Previous thread: >>105714596

Are linux phones any good if you're not a heavy linux user?
I like the hardware a lot (Pinephone Pro), and I'm likely to not use anything more than calls, texts, and emails.

Am I retarded for wanting an iPhone if my current phone is a Samsung and I'm fed up with slow updates that change basically nothing (wow a new notification shade!) and add no new features? I had to wait MONTHS for OneUI 7 and literally all it changed was the motherfucking notification shade. No fresh UI redesign, no new features, just a new drop down menu and I guess the live activities thingy which is cool I suppose.

>>105735859
Why do you think an iPhone will fix that?

>>105735547 (OP)
Nusmartphones are shit
SHIT

>>105735945
Yeah. That's why I'm looking at pre-AI phones.

>>105735961
This, all these faggy corporations slapping "AI Powered" on their phones as if its a revolutionary feature gives me the ick

>>105735961
>>105736013
Was genuinly a reason I was interested in the pinephone. No AI tech as far as I can tell + killswitches for things you don't use (cameras, bluetooth, mics etc)

>>105735879
Based on the fact the iPhone 6s of all devices is STILL getting security updates in 2025, I assume Apple's updoot policy is better than Samsung's and they will deliver timely content drops for years to come on their latest phones.

>>105736088
Do they usually deliver "content drops" on their older devices?
From what I remember (this was back in 2010 at the latest) Apple used to give you updates, but they usually lacked features and the updates made your phone perform worse and worse and worse until you were strong-armed into an upgrade.

Do they not do that anymore? I've not touched an Apple device since then (except for an Macbook that I use for work).

>>105736138
>lacked features and the updates made your phone perform worse
I hope that's better by now or else literally no smartphone can satisfy my updoot needs while also being a good phone (sorry Pixels)...

>>105736013

Any reason I wouldn't instantly buy picrel if I only use my phone for games (with cute anime girls) and entertainment (watching cute anime girls doing cute things and cute anime girls singing)?
I don't care about bugmen wars, I don't care about pajeet wars, I don't care about amerimutt wars, I want to know about the phone.

>>105737532

Even running the lightest window manager possible your user experience will be constantly waiting/hanging of applications. It will be hot to the touch and die within no time. Compare this to the cheapest used xperia phone on Ebay flashed with PMOS and its all butter. It is so bad that it ruined the reputation of PMOS in the minds of normies as it stands

>>105737826
Where can I find evidence of this? Thanks.

I think I will buy a OnePlus 13

Pixel 9 Pro XL vs Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Pooco F7 Ultra

Total smartphone sales for 2024! Let’s see what 2025 looks like once the year ends. So far similar if you check. I really enjoy my iPhone and Galaxy so I see why they always win. They have budgets and flagships everyone enjoys. :)

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Leak!
Bigger battery, new silicon carbide tech, new camera lenses (finally), smaller bezel and also potentially bringing back the Bluetooth S Pen. However, none of these leaks have mentioned anything about the S26. Snapdragon 8gen4 OC for it plus more ram!

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra & the iPhone 16 Pro Max showing us why they are the global sales leaders.
Higher build quality devices with better service and OS support for a few years!

>>105738130
>>105738141
>>105738204
Is this some sort of shill?

>>105738235
OBVIOUSLY.

>>105738235
Shills don’t post facts pajeet

>>105737607

>>105738235
>saaaaar why you shill? Why you posting the truth about my Pooco? Saaaar?

A modern phone with the XZ1 Compact form factor would sell TRILLIONS

Hey guys got a quick question.
Phone just forced an update for the first time since I got it a year ago, and now it's doing this weird shit with the lock screen where every time it's a different image and article at the bottom. I don't have a lock screen or widgets settings I just can't turn it off.

>>105735547 (OP)
I'd buy this if it ran postmarket os.

>>105735605
>and I'm likely to not use anything more than calls, texts,
That's funny since those are the things that don't work well.
>and emails.
Do you use mutt on Linux normally? If so you'll be fine. No? Imagine leaving Firefox with a heavy web page open all the time, think about the heat and battery drain, now imagine that being 4x worse on a *really* cheap piece of trash from china. That's what webmail on the pinephone is like.

