Is Si/C a meme or is OOS/ColorOS just shit? Got a OnePlus 13 back in July and initially I'd get 9-10h SOT, but for awhile now it's been more or less in line with what I was getting on my S23U (7-8h) even though the battery's 20% bigger. What gives?
my phone suddenly turned off from 70% and when i plugged it in it started at 20% left, is it worth to swap the battery? I used it for nearly 3 years now
>>108476132i wonder if they sell silicon-carbon batteries for old phonesthat would help improve battery life by 40% easily

>>108476132Yes, your battery likely tried to produce a large amount of power leading to an unexpected shutdown.As for if it is worth replacing, depends on the phone. A flagship, long term supported phone could get you two more years of use. An abandoned BLU $100 Walmart special? Not so much.

I am willing to spend up to $300, what is the best phone that I can get?I have been a Motocel for 10 years, I had an E2, G5 plus, X4, and have been using a used G 5G Ace with Lineage for about 4 years. The charging is slow,though I am just charging off a power strip with a magnetic connector charging cord. On like android 12, thought about updating it but I was fucking around trying to update my old X4 and I remembered how much I hated dealing with roms would rather just buy something new and flash a new rom if I had to than back up everything on this phone and have to set it up again. The Ace is still fine but if I could get something that's an upgrade for not a whole lot of money I'd like to.Must beAndgroidcustom rom support or long term updates from manufacturer5000mah or greater6gb ram or greater128gb of storage or greaterWork with TelloThe CMF Phone 2 Pro seemed like the choice but it isn't in stock anymore so I guess I'm not doing that.The Moto G stylus 2024 was tempting since it's under $200 but I learned it has no Lineage support so it's basically going to be garbage soon.I started looking at the basedstaniable phones since a more easily replaced battery would be nice, I saw the HMD Fusion, but heard the specs aren't that great so I don't really see the point for me.I could not care less about screen refresh rate or resolution, I want the best battery life possible and if screen specs get in the way I am not interested as long as it doesn't look actively worse than the Ace.I wouldn't really gaymen a lot on it, but I also don't want something that's a piece of shit performance wise since the greater the battery and performance the longer it should last ideally.The battery life could be supplemented by wireless charging, but I heard it's bad for the battery health and inefficient, I also prefer using bulky cases so even if I did have it it probably wouldn't work.As there been any headway in the smaller phone department?
>>108477133moto g86 power looks pretty good
>>108476361galaxy s22 used for almost 3 years, no screen issues or anything of the sort, just the typical overheating

Graphene, postmarketOS, which for a oldish phone circa 2020 era? I just want my camera to work and telegram to function to keep contact with my relatives far away from home. Also, is postmarketos and graphene just android but updated? How does that work with the hardware and drivers on my phone?

My disappointment is immeasurable.> Moto G Stylus 2024 is $200 but no Lineage support? Literal e-waste. Trash.> Sustainable phones? HMD Fusion specs are for peasants. I want a phone I can repair with a toothpick and sheer willpower.> Battery must be hot-swappable. I should be able to change it mid-call without the OS blinking.> I don’t care about "refresh rate" or "resolution." If the screen doesn't generate its own power via photosynthesis while looking at my face, I'm not interested.> Must be "small" for one-handed use, but also have a massive screen and a battery the size of a brick. I expect the phone to defy Euclidean geometry.> I don't "gaymen" but the performance must be NASA-tier. If I see one frame drop while scrolling a PDF, I will sue the manufacturer.> Wireless charging is for the weak and inefficient. I want the phone to charge via ambient static electricity from my carpet.> It needs to fit in a case thick enough to survive a direct hit from a Leopard 2 tank.> Is there any phone in existence that fits these perfectly reasonable demands, or is the mobile industry just a cabal of failures?I have $300 and I will not compromise.> mfw no phone exists that is a 4-inch-screen 7000mAh beast with 10 years of updates for $150> Wagie devs, what have you been doing for the last 5 years?Would you like me to find a list of current 2026 mid-rangers that actually have LineageOS maintainers?
Apple is actually really open about admitting that they spy on youAll you need to do is go on their website and read everything carefully they write down all the details what info they collect on you they know the avarage goyim doesn't care about privacyI would never get an Apple device but I respect their honesty

The iPhone 17 Pro Max performs better than both the S26 Ultra and the Red Magic 11 Pro in a head to head gaming comparison.https://youtu.be/Evy9NGnw6Fg?si=NPF5b30Zp9zfbEkz
>>108478461Why was the Redmagic only tested in Fortnite?
>>108478461Okay, but I would still rather have a Galaxy S26 (non-Ultra because I like the smaller size of the regular S26) than an iPhone 17 (Pro Max or regular). I guess I prefer the flexibility of Android.

