How can I purchase a Pocophone while not running the risk of anyone I know finding the /r/Pocophone community and concluding this phone is for absolute the lowest of vermins?
>>106545427 Is it really worse that any other söyddit sub?
>>106545401>OnePlus 15 editiondo these have unlockable bootloader?
>>106545427any phone with cult following in india will have shitty subreddit
>>106545460Yes.
>>106545460 They haven't been released yet, will probably allow it on global and not allow on chinese (tho you'll still be able to pay a chinaman from some repair shop for remote unlocking).The real problem is getting custom ROMs because even OP13 only has a single aosp fork 9 months later
>>106545459>Is it really worse that any other söyddit sub?I don't use reddit much, but the quality seems quite subpar than what I see when I visit the frontpage to see what's going viral. It looks like a bunch of kids who barely speak English throwing shit at each other over nothing at the same time that they congratulate themselves for their mighty acquisition.
oneplus 12 has lineagehttps://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/waffle/
Can we stop giving money to these Chinese phone makers. Buy American or Korean. Also stop being poor.
>>106545493Also lots of problematic devices, but given 70-80% of the sub seems to be gamers, what the fuck do they expect? Heat is the number one enemy of smartphones along with falls. Of course your phone will be full of hiccups and with a faulty battery after a long year or so of charge and discharge cycles, often to 0-5% while running like a hot stove and fusing little suns inside its case.
>>106545507still no audio jack. and back looks like a barf
iJEET MADE IN INDIA SAAARDO YOU WANT CHANNA MASALA WITH THAT OH NONONONOOOO MY BENCHODS!!
>>106545551bloody bastard
The orange iPhone looks so cool, really tempted to use it without a phone condom just so I can see the color
>>106545528Which phones are manufactured in the USA?
Why the FUCK is it 2025 and android phones still have not improved their awful notification bar? This wasn't a big deal 10 years ago when phones were small, but now it's so retarded. On pixel in particular it's so annoying how you have to reach the top of the screen and tap the wifi or bluetooth symbol TWICE just to activate it. Meanwhile on iphones every important button is easily reachable with one hand and activated with one tap.Such a small yet increasingly annoying detail the more I use this garbage. Android is so done man. Once they roll out the sideloading ban I will 100% switch to iphone
Oneplus won Pixel lost
When are we gonna get more 3-4 inch phones? Love my Jelly Star (which I both bought because I loved my Xperia Tipo from 13 years ago) but it's a shame that nobody else is doing it
>>106545661LOL no.
idk but my watch can make and receive phone calls
SPG (Shill Phone General)>stop posting your new phones in SPG>stop talking about legit phone specs and benchmarks>stop posting facts about lower end smartphones>stop posting pictures of your vehicle using different phones to compare the cameras>stop posting phones over $1,000>stop calling out lies and correcting misinformation>only $500 mid tier phones are allowed to be posted>stop posting factual graphs The truth about smartphones will always be posted using reputable sources and not just unsubstantiated claims, deal with it. If you didn't lie we wouldn't be here. Nothing you trolls can ever say matters to me. Uneducated anons itt post misinformation. They don't even confirm the lies that they post.
>>106545644please sir be doing the needful and do not buyedboughted this phone over the poocopixelsung flagship with poo pile of cameras on the back saarhttps://www.gsmarena.com/rugone_xever_7_pro_specs_images-news-69354.phpbe redeeming and boughted buyed the premium aluminum iphone 100% recycled from indian coca cola cans benchod bastard
>>106545698you should get a dog collar that can make and receive phone calls. would suit you
Why the iPhone hate? You're instigating flamewars OP.
i bet i could shove this watch so far up your ass
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra & the iPhone 16 Pro Max showing us why they are the global sales leaders.Higher build quality devices with better service and OS support for a few years!No low end ccp meme phone will ever surpass better quality companies.
Reminder to keep your phone screens clean and especially make sure your screen protector is applied properly and is clean too. It lowers the quality of what you're seeing if the screen protector has pubes and air bubbles under it.
>Android flagships and budget phones are being outsold by iPhones globally. A base model iPhone 16 phone this year and the base model iPhone 15 did the same thing last year. Grim
Q2 Results:Apple and Samsung Won Again.Now that google is locking down its operating system I'm predicting that iphone sales are going to skyrocket exponentially.
