Does anyone have hands on experience with the A55 and can vouch that it can play 4k/60fps videos? I'm aware the camera is capped at 4k/30fps recording, but the marketing page for the Exynos 1480 the phone uses says it supports *up to 4k/60fps playback. I'm strongly considering the A55 because I'm not a gamer or photographer, but I do value a good screen, stereo speakers, and expandable storage for consuming media during the downtime of my job. I'm an American, and we got cucked out of an official release, so I can't just go to Best Buy to test 4k/60fps youtube videos on the phone.
I have just installed a terminal on my phone.What are some fun packages to install and mess around with?
Already installed yt-dlp, it's good.Was disappointed my phone doesn't support neofetch, really?
>>100050262But I'm bored of my iPhone, and a new iPhone will just be the same thing
>>100051128imagine how retarded you have to be to not only buy a Pixel phone, but a folding one to boot.
>>100051128Dont call my GODphone an iToy you faggot
I am using kurobaex' swipe up gesture to close pics, but ever since updating to hyper os that causes a delay of several seconds.Does anyone else have the same issue and is there a way to fix that?
>>100051128hello /g/, my mother needs a new phone. right now its either a USED xiaomi redmi note 11s or a NEW (SEALED) samsung galaxy s9.
>>100051475Every 2-3 years iPhones get a new design and you can buy a new case^^>>100052073>used xiaomemevs>sealed galaxySoftware might be outdated on the s9 but anthing is better than the bugfest miui.
>>100052073s9 lol
>>100052073S9
Is a foldable worth it? Thinking getting the Honor V2.
>>100052073Why are these your only options
Anons I'm getting tired of my iPhone. It's too limiting. I bought it because more girls talked to me when my text bubbles were blue but it isn't worth it. Does the S22 hold up still? I'm also thinking about the Note 20 Ultra and S23.
I was thinking about purchasing a HiSense A5 e-ink phone. I don't play games or watch videos at all, i barely use the phone for more then just messaging with friends and family, are these ones any good or im going to get bamboozled?
>>100052607S23 > N20U > S22Assuming all Snapdragon.
>>100052769>he's about to fall for the e-ink meme
>>100051128Can someone please explain to me as though I am a brainlet what the fuck is the difference between the Samsung Galaxy s24u Global version and USA version? Which one should I buy?
>>100053861There's no real difference. For the ultra that is, the s24 and s24+ have inferior chips outside the US and canada
>>100053939Is there any reason the unlocked global version is 250 dollars cheaper on Amazon? Thank you
>>100053861>>100053994If you use it in the US, you won't get mmW 5G on the global model. Only the US model has these bands.
>>100053994It seems like the global version might have worse connectivity in the US actually
>>100054021>>100054028mmW 5g is all 5g or is it just one band of 5g?
>>100054042It's a faster kind of 5G, but with fairly poor coverage. You will still get 5G, but not mmW 5G. If you plan to use it in the US, I suggest buying the US version. Otherwise get the global version, since it's overall a better device as it has an unlocked bootloader and 2 SIM slots.
>>100054244Ok I will get the global version because I need to travel sometimes and am too retarded to try to figure out Esim. TY

>>100051128Hey you guys. Looking for a phone that has dual-sim cards, great battery, and is relatively small and affordable. I care more about the chip than the cameras. I'd like it to be less than $400. Is the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 gonna be dogshit? I currently have a oneplus 8 TMO and it was great until they fucked around with the os. Even my timer app is fucked. Only 1 timer at a time now and I gotta do this combination dial situation and it just sucks. Biggest gripe is how dogshit the battery is. I barely use it and I get to like 50% battery by 1500. I don't even use tiktok, watch videos, or play games. I just use my cellphone to chat on telegram or for spotify at the gym. Any help would be appreciated.
Orange cheeto really did me dirty with the google services ban on huawei. What other phones (not xiaomi) are good for $350 max? I only care about good performance on usual normgrel tasks (not gayming nor useless overkill features), decent software (not xiaomi again) and not so many fed eyes on my shit
Convince me not to buy a folding phone

OP12 $650S24U $900Can someone talk me out of getting the S24 Ultra? My last phone was an S3 so on the Samsung I'm worried about bloat and battery life in 3 years. My current phone is an OP5 so with the OP12 I'm worried about the camera and the software support. Is the S24U worth the extra?

