Playing Asphalt 9 on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and aptX compatible earphones in the 2,000 yen range was awesome

Playing Asphalt 9 on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and aptX compatible earphones in the 2,000 yen range was awesome

Equipped with Snapdragon 720G, Xiaomi's high midrange "Redmi Note 9S" has top-class processing power in the Japanese midrange market. In addition, it has a large 6.67-inch screen, long-term operation with an ultra-large capacity battery of 5,020mAh, and support for high-quality Bluetooth codecs such as "aptX", "aptX HD", and "LDAC". "Game" can make full use of the high performance of "Redmi Note 9S", which is full of high specs.

According to a survey by MMD Research Institute and Smart Answer, the usage rate of game apps is the fourth highest overall, at "23.3%", which is quite high.

However, there are not many smartphones that are suitable for playing games. To play online games comfortably, you need "high processing power," "large screen," "long battery life," and if you use Bluetooth earphones, "support for low-latency codecs." If you do not clear various high specs, you will feel some dissatisfaction while playing. However, it is "Redmi Note 9S" that clears all of these.

With the installation of "Snapdragon 720G", Antutu's benchmark score is "278521". Generally, if Antutu's benchmark score exceeds "200,000", there is no problem in playing the game. "Redmi Note 9S" has a GPU score of over 70,000, so it's perfect in terms of processing power.

The display is a fairly large "6.67 inch". The aspect ratio is as wide as 20: 9, which widens the field of view during gameplay and makes it easier to find enemies in FPS. Furthermore, since it supports up to HDR10, there are no complaints in terms of specifications.

It takes more than 25 hours to reduce the battery from 100% to 20%. In addition to the large capacity battery of 5,020mAh, the power efficiency of Snapdragon 720G is high, so such an overwhelming long-time drive is realized. If you change the model from a terminal with a small battery capacity such as iPhone or Pixel, you will definitely be surprised because the battery does not run out too much.

In addition, "Redmi Note 9S" supports various codecs such as "aptX", "aptX HD", and "LDAC", so it works perfectly with Bluetooth earphones. If you choose earphones only for low delay, "aptX" is enough, but if you want to enjoy high resolution sound source with high sound quality, it is best to choose a model that also supports "aptX HD". I also want to listen to high-resolution audio sources on "Amazon Music HD", so this time I bought a Bluetooth earphone that also supports "aptX HD".

It's from Amazon's popular "TaoTronics", and while supporting "AAC", "aptX", and "aptX HD", when I bought it, a time sale happened by chance, so it was very cheap at the 2,000 yen level. When I actually played the HD sound source of "Amazon Music HD", I firmly recognized the high resolution sound source with "aptX HD".

Next is the main game. Play "Asphalt 9", which has a reputation for overwhelming graphic beauty. I didn't feel the effect of the low delay codec or any noticeable delay. Of course, the sense of presence is outstanding. Considering the purchase price of 2,000 yen, I am very satisfied. The biggest advantage of switching earphones from wired to Bluetooth is that they are free from cables. The benefits are especially strong when playing games. The sound quality is inferior to wired, but if you want to play games or watch videos, Bluetooth is the best. The combination of "Redmi Note 9S" and "Low Delay Bluetooth Earphones" was the best!

Redmi Note 9S "6GB / 128GB" model is now available at a bargain SIM! Cheap SALE start at 15:00 on August 17th! Be careful of out of stock!

Finally, "Cheap SIM" has started handling the large-capacity model "6GB / 128GB model" of "Redmi Note 9S". Moreover, a limited color called "Interstellar Gray" (Interstellar Gray is also added to the 4GB / 64GB model). Furthermore, in commemoration of the release of limited colors, a super-discount sale suddenly started. By purchasing the voice SIM and "Redmi Note 9S" at the same time, the price of the 4GB / 64GB model will be reduced to "9,800 yen (tax included: 10,780 yen)" and the price of the 6GB / 128GB model will be reduced to "14,800 yen (16,280 yen)".

The high midrange model with the Snapdragon 720G is too cheap.

