Here's the latest iOS 27 with the latest Siri ai VS the latest Galaxy ai (Gemini ai). I'll provide a link too unlike you. You can use the link to watch the video to see the before and after results and it's not even close the new Siri AI beats the Gemini AI in photo and video editing. Google messed up the parking lot lines for the parking spaces, it also messed up the guy's eyes when removing glasses, it also messed up removing his hand holding the laptop and finally it was not able to remove the entire shelf against the wall. There's a reason you always purposely never upload the latest flagships and you have to nitpick Old articles and old smartphone comparisons. Too easy. :)https://youtu.be/d5wocIfmNbM?is=pe-m70UutkI313Tp
my snca experience after using my iphone for 3 monthspros>consistent UI>updates worth getting excited about>stable, experienced less bugs than on android>the taptic engine is A GEM, makes the phone feel more premium>in-app camera works properly, unlike on most android phones>more private than stock android>icloud+ is actually pretty good>airdrop just works, unlike googles quick sharebad>i miss niagara launcher... i miss it a lot>sideloading apps sucks>pirating is harder>the ios keyboard is meh>cant access the iphones storage through a windows pc>third party password managers dont work as well as the one from apple>every browser uses webkit>no unlimited google photos :(>no split tunneling for vpni dont think ill go back to android for now. my experience with the iphone hasnt been as bad as some people say it is here.one of the reasons of why i switched was because of privacy. ios is a good middleground between stock android and grapheneos in terms of convenience

Besides the obvious flagship phones, what could I upgrade to from Poco f5? I saw new releases have worse hardware than this phone while costing the same price as released price of this phone.
Behold, a stupid idea!gonna turn my flip 5 with a broken front screen into a non flip phoneit even comes with an entire body Can a retard without phone repair experience solve this mystery? Find out in the next Episode: "Waiting for the ifixit tools"
Hello, I'm xiaomi ricer. Recently I had poco me and m6 but both died relatively quickly. The current local meme linux admin meta is Motorola Moto g86 power. Is it really that good if I need a phone to tinker with termux kali while on the bus stop, never charge my phone during pogo sessions and store my 10gb collection of memes and photos from conferences??Basically, looking for motobomba of 2026, after poco went to trash.
>>109381902Who gives a shit about photo editing? I have never edited a photo on my phone and I never will. Is this the best Apple shills can do?
>>109381493Get the S25, it's the lightest one they made so far.
>>109381999>>consistent UIHow can you say that with a straight face? The iOS settings is completely convoluted. There is no way a fresh user would ever find anything in there.
>>109382588How many years did it take Apple to get there? I think in the end, they just gave up and bought the smarts from OpenAI. Apple is embarrassing. And now every Apple shill does an about face and starts praising the AI like Apple just invented it. Apple users are retarded. Your iPhone isn't going to get significantly better until Apple feels the heat from customers. If you idiots keep buying the same phone every year, that's what Apple is going to sell to you. The exact same phone, just a little bit more expensive.Samsung does the exact same thing, btw.
>>109382610Are you too stupid to understand polysyllabic words?
>>109382545Anyone? Motorola is new nuche stuff, not much experience with it. Also hard to judge quality by bullet points and I cannot afford a phone every 2 years in my 3rd workd place.
>>109381999How do third party password managers not work as well as appples? In my experience by default they work better than an on android
I have an s10, is there anything I can get for cheap that's an upgrade? I don't care about camera quality. Only reason I'm getting a new phone is because the screen broke. I really just need it to run syncthing and tachiyomi.

>>109381999>third party password managers dont work as well as the one from appleWhat is the issue? I’ve been using Bitwarden with no issues whatsoever. Even passcodes work, which I expected Apple to cockblock in their usual fashion.
Are si-carbon batteries a meme?They apparently are short lived.
Poco have more and better features and I'm used to that. Motorola seems solid but has less features, and I may miss the ecosystem.It's a hard choice. Features checklist does not cover actual quality and usage.

>>109381457Is the Poco m8s a good phone in the $200~ range? I like the white color.
>>109382594I honestly had 0 issues finding stuff lol>>109382669>>109383017I've used both Bitwarden and Proton Pass, most times I had to manually look for the login info because it wouldn't automatically appear on the keyboard.It's also not possible to save in-app credentials automatically.>>109383407I know iOS isn't private, but it's better in this regard than stock Android by a long shot.

>>109385049/spg/ has been ruined by the single guy who spends all his time seething about Samsung. He's probably paid by the Chinese Communist Party so that China can sell more phones
>>109385186no it’s ruined by the vpn hopping troll spammer that’s been abusing /g/ with apple hate and spamming the same thread
>>109385203yup seems like a Rogue insider doing it too
>>109382770I'm >>109382545Apparently Motorola is even worse than poco in terms of longevity, and universally suffer from poor signal reception. I guess I'll stick to m8 or x7 >>109383676I'd skip that. It's priced almost the same as m8 but m8s looks like an absolute budget version.

>>109381457hey guys i need advice for the best wireless file transfer options between windows and android, or help troubleshooting local send.it worked with my old phone, but i now switched to oppo find x9 which uses colors and it stopped working. i can see phone from the pc and i can see the pc from the phone, but when i try to send anything it fails and says >hot unreachable>no route to hostwhat i tried so far>allow localsend through firewall on pc>change to custom port on both devices>increased timeout from 500 to 10000>turned off all battery optimization settings on phone>turned "random mac adress" to "use device mac adress" on the phone>keep the app open on both devices while trying to send somethini dont have any more ideas. google says it could be due to router, but it is on locked settings from my internet provider and it worked fine with old phone so i dont think it is that.what else i can try? im pretty confident problem is some hidden setting in coloros. compared to my old phone it seems unreasonably "Locked down". i even had trouble with quickshare between 2 devices, you literally have to click through 5 menus to finally say "make it visible to all". ridiculous, if i clicked quick share from the drop down menu it means i want to use it ffs, no reason to make it complicated
>>109385257Ah I see, you are right, I found the regular m8 for 10% more so I guess I will go with that. Thanks.
>>109381869it's so blatantly obvious too. Smh.
Nova apparently is trash now (volume ads?!?). On an s26, any recommendations for a similar launcher? Could I just download an old version and block it from updating?

