Bumping my question.
They don't seem like very popular devices.

>>103038134
I'm not sure I'll like the 21:9 screen ratio and I'm not sure I'll like the quality of the panel. It has 3.5mm jack and microsd, it has decent cameras, nice software support, etc...I mean, the pros clearly outweigh the cons but I never had a Sony device before.

>>103038225
>I'm not sure I'll like the 21:9 screen ratio and I'm not sure I'll like the quality of the panel.
Any irl phone stores near you? Call them up, ask if they have this device in stock and ask if you can use it in-store to see how it is.
You'll never answer these sorts of questions with a review video. You need to hold the device.

>>103038201
depends which ones you want. I had a titan pocket which I used for a year. they're built just fine and the OS is basically barebones android aside from some toolset crapware which may or may not be useful to you. I had no issues with mine and I would definitely try their other ones if I had money to burn because I think their phones are funny looking

>>103038284
I'm thinking of getting the Jelly Max, because I think modern phones are too big.
A barebones OS is great for me, I don't remember the last app I even installed on my phone. It's literally just a telephone and emergency web browser when I need one.

be careful with nothings my nothing phone 1 battery conveniently expanded just after warranty expired, when i googled about it someone on reddit had the exact same issue same week as me kek, the back glass got pushed out in the center. battery isn't too bad to replace though

btw i only noticed because my phone started bootloping so i took it out of the case kek >>103038306

>>103038297
I had high hopes for the jelly max as I do prefer smaller phones for myself. what I like about it is that it's around the same as an OG iPhone in dimensions. what I didn't like is that i feel it would be too heavy for its size and lacks a headphone jack. I forgot to bring this up but aside from unihertz phones generally being unusually thick (though I think it makes sense on their jelly phones) they're pretty heavy too.

I don't mind buying a phone without SD card slot but I have over 500+ gb of storage on my phone's SD card. Is there even a convenient way to transfer the data to a new phone's internal memory? I'd like to upgrade since it's severely outdated, but the pain of transferring the data seems daunting.

>>103038323
Yeah the jack disappointed me too, but it comes with an adapter so that's nice at least.
What counts as a "thick" phone these days? I haven't bought a new phone in maybe 10 years.

>>103038339
I'd say thick is anything close to 10mm and over. An iphone pro max is one of the thickest at around 7-8mm. Foldable are thick but that's unavoidable. unihertz stands out because they like to hide their thickness and weight with rugged designs, but weirdly enough their titan slim and Luna phone aren't rugged so that's where I figured their thickness isn't exactly intentional

>>103038368
forgot to add galaxy ultra that's like 8-9mm thick

>>103038368
My current phone is around 1cm thick, and I wouldn't mind it being thicker honestly. I've held a modern phone once or twice and it feels like I'm going to snap it in half.

I wish I could get a version without the hole punch in the screen, but I might get the Jelly Max.

>>103038240
I have some stores nearby but none of them have the Sony in store. They only carry the good ole Samsung phones and iPhones.

Man, I really like my OnePlus Open, except it'll randomly run at 15hz on specific apps with seemingly no fix

>>103038388
Then my advice would be to buy one, and if you don't like it, return it within 30 days for a full refund.

>>103038387
my current phone is an iphone se because I like phones that are small, thin and light. I want them to disappear in my pockets. that's why I had high hopes for the jelly max but i think I would stick to a jelly star personally if I wanted to indulge in unihertz' weird world. I like the light on the back

>>103038405
The phone being flat isn't a concern for me. Like I said earlier, i would prefer a thick phone, easier to grip, feels more sturdy.
>Light on the back
Sounds annoying. Does the Jelly Max have that? That might make me reconsider.

>>103038431
no the light is only on the jelly star. And the Luna phone. jelly max is a transparent back from what I can tell

>>103038454
Okay good. Sounds like I might get the Jelly Max, but if there was a version without a hole punch I'd be much happier.
Do they still make phones without front cameras? It doesn't seem like they do.

>>103038461
nope. I don't think I've ever seen a phone without a front camera in a long time. maybe there's a government version of a phone out there somewhere but no, haven't seen one

>>103038482
That's a real shame. I don't use the camera itself and the hole punch is just ugly as sin.

You can use your phone as camera.

Try apps like droidcam.

I can find one for £549.00 but it's only 128gb.

I really need an easy image resizer for android. Every time I need to realize an image on my Pixel 7 I end up downloading 5 different apps before giving up and emailing to to my desktop resizing in paint then doing whatever I need to do with the image.

What light on the back? Is it a giant torchlight like the one on my Tank 3 Pro? For some reason it's toggled separately from the torchlight the status bar toggles ( you need to hold down a button for 5 seconds to turn it on/off).

Any advice on buying used eletronics? I wanted a tablet since I've never had one before, so I went with a Tab A8 from Samsung. I found it often for half the price of the current Tab A9 Plus, so that seemed like a good deal, keeping in mind that I could dislike the experience and not want to use it further, so I decided to go with this one here.

Well, at first the seller answered my questions about it, and it seemed alright, but after I bought it he didn't reply, and after a few days he hand't even sent the order, so I cancelled it after 5 days.

At least I got my money back a few hours later, so I suppose using a safe website is key, but are there any other tips? I've bought another one since then and this seller replies more at least.

I bought it today, so I don't find it odd that it's not sent yet, but after what happened I'm a bit more anxious. I mean, I have the case, the screen protector, the keyboard and mouse, a capacitive stylus, all bought new, but for cheap, all I don't have is the main one, a Tab A8. How to make sure I get my used product, and in good condition?

