>>100129552oh nonono look at those bezels ahahaha
>>100129557No, they're not.
>>100129572also, being a linux user of 20 years, webdev of 10 years and having written a few small patches for C projects, but never having worked with SoCs, how much effort would it be to get postmarketos running on it?
It's only a matter of time until midrange flips become mainstream. trust the plan
>>100129552>>100129557how the fuck is there still no phone without front camera and a nice clean screen?
Was thinking of getting a fold as a way to replace my old shitty fire tablet with a phone/tablet hybrid. Also, to have my chess apps on the go. Is it good?
I bought the s24 blueWhat pushed me over the edge was me arriving at work yesterday with 50%, freezing from cycling for 40 mins (I love cycling in the cold, I just want to add context because folk here be like, just charge it in your car) and it dying after I basically didn't use it. I got a free Samsung watch with it which I can flip for 50/70€ I think. So with the manga I've sold I only had to pay 607 plus minus 70 if someone buys the watch. That's only 550€ which is pretty goodWhat accessories do I need to buy? >Usbc iem cable >Case>Screen protector What else to minimise the risk of it breaking/getting stolen?
>bought s24+>no app lockwtfhow do I lock apps and unlock with fingerprint on s24+ just like how I did it on my chink phone?

>>100129572>>100129945I have an Xcover Pro. The hardware itself is OK, very low spec but barely passable. Its the most locked down phone ive ever owned, not a chance in hell it will ever get root or custom ROMs. Overall I dont like it and I wish my old oneplus 6t battery and camera werent shitting the bed
>>100130359Yes, Fold 5 is great.
>>100130858>that awful looking camera module>housefire SoC>no headphone jack unlike the regular Poco X6 that also has a Snapdragon 7s gen 2trash
Friendly reminder that if you spend more than $150 on a phone that doesn't have ufs 3.1 or higher, you are robbing yourself.
are folds durable yet or are they still a meme that gets a crack in the middle in a month
still a memei'd wait a few more years
>>100130765>no headphone jack
Moving away from apple and looking for a reasonable size, reasonable price non-iphone in the uk to last the next few years. Good battery and processor+ram are the priority, headphone jack would be nice, but couldn't care less about camera.The Zenphone 10 looks a little overpriced for a year old model. Not a fan of bloat so S23 and most chinese phones seem to be out, although spec wise Oneplus 12R and Poco X6 look great.Would the Nothing 2a be an awful idea? Market seems very oversaturated and it seems hard to know what pitfalls you need to dodge, help would be greatly appreciated.
>Pixel 8 on sale for 649Worth a buy? Mostly just planning on taking photos, browsing, youtube, with GrapheneOSOr wait for the 8a?
I went from an old Galaxy A71 to a Nothing Phone 1 last year and honestly I'm already regretting it software wiseHaving practically stock android is genuinely dogshit and I'm dealing with bullshit bugs all over. Should have gone for an A54 or something.
>>100132612They're pretty good now. Check out that Jerry Rig guy. Ignore the retarded iToddler whose never seen a foldable before.
What is the ownership pattern of Motorola?Is it all CCP bots? Are actual humans a part of the leadership?
retard questioni'm getting an s24u, and after watching a couple of videos on how to repair it, it seems quite manageable for mehowever after looking up the price for parts, i'm honestly considering if it's more cost efficient to get some sort of insurance/protection plan as this will be my first phone that's more than $1000do you guys generally consider it a good idea
>>100132757Fair tradeoff for kino
>>100134119Using a case should be fine. Get insurance only if you're prone to dropping things.
I've been using Samsung s flagships for a while but I'd really like to find a phone that's small enough that I can reach anywhere on the screen one-handed.TL;DR Any recommendations for small phones?
>>100134814Zenfone 10
>>100129552
>>100134832Thanks for the suggestion anon but try again
>>100134877Smallest phone from the last 3 years you're gonna get anon
>>100130590>What else to minimise the risk of it breaking/getting stolen?Activate find my device or find my mobile and save backups.
>>100134238alright convince me because I want to buy the Xperia 1 V but prices are ridiculous
Are you ready to get MOONDROPPED?
>>100134877Zenfone 10 is the smallest non Samsung flagship phone you can get. Take it or leave it.
>>100135015>find my deviceNever used this but I'll look into it>Backups Noooooo not my frog pictureds
>>100135385Place your bets bros, will it be good?