But what kind of color is "Interstellar Gray"? As far as the rendered image is seen, it feels like silver with a little depth. In fact, this color is already on sale in the global market. The limited model "Redmi Note 9S MFF 2020 Limited Edition" released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Xiaomi's founding corresponds to this.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S goo Simseller limited color

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S MFF 2020 Limited Edition

And I actually own "Redmi Note 9S MFF 2020 Limited Edition". I would like to convey the texture and charm of the limited edition colors ahead of the introduction of "Interstellar Gray" into the Japanese market.

The actual "Interstellar Gray" is not just a gray scale, but a slightly bluish and elegant color. As you can see, it's definitely impossible to guess the price. I own another "White" of "Redmi Note 9S", but in terms of luxury, it is overwhelmingly "Interstellar Gray". I don't think it's the same price.

Limited color of "Redmi Note 9S" that makes you feel even divine. It goes perfectly with the three-dimensional processing on the back. It enhances the value of a higher-capacity model. If you feel that "green is a little too flashy" and "white is a little cheap" that has already been released, be sure to select "Interstellar Gray".

The sale will start from 15:00 on Monday, August 17th. At the last "Release Commemorative Special Sale", it was so popular that it quickly became "out of stock". Not only is the sale price even cheaper than the "Release Commemorative Specials SALE", but the "6GB" model has been added to the "Cheap SIM" for the first time. Unless you have a lot of stock, it will be "out of stock" in no time. The strongest cospa model "Redmi Note 9S" that continues to monopolize the 1st and 2nd place in Amazon's SIM-free smartphone sales ranking. Please get the "6GB model" which will be a limited color!

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!

"OCN Mobile ONE" which sells smartphones at a discount. Actually, the usage fee is also cheap. It's so cheap that I'm a little worried if the essential "communication quality" is okay. "Cheap SIM" rents a line (bandwidth) from a carrier to provide a communication environment, so if you reduce costs, the communication speed will slow down. Even if you set a low communication charge, it is meaningless if the speed is slow. So, I actually used the SIM of "OCN Mobile ONE" to measure 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.

Communication quality is "ultra-high quality" no matter how you look at it. Click here for a surprisingly low usage fee. It is easy to understand and compared with the docomo price.

Line: docomo line

Contract plan: Communication 1GB voice compatible SIM

Monthly usage fee: 3,150 yen (tax included: 3,465 yen)

Call charge: 30 seconds / 20 yen (tax included: 22 yen) * Free for family members

Minimum contract period: None

All-you-can-eat: No time limit = 1,700 yen (tax included: 1,870 yen) Within 5 minutes as many times as you like = 700 yen (tax included: 770 yen)

Line: docomo line

Contract plan: Communication 1GB voice compatible SIM

Monthly usage fee: 1,180 yen (tax included: 1,298 yen)

Call charges: [Normal] 30 seconds / 20 yen (tax included: 22 yen) [OCN Denwa app used] 30 seconds / 10 yen (tax included: 11 yen)

Unlimited calls: Within 10 minutes as many times as you like = 850 yen (tax included: 935 yen) Calls to the top 3 numbers with call charges = 850 yen (tax included: 935 yen) Calls as many times as you like within 10 minutes + calls to the top 3 numbers with call charges Set = 1300 yen (tax included: 1,430 yen)

Overwhelmingly low monthly charges and call charges. The communication speed has also been proven, so it is a level that I do not know the reason for not switching. 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 highly recommended.

I tried to verify how high the cost performance of the god smartphone Xiaomi "Redmi Note 9S" is.

Choosing a smartphone with high performance is, in a sense, easy. All you have to do is select "a model with a high benchmark score of Antutu". However, some models specialize only in scores. For example, a car made by an American manufacturer that has great horsepower but poor fuel economy and a high failure rate.

You don't want to use such a smartphone very much. Besides that, if the software is not developed and updated properly, the image quality of the camera will be poor and the problems will not be improved, so you will feel stress after purchasing.

