Are phones gonna be affected by the RAM shortages massively?I don't think I can upgrade this year but I don't want to be fucked if I wait until next year
>>107920570They aren't yet because their supply chains take longer to work through compared to DRAM/SSDs and GPUs.The RAMlocolypse will likely keep phones on 8-12GB of RAM for the next 3+ years instead of moving up to 16-20GB.
The baker used a flame war instigating image again as usual to spread misinformation and to try and make Apple look bad. It never works though since the OP is uneducated and never had more than 2 flagships from different companies.Google ai (Left), Samsung ai (middle) and Apple ai (Right).
>>107920527This is probably not a failure. Washington probably told them to consolidate to one AI to prevent in in-competition in the USA and to maximize resource/development of AI
Ooo it's cumming
>>107920669Doubtful considering they're not the only two AIs lobbying in Washington.
>>107920527Open Ai is literally bankrupt you have no idea what you're talking about. OP is literally a misinformation poster that hates Apple and ruins the threads all the time posting iPhone images as the threadain image to start arguments and flamewars. Crazy how this OP has been doing this for months. 100% a insider.
>>107920751>Open Ai is literally bankrupt you have no idea what you're talking aboutAre you the same faggot coping in the /pcbg/ pretending OpenAI won't just get more investor funding to keep going another year or two at least?
>>107920625Why are the icons for this shit always windmill/flower shit?
Am I fucking nuts or is Thunderbird straight up not working? Shit takes ages, like an entire minute or so, to actually refresh, WITH NO NEW EMAILS! Only my secondary account works fine (still slow as shit, 10-15 secs but whatever)Wtf...
>>107920753No schizo not everyone is the same person because you disagree with them. apple knows open ai is gonna flop. Apple had chatgpt integration with Siri. They went with Gemini because $1 billion a year is pennies compared to the cost for them to match the infrastructure and software. Also they don't want chatgpt integration with a company that might end up shutting down
>>107920774If OpenAI fails the entire world economy will collapse for a few years. So I'm betting that the larger market won't let that happen and will prop OpenAI up for at least a year or two.
OnePlus won!!
>>107920690one AI platform datamining america is more manageable than two
>>107920784>world economyJust america and their fake economy lol
>>107920625>Google ai (Left), Samsung ai (middle) and Google ai (Right).fixed for reality you coping jeet
>>107920784That's not true at all and openai is not being used by anyone like that lol. ChatGPT was done when Deepseek was built for less than what OpenAi spent. Also OpenAi is losing over $200 million in operating costs without making profit. It's gonna go belly up and cause a Ai bubble to burst.>>107920856Wrong you liar and lmao I'm not indian hahaha that's you!

My oneplus 13 got fucking destroyed recently, my uncle gave me his iphone 16 pro max and I hate it, what should I buy?Also oneplus is closing it's doors
are fold / flip phones a meme?
>>107920820No sadly it did not. It placed last outta the android flagship benchmark testing. As a OnePlus 15 owner I can confirm the OnePlus 13 is better.
>>107920820>>107922243Oneplus is being dismantled by oppo
>>107922339That sucks because the OnePlus 15 was my first phone by them and its not that bad. I guess the Android market is way too flooded for every brands flagship to sustain enough sales so the corpos keep making more and more.
>>107922375https://www.androidheadlines.com/exclusive-oneplus-collapseI agree, my oneplus 13 was great before it got destroyed

So should I cough up the money to get the OP15 now before they are officially gone? I also saw the OP Open for cheap online. I just was hoping they did a clamshell phone.
OnePlus lost!!
>>107922751With a bit more money you can get a CN rom Oppo Find X9 Pro, you can remove anything related to China and you won't see any Chinese unless you dig into it in the settings
>>107922823Ew no thank you.

>>107922823Yeah but I'm in the US and on Mint Mobile. No guarantee it'll work with that

What is with this "AI" obsession 3rd worlders seem to have? The less of this garbage on a phone, the better.

