I shoved my shitty xr into some girl's face and didn't get laid. Why did you guys lie to me?
Why shouldn't I get an 1 VI and put LineageOS on it?
>>102991757big black what edition?
>>102991987Do it.
>>102991987Spending $1k+ on an 8G3 phone with the 8 Elite right around the corner is kind of a waste of money in my opinion, not worth the SD slot or 3.5mm
A few days ago I got a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and I noticed my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE's battery has started going down really fast. Does the connectivity between the phone and the watch affect the battery of the phone?
These flip phones are made for women so they can fit better in their smaller pockets and purses. No man has ever had a need for a smaller phone. Too bad for Samsung and Motorola that women only want iPhones. If you’re a man with one of these please kill yourself at your earliest convenience.
>>102993412yeah since it's track your healthdata in realtime
>>102993540this but also every other types of foldables
Thanks to the advice I received from here I've narrowed down my search for an emulation phone between two options.The budget option is a Motorola Edge+ 2020, used for a mere $150, has the snapdragon 865 which I was told could run citra, and therefore would have no problems with ds and gba on top of that. The more expensive option I found that seems to fit my criteria is a One Plus Ace 3 which has a snapdragon 8 gen 2 for ~$420. Both have 12gb RAM and 256gb internal storage. Is there any particular benefit I would get for spending the extra money as far as emulating Nintendo handhelds go?
>>102993855rip citra. pretty sure Lime3DS is a reliable windows/android fork
>6.7" screen basically becoming the minimum Make it stop
>>102993584If I turn off bluetooth on my phone does that hinder my watch's health tracking in any way or will it still track everything and transmit all the data next time I connect them?
>>102993855>Is there any particular benefit I would get for spending the extra money as far as emulating Nintendo handhelds go?Better switch emulation on the 8G2 if we're counting that as a handheld
>>102990814Lots of people recommend the Ultra variation of the Samsung s galaxy but I will never use the gay stylus.Should I just get the plus instead?
>>102992311What will the 8 elite do that is so ground breaking
>>102993540Idk man, having a foldable is all about feeling. It just feels cool to have the newest piece of technology. Kinda like how people buy the iPhone off of feeling.
>>102994364>gaymen manchild
>>102994307You don't HAVE to use the Stylus.
>>102994394Seems like a waste of money then no?
>>102994364gaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!
>>102994425No. Bigger screen, better cameras, 100x zoom.
>>102994453Why are you screaming your sexual orientation at us?
>>102994364>just feels cool to have the newest piece of technologyMUST CONSOOOOOM
>>102993922Thanks for the heads up>>102994270Switch would be nice but I doubt I'm getting good frame rate either way unless I'm going for a really high end phone, at which point I'd rather just use my switch.
>>102994460>100x zoomYou really think it has 100x optical zoom? No, it's digital. 5x optical zoom digitally enhanced to 100x and using AI to fill in details. Looks like a painting most of the time in the details.
I have a Poco F5 in Canada and wonder if these ranges from Bell are decent enough for daily use?
Is there any way to have a cool AI woman voice giving me answers to questions in widget form without paying anything? preferably if she also gives google results
>>102995099Sorry, the world just isn't ready for full on ai virtual assistant waifus
>>102994319Provide comparable performance to the iPhone A18 Pro in single core and better multicore performance (due to being Octacore instead of A18 Hexacore). But it runs at a very high frequency. So who knows?
>>102995065>You really think it has 100x optical zoom?No one said that bucko.
>OP's picOh yeah, lemme just take half the phone's real state to put 4 miserable cameras instead of moving the to the side.
The Samsung A55 is currently at 300€ on Amazon France, is there any other alternatives in the same price range ? Battery is more important than photos, and I don't play so I don't care that much about perf.
i need to upgrade from my S8 since the usb port has shit the bed and i can no longer transfer my pirated flacs onto it. i only use my phone to shitpost, check crypto and stonks, and play music. whats your rec, /g/?
