So when the Pixel 10 series comes out, who's going to supply the modems for it? Is it gonna be like Apple where they use Snapdragon modems but not Snapdragon SoCs?

What's the state of joycon support on Android 14? I'm interested in getting a pair for gaming on my tablet.
Is the Pixel 8 worth it just for the GrapheneOS support? should I wait for a price drop when the P9 releases?
>>101420092Got a Max for the first time this weekend and I would never go back.
>>101421991Better performance and software support, probably a better hinge. The Razr+ does have a more soulful design, though I don't care for the cameras blocking the exterior screen. I'd be curious to see how it holds up in the long run, as I heard previous nu-Razrs had issues
>>101422455I used one a few days. The Pixel design was not appealing to hold and use daily. The camera on Graphene also sucks so you’d have to give up some features.Graphene itself is phenomenal, the best phone OS there is, but you also are paying hundreds of dollars for a smartphone, and then effectively making a dumb phone if you want privacy
>>101422483I guess that's a trade off I'm willing to pay for the privacy benefits, I usually debloat the stock roms anyways so why not go all the way
Pixel 8a or Xperia 10 VI. What is the better phone to get right now?The Xperia is 100€ cheaper at the moment and has a headphone jack and a micro-SD slot. I also like the less round corners of the display, the physical fingerprint reader and the longer battery life. On the other hand the Pixel has the better camera, better soc, better software and longer updates, display out via usb-c , better availability of replacement parts and custom roms.I'm coming from an LG G8. I don't want to game on it but it should still be snappy enough in 5 years or so.I’ve looked at reviews and specs for the last 9 hours and still can’t fucking decide between the two.
I know the is /gee/, but, I've been thinking of getting an iPhone for my next phone. I don't use Spotify or any streaming services so are there programs that will play my flac files natively? (I don't really care if flac is a meme)
>>101422564Give it a shot. I was willing to pay the $50 if I returned the Pixel to try it out finally. I really liked it but just went back to a locked down iPhone
I was running a stopwatch with the default clock app and it was surprisingly battery intensive for something that should be simple. Any alternatives I should be looking for?
>>101422609On the phone no. ALAC is just as good but it’s shitty to have to convert everything to it for sure.At least the conversion is instant to do
>>101422609>>101422652VLC maaaaaaybe could work but I don’t think it’s an intuitive app on iPhone. I just used it for WebMs

there's some guy constantly fellating oneui saying it's not bloat that it just has everything you might need and yet I'm here searching the settings and can't find an option to show the network speed on the notification bar

>>101417690>why are mutts slaves to carriers>how do mutts live with whitelist carriersI answered this already. Muttland is fucking big and the cell phone carriers don't care about investing in coverage for the less densely populated areas. I live in East Bumfuck, Nowhere, USA, and the only cell carrier in my area that provides adequate coverage happens to be AT&T. I'm trying to move to an MVNO instead of AT&T prepaid which I'm currently using because I hate them, but switching to Verizon or T-Mobile or whatever is not an option.And for frequencies I mean which of these frequencies would mean a phone will work with AT&T towers? I'm trying to pick a phone to use with the MVNO to buy but the search database doesn't tell you what freqs you need for what carriers.
>>101422918>>101422928you can enable that with Good lock iirc
>>101422991As an Australian it's crazy to think about how spread out the US population is, like 99% of us live by the coast so nearly none of us have this problem
>>101423023>nearly none of us have this problemNot too many of us have this problem either. Our population is more spread out than yours but still really concentrated on the coasts and even the rural areas usually still have okay coverage. I am unlucky because I live somewhere rural, full of mountains and near state park land where they are reluctant to put up radio towers that would disturb the view so it's like the worst case scenario for adequate cell cover.(Actually, I think I'm very lucky to live here anytime I'm not shopping for cell phones, I'm an /out/ist and I love the mountains, but fuck I want my Verizon back)

