Global Smartphone Use Jan - Now
I have to get and LCD/IPS display phone to stop the flicker on OLEDs that is killing me. I have an S20FE that has a flickering OLED and is slowly dying but I was happy with it. What are my options?I tried a Motorola G57 and it fucking sucks, it is a budget phone with crap microphones, speakers and camera. I am now considering an iPhone 11 as it was the last LCD iPhone (apart from SE 2022 which has inferior specs). What would I have to deal with getting that in 2026?

>>109544868Stfu poorfag. Go back to your laggy 10 years old hand me down smartphone. Pussy boy all you do is talk, but never post a brand new flagship bitch boy.
>>109544888Touch a nerve, I guess. Why are you so angry?
>>109544868>>109544910 >projecting as usualwhy are you insulting your own people?
>>109544910The only person that’s mad here is your broke self you fucking loser. Why don’t you post a brand new phone? Oh that’s right you can’t even afford one. Meanwhile I bought four you fucking scrub. Get on my level you literal fucking impoverished loser and stay seething and crying like the little fucking pussy you are you europoor faggot. Kek!

>>109544951Most pathetic, poor fag bitching and consistently crying all while not being able to afford a brand new phone that I’ve ever seen
>>109544963Shut up, pajeet. Nobody asked your larp opinion. You are literally paying for an overpriced phone to get less value. You are profoundly retarded and you have no valid existence as human being. All your opinions are for my joy.
>>109544983Still doing all that yapping and not posting a brand new flagship huh you broke ass child? that’s exactly what I thought. you have no job and no income and you are a poor Third Worlder lol you fucking loser!
>>109544994Yes yes continue larping. Embarrass yourself more.
Global Smartphone Sales For 2024 and 2025.
>>109545011I posted four brand new flagships here and all you’ve posted is your bullshit yapping and not one brand new phone because you’re that fucking little loser that has a very old piece of shit phone you fucking impoverished child. I love seeing you crying here. I know you’re a fucking bum and you’ll never have any money to buy a brand new flagship you fucking scrub. I love to see it.
>>109545016How does that prove iPhone is a good option? You only love iPhone because you think you are cool. Meanwhile you are posting from an Android 5.0 General Mobile plastic phone. Worship the cow more, maybe it shits out an iPhone 6S it ate yesterday.

>>109545404i currently have a P6P and have only ever owned the "pro" pixels. all signs indicate that upgrading to the pixel 11 base model is the best choice for me but i'm worried that this phone will crap out quicker over time compared to the pro version. thoughts?

With Google locking down, it's crazy to think in 2027 iOS will be able to install files without a pc and android will need a 24 hour wait than a pc adb file load.

>>109546514You need one with an unlockable bootloaderFrom what I have heard carrier ones usually have theirs locked but some have it unlocked.
>>109546723Is there any definitive way to know? I have been putting off buying a pixel for a month now because of it. An ebay seller said only a couple of his entire stock fit the description which leads me to believe they're somewhat rare. Ebay is wiped out every time I check. Only ones available are ones with burn in or other problems.

>>109545696Base model and pro model have same chip. Build quality is fine even on the a series. Hi-light feature in the pro model may or may not age well. I'd think the base model is the way to go unless you're worried about 12GB ram not being enough and are willing to shill out for the pro version with 16GB.

Having now used a foldable phone for a week, I can say that foldables indeed are the future. They just need to work on bringing the prices lower.

i have a pixel 8 that i bought when it first came out. during intense usage and certainly when it's hot out, my battery will last about an hour or so.apparently the new pixel sucks so much that it's not even considering, is that right?is it time for me to leave the pixel line? i've been in it since the first ever iterations. would switching over to samsung be a shock to me? what would i miss from the pixel ecosystem?
>>109547682Exactly. >>109547652 isn't getting enough attention at home so comes on here to bait and contribute nothing of value.
>>109547777>would switching over to samsung be a shock to me? what would i miss from the pixel ecosystem?You won't miss anything from the Pixel because Samsung has the same apps then doubles up with its own messaging/browsing/pay apps etc. The one thing that will shock you is how clunky OneUI is compared to vanilla Android.
>>109547838What is this clunkiness people bring up? I have a Note 10+ still, have never found it lacking in speed or anything. And most of the "new" features android seems to get is old shit Samsung threw in with their everything and the kitchen sink approach. Everything else I think can fall under custom launchers, have Nova on mine.

