Thoughts on RAM Boost? I have it disabled because 8GB on a phone oughta be enough for anybody.
How do I use .cube luts with AGC9.2.14_V13.0?
Is a magsafe case for an Android phone a good idea, or is it an improperly copied-over meme where something works fundamentally different compared to Apple's implementation, and there's an actual risk of damaging devices?
>>103249320Doesn't work
>>10324926212gb vs 16gb ram? is 12gb enough?
>>103249262I have a Galaxy J7 Neo that has poor audio, making calls and notifications unnoticeable on public or far from the device. What could it be?I'm also searching for the best kit for repairing smartphone and laptops.
>>103249345More is always better, but it depends on what you're giving up for the extra RAM and if you're a big user of passive features that will constantly eat up memory.
Should I wait for the Samsung S25 or just straight up get the Asus Zenfone 10? I want a small phone.
>>103249341Thank you.
>>103249376This, will you be multitasking with your phone? Then go for 16gb.
>>10324934516gb is for chinks playing genshit impact and jeets playing pubg mobile
>>103249354Turn up you're volume
>>103249396I can assure you that the S25 won't be smaller than the Zenfone 10
>>103249406Even 12gb is plenty for multitasking
I miss LGThey were ahead of their time
>>103249445It will be more powerful nonetheless. I never had an ASUS phone, is the GUI good? I like a lot of personalization.
>>103249408you are seething
>>103249503Xiaomi and Samsung phones are more customizable. But it still features the typical shit like custom themes, lock screen layouts, gestures, smart grouping, twin apps, shit like that you know.
>>103249462yeah, those bootloops were fun
what smartphones are approved in the hood?
>>103249692iphone
>>103249692agree with >>103249734.iphones are made for retarded apes. it's fitting that retarded apes use them.
>checking out the gsmarena leaderboard for premiums>Iphone 15 for 700 buckaridoos >Xiaomi 14t for 500>somehow shares the same category as the Realme 12pro+ (350 bucks)Ok what am I missing here, there's no way these three offer roughly the same shit and are in the same market rangeAlso which brand should I be looking at if I absolutely don't care about camera quality and all that jazz ? I'd rather make sure my money goes towards purchasing features I actually care about
>>103249797>I'd rather make sure my money goes towards purchasing features I actually care about>Doesn't list the featuresAre you perhaps retarded?
>>103249830Yes, but in this specific case I was just asking for brands that are well-known for not caring about camera-qualityIt'd be even more retarded for me to list out all the shit I care about in expecting some local anon to take pity on me and direct my purchases
>>103249865ASUS doesn't really give a shit about camera quality considering it's a gaming phone
bought this, just to watch youtube in bed. too scared I'll break my iPhone if I fall asleep...also, wtf are these specs. this seems too good to be true for that price
>>103249692iphone 7
>too scared I'll break my iPhone if I fall asleepkek, fucking iTards lmao, i can't even.
>>103250009yeah, not wanting to break a 1k eur phone is retarded?
>>10324934532
>>103250047no but buying a 1k eur phone is
>>103250176Anon, just admit you're poor
>>103250176>no but buying a 1k eur phone isI just buy it every 4 years... currently on version 13, will buy iphone 17/18 next.I need it for the ecosystem, since I use macbooks
>Samsung offers a small-form USB drive>doesn't offer a small-form USB-C driveI don't understand these companies.
>>103250248anon, just admit you're extremely retarded to carry around a $1k+ liability in your hand wherever you go
>Samsung offers SDUC, possibly the first to manufacture one>doesn't offer flagships with sd support>even midrangers with sd support still maxes at SDXCme neither.
>>103249923>6.88"do you at least have a gooseneck stand? I tried lying on my side watching on a phone that big and it was just too close to my face that I had to outstretched my arm uncomfortably
>>103250009>t. moto g play (cuck phone) user
>>103250336Why would Samsung invest in something that only a fraction of their user base would make use of? The possibility of 1TB storage is standard in modern flagships and the majority of people don't need more than that.
>>103250334Majority of people here use iPhones. You aren't a target if you own one. I assume you're from India?
>>103250436irvine, california
>>103250463Not too far off then
Are any of the flagship phones like the S24 safe from the dumb condensation/camera fog issue?
>>103249692screen cracked iPhone 8 Plus
>>103250396Maybe son I don't have to pay an extra $400 for 1tb on each new phone
>>103250537No phone is
>>103250248No I'm the guy with the IP15M and 1VIIt's just dumb
>>103250047buying some thirdie phone with a 720p teardrop display to watch videos on is retarded
>>103250651It's more like listening to podcasts. I watch videos on my laptop in bed. then i swithc to mobile and listen to audiobooks, podcasts..the other option would be using a bluetooth speaker and put the podcast on it. But I still don't want to use the iphone even for that.
