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.
The image on the left pertains to all androids
The image on the right pertains to pixels.

Could you guys explain something please; I was told that specific apps like Instagram use the pain telephoto camera rather than some fancy 200mp one because theres's so many versions of smaller batch chink phones it is unworthy to code the specific models's cams into being supported and only flagships get to use the good cameras, is that true?

If so, what chinkphone with a good camera setup that gets utilised by normie social apps like IG would people recommend for about $650? Mainly for low light conditons like clubs/ forsest camps

And if that's wrong and I can just use whatever camera and upload a story/post after shooting it from default camera app, I'm still after some recommendations
Thx

Should I sell my phone and upgrade?
I have a iphone 14 at 82% battery. I'm debating whether to sell now for ~400 and buy a 17 or a pixel, or keep it 2 more years and buy then. In two years it won't go for much more than 100 and lightning port might be more annoying for buyers, etc...

I've only tried using brave and safari with ublock. It's kinda shit if you compare to vanced (back when I tried cracked youtube). Brave is buggy af but you get background playback everywhere with PiP. With safari it's not as buggy but you only get playback when locked (sometimes you have to try a couple times to get a video running)

I'll think about it but idk, I like my current phone. I actually really like the blue on the 15 Pro line so a lack of blue this time around is disappointing. I'd get silver or white maybe, those are the only appealing ones, black is too plain.

Only thing that really pisses me off about the 15 Pro Max is the size of RAW image files, 120mb for an image that is worst quality than a $300 DSLR is embarrassing. My Pixel was like that too with DNG but I'm still annoyed by it.

Is it worth buying Motioncam pro for casual use?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjkchOsifNg

>>107953753
I mean, it's almost $30, if you don't mind paying almost $30 for an app to record higher quality video, then go for it.

Id say MOST casual users wouldn't be okay with spending that much on an app, but only you know your financial situation.

Haven't dropped it yet, but I do use a case (Spigen Liquid Air) and protector (tempered glass).

Honestly the only real, genuine, issue with iOS is the keyboard and typing. It's 15 years behind Android. Everything else is basically the same or slightly better.

I have given up, if I read one more pajeet xda/plebbit post I will fucking off myself.
Apparently chinks are genuine subhumans and don't like notifications on their lock screen.
I guess that's its just too fucking convenient for them, to see things at a glance.
Bros, do NOT buy any mediakek pooco/chinkoid phone unless you like using unbearable UIs.
Thankfully I used my monthly bootloader unlock on my F7, which was already a much better phone, but now there's simply no comparison.
I liked the x7pro for being surprisingly compact, the plastic back and the green is nice. Even the soc is good enough to run master duel at a locked 60 and full resolution without getting hot or sucking the battery down, and vortek on winlator works well for the few VNs I tried.
I guess it'll be a backup until theres a good enough unofficial lineage for it.
I also have no idea why these brown cretins use telegram for fucking everything and not XDA.
Normal people do not fucking use telegram or WhatsApp aka pajeetware.

Are other pajeet methods faster?

Did you think we were lying when we said OP was dead/dying?

They're being swallowed by their parent company, Oppo. All of their hardware is rebadged Oppo stuff, nothing they do is innovative, none of their products are unique in any way and their entire ecosystem is being eaten by the Oppo ecosystem.

Refurb galaxy s23 ultra or s24 ultra?

>>107956968
thats what I dont understand. OnePlus uses snapdragon and OPPO uses MEDIATEK. everybody knows snapdragon is much more better and popular. What really did I think was the benchmarks not being that great and the oneplus 15 phone overheating and the fact that the find X9 pro benchmarked higher too is what was the final nail in the coffin for these guys.
see: >>107952147

>>107957078
I have the S24 Ultra and it's great, but I skipped the S21/22/23 so I can't speak to the S23U.

Genuinely making me regret getting the iPhone 17 PM, even though it's not that bad overall.

>>107955427
I switched a week ago too.
A gripe I have is that you can't change app settings inside the app, you have to find the app inside of the phone settings. It's pretty dumb.
Also, there's no universal back button.
17 Pro Max camera is also weird, it's the middle of January and it's gloomy here in the UK, but the photos make it look like a hot summers day, it just doesn't look natural at all. iPhone cameras seem severely overrated.

