Take the foldpill and start foldmaxing
I want to try a chinese phone but the biggest drawback is that apparently all heavily pack them with chinese features/AI/etc basically useless stuff to me as I'm getting it for the hardware. I want to remove any traces of this and since I have no experience I'm asking for those who tried this, is it easy or a pain or it's not even possible and you just try to ignore it?
>>103356974Just something easy to repair
Are snoy cameras okay with gcam?
I bought a Pixel 9 pro but I'm already wishing I got an iPhone 16 pro insteadI haven't even received it yet
>>103357453Depends on the brand really. But chinkshit is gonna be chinky pretty much no matter what you do. If you can still unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM (the ability and availability are not guaranteed) you can have your hardware and a decent OS, minus some features like paying with your phone and using some Play Integrity dependent apps... also anyone who swipes your phone can just flash/erase and resell it since iirc only Pixels allow you to lock the bootloader with a custom signed key. Also China uses different bands than North America so depending on the phone you may be missing some of the benefits of certain bands. The ones with wide support tend to be more expensive.
>>103357544I got the 16 Pro. I like it so far. Time will tell if I feel constrained by iOS or feel comfy. They allow emulators in the App Store now, Delta works well for Nintendo games (NES->N64, including handheld systems) but RetroArch struggles to play Genesis games regardless of core which is weird. Just mostly audio glitches, but it shouldn't have a problem with such old games. Probably gonna buy the Saturn emulator I had on Android (worst part of switching is having to rebuy shit) and play some Panzer Dragoon.

The phone I have is not the Max, it's the smaller Pro model so that should help.

>>103357837You dodged a bullet stupid, let the goyim eat the bugs.
hello, I've just bought a new phone and am in the process of transferring everything from my old phone to my new oneonce I'm done, how do I dispose of my old phone to make sure my personal data can't be recovered? I had files with my name, address and shit on it
>>103358293Factory Reset should throw away the encryption key and make any data on the phone unrecoverable to anyone except maybe state actors. Not really prudent to do anything else besides factory reset on any encrypted phone, which is basically all of them.

