High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
What's up Slipe? XR my friend, best phone I've ever had.
I'm proud of you.
A good budget phone indeed! I love how the display of the XR phone looks.

I'm on android, about to switch to ios
I have an iPhone XR, got it last year for my birthday.
Before, I had an iPhone 6s for a year.
Before that, lots of shitty LG Phones that were low spec and cheap.
To each his own, but I prefer iOS. The amount of people on it that I am friends with helps me a lot, I can facetime, airdrop, and share shit with all of them

I have a HUAWEI (P20 Lite), bought it almost 2 years ago.
Now I'd like to give some tips on which phone to buy (I am by no means a profesionall with hardware, especially with mobile phones, but I feel like I know enough to give some information to others and point them in the right direction).
DON'T buy a Samsung phone UNLESS you are living in the USA or China.
- I wouldn't suggest getting a Samsung if you are from, let's say, Europe. The reason is pretty straight forward. For the same price you are buying a phone here in Europe (Samsung S20+ for example) for the same price in USA or China you are getting a better phone (While still being Samsung S20+)
Well, why's that?
Well the answer is pretty straight-forward, Samsung is selling better hardware in USA and China (Snapdragon Processors, while anywhere else we are getting Exynos). I'm not saying this change is THAT significant, but with the benchmarks running, you can definetly see that you are getting EXTRA 2 HOURS of screen time with Snapdragon (1h-2h, depends on what you are doing).
Many also stated that the phone gets overheated if you are using Exynos rather than Snapdragon.
Now, with iPhones. Should you buy them?
Well no, but still no.
You might say I am an android fanboy, but I am looking at the both operating systems and hardware and judging them OBJECTIVELY not SUBJECTIVELY.
Even if the iPhone has a good battery, good cameras, a semi-decent OS (It's pretty uncustomizable for my works, and I'd rather use an Android and customize it to look like any phone I want than use an OS that can't do sh!t) it's NOT worth the price.
You can say what you want, but we all know that iPhones are costing that much because they are just holding on their luxury and premium brand.
Apple is not willing to listen to it's customers and lower the price of iPhones because they want to remain premium (bad idea).
Why is it a bad idea?
Let me explain it to you with their standpoint. I will use the revenue they are making and show you that they can afford to lower their price models and STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE!
I did some digging and found out that iPhone 11 Pro Max costs (you aren't ready for this price) ONLY $490.50.
The retail price for the phone is $1099 (Not 100% sure with this one, depends on where you live, can someone update me with their local retail price of this phone for better accuracy?)
So the profit of one phone sold ($1099 - $490.50) is $608.5.
By some reports (Not sure if official, if anyone has the official reports, please let me know so I can make this post as ACCURATE as it can get) there have been 12 million units of iPhone 11s sold (Pro Max)
Apple sold 12 million of these phones for $13188000000 and made a profit of 7.3 billion US$
Now, let's say that the retail price for iPhone 11s are ONLY $700.
Now, that's a slight decrease in price, we've lowered the retail price by around 36.31%. (I might've calculated wrongly around here, correct me if I did some wrong calculations aswell, don't wanna spread false information to anyone.)
Okay, back to the subject, now, if the phones were only $700 that means that Apple will be making ONLY $209.5 per phone sold.
Now, that looks like I just played myself, does it? Well, no I didn't.
Let's now say, that not 12 million units were sold, let's say that the sales INCREASED by some percentage?
For example, because the phone is almost 37% cheaper, let's say that 25 million MORE people could've bought the phone (before they couldn't because it's too pricey for them). Now we are at total of 37 million units that could be sold.
This now means that Apple would profit with around $7751500000. Now, this means that they've EARNED $451500000.
They have earned more money with these sales. This means that it would be profitable for Apple to lower their prices. Now, $700 maybe is too low (atleast that's what Apple would think), but, that doesn't change the fact that Apple Phones are just NOT WORTH IT. You can find cheaper alternatives that are much much better than any iPhone.
I'd never buy an iPhone unless I'd have to, or if I'd buy it that would be to try the phone out, and then sell it. I'd probably lose money, maybe I'd lose around $30 but that's not a big deal. Just try the phones out and choose what you like, I wouldn't ever recommend to anyone that they should buy an iPhone simply because it's not worth the price (Not even the OS is worth the price, it's pretty outdated with most features, but if you love it, sure, buy it. Just keep in mind you are basically getting ripped off).
Thanks for reading this, I never wanted to write a long "article" about this, but if someone needs it I am more than glad to help.
If you have any questions regarding something about phones, there's a chance I know it, shoot me a PM.