I turned off all advertising notifications and still get ads in the cleaning app on xiaomi. I hate you so much.
>>100136759xiaomi has great hardware at good prices. but miui and all their crappy apps are just intolerable. the tradeoff isnt worth it.

>>100136352OneUI on tsmc snapdragon

Just how bad is the Galaxy S24+ with Exynos chip?
>>100134814Xcover 5Z Flip 5 or Razr+ and only use the outer screen
>>100136962> have you tried disabling it?Of course I did
>>100136974> Just how bad is the Galaxy S24+ with Exynos chip?Get anything else
>>100137057I live in Australia so Exynos is all we get. I might the Ultra, but it's just hard to fork over $2.4k for a phone. I would get a OnePlus but I don't trust Chinese phones.
>>100136759Why do you use the "cleaning" app? You know its just snake oil right?
>>100137090The S23 series is good worldwide and should be fairly cheaper.
>>100137038I cannot cyka blyat but some of those toggles for the ads are opt-out. Also this >>100137244
>headphone jack>sd card>small size>some vanilla rom optionsWhy is it so hard to find a new phone like this, the list shouldn't be that hard to fulfill. I don't even need autistic niches like high framerate screen, cameras and brand new shiny chips. Just give me a fucking reasonable phone.

>>100137822It's a big deal for updooter consoomers.
>>100137931Just give me app sideloading outside of the EU and I'll be an Apple shill for life
>>100137966The day is coming if they want to avoid fines and sanctions. Even RCS for text messages is coming later this year.
>>100137827At least 5 years. The Z Flip 5 is guaranteed for 5 years of flips but it survived over 10 years worth of flips. I can only imagine the Z Fold 5 being just as good. https://youtube.com/shorts/cgE4F1t92qA?si=firlCvjTVsDocMhT
>>100137931The best iPhone is still just a really shitty Android.
>>100137955Their opinions don't matter.
>>100137487a54no adblocking will get to you eventually
>>100137487A54. You're not getting anything out of the iPhone. Plus the 15 line has terrible radiation, battery drain, terrible burn in and they break easily.
what's the best value used android phone I can get for $200? I don't mind scuffs and scratches on the screen (no cracks though) -- just the best bang for your buck.
>>100138053But these subhumans are dictating the current market direction. Praising Samshit for 7 years updoots but will quickly grab the newest model 2 years after.>>100138256You're supposed to drop your country/telco location as well since my SEA fren can get a used A55 256gb for $300 burgers or less. Yes, that's the A55. Sorry for those who fomo'd at launch. Kek.
>>100138312burgerland / tmobile, I'm guessing the S22 is at the sweet spot since samsung flagships depreciate the fastest out of any phone
>>100138256A52s/A52 5G
>>100138312>But these subhumans are dictating the current market direction.Can't blame them completely. People are retroactively trying to justify their iPhone purchases and "muh updates" is an easy thing to comprehend even for the most retarded of iToddler.
>>100138213I'm on a s22u right now (terrific phone) but I have a case on it. Retards with broken phones often simply don't have a case. iPhones or otherwise
>>100138495No but the iPhone 15 is incredibly fragile. It failed the bend test when the Z Flip 5, A FUCKING FOLDABLE, didn't.
>>100138528I'd imagine a foldable phone would be able to fold you colossal retard
>>100138744Difference between being obtuse and acute. Both the Z Flip 5 and iPhone 15 were bent in the wrong direction. Only one survived. It wasn't the one with a fruit on it.
Brahs, what do you need to achieve TAD (Total ad Death) on a modern android phone? Do I need to root it? If so, how to avoid the applications noticing it? Any recommended smartphone brands or lines to achieve this?
>>100139150don't buy a chinkphone for starters
>>100139162What about them? can't be rooted?
Ever since the filthy government blocked chinese phones there's been so little options. Every ip68 wireless charging phone is asking for $400+.
>>100139162I don't give a fuck what the CCP watches me wank to. I have no state or corporate secrets. I'm never going to china so even if thy spy on my spicy takes on commie politics there's nothing they can do to me. I do however really really want to guard my privacy from my own government and other five eyes.
