>>102949996what about the iPhone?
The processor on this phone is fast af
>>102950003It's good
wouldn't fit in a comment. The main thing is that both operating systems are so similar that it kinda doesn't matter anymore.
>>102950062>The main thing is that both operating systems are so similarOnly a retard or normalfag would say this. Let me know when iOS lets you do something as simple as going onto github and installing an app. Or putting uBlock on a browser.
How's the fairphone with /e/OS? I know everyone says go with the Pixel with GrapheneOS on it but I don't wanna give Jewgle any money by buying a Pixel
>>102950014>$1000+ flagship phone is fast no shit sherlock>>102950062a Galaxy Ultra phone makes you look like a sophisticated business man, an iPhone 16 makes you look like either a fag or a woman, choose
>>102947818> Is the battery dying or is the motherboard fucked?Software issues.
>>102950308>an iPhone 16 makes you look like either a fag or a womanwe get it, you hate women
>>102950163Look, retard, most people don't care and this is coming from someone who used to care about customising, downloading from the internet and anything else you can think of. I want stability - I want things to "just work". >>102950308> A sophisticated businessmanNigger, it's a phone. I'm a fat, hairy, retard. Nobody is gonna look at me and think "Wow, I bet he does shit!".
>>102950062Pen has more uses than just a pointing device - bluetooth button and gyro gestures make for comfy page flipper.Also it's very necessary if you prefer higher dpi than allowed by settings slider.btw anyone here remember Windows Mobile RealVGA mod?
>>102950014Arr rook same
>S25 series will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite>S26 series most likely will use Qualcomm chips too>S27 should return to ExynosGuess it's decided then. I'll get an S26 heavily discounted once the S27 series launches, to replace my currently 9 months old S23.Though it does feel bad to be stuck on the SD8G2 and have 2024 games like Zenless Zone Zero massively heat up the phone and not run at the solid 60 fps that's basically required for action combat games.
>>102950718>higher dpi than allowed by settings slider.do you mean Screen zoom slider or Font size slider?
Screen zoom
Font size
S23 but headphone jack and SD card. Surely such thing has to exist right?

