S24 ultra, oneplus 12 or Pixel 9 XL pro ?Price is not an issue, I am coming from a mi 9 that I had since 2019.
>>102029267S24U
>>102029267Never Pixel unless the only thing you care about is photo quality from the main ("wide") camera.S24 Ultra is probably the best option. Best performance and great cameras. OnePlus 12's software is too chinkified and has worse cameras than the Ultra, while the only thing it has going for it is marginally better battery life and, admittedly, MUCH faster charging.
>>102029622how fast are we talking about charging? I could charge my Mi 9 in about 30-40 minutes, that's adequate for me if it's the same with the S24U
the videos from the pixel 9 are fucking awful lmfao
Can't believe I paid 1200 EUR for a fucking phone

>>102030087Pixels are absolute shit, there's nothing about them that could make up for the absolute disaster that is the Tensor SoC.
I'd trade in the high res screen and high end processors for more battery desu. I don't use my phone for anything beyond messages music and light web browsing.

>>102029926>Using the Samsung 45W adapter, our S24 Ultra got to 69% (nice) in 30 minutes and took 65 minutes to reach 100%.>Either way, in our testing, the OnePlus 12 took 24 minutes to reach 100% when starting from empty, which is pretty awesome. You do need to enable the 'Smart rapid charging' toggle in the battery settings to get the fastest results - otherwise the phone will charge a little slower (we clocked 28 minutes - still pretty impressive).
>>102029267OP12 here go with the S24U if money no issue (I just dont like dealing with all the samsung shit)enjoying the OP12 16gb/512gb since it runs great and camera is good
>>102030149>what is poor battery performance>what is thermal throttling/emergency shutdown>what is poor reception>what is janky/sluggish UIYeah okay, I guess SoC doesn't matter after all.
>>102030198all fixed in 9
>>102030221lmao, they even blocked benchmarking software on release firmware so reviewers can't tell how ogre the performance actually is
>>102030221Yeah but no, Pixel 9 runs on Tensor 4, which is just a downclocked Tensor 3. Earliest complete architecture redesign on a TSMC die will be featured on Tensor 5 i.e. Pixel 10.
>>102030128>>102030149this

Do people really have to use a buggy rom made by trannies to escape from Scamsung bloat? That's embarrassing.
how often do you upgrade your phones, anons? I've had mine for 3 years and a half but I hope I can reach 5 years with it, though it's becoming harder and harder (it was a second hand unit already, and the battery life is awful, though it was pretty bad since the beginning)
>oh damn I have to spend LITERAL MINUTES uninstalling shit from my phone the first time I boot it up after buying it! literally bloated and unusable, deploy the custom roms that break NFC payments and banking apps!!

>>101966034samefag here. after an extensive research, lots of trials and too many errors, i found the solutionall those official guides are garbage. they don't know nothing! (most weren't even for Samsung devices. fastboot ftw)terminal commands? patching files? downloading firmware? forget about all that! none of that is necessaryall i had to do was to install TWRP using Odin, copy LineageOS and Magisk files to phone's memory, then use the built-in 'install' option to install LineageOS, let the system boot once, then go back to TWRP, 'install' the Magisk app, reboot to LOS and then finally enjoy my rooted privilegesthe hardest part was to rename the Magisk .apk extension to .zip before installationsharing for future generations

>>102032824>then use the built-in 'install' optionin TWRP of course
I got a pixel 9 Pro XL for GrapheneOS.Should I create a new Google account or does that even matter when I bought the phone directly from Google? They already know my phone number, so I might as well just use my main one, right?(Wrote to the wrong thread originally)
i literally spent 240 dollars on a pixel 9 from best buy's ridiculous trade in promo AND got a 100 dollar gift certificate. they gave away the pixel 9 for an iphone 12. i bought a refurb ip12 from amazon for 240 dollars. this phone is more than what i need and the camera is nice
So is /iemg/ correct that $20 wired IEM's will absolutely shit all over even the most expensive wireless earbuds, or is that just audiophile faggotry and are some galaxy buds or whatever fine?
>>102033608Some super high end stuff might sound better but they'll be better than most. But that doesn't mean that most wireless earbuds are going to sound like shit. If you're not a super audiophile you can just get some wireless buds if you want to
I want to buy an android but I’m really considering buying another SE for the smaller size, a lot more comfortable for my hands.>>102033495Happy for you