But it's a huge improvement over the Zaurus, especially having built-in radios including LTE instead of just IRDA.

>>105737826
Eh. I ran FVWM and did just fine as long as I didn't have more than one or two tabs open in Firefox but 90% of what I use are xterm apps so ymmv.
>>105737886
>SOURCE???
lol. We used it, we're telling you. Either you can believe us, ask someone else doing *exactly* the same thing (using it and telling you) or you can buy one and try it yourself. The thing has very little processor cache so if you're a GTK fag it will constantly be hitting the (insanely slow) bus. Basically if you're working set doesn't fit in the processor cache the whole thing constantly waits on the bus which makes it way slower than the specs suggest. It's surprisingly bad hardware but the nice thing is there are drivers for everything.

Also the screens use water soluble glue so you *must* replace them every couple years. It's incredibly low quality.

>>105738235
He sounds to me like the kind of retard that would do it for free.

>>105738420
op has a debloater, go google your phone manufacturer + lockscreen ads and then uninstall the app with it

is it worth it?

>>105738661
depends on the price, for 150 euro it is

>>105738617
Indeed!

>>105738420
lmao they're putting ads on lockscreens now. It's crazy what smartphone users put up with.
>>105738642
LMAO and now you guys are even doing the Windows 10 "debloater" thing.

Still safe to buy ipad mini 6 in the year of our lord 2021+4? I can ignore the jelly screen and whatever new ai slop it won't get.

>>105738758

You can get something like a refurbished thinkpad 11e for $70 put Linux with a small WM on it, and do way more with better battery life.

Everything that doesn't run postmarketOS is worthless E Waste at best.

>post benchmarks and reviews from Versus and NanoReview
>expose all lying shills and trolls for misinformation
>call them out for pushing stuff only scammers would call the "best"


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 scammers trick people into thinking a horrible branded device for $400 could ever match a $1,200 flagship by Apple, Samsung or Google. Don’t give the people (YOU)s they are looking to get you banned. Benchmarks and reviews will keep getting posted.

Changed the battery on my M1 Air. Extremely long life is back, 12+ hours is nothing again. These things have been out for several years by now, batteries don't last forever (and changing it was much easier than the last MacBook battery I did, a 15 Pro from 2015 or something)

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.

>>105738868
Ah yes. Everyone knows devs like Martijn Braam are Indian and Postmarket OS is full of Indians like Android and iOS are rather than the typical GNU/Linux types.

How? Does it have active cooling or does it just wait for the battery to explode?

>i dont promise btw* ;)

OnePlus won!!!

>>105739232
>How? Does it have active cooling or does it just wait for the battery to explode?
A mix of both. It gets really really hot when I put It on high performance mode, turn on frame gen + upscaling while playing ZZZ
But desu that's an overkill. It can run the game perfectly even on power saving mode

Why is my iPhone from India so bad? Can anyone help me get the better Chinese one? Why can’t India stop messing things up for everyone? :(

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.

>>105739386

>Be Apple
>Open production in Jeetlandia

Great news Apple allows you to refuse indian made Apple iPhones and in store you can exchange them for the better manufactured ones from China.

Fairphone finally made a good phone and it's just sad seeing so much negativity around them. This is our last change for getting a phone with replaceable parts, microSD slot, decent camera and 120hz oled screen. Seeing it takes a few minutes to change the battery, speakers, screen and usb port is like a dream come true. I feel like people have been programmed to hate on these things. Literally sheep's all of you who don't support these guys. Imagine trashing a company who just wants to not screw over their customers... https://youtu.be/Q79Jl842B4g?si=KUydbkeKosGM51wW

Why don't other companies steal the vertical menu of open apps from Xiaomi? It was the only convenient thing.

like for computer mice i know shit build quality would me an creaking/rattling/scroll being annoying/microswitches giving up fast. but for phones? do you mean high failure rates or something else?
i only know about some heating issues this model has, but i'm not a big gamer unless you count in tetris.

