qrd on OneUI 7?
Opinions on the oneplus 12?
>>103291143Beta in December, release in January. Similar to OneUI6 in terms of features.
if i have to buy a samsung should i get s24 fe or are there better similarly-priced options
>>103291133Exynos 2200
Is there anything thats an upgrade on the s22 ultra that's not over $1k
>>103291147Best value flagship on the market right now
Poco F6 or Nord 4?I wanna play gacha shit/genshin and take photos. No more than $400. Or get an old S23 or another phone?
>>103291297Not really. S23U, S24U, and maybe S24+ if you're in the US, but you lose on camera still.
>>103291244Why are you forced to buy a Shitsung?
>>103291244S23. You can probably even get the base S24, but if you live in Europe, S23 is better.
>>103291297Pixel 8 Pro
>>103291359He said upgrade.
>>103291328Nord 4.
>>103291364Is that more of a sidegrade
>>103291375But Snapdragon™ 7 Plus Gen 3 is not more shit than 8s Gen 3?
>>103291434It's the S24 shill. He's trolling
>>103291434Pretty much, and a straight downgrade if your S22U is a Snapdragon model.
why no signal bars in android 14 ? wtf is that triangle thing?
>>103291273Damm I might buy S22 next year
>>103291697What phone manufacturer? Some customize the notification shade, often in dumb ways. The default one doesn't have bars but is pretty easy to read.
What's the cheapest phone with a good telephoto camera?
>>103291790s23
>>103291790S21U, S22U, S23U. Maybe don't get S21U now, so either S22U or S23U.
>>103291726Keep in mindm that's the Ultra. It's got pretty good cooling, as opposed to the base S22 models.
>>103291893>wants cheap phone>recommends the Ultra fuckhueg pricy modelsPretty sure the regular models have telephoto but it might not be as good.
>>103291749redmi a3
>phone depletes 30000mAh pwb in only half a dayi think there might be something wrong with its battery, guys...
>>103291927It's nowhere near as good, and he didn't define cheap. I would say, for what it is, the S22U is cheap nowadays, and it's telephoto camera is still among the best out there.
rec me usb-c earbuds. I still want my connection to be wired and the wireless ones are crazy expensive compared to wired. I just want them to listen to audiobooks and nothing else.
>>103291930The only screenshot I could find showed segmented bars for the cell connection, but Xiaomi has been slowly moving away from heavily customizing the notification shade (they used to have a GREAT battery icon that I colluded with a Russian Xposed module dev to recreate on my Nexus back in the day) so maybe they are just using the regular icons found on AOSP which would be less work to maintain each new version.
>>103291965Just get a USB-C DAC, and a good pair of headphones. You might want to ask >>>/g/iemg/ for recommendations. I use a TempoTec Sonata HD2 with Moondrop Aria.
>>103291962S22 series has a housefire chip I wouldn't wish on anyone. Qualcomm really fucked up that year. >>103291965>>103292015/iemg/ shilled me these Tanchjim Ones which I like well enough but find myself using them less now that I have Sony over ear XM4s. A dongle to use your headphone jack headphones isn't the end of the world either if you keep the dongle attached to the cord.
good notchless phones though??????????????????
>>103292094RedMagic 10 Pro, RedMagic 9 Pro, RedMagic 8 Pro. Whichever fits within your budget.
>>103292076>Tanchjim OneThey are really good, especially for the money.
>>103292144Yeah the only downside is that even with the large eartips I have to sometimes readjust and put them back in securely. My fault for having large ears I guess? You know what they say about guys with large ear holes....
what are some good alternatives to the moto e13? i have it and its rlly bad :( it always crashes and lags. ive been looking into the moto g35 and g24, are there some notable differences between those? my budget is 150 usd but if i can get a good one for less than that i'll be glad (i wont spend more because i dont really use my phone to play or stuff like that)
>>103292203Redmi Note 12
I miss LG
>pixel 8 pro 510€>s23 470€>s23+ 536€>poco f6 343€Which one is the better deal?
>>103292343S23 > S23+ > F6Won't even think about Pixel. Although, if you can find an F6 Pro, then it's more like S23 = F6 Pro > S23+. Depending on whether you want a bigger or smaller screen.
>>103292403>66€ difference>S23 > S23+what?
