You should have bought a Motorola G54, sweetie.

I am aiming to buy a phone once the built-in battery has degraded to the point I have to charge it thrice a day.
For now my battery is at 87% health and I am waiting for it to reach 80% or 70% before I look for a phone that's one to two gens behind the current one yet has at least 2-3 years support left for security.

Is that a good way to go for things?
Especially if I want to have a phone that I can, if I can afford it, that's high spec and I expect it to run for at least 7 years?

>>102065451
How high spec are we talking? Because if you're dumping like 1k into a phone every 7 years or so it might actually be more economical to trade it in every year and get the latest model for a big discount (assuming that manufacturer offers it, many don't)

>>102065451
>Is that a good way to go for things?
As long as it works and make sense for you. Personally, I'm an medium phone user (3 hours of SoT per day on average) and I refuse to keep a phone that cannot last me the entire day from wakeup to bedtime on a single charge.
At the very least be able to last the whole day with my regular usage, I would be willing to compromise with having to use a portable battery on long days or trips.
I doubt most anons here would agree with either of us, considering the things I've read on /spg/ like anon(s) insisting anything below 8 hours of SoT on a single charge is pathetic and unusable in 2024. To those anons I say, get a life or a personal computer.

>>102064905
My mum's A32 suffered from that shit after two years of usage, last month I decided to do a backup her stuff and factory reset it, so far and save for the battery life it solved the lagging and it even loaded stuff like the first day.

I suggest you try doing that, see if it fixes it for you too.

I picked up the Pixel 9 Pro XL a few hours ago and gotta say it's pretty good. The pixel 6 and 7 did not impress me at all and I skipped the 8, but this phone truly feels like it's trying to compete. It's really making my iPhone 15 pro max camera look like dogshit. Putting them in the same situations and pixel gathers more light, has better focus, and isn't making up detail in areas where it's not capturing properly. The 14 pro and 15 pro cameras being ass are a lot of why I am looking to leave the iPhone behind as my primary mobile device. Apples behavior is another reason. I don't want to fund their two biggest cash cows anymore: Services and iPhone. Happy to buy and use iPads and Macs independent of the rest of the devices, and as I type this I'm finding I'm making way less or no typos with this keyboard compared to the iOS keyboard. I will just miss some of my bespoke apps. Anyone else enjoying their time with the new pixel?

I literally come from iPhone 15 Pro to s24 ultra and they both take pictures just as fast as the other. If it takes slow pictures it's because it was low light. With an iPhone it is also slow in low light by default to get more light and better picture. You can change that at the top in the camera app on both the s24 ultra and the iphone

Serious answer: Yes but actually No.

The problem with Exynos isn't that they are bad, they are just a generation behind. For example, Everyone agrees that the SD8Gen2 is a fantastic chip that does everything very well. I know that for myself, since Its in my S23U

Meanwhile the Exynos 2400 which is in the regular S24 models, is literally, factually, genuinely almost the exact same as the SD8Gen2 in every benchmark. Of course, stupid people see the Exynos label and immediately sperg emotionally out with "OMG ITS EXYNOS, ITS SHIT AND IM NOT BUYIN' IT" without doing any research whatsoever.

Battery is pretty bad; can't into VRR, so Mull is stuttery as all hell unless you disable fingerprint resistance; if you screen record, even launcher stutters; photos are not great with a lot of fake blur applied for some reason in auto mode. Then there's regular lack of new features like UFS4 and Qi2.

Overall, I don't really see any positives to this phone and I don't see any improvement besides high refresh rate (which stutters in Mull) compared to my 5 years old iPhone.

>>102077501
I just got mull on my P9PXL and was wondering why it was a stuttery pos, apparently, it runs at 60hz? What fingerprint resistance setting are you referring to? My first day of the battery should hit about 8 hours of SOT, I'm at 5.5 right now with 30% battery left, and I only ever charged to 90% last night after getting it. I will agree on the stutters and lags and for some reason being randomly sent back to the home screen after opening an app on multiple occasions. Weird shit for a version of Android that is a year old and should be polished.

