Bought a new Chinese phone a few months back but the battery is already bad as fuck (my fourth Chinese phone, first bad battery). Define bad, every minute of devRanting was 1 percent of battery gone.
It was empty after like two hours of usage :(.

So just went back to my old phone (6000 mAh) and after two hours I am at 86 percent!

Man, this relieve 😀

DevRant killing your new phone?

@shozukan Not just devRant, every app I ran on it :/

@linuxxx that's even a worse ratio than me running Pokémon go on mine

@shozukan Guess so haha! But yeah I'm at 83 percent now after about 3 hours :)

What kind of phone was the new one?

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

You know in China and maybe the world ppl spend too much time in front of their phones. This aims to fix that!

@jhh2450 New one is the Oukitel U15S, 'old' one is the Ramos MOS1 Max :)

@linuxxx i'm trying to figure out why you choose those devices (they do look nice and quite good specs)

But can I recommend you a OnePlus phone? Their specs are amazing, last tier phones are okayish (OnePlus 3 used to have a better price). Besides that I love the quick charge, I will never buy another phone without quickcharge again... My phone can recharge 100% in 45mins and it lasts nearly all day, whenever you're out of juice and plug it in... Do your morning routine or whatever and it should atleast have enough to get you through out the day

@Russian The reason was very simple, my budget was 120 euro Max in both cases!

@linuxxx oh wow, and the phones are they good? Is the bootloader unlocked/unlockable (idc if I need to take some effort). Does it support NFC?

@Russian because OnePlus is just the more expensive international version of cheaper Chinese phones.

Not sure about NFC but you can unlock both bootloaders yeah! You'll have to reflash the rom afterwards (FIRST ENABLE OEM UNLOCKING IN THE DEV SETTINGS) but it works!

@Russian Oh but do OEM unlock through fastboot mode first haha!

@linuxxx well I know some fake crap phones where you can't OEM unlock, rather you get a boot screen telling u it's fake...yea my dad bought an S7 for cheap in China.... But after I used it for a minute, clearly it was a fake... But sales are final...

@billgates Oh wow you can return something here if the article isn't what it's supposed to be! (fake replica == can get money back)

@linuxxx well it was bought on the underground market and he didn't think about asking me to check it out... Until after he bought it.

Basically it's a trap for dumb tourists... And well when it comes to phones and new tech, my dad as dumb as most ppl

@billgates I trust gas station sushi more than buying a phone from China lol

@jhh2450 even Chinese gas station sushi?

@billgates true, they're the Iphones of China, can't disagree

@linuxxx :o I will take a look

@billgates Ooof that's a tuff one.

But I've been screwed over by Chinese wholesale companies more than once. Bought a sports jersey off Amazon, and said it was from the US. But it wasn't. Seller bsed a tracking number and never shipped. Thankfully Amazon returned my money.

@jhh2450 I bought a premium Mac HDMI cable from Amazon... When it arrived, it clearly looked unofficial.... And if I wanted could've bought the same thing $10 cheaper elsewhere

@billgates I've started to check if the seller's profile says something about being new. If it's new, it's likely to be a scam.

@linuxxx try Xiaomi, if possible
