Anyone here has a Cat S22 Flip? What's the experience? Do you run it stock or did you install a GSI?
>>103562186No cats here but two dogs. Overall I'd say the UX is superiorMine don't do flips tho
What's the modern equivalent to the Moto G nowadays? I know Motorola still makes the G, but I'm talking about a budget phone that is so good it might as well not be a budget phone.
>>103562369>a budget phone that is so good it might as well not be a budget phoneno longer a thingleast worst are probably those xiaomi-with-different-name like poco, but you'd be much better off by looking for a used flagship
>>103562369As above poster said there is no such thing nowadays, chinkpones have shitty android flavours and Moto Gs have worse build quality but they're still the best value you can get for the money.

>>103563974>shitty OLED is bad>durr you should limit yourself to even shittier models with 2013 tier screenswhy? why not get something good?
Trying to decide on my next device and the flagships are much of a muchness at this point. No single one has a 'killer' feature that makes it stand above the rest. Across work and personal handsets I've used both iOS and Android extensively and would be happy with either at this point.
>>103564078sorry I don't trust bald people
>>103564126OEMs are the ones deliberately gimping IPS by choosing not to use the best IPS tech available, or bothering to improve on it at all. It's obvious from the fact that IPS screens have stagnated in maximum brightness at 1000 nits for over 10 years, and not only that, only screens with a maximum brightness of well below that are even being used at all. Never mind the shitty OLED panels from budget phones, even the best OLED screens on flagships are very susceptible to issues like green lines. It's a fact that they're forcing planned obsolesence on us and you're basically saying that we should just lap it up mindlessly.
>>103560595>f/1.5I fucking hate marketers. Is that the full-frame equivalent or just "actual" f/1.5? Because if it's the latter that would be equivalent to just f/8 on a full frame, if I did my napkin math right.
>>103564192>better screen is planned obsolescence because they can be damagedplease tell us how IPS screens are impervious to damage
>>103564256It's one thing to take damage if the device takes a hard fall. It's another thing entirely to get unfixable green lines just from a software update or a slight bump on the table.
>>103564078Literally whos post videos like this every other day and idiots still fall for them. Phones will never have>DSLR qualitybecause of physics.
Don't care, still rocking a Samsung Galaxy A55.
>>103564332ummm ahkshually you can just upscale your 480p image to 8k nowadays??
>>103564281>software updateyou dropped it while it was updating?>slight bumpyour gay partner threw it against the wall during an argument?I have never had a green line across many OLED phones. But I treat my electronics with respect. I know a guy with a Samsung Flip with lines and dead pixel holes in his inner screen, the outer screen is shattered and broken. Again, this is from abusing his phone. An update or "slight bump" didn't cause these issues.
>>103564476You have a shitty A55.
>>103564078>Photographers are slowly moving to Medium Format over Full Frame to achieve better quality>Somehow a phone camera the size of that baldies tiny nuts is better than a Full FrameRule of thumb is the larger a sensor, the better the image quality (if they're comparable in technology).INB4 anyone asking in confusion: Medium Format sensors are 2 times larger than Full Frame.
>>103563292>S25U>8-bit panelDon't these fucks claim HDR support? I thought you needed 10-bit for it, unless they sell 8-bit + FRC as a "feature".
>>103562369Moto G Stylus 2024Moto G Power 2024Pixel 8a
>>103564545Lol. I don't have an OLED phone so neither happens to me. My dad did break his OLED phone's screen by putting a case on his phone, though. Didn't drop it or knock it against anything, either.
>>103560942T Mobile. More bands so you have more options of phones, other than what your carrier is offering.
>>103564586It's not a bad mid-ranger to be fair, at least in terms of software support which is non-existent on Chinaphones.

