>>100197117Kvad Photo Editor for making memes or touching up photos. Google Snapseed as well, no one app is a proper Photoshop equivalent. I don't understand why Adobe doesn't take advantage of this. Medibang Paint for its warp tool and being able to organize layers in a Gimp/Photoshop manner.Microsoft Launcher, I doubt any of the Samsung, Google, Nord, etc. launchers of recent years are comparable in layout efficiency and customizability, plus no forced searchbar. Best launcher, in my opinion. The more popular 3rd party launchers for Android on the Play Store are clunky and require tons of scrolling to access your apps.>>100193149I use Brian Framer's Notepad, it is very simple and can save/load txt files, which a lot of notepad-type apps don't for whatever inane reason(s).For task planning, I just use Google Calendar. I make edits or add stuff from my tablet or phone and then I can later double check it on the other device, so it syncs across devices. Invaluable to me.

>>100201756>>grossly overpricedThe Xperia Ace IV is probably gonna be $400. Plus the 5 and 10 line for Xperia are cheaper. Idk why you have this vendetta against an entire company for selling one $1000+ phone you don't have to buy. >>unable to provide Android updates in a timely manner. Your phone will likely be abandoned after 1-2 major Android versions.You've never used a phone without updates and it shows.
cracked screen on my S20 ultra (128gb). Get it fixed for $200 or get an S24 plus (512gb) for $1400. Money isn't really an issue, but I'd plan to keep the S24 until I either really fuck it up, or til it stops getting updates. I've really come to love the goodlock suite of apps so I think I want to stick with Samsung.
>>100202982>The Xperia Ace IV is probably gonna be $400That's close to the price of the 10 models except you get way less phone for it seemingly.
Any recommendations for some decent budget Android pads that:>have Google services>good speakers>decent performance for multimedia - web, movies, reading>SD slot>preferably decent battery>preferably not a lot of preinstalled unremovable junkWant to get one for my parents mostly but I'd be using it sometimes too. Games aren't a priority.
>>100203068are you retarded? there's no need to do either of those.just buy cheapo, quality replacement displays off AliExpress for $80 and fix it yourself. just buy ones that "comes with a frame" to save you a lot of trouble.can vouch since using one rn on my s20u.
>>100203433Yes. Doing this https://youtu.be/VDirdoIEh0Y?si=n9qJhUZQR5iXVpc1, I'd likely just fuck up things further.
How do I use my phone to become more productive and stop procrastinating?

Are you ready for the AI-mazing camera?!
>>100199573What is the reason why most phones don't have removable batteries anymore?I get that the business model for smartphones has shifted into getting consumers to buy a new phone every year, thus making the need for buying a new battery redundant especially with the amount of different phones on the market making compatibility a mess.Also any good recommendations for S24 Ultra alternatives since it doesn't have a headphone jack?
>>100203732>asks a question>answers it in the next lineAnyway, we're getting replaceable batteries again in a few years
>>100203732xperia 1 vi maybe?
>>100203757No, we're not. Those pull tabs that Samshit are finally re-adding on their phones? That's the compliance for the eurocuck law.

>>100203911Nah. They specify that the phone must have user replaceable batteries. I.e. no special equipment, and your mom should be able to do it.
>>100203362Someone's who buying the Ace IV for the size ain't gonna buy an Xperia 10.
How botnet/cucked is an at&t-locked Pixel 8 pro? I can get one as a free trade in on a 3 year contract or pay a couple hundred after trade in on Amazon for a factory unlocked 7a and install grapheneOS right away, not sure which way I should go. I don't need the additional performance/features but it'd be nice to save the money and I can install grapheneOS after the three years is up (I think--maybe right away if I'm not scared of voiding my warranty, but I'm not sure about this) and still have four years of device support. Thanks.

got an iPhone 15 Pro within the last year. swapped from an s23 ultra, just wanted something different and not as massive. I liked it for a bit because it was a change of scenery and all of my normie friends were excited I finally got an iphone.just bought a refurbished s22+ and swapping back to that. how can people use this fisher price scam phone? every app requires a fucking subscription, and compatibility with non-apple products sucks. you bleed money with these phones. the UI is the most dumbed down thing I've ever used. it's infuriating.are applechuds REALLY this stupid?
>>100205652You went from s23u to s22+?
>>100205858traded s23u in, plus after having that phone for a while i realized the size of it was a bit bothersome. don't need anything past 8 gen 1 chip for what i do and if i need a camera I'll still have the iphone laying around. only good thing it has,
>>100205652>are applechuds REALLY this stupid?Yes.