>>105743004
It means the shell will be brittle.
The screen will develop faults quicker.
The buttons will break sooner.
The heating issues, like you already stated.
Everything can will go wrong, will go wrong about 3 years earlier than you expect.

>>105743019
>Everything can will go wrong, will go wrong about 3 years earlier than you expect.
I had a stroke or something excuse me.
>Everything that CAN go wrong. Will go wrong, about 3 years earlier than you expect.

>>105742935
Install Camera Assistant, and disable the sharpening. Also turn off scene optimmizer, if it's not off already.

>>105743019
is what you're saying exclusive to this brand or just poco line? i've had note 8 pro since 2019 and i haven't experience any of these.

>>105743024
There's only softening, not sharpening. Do I do anything with it? Also, what do I do with Quality Optimization after/if I disable Scene Optimizer? Do I keep it at Max or do I set it to Medium/Minimum?

>>105743004
in case of xiaomis you gonna:
replace battery every couple of years
buttons could break
random unit death (if you are buying indian)
so if you know how to open the phone and fix it then go for it

>>105738661
I have one and it's good for its use, I only use my phone for 4chan, listening to music, bit of youtube videos when I'm outside and porn
Battery last me around 3 days of little usage / around 14 hours SoT on WiFi

>I have one and it's good for its use, I only use my phone for 4chan, listening to music, bit of youtube videos when I'm outside and PORN

based and giggity pilled

>>105742959
don't listen to them, you'll be fine, if you're on a budget it's a good choice, just be sure to get a quality screen protector and case, don't let it get too hot too often (avoid stupid things like playing games while charging), and, if you plan to keep it for more than two years, actually try to take care of the battery health since Xiaomi is infamous for using cheap batteries

>>105743059
Both I think.

>>105743294
>it's fine
>But don't use it for more than 2 years
That's "fine" to you? lol

>>105743327
Xiaomi batteries degrade faster than normal since they use cheap Li-Po batteries instead of Li-Ion

>>105743361
And that's "fine" to you? Why?

>105743294
sir defect pooco cope lol

>>105743371
these are paid jeet shills from Poolandia. they heavily lie itt and post false information to scam anons into getting poocos

>>105743294
You are overthinking this. Just buy a cooler if someone plans to game heavily.

>>105743327
It doesn't cost much to replace the batteries on these phones.

>>105742959
OnePlus Nord 4 is the same price but made of metal. Samsung A55 is similar.

>>105743465
Why would you buy a phone that you know for a fact won't last 2 years?
Go ahead.

again i have xiaomi note 8 pro from 2019 and not only it works fine i also charge it once every 2 days. so from my experience their main brand phones are alright, i just don't know about poco

>>105743486
30% more expensive than x7 pro from what i've seen

>>105743081
Yes, set softening to high. The S23 series is notorious for oversharpening. Disable scene optimizer. As for Quality optimisation I would recommend Medium, unless you're dealing with really bright highlights in close to none lighting conditions.
You can check my settings if you want.

>>105743361
didnt know this, I guess the 80-20% battery rule works then. this is a 3.5yo poco x3 pro

>Poco tries to attract the gamer crowd
>puts a shitty punch hole on the screen
>but has a very accessible instant buy price in my third world
>Redmagic markets itself as a gamer phone
>no retarded visible punch hole (extreme plus for us schizobros)
>but costs literally double the price, could actually buy the latest flagship gooksung for the same price

>>105742959
yeah it's really good bang for your buck.
not sure what anons are raving on about, build quality is good unless you get the fake leather back ones, those suck.
my X6 is spotless after a year, didn't even change the factory screen protector yet.

>>105743361
x7p has si/c battery

>>105743507
every phone needs a cooler for gaming.
just because you still get good fps after throttling doesn't mean that it's good for your battery to be at 45c.

