>>101551703use Heliboard floris is dead, both are forks of Openboard. Also use sayboard for voice inputThe setup is only missing emoji search...
>>101552791>1come on now, apple invented colors?>2probably the worst thing they could have copied, that shit looks terrible>3 & 4shameless ripoff
>>101552691I actually love the fact that other companies started to copy the iphone look on the outside. I always loved the how Apple's phone's looked, just couldn't accept the fact that I couldn't sideload after paying that much money.
Are curved edges on phones really annoying as they say? Does it interfere with touch response when you clutch the phone? I quite liked the motorolla edge 50 pro design except the curved screen.
why does samsung stick to onscreen fp reader? I vastly prefer having something at the side or back of the phone>Verification not required.
>>101552691My 2017 A8's super AMOLED is better than my Pixel 7a's OLED.... might return this ....>>101553013Cheers, I will check it put. Regardless, floris works really well for being dead. dont have to worry about pozzed updates too.
What the fuck is moto making?>leaks about the moto edge 50 neo come out a little while ago>ip68, 144hz poled, dimensity 7300 soc, telephoto camera, battery is on the smaller size>not long ago more leaks about a new moto phone come out>ip68, 144hz poled, dimensity 7300 soc, telephoto camera, battery is on the smaller size>but it looks a bit different and has a different name and is supposedly the thinnest phone to pass MIL-810 testsWhy make two
>>101553213Because the phone looks slicker without a visible readee
>>101553377a reader mounted on the power button isn't any more visible than an on screen reader
I've been eyeing at the iPhone 13 now, given that it offers the best value out of the current lineup. Though i'm not sure if i want to get the base model or the mini. I have an S10e as my main and while i plan on still using it for another year or two, i miss having an iPhone, given that my last was a 6s (still works, but very, very old).Is the 13 mini worth getting? Or should i stick to getting the regular 13? >in b4 "get a A55, offers much better value for the same price"
>>101553417get a A55, offers much better value for the same price
Why don't they make phones for people who want decent processing power and don't give the slightest shit about taking pictures? I feel like most phone reviews focus all their attention on the fucking cameras.
>>101553444>what is flagship killer
>>101553442you are not funny
>>101553444That's literally what OP pic is.
>>101553181Not so much annoying as they are fragile and make hard to get a good fit with a screen protector or case.
>>101552791>he buyed a samsung
>>101553444Because taking pictures is what most of that processing power goes to normally.Unless you buy a "gaming phone" I suppose.
>>101553417Depends on your hand size and if you need features that the mini skimps out on.
>>101553518:^(
so I'm looking for a smartwatch with ok sensors. I'm wary of samsung due to ecosystem lock-in, I hear the pixels have good sensors but I hear the battery is shite, what options are there? Also would prefer having rotating bezels but not a deal breaker.
Are foldables just a meme?
>>101553892Yeah but they're a fun meme, provided you don't break them
>>101553919Fun in what way? What's the advantage of using a foldable?
>>101553927The ones that fold out into a mini tablet obviously have the advantage of basically being a more portable tablet. The flip phones just feel nice to open and close (not as nice as old school flip phones though, because the hinge is stronger) and you can use their small outer screen while they're closed for stuff. They don't offer and big practical advantages. They're more just tech toys. If you just want an expensive high spec phone get a regular flagship.
>>101551703Take the Thumbkey pill
>>101552691Day 3 of not being able to use my Fold 6 due to ATT's eSIM activation being retarded. They're about to exchange the phone over the eSIM not provisioning itself correctly.
I found a s10 at a gypsy at a flea store for 20 euro, did I miss out?
>>101554155Depends on what you have right now. I was using my s10+ not too long ago and it felt like a very usable and good phone in 2024. Only reason I stopped using it was because the battery suddenly decided to stop working on me.
>>101553700thanks anon. didn't even think about the case situation. i am now reconsidering my purchasing decision.
How does Motorola's naming scheme work? Even the gooks from Samsung make more sense than this.