If nothing else, at least iPhone Pro Maxes have crazy good battery life. I haven't seen 10+ hours on a single charge since the Redmi Note 8 Pro days.Our phone usage has massively increased since the late 2010's, and yet new features like high refreshrate, high brightness, high resolution screens have seemingly negated or even overpowered any improvements in battery tech.My previous two phones, the Moto Edge 20 and Galaxy S23, couldn't even come close to the Note 8 Pro at it's peak performance in late-2019 and early-2020. The iPhone 16 Pro Max feels like I've finally returned home to my ol' Redmi.Typing on iOS still kinda sucks though. Honestly most other issues are overblown.>adblockingControl D with hagezi pro+ preset>youtube & musicbrave browser>redditApollo patched with an API key>4chanChance (when it gets fixed for the new captchas) or Safari + 4chanx userscript>manual file managementnot something I do frequently>Anime piracyVLC has a built-in FTP server with web GUI, and it works amazingly and I love it>TorrentingiTorrent but I haven't had the chance to test it yet as I ran out of slots for sideloading>Linux shellto be tested, but iSH looks promising>Manga ReaderTachimanga is LITERALLY a Tachiyomi/Mihon clone and supports importing your old library and sources from a single file, magical.
>>107927821 (me)Also typing got slightly better once I realized you can hold the period to get easy (yet unintuitive) access to the comma and question mark, among others.It still fucking sucks compared to just holding a letter though...Also, raise to wake is way too sensitive, and the notification menu is way too hard to pull down - you have to be REALLY deliberate with your downwards motion in either length or speed. You can't just casually flick it down, you need to either reaaaaallly pull it allll the way down, or flick it down REALLY fast.At the very least the cashier at the local grocery store, a girl roughly my age maybe a bit younger, told me "oh once you've switched to iPhone you can't go back to Android trust me it's so much better" after she saw me struggling to remember if I need to hold or double tap the power button to open Apple Pay.

