>>106932095>Foldable tablet and phoneWhy?
new redmagiks11 pro will have a huge 8000mAh batt, 11 pro plus is a little smaller but will have faster chargingall models keep the jack>>106932170book folds seem good for manga
Does Nokia still make phones?>Inb4 nokia its not nokia anymoreYes i know, but i liked how easy was to fix my Nokia 5.1 plus but its showing its age.
>>106931517 >wouldn't updates be a problem?Not really, S23 still has three security updates which is pretty good for a phone you can get for under $300, and with the S24 line and up all Samsungs get 7 years of OS/security updates so if you wait till the S26 comes out and get a dirt cheap S24 you'll still have a good half decade of updates for again, less than $300
No one answered last thread. Should I see If verizon will do the free trade in for the free pixel 10 pro or should I move from my moto stylus 2022 to a 2025?
Q2 2025 Top Selling Smartphones.Q3 2025 Results Soon.
>>106932225I think the actual company Nokia hasn't made smartphones for years, but they licensed their brand to another Finnish company called HMD, who made Nokia-branded smartphones. However it now seems that HMD are making smartphones under the HMD brand, so I don't know if they'll make any more Nokia-branded phones.
>>106932225if you want repairability look at fairphone, nokia is 100% dead in the smartphone market nowadays and is only viable through modern dumbphones
>>106932278>fairphoneNo headphone jack.
>>106932370Moro g or something.
>>106932370USB-C to 3.5mm adapters are cheap
>>106932370dangle with a dongle then
Very interesting seeing how the smartphone markets are changing recently. Pic rel is from the market share of both India and China.
>>106913051>>106932009From last thread, if anyone has suggestions for >Pixel 10 Pro Fold chargers (wired and wireless/Qi2/magsafe/pixelsnap) , cases (Dbrand Grip Case looks so far the best option, though I do wish they would have made a Ghost 2.0 for the Fold, not just the normal Pro / XL.), screen protectors (Dbrand Prism 2.0 seems decent..anything better. ALso for the Fold it appears the only protectors are on the outside, but if someone's making a foldable tempered glass protector for the tablet inside screen, then I'd be very interested. At least the 10's foldable display is glass for the first time, not plastic), and the like. Also >Fixing scratch/chip/drop cosmetic damage on the back / hinge area if possible not sure if there';s some process or compound that can improve it without making it worse or if I should just wait for the case to get here and not worry about it otheriwse.
The base model iPhone 17 A19 is very capable.The iPhone 17 Pro has the A19 Pro and today I tested Gemini AI on it which was running faster than my S25 Ultra doing the same image generation on Gemini.
love this form factor
>>106932442>>106932446Dongles are a huge pain, and not being able to charge and use headphones is another pain.If they ever fix that problem i will 100% buy one.
>>106932574do NOT snap it closed like he does in the video. you have to open and close these really carefully and slowly.

>>106932161>>106932263>>106932456>>106932567>how to tell someone's mom never loved him and ignored him his entire lifeNo wonder you grew up to be an unlikable loser with no friends, desperately screaming for attention anywhere you can get it. Negative attention is the only kind you can get because you're a completely unlikable cunt. Bet you're also a blue haired tranny desperate for people to notice you at Walmart, kek.

Is there any chance I can fix my intermittent GPS lock issues by taking the cover off and popping a connector back into place?Whenever the GPS shits itself, I can't reach more than 2 satellites even in clear view of the sky.I've dropped my phone a bunch of times and I don't wanna buy a new one just to have working GPS.GPS seems to work for a while whenever I drop my phone.

