does V actually run 1644 x 3840 pixels natively or did they forget to tack on this clause?
also, in what scenario do the 1096 x 2560 natives run in 1644 x 3840?

Losing access to pre-release, early access, review samples etc would definitely hurt their 'relevancy'. It's clear that anything Apple releases gets major views, so why would they risk losing that? Let's not kid ourselves, it's all about making content for the algorithm and generating revenue, none of them give a damn about integrity. They need the exposure far more than a 3 trillion dollar company does.

Yes, and ironically, that’s exactly what happened to Jon Rettinger (one of the OG tech youtubers). He received a defective unit, reached out to Apple’s tech support, and, after being ignored, posted a negative review only to later be blacklisted by Apple PR without any communication. Apple isn’t interested in genuine product testing or constructive feedback, they only care about reviewers who boost their marketing and reinforce a positive brand perception.

Looking at getting a new phone what do you guys think? Prices are after trade-in of my phone and the early black friday deals Samsung and Google are running right now.

>S24 FE 128gb for $360/ S24 FE 256 for $410
>Pixel 9 128gb for $480/ Pixel 9 256 for $570
What's the strat here? I'm thinking $410 for the S24 FE might be the deal to go for

>>103133781
The FE looks like a good deal but which phone do you have right now?

>>103127873
Yeah, I've decided to get myself a Pixel device and go for GrapheneOS instead. Reviving my old Samsung S8 was neat, but it won't be very useful. Maybe I'll turn it into a server or something.

Now to figure out which Pixel phone to get...

>>103133904
Right now I have a S21 fan edition. Some other anon was asking around for phones in the last thread with this same phone and I took a look at the S24 FE somoene reccd him and saw that deal. Seems pretty decent to me

>>103133781
The SoC or "processor" is better on the Samsung. If you like to tinker and run custom ROMs the Pixel is a better bet, and Google's stock OS has a lot of useful features too. I don't like Samsung OneUI (Android 15 delayed indefinitely) so I'd probably go Pixel but that's just me.

>>103133993
You're not playing games and shit on a Pixel, no matter the specs. Get the cheapest Pixel 7th gen. There's still at least 2 years left of GrapheneOS support on those.

>>103134066
I play games on my phone so maybe this anon >>103134073 saying its ass for gaming might mean the samsung would be better in this case for me

>>103133998
in that case yeah, if you liked your 21FE the 24FE will be better in every way

>>103134073
One more OS upgrade (possibly two if rumours of two quick Android version updates next year are true) and then two years of security patches. Graphene will support it as long as Google does security patches, but you obviously won't get OS upgrades which might include features you want.

Worth noting that the Pixel 7 is THE device to run /e/OS on, but they are on Android 13. It's not a big deal to be behind on the version if you have security patches.

Also I have a Pixel 7 that I'm thinking of selling. How many loonies should I list it for? Canadian dollars. It's in good condition but has microscratches and one larger scratch on the bottom right but you don't see them when the screen is on. Lemongrass colour, 128GB storage.

After 5 years of a Xiaomi 9C, I'm upgrading to a Google Pixel 8 Pro. Wish me luck, bros.

what's the longest duration any anon kept using his phone for?
i remember faintly some guy used his for 9y before asking /spg/ for a new one.

>>103134073
>>103134152
Ended up buying the Pixel 8 since there was a campaign. 8 Pro also had a campaign, but I'm not paying $100 more for the tiny upgrade. If I went for a 7 it'd cost about the same, kek.

Are there any great disadvantages to the Samsung Galaxy A05? I'm stuck between that and a refurbished S20FE.

thinking of buying a 2nd hand (brand new essentially) Pixel 8a. Anything I should know about the phone?
Will likely run Graphene on it and custom roms after Graphene support ends, if it makes to that point

The other anons are right, avoid bargain bin blowers, especially Samsung. Old flagships are a better bet, but may lose support like OS updates and security patches after a certain vintage. You can debate whether it is important but it is a priority for me.

>>103137204
What are you doing when it heats up? Sounds like you didn't learn your lesson from getting burned. The larger model SHOULD have better thermals due to having more area to spread the heat.

If you can, wait a few months for S25 with the 8 Elite. It should be much more efficient and powerful due to using the same new fab process as Apple did for the latest iPhones.

>>103127966
Anyone? My mind is still screaming to consoom. There is not much wrong with my current Fold (except for the shitty inner screen... and the pull-down tiles being too fucking big for the outer screen... and it not folding to a perfect 180° contributing even more to the lack of any sort of anti-glare... and around 2-3 more things I can't pull out of my tongue for now)
Crunching the numbers again, I could get it for ~$550 accounting for taxes an shit.

>>103137317
But the A53 isn't bargain bin, right?