>>100059004Both of those, yes. Battery was very noticeably worse. I also found the general UI of lineage worse but that's subjective and I'm sure it can be customized to be better.
>>100059018>>100059074get a portable monitor and connect it with a long usb-c cable to your computer. Or maybe your mobile, that would probably need another power cable however.Get one with a vesa mount and have that shit hover your bed.Otherwise, I think android tablets are still considered babysitting duty.

I'm probably buying a Redmi Turbo 3 from China, just want to know if it's possible to immediately unlock the bootloader and start flashing this EU ROM or global ROM (whichever is the best?). I heard it's more difficult with HyperOS. I do have a Xiaomi account which has been active for more than 30 days, does that mean I can just unlock the bootloader without anything else?
>>100052231>>100052323>>100052358ok>>100052587the phones cost about 170€ and all my mother does is use whatsapp and youtube. are there any better options for 170€?

Does this actually matter? I paid for the whole battery and I wanna fuckin use it, but my old phone's battery went to shit after a year and a half so I'm conflicted
What do you think about the Nothing Phone 2(a)? Apparently the battery life is incredible.
>>100062667cuck
>>100062772Batteries perform best between 50 and 85 F, if the temperature in your place always go beyond that you can't really expect a long life for your battery
>>100062915Rip my battery when I was transferring my old data over Q_QI wasn't aware of that tho so thanks, I'll keep it in mind since I'm pretty sure I can avoid leaving that range for like 70% of the year

>>100056060Do it.
>>100057748Bloat is non-existant on the new Samsungs. It's just One UI which is a skin over Android that makes it more intuitive and has more built in features that native Android would need a separate app to do. Worst case scenario, it can be fully de-bloated. Plus the 7 years of updates, flat screen, Stylus and 100x zoom makes it pretty worth the money.
>>100057842>rounded cornersJust put a case on it.
>>100058984>The Tab S lineup?Yes.

>>100062163Yes.

S23U is one of Samsung's best phones. S24U is worse.Get it while it's still available
If anyone can answer me a question, Id be thankful. I got a new phone recently because the old one broke. I really liked how the old phone you could hold down the power button and take screenshots with the menu that came up. The new phone has lockdown instead of screenshot, which just takes you back to the lock screen. Lockdown is useless and I want it replaced with screenshot instead, is this a possibility or am I stuck with it?
>>100066180you are stuck with itbut why not use the screenshot button at the bottom of recent apps? it's even easier to access
Is there a way to make AndroidSHUTTHE FUCKUPAbout MOTHERFUCKING unused apps?Yes I get it, I haven't used certain apps in months. No, I DON'T want to revoke their permissions, delete their cache or temporary files or what the fuck ever, and I don't want you to remind me every other day.Please, there has to be a way, right?
My samsung s21 ultra says too many unlock attempts try again in 4 hours.Why?I assume it pressed a bunch in my pocket.How do i grt rid of this? I know the passwordWhy doesnt it let me unlock it now or remotelyor with an account?Is using a password bad?

>>100064258Sick tyty
>>100067953kek I'd fund it
>>100062978GSMarena gets shit wrong all the time, I've learned no to trust that site implicitly. Rule of thumb is generally that a phone can decode videos up to the resolution and framerate that it can record videos with its cameras, because phone manufacturers try to keep all components around the same "tier" to keep costs down, but with this particular phone the cameras are an iterative improvement over last year while the chipset is a significant upgrade in GPU performance thanks to switching to AMD from Mali. It begs the question if it can decode 4k/60 videos smoothly, especially considering official documentation saying it can. Could be it's still capped to 4k/30 thanks to binning.
i want an android phone that can last 5+ years, for cheap. i am in Italy, can't wait long shipping.i bet the most advanced feature i'll use is to upload a mediocre photo on instagram twice a week.is something like Xiaomi Redmi 10C going to be any good for that? Ideally i want under 150€ but i don't want to see OS becomes unsupported or battery to die too soon.
>>100069875Only Android phones with long support timeframes are Pixel and Samsung. Idk how good the low end Samsung's are in terms of performance or if they will be updated. A Pixel 8 would take amazing pictures and be updated for 7 years, but this is a bit more expensive than what you are asking about.
>>100069875>Xiaomi Redmi 10CI don't know what you mean by "unsupported", it will be supported by all apps but things such as OS and security updates my best bet would be 3 years at most. The battery will probably outlive your grandchildren, considering it's a Xiaomi. Maybe you can find Pixel 6a within your budget or stretch a bit for 7a. The support and features are a good match for your intended use, the battery is crap though.
>>100051193>>100069418https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwgR_m3LTdgGuy in this video sets the a55 to play 4k/60fps youtube videos and it runs fine. A55 would be good enough to play 99% of videos, since AV1 is still lagging behind when it comes to mass adoption, and because of this videos are rarely shot at higher than 4k/60 because the file sizes are prohibitively big. Exception is snapping at 8k/30 to crop and re-encode later to 4k/30.
Would you an folding fone?
I genuinely cant find a phone to getMy Samsung fe20 died on me after constant charging Problems. Using my work phone iPhone 13 singe months now. IPhone is fine but some Things i hateAny cheap good Android?Only requirement i have is waterproof singe i wash my phone daily