>>106932225hmd's new phone is repairable, i think
I can't decide between>OnePlus 13>Realme GT 7>Poco F7 Prohelp me out /spg/
>>106933078Are they still using stock android or do they come with bloatware?
Sheesh look at all the loonies sperging because someone is talking about apple!
>>1069330971+ 13 clears
OnePlus 15 Geekbench results
>>106933097OP13 is the most reliable in this list in terms of support.POCO and Realme are beasts in terms of hardware specs and battery, but on the software side or updates they are more risky. I've heard Realme deliberately shits on performance through updates, don't know if that's still true. With POCO you will need to debloat, it has the worst OS out of the three.If you wanna be safe just go with OnePlus.
>>106933199GT7's battery and graphene technology is really tempting though...>>106933225Is HyperOS really as bad as people say?
>>106933215wait what? the a19 pro results were better... :(>>106932567
>>106933148yes i think they a very close to stock rom
>>106933264*they use a very close to stock rom
I bought a s25 because I lost my 24 and it somehow feels much more big and unwieldy compared to the s24
>>106933322Do you like the S25? If I had the money then maybe I would get one. Smaller than many other modern phones, and it has a really powerful chip. And I quite like Samsung's software these days. Better than it used to be.
>>106932170the more compact the better.
>>106933097>westernized chinkshit>chinkshit for indians>plain chinkshiti'd say OP13 is the least chinky
>>106933097Poco for gaming1+ for softwareRealme is inbetween
OnePlus won!!!
Just buy a pixel 9a if you are poor.There you go that's literally the buy guide.
>>106932170enjoying my Chinese Motorola razr ultra. It's not perfect but I think they may have finally nailed the screen
>>106933626Pixlels are a scam aimed at women
>>106932247Stay with Motorola if you're happy with it. I went to Pixel phones for awhile and got pissed off with the numerous hardware issues, so I ended up back here at Motorola. The software update shit Google and Samsung are touting is a scam, yeah you'll get 7 years of updates but no guarantee your phone will work for 7 years, it only benefits resellers
>>106933643Pixels work great if you're Google Goy and the cameras with the AI are top of the line next to Apple's shit from Sony.The only issue with Pixels is the tensor chips are still terrible
>>106933626*if you are a criminalif you are poor just buy poco
>>106933853Qualcomm even showed off Geekbench 6 results during the new Snapdragon event...
>>106933097None of them. Here are some better smartphone makers:>Google>Samsung>Asus>Sony>Fairphone
>>106934041you can have your opinions, but thats not facts. qualcomm literally displayed the geekbench 6 results when they unveiled their new chips. no disrespect, but Im gonna go with the professionals on this one anon.
>>106933638>>106933390so foldables arent a meme?my A52 5G is kinda old and scratched up... I also cant go more than a day without needing to chargeIm not gonna get a new phone very soon, but maybe next year, dunnofoldables look very cool and I can see myself caring more for my phone with something nicer...a friend of mine says they are kinda shit and the screen cracks, is that true? Are they actually good?

>>106934234no.
>>106934209left uses a silicon carbide battery which have higher power densitystill a mythological creature in Apple land unfortunately so they have to rely on software optimization for the phone's rest state
>>106932203>waterproof>headphone jack>no notch >not trying to jew people, price is entirely acceptableif I wasn't happy with my rm10 I'd get one. maybe I'll get the 12 or 13. I'd really like to see a r2r DAC chip in a phone with modern hardware

>>106934426>RedMagic's update policy varies by region, with EU and UK customers receiving five years of software support (including major OS and security updates) for new devices, while other regions generally receive three years of support. Previously, the policy was around 2 years of software support with at least one major OS update and regular monthly updates.Hope you're in the EU or UK or prepared to trash the phone or be insecure within a few years.Meanwhile>Samsung: 7 years>Google: 7 years>Apple: usually around 7 yearsYeah, that's why you don't buy from a company called Nubia.
>>106934520based
>>106934544So? Battery is a consumable and can be replaced. At least Apple TELLS you what the capacity is vs the original, unlike Android where you have to use an app to measure charging and guess at what the real capacity might be. I swear they were supposed to add the battery health into Android 16, maybe just for Pixels.
Do other Androids have not battery health status? My 1+ has it
>>106934040I want a flagship killer and don't care about camera, hence why I specifically said those chinese brands. OnePlus 13RRealme GT 7Poco F7 Proall go for around €500 here (even less on Aliexpress), with flagship tier specs.I want a phone to last me 5+ years. I don't want a Goysung or Goygle phone because again idc about camera and I value hardware over software.
>>106934633none of the phones you listed are flagship killers anon. youre sadly outta luck with a budget so tiny.
I'm basically going to stop carrying a phone. This was the last good phone, but even Sony appears to have given up on open source and custom roms as of two generations ago. The last good phones were Xperia 1/5/10 mark V. There's no reason to bother with any other phones since others don't have fundamental features I need like headphone jack or microsd card.So I'm done carrying the tracking device. The juice ain't worth the squeeze any more.
>>106934695It's easier than you think, anon. I have never carried a cell phone with me. I have it if I'm travelling, or if there's some weird unique circumstance. Never any other time. It's really not that hard. I just never made the transition back in the day. Piece of cake. To this day I'm baffled that people feel like they can't get by without them.

