Anyone aggressively pushing poco or other similar lower tier budget devices as being a flagship is a liar from a impoverished nation making up nonsense.

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.

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.

Is it worth upgrading to a Nothing Phone 2? I just bought a refurbished one online for around $500 since it was the last one in stock.

I had my last phone(OP7 Pro) for years and it's starting to show its age. I haven't heard a lot about the Nothing Phone so I don't know what I'm getting into. I made my decision based on this list and it seems to me a lot of Android phones are starting to be locked the fuck down.

I had to temporarily switch to Google's stock pixel rom after using GrapheneOS for 3 years due to a feature that sadly isn't available w/ GOS. Are there any ways to further "secure" the stock rom from law enforcement? Already aware of Google's advanced protection program and that certainly is one step forward but sadly it only incorporates 1 or 2 features that you get for granted on GrapheneOS.

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.

correct, there is no workaround so it's just a compromise you have to make

>he doesnt like the phone so he must be lying
no i just dont care for it. i feel like i shouldve gotten a cheaper phone and either an ipad or a save up for a decent laptop
that would’ve fit my use case better
either would be more functional because the software isnt cut down for ios like it is on my iphone, and i dont really use the camera so having giga ultra nigga cameras is neat but not necessary
like I’d like to be able to use the full versions of photoshop and logic pro but cant, i knew this going in and thought i could make due with garageband and ios photoshop but theyre so cut down to the point of being less or at least similarly functional than stuff on android

so my phone's on android version 10 for some reasons i really don't need to give a damn about anymore, it can handle newer versions. there's a system update OTA that upgrades it to android 13. if i take it, will my phone no longer be rooted through magisk and will i have to do it again?

In my experience when I charge to 80%, I let the battery drain very low (<5%) before charging again. Given that letting it go down that low is bad for the battery as well, I don’t think the 80% limit helps at all.
