Is there any modern equivalent for an xperia xz2 compact? >small size (~5") but high screen to body ratio>rather high end hardware, camera, batteryI searched with the links, but apparently small phones aren't even being made any more?

Samsung is becoming extremely popular. Teenagers on TikTok are making meme videos about their Galaxies. How long till Samsung surpasses Apple in popularity?
>>102384075three
Why shouldn't I buy a Fairphone?
>>102384494Do you care about thermals, performance and battery life? If not, then get the Pixel for the camera. If yes, get a Samsung or wait for next year when Google will finally use TSMC chips in the Pixel 10 lineup, for real for real this time trust the plan...
>>102384567thermals, performance, battery life are not concerns on the pixel 9 pro.
>>102384494If you're in america it's debatable, if you're in europe then the pixel is definitely better
>>102384502If they get too popular they'll go the way of huawei
Pixels went to shit when they stopped using flagship snapdragons
>>102384638No. They are still more than fast enough for daily tasks, they just won't run a couple unoptimized games quite as well as Snapdragon. With the 10 they will partner with TSMC and hopefully it will result in better thermals and raw performance. But honestly performance isn't an issue, even on my two year old Pixel 7
>>102385443You don't play chinkslop gachas, unlike me.
>>102385541That's true. I'm more concerned with updates than running Genshit. Most other games not from that company run fine.
Do A2x phones get laggy if I don't fill the storage up?
MissingThePixel 4 points 1 year ago It's genuinely impressive how iPhones processing gets WORSE with each newer phone. In a blind test that LMG did people preferred the old Smart HDR algorithm of the iPhone XR than the 14 (iirc).Plus, we've got a new high MP sensor but the processing does not take advantage of it whatsoever, and distant detail is muddy and oversharpened despite the RAWs being really crisp even when cropping in A LOTThe colour rendition has no soul whatsoeverImaginary_Slice950 2 points 1 year ago It is anecdotal, but when I look at the older photos I did with XR a few years ago and then SE, I really enjoy them much more than the ones I did with my current one (13 Pro). Videos - another story, apparent progress. But the photos while objectively better, numerically speaking, are not as pleasing to the eyes compared to what I was getting from older iPhones. It seems Apple gave up its original approach to photo processing (that was not technically ideal but produced a very lovely end result) to a conventional race for "numbers"

My Moto g(20) is almost three years old.Haven't noticed any changes in performance or similar; just a reduced battery life.Any reason to get a new phone just for security, given the outdated build?
>>102382522TREMENDOUS fuck up if true
>>102387024No, only upgrade if you want a better phone. Updating just because it's not getting security patches while you're fully content with it otherwise is dumb.
>>102387024wow motos actually get Google Play System updates... my a51 is still stuck on August 2023 for some reason
>>102384579Yes they are, they are subpar compared to other flagships despite costing similar.
>>102387024Get a Samsung, nigga.Motorolas are outdated trash.
>>102387024You're fine as long as you aren't going around installing random shady apks and whatnot. I was on an android 10 phone up until last year with no issues, using my banking apps etc.
>>102387116the thermal issues were fixed with the 9 series. the performance doesn't matter at all except in the case of chink gambling games. the battery life is shorter than iphone/galaxy but still fucking highblanket statements that all of them are bad in the 9 series makes you look like a retard desu

I wish the S23 FE was good. I really love the purple version of it. Picked up the White/Cream S23 instead back in January, great decision, but I'm still upset about the lack of cool colors.
>>102384494Save your money and get a note 20 ultra from eBay and a galaxy watch 4. If you dig you can get both for a little over 300. The note is based af and has a year left of security updates. But even then if you're not a retard you can get away with no security updates for a while longer

>>102387780>apparently they're using some weird processor Qualcomm made for IoT devicesYes, they did that to get 10 years of updates.FP5 is an IoT SD778G, supported until 2031, while FP4 (750G) is until 2028.You see if that's enough for you.>what the fuck is an Unisoc?Spreadtrum rebranded some years ago. Mostly low end chips.