>>106545401oneplus won
Poco phones are blowing up. Latest incident was in Russia.https://baku.ws/en/world/a-phone-exploded-in-a-schoolgirls-hands-near-moscowTKD. THD. TJD.
iPhone will be the only option for side loading until the EU passes laws that forces Google to do what Apple had to do.https://youtu.be/L1S0SiBuJN8?si=8OvC12dzMfAdDhxU
Current best Geekbench results
>>106545563You can (and should) buy a phone made in Europehttps://www.hmd.com/en_gb/hmd-xr-21
>Idk if your camera is glitching or you lied about going outside and it's a reflection or you added a filter etc. Why are stars showing in the railing?vivo x200 ultra fake ai enhanced pics lol
Samsung Won
>>106545799>from Qualcomm parts
Google Lost
Yall arguing who has the best phone, I got 5g in my brain anons. I’m levels ahead of your devices. My brain is the smartphone.Brain Implants Won.
>>106545808Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan I think? So again you'd be avoiding China
>>106545831>having closed source in your brian
Sony is low quality
Xperia is best sirs!
>>106545799>assembled in Europe from Chinese and Taiwanese partsWow they put the final screw in at a site in the EU! MADE IN EUROPE.Plus that phone is made from a 4 year old processor that was already midrange when it came out. Why would I downgrade?
I still don't know why sony ditched the 4k screen and notification led.
Redmagic best sirs!
>>106545858>Snapdragon 8 EliteGreat CPU, do you have a Samsung S25 then? Good phoneI'm just saying that there is an option for a phone made in Europe>ChineseI don't think Snapdragons are made in China
>>106545858who fucking cares about phone performance this is hilarious lmao there's no fucking reason to care about small differences in performance, it's fucking irrelevant outside of benchmarking people gone crazy I swear
OnePlus best sirs!
>>106545868The 4k screen probably eats up battery life
>>106545894If you want to run games on your phone then performance can matter. But to be honest gaming is a waste of time.
The S25 Ultra has acbetter camera and is a way better quality built device.https://www.phonearena.com/news/galaxy-s25-camera_id163811
L M A O
>>106545910well yeah ok gaming is another use case where performance does matter but ... who fckin plays games on their phones lol I mean apart from literal children
Tech blogging websites and reviews are the best way to tell if a smartphone brand is good or not.
>>106545901do they really have to go all the way to 1080p because of that?so dumb
It's important to read the reviews of people who actually owned the phone.
Benchmark comparison results are also a great way to decipher the differences between devices.
>Apple invests $600 billion towards building 49 factories in the USA to make iPnones which will be sold locally by 2027Based
>>106545961The S25 looks good because it's not too big and I think it's got the most powerful SoC of any Android phone
GSMArena picked the iPhone 16 Pro Max for best battery life. OP you lost.https://www.gsmarena.com/phones_best_battery_life_buyers_guide-review-2028.php
>Flagship performance sir!A Galaxy S24 FE soc beat a poco F7!L M A O
>>106545401>>106545551Introducing the iphone 18 pro
>>106545933Yeah who needs an SSD in your PC when hard drives are cheaper. Why get a good processor that can load things faster when I can just wait. Gaming is not the only reason to want a decent phone. You're happy with poverty level performance for FIVE HUNDRED EUROS and that's fine for you. Guess since you don't game your have lots of time to waste waiting for apps to load and then reload from lack of RAM.
yeah well gsmarena is run by seanigs checkmate
>>106546190
>>106546234They're based in Sofia, Bulgaria, so it's not surprising many of their names are Slavic
OnePlus won!!
I want 5g service so bad bros. What I have to do.
Is it true Android 16 won't allow side loading anymore? Are there any options? Because if I can't even sideload I don't see the point of getting Android phones
>>106546345the restriction will be carried over to phones with google servicesnothing to do with android 16
>>106546360What's the difference? Doesn't every single android comes with Google services?
