@Agustinus Reynaldi that sucks. Even samsung knows better than not to do that. My Note 8 is beaten beyond possibility to the point that the screen has, well... some special issues. The bottom part of the screen has no colour or brightness adjustment, it stays to 100% no matter what. If the brightness isn't almost maxxed, the colours get even fucky-er than they already are, because for whatever reason there is a GTA SA sandy orange filter over everything. A very specific and annoyng spot has no touch anymore, and this is only some of the details about the current state, because about a week earlyer it was different, with the screen going nuts in specific situations ir just refusing to work. Either way i got completeley off the rails. The OS on my phone is not OEM essentially, getting rid of plenty of garbage. For some reason it even got rid of the calculator, but that's an easy fix.

Certainly they are crap, however you have to consider that many times that toy camera is a lifesaver. especially for those elementary and middle school homework -At least speaking from my case [in 2012-2013]. In Mexico, the transition to digital things was relatively slow (I'm not lying when I tell you that 90% of our stores and banks were running Windows XP and IBM tinkcenters from the 80s-90s), and even continued to sell CRT televisions [despite the fact that the analog TV blackout was scheduled for 2013]. Digital cameras in Mexico were a rare product. not only because hardly anyone had one. [they were expensive, delicate and difficult to repair, etc. unless you were a photographer or a teenager with a lot of money and wanted to take emo photos for Hi-5 or +18 amateur content with a compact Cybershot it was rare to see one] all families had film cameras, or camcorders (which those were a success, motivated more than anything by the idea of ​​recording children dancing or acting at school festivals since our educational program celebrates holidays like this) [even webcams were a premium item, partly because at that time internet access in mexico at a domestic level on average did not exceed 2-5 mbps via ADSL], so making video calls was like "huh if that exists" *and you were even screwed because you could have a webcam but Obtaining microphones was almost impossible, nobody sold them, they were expensive and nobody knew how to put them in a dinosaur PC*[there were those who would have 10-20 megs but they were very wealthy. or really hardcore gamers who cushioned the investment, and some Internet cafes with 50-100 megabytes]. -Together with this, phone calls in Mexico are stupidly cheap, even free, so PCs only existed for Facebook, flash games, P*rn, KZbin. [and email] -MSN Messenger at his time. Cell phones were more or less like that, whoever owned a blackberry was a top businessman, or already a lot of luxury, a Samsung galaxy. from there everyone used the classic buttons. So there were some cameras but (for some reason) those phones were never sold with PC cable or you could only get through via bluethooth [and PC's dont have it]. Set to the Candy Crush moms effect, So slowly cheap tablets became a common Christmas gift So in many school activities or some government procedures (very rare at the time), they asked you to take photographs of evidence. 35mm film is becoming more and more rare to find and many children don't know how to use it anymore so for many years those cheap tablets and phones with shitty cameras were the standard and the family digital camera. [so under the logic of tablet-phone having a digital camera... who needs a digital one now?] [Today we all see our "memories of the 2010's" and they are disgusting and even with today's monitors impossible to see with such low resolution, but at the time it was something normal and even "enough" because those photos in a CRT monitor from the 90s that everyone had or as a luxury some LCD resolution WGA or 720 max] or printed on bond paper with an hp inkjet cartridges from the 2000s or already in 4x6" photographic paper they looked like a damn luxury. the problem was that many people got stuck in that idea that those farting cameras were the future to the point that you can literally go to any store or supermarket in mexico in 2022 and you will not find digital cameras. [some premium reflexes] or cheap Camcorders- GoPro like. or for children. but they don't really sell cameras.

The Pendo Pad would crash, get terrifyingly hot, would eventually fall apart and the speaker was on the back. The speaker grill itself wasn't even in the right place, it was off to the side which made it cover half the speaker. Meanwhile my 2013 Ipad Mini 2 runs as well as you'd need it to, battery still holding up insanely well to this day.

@@LeoMkII All the ones I've gotten so far had only lost roughly 10-20% capacity, could be better but it's still more than plenty to get through an entire day on 80% charge, generally batteries only go bad that quickly when people take very little care of their battery and leave it on the charger all the time and of course I wouldn't recommend everyone go do it, but swapping batteries isn't that difficult, it mostly just requires patience both to remove the back and to clean the glue off to then re-glue it. Also, keep in mind companies like Xiaomi make very little margin on their products, meaning they have to make up for that elsewhere, so you may not mind that, but I would rather not take part in any of that. My problem with budget phones is that they cost quite similar to old flagships but always come with comprises, often the camera first then the screen, after that specs/storage, because you'll have considerably more storage, that nice crisp screen and top-tier specs, the whole package is just all around better and you'll want to keep it for much longer, if I have to take a mild hit to battery life to get those things well then personally I think it's worth it, I've owned budget phones too and it's not as if they don't have a place, but please trust me on this, they just aren't worth it, they're fine for light users like grandma who barely touch their phone but for everyone else do yourself a favor and at least splurge for the $300-$400 range if you must have a new phone.

@@velnoa you can actually buy your own smaller, secondary router and plug the Ethernet cable into that. this will create a signal in your room just as strong as the base WiFi. if this second router has more Ethernet ports, you can still keep your PC plugged in, too.

My dad bought me a tablet exactly like this around 9 years ago with the same specs and it cost 139 euros, so you can't really say it's a fair comparison with the iPad when it never really was quality. Great video though I love your commentary!

Funny enough, I picked up an Air 2 for $50 to keep around for sides, call sheets, and lyrics instead of printing out piles and piles of paper. It's since become my twitch chat monitor, and when I do occasionally go out of town, I use it for e-mails and KZbin. Works like a charm.

I mean just think if you showed this thing to people in 2002. It would be the best invention ever. Perspective.