Are the Pixel 8 Pros bad enough that it's not worth it for Android without manufacturer bloatware? I haven't had a Samsung device in 7 years so I don't know what the state of OneUI looks like now
>>100139186Why not just buy it from China?A lot of those Chinese phones kinda suck though. They have crappy dimesnsity chips and ufs 2.2. Just not worth it desu.
>>100139327This. Lol.>>100139357>bloatware>Adb existsDo people unironically factor this as one of the top priorities when buying an android?
>>100139404I am an iFag coming back to Android after almost a decade, I didn't know Universal Debloater was a thing. Fuck the Pixels then
do anon turn always on display on or off?
Still can't believe how they got rid of the holo legacy theme on heliboard. Easily my favorite theme from all the android themes there have been so far
Just upgraded and gave my mom my old phone (Poco X3 Pro). I never had a microSD but she wanted one so I got her a SanDisk Extreme (yes it's legit), but I don't understand why it's so slow. I know the phone is chinkshit but still, shouldn't transferring files from UFS3.1 to a supposedly top of the line card go faster than 30-40MB/s?
>>100134844SEXO>>100134814Titan Pocket. iPhone se3.
>>100140747It's mad that the iPhone SE 3rd gen is now considered a "small phone" given that, when that design debuted with the iPhone 6, it was bigger than every iPhone before it (not bigger than the simultaneously released iPhone 6 Plus though, of course).
>>100138256>>100138387>Ufs 2.1>Meanwhile the pixel 6 is cheaper and has ufs 3.1Holy shit, I swear the majority of people in this sub don't know shit about smartphones.
>>100137566>mfw all the leaks are a ruse and Sony ends up announcing the Xperia Play (2024)
>>100129552Looks so fucking gay. I hate rounded corners so goddamn much. Why can't these fags make boxy phones with boxy corners?Even though the S23U is too big, I bought it instead of the regular S23 exactly because of these reasons
>>100130765S23U*
>>100141173Sony ain't that based.
>>100132878Got the Nothing Phone 2a about a month ago, it's brety gud. Note that I didn't get rid of my old iPhone (13 Pro Max) before this so I'm still not relying on the Nothing as a pure daily driver, but it is quite zippy and has not managed to fail at anything I wanted to do with it (I'm a remote worker). I don't know what I'm missing not going for the Phone 2 which is supposed to be a better model, but the 2a looks like it will last quite a long time. The battery life in particular is much better than my iPhone. There was a bug with the software when I first bought it that prevented it from quick charging no matter what I did - it's been fixed now. Just something to keep in mind if you buy, you might get an old stock or whatever.
>>100139357One UI is just a skin over Android. It makes it more intuitive and adds more features that would normally need an app. Like the other anon said, it can be removed.

>>100142493>oh no, it's another niche shit I could just avoid but let me raise a stink about it
>>100142493>Fell for the baitI mean. this company is known for producing notoriously bad products in the IEM world. Good concept, bad QA/delivery. Can't wait to see their downfall.
>>100136759Just use universal android debloater, uninstall all the recommended shit. Or install the xiaomi.eu rom for your phone.

>>100142776Steve Jobs was worth billions of dollars and had a family with 4 kids I think. So I don't think he was either "retarded" or a "faggot". And apparently he was 6'2", so not really "little" either.
>>100142895>Compact>Has headphone jack>Has micro sd card slotNah, keep this one.
>>100142916But how much could he lift?
>>100142916>Person is rich, which means they're amazing and perfectMoney doesn't validate anything. You can make money off idiots all day, that's what he did.Steve Jobs is also dead. His millions of green paper aren't really worth shit to him now. Pic related, it's his daughter making fun of the new iPhone.
Where did the aluminum body phones go? Every phone on the market either has a plastic back, some sticky eco-leather, or it's a glass sandwich now
>>100144256>B-BUT HIS DAUGHTER POSTED A THINGJesus Christ take a look at yourself.
Can someone explain why Google started using shitty Exynos chips for their phones, and why they don't just drop on them and starting using SD chips? Pixel phones paired with top SD chips such as the 8SG3 or the 8G2 would probably make it one of the best phones on the market.

