What's a cheap and compact phone in 2024?The only reason I'm thinking about replacing my Pixel 4a is that it's a bit battered and the battery doesn't last half a day.Do I buy another new Pixel 4a for €190?A refurbished one from Ali from €150?Do I buy a new battery for €15 and live with the few scratches on the screen?A used/refurbished Galaxy S22 for €270?I honestly don't care about anything as long as the phone works and isn't sluggish while browsing the web and performing similarly intensive tasks, and I don't really care about UI as I'll install AOSP or the closest thing I can find on it as soon as I get it.
>>103312681Maybe S23. The base S22 has poor battery. S22U should be fine, but it's obviously bigger, and more expensive.
>>103312363Only autistic children care about that. Anyway, what's logical way of calling snapdragon?
I don't want to spend more than $400 on a phone.I bought a Xperia 5 IV for $650 but I don't use it because it feels too nice to use.What phone can I have?
>>103313335If you have two phones, you will almost never use one of them. Jyst get a case and a glass screen protector.
>>103312681I'd say 15€ for a new battery even if it's for only one more year of life is still cheaper than any of those prices you listed.
Anyone bought the Galaxy S24 - opinions?
BEST MIDRANGE PHONE
My friend ran his Oppo find X5 pro (cph2305) with a truck; screen completely gone. Is there a point trying to see if the insides are still good and fixing it up? How would I go about seeing if anything else is fucked? Replacement screen is a bit over £100, seems worth it for a £1000 phone
I've been using rooted and degoogled androids for past decade, but now I feel like changing to iPhone and embracing the botnet.Should I do it and what am I in for?
>Google if you want GrapheneOS>Samsung if you want the most normie friendly android for insta thots>Sony if you want headphone jack, SD card>Xiaomi for 2 chinese credits deposited into your account>Motorola if you're looking for price/utility efficiency>Fairphone if you're not a niggerWhat else should I add
>>103313928>Muricans hands write this shit
Can someone post the guide to buy by price range?The Xiaomi and other brands?
Guys how do I stop buying fucking phones? In the past few years I've spent 1000s on different phones. iPhones, Samsungs, Chickshit... I just can't settle on a phone as there's always something I dislike about them. How do you just pick a phone and stick with it?
>>103314161If I were you I'd buy bunch of Gamesirs and turn them all into mini handhelds
thoughts after owning a magic6pro for ~3 weeks>magicos is mediocre to outright bad, noticeable visual glitches>image processing/camera software is shit>curved display is a gimmick>screen is full of scratches despite not keeping sharp things around it/dropping it>battery lasts at least 1.5 day>face ID and front camera are really good>best speakers I ever heard on a phone>display quality truly is "ultra"-level>doesn't support PD/no fast charging above ~15W on anything other than honor chargerspicrel, photo quality is only truly good when shooting in RAW, but you can only use the wide camera, unlike my old Xperia 5 II.

>>103313826It's nice that things just work and you can compartmentalize what Google gets about you. Apple is a PRISM partner too, but seem serious about privacy with E2E iCloud and stuff, refusing to push unlock exploits to terrorist phones, etc. I don't fully trust them obviously. Coming from GrapheneOS and /e/OS on a Pixel it's nice that things just work. Paying with your phone is underrated, something you can't do on custom Android ROMs. I still use Gmail and Google Photos but at least Google now only knows my location when I use Google Maps.
>>103314280also: no support for 8k or 4k120 recording which is absolutely unacceptable for an ultra-tier phone in 2024
>>103314280>buy Huawei sub brand >complain about the chinky softwareWhat were you expecting?
>>103314515I combined some discounts and got it for 260eur; was looking for the first big discount since I got out of prison and needed to replace my 2019 low-end (also huawei) shit phone
>>103314552That's a pretty good price for the hardware. You now have to deal with the shitty software unfortunately. I'm allergic to bad Android skins so I don't consider blowers with them. Rules out a LOT.
>>103314608I would've probably gone for the Xperia 1 VI if I had the money. At least the huge camera hump actually makes it easier to hold one-handed because you can hold your index finger under it.