>>102389321Only available in EU I take it? Nice to see they are still trying, but disappointed they won't let us North Americans have an alternative to the duopoly.
>>102390457>We start with sales in European Union, UK, Norway and Switzerland.>startI don't know if that means Europe exclusive or not though. You'll have to check their forum.
>>102390553I had to use a VPN server in Europe to buy Sailfish X for my Xperia which almost instantly broke in my pocket sitting down pressed against the arm rest of my chair. Digitizer busted on bottom half of the screen. Could have maybe fixed it but I just gave up on Sailfish.
>>102382390That's easily Motorola's worst phone in their current line up.

What phone should I get if I want to avoid phones that are popular with jeets? I've been looking at the Motorola Edge 40 Neo but it seems to be 90% indians discussing it online.

>>102382390Is this a non 5G version or something?
>>102390797this, spare us from your retarded posts.
>>102390797I guess you're right anon. So I'll ask instead if anybody here has an Edge 40 and can tell me if it's been good for them, since most of the opinions I find are from jeets and I don't trust them.

im upgrading from my poor iphone 7all i want is a better screen, more battery and i assume any newer phone will have a better camera soi guess on the upper end i was deciding between 13pro and a s23 ultra(maybe) *both not new nigga im not spending like 1800 bucks on a phonebut open to suggestions
>>102391046If all you want is a better screen and more battery, I don't see why those are your two options. The Samsung Galaxy A55 sounds right up your wheelhouse, but you will have to see whether the camera is an upgrade (it's considered weak in a modern context). Idk how good the iPhone 7 camera is
>>102391065reason im considering those is just a one and done decision i dont have to give a fuck about for another 7 yearsby better screen i mean not 60hz at least, better pixel density/ higher res, but the refresh rate is the big one
>>102391065>>102391087and a quick look shows that seems to have what im lookin for so there ya go, spose ill add that to the consideration list
>>102391098If you're a burger or a North American, you'll have to worry about band support. The A55 works with T-Mobile and MVNOs that use T-Mobile towers, and that's it. For a phone with good NA support, look into the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024.
>>102391111nah straya
>>102391111>The A55 works with T-Mobile and MVNOs that use T-Mobile towers, and that's it.>samsung>doesn't work in ALL major carriersWhat the actual fuck

>>102391175They withheld the A55 in NA because they wanted us to buy their utterly garbage S23 FE
>>102391185im not hugely fussed about the camera, just battery and screen(and processor i guess), i just assumed anything more modern will have a better camera than a phone from 2016so im gonna compare that to the 13 pro i guess, since they're somewhat similar in price here (refurb)
>>102391265https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_13_pro-review-2331p5.php
>>102390823I don't think there's a non-5G version of the power this year. If you buy a Moto G Power 2024, it'll have 5G support.
>>102391839I asked because I didn't know why it was the OP. It's a pretty old phone and one that flies under the radar
>>102391864don't think there's much rhyme or reason to these ops anyways unless there's recent news but we already had an iphone and huawei op this week
>>102389453More durable than usual or just a good quality phone? New or used? Generally if you can get a phone with an SD8+G1 chip or higher, those should perform well for years to come. The Pixel 8 and higher should also be decent, not as good or efficient as those phones above, but long support and a clean OS. And of course theres also graphene.
>>102388245I was thinking about the green one but the slightly tinted bezels put me off and the. I chose the black one.
>>102392163You bought a phone with the housefire 8 Gen 1 in 2024? I hope you're in Europe and got the Exynos version.
>>102391864>>102391958Might be because you can pick it up for like $40 right now in the us
>>102392425Fair enough. It's a really good phone for any price under $200, let alone $40
>>102382390Behold! I scored a new Unihertz Jelly Pro for $25 earlier this week. It was listed as locked and "Parts Only". This thing is stupid lol.

if you were getting a new one would you get s23 ultra or 24 ultra
>>102393361I feel like the modern samsung phone lasts so long there's hardly reasons to upgrade besides battery life. Get the s24u
>>102393324
>>102393361The S24 Ultra will get 7 years of update while the S23 should be only 4 I believe (if you care to stay with the phone that long). But it depends on what price you get for either, they are all good.
>>102393443>>102393526how does pricing change when the new ones drop? im going to canada in january and would like a new phone before then but if i save a few hundred id rather waitits a lot of money here in oz
Posting just to vent a bit and seek advise:My Zenfone 9 is dead (I had a brain fart and pierced the battery while fixing a loose cable) and I'm so done with it...I loved the size, screen quality and smoothness, yet it never played nice with my carrier, calls were always an issue and battery life was mediocre.If my old Mi 9T pro wasn't so worn out and dated (custom roms are unstable shit in this day and age), I would just use it as my daily.I can't get any Xperia or the Snapdragon S24, I'd have to settle with ExyshitTLDR: I need a reliable, durable phone that is sub 6.4", smooth as fuck (never game on my phones), has a pretty screen and great battery life for less than $650 USD>is Mediakek good now? or are their modems still crap?>any suggestions for narrow phones that aren't foldables?