>>100206717Sick lmao.
>>100201696Left looks better.
just got a base iPhone 15 today, I have to say that after spending 4 hours setting it up, it's a good device with a lot of good exclusives, though it's quite shit to move around inside the OS, that being said I applied every protection there is, I wouldn't drop it but I guess it's well protected anyways, I have to start looking for a hearing aid so it doubles down as a medical device, the magsafe stuff is nice...what else can I say...well...it's a phone, it's a fucking phone, it's literally just a damn phone, paid $750 for the 128GB version, I feel like it's worth the price, but absolutely not worth 1k, I had to buy the charger separately and the fucking usb cable was a type c to type c...what in the FUCK where they thinking? it doesn't even fit in the original wall charger and I had to buy an adapter, that aside it's fine, it's a phone with many commodities, but I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't have shit hearing and needed an hearing aid, which are all mFi made for iPhone, but yeah I also like the small size, it's a phone, I have a phone

GPS on my phone from 2013 completely stopped working. Was it supposed to happen, new satellites and compatibility requirements or whatever, or it's something with my phone?
>>100206809you think I should keep it? is there a way for them to track it down and come after me?

Is a Hisense phone atleast as trustworthy as a modern Lenovo laptop? The Hisense A9 PRO E INK looks really cool, Im a bit spooked by the chinese manufacturer but at this point nothing is made entirely outside of china. Im ok with a modern thinkpad laptop is this anymore scetch?
Anyone use their old phone as a security camera with free or non-free software? Are there any old cheap phones you can think of that would work well for this?

>>100211038Xcover 5.
>>100211076Released 3 years ago and it's a rugged phone.
>>100205638I've used this for 2 years and during that time I've never been able to completely replace my previous phone with it.The form factor makes typing anything a chore, even after installing a T9 keyboard on it. Most UIs weren't designed for 3" screens in mind either.I will say that it is adequate for listening to music and displaying QR codes, and taking pictures is surprisingly comfy despite the mediocre quality, but it struggles with everything else as a daily driver.
>>100209945compared to other chinese manufacturers, they're fine. i see them more as a tv manufacturer, similar to TCL>>100210926bold of you to assume that moon droppings would take considerable effort on anything other than marketing, design, and the anime girl they'll put on the box

I dropped my Zenfone 9 on a paved surface and it stopped reading the second SIM slot. A dumb ass way to solve it from googling is to reset the phone. Since I had no time making backups now I have to set up my phone again. And guess what, the second SIM slot ends up not reading again after like an hour! I really hate my phone now.Also I wish the Qin F22 Pro have NFC, would've swapped to this if they have that.

I'm thinking of buying the nothing phone 2a when it's released in my country in 2 weeks.Is there anything wrong with it?It looks like the cheapest phone with:-good battery and charging-not to heavy -decent cameras-120hz screen-recentI'm coming from a s10e which is now full of urine after falling I'm toilet.
>>100211038> 148х72It's larger than s24, what's the point?
>>100213815> Is there anything wrong with it?Mostly clown phone. Don't waste money, if you went to chink phone with bad firmware, then at least get other BBK brand, like realme.
>>100213815S23 is better and cheaper, and it's somewhat similar to the s10e
>>100214219S23 fe is $400 more expensive than the 2a.
>>100214422I didn't say buy it from samsung, and I didn't say s23 fe which is a very different phone. People are literally forced to get these phones when they don't want them. I found my s23 for $500 cad in unopened box by someone that renewed their family plan on a deal forum, you can get them brand new for $400 usd.
>>100213815Just get an S23.My brother was in the same situation and had an s10e, upgraded to a normal s23 and he loves it.

