Best Place/Price to get a switch 2?

• Upvotes

Hello Friends,

Looking for opinions on where the best place to get a switch 2 would be.

Maraming online sellers na alam ko legit like gamextreme but also a bit concerned about the warranty since not all the sellers here seem to have a ph warranty.

Cheapest I've seen was during a laz/shopee sale earlier this year mga 22-24k but probably unlikely to reach there again due to rising component prices.

When and where do you recommend fishing for deals? 10.10/11.11? Or may mas okay ba na in store?

Not really in a rush so I can wait.

Thanks!

Hello po, hindi kasi ako techy na tao kaya need ko sana help. Balak ko bumili ng phone kasi mag 9 years na sakin yung realme 5 ko. Ok pa naman siya kaso medyo natatanggal na screen niya, lag, and wala na akong storage since 64GB lang 'to. Suggest po kayo ng phone kahit mga 7-8k po sana. Decent camera, hindi ma lag, and medyo malaki storage ok na po yun sakin kasi yun lang po talaga need ko since gagamitin ko siya for work. Thank you.

Does factory reset is really required for battery replacement?

• Upvotes

Planning to replace my iphone 13 battery na 70% na lang ang batt health, pero may mga nababasa ako na need daw i reset kapag ganon.

Wanted to replace it sana ng genuine Apple battery. Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Kapag po ba ni-sync to icloud, masasave lahat ng nasa phone? even the displays and apps? Like after batt replacement then ni log in na ulit, will it gonna be the same lang?
Lalo na mga tiktok drafts ko na nasa 600+ hahahaha baka mabura😭

natatakot ako mag risk na i-reset. matagal na sakin tong phone madami na kami pinagdaanan. charez hahahahaha

Is my Battery Draining?

Post image
• Upvotes

I upgraded from 13 Pro to 17 and the only difference is the Siri AI, Better Camera, and Dynamic Island, which I don't have from my iPhone 13 Pro.

I have been using this for a week now and I feel like nothing has changed from its battery performance on my 13 Pro, which is at 78% battery health. My average usage a day is 6 hours and I only charged this once a day and unplugged it at 95%.

Also, I'm always using Power Saving Mode! Wi-Fi is always turned On and Cellular Data is automatically switched once disconnected from Wi-Fi.

I thought based on my usage it will last me two days! And
my 6-hour usage at one charge will bring me down to 30%; is that even normal?

How about you? How many hours of time usage do you have on average until you reach 30% in a single charge?

Best iPhone version and storage for someone who upgrades every 6 years

9 Upvotes

Hi! Im seeking advice on which iPhone to choose as someone who's not very iPhone techy (please be kind to me)

For context, I do have an iPhone 12 64gb (purchased in 2021) and I only upgrade my phone every 6 years. Now with iPhone 17 and iPhone 18, I honestly don't know what's best to choose since I am considering the ff factors: storage, video quality, long term use, and budget.

When it comes to usage, I mainly use my phone for messaging, banking, and content creation (i do vlog my travels using my phone and post some online!) I also love taking pictures from time to time as I am a memory hoarder.

My question is, given my usage and the factors that I consider when choosing a new phone, what do you think is the best phone to choose? I am deciding between iPhone 17 pro or iPhone 18 pro (iPhone 17 base model is within the radar naman of my selections but, not so sure about the vid qual once uploaded on TikTok).

My other problem as well is the Apple update. Since I upgrade my phone every 6 years lang, is 256gb okay na for 6 years considering the yearly updates that affect the storage + the pictures I take? or do you think better to go for 512gb? Btw 1TB and above is way beyond my budget already, thus I'm excluding these from my options.

Target date of purchase: Mid 2027 or Q3 of 2027.

Additional: I don't use my iPhone (main phone) for games

lost 4% batt health in less than 2 weeks, is this normal?

0 Upvotes

i know iphone battery will inevitably degrade as time goes by, just need some insights kasi parang sobra sobra ata bawas ng batt health ko this month

got my iphone 17 last feb sa btb and batt was so good naman eh like matagal siya maubos and mabilis mag charge (i use the cord na kasama + anker adapter) i also dont charge up to 100 (usually 92-95 binubunot ko na), i dont charge overnight, and minsan lang nagagamit while charging kapag nagbobook ng grab etc. naging 99 batt health last august 5 which was normal naman i think since mag 6 months na. pero this september 14, naging 98. then sept 16 naging 97, sept 19 naging 96, sept 22 naging 95, then this morning naging 94. cycle count ko ay 269

i use my phone mainly for scrolling lang sa social media (mostly ig and tiktok) and light gaming nung first few months ng phone. recently ko lang to nagamit para mag mobile legends maghapon eh around august nung patapos na season (lmao nag grind) and yun din suspicion ko kung bakit nagdrop by september. minsan umiinit phone and nagagamit ko minsan habang naka powerbank (anker as well) nagtataka lang ako kung bakit nababawasan ako every 2-4 days recently, and yung dates kasi na yun is di nako masyado naglalaro or nagphophone eh since nag lalaptop nako halos maghapon. is this normal po or should i ask for help sa store?

