Shills are lying in the thread now and trying to trick anons with smartphone comparisons using new phones vs older models and comparing their "flagships" to a mid tier. They do this, because that's the only way they can feel better about a cheapo tech device and the only way the garbage phones they are shilling can win the comparisons. These poors really will do anything to scam and lie to us. Don't trust anyone shilling phones with false information.
This is a market strategy the paid shills are using. All Poco posts are not natural, I can confirm this now.

2 questions:
First, for those of you who have a secondary phone, what do you use it for? I’m thinking about getting a second, Android phone (I have an iPhone), but I’m still struggling to find a real use case for the purchase.
And second, looking at the list of (currently) supported devices on the LineageOS website, the Mi 11 Lite looks like the best deal just based off the specs and age. Should I get that or do you guys think/know something better. It can’t be a pixel because google doesn’t sell them in my cuntry

>>105682462
>Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Won AGAIN

>>105682475
Before I had the OnePlus 12, I bring both the Pixel 7a and my Stylus 5G everywhere I go. The Stylus would be the main phone where I put all of my music and stuff and it would be my primary entertainment device. But the Pixel 7a would be the phone I use to call and take pictures and use it for work (work WhatsApp and whatnot). I don't put them all on one device because I don't want all of that shit causing reloadings all over the place. Both phones only have 8GB of RAM, and Stylus has dogshit cameras, so they both had their place in my life.

Stylus also had monster battery life. I'd use it across a 12 hour shift and get home with 56% battery and 4 hours of screen on time. The Pixel would have been dead before lunchbreak if not for literally using battery bypass to keep it attached to a 10k mah power bank all day.

>SPG Tech Saarport Reminder

Notice all the lying scamming jeet shills itt. In there, smartphone comparisons they're comparing older and lower tier phones to their newer jeet poor "flagship" models. LOL, LMAO EVEN!

Don't let these shills post false information. Keep posting the truth about smartphones exposing these liars from the leading nation of scammers and paid shills.

Benchmarks and reviews from reputable websites will be posted in SPG.
This is our only defense we have against people that come in to this thread and lie. It's nothing personal against anybody's favorite device. It's just the simple facts. Nobody is out to get you, but when you're openly coming into this thread and lying and then getting upset when you get called out for it that's just ridiculous.

>>105682551

It's actually really interesting being the only person that is openly posting screenshots from two reputable websites consistently that is being targeted by multiple people that are posting false information. I wonder why? Shills are strange. This is smartphone general and I'm literally posting about phones. Imagine posting lies itt and expecting us to never check Versus or NanoReview. Never blindly trust these shills.

>4. backup phone

>It can’t be a pixel because google doesn’t sell them in my cuntry
Same here, but you can literally just order a refurbished Pixel like I did.
>LineageOS
Do you have any reason to use a custom ROM? I would understand GrapheneOS since it's literally the most secure mobile OS. But LineageOS doesn't really offer much over stock Android (or Graphene if you buy a Pixel).

>>105680843

>>105682646
>Do you have any reason to use a custom ROM?
It’s just a familiarity thing, I had it on my s10 before I jumped the fence to iOS.
>buy them refurbished
Even then I would have to pay the 92% import tax. It’s legitimately cheaper to fly to the US and buy a phone than to import one here. Also, to you and >>105682504, having some separation between my work and personal devices was the first thing that got me thinking about buying a second phone but don’t you get confused having to manage things between devices?

>>105682721
No? My Pixel 7a has very few apps on it. It's just camera app, Google Maps, Chrome, Brave, and WhatsApp. It has a few defined jobs that it does very well, like taking high quality pictures in all lighting scenarios. Most of everything else is on my Stylus, and I mostly just use my Stylus with the Pixel on hotspot mode.

>92% import tax
what the fuck country has a 92% import tax? That's diabolical.
>don’t you get confused having to manage things between devices?
No, because it's all completely separate/unrelated use cases. Anything that's not my main communications phone is just in my drawer next to my PC. When I need the other devices I just open the drawer and use them.

how do seppos deal with samsung jewgle and ios as their only options?

