Your time has come, Pixel 6 owners :^) What? You really thought your phone is supported for 5 years?

First for fuck samshit and aplefags

One UI 8 is the absolute best Android distro out there!

You're a slowpoke. :3

>we will make /spg great again
Stay vigilant, shills are in this thread. They will make fake stories up about how amazing a $400 mid tier is and it's just nonsense. Check the benchmarks and user reviews, don't listen to people shilling brands only bought in regions where majority of the population is poor and can't afford modern flagships by Apple, Samsung or Google.
$1,100 is not a lot of money for people in first world countries with jobs, the shills are working overtime to make you buy a cheap handset.
With Christ shining his light on this thread we will prevail. Keep ignoring the demonic shills, give them no (YOU) and keep posting the truth.

>saar vivo, oppo, xiaomi, and poco are the best ignore all scientific data proving otherwise please redeem small monetary savings and do the needful coping and seething

>saar this unknown lower quality device hated by reviewers and scoring lower on benchmarks is the best flagship available

Pixelbros, it's over

Why is my iPhone from India so bad? Can anyone help me get the better Chinese one?

>be apple

>50% becomes unusable

great news apple allows you to refuse indian made apple iphones in store you can exchange them for the better manufactured ones.
pic rel is how to spot the one you never want.
avoid all india made trash.

>>105578901
ad hominem faggot. s25u is trash and so is iphococks

>>105578940
i own an s25u and it blows cocks like you

Only devices that matter, any other phone is bought by impoverished uneducated consumers. Be smart by flagships from Apple, Samsung or Google only. No amount of cope is going to make your mid tier better. If your mid tier was so nice it would be global and not only popular in Saarville.

>/spg tech saaaaaarport reminder

Anyone shilling for one brand or device without backing up the claims with benchmarks or user reviews is a liar. Don't trust poorfags who have to make up fantasies about a $300 device matching up with a globally sold and admired flagship over $1,100. These same fake tech enthusiasts will than tell you to ignore benchmarks so you reply to them using reviews backing up the benchmarks. Don't let these impoverished people trick you into buying devices only sold in a specific region full of people who can barely afford to spend $400. lol lmao even

>>105579062
>admired flagship
literally who? no one wants samsung. and we already established over a decade ago only faggots and women buy iphones

imagine being so poor you can't own all 3 new flagships

>>105579075
>having 3 phones
fucking why?

fresh out the box iphone made in india coming damaged out of the box.
it's very interesting how a brand can move to a certain place full of people who will ruin everything they have accomplished to be the most popular smartphone and are only able to sell 50% made there due to faults in manufacturing
avoid all phones from places like this and shills who say otherwise

hello saaaaaaaars please telling me which mobile to redeem for best selfie camera to take pics with white females visiting india. i promise not to say i touched their bobs or vagenes*
should i redeem pooco, oppoo, onepoo, xiaomeme, LeGay, motr00nola or railme and do the needful and install gaypeen os?

No amount of shilling will stop us from making this general great again. We will call out false statements and not let poorfags trick people into thinking a horrible branded device for $400 could ever match a $1,200 flagship by Apple, Samsung or Google. It's popular in a region full of people living in poverty, yet shills cope and seethe.

>>105579127
>samshit is not android
what in the meth pipe are you smoking vanjir?

>>105579140
hey retard, i own the flagship? and they are all trash. holyshit try harder.

Not even in the country of origin do these mid tier low end phones out sell Apple or Samsung. They are not quality goods and don't last as long. Shills are in here lying and spreading false information. No amount of cope from a region that can barely afford to spend $400 on a phone should change your mind. Only flagships that matter are Apple, Samsung and Google. The ones living in poverty will ignore all the facts just to feel better about their mediocre device.
Don't engage the shills!
These fake tech enthusiasts are posers, they most probably are paid shills notorious from the region these horrible devices are shilled from.
The issue too is brainwashing, 3rd worlders are fed lies and lack the cognitive dissonance to decipher between fact and fiction.

