>>102410161is buying a xiaomi from ali express (to australia) safe? how do I avoid getting scammed and deal with warranty issues? or do I buy from an australian reseller based here?
>>102410159They're great phones for people who will make use of their features like playing demanding 3D chinkslop gachas like ZZZ or WuWa, fully using the impressive camera software to take good photos and great videos or being comfy with the whole ecosystem thing and sharing files between their devices seamlessly.The average iPhone user here just uses it for social media, calls and music. You know, the basics that you can do smoothly even on a 3-4 year old refurbished iPhone or a 250 euro midrange chinkphone. They overpay for features they don't need and that's why I'm upset.
>>102410197good post.yeah I am balkan too that's why I understand the poorfag 85-90 IQ mentality of these people> You know, the basics that you can do smoothly even on a 3-4 year old refurbished iPhone or a 250 euro midrange chinkphoneyeah, avg iq of bulgaria and entire region is 90, and most smart people are in EU or America, so the people over there do shit like this. And again I don't think there's anything wrong with buying nice stuff, you know buy nice or buy twice as they say, its just funny because an a-series samsung is plenty good as you said for basic shit like that.
>>102410161NOT smartphone related, but I wanna buy or plan to buy a new wearable that will synchronise with my current phone or the next phone I might buy.What fitness wearable is good enough to measure hiit workouts very closely?My current smartwatch has once, while recording, jumped from 152 bpm to 172.That*s bullshit and we all know it.So is there a wearable that can track something like this:- 3 exercises back to back with no rest unless I get to my goal reps within the minute. The remainder is for rest and moving to the next exercise.- These 3 exercises are a cycle. I train to do 10 cycles.- if I mange 10 cycles, I increase the reps by 1 and start at 5 cycles.- if I do not, I abort the workout at that point.- if I manage the full reps for 10 cycles, I progress on weights and start at 5 reps per cycle at 3 cycles.the average bpm is either 150-182 by the watch, but since witnessing the real life monitoring, I got very frustrated.My aim is to save up money to buy a garmin watch with the next generation of sensors.
How does the ram expansion change the long term usability of a phone?I am currently trying to save up 200€ for a new phone to buy and replace my redmi phone that has gone down to 80% battery capacity.However, I am working with a company that is using Microsoft authenticator and their products and I need to keep up the supported android version that intune accepts.
>go to big city>immediately hit by RCE by asshole who is impossible to find>lose datas and moneysWhat do?
>>102410552>ram expansionYou mean that feature where you use the storage as a pagefile? Doesn;t help at all, it's just a meme, even on UFS4 devices. Don't skimp on actual RAM if you can.
>>102410662Got it. I will make sure I get the most ram for my money.
Are there any spiritual successors to the A52s or is it still the go-to?
Do you guys know if there's any senior phone out there (physical keys), with contact picture support?Something like pic related but portable.It's for a lady with dementia.
>>102411514>With dementiaHow the fuck is she supposed to recognize anyone's face? t. grandma had dementia. Didn't know who any of us were, saw crocodiles in the hallway, chickens under her bed, had conversations with people on TV, thought the shit in her diaper was chocolate
>>102410161Is this the best phone for like 600 bucks? Or is there something even better? I aim for the 16GB RAM + 512GB Storage combo for the GT6, but I guess 12GB RAM could be enough too. I wouldn't however skimp on Storage.Also, how easy is to rice an Android phone nowadays? Is KLWP and similar still used? Any updated guide on this?
>>102411727>7 inch chinkphoneGet a Samsung.
>>102411727Forgot pic
>>102411762Why? For what I can gather from KiMovil a GT6 and a S24 are essentially comparable. Is it the cameras? Or just averison to chink shit?
>>102411779I wouldn't trust a chinese brand to have stable software and provide timely updoots. Also it's fucking huge, but that's more of a personal preference.
Why can't I buy a smartphone without a camera or a fingerprint sensor anymore?
