>do I just put another battery in the S7 and keep using it?
Depends. Can you install a custom ROM and have an up to date system that works with modern services, apps, etc? If not, you might as well just get a dumb phone instead because that s7 with the original Android is as good as a dumb phone in 2026, you can't even browse the Internet properly with it.

It's the international F variant you can flash Lineage to but VoLTE breaks on custom roms and I need it for my carrier. I still have it on the final official build of Oreo. I don't do anything on my phone other than calling/texting/VLC so I don't care about banking or anything being broken. Firefox finally upped their minimum to Oreo last month, last browser that supports it so I'll probably switch when they axe it

poco x3 pro finally died, so looking to another midrange that performs similar enough

what is a similar SoC to it's sd860? from antutu scores the dimensity 7300 looks similar enough, but i'm a bit skeptical for mediatek from the past (or did they get good enough now?)

also, any red flags on poco after the x3 issues? the x7 looks like a possible option

>>107400896
get poco x7 pro

>>107400966
can't, was the first option i checked but it's +150 bucks over the x7 where i live and i'm too broke atm for that, sadly

the most "decent" stuff i can afford is either a galaxy a36, moto g86 or a poco x7 because the shitty local market, and i'm fine with something that's comparable to the x3 pro, it was good enough for me to this day

I assume there's going to be some colour images, but I was willing to make the sacrifice, because of how much pure text. It'd be like 99.999999% pure text.

Is there a particular E-Ink ereader that I should look into? Obviously going to be stuff I already downloaded myself. So it can't be locked to a store-only.

Only buy Pixel if 1) you want to run GrapheneOS, or 2) you want a good camera for stills and want Googles AI features.

What do you mean by unlocked? SIM or Bootloader? Because there are a few games that simply will refuse to run if you have a red (unlocked bootloader) or yellow (locked bootloader on custom OS) Play Integrity status. Then you gotta play cat and mouse to trick Google to trick them into thinking your status is green (locked bootloader on Google approved ROM), which may stop working at any time.

I need something with a similar resolution to my 9 Pro (1440x3216) and something I can root. I hate not having full control over my own hardware. Only gaming I do is emulation but I don't use it very often, just on flights or whenever I'm bored and away from my PC.

And it's not a fix, it's obfuscation and subterfuge. Which can stop working at any time Google decides to update Play Integrity to ban your workarounds. Then the "fixers" need to update their methods again, only to be eventually caught by Google - hence it is a cat and mouse game.

poorfag here: Have an aging iphone 11 good battery health, it feels like iOS 26 did not do it any favors for speed.

Question would be, what is the oldest iphone you all would consider to be a worthwhile upgrade? Thinking about spending a little extra cash for a Christmas present to myself but also trying to be reasonable on price, nothing about 250 USD in the used market. I can get a 14 plus in my country for about 250 A grade with 88-92% battery health, would it be a noticeable upgrade over an 11?

I use my phone as my primary payment method, do take a few pictures as I travel for work, and it's my personal device phone. I don't go out a ton but there is a noticable 'oh shit' moment with my 11 on battery especially if uber/grab is used.

You didn't complain about the headphone jack. You didn't complain about the SD card slot. Now they're killing the physical SIM. Next it'll be the power button, the volume buttons, and finally the charging port. You will have the device that you can use but everything you put on it will be checked by an AI. You'll have to use a digital ID as your login for everything. The smartphone will become the perfect panopticon.

3rd world poorfag here, 100$ available for a phone
looking at second hand phones ive found an s20 fe at 50 bucks and an s22 at 150
i dont do much on the phone, i just want it to not chug when browsing and on youtube, i dont game on phones and when it comes to camera i've tried the a34's which was pretty good to me; question is, would the s20 fe be a good enough upgrade from the a34 for the years to come or should i just save 150 and get the s22
tried the s21 fe and it was pretty good performance wise, it had a fucked up camera and a faulty usb-c port, so got rid of it (how i got the 100)
is the downgrade from s21 fe to s20 fe too harsh when browsing and shit?
also if theres a good alternative with a usb-c with display ability would appreciate, mostly to watch movies and youtube on non smart tv's

They course corrected and keep discounting them now, they also realized the appeal is not in the stock android and stopped withholding new android versions and it gave the product momentum.

I've been using a Pixel 10 XL Pro since August without any issues, but I strictly limit charging to max out at 80%. I stopped using Samsung flagships because the camera zoom is underwhelming and I needed the translation function for phone calls overseas.

>>107415851
Pixel has midrange hardware for flagship pricing. A leaked document said they have a target of $65 for their SoC, and it shows with how underpowered it is. The software is really good, as is options to unlock and relock the bootloader. It's not going to lag in day to day operations, but won't play demanding games as well as even the S25 series. Also thinking to the future, in 7 years (if you keep the phone that long) Tensor G5 is going to be long in the tooth much sooner than the 8 Elite (Gen 5) or A19 Pro.

I don't care, I'm pre-ordering OP15 as soon as Amazon lists it.

>>107420837
They leverage software which is not enough especially when they are going in on AI. This gen was a shit test and they lost and only saw sales once they introduced significant discounts which should be the norm for the actual price moving forward. They also stagnated on the hardware front when it comes to cameras and even build which is not really different from the previous gen. Only the base seems like a real step up compared to the XL models only on sale and desu it should be less when factoring in they start a 128 gigs which is aids.

That’s not exactly what happened and it’s not true at all; some anons abuse the reporting system and got rid of somebody who’s posting actual facts about smartphones in the smartphone general. All because they didn’t like the truth being posted here. It’s very simple. Every thread has been baked by a OP openly trying to start flamewars by making fun of the fact that the new iPhone 17 pros can scratch and then as soon as anybody posts the android flagship ships that scratch too they immediately get banned. Same applies for when any type of factual information with legit sources is posted about Android software issues and other hardware issues. Also if you are really against people ritual posting then what about the baker who constantly picks photos of scratched iPhone 17 pros as the OP image? Yea exactly. It’s not okay when it’s showing the unfortunate issues with certain androids, but it’s okay when it’s doing the same thing for iPhones.

Honestly that’s a great gift and iPhones can easily install any ipa, sideload apps and play mp3s all sent via a pc or downloaded right on the phone without a pc. Use SideStore. You can also install brave browser to get add free YouTube or install a Ad Guard DNS Profile to block ads. For cases I think you should take a look at spigen or zagg cases since they make so many types and both give you a warranty if you buy through them directly.