Anons, is the OnePlus Nord 5 still worth buying? It’s pretty much the only phone in my 500$ budget with decent/good gaming performance and 512GB storage.
>>108479273Nah broIphones aren't real smartphones since they don't even have a 4chan app in the store

what do you recommend me to get this black friday, exynos 2600 s26 base or snapdragon s25?
>>108479296Snapdragon all day everyday over Exynos fren
>>108479296Get the snapdragon if your area has poor 5g connectivity. The snapdragon modem will extend your battery life significantly in those edge cases
>>108479317i have 5g here but don't use it, would 256gb be enough or should i fork another 80 bucks for 512? i torrent anime for reference
>>108475837Fingerprint requires physically interacting with a device.FaceID can be used to identify and track a person remotely without their consent.
>>108479325I would personally pick the 512gb since the system partition takes up a couple of 10gbs and going to 512gb more than doubles the usable storage space
>>108476767>feces colored vs. feces fetish
>>108479339the alternative would be iphone 17, i like the lavender one a lot but i can't justify spending 1k yuro on it, idk, is the difference in fluidity worth it? i like the color and the finish but i would miss multitasking and torrenting, however i would like to not bother with popup ads anymore
>>108479359iphone 17's hardware is pretty solid but if you frequently do nerdy stuff like torrenting on your phone, you should stick to android. iOS' walled garden is no joke. The only exception would be if you live in the EU or Japan and have access to sideloading.
>>108479382it's not groundbreaking, the torrenting part, i can still use my laptop for it, but it would be a pretty big dealbreaker, the adblocking part and the multitasking
>>108479330Android has face scanning to unlock as well low quality posting anon and lost the most cases for spying on users so cope more.>>108475869>>108479393Don't fall for liars in the thread claiming iOS is a "walled garden" this is a thirdie misinformation scam lol
>>108479393Yeah multitasking is a pain point on iOS for sure. Some apps do try to get around it like tachimanga's background downloads but even that's not guaranteed to work rightAs for adblocking, I've only tried out browser (safari) based adblockers and it's worked as well on ublock origin on Android Firefox. Haven't tried system level adblockers, if it's even possible (not sure)
>>108479419>Android has face scanning to unlock as wellCan you show me a list of android devices that _only_ offer face unlock?
>>108479458You just install a ad blocking DNS profile like from AdGuard but I prefer using brave browser
>>108479503Nice goal posts moving response, you have no factual information to reply with and now are just grasping for straws. Let me know when you got the proof that iOS paid more for spying lawsuits than Google btw. Too easy
>>108479273Yeah? Well I posted every single post ITT and I'm just behind 10 VPNs talking to myself this whole time.>>108479296Snapdragon is much better.

>>108479601I see you cropped out the Gemini ai logo this time, at least you learned something after posting your childish cartoons with no sources to back up the nonsense in them. this is not the win you think it is by posting low quality memes. this isnt your group chat full of kids fyi, this is a technology board. go troll on b please.
>>108479599>>108479601Zoom zooms always lower the quality of discussions on /g it's the easiest giveaway that the anon is under age
>>108479528>iOS paid more for spying lawsuits than Google This isn't even related to my original post or the OP picture at all, you are hyper-focused on some strange unrelated concept of "lawsuits".No one in the entire thread mentioned "lawsuits" until you brought it up.
>>108479630You lost the argument when you failed to provide the proof that iOS lost lawsuits for spying and paid more than Google did for losing lawsuits pertaining to spying. It's not rocket science. Your silly fingerprint opinion doesn't change the fact Google spied more and lost in court for it too.
>>108479620Guess who Apple is paying to bring AI slop to iOS because "Apple Intelligence" was a bust?https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-05/apple-plans-to-use-1-2-trillion-parameter-google-gemini-model-to-power-new-siri>satirical image>source??????
>>108479601Responding to someone with immature low quality ai memes while they are posting facts about smartphones with reliable sources is a sign you lost little bro
>>108479652This always makes me laugh so much because people who don't know anything about how expensive it is to run an AI Data center and how much time it requires to actually have a proper data center running with all the resources. this is not a loss this is a tremendous win because Apple doesn't have to worry about all the cost of running an AI Data center and at the end of the day Google has the most resources for collecting data and enhancing its AI. Open AI is losing so much money that they literally had to take government contracts so they can make AI for weapons systems if they didn't do this they would go bankrupt that's the current state of AI you don't know what you're talking about they need people to use their AI or it's going to go belly up.
>>108479683Apple is paying a billion dollars for the model, they're still running data centers themselves using Apple Silicon servers for most stuff. SOME of the "heavy lifting" might be done on Google servers instead, but as of now this appears to still be under negotiation.
>>108479839Google has the best AI in my opinion just because they have the most resources and this is just a big win and I dont even see this as an L

