What's so elite about the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC? Is it just the new name for the 8 series, making it essentially the SD 8 Gen 4?

Bros is there any phone that is a bit smaller than nothing phone 2 and on same class or better?

His PC is like a celeron from 2012. He uses a wifi router he got for like 20 quid. Then he goes on and on about how good things are. He spend 5 and a half hours recapping his motherboard rather than just buying a new PC. Then he has 19 xboxes and 31 other consoles, including like 4 sneses and 5 genesises. He isn't saving any money, he just spends it all on stupid shit and wonders why people don't wanna be around him.

Man the Note 8 Pro was such a nice phone. Felt like a genuine attempt to match it's contemporary flagships at a sub-250 euro price point. I remember reviews at the time talking about how the Helio G90T can go toe to toe with the SD845 in gaming, and there being little to no discernable difference between it and flagship chips on average daily web browsing and social media. Rock solid battery life as well, sometimes 2 days with moderate usage.
The phone took some damn nice photos for the time as well, 4K30 videos as well. Honestly the photos and videos from the N8P looked better than the ones from the Moto Edge 20 I "upgraded" to.
Overall the N8P was such an amazing upgrade for me, coming from a literal who brand chinkphone ("allview") with a random numbers MTK chip, 3gb ram and 720p screen. Only thing it lacked for 2019 standards was an OLED screen and 90Hz, but that was understandable at the price point and considering the beefy hardware inside must've taken most of the budget away.

Wrong. The nice thing about a horizontally folding phone is that it's still a "big phone", but a small phone in your pocket. Plus people LOVE fidgeting with their shit which flip phones are perfect for. If only there wasn't the retarded crease...

No my employer offers a free phone occasionally, I have a ~$10 sim only deal. If I take the S24 then it means I'm at the back of the list next time they do upgrades so it's really whether it's a notable upgrade

I'm flying to Japan next month and I'm taking my bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the flight. I need some way to attach or prop up my phone at eye level using the seat in front of me. Are there cases that are particularly good for this?

>>102878801
Black Friday sales are not really good anymore, with tons of scams. Like it was $10 the day before Black Friday but it is $15 marked down to $10 for the "sale". Just keep an eye on sales from places you would purchase from.

>>102878837
Many cases have meme standing capability, why are you using a keyboard and mouse for a phone in the first place?

>>102878772
i live in europe, if im not mistaken the s23u comes with snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and s24+ comes with exynos 2400
>>102878835
is that the only benefit of going with 23u over 24+? being able to spy on people and see stuff in far distance is a nice thing to gave even if you end up using it once a year

Is it worth financing a high end phone ? Or remain with midrange?

>>102878869
Because I don't want to take my laptop along. It's going to occupy valuable space in my backpack and I don't intend to spend any time using it while I'm in Japan itself (that would be a failure of a holiday).
I'd rather get some work done during the 15 hours + 15 hours travelling to and fro. Hence putting the keyboard + mouse on the tray and propping up the phone at eye level.

>>102878894
Always buy high end. They are more durable (e.g. Gorilla Glass Victus), feel better to use, and last longer. Believe me, you WILL feel the sluggishness of a midranger after two years even if you don't game. Google Maps can be very demanding sometimes.

I was looking at the asus zenphone 10, but that's been discontinued. I don't really need top shelf stuff since I don't do anything on my phone buy GPS and web browsing while waiting in line.

Been rocking the the normal S23 and it's an all-day phone for me. Might need to top up if you play a lot of games, but if your scenario is listening to podcasts/revanced/music over bluetooth all day, a couple of hours funposting in 4chan, and play a game or two while commuting, then yeah, it's an all-day phone.

S10 speakers dunk on modern phones, and it has a headphone jack. [32-bit/384kHz audio
Tuned by AKG] still better than modern iPhones and new Samsung flagships

The screen also holds up really well even now, 1440 x 3040 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~550 ppi density)
SM8150 Snapdragon 855 also is fine for most games
SD card slot is a bonus lots of phones are missing

ALso it's compact and the design feels great without a case
S10 is probably peak phone, only downside is the battery like you said and also no more updates

>>102881087
S10 is mid now, s24 ultra moggs in everyway. Get some aftershock headphones for working out or running around and some noise canceling Sony or Bose for at home no jack needed. S10 is a good size but once you get used to the bigger phone the screen size is nice.