>post benchmarks and reviews
>expose all lying shills and trolls for misinformation
>call them out for pushing cheap stuff only poors from impoverished nations would call the "best"
>the jeets, shills, poors and they/them crew start sperging

Anyone who says Versus or NanoReview is wrong is the problem. These lying shills are just trying to feel better about their poor budget friendly mid tier device and refuse to accept the facts.
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. Benchmarks and reviews will keep getting posted.

Spg doesn't like the facts and truth being posted about smartphones. lol, lmao even. You posers only got one new handset. Stop it. Can't wait to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Pixel 10 Pro XL. I upgrade every year with cash in hand. It's not a problem for me. I'm blessed and I like smartphones.

so, get a few friends/family members that need a new phone and one of you make the trip and split the costs

Reminder to keep your phone screens clean and especially make sure your screen protector is applied properly and is clean too. It lowers the quality of what you're seeing if the screen protector has pubes and air bubbles under it. You don't wanna be embarrassed like this guy:

The biggest country that has this kinda of tax is Huezil, here you pay a 60% import tax, if you buy directly from a foreign seller + 30% interstate transport tax.

>>105683964

My revvl 5g has decided to stop sending and receiving texts so I'm looking around for a new one. Trying to find one on swappa that has an sd card slot and headphone jack for a fair price has proven to be agonizing. I hate smartphones so goddamn much.

>>105684022
a factory reset will probably fix it

>>105684041
Not a bad idea, but if I'm going to go through the trouble of reinstalling everything I may as well do it on a slightly newer, slightly less shitty device.

>>105684022
What's your budget? Since you're probably a burger, the Moto G Power 2024 and Stylus 2024 have radically depreciated in price, and the Stylus has the same specs as the Revvl

>>105684077
I'm hoping to not spend more than $150. I hate the revvl, I'm only using it because my previous phone bit the dust. (a32 5g, which I also hated but not nearly as much.) The power 2024 looks pretty good....

>>105683275

You can find the Power on Ebay (unlocked) for below $150. It is a good phone.

What's a good replacement for an S23U?
I've broken my screen for the 3rd time and I think it might be time to get something new.

Things I'm looking for:
>Android
>Flat screen (curved breaks too easily)
>Cameras at least as good as I have, including a good telephoto
>Less processing on photos
>Decent processing power
>Good battery life
>512gb+
>Preferably smaller and lighter
>Band 71(and other T-Mobile US bands)
>As cheap as possible (under $500 if possible)

Things I don't need or care about:
>S-pen
>AIslop
>Phone being brand new, used is fine

>>105682374 (OP)
I've had my Galaxy A25 for about a week now, coming from a Galaxy M30 that I used for 6 years, and man... the jumps from 4GB of RAM to 8GB of RAM, having 256GB of storage instead of 64GB, while also having the micro SD slot if I need more, the classic headphone jack, 120Hz refresh rate... for the price? It's a steal, also loving One UI 7.0 so far. Any downsides? Well, nothing major, I find the waterdrop notch and thick bezels with the chin on the bottom to look dated, but that's just a purely aesthetic nitpick I'll admit, one more thing is that the proccessor isn't too good, Exynos in general isn't great from what I hear, but it works well really.

It's a shame that after this one, the only Samsung lineup with a headphone jack and micro SD slot might be the Galaxy A0 series.

>>105682475
I have a Xiaomi Poco F3 which has LineageOS installed to remove the Xiaomi bloatware, which I strictly use for outside. No social media, no banking apps, no logged accounts, or any personal data or information that ties that phone to me. I use a PAYG SIM card loaded for text, calls, and emergencies like looking up directions on Google Maps. Why? I realised that I don't need to stay connected to the internet 24/7, and the places I need to be at such as my home and the gym etc. have WiFi, so I don't need to pay extra. In the case where my phone gets stolen or lost, I don't care as much as it's a cheap second hand phone with nothing important in it. Also, I realised that a LOT of people effectively digitalised their life on a phone - having their bank accounts connected, all their personal information, photos and videos etc. on a single tiny device that, if lost or stolen, can cause serious pain to their world.

Maybe I am just paranoid.