>>101554385Moto has the most retarded naming conventions in the industry
>>101554226I have a s22I wouldve bought it only to custom rom it
>>101553763I am 5'5 irl, not to mention my daily driver is a rather small phone
>>101554932cute
>>101555216I'm not. I'm riddled with acne and i tend to scare the opposite sex. It is a curse being me
Need a recommendation guys, lost my phone and looking for a replacement. Something around the specs and price of a Xiaomi note 13 4g as it was my previous one.I only really care about oled display and a camera that can do nice nighttime photos, dual sim would be nice too.Thanks in advance
>>101553181You barely notice it. Though cases do help.
>>101553181Not a fan personally, there is touch rejection on the sides but why fix a problem you intentionally made? Plus videos and stuff can warp weird
>>101554932Be my gf
I don't know what to do with my S24 ultra
>>101553927You're thinking of going from a 5.8" phone to a 5.12" instead of a 6.1" with a better battery life. I dunno what to say, aside from the deserving twink replies.>>101555954Shitpost on 4chan of course!
Why tf are ~6.0" phones completely dead ? Do people actually enjoy having to hold their phones with both hands to use more than 1/4 of the screen ?I'm trying to find a phone that is somewhat recent, cheap, small, good battery life, but I think I'm just going to buy a second Xperia 10 and that makes me sad.
>>101556071AND FUCKING IT UP ALONG THE WAY...>>101554932
What's an actual upgrade for the S10e?Tried the S23+. Returned it because of the dogshit camera lens and post-processing, large size, lack of 3.5mm jack and SD slot (the latter two points I was willing to compromise on if everything else was better, which it wasn't).Am I really stuck with just Zenfone 10 vs. Xperia 5 V? Aren't they a little shitty too?
>>101556120When is someone going to make an S10e with modern hardware, security updates, and a removable battery? It would literally be the perfect phone.
>>101555954loli phone
>>101556082>Why tf are ~6.0" phones completely dead ?Pic related>I'm trying to find a phone that is somewhat recent, cheap, small, good battery lifeYeah an xperia 10 is probably what you want, maybe a 5 if you can get a good deal on one. The 10 VI apparently doesn't have very good battery life, but that's not very relevant because that one is too new to buy used with any kind of significant price reduction.Maybe also look into a used galaxy s23, they're not too expensive nowadays and their battery life is ok

just bought a pixel 6 pro 256gb renewed on Amazon that is supposed to be in excellent condition for $270. was that a good purchase?
>>101555954>he has an ultra high-end smartphone and he doesn't even know how to utilize it correctlyYou're dumb.
Anon just realized that unless you play mobile games like a loser there is no use for a $1200 phone.
>>101553444>Poco>Realme GT/GT Neo>Red Magic>Asus ROG come on
>>101555954why did you spend 4 figures on something you have no use for
>>101558621maybe you just want the best of the best?
This will be a stupid questionI bought a renewed phone (OnePlus Nord N200) off of Amazon back in March to replace one that is a real piece of shit and with AT&T. AT&T had been fucking with my grandmother and making her buy shit she didn't need, so I felt a big moral need to ditch them as much as possible.The Amazon listing said it was unlocked. Now, it took me a while to get around to this, but I finally switched my number over to mint today and tried using this phone. Nothing worked. In trying to figure out why nothing was fucking working, I noticed "Network Unlock" said "Locked".>your device is locked and can only be used with T-Mobile SIM at this timeI know very little about this stuff. I know I should have gotten on this sooner, as the return window from amazon closed a month ago.How fucked am I? Is this thing locked? Can I get it unlocked?
>>101559266Huh, that's odd. I was able to use a T-Mobile locked phone on Mint before. Should work cause they're the same network.
>>101560130Did you have to mess with the APN settings at all?
>>101553213Weirdly enough their low end phones have the reader on the power button, no idea why since that seems to me more like a premium feature.
>>101552791>>101553113I really don't get the watch, outside of the strap being the same color they don't look anything alike
>>101560154Uh, I might have done all that before I was able to usec Mint.
