>>101979837>45 degreesyikes>>101979631god damn in so happy with my NEW $400 CAD pixel 7a. Thanks best buy
>>101979837who cares
>>101979837is the SD8GEN3 having overheating issues or something? What's causing this?
ENTER
>>101980096It's GOS which thottles the phone. Can be disabled via ADB.

Are MediaTek chips that bad if I don't care about custom ROMs? I mentioned in the last thread how I was considering getting a Galaxy A15 5G (D6100+) to replace my Pixel, but something about their brand name just kinda turns me away. I remember seeing on Android forums how their chips were terrible back in the day, and I'm curious if that's changed. At the very least, do they keep cool? My Tensor G1 6a gets hot to the touch easily.
>buy S24 ultra>don't put a screen protector on it bro it ruins the epic futuristic anti glare and it has giga mega gorilla glass that barely gets marked at moh 7>4 days later>it's scratched to shit by pocket lint
>>101979631Smartphones ruined the fucking world, we should’ve stayed on feature phones.
>>10198016890% of my daily experience is me being on my smartphone
>>101980253Same man, I failed at life
>>101980179Don't know about MediaTek but Tensor is just a rebranded Exynos which has been known to be an overheating piece of garbage since forever
>>101980253Don't you have a PC? I used to be on my phone all day, but ever since I started using my desktop for more and more things I've started feeling happier for some reason. The way I can just walk away and be done with the computer for a bit is really cool.
>>101980309>The way I can just walk away and be done with the computer for a bit is really cool.Maybe if you're a zoomer that's new to you, but for me that was my life 1993-2013. Today I'm an ascended chad, phone always in one hand, non stop phooning from bed to kitchen to the shitter and back
>>101980199Literally 0 scratches. I have mine since launch day.
>>101980370Happy for you. Still happened to me.
fuck oneplus their qc is horriblethe shitty power button on my 10T broke what do?
>buy chinktoy>surprised by chink qualitythis has been, is, and will always be the hallmark of the /spg/ mindset.
>>101980889surprised in positive or negative way?
>>101979631Please end the camera bump menace
>>101980386Have you considered not putting your keys and phone in the same pocket?

>>101980923>>101981120Please end the camera menace
>>101980658after repeatedly clicking on the power button it somehow works again. i'm guessing the traces on the button flex cable got worn out and it's making contact again.>>101980889hey fuck you i had an iphone and the os probably crashed more than a dodgy aosp port from uttar pradesh.i'm thinking about getting a snoy phone now.

Does anyone else with an iPhone 14/15 Pro absolutely detest the minimum camera focal distance? I don't feel like I can get anything in focus unless it's feet away, or unless I use halide and force the low-res fucking ultra wide to do it. I hate it, does the pixel or some other phone get rid of this, or is this just a product of every camera now needing to zoom far as fuck, so fuck anything in the 12-18in range?
>>101980950NTA but keys shouldn't have any effect on that glass. Pocket dust or grit is way more abrasive than the dull, soft metal that makes up most keys.
>>101981330You're having issues focusing on objects 30 CM away? Is this an iPhone thing? My S23U usually needs 5-10 CM before the Ultrawide kicks in for the Macro mode
>>101981484Is your pocket lint not just cotton lint? I honestly don't understand what you could have in your pocket that could be so hard that it could scratch glass I've been carrying my phone in my front pocket with no case and no screen protector for years at this point, I had to shine a light on it but there's still zero scratches on the screen Maybe it's because I face the screen in towards my leg idk
>>101981681Pocket sand.

So why exactly did google move the launch of the pixel up? Are they that scared of Apple?
>>101982128from a marketing perspective you'd have to be retarded to not be terrified of apple when you're trying to directly compete with themas far as the answer to that question, if anyone knows for sure, they haven't yapped about it on the internet. we only have speculation so far
>>101982160all of this feels like it was a last minute decision>Only the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 ship on the 22nd >Pixel Fold 2 and Pixel 9 Pro ship in september >Android 15 still isnt out
Is the Honor magic 6 pro worth considering over the S24 Ultra?They're around the same price in my country, with the honor having twice the memory at that price.
>>101982188the only thing I think we know for sure is that the TSMC chip just wasn't ready for primetime, so they went for their backup plan of a juiced up G3 with the added benefit of "beating apple to the punch"that said i wouldn't be surprised if the 9 and the 10 look exactly the same with different internals, like we saw with the iPhone 14 and 15.
>>101982236I do wonder what the pixel 10 is gonna look like with that TSMC chip, will they still use an external modem from Samsung or go with Qualcomm?
>>101979631Android = no pussy
Wait so pixel 9 has same camera, only different on secondary sensors (irrelevant) almost same processor same battery same everything.but it has a screenshots app?thats so
>>101982379Perfect sign me up.