I want to buy a used Sony xperia 1 V. I had a 1 iii in use for a year, but it broke, and service centers do not repair it due to "rarity". And I liked the xperia 1 iii a lot because of the form factor, bare android and other things. And I want to get therefore 1 V because it's the last xperia with the old form factor. But I realize how stupid this idea is, can you help me?
what should I unistall from my xiamomi POCO? know it has a lot of bloatware
>>103312615I have a Google home with multiple family members. I have a Spotify family plan and each family member has their own account.I have a nest mini speaker attached to the home. Voice recognition is setup for all family members.Sometimes the smart speaker doesn't recognize who's talking, so when they ask it to "play <some song/podcast>" it starts playing using my Spotify account.How can I prevent others from playing music/podcasts using my Spotify account and mucking up my recommendations?

>>103315288I live in a neighborhood that has its own microclimate because it's next to a lake and a river, it's foggy literally every day here in Spring and Fall. Most people living in this city (800k) don't know about this.
Why is there still no functinonal version of iOS?
>>103315523also this is 5x zoom point-and-shoot mode

>connect USB cord to car to charge my phone>popup on lock screen says GPS is now connected or something>swipe down>sure enough the GPS icon is now onWhy is it ignoring my settings?Pic related, "Charging phone only" was already selected
>>103315523looks cool
>>103315341 I meant you'd betted install a "standard android" or in other words AOSP instead of MIUI which comes by default. To do this, you'll need to unlock bootloader and find a suitable ROM to replace it with, instructions depend on your specific device.
>>103315614Fuck knows what you're talking about. Next time take a screenshot.
Why the FUCK are camera bumps so big?!Why the FUCK are they off to one side so my phone rattles on the table?!
>>103315896any actual benefits? or is miui bad?I might do that down the line in some months after looking that up
>>103316032Your banking applications etc will break
>>103316060ah I see, I do not use them on my phone currently, if I NEED to have thme on my phone late ill consider that thenI prefer to use anything hat asks for money or that on my pc at home and for google play i use prepaid cards when neededI want to get into buying stocks tho, so yeah I might have to do that

>>103316502Yeah I don't know how I'll feel about the curved edge but it's the only phone I can find that has everything else I want. At least the only phone for not nearing $1000.
Hey, motorola fags.Did you get the live lock screen update recently? Reddit is crying about how you can't uninstall the damn thing or even disable it. Just saying because I am a motofag too and after the november update I don't see such a thing on my settings.
>>103316544My g7 is so old it probably doesn't get it. I guess it's something to keep in mind for future shit though.