>>107958424
250 to 350 euro phones like these are the sweet spot for 90% of people, yet most of those people overspend and get an iPhone or more expensive Samsung.
>inb4 "lol poorfag opinion, real people can just afford a new iPhone every week if they so desired"
But really though, the A56 tier is roughly where the diminishing returns of investing more into your phone starts. The S25U that's 3-4 times more expensive is not 3-4 times better, it's like 30-40% better.

>>107958424
i bought a56 to replace huawei p20 pro (8 yo flagship) thinking it is more than good enough for a light user like me, but i wont be keeping it desu. i thought after almost a decade all the good stuff would trickle down, but they havent, at least not on a56

biggest difference is build quality, a56 feels like a plastic brick, p20 feels like a premium device. mostly thanks to rounded sides which make it so nice to hold in the hand

second biggest difference is display, it's considerably sharper and more vivid on p20, though it is not quite as bright

third thing that really surprised me, camera is much more capable on old huawei

and last but not least, it feels.... sluggish. now i dont know if this is samsung/oneUI thing or the hardware is not up to the task, but either way, if it feels like this out of the box i can only imagine in couple of years when i have bunch of apps and files on it


in the end i gave a56 to my mom and im now waiting for s26 ultra and if it isnt a considerable upgrade over s25u, i will buy either oppo find x9 pro or op15

if not, i will go with OP15 or Find x9 pro. when it comes to camera i only really care about daylight and night picture quality on main cam on 1x zoom and auto settings. from what i've seen they are both good enough for me. also, this might sound stupid, but i really dislike round camera modules. i cant stand them. in my opinion
>vertical cameras flush with back side > vertical cams like on s25 > square camera island like iphone 16 pro >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> round camera island
just for that i wouldnt even consider them

i used iphones in the past and what impressed me most about them is how stabilized the video is. from my experience no android device comes close to it. even on top end flagships, unless it is on tripod there is chopping and shaking. i dont know how apple does it, but kudos to them.

It's a decent phone for the price. It ran really well, I didn't mind OneUI at all, the speakers were great and the shape and feel was great for me. But the camera is fucking abysmal. It's the worst camera I've ever experienced on a phone. Every photo had horrible quality and was over-processed. I ended up giving up and buying myself a OP13 instead.

>>107963068
Only lineageOS is a good custom ROM

https://lineageos.org/

It has support for oneplus 13 even

>>107963273
>It has support for oneplus 13 even
should have specified, but I'm mostly considering cheap phones, seeing as I don't use them for more than light browsing and maps.

>>107963336
Define cheap, you can get it pretty cheap from AliExpress

But lineageOS is the way

>>107963624
>Define cheap
<200€

>>107951421
>expensive, shitty
yes, but consider the status that you gain by possessing the object. elite status, selected status, amazing status, lord of the technologies

>>107960448
Do you have a controller? Touch controls are dogshit

>>107957078
Go for 24 ultra. It has 7 years of updates. Only downside is that it has a worse telephoto camera

>>107959106
No perplexity?

>>107960448
What is a "front end"

>>107957078
S25 Ultra.

>>107964297
Even that's a trade off

You get worse 10x telephoto, but better 5-9x zoom quality.

On the S23U it has 1x/3x/10x. So anything between 3x and 10x (4 through 9) is digitally zoomed on the 3x lens. That 3x lens is 10MP.

On the S24U it has 1x/3x/5x, so at 4x it's the same digital zoom on the 3x lens. But at 5x it's native 5x, and then for 6-10x it's digitally zooming on the 5x lens, which is 50MP.

The 10x on the S23U is only 10MP (1.12um pixels) the 5x on the S24U is 50MP (0.7um pixels). This means the S24U is actually a 12.5MP image at 10x, even if it's not native like the S23U.

Tldr, it's actually a better camera in list scenario.

About the only time the S23U wins is very bright conditions at 10x or greater, which is not all that often. Most people taking smartphone pictures are using between 1x and 5x.

Yeah, I find the A2X and A3X phones to be the perfect balance of money and power/features.

With most of the MNOs in the US blocking Chinese phones (or refusing to tell you if they will work), they are the best options for non flagships.

