Upgraded my Iphone6 Plus today

Post by Calavera »

I was going to post this in the tech forum but figured null is fine since it is basically me just being excited to be in the current generation of cellphones. :olol:

For a few years now I've been using an Iphone 6s plus from back in 2015. I was fine with it but the battery was near worthless anymore. It could barely hold a charge for maybe an hour or so with use. So today my brother gives me his "OLD" phone which is a Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G! It apparently came out in late 2020 but this thing is top o the line for me!

I am so impressed with the quality of the camera. I would post a picture to show it but I know you all have seen a modern smartphone camera. :olol: Anyways I'm thrilled with it and just wanted to say so!

Your post made me think I wonder what kind of emulation can be done on it.



Wow! Fullspeed Dreamcast,Gamecube,PSP,Wii and even PS2(somewhat) I'd have to get me one of those controller attachments like in the video if I was going to do that. It is really cool it can do that but honestly I don't really game on the go so I wouldn't have a ton of use for it at the moment but it is pretty crazy how far emulation has come (that sounds familiar) :olol:

Also apparently this thing was $1,300 in 2020?! :oshocked:

I might have to look into one of those controller attachment things. It would be handy to have. There are tons of controllers available and it is a market I've never really looked into before. I suppose the Razer Kishi looks good and can be had for around $20 on Ebay.

I'm thrilled with it! It is far and away the most powerful phone I've ever owned! I ran 3DMark on it just for kicks since it exists for phones.

I had no idea that smartphones had such good slow motion cameras! The last I knew slow motion cameras were super expensive. While this isn't like super high quality like you'd see on Mythbusters or whatever I'm pretty impressed with it!




The lighter was the best thing I could think of at the moment to test the slow motion. If you have a suggestion on something to slo-mo let me know.

Rain and/or snow always looks good in slo-mo.

I took a few snow vids about a month ago and you were right they looked pretty good. I also just recently put some emulators on it. So far NES,SNES,Genesis and Dreamcast. I know I'll probably never play them but I had plenty of room on the SD card so if I need some more room I can always delete them.

I don't have a controller so it is just touchscreen controls. NES,SNES and Genesis aren't too horrible with touch screen controls. I mean they aren't great but you could probably get used to them enough to play the game decently. Dreamcast on the other hand is borderline unplayable for most games.

I was thinking about getting one of those attachments that go on each side of the phone and basically turn it into a gaming tablet.

But those seem to be selling for a bit more than I'd like to pay for something I'll barely ever use. :olol:

A cheaper option would be one of these where the phone sits on top of the controller.

One of those can be had for about $12. The controller probably isn't amazing but I think would be decent enough and definitely an upgrade from the touch controls. Like I said I know I've rarely ever use it, I just want the option to be able to if I want to. I was mainly thinking if I'm stuck somewhere or have to be in the hospital for several days again it would help pass the time.

Does anyone here have any experience with cellphone controllers?
