Is a Samsung A07 worth the price for a 4gb/128gb phone?It's priced higher than the usual chinese phones but the lack of ads seems worth it.

>>110092496So an old flagship? S20 Ultra or S22+ are the ones in the same price range.
someone please make a small phone, take me back to the golden days of smartphones
>>110092350I have the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra. I love it and it's really fun to use, but it's not really worth it if you don't have the money just lying around (both for it and for a new phone immediately).Basically the inner screen is insanely fragile since the screen protector it comes with is plastic, so you can scratch it with your fingernail; dust gets in the hinge all the time both from outside and on the sides on the inner screen where the hinge is, I've gotten into the habit of always wiping the hinge first before unfolding; I would not trust its alleged water resistance for shit and won't use it in the rain because of that; you can't really open it safely with one hand, this is more of an issue with "flip" style foldables since there are some things that can only really be done on the inner screen; and the screen protector it comes with is basically guaranteed to peel off by itself in ~1-2 years, at which point you need to extremely carefully remove it yourself, and you void the warranty if you do it before that.That said, if you're okay with these drawbacks, it's really fun to use generally. Using it half-folded on a table to be able to watch something without holding it or reading recipes etc. is quite nice, flipping it open to answer calls and closing it to end calls is fun, and generally it's really satisfying to just flip it closed when you're done with it; also when using the camera with it open it can display a preview on the outer screen, so someone can tell you in real time how to adjust the shot if you're taking a picture of them. But that's all it really is, it's fun and feels nice.The only practical advantage is its smaller size that fits much better in smaller pockets and tighter purses, but this again is exclusive to the "flip" style foldables; the others have a bigger screen, but personally I have never wanted or needed a tablet, I have a laptop and that's way better than a tablet would be for any use that may require the bigger screen.
>A17 doesn't have a headphone jackWhat the fuck.

>>110092330New a07 for sure. Fresh battery and longer software support. S22 of the camera is important.>>110092586Get a s23 ultra senpai. S20 ultra is too old and will lose updates in 2 years. The s23 will give you more time with fresh updates.
>>110092735>S23 UltraIt's 3 times the price of a new A07.A used S22+ or S20 Ultra is the same price as a new A07...I don't need the cameras.
>>110092405I have A04s and A06 and they can't even run any browser properly. A34, A26 and A37 way outperform and seem smooth compared to any A0x.

Where are my fellow based and employed iPhone Duo chads? Heard the delivery dates should be changing to earlier dates too! January is very far away, but I got plenty of other new flagships to mess around with until than. :^)
>>110092216The A17 was tolerable for me for a week or two, but even having 2 apps open, one of them would reload while multitasking.The only thing I liked about it was the screen and battery life.Charging speed was dogshit though.
>>110093070I would take it over the A07 instantly if it had a headphone jack.
Just get an iPhone already and stop embarrassing yourself.
Is Lenovo Legion Y70 a good phone? I found one that is slight cheaper than Poco F8 pro. And I can upgrade it to 16GB (I don't know if I need it). And it become same price as F8 pro.

>>110093192A17 or A07?
>>110093231I used the A17, but they have the same chip and RAM so it'll be the same performance. The AMOLED was super nice to have though, cheap LCDs suck ass.

>>110093078"Budget" is sub $600 now. The Pixel 10a is considered a budget phone. Then again when your average flagship costs between $1000-1300, I suppose literally half that price would be considered budget.

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
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=5vu2cbq6pXgtLkR9