>>100063157While I generally agree on more ram, I haven't been bothered with my normalfag phone with 3gb. My gaming phone that I don't have a sim card in has 8gb, but if anything the rom ended up being not enough. I'm sure my microsd card in it will die one day and I'll lose actual user save data instead of just some assets because the retards at goolag can't separate shit properly.Anyway, none of those are available though the carrier (the two mentioned have sales, not years-long contract obligations) and most don't seem to carry the right bands. They're all pinhole notch edgy curves shit too and the only reason I was ever considering these two was because they're cheap.>>100066509Nope, you are a braindead normal faggot that just downloads shit willy nilly and then complains about not having space for anything and pappa google knows how to fix it for you when it's checking in with you every other minute.>Over 50% free space>"You haven't used these in a week, lets delete them!"I suspect even trying to tap on the message does the thing first without confirming, instead of giving you a way to tell it to knock it off.

Any recommendations for an unlocked phone under 100$? I want the best camera I can get while still inside budget. Waterproofing is not required but appreciated. No iphone. I'm thinking maybe the Motorola one 5g ace is my best option.
want a cheap and new phone? motorola g32 8/256you might complain about updates but it's one of few motorolas that have official lineageos and calyxos supportit is the phone to get if you want the phone to last for years and you aren't a photographer/gameryou have a problem with lcd? g52 6/256 has 90hz oled
Pixel 5a or 6a for cheap used phone to put custom rom on?On the one hand, 5a is last pixel with headphone jack.On the other hand, its support goes away in a few months, graphene and calyx says their support ends in 2027 and lineage is noncommittal.

Finally decided to switch from my XR to a S24U. I don't have a particular hateboner for apple, but I just wanted to switch to android on a whim.Haven't had one in almost a decade, what am I in for?
>>100072855it's alright honestly but when I forget to charge once it always fucks me the next morning and it sucks to travel with. That's basically why I bought the S24+. I was going to wait until next year and see what the Xperia 1 VI or the Pixel 9 are like but the battery pissed me off enough I just bought now.

Just tried my new IEMs on a phone with a headphone jack and god does it sound a lot better and louder than with a dongle. How come a pos budget samsung phone from like 2-3 years back makes these things sound better than my S23? Who's idea at Samsung was it to ape Apple and remove a basic fucking feature that is zero effort to implement? Unforgivable man, I'm selling this thing and buying a Sony or something.
>>100074482Forgot to mention it's twice as jewish as a regular no headphone jack device since it won't work with just any 3.5mm dongle, you need a specific kind that costs more money otherwise it'll tell you something along the lines of "USB device not recognized". And so I was forced to go to the store and buy another one of these useless dongle things that are about as durable as a saltine cracker and fail after about a year of usage. Fuck the current state of the phone industry i am fucking fuming

People who have a phone with fingerprint sensor on the back, do you find it a PITA if you have to set your phone down on a table like this?Do you find yourself using the PIN or lifting the phone to do fingerprint when it's lying flat?

Will the a35 surpass the a54 in camera processing and photo quality? I don't think there's a good reason to buy it over the A54 if so.

