the case is cracked, the glass is cracked a little

2018-10-11 11:17:14 UTC  

nowadays phones with 64gb roms and 4 gb ram is a godsend

2018-10-11 11:17:24 UTC  

I had my redmi note 3 struggle to run apps due to low ram

2018-10-11 11:23:08 UTC  

You got the 2gb version?

2018-10-11 11:23:18 UTC  

My 3gb version runs everything without struggle

2018-10-11 11:27:36 UTC  

same here with the 3gb, no issues running anything

2018-10-11 11:32:28 UTC  

My actual phone, the mi mix 2, with 8 GB is a beast though

2018-10-11 11:32:54 UTC  

I run multiple apps with split screen all the time

2018-10-11 11:33:11 UTC  

Sometimes even YouTube overlays with popup player

2018-10-11 11:34:09 UTC  

The huge screen also makes it super pleasant

just got this $2 wireless charger. works just fine, delivers about 700ma which is plenty enough to keep my phone topped up throughout the day. gets pulled around by the cable on its own, but with the weight of the phone it has good non-slip on the top and bottom

0.7a would take a very long time to charge <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

2018-10-11 13:24:05 UTC  

sure, i'm just using it to top it up a bit when i'm at my desk

2018-10-11 13:24:10 UTC  

didn't expect anything more from it

2018-10-11 13:25:09 UTC  

So 1.4a = 0.7a if this pad has 50% ef

2018-10-11 13:26:03 UTC  

u wot

2018-10-11 13:26:17 UTC  

why do you need to keep your phone topped out

2018-10-11 13:26:44 UTC  

Most the cheap wireless chargers I have seen only offer to turn half of their input power into usable wireless power
Mine does 2 amp to 1 amp wireless @Adam W

2018-10-11 13:27:00 UTC  

oh yeah, that'll be about right, rated input at the bottom is 1.5a

2018-10-11 13:27:18 UTC  

and why wouldn't i want to keep my phone topped up?

2018-10-11 13:27:25 UTC  

if your phone isnt an absolute shitter you should be able to just charge at night right?

2018-10-11 13:27:35 UTC  

theres just no real reason to

2018-10-11 13:27:41 UTC  

Or just charge it when it's not in use

2018-10-11 13:27:43 UTC  

yeah there is, less charge cycles = less wear

2018-10-11 13:28:24 UTC  

I thought draining was better? idk thats how it is for laptops anyhow

2018-10-11 13:28:37 UTC  

thats very old fashioned knowledge

2018-10-11 13:28:40 UTC  

not true for laptops either

2018-10-11 13:28:53 UTC  

older battery chemistries had a "memory" like that so it was good to keep cycling them

2018-10-11 13:28:56 UTC  

but not modern battery tech

2018-10-11 13:29:01 UTC  

That's only for Nickel

2018-10-11 13:29:02 UTC  

all about keeping the cycles as low as possible

2018-10-11 13:29:14 UTC  

oh, my laptop battery died a long time ago, its 8 years old so that makes sense

2018-10-11 13:29:26 UTC  

Lithium doesn't suffer from the memory effect nor does get effected by charging it differently

2018-10-11 13:29:50 UTC  

charging a lithium battery from 90% to 100% will cause signficantly less wear than charging from say 40% to 100%

2018-10-11 13:30:06 UTC  

That's why they cap the charge <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2018-10-11 13:30:20 UTC  

I've been draining mine all the way since I got it hahaha

2018-10-11 13:30:25 UTC  

and thats why i keep it topped up during the day, so i rarely do a full charge cycle

2018-10-11 13:30:26 UTC  

thanks for the info man

2018-10-11 13:30:45 UTC  

Which phone do you have Adam?

2018-10-11 13:30:51 UTC  

mine has a replacable battery fortunately so its not a huge concern

2018-10-11 13:31:09 UTC  

Mi Mix 2S