>>108480475Oof apparently the guys at TS fucked up tons of orders so at least you're not the only one. I suggest you just return the phone and look for something else.HOWEVEROnePlus 15 has a Snapdragon no? All Snapdragon processors have an emergency download mode on top of the phone's bootloader that will take any firmware file to restore the phone back to a functional OSBUTIt's very tricky, you need the correct EDL firmware files, the correct firehose files for your specific processor and a flasher program. If you fuck up even slightly you'll end up with a pretty expensive paperweight.

I have a question about region-locked Google Play app featuresI'm from Canada but I'm going to Japan in a week and I want to try the Translate app's new Live Translate feature but it's not enabled in Canada yet (but it is in Japan, and USA). I have had some success getting Live Translate to show up in the app using a USA VPN but I haven't been able to make it consistentSo I have two questions actually:1. If I go to Japan will the app feature just automatically start working based on my location/IP even though all my "stuff" is still from Canada? The VPN behavior with a USA IP seems to suggest this, like it's geofenced rather than account-based?2. Is there a consistent way to spoof my location/region to get the feature to show up? I haven't tried changing my Google account region to USA because it requires a payment method, I have US friends who would probably let me use their credit card details but I don't want to ask unless it might actually work.

>>108481528As a battery ages, its internal resistance increases. When the phone demands a "peak" burst of power for heavy tasks, this resistance causes the battery’s voltage to instantly drop—or "sag"—below the minimum level required for operation. To protect the hardware from this sudden loss of stable power, the system triggers an automatic emergency shutdown.

>>108482030>>108482038Nice try misinformation posting anon, android apps require age veri6in the UK as well it's not just a iOS thing. Imagine posting lies to a technology board thinking we are all room temperature iq zoom zooms. Graphene doesn't surpass app age verifications.
>>108482061damn, the UK is more of a fucking police state than I thoughtwill you be arrested if you don't carry a phone?
>>108482068Some lawsuits were just successfully able to convince courts that social media companies are responsible for their kids having mental health issues some psychologists have been able to correlate it therefore in order to protect themselves from huge lawsuits they're implementing age verification but at the same time it's also to spy on everybody obviously

The design of the smartphones regarding the cameras is getting out of hand. Recently I saw a new smartphone in a store, I don't remember the brand now, but the cameras where so much thicker than the smartphone that it was so ugly.I guess the reason is that they still can't make the cameras as thinner as the smartphones?

>>108476074SiC is unproven in reliability for mass scale. Phones with sic batteries are single percentile share compared to the standard LiHV polymer packs.You see, the silicon changes size so much with every charge/discharge, and the carbon can only ameliorate that size change so much, that eventually the silicon cracks and/or loses contact with the other layer and you either get the bad boom boom fire or a broken battery.This is why the cycle rating is half of a lipo.On the flipside, modern lipo phone batts are typically LiHV (high voltage) of a 3.85-3.9v nominal chemistry and a 4.45-4.5v full charge. This is why the EU mandated cycle rating dropped so much for lipos. LiHV can store more for the same size, but regardless of it being a tailored HV chemistry, still cannot endure as many cycles as a standard 3.7v/4.2v lipo.

My current phone (OnePlus Nord N20 5G) is starting to crap out on me, so I just ordered a new phone. Specifically, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. It looks like a good upgrade, but should I have considered other options instead? Does anyone make a good case for it?

