>Pixel is shit>Samsung uses Exynos in Europe>iPhone is shitI have no idea what to buy once my phone stops getting updates.
all smartphone are gay and future smartphones will be even gayer with AI aids baked into the HW
>>101998085in 10 yrs smartphones will ask you to Please open verification can. except the can is full of aerosolized AIDS
>>101998071>Samsung uses Exynos in EuropeNot on Ultra.
Hmm that nubai z60 ultra does look nice and it's cheaper than a Sony or a Samsung ultra. I'll put it on my radar, prob buy it as a christmas gift to myself.Altho the newer version has an AI integrated processor? The fuck does that mean
>>101998019Get the RedMagic instead.Same phone, but larger user base, so better support overall. Cheaper too.
>>101998040> What phone have you got?S24Ultra.It's not that important, I have a lot of experience with Chinese smartphones. There is nothing worse than Xiaomi, the rest are good, but xiaomi is hell.MIUI deletes files by itself, has ads, and so on. It also have a stupid unlock policy with a wait of a month and a race at 4 a.m. with a million chinks (seriously, you need to go in and try to open the bootloader at the same time)
nice!
>>101992501I don't want a new phone every year. I want a phone I don't have to think about for as long as possible. I want to charge it overnight every night and slip it in my pocket every morning and have it be a constant in my life full of variables. I don't want to have to transfer files from one phone to another (especially now that microSD card slots are dead), I don't want to have to reconfigure applications that I have just the way I want them, and I certainly don't want to have to swipe the magic money card more often than I have to.I don't want to have to update anything either, but these OSes and applications are so riddled with bugs and backdoors that it's less optional.
>pooopsel
>>101998476Are you that anon from Canada? It's funny that westerners don't see anything except the pixel, Samsung and iPhone, and the chink brands with a billion-dollar advertising budget like Xiaomi.
>>101998508Pre-2019 devices did not have this problem. Xiaomi used to make an effort in an attempt to get OP fans to jump ship. that's the only time I have ever owned any of the xiaomeme devices. OnePplus before that and Nexus phone's prior. Now there's nowhere left to go except maybe Pixel. Then again why bother with Samsung-lite Pixel phones when Samsung exists. Shits fucked like everything else these days
>>101998716> Pre-2019 devices did not have this problemIts 2024 now
>>101998754Samsung is still shit and a dead end. Motorola is the only phone that I would consider today.
>>101998508>xiaomi is hellNo kidding. I unlocked a Xiaomi bootloader in 2014 and I'm STILL getting spam calls and texts in Chinese to this very day.
>>101998800Moto is dead end. A brand that lives on the life support of the US telecom operators.
Is rooting worth it in 2024?
>>101998816They just don't know. They see a good processor for a cheap price, and then they find out that there is no proximity sensor in the POCO series and the smartphone does not turn off the screen when talking.
>>101998847So long as based devs are willing to offer their time absolutely yes
>>101998847> Is rooting worth it in 2024?if you can explain why you need it.
>>101998071OnePlus12
>>101998662Nah that's another anon>>101998488I feel like that's too far into being a gaymen phone. I'm not playing anything that resource intensive so having all those extra features like touch sensitive side areas, a fan and having a gaming specific fork of the OS is unneeded.

Bought a Pixel 9 FoldMy 6 on release has had zero issues besides a shit battery now that weren't pajeet OTA updates being pushed.
>>101999775Fun fact, theres half of it missed on Russian Samsung firmware. Like no Netflix, Facebook or Spotify.The problem is you are retard. You can delete all of these (like Samsung calendar if you don't need it for some reason) even without adb.Second thing this apps are not problem at all.The problem are retarded kernel like MIUI has or random bugs that pixel has.
>>101999458> Hello> Is there any way to guarantee i get a good screen on the s24 plus or ultra?What are you talking about?
Is there any hope for weird phones? My 2 favorite phones in the last decade were the surface duo and blackberry key2. I honestly don't know if I'll ever like a phone again, the closest thing I've seen is the razr+ but I don't like the folding screen being even more fragile than the duo.
>>101999999wasted
>>101999999>razr+ but I don't like the folding screen being even more fragileFunny how the more things change the more they stay the same. I remember everyone at my school having one of these Razrs and invariably their front screen was always cracked
>>101999999No money