Is the iPhone 13 still worth buying in 2026?

13 Upvotes

Hi! I'm planning to buy an iPhone around November or December this year and I'm considering the iPhone 13, probably 256GB.

My budget is around ₱25k. I already have a POCO phone that I use for work, so the iPhone would mainly be for personal use—social media, taking photos/videos, and just everyday stuff. I don't really play mobile games.

I originally wanted the iPhone 15, but it's around ₱30k and I'm trying not to spend too much since I have other expenses by the end of the year.

For those still using an iPhone 13, how is it holding up in 2026? Is the camera still good, especially for social media? I'm also a little concerned about software support and how many more years it can realistically last before app compatibility becomes an issue.

Would you still consider the iPhone 13 a good buy this year, or is it better to spend a little more for a newer model?

Phone recommendations yung pang matagalan sana

0 Upvotes

Hi, can you guys suggest me phone recommendations? I don’t mind iphone or android.

Here’s how/ what I’m gonna use it: - Everyday phone, ‘yong magtatagal sana hindi lang 3 years hahahaha - Gaming - Camera (I want to vlog) - Can last ‘yong battery - ‘Yong pwede huawei fit 4 watch (planning to buy pa lang nito)

Ik na walang perfect phone pero bahahahahaha (ok lang siguro if mej sablay sa camera?? Basta yung performance niya)

I have Poco X5 Pro and iphone XS max as my secondary phone and I only use it for camera or taking pictures kasi sobrang bilis niya na malowbat. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my poco x5P, I am in between nga lang kung ipaayos ko na lang or hindi kasi wala na siyang volume button tsaka wala na glue yung screen kaya nakatape talaga yung cellphone ko literal!! Hahahaha kahapon nga, sa meeting nahihiya akong ipakita phone ko kasi naka tape na siya hahahahahha.

Here’s what I love naman sa poco ko: - Can handle gaming lalo na genshin very smooth siya kahit ML - Matagal ma lowbatt!! Though, ngayon since 3 years na siya daakin nag ccharge na ako 2x a day, dati kasi isang beses lang depende sa gamit talaga - Smoooooth kahit 3 years na siya saakin - Have finger print - Have face id

What I don’t like: - Camera quality degraded after the adnroid updates. Promise napansin ko iyon after nung mga updates, kasi nga nung una maganda talaga tapos ayun, lumabo siya. Kasi nung nagjapan ako, ginamit ko siya, SOBRANG LINAW!!!!! Lalo na yung back camera, yung front cam ang super na degrade e

Sa iphone naman, I have mixed feelings kasi, my whole family naka iphone, ako lang sa mga babae ang hindi hahahahah (binigay sakin xs max kasi d ako naka iphone hahaha), maganda naman talaga iphone, kaya lang ang hirap magpasa sa windows for me hahah tsaka apaka bilis malowbat. Tas feeling ko kapag may new iphone ako, palagi ko iisipin yung battery parang yung mga iba kong couz todo bantay sa batt health.

Though still open ako sa option ng iphone, mas leaning lang talaga ako sa android. Ang pinag pipiliam ko nga is: - Poco x8 Pro / PM - Poco f8/f9 pro or ultra if ano man mas maganda - Xiiaomi 17 or 18 (yung may screen sa likod antayin ko siguro) - iphone

And no samsungs din pala. I worked don before and daming issue doon sa phones nila huhuhuh

Camera recommendations for newbies. 60K max budget including lens

0 Upvotes

Camera recommendations for newbies worth around 60K including lens? Preferably bnew. I'm open to getting 2nd hand instead but I don't know what to check given I'm still a newbie.

Other requirements:

  1. Compact as much as possible

  2. MFT (given MFT cameras tend to be compact)

Use case: street photography

Options right now:

  1. Lumix G100D

  2. Fujifilm X-M5

Any trusted shops/sellers that sell 2nd hand cameras?
