Is Motorola's Moto G line the only option left if you want expandable storage?
>>110003491Only one with a headphone jack too. My moto g power (2025) is still working fine.
>110003526Still waiting on you to post a timestamp of a new flagship smartphone and you never posted the link you claim exists "proving" the photos I post of my smartphones were stolen from some made up website.
>>110003539>>110003491I'm considering getting the 2026 Stylus solely because it's seemingly the only semi-midrange out there with a microSD slot and headphone jack.
>>110003574Motorola makes really decent Androids and they are super slept on. Hopefully you enjoy the stylus one. I am gonna buy the signature 27 possibly just for graphene.

Is Android Chromium browser extension support completely fucked?Kiwi Browser (Dead, 23 versions behind)Microsoft Edge (Forces your search bar to prompt Copilot, can't export bookmarks)Cromite (2 versions behind)Other than Chromium it's Firefox which loves to crash. and doesn't let you export your bookmarks. No matter what you want to try, if you want to switch you get cucked or have to be 99 versions behind. Is there a secret browser that just works that I don’t know about or something?
>>110004631>>110004704great numbers tbqh. higher than the soc in the s26 ultra and red magic 11s pro.https://wccftech.com/apples-a20-pro-shatters-geekbench-6-records-beats-m5-max/
>>110004729firefox + ublock origin + nxtdns is all you will ever need. you can even add 4chanx.
I went to my local electronics store to look at all the foldables today. Here are my thoughts:>ZFold 8 UltraI liked this one the most out of all of them. The only thing I actively dislike is how tall it is, if it had an aspect ratio like the Pixel Fold it'd be perfect (apart from my dislike for One UI).>ZFold 8I don't like the form factor at all, feels awkward to use both folded and unfolded.The only thing I liked about is the typing experience. I type with both thumbs and have larger hands so I was less prone to fat fingering.I wanted to see what content consumption was like but it had no internet connection.I was really excited for the Duo but I lost all interest now.It also feels really cheap for some reason, as does the Ultra. Feels like light plastic.>Google Pixel 10 Pro FoldThis one has the best cover screen and OS out of the bunch, but it's super heavy and I hate the asymmetry more than I thought I would. It also has really fat bezels on both screens. Feels very clunky.
>>110005505Oppo Find N6?
>>110004729You can use extensions on Vivaldi. Then again...you have to use Vivaldi.
>>110005655Not him but I used Vivaldi on desktop for a few years. It has fewer nonsense features than Opera, and its gestures were better, but man was it buggy af. Random websites wouldn't work, sometimes big ones like YouTube. Now I just use Opera and try and disable all the dogshit new "features" they keep adding.
>>110004958Was the Pixel 11 Pro Fold not available to look at? The problem with Fold phones is they're fragile. The Fold 8 Ultra has a good slim form factor which is ruined when you put a case on it but it's the only way to have one of these phones. I've got full Samsung Care Plus coverage but I wouldn't rock the phone without a case, one because of the sense of fragility and two because it's easier to open. If you don't have a case on, the phone is actually too thin and hard to open. The Pixel is a tank compared to the Samsung phone and it has a better IP rating as well.
Why does Google even try anymore?
>>110004704The Galaxy S26 Ultra overheated causing it to crash after less than 15 minutes and its temperature reached 47°C while the Pixel 11 Pro XL was lagging and the iPhone 18 Pro Max was running smoothly during the heavy workload test.
>>110006628Please stop posting.
>walled garden Google will be locking down Android harder…. it’s so over.
>>110005563I like Oppo but we don't have any chink phones in stores here
I bought a basic bitch S25 today, anybody have one of these? Just wanted a basic reliable phone
>>110008174Great device, great choice and way more than just a basic smartphone. Enjoy anon.

Is there any way to bypass the SECURE_FLAG and take a screenshot of the apps that don't allow it without rooting?I know I probably won't get an answer here, but doesn't hurt to shoot my shot.I even tried samsung dex for windows but it doesn't work. connecting the phone to a monitor directly does show the app though, but of course there is no way to take a screenshot directly from the monitor itself.
>>110009738he gets paid 2 rupees per post by apple bangladesh
>>110005563Why did people fall for the crease issue if you are using any foldable including in sunny areas you still don't see it unless you turn the screen off or look at it at a weird angleThere is no point in caring unless the crease existing would damage the phone
>>110009966You can mod the app itself
>>110010359That would be easily detectable. Don't want risking my account getting banned.Another option I have been thinking of is using an emulator, but not sure how easy it is to hide the fact that you are using an emulator.
>>110009738>>110010133Cringe!