According to Counterpointo's findings, Nokia is the first to offer updates to the latest Android version, the second is Xiaomi and the third is Lenovo. These makers are doing a lot of updates. However, compared to "Xiaomi", "Nokia" and "Lenovo" have a smaller number of models on sale, and there are many problems after the update. In the case of "Xiaomi", despite the large number of models on sale, the update speed is fast and the quality is excellent. In other words, if you have a Xiaomi smartphone, you can use it with confidence even if you choose a smartphone based on Antutu's benchmark score.

The most recommended Xiaomi smartphone with a high Antutu score is "Redmi Note 9S". The manufacturer's selling price of "Redmi Note 9S" is 24,800 yen (tax included) for the 4GB / 64GB model and 29,800 yen (tax included) for the 6GB / 128GB model. However, other midranges cannot exceed this "Redmi Note 9S" in the 20,000 yen range (the price list of the midrange will be shown later in the article). And the trouble is that they also correspond to the higher-end models of Xiaomi.

You can easily see how good the Redmi Note 9S is by comparing Antutu's benchmarks. First of all, a comparison of "Redmi Note 9S" equipped with "Snapdragon 720G" and "Mi Note 10" equipped with "Snapdragon 730G". Other models equipped with "Snapdragon 730G" include "Mi Note 10 Lite", "Mi Note 10 Pro", and "Google Pixel 4a" to be released soon. It is easy to judge that "Snapdragon 730G" has better performance in terms of number, but the measurement results are as you can see. "Snapdragon 720G" is a newer generation than "Snapdragon 730G", so the result is lower in number but higher in score.

Next, "Snapdragon 665", which is widely installed in the recently released midrange such as "OPPO Reno3 A", "Xperia 10 II" and "moto g8 POWER". Click here for a comparison of "Redmi Note 8" and "Redmi Note 9S" equipped with the same Soc. If there is such a big difference, it can no longer be treated as the same rank. The difference between "midrange" and "high midrange" has become clear.

Looking at the release prices of terminals equipped with "Snapdragon 720G", "Snapdragon 730G", and "Snapdragon 665", the overwhelming cost performance of "Redmi Note 9S" is highlighted.

As you can see from the above price, not only the model equipped with "Snapdragon 730G" but also the "Redmi Note 9S" with a lower price than the terminal equipped with "Snapdragon 665" which is clearly a lower spec. If there is such a difference, I think that all the parts other than Soc are low specs, but I will tell you that it is a mistake later in this article.

Four benefits of purchasing the Redmi Note 9S "6GB / 128GB" model

"Memory" and "storage" are used to read and write data on smartphones. Since memory is faster to read and write than storage, you can experience the increase in speed while operating as the memory capacity increases.

Also, when using "multitasking" that uses multiple apps at the same time, the memory consumed is particularly large, so for those who frequently use multitasking, the model equipped with "large capacity memory" is recommended. The memory capacity of 4GB and 6GB is 1.5 times different, so the more memory you normally use, the more comfortable it will be.

"Redmi Note 9S" can increase the data capacity with a Micro SD card. However, the storage of the 6GB model is "128GB". There is no need to purchase a Micro SD card separately. In addition, since the amount of data that can be exchanged at one time is generally larger in the internal storage than in the Micro SD card, data transmission / reception can be completed with a small number of reads / writes.

As the number of readings and writings increases, the power consumption increases, so it will be greatly affected when playing a video that reads data for a long time. This is why when you play a video on a Micro SD card, you feel that the battery has run out. If you save videos in the large-capacity internal storage of "128GB", the load on the battery and the terminal will be reduced, making watching videos more comfortable than ever.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9Sと2千円台のapt X対応イヤフォンでAsphalt 9をプレイしたら最高だった

The camera of "Redmi Note 9S" supports ultra-high resolution shooting of 48 million pixels. Shooting at ultra-high resolution has the great advantage of being able to trim only the required part in a practical size.

However, if you set it to 48 million pixels and shoot, the amount of data per sheet will be 10MB or more. If the storage capacity is "64GB", I hesitate to shoot frequently. If you double the "128GB", you can afford it, so you can easily shoot at ultra-high resolution. It's a waste if you don't use a high-performance camera.

