Age of privacy is over thanks to Palantir. your phone without a sim can be traced anywhere in the world due to ancient telco equipment in use by telcos all around the world called Signalling System No. 7 (SS7) '. all kinds of spy agencies and police and even organized crime figures with enough cash can get illegal access to the network. every sms, call, location, phone/sim identifiers can be collected in an instant. the global telecommunications system really is that compromised. who nose why.

He can't keep his current phone because it's literally dying. Also, no, Termux is not going to perform any worse on a Mediatek than it will on a Snapdragon. Sure, the 7020 is a slower SOC than the Snapdragon 855, but none of that is going to matter when his storage and his battery has been decaying for the last 6 years of use.

If the Stylus 2026 has the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, that will be the budget phone of the year (for burgers). All they have to do is not shed the headphone jack and micro sd card. That's literally all they have to do, and they would win.

I bought the pixel for the photo but given the series is not improving on it and even getting worse and the video is still bad I'm very tempted by the new iphone. But how hard is it to switch? Can I still use gemini or google lens on it or something like circle to search? I've read apple ai sucks.

And also how long do the iphone last before their planned obsolescence?
>>
>>106598662
Apple AI doesn't just suck, it's literally non-existent. There is no Apple AI "yet" but it'll be here soon™. They promised AI during the iPhone 16 Apple Event and couldn't stop talking about it. One year later, there's still nothing. This year's Apple Event they didn't even mention "AI" once.
Pixel is going all-in hard on AI. They're ignoring literally all hardware and going all in on AI to give you useless gimmicks like Add Me and Magic Cue.
Pixel is supported for 7 years. iPhone guarantees minimum only 5 years, but they are known to literally send updates to nerf your phones so you'll be forced to buy new ones. See: >>106597058

Chatgpt integration sounds good enough guess will jump on it.
And yeah the better specs is what's selling it to me too. I've had both the pixel 6 and 7 and the pixel brand looks doomed, like stuck stagnating with cheam hardware and not likely to be more than a midrange kind of phone in the near future.
>>
>>106598828
Here's the thing: Pixel is a midrange phone through and through. There's nothing wrong with midrange phones.
The problem is when they're charging Apple prices so we expect top-tier prices. Granted, they drop in price a lot, especially by $150 or $200 by Black Friday. But IMO, it's not enough for what they're offering.
>>
>>106598873
The launch prices are bullshit indeed but since they drop very quickly and there are so many discounts throughout the year it's not that big of a deal. I pretty sure most people like me bought their pixels at the deserved midrange price.

But I hoped that one day the pixel brand would go premium and offer the best package in an android phone, camera photos or videos on par if not better than iphones, great battery and charging, top tier processors etc. But it seems google has no ambition other than AI and I fear it's going tonbe another of their doomed brands like the stadia.
>>
>>106598920
>pixel brand would go premium and offer the best package in an android phone
This was my hope as well. They've always just stayed at the midrange performance, unfortunately.

>google has no ambition other than AI and I fear it's going tonbe another of their doomed brands like the stadia.
This. But actually, a correction: they don't really care about their Pixel products but Pixel will never die.
What is Google? Google is an ad company. They make almost all their money from ads. How to optimize ads? Collect user's data. There's no better way to collect user data than on your phone. Google will continue to sell Pixel even if it somehow were being sold as a loss, because they want your info.
There's a news article somewhere where Google was caught stealing user info on Pixel phones that were idle. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1lpvane/google_fined_314_million_for_pulling_data_from/

It's not just Pixel, all brands are looking like downgrades right now. Samsung S25 Ultras are a marginal upgrade over the S24 Ultra, same deal with iPhones. Everyone is focusing on AI integration, so the actual hardware is being ignored, aside from extra RAM to run AI shit.

Google cared about making flagships when they were making Nexus phones back in the day. And they had to cause everyone else at the time, Samsung, LG, HTC, etc. Were just making dumbphone garbage with Android, once everyone got with the program of making flagships, Google pivoted to making Pixels, which were always meant to be mid-tier phones.

>>106600524
Would be nice if they did a Samsung and included the Tensor on the 10A and base model 10 (and priced it appropriately) then put the Snapdragon Elite on the Pro and Pro XL.

