From what I understand Graphene will be unaffected as it is not a Google certified ROM. So even if Google does more than just making users click through additional warnings to install unverified apps it won't matter to Graphene users.

Age verification is totally separate matter, with state governments (heavily lobbied by Facebook) mandating it on all OS providers, not Google. Graphene will have to grapple with it like any other open source project.

talk me out of X8, i was actually eyeing x7 pro/f7 before, but waited for this as it has a smaller screen and now i can't decide whenever or not should i go for pro max instead.
the release sale looks good and i can trade-in my old 2019 xiaomishit for twice of what i would get on used market. so i'm eyeing
>x8 pro 8/256 or 12/512
>x8 pro max 12/256
realistically i don't play gaymez so 8/256 should be fine, but i'll keep it for 5+ so i might as well pay some extra for a small upgrade, but then pro max is another small price bump away. extremely annoying that x8 pro doesn't have 12/256 version.

Just use a different camera app, was just talking with someone about this. On the same camera hardware, the Pixel Camera app has lot of processing and HDR stuff vs OpenCamera, which in turn has more processing than the default GrapheneOS camera app which has very minimal processing.

New In Depth Tech Reviews Video Is Out.
This one is huge! The s26 ultra loses performance, can't screen share without lagging, screen constantly black outs and the iPhone 17 Pro Max wins in the heavy workload testing comparisons. The s26 ultra had the worse game play, worse video playback and laggy screen sharing. The s25 ultra did better than the s26 ultra. Wow!!!!

>>waited for smaller screen
>>but might get larger screen
yeah but that's because i want 12gb ram and the price difference is minimal between those models
if i could get x8 without overpaying for 512gb storage i would've gotten that already
>>
>>108401936
What is the price difference between the "regular" 12/512 and "Max" 12/256?
>>
>>108402008
i guess this depends on your market but for me it's €252 vs €292 so 16% more
>>
>>108402059
The size difference is minor, and the weight is only ~16grams more on the Max... but if you want a smaller phone €40 for double the storage as a "bonus" seems ok to me.
But does the regular not support eSIM? It's not listed on gsmarena.
https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=14506&idPhone2=14507
That would be a downside for me, but depends on your market and if you travel and if so what countries you go to.

i never left my country so that's not an issue. my current phone is 6,7" and it's annoying handling it with one hand in public transport. i don't even use 128gb currently so i'd never use 512gb, this variant is weird as usually for normalfags most of the space is used up by photos/videos, but this phone apparently has pretty bad cameras.

For the ones with an S26 ultra, is the migraines caused by the display an actual issue, or just a meme? Same for the display downgrade from the S25 ultra due to the privacy display implementation, want to upgrade from an S22 ultra, but if thats the case might as well go for an S25 ultra, will be cheaper even

I own an S23U and have tried out the S26U in a Samsung shop

I don't know how the screen compares to the S25U but the screen on S26U is really, really good, much better than the screen on my S23U and the screen on that already was gorgeous. This is when privacy mode is turned off

When you use maximum privacy the screen is visibly a bit worse but that's the good thing about this, you can turn it off when you dont need it and turn it on when you do

With that said, I would still go for the S25U since you can get it for a really good price now...and it's going to be a big upgrade from your S22U

every camera on phones has AI postprocessing, brah, the main factor here is how much of it is present in the image and how well these companies can "hide" it

The latest S26U has had it's processing changed a lot to give much more natural looking photos, Xiaomi and Vivo have "Natural" modes which look very good, Sony always gives a very natural and unprocessed look and iPhones are always well rounded and balanced in their output

Looking to buy a non-slabshit phone (diagonal screen size <6.2 in), and I am getting demoralized.
>Pixel 3(a)
>Pixel 4(a), 5(G)
>Sony Xperia XA2, XZ2 compact
These are all the viable models I found supported by LineageOS that aren't *that* old. I will NOT pay the compact tax for a modern phone with a sane form factor.

The issues with the Xperia models, and the 3a I'd assume, are that they're relatively old, and overheat at times from what I've read. The 4a got an update that fucked with the battery because FUCK YOU, and also because it had a risk of blowing up. Not considering LineageOS, the 5G is old, and no longer receiving security updates, which would obviously affect all the other phones in that list.

My question then is, how long can I expect LineageOS support for a particular phone? Aside from (((banking apps))) throwing a fit, on it, anything else I should know about using LineageOS?

At this point, I think I'd be better off buying a flip phone and just using it to make calls--either a Japanese one, or an actual dumb phone; not a (((feature phone))). Buying any in the aforementioned list would be a waste of money, right? I'm better off doing anything I might find myself doing on a phone, on an actual computer. The only issue with flip phones is that I've heard they often shit themselves; the call quality is terrible, and they're just KaiOS pieces of shit in general. Are there any that aren't?

If I'm going to get a smartphone, I'd prefer it not to be locked down.

Actually, with all the age attestation/verification bullshit being passed aimed at operating systems and app stores, maybe it's best to just get a flip phone after all (assuming LineageOS is forced to comply).

Any recommendations for flip phones that aren't complete shit and don't look like fucking satellite phones? I just need it to make calls and sometimes text messages. Camera quality is no concern, and neither is the presence of a headphone jack; I'm better off using a standalone device for my music.