>Stop thinking Android is some l33t hacker superior OS, it's not. It's dog shit spyware from Google that didn't really do anything special. iPhones pretty much do it all better in every single way.
But android is the superior OS. you can do everything with ease but on iOS you constantly run into walls that are annoying to conquer. There's so many weird little limitations or bugs that makes it feel unpolished. Still remember for how many months I had to endure those random loud keyboard sounds that came out of nowhere or the times when the alarm app didn't always ring too. They try to be premium and they are good at it but all these little things makes it unusable if you wanna stay sane and aren't a complete cuck

Anyone know why my sony xperia V gets so hot so fast? I don't remember this being a thing with my old phone which was a12 samsung galaxy and cost only 200 euros. Its insane how this phone costs so much and has no calculator app, no gallery (you have to use google photos so gay) comes with no charger. Dogshit bland UI.

My iPhone 7 still ran well and it got me by, but I didn't notice how slow the phone was because iOS is really well optimised and puts user response and animation above everything else, unlike lagdroid. After using the 2020 SE I realized that apps don't take 5 seconds to load the feed and clicking emails from notification shade don't randomly crash the phone. My iPhone 7 was just struggling.

That being said, in 2024, I would try to get an iPhone 11 at least.

>>102077830
So what can't you do on iPhone that you can do on Android?

The few minor inconveniences of Apple iOS far outweighs the short life and dogshit user experience on Android.

Hey, I wanted to use sites used in OP but they don't have such parameters.

I'm looking for an used, pretty cheap and <6" phone that's not very old and have replaceable battery or unreplaceable one that's easy to open
Does such a thing exist or something or something similar?

>>102078017
the general rule for about a decade has been that Android devices need 2x the RAM of an iOS device to reach the same system performance. Hence why Android has had 12/16Gb for a while and iPhones just got 8GB last year, yeah apple's a cheap ass, but they got their shit locked down too. I'd give it a shot.

>>102078069

iOS is not like Android. It's far more optimised and stable and hence doesn't need lots of RAM to perform well. Trust me, I used to be an Apple hater, but once I used it for myself I realised what everyone was raving about. There is absolutely zero lag on iOS because it puts user input and response first. All touch responses will acknowledge instantly and animations will run smoothly for 5-8 years. It truly is superior in terms of user experience...

File management and Photo management, can sometimes be annoying, but there's always 3rd party apps that can help with Apple's lack of organisation tools.

I wouldn't think you'd need such a massive leap in power if lower end specs can accomplish so much. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on this iPad before I saw that the more expensive models have different chips as well, so I really don't know where to go from here.

I mean snapping a pic from wake. Iphone all you have to do is swipe and take the pic. On the s24 i had to wait a whole second for the camera to load and you cant take pics in quick succession cause it is busy processing the picture taken previous

Also apparently it doesn't have an SD card slot so that's a no from me. My comic library is around 30GB by itself.

Ignore the iPhone shills. Get a Pixel 9 if you want a really good camera. Get a S24 Ultra if you care about everything else. Like the other anon said, you can change the shutter speed in the settings. Look up a video on One UI 6.1 and Good Lock, there's a lot of good extras with Samsungs.

>>102078361

I've used some of the best Android's and they are terrible at responding to your touch. The software may know you touched the screen, but it does not have a separate UI thread like iOS to act on that touch. Everything is done on the main thread so the instruction set still goes in sequence and continues doing what it was doing in the background instead of doing what the user asked.

Steve Jobs was a genius who pushed for this user focused system that is vastly superior.

>>102074738
Pixel 7a or 8a.

>>102078549
There's objectively zero difference in responsiveness

Why is it that in 2019, for the time, even midrange phones took fantastic photos and videos, while in current year all I see is people complaining about their phones cameras? Not just midrangers or cheap chinkshit, I'm talking even flagships.

>>102078612
High end phones do a bunch of editing after taking a photo and it often looks like shit. Midrangers still take good photos.

>>102078407
The expensive iPads have the M chips in them, which is the same chip used in the Macbooks. They are very powerful and capable of running high end creative apps like ProCreate etc and doing complex tasks for professionals. They also have extra feature which adds to the cost... super high end displays with 120hz OLED , Face ID and more RAM for things like video editing. Most people don't need that... For basic media consumption, the cheapest iPad will do.

Then theyll be upgrading every 4 years or whenever the battery dies. This also applies to apple cause ive noticed 15PM takes worse pics than a 13PM

When there's nothing going on in the background, Pixels and Samsung flagships do really well but when there are notifications coming in or you leave the phone idle for a while, your $700 phone will behave like chink e-waste. I've experienced it on every flagship Android phone I've ever owned.