>>102949950why isnt anyone talking about the snapdragon 8 elite? i am waiting for the rog phone 9 and redmagic 10 pro reveal cause im a mobile gamer
>>102951399you literally don't need more than a Helio G99/Snapdragon 695, everything else is bloat
>>102951488mobile gaming has evolved a lot. codm for example, especially running at 120fps
>>102951399Its literally been talked about since several threads ago. ignore the poorfag below you
>>102951824i havent been on 4chan in weeks. also the guy below my initial post, why do those dudes recommend outdated and obsolete tech?
>>102951828ok name 5 daily things you do on your phone (and can only do on your phone) that require anything higher than 500,000 AnTuTu v10 points that aren't dumb useless bloat like 4K recording or 120hz mobile """gaming"""
>He plays games on his phoneJust buy a tablet
>>102951898bruh this is a loaded question. i game on mobile a lot and need a better chip for it, on top of that, i need a cooler because it gets hot running everything >>102951918a tablet is like a desktop setup because its not as portable and accessible like gaming on phone. though a tamer setup with ethernet, fiber internet, and high resolution headphones is a huge advantage. app the former pro codm players retired and went to ipad
>>102949950>Xiaomi 15 UltraWhy all phones look atrociously bad nowadays?
>>102949950Want to buy new flagship. Either Samsung or iPhone. Main purpose is camera for daily photos of nature, my growing family and vlogging.Current phone is Xiaomi mi A3.iPhone 16 plus or Samsung equivalent?
>>102952000>vloggingshameful display
>>102949950this, the Vivo X200 series, and Oppo Find X8 series, have to be some of the biggest design downgrades ever. What the fuck are china doing?
>>102952000the 16 pro or 16 pro max is what i would get
>>102952006It is what it is. I want to make videos for my children and improve my speaking.
>>102951898>dumb useless bloat like 4K recordingpoorfag detected. probably uses a TN 1080p monitor and a 970
>>102951941the ideal tablet is no larger than a book/magazineif you're gaming. Personally though, I rarely find myself spending hours on my phone besides watching a video, reading an e-book, or playing some simple puzzle mobile game that only requires one hand.
>>102951399>rog phone 9Meh, I knew they wouldn't but I was hoping they'd pedal back on their retardation, remove the punch-hole front-facing camera, and revert back to their front-facing speakers. At least my old ROG Phone 5 still works so I don't have any reason whatsoever to buy a new one.
>tfw samsung phone with an ipad for reading/leisure activities
>>102952020Thanks
>>102952220> Just manlet things
>>102952220iPads are great for leisure. >>102952279Just be aware that the pro's battery isn't great. If it's battery you want, go with either the plus or pro max, budget depending
>>102952289Bejita is requesting SILENCE in the library. Schollers need time to read you see
>>102949950I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I know mobile emulation on PC is possible, but I've never done it and have no idea how far it goes. Is it possible for both Android and iOS to be emulated? Can it be used to connect to the Internet? I want to test various apps and browser extensions.
>>102952342I made a separate thread just in case and someone recommended pic related, but I want to get a general idea of what my options are before I commit to anything. Also, I don't mind if it's Windows or Linux just as long as it works properly.
do you guys think the gorilla glass armor will come the S25?
>>102952427idk anything about gorilla glass
Anyone rocking a >OnePlus12 ?thinking about getting one.
>>102952007The Chinese can't settle on a specific design and then refine it. There's a reason why Apple and Samsung don't change their look "For the sake of appearing new" because their top flagships have stayed the same design wise so that everyone can recognise them.
>>102952519good phone if you don't mind colorOS
>>102949950I dont care about emulating windows or the switch so i've been thinking of taking the mediatek pill for my next phone. Any other phones confirmed to get the 9400 aside from the Oppo x8 and the vivo x200?
>Rumours going around that ONE UI 7 might lauch as late as next yearSo does anyone know the reason for the delay? Samsung has been quite fast with ONE UI 5 and 6, I wonder why 7 is taking so long
>>102950206Be retarded, we don't care.
>>102952894they exhausted all their gimmicky tricks in the book and finally have trouble coming up with yet another """design language""".
>>102951918i don't need a tablet.i play mobile games on desktop mode.
>>102952894It's launching with the S25 range.
bros what is the cheapest smartphone with 5G? i cant bother paying for iphone only to masturbate on work.
>>102953754Just get a Galaxy A15 5G for like 150 bucks. Anything cheaper/shittier than this will actively make your porn watching experience worse.
>>102951898my xcover6 pro is good enough for me
I can get a baseline 12GB+256GB Galaxy Fold 6 for $1180, worth? Can lower it down to $973 if I trade in my Poco F5 ProThere's nothing wrong with my current phone except its kinda boring and the camera is meh
>>102952644Google ruined their pixel design too so it's not just a china issue
>>102952364Waydroid works fine for me. It's not emulated, it runs it sort of natively in a container. But you need a linux system to do it.Also if you wanna use gapps you're gonna have to register it because initially it won't work. Not hard to do but just a heads up
>>102951918I've been considering getting a legion y700, not primarily for gaming purposes but it works for that too
What keyboard should I use? Is there any FOSS keyboard that isn't totally shit?
>>102954002>legion y700the only variant being sold here is the one with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and it costs 500 euro for the base model, what a fucking scam my country is regarding tablets
>>102954063I've tried a bunch but I couldn't find one with swipe typing as good as gboard so I'm stuck with it. If you want some alternatives worth looking into, the FUTO keyboard is alright, with iirc really good voice recognition if you care about that. I was gonna recommend more but I've forgotten their names, sorry
>>102954087Import it from china like everyone else.
>>102954108>350 euro on AliexpressThat's better, but I'd be concerned ordering such an expensive product from Aliexpress of all places. The most I've paid for shit from there is like 20 euro for a whole bunch of bootleg anime figurines.
>>102954136The official lenovo store is one of the first results so they'll probably be reliable.
>>102954144I'm more worried about it getting delayed indefinitely or stolen during customs, or me having to pay an insane import tax if they figure out it's a purchase and not a gift like the packages always say.
>>102954163When I tried adding it to my cart they deducted the presumed import fee from the costAs for getting stuck at customs, I've never had it happen personally, but it has taken packages a month or so to arrive in the past
>>102946587you call that degraded battery?lmao.
>>102954369"battery still holds a charge, $300 or best offer"
>>102953969I like it. Might get the Pixel 9 Pro when they are off backorder for GrapheneOS to replace my Pixel 7. Might wait for Pixel 10 series though.
>>102953810>recommending a Walmart special Samsung phoneCouldnt imagine anything worse. Well, maybe a BLU phone. >>102952954>Android 15 6 months laterlmao, Samsisters you put up with this?
I would unironically rock this thing if snoy didn't cuck out the bootloader