>>103292423nevermind i'm fucking retarded they're both sd8 gen2
>>103292423At that point you might as well just save up a bit more and get the Ultra.
oneplus 12 or edge 50 pro sirs? looking for a cheap flagship
>>103292343Pixel, simply because you can install GrapheneOS
>>103291133>>103275040>>103291315Almost every OEM does it, not just Apple.>>103290870Not true at all for rhythm games. It still has too much latency in rhythm games compared to wired.>>103291673It'd still be an upgrade over a fucking 8G1 phone.>>103292343P8P if you only care about camerasPoco F6 if you only care about gamingS23 if you care about both or want a small phoneS23+ otherwise
>>103292461Wait for Poco F7 Ultra
>>103292453yeah if the price difference isn't too large i'd just go for s23 ultra if you want more screen real estateotherwise i don't really see how s23+ would be a better deal than s23
Exymeme never again
>>103291328Poco F6, you can get one for cheapo with black Friday coupons
Do I keep my 15PM and use it Or do I sell it and get a G54 and pocket the 800 EUR change
>>103292403>>103292453>>103292505The best deal I found for the S23U is 701€ refurbed, it's a bit more than what I'm willing to pay for a phone. I did find a Poco F6 Pro for 391€ though>>103292464I've considered it but I'm worried about my banking apps not working>>103292468I'd like to strike a balance
Someone redpill me on the S24 Fan Edition
>>103292752its shit and made to scam you
So after comparing a bunch of phones i think i narroved my pick to POCO F6 12GB/512GB it's more expensive than my original pick of redmi note 13 pro 5g, but it has better processor and more ram, also higher nit screeni looked at the POCO F6 12GB/512GB pro but that is another $100 bucks, it has POLED screen and 4000 nits which makes it hdr10 certified, but i just find it hard to justify as i don't play phone games and who the fuck watches movies in a phone and for just watching youtube videos on the toilet and in the bed i don't think i can justify that extra moneywhat do you think?
>>103292734>banking apps on a phoneOof. Well, most of them work just fine anyway. I'd say getting 10x more security and privacy on your phone is well worth it. You can just use the banking app in a VM on your PC/Laptop, or in Waydroid if it works there.
>>103292752Mid. Get an S23 instead or S24, especially if you're in the US.
Pixel 9 or S24 FE? Why?
>>103291133I'm quite pissed at how quickly are phones released in China vs global. Why the fuck do i have to wait half a year to get a fucking SD8E device, when they're already available? Might import this.
If you're not really in a hurry to get a phone, just wait for S25This advice is for literally anyone lurking
what is this hyperOS shit? is it any good? i would like to avoid having to flash a custom rom since that often breaks google pay, but let me guess, hyperos is just another chinkshit full of bloatware isn't it?
>>103293005It's literally MiUI, but with a mandatory locked bootloader.
>>103293035>but with a mandatory locked bootloader.what does this mean?that i cannot unlock bootloader and install custom rom?
these chink phones really do have good salesbut i just can't trust chinks with my bank accounts and other private stuff
>>103293042Correct.
>>103293138are you sure? i heard that only applies in chinai find it hard to believe they would suddenly block everyone from unlocking bootloaders as it would hinder their sales
>>103293164Maybe they changed their minds. I have heard about this before HyperOS went global.
>>103293282i am not sure it's just what i read on googlei just want to make sure that i will be able to use tasker and do shit like map the volume up and down buttons to skipping songs whent he screen is off and that double tapping the power button toggles the flashlight as those are things i use literally all the time on my phone
Google Pixel 8 at $330 or Google Pixel 7a at $180? Which one should I get, anons?
>>103292867alright i think i am gonna pull the trigger on the POCO F6 12GB/512GB
>>103292868Too inconvenient for what I usually do, sadly. I'll look around to see if they work, it would be for the best
>>103293485Do you want to pay the extra $150 for:- 7 years of updates (until 2030.10. compared to 2027.10.)- ~8% better CPU performance- ~20% better GPU performance- Up to 50% brighter screen- 120Hz screen (vs 90Hz)- Slightly smaller and lighter phone- Slightly better camera in darkI'd say Pixel 8 is only worth it if you'll keep using it for the next 5-7 years. Otherwise go with Pixel 7. It's not that big of an upgrade.If you're not the type of person to keep their phone for at least 5 years I see no point in wasting money on a Pixel 8 vs Pixel 7.