Convince me not to get the airpods pro 3
do we like the new iphone even if it's an indian product now
>>106546385No it's shit and probably the shittest phone I've used but I have one and I may as try out the ecosystem of devices
I kind of want to move over to Apple with how good the hardware is now but is there something similar to revanced Youtube and YTmusic on the IOS? I don't want to pay for premium and I don't want to sit through an ad
If you know how to use ADB to install APK's then it's not an issue. Yes, you'll need a separate PC but it's something we all have right? So rejoice anons; we can still "sideload" (fucking hate that term. What are we, LGB&QBBGBBCTRANSISTOR+/- Apple faggots) our favourite FOSS whilst the normal folk are locked out of the party. Well done Google.
>>106546375yeah, android 6 and above devices that have google mobile services installed will have to suffer blocked app installing from unverified developersif you want to install unverified apps you will have to use adb install or shizuku
>>106546424install shizuku through adb, enable wireless debugging, set up shizuku, install https://github.com/zacharee/InstallWithOptions/releases/tag/0.8.1 and give it permissionscongratulations, your phone now can install whatever shit you want
>>106546446Indeed. Well done sir.
>>106546419bro i hear apple has adaptive fresh rate that goes from 1hz - 120hz, shitty androids only have 120hz or 60hz, that kinda makes me want to awitch
>>106546567https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2025&idOS=2&idDisplayTech=3here are your 1-120 hz androids
>>106546419YTLitePlus for YouTubeYTMusicUltimate for YT Musicor Eevee Spotify if that doesn't work and you don't mind switching to SpotifyYou will learn how retarded their sideloading process though, didn't like it personally but that's just how it is.
finna getting an iphone this year
Thoughts about OnePlus Nord CE5? What are the best budget phones?Also, which one is best, OneUI, HyperOS, OxygenOS or Nothing OS?
Okay, so I bought a Samsung Galaxy A26, and for now I still have the option to unlock the bootloader (One UI 7), but this option will be removed after updating.Should I unlock it now? It’s a new phone, and from what I understand, unlocking the bootloader means losing the warranty in case something goes wrong.I want to recive all security updates that are provided by samsung
why would anyone ever consider buying the iPhone Air when you can either pay a little bit more for the 17 Pro Max or pay less for last year's iPhone 16 Pro Max or just accept the smaller form factor that is the base iPhone 17fuck them for gimping the base Plus model for the sake of thin shit
>>106546424 what's the difference with Apple? I'm in the EU, and Apple has been forced to allow "side loads", but you need a separate PC. If it's the same story with android and you need adb for every single install, there's no point. Might as well get a poopjeet manufactured iphone since every single phone manufacturer is just another apple wannabe anywayGod I hate smartphones, they're beyond cucked
>>106546622would you say the hassle is worth it? or should I just stick to Android?
>>106546740ios pc "sideloading" with 7 days limit was allowed way before the eu law, btw said law didn't do shit, at first i though it will allow normal installation like on android, but it did nothing absolutely nothing
>>106546808It did do something, it's just very inconvenient to use side store sideloading which is why nobody does it.
>>106546714>OnePlus Nord CE5looking at the specs, i think it's a good phone + the sd card slot is a nice thing to have>Also, which one is bestHyperOS is bloated ONEUI is bloated with nice features but still bloatedOxygenOS is close to stockNothingOS is close to stock
>>106546853what did it do ? allow people to have third party stores ? still requires a dev account
>>106546793The only benefit from the iOS versions of these modded apps is that they're not as well known so they don't get patched as often, if at all. Though YTMusic Revanced I haven't had to patch in months, the whole Spotify crackdown on xmanager from this year was avoided on the iOS side iircOther than that you have to deal with this bullshit >>106546808 where you have to self-host a server on your local network like altstore to auto-refresh the 7 day limit.I wouldn't make it as "the reason to get an iPhone" it's more so how to cope with having one.
just bought an used OnePlus 11 for 220€ without even checking prices, did i do good
>>106546620aieeeee i should have gotten the p10 pro instead of the p10, oh well just another 2 years til i can upgrade again
>>106546888i am sad that the guy (the trollstore dev) who said he found a jailbreak for ios 18, got a job offer from an Israelin """"""security company""""" and stopped giving updates about it
>>106546895no bro think of how many times that guy probably used it to fap he probably came all over that phone like 1000 times and there's dried cum in very nook and cranny of that phone now
>>106546973easy anon should just dip it in IPA
>>106545655Remove the internet toggle and add the individual Wi-Fi and cellular buttons>>106546424That’s not the problem with the new rules you idiot. They will require DEVELOPERS to validate their apps with an account. Do you think the people who make pirate apps like the Vanced crap will 1) sign up for it 2) get approval?>>106546419If you care about music in the current year you either stop being poor and sign up for a subscription service or download all your music and listen locally.