For the first time in my life I'm considering joining the itoddler train because 16 pro max+airpod is still cheaper than my $4k hearing aid.
>>102382409THIS. Smartphones reached their final form around five years ago and it's not just minor incremental updates every year to keep the normies buying (which even they are no longer doing as much).I bought a Pixel 7 when it was released and it still works perfectly, I plan to use it until it's no longer usable. Until then, I couldn't care less about what new phone comes out and don't understand why anyone else does either.

I bought my first Android device since ~2013 recently and would like to post a brief review, as there don't seem to be many online for this device and it may interest someone. The device is an Onn 11" Tablet Pro (2023). My intended use for the device is reading comic books, and the review will reflect that. Onn is Walmart's in-house technology brand. I paid $139. I've had it for a week.It's got an 11" 60hz IPS LCD with 2000x1200 resolution. The LCD is very nicely laminated to the glass, panel gap is minimal. It's not perfect, but extremely nice given the price. Color quality and brightness aren't great, but acceptable for reading comic books in a moderately lit space. Minimum brightness is a bit bright for my preference. Bezels are thin.Touch sensitivity feels a bit 'off' compared to what I'm used to. I'm unsure if this is a device specific issue or just me being used to iOS.It's built okay, but does not feel nice to hold. It's too thin, a bit too long, the edges are too sharp, and the metal finish feels bad. At least it isn't a fingerprint magnet.It does not feel particularly durable, and I treat it gingerly as a result. I would not hand it to a child unless I was alright it it breaking.Storage is 128gb and it has a microSD card slot. Good enough.It runs Android 13, seemingly nearly bone-stock. The Walmart app was preinstalled, but can be uninstalled. There is zero other Walmart integration anywhere and zero ads, which, for an Amazon Fire tablet competitor, is surprising and nice to see.Wifi works, and is surprisingly fast for an 802.11ac device.Performance is good enough for reading comics.It comes with a USB-C charging block and cheap feeling USB-C cable.In conclusion: It's an excellent $139 comic book machine.
>>102395797alldocube is better, they just released a newer version thats 90hz and large screen and 10k mah
>>102395872It doesn't seem better for reading comics, and it costs more. Looks cool though!
>>102395922bigger screen, higher resolution and more nits are all better for reading comics, and its only 35 dollars more and thats not including the rest of the specs that are better than onn
>>10239597511" is already quite large, a 12.1" device would be a downgrade for me. 90hz and a brighter screen would be nice to have, but not in exchange for an even larger device.
>>102382390Which audio tuning and speaker system is the best with smartphones and sounds great for you, Hi-Res Audio (which usually or often is also Dolby Atmos) or DTS X/DTS X Ultra?Though sometimes in some phones, especially more recent Infinix Phones, there's also "tuned by JBL". And in some other phones like the Xiaomi Mi 12 phones and Blackview rugged phones I've also seen "tuned by Harman Kardon."Which sound system and tuning do you like or think is the best for phones?
>>102396203I have phones with both. The problem with dts is that when there's bass in the song you can hear a weird volume difference as it tries to push the speaker to reproduce that sound. Assuming all effects are disabled, but you just keep the speaker tuning enabled.
Is the iPhone 14 still a smartphone? Only has 6GB of RAM. Most $200 Android phones have more than that now.