>>101559266T-Mobile should unlock it for free as long as it's paid off. If the previous owner sold it without paying off the device, you're probably fucked. T-Mobile will unlock it if you pay the bill though.There are probably some shady ways to get it unlocked, but I don't know enough about that to say. You are probably more likely to get scammed than anything else.Call T-Mobile or walk into a store to see if they'll do the unlock for free. That's your best option currently. If not, go grovel at Amazon customer support.
>>101560346This gives me hope. So if its paid off, even though I have no idea who the seller was, they'll unlock it if I say, just walk into a store and ask them to?
Do people still use screen protectors? I never put one on my current phone and 7 years on there's not a single scratch. Hell I even put my keys in the same pocket.
are there any foss apps to make a pdf out of arbitrary images?
>>101560402They should. I'm too lazy to link it but a while back the FTC or FCC or some shit made a rule that required telecom companies to offer free device unlocking. Trump might've killed it, idk, look it up.
>>101557487>>101557450Very nice thanks
>>101560461fuck if that solves my issue it will save my next few days. Thanks anon.

If you had an S23 Ultra and could buy any other phone which one would you buy?
>>101562224S24 Ultra, RedMagic 9S Pro, or wait for RedMagic 10.
Evening, I'll be receiving an s24u as a handmedown. is there anything i should do with it before using it proper, or any custom rom that you would recommend? Any tips or suggestions are appreciated thanks.

>>101562207underscreen fingerprint reader was a mistake
>>101561988redpill me on the xperiawhy do they have fanboys? I like the design but isn't android, android?
>>101562572It's desperate attempt at relevance
>>101562539On high-end SoCs the iGPU reserves over 1GB.
>>101562572They are enthusiast phones, most of those fanboys understand that Xperias aren't for everyone. They are very expensive, they have manual cameras that will either take no competition top tier pictures or bottom tier absolute garbage pictures - there is a learning curve and your average user who expects to pull out his/her phone, open the camera app, press the shutter button and get a decent photo, will definitely be disappointed.But other than that, they have excellent screens, speakers, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, they're extremely fast, easily "gaming-phone tier" and physically they are quite durable, tough. Xperia is a phone for someone who is a true power user.
>>101562718>physically they are quite durable, toughNo they aren't
I bought an Xperia 1 V and an S23 Ultra, I returned the Sony after using them both for a month, if anybody wants to ask me about either of them.
>>101562836I'm interested, what made you choose the Samsung over a Sony after a month?
>>101562864There was honestly not a lot in it. The battery life on the Ultra was incredible, and I think OneUI was more complete than what Sony offered, at the expense of having to delete a lot of the preinstalled stuff I didn't want with ADB.My previous phone was a four year old Xperia 5ii.
>>101552691Best tool for partial android backup without cloud bullshit? I just want to move 3-4 apps data alongside the apk into the new phone. Is ADB backup still viable?
>>101562780>toughnessSince that seems to be your only issue with seggsperias, does that mean most of what >>101562718 said were valid?
>>101562780Well, that's my experience, over the past 7 years I've had 3 Xperia phones, never used a case and they have been through a lot. I've had them around while doing construction, renovation, in extreme weather conditions. Rain, snow, dirt, dust, sand, you name it, this phone handled it. They have been through a few falls too. My Xperia 10 III did fail though, it fell face first onto concrete from about one meter, the screen cracked in like six different places. After that some strange issue with the camera auto focus appeared, it would keep getting into and out of focus once every second, which made taking pictures or video very annoying.
>>101562977Yes they are nice, software is lacking a bit>>101563090My 1ii had the most dents and scratches out of every phone I've owned. The fingerprint reader also has died twice.
>>101562012>I am a maleNot at that height you're not
Am I the only one who thinks bottom looks better?
>>101563404All they had to do was slope the top and bottom of the visor. Instead they went for this retarded pill shit

Graphene sisters, why did you tell me that bank apps don't work on GOS. Scotiabank's app works just fine...
