alright anons I need your input statmy pixel 7 pro screen died today, and honestly I don't feel like paying 100+ euros for a shitty knockoff screen at my local repair shopWas thinking of buying a clean OS (like pixel) and a great camera phoneObviously pixel 9 pro (and 10) are a choice, but people keep complaining they get worse every year, not sure whyAnother option is oneplus 13, don't know how clean the UI isabsolutely no UI junk and bloatware wanted
where tf can I buy an xperia 5 V in the US? Only place I've found is sketchy used Chinese sellers on ebay that overcharge by a factor of 2
>>106911405I'm in the same boat as you, I'm looking to upgrade from a Pixel 7a and there's not a lot of good options. The OnePlus 15 is supposed to have a shitty camera so that's not an option anymore, currently I'm debating between an Oppo Find X9 (same OS as 1+) or a Vivo x300. I'm waiting for reviews to start showing up but fuck me is the Android market dire these days.
>>106911405pixel has tenshit chips so I would avoid them just because of thatI am currently waiting on a 1+ 13, great package for the price with a nice clean OS. For a little while I was considering waiting for the 15 to release then drop a little in price but it doesn't seem like a big enough draw for me>>106911704x300 is a nice option for the camera conscious, 17 ultra is also coming soon but you will have to unfuck the OS for xiaomi

false reporting posts that do not violate the thread rules is against 4chan rules. posting about smartphones in a smartphone general is not spam.
Anyone got their hands on a Xiaomi 17 Pro yet? Shit looks cash for the price. How's converting it to a western ROM these days?

Anyone have some suggestions for >High end cases, screen protectors, and other Pixelsnap / Qi2 compatible accessories for Pixel 10 Pro Fold? Mine should be arriving tomorrow. As for cases, I've heard that Dbrand's are better than most but regrettably the Ghost 2.0 case is not available for the Fold, only the heavier Grip case for some reason. There's the official Google case but it seems expensive for...maybe meh? Aren't there a couple other 'premium" case brands that are pretty reliable? Screen protectors seem to be predominantly for the front/secondary display, and given whitestonedome is no longer making stuff for th latest hardware, I figure Dbrand again may do decently with the Prism 2.0 (they did well with my Steam Deck OLED protector), but not sure how much variation there is in quality, clarity, features etc.. of tempered glass protectors. For the folding internal screen, I don't THINK there are any screen protectors as of yet, but at least this one has a a glass interior display unlike all the plastic ones that came before in previous Pixels, Samsungs, Motorolas etc. However, years ago when I got my current OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G I used WhitestoneDome because it was one of the few that (thanks to UV bonding and a placement system) worked on curved displays, so I guess someone could make one for the foldables. For chargers, I read it suggests a 45w USB-C AC adapter and that's pretty common; Anker or whatever the fuck does just fine with those? The Qi2 wireless chargers seem to fall into the handful that specifically are 'pixelsnap' compatible and the many that claim to be Qi2 certified but because of that only work on iPhones , likely made before the Pixel 10 line showed up. Would any of these be viable or is "pixelsnap" specifically special in some way outside of the magnetic Qi2 compatible chargers (or other magsafe shit that Apple uses)
>>106912205happened again
>>106912427I'm not sure about all of those chinese models -are those local / available i nyour area? Are you going to be cash or going through a carrier and paying in (interest-free) installments? If you wanted something to last, I'd consider either a Pixel 10 model of some kind depending on what you wanted to spend, or perhaps the Fairphone 6.

Why didn't anyone put in the OP that Android is getting lockdown?
>>106916966i like it. i primarily got it because i like being able to hold my phone easily in one hand so i read a lot of notifications + use apps on the outer screen. there is a screen protector that gets fucked up on the inner screen near the folding area in a few months though but it still works fine. i read a lot of people completely remove the screen protector with no issues but i left mine on since i dont care as much.i got the moto one instead of samsung because literally all apps will work on the outerside screen. i saw the samsung released a new model that utilizes the entirity of the outside screen now too but i havent looked into it too much to determine if it is compabitle with all apps like the moto. i would have probably bought the samsung model instead if that was the case back then. so if you miss the days of having an actually small phone, i would get one since it fits that niche for me. i dont really use the inner screen much aside from doomscrolling.