I've been using my OnePlus 9 Pro for awhile now and I've been meaning to upgrade. I don't want the newest OnePlus 12 because of the price but, in between those model what's the best one ?
>>101423090Xperia
A chinkshit phone (Doogee Smini) lists these as their frequencies:FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/25 /26/28A/28B/66TDD: B34/38/39/40/41WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8CDMA: BC0/BC1GSM: B2/3/5/8Support EDGE/GPRSIs this compatible with AT&T's towers? I'm too retarded to figure it out. I know it's not on the AT&T whitelist, but is there any chance I can get it to work on Red Pocket MVNO using AT&T towers?
any actual reason to use the samsung account shit
>>101423180Nord 3 or the upcoming Nord 4
>>101422715OMG! They look so cute!
>>101422609I'm going to assume it'd be a shitty experience since apple doesn't expect users to have their own media files, FLAC especially.
>>101422598>LG G8That's funny. I just switched from a G8 myself not too long ago. Got a Pixel Fold and I've been really liking it so far. I'd imagine the Pixel 8a would be similar just minus the fold and significantly cheaper. I know my local cell phone store was having a pretty good deal on the 7a. I think it was only $100 or so.
>>101423552no, I don't use an account for my s23 ultra, no issues.

Is LineageOS with Gapps installed and microg secure?Im deciding between the xperia 1V with Lineage and the Pixel 9 for Graphene. Although the Pixel 9 looks like it'll be stupid expensive and I know it wont be worth it other than for Graphene, so maybe Ill get the 8 or 8a on sale.

I live in East Bumfuck, Nowhere, USA, and the only cell carrier in my area that provides adequate coverage happens to be AT&TI live in Russia and you know we don't have such a problem.Seriously. I've heard that Russia had universal federal carriers before USA did.> And for frequencies I mean which of these frequencies would mean a phone will work with AT&T towersCan't help you with that. The only thing I've heard about AT&T is that they have whitelist of phones.I can explain you how volte works but basically it's whitelist. Carrier must have dedicated code on their side do do your phone. Only if they both compatible you can use volte. You can inject volte code on your phone to trick carrier but it's.. not an easy task. It's easily done in OnePlus or realme but I don't know about other phones.
>>101423276I think this post >>101424959 is related to you.I can't find any information about volte injection on this device. In Russia it "just werks", possibly because doogee releases volte configuration for carriers in public and Russian carriers just implemented it.If carrier doesn't care It's only injection that can help. But there's no instructions lol.

how good is snapdragon 7+ gen 3 for emulating switch games?
>>101422598Xperia 10 VI but the Pixel 8a is objectively better. Maybe get the Xperia 10 V instead.
Fellow jack boomers, where do we flee? Sony?
>>101425497I have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 cpu so not the same but I've emulated switch games on it. There are noticeable frame drops compared to a real switch, at least on Yuzu. The more graphically demanding games will not be enjoyable to play with lag and frame drops. For visual novels it works perfectly though.Also Vita3k, the PS Vita emulator, works great too.

>>101426695Sorry, this wasn't a very helpful post.

Dark Reader and I Still Don't Care About Cookies make it worthwhile but Violentmonkey is really nice too. I don't think I'd want to use a browser without extensions now>>101426739I have a sidebar with a constant feed of anime art from Xitter so I'm locked into Firefox until Elon cuts off the classic Tweetdeck loophole

My second-hand Galaxy Watch 4 arrived, so far so good. Software update nuked 25% of the battery, but I've charged it to 100% and hoping the battery life is okay. It's been over 25 minutes and, knock on wood, the battery reading still says 100%.