>>110003574And wireless charging. The trifecta of SD card, headphone jack and wireless charging is almost extinct.
>>110005655I use Vivaldi just fine. If anything gives me serious trouble, which almost never happens, I just use another browser for that specific task.
>>110008174If it had a headphone jack and SD card, I would buy one tomorrow. As it is, it's a compromised device.

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. 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. The new Siri ai did better even though it was a beta.https://youtu.be/d5wocIfmNbM?is=pe-m70UutkI313Tp
Whose fucking idea was it to sequester the SD card and SIM card slots into a slot that can only be accessed through a microscopic tiny fucking hole?I had to stab myself with a needle multiple times, and now the needle broke twice. I can't even use something stronger than a needle, because the hole is fucking tiny so anything more durable will simply not enter.Whose idea was it to put the SD hole right beside the microphone hole? No fucking wonder the microphone doesn't record audio very clearly. I bet the previous owner raped the fuck out of the microphone trying to open the SD/SIM slot.
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/aJhO-bQbszo?is=uTu1If641ggSlMhy

>>110011632A sim ejector comes with literally any smartphone, are you retarded? Even then, just use a paperclip instead of a sharp fucking needle.
>>110011632use paperclip my man and stop bitching bout such mundane things.
>>110011708I bought secondhand and have no paperclip. Who the fuck came up with this horrible idea anyways?I just looked it up and it was Apple. Iphonefags ruining everything as always.
>>110011723>n-no dont point out shitty design nooooo>my iphone faggotry is the best noooo
>>110011741I really can't relate anon. There where way worse sim card slots back in the day than this one.Like the ones on cheap nokias where you had to bend whole card and it would be held in place just with two plastic tabs and getting it out - good luck with that.Also not having a paper clip but having fucking needle?
>>110011779At least you don't need a special-purpose tool to take the SIM out.And what, don't you have a mother or grandma who sews? Never had to sew anything in your life?You can hold paper together with different things and don't even need to hold them, just put them in a folder or seal. That's why we have no paperclips here.

>>110012591I tried e/OS a few years back. The OS itself was just a iOS clone so as not to scare the normal folk. Using your own launcher, it becomes a better experience but I preferred LOS without Mindthegapps flashed. As for banking apps, just use the web browser.

>>110012909Ms paint for someone like you? You are not that important bud. Trust me.
>>110012836Some banking apps won't work if they detect an unlocked bootloader, missing Google Play Services, etc.
>>110012926If that is so, why are you constantly samefagging yourself, having the constant impulse of trying to shit at other OEM users, having to continue faking your samefags and argue with people endlessly on an internet forum?
>>110012909iSaar doesn't even have a usable paint program on saarOS, they've never been able to make one in 30 years
>>110003393i pay like £3 a month for my "service provider". i'm pretty sure it's still £3 or thereabouts. i have no clue what that's supposed to do with anything.

