Top Ten Selling Smartphones Globally Q1 2026 https://counterpointresearch.com/en/insights/global-smartphone-sales-top-10-best-sellers
>>109089382for the very simple reason of utter decimation of everything it spent the entire Galaxy S legacy (12y+) perfecting>stagnant hardware upgrades after s20x (still stuck on USB 3.2, DP 1.4, 45W wired, no 8K out, let alone normie concerns like camera modules not upgraded / battery capacity not upgraded for x years)>headphone jack removal from s10 5g onwards>SD card slot removal after s20x>Windows-fied New DeX replacing perfected old DeX>Accessibility trashed (call recorders no longer working, HWstats overlays broken (e.g. GPUWatch), etc.)>relentless cost-cutting/profitmaxxing crusade on component quality, manufacturing QC, SWdev, and SW testing, resulting in unrectifiable thermal throttling (despite muh ""sterling silver heatsink""), spontaneous loss of connectivity, self-igniting batteries, green lines, and other unsavory shit i don't see in my generation (and couldn't help but laugh at)this also applies to other smartphone brands, more or less the same for the whole industry.s20u5g is 5yo and going strong. 5G is expected to be terminally deprecated, i.e. 5G equipment dismantling/repurposing, around 2035-2040. i plan to keep it until the very, very end. maybe we'll have coin-sized 7G hotspots or some shit and i can keep it for longer, who knows, i rotate entry-levels for pozzed banking / utilities payments every 8y+ anyway (currently on a07 5g).
can't wait for motorola to release their graphene compatible phonepixels are such pieces of shit anything would be better to use than that
>>109090112Qrd?
>>109090327https://www.androidauthority.com/grapheneos-motorola-partnership-announced-3645710/graphene coming to motorola (not out of the box) next yearnot much info about it except at least one of their flagships will be compatible, hopefully it will perform decently enough to encourage other phone makers to follow suit?
>>109090374Nice. Supporting more devices beyond Pixel will be a good thing for Graphene.I can't wait a year for a phone though. Can't use Graphene either because I need the Google Play DRM bullshit for app support.I think when I get a new phone I'll probably flash Graphene on my old Pixel as a backup phone though. The way the UK government is going lately I'm not confident phones here will remain free and open for much longer so it'll be good to have a Plan B.
>>109090470>GrapheneBut why does this exist? You're literally turning your smartphone into a brick, where 80% of it doesn't work due to the lack of google services, plus not a single banking app works.
>>109090550Turning it into a brick is the point. Google Play Services is basically a remote "make your phone shitter" service built in to every Android phone.Graphene is essentially the nuclear option for if you want a phone free from government interference.
>>109090550>banking apptry using a computer sometime you dumb zoomernobody needs any fucking apps for any reason
>>109090601My bank doesn't even have branches, there's no web version, just an app on phone, and it doesn't work without google services.
>>109090616Get better bank service.HSBC allows both mobile banking and browser banking.
>>109087853This is a deliberate and malicious lie designed to ruin every person's chance here of finding a girlfriend. Unironically you should be identified for this post and put to death.
>>109090651>every person's chance here>hereYou've been on /spg/ for far too long, fattie. Go away
>move to iphone 17>realize my retardationOnePlus 15R arrived, but it's unwieldy in my manlet hands; 6.3in is the sweet spot. I see 2 options for 512gb (local music autism): samshit or pixjeet. Leaning towards pixel 9/10 pro when they inevitably go on sale.
>>109090651They think you are me kek. I enjoy how the troll kid thinks everyone is me and is obsessed with always posting about me. I literally only posted facts about smartphones and the kid can't handle it and I live rent free in they/thems mind. So worth it and that's why I'm staying here. :)
>>109090595Grapehene doesn't stop your phone from being spied on though, you don't own the network towers or have access to what the network provider is logging. They see everything and do report it to the government.
Japan still makes 5g phone with windows phone ui.
>>109090973Now let's check what smartphones the Japanese predominantly purchase :)
>>109090882You could try not speak in tribalism for once. Your post sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>109091028Well your posts always have incorrect grammar so I know what you are.
>>109090998Why do you brown "people" always try to turn everything into culture war?It's quite weird.
>>109090601my broker is forcing me to use an app to authenticate my desktop session :(
>>109090887In the same way an ISP does not know "everything you do", and there are always methods of obfuscating your internet traffic and routing it elsewhere, similar methods exist on phones. Some even go as far to only use carriers for texting/calling, and use wifi for everything else. Some don't even have a carrier.Most carriers will still know where you are physically and who you text/call, so it's a good idea to not enable cellular connectivity 24/7, and not use it for sensitive communication.This is all very preferable to a Samsung phone, or apple phone, where there is no control nor auditability for the on-device software. If you wanted to stop Samsung from knowing what you're doing, you'd be hard pressed to have an actionable plan to do so.
>>109091374Grapehene doesn't stop you from being spied on, imagine thinking grapheneOS will stop spy agencies from doing what they do. I'm glad you like to fantasize about such a fake world, but I live in reality. Snowden already proved graphene is a meme.
the baker they post all over /g/>>109050317apple is not indi*n, but samsung is.>open factory in 2019 and experience a steady decline in quality controlSamsung operates the worlds largest smartphone factory in ind*a though so stop your absolutely ridiculous attempt at pinning the iPhone as ind*an.
>>109091483good morning saaryour indian corp was literally founded at one infinite loo
>>109091393>Snowden already proved graphene is a meme.What are you talking about? Snowdin says iToys are memes, not grapheneOS.https://xcancel.com/Snowden/status/1175430722733129729