>>103358358thank you very much
>>103357682Yes. However the average normie does not give a shit. All they do on their phone is use social media and take pictures. I don't even try to reason with people why I don't use iphones so i just tell them that i like how android looks
>>103357191
>>103357191>itroon 16 pro actually has an 80Hz display instead of 120Hz
>>103358425>Genshin Impact can't hit consistent 60fps on the most powerful SoC>this is not an unoptimized game despite no phones being able to run it properly at 60fps on high settings, even the OnePlus 13 with 8 Elite, it can only "average" slightly above 60fps probably unless you fight a lot of monsters and it will droplmao
>>103358519unless it's a 'gaming' phone the soc will always be gimped because they're the ones who don't give a damn about efficiency and thermals.
>>103358519>1+ 13 lying itroon shill
>>103358519why are you lying, itroon shill?
>>103358519you are a big fat liar, itroon shill
>>103358673I didn't expect Dimensity 9400 to perform so closely to the Elite, but I feel it's getting significantly less attention and hype. I guess the renaming strategy worked because even I had thought Qualcomm obsoleted them.
>120FPS on 8 Elite, where the itroon can't even manage 60it's hoyover
xiaomi pill me
>>103357682ok? i have a computer for all this shit, why do i need it on my phone?
>>103358358What if I had noods? Dunk the mobo into a bowl of piss?
>>103358778It's more of due to 8 Elite making a huge show of ditching efficiency cores to focus on performance while the D9400 didn't.
>muh 240hz 8k displayI just want a proper eink phone
poco F6 Pro recommended?
Pixel hater from previous thread here, just got this.It's fucking huge. Does anyone run their phone without a case? This thing is slippery as shit, it needs a case, but I can't imagine making it even bigger than it is.
>>103359458Definitely.
>>103358712Where's the lie?https://www.gizmochina.com/2024/10/23/oneplus-13-sets-new-benchmark-with-snapdragon-8-elite/>In a Genshin Impact gameplay test, the phone maintained an average frame rate of 60.25 FPS at 864p for a 30-minute session864p wow! So average of just over 60fps.. meaning it might hit 80 or even 100fps in some scenes, and drop down to sub-60 in other more intense scenes. Thus they are touting that the average is over 60fps, but over for 30 minutes of playing and this number would be dependent on how intensely you battle in game. This while other games run fine, 60 or 120fps sometimes, at 1080p or better (native) resolution, on more modest hardware. It's just not a good game to use as a benchmark if the flagship SoCs can't run it at consistent 60fps at >864p. >>103359446You don't want eink screens currently. Think of how much scrolling you do. Imagine that at 2fps or whatever they refresh at. That said, Tech Spurt had a video about a new eink blower. I'll see if I can find it. Here:https://youtu.be/LOYp0M8LUYUIt might not be decent but it is eink.
>>103357191Fuck I would like that keyboard But I have a Max so it's gonna be way too big
hey guys, I bought a new phone, but I don't know whether to put a protective screen on it or not, it has gorilla glass victus and it's a curve display
>>103359645I feel like Hydrogel types would suffice for you. Or opt for Domed glass if you're paranoid.GG =/= invincibility
>>103359645I have eschewed a case and screen protector for a while, haven't had any issues. My gf's Pixel she was using without anything on for a bit was a little scratched which might impact the resale value but don't matter when looking at the screen. Her phone was in a case but thrown into bags with keys and stuff because lol girls pockets are basically nonexistent. Mine resides in a DESIGNATED pocket with nothing else so besides pocket sand the only scratches would be if I dropped it.
>>103359645I put a glass screen on mine and within the first week I was doing an army crawl under steam pipes at work and felt the phone in my pocket get smashed face down onto shit on the floor. Took it out and peeled off the cracked screen protector, not a scratch on the display. Every phone I get will be getting glass.
>>103359593Genshin always runs at 1920x***, on all mobile platforms. * is calculated based on device's aspect. No mobile device runs it at native resolution. Keep coping.
I need to setup a new phone and I'm out of the loop about adblocking.I'm currently running Firefox+uBlock and base.dns.mullvad.net as Private DNS.Am I missing something ? Should I change something ?Is Brave still the "best" chromium on Android ?
>>103359575I bought one of those $5 rugged cases with the sliding camera cover. If it wasn't for that it would've slipped already
How high is the risk of burn in on phones with amoled screens?
Are there any 3.5mm and usb 2-in-1 adapters out there that offer both charging and data?
>>103360891Low unless you have it displaying a static image for hours day in and day out.
>>103357899>>103358008>>103358260Dumb butt hurt same fag!You have a shitty life!
wait wait wait is it true with the new iphones you have to swipe the top of the screen instead of the bottom to switch apps?
>>103360891android is dumb as fuck with their notification bar so high for the top part of the screen.
I paid $900 for a pixel 9 pro 256gb
>>103357191I have a moto g stylus 2022. Is it worth it to buy a phone that's $1000+? The most intensive games I might think about even playing include blue archive and zenless zone zero. I care a little bit about taking pictures I guess.
>>103355766> Ok I'll give the site a tryYou wont. Captcha is not solvable if you don't know Russian.
>>103361442So?
>>103357191I actually want a phone with a physical keyboard.
>>103360959> Are there any 3.5mm and usb 2-in-1 adapters out there that offer both charging and data?Why do you need that? Are you Raj?
YouTuber lady I watch just dropped a video about keitai I've got to buy a 902kc before they rise in price
>>103360891> How high is the risk of burn in on phones with amoled screens?For cheap models, this is real and quite fast. The expensive ones are slower. I use the phone a lot (often 10+ hours of screen), my OnePlus 9 pro didn't even have a trace in the status bar after 2.5 years, I don't know what will happen to the S24U, I've been using it since the beginning of the year.
>>103361286No, the app switching is all done by swiping the bottom bar, up to close, left/right for forward/back. >>103361682This is the best crackberry and mrmobile could come up with.
Is this the general to discuss android related applications as well, or do we only shill physical phone products? Looking for a nice FOSS alternative to Google Photos. Otherwise I might go down the schizo path and annoy the /hsg/ guys and connect different shit together so I can find a suitable backup and client-facing program.
>>103361714All depends on your usage of the screen. If it's in your shadow of a light in nighttime it's not going to stress the screen as MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS on a sunny day. But you are probably correct in your positing that good screens suffer burn-in less than cheap screens.
>>103361799I'm not the op of this thread by the way, I just like the name op lol. >Op is a fagYes lol. Idk I don't want an iPhone with case, I want something like the sidekick 4g or blackjack phones of yesteryear. Specs really don't matter. I don't game or take photos on my phone. I just want something I can shit post on 4chan with and text my friends and family with. Do mobile banking on. Etc, light shit. If I need to look something up at the store. Android games suck ass so I don't game on my phone. I also don't take pictures. A blackberry but modern would be fantastic.

