Pros of PHP-Centric Side projects
I have built a few database systems with PHP and MySQL, with the system relying heavily on PHP. I use minimal Javascript on my side projects due to the fact that I have no control over web browser updates, nor do I have control over the intended users of my products habit of updating their browsers, which is a prerequisit of running PHP-MySQL system. I am aware that intigrating Javascript functions in web pages imrpoves functionality signifaicantly, but that the whole system would potentially brake and will be rendered unsuable for some time. Due to my clients are mostly small businesses and has no in-house I.T programmer, and assuming that they might not find other willing or able developers in my area if I'm not able to address their problems with browser compatibility.
Using Nokia Lumia 550 as my main phone for 8 months.
I have been using the Lumia 550 since April 2016 and honetly I am satisfied with what I get from it considering it is a budget phone in our country's standards. I bought it for 7000 pesos ($140-US).
The phone comes with:
Windows 10 mobile OS
2100mah battery
Qualcom 210 Snapdragon
8GB internal storage
Micro SD expansion
Single nano sim
5MP rear camera
2MP front camera
4.7 inch display @ 720P
Earphones
Charger
The phone requires to connect to the internet on its first startup to activate Windows 10 and download its apps. Windows 10 mobile performs well on my daily tasks and in my opinion, it is well optimized for the phone's hardware due to the absence of perfromance drops in my tests.
I had the impression that 2100mah batteries will be just enough. I was surprised that when its fully charged, it can last more than three weeks on standby. Normal uses such as texting and playing music can last up to a week. The Lumia 550 needs more 2 hours to fully charge.
The Qualcom 210 Snapdragon is enough for a phone with this price. I never expected a cutting edge performance from it, however, I am comfortable on how it performs.
Like any other internal storage, phone will occupy storage space out of the box, and will expand more in the future. In my case, my phone now consume 3GB of internal storage out of its 8GB. That's why I store all my pictures, videos and music file on the micro SD expansion.
