Bless you baker and hopefully we can all share knowledge and discuss smartphones in peace without the negativity and fanboy mentality. :)
>>108551349nice baker and very chill OP image
poco won
>>108551793>$414 burgerbucksdude wtf
>>108551801fym unknown?
>>108551349My old Redmi Note 10 Pro display went dead so I decided to get a new phone after 5 years. What the FUCK is going on in 2026? Almost no phones with headphone jacks, power button fingerprint readers, sd cards etc. I don't care about MUH FASTER CPU (gaming on a phone is peak cringe) or MUH BEST CAMERA, I want actual features that I use daily for a modest price (fuck off Xperia 1). The only phone I could get to fit all the criteria was the Moto G56, no LineageOS support and stock Android is kinda ugly, but it's cheap and decent imo.
>>108552359Use the Phone Finder in OPspoilers: Sony is the only brand with those antique features. Luckily they usually have decent LineageOS support.Cheap (overpriced) option: Xperia 10 VIIExpensive (overpriced) option: Xperia 1 VIIPrevious generations had a Xperia 5 variant but not the VII generation. It was just a bit smaller than the 1.
>>108552359poco f5 has jack and power button fp + plenty of official roms including official lineage
Crazy news about 3Dmark delisting the Red Magic 11 Pro for faking benchmark results. Geekerwan was right. More brands are going to be removed soon too.
>>108553614Pretty wild for sure, but I just never found 3dmark gameplay to be very compelling. Always preferred playing games myself
>>108553626Dude if you aren't running benchmarks and stress tests 24/7 are you even using your phone?You need the latest top of the line chipset so you can run these benchmarks.
pixel 10a vs pixel 9 (maybe 10?)
If SiC batteries are a joke, then which phone has the best battery in 2026?
>>108553745costs twice as much almost
>>108553738Why would they be a joke? Because they lose endurance over time? LiPo does the same thing, there's tons of 85% battery health phones on the market after just a year of usage.
Why can't GrapheneOS be on snoy phones. Why why why why
>>108553795Because SONY isn't SECURE™ enough so GrapheneOS and Daniel Micay had to personally harass every Sony employee while simultaneously claiming they were the ones being harassed.Informative and unfortunate.
My POCO F5 received its last big update, HyperOS 3.0, still on Android 15 but not like it matters Phone has never failed me since I got it, and the headphone jack engulfes me with its warm
>>108553822Think I made the right choice by getting a phone with 12GB of RAM
>>108554037Imagine the level of advancement we would be in if Huawei was still allowed to operate in the US
>>108553792No idea what that anon is talking about. It's still a little too soon to tell. SOT on my OP 13 isn't quite what it used to be, but battery health is at 99% almost a year into having it and I use the fast charging all the time. I'm more curious how first gen Si/C batteries from a few years ago are holding up today.
>>108554069nobody bought huawei in the US also nobody gives a shit about US market
>>108554086>Flexglass It's plastic. Google told the same lie about their 10 Pro Fold being glass when it wasn't. Someone needs to sue them for false advertising.
>>108554605Why did you include Iceland?
>>108554654That's the resident spammer, anything to make Apple look good even if you have to include irrelevant nations like Iceland lmao. That's the 9th time that particular image and text had been posted since March 22nd.
>>108554678Oh it's that guy? Been a while since I've been on this generalCan't believe he's still sperging out
>>108554870Lurk more, spam less.
>>108554878Post more about smartphones and less posts about your opinions on people
Europe, need a smartphone under 600 euros for my mom. She cares about the camera and good screen. Battery and performance are low on the list since she only uses youtube and whatsapp and stays home most of the time. Should I just get a pixel? So hard to figure out what camera is the best. Pixel 9? Pixel 10a?
>>108553164>>108553745>>108554037>>108554086>>108554605>>108554716>>108554838The hell happened here?
>>108555262The 9 and 10a do not have a telephoto lens, but the regular 10 does, along with the Pro models obviously. Might be over your budget though. It makes a huge difference, you really notice it if you don't have it.
>>1085552629 pro had the best camera, I got my 9 pro xl for 900aud which is about than many euros
>>108551349Smartphones hit a wall They can not be made better within the size constraints they make them except for a bigger more ridiculous camera bump on the back, I would not spend any money on a new phone if I didn't absolutely need another one
Where are the good phones?
>>108553822And as a bonus, it sends all your personal data to the Chinese Communist Party. What a deal!