>>102411795because (you) and like 3 other guys on /g/ are the only people who would ever want a camera-less phone
>>102411793I have a six years old chinkphone (huawei mate 10 pro) that still works and has Google shit I need for study, Is that bad security-wise?
>>102411795
>>102411818And? I'd pay more for a phone will less features if it was actually what I wanted.>>102411865Not good enough for work.
>>102411889https://thenophone.com/products/nophone-original
>>102411820Yes. That phone is probably old enough to have a lockscreen bypass and will definitely have RCE risk.
>>102411795What do you have against Fingerprint sensors, my guy?
>>102411664>thought the shit in her diaper was chocolateholy shit that's horrifying
>>102411973Work doesn't allow them. They are a "security risk" and they said I can get my own smartphone without a camera or fingerprint sensor, or they'll supply me a non-smart phone.
>>102412011They are either deliberately messing with you then or the person making the decisions has the iq of room temerature because absolutely every single smartphone has a camera in it
samshit bros, thank you for making this glorious smartphone!
>>102412011godspeed glowie
>>102412087>retard places phone on strong magnetic stand>magnetometer goes insaneit's as if you are retarded or something. either set the phone to not use magnetic north or don't use strong magnets near it, retard posted from my pixel 7a
>>102412054Factually untrue.
>>102412011You're the anon who posted on /k/ yesterday about the new suppressor job that has govt contracts, aren't you?
>>102412162>hurr durr your powerful magnetic stand is interfering with the magnetometer sensor in your $1000 smartphone.I think you're a bus rider or retard lmao
>>102412347Nope.
>>102411984Cleaning it up after is was smeared all over was even more horrifying.
>>102410161samsung 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$
>>102412353Yep, checks out. Godspeed brother and don't fuck up the new job.
>>102412370You're wrong, sorry.
>>102412351you're not making sense anon, have you really never played with a compass and magnet when you were a kid? with the way you responded, i wouldn't be surprised if you were one of those dullard kids with no spark or creativity
>>102412412so can you provide a youtube video or something that shows this issue?
>>102412477Chkd digits of dumbassery
>>102412351you literally told the phone to read the magnetic field around it in order to determine the north pole, and then placed the phpne near a stromg magmet, you absolute troglodyte. either don't tell it to use the magneometer, since ypu have that as a zetting, or get rid of that shitty magnetic stand.
>>102412477https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtUvV0xhmyc

ahhhhhhhhhhh help me my strong magnetic stand is fucking up my phone

>>102412733you've been told already, retard. either move the phone away from. the magnet, or don't use the magnetic north detection.
can't wait for this shit
>>102411889>Not good enough for work.what do you work in? why can't they give you a work phone?
>>102410502buy a cheap amazfit or fitbit.

wtf I just downloaded iOS 18 and now my phone is making me pudding and blowing me
>>102413335Americans didn't make you have ~18% VAT.Good point about the depreciation of Android phones though.
>>102413215The fact it has a single back camera will destroy your potential relationships with shallow women. Sure, you iMessage with her, but when she sees that single camera she'll know you're a LARPING POORFAG!
>>102413569Safari feels snappier
>>102413608>iMessageI never understood why americans are so obsessed with iMessage. What's wrong with good ol' Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, etc.?
>>102413653It stems from US and Canada having unlimited texting on most plans for a loooong time. In EU it was (is?) more common to pay per text so data driven messaging became popular.
>>102413730>In EU it was (is?) more common to pay per textYeah, it makes sense when you put it this way.
Reminder that those shitty XRs you all mock are getting iOS 18 today while your Xianxhing 460 Ultra HD will stop getting software support in two years
>>102413945Yes, but without Apple AI. Need a 15 Pro or above for that.
>>102413985NTA but the AI "features" they put on phones are pure drivel. Call me back when they can generate huge titty anime girls in skimpy outfits in pinup poses, until then I'll be on my desktop PC and generating those in Stable Diffusion.
