I am getting mixed feedback about iPhone 12. Some want to order it ASAP because their phones are very old and their batteries doesn’t last at all and some won’t upgrade until Apple redesign the iPhone. Having the same exact design as iPhone X isn’t exciting for some users, and they got bored of the design and specifically the notch. Now the question is where to pre-order iPhone 12 from in Kuwait.

The most common option I see is ordering it directly from Apple where they ship it directly to a forwarding address such as PostShipper which is tax free. This option is great because the charges aren’t much, but it lack warranty.

The other option is to buy from one of the local stores in Kuwait.

In the past it was a was complex to report electricity outage to ministry of electricity. I remember I used to call the Badala and ask for the emergency phone number. Today it is much easier where I reported an electricity outage and in less than an hour, electricity was back. The ministry of electricity in Kuwait released an app called MEW 152 and it is very simple to report an outage using this app. Try it out in case you need it.

The Best Gaming TVs for Playstation 5 (PS5) & Xbox Series X | S

Posted on by ryuker

A lot of people are asking about upgrading their TVs for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. The question is how to take advantage of the capabilities of the new consoles. The first thing to keep in mind that both PS5 and Xbox Series X support 4K and 120Hz. Sadly there aren’t many TV’s that support 120Hz right now and especially in Kuwait. HDR 10 is another component that is really important, so don’t miss it out.

If you have a TV that support 4K and 120Hz you must use HDMI 2.1 cable, which a lot of people didn’t know about. Not only that, you have to use the HDMI 2.1 slot in the TV as the other slots could be normal HDMI slots. My favorite TV’s has been always OLED TV’s but there aren’t many options in Kuwait. The best ranked gaming TV isn’t available in Kuwait at all, and I have no clue if they will ever bring it to the market or not. Now we will focus on the best gaming TV’s with 4K or 8K, 120Hz, and HDR10.

LG CX/GX 4K Line

LG CX/GX 77 inch 4K Smart OLED TV is ranked the best gaming TV in the market. This is the TV I really want to buy, and it will be available in Kuwait in 2-3 months. A lot of people are waiting for it to be released, and some already bought it from B&H or UAE. In terms of specs, it is one of the highest specs in the market. I will compare it with the new Sony A90J and decide which one to buy

Sony X900H 4K Line

This is the first line that Sony listed as Playstation 5 ready. This is a more affordable line than the Z8H which comes in 8K. For those who bought the X900H line, the update rolling right now will trigger the 4K 120Hz.

X900H : Xcite (55 inch, 75 inch, 85 inch)

X950H : Xcite (55 inch, 65 inch, 75 inch)

 

Sony Z8H 8K Line

The Z8H is available at Xcite right now, but it is a very expensive. I honestly wouldn’t buy 8K right now, so I will wait for prices to drop before switching to 8K TV’s. I think it will still take few years until it becomes a standard in the market. This is other line that Sony listed as Playstation 5 ready as well.

Xcite (75 inch, 85 inch)

 

Samsung Q70T, Q80T 4K Line

My friends have been buying TVs from this line. They love it so far, but there is a newer line that isn’t released in Kuwait yet which is the Q80T and Q90T. The Q80T & Q90T are recommended much more than the Q70T. I personally saw them playing on the Q70T and it was really great. If someone wants to buy it, I would say wait few more months until they release the Q80T/Q90T.

Best Electronics (65 inch, 75 inch)

Samsung Q90 8K Line

This line is similar to Sony Z8H 8K Line and both are very expensive, because they are 8K. I can find this line in multiple retailers in Kuwait, but I still wouldn’t buy it yet due to the price.

Xcite: (65 Inch, 75 Inch, 82 Inch)

Andalus: (65 Inch, 75 Inch, 82 Inch)

Best Electronics: (75 Inch, 82 Inch)

From all of these options, I am interested in LG 77 GX OLED TV. I believe that OLED TVs look the best when it comes to gaming, so I will monitor the upcoming TVs and update this list.

Pixel 5 Could Have Been Much Better

After switching to other Android phones, I realized that I already miss the pure Android experience. I decided to go back to Pixel once Google release Pixel 5. After the announcement of Pixel 5, I was disappointed by two things. The first thing is the processor Snapdragon 765G and I expected a better processor to be used. The other thing is the lack of storage. 128 GB is no longer enough for me right now. The amount of videos and pictures I receive via Whatsapp is much more than ever. It gets filled really fast, so I expect 256 GB at least. The ideal is 512 GB because I don’t have to worry about storage at all. I wish they offered 512 GB even at higher price tag, but that wasn’t the case. Now I am stuck and not sure what to buy for a next smartphone.

Dai | A Really Impressive Remake That is Worth Watching

A lot of people watched Dai (داي الشجاع) back in the late 90’s. I watched all of the episodes in Arabic and after episode 46 it suddenly stopped. Back then I thought it was just the Arabic version that stopped, but years later I found out that even the Japanese version stopped at 46. Back then I decided to read the manga and I read the entire story and I never thought that they will remake it all over again. I wish they make it in Arabic one more time, but I don’t think that will ever happen. I highly recommend watching the remake of Dai 2020, and this time I hope they continue it until the end.

Last month I started to look for Canada Dry Cream Soda all over Kuwait. I luckily found it at a store called Hi and Buy on Deliveroo. Each can cost 350 Fils. I bought 24 cans so they delivered 1 full pack of 24 cans. The next day I brought some to my parents house, and my sister in law told me that they sell it at a place called Supplierskw and it cost 200 Fils per can. Yesterday I found lots of packs in AlQadsiya Co-op, so it seems it is available all over Kuwait once again.

How To Renew Kuwait Civil ID For Kuwaitis Online

I was trying to renew my Civil ID online, and I found multiple websites and most of them were down. I got confused of what to do, and after extensive research I barely found the right site. For Kuwaitis to renew their Civil ID, go to this PACI website. Enter your ID number then the serial number which you can also find on your civil ID. You then have to add a phone number where you will receive an OTP code. For some reason some phone numbers don’t receive it and some do. I used my main phone number but never received anything, so I used another number and it worked. Then you upload your old Civil ID from front and back and upload a digital picture as well. There are guidelines of how the picture must look like. PACI will review the order and will then send you a link to pay around 5 KD or so and then you will receive it from the place they list in the message.