>>106917942Thanks, I'll check that out!
>>106917965Everything makes sense now
i dont understand why this thread loves china now
>>106917923Think about it. Are you going to carry a fully charged lithium ion battery in your cargo shorts (dangerous) and swap it out in the middle of the day? Most phones last the entire day with the screen being on up to 10 hours especially in good conditions (on wifi, good signal on cell). Why do you need a 3.5mm jack when the built-in DAC is not going to be enough to power demanding cans, and the one in a Google dongle is much better? Even audiophiles have type C headphone amps with a jack on them if they use such a monstrous setup. >but I need to charge and listen to musicWhat happened to your other battery you are going to swap in?

Color eink screen, my experience with the boox eink calibration is that it's good enough to use to watch videos. Battery will last especially long if you're not wrong about your use, since the screen only draws power when it's changing.
>>106918054i forget that the faggots removed it from fairphone 6, your only choice is xcover sadly
>>106918021because they make good phones (minus no bootloader unlock)
so is the only use case of better cpus every year just to play video games? Like 99% of the users just scroll online, right? who gives a shit if the new cpu is 5% better when the one from 2018 doesn't lag?
>>106918043>you cant possibly have a preference, you must be an audiophile with high impedence canskys
>>106918371the other use cas is it allowes developers to be even lazier every year and not optimize their apps

So I’m currently in talks to be getting my own phone plan so my parents can go on a discounted 55+ option. Was looking to upgrade my phone from my iPhone 13 back to Android but the whole lockdown has me questioning if it’s worth going back. Should I just get a pixel and load Graphene on it or am I overthinking what’s going to happen with the sideloading lockdown?
>>106918957reviews say new OS is fine and the phone is great I guess the phone is good but you should just look at reviews yourself

>>106919580>posting about smartphones in a smartphone general is not spamSince you're clearly a retarded faggot, I'll give you a tip: It is against TOS when you constantly spam the same charts, Tim cook avatars, and make bait posts non-stop for days at a time.
>>106918373Well enjoy your Samsung X Cover (batteries sold separately, and only to Enterprise customers) or feature phone. My point was EVEN AUDIOPHILES don't use or care about the jack being on the phone itself.At this point, it's like "having a preference" for horse and buggy when the market moved on to to cars a long time ago.
alright, FINAL discussion to end all discussionspixel 9 pro or oneplus 13?I don't play games, I like a clean ui, smooth experience, and I don't want bloat. Also, camera is a big thing for meGO!
>>106919638You literally sit in the thread all day calling anyone discussing anything about an iPhone, the same person or Indian. you don’t get to talk about TOS and what the rules are here when you are a racist who refuses to let anybody discuss anything about Apple products in a smartphone general just because you hate them and you’re a poor android fanboy. We aren’t stupid. Everybody knows you’re just projecting. You’re a poor little Indian who can’t afford a brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max.
>>106917575Exactly these are just Indians and let’s not forget India’s the scam call center of the world so these people are just accustomed to lying and making things up.
>>106919907is this what you call discussing iphones ?
>>106919980Your example doesn’t prove that it’s spam. It’s just a different file name and those images are literally facts annd information about smartphones which are posted in a smartphone general. You are very slow and it just shows that you are a flamewar starting person who refuses to let anybody talk about iPhones in peace and you only want this place to discuss androids and that’s not the rules here. you can keep false reporting all you want. Even the jannies are sick and tired of you.
>>106920007posting the same pictures with different hashes everytime is not discussion
>>106920075that's your opinion, but it's not the truth kid and you know that. I'm literally posting facts about smartphones. The only issue is you don't like iPhones and that's the problem. it's you. this is a public website. You don't own this place you don't get to decide what phones we can talk about in here.
>>106920113post whatever you want just don't change the hashes so i can filter you or even better get a trip

>>106921689There's a bump but the design of the phone is slimmer. You're not going to feel or notice the thickness for it to be an issue.
>>106921689The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be approximately 163.4mm tall and 77.9mm wide, with a thickness of about 7.9mm. It will feature a 6.89-inch display, which is slightly larger than the S25 Ultra due to thinner bezels.