I don't get the point of wireless charging. Someone explain to me why i am wrong. Its inefficient and finicky, why not just use pogo pins ? They're more efficient and can also be used for data.

>>101982482it only makes sense on tiny smart devices like smartwatches and that Samsung smart ring where incorporating a USB port into their hardware is either impossible or clunky af
>>101979631I have been able to get my hands on the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL series at Best Buy twice now, and they feel really nice. The Pixel 8 feels like a toy compared to these. They were incredibly snappy too. Tempted.

>>101980341Doesn't Sound healthyI've been doing that same shit but with tablets until I got hit with a virus on rootAfter that I started using mobile shit as little as possibleAlso it sucks that were forced to use crap that come with microphone and cameras that can't be turned off

>>101981681>>101980950Keys don't scratch glass, you fucking idiot. But good job repeating 20 year old boomer memes from the days of plastic screen mobile phones.Also, if you don't live in a city and strictly commute between your cuckpartment and the office only, it's very easy to get a random microscopic speck of dirt on your finger or in your pocket and that's all you need for microscratches. Which is what happened to me.
Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro or Redmi Turbo 3? both chink shit from the same company idc I just want best value if all Im gonna do is play games on it (emulation and genshin)
>>101987624which virus?
>>101988143best value depends on price. price depends where you are which we don't know.
>>101988446both 12/256 variants, converted to USD:Poco X6 Pro: 355$Redmi Turbo 3: 285$
>>101980199it doesn't come with a screen protector pre installed?.. what else? does it not have a case or a charger too?>>101988838no, just no. get the 8gb x6 pro for 250 on ali.you really don't need 12gb ram. on 8 you can run huge games and watch streams at the same time.
>>101988143Redmi Turbo 3 is the china version of Poco F6. Don't you have the latter, which has global rom, in your place?
>>101979631How do I get rid of my tech addiction? I have a pixel 8 and an iPhone 15 pro, and since Im gay I keep going back to the iPhone. Now this fucker pixel 9 pro comes along and I feel this intense urge to fill the emptiness inside with more useless technology. Can someone help me?!
>>101988927the 8gb variant for the turbo 3 is also 250$, is there a reason the X6 Pro is better?>>101989015we do have it here but its priced around 350$ for some reason for the 8gb variant
>>101988927>it doesn't come with a screen protector pre installed?.. what else? does it not have a case or a charger too?Not sure if you are being sarcastic but it came with none of those things, just a USB cable
>>101987716Even a cursory Google search provides dozens of recent forum posts of people bitching about scratching their phone's screen with their keys in their pocketBut do go on about how you managed to scratch your phone screen like a fucking ape, I always wondered who phone cases and screen protectors were for, I guess that's you
I've had my S8 in my pocket with my keys for 7 years and there's not a single scratch on it. No screen protector. Do modern phones have softer screens?
>>101989219Does your dumb monkey nigger brain not comprehend physics? A softer material won't ever scratch a harder material. In any case I did not have keys or anything else in my pocket, but I was out hiking because I'm not an autistic shut-in so I can only assume that some tiny speck of dirt with a moh hardness of 7 or 8 got on my finger, because the scratch is along the path where my finger scrolls.Now at least I've learned that I shouldn't trust office drones and hikokomoris about their claims on scratch resistance.
>>101985310huawei phones have really unique designs so having them back with android again would be really nice
>>101979631Why is google so fucking incompetent when it comes to design both with hardware and software? This looks worse than the doodles of a high schooler.
>>101989302Ironic considering you can't understand simple concepts like impact vs impulse, deformation, and geometryWhy don't you go home and rub the hard edge of your biggest kitchen knife against something nice and soft like a 3 moh nylon cutting board, and then come and tell me about how the 5 moh knife won because it has the bigger number on the scaleRetardOnce you're done with that, take that nice dull knife and end your worthless life
>>101983222Gayservative followers are the most retarded people on this earth at this point
>>101989278Newer Gorilla Glass models are more shatter resistant, but less scratch resistant. Big Glass assumes the average coonsoomer would rather have a scratched up phone than a cracked phone.

