Is the Xiaomi 15T Pro any good? Wonder if 1TB is overkill. Im a hoarder but its better if I move stuff to a harddrive once in a while.
Anons with Unihertz phones, what model do you have and can it run Arknights Endfield?
How are the haptics on the Oneplus Nord 5? Compared to more expensive devices, that is. Most reeviews either ignore them or have very diverging opinions on their quality.

Does /g/ honestly buy phones and not put custom ROMs on them? If you bought a phone from Xiaomi how could you be reasonably sure they aren't sending a live camera feed directly to Jinping's office? I used my friends Samsung phone the other day and they showed me the phone forcibly installed both Microsoft Onedrive and Facebook and didn't let them uninstall either. Surely ALL stock ROMs on ALL manufacturers are filled with bloat, spyware and backdoors, even after using the debloater scripts?
>>108909541>If you bought a phone from Xiaomi how could you be reasonably sure they aren't sending a live camera feed directly to Jinping's office?because it's data, it would show on my plan

>>108909744I am thinking about buying a S24 Ultra new if I can find it just because it looks good, but the S25 Ultra is just that much of an improvement that it seems hard to justify it. Also phone prices in my country are a bit stupid.

>but but iOS is Le Walled GardenIgnore the lying kids itt, you can install ANY ipa files and side load as well without a PC and get permanent e-sign certificates so the apps keep running. No 7 days fugazzi fantasy scenarios happen. https://youtu.be/FsFX_VGhcGc?si=uG6jpn6NXShH7nr8
I am completely foreign to the jailbreak scene for appleshitAny good pastebins or shit?
>>108912402No need to jailbreak anymore. Look into side loading using sideloadly or others and after you can get ad free apps.
>>108912209Phone still ships with proprietary apps and system that cannot be uninstalled or changed. Default map app has ads in it. Still no FOSS app store like F-Droid. Still has a locked bootloader, still has a file browser that doesn't work and intentionally won't show you system files. Apple security policy is "trust me bro" and shares almost no source code to verify their claims, the phone could be filled with backdoors and constantly sending your data away and you'd be none the wiser. Apple still sends updates to the phone that intentionally slow it down over time to "save battery life". Solve these issues and I will use an iphone. I have done jailbreaks, developer app loading, everything from iphone 4 all the way to iphone 8. Every iphone I have used has had no good apps, and self destructed within a few phone releases. Developer friends tell me now the same issues still exist, and that they have to disable updates to get a usable experience so the phone doesn't shit itself.
Ignore the person posting fantasy stories and scenarios as usual and what's funny is normies have been side loading for a while, they even got their own little subreddit. It's very easy. I got ad free Spotify, ad free YouTube and Rockstar game ipa files running no issues for months.

well i just fucked up my chinkphone to the point i dont think its repairableis the pixel 10a the 'best' budget thats not shit?i dont really care about the camera, i just use it for x and banking

>>108918913these all cost the same or more in canada
I ended up buying an Honor 600 Pro heavily discounted. Call me crazy but I've always like MagicOS, but it is getting more and more iOS-ey.
>>108918901Best is a relative term, but I would recommend the 10a as a mid-range choice. >>108919232You disHonor your famiry
so i bought a NIB Pixel 8Pro on eBay. I was a bit skeptical about the seller claiming to be in Texas, shipping from Cali, and the business being based in China.Anyway, I got the phone. It does appear to be NIB and the box quality matches my other Google devices, and the IMEI checks outUpon opening the phone, I see there is a serial number sticker on the back, from my experience, this is usually on a refurb item.2nd there are a few minor scuffs on the back of the phone.So what is this?is there a way to check if its a refurb?
>>108918576>complaining about moderationBannable offense. You'd know that if you bothered to lurk more before making it your life's work to spam /spg/.>>108919386How would a refurb be different than a new phone? The IMEI would be the same, the only thing that makes it "refurbished" is some dude factory resetting it and maybe checking the hardware works.If there are any scuffs it's probably a used phone, whether it is an open box or "refurbished" is impossible to tell.
>>108920024nta but they are still right, clearly is a mess in here and way off track from smartphone or tech topics of discussions
>>108920155You’re making EVERYTHING up. The baker is a HUGE Samsung fan which is obvious of the “Try a real OS on your iToy” they always bake into the OP which also always has an Apple flamewar image. I am not the baker. I post smartphone information here and I don’t “spam” and it’s funny you complain about me the one anon who consistently posts new stuff about Android and iOS without any fake sources too. Hmmmmm wonder why you’re posting fake scenarios? Typical.

Currently using a Galaxy S23FE but thinking of moving to a Pixel 9a with Graphene. Is it retarded or still an upgrade? I'm a europoor and can't afford the latest Pixel models even with trade in. Heard about battery overheating being a problem with pixel too, but also seen people refuting it. Ideas?
>>108920273I had three pixels (7 pro, 8 pro and 9 pro xl) and all of them were actually pretty decent no complaints. I think you’ll like the pixel 9a. i had a s24 ultra and a s25 ultra prior as well.

last year my friend gave me his Pixel 9 pro fold. He said he in prefers a regular slab phone and barely used the inner screen. I use it for about a year and also find myself not really using the inner screen. Apparently the 9 fold has a hardware defect of the ribbon cable having a chance of detaching from the battery when you open it. Google apparently gave some 9 fold owners extended warranty because of this. I went to the Google store and they replaced it with a brand new Pixel 10 fold for free. /G/entlemen, how long will this phone be last?