S24 Ultra or Fold 6?
>>101427091The S24 Ultra has a higher chance of surviving the 7 years of promised software updates, if you replace the battery at the halfway point. The Fold's inner screen with probably be too worn out to be worth replacing the battery to keep the phone going.
>>101427087Why do you need two adblockers? You're not allowed on /g/ if you don't know how to configure your phone to use your pihole.
>>101426772Exynos sort of sucks, but it's more than enough for comfy and high speed browsing. I'm NA, so SD for me, but hopefully those gooks will be fair next time to all markets.
>>101427091I have s22 ultra since the launch, great phone, I assume s24u is just as good. With heavy usage still holds entire day just like when I bought it. I'd get s24u desu
>>101427091my problem with folding phones is the price doesn't make sensefor $1,800-2,000 I could just get both a phone and a tablet. actually, it's significantly cheaper to do that
>>101427215>I could just get both a phone and a tablet. actually, it's significantly cheaper to do thatI did this before buying a folding phone and the experience isn't even close to being the same. Phone + tablet combo felt like a chore.
>>101427080> Firefox sync sucks massive assGood goy use sync
>>101427228I'm sure there's convenience with a folding phone. but the expanded view is still too tiny that it doesn't make up for 11" or bigger tablets. how could it? just feels like cope to me. although if you're using a Fold and ALSO using a tablet I would kinda understand it...just feels like a waste rn esp with the creases visible
>>101427215I found my Fold4 to be fantastic for commuting but now I drive to work and I have one of these >>101422715 for phone stuff and a 12" tablet at home for tablet stuff and my Fold feels kinda redundant. Being able to crack it open and read a couple of chapters of manga during lunch break or whatever is fantastic but if that's not something you're interested in then it's hard to recommend since watching videos and playing games on a handheld suck whether the screen is 6" or 7.6" or 9.7" or 12.7" so it's not much of an improvement for those use cases
>>101424007>>101425513Thanks Anons, I think I'll go with the 8a. Kinda hard to justify spending 100€ more for a phone with worse battery life and no headphone jack or micro sd slot but I it is what is.>>101425610The jew is on every (stock) android phone anyways, just a little more on the pixel phones I guess. At least there are custom roms with less jew available for the 8a, the support for the 10 VI doesn't seem as good in that regard. But yeah I always liked the products of the honorary aryans and if it just had a better camera or better image processing I'd gone with the sonny boys.

Not too terribly intrerested in having further sex anytime soon either, shit was mediocre and I'd rather do it with a proper girlfriend next time instead of a whore and maybe enjoy it. At least I can say I'm not a virgin!/spg/ smartphone general I love the color scheme of the purple and gold S21
>>101427624Good thinking. Sex with someone who actually likes you is way better
>>101427624you are a faggot. that is why you did not enjoy it.
>>101420609they have $1200 laptops with 8GB of ram, why would they sell phones with 16?

>>101428625>>101428637Pixel 7a is "on sale" for prime day at 359€ here. Why are these things so cheap in burgerland?
>>101428774Also no sd slot, display out, SoC is a pocket heater, inferior in display fingerprint reader.
Should I get the OnePlus 12? Amazon has the 512GB version on sale for $699 and that doesn't sound like a bad deal
Would it be a mistake to buy a current gen Galaxy phone with new ones right around the corner?
>>101425287bubbles are still green and ugly by design, they literally broke their own UI design rules to make android users look undesirable
Thoughts on Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G for 305€?I've been pretty content with Xiaomi phones, their apps suck but I just don't use them. Currently using a Xiami Note 10 Pro.Samsungs look attractive to me too but it feels like you always have to pay 100€ extra for the same performance.
I hate phones with the built in camera on fingerprint sensor on the screen.
>>101429426I do miss the rear fingerprint sensor
Received today my s24 exycuck and so far I love it, even on light performance mode it's blazingly fast compared to my poco f3. Still haven't migrated and set-up everything, but getting thereI kind of like samsung launcher and keyboard, but am still tempted to switch back to nova prime and gboard, because I am used to them. What would you advise, they seem to be good enough and to fit in their ecosystem
>>101426684Firefox with uo and dark reader

