Facing the reality, “you have been scammed”.

Ever invested your hard-earned cash in a tech product, thinking this could be of good use, days passed, months passed, and it turns out your experience was underwhelming. And you are probably thinking, “Did I get scammed?” If this is your thought, then I will be the first to tell you that “Yes, you have been scammed.”

I have also been a victim of this heartbreak, and I must say it is painful. That’s why I created a list of a few devices, tech, and gadgets that are to be avoided at all costs. ( Disclaimer: this is my opinion).

Gadgets to Avoid!!

Intel Celeron Laptop

In college, I actually used this laptop because my funds were low. It got the job done, but at what cost ? An overheating PC, a weak processor, no anti-virus, low cache memory, and an outright badly performing laptop. I wouldn’t wish this laptop on my enemies. If you really are in need of a PC with high performance and cheap, I recommend a refurbished laptop.

iPhone 15

So Apple really put in a USB-C in the iPhone 15 ten years late and called it an upgrade. Android started selling phones with USB-C ports in 2015, and throughout this time, everyone was wondering when Apple would follow suit to make consumers’ lives easier, by making their ecosystems use one cable. If that isn’t a scam, I don’t know what is.

Samsung’s lower than A-20

When buying a Samsung, you have to understand that there are levels. The lower the level, the lower the performance, and the more headaches. Samsung’s with an A Class under 20 are usually cheaply made, and aren’t made to handle even basic tasks. After some periods, you might experience buttons not working, the screen not responding, the earphone jack not working, or a battery not charging, and other unimaginable things.

“Your Bluetooth device is connected successfully “- kind of speaker

If you have heard that tune, then me calling it a scam is an understatement. Why is it that the speakers with this tune are usually cheaply made, faulty, and downright low quality?

USB Drives (with fake storage )

Imagine your space runs out for your PC, desktop, or camera, and you desperately need space. Your device is warning you of a bad performance, slow speeds, and insufficient space. You are basically in need of more space now. And so you buy an SD card or hard drive, which claims to have a certain capacity of storage, only for you to insert the storage device, and you realize that

You have been tricked, the capacity is lower, and you were only shown a false reading.