First day with the Flip 8 and I can say I'm satisfied: it's bulkier when closed, but being just a square makes it more comfortable in the pocket; both screens are very nice and the speakers are better than I imagined; the flex mode is a gimmick, but a fun one. The only downsides are the cameras, and the shitload of AI at every corner, which I disabled because fuck all this surveillance really. I got it for less than €800 which I guess is reasonable.
I love my OnePlus 15!

Do you use a screen protector on your phone, anons? The one I had on my Pixel 10 Pro came loose so I tore it off and I'm contemplating not replacing it. The edges annoyed me and would always collect pocket crud.
>>109550986I got the DBrand one. Im currently using a Spigen for my 8U but it's going to be replaced once i get my Grip Case.Also not sure where to really ask this but does anyone know where to get widgets that mimic the Nier Automata menu and no not that nearly decade old KWLP preset.
>>109544736.
buy Samaung S26 Ultra.
>>109553629Sorry, but once you go foldable, you can't go back to regular phones.
>>109553629I'll wait for the S27 Ultra if the s8g6p isn't crap
>>109544736I know this general is dead but I can get a brand new Xiaomi 15 12/512 for $879 or a new 512Gb Samsung S25U for $1500. I'd prefer the cheaper phone and I prefer the size of the Xiaomi over the Samsung. The biggest complaint of the Xiaomi is that it's software is crap, which I should I get? I intend to use it for 5 years.
is the galaxy z fold 8 wide worth it? im coming from a Pixel 10a and I cant warrant paying more than $1,000 for a phone unless its gonna last me for 5 years and still have a good battery
>>109553432Try Whitestone Dome. They glue on and their tough.
crease
No crease
>>109553741Jesus thats such a big price difference. I'd only argue for Samsung because in this case if you're planning on keeping it for that long you're better off using software thats going to be at least bearable in the long run. At the end of the day the software is what carries your day to day interactions and the more annoying it gets the worst it'll feel.>>109553763If you can't justify paying more than $1k stick to your current phone and save money down the line to make the hit feel smaller regardless of what phone you pick in the long run. Personally got the F8U on a whim but the price is a major point against foldables especially since any repairs are expensive as fuck.
>>109553868am I just better off getting pixel fold then? since im already on their architecture
Been using a realme 11 pro+ for the last few years but I want to upgrade.Do I really need to pay 1000€ to get a modern phone?