>>102995517depends if you have any requirements for size
>>102995553preferably not much larger than the S8, it kinda seems like all new phones are fairly large though
>>102995387Samsung S10 Poco f5 or x6 pro
>>102995517Some used Sony if you need a headphone jack and SD card support for your highrez audio listening and storage needs. Xperia 5 V can be found used for like 600-650 eurodollars. It's relatively compact too.If you don't need the jack and SD card support you could look into a Galaxy S23 for the best value for money compact Samsung experience in current year. If that's too expensive, then you have to settle for a large phone, and the Galaxy A55 is really great value for around 300 eurodollars, which has SD card but not 3.5mm jack.You can also get an 3.5mm jack on the Redmi Note 13 Pro, but it's big and chinkware, so that might not be your thing, or 3.5mm AND sd card slot on the Xperia 10 VI or 10 V (both same size), but those are overpriced and lack performance for snappy daily shitposting.Basically pick your poison at this point kek
>>102991757I pulled the trigger and got an used Galaxy Tab A8 for cheap, also found a cheap case for it too, alongside a small keyboard and mouse, I already have a capacitive stylus to go along with it too. I never had much interest in tablets, but my GF's iPad made me turn my head, so I wanted to try it out with something cheap first before I commit to an expensive flagship. I'll mostly use it to post here, consume content, read books and manga, and emulate up to PS1, also draw a bit aswell.What am I in for?
Ive had two tabs and I always end up opting for my phone 98% of the time, except for reading ebooks
>>102995517S23 or S24 depending on your budget.
>>102995809honestly, cheap and expensive tablets are a world apart. the difference in performance, screen quality, sound and pen support is worth paying for.
>>102995758>Basically pick your poison at this point kekyou arent kidding, holy fuck. probably gonna settle for a S23 256GB and get some 3.5mm dongle, A55 with a case seems wayyy too big
>>102995189You're not funny or cute, you butt hurt silly boy!
Really funny how Xiaomi stopped updating the X3 Pro right before the security update that fixes the webp vulnerability
>>102996701>daily drive x3 pro>webp vulnerabilityt-the what now?
>>102996740From Wikipedia "In September 2023, two critical vulnerabilities relating to WebP images were discovered by Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) and the Citizen Lab, potentially affecting Google Chrome, Chromium-based browsers and the libwebp project from Google, among any application implementing libwebp. Among these vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-4863 was an actively exploited vulnerability with a high risk rating of CVSS 8.8. This could lead to an out of bounds/overflow condition in applications using the affected libwebp library, upon exploitation of a maliciously crafted .webp lossless file. This could result in a denial of service (DoS), or worse, enabling malicious remote code execution (RCE). The extensive use of libwebp packages across hundreds of applications, including all categories from web browsers to mobile apps, posed a major patching challenge to mitigate the vulnerability due to the demanding testing requirements before release, highlighting the implications of this vulnerability on a wide scale."
I am still using a pixel 5such a good phone. battery is showing some age but gets me through a full day of shitposting when I'm supposed to be working still the days are numbered but for now we soldier on. also I am not replacing the battery as the phone will never be the same again after my ham fists have gotten through with it.
>>102992311>keep waiting because there's always the next best shiny slop around the corner
>>102994319>>102995129>So who knows?There's already numbers out for the Xiaomi 15/Pro. Battery, performance, etc all significantly better than the 8G3 and even the A18 Pro. Just see pic related, even the base Xiaomi 15 has better battery life than the 16 Pro Max.
>>102996858If it was literally any other 8 Gen 3 phone it would be fine since most are reasonably priced by now. But Sony still insists on selling them at a premium and consequently even the used market doesn't offer much savings. But if he wants to pay over a grand for last year's specs he's free to do so.
fucking phips can't transfer my # because they don't like my international phonei hate usa cell companies so much its unreal
>>102996906>Chink benchmarksDo you want to buy a bridge? It's likely more reputable.
