I have a Oneplus 12r and it's still going strong. Bought it for really cheap like 6-700 canadian, still has enough battery life to go all day without charging.
Fuck your green bubbles get away from me eww
>>108638689>be on /g/>use an iphoneI hope you enjoy being a sheep, paying for an overpriced piece of anti-consumer garbage. Also, I hope you like paying for music, being bombarded with ads and having timcook access to your girlfriend's nudes.
>>108638707>implying android is more private than iosBuddy, Android is just a poor man's iPhone knock off these days. Just use the real thing and grow up.
>>108638768Brother, I used to have a Oneplus 7 pro back in the day, you could literally run Kali Linux(nethunter) on that thing including all the network Aircrack-ng attacks. You can run a custom rom like graphine on androids, if you are not a fan of rooting you can at the very least run a tool like wireshark on your phone and harden it by disabling all the invasive stuff you don't like. It might do you good to browse some threads here before reply nigger.
>>108638682I'm upgrading from a moto g stylus 2022 to a pixel 10a. was going to just get the stylus 2025 for $99 but the 10a was $100 more and it's good for 7 years of updates instead of just 2 for the stylus.

Pixel 10 Prorunning Android Canary 202604It is really nice, tbqh.
just switched from a Samsung S9 to S25+ as some banking apps wouldnt run on S9 due to OS version, S9 worked great for 7 years I had it, S25+ is good so far, got used for 500usd with 256g, everything xferred no problem, all apps also
>>108638807You know we aren't "back in the day". Android was based back then, now its just a bad copy of ios.
>>108638862bullshit. half of the "new" features Apple gives you have been on Android for years.>we are now allowing.... a limited assortment of EMULATORS on the store! *massive clapping from the crowd*>you can now put your icons in any spot on the screen!*clapping reaches a fever pitch*Maybe one day you'll get true multitasking. :^)
>>108638707>paying for an overpriced piece of anti-consumer garbageso every single phone that has a baseband installed? true
>>10863868213 mini, still lasts 2-3 days. No idea how much it cost but I guess 500-600 bucks? Only thing I'd want to change about it is usb c so I can use the same power brick for everything.
>>108638817Based choice my fren, I used to own a pixel 6a, great phones.>>108638820I am not saying buying older used iphones is a dumb decision, I am just saying they are a lazy choice and people who with a heard mentally are stupid enough to spend 2k on the "latest" iphone. Buying an iphone is only justified if you don't use your phone for 12 hours a day like a zoomer and if you use an actual computer for everything and store your private stuff on it.>android flagships cost exactly the same if not more as iphonesDon't buy a samsung brother, there are alot of other cool brands like nothing or google, which are way cheaper and reliable.>get your money up wagie im not buying a chink xiaomiI don't think they can even sell xiaomi stuff in north america. I admit Oneplus is owned by Oppo (a chinese company) but they are way different from their parent company, you can easily disable anything you don't like. Lenovo is also a chinese company but go ask the anons in the thinkpad general what they think about privacy of their laptops, I'd rather have chinese spyware than american spyware. Rule of thumb is to not keep anything too private on your phone. Also, pick a lane buddy..>android flagships cost exactly the same>get your money up wagie
Oneplus 9 with Lineage. Loved it for a while, but the battery started swelling slightly after 2 years, and I just got green lines in my screen. Also they cuck your camera if you don't have their special camera app. Never again. I just ordered a Pixel 10, will be using with Graphene.
I got a Moto G86 last year because my old G8 Power was failing. Satisfied so far.
>>108638682that's not a phone, it's a mobile laptop for google chrome.
>>108638949I use firefox with ublock
>>108638682also got the 12r, not planning to switch anytime soon. 100w charging is beast
>>108638955still glorified html reader (pocket size)
>>108638937Same. It's a good phone.
>>108638965
>>108638921>I am just saying they are a lazy choiceWhich is like half of the point? A normal person doesn't want to spend hours researching on which android phone doesn't drop updates after a year, has some glaring flaw, too much bloatware and so on. With iPhone you can grab w/e shit they are selling at the moment and it will be good enuff and you won't have to ever think about your phone for the next 5+ years.
