Global Smartphone Use Jan - Now
>>109763095based OP
Why do the Chink phones surpass the iPhone so badly in the battery life? Even the S26 does.I thought it was supposed to have the most optimized OS/hardware (tm)?
>>109763236And this is just comparing the popular brands. My Unihertz Tank Mini gets like 10 days of active use, while my iPhone only got 2.
they fake the hardware capabilities.
>>109763310Kek
>>109763236iOS and Chinese ROMs like Xiaomi's HyperOS aggressively kill background apps. Samsung does too, thoughbeit to a lesser extent. iOS doesn't even have real multitasking for doing the needful for that isn't Apple related.Inb4>I switched apps and it loaded right away!Yes, you can suspend an app and resume it, but you need to fulfill certain conditions (like playing audio) for the app to do ANYTHING in the background.
How fast is the processor in a S20 ultra compared to phones these days? Would a ~400€ phone even beat it?
>>109763095>GrapheneOS Edition!Apparently they're now trying to make their own implementation of RCS without relying on Google Messages by using the carrier backends like Apple does, hopefully they open-source their work if they get it working so other messaging apps can finally get RCS support and we're not stuck with Google's shitty app anymore.
>>109763772recent Poco F and even X series phones will absolutely demolish itof course, they're chinkslop with shit software and bad cameras, but they will beat older flagships easily>Poco F7 Pro, F8 Pro, X8 Pro, X8 Pro Maxall between 350 and 550 euro, the F8 Pro for example is @ 550 euro and as powerful as the S25 Ultra
>>109763824>RCSDo Americans really?
>>109763824very based tbqh
>>109763850Yes, we don't really use WhatsApp over here.
>>109763881I wonder why instant messaging never caught on there. It came first (before RCS) when your only option was shitty MMS and it still is more feature-rich than RCS.I would fucking kms if I had to use SMS/MMS/RCS instead of an instant messenger.
>>109763850that explains why that garbage app is forcing itself everywhere.I wish Google would fucking murder itself
>>109763912The biggest reason is because SMS/MMS has been free in the US for a long time, many overseas carriers charged you for it back then.

>walled garden Google will be locking down Android harder…. it’s so over.
>>109764037Should I just get a degoogled phone at this point? Which ones work with Verizon?
Should I get a used iPad Mini 6, a used Mini 7, or wait for the Mini 8 with OLED display and buy that instead?I'd buy an Air M3/M4 no questions asked, it has the best specs to price ratio of the iPads, but I need something portable to read in bed, not a laptop replacement.Yes I am in the Apple ecosystem I own an iPhone 16PM and Airpods Pro 3.
>>109763951I can't really see that being the reason. SMS/MMS were included in monthly plans in EU too. Even the poorfag plans would give you 300-500 free messages which were more than enough for most people.I remember when instant messengers were catching on here in EU. The killer features were>higher quality media sharing>file sharing (although it was very limited at the time)>voice messages>group chats>seemingly faster and less buggy message delivery>visually more polished apps compared to the default SMS/MMS apps in iOS and Android>(for kids) stickers and animated emojisMoving to instant messengers was a logical step forward just like using MSN or Skype was considered a logical upgrade to using email for communicating with friends and family. It would be bizarre as fuck if you communicated with people using email/SMS/MMS these days, almost like how using IRC instead of an IM would feel weird to most people.

>Pixel 10a>Pixel 10>Galaxy S25 FE>Nord 6Best for value and 5+ years ownership?
>>10976433010a
>>109764330s25 and nord far less likely to get rom support after official ends
>>109764330Pixel 10
>>109763912iPhone's had iMessage for the longest time but for whatever reason Android users just endured SMS/MMS until RCS came out and even then messaging between Android and iPhone was still SMS for a while until they finally added RCS to iOS.
>>109764368>>109764381>iMessageThis actually might be the reason why people in EU use instant messengers. iPhones didn't initially catch on in the EU, so nobody used iMessage. Which meant people were less used to opening the default "Messages" app to chat. Both WhatsApp and Facebook (also Skype) arrived a year or two before iMessage and they normalized (and later standardized) chatting in 3rd party apps instead of the apps that come with your phone. Once iPhones started getting popular it was already too late, as all iOS users had to install one or two 3rd party messaging apps to be able to chat with the majority of people.It's basically the reverse of "green bubble vs blue bubble" situation in the US, since iOS is the cucked OS here in terms of communication.
>>109764037Still better than iOS>>109764330Pixel have shit hardware, ignore the shills. Galaxy is probably best on that front, mostly a toss-up between it and the Nord on software. Pixels have good software though
>>109764336>>109764353>>109764357/g/ is a Pixel board it seems.I'm mainly deciding between the 10a and Nord 6 because they are both under 400 bucks and they each have their strengths (Software/Camera vs. SoC/Battery).>>109764550That is why I have such a hard time deciding. I also don't like the round, thick bezels the Pixels have. Their OS and camera software are supposed to be really good.
>>109764712>/g/ is a Pixel board it seems.They're one of the only phones with unlockable bootloaders with worldwide availability.
>>109764712Yes it is true they are one of the only phones with properly unlockable (and relockable) bootloaders, as well as GrapheneOS support.I bought a Pixel 8a a few years ago falling for this meme, and god the hardware is SHIT. Just take for example the GPS chip. An iPhone 8 (!!) gives me perfect accuracy in a plane 35,000 ft in the air while the Pixel struggles on the ground in a car. That's one example. Don't get me started on the CPU or GPU (nonexistent). If I knew this I would have bought a Samsung or at least a OnePlus instead (though they are also kind of shitting the bed in terms of hardware).Pixels have the best cameras hands-down though, far beyond iPhones and Samsungs (which I would place second). Just want to give a more well-rounded perspective but ultimately it's your choice.