>>102997580Its from geekerwan, but if you want to wait for gaijin benchmarks in a few days/weeks that's fine too.
>>102997671Battery benchmarks are notoriously unreliable. Maybe they did a test that benefits Xiaomi unintentionally, like a web page optimized more for mobile Chrome instead of Safari.
>>102994243Your phone will blame you for losing a friend.Murder will quickly follow
>>102997894It mentions what apps they used for battery testing: wechat, tiktok, bilibili, genshin. Of course real world use will vary but the early numbers are really promising.
>>102997995So chink apps that no one in the West uses.I'll wait for more benchmarks like the gsmarena ones which tend to be more reliable.>We opened BaiduChat for 15 minutes and then opened PresidentXiCam for 20 minitesStatements of the utterly deranged
>>102998331>no one uses Tiktok or GenshitOK Rajesh. I'm sure gsmarena is going to uncover this chink conspiracy to make the Snapdragon look good.
>>102996906Did you conveniently ignore the actual battery capacity?
>>102998664Yeah cause the extra 600mAh from the 14 Pro to the 15 explains the extra 2 hours of battery life. Not too bright
>>102998751Yeah I can tell you're not very bright so let me help you out.ChinkPhone 15 Pro has 31.7% more battery capacity than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, yet only 13.96% more in terms of battery life. So chinks are still lagging behind Apple, as usual.
>>102998821I'm referring to the improvements between the 8G3 and the 8 Elite. The original reply chain was about the improvement of the 8E and why spending a lot of money on a 8G3 phone right now isn't a good idea. The iphone comparison was more of a throwaway comment but obviously that rustled some feathers.
>>102991924lol, he fell for the curry nigger's forced meme. >>102992107kikes
Yesterday I got a s24U. saved about 700 and got a $100 gift card to boot. The s-pen is pretty useless because it just doesn't feel good in the hand and the screen size just doesn't suit the pen. maybe if I had teeny tiny gook hands I'd find a use for it, but as it stands, outside of using the pen to scroll, I'm not gonna use it. The phone itself is really great, the screen is fantastic - I did lower the refresh rate to 60 to help conserve battery. Overall, very happy, minus the s-pen being a meme, oh and the purple colour isn't as vibrant as the s21
>>102993540The only thing stopping me from getting a z-flip is the awkward aspect ratio of 22:9 which is elongated compared to the typical 19.5:9 typically seen on the iPhone/Samsung devices. I also assume they'll also update the camera to be more in line with a s24u in a year or so.
>>102999620>niggers get LTPO display, throttle to 60Many such cases
>>102999870I'm used to 60 and I want to conserve battery life.
Reminder that the Edge 50 Neo exists:>compact, grippy, light>triple camera setup>IP68>5 years of updates, Motorola Android with minimal bloat>affordable
>>102999958does it heat up though? Im still gonna give the nothing phone a shot, but if it doesnt work out I'll look into this
>>102999958>affordableYes. Overpriced for that hardware? Also yes. For 400 euro a phone better have a decent 7-series Snapdragon and not a fucking mediakek.
>>102951100>can't you just use something that breaks after a couple weeks of use even if you paid $50 for it? it's really not a problemNo.>nooooo if you don't throw your money away you're a poorfag!!!>>102967072Nah, Samsung fanboys are worse. They do the exact same shit as Apple fanboys but at least Apple fanboys don't pretend that they never used to be on the other side.>>102987035>google>best display>oneplus>best optimizationLol. Lmao even.
>>102996701>>102996740>>102996775Just flash a custom ROM bro
>>102991757I have a $200 discount code, what phone should i get?i have a month to use it so i'll wait and see if the motorolas come back in stock.tempted to just get the x lite desu but dual sim would be nice and i dont think it has it.
>>103000144I wouldn't get any of them until that whole 3g shutdown is finished. I heard that a ton of phones are gonna become brick soon. New Zealand might be a fake and gay cuntry, but then I remember that Australia will always be faker and gayer than us
>>103000168these are meant to work on the 'new' network, the provider offers them to ppl using phones they say wont work.