>>102033608Just get wirelessThe convenience is worth any slight quality downgradeI never went back after i got my first pair
Would you consider the iPhone 14 Pro a real iPhone? It’s an outdated model and the 16 will be out soon. Are you guys upgrading?
>>102033746Thanks ;)
Galaxy S23 or iPhone 12?
>>102034047iPhone changes so little every year since the 11 that if you can’t afford the 16 and you have to have iPhone then the 14 should be fine. Or honestly wait for the 15 to drop in price so you can get USBC
Good afternoon sirs, my 5 months old A55 has been developing some problems with its GPS as of late, it gets fixed after restarting it but it comes back some hours later...

New HMD phone with user replaceable battery. Based?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFCzL5pieU
>>102034480>Flagship price for midrange specs, only thing it has going for it is the changeable batteryI have my doubts it'll have any real presence in the smartphone world, especially after 2027
>>102033608Some real good $20-25 IEMs really do sound comparable to high end TWS, in my opinion my $20 7hz zeros sound similar in sound quality to my airpod pros and buds 2pro. That said TWS have other benefits like the convenience of being wireless, water/dust resistance, ANC and transparency, a good quality mic, etc.
posting this again: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.
>>102030309Anyone?
Do you think I'd regret going from an older Pixel to a One Plus?
>>102034147if you are a normie get s23if you ultranormie get iphone
>>10203404714 is one of the worst iphones lmfao. even 13 is better
>>102029200i always prefer cameras by the edge so you can take low angle pics in landscape.. this middle shit is retarded
>>102035165Just get the P9. Improved all around and if you're in the USA you can get them dirt cheap or even free with trade ins
Is there a reason why I should pick the realme GT6 over the poco f6 pro?
>>102033785Why not
Is there a better locked folder option than Locked Folder/Safe Folder on Android? They're both so bare bones you can't even make albums or organize photos in them and it's just terrible
So, pixel 9 pro or wait for the iPhone 16 pro?Both are the same price nowadays anyway
>>102029267S24u>>102030113This is because they didn't turn of GOS, you in suffer faggot.I hate Scamscum as a company, but the s24u is by far the best phone on the market. I thought the pen would be a gimmick, but it actually been handy for signing online documents and taking quick notes. Screen is gorgeous, with the least glare of any phone ever. If it didn't have a selfie camera hole, it's be close to perfect. Camera looms great; I'm sure it's comparable w iphone and pixel. OneUI is the best Android OS if you don't care about the botnet. Actually sharp corners on the display, a breath of fresh air from all the rounded shit.Graphene looks excellent, but you'll get a gimped SoC with a pixel.OnePlus12 looks great besides the curved screen. Ultimately, I think the s24u will go down as one of the best phones ever, respect of they return to curved screens or somehow fuck up the s25u.
>>102035165If you don't want to go Scamscum, then get the One Plus 12
i traded in my s23 ultra 256GB for a pixel 9 pro xl 256GB and only paid $145 after tax and paying for the 256gb model specifically, and got a $200 best buy gift card on top of it. i figure i can see if i like this for the time being and if i do then i don't need to overpay for samsung. if i don't then i'll go back and trade this in when the S25U comes out
>>102030025I just paid $500 for one, and I feel like an idiot.
Is S24 with exynos processor worth it? Give me your honest opinions
>>102037705Yeah, but check it in kimovil frequency checker first.
>>102037705no, get the S23 as they're all snapdragon pic related, temps at max load on an Exynos S24
>>102037776Wanna check my temp at max load?
>>1020310043-4 years is the best timeframe to upgrade your phoneThe people who hang on to their phones for 8+ years don't understand that this is actually detremental to them, while they flaunt it as "an achivement"
>>102037238...anyone?
>>102038176You'd be retarded to pay iPhone prizes for an AI handwarmer from a commercial intelligence agency.
>>102038279So iPhone then?
>>102029267What's the deal with a Oneplus 12? It looks like the best Android flagship to get for the price, performance, storage, everything. What is the downside? I know Chinese phones have ads in them but you can disable this and bloatware which you can also disable. So why are they that cheap? Does the Oneplus 12 take terrible photos, does the battery deteriorate too soon?
>>102038318Oneplus 7 with android 10 was their last excellent phone. With android 11 and release of OnePlus Nord they fully committed to make only cheap chinkshit
>>102038318>What's the deal with a Oneplus 12?it's a OnePlus
>>102038318> What's the deal with a Oneplus 12?It's good and shills seethe.
>>102038309As much as I hate to recommend crapple, if the only choices are iPhone or Pixel, then the answer is unequivocally iPhone. Especially now that the price tags are similar.