>>103362065> objectively superior prestigious IPS master You're just a poor, because even in basic models, OLEDs are everywhere
>>103361801> FOSS alternative Like why
>>103361801Photo Prism but you need a home server to run it. It sucks.
>>103362110Because he's not an exhibitionist NPC with absolute disregard for the data that popular apps collect and the vulnerabilities they often have? Also, FOSS often has SOUL.
My mother is a retard with no self-control. Is there an app to put a daily data limit to specific apps such as Youtube and Facebook? I looked it up, but the ones suggested seemed fishy. Do you guys have recommendations?

I want to buy electronics for black week and I’ve questions. I’m getting an iPhone 11 Pro Max for almost free soon. I also want an Apple Watch of some kind, very likely SE2. And next year I’ll possibly get a snapdragon 8 elite android tablet. Finally I want earbuds or headphones of some kind.So my question is what earbuds/headphones to get? iPhone 11 uses lightning, an android tablet uses USB-C, SE2 uses USB-C. From what I gather, all Apple AirPods are wireless so this hardly matters. Still, I might want earbuds/headphones that can be used universally, so both android and iOS. Does anyone know any good ones that can work with both? I think I already have some (10 year?) old ones with old bluetooth I might be able to use but can they still work with modern products?https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/It says SE2 lacks media playback but this doesn’t matter if one has earbuds/headphones connected to the SE2, yes?Finally I’m looking for a smartphone wrist mount for iPhone 11 Pro Max. Does anyone know any good brands for this?
are there any entry level phones that have okay camera?realme c67, redmi note non-pro, it all looks worse than entry level from a few years ago, which just doesn't make sense
>>103365180Buy an old flagship. Sounds weird, but most mid-rangers cannot beat a Pixel 2 XL in photo quality.
So what’s good in mid-to-low range? poco x6? redmi 13 note 5g pro? sth from motorola maybe?
>>103359593Boox has no sim slot unfortunately. Hisense is outdated now. Bigme has no NFC, custom roms, stuck with china crap.Newer eink has 20+ fps now. Some dasung monitors even 40+. Should be possible nowadays. Just need a non crap producer
is there anything on the market around the size of the iphone 13 mini?
>>103365548> is there anything on the market around the size of the iphone 13 mini?Unihertz Jelly series.
>>103364566> Where can I get a good camera app?Nowhere, you don't have to worry. It won't do you any good. Your $100 xiaomi won't shoot well. Those days are over.Google is mainly to blame for this, which closed the Google camera code and it now requires tensor processor "tweaks" to work. No one is bothering to rewrite the gcam code.>>103364604> Sony Xperia I love that cope. Their camera app is just terrible, a ton of useless settings and all for nothing

>xiaomi and poco getting worse every year>motorola is a bit of a meme (inb4)>samsung is overpriced for what it offers>pixel is wildly overpriced for what it offersmaybe I should become an iToddler
>>103357682>>No way to close all apps at onceWhy would you want to? The OS is optimized to keep them in a suspended state when minimized.Meanwhile your precious Google is transitioning to a closed ecosystem.https://www.androidpolice.com/google-making-it-easier-detect-block-sideloading/

>>103362065Same here but Unihertz Tank 3 Pro. I think it's the best phone with an IPS screen right now.>>103362099We'd buy a $2000 phone with IPS if it actually existed. If the OEMs were actually willing to make one. But they will never do it.
>i'd pay more for inferior technologyshould've been born an iToddler itfp
>>103366406Inferior technology that is FAR more reliable, which is more worth it.>no burn in>no black crushes>no green tints>no green lines>no PWM flickering>more durable in general, one bump doesn't make the whole screen unusable
>>103366324> We'd buy a $2000 phone with IPS if it actually existed. If the OEMs were actually willing to make one. But they will never do it.Are "we" the two schizophrenics from this thread? It's the same story as with compact phones. Everyone is whining about them, but no one is buying.