>>1032934858 has a much longer support period. Useful if you plan on keeping it for a long time. Until 2030 for both OS and security updates. 7a has a decent but much shorter support period, losing OS updates after 2026 and security patches after 2028. You'll probably have to replace the battery eventually if you keep it that long. Worth noting that GrapheneOS only supports models currently supported by Google, if you're thinking of going that route.
>>103293485>>103293782Looks like I can't read, you're asking about 7a, not 7. It's basically the same phone as 7 anyways, just smaller, less water resistant and with a (subjectively) better camera. The rest of the points still stand.
>>103293782>>103293827>>103293847Thanks for the help. I've used my current phone for 5 years now, and I will probably use the Pixel 8 for another 5 if I do decide to buy it.
>>103293782>- 7 years of updates (until 2030.10. compared to 2027.10.)If Google survives.
>>103293978lol (laughing out loud)
>>103293978It is a bit of a crapshoot with the incoming administration if the antitrust stuff will continue or just be dropped. Hopefully even if Google is broken up the company that receives the Pixel and hardware division can continue support. I'm not sure if they make enough money for that segment of the company to support itself. Odd that Apple isn't being taken to task over the same sort of stuff, iirc the Play Store (and search monopoly) was their big complaint and a lot of the measures were to make it easier for alternative app stores to be viable. The App Store is pretty much the same monopoly on iPhones and iPads, with excessive fees (~30%) and no alternatives to it (outside the EU).
>>103293978They will. The push to break the Google monopoly is only there to separate Google Search/Ads, Chrome and Android. Google's hardware division isn't affected from what I've read.Security updates are often entirely hardware related. As in, most phones don't get security updates simply because Mediatek or Qualcomm refuse to update their SoC firmware. That's the whole reason Fairphones at some point started using SoCs created for IoT devices, as those are supported much longer. Apple doesn't have this issue simply because they create their own SoCs. And new Pixels use Google's own SoC, so as long as the firmware gets updated there's no issue.
what has been keeping Samsung to cling onto Exyshit brand so stubbornly all this time?it was clear it's shit and utterly inferior to competitors even way back in early 2010s and never did sell.But still they kept operating chip design team at a unprofitably heavy loss for more than a decade by now.
>>103294230You will eat the dogfood and you will like it. Real reason: cheap SoCs for their shitty budget and midrange phones that /g/tards unironically buy. Also to fuck over Europe and save costs on flagships there to make more profit.
>>103294163It's primarily because of the entire ad network, and the search engine.Google's ad network is sitting at around 95% market share / total money earned across all ad networks.Their search engine is used by 85%-90% of users.Their web browser is used by at least 65% of users (not counting other Chrome-based browsers).Their web services (Youtube, Docs, email, etc.) have been caught degrading the performance of other browsers multiple times (main reason why Microsoft stopped developing their own web engine and switched to Chromium).They've paid their way into being a default search engine in Firefox and Safari. So their only competitor web browsers and mobile OS are defaulting to Google Search. Which just feeds people's search data into their Ad network.Apple, despite being a walled garden, isn't encroaching into other devices. As an Android, Windows or Linux user, you won't ever encounter Apple's non-existent search engine, their web browser, or their ad network. Meanwhile, no matter which system you use, your most common web browser will default to Google search, and thus feed your info into Google Ads. That's the difference between a walled garden with vertical integration, and a monopoly.Besides, Apple is getting (justifiably) fucked by several different countries, and have already been forced into adopting USB-C and opening up their OS for multiple App Stores and browser engines.
My phone has the 3.5mm jack and I use it to connect my cheap wired earphones to listen to music at work or take calls. Theoretically if I get a new phone should I look for one with a 3.5mm jack if I want to continue to do this, or is there a way people conveniently connect wired earphones to phones without a 3.5mm jack nowadays? Getting wireless earphones is not an option since I don't want to be bothered with charging and don't want to spend more than $8 on earphones.
i need cheapest phone possible with max security support and esim. no need for 5galso does anyone know how to verify chance with new email bullshit im typing this from safari?