do you think oppo will just close down oneplus then rebrand all those oneplus models as lesser oppo models?
>>107928010I doubt it. They use OnePlus as a brand to sell in Europe and NA. There are no Oppo phones available in my country, but a decent selection of OnePlussies.
>>107928010more likely they're going to trash the OPPO brand and rebrand the company to OnePlus as that's the far more well regarded brand globallythese niggers were fucking retarded to makes 382468 brands in the first place it's about fucking time they focused on making one solid product line instead of 2757 shit product lines and forcing people waste a ton of time researching shit to find a good model
>>107928097phones in general are a million different glass squares and they're all shit
"Dynamic Island" isn't even particularly noticeable compared to a regular holepunch. Both just disappear if you use dark mode and the app uses AMOLED black.Thankfully it's also short enough that it doesn't interfere with 16:9 content.
Poco F7fag reporting in again. After unlocking I installed crdroid. I know the last thread I said I had a problem with having to sideload a keyboard but that was actually my fault. Flashed two gapps versions, I thought the second was an addon, I guess not kek. I reflashed from scratch and everything is fine now. All the hardware works and stability wise I haven't gotten it to crash so far. Anything you want me to test?I will say the experience is significantly better than the pixel 9 pro xl that I used before this, likely because the soc in the f7 is somehow like twice as fast as the tenshit mediakek in the pixels. I can finally mess around with winulator too. Absolutely worth the ball ache of unlocking the bootloader. Hardware wise the only thing that's missing is 90w charging I think.
How do you guys do big file transfers on/off android. I'm talking a 50+ gig folder with thousands of items. MTP sucks and always fails midway, syncthing works but is really fucking slow for whatever reason, it will sync in short bursts and it takes forever. Adb needs a computer so its not an option for device to device transfers
>>107928369why winlator over gamenative, you using it for programs instead of games?
>>107928405>Adb needs a computerit doesnt, see LADB. but anyway what do you mean by "device to device transfers"?
>>107928405>plug in my 256GB external SSD>put files on SSD>plug SSD into another device>copy the files onto the devicenot elegant but it works and is reliable as long as the type-C ports of both phones are sturdy and not loose or brokenI do this even for phone-to-PC transfers as sometimes using a cable is not convenient and FTP on my home network is much slower than USB 3.0 speeds (5Gbit), even considering a transfer both ways (2.5Gbit effective).
>>107928369why f7 over f7 pro?
Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Poco F3 as secondary phone to use for Termux, Winlator (not games), Pydroid and shit like that? 75 euro vs 90 euro respectively. Will likely flash LineageOS after waiting out the 2000 hours lock.
>>107928410cause I'm a filthy pirate kekOn my retroon pocket 5 I use gamehub-lite for games since it has driver downloads and whatnot built in, and winlator for programs. Can't for the life of me get eng patched toohoo 6 running on either, and its slow as shit unpatched. Maybe I'll have better luck here. >>107928420Isn't ladb more for running commands locally? I mean moving files directly from one android device to the other. >>107928452Wouldn't I have to dedicate a drive to this? Android doesn't recognize btrfs or ext4. Now if only there was a small little flash storage format that you could just swap between phones...nahh >>107928500Need the 512gb models and don't really care about the cameras or the 8 elite enough to pay up an extra ~$170 for the pro. Also the F7 has more custom rom support Sorry for the multiple replies but I can't deal with this humiliation ritual captcha anymore :(
>>107928564>Wouldn't I have to dedicate a drive to this?My SSD came formatted out of the box as exFAT and it just werks on Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. It's a SiliconPower DS72 250GB.
>>107928571I mean I only have 1 spare drive currently and I'm not paying current prices. Maybe I'll just use an SD card in an adaptor which is the same idea just slower. But then you can't encrypt the drive with exfat+android, only the files which pisses me off
>>107928564>Need the 512gb models and don't really care about the cameras or the 8 elite enough to pay up an extra ~$170 for the pro.makes sense. Wouldn't the 7 pro be better for emulation though?>more custom rom supportcould you elaborate on that?
>>107920527What do you guys think about Redmagic 11 pro? Thought about getting it but the gold one is overpriced as hell
>>107928762It's an awesome device. Probably the best on the market right now. Also, Mora a qt~
>>107928800Are you being paid by Redmagic to post this
>>107928594>not paying current pricesthe DS72 is literally 35-40 euros idk what you're talking aboutthis isn't some high end internal Gen 5 SSD it's just a beefed up flash drive
>despite the Poco x7 shill here I got the F7 instead for 250 yurosFeels good bros. The aluminum is fucking disgusting with the fingerprints though it's a shame
>>107928980if im buying storage i dont cheap out on qlc or dramless trash. thats just a waste of money imo. Syncthing works for now, its just fucking slow. >>107928684Standard f7 has a bigger screen and battery. The real world difference in performance was not enough to justify spending $600 vs $400. (Sale prices)F7 already has official crdroid support, and I expect lineage soon as well. Also cheaper = more popular with pajeets = higher % of autists willing to go through xiaomis retarded bootloader unlocking prices. White goiym are sadly completely cucked now so its up to jeets, slavs and slantys to develop real useful phone software.
>>107928564What's the difference between Lineage and cr? Can you still use banking apps on there or are they gay about it like when you root your phone?
>>107925817Bumpf
>>107929047GotchaI'm kinda on the fence about it, F7 and Pro cost the same in my country so I was leaning towards the Pro, but maybe I should reconsider
>16632 hours until bootloader is unlocked.
>>107921302Another successful iPhone launch.
>>107928544I still have my note 10 but I don't know why my mobile data is so shit with it
>>107928762The gold one is overpriced, just get a regular one. Headphone jack and UD camera are comfy, camera quality is meh at best, the actual overall user experience is nice. It's a reasonably priced phone with a flagship chip and a big battery that won't overheat, and unless you need a good camera instead of merely serviceable, it's a great phone. I will again emphasize you should not buy redmagic for the camera
>>107928762its really cool, personally doubting between getting a chinkphone+steam deck or the redmagic+controller, as thats similarly priced
>>107924512fucking americans
>>107930630Wrong as usual thirdie! >>107924769
>>107920678Damn, that's a good price for the best android tablet on the market.What's your use case for something that large?
>>107920678man 800 dollars and only 256gbthe storage situation is roughhope you enjoy it anon
>>107920678Ew.
>>107931110It's more comparable to the ipad Pro 13", not the 11", which is $1300 for the 256GB version.I paid $810 instead of $1300. Also the ipad pro has a 4:3 (2752 x 2064) aspect ratio which is fine for documents and web browsing, but will have black bars for 16:9 movies/TV/YouTube/etc. The S11 Ultra has a 16:10 (2960 x 1848) aspect ratio which is much more suited for 16:9 video content and will have minimal black bars in comparison.>>107931019It has microSD slot, and I have multiple T7 SSDs I can plug into it if I need.I also have 60TB of NAS storage and multi-gigabit wifi at my house, so it really shouldn't be an issue to stream things from my NAS locally.>>107930890Use case will be watching youtube/movies/tv/anime/porn in bed, and also reading.
>>107931315>I paid $810 instead of $1300. Also the ipad pro has a 4:3 (2752 x 2064) aspect ratio which is fine for documents and web browsing, but will have black bars for 16:9 movies/TV/YouTube/etc. The S11 Ultra has a 16:10 (2960 x 1848) aspect ratio which is much more suited for 16:9 video content and will have minimal black bars in comparison.This is honesty the biggest difference.For movies, the Samsung tablet, despite "only" being a 1.6" larger screen, has a 25-30% larger image due to the proper aspect ratio. Just raw size dimensions, the ipad Pro 13 is 7.8" tall and 10.4" wide. The Tab S11 Ultra is 7.7" tall and 12.4" wide. The only reason to get the ipad pro would be because you're already deep within the apple ecosystem, or you spend 90% of your time reading through PDFs or webpages.
>>107931433Yeah that's what I had seen as well, and I already own the S24 Ultra, so sticking with Samsung seemed like the sane choice for me.In any case, it should be here tomorrow.
Are iPhones actually more secure than android?
Are the galaxy tab a series worth it? I just want a tablet for youtube/Manga. Is it 4g ram enough for a tablet?