>>100199573how do you filter phones that have a glued on backpanel? Need a new budget one whos battery I can change 4-5 years later without a heating pad but apparently they all use some sort of glue nowadays. Is it just the glass ones?
>>100215162Samsung is just Apple with an Android skin
>>100199573Thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy A35? I don't do any gaming on my phone and I really only care about it not looking terrible, having a decent screen, decent camera, decent battery, having a decent operating system that isn't bloated spyware, and getting security updates for a long time. I was on a Xiaomi phone before and I really fucking hate how unpolished and full of ads MIUI feels despite the hardware being amazing for the price. Will 6GB of RAM be a problem for basic usage like web browsing, yt watching, opening social media apps, etc.
>>100215475Not even close. Removing the headphone jack and sd card slot was a bastard move but that's where the similarities end.
>>100213383Maybe you should check the simcard instead? Most of the time the gold contact on are probably damaged

Chinks are budget flips every other month and even samsung will release one this year, if they keep at it and cheapen out on the outer screen and the camera they can probably release a decent flip midrange by next year.

I got a used phone, it came slightly bent, but working. Will putting it in a hard case straighten it back out, like pic related? Or are there specialized tools for it?
>>100219888I doubt it. You'd have to be applying constant pressure for it to bend back. And only a rigid case would do that … one of those metal frame ones that you'd have to screw shut, or an Otterbox type case that snaps shut. But since theyre usually formed to fit the phone snugly, you might not be able to get the phone into it.

Thank you fossfags. I needed an Android keyboard because GBoard finally made me snap. Gboard's predictive text suggestions don't work exclusively with the word Minecraft despite it showing in the suggestions, and I was getting furious after accidentally googling "minecr trading" for the goddamn billionth time. My muscle memory is trained where if I see a suggestion that will save taps I will press it and I will also assume the piece of shit keyboard actually typed the suggestion, which is never the fucking case with Google, and continue typing. I tried samsung and microsoft's keyboards, but they both put text on the spacebar and are completely unusable due to it. Pulled up one off fdroid and now I can fucking type Minecraft. Thank you.

>>100229079if he wants an SD card slot it's because he wants more than whatever amount of storage most phones currently offer (which is 512GB maximum), an SD card could expand the total storage 1.5 times

>>100229301that's a valid reason as well
should I get Pixel 6 Pro or Infinix gt 20 pro?
You should get an iPhone 15
>>100229301That is not a real issue, you can push mp3s, videos, pictures (even webp) either through adb or something like SolidExplorer's ftp access. There is no file that you can access on an SD card that you can't put on internal storage.What filetype can you put on an SD card (and access) that you cant put on internal storage?

Any way to upgrade my 2018 Oppo A5S (Color OS that doesn't update anymore)? it's so sluggish now. I do have my secondhand iPhone X for calls and vidya but I prefer working on android. Buying new android phone is not an option.

