        I am in UAE and I wanted to have a good phone for daily use under 400 AED now I have two options , Either New Redmi 13C 5g (8/256) or used Samsung M23 5g (4/128) , Idk which one to choose Redmi 13C seems reliable as it is new and has bigger RAM and STORAGE while M23 has better DISPLAY, CAMERA AND SOFTWARE pls helppp.

                Does anyone have a problem with One UI 6.1 update on these devices?
                I was scrolling through Instagram and suddenly rebooted into bootloop, already wiped cache data (and even wiped data factory reset) by using recovery mode but no result still bootloop. Decided to reflash using Odin, but can't roll back to the older version. After that managed to Android or the home screen, but couldn't connect to WIFI (can't connect via quick access and even settings). And bootloop again after soft reboot, don't have any solution anymore.
                I found out these problems are showing on some Samsung phones even the flagship ones. Someone at the Samsung community and Reddit shared that he was charged to pay for changing the motherboard.

Yet, why TF I paid over 2 million rupiah if in the end I burning up the warranty and rooting it. Yet rooting android phone is insanely hard nowaday (involving PC, commandline, even risk of bootloop is higher).

                  I bought this quite expensive smartphone (because I live on middle-down developed country) for balance, not just for gaming, but also to fulfill my sidejob as an independent anime illustrator that drawing using just thumb on Ibis Paint.

                  In the end, I trust Samsung because its durability and build quality are top-notch. After my huge disappointment with Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (that only f---ing last 2 years half then blackscreen permanently compared to my Galaxy A3 2017 that's AFTER 8 years still useful), I'm back to Samsung.

There's some custom kernel, custom rom, overclock configuration, and something like nfs-injector. That will have a big impact, while the cpu temperature stays cool under the cpu cooler. I run Free Fire max with maximum configuration (maybe this isn't extreme yet but i have no stutter and lag). Removing some bloatware may made your phone faster too.

Even though if there would be even more lags and problem and anything else than how many numbers "eratosphen" wrote inside his "resheto", im still fine with it, just need to use optimization (or sum cool down thing) anddddd....Done!
                        Also for u to know, guys! If u need any but much stable phone (despite of the heat sometimes), then take, especially, that M23 i have rn. What else kind of phone u thought? Xiaomi, Oppo or even Motorola? Nuh uh uh!
                        If u dont want galaxy m23 but any else, then sorry but its always not my problem!

                              Noor, 31 Jan 2023Is it good enough??? Good enough for productivity, but NOT for gaming.

                              Just tested it on GTA SA, it runs smoothly ofc.
                              But on heavier games like Trials of Mana, things started to show up weaknesses. It constantly lagged especially on complex maps. Also I have to lower the setting to Medium. Both A23 5G and M23 5G can't even play it stable without any lag on Trials of Mana. But hey, at least it's playable.

                              About productivity, it's so smooth and well. Just tested drawing with over 50 layers, 3K resolution on Ibis Paint and it's still fine, no lagging, little stuttering.
                              As for internet, and editing at Power Director and CapCut as such, this phone runs great.

                                  Back in 2013s I remember I'm tethering using my old Galaxy Grand Prime, and that's only 200 Kbps. It makes to learn how to be grateful that now everywhere internet speed is 2-5 Mbps. That's enough to me.

                                    Techreader, 01 Nov 2023I confirm. NO Fm radio.Definitely has a radio. However, it uses the earphone wire as antenna, so it only works when wired phones plugged in.
                                    Very good cellphone for a very acceptable price, am quite happy with it.