>>102029267As owner of s24u, I would recommend it only if you need flat screen. It's bad, has slow charging which is terrible.
>>102038508Yes the only choices are in fact apple and pixel. A few years ago OnePlus was an option but they've hit the shitter after peaking with the 7 pro (my current phone btw)So now we're left with>Apple (overpriced but supposedly does what it's supposed to do, just werks tm)>Pixel (clean android experience, good cameras)>Samshit (the specs are supposed to be god tier but I hate the UI so much I'd rather unironically KMS than use it daily)>Sony (insanely overpriced and subpar for what it offers)And a lot of other chinkshit I'll never bother caring about
>>102034480HMD still thinks that they owning Nokia brand.Having 7g2 for $500 isn't good.
>>102038536Then iPhone. You call them overpriced (which I tend to agree with) but when you throw a Pixel in the comparison then that label goes to the Pixel. It's just hilariously expensive for what it is.
>>102038573My only annoyance with the iPhone is that I'll have to buy the air pods and maybe le applel watch (although I usually only use my watch for running, so maybe a Garmin would be better instead)It's not that I'm short on money, I'm just a greedy fuck kek
>>102038318the camera is unironic garbage
>>102038525Dunno why Samsung can't just add a bit faster charging. Was slightly annoyed going from my 2019 xiaomi with 30w charging to 2023 S23 with 25w. I fast charged the shit out of that xiaomi and it still has 85% capacity left
>>102038650I had 70w and now 45w, which isn't 45w but 30w in most cases.Samsung also dropping speed at any point for no reason.
>>102038585Sounds like something I'd find more bearable than overheating, frame drops in regular menus, having to charge in the afternoon (and slow at that), bad reception, regular breaking updates and having paid as much as an iPhone for that.
>>102038635> the camera is unironic garbageIt isn't
>>102038536>>102038394>>102038382Why what's wrong with the 12 and other current models?
>>102038793> Why what's wrong with the 12 and other current models?Nothing wrong. It's just boomers liked their OnePlus 3t and OnePlus 12 is different
>>102038850Still haven't received a good reason for why chinkphones are bad? The biggest thing holding me back is the difficulty of claiming the warranty, and the fact all Chinese companies will spy on behalf of the CCP.
>>102038867> Still haven't received a good reason for why chinkphones are bad?I owned OnePlus 9 pro and now have s24u. Samsung is way worse.> and the fact all Chinese companies will spy on behalf of the CCP.If it's what you care about, then I suggest taking pills and wearing foil hat.It's not China that screw you over, it's your government. Always fear your government the most. That's what I do.
>>102038956Your own government already has everything it needs about you, so there's nothing to be scared about lmao. Whether you use phone a or phone b, it literally doesn't matter lmfao.While if you use a Chinese phone, there is the tiny but nonzero risk that some Chinese hackers or whoever gets bored on their side decides to blackmail you with your furry history or vids of you jerking off for the lulz.
I don't care about backdoors or whatever. I just don't want to worry about the phone falling apart a day after the warranty expires
All I care is about the phone not stuttering in Honkai Star Rail, being able to last 24 hours without recharging, and supporting NFC payments and banking apps
>>102039055get a tablet, use your current phone for payments
>>102039251>>102039055Terrible advice. Get a console. Don't play games on your phone.
Realme has automatic lock screen wallpaper. It's this usually. Based or cringe?
>>102039280I (>>102039055) already have a desktop PC for gaming, but I need my phone to be able to handle this one game so I can keep up with my dailies when I'm not home.Thankfully my current phone perfectly fits the criteria I listed.
>>102039016China can't send you to jail, but your government can.
>>102039370Your government doesn't need you to have a specific phone to send you to jail brainlet. Read my post again
>>102037406Does it have any build quality issues? Because, for example, Pixel 8 pro reportedly has some sharp spikes under display (antennas or whatever IDC cos other smartphone dont have this issue) by design that some users report to rip through the screen under specific circumstances (like applying a screen protector) causing it to have all kinds of symptoms and eventually break so as to completely refuse to turn off. And I only got to know it after I had bought the damn thing. https://pikabu.ru/story/est_probitie_zamena_displeya_na_google_pixel_8_pro_11084704#comments (its in Russian so use auto translate, from a repair shop worker explaining tge issue with the quality of Pixel's engineering and build design). So as you may have already guessed, yes the screen can break if you simply give it a hard enough press