>>103000074you are wrong
>>102996013>S23 256gbGood call. The 128gb one has UFS3.1 only. Truly a pick your poison segment.

I have an iPhone 13 pro max on iOS 15.3.1. Some of my apps need me to update the OS so I can keep using them. Is it possible to jailbreak the latest iOS?
>>103000846have you tried googling that?
>>103000877No
"Samsung Ecosystem" is some schizo shit. I understand Applefags and their ecosystem, but if you have a Samsung phone you can easily have Sony earphones, Xiaomi smartwatch, Lenovo laptop, custom-built desktop PC, etc. and it will all just work together. Pair the accessories to your Samsung phone and install their apps, get Phone Link on your computers, it just fucking works.I've seen posts of people making a full transition from Appleshit to Samsung, and they replaced not just their iPhone with a Galaxy, but their iPad, Macbook, Watch, Aipods, everything, with the Samsung equivalent. So retarded. I think only the watch is not compatible with a Galaxy phone.
>>103000877NeverMind my question the later iOS sent jailbreakable yet
>>103000929some features from the galaxy watch (ecg, blood pressure) are locked to galaxy phones, but it's easy enough to get around it. i think the only thing that doesn't work on non samsung phones is using your phone's camera remotely
>>103000929I don't think anyone on the android side is ever gonna have the full stack like apple does. the closest synergy competitor apple has is Huawei, but they're stuck in China right now.>>103001033the thing about galaxy watches is that their readings are unreliable compared to say the apple watch. At least that's what a lot of my research has shown me
>>102991757This looks like a budget Redmi device. WTF were they thinking?
thoughts on the sony xperia? just ordered the xperia 1 vi since asus phones are unreliable. i currently have the rog phone 6
>>103001229Probably the best Xperia for awhile. 4k screen was a meme. That said, camera is still gimped by the software. Also, I'm not a fan of the UI. They have the least amount of customisation compared to other OEMs using stock android.
>>102999918it literally won't matter. your screen drops to 1hz when nothing is moving. retard.>>102997355i hate it i hate it i hate it. our phone companies have become just internet companies. you used to be able to put a SIM in anything and if it had the bands, it would try to work. now, you put a SIM in a perfectly capable phone and it "works" but then you get a text saying it won't work and it shuts off service because it's not on a whitelist.VoLTE and the 2G/3G shutdown was a huge mistake and the FCC is a lousy sack of shit. I can't believe there's no native way to place a phone call over a cellular network these days.
>>103001229jealous of the insane battery life on that thing
Reminder to NEVER trust Samshit's performance.>the ABSOLUTE STATE of One UI
there isn't a smartwatch general, so is the pixel watch 3 any good? I was looking at buying one to mainly track my sleeping.
>>103001383>The only close to being white phoneAnd oneplus, maybe.
>>102991757>BBKXi Jinping thanks you for your loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.
I've been calling out for a pure white flagship phone for ages. Every OEM is producing off-white, piss-stain colors. And chinkphones not to release their white models globally for some reason. Apple were the only one to oblige, with not one but TWO options, so that's who I'm going with.
>>103001626/spg/ incels will NOT like this.
>>103001626You don't like Samsung's "cream" color?
>>103001642Not really. The Galaxy family looked much better in white.

>>102991757Anons, my iPhone XS Max is now EOL and I'd like to buy an android phone... annoyingly my current phone has started to noticeably degrade in perf and it's getting absurd. I'd like to get an android that will last preferably multiple years with good battery life and decent performance over time, I don't really care about any other features or brands or whatever the fuck. What should I buy?