The colors of "Redmi Note 9S" released in the Japanese market are "Glacial White" and "Aurora Blue". A new addition to this is "Interstellar Gray," which is a goo Simseller limited edition color.

Since it is a color that has not been announced in the Japanese market, naturally few people have it, and you can get a premier feeling that other colors do not have. Also, "Interstellar Gray" will be the same color as the "Limited Model" released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Xiaomi's founding, so the "special" element is even stronger.

The reason I recommend the Redmi Note 9S is not just because it's cheap. Redmi Note 9S is sold directly by authorized distributors on Amazon. However, when I search for products with "Redmi Note 9S", I see a lot of Redmi Note 9S other than those sold by authorized distributors. It's not a case, it's the body.

Terminals other than those sold by authorized distributors are called "global models" and are sold in overseas markets. Regarding the "Mi Note 10" that Xiaomi introduced for the first time in the Japanese market, there was no big difference between the "global model" and the "Japanese model". This is because the "technical suitability mark" required for Japanese smartphones has been added in the update, and the "frequency band" required for communication is the same for the "global model" and "Japanese model". You can use the lines of all carriers such as "docomo", "Softbank", "au" and "Rakuten Mobile".

I thought that the same flow would be applied to "Redmi Note 9S", but at the moment (6/17), the global model has not been updated. In other words, there is a possibility that the "global model" and the "Japanese model" are clearly separated this time.

The difference between the "global model" and the "Japanese model" lies in the types of "bands" they support. The main item you should see is "FDD LTE". The global models are "B1", "B2", "B3", "4", "5", "7", "8", "20" and "28". The Japanese model corresponds to the bands "B1", "B2", "B3", "4", "5", "7", "8", "18", "19", "20", "26" and "28".

Three bands "18", "19" and "26" have been added to the Japanese model. Analyzing these three bands, "18" and "26" are bands for au, and "19" is a band for NTT DoCoMo. The band "19" will be a band for mountainous areas and suburbs, so most people will not be greatly affected by daily use.

However, the problem is "au". Band "18" is an essential band for au. In other words, if you have a SIM contract with an au line, you should give up using it with the global model. Band 18 also supports the partner area (au line) of "Rakuten UN-LIMIT". Even when using "Rakuten UN-LIMIT", it is NG to use the global model. On the contrary, if it is a Japanese model, there is no problem with au and "Rakuten UN-LIMIT".

The following is a rough division of which telecommunications carriers both models support.

[Docomo] ◎ [Softbank / Ymobile:] ◎ [au] ◎ [Rakuten Unlimit] ◎

[Docomo] ○ [Softbank / Ymobile:] ◎ [au] △ [Rakuten Unlimit] △

In addition, since the technical suitability mark has not been acquired as a global model, it is up to you to make your own judgment regarding its use.

Of course, "Redmi Note 9S" released on OCN Mobile ONE is a "Japanese model". In other words, it is more valuable than the price actually sold.

Xiaomi's "Redmi Note 9S" has top-class performance in the Japanese mid-range smartphone market in terms of "camera image quality" and "game performance." I have discovered an even more ridiculous side of the high midrange, which is no longer in a state of no enemy.

The battery capacity of "Redmi Note 9S" is "5,020mAh". It is clear from the numbers that it has a large capacity battery. However, with the recent increase in capacity, smartphones with a battery capacity of over 5,000 mAh can now be seen. However, even if the battery capacity is large, the "continuous drive time" will fluctuate greatly due to the performance difference between Soc and AI.

So how do you know the continuous drive time? No way, I can't keep operating "Redmi Note 9S" all day long. PCMark's "battery life" does that for you. Battery life assumes that you are browsing the web or watching videos, and will continue to operate on its own until the battery capacity drops from 100% to 20%. I also used that battery life in "Redmi Note 9S" to verify the continuous drive time.

Then, in an unbelievable situation. The measurement started around midnight, and even at midnight the next day, the measurement has not been completed yet. So far, I have verified various terminals with battery life, but of course this is the first time. I was worried that it might have broken, but if it breaks in the first place, it should have stopped moving. Click here for the battery life measurement results of "Redmi Note 9S", which has significantly updated the record high.