any glaring issues with the iphone 15 pro max?
>>103249797>that webm/an/fags explain
>>103250699What's the point of buying the iPhone if you're not using it
>>103250009? all applechads have applecare+ cause theyre not poorfags
Is it stupid to get a S22 today?
round camera parts look like absolute dogshit
what was the last phone with the best one-lens camera?pic unrelated.
Why are phones so shit nowadays? There's nothing exciting to look forward to.The only reason to get a new phone is due to lack of security updates on your old phone.
>>103251527an OS to replace the dogshit that is Android and the GMS (it's litearlly called the gms kek) would be something exciting to look forward to
>>103251499Pixel 2 maybe
Get this: an iPhone Pro Max but with a iPhone 11 LCD screen and made of aluminum. $300 less.
>>103251527Never understood the security update thing since I always break them before they become old.
>amazon black friday started>phone i wanted isn't on saleShould i just look for an alternative to the moto g84? Something higher in price now that there's the sale?
I am finally forced to retire my ancient Moto E4 and upgrade to something new. Any recommendations for a small, cheap phone that will spy on me the least and has the least bloatware? Does such a thing exist anymore?
>>103251649>$300 lessIt wouldn't be
>>103252186iphone se
>>103249262Is an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor better than optical?
>>103252186Just buy a Motorola G54 because it's an objectively perfect smartphone.>b-b-but I want a small smartphone!It's not the year 2010 anymore. Modern smartphones are big because they need big batteries so they can have a longer battery life.
>>103252488I want something that will fit in my pocket without being a nuisance, I barely use it as is.
>>1032493456GB is enough.
>>103252488>objectively perfect>hole lazily sawed into the screen
Still mulling on whether it's worth it to get a Magsafe case for an Android phone. I've heard the embedded magnets can heat up, and that worries me regarding the stability of the case. Similarly, I'm curious if the magnet stuff is legit or just passing-in-the-night gimmick. I don't want my phone case degaussing anything.
>>103252488g54 or g84?
>>103252745Well, let's see. The former has an objectively perfect IPS display, whereas the latter has an objectively shitty OLED display that will get burn-in issues very easily and very quickly.
Why have the prices stalled so much? I got a Realme 6 Pro for 230€ in September 2020 and now phones with the SAME specs cost the same. I don't even want to change but the main camera broke and the battery now only lasts half a day, this fucking sucks.
>>103252488I'm just looking into it, looks really good, why it isn't the top choice for the mid range by GSMArena and other review sites?
>>103252981I don't know why the legendary Motorola G54 is an underrated gem.
>>103253011>>103252865fucked up that in my country it costs almost the same as the edge
Last phone I had was a Huawai mate 20 pro.Any recommendations when I go to shops to look at em outside?
Should I go for the Pixel 8 or the Xiaomi 14T? They're the same price in my country.
Why would you buy anything other than samsung if you want an android smartphone>their budget phones are not goodPoorfag cope
>>103253365My budget is around $200 and Samsung's devices at this price range kinda suck. My wife has a Samsung and when we're out of the house and she wants to take pictures she often asks for my phone. Before the camera was the worst part of the Xiaomi phones I owned and that was the best part of her Samsung but I bought Honor this time and it's better. You can say poorfag this poorfag that but honestly I use my laptop way more than my phone. I just need a device I can use to browse the internet with Firefox and use apps to get food delivery and cars to pick me up when I'm away.
>>103249320> Thoughts on RAM Boost?Useless shit. Sometimes it even slow down phone.Just get 12-16 gb real RAM.
>>103253365Has samsung improved since the s3? That was the worst shit i ever owned
>>103251527The thing to look forward to is great phones for cheaper now that flagships are overkill.Phone specs could be full laptops with a computer OS. Diminishing returns saves money.No one needs 4k OLED 480hz. So go cheaper and it's still awesome.
>>103251527Go midrange and cure your consooming disorder.
>>103249320>RAM BoostWasn't virtual memory invented like 50 years ago?
>>103249262smartphones suck as a phone
>>103254260Sure, buddy. But here's one more reason to not own a desktop lmao.
>>103254260I have no issue with using mine as a phone. Sure it's no corded landline phone and it is nowhere near as good as my favorite payphones were when I was growing up. I'm kinda autistic about phones. But Voice over WiFi on my phone works great and so does calling in whatsapp and facebook messenger. Even though I live in a different country I can call my mom for free. It's great as a phone.
>>103252186>Any recommendations for a small, cheap phoneFor $300 you could get a Sharp Sense8 that came with microSD slot and audio jack. That's it if 150mm long is small enough for you and if it's available in your country/region.