>>102397020btw it's Poco X6 Pro 12GB / 512GB
>>102394583When another anon was sperging about le security patchlevels, I went to check and it was quietly updated to Aug 2024. cool
>>102397147Is that better than iPhone 14/15? It has more RAM.
>>102394736Xiaopoo qualityI think the other obscure chinese brands like umidigi don't have that happen
>>102397020>>102397075>tfw Amazon just resells stuff bought from Aliexpress and Alibaba>>102397168Nta but I also have that phone. Definitely a far cry from an iphone but I ain't paying more than 2x the Poco's price just to get a 128gb iPhone 14.
>>102396774iOS optimization makes the ram count for more, as opposed to android
>>102396203>tuned by JBLsounds like a downgrade
So who got OneUI 6.1.1 yet?I'm in Yoorop but doesn't seem to have dropped for my S23U yet
no-gsi crdroid 10.2, civilization 6 crashes without google play services! Am I forced to install fucking gapps? My old laptop can’t handle Civ 5 and shuts down due to heating, previously on MIUI 12 my phone has stable 60fps on a large map in civ 6
unciv hurts my eyes and earscrdroid with gapps hears ridiculous so I'm forced switch to pixel experience civilization is last game that gives me dopamine
>>102393711Xiaomi 13>>102396203None. Unless you stick it up your ear canal, a smartphone speaker will sound like shit, any differences won't matter.
>>102398088Isn't it amazing how phones are stronger than computers nowadays?>>102398211There are differences, such as loudness etc, and all the speaker tests say "this model sounds tinny. this model is rich in bass. this other is a great allrounder" and so on

>>102398349I've noticed a few differences in speaker music versus headphone music, but they aren't dealbreakers.
>>102382390Huawei mate 10 pro is slowly going its way after 6 years of service. Any suggestions? I want to keep it under 600€ possibly and get better hardware overall (old phone has 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 4000mAh).On KiMovil it seems the better offer for Globla market is the realme GT 6, in general it seems a good phone but I dunno about the cameras.
>>102382390How much RAM do you really need if you're not into gayming?
>>102383153> Is dex actually good? The concept sounds really coolNever actually used it.It requires expensive cables and dock station that eliminates all "on the go concept.
How often do you take pictures with your phone?
>>102399407If you not strictly limited on a budget, 12gb is a must. 8gb is barely minimum.
>>102399756My One 5g Ace says 4gb works just fine.
>>102387024I think that your Android version is susceptible to lockscreen bypass (ignoring RCE for a moment).
>>102399756Wow the russian train looks modern. This is a chinese one for comparison
>>102399724I started photography as a hobby because of my phone

>>102399270bump
>>102399724Never. I live in a third world shithole where there's nothing worthy photographing. Maybe if I were in Europe, I'd do that.
>>102399944Checked, sadly
>>102399944Even in third world shit holes there's stuff worthy of taking pics. Picrel for example. An anons neighbor had a mortar stuck in his roof that didn't explode.

