How is it that the latest and greatest flagship sammy (S24 ultra - right) can take worse pics than even an over half a decade old (shitty) one (S9+ - left)?
>>

You're in the viewfindder, so you took no picture there. Also Pro mode has no HDR.

that's impressive how smartphones are fucking dogshit
>>
>>102344903
I took both pics; i know how they both looked in the screen, and image is faithful to that. There's zero reasons why s24 shouldn't be able to handle the sign colors. Iphone has no issues with it either.

You don't understand bro, I need my 12GHz Bad Dragon processor to play my PNG slot machine games and a 20 gigapixel camera to take badly composed shots of my $16 double bacon cheeseburger

Hdr *may* apply to saved pics, but not the image displayed on the screen; s9 had no problem correctly displaying the sign colors; s24 completely failed, and its not because of the screen.
>>
>>102345089
Because you are in Pro mode.

The phone constantly takes underexposed shots, and the viewfinder in photo mode runs at about 25FPS. It has enough time to do some lower quality real-time HDR for the viewfinder in the auto mode.

only things better on the edge 30 are the cameras (who cares) and performance (games I play run just fine on g84 anyway)
I think it's motorola's best mid-range phone on market right now.

I've had a Xiaomi Pocaphone since 2018. Sometimes the display becomes really slow, but it works fine again in a bit. I use it for listening to music and for basic apps and it works fine for that.
Except for the battery life, if I use it actively the battery drains quickly, even if I'm just listening to music. But if I go on longer trips I take a powerbank with me anyway.
I've noticed a lot of complaints with Xiaomi and MIUI, and while I've had some problems when it updated it didn't really bother me.
Overall as my first smartphone it's been very solid.

Is there any reason for me to upgrade? Are the recent Xiaomi phones any better?

Do you prefer saturated photos from cameras or more achromatic pics. I've been looking at the z-flip and the s24 and while the picture quality is nice the only main difference I can tell is slight colorization in photos on the z-flip.

Switched from Google Chrome on my android to using, first Firefox, then Fennec, and now Mull. But all of them feel sluggish when scrolling on ANY site. I tried turning off the auto font size shit and smooth scrolling (based on googling the issue), but none of those helped.

When text messaging with an iPhone, if the recipient is another iPhone it will automatically use the internet-based iMessage service
Normal text message chats are displayed as green bubbles, iMessage chats are displayed as blue bubbles
In the USA everybody except loser geeks and poorfags have iPhones, so chats between normal people are blue
A green chat is an indicator that you're talking to a subhuman

Google pixels and samsung galaxy phones have the longest os updates, and I think security updates as well.
Depending on how you interpret pic related from moto the edge 50 neo might have the longest security updates, if the 5 years of security updates are added on top of the 5 years of os updates (I doubt it though)

Recommendations for smart phones without cameras or fingerprint sensors?
>>
>>102351595
Qualcomm owns the patents to many of the technologies (4G, 5G) and designs used by these modems. It's difficult to replicate the same functionality without copying what Qualcomm already has. It's in fact so difficult that even Apple gave up trying to make their own and had to settle on paying royalties to Qualcomm to use their modems.

I'd be much more willing to consider an iPhone if the base models were just marginally cheaper and/or started at 256GB, and had at LEAST a 90Hz display. If Apple insists on being stubborn and calling 120Hz "Pro" Motion, then just slap 90Hz panels on the base models and call it "Fluid" Motion or similar Apple marketing terms bullshit.
I've graduated my bachelors this year and am starting my masters, so I'll be job hunting in the IT sector in about a year, and don't want to look unprofessional by having an old Android, albeit a flagship with better user experience than the base model iPhone.

iOS is getting better but is still less free than Android. on iOS you can now move your icons to anywhere on the screen, while with Android you can completely change your launcher to something you like.

This is a dual edged sword though, when I was on iPhone I spent less time ricing because it wasn't possible.

the base 16 is still a mostly midrange phone for the price of a flagship. pro or bust

How about something tiny and somewhat old, so it can still do smartphone things, but just isn't very fun to use? Will still solve the issue of spending too much time on your phone. I'm talking something like a first gen iPhone SE.