>>107933618My guy it's for web browsing, porn, movies and shit. Do you really think the Dimensity 9400+ is going to be a bad SoC for that use? And the sheer size of a 14.6" tablet means it has tons of room to dissipate any heat.
>>107934110tablets are for winlator and high end switch emulation chudbeitanything less than SD 8 Gen 2 is worthless on oneI don't care if the Dimensity 9400+ is more powerful it doesn't have the proper drivers
>>107934152I mean, I personally don't really care, but from what i've heard there have been major efforts getting emulation working better on the Dimensity SoCs and more specifically, the Mali GPU with GameHub and Winlator 10.x+, Uzuy, etc.
>>107933890right, snapdragon 7 + 8gb ram and IPS screen is ew compared to mediakek dimensity 7300 + 6b ram and TFT LCD.stay retarded
let me guess u need moar
>>107935334I might've agreed if you had posted this instead
>>107935396cant run my old MCPE vidya gaems due to a lack of 32 bit support but i do wonder, why is it taking so long for midrange SOCs to adopt ARMV9? they've been using the A78 for years now
>>107935416Just like you'd suspect, it's money.ARMv9 has higher licensing costs, those royalties add up when you're making thousands of units, and on a midrange SoC for $200-300 devices, there just isn't as much margin to cover the increased costs when A78 DOES still perform quite well, and as you noted has legacy 32 bit support. Because of this unless a new SoC is released with some sort of 32-bit legacy support baked in and costs a similar amount to license, or is significantly cheaper/more efficient compared to A78, we'll likely continue to see A78 used for years to come.
>>107921065Have Unihertz committed to an extended (and frequent) update schedule yet for the T2E?It's really the only reason why I haven't 100% decided on the T2E vs Communicator
>>107920527Which Samsung phones do you think will be able to keep up with 6-7 years of Android updates, hardware wise? I reckon the A56 will, what about the A36? FE phones?
>buy redmagic 11 pro 24gb>expect a nice clear case like I've seen in some photos>get some pathetic hard plastic piece of shit that looks like it's been 3d printed instead>fuck it, I regret not buying the premium case for it anyway, I'll go check their site and buy it>go to the "premium" case's store page>it's the exact shitty rigid case they sent meWhat the fuck is wrong with them? Now I'm glad I didn't wait to buy their special super premium whale edition bundle, the case for that is probably made out of yellow clingfilm if this is their idea of premium.
How much can I mod a phone? For example I had a Red Magic 7 but I didn't like the OS, can I install another into the phone? Or how much can I mod a phone till I get into the bricking territory?
>>107928762Dunno about bigger generations but I had 9S and it was fine, to this date I debate whether to get the newest one and use it as my everyday phone but I genuinely don't like the Software, I dunno... Its not my cup of tea
>>107922223What's the appeal of these chink gaming phones you guys keep posting about? The specs look impressive but does anyone here seriously play any mobile game that demands that much hardware?
Not a gayming thread but is Winlator really even worth it? Currently got it working on my OP 13 aside from it not launching Dirt Rally 2.0 at all when I open the .exe no matter what I do. Apparently GameHub's supposed to just werk but it asks for a shitload of unnecessary permissions.
>>107936504Couldn't tell you, i've never really wanted to play windows games on my phone.
Iqoo 15 Ultra
>>107936844I feel like we've long reached the point where most people just don't care for the highest tier performance anymore. it's good to see the boundaries being pushed and new innovative cooling methods, but I can't personally see myself caring about more performance on a phone unless something drastically changes in the software that requires a lot more horsepower.I can somewhat understand that stuff for tablets, where you might conceivably need high performance more often and for extended periods of time.
I might be one of the only people on earth who got to buy the accessories for the cmf phone 2 pro magsafe is nice though, the lenses are pretty bad
>>107936504try gamenative and gamehub-lite first, those are very easy to use
>>107936863As long as chinese companeis keep pushing mobile game graphics' boundaries, more performance is always better. Ever since 2020-ish we've been at a point where game graphics caught up to phones' performance limits.No mainstream non-gamer phone can run Genshin or ZZZ at max settings 120FPS and maintain that performance for more than 20 minutes. I don't play them, but I assume the same is true for WuWa and Endfield, and will be true for NTE, Azur Promilla, Ananta, etc. etc. etc.Sure, all of these games are best played on PC, but the target audience is gacha gamers who have historically preferred playing on their phone in short 10-20 minute bursts on the toilet, on their train to work, on their lunch break, in bed before sleep, etc., because said target audience are generally east asian middle aged office workers who have <1h of free time per day, and it's mostly during commutes and lunch/smoke breaks.Anyways my point is bigger performance is betterer, always. If not then flagships would have at least 10% lower sales than they do now, because the minority of mobile games that play the highest end games would just buy whatever is cheaper and can still run it maxxed out.
>>107929225Crdroid is lineage with more customization. Banking apps will always be faggots if your bootloader is unlocked. Actually root is the solution because you can pretty easily spoof play integrity etc with just a few modules. Even my google wallet and tap to pay works with my rooted P7pro on lineage. Modules are PIF, zygisk next, shamiko and tricky store.
>>107933102There is no such thing as (((security))). If I put a gun to your head or knife to your throat you will unlock your phone for me like a good little faggot.
>>107937477>tricky storewhat does that actually do? I only have the other 3 and banking works fine
>>107937477>>107937630actually I only have PIF and the magisk built-in zygisk+denylist
>>107937630Sets the keybox or whatever that play integrity checks for.
Reminder that the pooco m7 pro is quite possible the last based phone with 512GB UFS AND a microsd slot AND a headphone jack
>>107937974would've been the perfect 200 euro phone if it also had a Snapdragon chip and official support for LineageOS
>>107938451You will use the mediakek and be happy goy. I don't think qualcomm is necessarily needed for official lineage support, the exynos notes and pixels are supported after all. You just need a mix of cheap or easily accessible phone, unlocked/unlockable bootloader and enough pajeets or slavs using it. That's why a lot of the very recent Motorola's, despite being good and cheap, don't have any custom rom support. They're locked down to shit. Of all the current mediakeks I would say the pooco X7 pro, M7 pro and the dimensity nothing phone are the most likely to get either official lineage or stable unofficial ports.
HOLY KINO
Everyday I thank Jesus I never have to buy a used smartphone or a Poco.
>>107938610You have some serious self-consciousness and image issues if buying used or owning a cheap phone terrifies you so much. It shows that you don't like your phone for the high end specs, good software, long term support, etc. but rather for how other people will perceive you if they see you using it out on the street, at work, at school, whatever.Used phones allow you to get last year's flagship for at LEAST 25% off, if not half price.Poco phones are incredibly robust because they're so simple. My mother is only now gonna get her Poco M3, that she's had since mid-2021, replaced by my old phone because I just upgraded. The Poco is fully functional, and the battery lasts multiple days for my mother, but it's just slow with modern bloatware apps and only 4GB RAM and an old budget processor.

