Easy Bros. And thanks for pointing things out to me. More importantly on the thread to improve my photography skills

You welcome bro. The 48mp camera on the Redmi Note 7 is a 12mp camera interpolated to 48mp. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it with time. Just that it's not all about the megapixels, rather, it's about the person handling it.

emeraldlife:


Am so sorry sir. You're the bomb! It went well. With that I have been able to try different ROMs on this device of mine.

Thanks for the help

Ok... You installed gcam?

I paid attention to that statement when I came across a movie. The guy was even using a Porsche. he was like... a manufacturer will bring out a product and loud its attributes and good features. After a while, they release an update and then give you reasons to hop on to the new release and you start feel archaic. This they normally do by pointing out the faults in the "old school" model that they were silent about, earlier on. Indeed, you can never catch up wit technology. Just get a piece that you can endure "thick and thin" with

It's called obsolescence.

Obsolescence is the state of being which occurs when an object, service, or practice is no longer wanted even though it may still be in good working order.

They try to make the piece of tech or item sold to you previously obsolete so you can buy a new one.

There's several types but in the smartphone world, the two most important are
1. Planned obsolescence
2. Forced obsolescence

Planned obsolescence is what you have mentioned earlier, when an OEM builds flaws into their own products which cause it to wear out over a certain period of time

Forced obsolescence is when the individual is forced to update by either a radical change of technology e.g Micro USB to USB type C or when Apple used updates to slow older phones down so much that they lagged badly and the individual are forced to get new devices.

Forced obsolescence can also be achieved through functional obsolescence, that is when certain functionalities are withdrawn from older devices like telling Devs to stop working on a particular phone or like Google withdrawing for Android 4.4 downwards or Microsoft withdrawing from Windows 7 downwards. All na to make money on top our heads

Europe is pushing a legal injunction to makes phones last at least 5 years or more because as of now, the best you can hope for is 2 years. Anything else is OYO.

Can anyone help me with latest gcam for RN8. If you can also link me to the gcam group on telegram. shazzar_dee

Thanks I've seen it

My redmi note 5A battery goes flat at a very fast rate now guess it's because I use a 2A charger for it.
Please is there any solution to it.

Let it drain completely then charge while switched off.

That is it, i buy good technology that serves me well and when it can no longer serves me the way i want, i move on to d next.
Personaly i buy the best at the moment knowing fully well that it may take me longer time to buy another one or sometimes what will serve me what future can offer. For instsnce i'm gamer so i buy phones with the best gpu and processor that can handle the most powerful games that may be released in a year or two ( not necessarily the most expensive) but the one that can get the job done.
That is why i normally discourage people from buying 2 or 3 years old samsung, iphone or so called classy brands because most of the time the technology has suppased them and they may not be able to handle the future.
I will rather buy quality but not fancy present, than quality fancy past.
I see people flash me 3 years old iphone that they just bought for 150k and i laugh within me because the phone is slower and most likely will not be capable of handling what is coming in december, where as u can get present day phone that could handle what is coming in december next year for same amount.

You deserve a beer my Guy

Qsand:

I thought as much. You actually do not have anything whatsoever to type.

Or you want to argue that the camera on the Redmi Note 7 is not 12mp and not interpolated to 48mp?

Or that the beauty of a picture from a camera is not dependent on the person handling it?

Which one do you wanna dispute?

Let's test your knowledge of camera.

Make corrections where necessary instead of cancelling out a valid opinion or you overlook.

CC: atheistandproud, you have someone that needs tutoring too.

Not totally true though, although I've converted 9 people, I've also met people that use redmi note 8 and they don't even know there's a thread on NL.