Does anybody know if Samsung phones automatically connect to old galaxy watches even if they've been reset? I gave an old galaxy watch to my nephew and he's been staying over recently and today I was watching something on my phone and I got a notification saying I can't connect to his galaxy watch, is that because my phone was randomly trying to connect to it or was it connected and he ended the connection, meaning he could see what I was watching till he ended the connection? As far as I can tell I can't even connect to it since it was asking me to pair with a code, but that could be because he unpaired it himself after my phone connected. I don't know if he's capable but it's got me a bit paranoid.
played with the p9 pro at best buy today. as long as the battery life isnt complete ass, i'm going to replace my OP11 with it. compact design, flat screen, and really good camera. unless /spg/ has anything else they can recommend.
>>102001809Just wait for the p10 nigger. Stop supporting exynos garbage
>>102001809/spg/ has a raging hateboner for pixels, you won't get an objective answer here
>>102001809Pixels have been absolute shit since the 5a. The correlation between an awful product from google and absence of a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone is literally 1:1. I just jumped ship and I couldn't be happier to be done with that obnoxious pile of shit I wasted 600 dollars on three years ago. Also pixel likes to put some sort of slip n slide shit on the backs of their phones so you either make an already bulky annoying phone even bulkier or you have something that will slide of literally any flat surface that doesn't have a rubber mat or a carpet on it.tl;dr fuck google and fuck their shit products. buy something from the chinks

>>102000293> How much of a trade in loss will Google give me when they see my charging port dongle is busted in my phone?Go ahead and ask them. In my country this would cost at least 40% of trade in deal. So deals with trade in aren't popular.>>102000896> So, what Tempered Glass Screen Protector should I buy for my Galaxy smartphone and why?NillkinBecause it's good with good coating.
>>102001903i would like to, but given i'm on my second op11 since the first just up and bricked itself 3 months after i got it, i'd rather jump ship earlier rather than after the warranty goes out>>102001915understandable>>102002195i will agree with that. i loved my pixel 5, and wish they had kept the same form factor and design for the current models. as for the size and material discussion, i use pretty minimalist cases, so i'm not too worried about the glass back and glossy sides (which is still gay regardless)if i wanted something with good camera and battery life, and not something as egregiously big as an s24ultra or something like that, what would /spg/ recommend? if sony hadn't bene a bunch of niggers and stopped selling the 5v here, this wouldnt even be a question.
>>102001332> But siri makes it 100x better than aby androidDo anyone using it? LoL.> The ios keyboard fucking sucks ballsIt doesn't have swipe like Gboard does.
>>102001187> Google yellow tint s24 or shit screen s24I guess it's redditors having problems or something.
>>102002351> give me the best price to performance ratio phoneMidrange gayming phones from Chinese brands, mainly Poco.They aren't good though.
>>102001809Get OnePlus 12, it's Way better.
>>102001187do Samsungs not have this? >>102002908they aren't good, they're great>>102002351Poco x6 or x6 pro
>>102002828since the pixel meets your wants on those things and the battery is the only unknown factor, consider waiting for testing to come out
>>102001915> /spg/ has a raging hateboner for pixels, you won't get an objective answer herePixels was never good. The only you consider any pixel phone is when you drinking liter of onions per day.
>>102002979didn't ask rajesh
What do you guys use your phone for? I can't seem to do anything with it besides use it for music or social media.
>>102003036> ReeeeDon't miss your onions dose
>>102003108social media/web browsing, music, phone/video calls, messaging/email, gps, YouTube, photos, occasional videos, occasional rounds of MTG arena. sometimes Amazon for quick purchases that don't need research, controlling my cleaning robot, money transfers, paying for stuff...
>>102003273i had no idea mtg arena was a thing. i just tried to learn yugioh but the meta is broken. im trying to get into mtg now
I'm surprised there's no way to color calibrate an Android (or iOS I guess but I'm a white straight male so it won't help me) phone with a hardware color calibrator. Is there some technological difficulty preventing this, or is it just a lack of demand. I don't even watch shit on my phone, but it just seems like something that should exist and I would take the few minutes to do it since I already own the color calibrator.
>>102003307Arena kinda runs like shit on everything so don't be shocked if your phone doesn't like it
>>102003354Phones are calibrated at factory
Got a razr24 for testing apps. Thinking about switching off my iShit, but the only thing I hate more than Apple spying on me is Google spying on me. Can these folding phones be rooted with a better OS, or is it just the Pixel line?