>>108638891Maybe one day you'll get a blue bubble. No idea what multitasking is but i guess that's something people who don't go to parties do.
>>108638980I know my friend, I would love to give up smartphones and only use my laptop or pc but the reality is every "functioning" human being needs a phone in todays age. Especially, with the shorts/tiktok epidemic it's rotting the brains of all the teenagers, even I am not immune to it. I wish we went back to the nokia era of mobile phones but kept all the current PC technology that we have today, that would be great.
>>108638937I'm really going to miss the chop to activate flashlight feature after I switch off motorola.
>>108639024Okay fair enough, I guess it's fine if you are not an enthusiast and as long as you don't store any noodes on your device. but tell me what laptop do you own?
>>108639035lol nice troll! I really imagined a vapid femcel thot coming to /g/ just to post something like this.
>>108639069>laptopGrandpa, this ain't 2015 anymore. I got an iPad Pro for that niche.
>>108639186I think you are on the wrong website son.And also what niche? storing nudes?
Isn't everyone moving on to linux phones or something.
>>108639289>linux phonesAndroid is linux or do you mean something like Ubuntu touch?
>>108638682thick jelly
>>108639284>And also what niche?Doing anything that doesn't require desktop-tier performance of course.
>>108639325>iPad>desktop-tierNice troll. But just in case you are actually serious tell me what can you do on an ipad that you can't do on a regular iphone?
>>108638707Android is probably worse nowadays. Unless you're installing Graphene or some other privacy respecting OS/ROM
>>108638682redmi note 10 pro stock
>>108638682I use a Samsung Galaxy A25:>256GB/8GB for cheap.>Headphone jack.>MicroSD slot.>AMOLED.>120Hz.I just wish the notch was a punch hole, that the bezels and chin were thinner, and that it didn't overheat so much, probably thanks to the Exynos chip. It's a decent smartphone for the price though, I'm happy with it.
>>108639364>probably worseIt is well known that apple scans all your images/media with AI to detect "CSAM", all to protect the kids since they care about them so much. Just imagine if they are willing to admit that, what else they might be able to do without you knowing. For all we know they might have a database of all the women's breast sizes who have ever used faceid, with rankings of who has the best breast size to face symmetry ratio.
>>108639357Nice reading comprehension, maybe if you had a larger screen, it wouldn't have happened.
>>108638682>>108638965based 1+ bros, I have the 13great camera for the odd pic and yeah 100W really helps, charges up fast and capacity is enough even when only charging to 80%
To every except the iphone users, you guys are based.
>>108639460I was going to get that one but then my mom gave me her old iphoneThe vivo x90 pro was also on the table
I break my phones like a spastic chimp so I've punished myself with a Samsung a14.
>>108638682Pixel 7
>>108638682Oneplus Open
>>108638682Same phone(s) i have been using for the last 15+years.Give me one good reason to change.
>>108641837no bluetooth support for your hearing aids grandpa
>>108638682Moto G32 with LineageOS, mainly just as an experiment. Works great so far! Also flashed a custom recovery.
>>108638682>never settle>for anything less than ccp spywareHow much does china spend on this? Trillions? Just because orange retard in the whitehouse is told by his sino-zionist handlers to give you bolsheviks a pass?
>>108638682I use a Samsung M31 I got for 300 eurobux in 2019. It still runs youtube, whatsapp banking apps and chrome just as well as the day I bought it and that's 99% of my usage, so I just have no reason to change it. The oled screen has some burn in but it is not noticeable. The battery lasts way less now but it' not enough of an issue to justify the switch.I briefly felt like buying the goyphone 17 just to try out an Apple phone for the first time, but even then I just didn't feel the need other than for novelty sake.
>>108639405>>108641929 (me)From the front it is identical to mine kek, but mine is only 60Hz and 64gb, though iirc the battery is bigger.