>>105685224
I also use incognito mode to not have a browser history and only use a six digit PIN to access the phone. No fingerprints or facial recognition.

The only phones that matter.

>>105665310

Very interesting how when anon brought up the 2FA topic in regards with the massive leak of passwords, shills started making fun of it and using excuses to not be safe. No on said for example use a password management tool etc. Hmmmm....

Esim was made to be used with 2FA and lock your phones so you're safe. How this was made fun of was strange. Scamming jeets can't redeem the gift card as long as you do the needful and stay smart and safe with your smartphones passwords.

This is the best phone and probably the best computer I’ve ever used (iPhone 15 Pro Max).

After using it for 6 months the only problem was that I wanted a bigger screen for watching videos. I own a desktop for personal/work use and have a work laptop for general tasks.

I decided to get an iPad Pro 11” but it feels too close to the iPhone. The overlapping usage cases get a little frustrating…but buying a windows laptop or MacBook feels inconvenient.

Suggestions? What would fit in my current layout of the iPhone, Desktop, and work laptop?

Who's got the best camera for the price without breaking 500ish USD?

>>105683899
Reall don't mind the brands, so just give me

I need to update my phone from an iPhone 12 mini and I want to get out of the Apple ecosystem, but I don't have any experience with non iOS phones.
I mainly just use my phone for reading news articles and music, I'm mainly looking for a smaller, midrange "it just works" model that feels nice and will last as long as possible.
Seems Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models are best for what I'm looking for, maybe there are some Chinese models that offer better specs but I don't know is it's annoying to fuck around with chinkOS? I don't really know how much those models and their form of Android variant software differ from stock Android though.
I can get the Samsung Galaxy S24 for $700 (AUD, which is $450 USD) and the Google Pixel 8a for about the same price, which sounds better for what I'd want?
Seems the Samsung Galaxy S24 is better performance wise, but I have no interest in playing games and I don't know if that performance is really going to translate to better news browsing and other low demand tasks. I'm worried it is going to be bogged down in unnecessary bloat and bullshit, but then Google might have the exact same issue?
Would appreciate some insight into this, I just want to make a decent investment in something that is easy and intuitive for the next five years or so.

Fresh out the box iPhone 16 Pro made in india damaged. Many unfortunate cases.
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. You should avoid all phones from places like this and shills who say otherwise.

hey all, need a used phone suggestion.

i currently have a Pixel 5 that's battery is starting to bloat. I got a Pixel 6 as a replacement, but it began dropping calls randomly and the one day just decided to never turn on again. I'm tired of Google's shit.

I basically want to spend the minimum about possible because i'm fucking tired of dropping $300-400 every few years for a device that i only ever use to google shit and send texts. >$100 ideally. don't care about scratches. i just care about decent enough performance that it doesn't fucking lag while going through the Settings menu, and decent enough battery that it lasts from morning to night. I guess also ideally has decent custom ROM support

Hell that 36C air temp is probably measured in the shade, so it might be over 40 in the car right now.

Never had it overheat at all. My pixel used to be hot enough to cook eggs on!

Smart phones suck in the sun.

>The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is definitely a powerful chip, but it also puts out a lot of heat. It thermal-throttles aggressively and loses a large chunk of its maximum performance over time.

Hey anons, I'm looking to buy a new phone. My most recent phones have been Samsung S20FE (current) and before that a Huawei P20 pro. I'm not looking for anything specific (though I do want it to be a rather new phone that will last me some) or have any specific price in mind, but I want it to be as little jewish/israelish as possible. Preferably without making it full-on CCP, I didn't really like the huawei and friend had a xiaomi at a similar time, didn't like it either (maybe newer ones are better though?). What brands or models should I look into?

>>105690323
What do you use your phone for?

Can any Motorolafag here tell me if the Stylus model touch screen is worse or less sensitive compared to non-Stylus?

>>105690357
Calling (when I have to, which I hate), messaging, bank stuff, emails, making photos and videos (I'm horrible at it), sometimes I play games like crosswords when I'm out of home and need to kill time. Also to play music via bluetooth on my D&D sessions. Sometimes I watch porn on it when I'm in the shower. I use some other apps too, like one for learning Spanish.

oh well... guess ill go for f7 pro on sale

>>105690419
Literally anything with over 2GB of ram will do you fine.
Don't stress about it.