>have S25 Ultra>Need to switch carriers due to [reasons]>better carrier has fire sale on the S25 Edge, which I have been eyeingPlan is to sell the Ultra, use the funds to buy out the remainder of the first carrier's device balance and get either the S25 Edge (since S26 Edge is cancelled or at least delayed), or the Pixel 10 Pro (shittier processor, screen and Desktop Mode, but good telephoto and better software) or iPhone Air (better processor and design, but no desktop mode, no telephoto nor ultrawide and iOS can feel limiting) but these latter two are more expensive.Kinda leaning towards the iPhone Air at this point since I barely use S-pen (mostly annoying to me) and telephoto (although sometimes it's useful) and Android feels like it is becoming a walled garden so I figure I might as well go for Apple.
>>106925342>Zte blade you dirty third worlder>>106925547>Shut your broke ass up bigot>>106925787>Bunch of poor faggy indians that ruined spg>>106925892>Oh look it’s filled with a bunch of poor people posting flame war starting hate about iPhones again as usual. These android fans are so faggot! lolnice flamewar posts kiddo but see pic related
>>106925996Cope, seethe, dilate and repeat you broke bitch boy
>>106925917>oh no, google forces you to wear a parole anklet monitor on stock OEM devices, i may as well give up my entire life and live in the iPenitentiary!this is how you spot curry shills
>>106926061Yeah man, iPhones are SO popular in India. Oh wait, they all use Android. >Google demands legal name and address and will probably ban devs that harm their advertising business (they are an advertising company) blocking you from installing unless you fuck around with ADB which is worse than sideloading on iOS>stops releasing Pixel source tree, fucking over GrapheneOS on Pixel 10 series>screws you over if you modify your OS, disabling payments and a bunch of apps (Play Integrity Services), so you either choose Google tracking and serving you targeted ads or inconvenient privacy ROM with less featuresWhere is the freedom? Android used to be an enthusiast platform, for people like those on /g/. Now it's for grandmas who can't be trusted not to install malware. In terms of privacy, iOS is better than OEM Android, but worse than GrapheneOS. With the latter fucked over by Google, iOS is looking better every day.
>>106926131>shill has meltdown and exposes himselftopkek
>>106926148Yes I'm a shill for being annoyed Google is locking down Android. Makes total sense. Are you the same kid who is ruining every /spg/?
>>106926174yep the same one that always gets angry when anyone is trying to discuss iPhones in a smartphone general.
>>106925342>>106925547>>106925787>>106925892>>106926037uh oh, melty
>>106926187Ok so you're retarded. Got it.
>>106926131>oh no jewgle anklet monitor that's easily removed is bad, iPenitentiary with zero freedoms and solitary confinement is looking better every day!KEK