What would be a worthy upgrade over a v50? Looking for something similar around $200-300 range. Would be cool if i could get an old flagship
iOS 18 is so ugly

>>102952000Samsung S24
>>102949950'm torn on which basic Samsung tablet to get. I know there's the A9 Plus now, but both of these are very cheap used, I'm finding excellent deals on both and I'm torn in which to get. I mean, the A8 has 4GB of RAM, while the A7 has 3GB, for a lot of people that'd settle it, but I'm torn on one thing, A8 has a Unisoc Tiger T618, while A7 has a Snapdragon 662. Often on /g/ it seems like the only option is Snapdragon, is that true in here? Or is the A8 still better in this regard aswell?I'm probably going to make my purchase later this week, or at the start of next week, so I have some time to decide which I'm going for. I'll use them mostly for drawing with a capacitive stylus, and emulation with a telescopic controller really.Other brands besides Samsung are fine, but it's often more expensive simply because Samsung is more popular, so more people buy it, so there are more used ones, which drives prices down.I'm thinking of the Tab A7 simply because of it's LineageOS support, which the Tab A8 lacks, but the 3GB of RAM, compared to the A8's 4GB of RAM, is also a big deal. The A7's processor is a Snapdragon chip, while the A8's isn't, but from what I've seen the A8's slightly better, so when it comes to hardware the A8 takes it, it'll also be supported for a year longer. It's a hard choice.
>>102958032tab A9 (not the plus) wifi version can be found for like $100 now and its enough for shitposting and watching youtube (the g99 in A9 is much better than the procs in the older ones)
>>102951399ROG has been reduced to a niggercattle social media machine. RM10 might follow the retardation of Redmagic Nova tablet and remove the jack.In gaming world, wired audio >>>> wireless shit
>>102958060NTA but isn't the screen on the A9 and A9+ complete garbage? Being TFT LCD and even 800p on the standard A9.Anything in this price range (sub-150 eurodollars) with an IPS screen? If I'm watching YouTube I'd want it to look at least acceptable, and an IPS screen is that - just okay.
>>102958060Recommending E-waste for actual money. I like it.
>>102958359you dont get to spend $100 and complain about quality. and its usable. didnt see you recommend something better>>102958334any tablet in this price range will be "just okay" at best
>>102954694>Walmart special Samsung phoneThe A15 5G has all the basics for a simple and usable 2024 smartphone actually.>5G connectivity>okay chipset for daily tasks>5000 mAh battery>large OLED 90Hz 1080p screen>128GB storage base model>SD card + 3.5mm jackAll of this for $150 or less, maybe even free from your carrier. The A16 5G is also out and potentially an even better deal once it's price drops down in a few months once the other Ax6 series phone start coming out. I expect it will be one of the best selling phones worldwide.
>>102952894One UI 6.1 and 6.1.1 are such huge leaps they probably should've been One UI 7. Also pretty weird to release it in the MIDDLE of the S24's release year instead of the beginning.
>>102953898Very worth it.
>>102958557All they added was AI slop. 6.1 adjusted some animations, I guess, but other than that it's all AI bullshit that will go paid in a year anyways. Circle to search is nice albeit.
Are you guys informed on smartphone security and shit? I got a Fiio dongle dac which has it's own android control app for EQ and other settings. The problem is that it wont connect unless you give the app both location as well as nearby devices permissions. Why would an app like that would need either of these and why should I allow them? Nearby devices I guess for bluetooth or wifi devices I assume? This isn't wireless though. It's just a USB connection. And what does my location have to do with listening to music? I also think I read in the terms that the app can read information related to your music library or what you're listening to but I don't remember. That's ridiculous to me.
>>102958060I don't mind the Tab A9, but I really want a 10' to 11' screen, so it's too small for my liking.
>>102959326well unless you get the A9+ you'll have to compromise, shit screen on A9 vs shit processors on A7/A8
>>1029587606.1.1 is AI stuff. 6.1 just made it look like iOS. lmao
>Galaxy A16 5G drops the audio jackWhat the fuck? We can safely assume the A26 won't have one either, which means the only 2026 A-series Samsung phones left with a 3.5mm jack are the A06 and the A16 4G, neither of which is worth considering at all.The A06 is on-par specs wise with the motherfucking Moto G31 from late 2021 - same 12nm Helio G85, but the old ass moto even has a 1080p OLED while the A06 has a 720p PLS LCD.A16 4G is just a rebranded A15 4G with 2 extra years of updates, which is somewhat redundant for such a cheap phone, so you might as well save even more money and just get the A15, which by now should be very very discounted.
>>102958032get the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad 2024 8/128, it's like $130 on AliExpress my brother has a Tab A9+ 8/128 and it performs okay but the screen is pretty bad, my chink Lenovo tablet has a way better screen than his avoid anything with 4gb of ram, 6gb is the minimum, specially on a heavyweight android skin like OneUIavoid anything with an EMMC memory, UFS 2.2 is the bare minimum if you plan to keep it for at least 2 years avoid anything with a processor below the Snapdragon 680 or Mediatek Helio G99
is the motorola razr 2024 worth it? seems like a neat gimmick but have doubts about build quality. Looks like you can get it for around 450USD secondhand with a warranty

