Global Top Used Smartphones Aug-Sept
>>110110496Red Magic 12 or OnePlus 16. I live in the USA and have T-Mobile.
>>110110496Kino OP
>>110110496i need the github link NOW
I've got $400-$500 to blow on a phone, what do I buy anonsNo real preference on ios or android but i do like ios battery life. On the other hand I do like being able to do autistic technical stuff on my phone.Currently have an iPhone 11
>>110111248I would save up more money and probably get a red magic 12.
>>110111328These look terrible
>>110111248Get the iphone 18 pro max
Global Smartphone Sales For 2024 and 2025.
>>110111341Who gives a shit? Throw a case on it and you have top tier flagship specs and insanely big battery plus 80w fast charging. It even comes with the charger.
>>110111531I have a red magic 11 pro. The hardware peak but the software is very bad. My phone has 24gb of ram but lags and freezes trying to screen record YouTube for example. Red Magic only offers 2 years of software support and hardly ever fixes the bugs and glitches with its software. My fans making weird noises now too after less than a year with it. I baby my device and keep it clean and never dropped it too.
How good is Motorola Edge 70 max software?
>>110112090Pretty decent tbqh. Motorola does a good job with software.
>>110111248iPhone 15 Pro if you can manage it. You get USB C and the ability to use external drives to record video onto
>>110110496>android has whitelists for apps to boost to maximum performance, because they'd thermal throttle otherwisefinally a real reason to buy apple
>>110108700Why are you dumbasses recommending Firefox to someone running android 9 the only real option is Via Browser
Can a retard get a recommendation?I have a Galaxy S20 that I've thought about moving on from, back camera is kinda fucked but still somewhat usable I'm interested in a phone that can take more of a beating and also has better camera qualityI have a job that requires me to be outdoors, mostly in the woods and sometimes on urban construction sites, ruggedness is the primary factor I'm looking for. I've used otterbox covers but those always breakdown damn-near immediatelyGood camera quality is the second-most important factor, with storage maybe tied or slightly belowIt might be fuddlore that I invented for myself, but I've had an aversion to iPhone for the past 8 years (which is why I got this phone), the first Iphone I had kept overheating and/or randomly turning off and my 2nd iPhone kept randomly registering random spots on the screen as having been pressed
>>110112975Any modern phone has a good enough camera. If you beat your phones to shit and can't protect them even with a case than you should get the cheapest shit you can and just replace when you break them. A 2025/26 motorola will be fine. Wrap that bitch up and when you bust it just get another one. No point in buying a fancy phone with slick tech if you are going to be innawoods most of the time.
My oneplus 11 is starting to have issues charging. I absolutely love the screen and i hate the idea of going to a worse one. Any suggestions for me?
New In Depth Tech Review video.The Galaxy S26 Ultra overheated causing it to crash 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.https://youtu.be/dVqVGMPsZ-M?is=JRXfeOXAqj8kvPVQ

>>110111341do these have a 5+ year update promise?
>>110113734No only 2 see: >>110111777
how do I get a duo on launch day?
>>110112975iPhone. Unironically just get an iPhone like the entire rest of the western professional world.
>>110113905Buy one off a scalper for $5,000.
>>110113905There’s controversy as to whether or not stores will have any inventory for walk-ins. Unless Apple confirms no walk-in inventory, I am fully expecting stores to have people camping out Thursday night. That’s how high demand is for the duo. My delivery is set for Nov16-23 and I’m actually considering camping out for a launch day model because fuck it I haven’t gotten in line for anything since Halo 2 and I work remote so I’d be getting paid for my time.
Holy shit why does not new phone have high ppi?
>>110113010Thanks, I'm looking into the thinkphone 25>>110114285But y tho
>>110114576>But y thoBecause it’s the best selling phone in the western world for a very good reason. It just works and works well. Plus everyone else is using one so you get to FaceTime and access the deeper Apple ecosystem that android users will never know the joys of. Just join us anon, we aren’t Apple users because they’re holding us hostage. We’re Apple users because we’ve all used other shit and realized Apple is better.
>>110114641Thanks John Apple but your hippie propaganda doesn't work on me. Apple phones are objectively lower quality in almost every way to even a mid tier android phone. Enjoy playing in your kiddie sand pit, try not to eat too many cat turds.
>>110114672K. Enjoy being a spec sheet contrarian. The rest of the world will continue to enjoy our iPhones without you.
I want to upgrade my phone, ive been sitting on this note 10+ since 2019 and its getting noticeably less responsive.Im a stupid chud so i cant be bothered to buy the phone on my own, im gonna be going into bestbuy/costco or at most the telus store in my city and getting it there.The new folding phones look neat, actually part of the reason i want to upgrade.