>>109554274Why don't you carry a power bank?
>>109553821You can't see while the screen is on.
>>109554073No, buy refurbed iphone with brand new battery.
>>109553741Xiaomi 15 would be your best option but you should be aware that the battery is more like 4800mAh and not 5400mAh as advertised. https://youtu.be/MpgUFrsIWSQ
>>109554422It kinda contradicts the point of phone being mobile. Why use a small thin phone when you need a powerbank? Why use phone camera when you need proper pictures with proper lens? Why use tiny phone screen when you can just use tablet or a laptop? To me a phone is form factor, and using powerbank ruins it. One of the reasons I also got myself a new phone now with much bigger battery
>>109554890i feel like this battery chart is a lot like Hard Drive Manufactures using x1000 to go from mega to giga instead of x1024and if it keeps your battery healthier in the long run i'm kinda ok with it
>>109554274Based
pixel 11 series announcement wasnt very exciting and it seemed a bit expensive for what it was but there was a good sale on for samsung z fold 8 ultra so i grabbed one since my pixel 6 was getting a bit old. pretty cool that this thing folds in half lol the screen is so big. it's really nice to ssh from, much easier to type on the big split keyboard. any tips i should know having never used a folding phone? i know you need to be very careful about not letting dogshit get trapped in the middle screen when you close it, and never dropping it open because the middle screen is delicate, but it seems like it'd be really hard to make a strengthening case for this without just padding the thing to hell with leather or foam
>>109555096What's interesting is that later Si/C phones don't have as much of their capacities artificially capped. For instance, OnePlus 13 was capped to 89% of its rated capacity while OnePlus 15 was practically not capped at all. Chinese OEMs adopted Si/C too early just so they could have a higher number on their spec sheet. This would probably explain why Samsung took as long as they did to adopt Si/C. If Samsung got caught artificially capping their batteries below even their rated capacities they'd be in deep shit.
New TechNick video! The s26 ultra placed the lowest out of all the devices.https://youtu.be/lZzXCIw3NJo?si=Z7LqSPW7ptt3iCVR
>>109555140>>109554274Black 1tb version. Chinese rom. Not like global version is that global in first place, this phone is nonexistent in Europe and I'm not going to get troon orange or boring silver.The crease is visible but different. Instead of it being a clear U shape, they solved by adding some layer in the middle of the hinge which pushes the crease outward in the middle. You can even slightly feel an upwards bump. So instead of one big I you have more like 2 small uu. Compared directly with new Samsung this oppo is way more flat and folding/unfolding does not appear to leave any impact. When the display is turned on you ofc can't see the crease, but you wont see it on Samsung either in similar fashion, so writing/watching unfolded is not disturbed.I'd put the crease part into cool tech but not game changing. I expect flatness to last longer than samsung though.Camera is cool, it also has integrated ai Photoshop so women would love using it for selfies, colours look cool.Pen is interesting gimmick and I'm still working on all the functions. Yes, right at you, Samsung. Works with all screens and comes with two replacement tips.Battery is HUGE. Battery charging is insane. The special cable that comes with phone is very thick meant for high current. Thicker than my typical usb cable that I used for my previous phone.Chink ROM: it doesn't come as pure Chinese rom, as the seller does a custom update so you get play store and proper English language. Only issue is that certain Chinese programs still stay Chinese and you can't really do anything about it (global rom doesn't have them at all). Only thing left is either uninstall them and get Google stuff or learn Chinese because they seem pretty cool although pointless for a non Chinese speaker.Basically you get a degoogled phone. No bloatware no annoying ads. So far I'm happy.
>>109555047Doesn't matter how big the battery is it'll run out eventually if you don't charge it. You're not a woman. It costs nothing to put a power bank in your bag for emergencies.
>>109551804Also just bought a Fold 8 Ultra to accompany my S26 Ultra, iphone 17 pro max, oneplus 15 and red magic 11 pro. Benchmarks coming soon. Put your $$$ up little bros.
>>109555801King of /spg/ I kneel!!!
>>109555801Unless you run a YouTube channel or smartphone blog nobody needs that many phones.
>>109555782Yes, and then you need to accept that it's over or bring a charger and charge it wherever you can instead of being a powerbank cuck.>"Uuuuh I buy myself a fancy slim phone so I have to carry it with a thick powerbank brick"Fk this. There are phones specifically designed just for that. They look appropriately.
>>109555801Yawn wake me up till I see a trifold.
>>109555801more like ultra foid
>>109555994>>109556055>>109556060Uh oh little bros are SALTY
>>109556038You're not a woman with a chihuahua and tiny purse. It literally costs you nothing to carry one in the bottom of your bag for when you need it. You're more of a cuck for needing to "plug in" places.
Is it true that even low and mid tier phone prices will go up because of ram crisis?
>>109556086So instead of charging the phone with your gigacharger you charge your phone, charge your powerbank and then you charge your phone from your powerbank with some cuck speed? Seems highly inefficient
>>109556104I would expect instead of prices going up (phones are made for literal 3d world who wouldn't afford that) the components would just get shitter. Suddenly 8 GB ram will be cool
>>109556104Yes. It's actually much worse for budget phones because RAM is now taking up the majority of the cost of the entire phone.It still hurts high-end models but because of the higher margins on them it doesn't make up as much of the total BOM costs.
>>109556132You do know the house can draw more power than a phone and power bank can consume? What sort of cucked electrical system are you using for that to be a consume.
>>109556166>>109556132Also many power banks support pass-through charging meaning you can charge the power bank and phone at the same time.