>>105579161
legitimately, what the actual fuck are you on about?

>/spg tech saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarport reminder

Any anon talking about Xiaomi, Poco, Oppo, Realme, LG, Redmi, OnePlus or Motorola is not your friend. Do your own research and it becomes clear what region these mid tier devices with horrible reviews and low benchmarks are popular in. Literally a nation of people suffering in poverty. The evidence will further expose poor shills from a lower consciousness pushing lies and sperging silly out bursts with no intellectual aspects. Don't engage the 70iq shills they are weird and sad and smelly. Only Apple, Samsung or Google devices matter.
Don't let shills trick you. Coping and seething impoverished $400 mid tier owners spread misinformation and are super mad they can't afford better devices.

>remind the mid tier owners they have the oldest Android OS out
>j33ts and they/them start copium maxing out saying not all improvements are a big deal


Noticed no one really ever talks about Android 16 and it's because of the doo doo phones you all own. The Android 16 os is super legit too. Sucks you guys cant use it on your lower end phones. Cost of wanting to save a few rupees

Still no Android 16 on your "flagship" device? Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Android 16 status mid tier shills?
funniest thing is how these shills and poorfags have to flash roms for a better experience on mid tier trash and use the google camera app cause its better than the trash their phone comes with

>>105579169
lmfao keep raging faggot, at this point you have no argument, the facts are there. but go ahead CONSOOOM YOU MUST CONSOOM 1000 NO 2000 NO 3000 FOR FLAGSHIP
SAAAR THINK OF THE BOOBA SAAAR

>vid rel are the people living in extreme poverty shilling for trash devices that come in here and spread misinformation.

Imagine trusting the words of someone from a nation with the worlds biggest slum and people literally living in the nastiest impoverished conditions in the world.

I am NOT buying anything without a headphone jack. I love my Unihertz Tank 3 Pro.

Apple X Samsung collab foldable iPhone

In July it'll be 1 year since I purchased Galaxy M15. It's been really solid for me coming from Motorola garbage. It received an update to One UI 7 but I'm afraid it might slow down or something. Anyone else tried it on their low end phones?

so this thread finally got it's real resident schizo.
made 20 filters and it's still not enough, I'm gonna dip, call me back if he ever takes meds.

>>105579529
>Motorola garbage
I had the Edge S and it was awesome after flashing to LineageOS.

>>105579547
In my instance Motorola constantly lost wifi info and I had to manually reconnect to it, it couldn't automatically change it. After 9 months the battery swelled up.

Generally what are the best phones in term of thermal performance? I hate feeling my phone warm in my hands

tempted to fold and just get a pixel 9a as quadlock has a case for it

I never post or even lurk here, but can any non third world anons give thoughts on qwerty phones like the Unihertz Titan 2 or Minimal Phone? The e paper screen on the Minimal looks pretty bad so I might get the Titan 2. I'm sick of glass rectangle phones and want something different

Both are gimmicks, but the Titan 2 looks well executed at least.

I saw an article saying Nothing was finally reaching the states but would only work with T-mobile and AT&T. Are any of the new phones worth getting over say a Samsung or Pixel?

>>105581716
yep, probably best to stop using it until google rolls out a battery replacement program (like they did for 4a/7a)

why is my phone getting so hot and draining battery?
I made sure to close all the background apps, turned off Bluetooth, wifi, gps.

idk what it's doing. I even turned on power saving and it's still warm like I just took it out of a fat guy's ass. never used to happen until yesterday. oneplus 8t

Look at the battery usage statistics for hardware and software, there should be a clue in those. Or it could be an old battery with high internal resistance and one too many dendrites causing a short

Which one to choose? Budget €350 and I currently have the POCO X5 PRO 5G

I prioritize camera and connectivity AND I don't look for bloatware crap

Only the watch 8 classic looks ok. The other watches look shit

iWatch Ultra 2 is better.