>screen on my S24+ breaks>oh well I should be able to recover all my data somehow>by connecting to a PC maybe>except I can't, because of some one ui gayass update and some setting that allows you to unlock it and operate it using a PC monitor is disabled by default>have to pay 200 bucks for a new screen>a whole new great phone is like 300 bucksWhat phone should I get that doesn't have this aids cancer bullshit that fucks you over if your screen breaks, and also do you guys know of some other workaround? Whoever thought of changing that shit should literally get cancer. I should just be able to connect to a dock via USB-C and output to a monitor via HDMI. I'm thinking of getting a Motorola.Fuck samsung.
>>110012958You are truly pathetic. I'm out of words.
>>110012820>>110012854Apple does it again. Maybe Samsung can accomplish this soon.
>>110004958i would be on Firefox if I wouldn't have needed an autistic workflow to export my bookmarks, that's the only problem I have, though i still like chromium more.>>110009945>>110005655both good suggestions. i thought it was fucked but it actually seems hopeful since a bunch of browsers are adding it just this year, even shill lion is making some progress, though vivaldi and titanium seem to just work.
>>110012963Buy or borrow a OTG USB-C adapter with HDMI and multiple USB-A & C slots. Connect the phone to a monitor, connect a keyboard and mouse and use Dex to download what you need onto a USB stick or connected drive. Then, buy a new screen from iFixit or somewhere, use the online guide and install a new screen yourself. It's not hard mate.
>>110012963Get the Motorola and never waste your hard earned money on a scamming brand.>>110012998>just jump through all these hoops because Samsung can’t make a user friendly product Ew.
>>110012963Just checked and it's a £175 for a new screen and tools which is a bit pricey so you might want to shop around or get an new phone. At least you'll be able to get your data of it though with Dex. Next time, make sure ADB is always switched to on in dev options.
>>110012998>>110013034I'm connecting it and DeX isn't doing shit.>>110013017Just got a call for a Motorolla Edge 70 Fusion. I'll go get it in a bit, but I need my scamsung data...
screen aside, Chat told me my phone doesn't have display output even if I connect a cable, I think my USB-C port is fucked anyway, fuck any and all phones at this point, i really cannot be fucked anymore
>>110013017>jump through hoopsConnecting the phone up to a monitor is hardly taxing. If the anon wants to lose all their data then it's up to them. And at least Samsung give you the option of using Dex for the higher end phones out of the box. Any other manufacturer and you'd be out of luck. Even Pixels with dev option output to a monitor isn't set as on by default.
>>110013053Sorry mate, short of taking it apart and soldering in a new port, not much else you can do.
>>110012814Thanks for the tips anon.>>110012929The Fairphone allows you to unlock/lock the bootloader and ships with it locked, so that shouldn't be a problem.I didn't know they could detect Google Play Services though. Is that true even if, for example, microG is installed?
>>110013087>I didn't know they could detect Google Play Services thoughNot merely google play services. They do Play Integrity safety attestation. If your bootloader is not locked and not in a stock rom like good little goy you are, then you are banished from banking apps by the Mighty Emperor Qualcomm. Who is sole owner of your device and blesses us mortals with proprietary blobs so we can watch 4K hollywood content and waste our time.