>>107938840I'm not reading something that long about Poco or used phones.

be straight with me anons as someone who cares most about speed, display and battery, is there any reason to not buy oneplus?i have read and watched plenty of reviews and comparisons and in the end i narrowed my choice to op 15 and s25 ultra and im leaning more towards op15 because of battery and slightly better ergonomicsi've read the artice posted in the thread and now i have doubts. if op15 is not a smart option anymore the obvious alternative would be oppo find x9 pro. to be honest i watched the comparsions and aside from telephoto camera which is better (and i dont really care about) everything else is the same or worsekeep in mind that im rocking 8 year old android 10 phone that hasnt recieved security update since june 2022. and only reason why im changing it is google chrome became slow and battery is trash
>>107943067if you care most about performance, display and battery then just get the OP15? the slightly downgraded cameras shouldn't matter to you it sounds like
>>107920678It has arrived
>>107943118Registered, just getting things transferred and getting it set up now.Screen is big.
>>107920678>>107943118>>107943274>flagship ultra tablet>eleventy bajillion dollars>nipple notch like it's 2019I'd fucking kill myself
>>107943375To be fair, $810 is a pretty good price for the size/specs, but if I wasn't already used to the cut-out hole on my S24 Ultra I would also be upset, but with how large the screen is it's not looking like it'll be an issue 95% of the time.
>>107943399a punchhole in the corner would be much better IMObut now that I think about it, 16:9 content has top and bottom black borders, so the nipple is hidden anywaysnot as bad as I thought!
>>107943405Yup, thankfully they were smart enough to go with 16:10 to accommodate it.
Is there a FOSS app like stride that doesn't have all the spyware?