>>103001997S23UNow is the best time to get one for a good price
Can any anons help me with this? been having these problems where opening the camera took quite a long time, and when it do, it lags after a few secs or so. Not just on the camera app, but any other that has the photo functionGot in an awkward situation when i was holding the line at the grocer, and need to pull up the camera for QR-paymentfone is LG V50 with android 12.btw fuck this verizon version in particular, i didn't know that you can't use the dual screen option with this
>>103002018Thanks desu, I'll check it out- but I forgot to mention that I'm looking for cheaper mid range phones
>>103001997Seconding something from the S23 series.>great chip worldwide>base model is compact>plus model has great battery life>ultra model has great cameras AND battery life>currently on Android 14, with guaranteed updates up to Android 17 + one extra year of security patchesThe small base model can be had for well under 600 euro brand new, and even under 500 or even 450 euro if you're looking second hand. The Plus and the Ultra are more expensive, but should still be more reasonable than similarly aged iPhones.
>>103002046>>103002062 (me)>cheaper midrange phonesUsed S23 is very similarly priced to lots of midrangers. The Galaxy A55, Nothing Phone 2a (or the 2a Plus), Poco X6 Pro, Poco F6, etc. are decent midrange options, but long-term software support and performance are always dubious on these kinds of bang for your buck devices.
>>103001953Based fellow Nothing 2 haver.
>>103001951Samsung S24
>>103000929It's pretty based ngl.
>>103001090>I don't think anyone on the android side is ever gonna have the full stack like apple does.Re-read his post. He's saying how amazing it is that Samsung can mix and match with other devices seamlessly making a bigger ecosystem. >the thing about galaxy watches is that their readings are unreliable compared to say the apple watch.They're both pretty fucking unreliable based on a test MBKHD did. He took 1000 steps and both were inaccurate. Only the Samsung ring was closest to being accurate.
>>103001383I would never buy a single phone on that list besides Samsung so. Samsung wins again.
>>103001997>>103002046Maybe the S24 FE is what you want? But yeah, you can find a new S23 Ultra for a decent price on ebay if anything.
>>103002346Why not just get a Galaxy 6 Classic Watch?
>>103001383>the absolute state of androidI might become an itoddler in 3 years when I have to change my phone
>A55 will disconnect and reconnect at random and stop charging>Only way I can prevent it is by disabling fast charge.It's over.
>>103002697i'm using samsung myself but this is just crackship-level cope.
>>102994193Get a flip foldable and reject modern reality
>>102993540Sounds like sour grapes, my foldable is pretty great especially when in the gym because there's less to clean when it's folded and it's like slightly bulkier mp3 player. There's also nothing wrong with wanting to lower your edc blueprint. I started minimizing a lot of my every day carry so that I can have less things to worry about and have things fit well in my clothes, I can understand you not getting it if you're a fat fuck or a NEET
I am bald. What should I get:- S24 Ultra- iPhone 16 Pro Max- Pixel 9 Pro XLS24 Ultra is the cheapest option but it's gook shit. Pixels tend to have weird quirks. iPhone is iPhone
>>103003718I'm balding and have an S23. The logical step after going fully bald seems to be the Ultra.
>>103003744That sounds logical. How did you get used to the samshit proprietary apps?
>>103003718>>103003744I'm not bald at all and I use the legendary Motorola G54!I have objectively amazing genetics!Also, your heads are brighter than your future because they're so shiny!
>>103003786Uninstalled the microsoft shite, linkedin and facebook, but kept the Samsung apps. Their Gallery, Files, Dialer, Calculator, Calendar, Alarm Clock, Wearable, Health, etc. apps all do the basics that their app type is supposed to do. However I use Gboard, Google Wallet, Google Translate, Chrome and Google Messages, because they're better than the samsung equivalent.TLDR: some are good and you can uninstall the shit ones as any other app

>>103006010>Samsung GalaxyIt's definitely bigger than my current phone. No thanks.>>103006017Also no headphone port
Anyone have a possible solution or am I just screwed on this one. Got a Galaxy A15 only to find out this shit doesn't have a wave to wake gesture in the year 2024. Any 3rd party work arounds for this or am I just sol?
