Retiring my Blackberry

I'm really torn on retiring my BlackBerry but I have to.

I was already thinking about it for a while now looking for the perfect phone but unfortunately the one that I'm really eyeing is the Samsung S10e which is handy but pricey. I know it will last but I'm not so game to spend 30,000php for that even the S20 is out already, it will never be cheaper.

I'm so OC with phones that I don't want to use my iPhone as a text and call phone since I also need a dual sim device.

I need 2 different gadget in my life that's why I'm finally switching from BlackBerry to an Android. BlackBerry really tried but it wasn't enough.

I think it started when I first had a Motorola K1 that I pushed the capability of that device to it's limit. Since then, I knew I should always have a backup so I will not be able to abuse a gadget.

I can use 2 iPhones but it can never be both and one more reason is otg life. I use different computers on different places so I got to have an otg that connects to my laptop at home which have usb-c ports and to multiple computers that I can use to edit or update some files on a daily basis that just have a usb.

One criteria on switching to Android is that usb-c life as well. Luckily, most Android phones now have usb-c but they are also huge size of screen. Which is one reason why I love my BlackBerry it's handy but I guess we have to move on too. I also have a love and hate relationship with an Android touch screen or at least while texting.

I like customization on Android though.

There are also some apps that doesn't work good on iPhone that works perfectly on an Android. That's why you got to have both. You can never have both iPhone or both Android.

I chose a phone with usb-c than micro usb since future is brighter with usb-c. One more reason is, so I can open files on my phone even while on-the-go. Huge help since sometimes I don't trust saving it in a cloud and mostly I don't have internet outside and I hate depending too much on the internet.

My BlackBerry is already acting up too and they are also going to retire the brand as well.

I'll miss physical keys to press on. Yup I'm really that type.

I already have my Android phone for a month now and I haven't transfer my sim to this phone for some reason. I want to customize the phone, I want to test it prior on using it so I will not be surprised on it's action when I'm in public place that I don't know the capability of my own phone.  I have to practice holding a huge phone in one hand. Thankful for one-handed mode that probably most people doesn't know that it exist. I haven't seen anyone uses that in public.

I chose to try REALME 6 since the design is just like the s10e. Trying a new brand is something I'm not so game for but there's a lot of waiting for the new release of Samsung for it to be available in here and I'm really very specific with the design that I want. So far there are features that I don't like but there are some that I really like. I'm just gonna drop it but why do tech reviewer didn't even mention such? Never watched anyone mentioned this device doesn't even have it's own calendar app. Bummer it got google instead. One reason why people really chose Apple than Android.

I do watch YouTube reviews about phones but why do these people just go for the external look and just a glimpse on what's inside. People these days don't care much on what they're going to buy just because you can play your game you are already good to go. It doesn't work that way. I know they are respecting the brand and their connection with them but why do people fail mentioning some important stuff. People need a phone for a lot of things not just playing games.

Despite of the things that I don't like, I'm loving this phone really.

Android is all about customization but still camera issue. I know it's affordable but for some who doesn't have contentment in life, go for Apple you will never regret. You get what you pay for.

My advice to everyone, whether you are an Android user or an iOS one, please kindly know your phone. Seriously. Make time to know each other and freaking fix your home screen and the icons of your apps!

Thank you, BlackBerry. Your simplicity will be missed.

Fyi, Don't expect instant replies just because I upgraded. Lol
