first for apple dominance
The baker used a flame war instigating image again as usual to spread misinformation and to try and make Apple look bad. Embarrassing and it never works though since the OP is making everything up.Since 2024 Google has lost the most cases based on stealing and spying of users data.

Any smartwatch recommendation?
>>108162384my q25 came today
>>108166014i have a garmin vivoactiv 5 really like the battery life ive had android wear devices before and end up not wearing them after a while because ill forget to charge it and the battery is then always dead. lasts 1-2 weeks on the garmin easily
>>108166047Garmins are way too out of budget for me unfortunely, so are Huawei, Samsungs and Apple watches (being 2nd worlder is shit af).I don't want a very "sporty" watch, something more casual and normal and with a bit room for costumization, from what I've researchedXiaomi Watch 4 ActiveHaylou Solar PlusI think those pair normally with Iphones, just download the company's app
>>108166242have you looked for the vivoactive5? just had a look one webstore is selling it for 137 gbp which is only 20 more than that xiaomi
OnePlus won!!!
>>108166270I did, however Garmin doesn't sell officially to my country, the Vivoactive 5 is 180,00 GBP (1200,00 BRL) here, while the Xiaomi is 42,00 GBP (300 BRL) the reseller's profit fees make it out of my budget
>>108166320No.
Every new smartphone is shit on some level. I bought a pixel and i was already regretting it before i even clicked buy.Only really took it for software support, graphene and satellite sos. But graphene and satellite arent compatible. So now i have to pick one or the other and the rest of the features are mid-tier garbage.
I want to get an iphone pro max 17 now out of fear of supply shortages due to tariffs and the AI bubble.
iPhone 17e would be the perfect "basic bitch" phone if it cost 400 euro, had a 1/1.56" main camera instead of some iPhone 11 tier bullshit, and the screen was 90 Hz.But at a 699 euro starting price? You can get a regular iPhone 17 for that price if you know where to shop. So it's literally DoA except for extreme retards who just walk into an Apple store and grab the cheapest current-gen iPhone.>hurr my grandma doesn't need pro motion she just wants to look at AI slop on facebook!!Your grandma also doesn't need a brand new phone, get her a used iPhone 13 or some Samsung A-series/Moto G-series phone.

I have a hand-me-down iphone 12 mini with a 75% battery health which lasts hardly any time at all. Instead of replacing the battery I'm thinking of finally making the switch to android. Which android is a good option if the iphone 12 mini is perfectly powerful enough for me but I hate the shit battery

>S26U will be yet another Incremental upgradeI'm so tired of it, bros...
>>108175273>10001 mAh>only 25hr active use scoreThat's pretty underwhelming tbqh desu. OnePlus 15's battery is 27% smaller yet loses only 2 and a half hours compared to the P4 Power. GSMArena's battery testing has always been strange but I don't get how a phone with such a big battery and relatively weak hardware could score that low.
Are Poco ROMs worse than Oppo or Vivo? Thinking of getting Poco F8 Pro.
Everyday I thank Jesus for blessing me so I never have to buy a used smartphone or a Poco.
>>108174960If you're in the US, what network are you on? ATT has a whitelist that prevents some of the more interesting phones from working correctly. Verizon is a mixed bag, while T-Mobile allows pretty much any phone. That Realme power phone seems to be basically a power bank.