>>103295441Good decision, anon. Fold 5 is a great device, and SD8g2 is probably one of the best SoCs ever made.
>>103292666Yes. >>103292752It's fine, but if you can get a S23 or S24, might as well. >>103292916S24 FE

>>103295364>phone twice the size has better thermalsOh golly gee you got me. Unless you are playing Genshin Impact on max settings for hours most phone tasks are done in seconds, whether it is loading a page or an app. Thus these stress tests which peg the processor at 100% for a long time aren't really indicative of real world applications. >>103295396You don't understand battery technology. After a certain amount of degradation you have two options: throttle the CPU so it doesn't demand more power than the battery can provide, or do nothing and the user then complains about "random" shutdowns that occur when the battery cannot provide enough juice. Apple got in trouble for not communicating to the consumer, other OEMs do the same thing or you get random shutdowns.
>>103295591should i sell my iphone and get a g54?
>>103295703>other OEMs do the same thing or you get random shutdowns.No they don't.
>>103295729Yes.

>>103296347Correct.
I haven't had an iPhone since the 4, would I see any growing pains going back to an iPhone 13 mini from a Samsung S9+? I want the form factor of it that badly. how long, theoretically, can I run a 13 mini into the ground? if it's already a 2 year old phone, will it bork in 5? my s9+ has lasted almost 8 years.i don't need user freedom to do things like emulate or download custom stuff, but if there's new shit to avoid since the 4S then I would have no way of knowing being as out of the loop with apple as I am.
>>103296344link?
why doesnt oneplus just put a good camera in their phone
Fuck this timeline fuck this market fuck this shit fuck android fuck everythingWhy isnt there GrapheneOS or equivalent for modern sony xperia phonesDo I really have to buy one of those soulless google pixel phones with a punchole camera, no headphone jack nor SD card slot for basic privacy why why why why fuck niggers

My phone is 8 years old should I get a new one?I mean... it kinda works so I feel a bit bad about ditching it but I'm worried since it hasn't gotten a security update in years and kinda lags sometimes when I use Discord (might just be the trannies code being bad though)
>>103296909I had the same phone for 7 years (Android 8.1) and I felt the need to upgrade because of banking apps, and nothing else.
Why does my iPhone 16 PM look like this?
>>103296922>>103296946Gee whiz. It sure would be nice if the literal bomb built into every phone was easily removable and replaceable.
>>103296763lineage became jeet since 2017
>>103296946It's pregnant
>>103296972Fuck it. I'll just toss phone makers a framework for the next standard. Normal camera, telephoto camera, removable battery. 3.5mm preferable. Sunken/flat camera array preferable but not mandatory. Everything after that, I don't fucking care. Cut all the wireless and reverse charging shit if you want. It's fucking retarded. Maybe get a better charging standard than USB-C eventually.
>>103296909s25 plus is going to last 10 years if they get snapdragon over memexynoss24 base/plus is a terrible skippable line, and you're likely not part of the 1% who needs the s24 ultra's specsjust wait a little longer
>>103297521Oh right. Just have a merged SD/SIM slot. Stop fucking around and removing useful features in favor of garbage that's only appreciated by those who should be trepanned with a drill.
Best replacement for s23+?
keeping my S23U another year, hopefully the S26 series uses the chink battery tech.

>can currently get an S24 Ultra for $800Stop tempting me, Satan.
>>103297713For what? The price is gonna plummet when the S25 launches in about 3 months
>>103291726Don't get carried away. The S22 family has a dumpster fire of a chip.
>>103298171>in about 3 months2 actually, late January 2025.
>>103298171Bought a Pixel 9 for $400, but I feel the phone doesn't have what I'm looking for as I'd really like a better camera package. Been thinking of returning it and maybe getting an S24 FE or something just to have a basic zoom lens. But the price is creeping where that $800 S24U is enticing.
>>103296277>stress testOk benchmark troon, explain how your SoC is at 100% for an hour? The benchmarks that don't run for three hours say they have similar performance. Oh, with an edge to the older Apple chip? Oh my.
>>103298299I really can't overstate it enough. I do not understand the point of an Ultrawide lens taking up space in the default camera package on lower end smartphones.
Can I use chrome to browse 4chan on an iphone? apparently there's no app for it.