>>101562387Don't worry about custom roms with it
Why won’t manufacturers just make a full display phone without any notch, tear drop, or punch hole front facing camera? OnePlus 7T Pro, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, LG Wing, ZTE Atom 20 were all perfect designs, hiding the camera either underneath the display, using a motorised pop-up, or a slider.Honestly feel the smartphone industry has regressed in this aspect.
>>101567842it is real, you can only limit mobile data and only when it's in the background. If you want to just plainly deny it from ever connecting with mobile data, you can't. And if you wanted any sort of wifi limit then you get nothing.

>>101570740Like 70% of the people I know get headaches and eye strain from them me included. It’s been that way since the fucking galaxy s3. Meanwhile the iPhone 11 had a perfect lcd screen that got bright and dim as hell with perfect blacks.
>>101570714For me I'm waiting 14T, it's basically X6 Pro but with much better camera.>>101570654This nigga sounds like average GSMArena commenter.
>>101570292do they actually have somewhere to send feedback to them? maybe if enough autists bitch about it they'll add it
this might be a stupid questionif I go from a Galaxy A52 to a Pixel 8a will my Galaxy Buds sound the same or worse?what if I switch to iPhone, will I need new buds?i thought it's all BT but my buddy said it's not and Samsung uses special Samsung shit and Apple uses special Apple shit
>>101570831It's a very stupid question. I don't know the answer though.
>>101570784could it be because of PWM dimming? try a phone with high PWM display and see if it improves
>>101566587>>no internet speed meterDownload an app.>>can't outright block apps from having internet accessYes you can, it's called putting them in deep sleep.
>>101570887I downloaded an app and it autosuspended after a few minutes, it's not an equivalent solution to a builtin option where you dont have to care about ads and can expect it to be reliably drawn on the notification bar and not worry about it being killed by the system>Yes you can, it's called putting them in deep sleep.wow! next you're gonna tell me you can uninstall apps to prevent them from using the internet!
>>101570831It will sound exactly the same. I would also recommend Wavelet for auto-EQ.
>>101570831>using wireless headphones >with an A52You might be downright retarded.
>>101570831samsung wants to be the apple of android so they have proprietary bluetooth codecs, but it also supports the basic shit like sbc and aac so you can use it on other devices.I dont know if their proprietary codec will sound better but itll likely have less latency because. Next time buy something that also supports ldac or aptx so you don't get cucked into a walled garden
>>101563281Says you, coomer
>>101570762I don't play anything like that, the most advanced shit I do is using Termux, other than that is just Instagram, Tiktok and Google Maps like everybody else, I don't even take photos that much. I'm currently leaning more towards the X6 Pro than the F6 because of storage, I don't stream shit and I sync my music library from my computer that is currently at 35 GB and I frequently ran out of storage on my MiA2, but I'm worried about the quality of the SoC, I've never used a MediaTek ever and back in the day I read that they tend to run hot, that's why I'm considering the F6 knowing that Qualcomm's are more stable and better supported.>>101570793The problem is I need a phone ASAP, I lost my old one and I'm currently using an old 4.4 Xperia for calls and msg.
>>101570714if your country's usual temperature is less than 25c pick x6 pro, it's a gamble if you get a heating unit and in india those phones malfunction a lot
>>101570875The only phones that have high pwm is chinkshit
>>101571183only chinks care about their users
What's a /spg/ approved browser? always used Bromite but it's been abandoned for 2+ years now.Preferably lightweight, stable and foss.
>>101569588As I understand, Anon, you like the anamorphic look. If you really like this kind of style, you can buy a separate anamorphic lens for your phone to get a much better picture and effect
>>101571749>used Bromite but it's been abandoned for 2+ yearshttps://github.com/uazo/cromite
>>101570831it should exactly the same, however I would just consider the A55 instead
>>101570831the amp and dac is inside your buds so it should sounds the same unless the phone is tampering with dsp like dolby and shit but it's probably turned off by default
>>101552691what do you guys think about the pixel series? I was looking for a phone with great manual camera specs, but my budget is kinda limited
>>101571890much appreciated!