>>102881906
You're literally me. Got the 1+12 cuz I need hotspot all day and the V30 battery wasn't cutting it anymore. I got no complaints with the 1+12 itself, most of its problems are android related, but I still use the V30 casually around the house cuz let's be honest, they are tough little fuckers. I can a shower or bath and just throw it there to watch something. I wouldn't do that with the 12 or any phone because they've all gotten big and heavy and fragile.

I'm really sad LG isn't in the game anymore. The back power button/fingerprint reader is so much fucking better than anyone else's arrangement.

How's the battery life on smartwatches? Thinking of getting something more substantial than my little fitness watch. Useful, but the tiny screen is just a bit too tiny sometimes.

>>102881186
Doesn't have better speakers. Not even close, the S24U absolutely smashes it (even S22U does it, which has significantly weaker speakers than S24U), especially in terms of balance between L/R. I own both devices.

Main issue is no NFC. I guess if you don't mind that you could go for it.

>>102875124
>>102876838
The requirement is just that any device that can charge wired needs USB-C as an option for charging. So as long as USB-C is there, it doesn't matter if any other ports are absent or present.

By the way, the regulation also doesn't apply to portless devices that only charge wirelessly, so portless iPhones are still a future possibility.

>>102881087
For me, it's the LG G7. It's tuned the exact same way as the V30, which is considered to have the best tuning out of all LG phones.

And no curved screen. The main issue I have with S10/S10+ is the curved screen

>>102882516

I guess I can further understand why more people were turned off and no longer like Linus as a Tech YouTuber as he and others similar to him and his clones are just peak Consoomer. Albeit, Consoomers with better or decent public face, image and PR because they're tech guys and surely tech guys are smarter and wiser than average Consoomers.

Also, Huawei's Trifold phone is innovative? Wasn't it confirmed to be built in the backs of stolen tech which is why it was banned, because dirty thieving commies? And even ignoring the politics, do you really need a such a "trifold" phone? That thing not only looks easily breakable and fragile than the flip and folding phones we know. But look inconvenient and hard to carry around.

>>102883941
It's the highest-end display tech in a commercially available smartphone right now. Makes sense that a tech influencer would want one.
I wouldn't want one, because it's not practical to use, but Linus? He can use it as material to film even more content.

>>102878894
Financing as in through a plan? Sure, but it's cheaper to buy outright and get a prepaid plan.

But yes high end or flagships are better than cheaper budget and mid-ranger phones. They age better and the manufacturers throw everything they got into them so you get the best features of the current year. You aren't going to rocket yourself to financial independence or becoming a millionaire by saving $800 on a phone purchase you've got to make every 3-5 years.

>>102883941

Also tech press gives literally zero fucks about fragility, this was evident years ago when they praised the Mate X for its obviously fragile fold-out screen while mocking the Z Fold in comparison.

I want to go from Android on one really weak carrier that barely gets any service to iphone on another carrier with a new number. I have two google accounts, with my backup google account being registered to my current carrier. The thing is, so many sites have 2FA that it seems like I will have to have an overlapping period where I have both phones being active so I can switch the numbers on all my accounts to my new phone number.

Does that make sense? The last time I switched numbers was a many years ago and sites didnt have 2FA then.

sensor size isn't everything. It's smaller but a totally new generation of sensor, much more photosensitive.

>>102886329
>sensor size isn't everything
yeah but it is if you care about portraits when its about smartphones
i'm assuming the new sensor probably is better at being sharp and less noisy at night but really idc about that
that's if you only care about your cam as a tool rather than something to be artistic with
my favorite cam lenses usually are the more soft ones higher aperture

>>102886302
you said you wanted to use a new number on new device anyway, so why would you need to port the previous number to a new carrier? you could just start using the new number on said new carrier and stop subscribing to previous number's plan when you've changed all 2FA accounts' phone number field to the new number. there's no need for overlapping period or anything.

>>102886446
>there's no need for overlapping period or anything.
i wont know what my new iphone number number is until I physically get it from the store, so I dont want to cancel my current shit plan until I have been able to get home and go to all those websites and change the numbers over. Some websites still require 2FA to login with only phone number and not 2FA app (which is tied to my primary google account with google authenticator).

>>102886280

consumers seem to go fuckin haywire when there's a middle option between base and 'pro'. i guess they're trying to buck that trend by making the middle option fundamentally different.
except the mini, small phone lovers continue to get fucked lmao

so wait until you get the number from the store? i don't understand why you can't be in possession of both the old and new numbers at the same time.