>>106932884How will AI ever recover?
>>106932884lmao
>>106933663I've been burned on Samsung and while I haven't owned a pixel the only people I knew had to get the factory replaced every few years over the microphone decoupling internally.
>>106934779Let them know? Or are you a pussy bitch boy?
Is the RM the only cool looking phone?
>>106934695Good. Hope you stop posting here too. You've become like the posters on GSMarena who keep crying about missing features
got tired of the big phone meme and went from an iphone 15 pro max to a base 17, an fyi to anyone considering comparable trade-ins:>if you purchase online and do an in-store pickup, you can have your trade-in handled right then and there and not deal with the mail-in system despite apple's site explicitly stating that that's the only means of receiving credit during the checkout pages>if you attempt to just walk in and trade in/exchange in-store without pre-purchase, the value for your old phone is given to you as an apple gift card now — this was not the case prior>when they credit your trade-in in-store and get to the point of applying your partial "refund," they suggest you need to tap the same card used as payment, but you can actually have that return credit apply to any card you have at your disposalthe last point idk if someone can benefit from some sort of strategy between their cards, but thought i'd share in case there's some rare instance for an anon where that plays into their favor
>>106935413What do you mean anon? You don't like "featureless squircle glass slab?" They even come in so many fun colors like white, off-black, dark blue, and sometimes even a single pastel green or purple if you're lucky!
>>106935413more importantly. is it the only fucking phone in existence without a front facing camera?
>>106932884>he does it>FOR FREE
the new Xiaomi 17 unironically looks good
>>106932574>HaalandCan't they find a better model lmao
>>106936172base model? I think it looks too plainXiaomi 15 has the perfect design. I don't know why they abandoned that
would you ever use an A0 phone?
>>106936204Yes and the pro models look really cool
did my question really need to be deleted
>>106934144its a plastic screen, they're a meme. unless you replace your phone every year, but that just sounds annoying (assuming money isnt a question)
>>106934520>EU and UK customers receiving five years of software supportholy shit dont fucking tempt me like this AAAAAAAAH. if that thing had an unlockable bootloader it would be a day1 purchase
>>106935711it has a front facing camera (under the screen). its required by google if you want to ship play services
I'm gonna order a Xiaomi 15T Pro and you can't stop me.
>>106936208>antutu 400kno, Im not downgrading by 50% over my $200 4 year old chinkshit
>>106933638Why chinese? is it cheaper there?
>>106932574>love this form factori hope the hair style is customizable
>>106934633But anon, pricing largely comes from displays.
>>106934788so you don't shop online and pay your bills physically? reason why everyone is forced into smartphone is due payment verification.
>>106934695>microsd card.I never understood this endless complaining about cards until I realized some people genuinely don't have PCs in any shape or form. their PHONE is their only storage unit and way to interact with the internet. Of course they'd also be storing everything on it.
>>106936316what even is the point of that second screen? just turn the damn thing over. with foldable phones I at least get it somewhat since form factor is a thing.
>>106937341Internet banking.
At the end of the day. Everything becomes iPhone
>>106937471requires the app as 2fa
>>106937359really nothing, so people will just talk about itand it works
>>106936316This is useless afk. That screen is too small for anything except notifications.
>>106934520>EU and UK customers receiving five years of software support (including major OS and security updates) for new devices, while other regions generally receive three years of support. Sometimes I like living in EU
>>106937353i have a desktop with 6 tb of hdds and i want my phone to have an sd card
>>106933693I wish pixels still had snapdragon chips. They were great back then
>>106935609>crying about missing featuresyou said it, features
Tech 'tubers will praise Android phones all year, shit on apple and still use iPhone 17 pro max anyway
>>106938101>>106932884
>>106938187it's true though, just look at Linus last year
>>106938046Why? are you a porn hoarder? They remind me of a guy who fills his house with jugs of tap water because you never know when the water might run out!!!!!
>>106938246yes, a special kind of porn too
>>106932698It's been 5 years anon. They are not that fragile anymore
>Taiwanese android flagships are goneI'm living in the worst timeline
>>106938217Why do you care about what shitty YouTubers do or say? Linus Trans Tips is easily one of the worst of the bunch too. Basing your decision around what a literal retard says or does is dumb.
Redpill me on Oppo phones senpai. Are they the better kind of chinkshit?
>>106938380a few seem capable, find x8 ultra in particular but there doesn't seem to be much global rom support, the sister company 1+ is better for filthy gwelios
>>106938415The Find X9 Pro is coming out here in a couple of weeks. I'm so bored of samsung, apple, pixel that I'm thinking of giving it a go.
>>106938431I'd say wait for x9 ultra if budget allows, will have a snap chip instead most likely
>>106938380only buy their flagships, they are better than vivo except the camera
>>106933626i like pixel 9a thorelatively compact but not too smallgood battery lifenice camera for taking occasional cat pictures
>>106938451X8 Ultra never got a global release so I doubt X9 Ultra (if it happens) won't either.