>>103137346
I was also looking into a fold phone, but my only gripe with the original pixel fold is that idk if it can upgrade to android 15. considering it only has the Tensor G2 I dont do much either than text, make calls, play one gacha game, tft, and tiktok memes

>>103137358
It's not bottom of the barrel but is decidedly midrange. Might be good enough for you, personally if I'm going Android I want a Pixel so I can fuck around with the software, install GrapheneOS etc. But I got an iPhone so I don't have to worry about it. I can barely customize my Home Screen.

If the A55 had a telephoto or ultrawide cam instead of that fucking useless macro cam, it would've been the best.

>Your battery is degraded. You will never be able to get peak performance without reboots. Enjoy your scrolling.
I know.
>without reboots
wait what do you mean

>>103137611
After a certain amount of degradation, the battery is unable to deliver the electricity to power the SoC or processor at its highest processing speed. This results in the phone seemingly rebooting, it's actually more of a shutdown and reboot as the battery fails to deliver the necessary power.

No its not, its not even in direct competition since its their 'budget' variant. No IP68, no telephoto, no wireless charging, USB 2.0, UFS3.1, macro camera. Those are midrange traits.

Not really comparable but since you value FOSS and aren't picky with performance considering youre using a 2016 phone, a Pixel would probably be your best bet. Just tell him to get you an 8a, if you're a burger you can find it for around $400 which is overpriced given the specs but your boyfriend will appreciate the better camera and it'll have long support.

Not them, but sadly most affordable phones you can get in the US seem to be T-Mobile only.

Commenting on the state of the industry, I think phone manufacturers need to cut the shit. Put out at most 2 models per year. Don't tier them. Focus on making them the best products possible. One mid-range that is flagship quality, and then one prestige class with as much swanky shit as can be feasibly fit in a phone given the tech. Maybe 2 extra slots for adventurism and variant preference models like stylus phones. You don't need 20 different phones released every year at 10 different tiers. That's bad for business. Because people have to break out a flow chart to navigate your bullshit.

You didn't answer the question, in Russia it's even worse. The ruble has depreciated by about 3.5 times in 10 years, not the 3% beause of which you're running and screaming in horror.
Well, for example, the dollar exchange rate has fallen since summer from 80 to 95 rubles, all electronic has become 10-20% more expensive.

For the price you get a decent set of features but it's decidedly midrange. I don't see the appeal of Samsung hardware if you don't get flagship specs. Too locked down with KNOX and not being able to unlock the bootloader easily or maybe at all.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A55 work on US carriers, or would I run into issues? What other phones stand at about that level?

I want a phone that has the best resale value. Is iPhone the only choice?

>>103142680
No, the high end Samsungs do alright.
But I dont think you are looking to defer the cost of a phone you are using. I think you are looking to get into the business of selling phones. IF that is the case, you are asking such a basic question I dont think you will make money on selling phones. I think you will lose money.
Dont get into the phone selling business.

Maybe buy a phone you can afford and not need to sell or buy a good phone instead of something you just gonna resell within a few years. Buy a phone that you can keep for long.

Bear in mind that the camera on the 1VI is, in my opinion, shit. Compared to iPhone and Samsung. And the build quality doesn't feel as nice as those either.

>>103142528
Or, here's a better question. What's the best phone you can currently get for ~$350 that will work in the US? What phones are the best bang for the buck?

>>103142728
>I can sell fast and not loose much money.
Yeah, you are looking to get into the phone sales business. And thats not for you. Theres a LOT about business you have to learn and I dont think you've got much of a chance right now. If you really wanna do it, wanna make that your career, go ahead. But asking incredibly basic questions on 4chan will NOT lead you to success in business. IF any of these guys actually know what they are doing, they sure as shit won't give you free advice.

>>103142778
Sony doesn't do AI processing to the degree that Apple and Samsung and Google do. They use a similar if not same sensors as the other guys, but they give you more or less what the sensor sees without much processing. If you like to manually retouch your photos this may be useful, but hurts for simple point and shoot.

You may be able to get a Gcam build for your device which might be better in terms of processing.

What even comes close to the level of polish and ease of use of Samsung's OneUI?

it seems pretty underrated since hardly anyone mentions it but oppo's "color os" is up there.

Bought a s24 ultra and the software is dogshit
I'm coming from an xperia 5 II but the nfc sensor died, and now I need a new phone. The Xperia 1 vi is too fucking expensive, and the v wont get any updates lol.

>>103143513
Pixel OS is better, so is iOS. Chaebols aren't good at software. They just throw every stupid feature they can think of in, with even more behind the stupidly named Good Lock application. Some of these features are indeed useful, but the lack of direction leads to way too many toggles. The worst part is they don't even bother to include useful features that Apple and Google have, like adaptive charging. You can fuck around with routines to achieve something similar, but you shouldn't have to. Just keep the damn phone at 80% and time it to be full when the alarm is going off if charging overnight. It isn't a hard concept.