Tasker vs MacroDroid, which one is better for simple tasks I want to automate my phone (e.g when leaving home, disable wi-fi, when leaving home connect to car, etc) I also have buzzkill for notifications but they don't seem to be as complex as an automation app.
>>103255523Modes and Routines, if Samsung.
>>103255535oh fuck, I completely forgot about them. how good is the app?
recommend me a 30w charger, any specific brand?

>>103252488>>103252981There's also G54 Power with more ram, faster charging and bigger battery.>>103253011India/Europe exclusivity killed it for me. Especially the G54 Power variant. Fuck them.

Guys, I need a new work phone. Preferably 6 inches or so. I'm only going to use it for calls, messages and the occasional photo. I don't want to spend anymore than I need to, but I also don't want some junk that's going to die in two seconds. Any ideas? It seems all the chinkshit is 6'5-6'8.
>>103256138pixel 6a. main downside is the iffy fingerprint scanner
>Honor 200pro (strong doubts)>Pixel 8>One+ 12R>Xiaomi 14TDespite the varying starting price points, because of deals these all end up costing the same and are roughly equal from my understanding (still don't get this meme)I don't care about camera quality (so the 14T should be excluded from what I've read) and I won't be playing anything more extreme than your average 3D gachaslop (so no COD or whatever), but I want something that runs smooth as silk >>103251186He's aggressively playing dead, can't you see just how fucking dead he is ?
Since the Black Friday deals are in, would you guys recommend the S24+ or the Ultra? I'm at a bit of a standstill here.
>>103256181>>Honor 200pro (strong doubts)Kinda shocking that this phone has a plastic frame given its price point.
Is there a way to get adfree twitter on ios like i did on android for free. I didnt know ads were so annoying. And lowkey safari has better adblocking than any android adblock app but it doesn’t apply to twitter
>>103255555Pretty good. It's built-in to the firmware.
>>103256267S24U. Otherwise get S23.
>>103255442Thinking multiple people are the same person would make you the schizo

>>103256344uBlock0 > troon shit
>>103256344>using anything else
>>103254552It doesn't seem available in the US. I don't need a really small phone, something the size of what I have is fine, but everything seems huge anymore, except iphones which I have no desire for.

Xperia 10 VI or Nothing 2a?
I'm stupid and haven't replaced my phone since 2017Is there a way to transfer text messages and such between phones? Every time I've tried to look into this it seems weirdly complicated, if not impossible, and I don't get why (if it's stored in the internal memory can't I just copy that, and if it's stored in the SIM card can't I just reuse that?)>>103252488there's zero reason for any phone to be over 5.75in long. The fact that stuff over 6.5 is normal now is inane bullshit to chase aspect ratios zero media is actually made in (and at obscene resolutions that have no benefit on a small-ass phone screen), and it's only necessary for battery size because phone manufacturers insist on making shit uncomfortable thin, also at the cost of useful features like audio jacks and sd card slots and the battery being removable. I am constantly baffled by every major design trend in phones made over the past 7+ yeas, it's like they're going out of their way to make the worst decisions possible