>>102394561I am unironically ready for RCS as an American
I want the absolute best phone there is right now, what should I get?
>>102401274Why do you guys prefer small phones? Phones are no longer made just to make calls. It's a mini computer. I want it big.
>>102401674Galaxy S24 Ultra by far.
is it true that women wont date you if you dont have an iphone?
>>102394496Boost Mobile has a plan dedicated for Galaxy series. You can upgrade yearly i believe. They have one for iPhone as well.
>>102401720What's wrong with smol?>>102392884>>102392944
>>102401720You know what, fuck it. I'm getting one of those tiny phones that can check email and play spotify and not much else. I don't need apps spamming me with notifications or shittier versions of games, I can just check that shit on a laptop.
>>102382390Would using the display adhesive strips work for the battery too? (iPhone 12 Pro) I'm half-way done through a moving the logic board to a new enclosure but realized I don't have adhesive for the battery which I'll need. Otherwise I guess double sided tape?
>>102401919>pic related>anon you always on ya damn pc>anon you always on ya damn laptop>anon you always on ya damn phone>anon you always on ya damn vr headsetOld man yells at clouds moment
>>102401770This could be the case in America, but if she takes you only due to an iphone, she's a golddigger.
The Z-Flip would be the perfect phone if it was slightly wider
>>102383153Plenty of third party apps have no fucking idea how to scale for desktop screen dpi. All stock apps work perfectly and have specific horizontal UI with advanced features.>>102399565Hasn't been like that since like first major upgrade after its introduction.DeX now works over any random alt mode to DP or alt mode to HDMI cable, or any miracast receiver (basically any modern TV has one) (NOT the same as chromecast receiver) or with windows software over any usb cable or wifi.
>>102399724Multiple times per day.I work with airgapped systems and lans and it's a lot less effort to take picture of the screen than to extract a screenshot from tightly secured os if I need to make a bug report etc.
>>102401243>>102401720Where we are going we don't need screens
>>102401113You just need a skin on the back because it's too fucking slippery
I'm glad all the Galaxies look the same now because it gives the impression that my A34 is not inferior to the S series.
>>1024017205-6 inch screen is ideal for using with one hand. Anything bigger and you have to do finger contortions and gymnastics to access the whole screen real estate.
>>102402245Wait until you see the matte ones. They are impossible to grip.
>>102401283Never buy low-end Samsungs. Only viable A series is A5*.
This is what peak smartphone looks like
>>102382390Anyone else scalping the new iPhone? In my place retards are willing to buy the new phones for quite a bit more $$$ lmfao.There's always a shortage of pro models for a few months after launch.
I have to hotspot to my laptop from my S23 for a while. Is it a good idea to open the menu of an emulator while plugged in and "pause PD charging" is turned on, while hotspotting, so that the battery stays at like 50% or whatever and doesn't charge or discharge while I'm working on my laptop?
>>102402693Yes
I can't get over the idea of losing Termux but I'm still thinking about getting an iPhone because Google basically killed rooting already anyway and is waging a war on sideloading now. But I use Termux just enough times a year that losing it would be devastating.
>>102401258what? I don’t see anything. take your meds
>>102402911Yeah haha... there's nothing there. haha. ha...
Will ios 18 brick any phones tomorrow
>>102402693Yes, its made exactly for situations like that.
My "ip68" Pixel kept in a fucking otterbox its whole (1 year) life died like a fucking bitchnigger after wading in a lake, Google has permanently lost me as a customer. What's the least shit between Samsung & Apple? Price isn't an issue, just want a phone that delivers its stated specs. Are the Indian iphones still covered in shit?
>>102403490which pixel was it?
>>102403540I'm going to take a wild guess and say 5
>>102403490Samsung.If you're worried about a poo-laden iphone, then I suggest you to buy 15 or earlier.
hey has apple figured out why their screens randomly show vertical lines from tip to ass and suddenly die yet
>>102403586If they're often green, that has been sighted in Androids too.I wouldn't call it an epidemic or plague.
>>102403490My S21U was dropped into a fountain and nothing happened to it. My S23U was dropped into the sea and nothing happened to it.
>>102403557>>102403540Pixel 7
>>102382390are there any $300 phones that have Motorola tier software (as in, just vanilla android with no bullshitware) but actually decent cameras? Samsung has way better cameras than anything else at that price point BUT you have to deal with their bullshitware.
>>102403710Do Samsungs still have full homo emojis? Literally switched to Pixel in the first place because of that gay shit
What are the chances the S25 Ultra comes with 16gb standard?
>>102403829You can view all the emojis they've had so far here https://emojipedia.org/samsungIn late 2023, they redesigned them.
>>102402886What do you use it for? If it's just SSH you can use Termius on iOS
>>102403817Oneplus Nord N30 5g
>>102404060So they're still gay as fuck, gotcha.
>>102404076>Replace your perfectly working just fine shell with Cloud SaaS slopThis is why everyone hates iToddlers. I just haven't decided if I hate this mentality more than I hate Google yet.
>>102404436>>102404076Don't listen to him, just use ServerCat
>>102382409NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MY NEW IPHONE HAS MORE CAMERAS AND IS 5% FASTER AT AI THAN PREVIOUS MODEL, THIS IS REAL INNOVATION
>>102404077sadly that manufacturer does not reach my 3rd world poopsock. I could get one through amazon but I would have to deal with band checks. Not impossible to do but I'd still rpefer a "local" alternative. Here's a list of manufacturers that I can buy locally.
>>102382390I can't decide between the pixel 9 pro fold and the Galaxy z fold6. One has more ram, the other has better clock speeds. Which is preferable on a smartphone? Pixel 9 seems to win in every department except clock speed
>>102404650Pooxel 9 has stock android so it doesn't need the extra clock speed for all the modifications on topBut it's also stock android
>>102404726At a glance the Samsung specs (left) seem better, am I retarded?
>>102404739I mean in the end it really depends on what you wanna do with it? If you wanna play games or emulate shit, go for the Z Fold because Mali GPUs are still garbage
>>102404436>>102404466https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-shell/id1473805438This is a "local" shell.>a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device.