>5 years ago>$200 smartphones have premium builds and designs, take great photos and 4K video, and have midrange chips on par with the flagship chips from 2 years prior>today>$200 smartphones are complete fucking garbage, built like shit, take shit photos, capped to 1080p30 video, and have shitty chips barely better than the midrangers from 5 years agoWhat the fuck happened? Why is the midrange market evolving backwards? Why did Samsung kill the A70 series and nerf the A50 series? Why hasn't qualcomm or mediatek made a chip suitable for $200 phones on par with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1? Why did we go back to plastic backs? Why are good phones not getting cheaper, and cheap phones not getting better, despite the supposed progress of technology?
>>102960987>60+ reasons not to buy something>"lol who cares">"I'M NOT DEFENDING THEM,!!! I HAVE A SAMSUNG, I SWEAR!!!!!"Drink bleach faggot.
I wanna get a decent midrange phone but im on the Visible network, should I just switch to Mint or something one of these other good midrange phones can use?
>>102949950Is there a website in which we can find info on how good is the signal reception on phones?, because my village is in a bad coverage area and there is huge diferences between one model to another, even on the same brand, but is not consistent with price points>https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3>https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare-smartphones>https://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&s=queryI dont think there is any relevant info on the these websites
>>102961060Of the 60+ reasons, only 5 personally apply, which are legit reasons. Just admit that you're regurgitating a meme without any actual thought put into it, do the world a favour and throw yourself off a bridge, but since you're indian, I'll instead tell you to get hit by a train. Also, Samsung is shit too. Have fun playing with their totally not copied from applele UI, faggot
>>102961336>Of the 60+ reasons, only 5 personally apply, which are legit reasons.Nah they're all true. Closing your eyes and screaming "LA LA LA, I CANT SEE THEM SO THEYRE NOT THERE" doesn't make it less valid. >Just admit that you're regurgitating a meme without any actual thought put into it,I literally made the list myself faggot. Thats how much thought I into it. And add more whenever I find a gaping flaw in the iPhone which is often. >Also, Samsung is shit too. Have fun playing with their totally not copied from applele UI, faggotYou have a broken xr.
>>102961042>Why is the midrange market evolving backwards?It's not, midrange phones offer today far more than they offered before for the price they ask>Why did Samsung kill the A70Because the A70 series has been replaced with the FE models, you silly goose>nerf the A50 seriesPerhaps the previous A50 models were subpar but the latest A55 is genuinely very good and offers things that were not present before at it's price point
am I misinformed or is n71 band important to have? because barely any phones have it.
all i do on my phone is browse 4chan on kuroba, text people occasionally, and watch youtubeshould i just get an iphone