>>109387102That was fake, and even Reddit knows that it was fake. That’s why it got deleted from there. What hasn’t been deleted are all the people complaining about brand new Samsung‘s catching fire and exploding unfortunately. It’s the 10th anniversary of the note 7 as well and it’s happening again.https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s/s26-ultra-caught-fire-while-charging/td-p/37941268https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/a-galaxy-s25-plus-in-south-korea-allegedly-caught-fire-prompting-a-probe

Anyone itt ever imported a chink phone to the states? How's the whole experience? Now that OnePlus NA has gone bust I'll probably have to import some global Oppo/Vivo whatever model from EU once my 13 shits the bed. The only "upgrade" I could buy domestically would be a Razr Fold but I'd rather not pay out the ass for a plastic screen with no dust protection desu desu
>>109388286I bought from Red Magic and OnePlus both direct from their websites. Both shipped from the same warehouse in California. Red Magic never was here in the USA, but OnePlus was at the time. Don't worry about it, you will place a order online and it'll arrive. They won't wanna lose our burger bucks. T-Mobile is the best carrier for these bands too.
>phone has minor security update>install it against my better judgement>notifications can't be swiped away from the lock screen >unlocking my phone requires a longer swipe (was already ridiculously long before)>shake to open camera no longer works half the time>reception is slightly worsemy burning hatred for smartphones grows every day

I want to take half-decent pictures with my S24. Is it a good idea to use the Pro mode and just set everything to auto? I've tried low and medium AI optimization and both sometimes look good and sometimes have issues.Shooting in RAW and editing every photo by hand is definitely overkill for my use case (mostly just vacation photos).
>>109393474>I want to take half-decent pictures Buy dedicated camera, phone sensors are small doesn't matter how much shilling they do, it's all post-production.
>>109393902do you have an example that isn’t 10 years old? why are you always posting old stuff like this? you don’t have anything that has to do with modern flagships? does it have to do with the fact that you’re only posting things that you can afford?
>>109393902Half-decent is subjective I guess, for my use case a camera isn't worth it, I just wanted to know how I can make the best pictures with my camera that doesn't require a lot of effort, i.e. shooting in RAW and editing afterwards.I'm almost fine with the AI processing bullshit but it does get on my nerves when the sky suddenly becomes extremely blue even though it's gray or some other elements are way too saturated.Pic rel is an example, might be fine for Instagram retards but the color is off for me.
>>109393914Yup you got it right. Kek!
>>109393914>you don’t have anything that has to do with modern flagshipsRetard sensor in modern flagship phones is similar size as in older phones.Only thing modern phones do better is post-production, but in the end they are still polishing output from shit sensor.Fujifilm GFX 50S II ($3,500–4,000, this will easily last you two decades) 43.8 × 32.9 mm ≈1,441 mm2Iphone 17 Pro (main camera)~1/1.28-inch type (rumored/expected)≈71.5 mm2
>>109394142you just made all of that up. God, you’re the worst
>>109394220Low IQ brown clown doesn't even understand how does sensor size affect photos.Have you seen how "big" is the sensor in modern phones, not much bigger than they used to be.I didn't make anything up, this is physical reality.
>>109394394>doesn't even understand how does sensor size affect photos>typical grammatical errorsWhatever, bro, I’m not wasting my time talking to someone like you who just comes here to post misinformation and racism. iPhones are literally used to make Hollywood movies. Professionals are using them. I know what you’re talking about, with the sensors. I could care less though when it’s coming from someone like you who can’t even make a coherent sentence.
>>109394394dude I realize that phone cameras are garbage compared to real cameras, I just want to know if shooting in pro mode with everything set to auto is feasible compared to the forced AI optimization shit in regular photo modeI'm not going to buy a camera for taking ~100 photos per vacation (2 times a year)
>>109394394Why are you making fun of your own people like that?>>109394429Depending on what phone you’re using, you can find a lot of apps that help you take photos in true raw with as little AI processing as possible. Unfortunately, the person you’re talking to doesn’t have a modern smartphone that can support these apps so they don’t even know how to help you properly and instead they’re here to spread misinformation, but I’ll help you check pic related. Lightroom is the best.
>>109394473>that help you take photos in true rawsee >>109393474Also I looked into third-party camera apps and none of them seem to have full control of the sensor. I guess I'll just make some pictures tomorrow with pro mode and everything set to auto and check if it's better than the regular photo mode at home.
>>109394473>Why are you making fun of your own people like that?Fr super cringe tbqh
>>109394033You can shoot in Pro mode and set the format to JPG. You lose out on HDR which you might actually want in certain scenarios, but it doesn't fuck with the colors.
>>109394479N
>>109381457
>>109393474I don’t think Pro mode changes the rendering pipeline. What you need is something like No Fusion app on iOS that gives you meaningful controls over built in dynamic range and sharpness. Not sure if android has one, otherwise you have to shoot raw since most apps just use default slop rendering.
>>109393474FYI you can mage a generic minimal edit (sharpness, dynamic range, NR) and save it as a preset in Lightroom mobile, Then you can just apply it in bulk to the batches of photos. You’d maybe have to touch up 10% of the outliers. Still a hassle but only once in a while.