Is the galaxy S ultra series really the best android phone? My s23U is nice and all but this battery life is genuinely abyssmal. Utterly embaressing you have to basically charge it twice daily. Is the oneplus 15 any good? Or any other alternatives you recommend?
>>109557878If you want good battery life, it's either OnePlus 15 or nothing else. Its battery isn't really artificially capped like the 13's was either.

>>109557481What does Google get out of making these phones? It's just data collection right? I'm guessing they calculate how much the return is from the data they harvest from pixel users vs the money they lose on procuring horrible phones?
>>109557936Battery is nice to have for sure but UI, screen, long term usability, hardware and software etc are also important.The galaxy used to be the best all rounder for me but the battery seems to only get worse
>>109558215They own Android. They get data collection regardless.(Unless dealing with a heavily customised ROM)>>109557481That's way better than my Pixel 7a. Should be a monumental leap forward for me.
>>109553432I always have + a thick case. I used some brand called "amfilm" on my current phone (2018) and it still looks completely fine. that's pre-underscreen fingerprint sensors tho so idk how viable they are now a days
>>109544736do different chipsets have different BT latency? I guess they docould I get lower BT latency for controllers by getting certain chipsets?I'm on a snapdragon 695 5G, and I think it might be time to update.I ask because I compared a BT gamepad and a usb C gamepad and I can tell the usb-C has a tiny bit better latency than the BT, but I guess that's just natural.
>>109558644No you can't tell. Stop lying. Did you break out the slow motion camera and watch the video back frame by frame or use something like an LDAT?
>>109557878Get a folding phone.

Legendary moment in smartphone history.Never recovering from this.
when is this going to be fixed?
>>109559209Why do people even use android when their own execs. hate it?
>>109557127It looks like someone hit the screen with a pickaxe.
>>109559256Samsung can't even stop the green lines from happening and it's been a known issue since the s21. Android authority literally has articles out explaining how Samsung's own update is causing the green line issue too.https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-gallery/android-authority-green-line-bug-reports-acknowledged/td-p/26560512https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1p9x65b/samsung_green_lines_issue_is_back_users_claim/
>>109557127Why are the Samsung devices doing this???
>>109559468If I was a phone manufacturer, I would sabotage my competitors devices too.
>>109559506wrong as usual. most of the reported devices with defects are posted on r/samsunggalaxy >>109557127 and the official samsung forum.
>>109559468my samsung s24 ultra gets hot as fucking hell never had an issue.
>>109558287Can't speak for the 15, but I went from an S23U to OnePlus 13 and found the UI to be better in terms of responsiveness. OneUI has a bunch of features but it would always hitch/stutter which just made the phone feel like a cheap piece of shit even though it was almost $1K. OOS (ColorOS) might not have muh Good Lock, but it never ever lags, is very responsive and animations are way smoother. Setting animation speed to 1.5x arguably looks worse than 1.0x with this skin.15's display is a typical flagship OLED. 10-bit and 165hz are a meme though. Personally, I noticed that my 13 would refuse to enter HBM in sunny conditions where my S23U would consistently do so every time, so do with that information what you will. Reviewers and other users never mentioned this so I'm not sure if this is a software bug that's also present on the 15 or if it's just a hardware quirk with my unit.
>>109555801BASED AF
Still enjoying my fold ultra and dabbing on the haters
>>109555801Damn...
I am upgrading to an iPhone 18 Pro Max
>>109553763no phone is worth $2000 dollars but it is pretty neat
>>109553926>am I just better off getting pixel fold then?probably, you can get a used pro fold 10 for "dirt cheap"
Many videos are available of people showing the device getting the green line from a official Samsung software update. The oneui 8.5 update is causing it to happen to the new s26 ultra.
>>109547452how long have you had your phone? mine still works, but it's very old and gets hot and laggy if I use it for a prolonged period of time, so I bought a new one
What's the Poco F1/X3 Pro of today? M8 Pro? No Dimensity meme please.
>>109559363Plenty of people hate their jobs. I'm not sure that's a valid point.They can hate what they do at Google and still make a great product for others.
>phone has cool feature>teehee, you can't use it because of battery drainWhy do they do this?
>>109553432I ordered one for my Pixel 11 Pro XL and will try to use it but don't know if I'll like it or not.>>109561388That's just a mobile computing problem in general. So many laptops still come with 60Hz displays even though the iGPU in most of them these days could definitely drive a 120Hz display.There is stuff like Panel Self Refresh (PSR) that can save power when you're not rendering all the time but that's never the case when you have lots of moving content (i.e games).
>>109561388Marketing buzzwords.If not for the security updates and shit old phones would be perfectly fine continuing to run right now.
brought a Motorola g86it looks & feels really nice for a sub $300 phone
>>109561388>battery drainSeems like a brand issue anon. Buy a Xiaomi and enjoy 120hz OLED screens with long lasting batteries.
>>109559552Oh intersting. I've heared alot of people talk about how snappy and responsive the colorOS is so there must be truth to that. Couple of things that are clinging me to shamshung is that i have a tab S7+ along with my s23u, which makes syncing notes and pdfs such a smooth operation, samsung notes is also imho a VERY good app for pdfs and note taking.The other thing i REALLY want to get a new S ultra with the anti reflective coating. I constantly use my phone in low brightness and lights bouncing off the screen is very annoying. Having samsung internet is a plus as well since it's as good as brave.Thank you for listening to my blogpost
>>109561388the first galaxy note with 120hz had absolutely horrid battery life because the 120hz ran constantly