Want to replace my Nokia G60 got a budget of 600$ what should I get?>Currently thinking of Nothing (2) as it has 12gig RAMWould want a phone that is capable of running Audiobook and Game or Smedia at the same time. And I hate bloatware.>What would you recommend?
saw an article months back of a list of Ufs 4.0 smartphones. I saw the oneplus 12R on that list and was eyeing the 16gb of ram model for a while.I did some more research yesterday and it turns out it had ufs 3.1 and that was an advertising mistake by oneplus.I dodged a fucking bullet. No point of buying a 12R for 500 plus dollars if it has ufs 3.1. Meanwhile a pixel 6 and moto g100 are sub 200 and ALSO use ufs 3.1So yeah, I'll look around the market for a decently priced ufs 4.0 phone.There is no reason to spend more then $400 on one by the end of the year.
>>100077919Unironically, the moto g100. It has Ufs 3.1 a micro sd card support. You can get it for like $200 on eBay.>bloatwareAdb, simple as. Uad for you because it seems like it will be, of help. Honestly man, this bloatware discussion is so nonsensical. It's not 2014 anymore.Even back then you could debloat using adb it just wasn't as common.>nothing phoneHad to look this shit up. It looks like a scam phone. I even saw a picture of Casey that vlogger guy holding something that resembled it? That guy hasn't been relevant in the internet world since 2016Shit looks fishy. There are so many 12gb of ram smartphones. Don't let a phone named "nothing" take your buck.
>>100066581Congrats, you won the virtual proximity sensor lottery
>>100077811Yes, just like me inside.
>>100077811What makes you say that?
>>100077996>Seeing Casey's ratface on their site also had me reconsider.Moto g100 looks pretty good for what it offers for that price thanks.Any suggestions above 8gig RAM?>And whats UFS 3.1 about?
>>100077996>nothing phone>Had to look this shit up. It looks like a scam phoneLmao
Which jewgle pixel is the best value again? 7a?
>>100078124Yep. OnePlus 12R or S23FE is a good options too
>>100078111Ufs stands for universal flash storage. It is the flash storage used in any non-indian phone nowadays. It is the successor to emmc. Which was to put it lightly, horseshit.Ufs is used in every android smartphone nowadays and IS faster than nvme found in iphones.I dont care what geekbench, the software developed by a apple fanboy has to say. Angways, Ufs is manufactured by everyone's favorite Korean company: Samsung. https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/estorage/ufs/ufs-3-1/The lastest and greatest version of the technology is ufs 4.0 which is twice the speed of ufs 3.1Most low-range phones nowadys use ufs 2.1 or 2.2.>above 8gb ram smartphonesI don't know many from the top of my head but I know Motorola has the g100 that has a 12gb model. Besides that, I would avoid Samsung because the resale value is atrocious desu.Honestly, phonearena and gsmarena will probably be of better help finding an above 8gb ram phone for you.Just follow these rules:>ufs 3.1 or above>Qualcomm is king (my friend has a tensor chip and said its good but idk myself)>5G is here to stay.>IDC about this shit to be honest but PPI and nits is a deal breaker for some.>the bigger the battery, the better>1920x1080 is bare minimum>adb can debloat anything, don't buy a fucking phone based off bloatware, that shit is stupid. >you shouldn't spend over $400 on a non ufs 4.0 smartphone in 2024, it makes absolutely no sense.That is about it. Hopefully more people catch on to ufs. I see morons constantly recommending sub 200 phone in this general that have ufs 2.2 and it further reminds me how uneducated some so called "advice givers" truly are.Well anyways, blog over I guess. You can catch a man a fish and feed him for a day, you know the rest. Have a nice day.
Is it safe to put oleophobic coating on your own?
>>100078283What are some good ufs 4.0 phones?>Was checking out 12R but it has ufs 3.1 and nets at 600$, so thats a no
>>100078283I'm still on ufs2 and don't see what all the fuss is about.
>>100078399Yeah I was also eyeing the 12R until I realized oneplus was false advertising.There was a whole article about it.https://medium.com/@gadgetinsightblogs/the-oneplus-12r-ufs-storage-controversy-ufs-3-1-683e7e31446aJust no reason to spend that much on it.
>>100078664So am I. My daily driver is on ufs 2.1. I'm just equipping people with the right information so they don't buy a ufs 2.2 phone for $250 when they can can get a phone with twice the storage speed for the same price or cheaper. This is a discussion thread where people are trying to not only get the best bang for their buck, but to be better educated to get the right smartphone. It doesn't fucking matter if me or you have a ufs 2 smartphone and it works just fine for us. At the end of the day the ufs 2 technology is vastly inferior to 3.1 in every way and shouldn't even be brought up for anyone in the market looking for a decent phone in the year 2024, especially like I have mentioned a few times already you can get a moto g100 for $200 on eBay.
Pixel 8 for £549 should I get? Currently got old ass Nokia 7 plus
>>100078924Nvm. I guess the supply chain has shortened. I knew that motorola stopped manufacturing them, but damn, there is nothing on eBay.I guess people have bought all them at this point? Idk.The g200 and the edge 2023 are inferior even though they are the g100's successors. Hell the edge 2023 is apparently rocking a fucking Dimensity chip. How the great have fallen.Anyways, there is always the pixel 6. Sure it is inferior to the g100 (no microsd and has a tensor chip) but it will do. You can snag one for a good price on eBay. Oh, and it has ufs 3.1.
>>100079103>>100079049Wrong reply, y'all get it though.
>>100078924Going for S23 256Gb instead, at 600$ it's a steal.
>>100078975128GB has ufs 3.1 but 256GB is ufs 4.0
>>100062856i'd get one if it was smaller. It's a shame they cater to jeets.
>People unironically own google phones and recommend people google phones
>>100079551>Le tensor (Exynos) good!>You don't need decent SOT!
Is it good time to buy s24+ now?
>>100077919It's fine. There's also>Motorola Thinkphone>Moto Edge+ 2023>Moto G100>Xperia 5 III>Galaxy S23+>Galaxy S23 FE
>>100078283>Besides that, I would avoid Samsung because the resale value is atrocious desu.And yet Motorolas don't? Bffr
>>100079103>Hell the edge 2023 is apparently rocking a fucking Dimensity chip. How the great have fallen.The Edge+ 2023 is the true successor and it has SD 8 Gen 2. Nothing wrong with Dimensity though.
>>100056674i forgot you could do this thanks for the reminder
>>100079800I dont know what you mean by resale value but when I mention resale value I'm referring to the fact that Samsung phone are resold at a high ass price. Motorola in my experience has not been, and if that is not the case for you, xiaomi and pixel offer cheap phones.Holy shit you are missing the plot completely.
>>100080028Resale value usually refers to how much you'll get back if you sell your phone used. In that case, yes Motorola phones are cheaper whether it's new or used.
>>100080054Yeah then there was a misunderstanding. I'm talking from the standpoint of the consumer. Not the seller. When I say the resale value is atrocious, I'm saying samshit phones sell for way higher. It is atrocious for the buyer. Since anon when looking for a phone to buy. I understand the terminology though. Because I usually tell people that iphones have hood resale value. Because they are so damn expensive buying them secondhand. But I'm referring to the standpoint of the buyer, not the seller.I could give a rats ass that samshit phones are higher priced than moto. That is the point I was making on why he should avoid them. So yeah, Motorola resale value = good and the other company, bad.