>>100145448Had my pixel 3a till last week had Lineage OS on it It was perfect literally perfect but after the screen shattered i just got myself an iPhone cause every other phone was copy of iPhone and i aint buying samshitBut this iPhone isn’t pixel it is boring and bland and doesn’t have headphone jack
I can't access the top pulldown bar on my phone anymore except from the lock screen. anyone know why?
>>100145531>go be a sheepWell, I'm not one of those idiots who lined up to get his shiny Applel products. Fucking cattles have no idea the man they look up to wouldn't even let his kin near his products or social media. It takes courage and bravery to pull the wool over the sheeple's eyes. The drug dealer truly doesn't consoom.

Now that I've bought my phone and am just waiting for it to arrive, I literally don't care about phones at all and probably won't for the next 7 years
>>100137090> but I don't trust Chinese phones.Get the pills then.> I live in Australia so Exynos is all we getWhy westerners constantly telling that? In Russia I can buy any phone I want, even If it didn't sell it Russia. I have Samsung galaxy s24 ultra, which is not for sale in Russia. That's why they included box in Russian and preinstalled pack of government required apps.
>>100149898Real countries control what goes in and out of their borders
>>100149898>which is not for sale in Russia? Why is it listed on price.ru then?
>>100137566unless you're being excluded from group chat just get the a54. its not a great (or even good imo) phone but the iphone 15 isnt that much better for twice more.
>>100137090>I don't trust Chinese phonesSame>>100149898>Get the pillsNope, there are valid reasons to not trust China. China hates the West and tries to undermine us all the time. Russia does too.
>>100150016>China hates the West and tries to undermine us all the time. Russia does tooMedication now
>>100145558I still have my 3a. I've replaced the screen on it twice and it's still trucking. But, it is getting slow, and I would like to run GrapheneOS but they don't support the 3a any more...I really don't want to downgrade to an 8 / 8 Pro / 8a but it's probably time to put old yeller to bed... It can't be that bad using a USB DAC, right?
>>100149957> ? Why is it listed on price.ru then?I don't know what price.ru is. After checking, it seems like a small shop. Largest Russian online stores are market.yandex, Ozon, Sberbank, wildberries. In Russia you can basically sell any phone. Even Google pixel.Carriers legally can't lock up phones, so there is no carrier locked phones here. No white list either. No carrier deals. No "upgrade plans". Most people just buying their phones upfront, like I did. Official sales is sales authorized by manufacturer. Usually this sales has MSRP and all the stuff you have used to.Since Samsung is not working in Russia (but having largest ads budget among Russian market) Samsung didn't authorized deal. But phone is fully functional. What problems Russians usually have because all of that. 1. Mainland Chinese phones (K series redmi for example) tend to not have b20 lite, which leads to some networking problems. I don't know, because I never had Mainland China phone.2. Volte and vowifi tend not to work properly., mostly with pixels, sony phones. This is not a big deal, because Russians didn't use it much. Most of Chinese manufacturers and Samsung provides protocols for volte.
Does anyone know a company that makes phone cases like these old bulky Griffin Survivor cases but for modern phones? I want one so bad.

>>100150750>Also no calculator app or galleryKek. Though some anons here would consider that a positive. I can see the appeal being a samchad
>>100150750>Also no calculator app or galleryThere are superior alternatives out there. And it's Android anyway. I even changed the built-in file manager because the default was restricted from messing with system folders after Android 13.
>>100150619> how long do you guys usually wait to replace your phones?2-3 years.My first android phone was Sony Z1 in spring of 2014. I replaced it with Nokia 6 spring 2017.In fall of 2018 I got OnePlus 6T.Then summer 2021 I got OnePlus 9 pro.In the beginning of spring 2024 I git Samsung s24 ultra
>>100150619I'm still using the Galaxy S7 I bought in 2018.
The Pixel 8 Pro can run the Gemini Nano LLM locally. Gemini Nano does not require an internet connection to operate -- it was designed to function even in connection dead zones. GrapheneOS can restrict permissions on even first party Google applications, and could be used to permanently lock Gemini Nano off the internet. There are several posts online about people getting Gemini Nano working on GrapheneOS and even having it replace the default Assistant app. So in short, if I'm reading this right, you could buy a Pixel 8 Pro, install GrapheneOS and Gemini Nano, mess with permissions in a smart manner, and have access to a fully offline can't go rat you out to Google LLM which you can leverage to do whatever an (admittedly weak only 3.5b parameter) LLM can do? Seems like that might actually be worth the purchase.