>>101572120>with great manual camera specsPlease elaborate what exactly you mean by this
>buy S23 Ultra>camera is hideous>download gcam port>camera is goodWhy is Samsung like this?
>>101572511>camera is hideouswhat don't you like about it?
>>101572517I tried taking a picture of a pond the other day. The foreground was blurry and smeared like an oil painting. The background was extremely oversharpened, like someone had drawn in the reeds and tree leaves afterwards. The sky was overblown and the trees were too dark.I think its a Samsung app thing because I downloaded Gcam and the Motioncam demo and it takes veey good photos with those.
only buy Xperias
I just switched my phone from AT&T prepaid to Red Pocket MVNO. Text and data work fine but can't send or receive calls. I asked Red Pocket support and they gave me a bunch of APN settings to change but none of it worked. Anyone else had this issue?
>>101571024dont mind what the other guy said about temperature if you dont play games that ask a lotthe x6 pro can run genshin comfortably which is usually the reference game, ofc it will heat up later.Check how expensive a samsung a54 is, maybe an s22 fe or something. for what i read from you i assume you buy one phone for a million years and then forget about it In that case it depends on your country, but if you can get off aliexpress there are s22 ultras for 400$ lol i got one from there.consider a top end phone from a previous year in your budget and run those, usually much better optimized and the quality shows
>>101563948why I switched to an iphone, samsung wants to be apple so badly that I just went and bought a real one
Gen z boss and a miniSorry, I'm juste waiting for my galaxy fold 6 haha
>>101573174How do you pirate Spotify and all your apps tho
>>101573212I got a six month free trial on apple music with it
Zamn the iPhone kinda nice now… only took 18 years
>>101572663No thanks, I have taste.
Other than the S24 Ultra and Xperia spammers this must be the least unhinged thread on /g/
>>101572602samshit camera always does over processing users told samshit over and over to tone it down but instead they double down every other gen
What’s it going to take to get USA and google to unban Huawei? They are android’s last hope
>>101573174>downgraded from android to ios because the devices look the sameLol look at this retard
>>101571890How to stop this from opening third party apps? It doesn't seem to have that option similar to Brave Browser.
Never getting an iPhone desu.
>>101574015>downgradeLook and laugh at the retard I’m quoting
>>101574085>still can't download and install any app he wants from the internetlol
>>101573419>>101573736>>101573514you have a shitty xr
im often in a scenario where im out in the boonies and i have a great signal for placing/receiving calls, but no data signalis there any smartphone or app that would allow for a dialup internet connection? even if i had to set up my own 'isp' base station?i remember there were cellphones in the 00s that could use dialup for their browsers. it was retardedly expensive back then since most people paid for cell service by the minute, but a nice option for getting emails in a pinch
>>101552791they realised most people are retarded niggers (something apple did before them) so now they just get apple to do the designs for them and just release the android version
>>101574015I would rather buy apple than knock off korean apple
>>101553342thats the moto shotgun approach, just release a million models and hope a few are hits
>>101556120wait for xperia 5 VI. should be released in the next few months
>>101563404both look like shit
>>101568523its so stupid that they're still puttin selfie cameras in FOLDABLE PHONES with huge front screens, just use that for chatting/selfies and keep the main screen clean
>>101568523You will buy a nubia z60 ultra and you will like it. They just released a new version with slightly updated chip and OS with AI integrated
So should I pretty much forget about trying to use a Xiaomi phone in the US? On red pocket (AT&T). I'm assuming I'll run into problems getting it "certified" or whatever, or otherwise signal problems.I just need something rootable & it seems like everything for the US is samshit with locked-down bootloaders
>>101574175you have a shitty s10e
I have an s22 ultra and kinda bored of it now. How many would recommend getting a brand new iphone? The one thing i like about them is how quality the steel ones feel.