Glass screen protector: y/n?Phone was expensive and doesn’t have rounded edges so it would look decent

>>103560595How much do phone cameras really mean to you? I feel like I'm out of sync with everyone else regarding smartphones. Whenever I look up a review odds are good 50% of it will be taken up just discussing the most granular details of the camera. The comparison photos look ever so slightly crisper or smoother or the lighting is a somewhat different hue. I just take their word that it means they look "better". But for the life of me I can't believe this is compelling most people to spend the extra $100+ they're sometimes asking for.
>>103565281Normal people will leave the house most days and will want to capture moments throughout the day.
>>103565225>Yes but what if I shoot it with a phone that uses it as a suggestion and have AI shit out a flawless quality photo only loosely related to what’s real?You know what I do?>Shoot RAW on camera>Import RAW to my Samsung Tablet>Open Gallery App>Open RAW Image>That same computational photography that saves smartphone's faces now dickrides my Full-Frame image>ProfitNow what, atheist?
>>103565281>How much do phone cameras really mean to you? Even shitty photos are cool to see years later, when you get reminded of all the stuff you’d forget otherwise. Having it in decent quality is worth it to me, given how relatively cheap phones are nowadays.I don’t really care about silly 200 Mpix cameras and the like, but a decent primary camera, some optical zoom and a decent dark/night mode are some of the more important features imo. You won’t care about the performance or whether the screen was 60 or 120 fps 5 years from now on, but you might care about some photos you shoot.
>>103565281But how will you make creepshoots if you don’t have a tricked out camera?
How does the Xiaomi 14T's camera stack up compared to Pixel 8? They go for roughly the same price, help me decide on one.

Is it worth paying another $150 or whatever for 512gb over 256gb? I have about 200gb of photos, too much for my 256gb phone. I can have them stored in the cloud but that means I can’t view the full size versions if I don’t have service, and when I do have service they’ll take a short time to load.

I need a new phone (S22 FE charging port is slack?) and I'm trying to decide between an S24 (likely Snapdragon version) and a Xiaomi 14T. Any reason why I should pick the 14T instead? I get ~7 years update support with the S24 and that's important for me.
>>103567375thanks, purchased
>>103567458>implying your non-replaceable battery is going to last 7 yearssorry chud, that would mean line doesn't go up next quarter.
>>103567426Software updates do not cause hardware damage, which lines are a symptom of. >eschewing superior screens and/or security patches because of irrational reasonsoh no my computer updated and now my monitor is physically broken...said no one ever. Just treat your electronics with respect. Your inferior LCD screen will break too, if you smash it on pavement. Do green or purple lines happen? Sure, and they usually aren't covered under warranty due to the fact warranties don't cover user inflicted damage.
I want a pixel 9 pro xl or fold. What about the s24 ultra? I like my phone not doing shit on its own what does that will my pixel not? I've only had Samsung my whole life but my iPhone se 2022 never did that.
Uhm, I feel much cuter when I use my iPhone bros
>>103567510The 14T is also larger and heavier, even my s21 FE* is 2 years old. Which phone would be better and still compact? Samsung hate is somewhat legitimate, but I don't see any better alternatives?
>>103567510You gotta tell Apple and Samsung that it is impossible to do a battery replacement. Maybe they'll stop. You probably mean non-hot swappable batteries. Just because the back doesn't always pop off the back of the phone like an old BlackBerry doesn't mean the battery isn't replaceable. You just need the requisite tools and skills, or hire someone who does. >>103567572Pixel 9 Pro XL or Fold have a middling processor. The main draw is Google features like Hold for Me or call screening, or securely running a custom ROM like GrapheneOS and limiting the data Google gets about you. S24U has last years best Qualcomm processor but issues with duplicate apps, useless Bixby, and the heavy skin on top of Android which you may be used to. No chance of a custom ROM either, Samsung uses a proprietary VoLTE solution so not even Lineage is viable, even if you can unlock the bootloader, which isnt a given. If you want Samsung, you're much better off waiting a month or two for S25U, will have a giant leap in processor power and efficiency.
>>103566777Stop using spamdroid
>>103567307"Like a disabled Android app" means that it's not actually removed kek>>103567258Pretty sure they include some pretty useless stuff, like a stock ticker
im gonna get the s25 ultra. but if its bad ill wait for the pixel 9a. but if its bad ill wait for the pixel 10 pro...
>>103567808its google, samsung, or apple next month and I got a discount to grab a flagship what do?
>>103567808apple was fine and I can get the pro max 16 I love big resolutions thats a must and gaming isn't really bad from my expirence I dont know I'd love a red magic pro 10 so bad!!!
I got my heart set on the pixel 9 pro xl any reviews I can look at on youtube?
>>103567919My next phone won't be Samshit. I hate the forced fullscreen unstoppable ads Samsung thinks is ok. It's like as bad as using a 3rd party launcher now.
>>103567978Depends what you want out of the phone. Gaming, particularly unoptimized Mihoyo garbage will be better on an S25 or iPhone 16 Pro series since the 8 Elite and A18 Pro blow Tensor out of the water. Google has a lot of quality of life features in Pixel OS, and Pixel is basically the only option if you want a custom ROM. Apple lets you avoid Google if you want, but if you use Google apps on iOS they are high quality. The main drawbacks are the walled garden and some people dont like the pill cutout.With Samsung you get top of the line hardware (especially on S25 series) and a heavy skin on top of Android which includes everything and the kitchen sink - an impressive amount of questionably useful features crammed in. Not my jam, but Samshills seem to prefer the abuse.
My phone fell into water and now it's bootlooping. What do?
Getting a new phone during after Christmas sales and have no clue anymore. I just need it for basic stuff, maybe a lightweight game on the bus, to not be horribly laggy. Probably something $300-$500. Is the Galaxy A series my best bet?