>Google cared about making flagships when they were making Nexus phones back in the day
Sorry kid, but I was there. Google never has and never did make any top-tier phones. Nexus and Pixel has always, always been mid-tier hardware/performance. Name a single Nexus or Pixel phone that is top-tier competing against Apple's flagship iPhone. You can't.
It used to be mid-tier prices plus with their Google brand it was quite appealing.
But now it's low-tier hardware, mid-tier performance, and top-tier pricing. Just look at Pixel 10 Pro. It's embarrassing.

Best phone with stock android on 350€ budget that's better in every aspect than my current poco X5 Pro 5G? It needs to be compatible with USB-C DACs and require power delivery like my current POCO, as well as the ability to connect a mass storage device (I think it's simply a matter of having OTG). What's worrying me, however, is whether these things can work simultaneously (i.e., PD charging, DAC, and external storage all together). Is that possible? I was still considering the Moto G Stylus 2025, is it better or worse than my current POCO?

Is Samsung A26 the best "budget" Samsung phone? It only seems to lack stereo speakers but that's easily remedied with earbuds.

The reason I am looking into Samsung is because it offers like 6 years of software + security support which seems to be the longest support from a phone manufacturer.

Only downside is oneUI, it looks boring and bland, but I live in Norway so the only phones really sold her are Apple and Samsung lol

Oh noes! I got called a kid by some oldfag! how will I ever recover!?

You fucking loser, you don't have monopoly on age, I was there too. The entire point of Nexus phones was to teach everyone how to make flagships. This is why HTC made the first one, Samsung made the next two upgrades, LG made about 3 of them, Motorola made one, and Huawei made the last one.

The reason why they were flagships is that those manufacturers were just gimping Android even more than what they do with the bloatware of today, they were using Android to make dumbphones that had no app stores and no updates or ways to upgrade them, fully 100% in control of the manufacturer. That or the equivalent on an android phone by Alcatel or BLU, the cheapest of the plasticky cheap shit, slow as fuck, could barely run apps. The closest thing to an actual android phone the way we know them today was the Verizon Droid, and that was 100% tied up to Verizon. Even the app store was curated by Verizon. so Google commissioning a phone using stock android with an app store and upgrades and updates made everyone go Whoa like they're Keanu Reeves.

Just that alone made them better than any other android phone in the market, the bloatware and bullshit was that bad. We have a term for that kind of smartphone, the best of the best you can find in a particular time or place. Wanna guess what that term is? The reason why they couldn't compete with iPhones at the time was quite simply the time advantage. Apple had a 3 year headstart into making the iPhone, whereas Google had to get everyone in a huddle tell them to stop being fucking gay faggots, play the game like the mean business or fuck off, and show them all how to build flagships with the Nexus line so they could eventually be on par with iPhones.

Opinions on ChatGPT's assessment of phone options?


Shortlist ranked for your priorities (photos = BT audio > gaming). All support USB-C DAC dongles for 3.5 mm.
Max budget: 500 €

Tier 1 — camera + BT leaders (<€500 if on offer)

Xiaomi 14T Pro — Very strong night shots for class, Leica tuning; wide BT codec set incl. LDAC/LHDC. Gaming fast.

Pixel 8a — Best sub-€500 night photo consistency; LDAC supported on Android; aptX varies by Pixel gen. Gaming OK.

Stretch pick (>€500 at MSRP)
3) Pixel 9 — Night photo and video leader; 7-year support; works with USB-C DACs and LDAC. Buy only if discounted into your band.

Tier 2 — BT codec flexibility + good cameras
4) Nothing Phone (3a) — LDAC/LHDC/aptX Adaptive reported; camera good, not Pixel-level at night.

5) POCO F7 — Broad codec support (LDAC, aptX Adaptive, LHDC); gaming very strong; night camera decent, not top.

Tier 3 — solid all-rounders if discounted
6) realme 12 Pro+ — Periscope zoom helps low-light portraits; LDAC/aptX/LHDC supported.

7) Motorola Edge 50 Neo — Noted LDAC/aptX support; camera fine, gaming mid.

8) Samsung Galaxy A55 — Reliable camera with Night mode; LDAC typical on recent Samsung, aptX usually absent.

9) Redmi Note 13 Pro+ / Honor Magic6 Lite — Good value cameras; BT fine for everyday use. Pick on price.

3.5 mm adapter note
None of these have a jack. Use a USB-C DAC dongle; analog “AAM” isn’t universal, but DAC dongles work across Android, including Pixels.