Lost my phone (it was a poco f6), I need a new one.Should I buy the same or go for a one plus nord 4? Or any model in about the same price range I should check maybe?
>>102002908whats wrong with it? most complaints I see are the shitty processes to unlock the bootloader but I doubt the average person needs to go through that
>>102004256What should I see? I never even heard about problems with QC on OnePlus 11. Pixel series on the other hand have major issues with quality.

Howcome there is so much hate for pixel? I recently switched from an iPhone 11 pro max to the pixel 8a. Immediately installed grapheneOS.My battery lasts 2 days with normal use, installed the pixel camera app through aurora store and it takes great photos. I never installed google play services framework either. I feel really satisfied with the phone. Admittedly I've been on iPhone since the S7, but am I missing out on enough with this phone compared to others to call it a bad phone?
>>102005487People hate Pixels because they cost the same amount of money as a Snapdragon flagship yet come with a dogshit dumpster fire Exynos SoC .

>>102001410can you use olauncher on the outside screen? I keep watching videos about razr+ but nowhere seems to check that

Whats the difference between the snapdragon s24 plus and the ultra. Why is there 0 reviews or benchmarks on the snapdragon plus
>>102004841I think if you asked most people, they're totally fine and generally have hardware that represents good value at their price point. The OS is functional but advertises to you which is fucking gay, as well as tends to be kind of weird.All that said, My latest experience is a note 8 pro, they might have gone to shit since then.
is the sony xperia 10 vi the best sub-$500 small phone? anything I should get instead?

>>102009574>poorfagAbsolutely, I've never spent more than 400 eurobucks for a phone.>Redmi Note 13 Pro+While I do, legitimately, appreciate the attempt, why do you keep recommending me phones that are smaller than the one I've got when the central point of my post was that I liked large phones? I will, however, look into the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, simply because I'm getting the vibe that this might actually be the closest I can get.
>>102009471I can't stand displays bigger than 6 inches
>>102009749That's alright, clearly the industry agrees with you, but I personally enjoy large displays. To each their own.
>>102009757>clearly the industry agrees with youIt absolutely not, the only phones with relatively small displays are the most expensive ones
>>102009471Samsung used to have this amazing line of phones that were huge (6.7''), cost practically nothing and had a fucking massive 7000mAH battery. The last one they made was the Samsung Galaxy F62 in 2021 though and the line has gone dead since then.These phones are genuinely rare now.
>>102009742I keep recommending them because I think you just have to adjust your expectations, 6.7" is probably the best you can get for now, it's not a massive differenceMaybe slightly larger phones will be popular again as we approach 2030, but not for now
>>102009788I appreciate your help Anon. Maybe it IS just time to accept that smaller screens are the future and I have to get onboard. Thanks for the help bud.
>>102009471You're living in a bygone age anon. A large phone (at least as large as you're talking about) with good battery and good specs is a unicorn now.
>>102009471You can still buy a Mate 20X, but there's a good chance the battery of (even unopened) units are thoroughly degraded by now.Why not just save up for that Fold instead? You'll get a small and a large phone all in one.