>105744686
>pooco very much fantastic saar! Please redeem horrible quality device and do the needful coping and seething and shilling after…

That's supposedly coming out in 2027

Normalfags are completely right. All you need in a phone is a good screen and a good camera

are poco phones that bad or do people just hate Indians ITT? they're really cheap and the specs are decent

>>105745023

software is atrocious and they're "performance first" phones that have a better chip than expected for the price range in exchange for worse cameras and build quality

>google fucked with the integrity checking again
FUCK YOU

I thought this shit was A13+ only, I'm on 11 (could update to 13 but that update locks the bootloader)

>>105735547 (OP)
>no headphone jack when the titan 1 had it
>basically none of their phones since the titan pocket (which had the same specs as the titan 1) had the jack
can always count on the chinks to disappoint

Phone that only drains 1% battery every 10 minutes of active light (4chan shitposting, watching a video, etc.) usage?

>>105745560
>in exchange for worse cameras and build quality
seems like a decent trade-off
i don't give a fuck about cameras because i'm not a woman

>>105745810
i mean there's a reason they keep making new pocos - some people, like yourself, are clearly fine with having a minmaxed phone around performance rather than a well-rounded balanaced experience with good cameras

All pooco users care about is being able to watch Bollywood and listen to their bhangra music. Sirs are simple, they even are easily persuaded by funny advertising that the average westerner would laugh and see as a meme. Some jeet posted a poco f7 shill post talking about “a handset that will turn heads” lol, lmao even.

not an argument

Can anyone help me with the Titan unihertz model i got one recently and the battery just dies on its own in 1 hour i even charged it full and it drained again this time in 25mins.

>>105745004
So are they skipping iPhone 19?

>>105746424
What kind of question is that? You got a bad battery.

>>105745023
Lol
>>105746424
Lmao even

Every time these threads come up it is all undecisive brown skins wanting to buy a non FCC approved phone with no 5G for their homosexual anti-google practices. Its not that hard to buy a phone just walk into your nearest retail store buy it and shut the fuck up about it. You could buy a phone from a foreign seller but expect no warranty, refund, support etc. All of them have their own problem, the unihertz are the worst of the batch so go do something research first before buying low quality phones from overseas scammers.

>>105746461
My question is why is this phone promoted to be nice and everything but the battery is completely borked does anyone else have battery issues when they bought one?

>>105746521
Your fault for buying their shit phones. Its bait and you fell for it. Your chances of getting your money back is slim. Theres a reason why they arnt sold in shops.

I don't know what phone to buy...
If the only option is Samsung, then I might as well buy an iPhone.

>>105745585
okay, managed to fix it
needed to clear the google services + play store + wallet
(along with using trickystore and some other stuff, I didn't bother with that last time but now I have strong integrity)

>>105743004
the schizo is retarded and doesn't even own phones, just ignore him
>le build quality
is a meme, you will put your phone inside a good case like 10 seconds after taking it out of the box
battery life is a legit concern, it is a lottery, but you already experienced it yourself that they will last years just fine, you might even upgrade your phone way before the battery even begins showing the slightly signs of dying
poco is literally just a rebranded xiaomi with modifications, they are manufactured and assembled in china with xiaomi's parts, so in regards to hardware you will get a similar experience, only the software experience differs
so yeah it's impossible to go wrong with pocos if you just need performance on a good price without extra bullshit

>"people" ITT really buy phones made of high-quality glass and metals and then put them in a transparent TPU case
you're like my grandparents that keep the TV remote in it's plastic bag packaging to preserve it

>still scratches like a mother fucker if you as much look at it

something i was wondering but is it possible to just underclock the SoC? for example if i don't need for it to be blazingly fast so it eats up the battery. i know power saving achieve that but it also kills all the apps so it's unusable

>>105745023
xiaomis come loaded with different amount of ads based on region you are in
if you want a phone with good price to performance ratio you can spend 5, maybe 10 minutes to debloat it once a year when new android comes
if you are loaded then there's no need to buy a poco when you can spend 3x times that for a phone with better camera

>>105747642
doable, you need root + franco kernel manager
u can look at shit like https://github.com/kdrag0n/freqbench/tree/master/results to see whats the most power efficient combo

>>105747642
power saving barely does anything.
Xiaomi is actually working on a way to let users control the clocks and voltages proper in android 16, but I don't know how long it's going to be and if it's going to be exclusive to CN ROM or not.