I have a OP Nord 4 but my next phone will run Graphene. I wish I could convert to a Linux phone (UB Touch or PostMarket with Phosh) but they're not mature enough or have enough hardware support. I'll either buy a used Pixel or the new Motorola that supports Graphene
Second hand iPhone 13 mini. My iPhone 5S died.
>>108638682>Never Settle>settled after the 3T
Not sure if good place to ask but;Currently using an S10+ still works fine haven't had any compatabilty issies with apps yet. Looking upgrade to either a Sony Xperia 1 VI or VII from Hong Kong. Reside in the USA and said model is missing a few bands but the connection can't be that much worst than my 4g phone can it? Also is the VI the better choice of the 2 since it has less of a risk of defects that the VII potentially can have, right?Also I've read that Wifi calling doesn't work out the box in the US and you have to jump through some hoops to enable it along with 5G(no root required). Will the phone be more trouble than it's worth to make functional in the US? Or am I just overthinking things, as the guide seems pretty dummy proof.>https://xdaforums.com/t/vowifi-and-volte-no-root-required-update-its-working-2024.4566313/I really just want a quality phone with minimal to no bloatware and AI features. i don't care much for samsung's services and apps. I was contemplating importing an iphone 17(simcard model) because I've read the CH/HK have a lot of ai features disabled, but I'm not too keen on having to sign up with apple or losing access to a browser with adblockAny other anons with similar desires? What do yoy use and what would you suggest I go with?
>>108642142I wanted a 5 5 but I simply could not justify the sony tax, plus the screen on the 5 series is known to be unreliable.They botched the form factor of the later models so absolutely zero interest in sony now.As for the mobile network thing it's best to see if anyone on the same carrier as you can confirm that it actually works, also be aware that any "fixes" you apply may be invalidated with updates.
>>108638921wow, ur reponse was very respectful. sorry for my rude comments from before>cool brands like nothingeh, their cheaper stuff is good but the flagships feel a bit overpriced imo. also no custom rom support it seems>googlei like pixels but im a bit obsessed with privacy, so id have to install something like graphene os lineage os, which are too inconvenient for me.but yep i have recommended these phones to a lot of people in the past. theyre pretty good.>Oneplus i liked oneplus more back when oxygenOS was still its own thing and not a coloros bloated mess. but yeah, their phones have awesome hardware for reasonable prices (15r for ~450€ on aliexpress)how many years of updates to they give to their phones tho? i checked on gsmarena and it doesnt say anything>Lenovo is also a chinese company but go ask the anons in the thinkpad general what they think about privacy of their laptopsehh i get what youre saying but thats different.
Pixel 8aI've not seen any innovation in smart phones for a decade now so I'm just not interested in flagships.
>>108639324How is the camera on that?
>>108638682Fairphone 6 with >>/e/ OS
ye olde galaxy s9i used to be on t-mobile's (unsustainable and discontinued) "jump on demand" program and changed phones to every new flagship as it came out back in the day, and the s9 was the first one I used that finally felt good enough to stick with in the long term so just bought it out and been riding it ever since.
>>1086386822019 Samsung A70, I've put it together from multiple broken phones, have some jumper wires connecting upper and lower pcb's. I'm kinda proud of it and how big of a shitter it is.
>>108638682Chinese iphone 12 mini. got it for about $100, used chink phone store, new third party screen and battery
I got a fairphone 5 with lineageOS installed. Happy with it :)
>>108641928>muh chinese spywareRetard every phone has spyware.
>>108638682I've got the same one, about 2 years old. Its fine, I get random minor problems put still worth it for the $500 I paid
Motorola Edge 30 Neogot it 2nd hand in very good condition in early 2024 for 120€, so it has served me well for 2 years by now.I got it bc it has stock Android and is relatively compact. Camera is alright, performance is alright, display too, OLED even. And it charges rapidly with 68W, it's full in like 20 min.my gripes with it are that security patches ended last autumn, battery drains quickly and it's not waterproofI'm considering getting an iPhone 16e to replace it bc I just want a somewhat compact affordable phone that just werks and doesn't come with bullshit
>>108638682Help me out Nigels! Saw some chink phones with actual full T9 style keyboard and recent android system. The screen is like 2.7", which is almost an ideal for me. The fucking punchhole and main camera is only 8MP. Also the camera is centered, so the thing wont fucking dance on the table. The name is Duoqin Qin F25.Can I find something similar with better cam?