>>106547021>Remove the internet toggle and add the individual Wi-Fi and cellular buttonsNTA, i used better internet tiles with shizuku and for some reason my cellular stopped working, i had to uninstall it and reset my network settings
>>106547118Why would you need shizuku to edit the tiles when there’s an «edit» button right there at the bottom
>>106546725>bootloader means losing the warrantyCost of freedom. You can always relock before giving it for warranty work. IDK how easy or feasible it is these days. It is the cost of freedom. You'll still receive updates if you unlock the bootloader. Why unlock it in the first place if I may ask?
>>106546887It doesn't
>>106547154because google removed separate wifi and cellular tiles and i am stuck with their shitty Internet tile, better internet tiles fix that with root and shizuku but with shizuku it's a bit broken
>>106547213what doesn't ? third party store ?
>>106547216Huh maybe I’m getting things mixed up but on lineageos 22 I had the option to add the separate cellular and Wi-Fi buttons. I shouldn’t have assumed that that was the default for stock android, my bad.
>>106547387yes stock android sucks, i will wait until my phone supports lineage os
>>106546869It doesn't have stereo speakers though, would you say its the best budget phone overall?
>>106547429i missed that, well only get it if you care about the sd slot other than that you have far better alternatives
>>106547546>you have far better alternativesfor example... ?
My idiotic question(request for assistance)Am installing shizuku on my phone to delece factory installed bloat(office suite)but i cant get shizuku running.Got S8 with androind 9 so im doing >Start by connecting to a computerstepsIm stuck at final step >Copy the command and paste into the terminal. If there is no problem, you will see that Shizuku has started successfully in Shizuku app.but for some reason there is no directory for shizuku on my phone.I have the application installed on it, but when searching for shizuku on my phone, only the apk comes up.any idea where i couldve fucked up?
>>106547553OnePlus Nord 4
>>106545427They would only find out if you tell them or show it off like a instagram brain-rotted retard.Most people will assume you either have a weird Samsung, or think you have a prepaid phone from one of those weird cheap brands like Alcatel or BLU, Specially if you have a case on it. No one will really care.
>>106547632and that's taking into account xiaomi and samsung phones?
Why
>>106545910>>106545933>>106546051The only games that really need high performance chips are Hoyoverse garbage, with some unknown exceptions like ARK mobile. Everything else can run just fine on mid-tier phones. people forget phone games are free and they make their money of microtransactions, skin selling, and waling. You need your game to reach as many people as possible if it's mobile. If you make it so that your game can only run on the latest Snapdragon/Dimensity/Apple chip is just gonna hurt you. No, you make it so it can run fine on sub $300 prepaid phone garbage.In short: Only Genshin Impact players who are too stupid to figure out that game runs much much much better on PC are the only ones who care about phone chip performance. Everyone else can do just fine with mid-tier chips.
>>106546336Why though? On 4G I've had speeds up to 70 Mbps which is fast enough for my needs
>>106547668i'd say just get oneplus nord 5
>>106547763I tried running a Gamecube game on my mid-tier Android phone the other day, using the emulator Dolphin. It didn't run very well. If I had a top chip then I'm guessing it would run much better.
>>106547809That's because, as a basic rule of thumb, emulation consumes about 4 times more resources than it would take to run the game natively. If they remade the game you want to play into an APK it would run just fine on your mid-tier phone.
>>106547853Oh? Well get Nintendo on that. Until then, gobs of processing and graphics power is useful for emulating GameCube/Wii, PS2, etc. Even the previous generation of console emulation benefit from this. >noooooo you can't use your multipurpose device for games, because I am from reddit and PC Master.. I mean Main... Race... I mean Demographic. Can't hear you over my phone outputting to my TV and playing Saturn games with a controller.
Reminder that if you have an android you're no different than j**tsI look down on you.