Apple crushed the sales charts.
Do people really care about the SoC and RAM amount? I've been using mainly iPhone for the last 3 years and I don't game. I'm seeing a lot of complaints about Pixel phones regarding the chips but does it actually make a difference if I'm not a child playing Genshin Impact?
>>108178750Pixels have some of the best battery degradation on the market. Probably because there are glaciers that move faster than Pixels charge. It's not unusual to buy a 3.5-4 year old Pixel and still have solid battery life.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max beat the Red Magic 11 Pro in multiple games like Resident Evil 4, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Tomb Raider. The A19 Pro SOC runs cooler and has better graphics. Pic related is the iPhone 17 Pro Max getting 60fps on the left and the Red Magic 11 Pro getting 11 fps.Also instead of relying on YouTube videos I actually own a iPhone 17 Pro Max, Red Magic 11 Pro and a OnePlus 15 and can confirm the iPhone 17 Pro Max runs those 3 games better.https://youtu.be/V_V5_JjsxTg?si=RCHvQgQIiNAFpeJfhttps://youtu.be/yh4Vq5v7jgM?si=MGpOFayF57Ibre-Fhttps://youtu.be/4PTt83cZwbw?si=aYIQo5wsnbuSlmz3

>>108182812No. We truly reached the limit back in 2019-2020. An S20 Ultra really isn't terribly different from an S25 Ultra aside from the faster SOC and brighter display+anti reflective glass
Impoverished thirdies are coping that 3+ years old smartphones are just as good as modern flagship smartphones. lol lmao even.
seething shill coping about technological progress being halted a while ago
I’m not a shill lmao and you broke thirdies can cope harder posting lies instead of getting a real job so the idea of owning a brand new smartphone valued over $1200 can become a reality. Not being able to afford the latest top-of-the-line tech is not a flex especially when you’re posting on a technology enthusiast board. This is not an impoverished thirdie board.