>>101429812why isn't there a cross-platform-browser for browser stuff? Passwords can be put into a pwd manager, but tabs and such
>>101429092If you like the specs, design, etc. and genuinely want to upgrade your aging device, yes.
>6 years of updates>25% better battery life than iPhone 15 Pro max>7+gen3>charges full in 28 minutes>metal bodyNow tell me why the new Nord4 isn't the best deal ever?
Whoever designed this should be shot straight on the forehead
>>101429364The Note 13 series had their wifi6 gutted out. The 12 had it. Maybe wait for Note 14 series in a few months?And oh, that phone is priced nearly the same as a samshit A55 in my shithole place. Both bnew prices.
>>101429990>6 years updootsKek. Will you even make it past year 3 before consooming again? You won't.
>>101429364Don't buy Xiaomi if you don't plan on using a custom ROM, their software is dog crap.
>>101429990what a stupid icon kek
>>101430044I don't even make it past 3 months
>>101429990Looks like a refresh of the pixel 2
>>101429757Dark Reader has a bug that uses battery, even on standby
Anyone knows some file manager that can connect to a PC via Ethernet? It's not an smarthphone, but an SBD with Android. Checked FD and found nothing. I am using kde to move files around but it' can be so slow, and it has an ethernet port so I would like to use it to move things faster. Thanks.
>>101430147Iirc Xiaomi's file manager has FTP support
>>101430015>samshit A55Speaking of which, I've been eyeballing that one instead for 340€. Not a winner either?>>101430082Yeah on second thought I think I'm probably done with Xiaomi. I do like the cheap hardware but the software is just abysmal. Shitty UI, tons of glitches, data collection out the wazoo. One day the gallery app started constantly draining my battery, I had to actively disallow it from ever running in the background...
>>101430206I used to use Samsung till they started aping Apple's practices. But you could ignore my rant and get the A55 as long as you aren't gaming. I got my Poco X6 pro at less than half of the A55.
Surely there is a decent option under $250 in chinkphone or on prime day?
>>101430322Got the 8gb/256gb for $248 but I don't live in whiteland. And didn't want to waste my coins to send it lower.https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_x6_pro-ampp-12717.phpSeems to be hated all over the net except I don't care anymore lol.
>>101430477Headphone jack? SD card?
oneplus 12r or realme gt 6? unfortunately both have curved edge screen but probably fine with caseor f6 pro at similar price or f6 at like 80% of the price of the rest? do these have battery life issues?
>>101430477It's 300. Is there a lower model?
Has folding screen tech peaked already? Year after year, I look at reviews and I still see that goddamn crease
>>101430593The OnePlus open has the least visible crease, but you're never gonna get a crease less phone unless there's a major leap in innovation for plastics
Is the pixel 8 worth $300?
Gotta love Prime Day. I'm gonna cave and buy the OnePlus Open like a sucker
What are we consoooooming fellas
>>101430942Smart devices
>>101430678Yes. If you don't like it then you could probably trade it in for $325-450 for a Pixel 9.

>>101429812Google's password manager works systemwide on Android and isn't limited to the web browser
>12 0% interest paymentsI'm trying to find the scam
OnePlus Pad, Tab S9 FE, Pixel Tablet or Xiaomi Tab?
>>101431046Thats a good point. They're offering $300 for my 7 Pro. I'd keep it but the speakers died out on it and I can't use it as a phone.They'd value an 8 higher than the 7 Pro for the 9 I bet.Thanks anon
>>101422609wait for the "new" iphone coming in the next few months, consider it if they implement the replaceable batteries mandate... otherwise -which is highly likely- get something elseBefore anyone jumps, I never looked up IOS news since Jan
>>101431097NTA but that's exactly the reason I haven't been able to switch to a browser other than Chrome on my phones through the years. Google's auto login thing just doesn't work on other browsers.I use Edge on my PCs due to personal preference, but for android it's strictly Chrome because of how it just werks with my logins. I probably won't be able to switch to iOS for a similar reason, unless it can import all my accounts from my google account into apple's equivalent.

Do you guys have any favorite apps? I've been looking through online app compilations for anything interesting, but most apps featured are either the usual well known mainstream ones (usually social media or shopping related) or gimmicks like drawing a 3D dinosaur on your camera feed.

I just got the needful Scamscum S24 Ultra. What do I do now. Any cool Scamscum spyware I can run that does cool party tricks?Can I gut the software and go all FOSS for the apps?What can and should I do. I already was told to set up a syncthing with my music and photo library. That is comfy.
>>101432157"Circle to Search" is genuinely useful because it's a nicer interface for Google Lens.
>>101432190Party Trick acquired What else should I do? I need a way to automatically record all conversations. It's legal where I am from.How do?
>>101432264OneUI has call recording built in with its stock phone app, you need to enable it everytime you call someone though
>>101431856The phone's screen is miles more resistant than any thin layer of glass that you glue on top of it, that is to say they're useless. If you want to protect your phone buy a good strong case.
>>101432456In terms of impact resistance, yes. But the protectors help against microscratches and scuffs, and you can just replace it for a few bucks whenever it stops looking nice. And it protects the phone itself from scratches, meaning you can resell it more easily later due to it being in great condition.
>>101426436I will believe until the very endSomebody will fill the niche
>>101432494I'm still using my phone that I bought last year with the protective film it came with
>>101432494I never had a screen protector on my phone. Since the time they all come with gorilla glass, I never had any visible scratches, even though I often have it togehter with keys or dust in my pocket. I always have a case on it though.
>>101432591I ran my previous phone Moto Edge 20 completely naked for 2 years and the screen started getting scratches that were visible in bright sun or directly under a lamp after a few months. Not doing that again.My current phone has had a screen protector and case on for the 6 months I've had it and hopefully fares better.
>>101432451It's not in the settings sir

