Is infinix gt 30 pro a good gaming phone for 2026-2030 service

Upvotes

Im planning on buying a decent phone for the price of 15-18k

The phone would only be a gaming phone and messenger at most

But mainly gaming

Im looking for a phone that at most can take codm on 120fps on ultra settings

And be smooth on other stuff like

Ml, terraria, Minecraft, roblox.

And I've seen the specs of gt 30 pro and it seems a perfect fit but im worried since i keep being told that

"It's a bad phone"

"Software is easily broken"

"Frequent crashes"

Ofcourse if its bad i might buy a poco x7 pro

or buy my coworkers f7 for 20k

Im just asking if its worth for its price cause if it is then im buying it including the fan cause im told without it it'll heat up.

2nd hand macbook seller recommendations

Upvotes

since there was a price hike on apple products, i've decided to go for a 2nd hand macbook instead, any recommendations aside sa fb marketplace or carousell? are there any trustworthy and reputable shops na nagbebenta ng 2nd hand macbooks na hindi pinalitan yung parts or boosted yung battery? medyo skeptical kasi ako sa greenhills since i've read a lot of negative stories about people who purchased their macbooks there.

janstore yung isa sa mga nakikita ko na nirerecommend, pero mukhang mas kilala sila sa windows laptops, meron bang nakabili na ng 2nd hand macbook sa kanila? if meron, kamusta naman po yung purchase niyo? wala naman po bang issue or anything kayong naencounter? and are there any other shops that are similar to janstore na trustworthy and reputable din? thank you po sa mga sasagot!

I have 2 sims that i currently using but i also wanted to use a micro SD card for expandable storage. Is it capable of using 1 regular nano sim, 1 micro SD card and esim all at the same time?

So many things connected to my number now I have to do a lot of tedious things. Can't even recover my number crazy 🤯😤

water damaged iphone 14 repair

0 Upvotes

hello, i dropped my phone into water yesterday and it got fully submerged for about 5 seconds. i dried it out to the best of my ability, wiped it out, and shook out the water. pero that day i had an emergency so i had to override the warning not to charge while liquid is in the charging port and charged it for 30 mins and left the house. that night, nagka green screen/ flickering issue yung phone ko when i charged it again. i had assumed my phone was okay na. i tried drying out my phone again by leaving it in front of the aircon all night (na clear up naman yung moisture behind the camera lens) and everything, but the screen still flickers green. im now trying to put my phone in a tupperware with 2 silica gel packs.

should i get it checked at a repair shop or wait it out? and if so, whats the reasonable cost for getting this repaired? im a college student so i likely cannot afford more than 2k huhu. im no stranger rin naman to repair shops overcharging or acting like a repair issue is much worse than it really is to milk customers off their money. im hoping this only requires an internal clean out and drying, and not an extensive repair to the logic board/etc like google says

Preordered the ZFold 8 Ultra!

Had a hard time deciding between ZFold 8 (Wide) and the Ultra especially di ko pa sila nahahawakan personally. Hinahabol ko rin kasi yung 14k discount since hanggang July 23 na lang siya.

Medyo sad voucher offerings ngayon tapos di pa stackable. Also no free storage upgrade.

Anyway, decided to go with Ultra to replace my Fold 5.

Vouchers used:

- LS-PHGALAXYUNPACKED (Until July 23)

- Samsung Reservation+ Voucher (Php 2000 but worth Php 6000 when used)

Macbook Pro M5 Pro battery health

Help!

Getting a macbook was just a spur of the moment decision.

Got my mac last week of june but i didnt get to really use it til july 6. Naging busy talaga ako ever since kaya i forgot to research other than basic navigation short cuts.

Kanina as i was scrolling threads, may nakita akong post. Takkte nabuhusan ako nang malamig na tubig!

After years of being a windows user, i forgot i was using a mac. After almost three weeks of use, 14 na cycles ko pero 100 naman bh. Nagsearch search ako, sa iba nga unded 10 lang after months of use!

My mistakes:
(1) i plug out the charger the moment it is sufficient
(2) hard shell case. I am extremely clumsy. Kahit sa bahay lang baka maaksidente ako lol. Better not to take risk.
(3) i use opera multiple tabs for work
(4) i installed a virtual machine—vmware to host windows and run windows only applications.

I have the ff questions!

Nakakalito na kasi, ano ba talaga?
(1) should i keep my charger plugged if i plan to use it a very long time? (More than 8 hrs) or bawal talaga isagad sa 100
(2) is a hard shell case really damaging? How about i switch to soft shell case?
(3) is my browser affecting my battery?

Any other tips?

Thank you in advance!

CPU Temp Spiking after Cleaning in Gilmore PC Hub

2 Upvotes

Hi! My Laptop's CPU has suddenly been spiking after a cleaning at PC Hub in Gilmore, and its been reaching a max at 96 degrees while only Google Chrome is running. Is this normal? The shop cleaned dust on my fans and added new thermal paste since it was my first time ever getting my Laptop checked. Previously it would stay at around 40 to 50 degrees, but it hasn't dropped from 60 degrees since opening. Should I bring it back sa shop? Thanks! Photo for reference:

May wrong diagnosis yung repair shop. Ano ang pwede kong gawin?

3 Upvotes

May flickering pink and green lines kasi sa display ng gaming laptop ko at yung corners naman nag-dark na siya. So dinala ko sa repair shop. Need daw palitan yung lcd. I agreed kaagad sa 6K cost ng repair basta maayos lang. May downpayment akong binigay kasi need pa nila i-order yung parts.

After waiting for 1.5months saka pa lang dumating yung order. Pero sabi sa akin, yung display ganun pa rin. Hindi naman daw defective yung bagong parts. Flex cable is ok din. Nasa motherboard na raw yung sira and ayaw na nila galawin yung area na yun. So parang I waited for nothing.

Is this common sa tech industry? Like parang trial and error ang gawin? Ayaw ko naman bayaran ang buong 6K kung hindi naman siya ayos. I'm not sure if ito ang right thing to do pero pwede bang bayaran ko na lang ang labor cost at ipabalik ko yung original parts?

Also, pinagiisipan kong ibenta na lang ang laptop ko for parts para may pangdagdag to buy new one

Lifeless na ung LG cp ko. Ayaw na nyang magcharge.. Pinag iisipan kong baka pede ko pang i try bilhan ng new battery or ipa repair. Iniingatan ko pa naman dahil andun pa ung mga text ng late father ko.Pero kung hindi na kaya. Ipapalit ko sana ay A57 5g. Kung bibili ako ng brand new at me less sana ng konti. Mas mura po ba sa greenhills? Ang naiisip ko baka 2nd hand ung makuha ko. Please bigyan nyo po ko insights. Thank you po.