>>102414271I find some of the Pixel features (Samsung copies then) like holding the gesture bar for circle to search are quite useful. Not revolutionary but a minor thing I missed on Graphene OS.
wtf i thought people were memeingiOS18 feels really fucking good, probably best update they made in years
>>102414323>circle to searchThat's just a very cool and convenient implementation of the existing google lens image search feature. I like it too, but it's not "AI" like the message rewriting and the photo editing things.
Any best tutorials/guides for the best control center etc. setup?
>>102413131are these niggas really still making phones with ivan forehead notch
>>102413131What's the base storage though? It can't be 64GB at this point.
Just download ios18 and I'm trying to send an image to an android user with my WiFi but it keeps saying failed to send? I thought RCS update was supposed to fix this?
>>102414556>64GBkek imagine if it is, and someone buys the base 64GB model and ends up being unable to install Genshin after setting up all their other apps
>>102414514i like Dynamic Islandif apps utilize it well it's really great, basically irreplaceable when i have my workout app + spotify on at the same time
>>102414681You know the same can be achieved even without a pill-shaped cutout?>muh face IDFingerprints are much better and Apple is retarded for insisting on their face recognition bullshit that only makes the camera cutout bigger and takes up screen space.
>>102414797FaceID is way faster.
>>102414874It's definitely not faster than the newer fingerprint scanners that takes barely a second, but it's more consistent (it's easy to miss the scanner when the screen is off) and I like how you unlock the messages on the lock screen (I with android allowed face unlock for message only that doesn't require much safety). I don't enjoy the tradeoff of covering the screen though (plus that lower bar that you can't remove).
>>102410161Guess the pahone, /g/ee :^)
Thoughts on Nokia / HMD smartphones?
>>102415244Nokia distanced themselves frfom HMD, so it's only HMD right now.>Thoughts on HMD smartphones?Genuine e-waste. No point in a repairable smartphone, if it comes with low-end, bottom of the barrel trash mediakek helio, 1 years of software updates and costs over 500 Euroshekels.
>>102415288I think HMD still have the rights to make Nokia phones (and they still sell Nokia phones) but they're also making phones with their own HMD brand, presumably because they want to stop paying Nokia to licence the brand.Anyway, I think their phones get 3 years of software updates and a few models cost a lot less than 500 euros.
>>102415311A couple of months ago Nokia cut their ties with HMD completely. It's back to being a finnish company, although no longer producing smartphones. The 105 is the last phone to be sold both as HMD and Nokia, depending on the market.Samsung's looking into acquiring them.
>>102415362HMD and Nokia were ALWAYS Finnish companies so I don't know what you're talking aboutAnd if I go on the HMD website they're still selling Nokia phones alongside HMD ones, so again, I don't know what you're talking aboutMaybe the licensing deal has ended and they're just selling through old stock, I dunno
>>102410161The Sony Xperia One Mark Four is absolutely the best financial decision ive made since buying PLTR at 6. There's no competition. Literally.
Should I buy the new iPhone 16 pro max? Or stick to the 15 pro max?
>>102415758post more webms of themfrom your brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max of course
>>102415787
>>102415758Holy shit bros, I love online putas so hecking much!!!!
>>102415554The companies just split mate. HMD has its HQ in China. Anyway, feel free to buy your HMD smartphone, but you're literally getting scammed woth such inferior hardware.
Why has Apple lost the chip race? Qualcomm is finally beating them.https://m.gsmarena.com/snapdragon_8_gen_4_is_again_on_geekbench_this_time_with_even_more_powerful_cores-
>>102414593Are you sure they are using RCS? It's a sad reality that many Android users think RCS is bad. My dad and two sisters don't use it despite it being built into Samsung Messages. If I encourage them to use it they just say they'll send images on FB Messenger. It's super annoying.
>>102416021My new roomie (uni dorms) and my father are the only people I've met who use RCS. My father because he doesn't like having profiles in apps/websites and my roomie because I haven't added him on FB yet kek
>>102413335>add taxes>blame everyone elseclassic euro
>>102416041My 71 year old friend has asked me how to turn off RCS like 5 times and I have to talk him out of it each time. He thinks people aren't getting his messages, but they wouldn't get them with SMS either.