I think I'd appreciate the app stability and battery life but I don't know if I can adapt to 60hz. I've been trying 60hz on my current android and it's been painfully obvious.

it’s kinda insane how none of the big tech channels mentioned anything shady about this phone when it's practically a meme in china. sure, it's hard in china because the reviewers who critique this phone face censorship on the internet due to Huawei’s close ties with the government, but there is no excuse globally. from the 7nm chips in this model that fall several generations behind typical flagship phones in the U.S. in terms of performance and efficiency to the numerous reports of the device's seam breaking within a month, with Huawei refusing warranty coverage any repairs or replacements. the cherry on top is that it will automatically delete photos you taken if it recognized anything "political sensitive".

>b-but my phone needs to do raytracing
techfags cant seem to accept that phones are fundamentally restricted by their form factor and their practical functionality is also restricted as a result. Nobody is seriously going to sit down and play a full AAA game or watch a full movie on their 6 inch smartphone screen when they have a tv/pc at home. If travelling? With a controller? Sure, but its a compromise and one that nukes battery. Weaker chipsets also tend to have far superior battery life because theyre not as power hungry. Its crazy that phones are actually going backwards in terms of battery life due to this.

A dedicated device will always beat a phone for any of these tasks because a phone is a jack of all trades master of none. This may get slightly better with the advent of folding phones but a steamdeck is always going to be a better experience than a phone. The power of the CPU is basically wasted because phones are only really used to take the occasional picture, listen to music, browse social media and answer calls for most people.

>>103048042
Maybe it varies from niggercattle to niggercattle. It wasn't a big deal to me as I'm not sensitive to its difference from 120Hz. Like how 45fps and 60fps look almost the same to me if there was no FPS counter running.

>>103048614
Its not for me. Its for my mum for christmas. I personally dont give a fuck about camera specs on a phone. She has a dogsitting business and wants to take nice photos/videos of the dogs for customers and is stuck with some shitty motorola from 6 years ago and videos/photos look like dogshit on it. I can get an iphone 14 on ebay for around 280. Can anons think up a better/equal android alternative for the same price? It seems for camera/video iphone is the way to go despite apples faggot ecosystem.

me. i'm on s20u whose deteriorating condition i've extensively documented on /spg/. it can't do 1440p120, only either 1080p120 or 1440p60.
i used to prefer 1080p120 but when my screen breaks and i replaced it with a chink screen replacement that can't do 120Hz, so i successfully adjusted to 60Hz in 1440p60 after a very short while after convincing mtself that there is nothing i can do about not having 120Hz anymore. it turns out, however, that it's not as bad as i thought. it's not as horrific as the 60Hz30Hz move and i appreciate more screen real estate from higher pixel density, case in point >>103037676. i can go as arbitrarily small for character size as i want to fit more things in which is what i've wanted for as long as i can remember.

what's the fucking point of 48mp+ cameras

>pixel binning

every single phone camera above 12mp barring the galaxy s20 telephoto uses a 12mp color filter array that effectively bottlenecks the sensor to that resolution. this is what "quad-bayer", "tetrapixel" etc mean. they try to fake having a full res color array by virtually moving the subpixels around, but that only allows recovery of edge detail and not textural detail. most full-res modes are either burst mode upscaling or just a straight upscale from 12mp. in 1x 12mp mode the additional subpixels are ignored

>sensor cropping

looks a little better than a straight digital zoom but not "lossless" due to above. only phones without OIS bother because burst mode upscaling usually outperforms it

>noise reduction

one large subpixel captures the same amount of light as four small subpixels over the same area

>HDR

this should be the selling point. in practice nearly all phones do hdr temporally. apple and google for instance alternate between two exposures each frame to do hdr video

>shooting in full res and then downscaling to get around a phone's shitty oversharpening filter

you shouldn't need to fucking do this

thanks, but nah. I don't have anything against iphones (used to but live and let live), but android's kinda become part of my identity at this point. I'm like the only one at work not using an iphone so, and I know it's dumb as hell, but it makes me feel unique in a sea of apple users so gotta stick with that

I have a sony xperia 5 mii. Have had it since 2020.
It doesn't always just werk when you want it/need it to. Most annoying things are
>camera
SD card reader failing requiring the camera app to be restarted just to take a single photo.
>Overheating
It becomes useless while it does. (I'm in Texas)
>Audio
Sometimes the audio only plays from the earport instead of also speaker on the bottom requiring a phone restart to fix the issue.
>Microphone
Sometimes this mic stops working and whomever is on the otherside of the call can't hear you at all. You'll just be muted. Fixed by restart.
>Battery Life
Greatly diminished over time and since it's not a common phone, you can't take it to any shop and get it replaced then and there like you could with a samsung/iPhone.

I do love how it feels in the hand because of the 21:9 aspect ratio, but I honestly never see the benefit of that aspect ratio. Most of all media doesn't output in 21:9.
That being said, I don't like how tall the phone is. It's long and feels weird in the pocket/anywhere you put it. The screen length also makes it hard to use onehanded, but that's probably applicable to wider phones as well.
>Would I recommend?
If you're willing to put up with quirkiness like mentioned above, sure. I was sold on no notch/punchhole, SD cardslot, 35mm (even though my model is the one without it lel), zero bloatware.
So, yeah... Goodluck!