>>102039757I haven't heard anything like that. That sounds like a defect in the design. I have heard OnePlus quality control can be all over the place, meaning some of the phones have shitty components. I read that they will void warranties if the phone has cosmetic damage like 6 years ago, but IDK if that is still the case. As long as it'll be covered for a year from manufacturing defects, it's probably pretty safe to purchase, but we all know Chang can be a piece of shit sometimes with customer service+ warranties.>>102040044Bloody benchod basterd bitch my village is top in all of India.

I HATE IMPORT TAXES AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I was thoroughly embarrassed when I took a call on my Xiaomi recently (I get like 2 phone calls a year) and I couldn't hear them nor could they hear me. Rebooting fixed it. I wouldn't even have known it didn't work had they not called me. Is it dogshit programming? Do chinks outsource to jeetland too? Fuckers
My current phone (Moto One 5G Ace) hasn't been doing so hot since upgrading to Android 13 (LineageOS 20). I'm thinking about swapping it for a used Samsung Note S10+ 5G which I will also install Lineage on. It's older but the specs are better. From what I can tell only 2 versions are supported on Lineage but neither seem to support 5G in the US? My carrier does say it will work though so I'm confused. Am I misunderstanding something here?

>>102043815You already own a Samsung so either the A55 or the base S23/S24 (if you don't care much about battery size) would be the most natural upgrade.If you really want to bail out of Samsung then the G85 or maybe the Edge 50 Neo would do, no Idea about the redmi phones but their bloatware is usually on par with Samsung's.

>>102046888If it's a device that is always with you and you'll be using a lot then it's not bad to have a nicer one (snappier, versatile camera system, oled for potentially nicer reading with black screen and low light, high brightness for using under the sun, battery that lasts a few days and fast charging, promise of more software updates like the new samsung and pixel lines having 7 years).

>>102050222because everyone else is doing it why take the expense
>>102050222jewish cost cutting, never buy anything from snoyalso the phone is shitliterally the only good thing is the lack of notch t. Xperia 1V owner
>>10205026021:9 is also so fucking bad too they went to 19.5:9 which is even worsethey could have done 16:9 or 18:9 but no
>>102050222They are content with ripping the absolute fuck off of their niche fanbase. But hey, at least they added and additional year of software support to the VI line
>>102050260And 3.5mm and sd slot >>10205027421:9 is great though fag
>>102046367from a distance it's kinda satisfying looking at how your IV cracked. like geometric art. anyways i'm guessing the substantial increase in width on the VI probably didn't help with comfort.
>>102050789Might take it off and run it back panelless in a case now that it's a house phone.Its not substantial but it is enough to notice. I have large hands at least.The VI back texture is very nice but Xperia has been glass back forever. However I did break my Xperia Z3 back panel twice too.