Honor Magic 8 Pro won
>>106926198Enjoy your locked down OS made by an ad company. 2026. Tick tock.
>still using pixel 4aIs it time to upgrade? Should I get a pixel 9a?
>>106926228huwaei's masterpiece
>>106926233Enjoy your spyware prison OS made by a spyware company that hosts the world's biggest annual police surveillance conference. And paying thrice the price for it. KEK
>>106926281>admitting he can't afford a flagship phoneSad! Folding phones cost MORE than iPhones, but you can't even afford a regular flagship lmao
>almost 9 hours of gaming timeGood news for the unemployed
>>106911390Are airpods overpriced? In my country you can get them for 160 to 300 dollars with the cheapest not not having noise canceling while JBL has noise canceling airbuds starting at 80 dollars.
My wife's pixel 7 started charging really slowly. She would plug it on charge and it would only charge a few % in 10 minutes. So I went into settings and turned off that Battery Health Assistance crap which throttles charging speed and it started charging normally. Well now I just found out that in new pixels like 10, the Battery Health Assistance is mandatory after 200 cycles and you can't disable it. WTF? Who the hell is going to wait around for hours for their phone to charge when the charging speed is that low? Just yet another reason to not buy Pixel anymore (as if there weren't enough already)
>>106926355Even $20 PortaPros destroy Applel's $600 jeetPods in sound quality.
>>106926131>fuck around with ADB which is worse than sideloading on iOSkys NOW
>>106926427you charge overnight like a normal person
IT’S A FEATURE
>>106926775adb install <path_to_apk>oh my god that was very hard
adb install <path_to_apk>
>>106926853Yeah so you need to use Shizuku or have a PC to update apps. Oops, just as inconvenient as iOS!You will accept any restriction that Google puts on you and say "thank you may I have some more handcuffs". It's 2026 in ~2 months. Tick tock.
>>106926943but i don't have to use my google account to activate and to install my apps
also android doesn't have an activation token that if apple servers got fucked your phone gets turned into a paperweight
When you move to a custom rom (lineage), do you have to reinstall apps manually or do backups from the official rom work?
black iphone when
>>106927181they work normally, take a look at swift backup
>>106927181nigga what do you not use a custom rom beforeeverything will be gone, you can recover from backups but i dont think it will remember all your settings
>>106927193It's a hidden colour option. Get the dark blue and wait for it to oxidize in a couple weeks
>>106911390Wait, Moondrop has their own smartphone now? Cool.
had this phone been a bit smaller and lighter i'd probably take the bullet already. hell you could even cut the muh benchmark scores in half. currently below $300 on ali, maybe there are better choices, but looking and comparing is such a pain in the ass
How on earth am I supposed to get files off of an android phone? Rsync and cp won't work with simple-mtpfs.
>get a Zenphone>I like it>get my IEMs to enjoy some music>jack at the bottom instead of top>...
>uhhh let's make the ugliest piece of shit iphone ever to own trumpwhat did he mean by this?
>>106913315Who even makes calls anymore? Drug dealers, hookers and Indian scammers
>>106928319The 17 Pro series is surprisingly un-Apple like. It looks half-baked and unpolished, notwithstanding the quality control issues.
>>106926943>setting up 1 app 1 time = forced to connect to your pc every week to unlock appskys you disingenuous nigger
I want a google nexus 5 likeI miss too much that phone, for the time it come out was perfect
>>106927404f7 is the best bang/buck if you dont care about the headphone jack/sd slot
>>106927717rsync over wifi, syncthing, airdroid, usb cable + regular pc file manager. pretty sure there are also (s)ftp host apps, but that is fucking slow
>>106927732but thats the better location
Is the A56 still the midrange king?I asked copilot with my preferences and it came down to the A56I could also wait for the next years models. I'm in no hurry.
>>106928553s24 FE
>>106928587>s24 FEI checked it out. It's a nice phone. that's last years flagship.
>>106928423>if you dont care about the headphone jack/sd sloti don't, but then again i also don't care that much about gayming nor the camera.which makes me wonder if there are better choices for something more comfortable to use 1-handed. what about F6 instead of X7 pro, assuming the same price?
Why do we even smartphone anymore TT_TTThis shit is becoming ass fast as hell. I have approximately 0 faith in librephone amounting to anything.
>>106928618could even go base s25, has a ''small'' screen by modern standardsa little more pricey than the f7 though so you might have to wait for a price drop
So it's 2025.WHY do phones still have a fucking hole in their screens? Especially when we already solved this problem 6 FUCKING YEARS AGO?????????I want to upgrade my k20/Mi9T but EVERY.FUCKING.PHONE.HAS.A.HOLE.IN.ITJust release this same fucking phone with updated internals and call it a day, xiaomi. Why aren't there popup selfie camera phones anymore? I don't even know anyone who had trouble with them. Mine still works just as fine as it did day 1.Is it unironically because muh gubment cant spy as effectively?Fucking hell, I can't believe there isn't a successor to this phone.
>>106928664>WHY do phones still have a fucking hole in their screens?bingo because of glowies
>>106928664redmagic says helloI really hope under display cameras become the norm, it's a much cleaner look
>>106928628>a little more priceyit costs 2.4x times as much at the moment. "a little" is an understatement. even after a price drop it's going to be twice as expensive.
>>106928685if you're in the US/canada you could try for an s24 since it came with a better chip also check prices on onbuy for both that and s25 but overall trying to find something capable with a smaller screen is kind of a shitshow nowadays, I thank the lord for my big hands so I don't have to worry about this
>>106928664dont tell me you play video games on your phone
Are Chinese smartphones trustworthy? E.g. Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc? Do you think these phones might be spying on users?
>>106924406DELET THIS
>>106928936Who do you want spying on you? The FBI kikes who have jurisdiction over you, or winnie the pooh who is in a cold war with your country?
>>106928936ccp is half way around the world