>>102886611
I'm just saying, it seems like I will have to pay for about 1 month of service where both phones are active in order to switch numbers

>>102886629
there is no other way than overlapping plans if change 2FA numbers.
don't you have enough remainder days of your monthly plan to waste anyway? if not, you can always change the previous plan to the cheapest/data-less plan or pay-as-you-go altogether for the overlapping month just for receiving 2FA OTP's.

>>102886760
i dont know how many days i have, but it doesnt matter. What I've read about in porting numbers from this carrier is such a nightmare where you have to cancel your plan and then wait until the very end when everything has been paid off (who knows when) for you to begin the port period where you can actually receive texts. I dont have time for nonsense like that. For one, I get shit service and coverage, that is a fact. For two, tons of people are saying that the recent android 15 update is bug ridden and auto restart riddled. I dont have time for all this. This is why I can just switch to a better carrier and get better service and iphone stability, dont have to worry about my phone potentially restarting on me

I've been trying to get a android 10/11 smartphone, but all the second hand ones I buy (I tried xperia 5 II and zenfone 11) are updated and I cant downgrade. Fuck the eu laws about extended lifesupport.

Looks like options are: contact Google with proof of death and relation and see if Google can do something
-maybe there's a method of connecting the phone to a computer and forcing it into recovery mode?

nigga, you dumb, just get a decent midranger with a good chip, phones now offer far better value than they did 5-10 years ago

>>102889950
NTA but you can't get both on a midranger right now. Poco X6 Pro might play Zenless Zone Zero, but will have a shit camera. Pixel 8a might have a great camera, but good luck running ZZZ on that housefire SoC.

>>102889969
OnePlus 10T
Poco F5 Pro
Nothing Phone (2)

All these have the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which should easily handle it and all of them have a decent camera

don't they have some app to play flaccs? or do they want you to invest in apple high-res music files?

what the heck thats gay

Phone(2) is the only one I'd be willing to trust with software support
>>>>updoots
Yes, I'd rather my phone be up to date for the few years I'd be using it.
Though F5 Pro with Lineage does seem like a great choice, if you accept not having banking apps and google wallet for NFC payments. Not for everyone however, with the need to flash a custom rom on it.

best website to import chinese phones from? wonda?

Poco F5 is amazing value for your money, feels high end,
I just haven't tried an actual phone plan with it yet to see how well it works on Westoid networks

>>102890181
I'm a T-Mobile chad so the world is my oyster. I could import a Poco X6 Pro and it'd work on Mint

>>102888327
the iphone 'back' is so much better than android but I guess it depends on the app. swiping to go back is so much better it's unreal.

I asked a bunch of people I know IRL if they prefer big or small smartphones. Almost everyone said they don't care, because all phones are roughly 6 to 7 inches anyways, which is apparently the same thing.
What's with people and not caring either way about certain things? How can you not have a preference, are you braindead?

>>102890224
>not having 2 phones, 1 big and 1 small

OOOoof!

>>102890242
What use does a big phone have that can't be done on a tablet or computer? Small phones have the advantage here, by being easier to use one handed while doing other shit.

>>102890263
If I'm at home or if I go somewhere very chill I bring my big phone, I can carry it in pocket, to the toilet, to the dining table, it's almost as convenient as a small phone but not quite. Yet wayyyyyy more convenient than lobbing around a freakin' tablet with you.

I use my small phone when I go to work or if I go outside somewhere active, where I prefer the convenience and probably won't be doing much on it besides youtube/email/calls and light browsing

iPhones suck but you guys are retarded. iPhones do have a file system and they can play flac files. Just download a music player from the app store and use something like Google drive to transfer your music over. It's literally made for kids and you guys can't figure it out. Typical /g/ being full of noobs. Basically the number one reason I would never to /g/ for any advice. Misinformation is easier to find than actual facts here.

>>102889206
android can't play flac either unless you download a music player from the app store. just like iphone. retard

>>102890530
>just upload to the heckin' cloud
Hahaha you guys are so cooked.

At the very least you should recommend a music player where you can upload files from your computer. VLC can do this, but it's a shit music player. You still have to use iTunes if you want to use Apple Music lmao

I have an iPhone supplied by my employer and it's shit. The phone forgets fingerprints, contacts and texts. I have purchased the latest iPhones for my children as they wanted them and they'd get bullied at school if they used anything else but I wouldn't personally use one as they're fucking terrible. I don't use my works phone anymore as I've taken the SIM out and use it as second SIM on my OnePlus 12.