Getting a Samsung S25 tomorrow for 90€ + 20 monthly with a contract, no other costs. Cheapest I could find from reputable stores. First new phone in a decade for me, so I am not quite sure. I first wanted to get the Xperia 10 vii, but availability is awful where I live and the other option for me would have been the cheaper A56 5G which is too large and barely cheaper than the S25 for me.
>>107942207
>>107937974Every day I feel joy over the X6 (non pro) I boughtI'm glad it exists on this bitch of an earth we live in512gb, jack, decent enough chip, good priceIt's a shame it doesn't have the SD slot, it was nearly perfectThough if it didn't exist, I would have gone for the based M7 insteadFuck, I'm so upset that Poco is also going for the jackless SDcardless meme.

>>107944483enjoy it bwo base model Galaxies are nothing special in terms of cameras and or battery life, but I can assure you the form factor is excellent and the performance is solid enough that even after 3 years the phone feels snappy to use for your normal everyday social media or lighter gamesevery single person I know that owns a base model Galaxy, be it S22, S23, S24 or S25, complains at least a little about battery life, though... S25 is the least bad of the bunch however

previous leon >>107909917since samcuck has the gall to release the same phone every year, i.e. same SoC with OS version bump, i can game their faggotry by buying the model that was the first to come with an SoC, now at heavily discounted prices now that it has been in the market for some time, unlock bootloader, and flash stock ROM of newer models with the same SoC once the OS upgrade support has run out for th previous.i'm talking about A06 5G (A15 at release, 4 OS upgrades promised) and A07 5G (A16 at release, 6 OS upgrades promised). easy 3 OS version extensions with minimal compatibility issues for free.and this doesn't even take into account the very real possibility of further models also being released with Dimenshitty 6300.
HOLY SHIT
Any downsides to upgrading to hyperjeet os 3?
>>107942241thank you. Do you have a guide for that? What's a good rom to flash?
>>107946531I would only recommend lineageOS and crdroid. Others are just too jeeted to rely on. Which pooco?
>>107946584f7
>>107946600There's an official crdroid and it works well. When you're following the wiki for it just remember you need to flash all the boot vendor_boot etc not just the 2 they have listed. To unlock the bootloader your account has to be at least a month old iirc, get (((permission))) from chinkmi, and you need to be signed in while you're doing it with a sim card when you're attempting to unlock. Just use the mitools set of scripts. People say to time it but i just left it running. Even if it gives you an error try to unlock anyway, apparently nigmi does this on purpose. After that you'll have to wait 72 hours and I think you get 14 days to unlock, not sure if you get a second attempt. Once its unlocked you never have to deal with this bullshit again.
>>107946600Oh I just kept the phone off for the 72 hours btw and put my in my sim card before I turned it on to unlock. Just make a nigmi account now while its being shipped.

>>107947215>import the oneplus 13s from indiaNO THANKS. :(
>>107946250I don't understand. Android 20 does not equal 5 years of updates unless it gets released on Android 15. Either way, first to market will dominate sales. In the end we'll probably find out that the Elite and the Communicator are the same phone just in different cases.
>>107947230its their best phone though. actually 13T but that one has the chink OS
>>107947189I feel like I'm too retarded for this stuff
>>107947915you cant download and run a python script?
>>107945371But its still very cool and definitely more interesting that any slab phone
>>107947945I don't even know what that is
y'know what? big phones good actuallyliterally effortless full day battery life even though I was scrolling the racist bird app all day like a retard instead of focusing on my job
>>107946721How though? You can't even unlock the bootloader. If I knew this was possible, I wouldn't have wasted my monies on a stupid goolag pixel.
>>107948243I can agree there, just not something i'm willing to purchase at the moment, at least not yet.
Brehs, please help me with opsec. I have a pixel 9 which is my primary phone, it has a sim installed. I use lineage os without gapps on it. This has almost no propreitary apps. I want this to be as clean as possible. Now, for my secondary phone, it's a poorco f1, it has lineage os with microg and gmaps. The second phone has no sim, it will use hotspot from my primary phone while traveling. Is there a better way to do this? Any ideas tfellow schizomaxxers?
>>107946975>my family member gave me an iphone 16 pro maxGo give them a hug anon. They clearly love you a lot. Are you a child or a student? Just curious.
Hmm.. should i stay on Android with a One Plus 15 or should i swap to ios and get a IPhone 17 Max?
>>107949015If you are not using degoggled lineage os, I don't think its worth staying on Android.
>>107949015Both are good phones. Choose whichever you likeThough the iPhone has better camera
>>107936101I have the A26 which gets 6 years of updates. I plan to run this thing for the whole of that 6 years, unless it breaks. Hopefully the phone will still be usable in the 6th year. I guess my advice is just get whichever phone suits your budget the best.
>>107949122I see people on reddit complaining about A16 being laggy right out of the box so I have to wonder if that phone can keep up with 6 years of updates.