For the same price ($50), would you rather go for a lineageOS compatible phone (Sony Xperia Z5) or one with a removable battery (Samsung Galaxy S5)?
I'm leaning towards the removable battery (which would mean accepting WEBP vulnerability) because a compromized device (when the battery is inside it) is still better than an e-waste brick once the non-removable battery is definitively dead.

This is the thing that impressed me the most about iPhone after making the switch.

It's almost like pulling out a physical camera and snapping a pic. I know it's a meme and all at this point, but Apple truly does "just work". The Photos app on iOS is a clusterfuck of a disorganised mess though. Seems like it was designed for Boomers who can't understand file/folder structure so it dumps everything in the Recents view.

Computational photography. We're reaching the practical limits in lens element and probably sensor sizes, assuming we the same form factor of smartphones will be maintained. The slow creep into ever-wider lenses and apertures these past few years is a good indication that we're hitting these limits.
This is where software comes in. As everyone jumped on the AI craze train, mobile chipset makers squeezed in dedicated cores/coprocessors for AI tasks.
Smartphone manufacturers were quick to realize that they can utilize these to do AI noise removal, but this is a very intensive task, even for discreet PC GPUs. So working with smartphone harware they have to balance processing time, quality and their own incompetence at training a decent model.
I think this is where the bulk of the complaints about modern phone cameras come from. As you zoom into the finer details of the image, such as foliage or textures you see this wobbly, uncanny effect where previously you'd have either noise or "watercolor effect" of traditional noise removal algorhitms.

Android performance and User Experience is shitty compared to iOS which is more tightly integrated and coded for UX... but Android has always been more innovative giving Apple lots of ideas we take for granted. I respect that. Control centre, notification management, Widgets, Home page customisation, App Drawer etc all came from Android. iPhone would have still been an iPod with the ability to make calls if it wasn't for Android.

been using an 11 Pro since launch, but the battery is no longer holding up

>>102079645
15 pro/max on discount now, it has enough RAM for all the AI shit if you care and an excellent and efficient chip. The 16 pros will not be worth it. The RAM won't be increasing, and the cameras won't be getting significantly better. The display is getting 0.2" bigger and they are betting on the AI hype train to generate sales. It also looks like the side rails will be glossy again instead of matte titanium. The 15 Pro is as good a baseline as we have had for a while and for the next few years until we see a real redesign with the 17 Slim/18 Fold.

>>102079838
I like trying the new Pixels every year going back to the Nexus days. I do not sim swap often, I switched to an iPhone primarily in 2014 and only ever get a tad jealous of Android, sometimes set up a second line for work since I get a $1K per year phone stiped but that gets annoying. I just like having a window into Android, generally. Always want an option around if I need to spite Apple like I seem to want to do every 18 or so months. Not very rational.

For my next phone I should get an iPhone finally, just to get the other side of the story. Been an Android user ever since my first smartphone back in 2012. The only time I've repeated brands is "technically" Lenovo and Motorola, which I've used both and they're essentially one brand.
My only conern is that by the time I get enough use out of my current Samsung to warrant getting a new phone and for me to start considering an iPhone, we'll already be on the iPhone 18 or even 19 and the smartphone landscape might be drastically different compared to now.

>>102080106
maybe when you're ready to upgrade you'll still feel that way. maybe you won't. better to keep yourself informed and make the best decision you can when the time comes.

Lets just be honest. Android was raping ios for years. Then a pajeet became google ceo and android magically stagnated and ios surpassed it, and surpassed it, and did more laps on it. Theres only one way to save google and android.

this is your brain on iOS

Are 10,000mAh power banks pointless in the current year?

The standard phone has a 5,000mAh battery.
The charge efficiency is like 70% at best.
You get one full charge and a little extra at best. If you're using it while charging on the go, that drops down significantly, you might even get a full charge's worth of juice.
A 20,000mAh power bank isn't much heavier than a 10,000. In most cases where the 10,000 is 'portable' enough to use, so is the 20,000. And you get way more juice out of it. So have 10,000mAh power banks outlived their usefulnesss?

>>102080486
it's not just no more jumps, they've actively and continuously nerfed the cameras in low and mid range phones for years

my 2015 moto x play (low-midrange at the time) takes better photos than any of the low or midrange phones ive had since. far better videos too, as it had OIS, only high end phones have OIS these days.