On a forum I frequent they go as far as >w-well you're just using it wrong, you should live closer to a celltoweror>of course the battery is dead before end of the day, just use it half as often as you normally wouldAnd people keep falling for it, buy a Pixel, and then end up rageposting but never buying something else. Why is Google's following cultlike? I swear it's worse than Apple at this point.

>>102054033You clearly haven't used an s24u before, and I don't encourage you to try it. It's like using a 60hz display for decades and never really questioning it or thinking anything is wrong, but then someone shows you what 240hz looks like and now you can't go back.

>>102029200Any midrange and or Flagship Killer bros here?Art thou needth to spend how many of hundreds to even a thousand dollars for a flagship Apple or Samsung phone? Sometimes a damn good upper midrange and Flagship Killer is the way to go, especially if it manages to have a flagship chipset with it >Poco F5 Pro, 12 GB RAM and 512GB storage, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1Though already has AMOLED burn or signs of AMOLED burn in the form of the home screen buttons' "marks" or artifacts being barely visible in bright white screens in less than a year, after 9 or 10 months. But I suppose it isn't a problem and is negligible as it won't be evident or visible if the screen is Dark or in different colors.
>>102055223Used to be in the midrange or upper midrange gang for a few years, never quire flagship killer, but ended up jumping to flagship this year. Would've gone upper-midrange (7-series Snapdragon) if there were phones around 6 inches with those chips, but my only options were Galaxy S and iPhone unfortunately.Got tired of gigantic phones after having 2 phones in a row with 6.5 and 6.7 inch screens respectively, after upgrading from a standard-sized phone with a 5.2 inch screen with 16:9 ratio.
>>102055223Shame on your burn in. My old one burned in too but it was the status bar and I only saw it by year 4, when it was almost dying.I nearly got an A55. But even if I forgo my disdain for Samsung, the "yellowness" of almost all A55 I tried put me off. Both retail and demo units. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I saw a sub 250 Poco X6 Pro with HDR, 1.5k 120Hz screen, ufs 4 (but usb 2.0 kekw) wifi 6 and 67W fast charging so I rolled with it.Living without sd cards/jacks and to en extent, USB 3, is kinda hard but flagships don't have them as well.Next upgrade I'll go with bypass charging one but that'd be years from now.

>>102057142The rom doesn't ruin that, google does
>>102057179My point is that installing any custom ROM breaks these features, and intentionally doing that to your phone is retarded
>>102057197I mostly agree because stock roms aren't absolute cancer anymore for the most part. But I still find it worth pointing out that the only reason this is happening is because companies go out of their way to cripple functionality.