>>108555262Pixels look decent to me although I've never tried one in person. Alternatively there's Samsung. E.g. you can get the Galaxy A57 for 530 euros:https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Samsung-Smartphone-Intelligence-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B0GMWJXS4M
>>108555786I removed all that garbage as soon as I got itEither way, all phones do that
>>108555956my iphone doesnt
>>108555262all iphones have great cameras, its still the "photography" phone
>>108553614 but that news broke a month agowhatever happened there?
itoddlers btfo
>>108556009cheating is chinese culture, did you really think chinese academic performance is real?
>>108552359I'm just like you. All roads lead back to sony. Huawei is the only better choice but you can't use it in the US.
>>108555990Sweet summer child
>>108553738poco f8 pro/ultra
>>108555956I would guess that Chinese phones are much more likely to hand your personal data to China than American phones, or South Korean phones, or European phones, or Taiwanese phones, or Japanese phones, etc.
>>108556009So far 3dmark is the only one to do something about it and all of Geekerwans videos about it were censored by the local Chinese government for exposing them
>>108556319All phones are, by definition, revealing information about youThis is no secret or conspiracy
>>108556316he probably doesnt post his usual spam anymore since it would be an insta-ban for him
>>108556377If you go to any thread with a apple product or mention in the OP the anon who spams Apple hate on /g will usually be there posting the same stuff they post here.Interesting videos that don't break the board rules. Hope you all enjoy facts backed up by sources and links. :)Interesting how the iPhone was leading, followed by the s25 ultra in second and shockingly the s26 ultra in the the third spot.https://youtu.be/8UGwNBJseKo?si=na207Qv8K-fPSY33Battery Test Video for the S26 Ultra vs the iPhone 17 Pro Max!https://youtu.be/Xqbg6j3SPjk?si=okJdzbDxKSiKk8uGanother battery test comparison video of a iPhone 17 Pro Max, Pixel 10 Pro XL and a S26 Ultra.

>>108556359>by definitionSurely the only information revealed by a phone "by definition" is your voice, revealed to the person you're speaking to on a phone call.
>>108556422no reasonable person cares about minimaxing performanceif youre poor, you get the poor people phoneif you want an iphone, you buy an iphoneeveryone has their own reason to buy a phonemy reason was simple, i buy an iphone just because i want an iphone
I have an unlocked S23ultra that an old job bought me years ago. I just broke the screen from having it in a bag with hard objects, again, exactly one year out of warranty from the last screen repair and battery replacement. It's like $300, do I bite the bullet and pay for it because this is still a really good pone and I'm too autistic to deal with it cracked.
>>108556316Truth Nuke
>>108555786Oh no it sends my data to the CCP instead of the FBI, CIA and NSA.
>>108555829>A57 for 530 eurosholy fucking lol
>>108556579if you have no phone right now, would you spend $300 and buy a second hand s23u, or go for some poco?
>>108551349last august i upgraded from an a52 5g to a s25+. it works, it's fine. the camera is real nice and it's a good bit faster, but is that it? am i missing some killer feature that justifies the 1000eur price tag? it's not really about the money my old phone was almost as good as this one for a quarter of the price.
>>108557784>is that it?yes, welcome to modern phones. and shills on here will defend it too, calling you poor
Thanks to the anon who recommended me the moto G86 power. It arrived today. Much better than the dying Redmi.
>>108557722Wrong. Try to watch the video and post what the creator actually said instead of lying. >>108544030
>>108556422Based, add this to the list.Cool comparison video of the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The winner was shocking.https://youtu.be/dArUxUgsSeo?si=e40vZnWFBime5O9h
>>108557784yeah smartphones are in good enough spec territory and now the only thing that makes a difference are checklist features like sim/esim/microsd support, satellite compatibility, notch vs no notch, headphone jack, how badly a foldable screen will crease, and where the speakers are
>>108558754Why aren't you posting about smartphones like the person you're lying and complaining about? Stay on topic. Those links are great too. :)
>>108558006so glad I bought a iphone 17 pro max. the cameras really great.
Day 12 of owning a ulefone armor 29>phone feels normal in my hands>fingerprint reader works too well>after having Samsung phones for a decade there is actually some things I miss. The gallery app felt less intrusive compared to the "photos" app that's always one click away from uploading everything >I now get questioned every day about it>120w charging is kinda scary desu don't know how other phones cope without exploding >thermal camera has gotten some use finding another missing engine cylinder >update screen had spelling and grammar issues in english>original shipped firmware was a beta android 15 build, after updates it's now a release version
Really enjoying my POCO X8 Pro Max. If anyone is curious about it, the reviews are mostly on point. Everything is great aside from the camera. But I don't take photos anyways. Battery life alone makes it worth it.