bought galaxy f34will be delivered todayany good?
>>100199573Anyone got experience with Blackview phones? I think about to buy one of their Outdoor ones and would loves some recommendations which one is good and which one not
>>100232683It's fine.
How universal are smartphone screen connections?I have a phone with a broken screen (the screen displays some colors but nothing is clear enough to see what I am doing). I don't care about the phone itself, I just want to get data off the internal storage onto an SD card. Therefore, I don't need a screen that will actually fit nicely in the phone, I can just have the screen sitting beside the phone and plugged in while I transfer data.So I have a few questions:>I assume a phone screen is only connected by a wire or perhaps a few wires (aside from glue and/or screws), correct?>How universal are these wires? Could I take any phone screen from any random phone and connect it to another brand/model phone?>The touch screen technology is all built into the screen, so if I have the screen just connected to the phone's wires but sitting beside the phone, I can still navigate by touching things on the screen as normal, correct?Thanks
What pros does the pixel 8 have over the pixel 7?>inb4 other phoneIll get a pixel
>>100235622I think 8 supports HDMI/DP output.
>>100235699Kinda cool but probably wont ever use it i guess.. im thinking 7a now
am I wasting money spending 320 euros on a a54? I always bought cheap chink phones but I wanna try a "real" brand.
i want to upgrade from my iphone 11 (lmao)Xperia 1 IV or 5 V?
>>100236742iii and iv overheat
>>100229562I have no idea, it doesn't seem to matter what the filetype is, or the filesize, or the filename.
it's joever
ive made a severe financial mistake, at least i have 16gb of ram :)
>>100238454>8 Gen 1>$1000Ouch, that chip is a housefire >>100237351How are you trying to transfer the files?
>>100237448>Neeggaaaa--->Neeggaaaa---
>>100236657sirs?
>>100236657From everything I've seen it's a decent enough midranger
Do film screen protectors look and/or feel bad? Are there some good quality ones? Looking for some for the S23U
is pixel 6a a good purchase in 2024?im looking to get my boomer parents some good, reliable phones. they dont do anything fancy, jsut taking pics, whtsapp etc
Pixel 3a xl guy from the other thread. Looked more into the Moto g stylus 5g 2023. The only two things making me hesitant are the LCD screen and the update support. I've become pretty used to OLED screens on phones so how bad are they really? And I've seen reviews talk about how Moto phones have bad longevity update-wise. How big of a deal is that anyway? So what, I won't get new emoji shit? My other choice is the Pixel 7a but it's a hundred bucks more, and while I'm not planning on doing too much emulating/gaming it's still kinda important to me. And apparently the tensor chip isn't great for that.
>>100235010Get a USB C to HDMI cord, connect it to external monitor and get your stuff off of it that way.
>>100236742Xperia 5 V
>>100240882Yes. Just get the cheap glass ones.
>>100242132>is pixel 6a a good purchase in 2024?It's fine but maybe check out the 7a too. >>100242430>And I've seen reviews talk about how Moto phones have bad longevity update-wise. How big of a deal is that anyway?Doesn't matter much at all. Most versions of Android are still supported.
>>100242554Didnt know those existed, thanks!
is graphene still going strong? I was thinking about picking up a pixel 6 just for it
>>100243525Pixel 6 was all right, but too big for not being a Pro model. I would much prefer the 8 since it is significantly smaller and supported longer, of course being newer it costs more.If you like smol phones check out the Z Flip5 it's small in the pocket but unfolds to a decent size screen. My iPhone 13 Mini was nice in my pocket but sometimes felt cramped in use. It's like the ultimate party phone, MrMobile prefers the bigger Fold models for working but likes the Flip on weekends. Only downside is it's fairly expensive and no telephoto lens. Hopefully someone makes a Flip-style phone with a camera setup equivalent to S24U/iPhone 15 Pro Max/Pixel 8 Pro but size is a constraint.
Moondrop sisters.... they're making fun of us
>>100242590>Doesn't matter much at all.I see, thanks. l assume it's the same with security patches?
>>100244328...to no one's surprise
Seriously considering getting an iphone 15 pro, I've already bought into the apple ecosystem and I don't think I can take google and samsungs shit anymore
I need help picking between two very similar phone models, /spg/. They're both Samsung Galaxy A35s, both ship to me in the same time period, the only discernable differences are:>256 GB storage, 8 GB RAM version says "Latin American Warranty," $370 on Amazon>128 GB storage, 6 GB RAM version, $450 with two year "Care+" warranty (or w/e it's called, everything but loss/theft) sold on Samsung websiteWtf is a "Latin American" warranty, will it still work in the US? They both say they're unlocked, will the Latin American one not work on a US data plan? Is it gonna play mariachi music all the time?! Why tf wouldn't I spend way less for a way better phone?
>>100245287>Is it gonna play mariachi music all the time?!yes, very useful if you want to learn Spanish
What ufs version does this moondrop phone have?
>>100225593why do you need the latest android updates?
god I wish Oppo released these sexy beasts outside of China. I hope they keep the design for the next one, which they apparently are releasing worldwide.
>>100245766The camera island is retarded
Still comfy on my s23 plus
>find phone I like for a good price>no headphone jackThe iphone and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
I bought an a15 and it has a headphone jacksome of you nwahs need to look at cheaper phones I think
>>100244081>Only downside is it's fairly expensive and no telephoto lens. Hopefully someone makes a Flip-style phone with a camera setup equivalent to S24U/iPhone 15 Pro Max/Pixel 8 ProZ Flip 7 is getting a zoom camera, apparently.
>>100244481Yup, pretty much.
>>100246284youre retarded
>>100247179Had to give the jack up. Thanks to those fuckwits. Now makers are splitting those two features on their decently-specc'd devices. Or as this newfag >>100247491, who doesn't know how to reply properly said, are present on cheap devices.
>>100247179That is why I can't respect this android manufacturers. None of them innovate, they literally just copy apple, down to the hardware and software decisions.The reason I use android over iphone is because of price and freedom. You can't install f-droid, unlock your bootloader, and root your phone on an iphone.
>>100250021you can barely unlock the bootloader and root on most non chinkshit androids anyways, at least on NA spec phones. i suspect theres a law that the US doesnt have that everyone else has that lets manufacturers sell locked bootloaders in the US
MY XIAOMI IS SHITTING ITSELF AND DYING IN ITS OWN SHITDO I GET A 350€ PIXEL 7 OR A NOTHING PHONE 2A FOR 350€