Explain why you're okay with early reviews of Pixel 9? Honest reviews will show up in a month at best.
>>102038536The pixel UI is designed for infantile morons that are scared of in depth customization and actively hates the concept of information density. The new weather UI literally removes information in favor of long winded AI generated weather reports that give you advice rather than specific information. It is not "clean android", AOSP is barebones and OneUI more closely resembles it than PixelUI. I genuinely, truly believe that only retards and contrarians like the pixel UI experience. Smasnug might be a mess as soon as you get two layers deep into any settings menu, but at least you still have a customizable android experience, especially if you dig into goodlock.
How do people tolerate the jank?I tried a S24 for a few days coming from an iPhone 14 and holy fuck it's annoying as hell to use! The phone itself is more technologically accomplished for sure, but holy shit is the OS unbearable to use.>try to snap a pic directly from Signal to share with gf because I don't want the pic staying in my camera roll after0 processing, incredibly grainy and smudged image because Signal (like basically every other app) doesn't use the CameraX API. That's because Google management is fucktarded and can't stop themselves from deprecating Android's API's every other year to replace them with the new shiny toy, so app developers don't bother trying to keep up.>try to log into my apps, using Bitwarden as a password managerIn half of the apps I don't even get the option to bring up the autofill with Bitwarden. In the other half, it does pop up, but it's never able to automatically match the credential based on the app's URL. No such issue on iOS.>no native support for CalDAV/CardDAVIn iOS I can sync contacts and calendars/tasks via CalDAV/CardDAV right in the OS settings, and then manage my shit directly in the default apps. On Android, you go with Google or you can fuck off apparently.>battery dropping 2-3% per hour while my phone is sitting on a table doing nothingWhat the fuck?>connect my phone to my car via Android Auto, pull up Waze. Try to have Waze on my phone and music on the car's screen, but I can't because Waze won't let you use it on your phone while it's connected to AA.WHY??? Who the fuck designs this shit? It's literally a Google app and it won't let me perform this simple task on Android that works perfectly fine on iOS?
Did anyone here switch from an android to iPhone recently? I want to switch because I like the photo quality and that you can have a relatively compact flagship. I think I'm tired of big phone
>>102058284I did a couple years ago and it cured my phone hopping. See >>102058266, I tried an Android device again recently and the experience was horrible. iOS used to get a lot of shit for working only with other Apple products and locking you into their ecosystem, but Android has gotten even worse with that somehow.
>>102058238alternatively: people enjoy the out of the box experience as is

Is the OP12 enough of an upgrade over the 12R that I should spend the extra money, or would I probably be just fine getting the 12R?
Give me one or more reasons to not get a thinkphone. Seems like a good price
>>102054914I actually tried a 144hz monitor couple years ago and decided to buy the bigger 75hz with free sync instead. and on my phone, I have 120hz but I switched it to 60hz for battery benefit even though its a lot less smooth but after a day you don't notice it so why even have it? only thing it's useful for is scrolling through things and I don't do that that much.but still how the fuck do you scratch a screen? I'm like a decade of using Smartphones I only scratched a screen protector once, just took it off and never bothered putting anything else on.
>>102057483I take "Made in China" as "medium quality" nowadays. At least compared to India for tech and Turkey for clothes.
Would you consider buying a used smartphone? Have you ever done it?
>>102059859If my current phone breaks or gets lost/stolen randomly, I'm most likely gonna grab a used S21 or S21 FE for around 150-180 euro instead of a crappy entry-level/lower-midrange Galaxy A-series or Redmi Note-series phone.That's if it happens right now. Next year it would probably be too late to be looking at the S21-series.
>>102057483>>102057651Lmao, chinked
>>102057197>>102057142not my problem
>>102058284I did because I wanted to see the ecosystem (I got an iphone 11, macbook air m3, airpods pro 2 and ipad pro m2 11), and it works more or less the same so there shouldn't be an issue switching (where I live no one uses facetime or the message app, only whatsapp which is annoying to switch without losing all history so app wise it didn't matter). Though the iphone kinda made the least difference in the ecosystem (even considering how the ipad is crippled by the software) and the ecosystem itself is too limiting (third party accessories I like don't work perfectly like mouses, mechanical keyboards and some audio stuff, plus most of my house supports google assistant or alexa controls but not siri). I'm back to android with the s24 ultra (kinda unfair to compare an old iphone with android flagship though, but the only thing I miss is faceid).
>>102058266>How do people tolerate the jank?half of the apps I use are github sideloads
Why is Stock Android so shit? The awful notification shade, the shitty font, the babyish color schemes, the lack of customization. I think Motorola is one of the few OEMs who allow any kind of personalization. There's Chinese UIs that I would take over this.

