I disagree. Better display, better battery and they adressed a lot of problems with repairability under the hood.
I have the old one. Next iteration will have the same better display along with better cpu/gpu/ram, current battery is more than enough for a day of my gaming needs and I doubt I will ever need to touch a screw let alone a repair. I’m glad there’s an upgrade at the same price for newcomers but it isn’t “radiant” anything.
I’m thinking some people having more joy at staring at the fps counter then play the game.
My thinking exactly. It's Malibu Stacy, but she has a new hat. This is just a really silly ad for a new product.
I’d like to respectfully say you’re fucking dead wrong. The display is gorgeous, the increased framerate is amazing, the battery life is SO MUCH BETTER and it downloads games and launches faster. On top of having more storage space on the LE edition. And the charge cable is LONGER. I was actually able to play over 3 hours of deep rock on a flight and still have some charge left. If you use the device a lot it’s a massive upgrade.
You got it crooked. 60hz to 90hz is a lot more than 1-2 frames. “A brighter screen” okay guess you don’t know what HDR is and have never seen the difference between LED and OLED. “A bit more battery” got me from 90 minutes of gaming to over 3 hours. For someone who actually uses the thing constantly, it’s huge. But continue to be ignorant because I doubt what I wrote will change that.
Exactly. It's neat that it's OLED, like the original Samsung Galaxy from 2009, but it'd be pretty neat if they've skipped right to 2013 and at least make it FullHD. You're supposed to overtake competition, not lag a decade behind.
The resolution is more than fine and I'm speaking from the perspective of an OG deck. Even if they brought the resolution up, the processor and battery wouldn't be able to keep pace with it.