>>101574744try to find entertainment in something else, a new phone wont cure it and even if it will, it will be in an unhealthy way. your phone is perfectly fine. maybe pick up another hobby? a retro handheld maybe? idk
>>101575018tb h, i rarely use my phone. unless its work related, using maps to find and direct me somewhere. misc features like alarm. I just want something new.
>>101567973I just went there this evening and the guy at the mobile stand said they do sell em without contracts. They even have cheaper phones you can buy in the computer section
>>101575044> I just want something new.Nta but I can see that you will never be happy with anything. Maybe try to divert your attention elsewhere like what the other anon said.
>>101571183Yeah honor phones are highest I believe
>>101575044yeah thats why i suggested looking for another hobby where you can buy a shiny new gadget. your phone is fine
>>101575173Lifting is fun. I guess i just want an iphone cause ive never used that OS and i want something different
>>101575244then get an iphone or maybe a flip phone for the noverly since they somewhat matured, z flip 6 and razr 50 actually look decent
>>101575312actually you brought it up but i was interested in this a while back for reading manga. Do those zflips have a nice resolution for this now? Also how badly does that crease fuck up?
>>101575322oh disregard the zflip, i was thinking of the other model that is a mini tablet when expanded, dont remember the name
>>101575337yeah thought so, i was gonna say the flip isnt any better for reading manga than a regular phone, you're thinking about the fold, which imo is kinda unwieldy for a phone, rather just get a tablet at that point
>>101575345what is the point of the zflip anyway? does that mini screen serve any purpose or is it just a pure gimmick?
>>101567161>last making phone with sdwhat about motorola?>12gb for phone not a lotwat? That's a ton what are you trying to run?
>>101575369mostly novelty factor and easier to fit in pockets and im guessing just plain old fun, the front screen gives you access to minimal stuff so you wont have to open the phone for texts, clock, weather etc
>>101575244you have a shitty xr
>>101563948>>101574338As someone who had iPhone 15 Pro, S23 and now S24 Ultra there is literally nothing similar between them. Fucking braindead morons who don't understand technology steering up a shitstorm as usual over nothing. Go outside fucking losers
i got a kindle ereader for free from like 2015is there anything useful to do with it? it has wifi i think. trying to get the battery to charge atm but I'm finding basically nothing online. Does it even have a web browser or anything
>>101575384I said high endAlso when I said "it's not so much RAM" I meant "It's not the RAM that I'm interested in"
I can't stop thinking like a consoomer. This is not bait I swear, I just for some reason keep obsessing over the idea of getting a new/different phone even though the S23U is perfectly fine. I don't even use the S23U to it's fullest extent , I don't watch media on it or play games on it, I listen to music occasionally and use discord and whatnot. But I keep looking at other phones like the Red Magic or the OnePlus12 that are *just* different enough from Samsung that I'm tempted to try it, even though it'd be a literal waste of money. How do I stop thinking like this?
>>101576115If you're going to do that just go all the way and get a foldable t. I also have an s23u
>>101576135The Fold 6 is too expensive, even with a trade in, and I'd be too paranoid about it breaking in half or being weaker in the center
Fuck bois am I happy to be away from OneUI. I had my screen protector on my Z Flip5 come up and had to get it replaced under warranty. The whole situation soured me on foldables as I fucking hate screen protectors and it already pissed me off that I had to have one. Currently using a Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS. I like stock Android much better and I don't have to deal with a crease any more. Main downside is it feels much more hefty in the pocket. Looking forward to Pixel 10 with a better SoC.
>>101575968how about using it... to read books
Meizu 21 for 530 eur, yay or nay? I'm very tempted.