>>103144225

the Xperia 5 VI apparently won't be released before April 2025

>>103144301
but the updates bro
I love the phone but it will be end of life next year.
I'm not buying a phone for one year or even two years

>>103144271
I don't get the 80% thing. Batteries will always degrade over time, that's just how they work. So why deprive yourself of 20% and live with a handicap for years only for some distant future later when the phone will still naturally wear out anyway (or be ready for an upgrade). Seems very silly to sacrifice daily convenience for some ‘potential’ gain I will barely benefit from than if I had used it daily, or am I misunderstanding something.

So is the question of Chinesebrand VS Samsung VS Google a question of Chinese spyware VS Korean spyware VS Indian spyware?

What about anons always complaining about too much processing on Samsung?

>>103144788
It's just overnight. It's not good for the battery to sit at 100% for hours, so Adaptive Charging or whatever you want to call it keeps the battery at around 80% and only pushes it to 100% so it reaches that shortly before your alarm goes off. Best of both worlds.

I agree hard capping the battery to 80% semi permanently is silly, you end up with less usable battery. This isn't the case with Adaptive Charging it still lets you use 100% of your battery.

>>103140943
You said build quality but it sounds lke you're looking for a new toy to consoom is your problem. Get a flip or foldable.

>>103145299
oh I see. I did not know about that and it does seem pretty useful for now. Although if I had to guess, with how fast some phones charge these days, I don't even think charging overnight will be a thing in the near future anymore. If I had to guess, after waking up, people plug it in for a bit or charge it on their ride, and it’ll be fully charged for the day.

>>103145597
Yeah if you have a OnePlus or Oppo phone with 120W charging or whatever they have, you can probably get away with just charging when needed. I just have a 20W charger and like not having to worry about charge over the course of the day.

what is currently the best chink phone that supports good custom xda roms?

>>103148662
Adaptive charging is useful to prevent battery degradation. It's not good to sit at 100% all night. I don't see how it's ironic to say Samsung doesn't have this feature when they don't, at least they didn't two months ago.

>oh but I can limit my battery to 80% all the time
Not the same thing. Enjoy your Good Lock.

>>103148725
The irony isn't found in Samsung not getting adaptive charging, it's that useful features are pretty much absent in Apple over Android devices. Even a simple fucking calculator isn't there.
Apple prioritizes gimmicks and shit over actual useful and functional features that makes a phone a portable computer.

I prefer a well maintained feature set over throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the OS, that is bloat.

I do not find any features found in OneUI (7 release delayed indefinitely) that I miss in either Pixel OS or iOS. But I do find the bloat of Samsung (duplicate apps... why?) distasteful.

It makes the phone usable if you have gloves on. It can also translate things by hovering over text. You can whip out the pen when your phone screen is off and write something down quickly. It acts as a mouse cursor when using it on web browsers, complete with hover support and right-clicking. There's gesture support for more actions across apps. Overall it's mostly a bunch of niche use cases but it does come in handy at times.

>>103156049

>>103156049
Slow storage vs fast storage. You can't install games and apps on SD cards because they are so slow, but for media like movies and music they are usually fine if you get a decent card.

>>103156072

I used keep a Kiwix ZIM file of wikipedia on a cheap micro SD card, on my Motorola G. Upgraded to a Motorola Edge with internal-only memory, never managed to get the .ZIM file recognized by Kiwix on the internal memory.

>>103156237
back when I was running a Xiamoi Redmi Note 3 Pro I had an sd card in it

always buy as much internal storage as you can if you plan on keeping the phone long term IMO

But by all means get the iPhone SE (2022) as with a battery replacement should last you until 2029 if Apple continues to update at their current pace. You won't get all the new features, but you'll be up to date.

Phone finder is good. Other links may need to be removed due to age, like recommended chinkphones.

Hopefully you actually feel and appreciate the upgrade. Things change a little tiny bit every year but it adds up.

Compromises? Where we're going we don't need compromises.

is the pixel 8 pro better than the 9 regular? I know the major difference is the battery but not sure how much of a difference the Tensor 3 is from the 4

Just buy a Motorola G54 because it's an objectively perfect smartphone!

It's basically the same garbage from Google in terms of Tensor G3 -> G4. The main difference is the size, "Pro" used to mean 6.7" display and telephoto lens (super useful) until the 9. So it will be larger and better for taking pictures from far away. The 8 Pro is basically the "Pro Max" or "Ultra" of its generation, or "Pro XL" in Googlespeak.

If you care about photography a fair bit and want a device that isn't fuckhueg, the 9 Pro is a good choice if you're set on Pixel, it's more expensive obviously.

so I should go with the 8 pro? or does the better battery life make little to no difference since its an older chip?

>>103158540
It's physically larger with a larger battery, so the 8 Pro has an advantage, but with a bigger pixel count screen and older chip... battery life is said to be better on the 9 on GSMarena.

They're just very different phones, one is 6.3" vs 6.7", the 8 Pro has a telephoto lens, the 9 has a brighter screen but no LTPO (so swaps between 60 and 120 not from 1-120 dynamically, unlike the 8 Pro with its dimmer screen).

Here are all the differences between the two: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=13219&idPhone2=12545