>Infinix Note 40Can this phone beat my S20+? The battery on it is fucking up.
>>100252351no.
>>100252182god the amount of sexual chemistry between us is off the charts. asl?
>>100252495Why?
>>100252613you'll only benefit from better battery life. everything else is a downgrade.
>>100252351lol, no. no midrange can beat the sd865 still
Want to get the best phone in terms of hardware with custom rom support. For 170$ or less. Looking at motorola g32 8gb. Is custom rom support good on these? The only other option I see is redmi note 12, but that will be a huge downgrade in ram available.
>>100252351no, just replace your battery. Buy one and DIY for 10-15 dollars or pay a shop 80-100. New samsung A series are just now kind of approaching the performance for 4 year old flagships. Plus those s21, 22, 23 series are only getting cheaper as time moves on.
>>100253410The snapdragon 7+ gen 2 from last year surely would
>>100253529Nvm, went with redmi note 12 because of wider community support.
>>100209073Don't anyone tell this faggot that conservative politicians use the word "folks" the most
>>100244328MOONDROPPED
>>100247706Sick. I'm planning on trading in my 5 for a 6 and then a 6 for a 7 the following year. Super happy with my 5 though.

Guys, is the SD778 still a handy chip? I know it's not futureproof but it will do for day to day shit right?
>>100201329i recently nuked my 13 mini and its somehow become a collectible and i cant get a new one for less than $2000 on ebay. cant wait for this lil guy
have a galaxy note 9 and want to get a new phone>samsung is too expensive>apple is apple>the rest is chink shithow did things turn out to be this way?
>>100254879Low-key same. I've never consooomed this much, but fun things are fun. >mfw Z Flip 6 is bringing back blue
>>100255359Oh yeah. >>100256022The Samsung A series and S23 FE exist. Maybe that's more up your ally. Motorola is also around. Moto Edge+ 2023 or Motorola Thinkphone might be what you're looking for.
is there any phone that has a better telephoto lens than the periscope lens on the S22/23?
Anybody have a Red Magic 9 Pro and can share their experience with the phone? After trying to decide between S24+, S22U & S21U I decided I'm probably going to get this since it rivals flagships and I can play games/emulate during commute but I keep seeing people online bitching about software updates as the main downside. Is the software really that much of an issue for people that aren't retarded or is it just mindless complaining?
>>100255359If your day to day shit is so simple, then even an SD 695 might satisfy you too.
>>100199573Too bad I can't use this on metro otherwise I'd buy it, I'm a sucker for waifushit.
I was thinking to myself "should I get a folding phone?" Then as I was scrolling on my phone my nail hit the screen and I realized folding phones aren't for me
>>100245287>Why tf wouldn't I spend way less for a way better phone?cause people are retarded, they might find just the other one and not bother to look for something cheaper or better
>>100257083>folding memeCheck out used markets that have foldables listed. It's amazing how low foldfags will sink to just to resell their damaged/creased shit.
>>100199573Do Huawei/Xiaomi phones have backdoors that are accessible to western governments?
Been a samsung user for 15 years, just bought a 15 pro.
>>100256022At just over $300 new, the thinkphone can't really be beat >>100257083You should get a thinkphone
>>100257432Fuck no, the reason I was thinking of a folding phone in the first place was portability, I don't need to get another massive brick of a phone
>>100257475>a cell phone isn't portable
>>100257494Yea
>>100257285Nothing of the sort. Hamas used them coz glowie niggers and jews couldn't tap on them. Dangerously based, I say.