>>102404771>What you wanna do with itI don't play games but I do a bunch of downloads and uploads for work and constantly have multiple apps running.
>>102404781Then either one is fine, honestly. You're not gonna notice a huge difference between the two.
>>102404773That looks like an acceptable solution.
I still use an XZ1 Compact (4.6 inch 16:9).Thinking of getting a Nothing Phone 2a (6.7 inch 20:9).Is Nothing Phone 2(a) any good?I wanted to get an iPhone 13 Mini since it's the same exact size as the XZ1 Compact, but I just fucking hate Apple.
>>102404793Yeah, I am probably going to go with the s24 ultra
is the pixel 9 pro worth it? is the pro or pro xl better?are there any blatant bugs or errors or glitches with it right now?i don't like that assistant was replaced with their shitty llm that seems to suck and not do as much as assistant used to
>>102382390samsung is buggin out with their pricing rn, just ordered a 1Tb navy blue Fold6 for $1087+tax with no trade-in. would have been 824$ if i traded in my pixel fold so I decided to keep it, will probably bless one of my friends with it for 300$
>>102405370only thing i've encountered of note is that scrolling in some apps can be a bit jagged, though reports are that it's cleared up in the android 15 betaif you play mihoyo games you'll find the gpu's performance underwhelminghaving a great time with my 9 XL overall though
Got my Moto g84 5G a few days ago. The price for performance and feature ratio is actually very good. The only thing I'm fussy about is the fact that the battery could be 1000mAh bigger. Other than that it has it all:>p-oled 1080p 120hz DCI-p3 screen>256GB ROM 12GB RAM>Snapdragon 695 5G (tho not a powerful chipset, it works well in day to day use)>SD card slot single sim or dual SIM>3.5mm audio out (Dolby Atmos if you're into that) >Almost clean Android 14 (slight Motorola mods applied)All that for almost $250Still need to test out the cameras tho. Although I don't think /g/ uses their cameras as often lol
>>102382390is there a tablet general?whats a good upgrade from a samsung tab s6 og? for reading and video and web browsing. and nomad sculpt.
>>102402504A3x became viable starting with the A34.
>>102402117> over any random alt mode to DP or alt mode to HDMI cableHow many USB to HDMI cables do you have?That's the answer.
>>102405791The Moto G64 was what the Moto G Power 5G 2024 should have been>IPS LCD 120Hz>Dimensity 7025 (WAY better than the Dimensity 7020)>has a 12GB RAM version>Also has a 3.5mm jack and micro sd cardAlso, the Snapdragon 695 is utter shit on my OnePlus Nord N30 5G. It's a testament to how good Moto's software is if you're having a smooth experience
I completely forgot that modern Samsung phones don't have a headphone jack. I guess using my s10+ for 5 years has spoiled me but also I now have to wait a week now to get an adapter shipped to me so no music in my car.
>>102404650get the samsung, i had a pixel fold from preorder and loved the outer display form factor and thinness but the performance and software was way inferior to samsung. now this year they ruined the form factor and the weird bezel on one side looks so poopy wheras the z fold looks fire with almost symmetrical thin bezels inside and out and a better square design, and a way better processor
>>102406164I have alt mode in and miracast in my monitor but that's irrelevant to original post>It requires expensive cablesfalse, any $5 cable off amazon/aliexpress will dogone are the days of proprietary dex-only cables made by samsung for $50>and dock station false unless you really have to connect multiple pieces of wired hardware for whatever reason, but then again chinesium dock is like $10 unlike deprecated dex-station