>>100081331>>100081360i had a note 9 which was a great device but the samsung bloat turned me off samsung for good. it was notoriously bad on the note 9. i cracked the stupid curved screen and switched to a pixel 5a which was a fun phone but the apps were buggy and would not work right with microsoft apps i needed for work.switched to an iphone 13pro 2 years ago and it's been solid. i do miss a couple features but none were worth the problems. just pick one and go have sex
>>100082222I’m not ashamed for having an iphone but a rabit shitposter keeps rampaging and since my filenames are recognizable he made a point to screw my image going as far as even copying iphone filenames at one point the damage is done. I know part of the posters don’t care and know it’s him shitting up but others now believe I’m the cuck and by this point I’m just done. 4chan is one of my favorite places to discuss stuff I like due to the anonimity and freedom from usernames and the like but now that’s getting fucked. I know Chance is a browser that everyone praises but I wish I could have an interface like Safari’s that I’m used that clickibg shows posts as a square bubble I can go and the like>>100082274The problem is this has been going on for weeks man. I cared at first, I got desentisized and stopped caring I moved on but now I just wish none of this happened. I like my phone, I like the iCloud connecting everything up. It’s comfy posting from it. I seriousyl wouldn’t have any problems if our mods were more competent and got rid of ban evading shitposters.Writing this down it sounds really ridiculous and really feels like a small issue looking at this way but it’s basically one of my really few issues lately.
>>100082617Damn bro, to be honest I can't really offer solid advice. But when I have one thing killing my mood, I like to focus on the few positives I have. For example, when I was having family problems, as unhealthy and escapism-esc as it sounded, I really enjoyed watching cartoons to get my mind off things. Especially old nostalgic ones from my childhood. So yeah I can't offer much advice but just keep your chin up and look at the bright side anon.
Ok I've sold a few books I'm never going to read again and have 320€ money in my PayPal, that means I'm actually only paying 640€ for the blue S24.

Even though I literally can't go anywhere without an external power supply.I'm coping by saying this is an investment as it'll last me 7 years (it will, current phone at 5 years) but I've got cold feet