I made the mistake of buying a Samsung A15 and the experience has been nothing but frustrating. I've used similarly cheap Chinkphones in the past and they've been fine, this is truly bottom of the barrel.>slow>buggy touchscreen>need to unlock it for basic actions like turning on hotspot>OneUI keyboard is less customisable than XiaomiWhile I try to get a refund, I will be looking at other options.

what's the scoop on these Foldable phones? I was looking at the Pixel 9 and saw it has a foldable. So it turns into a mini tablet? Any time you would use it that way wouldn't you be wishing you just had a regular tablet
>>102962651the screen weak is a meme. if you're fine spending tons on a product that breaks easier than a regular phone, go for it, otherwise, avoid it

I'll keep an eye on the OP13 but I think I'll stick with the note for a while.
>>102962651>what's the scoop on these Foldable phones?They're good and fun. Moto's Razr 2023 and 2024 and Galaxy's Z Fold can be turned into desktops. >Any time you would use it that way wouldn't you be wishing you just had a regular tabletNah, tablets are just huge phones that can't make phone calls. The next step up would be 2-in-1 laptops. Tablets in 2024 are useless unless you're a toddler or an old person. Hybrids of tablets (foldables, 2-in-1 laptops) make so much more sense.
>>102962706>>Grandma gives me her old Note 20 UltraSee if you can trade it in.
>>102962819replace the battery instead
I got oneplus ace 3is it normal that the phone is slightly warm even I'm just web browsing?I read that new rom need time to adjust. It should be better in a week. Is that true
>>102962819Nah, I doubt it's worth anything and I do like certain things about it. >>102962849How much would this help? Not sure if I want to go through the effort for ~15% improvements.On a typical day I'm left with less than 20% battery by the time I go to bed at 10 or 11. On my Nord 2, I could comfortably get 1.5 to 2 days on a charge and always had more than 35% battery left.
>9a gets rid of unsightly camera bump>but it's bigger than 8aGod fucking dammit I hate modern smartphone design. Even the "compact" phones are huge.

Two months with the Pixel 9 Pro XL and for the most part I haven't really missed Samsung that much. I still have my OG Galaxy Buds Pro and a Galaxy Watch 6 Classic but I'm not really using them, might get a Pixel Watch 3 but the Pixel Buds Pro 2 sucked, horrible ANC quality and weird audio issues.Is anyone else going to stick with Pixel? Is this just the stopgap until the S25 series?
>>102951918Or a foldable?
>>102964261I was probably raped as a kid but I'm still cheerful and moving forward. also do only android phones give you the option of having a hidden folder and filming while the screen is off? sometimes I like to sneak into the park's bathrooms to check out cute guys taking a piss or taking off their wet undies. I got a photographic memory so I can clearly remember their naked bits but I wanna have some back up.
>>102964453it's adults you film, right?
>>102964547Yeah. I love older men. It's my fetish. I haven't gotten a boyfriend yet because I don't want my papa to get jelly of someone as old of him. I'll take care of him until he peacefully passes away under my care.
>>102964667Older guys can be cute too. And they are so fluffy when you hug them. I can't get enough of the "old man" smell whenever I wash papa's clothes.