Everything you need to get an ad-free YouTube Music experience on iOS without paying for a subscription, you can sideload custom modified IPA files like YTLitePlus or YouTubeiVanced using tools like Sideloadly, AltStore, or SideStore. 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. No waiting time is needed to use ipa files and sideloaded apps on iOS.https://youtu.be/XeYCIqOEWhU?is=Nx5pmESDRd39-hY2

Here's the latest iOS 27 beta with the latest Siri ai VS the latest Gemini ai. 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.

The official name for the iPhone Fold is iPhone Duo. $2000Configs up to $3000
>>109766375It's not like Pixels older than Pixel 11 will suddenly become bricked. You still have over half a decade of support in Pixel 9/10 series.>>109764961Not having half the screen covered by autism/ads is much better than manually hiding or scrolling through them.
>>109766609>Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Serieswho the FUCK names this shit?anyways what's the real street price of the phone? I see it listed at 746 EUR on amazon.de but that seems a bit high for a Poco that's not even the Ultra, like, it's way too close to the price of the S26 FE or even the actual S26 and within striking range (200 EUR) of the base model iPhone
>>109768157>who the FUCK names this shit?8 = Flagship-tier chip. The lower the number the more budget of a CPU class it is.Elite = "The very best of 8-tier SoCs".Gen 5 = 5th generation, or 5th series. This is basically what you're looking for to see how new the internals of an SoC are. Newer is always better. This is the equivalent of the difference between AMD Ryzen 1xxx/2xxx/3xxx/etc.V Series = Virgin loser series. It's kind of like a refurbished chip. These are chips with non-impactful manufacturing defects which are sold for less $. It's similar to how Intel and AMD sell their mid-range and budget CPUs, which are just high end CPUs with disabled cores and memory. In this specific case the "V Series" model simply has 33% less CPU cache, which results in slightly worse performance (mainly GPU-related performance).
>>109763095Do I buy a oneplus 15? Just looking for something that'll last. Currently, on Samsung Galaxy S8 (yes you read that right)
>>109766375>>Motorola phones with GrapheneOS support will be $1500Source? From what I've heard, most of their new releases will have the required security features for GOS, from the budget end to flagships.
I work at a telco company and we’re swamped with preorders for iPhone 18 pro max
Is it more economic value to buy a current year midrange phone or a flagship phone from years ago? E.g. Galaxy A56 vs S23.
>>109768995I always buy year old flagships, currently I'm using a Honor Magic 7 pro.Picked it up for 550 earlier this year, pretty pleased with it so far. Hoping it'll last me like another 5 years
>Xiaomi F8 Pro is only $600 on Amazon when other phones in that tier are at least 30% more expensive. I'm new to all this and I don't get it. What's the catch with Chinese phones? Are they unreliable long term or have some other internal issue? Why aren't we all just buying these cheap ass phones?
>>109764381 iMessage sucks. I can't send files via text to anyone with an iPhone because Apple put a moat around their walled garden and broke functionality for everyone outside it. How they haven't been sued yet is beyond me. Apple actively breaks things that should work just to trap you in their ecosystem.
>>109769250The software is crap. It's hard to see all the issues with software when you look at a spec sheet. It's why Pixel phones can offer a better experience with worse hardware than a Chinese phone with excellent hardware but poorly optimised hardware.
I'm about to buy Redmi 15C. Should I buy 6GB Ram/128GB storage version or 8GB/256GB version?
>>109769250they're built like shit and the battery will start expanding after a year because of their quick charge tech
Few more caught fire recently after the first incident of a s26 ultra catching fire while charging was reported on the official Samsung website with photo evidence as well. A s26 also recently exploded as well.https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s/s26-ultra-caught-fire-while-charging/td-p/37941268
>>109768995For me, it's phone from last year that fits within your budget.This blanket advice of 'get last year's flagship" worked when phones were 500e max, and budget and mid-range phones were unusable, but nowadays even 200e phones are solid devices.So get a 200e phone that was 300e on release last year, a 500e phone that was 800e, etc.In this particular case, the S23 released with android 13, with 4 promised OS updates, so it's not that far from end-of-life support-wise.>>109769438Depends on the price diff, but for the 8gb/256 version upgrade you could surely get a better overall phone, no?