>>105582317

unless you really want/need expandable storage then go with cmf 2

>>105578851 (OP)
Why does everyone assume that not wanting to blow $1K+ on a depreciating asset means you're poor?
In my experience, poor people are just as likely to buy luxury phones or cars as rich people, if not more so. It doesn't mean you have more or less money, just different priorities.
I use $300 headphones, but many people would be happy with something for $50-60 (heck, some even use $20 walmart earbuds and are content). I prefer a $400 phone because it's good enough for what I use it for, and I would prefer to use the money elsewhere.
If my phone was my main computer, then spending $1k might make sense, if I only use it for calls and texts, a $100 motorola might make more sense.

>>105579543

>>105582603
>Have you considered a Pixel? I got an 8A last year and have been pretty happy with it.

Honestly yes, but with my budget I can only afford models from 3-4 years ago

>>105582621
You always could go for a 9A if you wanted something brand new, or buy a used/refurbished 8A or 8 Pro. If the 9A is too far over budget, it might drop in price in a few months.

>>105582667

But is the camera really better than the alternatives I've suggested? Or is it just another AI crap?

>>105582599

I'll assume you meant the motorola

regular edge 60 is a closer match to cmf 2, do a comparison on gsmarena and decide for yourself

I had considered CMF2 for case customization but I know that the UI of the stock ROM is heavily themed

>>105582738
>case customization
bit of a meme if you ask me, not really worth it
Looking at those two phones now the only thing the cmf has going for it is the price and slightly better battery life, if they're priced similarly where you are moto is the better choice

>>105582849
idk maybe it's too close to call when it comes to battery, I looked at the active score on gsmarena and it was better by about 1hr on the cmf

Nothingphone 2a for 210€ yes or no?

Any other recommendations for that price point?
No Xiaomi, Poco whatever the fuck kind of shit

>>105582877
gsmarena is super sus, use versus they don't take money from brands.

>>105579857
I had one and sent back next day its really shit desu. They havent refunded me and ignored me for months most suspect its a scam company selling cheap unstable phones. Last thread there was another anon who mentioned this too said their business was being fined/investigated or something. Looked more into it they are actually violating GPL and have bad reviews in terms of phone quality (keys fall off). Your best to avoid chinese made phones from outside retailers they never exist in the real market for a reason. Likely not even 5G supported either or FCC approved.

>>105584818
ok the f6 can be found cheaper on ali but if you want to buy locally the price difference might not be that noticeable

?? what are you trying to prove here

>>105584936
>?? what are you trying to prove here
Why are you evening looking for alternatives if you're getting this defensive at people trying to help you? You've already made up your mind. Go buy your piece of overpriced prestigious plastic that you think looks cool, moron.

>>105584957
jesus fucking christ, I'm not even buying a phone right now, and you're the one getting defensive

all I'm trying to argue/prove here is there is a place for phones like nothing on the market right now because they stand out in some way, because people want something different (even if it's something as stupid as some LED lights on the back panel) and at the end of the day that slightly different approach is what sells - that's the "appleification" of the android market and it clearly works, at least to some extent

>>105584936
there's seldom reason to buy Chinese stuff locally when you can buy with less middle men and closer to the manufacturer.
local Xiaomi is only worth it with stacked discounts.
I think when I bought the 512 one for 290 it was like 450€ in German mi store.

so what does nothing actually have over the Poco? cause I looked at the camera tests I think and Poco beats it there too.
as for outer shell look just get a case from same AliExpress with whatever stuff you want on it or various designs from leather to metal or whatever. or what I did is just order a custom print and uploaded a pic. it was 2 euro. cheaper than most even simple cases in local stores.

basing your choices on opinions of normalfags that don't care about tech seems pretty dumb

>>105585115
>basing your choices on opinions of normalfags that don't care about tech seems pretty dumb
should've made it clear that I'm not this poster >>105583009 (thought it was obvious I guess)

on paper, spec-wise, that nothing has 'nothing' over that poco, but even at this early stage nothing as a brand has more prestige and recognizability than poco in the mind of a casual consumer, and that can go a long way

that was my only point here really: this particular model compared to that poco is worse when you look at bang for your buck, but it's not that important in the grand scheme of things

Sirs, shills, tr00ns are mad the Samsung keeps besting their poorfag phones.