She thought there were gay creeps everywhere. but maybe it was a cute old man in a McDonald's bathroom. I used to go to lots of birthday parties at McDonald's and my parents just dropped me there instead of staying with me like other parents did.
>MFW nobody wants to talk about smartphones>MFW people would rather just talk about gay shitYou dumb butt hurt gay boys are a disgrace to the human race!>>102964860>i'm a cute young guyNo you're not, you ugly virgin!
The S24FE should've had the SD 8 Gen 2 instead of a cucked version of the already shady Exynos.
>>102965018I'm not ugly. I just don't have a bf because, other than not wanting to hurt papa's feelings, I start to shiver like crazy and puke whenever I start getting horny with other people.Papa bought me a bunch of stuff to build a gym at home so I can stay cute and /fit/.
>>102965028Agreed. But benchmarks say it's pretty amazing.
>>102965046The battery life on paper looks disappointing for such a large battery. Looks about on par with the S24 Exynos with it's smaller battery.
>>102956536It's 3 months

>>102965046>falling for the benchmarks memelollmao even
>>102965126I love the s21's plastic back, but if it overheats the glue melts, probably an Exynos problem, but something to consider.

>>102965311Yeah, the regular s21 can overheat enough for the glue to weaken and the back plactic will pull away from the frame. the same thing could happen with the One Plus 3, only with that phone, the screen would fall off
>>102965311Nice one, zoomer. I guess you think Nokia 3310 was a shoddy device too.
>>102965365i knew you had this exact conversation before and you still strawman as you did with that guy. guess some retards never learn anything from past experiences.>>102860627>>102861227>>102863367>>102867096dumbphone era's plastic back are held to the phone by a locking mechanism, usually sliding hooks, not any glue or tape. in addition, they don't run hot enough from heavy processing workloads or high connectivity throughput for the potential issue of heat dissipation and deformity to be a viable issue.so, no, i'm not talking about dumpphone plastic backs, since you're too retarded to realize this fact.
>>102962032>W995This phone was amazing, best audio quality I've heard from a phone 3.5 jack, it even had a playable Sonic 2 that was fun with the keys.
>>102951100>headphone jackcan't you just use a fucking dongle? it's really not a problem
>>102965447Obviously the solution is to bring back said locking mechanism. Glue is a shoddy method for achieving IP rating and the heat affects it even on phones with glass backs, not just plastic.

I have never in my life paid bought new smartphone nor I paid more than 100 dollars. Are there any options if I wanted something with decent camera that wouldn't be a new smartphone or a flagship?Would it be better to buy 'old used' flagship or slighty newer (still used) mid-ranger?

>>102967182Get the Xperia 10 V then. Stop being a broke bitch and get your money up.
>>102949950Have recently been thinking of upgrading from my cheapo phone to something I can emulate GBA and DS games on. Any recommendations? I know there's emulators for both on Android but I have only ever used the bare minimum for phones so I have no clue what sort of specs I should look for, what emulators to use (how do single screen phones handle dual screen emulation?) or what sort of controller accessory I should get (namely one that fits onto the phone like a shell). I'm not even necessarily looking for top of the line, I'm not looking to play good looking but overly monetized Korean mobile games, just emulation without stutters or stability issues.
>>102967236why pay for something not worth getting at its price?even if i had all the monies in the world, i still wouldn't buy something at a price it isn't worth.
whats the most powerful phone? the most powerful one i know is the redmagic 9s pro with its overclocked snapdragon 8 gen 3
>>102967360>emulate GBA and DSsister... even the shittiest of droids from a decade ago can emulate those two. if those are your only criteria, you can pick literally any modern smartphone at any price point so that no matter how shitty the phone turns out, it'd still be able to emulate these two.>>102967383whatever comes out released with S8 Elite in a few months. i'm thinking s25 line and xiaomi something?