>>101576253Seems ok, but the promo shots are total bs, lole
>>101556071Which app is this? I still use clover but never phone post so the captcha change never really bothered me
Hey /g/, looking for a new smartphone and was thinking of getting a Samsung s9+ or Note 9, is this a good choice or should I get something else? My budget is around 150 USD
What makes the OnePlus 12 worth the extra money over the 12R? The 12R looks nice enough for my needs, the only thing I can see is the gen 3 chip and the telescopic camera but I can live without those
>>101553342They are taking the Lenovo approach, no sense and complete retardation.It's very sad, I wish they'd refresh the thinkphone with actual flagship specs and a side mounted fingerprint reader instead of that stupid underscreen one.Why the fuck do they not release every phone at every capacity?Like the US version of the edge is the midrange version with a nerfed storage. I can't buy a flagship from them, they won't let me.Fuck
>>101576115I'm in a similar state. I have an s21u but really want to jump to an s24u for no good reason. I'll use it for the exact same shit I use it for now. I just haven't bought a new phone in years and feel like upgrading just for the hell of it. So i'm even worse than you since you want to go to a new brand altogether
>>101576443At least you have more of a reason to than I do, you're 3 generations behind, I'm one and a half if we're counting the Fold/Flips as a half a generation. Come early next year it'll be 2 which is a little better but I can't imagine anything the S25U is gonna have that'll make me want to upgrade.I think I'm gonna settle for a 12R, it's inexpensive and I can keep my S23U and return it if I end up not liking it.
>>101575384>>last making phone with sd>what about motorola?They've stopped too except in the poor tier stuff
>>101576398looks like kurobaex>>101576427I think the real worry with phones that old is battery health
>>101576427Surely you could get something newer for $150. If you're willing to spend $50 you can find something solid from the past year.
>>101576500eh true but the issue is that it wouldn't have the same performance etc and where I live, it kinda sucks for the phone market so these are the only solid options I found so far>>101576496what are the odds of me finding a phone with a battery with bad health?
>>101576519every time you charge a battery, its health goes down. It's been 6 years since it came out so you do the math. Unless you find a phone that was charged once a month, odds are the battery health will be far from perfect.
>>101576541well I just need a phone that I can go with for another year and after that I will just get some new flagship phone, I broke my current phone in an accident and medical bills weren't any forgiving either. Got any other suggestions?
>>101576519S21 or S22 should be around that price by now. If it's the headphone jack you're after then you can probably get an A52s.
>>101576460For some reason I can't bring myself to checkout, I feel like I would be wasting $500 and I 100% would, I want to and I don't want to at the exact same time
>>101576657Don't do it. Stop watching tech videos and stop browsing /spg/.
>>101576115every time I get thoughts about impulse buying something I take a step back and think about it for a few days. I ask myself if I really need it, if I buy it will I still be able to pay my bills? does it go on sale often? if so maybe its better to wait so I can take advantages of any discounts. stuff like that.
>>101576208It's kinda small for that. If I was interested in that I would buy one.Maybe it would be useful for manuals or schematics
>>101576619my nigger you're not finding an s21 or s22 in decent shape for 200
So funny the only phone that I’ve had that survived past 4 years before the motherboard blows itself up is the one I can pop open the back and do whatever I want to my galaxy skyrocket
>>101575968I think it might be useful if you ever feel like pirating ebooks from amazon. Besides that I can't come up with anything.
>>101552691I'm looking for a tablet with at least 12 inch display to perform my programming job.Hardware-wise I like Samsung Tab S9 Ultra's specs, but I'd like to install some Linux distribution on it and a Python development environment; and I found out it's impossible to unlock root access on such tablet.Which tablets would do the trick?
>>101577024Surface Pro 7 (or 8 if you want 120Hz). Don't fall for the ARM tablet meme.
what are some good gallery and file manager apps?
>>101577205X-plore filemanager. Unironically, Samsung Gallery, as it resembles the old AOSP gallery.
>>101576115I bought a one plus 12 for my mom. You wouldn't even see a noticeable upgrade from your s23u. If it helps, I bought a s24u when it came out, which I returned because the screen looked like shit. I kept searching for an unlock s23u, but they were always above $1k+, never on a deal. I settled for a fold6, buts it feels too small and too big, the ultra are the sweet spot.
>>101576090>>101576461gook phone it is igpoor tier motorola still pretty comfy tho ngl
>>101577330they really are. xperia 10 vi is pretty comfy too, worth the price, 10 v was shit
