I have just sold off my Lumia 820 after using for a little more than a year and bought a Redmi Note 2. The Lumia was nice, but the lack of apps on Windows was a slight negative and the awesome value for money of the Redmi Note 2 was big positive that tilted to its favor.
The phone comes with free 15GB Mi cloud back up which I am using for my phone photos and other phone related back ups.
Wow, you keep phones for really long. I generally buy phones that are like yesteryear's flagships, for really cheap and then sell it off in a year. I generally buy phones in the $200 range. This is the 1st time I was able to buy a current flagship for $175. I buy export sets without warranty, which is why they are so cheap.ScoobyDoes wrote:Wd40 wrote: As it is Microsoft is struggling with its Lumia phones. The OneDrive feature, was one of its positives.

Going back to a 15GB+15GB limit is fine by me.
My Lumia920 is reaching end of life/days as a few things begin to struggle on it but at almost 3yrs old now, I'm still relatively happy with everything. Photos are super, speed is good, it's sturdy (or hefty in other's opinion) and whilst there is a lack of apps, I'm not really missing too much other than possibly banking options and the possibility to install a wallet/payment SIM.
I am hoping the convergence into Win10 on all hardware (laptop, tablet, phone, X-Box and PC etc.) will encourage developers to port over more of their iOS and Android stuff. I believe Surface4 sales, for example, are strong already.
On the Redmi Note...... Xiaomi just launched a Win10 ROM for their Mi4 with others coming soon for MiNote and upcoming MiPad2. I'm considering switching out my 920 for a Mi4 running the Win10 ROM.....at least until Microsoft's Surface Phone becomes available at the end of 2016 and see from there. I would be happier (strangely) backing up my photos and settings to a MS cloud OneDrive than a Chinese based Xiaomi one.

I expect the weakest point to be most of the time on the human side. You know, no cloud and any other service will survive protected if the user opens emails with unknown/unverified attachments, or do similar things while browsing web pages, or the attackers manage to convince customer service they are the user trying to recover the password.earthfriendly wrote:Wondering about the security of those cloud service....

+1 on "lifetime subscriptions". It means that the company is trying to generate enough upfront capital to keep it alive through annual subscription breakeven. "Iffy", indeed.
Second reason is valid but I usually avoid lifetime subscriptions mostly because it means paying a pretty big fee for service I’m not sure I would even enjoy or get much use out of.singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Sat, 19 Jun 2021 11:53 amx9200 wrote: ↑Sat, 19 Jun 2021 11:33 amWhat extra value do you see in it as compared to some more popular services (dropboxes, onedrives and such)?singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Thu, 17 Jun 2021 4:12 pmHave any of you tried pcloud? any feedback?

- Pay once the cost of approx 3 year subscription for getting a life time subscription.
Another reason - price increase from dropbox has been high year on year for the last 3 years