is it worth getting an s24 or should I stick with something cheaper like an a54 or a35 and are there any actual noticeable differences
>>100151927https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/1ba4kjt/how_much_privacy_do_you_all_think_we_really_loose/https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/1bq6wcg/guide_how_to_use_gemini_securely_on_grapheneos/Neither directly mentions using Nano, just Gemini in general, so the use case of a fully offline LLM hasn't been tested from what I can see. I suspect the posters didn't have the Pixel 8 Pro and couldn't run Nano. But in theory it should work -- GrapheneOS can install Gemini, and it can block Network permissions, and Gemini Nano does work without network, so it should all come together.Actually feel my trigger finger itching on this purchase... Feels like using the weapon of the enemy against themselves.
>>100137955at that point the battery has had enough charge cycles on it to start pissing off the owner when their phone doesn't last 12 hours without needing to be plugged inclaiming 6-8 years of software updates is pointless when the batteries need to be replaced after 2 or 3, and there is no "Google store" or "Android store" to take your phone to to do that>inb4 uBreakiFixwhat a fucking joke of a company
>>100151990looks like that relies on trusting google not to collect data; per the second thread you linked; in the comments.what a joke. sure u can disable connections to the module remotely; but why even bring up the question
>>100152192The second thread is referring to Google's retention policy for Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra, which are hosted on Google's servers and not locally run. And yes, of course if you're using that you're willingly sticking your hand into a honeypot. But Nano runs fully locally, and if Nano can't ever phone home... then Google gets nothing.
>>100141105good point, but then you have to deal with the gen 1 tensor SoC, which was a piece of shit
>>100151989S24>better camera>7 years of updates>Samsung DeX If those things don't matter to you get the A54.

>>100151502which file manager do you use?
i got an s24 ultra and holy fuck this thing is nuts
i dont like the pixel camera the post processing ruins the pics
>>100151693based
>>100153355I'm tempted to pay off my phone 8 months early to go to the Ultra. What did you upgrade from, and is it worth it?
>>100153448i had a galaxy s9 and it's been like going from a kiddie bike to a mercedes overnight
>>100152603> ANY ausfags have good 400 dollarydoo phone recs? Selection here is so shitHere you can get Tecno phantom x2 or realme 12 pro. But thanks to him >>100149926 you can't. Hope you're like living in non fake country. Anyway, what models do you have avaliable?
>>100153448In 8 months the S25 will release, save it till then
>>100153474Using an s9 atm, what are the improvements/downgrades you've found so far?
I'm a light gamer (mobile gacha games and low end emulation). Would an Xperia 10 V suit me fine? I really like that it's got a headphone jack and microsd slot, though if there are any suggestions for slightly better phones in that price range, I'm willing to forgo the 3.5mm jack since I have a USB C dongle anyway. The microSD slot is non-negotiable though.
I bought a cheap android off eBay and while it was charged to 80% the screen flickered and the phone died. After plugging it in it said it had 0% charge. Seems the battery suddenly discharged but I'm curious if it would be a bad battery or a bad mainboard that causes this issue. Anyone else have a similar experience? I was screwing around in the settings and tried seeing what that "optimize your phone" option would say when this happened.
>>100129552Does anyone know how to turn off all the garbage AI scaling shit in the Galaxy A54 camera?
What web browsers are good? I've been using Opera for the longest time and I'm just tired it for bugging me on the homepage and having a lackluster private browsing mode. I'm used to Firefox on desktop but is the app worth using?
Does anyone else feel put off buying phones that are light and thin? I'm not saying a brick is better, but I like a phone to have some heft to it. It makes it feel more premium and sturdy.
whats the best poor faggot phone that isnt chinese and going to steal my identity?do i have to buy a google phone
I've had an iPhone Xs for years but recently I got a hand me down Iphone 11 from a friend. I like that it's slightly bigger and better in every way however am I imagining things or is the loudspeaker better on the Xs than on the 11? I swear music and youtube is louder on my Xs, but I can't find any information online about this. Am I crazy?
Why apple like that https://youtube.com/shorts/jnz_qFQ4QAM
>>100155181No need to gimp yourself with specs that low, if you're doing any gaming get something with a snapdragon 8 or 7 at least>>100155382Try keeping it plugged in for the rest of the day and see if it charges to 100% eventually>>100155522Disable the scene optimizer, also try shooting in pro mode>>100156259What's wrong with opera's private browsing? >>100156394The iphone 15 pros and S24 ultra have titanium frames, supposedly this fixes the fragile feeling of thin phones>>100156567Moto G Play 2024, technically it's a lenovo subsidiary but they don't put any pre installed Chinese apps, it's all American bloat ware >>100156709Sometimes the acoustics just varies per phone

