How did smartphone technology become infinitely more cucked than desktop and server computing?
> most apps depend on google play services
> zero modularity
> no root access by default
> many apps refuse to run on rooted devices
> no way to inspect apps without decompiling
How did it come to this, and how can we reverse this trend?

Faster than the 9900X in cinebench 2024, just shy of the 7950X (Zen 4, 16-cores). A fucking laptop chip is nipping at the heels of the flagship desktop 9950X. x86's days are numbered.

Should I jump ship to Apple? I'm starting to think that it's a better idea to limit the potential points of rape contact to a single party. Currently I have Google, Samsung, and God knows who else all fighting for their opportunity to rape me simultaneously. I have been full no Play Store GrapheneOS for a bit. I also have a Garmin GPS and a book full of CDs and a laptop, and it's fucking annoying. The dream of Android is dead and I see no reason why Google is going to reverse any of the policies they are pursuing.

Qualcomm's reference platform device is able match the A19 in energy efficiency pretty much in GB6 even if it loses a bit in single core. It can scale to 20W which is amazing and scary to have in your phone at the same time.

I'm not retarded, and I worked for a company that developed its own BLE hardware for a while.

First off, of course there will be inefficiencies in general. But even if it is 7400mAh at 5V, or lets call it what it is, 37Wh, the iPhone 17 battery (presuming 3.7V nominal) is 13.66Wh. Assuming 80% efficiency, it still leaves you with 2.17 charges per powerbank charge.

>Or I just wait until GOS partners with an OEM and releases their own phone.
are they planning to do that ? for real ?

>>106695979

>>
>>106694761

>>
>>106697304
To my knowledge, they are in negotiations with an unspecified (well known) OEM, at least that is what people in their forums post etc. but a release is likely planned for 2027. So we will see, currently they recommend the Pixel 9 series as it is fully supported.

>Is the iphone 15 Pro any good?
yes, it's pretty much almost as good as 17 pro, barring slightly worse battery life and worse heat management which only really comes into play when you record 4k60 for a long time or record in log
that being said, unless you care about recording in log (you probably don't) and having 3x optical zoom (it's neat but not *truly* necessary imo) you might want to buy base 17 instead

Did I stutter?
>>
is the Samsung A56 worth buying at a discount in Europe (it's 429 euros without discount) ?
i don't game, it's just for general phone usage, internet browsing (no streaming) and maybe taking some pics.
my current phone is the Samsung M31, i'm going to change because it's becoming slower and the camera is garbage for taking pics/videos but the phone has a very good battery life (and i NEVER had to repair it) and its indestructible when dropped (even the charger is indestructible, i still have the same charger and same (undamaged) cable).
also i like the Samsung interface quite a lot because it's like a PC and you can plug your charger to the phone and PC, unlock the phone and you have an external hard drive without using any third party software.

i already own a good PC for everything else so i
don't need a phone that tries to be a PC.
>>
>>106699271
old android flagships are gutter trash by now, the only halfway decent choice is probably some old pixel and using graphene on it. and there's probably a lot of pain coming in 2026 for third party anything with google being cunts about signing le unauthorized apps, so you might end up with a lemon no matter what
>>
>>106699292
>Gutter trash by now
The phone that broke was a 6 year old TCL phone. I don't need much.

You're assuming I'm gonna update android. My next phone after this is probably gonna be pinephone.
>>
>>106699308
It's not about updating android, it's about being shit out of luck if the apps you use suddenly break because dev doesn't want to doxx himself so he can't sign shit and some api changes so the ability to side-load is now worthless
It's really anyone's guess how things will go

>youtube changes stuff, revanced breaks
>can't update revanced because dev got fed up with google's bullshit and stopped developing it
The big apps like revanced will probably work for a while, because there's enough interest to fork it if needed. Some small apps that chap google's ass? Those are probably fucked a year or two down the line.
>>
>>106699364
I can't use the play store for religious reasons so honestly those small apps don't matter to me. There's already plenty of stuff I can't use. I just need
>Phone
>Web browser
>Notes
>2FA
>Alarm
I'm not doing anything major here. No gaming, and honestly if I have to watch videos in a browser so be it
>>
>>106699381
If your requirements are that low than yeah, you probably won't have too many issues. 2FA might be a problem tho, everybody's locking their shit down more and more every year and there's plenty of bank apps etc that will refuse to work on rooted phones.
I'd check out pixel street price where you live. Graphene is probably the least worst non-stock android atm and goes around at least some of the "root BAD" restrictions that are important for 2FA and will only be more common with time.

check this it has some flagships with rom support, btw (motorola, oneplus, sony, also xiaomi but their phones are a bitch to unlock actually) all of these ship their new phones with unlockable bootloaders but sadly no active rom development, so it's better to just stuck to the lineage os list above

Did Apple drop the ball with iOS 26? Keep reading that it’s a fucking mess.
>>
is the idea that i will use the 17 pro to record raw video to an external SSD consoomer cope or a legitimate use case? because otherwise i am paying $300 more for the possibility of buying a $200 lexar drive for a device that i think is less aesthetically pleasing than the 17

i am a low tier photographer and the idea of having a "b-cam" that i'm carrying with me anyways is very appealing. the HR women who hire me for events just want to post shit from their phones anyways. they don't want cinema. they won't pixel peep.

if apple just put 10 gig usb-c on the 17, i would go for the 17 no questions asked. but i guess that's literally the pro aspect.

they're getting the raw materials/parts in jeetland and assembling them in china because jeets can't do anything right, much less assemble a phone

I heard only burgers get indian made iphones
Is that not the case?

>>106693062
I really only use it for glancing at notifications and using the timer/stopwatch functions. It's useful in that regard, but so much of its functionality is wasted on me. I'd prefer a bluetooth-connected midwit watch.

Running lineage os on my redmi note 9s, it's like a brand new phone... So smooth, better functionality, great battery life. Stock android is so nice. Old xiaomi exclusive shit, like the IR blaster and the multiple cameras also work on it. R9s is a great chinkphone to keep around, since I now know how to repair it and parts are pretty cheap and plentiful. I even put on a cheap aftermarket AMOLED display on it, from aliexpress, though it looks better than the original, but it does seem to have occasional phantom touch issues.

I've received my black Air today and it does rock
due to reduced weight and screen anti-gloss it feels more as a piece of wood paneling with apps than a "powerbank with a screen" like my previous 14 pro

I've financed not just Air, but also new watch and the airpods that haven't arrived yet, so I'm pretty happy overall

The base 17 is better than the 16 pro unless you NEED... Lidar? A tele lens that's just okay? USB 3.0 data transfer speeds?