>>103006032Get an used XZ1 Compact, have the battery replaced, and install a custom ROM on it with Android 12 or newer. You can probably find one for under $150. Battery replacement shouldn't be too expensive either. There's LineageOS support up to Android 14 for that phone as well. Has SD card slot and 3.5mm jack, but not too much internal storage. The chip is rather old, but it's a flagship, so you'll probably be fine for daily whatevers.
>>103006081That seems like a pretty good size, what are some of the downsides?
>>103006148It's a very old phone (2017) with a less efficient chip than modern flagships, and with a small battery. It also lacks modern nice-to-haves like OLED screen, high refreshrate, multiple cameras, etc.If you're fine with that size, you could also consider an iPhone 13 Mini, which is much newer and will remain fully supported by Apple for at least 3 more years, while the Sony relies on fan support.
>>103006222>AppleNo thanks.Honestly looking at the XZ1 it's got more features than I'd like in general. Why does it have a 3D scanning app, for example?
>>103006267>Why does it have a 3D scanning app, for example?You won't see any of that if you get a custom rom. Even if you decide to keep it stock on Android 9, you can just uninstall all of that shit either directly from the phone itself or through ADB. I've debloated the one I have with ADB, but I just keep it around as a novelty item, because the earpiece speaker is dead and the battery is rather degraded. My uncle gave it to me a few years ago because I was fascinated with how small it was, he had been daily driving it until a few months prior to giving it to me.
>>103006311Thanks for the help.I'm not suoer knowledgeable about specs, how would you say this phone compares to the Universe Jelly Max? I ask because it seems like it's about the same price point, and the Jelly is a little smaller. It doesn't have a headphone jack, but they include an adapter so at least that's something.
>>103003718iPhone
>>103006334Jelly Max is likely much better, if you can handle just how thick it is - 16mm vs 9.3mm on the Sony. Modern chip, lots of ram and storage, big battery (for a 5 inch phone, bigger than my S23 that's 6.1 inch), fast charging. Screens are probably comparable in quality.Worth if if you want to take the risk of ordering one. I'm not familiar with how good the company and their products are in reality, but on paper it's pretty damn good if you ignore the thickness.
>>103006379The thickness doesn't even seem like an issue to me. Phones are too wide and thin now in my opinion.I might take the gamble on that.Any anons here use Unihertz products before? Would love some honest feedback
Why is it okay for everyone to steal magsafe functionality in the market?
>>103005367>GSMarenaJust straight facts, no gimmicks. Doesn't compare every android to iPhones like some others. Pretty much is able to review the majority of phones that get released. >Mr. MobileSolid all around, thorough reviews that gives details about everyday use. Isn't an Apple shill. >Reviews by EllaShe's good but only focuses on Samsung and Apple. Needs to branch out more. Mr. Whosetheboss and MBKHD are complete Apple shills, not worth paying attention to. Both don't review the majority of phones that get released.
>>103005367>>103006443Tech Spurt is alright, he's just gotta chill with the sex jokes. Don't wanna hear that from a bald middle aged man lol.
>>103005367Android Digest. It's a smaller channel but I like the way he showcases how smoothly some of the budget phones scroll on browsers or apps. I don't do gaming, and everytime I see a YouTuber have their performance section be all about gaming, I roll my eyes. I don't want gaming, I just want to know if the Dimensity 6100 can run 120Hz consistently on Chrome or YouTube without shitting the bed. Few YouTubers do that.
>>103006460>he's just gotta chill with the sex jokesI must be the target audience for his channel, because I kek at his jokes every time. I've heard some mind boggling shit come out of that man's mouth on camera. His whole drunk british ojisan persona is hilarious.

>>103006984We're just *today* getting new on-device AI stuff being rolled out to people with relatively recent phones. The pace of change is going to accelerate, not stagnate.

I don't really know shit about carrier frequencies, but I am looking at how the Redmi Note 13 Pro works with Verizon.is this good coverage? i dont usually get 5G in my area anyways, so full 4G is good enough right?