I also prioritize camera for the best photo/video quality. I did a ton of research and ordered the iPhone 17 Pro.
Generally the top contenders are: iPhone 17 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro, and Samsung S25 Ultra.
The general consensus is iPhone 17 has the best video, Pixel has the best photo, and S25 Ultra has the best zoom.
I chose iPhone 17 Pro because Pixel has best photo, but not by much while Pixel has far inferior video compared to iPhone. I don't care about telephoto.

Kinda what the other anon said
Iphone camera is the best out of the box for both photos and videos.
S25 ultra is a good all rounder but only excel in some raw hardware like 200mp resolution or zoom.
Pixel takes great photos but videos suck the most.

One thing you must consider is post processing and color contrasts and this can be subjective. Iphone doesn't over do it and is closest to natural, samsung does and goes for high dynamic contrast and pixel has toned it down a bit this year some would say a bit too much.
If you care for most natural look that reproduces an actual camera the most then iphone is the best, better than pixel even for photos at least this year.

>>106607562
IDK why these anons enjoy posting misinformation itt. It's sad. Imagine actually thinking the S26 Ultra would go with Exynos lol, lmao even. It's c9nfirmed to be a Snapdragon again.

A quick googling shows only the ultra will use the snapdragon. Regular and plus will come with exynos.
>>106607587
Nta but exynos are notorious for their overheating porblems and also are less powerful.
Samsung used to make the tensor chips for google and those were overheating as well to the point that google is no longer ordering their chips from samsung but tsmc like everyone else

You know what they say! You get what you pay for!
>>

>>
>>106607620
I'm not that anon he's full of shit.
>>
>>106607663
You are the one lying about the s26 ultra not having a snapdragon. these uneducated liars ruin spg every thread.
>>
>>106607562
>>106607601
S26 Ultra will have a Snapdragon. Stop lying and making low iq posts.
>>
About to order the 16pro max? Am i about to make a mistake chat?
>>
>>106607172
I have charging pads in my night stand, in my car and at my workplace (home office and office), so not a real problem. I am almost all the time at around 80% battery, because of battery protection.
>>
>>106607712
How much?
You're missing out on better selfie camera and better telephoto.

>to the point that google is no longer ordering their chips from samsung but tsmc like everyone else
And the TSMC chips have turned out to be even worse XD

incorrect. the tsmc chips are better, but not the best.

If you care about software support, get the A26 with 8GB of RAM. Don't get the 6GB RAM one. Websites are getting more complex and chugging more RAM as time goes on. 8GB of RAM will age well.

G5 is better and also has less overheating complaints granted it's only been a month since the 10 series is out

>>106607348
>>106605973
Thanks for the help.
I'm looking at some of the Pro models now. Are any of them obviously better, or should I save some money and get an older one?
>>
So, the S25/25+ are a scam right? Still using the same cameras as the S22.
>>
>>106608615
Wait until you find out that iPhone 17 Pro uses the same cameras as iPhone 12 Pro.
>>
>>106608615
>>106608671
stop lying itt.

imagine saying a 3+ years older smartphone is better compared to its modern day version with way better hardware, software and build quality.
>>
>>106608686
No, really. The iPhone uses the same exact main camera for 5 years now. It has not upgraded. Look it up yourself.
>>
>>106608701
Wtf is ProRes Raw? Isn't it useless for 99% of us?
>>
>>106608762
it literally has a square camera sensor now all older versions were rounded. just stop.
>>
>>106608771
the iPhone Pro lineups are very popularly used to make movies, tv shows, music videos and unfortunately streamers on twitch, youtube, tiktok, instagram etc.
>>
>>106608774
>square camera sensor
Only front camera.
We're talking main camera. Reading comprehension.
>>
>>106608791
I get that, but what's the real difference between letting your phone auto settings for you vs shooting in ProRes Raw and editing it yourself? Is it really that big a difference in quality?
>>
>>106608797
you never said rear, you only said the same as the 12. you got no reading comprehension.
>>
>>106608809
Bro.. literally read this again: >>106608762
Also lol, so you do admit the REAR MAIN CAMERA hasn't been updated.
>>
>>106608807
28 Years Later partially shot using a 15 Pro Max in Raw 4k
>>
>>106608825
Yes but.. what's the difference between ProRes Raw and auto?
>>
>>106608823
if you are gonna think any believes your misinformation posts claiming a iphone 12 and the iphone 17 pro have the same camera and no difference in quality or image processing you are just trolling.