>>105690448
Sure, I don't need anything high-end, but I want it to be as jew-proof as possible. They probably don't have a reason to explode my phone, but I want that possibility gone.

>>105688187
do you often answer with a question?

>>105690463
>Jew Proof
I don't know what this means sorry. Want to be specific?

Stop buying cheap phones

>>105690481
Why?

>>105690474
I don't want israel to have any kind of backdoors, keyloggers, data siphons or anything to do with in general my phone.

>>105690525
Why would they have that you fucking schizo?

>>105690481
define cheap

>>105689908
same, phone is basically running the same temp as outside

>>105690572
cause they literally do and use that?
been under any rocks lately?

>>105690525
that means you can't use google pixels since usa has tight ties with israeli govt
chinese phones for western market have google apps so you still have mutt mandatory spying
that leaves you with motorola which lets you lock bootloader on some roms like helluvaos or maybe calyxos in the future (rip divestos)
you could technically use an unlocked bootloader phone with no google apps as long as you are sure nobody is there to perform an evil maid attack and sideload some malware in recovery

>>105690733
I guess I have.
Post some proof, or nobody will belive you. thanks.

Is it good?

>>105690863
Looks really ugly

>>105690481
Anything over 250 euro is good enough for 99% of people.

>800nits+ brightness
>6GB+ RAM

I'm talking strictly about the backplate and camera bump design. The basic F7 is the ugliest by far.

>>105691005
that's the limited silver edition, other variants only have the green camera bump

>>105691041
are you being for serious right now

>>105691046
it's not though?
ultra is 500€

>>105691046
cheapest pocos are around 100 bucks or less, these are their "flagship killers" aka. phones that cost 500-600 bucks and try to mimic the "premiumness" and specs of phones 1.5x-2x their price

>>105688998
Google seems like the only option anon. I filtered for 6.1, Google seems to do updates right. So, 8, 8pro, 8a, 9a, or 9.

I'd like to buy something with glass/metal back because microplastics.

Guys. What's the easiest way to get root access to a Samsung a56? Im too lazy to boot up my pc and install shit. I got want to easily mod apks

My iShitter 13 Pro has iFucked the bed. Is there any reason to get a 16 over a 15? Not sure if a Pro is worth it anymore to me.

>>105692281

Buy some cheap Android for now and wait until the 17 base model gets released. Reports consistently are saying that all the new base models will come with ProMotion.

If you don't want to wait - the 15 is already getting thrown in the shitter by Apple because of its 6gb of ram. This shows in iOS 26, where it won't be receiving adaptive battery, for example.

I need a war-proof phone, something that must be able to take falls and hits and still work, also the screen must be able to resist scratches made by sand in my pants.
Budget: unlimited
Specs: at least 6gb of ram

>Pooco

Imagine shilling such a low quality mid tier device. Look at the coping and seething itt by the scammers. LOL, LMAO EVEN!

>>105692336
I had no idea that's what they called the high refresh rate. Is there any reason to get a Pro over a base at that point if that becomes standard?

I would get a cheap hold me over, but I am stuck on iPhone shit because of needing an iPad for flying, and having an iPhone gives me necessary redundancy.

>Pros will allegedly be getting a smaller notch either this year or the next
>More Ram
>Steets are now saying the base models will have 120hz but without the adaptive refresh unlike the Pros

besides that, i don't really know, there will probably be something else in the future to entice users

Can you get wireless earphones that can have a wire plugged in so they're wired too?

I'm sure you can, but really what I'm asking is, have you got any recs?

>>105693376
Oops wrong thread, my bad lol

>the jews will explode my phone and kill me!!

Any of you guys using phones from 2018?
I'm poor as fuck and I figure these cheap mother fuckers are probably still usable.

I don't play games or browse the internet on my phone. At most it'll play a youtube video in an emergency.

>>105693430
I have an XZ1 Compact that still "works" and would be somewhat usable if the earpiece speaker wasn't busted. Pretty slow and stuck on Android 9, though. Wouldn't recommend.