>>101990433It's a new technology, it'll get better over time
>>101980224You can look at anything in the past and say it shouldn't have happened. Smartphones were an inevitability.
>>101984462It's the stock version, you're meant to build on top of it
>>101990729Companies still make some feature phones, if you don't want a smartphone just don't buy one
>>101989800don't use the trade-ins but sell your pixel 8 privately.for trade-in, buy an iPhone 8 for ~60€ and get 262€ from google.
I wanna buy a new phone and I'm looking at the Poco X6 and X6 Pro. The Pro's chip seems to give a quadrillion more points in Antutu, but I don't know how relevant this actually is for daily usage. I don't care about mobile games or emulation, I use the phone for messaging, maps, youtube, etc. Is the Pro model worth the extra ~40 bucks or will I never notice the difference in terms of performance?
>Only non-pozzed, LTS Android is GrapheneOS>Pixel-onlyHow bad is Tensor really going to be if I'm just doing web browsing and other basic tasks? I've heard early reports that the G4 is still subject to the same inefficient bullshit as before.

>>101990986Coming from a pixel 6 it addresses a bunch of the pain points (fingerprint scanner, front facing camera, and modem namely) while overall being a nice hardware upgrade. I didn't get the pro model of the 6 so I'm looking forward to the macro/telephoto functionality too. tensor g1 handled my day to day just fine otherwise. writing off the pixel theme and features is pure cope. they're cozy and useful.
Is there any point in having 24gb of ram on a phone, what apps could even utilise it
How do you cope with your $1000+ phone becoming outdated and forgotten within a year? It sucks buying the latest Itoy or Scamsung and being left in the dust when the new models launch.

>>101991851The phone has effectively only cost me $700 in this scenario, the old phone is functionally useless to me once my sim and data has been moved over
not sure how people in /spg/ manage to be cattier than gays while presumably only being gay in spirit
>>101991758I get unlimited 5G data, calls, including international calls made to and from any European country for $2.5 (but it's a family plan), I also have the same deal on a prepaid sim where it costs me $5 but I can choose not to pay for like 5 months in a row if I don't use it. I got it cause anonymous sim card duhh, tho I kinda doxed my location right now since you can count the European countries where you can buy sims without ID by hand. I got almost perfect coverage unless i go deep inside a forest when I'm hiking, but if I go climb the mountain I get signal on top of it even if I'm tens of km away from the closest village, primarily because there are a lot of weather stations and they have 2/4G antennas on them so you receive it in a straight line if you aren't in the shade.
>>101991875no, nigger, it costed $700 plus however much you paid for your old phone
>>101991875lolholy shitHow would you feel if you didn't have breakfast today though?
>>101991918Salty euros
>>101991758500 minutes of calls, you can get unlimited calls and texts here for like $5 a month, every contract is unlimited calls you're just paying for data usage