>>103568217in what way is 400mhz a loss? The cpu has proprietary security mechanisms built in and I don't think you can find a bigger software company that understands its users wants. Most of these phones are 400mhz give or take.I love desktop mode!!! It's the only reason I got sam-u-sung.
>>103567901>buys a $1500 phone >doesn't need a stock tickerif that describes you, you are consooming products beyond your need>>103567458 buying the S24 to replace the S22... which was a top of the line phone two years ago... because it's broken, worn out from regular use. >>103567808 You don't need 7 years of updates.
>>103568655nono keeping a phone thats 400mhz better with the same resolution as the s9 kicks so much butt for price per performance when you calculate how long you have it for with updates. S9 - S24 = Same res. screenS9 - S24 = up to 600mhz differencesame core count sans updates its only a $150 phone if you want to get the pixel 4xl or any phone from that period there's not really any differernce. If you ask me desktop mode came with every s9 and up and there's new OS's so I'd stick with the Pixels from 4 and up (flagship old models)
>>103568621samsung isn't a good company I feel like I just think there should be a warning in the top of the thread how about a phone buying guide anyone?
>>103568217>Samshills seem to prefer the abuseUnironically; I made the mistake of recommending the Mi A1 to my old man a few years ago because it was, in my view, miles better than the mid-range Samsung he was considering instead, and I figured he'd appreciate the lightness from pure Android. Got constant complaints from him because apparently he used most of the Samsung bloatware and he didn't like how pure Android didn't include it. Funnily enough, when he got a new one after that, the store clerk convinced him to buy a regular Xiaomi, and he ended up prefering Xiaomi's bloat to Samsung's>>103568655I don't have an iPhone, I'm arguing that Apple includes bloatware too, and that Android letting you remove it via ADB is better than not letting you remove it at all, like iOS. Also, there are high paying jobs outside the financial sector, and even if you assumed every iPhone user works with stocks, I don't see much of an advantage over just looking them up in a browser since you're probably sitting at a desktop to do actual trading
does anyone draw on their flip fold z 6?I used mybrain as a stalker journal and someone used undetectable mind control on me after me shooting my mouth off (stalker) about it on facebook (lookup cisco wheeler publishing). Is there DIY forensics tools to get the stalker journal back?