>>109091556Pulled from r/GrapheneOS hmmmm seems like I was right yet again and the opinion posting troll children were wrong as usual.
>>109091556I do not have a Twitter account, it is incredibly difficult for me to search through his tweets. This particular tweet I found from an article. If you'd like to post a more recent tweet denouncing grapheneOS, be my guest. These are his words I am posting directly, you are referencing quotes you have yet to provide.>>109091565>minor spelling mistake
>>109091650All smartphones have backdoors otherwise they don't pass fcc checks to be allowed for sale. Many other fake checks are made by governments so they can always spy on you via the backdoors. Grapehene is a meme. >>109091618
>>109091618>having 99% privacy isn't as good as 100% privacy, so you may as well use spyPhone and spyOS with 0% privacynot falling for it iSaar
>>109091658>hardware level backdoorsI hear this very frequently, do you have any proof? I am very concerned about this, but as far as I'm aware most of the ones that have been discovered exist for physical access rather than anything remote. Please let me know if you find any hardware backdoors in a Pixel/Motorola phone that could be executed remotely, this is my #1 concern! >>109091677This pertains to Google's software, of which very little is used on grapheneOS. The grapheneOS project itself has little to no telemetry, most of Google's spying on GrapheneOS users happens when they first get the phone and connect to Google to unlock the bootloader. Beyond this, grapheneOS's version of android has been stripped of most spyware that would be included with the majority of android distributions. And of course, the project itself publishes source code so that it could be audited to not contain such spyware. Apple, on the other hand, has become an ad company and releases no source code for their phones. They are effectively not auditable at such an in-depth level.
>>109091722You were proven wrong. Your opinions without any sources and facts behind them are just fake gossip tier posting. Changing goal posts as usual after getting proven wrong.
>>109091735>Changing goal posts as usualI am not >>109091659 if that's what you mean. We can examine your post as well, of which no information from it pertains to grapheneOS. GrapheneOS does not send your location to Google, it does not contain a "Google assistant", it does not use "google chome" and it does not utilize a Google account.Is your name really sanjay?
>>109091616I saw something about 15T/15s limited to China/asian countries. Isn't it a dice roll whether you'll have issues with your countries' network?
>>109091823Sanjay is a beautiful name, my apologies. Not an argument, just surprised Indians really do use /g/. And surprised they use apple too. The memes really are true.
>>109091772we know you don't read anything kid, all you post is made up fake news. dalit tier poster kek.>>109091803cope>>109091823thats not me how cringe, I am not named Sanjay lol no italians are. >>109091855this is you though >>108925687
>>109091556Snowden is now a Russian political prisoner so don't take anything recent he says too seriously. Historical posts from 2019 are probably more accurate than whatever the Kremlin has him saying today.
>>109091895Cope and completely made up opinion post, typical of this thread.
>>109091907Yes, I'm sure this is just cope:https://x.com/lukOlejnik/status/2065132968616636915You need to be careful with what Snowden says today because they might not be his own words. If he goes delulu and says the iPhone and Samsung are more private than Graphene then make sure you consider his circumstances and take that with a very large does of salt.
>>109091907Cope and completely seething cringe post, typical of Sanjay.

