand tablet that sits in the mediocre middle, not too good or too bad for the money. If this video was made 4 years ago, you’d roughly pick from the same choices. The tablet space is truly unremarkable and non-innovative even in the higher end. iPads and Samsung are the only ones duking it out and iPad really doesn’t have to try that hard to beat Samsung.

(And no I did not tell her the price) A lot of people don’t understand, idiot proofing is pretty important. And yes, the upfront cost is expensive but that iPad has lasted for 5 years now with not a single call from her for help in diagnostics/troubleshooting. That saves me a lot of headaches than if I got a cheap crappy noname just because “it’s cheap” 5 years back.

My first tablet was the Onn tablet you showed. It was a good tablet while it lasted, but three months after, the battery was horrid. Even while plugged into the charger, it barely lasted 20 minutes and some days I couldn't even turn it on. I don't recommend at all. I love my S6 lite. It came with the pen ( though I don't remember it coming with replacement tips but I may be wrong ) and the pen is great! The tablet comes with a drawing app, courtesy of Samsung, and while it's not the best for detailed stuff, it's great for a beginner. Battery is working well so far after 4 months, it lasts all day and I use it pretty much all the time seeing as my schoolwork is on there ( I'm homeschooled so ). And it has a lot of storage. All my videos and apps fit well. Recommend!

The S6 Lite is one of the closest things to a reasonable tablet where I live. Almost everything else is either way overpriced, or utter crap, often both (even it sits at 335€, which gives you an idea of the market). I was lucky that I pulled a trigger on a different model during a pre-order period, so I got a newer, faster tablet with a bigger and better screen (but no bundled pen) for slightly less and it turned out to not be a dud. As for the older generation, my wife's grandparents have a tablet that the telecom gave them for free and it's just as bad as you imagine. It's at least relatively large, so they can read the news on it and it sort of does the job for video calls, although, when we call them, it doesn't always ring as the poor 1GB Android thingy sometimes puts Viber and Skype to sleep. I was in a state of shock when that thing died and my brother in law bought them the same one, but his reasoning was that they are at least familiar with that one and I couldn't argue with that. They are both over eighty, never owned a computer (I'm not sure about smartphones), and, you explain something to them, they get it, do it right themselves, but they often forget in a few days and they actually live in another country so it's not easy to pop by when they need their memory refreshed or have a technical issue.