>>110114722You can root and flash a new rom to it if you don't want to buy a new phone.
>>110114722Folding phones are a meme, they will break much easier and the folding part still isn't even close to perfected. If you are that casual about phones don't be an early adopter. Get a nice phone from 1 or 2 years ago like the Samsung s25 ultra or the base s26.
>>110114641Ehh idkI only have an android because I had two iPhones back-to-back that fucked me overI'm looking at the dual-SIM thinkphone 25 so I can have my primary t-mobile coverage and also Verizon for more remote areas, and apparently with samsung I can make a work folder that will allow me to use work apps and turn them on/off so they don't fuck my phone up when not in useWhat's iphone's counter-offer?
>>110114741>Folding phones are a meme,
>>110114748>What's iphone's counter-offer?You'll get more pussy if you hang out at swanky downtown bars.
>>110113626Apple has lower resolution
>>110113626I'm waiting to see what the s27 ultra can deliver.
The TechNick BENCHMARK test video is super based too. No wonder the anon is posting OLD stuff without the iPhone 18 Pro Max in it. https://youtu.be/xpXYYQ6SNdw?is=IvANeEJ_6kNUgMsl
>>110114748I don’t have a counter offer because I have a separate work phone provided to me. I would never let my company have access to my personal device. >>110114785Honestly that’s not untrue. I meet a lot of women on tinder and similar apps and you would be shocked how many women considered a man with an android phone to be a dealbreaker. Not saying they’re right or justified but it is what it is. I have in fact gotten laid partly because I use an iPhone.
>>110114785>bro you can go to the barcade and get a nice hoppy IPA, and maybe a fat skank with a bitchy personality will let you eat out her disease-ridden roastbeef!
So are we expecting the s27 pro/ultra to go up in price? I have been out of the loop since the s24 series since every time I checked it was the same camera sensors. (I have an S23U)
>>110114922My job also provides a work phone, but it's an iPhone and I can't make an account to download the work apps because IT are retarded boomers, and without it there's a chance they'd ask me to put even dumber shit on my phone
>>110113494>>110113626>>110114877Great numbers tbqh. Higher than the soc in my S26 Ultra, OnePlus 15, Red Magic 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. What is Qualcomm doing?https://wccftech.com/apples-a20-pro-shatters-geekbench-6-records-beats-m5-max/
>>110114947>geekbenchnobody trust that trash
>>1101149251500 minimum.
>>110114991You made that all up! LMAO! Qualcomm shows off the Geekbench scores at EVERY new soc event.
>>110114925The same sensors, but with upgraded hardware and software. I had the s24 ultra & the s25 ultra. Big differences across all 3.https://www.instagram.com/p/DWlwtsUEVhI/
>>110115132Looking at this comparisons, am I right to conclude that low light shots haven't improved much? The difference is obvious in daytime pictures here but the night time ones seem like really subtle to the point of being identical. I am a total photography novice though
>>110110496Whats the point in this shit? Fuck morphe youtube
>>110115132>>110115227Expert raw image from a few days ago
>>110115051nobody reputable uses geekbench as a metric for anything
>>110115332You made that all up once again, Geekbench 6 is used by all major chip makers and is discussed and displayed at all Qualcomm soc events. The makers of the chips seem to find it important. You don’t want it discussed here because you don’t like Apple looking good.
Here's the newest TechNick BATTERY test video! https://youtu.be/leXTwxc9dSU?is=qvq9UqivYvXYbXBF
>>110115405Chip makers use it as a metric to compare themselves to Apple but Geekbench has a reputation to skewing benches to favor Apple. No reputable benchmarker uses it.
>>110115527Chat, is this true?
>>110115320Don't get me wrong this is really cool but I'm very much a point and shoot guy (for now) so it's more about the daily casual use for me versus squeezing everything I can for every picture if that makes sense
>>110115556yes
>>110115463TOTAL CHINESE VICTORY
>>110115600Yeah man. I'm no expert or owt but I got some decent pics from my old s23. Haven't tried similar pics with the 26u. Would you be better off with a cheap dlsr?
>>110115600Well, i took this one in my garden a while back.
>>110115635Nah I'd really not want to carry anything else around. I definitely have also grabbed nice pics with my S23U but just wanted to see if there were some improvements in the line. Of which there are for sure. Will see how the s27 shakes up with the letter battery too. >>110115653The colors in this are vibrant
>>110115671Sounds like a plan bro. They should improve it but you never know what they'll come up with.>vibrant Think it was just normal photo mode too. I Should start taking photos on my daily walks. Gonna start the morrow i think.
is there a less cumbersome to torrent on an iphone?