>>103315130Get it.
>>103316704>he fell for the pixel memeWhat exactly do the Pixels do better than anyone? Do they have any niche? It seems their premium options are outdone by every other premium option, and their low/mid range options are outdone by others just as easily. Why would anyone get one unless it was incredibly cheap/free?
What bogus defect can I come up with so that the warranty people will take back my 1 VI and give me a refund?
>>103316872>hurrdurr phone runs hot when i facebook
>>103315901that was a screenshot lol
>>103317001Screenshot with the actual notification, not the developer settings.
Bought a chinkphone and it's not sending through my notifications. My knackered old LG V20 is beating it. I've checked all the battery management shit and I can't see what's causing it. Think I might have to return it, as this is a dealbreaker.
>>103317022Btw, it's Gmail in particular that's not coming through.
>>103316939I assume phones run a log of hardware states like PCs do? Or can the bottom feeder carrier warranty guys not check that stuff?
>>103317291>i tried resetting it, and the problem is not solved
>>103316715It's because people have an obsession with smartphones being as thin as possible and it sucks, feels fragile and the bump has the few issues you've mentioned. I'd recommend a case since some fix that issue on some smartphones.
whats the poco x3 pro of 2024?
>>103317316poco x6 lol
>>103317299You mean the logs get wiped with factory reset? I guess that would make sense I was thinking maybe also to say the fingerprint scanner doesn't work properly (which is actually true, or it might just be shit) or that the earpiece buzzes faintly (happened to me with a nexus phone) but I guess better not too pile on too many problems
Anyone knows how to search for phones without the mark of the beast? Every goddamn phone seem to have one.And is there any with 3.5 mm and memory card slot that doesn't' run out of battery like nothing and doesn't overheat to death under $400? I don't know shit about phones, I have a iPhone 6 forced onto me by my mother like 7 years ago that is dying.
>>103317427Samsung Xcover series.I've been running version 4 since 2017, and I'm not updating any time soon. They're already on version 6, I think.
>>103314161sounds like you're impulsive and easily manipulated by influencers. Keep in mind the next time you watch some influencer waving around a $1500 phone that they just 'picked up' that they can write the entire expense off as part of their ''''job''''
>>103315130What is it about the Xperia that speaks to you? The usual SD card/headphone jack/bezels? I dunno you kinda got burned by Sony two generations ago, I wouldn't tempt fate again. Is there no independent repair companies that can fix it? It's not ideal but maybe they could get it back into service, unless parts are rare.
>>103317427>mark of the beastlmao, nobody cares about a bit of pixels in the notification bar being traded for the ability to videochat with others or take selfies or in the case of iPhones and Honor allow secure face unlock. You are describing a Sony phone except $400 might not be enough to afford one, maybe an old 10 series from Swappa or something I can't find much online. It still has a camera pointing at you (Begone, Satan!) it's just got a larger bezel to accommodate it. Yes it has a slow storage expansion bay and you can keep using your 3.5mm white Apple earphones you got with your iPod back in the day. The 10 V is an endurance marvel, with a large battery and lower end chipset. It will last, but it will not be fast.
>>103317427>under $400Xperia 10 is the closest thing to that price.
>>103308918>>103314881Thanks for the recc's. I think I'll be going with Samsung again, hopefully it's as good of an experience as my S9. Strangely enough I'm finding the S24 is a lot cheaper than the S23.I guess I'll try to get an S24 for the cheap on BF, thank you very much once again.
>>103317316X7 lineup will be out in December.
>he's gonna spend 400 bucks on a budget cpuOh nyo nyo nyo nyo...
>>103317388Yes, everything gets purged. The heat is the safest, as most retards complaim about 32 degrees, so they will take ypu for one of them. Since there is no solution, they'll just refund you.
>>103317427Maybe a used RedMagic 8 or RedMagic 9.
Im going to buy a pixel 9 proIm not really happy about it but everything else is worse and I can't wait any longer
>>103316495It's better if you buy the legendary Motorola G54, sweetie!
>>103318307I went to the dark side.
Are Nubia Phone any good? they seem to have great specs and close to stock android. But I'm worried about their software and security update policy
>>103318307Google's big mistake was making a normal version. If they just sold the Pro version and kept the price sane, the Pixel would be a far better deal.
>>103318307DEAD OR ALIVE YOU'RE COMING WITH ME
>>103318375I mean, speaking bluntly, the Pixel is an anemic little device that only benefits from quicker access to software releases. That first software release could be considered beta-testing. So by getting a Pixel you're beta-testing Android features for Google and the other phone manufacturers. You get to encounter the latest critical bugs first on the weakest available hardware at a grievously inflated price.

>>103300736From what I'm hearing, whether a battery is official or unofficial has no bearing on the battery life. It's just that the official battery is more likely to actually have its guaranteed capacity. On the other hand, unofficial batteries have the potential to have a larger capacity than official ones.>>103301108Because it never actually mattered.>>103306917Yes wait for the S25.>>103307676Last good Samsung midranger, but it's showing its age.>>103308250>>103317930Xperia 5 V is better imo.>>103315130Go for 3rd party repairs.>>103316852>>103318418Pixels get cameras, GrapheneOS and other custom ROMs. That's about it.

I have an Xperia 10 II. I quite like the size and the mostly clean Android, but the Type-C jack on it is degrading rapidly. I flatly refuse to buy Samsung or Apple after I've worked with their phones in enterprise settings. Would something like a Motorola Moto G model or a OnePlus Nord model offer a similar experience to my Xperia? I won't go above 300 USD.