>>110100278Brand new:>Samsung A37 6GB for long software support, better battery life, a bit better chipset>Moto G Stylus 2025 for 8GB RAM, microsd and headphone jack, built-in stylus, much brighter screenRefurbished you can get S24 or a million other phones.
>>110100495If you pay more than $500 or equivalent you're an OPP and mentally buck broken by the corporations. People will get $1000 phones "super cheap" then pay for retarded cell phone plans that make them waste more money like good goy cattle.
>>110100553On this topic. I'm trying to help an old lady keep her number and have a simple phone. She had a Verizon pay by month plan but got swindled into a family plan by some fucking faggot before dumping her off the plan and now this poor old lady has to deal with a $900 iPhone plan that she can't afford because she's old and dying and doesn't even know how to use a smartphone.Will Verizon just take the iPhone back, give her her number back and let her just use her old phone again? The jeets on the customer service lines can't comprehend a situation like this, obviously.
>>110100655Maybe she can get out of it if she got it within the past 2 weeks or a month. Worth trying going to a store in person.
>>110100495>>110100553New flagship smartphones are over $1,000. Imagine trying to act like people buying new tech that you can't afford is being pro corporations. >>110100655That's not how Verizon works... You can't remove without cancelling the line and that makes the phone turn off and remaining balance becomes due too. If you have a Verizon account and add a line with a device payment you can't just kick that line out of your account so easily.
>>110100495To be fair Red Magic is awesome. But I wouldn't buy it.
Do I really need 16GB ram for my phone or can I get away with 12 GB?
>>110101205Depends, do you know how to delete files?
>>110101247What ram have anything to do with storage?
>>110100990>>you can't just kick that line out of your account so easilyThe old lady got sent a link from somewhere that I guess relinquished her tons separate, non existent account and the iPhone is still on it and they can't pick up the IMEI from her old phone's prepaid plan? It's going to be a long fucking day at the Verizon store trying to help her. I fucking hate cellphone companies so much it's unreal.
>>110101266>ram>smartphonesLmao. A phone from 5 years ago will work just fine. What're you trying to get Fortnite to run on you phone at 120fps or something? It's a fucking phone.
Smartphones are the new cars. Sure the $250 one works just fine but everyone is telling you that you NEED the $1500 one because it has a feature you won't even use.
That is what they said 10 years ago. Oh, you only 4GB RAM at most and anymore is overpowered. Now if you don't have at least 24GB, you are bricked.

New plan is to wait until the galaxy s27 ultra comes out. Going to decide between it, the iphone 18 pro max and the motorola signature 27. Never used an iphone so I'm curious but I just can't decide if it's worth trying one. I've never actually owned any good phone before now but I finally have some money. Hopefully there are some good reviews for them by February.
In the current year, do you go for an android or iOS phone? I have a 2020 iPhone SE that I've been wanting to upgrade from. No real attachment beyond iMessage but thats a nothingburger
>>110106576iOS has genuinely been incredibly buggy in recent years, I'd go for Android
>>110106591You're just making things up. Lmao.
>>110106558iPhone is kino. Remember that 4chan is always populated by contrarians who rail against anything popular and mainstream like it’s their job. There’s a reason iPhone is so popular. Android is great for for young people who want to fiddlefuck and obsess over obscure capabilities that may or may never even be used. Apple just gives you a great phone that “just works” and has incredible integration into the rest of the Apple ecosystem that genuinely makes life easier.
>>110106652What if I have zero interest in ever owning a mac or smart watch? I just want phone to play games, text/call and use as a gps.
>>110106601>>110106652Perfect example of android vs ios see: >>110092378
>>110106663Then it’s still fine. It’s just great to have the option to seamlessly be able to bring other Apple devices into your stable and have them integrate with zero efffort. Even on its own an iPhone is still great. I used to be the guy who was all about tinkering with android, loading up custom ROMs and obsessing in niche functionalities. Eventually I just got tired of managing my phone and wanted something that worked flawlessly without having to think about it and that’s an iPhone.
>>110106576If you do want to kinda do more power user stuff, android easily. Cloning apps for instance is something that Apple will never ever ever allow you to do. Or install an APK from a non app store source. Or like a file browser. Basically if you want to use your phone more like a PC I guess. Anything technical just by nature works better on android cause that's their shtick. Like cracked spotify won't ever exist on ios. Apple has better hardware/software integration where android just throws more megapixels, ram and a bigger battery at the problem. Like iphones have insane standby time. You can leave a 100% charged iphone overnight and maybe lose 1%. On android there's a good chance you're losing 10-20%. But being a closed ecosystem if there's something you can't do on ios at this point, you're unlikely to ever be able to do itI've owned a lot of android phones going back from like uh, a galaxy note 2. And android has come a long way but in so many ways it still has the same fundamental problems I saw back then. Power management still sucks, memory management sucks they just threw more ram at it, etc. The software sucks at communicating with the hardware. Like I don't miss finding custom kernels to save some battery life, it's just silly on a phone. Also getting updates are still a problem, but way less of a problem than in the pastMy train of thought sounds all over the place but unless you want to do something specific on android, you're almost always going to be happier on ios.
>>110106701Hmmm alright I'll think about it. I've got friend who switched a few years ago and swears by it. Going to take a look at his and see if he can shill me on it. But I've been browsing other sites that talk about phones and man there's a long stream of complaints about them. Certain carriers bricking them, overheating and just a million complaints. But I see the same shit for samsung as well. Feels like I'm just gambling from a pile of shit and hoping to get the least shitty thing. I miss my old brick phone with the Snake game. Those were better times.
>>110106701Also is there a reason iphones never go on sale? I can get an s26 ultra for a couple hundred dollars from tmobile but the iphone is full price and I looked online and couldn't find it discounted anywhere. How do they get away with having no sales. Do they even go on sale on black friday or any time?
>>110106736Not that anon but because you're still gonna buy it anyway. They don't need to do discounts You can sometimes get a deal on a refurb or a new in box older model (which is still really good)
>>110106766That doesn't make any sense, everyone is going to buy something anyways. Why not charge 100 dollars for a big mac and a thousand dollars for the latest marvel slop movie ticket? Everyone needs a pc why not charge a million dollars for that too? Seems silly to just have one company say they aren't going to do any sales ever. If anything it makes me less inclined to try them when I could buy 3 competitor phones for the same money spent.
>>110106784Why can you get a deal on a new Hyundai as opposed to a Toyota? Same shit
>>110106799Toyotas are on sale all the time what are you smoking?
>>110106803Even if somewhat true they're never ever ever near as discounted as a hyundai because again, they sell on reputation alone.
>>110106732Never had issues with mine. Can’t think of anyone I know who’s had any serious issues either and basically everyone I k is uses an iPhone. They just work. >>110106736>Also is there a reason iphones never go on sale?Because they don’t have to.
>>110106863>Because they don’t have to.That isn't a reasonable argument. People need phones, why not just set the price at 5k for every phone on the market since people need them.
>>110106875It's priced at what the market will bear. There are multiple tiers of iphone to choose from and if you want "better" specs from an android phone, those are available too. You can get a deal on a locked phone from a carrier though, especially with a new line.It's been the same way probably since android came out. I could get an iPhone 4 for $199 on contract or a Motorola DROID for $99, maybe they were even free.
>>110106875>That isn't a reasonable argumentIt’s perfectly reasonable. You’re the one being unreasonable by expecting market forces to bend to your whim.
>>110106902>motorola droidwhile we're at it who remembers the nexus one
The S25 Ultra was the most easily hacked smartphone device. It was all done in front of a live audience and you can watch the video yourselves. Knox is a meme.