>>107947189I've been reading this pajeet-stained ai-slopped mess of a thread for a few minutes and I still have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. With their retardedly broken english and weird jumps between sections, they take too many things for granted. Is it even the same method from >>107946705?

>>107950198>why the 13s tho?slightly smaller, cheap, high-end snapdragon, big battery. its their best phone imo
>>107950245I like the bigger screen for YouTube and emulations
>>107950198There is no point buying into the oneplus ecosystem when they're being killed off as a company and basically being absorbed by their parent company, Oppo.If you want an Android ecosystem that ACTUALLY exists and will continue to exist for years to come, samsung is the only real option.
>>107950335So an oppo eco system is outta the question huh?Are the Samsung tablets even good tho? Emulations and writing equations and electrical engineering bullshit
>flagship chipset>relatively big battery (5500mAh)>3 flagship cameras>6.3" screen>6.1mm thick, weighs 155gRemind me, why do we hate slim and light again? It's only 0.3mm-0.5mm thicker than the S25 Edge and 17 Air respectively but is somehow lighter and comes with none of the drawbacks.
>>107950349doesn't have unlockable bootloader, oneplus 13s is better
>>107950349Because it can fall outta your pocket easily
>>107950345>So an oppo eco system is outta the question huh?Not out of the question, just more up in the air about longevity and how they'll behave going forward.Oneplus has at this point devolved into a subbrand of Oppo where most of their products are rebadged Oppo devices. The OS's are now practically identical with just minor visual differences. And the "ecosystem" oneplus had is being integrated into the Oppo ecosystem. Technically, the Oppo ecosystem is larger than the Oneplus one, but the Oneplus one catered to a specific audience, the Oppo one caters to the masses of china/india/southeast asia.
>>107950349>listen stupid American this is a totally different Chinx brand than Huawei!Falls for it every time.
>>107950345>>107950373Also yes, the Samsung phones and tablets are excellent for emulation and writing equations and shit like that. They pioneered digital writing on phones/tablets.
>>107950382What's a good start Let's say s26 ultra, their ear buds are any good? What about laptops? , their stylus is tight and responsive?
>>107950547They have the best stylus in the gameEar buds are probably fine (I have no idea, I don't use wireless audio). Their laptops are a bit pricey, but not BAD, just not always the best value, but since it's windows, you can do MOST of the same shit with any windows laptop (Samsung has fairly deep integration with microsoft/windows in general, so you don't HAVE to buy one of their laptops). They position themselves as the android ecosystem competitor to Apple. And they tend to cover most of the same areas, smart watches, phones, tablets, laptops, earbuds etc.
I have a Pixel 7a and the 128gb storage is starting to annoy me. I've been looking at phones with more storage, but they're all retardedly expensive for what they do, or have some other flaws. I'm on Google Fi.I'm looking at the OnePlus 13r, there's one open box in excellent condition at best buy for 464 dollars. It has 256gb of storage, it's not really what I was hoping for, but it seems only flagships do 512gb now. The markup in cost going to a 13 vs 13r doesn't make sense either (650 USD).Anyone ever get an open box phone from best buy?And is the 13r a valid choice if I have a Pixel 7a?
>>107950547I don't know about their more expensive buds, but the Buds FE for 75 euro were a great purchase for me.
Sounds great, Ill probably get their tablet and laptop soon, just hope the stylus isn't pricey, and About the laptop I fucking despise windows so I'll just install Linux on it The camera is pretty good correct? Not for social media just for pictures for myself and family, the iphone has a good camera but everything else isn't good, moreso, the oneplus 13 camera was assI'll probably get the s26 ultra since the new turnip drivers dropped for the gen5
>>107950574Forgot to response to you>>107950726>>10795072175 euro isn't bad at all, how's the abc?
>>107950735>the abcthe ANC? it's pretty damn good, even more so because they have silicone earplug style tips which have "natural" sound isolationI also have a Galaxy Watch 4, but I don't like smartwatches, which I only learned after buying it, but I found it second hand for 50 euro in summer of 2024 and used it for about a year. Decent thing, not for me, the band irritates my skin and the underside of the watch gets really nasty from my sweat and skin oil.