thoughts about nubia?
>>102967421>>102967492Haha wow I'm really out of the loop then. I've mostly been focused on PC and handheld gaming so phones were always an afterthought. >citraThere's phones that can run that!? I didn't think 3ds emu was even on the table. What do I look for in terms of specs? RAM is obvious but I'm guessing I should go to comparison sites to figure out what snapdragon this or that actually means in terms of performance.
>>102967658lmao.wait till you learn phones can emulate switch and ps3.and possibly ps4 next year if shadPS4 devs stepped up their efforts.
>>102967658I have a Mediakek phone so Yuzu (Switch) is ass, along with the Vita 3k (psvita). Could run a few of them like P4 Golden but I can wait. Am content with Ps2 atm.Btw, there's also Winlator now for modern Snapdragon devices, something that totally won't work on my mediakek.
>>102967749You're genuinely blowing my mind anon, I've only recently started hearing about phones being usable for games other than candy crush type garbage. Wouldn't the phone start heating up emulating those though? The original hardware had fans and emulation is generally less efficient than original hardware, so even with a sufficiently powerful chip wouldn't your phone get toasty? It's not like it has fans. Also if switch is on the table that means GameCube and Wii are too, that's actually crazy to me.
>>102967783wtf why not? is there some specific ISA feature set snaps have that mediateks don't that make them not work?cause, if not, maybe future-gen mediateks may have a chance.>>102967820yes, they will heat up a lot, so you need one of those meme phone fan clip-ons or stay A/C'd if you're in tropical countries. for me personally, i just cycle through ice packs in the freezer.if you can keep the device cool somehow, it won't be hot enough to start throttling.

>>102968130>7 to 7.5 inch phoneI'm the compact phone kind of guy but this is actually kinda cool. Only a matter of time before mainstream phones start breaching the 7 inch barrier, I guess. I can just see the iPhone 18 Pro Gigantamax at 7.3 inches.
How long should I use a new phone before writing a review and what are some task you think anons would want to know about?I'm going to make a review for my Razr plus 2024
with all the new "fast adaptive charging". Does any battery app still useful nowadays ?I remember accubattery was a thing 5-10 years ago. Not sure if it's caught up with modern hardware
>>102968316Sometimes it works other times it don't I wish there was more fine control
Qrd on mediatek and unlocking/rooting
>charge to 100% and use down to 0% and kill the battery in 2 years>charge to 80% and discharge to 20% and the battery still degrades anyways and you can only use 60% of it at a timeIt really is a lose-lose situation with smartphones, huh? Wasn't an issue when I was capped to 1GB per month, but ever since I got a decent data cap 3-4 years ago it's been hell for my devices and I can't decide how to go about charging them.My previous phone the Moto Edge 20 killed itself after 2 years of usage. The battery life was absolute unholy utter dog shit so I sold it for 100 bucks, and then the buyer told me it just stopped turning on a month later so he broke it in half over his knee.Now I'm worried if my Galaxy S23 will also kill itself after 2 years if I charge it to full and use the whole battery every day.
>>102968422I recklessly charged my one plus 7T and it's working without issue I'm worried about my current phone with how things are currently running.
>>102968393you probably need an usb tester to test charging rate.Apps can only "guess". Adaptive fast charge charges phone at different rates, depend on percentage and temp. I doubt that a mere app can calculate that.
>>102968234there have been a few 7"+ slab phones before but they were mostly flashes in a pan and didn't pick up as much sales since the market consensus since 2019 was that 6.7"-6.9" is about the upper limit the consumer is willing to tolerate. it depends on whether other vendors veer in the same direction before 7"+ becomes the new mainstream.>>102968316not that useful these days since they use system API to query battery metrics which battery section in system settings are already telling you enough about anyway. for finer metrics like spontaneous voltage and shit, system information apps like CPU-Z and AIDA64 or just dumpsys battery already does that accurately for you.>>102968422i'd pick the former. battery replacement is very cheap and you can replace them yourself. i bought three to spare and i haven't even replaced the one that came with my s20u yet.