>>103565281not that much for me, but normies love good camera, they have reason for that because they take pics of everything. It would also be important if the phone is a flagship or expensive, the quality standard would be raised.the Camera is the one thing that average users can easily see the difference and compare with other phones. getting good user reviews also means more free advertising
What do NORMAL people take pictures of? Where do NORMAL people upload their photos to, and to whom? What are the habits of NORMAL people?
>>103571927>What do NORMAL people take pictures of?Cute things, Food, People, Scenery>Where do NORMAL people upload their photos to, and to whom?Instagram/Facebook
>>103571942Should I do what NORMAL people do?
>>103571947Are you trying to fit in? if so, then sure, but it can be draining sometimes. It's good to try and connect with people as well, just know your limits and don't push yourself too hard when it gets tough, it's important to take breaks as well.
>>103571956I'm not too sure what I want. I want human connection, but I know I don't do anything remarkable or normal. My life has not progressed and I am not feeling well. I am dissatisfied. Why doesn't anyone tell me anything? Why doesn't anyone teach me life lessons or wisdom or skills? I only wish I was normal.
thoughts?
>>103571876The chink app told me to power off my phone, press the power+volumen down to Enter "boot mode" or thats what the translate app told me, the connect it to the computer. But the app didnt detect it when I connected it.When I did that it didnt Say "bootmode" it said "fastboot".When I enabled USB debugging, adb on Linux detected it.When I ran the chink app, I didnt run it as administrator also Windows asked me if I waited to give it access to public and private networks or connections. But I only grave it access to public ones.Should I next times run it as administrator? Should I give it access to private ones?I don't trust it but I'm already deep into it.

why do people say the iphone 13 pro is good. it fucking sucks. the 15 is way better.
>>103572031e-waste I fear
>>103567197Yes. iPhone 16 Pro is absolute garbage. A 3 year contract for a $1000 phone at $83.35/month means you're actually paying $3000.60 for the phone.