>>105585210
didn't think you were, you just said most people won't notice things and you're right. but no reason to base any choice on that kind of thing.

basically I think the argument boils down to marketing and company image.
which again are really nothing to care about.

>I need an external storage
Why

>>105578354
Oh really? This is an Atom XL too, got it just a few days ago with the intention of putting Lineage (or /e/os or some shit) on it. Was it an unwarranted bug? Or did you mess about with the firmware? Or is it more likely a hardware defect? I'm going through the warranty process too, hopefully they accept it even though I might have caused it by flashing the stock ROMs.

Did you experiment with ROM flashing at all?

>>105582345
Gear sport chads we won!

should i turn on a 90% charging limit ?

>>105589719
80% ideally. I use 85% because the battery health of my phone has dropped to 95% over a year and a half and I need the extra juice.
If you don't care about keeping your phone for more than 2 years, or about a potential resale value after 2 years, then just charge it to full every day. You won't notice any real degradation for the first 2 years before it drops to 80% health or so, but then you're getting a new phone anyways.
If you DON'T want a new phone every 2 years then charge only between 20 to 80, maybe 15 to 85 after the phone gets older and loses some capacity.

>>105589731
it's a pretty cheap 5000 mAh phone, I end the day with around 40%
I'll try a limit of 80%, thank you

Is paying 120 more for Poco F7 Pro (400) worth it over X7 Pro (280) ?

>>105589815
where are you getting F7 Pro for under 500?
>inb4 aliexpress

>>105589695
>>105579614
Hello again fellow atomxl anon.

I'm guessing you followed adeadtrowsers instructions to downgrade the ROM and never actually got to flash lineageOS? I had the same problem as one other person in the xda thread, I sent the guy an email and we were never able to figure it out.
Unihertz did replace the phone under warrenty after a few emails and lots of broken English.
I'm mustering up the courage to try again soon, I'm guessing you had only half the touch screen working after flashing the older stock rom with the new MediaTek tool right?

>I'm guessing you followed adeadtrowsers instructions to downgrade the ROM and never actually got to flash lineageOS?
Yeah.
>I'm guessing you had only half the touch screen working after flashing the older stock rom with the new MediaTek tool right?
If by MediaTek tool you mean SPflashtool, yes.
I emailed Mr Trousers and he told me to try flashing it anyway before sending it back, apparently SPflashtool will reliably put the stock ROM back on there even if they get stuck boot-looping, and there's apparently a faint chance that LOS will fix the touch screen issue. He said a couple others have contacted him about the bug too.

Though now I'm getting an Error 1: Failed to mount "/system_root" (no such file or directory) when I try to load the zip, so I'll probably wipe it and start from scratch tomorrow again. Or maybe I'll try the Error 7 troubleshooting tip of copying across the extracted super-YYYY-MM-XXX.7z file, wherever I'm supposed to find that.

Unihertz have offered me a swap, though I'll have to send the phone back, then wait for them to receive it before sending a fresh one out.

>>105590192
If you can figure out something that doesn't end up with a broken touch screen and share it here I'd be eternally grateful.
Since your atom is going to be replaced If I were you, I would just keep trying stuff until you figure out if it works.

For me I was worried that I'd get it stuck with the bootloader unlocked if I went any further and that they would deny warranty, Godspeed and good luck Anon.