Look I know this isn't a smartphone but it's an Android tablet and tablets are basically less powerful phones.I bought one of those cheap ass Walmart tablets, came with a Helio G80, Android 14 and 800p IPS display and for the price, it's not that bad. I'd consider keeping it however there's one BIG issue, it doesn't support exFAT/ext4 so my 256GB uSD cards are worthless with it. Figures that they'd cheap out on this shit. I heard that's possible to add exFAT support on rooted phones but I don't know if this is worth the effort. The tablet has an option to unlock the bootloader so I'm guessing custom roms is possible (been awhile since I've done any of this shit). Can I do this? The kernel should have exFAT support since Google was adding it to 14, right?

>>102014477>too weakwhat are you using it for? i stopped playing games and shit on my daily driver so the midrange snapdragon works for me
>dad retired his igay xs>mom retired her igay 8 plus>ios versions too high, can't be jailbrokenSo these are just worthless fucking paperweights, right? Can I even use them to sideload apps anymore?
>>102014679I play a few tower defenses on my phone and the Moto is apparently around the same performance as my current old LG so I'd rather get something better to ensure I can still play them or similar stuff in the future
>>102014736did you ever compare camera shots? really interested in night mode shots for the 2024 vs 2023
>>102014833Dunno about that. You might find a comparison on youtube. Highly doubt they somehow degraded in that department when everything else is an upgrade
>>102014873yeah thats what im literally doing rn. gonna have to do a bit more research tho, im in no rush to get a diff phone but do want to make sure i get what i want the most (good/great camera)
Why are gooksung so obsessed with gimping their phones? Their FE was goated then they started removing features from it and now the S23 FE looks no different from the original S23. The A series of phones seem to get better every year but I know they won't add Snapdragon to them and start gimping them as well because then they would be real contenders with stuff that people want (like sd storage). Seriously, fuck Gooksung. Might be time to dump them altogether and go for a different brand.
Whys noone talking about how awful the pixel 9 pro screen is
>>102015381because they'd be making shit up
Is there any new flagship android worthwhile besides the S24 Ultra?
>>102012467Don't use wireless keyboards.
>>102012816Why not that one?
>>102015861It changed a few months ago and now I don't understand it and also my phone is super ugly now because it made all of my icons yellow and brown to match my wallpaper...
>>102009922Nubia z60 ultra
The Galaxy Flip 6 looks kinda tempting brehs...Convince me not to buy it, as someone who was obsessed with flip phones back in the 00s.
is there a way to install android on iphone
Honestly google should just kill themselves
between pixel 7a, 8a or used non A models that sell for under 500 what has the best battery life ?ill use graphene 0S and set it to 60hz and 5 g turned off and almost no notificationssecurity updates are running out on my 5a (should i just keep using it anyway?)
>>102016243sorry you didn't get call screening Patel, I know indians don't like speaking to each other either
My Pixel 6a's camera OIS system is fucked somehow and I can't get it to focus unless I get up close.It's still in warranty until the end of September. Should I send it to Google or trust one of those "partner" repair shops?I don't want to wait two weeks, but I do have a spare Motorola I could use in the meantime.
When's the next iPhone SE gonna release? I'm happy with my SE 3 but holy shit is the battery awful (dies in 4-5 hours on or off). I always gotta carry around a battery bank lol
>>102015063You're only supposed to buy the S Ultra or a foldable. It's a way to shame poorfags who go for the base models, another way Samsung copies Apple.
Whats good in smaller sized phones now. Sony used to make a good one but believe its no longer made.
>>102013034i'm looking forward to it as well. twophones is mai reviewfu
>>102016243lol 7 hours on a new phone??? i can do 6 hours on lte on 5 year old xiaomi with lineage
I really liked my old Pixel 6, but it broke a long time ago and my Pixel 7a has been pretty disappointing ever since I got it. Moreso lately, since it's constantly overheating in the car and acting rather sluggish now and again. I don't know what Google did, but the text to speech has been horribly inaccurate for a while too. I'd look into the Pixel 8 and 9, but apparently those are filled to the brim with Gemini AI, and I don't give a care about that. Someone recommended the One Plus 12/12R to me to look into, do any of you have experience with it? I've heard that the camera is a bit of a step down, but that overall it feels very 'quick' to use (typing, swiping through things, etc). I'm hesitant to switch away from the Pixel UI/way of doing things, but if it's a big improvement I might be willing to learn.