This thread is full of fags
>>101992123> This thread is full of fagsI can't find any.
Buying a new phone every year is the best value proposition. Think about it logically.You can sell, trade in, whatever, a year old phone at 50% of its value.Let's look at it over a decade. Assuming you enter the decade with no phone to trade in for your first purchase.So if a new phone costs $1400 and you trade in the old one for $700, you will spend $770 per year over the decade. And you will have a brand new phone all the time which is nice.However, if you buy a new phone every 3rd year only, your resale value plummets to maybe $300. You will buy 4 phones over the decade (in years 0, 3, 6, and 9) and you will in the end spend $470 per year.$470 vs $770 isn't a huge saving and you will spend 2/3rd of the time using an outdated phone. QED.
>>101992007> 500 minutes of calls, you can get unlimited callsI never asked for more.Don't make many calls.> you're just paying for data usageThis.
>>101992501kek at this absolute niggerbrain
>>101991925> 5G dataNever understood this thing. You either have unlimited data or you don't have it. You can't control exactly which connection your phone has at the moment.
>>101991801I can fix her~ UwU
>>101992524Saving $3000 over a decade is nothing in a first world country. I will put $15k per year in my savings account anyway. Putting in $15.3k per year instead is just not worth the sacrifice.
>>101987015i have one. it's alright. dont use bank apps on it.
>>101992558It just means you have access to 5G data. In shithole countries like the USA you only get access to 4G unless your plan specifically states you are paying for "5G data".
>>101992558Some carriers are jewish enogh that they will charge you extra if you want to use data over the current-G.
is the oneplus ace 3 pro coming to North America? my Mi 9 died and I need a replacement phone.
>>101987015>>101992611almost certain at this point unijew has paid shills in this thread
>>101992501>a year old phone at 50% of its valuewhere? the carriers? KEK no, and that phone will be on contract if you can trade it in which nulls your strategies value proposition. >okay but I can sell it on a community market yeah sure, have fun dealing with 7 million Indians asking for a 75% discount in your inbox and every other flavor of retard under the sun. What a waste of fucking time and a compromise of privacy/security. you're far better off just getting the best spec:price phone of the time and waiting until it's software EoL. That gives you something like 3 years per [insert regional cost of higher end phone]. >muh battery Assuming that we're talking about Android: don't use dogshit apps, freeze and firewall processes you don't want active, congratulations you just gained extra battery. As for Apple their batteries will -ack within a year and a half regardless.
7 years of software support for pixel 9 btw
Is Moto G still the best poorfag phone? I'm rocking a Moto G5+.
>>101993009Same with Pixel 8. Same with S24.
>>101993049Good
>>101992994There are businesses that will buy a year old phone at 50% value from you, and then flip it for 65% of the original value. No hassle involved at all. Just take the phone in in person and get cash.
>>101993009>implying the phone won't break half-way into that
>>101993009>sorry anon your phone is just too old for android 20 so it will be limited to texting and browsing on that operating system version :) also you cannot downgrade, have fun!
>>101993179>source: my lack of haloperidol
>>101993009> 7 years of software support for pixel 9 btwLet's talk about it.Most pixel owners take the 128 (basic) version. Just because.Now imagine that you took the basic version of the pixel phone 7 years ago, pixel 2 4/64. Do you think updates would help it?
>>101992655> Some carriers are jewish enogh that they will charge you extra if you want to use data over the current-G.I did not even imagine that this was possible, in Russia the carrier would simply be destroyed by the Russian authorities for such a thing, lol.
>>101993234I can't help people who make bad decisions anon.
>>101992655Only carrier I can think of that does this is Verizon, and that's only with C-band and mmWave
>>101993198>>101993179this has already happened with Nokia smartphones on very low-end hardware with 3 years of support. However, they offered to upgrade or not to do so, there was a choice. Google won't do that.
>>101980199Imagine a sapphire glass screen
>>101993264> I can't help people who make bad decisions anon.Yes, I'm just talking about buying pixel smartphones
>>101993277Artificial sapphires of this size are made by only one company in Russia, so I don't think it's possible.
>>101991322Bigger number gooder
are there any "good" as in good camera and good performance phones with a jack? i swear no flagship has one anymore
>>101991622> Future proofing??I think problem would be in processors
>>101993275>this already happened with a third rate manufacturer selling people ewaste smuganime.jpgok
>>101993277>>101993319HTC had a phone with sapphire screen.
>>101993362Jack's are dead, the only phones that still have them are poorfag options, you just have to accept it anon, it's over.
>>101993362> with a jack>>101993198> lack of haloperidol
>>101993422> HTC had a phone with sapphire screen.It wasn't.Also it was unique version.
>>101991622By the time we get to the point where 24gb of ram is required everything else in the phone will be painfully out of date
>>101993431unfortunate>>101993432fuck you
>>101993452Then what was it?
Got a flip6 with a trade in and storage upgrade, didnt get one of the bad qa ones. I like the form factor but I wish it was a little wider. It's very comfortable to carry around, and cutting off distractions by just closing the device works surprisingly well. I've really enjoyed being able to have place it anywhere and not needing to prop it up to see the video, the problem of course is that because of the aspect ratio is stupid tall, video is pretty squished. Cover screen is surprisingly enjoyable to use, but needs to be larger. It doesn't feel compromised as a standard phone except the lack of optical zoom, it's just too expensive for what is basically a 700ish dollar phone that folds in half. >must improveNeeds optical zoom, enlarged cover screen, a wider, less tall aspect ratio, revamped cover screen software >would like to haveS-pen support, a larger battery, thinner interior bezels, hidden camera for the interior screen front facing camera because you're probably using the exterior cameras anyways and for the volume/power button to be lowered or possibly split on either side of the device and lowered.Also the carbon fiber looks dumb but feels amazing, and it makes the phone less slippery.