>>101432137Wasn't there some controversy with ShareMe? Or am I thinking of another similar app?
>>101432960Why
>>101432990From a quick google search I think that's ShareIT which used to be owned by Lenovo. ShareMe is owned by Xiaomi and seems about as legit as any other chinkware app.
>>101432137>>101432990>>101433031just use LocalSend

Reminder that Google called their phones the "Pixels" so that when you search on google for the "Google Pixel" you don't get results about the Google Analytics tracking pixel they put on websites, but instead about their cute little camera-focused smartphone brand.
>>101433940I was using kiwi until I learned they had some bug with tampermonkey and so the scripts wouldn't activate anymore.Moved to Firefox but Firefox isn't as good.
>>101434089Interesting. Could go fennec on fdroid, Firefox with less gay
4months ago my phone fell out of pocket while running and the single piece of glass that covers all cameras got cracked. The camera still worked but had trouble focusing due to the missing glass. It wasn't a priority for me to fix it because I don't use it much but last month it was still working in the same condition...Thing is, I checked it today and it's not working at all, just black. I wanted to fix the glass to good it to my dad as I got a good deal on another phone but in faces with the now. The phone has LOS and is rooted, is there some kind of logging I could do to get more info about the issue?I havent updated the system since the fall nor has it fallen again.
>>101421683lookup the benchmarks and teststhe Exynos in s24 is literally equivalent of the SD8Gen2 which is in the s23 in terms of performance and battery life. So no, the chip isn't bad, it's just a year behind.
Does it matter if a phone has a plastic frame?
>>101434157Interesting. I'll give it a shot.Also I was partially wrong. New Tampermonkey requires that you enable developer mode on the browser. Kiwi has some bug which means that Tampermonkey can't read it. Its on Kiwi's end. The workaround is to install the old variant of Tampermonkey.I wanna give Fennec a shot though. I like using apps that aren't on the play store.

>>101436199I want one just to tinker around with.
My phone's battery health dropped to 99% after 126 days of use. Is this normal, should I be concerned? I have a OnePlus 12 Incase you need to know.
>>101436862At that rate its roughly 3% per year. That's fine, good I'd even say.
>>101429990I'm planning on getting a silver Nord 4, looks amazing. Some of the specs are a bit average but it'll still be a nice upgrade over my Nord 2. My biggest issue is that GSMarena lists it as only having USB 2.0 instead of 3.2. No idea why they'd skimp out on that, surely it doesn't add much cost. Hopefully they have a bundle deal with their ear buds.
>>101436862You'd be okay. Iphone users unalive themselves when they lose more than 1% in a year.
>>101436911Oh, thanks a lot! I've been trying to keep my battery between 20 and 80 percent since I got the phone because I heard that was good for longevity. Once again thank you!
>>101436941It's not that big of a deal, it's not like your battery will be completely toast if you plug it in every night. You'll probably get a new phone every 4-6 years, and you will definitely have more than 80% capacity by then even if you abuse the battery as hard as you can.
Probably a stupid question, but is it more efficient if I use a higher wattage charger for my phone? Something like using a 100W/140W charger? I'm just following the same logic as the PSU rule-of-thumb in which it's best to utilize at most 80% of your PSU at load.I know for sure that it'll be better temps-wise and I probably won't encounter the same bullshit that plagues some chargers in which it'll only fast-charge for around 30 minutes before "throttling", but I'd like to hear some thoughts on it.
>>101437018I don't really need to charge it overnight anyway because 100 wat charging is fast as fuck, and I'd also like to get some money for it after I move on.
>Phone at 31%>Put it down and do literally nothing for 2 hours>Get zero notifications>Stay on the same wifi signal>somehow the Phone ended up at 2% batteryI think it's time to get a new phone. I legit have to charge it from 15 to full twice a day right now