Got a Motorola Edge 40 Pro and I've been using it a lot to play emulators with a controller, mainly PS2 and Wii. Also got to connect it to a tv and use it as some kind of PC, but when I try to use the emulators and use the phone as some kind of Switch I naturally get some input lag on the image that makes it unbearable to play. Is there any way to fix or improve it? Being able to play on a big screen would be perfect.
ive had a zenphone 10 for a year but need to replace the screen is coming off. i want a phone thats zenphone size but not another one what should i get
>>102009198It could be (much) worse>manufactured in Pakistanhttps://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-ran-out-of-galaxy-s24-phones-pakistan/https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-strikes-deal-to-manufacture-mobile-phones-pakistan/
>>102014226ALL S23 variants are Snapdragon globally.
Would you still consider an iPhone 14 Pro an iPhone?
Long story short I need to replace the phone I've been using for 6 years. It has 4gb of ram but the important thing is it has an sd/headphone jack. I live in canada so selection is very limited, the only new phone I can find that has an sd/headphone jack also only has 4gb of ram.so my question is do I need more than 4gb of ram in this day and age? or should I just go for the phone that has 8gb/ram and costs the same per month?I hate buying new technology, I feel like I lucked in to my current phone and my next phone won't last nearly as long. I have decision paralysis. I don't even want a new phone but I feel like it is a necessity so I don't want to buy a new phone with similar specs to my 6 year old phone but I need that fucking sd/headphone slot.
>>102018844is this some kind of status chasing faggotry that I'm not homosexual enough to understand?
>>102018900>need headphone jackWhy not just use a usb adapter? Genuinely asking, as I don't use headphones myself. You will have way more phone options these days if you drop the jack requirement.
>>102019018>usb adapterI never thought of this. I'm not very knowledgable about smartphones. I've had cell phones since 2004 but the only smartphones I've ever had are a Blackberry Torch, which I used for 7 years, and a Galaxy A8 which I've used for 6 and a half years.I'm pretty much resigned to the fact I will have to forgo an SD slot/headphone jack, but as I am in Canada my options are fairly limited in the first place. I can basically afford a Pixel 8 or a Galaxy S23 FE. I am leaning towards the s23 fe but I hear there are issues with the battery, which is one of the reasons I am hesitant to get it.I hate smartphones, but they are a necessity now and I'm very concerned that my next phone won't last nearly as long as my current phone has.
how bad is the vanilla S24 if my country has the snapdragon variant?and what am i in for if my current phone is a pixel 7?
Finally got my redmi note 13 pro 256gb but the Aussie version doesn't have wifi calling option so it's only usable in the car fuckOtherwise great phone apparently other versions have wifi calling but no NFC? Back to the pixel 7a as the daily unfortunately Fortunately I think it knows not to fuck up otherwise it gets chucked again and it's usbussy filled with water and dirtAny way to find a firmware with wifi calling or modded rom? Already got hyperos on it it's really nice