I understand the logic, but I need something ASAP, i'm poor, and those are the cheapest options currently available near my hometown.
My absolute requirements are : 4G connectivity, at least Android 5.0, rugged enough to withstand rain exposure and antiseptic wipes (so leaned towards IP68 in my research), headphone jack.
You actually nailed it quite right with the S10 ; S10e may be a better option, the smaller the phone the happier I am because I don't watch media on my phone. Also thought about the Xperia XZ1 Compact. The "best" affordable option I can think of if I prioritize the removable battery is the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini... but none of them nearby and I'd rather have a phone before the end of the week.

Correct. Since they don't have major jumps from 1 gen to the next anymore, they are nerfing mid and low range phones on purpose to boost the flagships and justify the insane prices.

So, iPhone 16 pro or pixel 9 pro?

What are pros and cons of each?
T. Android user but kinda tempted by the apple ecosystem (my only apple product is a MacBook Pro which I fucking love)

So the Xperia 1 VI has a headphone jack, no screen notch, and bezels. What's the OS like? I'm used to Samsung OneTouch, so it can't be much worse.

This is also incorrect, OIS is available for many low end phones now, even the Samsung A25 has OIS, a feature that used to be available only in high end flagships

Read again brainlet, I'm currently using android + MacBook pro

>>102081460
Then get a fucking iphone how is that even a question

>>102081391
I'm quite impressed with Xiaomi's recent efforts with their camera software, its long exposure and astrophotography presets remove a lot of the post-processing hassle by handling the exposures and stacking well and they shoot bulb by default, which is something I haven't seen on their older/cheaper models, those had a cap at 32s exposure time.

>>102081522
Now I don't feel like it because you've been so rude

>>102081579
as the other guy who was responding to you, this post is hilarious because I was going to recommend the pixel. I only know how nice iPhone/MacBook work together because that's my work provided setup. lol

>>102081601
If you had to name 3 things you hate about the iPhone what would they be?
Same for the pixel if you want to/have one

>>102080932
i had the phone, it did have OIS

I only have minor gripes with iOS.
>back gesture implementation is worse than android, sometimes you can swipe back, sometimes you can't, and only from one side
>can't bottom-align home screen icons (addressed in iOS 18)
>swiping to bring down quick toggles/notifications have to be done from the top of the screen in their particular hotspots
I haven't had my pixel long enough to pick out anything offensive about it since the 9P XL addressed a lot of my concerns with previous pixels (shit fingerprint scanner, heat, battery life) while adding a bunch of nice to haves (very good screen, iPhone quality hand feel, excellent cameras)
that said I use neither for games or intense video recording so if you do those you can take some of my pixel praise with a grain of salt

>>102081805
Thanks for the effortpost anon. I do wonder how the iPhone and pixel compare in terms of photos and videos

>>102080106
iPhones aren't worth it. Always 10 years behind.

>>102080207
>iPhones are good because iPhones are good because iPhones are good
You're retarded circular logic with zero facts to back it up is diminishing like your battery health.

>>102081870
at this point I think the cameras have been very extensively compared. they trade blows really well except when it comes to video--specifically when you're recording video directly in a social media app vs recording it and then then uploading it to said app. iPhone wins out there consistently. pixel STILL has some video jutters to iron out with regards to video coming out juttery when you're switching between lenses
in still shots though, the top 3 all wind up looking very good.

>>102080486
Foldables that can also be used as PCs is a pretty big step.

>>102081917
also I tapped this out very hastily and realized it might be too jumbled to make sense hopefully it does I gotta go

All I need is a phone powerful enough so that I can just plug it into a monitor, connect it to a keyboard and mouse and start cooding. Then I can die happy

You're just lying at this point. Pixel won a blind camera test 3 years in a row with MBKHD who surveyed multiple cameras to thousands of voters. Pixel kicks iPhone's ass every time. iPhone's pics are too contrast-y and make pics look like paintings.

>>102081942
Samsungs have DeX mode that can turn it into a desktop. Not sure if there are any coding apps or anything though.

>>102081966
What is the point of a blind photo test when noone is there to see the real thing? Seems pretty fucking stupid and completely pointless. Iphone pics are way less processed looking than any pixel pic

>>102081908
Funny you talk about battery when pixel batteries are literally rated in the hundreds for cycles when iphones are in the thousands. And if you think an iphone doesnt have way better battery then youve never used one. Shut the fuck up

>>102081986
It's shit, that's the problem
No phone can for example currently run a full-ass IDE, let alone one with an e.g. android emulator in Android studio

>>102082014
iphone pictures look like smeared vaseline

>>102081966
>passing off a "which of these do you prefer A or B?" result as an objective measure of quality
Galaxy, iPhone, and Pixel all take good shots. Which people like best comes down to preference. I prefer pixel shots most of the time too. But it's not like you're getting a bad shooter with any of those three at this point.

