I am reminded that the smartphone I would like to recommend to heavy users is not the iPhone but the "Redmi Note 9S". "Efficiency" is the most important for heavy users. In order to improve efficiency, we must eliminate "waste" to the utmost limit. The iPhone is also focusing on "efficiency", and in the latest update, "smart stack" can be added and the size of the widget can be changed to improve efficiency.
However, in the case of the iPhone , there are still many restrictions on customizing, so it is virtually impossible to "edit the home screen to your liking." Especially for the iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone 12 mini, which have a small screen size, the space is small. There may be no problem if the apps you use are quite limited, but then there is no point in using a high-spec machine in the first place.
Android has "freedom" that iPhone does not have. However, in the default state, you can only customize like the iPhone . However, the editing environment of the home screen changes drastically by installing a certain application. That app is Nova Launcher, which I have been using for a long time. There will be many people who say, "Because you can use this app, you are an Android user." A customized app that is as popular and influential as it is.
The settings are divided into multiple items, each of which can be finely adjusted. Since you can change a wide range of sizes, colors, and designs, you will almost certainly complete the "home screen design you want."
The basis is "the number of desktop grids". By adjusting this value, it is possible to fine-tune and display the size of icons and widgets. The finer the number, the more freedom you have. Since "Redmi Note 9S" has a large screen of 6.67 inches, it evolves into "God machine" by adjusting the grid.
If you set the number of grids to "Vertical x 10" and "Horizontal x 7" in "Redmi Note 9S", you will be able to create a detailed layout as shown in the image below. The maximum number of grids can be selected up to "12". With "Redmi Note 9S", there is no sense of discomfort even if you increase the number of horizontal grids and the number of apps that can be placed. On the other hand, if you set the grid too finely on a smartphone with a small screen, it may cause erroneous operation or you will not be able to recognize the information.
What changes by displaying a lot of information and apps on one screen is to realize overwhelming "efficiency" in addition to "good appearance". You can get the necessary information the moment you turn on the screen, and you can start the application you normally use with "one tap". Once you get used to this, you can't really think "let's switch to the iPhone ".
However, it cannot be said that the correct "efficiency" can be achieved with an Android smartphone that has only a large screen. If "processing speed" and "power efficiency" are not high, "time to process data" and "time to charge" will be wasted. "Redmi Note 9S" is a "high midrange model" equipped with "Snapdragon 720G".
Antutu's score, which quantifies the performance of smartphones with a benchmark, is "a little less than 280,000", which is one of the highest in the high midrange. This score is comparable to the Snapdragon 835 for the flagship model, and it can handle even heavy 3D games with plenty of room, not to mention efficiency.
By comparing with other competing models, you can know the overwhelming cost performance of "Redmi Note 9S". No other smartphone has such an unbalanced price and performance.

The "Snapdragon 720G" uses the "8nm process rule", which greatly improves power efficiency. The measurement results made using "battery life" (battery life measures the time it takes for the battery to run down from 100% to 20% by operating the smartphone assuming various usage scenarios) is "25 hours 31". Minutes ”recorded. If you use it on a daily basis, the battery will not run out even if you use it for a full day.

The maximum charging speed is "18W". The "Redmi Note 9S" has a large capacity battery of 5,020mAh, but you don't have to feel stress if it takes a long time to charge. And once it is fully charged, it has a long battery that you forget to charge. It also eliminates the inefficiencies of "time spent on charging" and "carrying a mobile battery".
Efficiency is not the only real pleasure of "Redmi Note 9S". Since this smartphone is really almighty, it is also excellent in "camera image quality". Of course, no difficult settings are required. Even the night view is OK on hand. If you work too hard and get tired, take a picture and change your mood.

The SIM of OCN Mobile ONE was very cheap, but it was very fast! In addition, there is a free option that supports music distribution services with no communication count and unlimited use of Wi-Fi spots!
I would like to recommend "OCN Mobile ONE" for all. However, it would be a problem if I actually used it differently, so I signed up for a SIM and measured the speed during the time when congestion is expected.
Measured the communication speed of OCN Mobile ONE at 20:50
After watching the variety show from 20:00, check SNS etc. in preparation for the drama starting at 21:00, which is the time zone called "20:50". The measurement results are perfect, with downlink "38.86Mbps" and uplink "9.35Mbps".
Measured the communication speed of OCN Mobile ONE at 22:31
Next, after finishing the day's work, we measured at "22:31" when the number of people operating smartphones while relaxing in bed increased. The speed of the carrier is a deep blue speed violation level, with downlink "52.72Mbps" and uplink "23.82Mbps". If you complain with this, you will be just a claimer.
Also check the speed at "low speed" to save communication volume. The maximum speed announced by "OCN Mobile ONE" is 200Kbps, but this is also overspeeding. The result is "260Kbps" on the downlink and "370Kbps" on the uplink. Regarding the communication speed, from the user's point of view, "Please speed up more and more! "I'm feeling.
Moreover, we offer free options such as "OCN Mobile ONE" and "MUSIC Count Free". Communication of compatible music distribution services is no count. In other words, they listen to music without worrying about the capacity. If you keep listening to music while commuting to work or school, the amount of communication will be enormous. It doesn't count at all. And it's free! It's like a dream.
"Free options" are not limited to "MUSIC count free". Furthermore, "OCN Mobile ONE" can use more than 80,000 Wi-Fi spots nationwide. If you use the Wi-Fi spot for large-capacity data communication, you can significantly reduce the monthly communication volume. "OCN Mobile ONE" that can improve cost performance by users. Among the many "cheap SIMs", it is definitely recommended.