Here's the thing, doing ANYTHING on a goyslab is inherently soulless.
Reading, games, taking pictures, buyijg/selling stocks, watching a movie or whatever etc. It all feels wrong to do on a glass slab with the two shittiest operating systems that India and China have ever shat out.
However the sheer convenience overrides that
Even a low mid ranger can play most PS2 games now. My desktop computer from not that long ago couldn't do that.
Pick a series of games that you're interested in and play through all of them.
On my retroon pocket I played through silent hill 1-4, had a great time.

Honestly the problem might be me, not the device. I barely enjoy vidya at all anymore and unironically look for books instead. What phones can do nowadays is quite a miracle, and I'm sure I'll replay stuff from my childhood sooner or later even if just for the nostalgia. But holy shit is it difficult for games to hold my attention.

Can anyone recommend a budget tablet that isn't complete garbage? I mainly want to read books and manga, browse the web in Firefox a bit. The Pixel Tablet looks good, but it's expensive and probably more power than I need. Is there anything like 1/2 or 1/4 the price that's still decent?

I want to upgrade to something exciting from 23 Ultra.
26 Ultra seems more or less the same phone.
17 Pro Max seems interesting, but IDK, never tried Apple.
What do?

>>107967546
its hard to go from android to ios. if you are tired of s23 then consider non oneui android flagship

>>107967546
I just went from S23 base to iPhone 16 Pro Max last weekend and it's a way easier switch than you'd think. If you don't use any app modded by the ReVanced suite then it's a 1:1 transition. If you do, there's generally workarounds.

gaming performance is excellent.

My Pixel 5a just bricked. No response, no screen, no haptics, no connection to ADB. Same thing happened to my mama's 5a a few months ago. What the fuck. Couldn't ask for a worse time. Apparently it's a widespread issue.

I can get a new phone and switch out the SIM, fine. What I'd like is access to the storage. Since I can't plug it in and use ADB, what's the procedure to rip out whatever storage it has and get that connected to my PC? I hope it's just an M.2 SSD or something.

I don't need to recover anything necessarily, but it would be nice. I'm doing some research now to see if I can open up the 5a, remove the UFS storage and find a USB housing for it. I'm not optimistic from an initial search.

I'm also particularly steamed that Pixels all seem to have one issue or another. This is my third one, second of which has failed, first of which has failed catastrophically. I fucking hate phones.

if you are really light user and on budget id say sure, buy a chink phone chink market phone for 200, but if you are paying top dollar might as well spring a little bit more for the piece of mind

Per app locking is pretty massive. Lots of apps with no security or security behind paywalls that this will now protect

Über poorfag here, what's the best smartphone below 100 euros? Just want a replacement for my older smartphone which is from like 8 years ago. Blackview Wave 8C? ZTE Blade A36?

google pixel 9a or motorola edge 60?

Can someone please speak to pixel 8 pro + graphene?

>>107986590
i can't recommend you a certain phone but i suggest getting something with these specs:
8-12gb ram
SoC Dimensity 7300-7400, Snapdragon 6/7/7s gen 3 or 4
use gsmarena advanced search and i am sure you will find a phone that fits your needs

At least not until ZTE snorts another fat line of coke

after 16 years of android usage, i got an iphone last week and got laid that same weekend

LITERALLY is just one third worlder spamming this entire board to justify his shitty purchase.

Does a modern phone exist that has

>no notch or hole punch

>>107988736
anything sony or some redmagic

>>107988750
Anything budget?

>>107988549
It's demonstrably not, there IS one mentally ill spammer, but that's like 1/10th of the traffic unless it's a very slow period of the day.

Wrong again schizo poverty stricken anons.
See:>>107982949 >>107983783

>>107988768
No
But it's totally worth it to get Xperia because chink phones put ads on the UI itself.

>>107988442
you can but iirc some stuff like esim will still be missing and chink ai is baked in and i dont think you can remove it

>>107988884
Anon, pay attention. We are talking about PCBG, an ENTIRELY different thread.

>>107988999
Don't really care about eSIM nor any AI desu

>>107989028
Okay fine sorry and I love you anons. I'm just mad OnePlus tanked. Thanks to you anons I bought a red magic 11 pro and a OnePlus 15.

Love my iPhone 17 Pro Max bros
A massive upgrade from my old androids, particularly CMF, Shartsung and Xiaomeme

What's the best cameraphone with a snapdragon processor that isn't locked to china?