>>100150337Otterborbox>>100150869Its kinda sad he won't upgrade that phone came out like 5-6 years agoIt had too little ram then and has too little ram now.
>>100151989Get whatever one has atleast ufs 3.1
i just came in here to say that my redmi note 4 is acting up. i think it's one of the ribbon cables to the motherboard that's loose or damaged since it glitches an inch of the screen from the bottom.i came in here maybe...jesus, 7 years ago asking for phone recs and a lot of you said xiaomi RN4 and it's served me to this day. thing's a beast and one of the best phone purchases in my life.
>>100129552Why does my camera quality looks so foggy? I have a Samsung a32 and the main camera pictures have a sepia tint. I have cleaned the lens and nothing really changes.Pic rel.
So are iphones now a legit contender for yurofags?
>>100156567>poorfag phoneRealme c67
>>100150619I am still using my S10e. I tried to replace it with a modern pixel. Had it less than three months before just selling it for 50% of what I paid for it and using my S10e again. I will keep using it until it stops working.
Are there camera less smartphoneor can cameras be removed from phones i hate cameras
>>100157545>otterboxThat's probably the closest thing I know of, but it isn't the same. I wish there was a way to get one of those custom made for a newer phone.
>>100150337Old phone cases were so soulful
>>100158257Fairphone 4 and remove the cameraZenfone 8 Flip and never use camera.

>>100156259Cromite browser
>>100129552there's no way to record a phone call on android without rooting the device?
>>100159111
>>100159164there are tons of results. I'm not going to install them one by one, seeing which works and which is a virus. every google search result mentions the need to root the device, because google "values privacy" and doesn't allow phone recordings.
>>100139150Just use the adguard dns for most apps. It works for me in chrome and on others, but the "banner" the ad would be on is still there. Still no problem for me.As for other stuff, I just use modded versions for youtube, spotify and I use ublock on firefox for general browsing. Thats about it.
>>100147530Really? I thought that it was a good phone long term?
I need to choose within these 2 phones>Moto G84 8GB ram>Galaxy A24 6GB ramWhich should I go for and why?

You guys with an S23Ultra run 120Hz and 1440p? It seems to rinse my battery. All in all, this phone ain't great battery life or camera in my experience.
>>100137680They are more expensive than a iPhone.
>>100160636I forgot to mention I have budget of around $450
I'm done with the semen slurping Samsung gooks. Next phone is iPhone.
>>100160909Keyed
>>100160636Note 20 ultra by the virtue of it still supports SD card slot & siazable custom ROM support
>>100161479Are there any custom roms worth installing on it?
I'm done with the semen slurping Californian Pajeets. Next phone is S24 Ultra.
>>100160789I get 4-5 hours of SOT from 70 to 20, which is good enough for my purposes. And yes, I'm running it on 2K120But why do you say the camera isn't good? It beats my friend's iphone 15 pro max by a mile.Maybe it loses to those Xiaomi/Huawei cameras with sim slots, but at that point, just get a dslr
Every modern phone is absolute shit anyway. Where is the technological advancement when you're limited by shitty software (apps) written by Indian toddlers?I don't want to use Chrome and apart from Opera no browser has text wrapping. What the fuck is wrong with this shit?
Which typeface do you use on your phone? I got tired of roboto so I tried helvetica and it's been nice
Help me decide between these two phones. I can get them second hand at about the same price while I wait for asus to sort out their bullshit. The CE 5G has AMOLED display, android 11, yeah. but in display figerprint sensor.The CE 3 lite has IPS LCD, side mounted fingerprint sensor, and android 13 (boouh)I've never used anything post android 11 so I dont know if I will enjoy the new freedom restrictions. I want to watch video on the phone and make calls thats it.