>>107950757Yes anc the iphone autocorrect is fucking retarded , good if so I'll probably get them, tyvmYeah I'm not even considering a smartwatch, I just don't see the appeal,
>>107950767>good if so I'll probably get themIf you can find them. They seem to have been superseded by the Buds3 FE, which are more expensive. Sound quality should be identical on both. I like their sound on both Samsung and non-Samsung devices, which is good, because I just switched from S23 to iPhone.
>>107950726At least on the S11 Ultra tablet, the stylus is included in the box.
>>107950796I'll try worse case scenario I'll get the more expensive onesWondering why you switched to iPhone if everything else you got is galaxy >>107950802Not even oneplus add stylus in the box, props to the Koreans
>>107950836I wanted a phone with great battery life, and also good performance and cameras. The iPhone 16 Pro Max seemed to fit.I knew Galaxy Buds would work fine with it, and I don't like or use my Watch anyways.What else do I have that's Samsung... my charger I guess? It supplies it's full 25W to my iPhone, I know because I have a watt meter cable, which is more than it ever supplied to my S23... it capped out around 22W.I don't have a Galaxy Tab or Laptop. No tablet in fact, and as a desktop PC user my only laptop is some old crappy 2015 Acer running Linux Mint.
>>107950879I see, I assume you had the base galaxy s23 so the battery was ass?
>>107950926Exactly. It was still better than my previous phone, but a decent bit in fact, I could 100% to 0% kill my previous Motorola Edge 20 in 4 hours just scrolling Reddit or something, while the S23 could realistically squeeze out like 6 hours on mobile data with battery saver on. Taking a train ride from home to my university dorm, about 5 hours total time investment, could drain the battery almost entirely as the phone heated up a TON in poor signal areas which is 90% of the train ride through the hills, fields, depressions and mountains.With the base S23 being so small and the battery being so "barely passable", I started averaging just 2-3 hours of phone usage a day, while still charging it every 24-30 hours.Now with my iPhone I just use my phone all the time and the battery percentage barely moves unless I use the camera or play a 3D game.
>>107950963Weird, my 16 pro max is a battery drainer, got 98% battery health
>>107951014I'm personally very satisfied. This includes 1 hour of playing a relatively light 2D game, Trickcal Chibi Go. The last charge thing was me plugging it into my PC earlier for 2 minutes to refresh my sideloaded apps.
>>107951031Not bad at all ngl
>>107950547buddy, the only "ecosystem" worth cucksuming into is apple. nothing else has special snowflake integration actually worth it
>>107950586>it seems only flagships do 512gb nowI just got the moto edge 50 neo 12/512gb for 230$, great device
>>107951120>moto edge 50 neoThis looked interesting, then I saw the pleather case. What the hell were they thinking?
>>107951421>>107951421>>107951421
>>107951506Why did you bake a new thread early and use another iPhone image again OP? Still buck broken by Apple?
>>107951166thats gonna be the dealbreaker?... I dont get the plastic hate
>>107951506bump limit is 310 nigger, youre too early
>>107951739I don't hate plastic, plastic is fine if it's not microscopic pitted surfaces. I don't need some fabric that picks up dirt, oil, sweat and what ever other shit I'm working on when I need to use my phone.I just had such an issue where I had to get rid of standing water in the footwell of my car; The awful smell of the rainwater + whatever else was stewing in that broth would not come out of the rubber grip tape on my phone after multiple disinfectants. I can't imagine pleather would fare any better.
>>107949853But, how do I navigate?
>>107950158No, mine uses mitools which is a lot easier. Just follow my post. What I typed was probably the most coherent guide on unlocking a pooco on the internet kek
Guys I need genuine help because this is driving me fucking insane. Phone is pooco X7 pro. Why the FUCK are my notifications either a. not being shown on the lock screen orb. Being cleared from the lock screen after unlocking but not clearing the notifications from the notification shade. I tried fucking everything I can think of. All battery restrictions off, happens with pin/fingerprint enabled and disabled, ambient display on/off, show notification and content on, raise to wake on. I thought maybe I debloated too hard and there was a service I got rid off, I factory reset the entire phone. Didn't work. I upgraded to hyperjeet os3, same FUCKING problem. What the fuck am I missing? I have never gotten this mad at a phone before kek
>>107953147time for a custom rom.. oh wait