I hate Xiaomi. Why do you buy phone with ads

>built in firewall

windows also has ads

Wdym won't last two years? It's the batteries that wear out, not the phone. And it depends on the usage. Normie usage, less charge cycles so battery last longer. The poco that the other anon posted is guaranteed to get Android 19.

It was meant for heavy users. and that poco+cooler would still be way way cheaper than a Redmagic phone and even way more than a samesung ultra.

>>105745023
Some people are just mad choices exists. Lots of countries sell phones that are either the same price or higher than a poco X of F model but shit chips. Or pricier ones with similar or crap chips.
Ex. Samsung A55 launched at $200 more than the Poco X6 Pro. If you don't care about camera or One UI but gaming only, you go with the poco.

>>105748686
no you only buy pooco when youre a poverty stricken pajeet saar

>Pooco

>>105745823
That's only valid if you dismiss the markets half a world away from you, in case you're a Westerner.

Same price or higher than Poco X/F model = you get sd695, Helio G99/G100, SD 7 Gen 3.

Add $100/$200 more = Samshit A55/A56. These two only match the Poco prices when they get dumped into used markets months after launch.

People with real jobs and careers could care less about spending $1,200.
It's actually really sad and funny the only argument these jeets have is "saar it cheaper saar" lol, lmao even

Is it possible anymore to fake being a pixel phone and get to make google accounts without a phone number? I somehow managed to pull it off at the end of 2024 but I can't recall how, spent countless hours today trying many roms and modules but it kept asking for a phone number.

I desperately need some help.

>>105735547 (OP)
Need a new phone. Up to 500 eurobucks, android, good display, battery, 512gb storage. I want to use it for at least 4 years. Im very scared of chinkphones. Im currently using huawei p20 pro, very happy with hardware and my only complaint is too agressive battery saving software that kills background apps and often delays notifications and second thing is ads in stock apps. For example the weather app was really great up until last 2 years or so when it start having ads in it (which is super bizzare considering how old this phone is and the fact that it didnt havy any updates in like 3 or 4 years, ehy would they just drop an ad in the fucking weather app now?)

Im considering nord 4,waiting for nord 5 or samsung whatever latest A series is or last years S series plus

I really like dimensions of my p20 pto, so 75mm width is about my limit on how big of a phone i want

What to get?

>>105748882
Like poo bros we get that it's the best you sirs can afford, but that doesn't make it globally the leader of smartphones.

I did not try something as simple as simply faking the global props as being a pixel to be fair, that might work. But I'm too tired to try it now.

What are the chances this won't be outrageously expensive for what it is when it launches?

I can snag a Galaxy S23 128gb for $250 on MP. Worth at this stage? I'm trying to upgrade from a Razer phone 2 that's giving me trouble now.

Any cheap chinkphones with good camera? I get that the poco phones come with better chips at the expense of the quality in other things. What's something a bit more weighted to the camera department? I don't game or do anything demanding on my phone. I also don't want an older phone if it can be avoided.

For me, an anti-reflective screen has become a must. That unfortunately only leaves a few options.
S24 Ultra
S25 Ultra
S24/S25 + Samsung's anti-reflective film
or iPhone, because FloLab make decent anti-reflective glass screen protectors.
I know you can buy matte screen protectors for most phones but these normally turn out to be shitty $10 ones that look grainy and turn your gorgeous OLED into a crummy TFT.

I would stick with my v20 but jeetware play services keeps draining the battery and app support is getting bad because its stuck on android 8.

I was looking for something that is mostly easily repairable and had removable battery. But seems that ship has sailed unless you go with a Xcover.

v60 looks like it has mostly modular design once you heat and get the back cover off.