Apple is shutting down services in Russia, considering "leaving forever"According to media reports, Apple will soon completely stop adding new content to Apple TV+, except trailers.Some premieres have been canceled already – for example, the teaser of the movie "Gorge" disappeared from the Russian Apple TV;Updates for Apple Fitness is gone too;Apple Pay was shut down in the spring of 2022;At the same time , the official Apple website stopped updating and the warranty on the devices disappeared;The future of Apple ID in Russia remains uncertain, probably it will no longer work.
>>103576305they remove the previous Pro lineup when the new one comes out, so they don’t have the 15 pro anymore
>>103576319huh that's weird, I bought mine like two weeks ago
does pixel 8a overheat or should i get a samsungalso is 8a even worth $1000 more over 7a
>>103576229best buy. anyways there is no reason to buy a n iphone 15. it's worse in every way to the 16 and discounts are max 300 dollars.
>>103576687i see.guess i’ll do the 16 then
>>103576687>it's worse in every way to the 165x zoom is the worstit's too little for actual zoomed-out stuff but too far for close-up stuffthen again it's the same in 15 pro max. I much prefer 3x on my current 15 pro non-max
>>103577093itroon cope
>forgot to unplug phone and it charged up to 100%my battery is ruined.
Why is 10x zoom so uncommon? Seems like all the optical 2-3x is a waste because main lens is good enough to take those photos in decent qualityIn comparison anything higher than 4-5x is as rare as sub-6 in phone nowadays, ie almost nonexistent
>>103577479phones are built not to waste charge anymore.been like that since 2017
>>103576315This will go away January 20th when the war ends. Might take a while for stuff to normalize after but after the NATO war against Russia is over when Trump negotiates Ukrainian territory concessions to Russia and a promise to not expand NATO further (which will probably be reneged on by a future Democrat administration).Russia will be let back in to the global technological order and the companies like Apple will slowly, quietly come back and stuff like paying for apps on the App Store and Play Store and Apple Pay will come back. Although, maybe the Russian authorities actually LIKE not being wholly dependent on Western technology. I've heard of government departments being told to use SailfishOS, but it originates from a NATO country (Finland, as of 2023 is one) so maybe sanctions have stymied this.
Is pixel 9 a worth buy right now at 480 euro?
>>103578052>after the NATO war against Russiathe sheer cope
>>103564205It's neither and both. Full frame equivalent in terms of speed/light captured but closer to f/5.6 - 8 in terms of depth of field/bokeh>>103569967Of course it is.
>>103574295>>103574439I downloaded NewPipe and I'm liking it a lot so far, make a case for revance and I might also check it out as well.>>103575392Yeah, I downloaded it this morning, its a neat little app.
>>103578052>and a promise to not expand NATO furtherTo be fair the expansion of NATO was due mainly to Russia's aggression against Ukraine as well as their heavy handedness with their weaker neighbors.
>>103566846No retard, you can use genuine apple parts from another phone and it will spaz out the same. They are signed parts. If the ID doesn't match it throws a fit.
Put a matte screen protector on my phone, my first thought was "wow, it's so cool not seeing a glare on my screen", my second thought was "wow, this looks like ass" you know that rainbow effect you see on a display when it has water on it? Imagine that but for the entire screen. Why isn't etched glass more common? Seems to be the best of both worlds
>>103577884To preface, before I answer I'm basing all of the below on the assumption that "1X" is about 25mm full-frame equivalent, which covers most phones released in the past 5 years. Now to answer your question: 1) While the main lens can do a decent 2X or even 3X crop that is not a case anymore at 5-10X, so you'd either have an awkward and noticeable gap in quality until the 10X kicks in or add an intermediate lens anyway.2) Same as your argument, a tele/portrait lens will do a decent digital crop to 10X covering both bases.3) Longer telephotos are worse at capturing light assuming a similar lens diameter, hence the phone's auto mode will opt for the main/short tele anyway when it can't push the iso and shutter speed beyond reasonable values.4) On smartphones a longer telephoto is usually done by employing a refractor/periscope design which is more complex to manufacture, costs more and takes up more space. The latter might be the reason (though it's probably just greed) why "smaller" phones don't have them as the camera array resides in the same part of the phone as the SoC and a good portion of the wiring.
1080p is the maximum resolution a phone screen should be. any more wastes battery life for effectively 0 value.
>>103578741I remember high res screens were the new hip thing during the VR craze with Samsung gear and that shit, but now there really is zero point in anything above 1080p
>>103578268that's the most horrid camera bump I've ever seen.
>>103578268wait for the 9a or even the 10 at this point. I currently use the Pro XL and even though it has a better battery and features its not worth it, and the base 9 model is alright but not for 480 euros
>>103578615>he took his expensive phone to a non-certified repair shopsurprised you aren't complaining about poo stains on the phone after you got it back.
>>103578528> To be fair the expansion of NATO was due mainly to Russia's aggression against UkraineYou are complete retard. All NATO expansion happened in 90s and 00s, with rare exception like Finland. But countries like Finland was de facto in NATO since Cold war, and was tied into some kind of NATO cooperation programs, NATO exercises etc. The problem is Russia doesn't feel safe, and the only way of f feeling safe for Russia is 1. Having much occupied land in Eastern Europe.2. Having no major powers in Europe, basically no NATO and no US influence.But the problem is that 2nd thing will just turn Europe into FFA it was for hundreds of years. Imagine new war between Belgium and Germany. In short, there's nothing can be done now.
>>103578741Nah. 1440p hits different.
>>103577093the main sensor is way better anyway and the digital zoom is so good now that 3x really wont look that different vs an actual 3x zoom with the second lens.
>>1035766638a has updates until 2030 and is pretty goodi have a relative with one and its the least problematic phone my whole family had (mostly motorolas)
>>103576229>>103576305>>103576319>>103576325>>103576687>>103576975>>103577093>>103579623Stop samefagging.
>>103579623Optical zoom will always be better than digital cropping. It's the main thing I missed when using a phone with no optical zoom lens.
>nooo we can't have slide out phones anymore, they break, have too many parts and make the phones more expensive>btw buy our new foldable phone

