I love the iOS subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/s/mBynQrWfhS

Are Huawei foldables more reliable than Samsung's when it comes to the foldable parts/design? I just got a used (5 months old) Fold 6 but my carrier has a Magic V5 for 40€/month, tempted to trade it in
don't really care about the processor/camera

>>107482802
I don't know how it compares to Samsung, but I'd avoid foldables if I were you. Or at least Samsung ones.
I work for a Samsung partner and we get free Samsung work phones. The foldable ones are constantly returned for repair. Like, at least one or two devices each month. It's gotten so bad that the company started charging employees for the repairs, so most people now just leave their phone on their work desk.
Meanwhile none of the "S" or the older "Note" series ever had to be returned.

>>107482802
Magic V5 is not a Huawei phone, it's from Honor. They split in 2020, Huawei is not allowed to have Google spyware/services while Honor can.
The screen is still plastic, and can be damaged with a fingernail. The hinge is not really the main point of failure, the inner screen is.

>>107482986
I always baby my stuff and I got it for fairly cheap, the extra screen real estate is worth the potential tradeoff in durability to me and it's barely 11g heavier than my current slab. My main gripe with Samshit is the endless amount of bloatware.
>>107483036
My question still stands, are they any better than the Samsungs in terms of reliability? After some very quick search I found plenty of V3s with completely dead pixels in the crease after barely 3 months of usage but so far nothing on the V5.

If an android app says it doesn't store or share your data then it is safe to use and I can be sure it won't steal my dick pics? I recently switched to a new phone and some of the apps I had on the old phone aren't available on the Play store anymore so I need to find some alternatives.

>>107483419
i've received your dick pics
not impressed

speaking of foldables, is it safe to use a controller-holder with them? all the pics i've seen always have them held in horizontally by a single screen (and only by a single screen) so the other half of the phone sticks out one way or another

what phone do I get if I literally just want good speakers, the ability to run any launcher I want and run Revanched YouTube? I don't mind buying used.

Physical damage to the display connector. Just don't drop your phone. When the pink line thing was happening on the s7 edge years ago and niggers posted their phones to the forums they would always have cracks in other places and would tiptoe around the question of how frequently they dropped it.

>>107483419
those are just promises from the dev but its not actually enforced
the only way to be sure is if the app does not have permission to access your storage

Honor's software on foldables has more bugs. Even though they have better hardware than Samsung on paper. I wouldn't called them reliable. It depends on your usage of course. Samsung still has the best sw on foldable. They have better quality control there too.

What's the deal with a lot of these big battery chink phones barely edging out Samsung's battery life, and if they do it takes a 6500mAh+ battery? Is it just shit software? Went for a OnePlus 13 for the battery and I'm getting more or less the same SOT as I did on my S23U despite the 20% larger battery.

How's amazon gonna list the op15 when op13 still costs $1000? Are they gonna nuke the price?

>>107485397
>built like a tank
eeeehhh i don't know about that...
i'd probably get a bt one but what really concerns me is the sheer pressure these things (the extendable ones) can put on a phone, on regular phones i wouldn't care but the fold 6 unfolded is quite thin. i'm gonna run a case anyway but it's not gonna make it that much thicker.
i got a gamesir x3 but had to return it because my current phone didn't fit, the first thing i noticed is how retardedly (read: unnecessarily) strong the springs were, i really don't want to stick a foldable in anything that strong...

Does nobody care about unlocked bootloaders anymore?

I think a lot of people don't realize just how overly engineered these things are. They have to be, else the already high failure rate of those internal screens would skyrocket. I used my Find N3 for a few years and had it in a telescopic controller playing 3DS games for many hours every week. Sold it almost two years later in near mint condition. Never put a case on.

>>107485967
>for a few years
anon that's barely two years old...
but yeah i get it, still wouldn't really trust it to be honest, not without a super hard case or some 3d-printed adapter.

Android is just optimized like shit. I got the OnePlus 13 too and I can achieve similar SOT with an iPhone 14 Pro Max. The only difference is the OnePlus can charge in 30 mins whereas the iPhone took forever.
When I use my external DAC and stream Tidal from USB Audio Player Pro, the battery gets completely raped and I have to charge it quite often. Android apps are made by Indians and the OS doesn't really stop them from hogging system resources in the background. Nobody knows how to make their shit play nice.

Android itself is actually pretty damn optimized. I got an old Samsung S22 that I leave on for shits and giggles and it lasts 2 weeks on a single charge, totals to 3 hours SOT by the end of it.
I mean smartwatches that run Wear OS is running full Android underneath and they can do 2-4 days easily on a tiny battery.
Meanwhile my new iPhone 16 has to be recharged every 2 days, even with 98% battery health.

I bought a Pixel 8 today and I am deciding between custom ROMs
What are the pros and cons of LineageOS vs GrapheneOS?

>>107487946
If you don't use the phone at all for several hours Android, or at least OxygenOS, goes a hibernation like state and the battery can last a really long time. All processes and push notifications are halted. When I wake up and look at my phone, all of the notifications I would've got overnight come in all at once about half a second after turning the screen on. Maybe if the OnePlus had an underclocked CPU or just a more efficient one, it would last longer under normal circumstances. Every Snapdragon chip I get my hands on ends up being space heater of the year, though. I remember my NA S7 Edge from back in the day got really fucking hot as well.

>>107487946
You have no clue what you're talking about. Android has too many different devices floating around made by so many different companies. Optimization is impossible just because of all the different hardware etc.