>>103366498The difference between us and compact phone fags is that at least OEMs are actually willing to entertain them in their flagship lines, even if only for a while. We don't even get any of that.>>103366513Another problem is that OEMs outright refuse to use better IPS technology, even when it's available. For example, the first ever phone with 1000 nits had an IPS screen, yet not only has no one ever bothered to improve on that, there hasn't been a single IPS screen phone with more than 600 nits released after 2020.
>>103358496you and techtuber fags don't know what dynamic refresh rate is
>>103366602>2020Typo, should be 650 nits after 2021. Although 2020 was the last year a phone with a 1000 nits IPS screen (Sharp Aquos R5G) was released.
I have to send my old phone it but it feels kind of wrong to leave it behind

>>103367666mi 9, 14t proit's way heavier has worse weight balance and is generally more unwieldy but it's the UI that irks me mostlythe split of the swipe down menu into notifications and control panel is annoying as fuck because the old one had both in one and you could do both things in one swipe.something about the audio is fucked up too, it seems to auto adjust for some reasonit's way more fluid than the old one but I guess that's to be expected
>>103367790> mi >was good

>>103359246>Okay? Why should I spend my money on the best phone possible when I can just get a shitty phone and pretend it's the best? There's steak and then there's Steakums.

What you have is either 3 or 5x optical zoom, and then digital zoom out the ass using AI to create what looks like a watercolour looking rendition of what you were looking at. At some point what is "seen" in the photo bears little resemblance to the thing in question, you might be better off just generating an AI image of the thing you want depicted. Also,>hi I'm Bixby

thoughts on blu bold k50 or motorola stylus
>>103369418Well they lost a lot of good will first by making you become Triple Platinum or whatever on their forum before you can unlock the bootloader, and then taking the ability away entirely with hyperOS.

android is just a terrible os. it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up to not be terrible. you can do literally nothing the whole day and the os will eat up 50% of your battery cause it's such a piece of unoptimized shit that no one likes to make apps for.

>>103372610Ended up picking up a Redmi 12 5G for ~10k yen new, still kinda sucks because I can't use half the NFC pay methods in korea. Is it too much to ask for just a decent long battery life phone with 5G and NFC and not be 6.67/6.7 inch screen. Like I ALMOST bought an iphone just to get something in my requirement range.

My shit's not charging right and I had to spend a whole morning trying to get it to charge so I gave up and bought a fucking oneplus 12 right before the oneplus 13 comes out.How fucked am I? Upgrading from a oneplus 8t am I even going to notice a differenceIsn't the snap 8 gen 3 garbage and the snap 8 elite the best shit ever?
>>103372789this day and age flagship upgrades are pointless, wait 3+ years first
>>103372860well like i said I didn't have much of a choiceI'm thinking maybe I should have spent more and got the s24 ultra or the pixel 9 pro
>>103372765Apple used prices are also overpriced and the fools that pay for them don't account for additional expenses.Like paying high prices despite BH being only 84% and shocked to be faced with an almost 100 dollar repair.
>>103357453Unihertz and UAD
>>103372789I'm just about to pull the trigger but there an allure to wait for lucky number 13...
>>103372789>>103373514the 13 looks better and the discount on the 12 is a little underwhelming. It's a tough call.
>>103373514>>103373776very tough I'm kicking myself for ordering it but had no choice. Worried I'm going to be very underwhelmed coming from a oneplus 8.The 13 uses the same camera sensor so there is that.In the past its usually that phones stop charging on me so having 50w wireless charging is pretty sick.It has a huge ass battery.If you need a phone it looks like the way to go unless $300 is nothing to you at all as thats the difference between it and the pixel 9 pro and s24 ultra.
Why is the s24 still 800 dollars. I thought theyd drop the price now that the s25 is out soon?Is there something else I should get instead of a galaxy? I cant fucking stand this iphone much longer I regret switching so much.
Hi /g/, my iPhone 5 has just died on me. Are there any phones this size still? Everything is massive now.
>>103373946> Why is the s24 still 800 dollars. I thought theyd drop the price now that the s25 is out soon?I don't know, it costs less in the most sanctioned country™ in the world.
>>103374274> Hi /g/, my iPhone 5 has just died on me. Are there any phones this size still? Everything is massive now.
>>103374274Nope. Get a Unihertz Jelly Max, Xcover 5 or get a foldable and only use the outer screen.
>>103374347Does it work in Australia? 3G has just been turned off and many phones stopped working (3G callback) or blocked by Telcos.
>>103374274>>103374393iPhone 13 mini, Zenfone 10, iPhone SE 2022 are your best options.
>>103372765I'm the exact opposite. Tried a Pixel 9, tried to use voice commands. "You must unlock your phone first" FUCK OFF. I'm on iPhone 16 now and voice commands actually WORK. IT JUST WORKS.
>>103357544Then return the Pixel 9 pro...? It's ok to have second thoughts. Just don't open it and it's fine.
>>103374602I didn't even realize android had voice commands like apple does.You have to press a button first to get to the ai shit on mine which defeats the entire purpose.
>>103374617Google has the "Hey google" voice activator thing but, just remember "You must unlock your phone first". Fuck I'm so retarded for wasting money on it.
>>103374618>>103374629wrong reply
>>103373808kek my oneplus 8 has also just started having charging problems. Planned obsolescence is real. I'm leaning towards the 12 though because I either like or have gotten used to the curved screen.
>>103374617i traded in my other pixel while buying it so i'd be fucked
>>103372464Jewgle just happened to have a retarded quality control on their store. They just welcome everything, even fi they're just asset flips of popular franchises.
Okay I really wanted to get something other than an iphone, but it seems like all the coolest alternatives are China/Japan exclusives and I literally can't wait anymore, I'm using an iphone 6S, the battery life has dropped to ~20 minutes of use and the screen is bulging out of the device like the battery's about to explode.I'm looking at either a 3rd gen SE or a 12 mini. How can I buy one of these older phones with confidence? This current 6S I'm using is only about 18 months old, bought it "New In Sealed Box," I'm 95% sure it had been refurbished with crappy replacement parts and cleverly repackaged. 12 mini's aren't available new anymore and the SE is like $480 on Apple's website, which is way too much for a phone that was outdated when it launched two years ago. How do I make sure I get an unmolested device without paying though the nose? I don't think I want anything bigger than this and there aren't many midsized options.Some of the Samsungs retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, which I use regularly and is one of the reasons I've been slow to give up the 6S, but they're all huge as far as I can tell.
>>103374629its pointless if you have to unlock your phone first because you've already got it out and ready to go. less energy to move fingers once youve already unlocked it
>>103374842Some chinese models have global counterparts like how my Poco X6 Pro was the K70E for chinese markets. Or the Redmi Turbo 3 (CN) is the Poco F6 for global. Not shilling, just giving you a sample.There's also globally available ones like Redmagic phones.
>>103374944Thanks, I was looking at Xiaomi devices among others and it looks like the global ones support very few of the bands from my provider. I live in a rural area and I'm concerned I'll have poor reception.
>any android is fucking terrible now>iphone is fucking terrible now The iPhone 11 and Huawei P30 Pro were the last good phones ever made
>>103373946I was doing research and comparison and this is pretty much the price point it will get to. I think Samsung mastered the supply side and will only make enough phones so there will be very little leftover after the next flagship release. I also think that with how incremental phone design is now, it makes it easier to justify s24 vs s25 as nearly the same.I just bought a s24 ultra in the last hour since I think it is as cheap as it will realistically get while new. Amazon also had a 10% discount for their rewards card.
>>103375287>Huawei P30 ProIf only sanctions didn't happen.
>>103375287S24 and Pixel 9 are the only good current gen phones desu