my phone (zflip 4) as of yesterday keeps saying that it's charging slow because it's cold although it's not cold. why is this? is there a fix?
>>102018519Did you connect it via cable or wirelessly?
>>102019594Wow now I finally realize that WiFi calling was made for third worlders
Got the Xperia 1 VI Have two weeks to decide whether I'm keeping it or notDoing side by side comparisons with my 15PM So far can say that the iPhones display is nicer and build quality feels better and more solid, iOS looks nicer but android of course is much more functional...
I just discovered ADM for Android and I've now a unlocked a whole new level for pirating shit.That said, does ifaggot have download managers? If so, can I store and retrieve that data from the iPhone without having to do crapple's faggot shit of putting in the cloud? I can still jailbreak it too if that helps.
>>102009787F series was made for India. If you like phones like that, I have bad news for you.Have a nice day, saaar.
>>102009922> Is sony my only option if I don't want a notch/hole for front camera?Taking pills is also an option.
>>102011721> who the fuck is pantone paletteJews selling colors, seriously.I'm not joking.
>>102011442> when are the pixel 9 reviews dropping?To review a phone you need at least 2 weeks of usage and 2-3 days for editing. You also have to buy phone yourself for your own money.Since most western reviewers have "day 0" reviews with NDA and other stuff, they usually don't care about making honest review. They are saying on camera what manufacturer want them to say. So, you need to wait until reviews of "independent" reviewers from other countries. But they can't just outright buy a pixel. And I don't think you gonna watch some pajeet, gopnik or DAI.
>>102019384> how bad is the vanilla S24 if my country has the snapdragon variant?Why can't you just import snapdragon variant, it's even slightly cheaper.It's way worse.
>>102018280> Which one is the good chink brand again. I can't remember if they all had QC issues or notWhat are you talking about?
>>102017946> do any of you have experience with itThey are good.> it? I've heard that the camera is a bit of a step downIf you talking about 12, not R, then not. OnePlus has good cameras.
>>102016766I love those first world problems with "sending" things for a warranty repair.

Sometimes having x3 and x5 telephoto is useful.
>>102022800telephoto is infinitely more useful than ultrawide
>>102022809The best use for ultrawide is macro shots if it has autofocus, telephoto does seem way better generally but very few non-flagship phones have them.
>>102022852>macro shots if it has autofocusHaha it totally does... not... fuck you Samsung. My old Motorola had a telephoto AND autofocus on it's ultrawide, so why can't my S23 too?
>>102022858I've grown to respect moto for slapping a main and ultrawide with autofocus camera on most of their phones, instead of retarded fucking 2mp macro/depth camera that a lot of cheaper phones stick on to try to make it look more expensive because it has more cameras.
>>102022858> so why can't my S23 too?Buy ulta.
>>102022928>buy a huge chonker phone just for better camerasI'd rather buy a 5.4 inch (19.5:9 aspect) Samsung phone with worse cameras kek
Nothing CMF Phone 1 vs Google pixel 7Which one would you pick /g?
>>102022852love when there's an actual macro lens eg. some of the redmi phones.
>>102023178But ultrawide with autofocus does the same thing but better because it's a better quality camera.
>>102023178I was impressed by the Redmi Note 9 macro, it's surprisingly high quality- and has autofocus - for a phone that was 150$ at launch.
>>102023143Pixel, and it's not even a difficult choice.
why is it that samsung is what most people think of when you mention android and not google? i live in burgerland and almost nobody knows what pixels are
>>102023624Because Samsung has by far the largest market share out of any androidhttps://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/mobile/united-states-of-america
Which browser do you use?
>mous cases all have an ugly sticker that doesn't cover the entire back of the phone and no blank optionbleeeechhhAny recommendations for a semi protective magsafe compatible case brosephs
>>102022950> buy a huge chonker phone just for better camerasNo refunds sir
>>102023624Popularity.Samsung is largest monobrand in android world, BBK, being largest manufacturer, separated itself into almost dozen of brands (nothing/cmf, OnePlus, vivo, oppo, iq00, realme). So statistically most popular phone would be Samsung.> Buuuut nothing is separated!!They using same chassis as nord series and oppo Reno. I know it because I repair them.By the way, pixel us shit.
>>102018900motorola g84 has 12 gb of ram and 256 gb of storage + jack and sd card slotjust import one if you really need both
>>102024416> us shit.is shit
>>101998009Jej, Google actively sabotaging benchmarking applications to avoid making \tensor G4 look like absolute shit:>Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with benchmark scores at this time as the benchmark apps we use were reported as "incompatible" on the Play Store and sideloading them got us results which were way to low (lower than Pixel 8 Pro, for instance) to be considered as representative. Let's hope the limitations are lifted later down the line and we are able to offer you proper benchmark scores.https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_9_pro_xl-review-2738p4.php
>>102023624In Lithuania it's very similar, if you mention that you're using an Android device, they automatically assume Samsung. Even though we have an incredibly wide range of phones to choose from, pretty much every phone on the market can be bought either from the carriers or local mom&pop-store-type dealers.I have only ever seen one Google Pixel IRL, Samsungs are everywhere, so are Xiaomis, even Sony Xperias can be seen from time to time.
>>102019594>usbussyDramatard pls
>>102002864different anon who has both siri can do a lot more stuff while locked so if I just yell across the house the phone will change the ac or start my car or turn the lights off etc.the ios keyboard does use swipe and has for a couple generations now. i do still main my s24ultra though since there's a lot of stuff that I prefer on android but I need the iphone for family chats and pictures and airtags and find my and some other stuff since nobody in my family or friends wants to use android. one good thing is that I can use airmesaage to basically get imessage on android and forward all my calls to my android too. can't do the reverse as easily with sms to ios.
>>102021860>no roaming fees>less battery usage>great call quality due to better data ratesOnly a retard would not want wifi calling.