>>109763546I planned on purchasing a new Xiaomi, but I got a hand-me-down of an older model to see if I like it. The tasking killing is actually insane. I can't even run TWO fucking apps at once. It also struggles to maintain a stable connection with a 5Ghz Wifi. Is there a phone that doesn't make me racist against Chinese people?

>>109771318What's the battery life like on OneUI 9?
>>109771431It's a Note 8T. But that detail doesn't matter to me, because the person I got it from, shares these sentiments with their newer devices. I had my fair share of curse from Xiaomi products. I do not need another shill, I need a new working phone.
I want to make one thing very clear. In a just few moments, John Apple is going to take the stage and pull a weird new phone out of his pocket. He's going to hold it for few seconds to show it to people. Then he's going to unfold it. Then he's going to say "No crease". THIS IS A LIE! You mustn't believe his lies! There is always a crease, it's a fundamental law of physics. Do. Not. Fall. For. His. Lies.
>>109771318Fold 8 is better.
Samsung NEVER fixed the battery issues..... they should be forced to do recalls like they had to with the Note 7.
A lot of words used to not say how many mAH the battery capacity will be and how many W of charging it will provide.They literally didnt say the actual numbers. They only said "up to" on some unverifiable vague metrics. Truly masters of bullshitting
>>109771880Yeah I guess a 7 year old phone that cost 180 euros on release is a fair assessment. Don't listen to anyone saying otherwise they're just shills.

59% of the posts in the general are made by the same person.
Multiple people have now posted how they have a s26 ultra with a blown up battery that made the back pop off. Samsung never fixed their battery defects. Few more new s26 ultra with imploding batteries unfortunately happened too after this one....
Here's a s26 catching fire even though it was new and sealed in the box.

>>109773644>>109774121You are aware they clearly avoided showing the crease?

>>109766375did google emp all the pixels below the 11 series? You know the 10a will be supported since its basically just a pixel 9, so they didn't gimp the MTE hardware.
The variable aperture on iPhone 18 Pro has a very niche use case, it's not meaningful to most people. Because of the small sensor size on a phone, the crop factor is extremely high. Modern phone cameras already have really wide apertures, about as wide as you can go (iPhone 17 Pro has f/1.6 on the main 24mm equivalent "wide" camera). Meaning the full frame equivalent aperture of the phone camera is going to be f/11 or higher.The 18 Pro camera is effectively the same f-number wide open. The only thing you can adjust is making the aperture narrow to f/4. So equivalent of like f/32. The difference between f/11 and f/32 is meaningless in terms of DOF, especially on these wide angle lenses, you are already focusing to infinity.Unless you are shooting in extremely harsh light and want to keep a slower shutter, so you narrow the aperture to reduce the exposure. That's the only thing you can do, restrict the light by raising the f-number. You can achieve the same goal in exposure (because, as established, you are never going to get shallow DOF on focal lengths these wide with effective apertures so narrow) by using ND filters, of which there are multiple systems for the iPhone. And again, this is really only needed if you want to take a photo with a slow shutter, or you want a specific shutter angle for video.Feel free to correct any of this.

>>109776341I suppose that, like in regular cameras/lens setups, narrowing the aperture might improve sharpness and reduce aberrations since you're using the part of the lens which distorts light the least.
>>109776128brown hands, gross
>>109777592I want to see someone try to scratch it with a fingernail. They did a whole presentation about it's 10 krillion layers, I still want to know where it is on the hardness scale.
>>109776222Checked, and suspiciously relevant numbers too.To be honest, the crease is the thing that'd ever keep me from getting a folding phone. I don't care how much it's mitigated, it's gonna be there. I'd much prefer two screens and a hinge.
>>109776341Also I checked and you're wrong about the crop factor. The 1/1.28" type sensor has a crop factor of ~3.5x. It can obviously achieve real DOF since we can see that it does, in photos.

Pretty sure the base technology with foldables hasn't really changed since the first gen devices I boughted a cheap pixel fold on ebay and it's pretty much the same exact pros and cons as all the other foldables. Plastic is plastic It's just a shitty idea honestly, just have 2 regular screens in the inside, the seam doesn't matter, no one runs a single app full screen, the whole point is to multitask

>>109777777ok his criticism of the Samsung's 3x is so exactly typical of a gonzooomer.He doesn't understand that the reason it is washed out is they are all starting out with a washed out image, and the others are much more heavily processing the image. That's because of haze (in the atmosphere).He doesn't understand photography, and it shows.>cropping in by 400%doing... what???