It's so weird that Samsung still hasn't confirmed anything about the S25. Whether there will be a plus model, whether all regions will get the Snapdragon Elite, what cameras are they packing. Just a bizarre gook company.
I don't have measurements and actual physical units to test but...would it be possible for these two different models to use each others' screen protector interchangeably?
Why aren't they releasing xiamoi 15 in Europe already?? GIMME MY CHEAP SD 8 ELITE NOW!!!!
>>103321152They're not gonna confirm that shit until after BF and post-Christmas "sales" so they can squeeze out every last unit sold from impatient retards who can't wait for the actual unveiling.
>>103321152>Snapdragon EliteThose Smartphone CPUs are getting retarded, fuck do you need all that power in your pocket.
>>103321198Samtoddlers couldn't wait 2 months to buy their gAy series phones that get resold used at 40% to 50% of launch price.Samsung will be fine.
This is peak S23 battery life. It's really not getting any better than this. 86% in 8h15m SoT.All day battery saver turned on, and even airplane mode during those 46 minutes (2 anime episodes) of VLC on the train. Half 4G mobile data, half WiFi 6. Didn't play any of my Gacha games before midnight.This screenshot should be shown to new S23 buyers to see a best case scenario for battery longevity during a single day. Realistically on most days I only use about 2.5-3h of SoT and that combined with idle drain comes to around 40-50% battery drain per day, or a charge every day if I'm doing 20 to 80 like recommended.
Huawei just released HarmonyOS. I'm so glad Android is about to die.
>>103321198>>103321220I wanted to buy a S24 Plus, but fuck the Exynos chip and it's way too expensive in my region for what's its packing. Also the battery life/SOT is sad.
>>103321226Looks good. Anyone using the iPhone 14, 15 or 16 Pro/Pro Max, are you getting similar SOT with similar usage patterns?
>>103321226Just went to check mine (15PM) and noticed my max capacity is down to 98% now after 5 months of use and always charging to 80% Is it fucking over??
>>103321297It is really impressive for the battery capacity, but still other phones can hit similar numbers without using battery saver all day. Especially those new phones with the Si/C battery and 6000 mAh+ capacity, compared to this phone's small 3900 mAh Li-Ion battery.In an ideal world phones can easily reach 10h SoT + 30ish hours idle, so they can either last one very heavy day (5G, maps navigation, music streaming, Bluetooth smart watch, high brightness, all at the same time for hours) or two average days of 4-5h SoT, all on the same charge.>>103321359My S23's capacity is at 98 according to ADB commands and at "100" according to accubattery, which uses a lower design capacity than what GSMArena and such list for my phone model. Been using it since around January 20th 2024, but only installed accubattery later.
my redmi note 10S is leaving meI have about 200, maybe a bit more of budgetIs there something with 5G and Snapdragon for that price?
>>103321444For that price? Moto G84 and it's shitty SD695.For like 300-350 euro you could get a Poco F6 with a FAR better chip.
>>103321459I don't really want anything for gaming, so I don't really care about a shit chip, I just want to escape the mediatek prisonall I actually need is something with 5g and fast memory, since I use my phone a lot for mini-servers and localhosts.

Small phones without selfie cameras?
I just got a pixel 9 pro fold. it's my first folding phone. I'm coming from a pixel 7 pro xl which I hated. constantly over hearing and those fucking aggressive curved sides on the screen were terrible. I'm really enjoying this new phone. I miss having a giant screen on the front of the phone, but having a normal aspect ratio on the front is great. and the inner screen is amazing. I haven't really been doing much multitasking on it, just looking at shit on the big screen. it's a lot of fun.
>So how long will it take to do this battery change?>"No problem, you can leave the phone with us and in a couple of days it will be ready.">feel the cold sweat at the backYes, I realise now. I am addicted af.. 2 days..
>>103321926This is why my next phone won't be a smart phone. I'm too addicted to this shit.
>>103321926this is why you keep an old or cheap phone at home as a backup, like any phone other than extremely low end crap made in the past 5 years can work for basic social media and calls for a few daysif it's a flagship you could go even further back as long as the battery isn't totally busted

>>103317316Well...This year they launched X6 Pro.But the true King is the 14T, is a Poco X6 Pro with better specs, camera leica and not plastic shit.
Do they make smartphones without selfie/front cameras anymore?I never use them and would pay more for a phone without one.
Just got a brand new android a35. Is it better to set the battery setting to max charge to 80% to prolong battery life if I only plan on using it until march 2028 (3 years) when the phone loses active support?