>Reduced battery edition
I'm on a 6a and kind of pissed about this whole battery situation since I wanted to try and keep my phone for at least another year.
What's the best play here? I saw a comment on reddit that I should take the store credit they'll offer me, and then keep the phone and trade it in next time they're running promotions and apply my store credit to get my next phone for very cheap.
Is it actually possible to combine these offers though?

there are plenty of adblockers on ios, the two main ones are AdGuard and 1Blocker. 1Blocker is nowadays the better of the two and works on youtube.com (the website not the app)

>>105590450
That's just DNS blocking and it doesn't really work

>>105590236
I’m 99% confident the touchscreen issue won’t be fixed by flashing LOS onto it, but I’m like 60% confident that it can be solved with enough monkeying around in the firmware. Someone far more knowledgeable than me about the inner workings of Android chipsets could probably figure out where the data travels from touch screen to OS, and follow the information to find where the problem is.

>>105590527
lmao ok well I've used it and it does

>>105590539
It objectively cannot work on the youtube website you stupid troglodyte.

>>105590540
I do not see ads on youtube.com using either one
1blocker works instantly whereas AdGuard has a delay
don't talk about things you don't use you fucking troglodyte

I got a Pixel 9a on sale, and after a couple of days with it my verdict it: saar please do NOT redeem. The speakers on this thing are literally unusable to the point they might as well not included them. I'm strongly considering returning this and getting an A36, a moto edge, or even a nothing phone at this point. I have at&t so my phone selection is kind of trash.

>>105590405

Not a fag, but 200 bucks is 200 bucks (FE turned out to be 450 for the 256GB version)

>>105591499
dont redeem fag edition sir and do the needful with the more powerful handheld. much more curry processing poower

does anyone here have experience importing an american phone into europe? does it break important features due to different standards?
i looked around a bit and the moto g stylus looks like the perfect all rounder for me (good camera, headphone jack, sd slot, waterproof, stylus looks like a fun gimmick, decent specs) but it has no eu release
im hesitant to import it because i dont know how compatible it would be with eu networks and power sources, but i also can't find any good local alternative that packs similar features at the same price range
should i just give up on the jack and get the cheaper edge 50 neo / edge 60 fusion / wait for 60 neo instead, or would importing the g stylus be worthwhile? my max budget is 500
i also considered poco because they look good overall but i dont want a shitty camera again
any help would be much appreciated

Hello /g/entleman! I've been using a phone with a retractable camera for the past 5+ years. I want to try foldable phones they seem super fun to use, but I'm afraid of the screen creases. Should I go with the new Razr or wait for the Flip7 release?
Thanks!

>>105589639
Bcs i have many hobbies/porn webms so the pics/vids/downloads always take up significant storage that slows the phone down. Also am paranoid that my phone will break b4 i can transfer data or that the amount of data will fuck up my phone. Prefer external storage to remove it/have back ups/dont worry about the gb that are being used. Has worked so far plus i can always download a stupid amount of music for offline bcs fuck spotify and youtube. Also any phone with great camera quality and best screen size to thickness ratio would be cool. Miss when phones used to be thin and wide.

They're super fragile, I'm pretty sure mine started peeling because I was using it in a gym without AC at 40 degrees Celsius. I heard the same thing from a lot of other people.

>>105592478
that's unfortunate. though I don't have a problem with Poco launcher, launcher ricing is something I done a decade ago, don't care now and just have a bunch of icons.

I don't agree with the ram statement. only issue I ever had is Firefox unloading tabs, but it doesn't happen (as much? I haven't noticed) with vivaldi or cromite I think.
same with the battery. post-config and debloat I'm sitting comfortably at 7-10% per hour drain and I limit my charging to 80% on my F6 (5000mah battery). I had couple long days where I came back home with 20% but otherwise it's been fine.
though idle drain is a lot bigger than I'd like but that happened after android 15 update and not due to anything hyoeros, so I'm willing to blame android for that.