>>105693443
Slow at doing what? Texing? Emailing?

>>105693481
Yeah. Opening up Messenger or Discord to text someone is sluggish, the apps take a bit to load. Keyboard lags a bit when it pops up when I tap a text field. Loading web pages is slower than on my main phone Galaxy S23. Just general usage of the UI is not nearly as smooth as a modern phone.
Keep in mind this is a somewhat powerful semi-flagship phone from late 2017, so it's actually got a more powerful chip than budget/midrangers up to 2019-2020 or so.

>>105693430
i'm still on my note10+ non-5g
the screen has a crack in it that is slowly getting bigger and the usb port is getting wonky. i would ride this beeyotch till 2030 if not for those 2 issues. probly gonna swap it for something newer this or next yr but todays phones are both doghsit and expensive as fuck wtf mane

>>105693502
I don't use messanger or discord. Keyboard lagging is a big issue tho.
Also I just saw this on Amazon when looking up the phone. What the fuck is this feature for??

>>105693522
>What the fuck is this feature for??
Augmented Reality (AR) gimmicks were all the rage in the late 2010s before AI slop became the next big thing.

I bought a Xiaomi Note 5 Pro at the recommendation of people in this thread in 2018 and I was still using it in late 2024. Might be funny to some being such a poverty phone, but it's honestly the best phone I ever owned. I was a mid-range Samsung user up until then.

I got a pixel 8 from work now which works superbly and I'm looking to get a new personal phone that isn't a piece of shit. I returned a cheap ass moto I got from amazon recently so I'm still lookin...

>>105693706
I asked you a question and you couldn't answer it.
What do you think I am "projecting"? Be specific.

>>105688955
Why do you need a banking app on your phone? I don't.

>Apple and Samsung Won

Let the market decide what the most popular brands and best devices are. No way is the entire population of the world stupid. Just face the facts. Simple as.

>>105694356
You're projecting insecurity onto me, a lack of answering your foolish question is not indicative of my own folly, but rather a pointing-out to your silliness to ask such a redundant question.
Why wouldn't I like Apple?

>Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Supremacy

Pixel 10 Pro Leak from Jeetlandia

Punch Hole bros?

>>105694427
I can imagine a small portion of iTards saying "wtf this punch hole shit is so ass my iPhone just looks like a cheap Android now..."

I'm starting to think I should cancel my phone plan and just run it off of wi-fi with something like Google Voice. Would still get to make calls, send messages, etc. just can only do it on Wi-Fi, which isn't really a problem.

Why do you need Band 71? I used a Poco X6 Pro on Mint Mobile (which uses T-Mobile towers) which doesn't have Band 71, but which has Band 41, and it worked more than fine connectivity wise. The Poco had 12GB of RAM and 512gb storage for $288 on Ebay. If it absolutely needs Band 71, good luck finding something like what you're looking for for less than $500.

>>105687961
Samsung Galaxy A56?

2 months until snapdragon 8 elite 2

What bloat is actually worth removing? Samsung, so a lot, but I use a few of these things like dex.

Any good tablets under $300?

>>105692234
I think I got the port replaced in an s20 for between $100-$200 years ago. If you have no intention in spending a bunch of money to buy the latest, you may as well drop it off for a repair.

>>105691046
based Pooco is really bad

so i do 3d printing and could use the iphones pro lidar to 3d scan. But i also have a ferret 3d scanner but its shit. I also kind if want a rooted pixel. What do?

what do you guys think of realme?

>>105686665
>>105692234
charging port is like $10. They're easy to replace if you aren't tech retarded; especially if the back is already coming off.

If you want to fix it, back it up and fix it.
If you want a new phone, buy a new phone.

have to say I tried iOS for a week on a free iphone 14 and while I now understand why its popular with normies the amount of random shit I couldn't do in apple's walled garden was infuriating
s25+ is pretty dope tho

>>105696168
iphone lidar is not accurate enough to be much use for 3D printing scans in my experience.

>>105696111
It is indeed incredibly fast and smooth

>>105696179
i read youre supposed to spray metalic objects to use 3d scanners. The tech is garbage.