Top Ten Selling Smartphones Globally For 2024 & 2025
Sup sp/g/oblins. What’s a good companion phone (secondary device) to an iPhone 17? My budget is maybe around $550 on the high end but I really want to get the highest value overall, and closer to $300 or less would be nice. Use case: A second phone to put some old numbers on since I’m going through all of my old 2FA’s and changing them to my new number but I don’t want to be locked out of anything while I transition over. Shit is annoying but that’s life. Bonus points if it’s Apple since I can keep my old logins on it and my new logins on my new phone. If it’s Android I can probably benefit from edge cases where the Google Wallet NFC shit works and Apple Pay doesn’t, or maybe slight differences in available software and support. Between iOS and Android, which is better at juggling multiple numbers and spam calls, and phone call management in general? I think I do prefer an iPhone but I only see the iPhone 12 64gb for $280 at Best Buy which feels expensive for such an old device. They have 14’s for $400, and Pixel 10a for $500 which is close to the most I’m comfortable spending on this as a secondary device. After I’m done juggling phone numbers for 2FA it will basically be a backup phone for when I don’t have coverage on my main one or some other added benefit such as if my main phone breaks and I still need email access.ChatGPT suggests:Moto G Stylus 5g $200 newPixel 8a $265 refurbGalaxy A35 5G $360I just need to be able to buy it at Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart or Target basically
Is there any app that can bulk rename files to standard epoch time down to microseconds?
>>109092957for android btw
How can I make my phone feel less boring? There don't seem to be any really game-changing apps or features happening these days, just muh camera muh battery muh screen. AI integration is the closest thing and even that feels blase now

Holy fuck just switched to a IPhone16 from an 8 and everything is worse the spell check the cut off corners of the screen the way you access tabs the way reachability works the way saving photos works it’s all worse and the iPhone 8 can’t run Microsoft Teams & a bunch of other important business apps so I’m fucked it’s literally just enshitification with a nicer camera EXCEPT the camera AI smooths the artifact in in dark photos so THE CAMERA SUCKS TOOFUCK MODERN TECH

>>109095095if you dont need powerful, anything with an "a" after it is going to be best value. i'd pick a pixel 8/8a/8pro or newer.heres the official RECOMMENDED list (which is seperate from the supported list)https://grapheneos.org/faq#recommended-deviceskeep in mind, using google play services will drain your battery more, and try to enable battery charge limiting very early on. for me, the 8a is enough.
>>109095050>no Googleandroid was developed by google, non-android linux is still not widely supported on most phones.>no closed-sourcereplicant phones were the closest you could get, but even then the modem itself had proprietary firmware. plus, they only supported 3g and are now being phased out.watch out for https://librephone.fsf.org/ as the FSF attempts to reverse engineer as much as they can.every phone, even with custom roms, will still have firmware and driver blobs.>no tracking>no spywareall OEM roms have some amount of tracking and spyware, some custom roms can solve parts of the issue, but some of it is from the carrier. imagine if your isp forced you to use the included router all day.>no adsmost phones can have their ads removed.>no Israeli parts in the supply chainit would be unrealistic to guarentee this of any phone>no FBI cooperationgood luckno phones will provide all of these. absolutely COOKED.

>>109090595>>109095397How do push notifications work without google services? Are they just like on chinese phones, with a delay of several hours, or don't work at all? For example, bitwarden's push notifications don't work without boogle services.

>>109095979I don't like the idea of turning a smartphone into a brick that can't do anything except make calls. It's better to buy a cheap phone with buttons that were in use 30 years ago. Of course, I miss the size of my old Nokia 5310, but after 6.9" screen, I don't even feel comfortable picking up the old sony z1 compact.