Just order oppo find x9

lineage is purely for extending life of devices, you can see why most of the roster are old/end of life devices
it's very snappy, doesn't come with gapps so you can have no google shit or install microg instead
overall extremely boring and wouldn't recommend since a lot of banking apps detect lineage only

graphene lets you lock bootloader and has sandboxed google play store if you even want to install that
good for schizos, for most normal people stock rom is the best

I'm not sure why, but GSMArena shows it's battery life as being quite shit compared to the regular 16. https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test-v2.php3

That said, youtube videos comparing them put them at a 5% difference at most. But this is probably after some battery wear on the regular 16 since it's half a year older.

Not sure what answer you're expecting, your phone's battery life entirely depends on how you use it. You can get 10 days worth of battery on almost any phone if you just use it for calls and messaging apps. As soon as you start watching videos, using the camera or web browsing on a daily basis, you're reducing that to only 1-3 days no matter the phone you use (unless you use one of those rugged bricks with 20Ah batteries).

Yeah if the phone allows it as many chinese phones at least in the past didnt have usbc port capable of outputing video. Just check online if it supports it and if it does then yes that would work perfectly

So what's the verdict on camera flagships?
>Hasselblad x OnePlus
>ZEISS x vivo
>Leica x Xiaomi
>Ricoh x Realme
Do any of them actually offer a significantly improved phone camera experience to the point of removing another fraction of the need for stand alone large sensor cameras, or is it just another marketing gimmick, new table stakes for the high end flagships?

>>107492254
None of those are good and are all memes. Only the iPhone is used by professionals like Hollywood.

I own an edge 40 pro with curved screen, as beautiful as it is finding a tempered glass is impossible, I'm getting tired of the hydrogel pealing off, creating bubbles out of nowhere and all the timeand all the cases mess with the gel's edges as well. How safe is it to use a phone without any kind of screen protection in general? I'd love to feel glass when using my phone too, but the thought of not using any protection makes me worried.

>>107492254
No, not really. You pretty much get some special software features and that's about it, and if there is some new camera hardware customized by any of the 4 camera companies it's not a noticeable improvement over whatever was being used off the shelf before. Zeiss x vivo is arguably the best but you still get vivo's AI processing and the Zeiss Natural color profile isn't really as natural as it was on older vivo phones (t. X90 Pro+ owner). Hasselblad x OnePlus was always barebones and useless (t. OnePlus 13 owner). Hasselblad x Oppo is/was more fleshed out. Leica x Xiaomi is also barebones and useless and Ricoh x Realme is more or less the same.

Just get whatever has the biggest sensors.

I refuse to believe that. I had many Xiaomi phones and all of them never had any quality issues. Only my redmi note 5 died after 5 years when my mom decided to drop it in the toilet shortly after I gave it to her because her iPhone shit the bed. It was cracked after my sister dropped it so maybe it would have survived if it wasn’t full of cracks.

I don't. 8.5 is a step in the right direction, but 8 was many steps back, and so was 7. They ruined it all. 3 was god-tier, and 6.1 was great, but that's about it. The built-in phone application is garboleum though, and Samsung Messages is pretty much on life support. One UI 8 is the reason why I switched away from Samsung, but I do keep the S25U as a secondary device.

I tried using the Samsung messages app but it has very basic rcs support. I use the Google app too. One thing that annoys me is that you can't make categories for your chats like Samsung does. Also you can't copy paste a specific word you want to. It selects the entire message

>>107494857
You can select words, but only on pen enabled devices.

>>107494814
What'd you switch to? Went from a Pixel 6 Pro to an S23U a couple years ago and really enjoyed some of the added customization with OneUI, but PixelUI felt and to this day still feels way faster than OneUI does. I don't know why this is something Samsung struggles to get right. 7 was supposed to feel way smoother than 6.1.1 but I personally didn't see much of an improvement. Even chink phones feel more responsive than Samsung flagships.

All those brand collabs are pointless now that you can chose your own color styles on most phones.
I'm not sure about other brands, but you can completely turn off post-processing on Samsung if you hate that 'AI look' and force your phone to use a specific camera (0.5x,1x, 5x, etc) and not let it auto-switch.

>>107497567
Anon Samsung and Apple lead markets globally. Not just in North America, but also Asia and Europe. Samsung is also most popular in South America.

flagship killers eventually turn into flagships proper because everyone's greedy, 1+ as a company is a good example. 1+ one had basically the same specs as galaxy s5 but cost ~300$ less, that price difference has been gone for a long time now

>>107497638

I don't need your jewish hasselbland colors on my camera. I don't take pictures like a woman anyway. I need raw power, control, sex and ai. I'll be running the latest models in my pocket and installing all the games you wish you could play on your shitty phone (I don't play games like a child.) Have fun with your pathetic samsung-iphone wars, unlike you faggots I'm future proofed with the oneplus 15.

My Oneplus 15 just arrived, holy fuck it's so much better than my old iPhone 16 Pro, it's not even funny.

Thinking of getting either a Pixel 9a or OnePlus 13R.

>Fold 8
the 7's thermal design is worse than the 6, it's too thin so you need a case anyway, the hinge offers very little resistance when you try to open it, has no udc and has no s pen support (regular styli will just ruin your screen)
if the 8 will be anything like the 7 then no, just get a 6 for cheap

The A19 Pro beat the latest snapdragon flagship SOC and it beat the latest mediatek flagship SOC.

The 17 is awesome. Good build quality and hardware. But why should I buy a 17 Pro (Max) when I have a 14 Pro, 15 Pro or 16 Pro with better build quality?

Stop talking on behalf of everyone here on /g. Who made you in charge? You're just bitter and hate iPhone because your very old iPhone stopped working. You're the ONLY one who complains. Stop lying and making up excuses. Plenty of people enjoy iPhones that post in spg and your made up stories won't change that.