>>102410161>>Recommended phones>https://www.gsmarena.com/smartphone_buyers_guide-review-2036.phpToo many options!I don't play games and don't care about camera quality.I DO care about having tons of memory.And my phone needs to remain fast even after years. So which phone from the list should I buy for under 325€ / 350$ ?
What am I in for anons?
>>102415075>>102414874Xiaomi phones face scan is faster than any fingerprint reader or faceid.
i don't understand how you can pre-order a phone that you don't know anything about wait for a review from someone competent you fucking drones
>>102416009>Why has Apple lost the chip race? Qualcomm is finally beating them. Who cares? I just moved back from my 8gen3 s24 Ultra to some random mediatek dimension midrange soc and it feels almost the same to use. Pointless giving a shit about high end processors in a phone when they drain so fast and get crazy hot if you actually utilize their power with winlator or something similar. Better to just use geforce now on a budget phone if you want a proper gaming experience
>iOS18 finally has RCS>My retarded nigger carrier doesn't support it.It's time to change i guess even though i use them only for few months.
>>102416009Because in the past Qualcomm was very stingy with the CPU cache. When apploo gave their CPU 16MB of cache, Qualcomm had 6MB on 8g1. This was literally the only advantage apploo ever had. SD 8g3 finally has 12MB, and I assume 8g4 probably has 16MB, if not more. Apploo does have 24MB nowadays, but their core architecture is getting a bit long in the tooth, since they still use modified A78 cores to this day.
>>102416101>And my phone needs to remain fast even after years.Which is dependent on the exact same spec that games care about - the chip. For 350EUR you're getting a midrange phone, which will stop getting updated in 3-4 years and turn slow somewhere around that point as well.Best option at that price point is probably the Galaxy A55.
>>102416101If you're not willing to buy a used S22U, then probably A55 (make sure you get the 8GB variant) or whatever Pixel a series you can afford between 8a and 7a.
>>102416290I see, many thanks. One more thing: second option?Forgive me, it's just that I really hate Samsung because of negative previous experiences.
>>102416347The other anon recommended some older Pixels, that and Samsung are your only non-chink options. If you're fine with chinese phones then Xiaomi has a ton of options in that price range.>Poco X6/Redmi Note 13 Pro>Poco X6 Pro/Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus>Poco F6 (maybe? unsure if it's listed this low in other places, it's around 350 euro here)Note that these might potentially have better hardware than same price Samsung phones, but will have worse software and get less timely updates, and less years of updates in general.
>>102416399between Poco X6 Pro and Poco F6 ? (they cost almost the same)
>>102415654even with the housefire chip?
>>102410161Is that the Aquos R6?I remember that phone having a ridiculously wide lens, like less than 20mm. And that's the ONLY lens, so if you want to get something normal looking out of it you're cropping.
>>102416441F6
>>102416441>geekbench scores>X6 Pro: 4696 multi; 1498 single>F6: 4313 multi; 1453 singleI'm actually really surprised that the 8s Gen 3 in the F6 scores less in benchmarks than the Mediakek CPU in the X6 Pro. It's a small difference, and Snapdragon is a more trusted chip series than Dimensity, so it's up to you on the performance front. I also looked at other benchmarks and those rate the F6 slightly higher than the X6 Pro, so I guess you could argue they're basically the same within a small margin of error.X6 Pro also gets slightly better battery life, but with slower charging. F6 is slightly lighter by a few grams and has a newer model of glass on the screen. Their body sizes seem to be almost exactly the same.
Apple needs to bring back minis.
>>102416572If the Mini had 120Hz and a decent battery life I would've gotten one.
>>102416572market research disagrees
>>102416021Dang no I'm not I guess I assumed everyone used it on android. That's probably why. Thanks.
>>102416867NTA but I can only imagine someone has to manually turn it off on Android? It seems to come automatically with Google Messages, which is preinstalled on all androids. Even my mom with a very old very budget Poco has RCS and received images I sent her on google messages no problem.