Is it just the state of the internet in general, or why does nobody want to discuss smartphones? This thread is dead, model-specific subr*ddits only post battery life screenshots and questions about bugs and issues... There is some discussion on Twitter but it boils down to "haha remember old phone? old phone was good!" or absolutely retarded questions like "do you have battery% visible or hidden?" instead of discussing the specs, software experience, form factor and general design aesthetics of various smartphone models.Like, for a device literally EVERYONE has, it feels like we're at an all time low for actual smartphone enthusiasts. Nobody cares anymore. They just hold onto whatever they have until it breaks, then they buy another of the same brand of the same price class 2-4 years later. Some people upgrade every year or two on schedule, but they just buy the most expensive iPhone/Samsung they can afford without considering any external factors beyond "brand" and "tier/price".Smartphone techfluencers just list out specs in a way that doesn't make it look like a blatant ad, and then do a staged unboxing (phone already tested by labs), test some photos, say "damn good phone do buy" and sign out. There's just no nuance unless it's a particularly bad or badly priced phone like the Pixel 10a or the iPhone 16e...Contrary to what most people might think, I do NOT buy a piece of expensive high-end tech to just set and forget and have a smooth experience for 2+ years. I buy it so I can talk to people about it, show it off, discuss features, compare specs/photos...
>>1081865061-there is nothing worth talking about, smartphones are essentially carbon copies of each that essentially all do the same things.2-it's perfectly natural for people to not talk about specs, smartphones are a tool, a portal to use useful/fun applications.the same way people talk more about the steak than they do about the pan, people will talk more about what they use the smartphone for than the smartphone itself.no one wants to talk about incremental updates and spreadsheets.
and just to add, the few phones worth talking about are either gone or unaffordable for most people, compact phones might as well not exist anymore, foldables are too expensive.when apple eventually releases their foldable, people will talk about it, and then it will either die or become the standard and discussions will stop either way.phones are a tool, some people used to treat like toys, but they aren't anymore.
>>108186552>phones are a tool, some people used to treat like toys, but they aren't anymore.I miss 10-12 years ago when hardware was finally "solidified" and designs stopped being too esoteric and weird, yet everyone still flashed roms and rooted their phones.Hell at this point I miss the sort of 2017-2020 era where designs started changing and evolving drastically due to the iPhone X looking like nothing that came before. Notches, nipple teardrop notches, punchholes, flipout cameras, popup cameras, removal of the home button, introduction of gestures to android, high megapixel cameras like 48 or 64 MP for the first time in mainstream 250 euro phones, slow motion video, three to FOUR rear cameras on a phone, premium designs with glass even on midrangers, 1080p becoming the minimum and the standard for displays, OLED starting to make it's way down to cheaper phones, midrangers like the Redmi Note 8 Pro having ALL the features you could want from a phone while costing 1/3 that of the iPhone XR. Just insanity. I miss that era so much. I was still in high school and I'd see my classmates bringing in a new phone to class every 3-12 months, because the difference between an early 2018 Redmi and a mid-2019 Redmi was so massive it wasn't even remotely the same phone. That was also the era of peak Huawei before they got banned.The only thing we lost in that transition was small phones.
>>108185751thanks, I dug a bit further and found a oneplus clone app as well so I'll be using that (and if that doesn't work then the oppo one). I know OP and oppo are part of the same company but if the shoe fits
Am I retarded for trying to see if I can use an alternate method to get magnetic charging to work on the 10a since they didn't put qi2 magnets in the phone.
>>108186900It's called a magsafe case, anon. Every phone has them available. It's just a normal case with magnets on the back in a shape compatible with magsafe and qi2.
>>108186506>current phone is from 2018>consider upgrading in 2020>"eh, it's still working just fine and everything is still instant">repeat for every year since thenSnapdragon 855 was the SandyBridge moment for ARM.There's zero point anymore other than meaningless benchmark numbers, and mobile games have never needed any semblance of decent specs since they're all mobile trash apps slopped out by the thousands every month.The only reason to ever upgrade a phone is for a better camera, and Google perfected that with the Pixel 3 years ago. Crapple only finally caught up after a decade of having utter fucking shit cameras.
>>108186904So I can just get one of those magnetic rings for the case and still use my snap charger no problem then yeah?
>>108186919I dunno if they sell rings you can glue to any case, but they sell cases with the rings already attached. And yeah it will work with any magnetic charging puck or car mount or powerbank, etc.In fact, official cases often include these rings, because magsafe generally doesn't work through cases. Meaning even if the 10a had the Qi2 magnets, if you put a case on it, and the case doesn't have magnets as well, you're screwed.
>>10818691660 IQ misinformation thirdie post filled with lying cope
>>108186916Bro you have a phone from 2018 that's not a flex. You're just lying to yourself and everyone in this thread saying your old antiquated smartphone is comparable to a real modern flagship.
>>108187117>>108187121Imagine posting lies on a technology board where every techie with a smartphone can double check multiple reliable sources to see the real facts.
>>108186588Innovation in candy bar/glass slab phones has slowed because they have reached maturity in their product life cycle. There has been so little hype for the S26 line releasing in 6 days because they are the same phones as last release. The phones that are interesting enthusiasts at the moment are Qwerty's and digital detox devices like Ikko, Minimal, Punkt and flip phones.
>>108187290No they are not! Lol lmao even!!! Just say new modern flagships cost too much instead of posting fantasy tales.
>>108187165iPhone has been the standard for video for years but that Pixel photo makes me think they didn't take the photo using Night Sight. My P7Pro would have taken the photo better than that.