Got a razr 2024Really nice phone so far, smooth and small. I was considering the 2023 model when it was the latest, but the inner screen being the only functional phone screen was what stopped me. The outer screen ensures that even if the folding screen happens to break, I can still use the phone. The biggest downside is the size of the external screen though, and it's even smaller functionally because you can't really use full screen since the cameras block the corner of the screen. Also, some apps just don't work at all on the external screen, I'd say like 10% of what I've tried so far, you also can't access settings on it, which is extremely odd, and you do have to scroll a lot with the outer screen. And I know Motorola has really bad software support, but I'm not really a power user so this isn't a huge drawback for me
>>103581804Oh yea, it's really thick folded with a case and extremely tall unfolded, really is a huge contrast between the inner and outer screen
Going to canada in january, like the 1st of jan, and need something better than this iphone 7i would just get an s24u and be done but its seemingly pretty close to their next release, so is there a decent phone i can get for now or should i just get an s24u/pixel9 and be done with it all for the next 5 years
>>103581504Yeah after you set up Shizuku which can be annoying. Might as well just use a computer at that point.
>>103581844Pretty much any modern midrange or better phone will be better. Depends what you want. Google has vanilla Android plus some useful features, or you can run a custom ROM like GrapheneOS. S24U has better specs than the Pixel but a much better S25U is almost here. Personally I went for iPhone 16 Pro purely for the specs and the availability of the Clicks keyboard, but some people can't stand Apple. I don't mind it. It's a bit refreshing not to be constantly ricing my home screen.
>>103581804>only power users need timely security updatesThey are beneficial even to granny.
>>103582009my grandma's motorola hasn't had a security update in 3 years and phone still works

>>103582009Grandma neither knows nor cares about updates and will somehow transfer her life savings to a scammer no matter how up-to-date her os is

How is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold vs the standard Pixel 9 Pro? I've been thinking of getting a Pixel 9 in the hopes that it will be the simplest for custom ROMs with full functionality, updates for the longest times and close to 'standard" Android etc. I'm not sure if I should go with the Pro, ProXL (not really sure if there's any reason for the XL at all unless you wanted a sightly larger display? I'm guessing its a competing with iFaggotry Pro MAX sort of thing), or the Fold on that side. Aside from the Pixel 9 Pro / Fold, I wonder about OnePlus 13 that's showing up soon or whatever their successor OnePlus Open 2 will be, but I remember the early days of OnePlus running CyanogenMod native and being as hackable as a Nexus, but it doesnt' seem to be the case anymore sadly. Still, the hardware seems decent but there's a lot of chinkphone (and chinkshit in general) that has great specs but is absolutely garbage in real life, both hardware and software Any anon have experience with the recent Motorola RAZR+ (or the 50 ultra or whatever the fuck its called.)? Its its OS garbage? A family member doesn't want a huge phone and its compact to say the least, but I wonder about features and updates vs something like a pixel. Good memories of my RAZR V3 back in the day though.
>>103581804How is the custom ROM support, if any? LineageOS, DivestOS etc...anything FOSS and reliable etc? If this was the case you could at least get some OS updates for anything that didn't require a major firmware change, including security regardless of what Moto was doing.