>>102416109Anal leakage
>>102416770It had decent battery life. Literally just needed 120hz ltpo display and it would have been golden
>>102417032>It had decent battery life.With a 60Hz screen. 120Hz would remove 1 hour from the SoT, even with LTPO.
>>102416812The problem was people werent convinced to buy it. Everyone who had it, loved it.
>>102417069the "problem" is that people generally enjoy larger screens.
>>102416572mini could work if it was new SE versionthat would be the best option
pixelkeks....
>>102416515Yes
>>102417295Sucks when these fragile formfactor phones break, but it is what it is. The candybard phones are sturdy nowadays at least.>...Now imagine just how shit the company whose candybar style phones cannot survive a basic durability tes must be!
If I'm buying brand new should I just wait for Cyber Monday? Do Android phones even go on sale the way other shit does? Sony Xperia 5 Mark IV if that matters
>>102417424There are sales during Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but usually on the base storage models. If you want a 256/512GB/1TB phone, then don't bother waiting.
>>102417461Us Burgerstanis only ever got the 5-IV in a base-model 128GB so that works for me
Ios 18 is heating up my shitty XR wtf
>>102416965Yeah they turn it off to "save data" or something. I told my sister to turn it on and she just sent the picture via FB messenger. There's literally no reason to turn it off, it is just better in every way.

Does an iPhone 14 Pro still practical in 2024? I’d like to get another year out of mine.
>>102418069Nah. Get a S23.
>>102411276Moto G Stylus 2024
>>102411795Zenfone Flip 8.
>>102416487Absolutely.>>102418020Yeah it comes with an SD card slot. And no need for thermal management. Its not a playstation.
>>102418069yes but I recommend the iPhone 16 Pro
>>102416965Is there any way from my iPhone to tell if they have it turned off?I had to send someone else a pic with android today and it sent very quickly so I assume they had their RCS on. It's hard to tell because I keep mobile on at my house but service is so shit it usually won't send images through mms
>>102411769does it come with microSD slot?

>>102419795>if its enough right now, is it futureprood?No. Literally everyone even apple is upping the RAM because of all the AI. Even without AI, 8GB is the bare minimum, ideally lpddr5x
>>102415819Doja cat lost all her appeal, grim
>>102420338the reason i ask is because sony has the budget xperia 5 iv, but it only has 8gigsworth it to shell out for the 1 vi 512gb 16gb?
>>102420457>1 vi 512gb 16gb?I'm pretty sure there isn't a 16GB RAM version, just 12GB which is enough. But are you sure you need 512GB internal? It has microsd support after all.
>>102420457Sony's budget phone line is the 10, the 5 is just the 1 with a smaller screen
>>102419626anyone?
>>102417044>With a 60Hz screen. 120Hz would remove 1 hour from the SoT, even with LTPO.That depends on usage. There is barely any difference between 60 and 120hz unless you play gayms
Sat and broke my S-Pen. Is there any way to disconnect/unpair it from S23U? Or do I just let the battery on it die. It still works perfectly fine but its bent to shit and I don't want to reinsert it.

Whats the lowest snapdragon for minimum switch emulation? What can be the lowest snap dragon something like yuzu and skyline can properly run? Im talking about games like the gen 8 pokemon games, mario kart or even something like Mario Odyssey or Persona 5. And by running properly I do not mean the smooth as butter kind of thing, something that can run it, frame drops and all, on a respectable fps count.
>>102421873That image is worth keeping in mind next time someone here recommends you a Xiaomi/Poco/Redmi phone.
Not that bad for the money.
>>102421873The problem is that ONLY Xiaomi is that bad.Vivo is good only as premium manufacturer, their budget phones are overpriced shit. Quite similar to A, series of Samsung, and Samsung situation overall.Realme is just good for the money. Their UI is mkay, at least they don't have ads and MIUI bugs.Oppo is vivo, I don't know why BBK have 2 similar brands. OnePlus is just good, but they don't have "true flagship". Doesn't matter anyway, op12 is a beast.Infinix and techno are still better than Xiaomi, lol. They making only budget to mid tier phones, not that good.t.