This is how much foldable hinges have improved in the last four years while still managing to make the crease less noticeable.
>>109561353reviews suggest f8 pro/ultraor one+ 15
>>109561884I've also got a Galaxy tablet and Quick Share is fast enough to where I'd say I don't miss note syncing that much. Sure it isn't as seamless, but normally when I want to share something from tablet to phone or vice versa it just werks.
>>109562566Oh that's good to know.Maybe i'll finally pull the trigger for a oneplus then, probs should wait for the 16 tho since rumors say its coming next month
>>109562616Why would you buy a phone from a company that is literally bankrupt and exiting the business?
>>109562766One plus is just oppo at this point, they aren't bankrupt but part of other company now
New F-Droid UI update is ass
Thinking of getting the S25 edge but my A52s still runs fine
>>109563372Why do you even need fdroid? Any decent app is available from github and has an update function built into the app.
>>10956261616 looks like a big ass upgrade from the 13 and 15 but I personally wouldn't bother getting one unless it ends up being cheaper to import than any domestic Oppo phone, assuming you live in burgerland. I totally would've gotten a 16 if they hadn't exited NA.
>>109545946Based, this is pretty much my dream phone, hope you have fun, anon!

Ok after using N6 I found one shortcoming (and no, Samsung doesn't even have this functionality in first place).Basically there is the pen and the pen is cool and stuff, it does what it needs to do. Function wise it's great.However there is a contradiction: The pen needs a special (back) case to charge it. It is charged by the case which takes energy from the coil from the phone. The problem with this is the fact that if you are using the pen case, you cannot charge phone wirelessly as it will oppose the direction of the pen case.The moment you use pen you need also the use special case which prevents you from wireless charging. Either you have to take off the case and charge it wirelessly and put it back on, or you have to remove pen from charger and leave the case on top of your normal phone case so pen can charge and you will still lack dedicated pen slot.Also the pen case is ugly (comes only in boring grey).Feels kinda dumb as pen fits the device perfectly but using it cucks other functions. You have a contradiction within your phone. What was oppo thinking? Could've at least added different pen case colours to match phones better....
waiting for pixel 10 to drop below $500 in yurop so i can afford it
Any Americans here using international versions of ZTE/Nubia phones?How is using an imported phone?I use Mint Mobile, and it seems the Z80 has all of the right bands for Mint/TMobile and for the towers in my chunk of rural VA.
>>109563812Is oppo just as good as oneplus?It seemed to me another chink camera with phone attached to it
>>109544736A few days ago my phone decided to just stop working and start infinitely restarting itself over and over again, and I didn't have a good amount of stuff backedup on it (mostly pics/vids, and yes I should've backedup stuff better before this happened) and I am worried about recovering the data off it now, but other than that I am now considering switching from Pixels because they have been steadily going down in quality and the newer Pixels have given me almost nothing but problems...Should I unironically just bite the bullet and switch to an iPhone since google is basically planning on killing Android soon and locking everything down anyways?>yes, my phone is a Pixel, and my day is ruined
I dont know if this is the right thread but im thinking of swapping from the 24s ultra to a xcover 7 pro. I crave that battery swap ability. I got a good laptop recently and that can be my weekend enjoyment but id like to work my shifts without a worry about if my phones gonna last. Is this a retard decision?
revolut can work with root modules and microgwow, even less reasons to use stock rom
>>109566822Also the storage upgrade with the microsd card seems nice in the long run once I get a good paycheck. Small part of me wants to experience what I missed out in highschool by being with apple by family plan so maybe this is me just making a dumb decision.
>>109566822fairphone
>>109566969Those do seem like good phones and I have been considering them but the benefit with the x cover is i can charge the spare batteries up easier and its easier to change them out, dont need a screwdriver. Though that fairphone does have the advantage of each part being replaceable.
My Galaxy S23 just had sudden death today. Ironic, considering that my previous phone (POCO X3 PRO), died the same way, hence making me spend more to not deal with this bulllshit.Anyways, what's the best budget phone today? I want something with an above than average camera.
>feel like upgrading after like 5 years>now a majority of phones don't have a 3.5mm jackfucking zoomerniggersI don't want more garbage that needs to be charged every day/few days
>>109567513How the fuck do you suggest they include a 3.5mm port to a 4mm thick phone, retard?
>>109568062why does it need to be 4mm, faggot?I'd take a 1cm thick 9000mah kino instead