>>103007667Depends on your use case scenario. 5G is only really good for heavy shit like streaming videos at 4k or something like that. But if you don't need it, 4G is more than good enough. I have 5G disabled on my Pixel 7a because it just turns the shit into a oven anyway
>>103007701Ok great, 4G has always done the needful well enough.
/spg/ - small penis general
>>103005871sleep tracking on it is garbage
>>103007815Be nice, you butt hurt dumb boy!Also, my penis is slightly bigger than my legendary Motorola G54!
>>103007962The NA version of the G54 is the G Power 5G 2024, and it's an impeccable phone with the PixelOS GSI slapped on it. It's such a treat to use
>>103006698Exynos is trash in any prolonged workloads. Cope.
Any smart phones without selfie cameras? I don't use them.
>>103006925I'm using Firefox nightly, which browser should I use
>>103008118RedMagic has an under display camera.
>>103008221Nah, I don't want one at all. Any options?
I've just installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 Pro. For those who have it, what do you have installed?
>>103008233Open it up and disconnect it. RM phones are easy to take apart.
>>103008251Never thought to do this, good idea
>Always get told iPhones are good and intuitive>Everything needs to be logged in 15 times>Not intuitive at all>Uploading to iCloud just says error, nothing else, won't sync for some reason>Uploading through cable just crashes constantlypiece of junk
I bought a iPhone 16 pro and a Xperia 1 VI and was going to return one of them. Guess what, I returned both of em and will keep using my Pixel 7. New phones are impressively unimpressive. There is nothing good on the horizon either.
If I sell them my s23+ I can get the s24u for this much.Worth it?
>>103008365S25U with Snapdragon 8 Elite in like 3 months bwo save your money
>>103008365I would escape the scamsung ecosystem all together
>>102993540No. If I wanted a tablet then I'd get one, there's no reason for phones to be so damn big.
>>103008466What do you recommend?
>>103008585Anything that runs close to stock android.
>>103008598Pixels are kinds boring and bland. What manufacturers are near stock?
>>103008607Motorola.
>>103008618I like Motorola but I don't like phones with an edge screen. It's a deal breaker for me
>>103006984We have foldable desktop/tablet/phone hybrids rn. We're at a very good place and with the next Snapdragon Elite chip coming out soon, we'll be one step closer to fully emulating Windows and playing any PC game on a phone. Just let that sink in. We can already emulate windows and play some games but not all.
>>103008645Since you're already partial to the S24 Ultra, I'd get it then. It's probably the best Android phone on the market
>>103006925I switched. You could to, if you are brave enough.
Are any of the apps on LineageOS any good? Do I replace them all with Fossify apps?

IR cameras are coming back boys. Just took them 7 years to realize they should keep them
>>103009202>Edge>No edgeWhy though
>>103009212Proves again, that Google is a software company.
>>103009212What do IR cameras do?
>>103009246Their naming conventions are enough of a clusterfuck without splitting up their higher end line into two different ones based on the type of screen
>>103009286I swear to god, consumer electronics threads are full of ...It literally says in the pic Anon>[...] adding an under-display infrared camera to the Pixel 11 generation, thus enabling secure face unlocking
>>103009286Better face detection. It's why iphones have better face unlock than basically any android phone and use it for secure stuff. Or how laptops with "windows hello" need to have an IR camera. I never got why almost no android phones other than huawei and honor ones used them.
>>103009325>>103009340I've never used face unlocking in my life so I had no idea, thanks.
>>103009286They Infinitely Rape you.
>>103009340>I never got why almost no android phones other than huawei and honor ones used them.Because chinese phones aren't beholden to Google/Android. Save for samsung, no android phone manufacturer stray too far from Google and stock android. And even then, samsung has removed their iris scanners, presumably because it was exhausting to keep maintaining that codebase. If Google actually pulls through with this, I'll bet we'll see this added to almost all androids.