>>103319779check the carrier bands. I heard that Chinese phones get fucked a lot on American soil, because they don't support specific bands for calling, cellular,... Which is honestly somewhat expected, each country have their own standards and such.
>>103321206Snapdragon Elite seems to have far greater battery life compared to older generations though, that's most probably why some people in here buy the stuff.
Looking for a ~£200 (or less) unlocked phone. Xiaomi used to be solid for this: although my last phone was a Poco M5 and they really upped the bloatware. Now it runs terribly slow (not many apps/storage used), switching back into an app reloads everything, even if I only have two apps open..Looking at the 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage options for the Redmi Note 13 and the Poco X6. Design/display/everything wise they seem fine, I just want something snappy.Also, historically I've gone the adb-debloating/Aurora-Store-for-apps route. Worth just rooting this time around?
>>103321985I might be gently trolling since I do have the previous model too at home. With a fucked battery too. But I will manage for 2 days.Still felt bad though.
>don't want camera>don't want fingerprint sensorCan I just cut the wires for these on any phone?

There are too many phones to choose from.

>>103323264Any phone works. I'm a peds resident and my mentor is specialized on pediatric diabetes. Any phone that has the ability to install said app works fine. Usually diabetic children are very well disciplined and know how to take care of their devices , even small children but to make sure you're going to prevent unwanted accidents, get a good anti-shock phone case that also covers the screen. Depends on the country, obviously but I'm from the EU, most of the parents here use a cheap Samsung device.
Please recommend me a cheap phone that can handle day to day apps like messaging, maps etc. I don't play video games and I don't care about camera quality. I would prefer if the software was as close to stock android as possible. I use a Moto G7 for reference
>>103324055How good is the autonomy ? Is the big camera behind not a bother ? Are you satisfied with the OS ? Not too muck bloatware ?
>>103324288battery life is excellent, the camera hump actually helps to hold the phone one-handed once you get used to itthe OS is shit unfortunately
>>103324304Damn, that's a shame for the OS.Do you still prefer it compared to a Samsung ? I'm also considering the s24 series
>>103322517Why would you just not use it? Opening up your phone is always a risk, and the fingerprint scanner is not a security risk unless you use it and are arrested and then potentially the police can use your fingerprint to unlock it. Just don't enroll any fingerprints and use a PIN all the time if you don't want it.
>>103324370I owned an S1, S3 and S4 so it's not really comparable but I used an A52s and S21 FE.I highly prefer Samsung.
>>103324414I'd rather remove it. Thanks.
>>103324810Ok, tear apart your phone and potentially damage the screen or other components. Much more autistic than just simply not using fingerprint unlock, but we are on 4chan after all.
>>103324686>prefer SamsungPlebeian taste. You even dealt with touchjizz and still prefer the taste of Samsung? Dazzling.
>>103321709what
>>103324838>"Wahh waah it's autistic!!"I know. And?
>>103323847Whats Jarritos
>>103324918It's retarded. It's literally making your phone damaged and unfit for resale over autism. You could easily just not use the fingerprint scanner if you are paranoid, even if you do use it the fingerprint model is locally stored. If the police arrest you, they can legally take your fingerprints they don't need the NSA to steal your fingerprint from an inactive reader, if such a thing is possible. Enjoy typing your PIN/password every time you pick up your phone I guess?
>>103324939Motorola
Is there anything with a really good camera for about $400? I don't really care about anything else.
>>103325713Pixel 8. 9 if you're really lucky.
>>103324972>It's retarded. It's literally making your phone damaged and unfit for resaleI'm not going to sell it. What's your point?You're starting to sound even more autistic than me, you seem really upset at how I want to play with my toys.