>>102967658For 3ds emulation, you might want Snapdragon 865, 8+ Gen 1, 8 Gen 2 or 8 Gen 3. Avoid Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1, they're both known to throttle.You can use the first link in the OP to search phones by chipsets.
>>102968278>How long should I use a new phone before writing a reviewA month. >what are some task you think anons would want to know about?Motorola's Ready For. Just wanna see how good the desktop mode is. Also the fast charging. Show all the things you can do on the outer screen.
With a trade-in and an offer Samsung and Currys have at the moment, I can trade in my Note20 Ultra for a S24 ultra for £871.20Is it worth considering, or should I wait for the S25 in a few months? Other than the horrible battery life I can't complain about my Note20 Ultra
>>102968422>>charge to 80% and discharge to 20% and the battery still degrades anyways and you can only use 60% of it at a timeActually the battery degrades way slower if you charge to only 80%.Charging to 100% is 1 battery cycle. Charging to 80% is 0.2 battery cycles. Charging to 80% twice in a day does less strain than charging it to 100% once. You don't have to charge to 80% every night, just do it on the nights that you know you'll be home.
Is there something equivalent to Viper4Android but for Apple. Need some system wide audio equalizer/tuner for my Ipad Mini 6.Don't say there is none.

I have a limited budget and my options are either Pixel 8a or Pixel 7 Pro. Which should I get?
I'm about to buy an Xperia 1 VI. I don't play games. What other cheaper options are available to me if I don't want to give up any of the features, in particular the expandable storage, 3.5mm jack, and bandwidth compatibility between Japan and Canada?
>>1029692707 Pro has better hardware overall, but 8a has better support, and slightly better SoC. I personally like 7P better, but it's upto you.
>>102969319>>102968576only thing I'm not sure of is band compatibility. need to check that. Motorola is usually good about that though.
>>102968853flips don't have Ready For, silly.
do i want UWB support??
>>102969441Motorola's do.
>>102969270go with 8a if you don't use camera muchthe only thing i can see that would matter is the camera
>>1029692708a has much more support but if you care about memory or something get the 7P.
>>102969571>razr+ 2024>not a flipngmi
>>102969338>>102969605>>102969633How much does the software support matter overall? Would it make the 8a the overall better option?
>can get better-featured phones outside usa>they have shitty reception in usai hate the frequency meme
>>102966283I like to pretend there's creepy old men hacking into my camera to watch me masturbate in my room. It makes me nut harder.
>>102969687you said you were on a budget, and if so, keeping the 8a for longer amortizes to less cost overall
>>102969270How long are you planning on keeping it? Pixel 7 Pro MAY get its last OS update next year October, with a couple years of security updates.8a on the other hand has support until 2031 both OS and security updates. Even if you want to run GrapheneOS you need current Google updates or you don't get updates for GrapheneOS. The main differences between the two is size, 7 Pro is larger... Telephoto camera on the 7 Pro can take great pics from far away, 8a doesn't have it... finally, I'm pretty sure the 8a has a plastic frame but I could be mistaken.
>>102970513i wonder why we're buying into this 7year update memelike tmobile actually kept its price guarantee or some shit
>>102969364>>102968576It looks alright I guess, but that stylus seems really useless. I'm not concerned with going that low in price though, I'd like a better camera. I'm almost buying the Xperia 10 vi but it doesn't have a fucking notification LED. That's basically how I rely on getting notifications on my current phone, OnePlus 3t.
>>102970626Because this is a global contract between the end user and a company. Whyle the US laws are retarded, the rest of the world will burry them in depth if they dare breach it.