Lessons to be learnt are :Buy and fit a reputable laminate screen protector Buy and use a decent case, Otterbox or Spigen but even a cheap one from Amazon offers some protection.Always have USB debugging activated.
>>110013099This is absolutely dystopic.Can I at least use my web browser like >>110012814 suggested? Or will they also be arses about it?
>>110013087The Anon below your post is correct; basically if an app maker decides you can't run their app without stock Android or iOS, then you're shit out of luck. Luckily most banks don't want to lose your custom over shit like that, but it's never a sure bet these days.
>>110013117I had an erection from that.>Can I at least use my web browser like >>110012814 suggested? Or will they also be arses about it?In my country only apps are supported. Will be same for yours sooner or later.
>>110013115>Always have USB debugging activated.why?
>>110013117Some banks have added app verification when you're logging into a web browser. Call your bank and tell them you want 2FA by SMS as you want to use your browser. In some prefectures, the banks are lawfully compelled to do this.
>>110013123Yeah, I guess I would switch banks in that case, and give them the clear feedback that it is solely based on their retarded app decisions.
>>110013126So you can use ADB to pull your data off the phone is the screen is u/s.
>>110013137Anyone in Europe knows if it is outright illegal for banks to do this around here?At least I haven't seen anyone with custom roms having problems with that.
>>110013162>Anyone in Europe knows if it is outright illegal for banks to do this around here?Nope. It's over.>At least I haven't seen anyone with custom roms having problems with that.In old days of SafetyNet, it was very easy to bypass with a few Magisk modules and checkers. Nowadays, it is impossible. Keyboxes must be verified, they are stored and verified in Google's servers. There are occasional leaks but Google revokes them like there's no tomorrow.Give up, goy. It's over. You will not investigate further. You will own nothing and be happy with ze bugs. You will continue to watch BBC cuckold porn and eat more goyslop.
>>110013153Doesn't that allow ANYONE to pull the data out of your phone?Anyway, I don't keep anything exclusively on my phone.I backup everything. A phone is a flimsy, unreliable device that can break/be lost/stolen at any moment.
>>110013139Yeah. Likewise it's always good to remind a decent company that a major reason you're using them over their competition is things like acknowledging the existence of GrapheneOS.>>110013162Pretty sure banks in the UK can do whatever the fuck they want, they just can't legally hold your funds hostage if/when you decide to switch banks.
>>110013174I will switch banks until the very last one of them does this.And when the last one does, I will move into the mountains and live of the land.>>110013181>you're using them over their competitionI meant it the other way around.I will tell the bank I'm leaving because their app only works on arbitrary devices, while their competitors don't have this problem.They don't like to be compared unfavourably to their competitors.>banks in the UKSorry, I meant EU. The UK is not back in the EU (yet).
>>110013162lolno. if anything, banks are usually legally compelled to implement muh security measures like some boomer version of 2fa. it's hard to imagine the laws going in the opposite direction.
>>110013206>I will switch banks until the very last one of them does this.Honestly, I gave up. I'm using debloated stock rom. It's an arms race and they are always ahead. It was becoming too much to handle all of this nonsense, it just works. I own two phones now. One for banking and other IRL stuff other one is rooted.
>>110013206Do you have a problem with someone adding things to the conversation when they're not directly relevant to you, specifically?
>>110013224>>110013220Well, yeah, having one isolated old phone just for banking is a solution.But can't you just use the browser as an alternative?Are the banks really willing to lose some customers over something as retarded as this?>>110013234Sorry, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything.I was just clarifying what I meant, as I was a big vague.
>>110013255>Are the banks really willing to lose some customersNo normal people roots or flashes custom rom to their phones. They lose less than %0.0001 of their customers. They don't care.>But can't you just use the browser as an alternative?For my banks? That concept doesn't even exist. It must be the app
>>110013284Are you telling me your banks don't have a web page for home banking?I don't know a single bank here that has fully abandoned the web page.
>>110013255>Are the banks really willing to lose some customers over something as retarded as this?It's no big loss to them. Aftermarket ROM users may as well not exist to them at all.>But can't you just use the browser as an alternative?Usually, yes. Which makes their whole premise even more retarded.>>110013284Boomer banks usually allow websites (sometimes requiring a mobile app to authenticate anyway), "neobanks" tend to be app only or have an incredibly gimped website.
>>110013176Only if you allow someone to connect a usb cable to your mobile phone, which I would never do. Plus there are other safeguards. The phone and isn't rooted and never leaves my sight so I'm happy enough leaving it on.
>>110013291Revolut, Monzo, Starling, etc. The app is a hard requirement, if there's a website then it's some bullshit that doesn't let you actually do anything.
>>110013061Samsung is not giving me the option after their recent one ui update, unless I changed some random setting in advance, which I wouldn't have known about. Unless I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not getting a picture.
I wouldn't be having an issue if SD cards were still a thing. I sincerely hope whoever decided to drop SD cards and whoever decided to make that braindead one ui update both get cancer and die in a fire after getting raped.
>>110013296>>110013284>Aftermarket ROM users may as well not exist to them at all.>They lose less than %0.0001 of their customersI will fight that how I can.Also, /e/OS is not even an aftermarket ROM.>sometimes requiring a mobile app to authenticate anywayYeah, that brings us back to the app problem again.>>110013307>Revolut, Monzo, StarlingDo any of those demand device attestation anyway?
>>110013604>I wouldn't be having an issue if SD cards were still a thing.>*SD card formats itself*>nothin personnel ;^^)Don't kid yourself. The real issue is that like almost everyone on the planet, you didn't have a backup, which you wouldn't have had regardless of where your shit was stored.
>>110013301>Only if you allow someoneAn attacker won't ask for your permission.You are one distraction away from someone stealing all your digital shit.
>>110013429The OTG adapter, has it got a power in USB-C? If it does, could your phone charger to it and switch it on. Try a different HDMI cable. Is your monitor on the right source?
>>110013667I know the risks.
>>110013677*connect
>>110013651>Do any of those demand device attestation anyway?From what I've heard:>Monzo just shows a warning but doesn't stop you using it>Starling requires a locked bootloader (I think)>Revolut broke for Graphene users recently, not sure if they fixed it or doubled down on it
>>110013162You're correct about the EU. I've heard of stories of people getting pay offs from their bank for not being able to access their account by traditional means when their local branch has closed and they've complained to the ombudsman.

