Can this new phone erase her memories?

Are you planning to buy the new Damson S22 to replace your old phone, just like you're looking for new love to fill the void your ex left behind? In this review, we'll look into whether that'll be a good decision. 

At first glance, the phone looks like an engineering marvel; you just can't help appreciate its vibrant display, sweet-talking voice assistant, and sharp camera. It reminds me of the very first date with that special someone, now my ex. I thought she was the one, that she would save me, that I would get fixed. Alas, Cynthia left me in tatters, like any violently malfunctioning phone would.

That's why I won't let the S22 lure me into its potential trap. First dat … err… unboxings are deceptive, now I know. This phone will go through a trial by fire, to determine whether it is truly worthy of my love.

Speaking of display, this phone has one of the best ones in the market, perfect for looking back at the cherished memories with your loved ones. But since the love of my life has left me, what's even the point. I've deleted all the photos, all the videos, everything that reminds me of her. So, I give this display a 4/10.

The voice-assistant is understanding, responsive, and conversational, unlike a certain someone. It tends to my needs, is extremely smart, and obeys everything I say. Hopefully, AI develops enough that I won't ever have to open my heart up to cold-blooded Cynthias.

Finally, the S22's camera is revolutionary. You can trust its 24-megapixel sensor to capture any precious moment without a hitch. But can this sensor sense my sadness? Every day, I wake up, send myself a good-morning selfie and ask "babu ki koro?", but it's not the same. I got the perfect camera but lost the perfect person to take pictures with.

Cynthia, please come back. We can make this work. This time it'll be different -- now that I have the brand new Damson S22, on sale for Tk 99,999.
