My new Oukitel K10 arrived yesterday...

Even though it's physically larger than the old K10000, it's actually 50g lighter

Better specs, 11000mAh battery instead of 10000mAh, blah blah blah

It's a huge black monolith and I love it for that

I'll get better pics some time...

Thats a beast of a battery, how are you getting on with it?

AlephZero · **Reply #182 on:** March 19, 2019, 07:25:24 PM

Oh it's handling itself, sunday before last I charged it, last sunday it was on 15% and I had fiddled with it quite a lot,
put it on the charger, about an hour and a half later it was on full charge again

(It's a 5V/5A charger...

)

AlephZero · **Reply #183 on:** March 19, 2019, 07:28:30 PM

Other than that... It's more of the same, really...

I mean it's 50grams lighter than the K10000, but mostly the same experience.

Sure it's faster and the touch screen is more responsive.

I do like it

Glad to hear you are getting along with your new phone, Aleph

Poncho65 · **Reply #185 on:** March 19, 2019, 07:55:03 PM

I know you have said somewhere else, but what is the screen size of that thing

AlephZero · **Reply #186 on:** March 19, 2019, 07:59:13 PM

6"

18:9, 2160x1080

Kev D · **Reply #187 on:** March 19, 2019, 10:15:32 PM

What version of Android does it have?

AlephZero · **Reply #188 on:** March 20, 2019, 06:51:38 PM

Android 7 Nougat, not sure if there will be and upgrade to Oreo

Happy Gilmore · **Reply #189 on:** March 20, 2019, 09:55:15 PM

I have the One+ 6T, first phone in years I am actually satisfied with. The only drawback I have found it sometimes it is really too big. It's super super fast and the T-mobile version comes with 10gig of ram, and base of 128gb of storage.

cheers,
H.G.

My Nokia is on Pie.

Seriously, the battery on your phone is awesome!

I don't think that you ever said what phone you have.

Poncho65 · **Reply #193 on:** March 21, 2019, 12:19:39 PM

Samsung Galaxyy S8+

I have had it for close to a year now

Don Pablo · **Reply #194 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:11:00 PM

Nice.

I hear that Samsung has done some techosorcery to the batteries in those to make them last longer before capacity degredation.

Kev D · **Reply #195 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:09:33 PM

I upgraded from a Note 4 to a S9+ last August and the batteries are far better than they used to be. Even with a brand new battery in the Note 4 I was charging it at lunch time with heavy use, I easily get a full day with the S9+

Don Pablo · **Reply #196 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:30:45 PM

I heard the battery is actually bigger than it claims to be.

Reason being, if you don't use the entire capacity of a battery, because some of it is software-locked, then battery degredation happens more slowly.

Poncho65 · **Reply #197 on:** March 25, 2019, 02:47:36 AM

That is great to hear about the batteries

I didn't know that

I use my phone lots during the day, for work and for here

and am usually on around 40% by coming home time and charge it on the way home in the truck

by the time I get home the battery is usually back at 100% and ready for whatever else I can throw at it til bedtime

Some evenings it gets a lot of use but sometimes I just use my computer and it gets put on the wireless charger, to be full and ready for the next day

Happy Gilmore · **Reply #198 on:** March 25, 2019, 03:05:03 PM

Oh, thats another thing about the 6T vs the 6 from One+, it has a 4000mA battery. Even with use on a game nearly 100% of the day, it finishes the day with around 37%. If I dont use it much usually at 65ish percent at the end of the day. I’ve actually used it for 2 days without issues.

Cheers

My S8+ just updated to Pie last night

Not sure how I feel about it yet

Some of the apps are better already and some have changed in ways that I may not love $:-\$ I guess I might as well get use to it and move forward

Kev D · **Reply #200 on:** April 10, 2019, 10:29:08 AM

Some of the standard icons look a bit crappy to how they were, the camera and gallery ones for starters. I preferred the old previous ones.

The icons are difffernt but my camera app seems better now

I don't know if it really improved battery life or not though

I am getting along with it a bit better already but it does aggravate me that my alarm clock was changed a bit and it took a couple days to get it back to the way I wanted

Otherwise no major downsides to it

I got the LG V40 a while ago when my S6 broke down. Basically got it for free because my wife was in need for a new phone as well, and there was some kind of special old-for-new promotion.

Really like the camera with the three different lenses on it, but man that phone is a large brick

Have to start carrying a man purse to be able to have it on me

hiraethus · **Reply #206 on:** April 10, 2019, 04:48:52 PM

Nothing against Android - I was very happy with the OS and most of the apps - but the hardware (Nokia 6.1), though beautifully made, was a bit flaky. A bug in the speaker meant that call volume was low and couldn't be raised, and it kept crashing Spotify and Strava, two apps that I use regularly.

I've gone back to an iPhone SE - second hand for just over £100 and it's great to have a phone that can genuinely be used with one hand only.