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.
My mom wants a fold 8, getting worried she's buying risky new tech. Anyone here have one? What has your experience been?
I just upgraded from iphone 14 pro max to a samsung galaxy s26 ultra. I feel retarded after this. Idk why. Ive had a samsung previously and it was a great phone but that was a half decade ago. Feel like i may return it and just use the iphone until it dies.
>>110107448Kek. Don’t feel too bad, I’ve made the mistake of going back to Samsung before too.
>>110107448If not shitposting could you say why you actually didn't like it?
>>110107655Not him but I was just playing with a fold 8 yesterday which is the first time I’ve touched a Samsung in probably five years or so. Holy shit have they completely fucked up their OS. It felt like a Chinese clone OS or something. Nothing felt polished at all.
Are these threads just pure shitposting?Admittedly there's been no real innovation in phones in years, but still.
>>110107655It doesnt seem like a bad phone, and im able to use the internet way better than on the iphone. Maybe the feeling is that its so much that i dont really need. Its not even a price thing since i didnt pay for it. Idk its like i dont need or deserve it.
>>110107678ZTE trying real hard to hide the selfie punch hole and nearly perfected it (see OP). Alas their software support is neglected. Now that Apple implemented the under-display selfie cam in the Duo, expect others to follow and ZTE soon to be forgotten.
What is the best phone deal for 3 people who want to upgrade phones every 4 years or so? One of those prepaid ones like Mint or one of the big boy carriers? None of us have good phones now so there is nothing to trade in. Is it actually worth it buying a big new phone and paying a huge cost to keep trading it in over time for a new model?
Think I need to finally replace my Note 10+, lack of security updates are starting to disable apps.
Is there any browser that lets me post on this site on a phone with android 9?Can't get past cloudflare with Chrome.

>>110109833I don't know any. It's my first android in years.
Newbie here thinking about upgrading from my shitty OnePlus Nord2 into something good, possibly Samsung? I've seen Samsung S25+ 256 GB at 500 euros, is this a decent offer?
Do furrys prefer samsung or pixel phones?I see a lot of them with the former
Should I just cave in and buy an iPhone?I'm tired of getting no pussy and being a social outcast. I live in the US where this matters
>>110110052Fennec or ironfox
>>110110292Buy an iphone to larp as a normie outside. Keep an midrange android phone for your personal use at home

Samsung has known about this issue since the s21…
Why are Samsung devices doing this???
>>110093794>>110094627>>110110457Many videos are out of people showing the device getting the green line from an official Samsung software update. The OneUI 8.5 update is causing it to happen to the new s26 ultra as well.
They refuse to acknowledge the defects… they should be forced to do a recall like they had to with the note 7!

Anons will tell you Samsung is the best android manufacturer in here... they will argue with you for pointing out the defects. It's the 10 year anniversary of the Note 7 exploding and it's happening again.