"25 hours 31 minutes". It's been over a day. It means that the battery will last for more than a day even if you use it all the time. Since 20% of the battery is left, it can be used for 30 hours or more until the battery runs out by simple calculation. This one collapses before the battery of "Redmi Note 9S" runs out.

Now, let's take a look at the battery life ranking published by PCMark to see how long the continuous drive time of other terminals is.

The first place in the ranking is "Xiaomi Mi Max 2" with "23 hours 5 minutes". The "Mi Max" series that defines the category of stamina smartphones. It's an old model, but it's a great performance. And in second place is "Mi 10 Pro" which is also the latest model of Xiaomi. The continuous drive time is "21 hours 8 minutes".

"Redmi Note 9S" achieves an overwhelming continuous drive time that exceeds Mi Max 2 for about two and a half hours and Mi 10 Pro for more than four hours. In addition to "camera image quality" and "game performance", the performance as a "stamina smartphone" is so high.

"Snapdragon Elite Gaming" released by Qualcomm in 2018. In addition to the latest Soc for the flagship model, even in the midrange model, if the installed Soc has "G", it will correspond to this Snapdragon Elite Gaming.

So what exactly is Snapdragon Elite Gaming? The main features are "20% reduction in power consumption during graphic processing", "up to 20% improvement in GPU performance", "double enhancement of AI performance", "up to 45% increase in CPU performance", and "maximum read time at startup". "10% reduction", "optimization of audio quality" and so on.

And the new addition is the upgrade function of the GPU driver alone. The GPU driver update has been done for personal computers so far. Originally, GPU updates are necessary to play newly released games in the best environment. As the specifications required for playing games on smartphones, such as support for high-speed display, are increasing year by year, flexible upgrades of GPU drivers have become inevitable.

In other words, regarding the game environment, the latest flagship model and the mid-range model with "G" attached to Soc can receive "special treatment". So, in the midrange, how many Socs have a "G"? 4 models of "Snapdragon 730G" "Snapdragon 720G" "Snapdragon 765G" "Snapdragon 768G". Fortunately, the models equipped with "Snapdragon 730G" and "Snapdragon 720G" have already been sold in the Japanese market. That is the "Mi Note 10" series and "Redmi Note 9S".

Regarding the model equipped with Snapdragon 765G, Softbank plans to release "OPPO Reno3 5G" in late July. It is not planned to be sold separately as SIM-free, and it will be out of the options for users who want to use it casually with a cheap SIM.

The "Redmi Note 9S" is a model equipped with "G" that is the easiest to buy as a SIM-free terminal and realizes a low price of 20,000 yen. The latest model just released the other day, the Soc will be equipped with the Snapdragon 720G. Since the Snapdragon 720G is a late model of the 730G, it is often seen as a lower model in terms of model name, but its performance is higher than the 730G. By actually comparing the scores of Antutu and AI, the difference in performance has become clear. Especially in AI performance, it is a surprisingly overwhelming evolution.

I actually played a game with "Redmi Note 9S" carrying a precious "G" sign. The movement is not sluggish at all, and it is not much different from playing with the flagship model sensuously. And the huge 6.67-inch display is a perfect match for the processing power of the Snapdragon 720G.

The reason why the new iPhone SE cannot fully utilize the processing power of the A13 Bionioc is largely due to the small display. In the case of FPS like PUBG, it is even more so because the size of the screen is directly linked to the advantage. "Redmi Note 9S" equipped with high game suitability by Snapdragon Elite Gaming and an oversized display of 6.67 inches. The cheapest smartphone that's perfect for games. After all, it must be said that it is invincible in the current Japanese market.

"Waterproof performance" is popular among Japanese smartphone users, especially women. Smartphone manufacturers use a standard called "IP" to show this waterproof performance in an easy-to-understand manner. However, it is also true that an acquisition fee will be incurred in order to take the IP standard. The cost will increase and the selling price will increase accordingly.

Some manufacturers do not acquire IP standards and make smartphones waterproof for the purpose of improving convenience for users. The price is low because the cost is kept down. Still, it has waterproof performance. Is there really such a smartphone with the best cost performance?