>>109566579Don't buy ZTE. Their software sucks and they gimp the shit out of their batteries.
>>109544736my galaxy s21 died so i got a s25 plus. did i fug up?
>2020>buy LG V60>LG mobile division goes bust 1 year later >2025>buy OnePlus 13 >OnePlus NA goes bust a year laterWho's next? Google? Motorola? Even their marketshare is higher than Pixel's in the US
>>109567153Refurbished iphone 17e
>>109567513i bit the bullet and bought an mp3 playerso instead of charging wireless buds i charge that instead
>>109563424The edge is so fucking cheap, its like 500 dollars because of all the youtubers shitting on it. I almost bought an edge myself but then I ended up getting the fold 8 after it got announced around the same time
>>109567513>now a majority of phone dont have a 3.5mm jackand that's a good thing, unless you're African and you are forced to have all your media offline due to country restrictions. otherwise, buy S26 Ultra with 1TB in Cobalt Violet.
>>109563977Zamn
>>109557878Using a Oneplus 15 right now and only have positive things to say so far. Great battery, screen, speakers, build quality. Got the sandstone version. ColorOS is fast and responsive. OnePlus won't be sold here in the US in the future but they will support this for several years yet. Without heavy use this battery will last for 4 or 5 days. Heavy use, including long video call I got 2 days. I used to use Samsung phones but they just stopped being interesting to me.
>>109544736Can someone breakdown the science of screen protectors and if its pointless or not? I have a spigen screen protector on my s26u but the reflections when im sat outside typing to you guys are awful. I can see my face in it. Obviously the s26u screen has anti reflective properties so im wondering should I just take it off. I originally got it becauee I thought the s pen would end up leaving scratches on the screen but I now know that's retarded as fuck.
>>109570065You want to resell your phone eventually and have "pristine" screen? Use protector.You want to have a pure glass feel with maximum clarity and you don't mind eventually some scratches to appear? Remove it.
>>109566753get a Galaxy S25|6 Ultra and be happy, Pixels are expensive e-waste
>>109567012>>109566822yeah, better get the Fairphone, they're actually about to release a new one soon, XCover phones are fine but Samsung is very stingy when it comes to selling replacement batteries, last time I checked they don't sell them to anyone, you need to be enrolled in some kind of corporate deal with Samsung to be able to buy them >>109566867wow I didn't knew this, unfathomably based, glad I switched everything to Revolut a year ago, fuck BBVA and their ass app
>>109567513buy Tanchjim Zero USB-C variant
>>109570065they're not pointless, but they only protect your display of two things: scratches and oleophobic coating degradation.to protect the display of cracking use a case with decent corner protection.the s pen won't scratch your screen, its tip is plastic and that can't scratch glass, however pocket lint, dirt, dust and sand WILL eventually scratch it, no matter how strong is this year's version of gorilla Ass>reflections either get a matte screen protector or cope
>>109570065The reflectivity of the screen takes on the final layer that meets the air so whatever protector you're using determines its reflectivityTo get the advertised anti reflectivity, you'll need to run your phone without a protector or opt for Samsung's official anti-reflectice plastic protector (only about 60-70% as good as the native performance)
Anyone tried the redmagic 11s pro(or any redmagic phone)? Is it good for just daily usage and not just gaming? Assuming you don't give a fuck about cameras
>>109566753Get refurbished iphone 17e (with brand new battery)It's a good compact phone if you don't care about watching content on your phone.
>>109570881oh shid I didn't know there USB-C headphonesany drawbacks aside from wearing down your charging port more? looks cool
>>109573533I got some sound magic ones with an L shaped connector with the hopes that will last longer
my brother got the new samsung fold thing and gave me his old one and damn it's such a huge upgrade from what i was using (S8+)can you actually get this thing for like 300-500 these days? that's kind of a snatch imo but idk shit and am poor, it's also sketchy buying used phones but if they really fall this much off in price then buying some old shit is the meta for sure, theres gotta be so many powerful ass phones sitting there for the taking jsut because they happen to be like 3-5 years old
is poco x8 pro a meme? haven't found a better alternative in the price range.
>>109573696It's the same as with guitars. Just by someone having his (metaphysical) dick on it, the price already drops a lot. When new model comes out usually price drops even lower. Many phones are usually in a decent state and you can figure out how it looks and who the user was
Tensor bros?
what are some good modern mid tier phones in terms of value?my cheap chinese phone from ~6 years ago is starting to feel its age and it doesn't run Android 13 (and I don't want to install custom firmware)