Hey guys not a phone question but has anyone with an old car tried installing a bluetooth speaker in their car to use spotify with?

My car has no aux in and FM transmitters in my city are fucked as all frequencies have noise in them.

I don't want to do a huge mod in my car and rip out the whole console to install an aftermarket chink tablet that connects to the car's innards either.

I don't know if my best bet is a BT speaker that fits in a cupholder or if there's a better way to fit it in?

I meant the iPhone SE from 2016 or so, which supports LTE and should work with basic apps like web browser and youtube. If it's not what you're looking for then sure. Not familiar with dumbphones (midwit phones? they can use youtube and facebook I guess) so I can't help.

First point can't be remedied. Second and third could, but that would bring the price way up, because then it would be considered "refurbished" or "like new" instead of just "used".

i posed to someone who I assume isn't you a thought experiment wherein they imagine someone of status "unfolding a phone" because i propose it would be difficult to not have an uneasy reaction to that as it, as the person suggested, is gaudy. however when i imagine a brown person doing it i think to myself, yes that looks about right, because brown people are generally low class or have tendencies to behave in low class ways

iPhones below the 15 Pro are obsolete now anyway. They'll never be feature complete with the rest no matter how many updoots they get.

Do you buy new cars? Used phones are a gamble but most normies use cases and screen protectors so you get a pretty pristine device most of the time. Also costs less so if you use it naked not a big deal if you have to replace it.

>>102359222
iOS updates seem to actually add useful features, and I'm saying that as someone who's been an Android user since my first smartphone 12 years ago. Last important addition to Android was gesture navigation half a decade ago.
Essentially what I want is for my phone to remain up-to-date and receive all the latest software features that newer phones might have, which is why my entire point was wanting a upper-midrange priced brand new iPhone with a 120Hz screen. A real Android killer. Otherwise why jump to Apple instead of using Samsung, who put a 120Hz OLED even on their $200 A25, while Apple is still using 60Hz panels on the base model 16s.

Not all those features get ported to older devices. If you are buying anything below 15 Pro you don't get the stupid Apple AI stuff. Bunch of other stuff has left people using older devices behind. Feature updates are nice but security updates are more important. Only Android OEMs competing with Apple are Google and Samsung.

but a15 is so much more laggy going off of reviews, and it doesnt seem that good sincd everything about it is so slow, cheapest but i play games on my phone so it seems kinda bad

Are you sure you would not be using any other features IF your phone had them?
If you work in an office with limited/monitored internet then DeX is nice alternative to bringing your own tablet/laptop.
If you read books/manga then flipping pagers with pen button is peak comfy.
If you use smartwatch and wireless headphones than unified hardware system means less hassle with pairing, can use same headset on both devices, can switch music player from phone to watch etc.

its likely he's an incel if he is asking that question but I will also say cheap shitty phones are unreliable. you have a "redpilled" way of think that as an incel you are naturally drawn to thinking in. "hhhm stupid normies buying $1000 latest generation iphones why don't they just buy the zhao mifung excellent 32 pro for $150 it's got everything you would need". The downside to these chinkshit phones is the qc is a crap shoot, one batch will be great, the other will have serious flaws like the camera lens fogging in the xiaomi 14s, updates are an after thought, they are gigabloated and they fucking put ads in their high end and low end phones alike. whereas your average normnigger is buying a $1000 phone every 3 to 4 years, using it, getting his money out of it and not wasting his time changing the rom or searching forums on how to disable ads or fix inevitable lag that comes with being a shitty phone

unless you are genuinely poor (i.e. you live outside the US) or you are a trucel and you literally just use your phone for calling your therapist, pizza store and for 2fa authentication get a more premium phone, it could be an s series samshit or a pixel but not this chink shit.

Bro I dunno how I survived work before Dex, it made work 1000x more bearable. I used to hate zoomers for always being on their phones at work but now I get it.

You'll probably want an soc at least fast enough so your general experience isn't laggy, decent build quality would help a lot too, ip rating is a rough way of judging that.