Poco F5 finally started conking out after 2 years, surprised it even lasted that long given more than heavy usage up until today.
thinking of getting last year's S24 Ultra heard good reviews, or should i go 1 more year back?

Do you anons still use a screen protector for your phones? Using one for my phone feels like a downgrade.

>>105697667
S24U is a better deal due to the 7 years (6 left) of software support. S23U only got 4 years (2 left) in comparison.

>>105697862
Never have, and never had an issue.

>>105697862
I didnt use to, but then my phones got heavy microscratches that were visible under lamps or the sun, so I started using them. Now I can just swap out the protector for a new one if the microscratches get really annoying.

What do I buy
Poco F7 Ultra - 600 €
S25 Ultra - 900 €

The screen on the S25U with the anti glare coating looks so good. But I also never gave more than 300€ on a phone until now so 900 seems crazy

>>105698026
The 300 bucks you're saving by buying the Poco, Xiaomi will earn out of you with system ads.

>>105695447
And you have not proven that your device can do that yet. Why not? I thought you could prove it.

>>105695648

>>105698121
Prove your claim to be true.
Why do you think any and all phones are cabable of this?

Redmagic 10 pro seems like a really good deal and overall device, but I'm still half convinced I should wait 2-3 more years before buying into the highest end device when the 8 elite can only just barely manage 30fps in breath of the wild.

>>105698265
>just wait tm

>>105698224
>No thoughts
>Just repeats marketing terms
Cattle love Apple.

>>105698304
I just don't see the point in upgrading from current phone if it doesn't net me an additional usecase. My current phone can already play ps2 games no problem so the only next step is ps3/switch. Which the 8 elite is just simply not good enough for yet.

>>105698227
I imagine after I bought all the tools to tear apart and put back together my phone I'd be lookin at a similar bill. Granted, I could do it again for merely the cost of the parts in the future.

>>105693831
What the fuck?
I was actually thinking getting the Pooco F7 for cheap gaming but that looks awful.
I hate that there is really no cheap phone that can output stable FPS for at least a hour without throttling itself to death.

>>105698480
What mobile games do you want to play?
Don't they usually have really low requirements compared to PC?

>>105698474
Nah set of screwdrivers and pry tools is another $5-10 max. Samsungs are really great in that regard because they're modular. If it was some pooxel which still uses long-ass single piece motherboard for some reason I wouldn't be risking repairing it myself even though I kinda know how to hold a solreding iron.

>>105698504
basically no smartphone can hold 60 FPS in Zenless Zone Zero for an extended period of time

>>105698504
Just usual Hoyoslop (Genshin, Star Rail, ZZZ) + some other 3D heavy gachas

>>105698560
Looks stable enough for me.
You could probably drop shits like bloom and shadow to make it smoother.
https://youtu.be/hITVtHD6IZc?si=VI29jWefTC8OqC5m&t=481

>>105698573
Star Rail actually runs really well on any relatively recent flagship chip. My phone with SD 8 Gen 2 handles it flawlessly, while ZZZ is a stuttery mess at sub-15 FPS at times.
>>105698610
I'm running it at the lowest settings and can't hit a stable 30. It just freezes for up to a second at times.
Also gaming phones with physical cooling are cheating. Even the SD 865 can handle ZZZ at 60 FPS with a proper fan and cooling, see the newest Retroid Pocket android "console".

>>105698124
yes.

>>105698623
Doesn't work on my friend's Poco X5 Pro. He gets his Messenger notifications all at once when he opens the app manually. He's done this tweak and many other similar tweaks you can easily find online, nothing works.

>>105699362
mobile games virtually every day (quite a lot of it was while charging too), a lot of screen recording. may or may not be able to continue this behavior on the future given lesser time.

Dropped. Sorry, I'm not a faggot.

>>105698548
Huh, interesting, I thought it was significantly more involved. What about the glue, just use a hairdryer?
Maybe I preemptively get these basics so I can replace a battery or port in the future if necessary.
Final questions: where would you buy these parts, aliexpress? And is it critical to get official samsung parts, or if they say it's compatible with a Samsung it's fine?