I've been perfectly happy with my Motorola Moto G7 Plus so far but it seems I will no longer be able to make or receive calls once my operator retires 3G at the end of the year since it doesn't support VoLTE.What's a decent cheap Motorola / other Android phone nowadays? I paid £200 for this one back in 2019.
>>103009393>What's a decent cheap Motorola / other Android phone nowadays?I would've said Edge 40 neo (because I own one myself, bought it for 270€), but the 50 neo is out. Can't tell if it's any good.
>>103009393Also, they're retiring 3G already?? As far as I remember eCall systems for crash-detection systems run on 2G/3G networks exclusively? Are they really going to break the pozz that they've pushed hard to bring into cars for so long, just to dismantle it 5 years later?Which country, I can't believe there's politicians that are this stupid.

>>103009663Not a kangaroo (burger), but the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus looks good. Also seems to have good support for Aussie bands. I use Kimovil to see which chink phones support burger bands, but they support every country in the world.

What's the preferred way to make my Android phone upload newly taken pics vids and other files to my Linux server?It could be something that "syncs files" but that's not mandatory, I'm mostly interested the phone being the uploader.I could even consider something as crude as rsync if it was packaged neatly into the Android system.No pajeetware please.
>>103010316Immich is great for pics and videos. I think it can't do other files though. You can use syncthing or nextcloud for that
>>103010336>Immich is great for pics and videos. I think it can't do other files though.This is prime example of pajeetware. /spg/ makes me cry.
^ are you getting paid by the hour? or do you really have nothing better to do?
Just got a S24 FE and want to make sure I can scrape everything out and over from my old S6. I'd rather not use Samsung or Google's backups, so I was wondering if there is a recommended program (for Windows preferably) to manage android phones?

>>102994364I don't get the point of wanting a foldable phone thats inherently flawed by the soft screens included. I remember scratching up my handspring palm device with the stylus. The area when you handwrote would be all scratched up from the swipes. The screens had a thin film across the glass to measure taps with the stylus or fingers. Foldable screens are just too delicate. Foldables are definitely gay in that regard.
My phone just exploded, whats the closest phone nowadays to a Oneplus 7 Pro? I'm angry right now that all phones have a pin hole camera, or a camera somewhere on the front.
My Fold 4's inner screen not working after the latest update. Thanks Samsung.

>>103005367Juan Bagnell. Instead of a 1996 characters post autistic reply I've deleted it and replaced it with this text to say he's one of if not the most thorough reviewers available. Only downsides are snarkiness towards people who don't watch his videos, "BUT I DIGRESS" said instead of "but I'm not saying that haha!" after the snarkiness like it fixes anything, and only saying "megapickles" instead of "megapixels" like he's speaking to retards when discussion of the topic requires saying the word several times. You'll want to kill yourself every 3 minutes of the video, but reviews with relevant information are already dead, so it's worth putting up with his snarkiness for the information other reviews don't provide. BUT I DIGRESS.
>>103013150It may or may not be supported by iOS 19, we don't know yet. Most people didn't expect the 6S to be supported by iOS 15, either.And after it ends you still get 3 years of security updates, going by past track record. I still carry my 6S Plus around, even though it's probably in its last year of getting security updates.If you still want to upgrade though, I'd say get the 16 Plus now, wait for the 17 series to be released, or if you really want to switch to Android, get the S25U (it's Snapdragon 8 Elite worldwide) or wait for Pixel 10 Pro XL or whatever it's going to be called. TSMC Tensor will be much better than current Tensor.

>>103013258XS will likely get iOS 19 because the CPU is still capable and it has the same amount of RAM as later models that have iOS 19 guaranteed.The upside of iOS updates is that Apple doesn't guarantee shit needlessly like Google but is reasonable about putting it on devices that can handle it regardless of age. They fucked up once putting new version on a device that can't handle it but that was years ago.
>>103013753They just think it's cartoons and look cute at most. More often than not they just don't care, as if you'd just use the default wp your phone comes with.