>>100242430This is probably a dumb question but why not just get the Moto Edge 2022 for $140? It has an OLED 1300 nits screen, where as the Stylus 5G 2023 apparently maxes out at 600 nits. "Furthermore, the display topped out at 564 nits when we measured the Moto G Stylus 5G screen with a light meter — it's very difficult to see details on the screen in direct sunlight."My biggest pet peeve with phones is low max nits. You have no idea how valuable a bright phone is until you're using it for GPS every day and you can barely see it in direct sunlight.
>>100245287You need to check the bands, it should have a very specific model number somewhere that you can reference on the band checking sites.
>>100257713That's what I thought. Just wanted confirmation, thanks.
>>100223705The drawing is unnecessary. The original on top is funnier.
I don't fucking care anymoreI'm buying the pixel 8I don't care if it has a fucking exynos or exynos-adjacent chipI'm so fucking tired of seeing a good phone then looking up how big it is and it's unwieldy as shit
>>100257713Too bad they dont really work in na
Lads I need a new phone and I want aan excellent camera and excellent battery life. Budget not an issue. Any recommendations?I'm close to just getting an iphone 15 pro max, my wife has one and gets insane battery life but I don't want to deal with the apple account stuff.Android phone manufacturers really fell behind somehow.
>>100259215Vertu Constellation
>>100256473Not at 30x-100x But the bigger 3.5x sensors on Chinese phones like vivo x100 pro/oppo find x7 ultra are better below that, the oppo might be better beyond that actually I forget
>>100199661Can I find a complete breakdown of Snapdragons naming scheme somewhere?I’m completely lost ever since they abandoned the 8xx series.
Is A54 still worth it? Big sale coming right up it might go down as low as 220usd in my shithole country
>>100258969Enjoy your battery dying before the end of the day.
>>100259215Oppo Find X5
>>100260181I have a find x3 currently and the battery life is atrocious. It fell of really fast.
>>100256586not an owner but at absolute best you'll be getting a year and a half of security updates and an upgrade to android 15 (if theyre feeling generous) assuming you buy it today. that and they only use like 20% of each American carrier's bands. lol.
>>100260236I've had my X5 for a while now and it still gets me through two days.
>>100258969Pixel 8 is a great phone, for all 2 hours that the battery lasts
>>100260142>they don't have $250 used Galaxy A55 256gbThat sucks, bro. No other choices? What about importing?
Give it to me straight, are Sony phones actually dogshit on the software side? On the hardware side, they seem absolutely perfect, but so many people have said that many kinds of common software is borked to fuck on Sony. Plz /g/ tell me the truth. I don't want to have to go for a Scamscum phone
>>100261217They're shit in software and hardware. Fuck Xperia shills.
>>100261973Found the dongle salesman.
>>100261217I mean its mostly stock android
>>100199573will iphone 15 price drop after the iphone 16 annoncement ?>inb4 buy a chinkdroidthe only reason im ogling the iphpne 15 specifically is because of its ability to shoot RAW video. as a producer thats a huge plus
>>100200548sony's smarthphone division should all be fired, nobody can fallow their retarded naming shit "xperia x y z 2 - 3 ..." they have not added any revolutionary features since ever
>>100262560No.
>>100260041from what i can remember:>snapdragon 4 is lowend>6 is low - midrange>7 is mid - high end>8 is high end - flagship>"+" means higher binned, which means higher cpu freq and higher memory bandwidth (but with 8+ gen 1's case, it's more of them transitioning back from samsung to tsmc). it's the same thing with their older cpus like the 855+ and 865+>"s" versions are the polar opposite>gen 1/2/3/4 are self explanatory
>>100262560Man...I wish furry women were real...
Phones are too damn big these days and have too many cameras on them. We need to go back to ~4.5-5.0" and 1-2 cameras total.
>>100256586>Is the software really that much of an issue for people that aren't retarded or is it just mindless complaining?Mindless complaining.
>>100259215S24 Ultra. Battery is better than the 15PM.