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
>>110013838You're probably right but I'm genuinely not bothered as I know the phone is secure in my pocession. I always have it and when I go out on a night out or socialise, I use another phone. I do backup regularly but even so, I've known too many people who've been burnt in the past losing access to data because of a damaged digitiser or screen. Again, I know the risks.

I’m thinking about buying the S25 Ultra or the S26 Ultra. Should I? Are there any other phones in that price range?
>>110015719It doesn't matter if mine was from June 2026 to September 2026. What matters is the numbers as of the last report - i.e. the present numbers. Yours doesn't even list Google, which is on par with Huawei.
>>110016234Mine is for aug-sep of this year goofy. Not my job to explain how data and charts work. Pay attention in school.
This is a longshot, but I remember an Android APK for a Pokemon Showdown client app, didn't work any different than the website but would DC way less often when I tabbed out on mobile browser. Anyone know where I can get it? Seems Play and Fdroid don't have it.
>>110016251Past is irrelevant. Current market share is all that matters. No one in this thread works for any of those companies and needs to worry about prediction models based on past market share. It doesn't matter what people were using in August of last year. It matters what they're using right now. Dumb nigger. I was a literal accounts executive at the corporate office for one of the largest global mobility providers (that's mobile devices in case you're too stupid to know that, don't want you to think we're talking about rascal scooters like the one your downsy ass uses to get around) and was in the room when the agreement between that carrier and one of the top brands was reached. I did shots out of a stripper's belly button with people from Samsung, RIM and LG (Apple's exec reps were fucking pussies and left)
>>110016918you literally don’t have any reading comprehension. My chart is from August and September of this year, not last year. Learn how to properly read. Stop just randomly posting your false opinions just because you have zero reading comprehension. How embarrassing. you literally don’t even know what you’re talking about. nobody cares about your fantasy made up stories kek!
>>110016918>Chart literally says Aug - Sept 2026lol you can’t read >>110002798
>>110016985Holy fuck you're dumb. I wasn't saying your chart was from last year, I was saying IT DOESN'T MATTER because the only part that matters is CURRENT market share, unless this is some kind of Samsung board meeting on a /spg/ and I missed the memo. No one gives a flying fuck about what it was previously but people actually involved in the sales of the devices. It also doesn't change the fact that yours is missing a whole global brand you mong. Fuck you're stupid.

The first smartphone I ever owned was a iPhone 4, and I've never bought another iPhone since.Why?Not only did it feel like it had built in obsolescence but each new software update in the app store or the phones firmware seemed to reduce its functionality.It felt like it was progressively losing functionality since the day I bought it.Now, don't get me wrong, Androids do become obsolete. But it feels less like a planned death by a thousand updates

>>110020531The port is not broken. You can't connect to dex without changing settings, and you can't change settings without unlocking the phone, and you can't unlock the phone with a keyboard, if you don't change a setting for that beforehand as well.

Kinda regret buying a Motorola. Shit sucks.
>>110027669Why, what happened? I was planning on getting a fusion, but I am not sure.
>>110027751It's my fault really, because I knew for a fact I wouldn't like a curved screen, but still got it. Who the fuck thought of that shit? Can anyone list a single benefit to curved screens? It fucking sucks massive ass. Other than that, the Motorola apps don't do anything for me. Nothing is useful or needed. The phone can't run GrapheneOS or LineageOS. Some random quirks that annoy the fuck out of me, like swiping up to unlock my phone, and this shit going back down not letting me enter my pin. Double tap to wake randomly just not working. Constantly disconnecting and reconnecting at random intervals during fast charging. Some random small things that don't have a setting I can't bother naming.I mean like it's aight I guess. It works...
>>110025668I think all of those are too bad to buy at any price desu. I guess if I had to get one it would be the OPPO A6c since the base version has 4GB RAM and the largest battery.Is there no better chip for <$200
>>110026935Apple is in second place though lol imagine coping this hard. LOL!
