Oldfag here
Dumbass woman broke the back off he samsung fold 3 and shit got water damaged, it boots to the logo over and over at best, sometimes pulls up a blue screen with some Chinese saying Downloading, does nothing. Crying about how there's files and shit that needs to be recovered, but I want this shit traded in under the warranty I pay for. Any luck on ways to fix this shit?

This thing survived at least 10 drops without a case. I thought you said foldables are just not reliable.

Guess I'm gonna be pushing my Xperia 1 III 2 more years at least.

I'm quite satisfied with my red magic 11. I bought the official tempered glass as well. Problem is, even after cleaning the screen, I managed to miss 1 dust exactly in the middle of my screen. My autism couldn't ignore it so I tried redoing it and it made it much worse. There are no air bubbles, but if light shines on the screen, you'll see a bunch of glowing dust particles. Now, I absolutely refuse to buy the official one again. It's 25€ for shipping. So instead I bought a 1€ three-pack glass screen protector from aliexpress. Now, do I try to clean my dirty expensive screen protector or just use the cheap one??

For some reason, Samsung's cameras always do well in reviews but they fall apart in real world scenarios. I went from a P6P to an S23U and Pixel's camera absolutely ran laps around Samsung's but battery life on OG Tensor was fucking dogshit. G5 isn't much better in this regard it seems. Might as well get a chink phone if you need cameras better than Samsung's but no shit chipset

Recently decided to try apple. Get a nice iPhone SE about a year ago (first iPhone) huh Bluetooth is a fucking mess, oh well..

Example, every Bluetooth with a microphone acts as a hands free device.. so they automatically use it as a phone, it gets worse though.. on phone calls you choose which device you want to use, and as soon as the phone call starts it reverts back to whatever it wanted to at first so you have to click the device you want again, and mid calls it often switches back to the device. Now I’m on a 13 mini and updated to iOS 26, and saw this setting here thinking it’d fix it. Fucking no it didn’t, why would it? Also Liquid Glass looks like a 2.99 android theme what the fuck!??

Android has a simple solution for this.with options to use the Bluetooth device for calls or audio or both.. and doesn’t switch devices on you while on calls

Most flagships can run that game without overheating as well. Literally pointless getting a phone that can only do gaming well when all the rest is gonna be shit.

>>107546152
No you will need to go to your carrier website on another device every time to get a qr code unless your phone supports esim tranfer

>>107546168
so why the fuck do we have fucking esims then, this sucks

>>107546175
Because it frees up space for more battery capacity (when physicsl sim slots gets removed). And in case someone steals your phone or your lose it you don't need to wait for a new sim card in the mail to get your number back. You can just go get a new e sim from anywhere

Can't you just download the maps you need and use the phone offline? Gps should work without internet

>>107546161
But the rest isn't shit my nig that's the point

>>107546293
It is for the price you pay

>>107546307
But it isn't, flagships are minimum 1000$, you can get the rm11 for 700$ with the only compromise being the selfie camera

I got an s25 ultra yesterday brand new for 650€. I don't see your point

Does Google still plans to kill "side loading" ?

>>107546451
I just love how everyone believes anything blindly on the internet these days. If its on a news website then it must be true!

>>107546380
My point is that the s25 ultra goes for 1000$ and doesn't outperform a much cheaper gaming phone except cameras

>>107546662
Except cameras, Except software, expect features, expect update support, expect repairability, except water resistance, except build quality...

Hello frens
I haven't followed phones in years, current is a pixel 6 pro running lineage.
For around ~500, what's the newest iphone i can get for my boomer mom? I got my first promotion this year and I want to get her something, she hasn't changed phones since 2019 I think, also an iPhone.
Checking ebay it looks like the 14 pro max is the most bang per buck right now? Around 500 for an open box one.
Second question, what's up with the cheap pixel folds? They are around $350 on ebay used right now. Thats cheaper than a lot of tablets.
Any good or are foldables still shit?
Finally, is this ai hoarding memory thing real?
Should I fomo buy a used pixel 9 pro xl?
I was planning to wait a year since my pixel 6 xl is still ok other than battery life which has understandably gotten shorter.
Have a qt hag using a phone as thanks.