>>102081793
just looked it up
pretty sure all the specs places (gsmarena, phonearena) used to report that it did

well even if it didnt, the software stabiilization was absolutely top notch none of my videos ever came out shaky. the contrast was so stark with my first phone afterwards (>5 years later), i was so baffled why my new videos were shaky, i even wondered whether covid had given me parkinsons or some neurological shit lol. but then i compared, took the same videos one after the other with new and old phone, difference was night and day. moto x play's stabilization was so good. and compared to the next couple of phones ive had, including my budget/midrange phone i bought this year. and photo quality in general was honestly better than what ive had since, i still have it, i use it as a dedicated control for a chromecast in a particular room.

no doubt in my mind they have been nerfing camera quality on cheaper phones for years, like the other anon said, to push people to buy the ridiculously priced high end phones.
~2015 was peak smartphone to me. it's been downhill since.

Nah trust me I tried basically every method imaginable. You can bypass some stuff that only checks basic safetynet integrity, but you can't fool hardware integrity with it. Fingerprint spoofing is the only thing that works.

i used to like pixel cameras until i got into actual photography
now i see how abhorrent they are. The post processing is so insane its hard to even call that a photo

only the vivo and xiaomi got really decent ones
then id say huawei then iphone then oppo then samsung then pixel and some others

It may not be a lot for brainlets but the 1 inch sensor does make quite the difference
also its really pathetic that there's barely been any difference between pixel 6 to 9
1/1.31 sensor is laughable

And samsung sensors are just objectively worse than sony

>>102083102
Not necessarily. So far they've failed to do that with the vr thing. And if it's because of price well if they make a foldable it'll be expensive too

phones are too long for it now. would want to split it down the middle and spread it out. maybe put something useful in the middle. there were a few feature phones like that back in the day.

I've seen Samsung, Sony and iPhone camera comparison videos. Sony has the most "as is" pics that sometimes don't have too much detail on busier areas. Samsung has the most accurate pictures with clarity, more consistently. iPhones just exaggerate or highlight certain areas too much.

>>102084469
Thats the stupid foldable, the one that folds into a tablet is the one that’s worth anything

I just like the fact that my phone was made by the closest thing there is to a cyberpunk dystopia where the 90% of the population who doesn't belong to the almighty corpo-class are basically in hell.
If I'm gonna own a phone, it might as well be one that feels genuine, right?

Does anyone have an android launcher that supports widget stacking? Really miss that on the pixel 9 coming from iOS. Widgets feel like such a waste of space now that I can't stack them. Also what is the best browser that also supports extensions that is basically comparable to Safari ? And finally, has anyone ever used Overcast for podcasts, and if so, what's the best android equivalent? Overcast and Safari are my big iOS sticking points. They are just too good. Overcast works as a PWA but not great.

>>102084984

You guys argue about the most menial random shit. All these phones are the same.

I use my phone, a Galaxy S7 as basically just a mobile Youtube device that I can also use to check my banking and email as well as some other lightweight shit like looking at the weather. Basically boomer-tier use case.

Dropped it today and fucked up the screen pretty badly so I'm in the market for a new one. Has anyone tried the Galaxy A15 before? Looking it up it's a budget phone but as long as it does what my S7 does I'm happy with that.

>>102065487
iphones have had adblockers and other safari extensions for almost a decade

>>102085085
Literally any phone will be fine for you. Just buy whatever’s in your budget.

>>102085224
>Literally any phone will be fine for you.
I figured this would probably be the answer (which is kind of what I hoped for). Budget's not an issue fortunately but I'm definitely not a big phone person and I can't justify paying $1000 for what $200 is perfectly capable of doing.

>>102085256

Smart Launcher has that feature but it may be pro only.

>>102084724
Wrong!!! The iPhone 17 slim lays the groundwork for the iPhone fold, supply chain rumors don't ever get the full story. Apple is also liable to make a flip and fold as there is no reason to leave sales on the table because of fold preference. A normal iPhone that folds out to be an iPhone mini is a pretty good value prop at $2K, for an Apple customer.

>>102085072