Sorry if it sounds weird, but do phone and smart device (wearables ala Garmin and SmartWatch builders) generally try to progress their devices by the total weight, or do they usually try to make things slimmer and weigh less and THEN improve upon it?Sounds stupid, but I would be fully okay, e.g. with a smartphone series that kept their weight at 300g max and see if there is enough progress to improve from the last generation every one to two years while staying true to one of the properties.Or maybe the maximum size of the phone like one that's as big as a 3310 Nokia but has very good specs for it and they are trying to increase or focus solely on more energy efficiency and energy capacity of the phone.I am just curious.T. Redmi phone 11 (128gb ROM, 3+2gb ram, with 128gb SD cars) owner.I am slowly getting into economics or how the current economy works and how to adapt it to it without fucking over consumers that also are pro users from a standard use case.I also have found out some settings in some wearables/phones that increase their duration, which I will try to implement by using c# of possible.Thank you for Listening to a drunk person.
>>102061689Try to connect your phone to your computer, open the folder there and copy and rename the file.
>>102063121an s24 with bloat still outperforms the pixel 9 in every metric, I wouldn't get it unless it was significantly cheaper
>>102062677$500 for an 8+ Gen 1 phone is not bad at all I'd say, people are buying Galaxy A and Pixel A series for not that much less. Software support seems to be 3/4 which could be better but meh it's ok enough
Man, nobody cares about hardware nowadays. I remember talking about smartphone and PC hardware a lot with IRL friends back in the mid-2010's, but after Covid I feel like people stopped giving a fuck about what hardware the device they own has (CPU manufacturer, GPU model, etc.) as long as it plays the games they like and supports the programs they need.Friends of mine that had really great phones back in the day like the Galaxy S3, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10+, etc. all now either have a random Redmi Note [number] Pro (if still unemployed) or an iPhone (if they got a job).And if I ask them what chip their phone has, they straight up don't know or just look at me weird.
>>102063472kys
What phone should I buy if I want to take nice instagram pictures and watch porn? Dont need/want a phone for anything else, honestly.
>>102063637>shitstagramLiterally anything will do. They compress the shit out of your image and downscale it to 1080x1350.also>shitstagramkys normie
>>102063637Ideally at minimum some $200+ midranger or a secondhand flagship. For midranger - anything will do, but especially Samsung and Xiaomi are popular and can take decent photos for the price point. Samsung have better software and support, but Xiaomi usually takes better pictures. Look for the Galaxy A or Xiaomi Redmi Note series.For used flagship - your best bet is either Samsung S series or a Google Pixel. S20 FE or S21 FE will be great options for about $150-200 used, but no idea about Pixels pricing because they aren't sold officially in my country, only by third party stores and resellers.You could also get any somewhat recent iPhone and just skip the "caring about specs" part. If all you want is to post on Insta and watch porn, anything equal or newer than the 11 will do the job. Avoid the base model 11, any SE and any Mini, unless you don't care about how good your porn looks.
>>102063637I am not sure myself. I am waiting for the next poco phone iterations before I start doing some research and look for decently supported phones that allow me to get 2y+ support after buying via company or custom distros(?) without fucking up mobile banking apps.For now my note 11's battery has a battery integrity of 87%:4362mAh of 5000mAh are left to use.The moment I reach either 80% or finish my apprenticeship, I might be able to get a phone through the company I am interning with as a partner to the retraining center I am working with.Would be fun to have a chance to buy an android phone every 2-3 years that's subsidized since it's a dual sim work of art with high specs.Can't wait to either sell them for a profit, or use them as cheap homeservers if it's easy to use.
So pretty much all Google has to do for the pixel 10 is>make tensor faster>qi2 charging>gorilla glass armorlooks like they sorted out everything else, pretty good stuff.
>>102058696About a month or two. My previous Fold I used for two years with no issues so I think this is just back luck.
>>102063472call me shallow but nowadays I care more about AnTuTu and Geekbench scores than the SoC by itself unless I'm getting a Poco or Xiaomi (they absolutely need to be Snapdragon in order to install a custom ROM) anything above 500,000 points on AnTuTu v10 is perfectly fine for most people, add a UFS memory if you care about longevitycurrently rocking a mid-range Samsung phone with a Dimensity CPU, my previous phone was high end slop with a Snapdragon 865
>>102063637>take nice instagram picturesAside from the S24, the IG camera on android is still incredibly awful, as is the case with other social media cameras. You're better off with an iPhone if its important to you.