>>107546817

Keep the 12 as your apple device and buy the smallest sized new pixel phone possible to install graphene os. Always carry the pixel as the main phone and use the iPhone as a secondary normie device. If you're in that much of need of a normie device buy a base 16/17 and use that as the secondary in the future.

Hi guys, I need to buy a phone for my grandma. She's been using some dumb phone for over a decade but she's starting to have issues with it. Are the cheapest android phones usable for someone like her? Are they complicated for someone that's completely tech illiterate? At most she will be using it for whatsapp after I set it up. Alternatively I could get her another dumb phone, how should I choose one of those?

I'm new to screen protectors (rawdogged all my phones before, no protector and no case).
Which ones are the best? I also read that some cases are incompatible with screen protectors, how do I make sure they are?

>>107548433
why do you want to use a screen protector?

>>107546894
I used a redmi for 6 years. It didn't even have hyper os. Yeah it was laggy towards the end of its life but it did everything I wanted. Custom roms are a thing of the past (unless you're a glowie or a hardened criminal who uses graphene is)

>>107549079
To stop my screen from getting scratched.

>>107549134
And rightfully so. Phone screens scratch easier than screen protectors do because they need to be soft to minimize risk of cracks. I don't even care for the anti reflective thing in my s25 ultras. Display. I rather have a screen protector on and keep it looking mint

if you want to save up, it's better to buy sooner than later. once the currently allocated memory stockpiles run out (including the ones that were already contracted and reserved by the manufacturers), prices will start to go up. but i dunno how quick this will happen. maybe in a month, maybe anywhere else within a year.

Does anyone here have the pixel 10 pro fold?
I'm going to be a home inspector soon, and my options are getting a tablet, or getting the 10 pro fold. I need a big enough screen and a good camera and lots of space, and the 10 fold basically has all of that. I need the screen to be large to navigate the app I use for the inspection more efficiently and switching between tabs in the software and quickly taking pictures and filling out the report as I go. A tablet is a little unwieldy unless I had a nice strap to have it across my body to like quick pull it out like it's some video game.
Overall how are they? Is folding and unfolding the phone super quick and seamless or is it a process / takes a few second to like "connect" the two screens into one. This will sound stupid but can you even use a case for one of those?? Id have to pay a bit more than normal since my pixel 7 doesn't have an upgrade for the fold (and instead has a cheap upgrade to the regular 10 pro.) I mean like in theory I could leave the phone the full size and put it in my tool belt instead of having to fold and unfold constantly in and out of the pocket. How easy are they to break? I don't want to apply pressure to the screen or phone into an edge as I lean over something and break it. Thank you in advance to any answers.
Tl;Dr is pixel 10 pro fold based

So I have my Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra and I don't like it.
I will wait next months for new releases, but gosh, I don't see anything remotely good on horizon.

1. I need flat screen. I don't like this waterfall things
2. I guess I need more RAM but I think phones next year would be RAM shortened
3. 45W is fuckin slow charging!
4. Stylis is good
5 I need good camera

I guess I have no options except s26u? Even if we throw away stylus.

Any hope of Apple bringing back the mini lineup?

not sure what and where you heard. The OnePlus 15 is usually on top of the charts when it comes to battery life and performance. The camera are pretty shit for the price though. Well that sums up your options same phone: same phone, iphone, graphene or oneplus15. do what you want with that.

I don't know what's actually correct and it has been impossible to truly get a definite answer, but in my country apparently the telecommunications ministry legally mandates that all phones should be able to call 911 via 4G and apparently mi9 doesn't have support for that so they're forced to deactivate it or something, I already enabled VOLTE, so I bought a new phone in case mine suddenly stops working.