Is update support a meme?
>>108187381>MUH CAMERA BUMP, I HATE THE CAMERA BUMP, HOW DARE IT EXIST My brother in Christ, if this is such a big deal to you, then get a RedMagic and stop complaining
>>108187621It definitely isn't a memeI still remember the horrific dark days when Samsung phones used to get 1 OS update after release, glad those dark times are in the past
>>108187648>HOW DARE IT EXIST it's just retarded, why would anyone make it so easy to damage delicate camera lensesat least in 2000s manufacturers made some effort to cover it>BUT MUH MOVING PARTS, HOW DARE THEY EXISTeasier to replace then camera lenses
>>108186916this, Im on the 865 myself. switched from the bloated stock rom to lineage and its fast like new
>>1081876217 years is a meme because nobody is holding onto their phone for that long.That being said, I wouldn't buy a phone that doesn't launch with the latest android AND promise 3 major android version AND monthly security patches AND 1 bonus year of security patches after the last major update.I think that's the minimum for a phone, especially since more and more people are using their phones for 3-4 years nowadays instead of upgrading yearly.I upgrade every 2 years in January, but extended updates means I get to hand it down to a family member and have it not instantly become an obsolete brick stuck on a 2+ year old OS.
>>108187381>it's one of the most fragile parts of the phoneIve literally never heard or read anybody breaking their camera
>>108187785>stuck on a 2+ year old OSI used android 13 until like 2 months ago, it literally doesn't matter
>>108187804my little brother tripped on his way back to school once with his phone in his hand and the main camera's glass shattered a classmate back in high school managed to break his alcatel's camerai myself managed to crack my old old Moto Edge 20's camera square in the first month or two of owning it, but not the actual camera
>>108187804I have scratched camera lenses in 3 different smartphones now
>>108187767>My 2018 smartphone with a rom made it fast like a new flagship The thirdie cope has been huge lately
>>108187697I use a thin case on my phone and never damaged the lenses but if you have issues with this just get a case which covers the lenses

>>108182661based
>>108186900>>108186929I've used magsafe wallets and batteries with my pixel 7a with a metal ring on the back (no case), the battery can be a bit loose but it works ok (though I wish it could do better than 7.5w). I would have totally bought a 10a if it had pixelsnap and faster wireless charging but I guess I'll just stick with what I've got.
Does anyone know when the Apple shill that's here every thread goes to bed?
>>108188157Stop lying already. I'm not a shill I own 1 iPhone and 3 Androids. I'm buying the TriFold and S26 Ultra as well. You're just angry you can't post misinformation in here anymore.
>>108188236Stop lying already. You shit in the street. You buy 2 plates of curry with the 100 rupees you earn daily making 100 pro-Apple shill posts.

>>108188339Very nice. Which one is your favorite? Does the OnePlus 15 really get too hot? Thinking about replacing my S23 Ultra.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Geekbench 6 scores are out.Faster than the Red Magic 11 Pro soc since it's overclocked. Red Magic is releasing a 11s thats supposed to be overclocked in April.The A19 Pro at the moment topped out over the S26 Ultra Snapdragon SOC version.....Samsung also said the S26 Ultra soc runs hotter and the smartphone only has vapor chamber cooling. Hopefully it isn't another OnePlus 15 situation.https://wccftech.com/iphone-17-pro-max-barely-faster-than-galaxy-s26-ultra-in-its-favorite-benchmark/

>>108181995Country? Budget? Get him an international version of the S25U or S24U. They're cheaper.
>>108188867dude you have edl access, you can do whatever you want
I have a S25 ultra but I genuinely believe even an iPhone 15 pro is better, people don't want to have anything to do with you if you don't own an iPhone

Hi /spg/, I was thinking about buying a five y/o Samsung phone that hasn't been used (new in the box). Is there any potential issue in this related to the battery being dormant for that period of time?

>>108199612A10e
>>108199651if it's actually completely new then the battery shouldn't have degraded that muchStill, in 2026 I wouldn't even bother with that phone because not only is it 5 android versions behind from it's last update but also it has a 3k battery which is very small

>>108198385Is the A15 5G any good? Been looking for a cheap Android phone that can take the latest Android OS
>>108191872Have you tried RAW? I was also kind of disappointed in the processing at times with my 6 Pro, but I've found the DNGs out of it to actually be quite nice once you edit them a bit. I'd argue Google's DNGs are better than Sony's, but then again Sony's processing is a little more natural SOOC

>>108199778For youWhy are people forgetting that most people look at the big picture and all aspects when choosing a phone? Why do you think Apple and Samsung sell so many phones? Because they do everything "Good"Of course there are going to be phones that do certain things better but one aspect of a phone isn't going to outweigh everything else. It's like the people who complain that the latest ultra Samsung phone has only a 5K battery, forgetting that it does the most important thing: The ability to work nonstop from the start of a day till the end