>>108556902Agreed>>108559120Ew
>>108559186Fr this
>>108553735pixel 9 > pixel 10a > pixel 10
>>108559655accounting for the price? pixel 10a has much better battery than the other 2
My redmi 9 slowed just after a year and still runs terrible. Never buying xiaomi or similar brand again, terrible and heavy software that doesn't even have important features, which unfortunately only leaves me with samsung because sony left and everyone else died.
>>108559120cant really justify an SiC-ACK battery yet
Why are some people so anal about POCO phones?Is it because in the US your only options are Apple and Samsung?
>>108560587What type of low tier bait post is this? I can import any phone I want in the United States and I can pick multiple different carriers that it's going to work on. My Red Magic 11 Pro and OnePlus 15 both were purchased directly from their official websites that shipped from local US warehouses. Of course any brand would wanna tap into our huge consumer market. Do you think people only go to carrier stores to buy their phones? Do you think people in the United States can't shop online? Also poco is a mid ranger masking as something better, of course many of us on a tech enthusiast board prefer gadgets that are WAY better.
>>108560587Case in point>>108560639
>>108560587i made the mistake of believing the poco bullshit bought a c71 because im a broke neet to replace an old s9fucking garbage. camera is total dogshit. like beyond bad blury and fake ai smeared. cant make out simple details at 3ft away and the wosrt feature is the phone speaker is on the fucking top pointing up. so you cant hear shit and its like being on speakerfone all the time so everybody can partake in yo buznus and be annoyed bad chinkshit is bad
>>108560910>c71hahahahahahahahaha retard
>>108560639>importthats exactly his point, normalfags dont do this. in europe poco is available at the local store
>>108560910>I bought a $80 phone and its badwow, shocking
>>108561475OnePlus is available at local Best Buy stores here in the USA and like I said before we can order any phone online and it works on our cellular networks. That other anon said only Apple and Samsung phones are available in the USA which is wrong on so many levels. Everyone mostly shops online, physical stores are antiquated.
>>108561483yah fuck me for thinking new shit at the hundo price point would be equivalent to a decade old commodity samsungmea culpa

Any flip phones that are actually dumbphones, or as close to being dumbphones as they come in the present market? From what I've seen, the most minimal a "dumbphone" will get is just running KaiOS, which I've heard is a piece of shit. I don't care for applications or any features, I just want a good, reliable, inexpensive, high-capacity battery (time scale of days) flip phone with good call quality. Preferably able to network unlock and root it too. I made a note of it being inexpensive, but I also don't want it feeling liek a cheap piece of Temu plastic chinkshit; I just don't want to overpay for what seems to be a "privilege" to use anything other than a smartphone. I'm not looking for distraction-free gimmicky bullshit. I believe it's worth noting that I'm an Amerishart, and that my network doesn't have coverage for anything lower than 4G, so older models that would have sufficed, are out of the question. For those with experience, what are the TCL Flip 3/4, or Nokia 2720 like?
>>108557809>Android 15, upgradable to Android 16It came out last year and is on its way out this year. Shouldn't you buy a flagship that promises 7 updates?
>>108563078With that last point, I should note that I'm looking for adjacent/modern counterparts to those models, as I'm also concerned with security; anything that isn't receiving security updates is off the table.

New iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max and the iPhone Fold dummy models are officially arriving at case makers facilities.
>>108563664does the fold have a crease?
>>108563670plastic will have a crease after folding it, yes
>>108562910>>108562892>>108562860>>108563664See >>108561705
>>108563670>>108563698The Oppo n6 has no crease, but the iPhone Fold supposedly will have a small crease like the Galaxy Fold 7.
>>108563721that video has a new(-ish) phone, it will have a crease
>>108563846During the Oppo Find N6 reveal they unboxed a brand new Galaxy Fold 7 and folded it closed for 1 minute while doing the same with the Oppo. After opening both only the N6 had no crease. I wonder why I am the only one posting about the Oppo Find N6 here and also constantly sharing information about other brands too all while being accused of not helping spread information here and some say I'm a Apple only poster while I own more android phones irl.
>>108563933>1 minutethats not the win you think it is
>>108563933That's a really nice phone irlToo bad it will age like milk like all other foldables do because of its plastic screen and on top of that, it's Si-C battery
Anyone tried PocoX8 on USA networks?
