No amount of lies will stop us from making this general great again. We will call out false statements and not let scammers trick people into thinking a lower quality branded device for $400 could ever match a $1,200 flagship by Apple, Samsung or Google. Don’t give the people (YOU)s. Benchmarks and reviews will keep getting posted. Now the trolls are lying calling me Indian.

Why do almost all manufacturers crack down on bootloader unlocking and generally allowing custom ROMs, even if the bootloader is still unlockable, they increased the barriers (Xiaomi with the new way of getting codes and the wait period) Google not releasing the device tree. What is the endgame here?
They provide 6-7 years of updates, and that is a good thing, but doesn't change that I want the option of running custom OS's. Maybe we are the product after all and they want us to run their tracking software.

Poll: S25 ultra or pixel 10 pro?
No chinkphones or iphones
>>
>>106480347
If Graphene gets Pixel 10 Pro support, then the decision is easy for me. And I like the form factor.

But you may have a different use case, and the S25U has way more performance for gaming and stuff.

>>106480818
I mean, you've been using your P6 just fine for 4+ years right? There were more powerful phones available when the 6 came out and it's still working fine so it stands to reason that the P10 will be fine for a similar amount of time at least.

This raises the wider point that basically all modern phones from the midrange up have more computational power than 99% of people will actually be able to utilise. You really don't need an S25U for shitposting on a Mongolian basketweaving forum. You don't need an iPhone 16 pro for picking up men on Grindr. You don't need a P9PXL for Uber Driver.

Why did they make phones so big. Pretty much every phone on the market now is large.
>>
>>106481188
Phones now are not drastically larger than older phones, especially if you compare smaller models (S25U, P10P, 16 pro). Bezels have got way smaller so you often end up with 2"+ of additional screen on a phone that's maybe only 1/4" larger overall. Generally though you are right, phones have got way bigger. Mostly because people use it as their primary and sole device. Imagine not having anything else except maybe a TV. You'd want the biggest screen you can get your hands on for media consumption and "productivity".

Looking for a good camera for taking photos of the family, should I just get an iPhone? I was thinking of getting the 15 Pro.

I'm sure there's better options, but there's so many phones on the market, I'm starting to see the appeal of sticking to a brand.
>>
>>106484049
Pixels have a much better camera for photos. Get an iPhone only if your higher priority are videos.

1440p is cope (I have a 1440p phone and great eyesight, I still hold this opinion), apple got it right with the retina buzzword
1440p was useful for the 2 years or so when the mobile vr fad was active

Well my mother managed to add a pin passcode to her samsung phone when trying to add some parking app. (My guess the women installing the parking the parking installed something else. She will never learn to not give her phone to random people)
The usual samsung passcode of 0000 and 1234 do not work; and it is asking for the pin to even turn off the phone.
Forums and other resources are all telling me to just factory reset it. Any ideas?
>>
>>106484703
it broke my battery for a while. Also it ruined many features which I liked. They banned lockscreen widgets, media player at the quick panel is worse. all of that thanks to their Now bar autism. Smart select from spen used to be great. Now it's "AI" select which is far worse now. And so on...

>scamsung decides to block bootloader unlocking
Get an EU variant, these have unlocked bootloaders afaik.
>jewgle decides to kill android
If you're talking about the new play protect thing, you'll still be able to install unverified apps. Play Protect is something you can disable on any device, or remove entirely via adb.
>>
>>106484779

I have the eu variant. Will they still have unlocked bootloaders though?

>>106484779
>If you're talking about the new play protect thing, you'll still be able to install unverified apps. Play Protect is something you can disable on any device, or remove entirely via adb.
I thought Google would only allow verified apps to download and that they were none workarounds
>>
>>106484825
>I thought Google would only allow verified apps to download and that they were none workarounds
That's just media clickbaiting. If you take a look at how it works it's entirely tied to GMS and Play Protect.
You'll probably just have to disable Play Protect. In a worse case scenario you'll have to disable GMS and Play Protect in your app settings. And in the worst case scenario your phone won't be able to disable those directly in settings and you'll have to do it through adb.
Either way it's going to be entirely possible to install/"sideload" apps without needing root access or anything similar. The extent of what you'll have to do to enable installing unverified apps is something we won't know until the release, but we do know that it will still be possible without any warranty-breaking workarounds.

All territories will lose OEM unlock once a Samsung phone is updated to OneUI 8. Samsung phones in the US have had their bootloaders locked for a while now.

>>106484825
Don't upgrade to OneUI 8 and you'll still have OEM unlock in the dev options. There are OneUI 8 based ROMs with the OneUI 7 bootloader so that may be an option but I've decided to sell my S24U and move on to a OnePlus or Pixel phone.

So I've had my Z Flip 4 for almost exactly a year and I think it's about to break. The screen turns itself on and off as you're closing it like there's a bad connection. And it doesn't open all the way flat. Like 175° instead of 180° so it'll rock if it's on a table. Seems like enough crap got in the hinge. I knew this might happen. Im ok with it. The flip feature is too cool so im just gonna get another one. Probably the 5 this time. Its only $350 refurbished so its a great price.
Dont call me retarded because i already know.

Benchmarks and reviews from reputable websites will be posted in SPG.
This is our only defense we have against people that come in to this thread and lie. It's nothing personal against anybody's favorite device. It's just the simple facts. Nobody is out to get you, but when you're openly coming into this thread and lying and then getting upset when you get called out for it that's just ridiculous.

It's actually really interesting being the only person that is openly posting screenshots from two reputable websites consistently that is being targeted by multiple people that are posting false information. I wonder why? Liars are strange. This is a smartphone general and I'm literally posting about phones. Imagine posting lies itt and expecting us to never check Versus or NanoReview or other websites. Never blindly trust these liars without double checking. Most of the people itt are lying about a cheapo budget friendly device being a high quality phone. It's a problem unfortunately with lower IQ individuals.

Who are you talking about like that you impoverished troll? Why are you so mad just because you can't buy 3 brand new phones every year over a $1,100 each? Why are you always talking about muslims in a racist way? Are you one of those schizo indians or a zio?