>>103324972Why do you think you can't remove a camera/fingerprint sensor without damaging it?If he wants to re-sell it he can put the parts back in.
Red pill me on the Thinkphone 25.
I love my s24 so much bros...
>>103326216Is the S24+ good ? Better or worse than the S24 FE ? I'd take the S24U but I don't like the angular shape
>will change the battery on my phone next weekHas anyone done this? Will it be a worthwhile change? I just need the phone to last for another year and a half.
>>103326294Is your battery fucked? If so, I highly recommend it.If you're scared, hire a man to do it
>>103326310I'll give it to a shop. I don't see any info on the settings but I can tell, it wasn't discharging that quickly last year.
>"Delivery 22 - 24 January"the fuck?
>>103324854Not him but yeah. I had a rooted S4 for years and I loved it
260 eurobucks for a xperia 10 VI? Good deal?
>>103326515>shattered screen to bitsThe fuck are they selling?
>>103326654thats their default wallpaper for some reason
>>103324854I used to use AOSP ROMs. Looking strictly at the UI it ships with, Sony was best, by far.HTC didn't have a very good UI (on the One M8) either.
>>103326932I mean that it's less bad than MagicOS, not that it's good at all.
Used my iPhone for 2 years. Battery health is now at 92%. Is it gud?
>>103327013Yup.
>>103326627Where
>>103327013my iphone 11 has 95% health right now
Do any of the cheap phones with headphone jack and IPS panel have a telephoto instead of ultrawide lens?
Anyone used the Jelly Max phone? I'm interested in a smaller device, but I've no experience with this company.Any trustworthy review channels covered it? I'm not very knowledgeable about reviewers anymore.
>>103317304People don't have an obsession with it. Companies that follow Apple do
>>103326627What are your other autistic obsessions? I would've pounced on that if it were locally available. But lol no import it at 2x the price of Poco X6 Pro with zero warranty.
>>103326627I wish these stupid fucks would make a regular 16:9 compact phone.
>>103326627Go for it
>>103312615bros i need help , i found an s24+ , can i with odin flash the rom and reinstall the stock os ? couldnt turn it off since it wanted password so i made an impromptu faraday cage. My question is if i dont want to get tracked by the misfortunate original owner install something like lineageOS or go for the stock rom ? Also can i even flash it as a locked phone?
>>103328188Give it back, Tyrone.
>>103328201was about to but my family was pushing me to keep it , i am a sinner and i promise you it will torment me , like raskolnikov i shall have my punishment but other than that can it be done ?it'd be my first time tinkering with such stuff
Which color to get?
>>103328235Olive drab to get a camo bonus on greenery.
>>103328235Btw, the seller only has one of these colors and I'm hoping you guys pick that color so I can cope with my purchase.
>>103322693X6 Pro is best value/performance. But the X7 Pro will be out soon as well, so you could wait for that.I unlocked the bootloader on my Redmi Note 10 Pro to install LineageOS, and everything works except the mcdonalds app.
>>103328235blueeeeee
>>103329864Yes!That's the answer I was looking for.
>>103312615Motorola has the best looking phones hands down but they are weird on two fronts:1. Speccing their phones in the weird way possible. A mid ranger will have UFS 3.1 storage speeds but one of their more premium phones will be specced with UFS 2.2. They also used the more bizarre out of date CPUs like 7th gen CPUs and 6th gens occasionally from Snapdragon.2. I really like what they did with HelloUI where they didn't go for a complete overhaul like Xiaomi did with HyperOS (which is pretty good IMO) or Oppo's Color/OxygenOS (which is also good) but why do they churn out phones with 2 years of updates? Why not 5? Since they aren't customizing the shit out of Android what makes it so hard?Motorola could really dominate but I think the mistake people make is that they think that people who climb up in the ranks of company are smart but in reality it's those who knew how to network best, and particularly in Asian companies (like the one that now owns Motorola) and Asian work culture seniority is rewarded. I wish an American or Japanese company would acquire it. Moto could do what Xiaomi does but destroy Xiaomi, Samsung and Google in the rest of the world (exc. China).
Well? Which one?

