Most Durable Phones

I saw some phones released 3 years ago, and I thought of making a blog that if you want to use a phone released in 2015 then which one is the most durable even after 3 years. My favourite phone right now is OnePlus 7 Pro, it is probably the best phone released in 2019. Now I think that 2016 was the golden age of phones. There were some bangers. The ones which I am going to consider are; OnePlus 3T, Samsung S7, Pixel 1, iPhone SE and the iPhone 6S.





Now when I look at these phones, the first thing that comes to my mind is that they all had headphone jacks. It wasn't even a question in 2016. The pricing on these phones was also really good. These were all reasonably priced flagship phones. They were also made of metal(except the S7). It is the reason why these phones exist in your hands. There is a very big difference in how these phones have aged. After considering many factors, I have come to the conclusion that iPhones have aged the best.

Let us first talk about software updates. As all of you know Apple is really good with software support. These 3-4-year-old phones still operate the latest iOS. Now when you look at the S7, the S7 supports Android 8. This is strange because this is the same age as the phone as the two iPhones. The OnePlus 3 also got up to Android 9. Pixel 1 gets Android 10 but they are gonna drop support really soon. The one that stands to be the worst is Samsung. I like what they do with their hardware but they should really work on their software. Let me get straight, if the iPhone SE can run the iOS 13 with 2GB RAM then S7 can surely run Android 10 with 4GB RAM but Samsung chose not to do it. This stuff affects resale value. iPhones are just safer to buy because of software.

Now, performance-wise, none of these phones is comparable to today's phones. Though, there is one phone for which I can say " This is the best of the bunch" and it is the iPhone SE. It has the smoothest experience in the group but they charge really slow with that lightning port. The most amazing thing is that is faster now as compared to when it was released which is certainly not the case in the other phones. The 3T is also not bad. The other two; Pixel and Samsung did not age well. iPhone definitely has the crown here. One thing which was terrible as compared to today is the camera. One thing which I would like to point out is the improvement of OnePlus's images. Now I want to know your thoughts on this whole ageing-thing in the comments below.

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...

16' MacBook Pro

These are my thoughts on 2019 16' MacBook Pro with improved thermals, better specs and new Radeon Pro 5000M Series GPUs. This laptop has been rumoured forever and many people had this device on their wishlists as well. This device is something special. The 16' inch screen is the least interesting thing to me. It looks like this is a device launched after a long time where they really cared about what users actually want. This laptop is slightly bigger and heavier than the 15' model which is obvious. The top of the keyboard now has a physical escape key and the keyboard is no longer a Butterfly keyboard it is now upgraded to a Scissor-Switch keyboard. It has a very similar mechanism to an iMac. The key-press travel has increased from 0.5mm to 1mm. It is a significant improvement and anybody who does not like MacBooks for the new keyboards; " Welcome home". The tried to use the Butterfly keyboard but I am glad that they are done with them, The second thi...

Surface Pro X

This is my review of the Microsoft Surface Pro X. Do you think this ARM-based tablet can compete with the iPad Pro or Surface Pro? Surface Pro X is a product which was clearly designed to compete with what iPads offer. This is a thin, elegant looking, magnetically attached tablet that has an ergonomic design that looks good with good battery life and still runs Windows 10 for the functionality that people want in a computing device. I am gonna start with hardware and then I will come to user experience. This is not a super-light machine. It is slightly lighter than the regular Surface Pro. It has a bigger screen and thinner bezels and is heavier than an iPad Pro. The finish of this device is black anodized aluminium. I also found that some of the edges have got sharper. Due to the sharp edges, this device becomes prone to damages which generally should not be the case in premium Surface devices. Protect this stuff! I highly recommend a skin for this device. This is a go...