Gaiz, did I fuck up ordering the S26U? I'm reading there's tradeoffs with the privacy display even when it's turned off. Fuzzy text. Red tint. Poor viewing angles. All because of this gimmick they'll probably ditch in a couple gens. And that's without the usual green line lottery.
I made the perfect smartphone
Apple Care will get more expensive, once the sheep start breaking their £3000 phones
Looking at a good condition Samsung S24 FE for €280. Good deal?
>>109779586The screen gets a bit darker at extreme viewing angles, other than that I see no problems. But in any case, it's a phone, why would I be looking at it off-angle in the first place? It's literally used by holding it in your hand in front of your face.
What's the best USB-C to 3.5mm DAC for an Android phone? I hear a lot of praise for the Apple dongle, but apparently its max volume is much lower on Android.

Why did people shit their pants over iPhone 17 Pro not having Black color? How fucking boring are you if you blue the default NPC black color? Saying this as someone who doesn't own an iPhone btw.

apple did good with the fold launchI think they will eat folding phone market share bros
>>109781440100% they will. It's not a Samsung with zero quality control. The Samsung folds are already failing to close properly and open evenly.
>>109781467I said in previous thread apple scrambled apple car, because every crash report would damage their brand.If they released flop-alpha-beta tier product everyone would associate failure with their NEW duo.That's pretty much mistake Samsung has done, they are few generations in fold and people will associate all those failures/beta products with their latest one, besides regular failures like android not being polished.If you give option to a richfag he will always buy apple duo over samsung fold in my opinion
>>109781440They're fucking retarded launching their first foldable just as winter is about to begin. So many people are going to ruin their phones by unfolding it in freezing conditions. They also promised that it will support apple pencil on a screen that scratches just from your nails.
>>109780931How is this a apple own?just proves that if Samsung wants to be serious company they need to develop their own OS and completely ditch android.Being google-slave and forcing their ideas about OS/UI/UX is stupid.
>>109781524Don’t pay any attention to that person. It’s just one of the many resident, impoverished, seething, unemployed, children that come here to cry about functional adults, buying new tech and posting it here. stuff that they can only come here to discuss and never actually own in real life upsets them and sets them off.
>>109781440what's the difference to the other foldables?
Samsungs are catching fire, the screen panels are failing and the batteries are exploding. No one will ever trick anyone here into thinking samsungs are quality devices.
The amount of samsung defects versus iphone defects is TREMENDOUS. only samsung holds the title for having made a smartphone banned for life from flying on airplanes.
Legendary moment in smartphone history.
Samsung has known about this issue since the s21…

>The Honor Magic9 Pro Max stars in a hands-on video beforeLooks goofy
What Apple ethos on not including both face ID and touch ID on iphones? Its weird that one phone only has face ID and one phone only has touch ID because apple users have been conditioned to shit on touch ID after it got removed. The Duo is 25% heaver and 15% thicker than the fold 8 so I dont think "no room" is an answer
>Starts making good phones>Locks the bootloaderDoes Xiaomi really?
>>109781604passport dimensions which are superior but with zero compromise, fold 8 is missing a ton of features.
>>109781816I'm surprised.the 11 pro xl got a really good review from GSMarena.I feel like it will be pretty hard for Motorola to top this.maybe the same quality but cheaper?

Why are Samsung devices doing this???
Samsung 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/
What's even the point of new models anymore besides obviously money? They've already achieved everything smartphones can do.
They refuse to acknowledge the defects… they should be forced to do a recall like they had to with the note 7!
A s24 exploded in Korea this past May as well. Nothing to do with hot climate, the smartphones have a massive defect and the company won't recall them until they are forced to like with the Note 7.https://www.phonearena.com/news/s24-catches-fire-in-south-korea_id180345

>>109786367for what purposethey literally sold out 10 years ago
I had some issues with connecting to a dji drone on my rm10turns out it's mostly an issue with android (maybe 16, probably earlier) wifi QOS detection shutting off a connection to a wifi network that doesn't have internet access. This seems like an issue Android should handle instead of trying to fuck its developers over, but whateverended up needing to send a couple of commands over adb to turn QOS checking off entirelythen I had to tell the phone to connect anyway, outside of dji flyI'm trying to connect again and it's frustrating that I need to go outside of the app to connect to the drone wifi independently, it's a dance between android wifi settings and the fly app but now it won't disconnect me once I'm in. moral of the story is that if you buy a dji drone, get a full controller and don't rely one wifi.