>>103330398>Jamie, show me chinkphones>the chinkiest you can find>perfectWhich one /spg/?
I work entirely from my phone these days. I have an iPhone 13 pro max. Are these things worth it if I'm going to be typing on my phone 8+ hours a day?
>>103328188I'm pretty sure the things that allow tracking are intrinsically connected to the device beyond the ability to simply wipe away with software. I'd say do the right thing before the cops show up and you end up known as the neighborhood phone thief.
I can't decide between Pixel 9 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro. Everyone is saying iPhones aren't worth it if you don't have any other Apple ecosystem shit.

I decided to get a refurbished Note 20 Ultra. It has most of what I'd like in a more modern phone, even if it's nearly 5 years old by now. I don't like the current trend of removing stuff from phones.
>>103332047>I don't like the current trend of removing stuff from phones.>t.bought a jackless Samsung phone
>>103331857other anon here, is it actually any good? I was looking at it but no NFC and mono speaker would be slight downgrades from my current phone

Im still using my xiaomi 9t I bought 5 years ago.What would be a good similar replacement that will last at least 3-4 years? Xiaomi 14t or 13t? Another brand? Should be around 400 euros
>>103332696get a 14t or 14t pro. xiaomi has great bf deals on their site where you can trade your current phone in. corp benefits has another 15% on top
>>103332630had the same problem with s21fe, maybe we should avoid anything fe from samsung.

>>103333133>just use a custom ROM and give up security and features>if Xiaomi will let you unlock at allMost people could get away with a cheap chinkphone but why would you skimp out on something you're going to use dozens of times a day for two maybe more years?
>>103333161if you had money you wouldn't be here
I love my s24 ultra.
Is the pixel camera really that good? Is it worth a premium over the oneplus 12?
>>103333167>go to /automobile general/>yeah you really just need an old beater to get to work so there is no point to nicer carslol lmao. There's nothing wrong with wanting a decent phone. I'm not rich but I'm not poco poor either.
>>103312615I bought a Crosscall Action X3 a few years ago, in an attempt to replace an old Samsung Galaxy S7 Active. In every respect except battery life, it was worse than the older phone.-If the phone heats up to around body temperature, it will crash and go into a boot loop.-If the phone is dropped onto a hard surface greater than six inches, and sometimes less than that, it will crash and go into a boot loop.-In the same area, it had less signal reception.-Several apps for things like banking, insurance, etc. became unable to be used due to outdated OS before the older Samsung. The OS was unable to be updated.-Default apps were worse than the samsung, and it was loaded with two dozen extras as well for things like Soccer.I spent $350 on a shittier phone. Fuck the French.