Can anyone key me into how good RCS is right now? my whole family is on apple phones but way more modern than mine, i want an android but recently ran into that horrific video problem when sending a video to a coworker last week where its like even worse than flip phone quality
>>103582223very good if you disable data saving, my whole boomer family uses it to save on sms charges
>>103582050Yeah and WINDOWS VISTA can go online. It's just not secure. Why do you hate your grandma?
>>103582253close, she still has windows 7 on her laptop.no need to spend money on something that works
>>103582236but like, when i send a video to iphone what is the quality going to be like and vice versa? do i need to use a different messaging service? i know everything SHOULD be working now but looking it up just seems to be plebbitors saying "uhhhhggg it is broken for me and keeps reverting"
>>103582274Yeah who cares about security. Let your own grandmother get exploited. What a shame. Windows 7 has a bunch of exploits that will NEVER be patched. Continuing to run it (not offline) is asking for trouble. >lol it still boots and runs an outdated version of a web browser there's no reason to not keep financial data and passwords on the deviceHahahahahhaha poor grandma with such inept progeny. You're supposed to help her with technology not parrot boomer ideas like "my Debian 4.0 server doesn't need to be updated because it still boots"
>>103582305This but unironically. """"""""Security""""""""" updates are more like insecurity updates since they only serve to add more holes into the OS.
>>103582305Bwo you're supposed to teach grandma to be tech literate
>>103581290> It was Finland and Sweden who joined last year and this year, respectively. You are complete retard or even redditor if you think so. They were in NATO whole time.
>>103582280It doesn't get reencoded.
>>103573416F-droid then NewPipe>>103572193Update. Seems I got the Chink App working, the problem now is that my phone doesnt have permission to unlock the bootloader.

Don't buy chink shit.
>>103579029When will Pixel 9a release? I've been contemplating whether i should wait for it or get the Pixel 8 Pro.

Are Smasnug Galaxy Buds FE for about 65 euro worth it to replace some QCY chinkslop buds I've been using for 2.5 years? I am using a Galaxy phone.Asking here because the headphones general is scary with their dacs and amps and open backs and shit.
>>103581844Might as well get the S24 Ultra. Or get a A55/S24 FE and trade it in for a S25 Ultra, but that might be too much to do in such a short amount of time. >>103581993Literally no reason to get an iPhone in 2024.
>>103582154Yes!!! Exactly!!! You're starting to get it!!!
>>103583643For most people "having an iphone" is reason enough to have an iphone. I admit to being VERY susceptible to peer pressure, FOMO, propaganda, marketing, etc. so despite being team Android my whole life (currently using Galaxy S23) I still find myself wanting an iPhone sometimes simply for the aspect of "having an iphone", you know, like everyone else I see on the street walking with their phone out.If iPhones weren't so damn expensive I would've at least tried one so far, but spending 1k+ euro just to get the base iPhone Pro (anything without 120Hz isn't a real phone) is ridiculous, and spending 300 euro to get a 3 year old phone on the verge of obsolescence is even worse.
>>103582195At this point, wait for the Pixel 10/ Pixel 10 Fold next year. It'll have a way better SOC that's made by TSMC instead of Samsung. >Its its OS garbage?Nah, Motorolas are clean Android with a light skin on top.
Any opinion on the Redmi Pad Pro? I wanna give my dad a tablet for Christmas but I refuse to give money to Applel or Samshit. I'm also good at debloating Xiaomi shit and he already has a PiHole so spyware won't be an issue.
Are OS updates really just meant for high end phones and a meme for everyone else? I use low/mid range phones exclusively and EVERY time there's an upgrade to the next OS, the phone is ALWAYS worse. It's slower, laggier, buggier, it's never as good as it was.

>>103583698>I admit to being VERY susceptible to peer pressure, FOMO, propaganda, marketing, etc.You're a weak-minded child that hates himself and doesn't know how to be a leader. Women want a leader, not a follower. If you're just like everyone else, why the fuck would anyone want you? You need to learn to love yourself, learn to have confidence and learn to think critically. Buying a shit product because "hurr durr pretty commercial and I'm stupid" has to be the most retarded justification for liking something. If you can't objectively explain why something is good, it's not worth defending. Following what everyone else does and not thinking for yourself is what bugs do. You're not a bug. If you think you're dumb, get smarter. If you think you're fat, lose some weight. If you think you're ugly, try to learn some jokes. But don't let shitty companies prey on your insecurities.