>>102396203some LG phones had tuning by Bang & Olufsen, that plus their quad DAC were actually pretty nice, a shame they died
>>102401243so the Plus models?
Should I upgrade from the S22 plus to the Google pixel pro 9 XL? Or wait for the S25 series?
Is there any appreciable benefit, in terms of battery longevity, to charging my phone REALLY slowly? I found that the USB-C port on my motherboard will output up to 15W, whereas the USB-A ports will only output 2.5W max. Even at 2.5W my phone charges "fast" enough for me, so should I use those ports? Or does it just not matter at all beyond a certain point?
>>102408293Depends. If you intend to keep your phone for 6 plus years, then yes. If you change it in 2 to 3 years, then no.
>>102408293what matter is that you unplug the USB cable whenever it finishes charging
>>102388802You just have to do the same thing I do now on a Samsung, I installed microg for YouTube revanced I think. Only things that apparently don't work are Google pay and android auto, if you need those then too bad
>>102408293In general, the lesser the power, the better for the battery, try to keep it between 20 and 80% at all times and it'll last for years. That being said, I wouldn't be so patient, and 15W is good, won't generate much heat.
which android phones have the least amout of preinstalled bloatware apps?
>>102408293unlike some anon from this or the previous threadmy mi 9t pro still works. i used samsung's slow 15w charger and not the included 30(?)w one
pretty much this >>102408372
>>102408914>20 and 80% at all timesTo add to this, charging to 100% once in a while is okay as long as you charge it and then use it right away. For example, unplugging it at 100% just as you're leaving home and then using it at high brightness for Waze navigation in the car. Keeping it at high % for long periods of time, such as when it's sitting on the charger all night, is what actually does a lot of damage to the battery. Doing a full cycle to 100% once in a while when it's necessary for a long day trip or something is fine.
>>102409095Some brands, like Asus and Samsung give you the option to cap the charge at 80%, if you enable this and leave the phone to charge at night there won't be any damage(I think).
Best android phone for 600$?
>>102409117>won't be any damageThat's true. I'm talking about the times you need those last 20% to last a long and demanding day.
>get iphone>can't listen to HiRes Tidal unless you buy Apple Airpods® Pro™ (even if you already have $200 heaphones that support LDAC>can't use my current smartwatch because it's WearOS and they don't have any integration with it (so buy an Apple Watch ;))) )>can't fuck around with coding for iOS unlike Android with Android Studio (unless you buy a Mac ;) )Apple are such fucking greedy cunts, holy shit. You literally have to buy everything else again if you switch to them.
>>102409133Yeah, I agree. The best compromise is to use the full battery and the fast charging only when you actually need them.
I'm at my country's capital for university stuff and everyone on public transport has modern iPhones, and it's mostly Pro models with the 3 cameras and dyanmic island too. I'm talking everyone from little kids in like 5th grade, to my fellow university students, to even auntie and uncle type characters.>tfw living the clown life with my samsung
>>102409120I demand an answer you geeks
>>102406188Use the phone speaker, it's louder than you think.
>>102409120>>102409460Can you find a brand new S23 or S24 for that price?>Snapdragon S24 > Snapdragon S23 = Exynos S24
>>102409144It's only going to get worse. They're running out of ways to nickel and dime their consumer base and they'll have to invent some more bullshit soon. I'm predicting an iOS yearly fee for "advanced" features, like Apple Intelligence.
>>102409301It makes sense, they have to use public transport because they've spent their car budget on iToys
>>102409495How about bricking the phone for anything besides the most basic features like calls, sms and taking 1x photos with the main camera after the 2 year warranty period, and then force you to either finance a new iPhone or pay an extension fee monthly.
Sup, I need an iPhone for work, not really looking to do anything with it other than that and use it to make calls/messages/WhatsApp/maybe the occasional photo.Is an SE 2022 a bad idea for my use cases? I found some refurbished for like $200.
>>102409621Can you find an 11 for cheaper and in good battery health? Otherwise just get the SE3 and beware the battery life or carry a charger or battery bank.
>>102405791I am close to getting this, but the sole reason I'm holding back is because looking at Android 15 it surprisingly looks like an actually massive upgrade that I'd be willing to buy a phone that will actually get it over on that won't. Otherwise I'd specifically buy this because it seems to do tons of stuff more expensive phones don't.I'd love to be able to just pay more for something slightly better but otherwise on parity, but that doesn't seem to exist where I am.
>>102409301you live in turkey or somewhere like that where people have severe status anxiety?
>>102410104An European country which borders Turkey, but close enough. People see iPhones as status symbols here too. Bunch of my friends swapped over to iPhones as soon as they started working and became able to afford them.>Why spend 1200 euro on an Android, when I can buy an iPhone 15 Pro for that price?
>>102410127yeah balkan so bulgaria or greecepeople are too broke to afford city penthouses but they can afford passable gucci knock offs and iphones, yeah it's sad although iphones are good phones I won't say they are not