>>103326193hmmmmmmmm
Is a 128gb phone with no card slot retarded?
Should I?
>>103333228It's all about priorities. If your biggest concern is a powerful processor it just doesn't make much sense to go too much above poco f6 right now unless you are willing to spend a lot more for a lot less in comparison.The experience on low end to midrange phones is almost indistinguishable at this point. You are just paying a huge premium for some gimmicky features and more long term upgrades which probably won't even matter since you would have replaced your phone by then anyways.But yeah there is no reason to get something as old as a poco f3. That is indeed just skimping and although even an f2 is still a decent phone today, I still wouldn't go for it.
>>103333449Honestly? Yes it is, at least for me. When I got a phone of that size 4 years ago I thought it would be enough but for the last year it has been a huge bother.So now because my new phone wasn't going to have a card slot either I just went straight for 512gb.Even if 256 would be enough for some time I know I will eventually need more space. So I may as well get it now and have more space to play with.128gb today with no expandable storage is a huge NO for me. Even if you use your phone very casually it will probably end up being a problem.
>>103333449Depends on what you store on your phone. Lots of music files and videos can take up tons of space. If you mostly stream content, it's fine. Worth noting that some games are also huge so if you plan on playing these ones you might want to invest in more storage.
>>103333526bestbuy has the one plus 12 for like 150 more if you can swing itI need a new phone and that's what I've been thinking about doing.You get OIS and the top tier snapdragon, all the flagship features.
So will the snapdragon 8 elite really be able to emulate cyberpunk? I've seen a couple of videos going around but I am having a hard time believing it runs so smoothly when even switch emulation has been such a big problem.
>>103333781Is it really supposed to be that much better? I'm thinking about buying a 8 gen 3 phone but I might wait if the new one is really that much better.
>>103333737NTA but this phone at that price is definitely the way to go between the two.The CPU on the Nord 4 is just not enough for what you are paying in comparison.
>>103333737I'm from Europe my friend. This is one plus 12
>>103333798That's what I am having a hard time believing. Although apparently it does have some issues concerning thermals and battery (don't quote me though).I am personally more excited about the technology having progressed to that degree. Since they are obviously pushing for pure power now, stability and optimization is bound to suffer.So waiting for it might not be the best choice.Later models are going to have the power power and be more stable so if you need to upgrade now just get a sd8 gen 3 know and upgrade down the line for cheap a couple of years for now if you really feel the need.Even if it was running cyberpunk I doubt it was without some sort of external cooler.
>>103333065> Huh, they can fit 6500mah batteries in smartphones now, is this another chink magic?Which phones?
I could get a used xperia 5 IV here for about 400 USD or equivalent with warranty. Is that a good deal or should I keep waiting until a gen V appears?
>>103334032Redmi k80 and mi 15, last I looked.
>>103334171> Redmi k80Don't ever consider mainland China devices.> mi 15It has 5400 battery and weight as s24+ no magic.Stay away from Xiaomi. It's just bad. Any other chink brand will do, just avoid Xiaomi.
>>103334092> Is that a good deal Definitely no. IV is a bad phone. It's just old by the way, and have old hot chip.> until a gen V appearsThere's gen VI already out
>>103334372I will when they make anything worth my money over the poco phones
anyone with 3+ year phone regret not getting 1tb? I usually need much less so maybe it's overkill but with 4k videos and all massive game sizes I don't want to regret it and agonize over clearing storage. also I never want to join any cloud service but I dont want to feel stupid not needing it
>>1033344161tb is way too much imo. That's a decently sized desktop.500gb should be more than enough honestly. I know games are getting big but they are not THAT big, at least not mobile games. 500gb is plenty to download more mobile games than you will even have time to play with plenty of storage to spare as well.
>>103334372All phones are made in china and they all have spyware, I don't see the point of this game
>>103334462yeah probably true 500 does sound more than reasonable, not sure what I was thinking. good call anon
>>103334416>playing mobile "games">watching 4k videos on a 5 inch screenanon, reevaluate your life choices. I have 128Go, have only filled 47% in 2 years, and i never bother deleting or cleaning anything.
>>103334638Not the one you replied to but... You and I are NOT the same. We don't live the same lives.
>>103334650yes, that's why i told that guy (and you too) to reevaluate your life choices.
>>103334372Pocos are based and samshit should be ashamed to sell weaker ones at 2x the price only to be cut in half about 2-4 months down the line.>>103334500Android is a western glowie OS. They'll just cancel out the big bad seeseepee components inside china phones.

One Plus is good?
>>103334399afaik they never made a xperia 5 vi, but thanks for the advice, I'll just keep looking out for a V then
>>103335009>I'll just keep looking out for a V thenThe 5 V is a huge fucking downgrade from the 5 IV.
>>1033350095 v uses the same shitty screen as the 10 v lmao, and it lost telephoto too

>>103335114in what way?>>103335136is the screen in the iv better?I don't really care about telephoto, what I want is a phone that will last for 4-5 years and can take good pictures, with no ai sharpening bullshit.I also like that the battery lasts long.

I love the features this one has, and seemingly no other phones have stuff like it anymore.I read around. Even on plebbit. It's always the same, some ppl say it's a good upgrade, others blaming snoy for cheaping out, yada yada.I came here for a second (thrid) opinion.I'll ask the guy selling the iv if he ever had trouble with it.
>>103335489>I'll ask the guy selling the iv if he ever had trouble with it.The problem people have with the Xperia 5 is that it's just not comfortable to use/hold.The long form factor just makes texting suck because it's so top heavy.I bought the Xperia 5 I and Xperia 5 IV but sold them because they are less comfortable to use than my XZ1 Compact.Sony was fucking stupid for going with the 21:9 aspect ratio.