>>100160226G84More RAM, headphone jack and sd card slot.
>>100160636S23+>>100160789Download a tracker blocker/ad-blocker like Blokk.
>>100162270>headphone jack and sd card slot.The Galaxy A24 DOES have thoseThe only heavy downside is the Mediatek chipset
>>100162387Oh yeah. Better chipset too.
>>100161941I have a camera as well which may be what is making me say it's not that good. I just enjoyed the photos from my 12 pro max more. It just seems quite in consistent, especially between lenses.
I want to buy a Huawei phone with a flat screen. This is pretty much my only option. It has the SD 778 and no 5G. Just wondering if those are big enough drawbacks?
is it worth getting a pixel just for lineage or graphene?
bought unlocked S22 Plus from Amazon a year ago. It was ATT one (SM-S906U). I haven't received any updates at all. what the fuck. last security update is of April 2023.
>>100162639Yes. >>100162670Try restarting it.
My fold 4 doesn't open all the way anymore. The warranty is completely done now. I've seen a lot of potential solutions on the Internet. Just about the only ones I haven't tried are the ones involving liquids. Is there a big risk to submerging it in water to try to get debris out of the hinge? Supposedly it has some water resistance.Apparently it works, but do any of you guys have long term experiences with it? How did the phone do in the long term?
>>100162926Should work but you should probably try computer duster first.
>>100133105I just bought a Pixel 8 for $350 shipped
>>100139739Off, muh battery life.
Is there anything similar to the samsung gaming hub on stock android? A way to just put the games in a single place without clutter and also mute them globally?I'm starting to miss shit I had on my older samsung phone. For all the fucking bloat it had neat shit I just can't do on stock android it seems.
>>100162639I'm on my second Pixel exclusively purchased for Graphene. Worth. The upsides outweight the downsides. I miss my headphone jack but Bluetooth audio is kind of based desu; you're a sperg if youre looking for audiophile level audio out of a mobile device.
>>100162089I use a nothing phone so I'm stuck on whatever the fuck is this retro shit that I got tired of after a week
>>100162179Meh, kind of boring.
>>100145236Wireless charging is based, USB C port is physically inferior to lightning due to fragility alonet. Has USB C on everything
>>100163151>gayming on your phoneDo people actually do this
>>100163313Do people, anon?It's much more likely to see any normal person play a phone game than an actual console, handheld or PC game. It's more socially acceptable. You'll see menopausic women play random games on their phones.
>>100163285>USB C port is physically inferior to lightning due to fragility aloneKek, no.
Newfag looking for a new phone, what models have a good camera that can take clean pictures, including night pictures?

So I need help. I had to change my hotmail’s password and now my iphone keeps pestering me about the Exchange Account’s password. Typing it right does fuckall and it keeps interrupting me with messages. Does anyone know the answer? Turning mail off and on doesn’t work
>>100151739>GrapheneOS can restrict permissions on even first party Google applications, and could be used to permanently lock Gemini Nano off the internet.Only if all Google apps Network Permissions are revoked. IPC communication scope soon™
>>100164150iPhone, Pixel, Samsung.
>>100160789>You guys with an S23Ultra run 120Hz and 1440p?Yeah, 1440p/120hz since launch. Haven't had battery issues, can last a full day with GPS/5G/Bluetooth etc. I've started limiting the battery to 85 since I saw I could last the day with it too. Stick to web browsers with ublock and github/fdroid alternatives to apps as much as you can, use firewalls/DNS blockers etc.
>>100165338They changed it to 80 from 85. I don't like it
>>100165429Same. 85% was the prefect balance imo.
I find that telegram is really hard on battery. Which sucks.Why can't they focus on optimization instead of adding features nobody cares about
>>100164998Sounds like you need new iphone 15 pro sar iPhone too old
>>100165429Is there no way to change that back to 85? Why they do it?