>>102021860my gigabit Internet is more stable than the signal I get outside, dunno what to tell you
>>102014736>tower defenses which ones
Was thinking of getting a pixel 9, but after seeing that they went all in on AI shit that I don't really care about, I don't know anymore. Might just get a S24 Ultra instead. Gotta say, both of these phones are fucking expensive.
>>102026095The S24 Ultra shits the bed under heavy workload
Welll?>>102022409
>>102026141Is it because 12gb isn't enough?
>>102009003Same. How is your battery?
kernelSU or Magisk for rooting? does it even matter AT ALL?
>>102026306Nah it noped out of that test because it hit a thermal limit. The p9 only didn't because Google let the phone hit 50c without doing the same. That stress test isn't really indicative of real world use in general though, only how it would behave under highest use case scenario
>>102026141>>102026613would you rather let it cook the phone then? retard
>>102026649I wouldn't, no. that would be stupid.
>>102026649This. I don't trust Gooksung + heat. Don't forget about the the Note battery fiasco.
>>102004854common issue. your files lost bitrate due to rotational velocidensity. this is why you should use lossless formats like flac instead of webm
>>102022891>motoWhich model are you talking about?
>>102025721Kingdom rush series, arknights, some random ones I find on the playstore. You can usually look at the reviews to see if the game is just micro transaction bait or if you can actually just play it like a human.
>gachanigunironically how poor af are you
>>102021300Wirelessly, I suppose that using a cable may help but I'm not 100% sure, I should get one and try it out.
>>102026897Almost all of them, except like some super budget ones
>>102026966Half of the anime posting browns posting here are brainrotted from mihoyo slop. At least Arknights man has some taste.
Have replaceable batteries completely gone the way of the buffalo now?
>>102026977It's got usb 3.2 so it should have a good wired connection.
>>102026987Define "super budget". For some people that's like phones under 300 bucks which is what.. the G Play? I think the A14 is 200 something and it's gimped shit.
>>102027152By super budget I mean like sub $150. Which the g play falls into, it's $130. But if you go up to the $200 range they pretty much all seem to have it. If you can get the g84 for around $200 that's going to shit all over your a14.
>>102027250>G84>look it up>215 USDOkay, not bad. Not bad at all for a 695. Another question, do you know what the actual number of OS upgrades Moto does? I hear people always say it's one, but it's only one if you're outside the US otherwise it's 2. Not great but hey, midrange phone with a good camera? I'm open.
>>102027358The cheap ones get one or two, the higher up ones get up to 3. It's their weakest area really, and the updates come in pretty slowly too. But I like their software when it actually arrives.