>>108482299Yes, they are limited by lens design more than anything else. If you're willing to live with a bad camera, redmagic has you covered with totally flush cameras. If you want good cameras then you'll need to deal with a larger lens. It's similar to the difference in image quality between a point and shoot camera and a camera with a separate lens

Anyone know why my Moto G Power 2025 can run the unlock origin DNS profile but my OnePlus 15 can't? My friend says his Red Magic 10 won't let him install it either. Global rom versions and unlocked too. Are Chinese phone manufacturers blocking the DNS from being installed on android because it will stop them spying on us? When I go to wifi on my OnePlus 15 the DNS profile works, but on my mobile network it doesn't. I have T-Mobile for my OnePlus 15 and cricket for my Motorola G Power 2025. It's like the phones are automatically blocking it only when on mobile data.
>>108486520Very strange had nother friend try it on a unlocked iPhone running Verizon and the same thing happened to them. They can only use the ublock origin DNS on wifi, but can't use it with their phones mobile network (just like it's happening on my OnePlus 15) but my moto g power with cricket can run it on both wifi and the mobile network. >>108484940
>>108486631Is there a difference between how networks treat imei? Is Verizon a whitelist network/cricket an anything goes network?
>>108485546Do you think cameras will eventually be able to get smaller as all the other parts?
>>108486214For the price of these Poco phones, it seems to me the deal is too could to be true.
>>108486701*too good to be true
>>108486665No, the lens needs either very precise and relatively large glass pieces, or a longer series of components. You end up with either >delicate components that aren't suited for everyday high shock use>tall or long (periscope) lens assemblies that take up a lot of space inside the phone such as the ZTE nubia z70 telephoto stripe>big but fewer components where everything is given a moderate amount of space like current island-centric designWithout sapphire components and much more stable miniaturized mounting solutions there's not a whole lot of improvement available. It's a materials science problem at this point
>>108486637Verizon is a whitelist network for sure, but T-Mobile is a anything goes network and cricket basically is too. It's so weird because we can all use the AdGuard DNS over our mobile networks but the unlock origin one which is the best won't. Unfortunately the unlock origin DNS is t a official part of unlock so no support for this situation.
>>108486776Anyone know a really good DNS ad blocker that works with any network like AdGuard, but does a better job?
>>108486792Try Mullvad or Quad9
>>108486807Thank you! Mullvad works great! This is why I love you guys here! It's because of you anons I dropped Smasnug for better options!Below is the working one I found via the DeGoogle subreddit that everyone says works best for Android extended.dns.mullvad.net

So whats the catch with chinese phones, they cant be just that good ...right?
>>108475853Can they do it without using Samsung displays tho?
>>108475853>Apple is using technology that "reduces the crease without eliminating it entirely."Kek never say I only post stuff that makes iPhones only look good ever again. :)
>>108487795The catch is everyone will know you are poor and likely a pervert by using them. Your peers will judge you harshly and may soon cease to be your peers entirely.

>>108489801 is right, OneUI 6.1.1 and 7 both kind of sucked on my S23U. It hitched and stuttered way more than my Pixel 6 Pro which never did this at all. Fingerprint reader on my Galaxy sucked too

>>108486520>>108486631>>108486637>>108486776>>108486829So T-Mobile web guard was the culprit and disabling it fixed the issue with adding the unofficial ublock origin private DNS.
Anyone else own a redmagic 11 pro and know of a confirmed working dock for monitors? This is the 5th phone I've bought that told me it had display out and it still doesn't work. I'm tired of buying more crap that doesn't work, and yet I still can't find someone to shill me a product even on jewtube.
>>108489942>>108489942>>108489942
>>108489886It really depends on the fingerprint reader in question. Optical is dog shit but modern ultrasonic is practically indistinguishable from a physical reader, and I used to have a phone with a physical fingerprint reader. Best ultrasonic is still in the X90 Pro+.
>>108491622Dock? I dunno. I've had good luck with regular USB C to HDMI cords, and have one (pic related) that has pass-through charging and several USB A ports along with HDMI. But again they are more like cables or dongles and less like docks.
>>108491856>UGREENPersonally I don't trust all these weird Chinese brands because their devices probably have special spy chips in them which send your personal data to the Chinese Communist Party
>>108484078Looking good. I really like my 3a. The upgraded optical zoom on 4a is the biggest gap between the both, for what it seems.
>>108491622You might need to find a dock gamers use with rog and steam decks. Those work very well.