>>108643725>how many years of updates to they give to their phones tho?Citing their website, that google gemini search thing says: "4 years of major Android OS updates and 6 years of security patches for flagship devices (starting from the OnePlus 13/13R and some 12 series)". Too bad my 12r will stop receiving major updates by feb 2028.>15r for ~450€ on aliexpressCool, I will check it out. I don't know if getting a CN version of the OS is a good idea though, that one is guaranteed to have some ccp spyware in it and I don't know how complicated is it to flash the newer devices with another version of the stock rom.
>>108645403>Android 14 with Google PlayWhy do you need an imitation dumb phone anon? This one can probably do everything a normal android smartphone can. If you are trying to get away from the "tiktoks", you are better off getting a nokia or something or if you are buying this for privacy.. You might wanna visit a doctor first.
What's your guys opinion on Crdroid? It used to be my go to back in the day. It had way more functionality than lineage and it looked more private too but I always suspected it might be compromised since it seemed too good to be true.
Pixel 9 with LOS.
>>108638682xperia 1 vi
>>108638682iphone 17e. i decided to swap over since my last two android phones (pixel 9 and galaxy s22) were terrible. i've been liking it a lot so far and the battery life is so much better than the god damn pixel.
>>108646265Nope, I already have a dumbphone. I constantly have to walk during the winter with the smartphone which does not register finger touches in my usual mittens and I do not want to freeze my hands. Physical buttons will always be superior to shitty touchscreens.The punchhole camera is bearable here, can be taped over, business as usual. The shitty main camera is the only deal breaker.
I use a Moto G 5G 2024. I picked this phone because the last 3 namebrand phones I bought (Samsung Galaxy S21, Pixel 8, and Pixel 9) all had hardware issues that lead them to early deaths. I figured if these companies are selling pieces of shit anyways, I might as well just get the cheapest piece of shit.This phone has held up better than any of the previous 3 phones I posted. It runs LineageOS, and is more than enough for what I need. (web browsing, OSRS mobile, and my banking app)It's slower than any of the 3 flagships I owned before, but honestly, its fast enough. Camera was the biggest downgrade, but I sort of knew that going in, and I'm not the type that uses the camera very much anyways.
>>108643736not great, you can take pictures of documents, i guess they're alright in nice light, nothing more, and better have non shaking hand
>main sensor >= 1/1.5">selfie sensor >= 1/2.7" with autofocus>e-sim support>price below €500It doesn't feel like it should be that hard, and yet...
>>108642001I also have the OP Nord 4. Bought it after my Xperia 1 IV shit the bed. Actually surprised by how much I like it. I thought that this would be a significant downgrade since the Sony horn was 3x the price at launch. But, a pleasant surprise, build quality is excellent, it's just as fast, the camera is *ahem... fine, the battery life is really good and the charging rate is amazing. Honestly, it almost feels like "the flagship killer" in the sense that, I'm not going to get 3x or even 2x the phone if I pay that much more. I'll ride this thing until the wheels fall off and then probably get another OP Nord phone or some other mid-ranger because I don't really understand what you get for $1000 that you don't get for $400.
>>108638862you got it wrongios is just a bad copy of android these daysworse apps, worse design language, worse functionality, bad all around.
P10Pro with Graphene, the only non-faggy phone OS. The phone is not bad, but it's nothing to write home about. Graphene is fantastic, however.
13 mini I will probably get a 17e unless Apple or someone else makes a new small phone (unlikely)
>>108651839My previous phone was a Nord 2 which I really liked, but unfortunately the Nord 6 looks like a step backwards and OP might not exist in 4-5 as we know it today
>>108638682I bought a used Pixel 8a and slapped GrapheneOS on it