>>101982379
>have to wait a year and a half for the pixel 10 now>it might still be shit
>>101986439plain looking mous ultrathin, not sure if I'm gonna like it though>>101990926tracking updated crisis averted
>>101979631When will Google find their balls and go against what Apple is currently dictating as the "modern" smartphone shape? (rounded or sharp edges)They've always followed whatever the current iphone is doing
>>101994127>ui beeaaam!
>Fold 4 1.5 years and counting >hinge still perfect >internal screen perfect>ran bareback for 99% of the time (the trash case broke. Only pen survived)>Dropped twice, once off the flight of stairs>survived with a scratch on the front screen.>New costs less than s24+Why you haven't moved to good shit yet? Foldables are not a meme anymore.
>>101994316>oleophobic coating gone on the internal screen>good luck replacing that protector
>>101993991That's a man.
>>101994256why? it's a good shape.
>>101994600My point is that they always follow what iphone is currently doing. It changes between rounded and sharp every few years, and Google is always synced with Apples
>>101994670It just werks
>>101994600After buying an S24 Ultra the rounded edges look just so stupid and outdated
>>101993413You're an idiot. The point is that Nokia just had problems of the kind that the smartphone's performance was not enough by the end of support. These seven-year phones, especially the Pixel 9, can suffer from the same problems.
>>101994127What makes you buy Google products? Just buy the OnePlus 12/13.
>>101992762> oneplus ace This is an exclusively mainland China series. Like K series redmi.In Russia, some madmen buy them, lol.It have some problems with 4G frequencies, but I think you have more problems in the USA because the phone is not on the white list of phones that most carriers have.The regular Ace 3 is a 12R on the global market. Ace 3 pro doesn't seem to be globally released at all.
time to buy new phone after almost 5 years.Oneplus 7T has died (last great OnePlus phone)Was interested in pixel phone (7 or 8) but seems like pretty bad deal based on SOC alone. I'd love to have great camera. For me, Speed isn't a concern but efficiency is.Starting to consider Nothing phone 2. how is it, guys? any other alternative? I don't like Samsung, btw.
>>101994797> After buying an S24 Ultra the rounded edges look just so stupid and outdatedBy the way, the dominance of rounded displays in the middle price segment is already beginning, lol. About the same as it was with "cheap compacts" not so long ago.Factories sell equipment on the cheap.
>>101995146> Starting to consider Nothing phone 2I think it's going to be a downgrade because of the hardware and bad cameras, lol.
>MUUUUH 7 YEARS!!111Basically its the cargo cult of Apple.Apple has been doing 7 years of support because they have already clearly formed a cycle of selling phones several times through an authorized network.1. The phone is sold in Europe/USA on release.2. The phone is resold in a year as "used/refub", in the USA or eastern Europe.3. After another 2-4 years, the phone sold for pennies in a semi-official way somewhere in the third world, where owning an APPLE is an INVESTMENT.All this is possible due to the control of the distribution of phones by Apple and making a profit mainly from the sale of applications. Therefore, Apple phones are not getting more expensive as much as androids. Do you remember how a typical android flagship cost 500 bucks in 2015 and an iPhone 799? Well, the iPhone costs 900, and the android flagship costs 1200.
>>101995101that's a bummer. there's no phones on the market currently that I like except the s24 ultra and I can't justify $CAD 1800 to buy it.
>>101995502I don't really understand what you need from ace 3 pro.If this is the first time you found out that smartphones are 2 times cheaper in China, then congratulations on this discovery. Cars are 2 times cheaper too.
>>101995599it doesn't have a curved screen like most phones nowaways.
>>101993654No one will make phones for autistic children like you.I can explain why phones like compacts or phones with a minijack are not being made and will not be made in the future, but you'll just start REEEEEEEEEIt's just not profitable, and you, personally YOU, are the reason for it.
>>101995616> it doesn't have a curved screen like most phones nowaways.Nubia Z60 ultra maybe?
>>101995281is it that bad?
Anyone with a Poco X3 NFC can recommend any custom roms? They're not updating it anymore for quite a while now, and mine's in perfect condition, the hardware is also still decent so it'd be nice to keep the software up to date.

>be me>have s24 Ultra>have no urge to even touch another phone
you can't root phones without unlocking bootloaders right? which will eventually fuck with google payis there any reason to not get an iphone if you're not going to root a phone these days?
I'm an idiot and the Galaxy A25 is available in the US after all. However, the only one I can find is a 6GB RAM variant. For $250, is that okay? My Pixel 6a has 6GB too but I'm sure OneUI is a lot heavier.Don't really play games, just web browsing and watching videos.
USB(-A) charging question:>have a bunch of 5V 2.4A chargers>one day decide to measure how fast they charge various Android phones (that should be able to take more than 2.4A)>none of them get close to 2.4A. Seems more like they aim to take 2A max, in practice ending up like 1.8-1.9A>measured at low percentagtes, so I'm definitely not confusing it with the natural slowdown that occurs when it approaches 80% fullIs 5V 2.4A some proprietary protocol that none of my phones have ever been compatible with? Is it some Apple shit? Some proprietary Samsung shit?
>>101989150I don't know anything about the turbo but compared to note 13 line Poco has the same specs for 50 less, other than the camera. >>101989160that's pretty grim. it's not like it's expensive... a screen protector costs cents and a case is sub dollar too, why not include it.