The latest model of Xiaomi, "Redmi Note 9S", which is currently attracting the most attention in the Japanese SIM-free smartphone market. "Redmi Note 9S" is exactly the best model of COSPA. "Redmi Note 9S" has a water-repellent treatment called "P2i Nano Coating".

This is a new technology developed by the British company "P2i" over a long period of 10 years. The ultra-thin water-repellent nano-coating by patented ultra-high precision plasma processing achieves the highest level of water-repellent performance. The feature of "P2i Nano Coating" is that it can maintain high quality that surpasses other companies even in the field of mass production by making full use of the knowledge of the specialized field.

Click here for a video of the Xiaomi Mi 9T aka Redmi K20 series released in 2019, which is actually coated with P2i nano-coating. The pop-up camera, earphone jack, speaker, and even the USB Type-C port have been thoroughly processed to prevent water from entering. Watch this video to get a good idea of ​​how waterproof the Redmi Note 9S is.

You can buy the IP standard "Redmi Note 9S" for 30,000 yen, and you can buy the P2i nano-coated "Redmi Note 9S" for 20,000 yen without acquiring the IP standard. Which do you prefer? I'm definitely the latter.

"Redmi Note 9S" was actually used for "ultra-beautiful camera image quality," "high processing power for crisp games," "long-time drive that exceeds stamina smartphones," "ultra-state-of-the-art design," and "easy-to-see ultra-large screen." This is my image. Currently, overlooking the Japanese SIM-free smartphone market, there is no model that can compete with "Redmi Note 9S" in the same price range. There is a considerable difference in spec level before actually comparing using all terminals.

The beautiful camera image quality is completely inherited from the flagship model. Among the smartphones released by Xiaomi, the one with the highest image quality is the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.

Mi 10 Pro is currently the 4th largest in the world on the world's most famous site "DxOMark" that expresses the image quality of the camera by score. In other words, Xiaomi's smartphone camera image quality is one of the best in the world.

It's not just the physical camera sensors and lenses that affect the image quality of a smartphone's camera. Software is just as important. In other words, unless you are a manufacturer who is good at software development technology, you can never reach the top rank in the world in terms of smartphone camera image quality.

The Mi 10 Pro is in the top 5 in the world because Xiaomi's software technology is overwhelmingly superior. That technology is also used in "Redmi Note 9S". By combining the software with the high AI performance of Snapdragon 720G, Xiaomi's unique environment where anyone can easily take high-quality pictures is built.

I am an amateur because I have never studied photography professionally. I like to take pictures, but I'm not good at sideways. When taking a test shot with "Redmi Note 9S", only "Auto" or "Macro" setting is set so far. In other words, it's taken quite appropriately.

If your smartphone is in the 20,000 to 40,000 yen range, please take a picture with the same composition.そして、画質を見比べてみてください。そうすることで、『Redmi Note 9S』のカメラの実力が見えてきます。

また、『Redmi Note 9S』には、『スカイフィルター』という最新の画像加工技術が搭載されています。AIが空と建物を自動的に識別。スカイフィルターにプリセットされている天候を選択する事で、画像は一瞬にしてその天候に切り替わります。撮影した時はパッとしない画像でも、スカイフィルターを使えば全く違った雰囲気に。それでは、私が実際撮影した画像に、スカイフィルターを適用してみたいと思います。

Copy Rakuten Mobile ID

この楽天モバイルIDは、『Rakuten UN-LIMIT 』を契約すると付与されるもの。その楽天モバイルIDを使って誰かを紹介すれば、最大15,000ポイント(5名分)のお小遣い稼ぎも可能となります。

ただし、この『Rakuten UN-LIMIT 』、1年間無料で使えるのは『先着300万人』限定です。『満足出来なければ無料で解約できる』という安心感もプラスされ、応募が殺到しています。300万人を超えた時点でプラン利用料は月々2,980円に。現在行われている還元キャンペーンも、恐らく終了するでしょう。これはもう、急ぐしかありません。