>>102890985

I'm asking because never owned and iphone, so cant imagine what its like being 15 years on that side of the fence

this is not really true but what was infuriating for me is that you couldn't put your images into folders (only "albums"), nor could you name them or even view them as files in Files.app

>>102890985
After returning my iPhone 15 Pro Max for an s24 Ultra, I can confirm it mogs the iPhone, especially in multitasking. That faggot iPhone would have to reload apps all the fucking time. I'm guessing because it has gimped RAM, but I'm just guessing. It could be some other form of retardation/cost reduction.

>>102890776
Android literally doesn't come with a built-in video or music player preinstalled, if some do, it's because it's part of the personalization from the manufacturer.

>S24 FE already down to 490 euro brand new
>competing phones at same price point: iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro, Xiaomi 14T, 1+Nord 4, Realme GT6, Honor 200 Pro, Moto Edge 50 Pro, Nothing Phone (2)
When you put it this way, it actually starts looking competitive. It's up against phones with the SD 8s Gen 3, 7+ Gen 3, 7 Gen 3, 8+ Gen 1, MTK Dimensity 8300, and various apple chips. Looks like it's by far the most powerful of the bunch, being close to the 8 Gen 3 in power, while the rest are worse or similar to the 8 Gen 2.

>>102891234

>At the very least you should recommend a music player where you can upload files from your computer
There's a ton of music players that can import music files that are in your file manager. You can download any music file with the safari browser or something like Google drive app and get your songs from there. If you need to transfer songs with a cable you are still living in 2010 and I cannot help you with that

That will take the same amount of time wirelessly as with wired unless you have a 3rd world connection.

Not an itoddler. Just a previous iPhone user who figured this shit out in less than 10 minutes instead of crying like a helpless child about how nothing works when it clearly does

"good internet" i'll say is gigabit, and USB 3.0 itself can do 5x that bandwidth (5gbps), not to mention 3.1 (10gbps) and 3.2 (20gbps)

>>102892539
I don't know how you get 600gbs of music. FLAC is usually under 50MB about 30MB on avg, even if it was 50MB per song that's 12,000 full FLAC songs

Okay, Im done with using the Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. Too much inconvenicence.

What do you recommend for someone who was previously a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 user? I heard they discounted the note series and that S4 Ultra is the new hot thing. What I don't get is why Samsung is selling a phone that is about as expensive as an iphone. The main gimmick I liked about Android was not having to pay out the ass for it.

>>102890958
So far so good, it's bigger than my one plus 7t open and half the size when closed which is pretty awesome.
I think this will fit better in my pocket plus it has better audio codecs for my ear buds so things will sound better

>>102892687
>What I don't get is why Samsung is selling a phone that is about as expensive as an iphone. The main gimmick I liked about Android was not having to pay out the ass for it.
That's like asking why someone would spend top dollar for a windows gaming computer instead of getting a mac

>>102892709
That assumes the Android phone has top quality specs. Does it?

>>102892715
Yes

>>102892736
I was at the verizon store today and I felt like the S24U was a scam with them trying to get me to go for it. But after looking through stuff today, I guess I should be using that new phone then like a good little sheep.

>>102892755
Look into trade ins or promotions you can save a lot of money. I bought the S24 ultra for just a few hundred dollars when it launched with a trade in

>>102888651
Friend said we might be able to start something by popping the SIM into one of our phones, using that to reset the password on his computer, and then possibly getting the ability to go from there.

I wanna get the nothing phone 2a+ but I heard it doesnt work with most of the carriers here in the US. If I wind up getting it though whats the best network I can use on it? I currently on Visible

Is it even worth getting a phone with 5G over one that's LTE only?
I'm looking at phones like the poco m6 pro with shit like 12GB/512GB and good enough specs for $200 that blow my current phone out of the water and the only drawback being it's LTE only.

My Pixel 1's battery is finally kicking the bucket. I don't know if I want to go through the hassle of replacing it. Are the newer Pixels still overheating?

can i replace the OS for the zenfone 10 and use it forever? I like the small size, its a nice size for phones.

>>102894550
no the bootloader is locked

>>102884561
Imagine taking leaks at face value. I bet when iPadOS split off from iOS you also thought the name of iOS was going to be changed back to iPhone OS too, right?

>>102894391
You can get a Poco X4 GT for that price lol