What do you think about the chink brand named Tecno?

>>109568062>>109568946>>109569094
>>109573838>>109574154A 20% generational improvement is not bad at all, especially when they're not just using a Snapdragon like everyone else, and don't have the same level of CPU designer talent that Apple has.If they keep investing in Tensor they would easily be able to overtake the competition, except maybe Apple.t
Any hope of Samsung un-cucking the front screen on the Flip 8 at some point? I don't understand why they wouldn't open it up to be fully interactive like the Motorola Razr, instead of just turning into a big notification screen
Is there any hope for next year's Galaxy Fold9 being cheaper or maybe a downspecced Fold8 FE?
>>109574772Why would they make them cheaper? People are buying them and they see themselves as the market leader and Apple doesn't have a Foldable to compete with them.They know they can charge what they want and the people that buy these toys will still keep doing so.
>>109574790>Why would they make them cheaper?Because maybe RAMpocalypse and NANDpocalypse is overAnd it also makes me feel happy
>>109574797Sorry, Korean company doesn't care about your happiness, especially when they were the ones that caused that RAMpocalypse and NANDpocalypse in the first place by selling production in their own foundries to bigger fish and leaving their internal product teams working on consumer products hung out to dry.

>>109573838Yikes that's not good
>>109574479It's been a great VN reading device for me.
>>109575934It's actually pretty good for a homegrown CPU design that isn't using an off-the-shelf processor from someone like Qualcomm/Snapdragon.I'm more curious about the GPU. Has that improved at all relative to the Pixel 10? Did anyone test that.
>>109573838>>109574154tensor is a meme
>>109575706Based Baker!
>>10957596420%-25% generational improvement isn't a meme. Apart from Apple, they're pretty much the only one making their own CPU designs.Even Samsung is embarrassed by their Exynos chips to use them in their flagships now.
>>109574536I think they did just that though.
>>109544860>>109544962Key features include a bigger font by default for the boomer audience. Not memeing
What is this shit, is that place full of third worldlers begging for free phone or what? I thought I could some proper insights on new tech but instead I see this shit. Sad!
>>109576656>I think they did just that though.They didn't
>>109570065Screen protectors do work for their intended purpose but are still kind of a meme. All you need to do to prevent scratches is not keep anything sharp and metal in your pockets. I haven't used a screen protector in 10 years and none of my phones are loaded with big or small scratches.