I haven't gotten a phone in about six or seven years. It's finally hitting the bucket. Thinking of getting something nice for a change.Redmagic 10 Pro Plus. I don't game too much (just light emulation) but the specs seem insane. Is there something better for its price point or lower if I'm not going to play games?
ok boyos i have an iphone 7 thats absolutely cactus, im traveling to canada on the 1st of january from australia, i need a new phone for the tripive been eying the s24Ultra because i can afford good shit now, iphones seem to take better photos out of the box AND the s25u will be coming out pretty soonSODo i get an s24u, or a iphone 13 OR the samsung a55(or even the a05 lol?) to tide me over and have a phone for the trip that is fine, then i can decide whether to get a mad expensive phone after a year or two with the a55(or stick with iphone and just carry on as i am) the 7 is COMPLETELY useable for me it just has fuck all battery capacity and has a dodgy charging port that makes the phone crash at specific anglesOr any other suggestions i just need something before the end of the year and unfortunately wont make the 25u release date
>>103377258Nope. It's a great phone, go for it!
>>103377355oh and by the 7 is useable i mean its featureset is absolutely all i need, i just cant have its dogshit batterylife and frankly my 4g has been on the fritz recently(australia just shut down their 3g network like 3 weeks ago or someshit because we're literally permanently gaped by our ISP's here and they somehow convinced the GOV that its a worthwhile experiment, meanwhile like half a million mobiles now cant make emergency calls lmao) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJavqEzEIw

>>103381811Apple or Google notification pushes are able to wake the device on iPhones or Android w/Google Play Services. Doze is a specific Android functionality designed to take a break from tracking your location and allowing wake locks when the phone is idle for a while. I find iPhone has better standby time simply because it basically doesn't allow background tasks.
