Previous thread: >>105845059

Are the CMF phones from nothing any good? I'm looking for a cheap phone and there are good deals on oldstock CMF phone 1s. Primarily concerned with low price and good battery.

>>105868145 (OP)
Is there a war among the chink manufacturers to see who makes the most ugly and biggest camera bump or what?
I swear every single chink phone looks like OP's pic.

Is the Fairphone 6 worth the money or should I want for Shiftphone to maybe produce something decent?

Thanks for the recommendation, Xi Jinping

>>105868213
Have the same question. I'm a poorfag. Was consdiering Pooco, but heard it has plenty of bloatware

>>105868399
Hopefully we get an answer fellow budget bro

I bet Samsung could slash like $500 off the price by making a Z Fold 7 lite with no selfie camera whatsoever. This is horrific.

redpill me on oneplus nord 5

i was initially going to buy nord 4 a couple of months ago but i heard the new model was just around corner so i waited, but now it seems like more of a sidegrade/downgrade than upgrade?

>>105868399
Just use universal android debloater next generation.
https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation/.

I've ordered a Flip 7 for £734. Been on iOS for years so hoping Android isn't shit any more.
Where do you guys get your SDKs from?

>>105868399
are there any phones that put all the eggs in the camera module basket just like poco puts all its eggs in the chipset basket

>Anyone aggressively promoting iPhone is an underage micropenis shill who should be ignored

Anyone aggressively pushing mid tiers or other similar fake flagship budget devices is a liar making up nonsense.
Same misinformation spreading shill general.

SPG (Shill Phone General)

>stop posting your new phones in SPG
>stop talking about legit phone specs and benchmarks
>stop posting facts about lower end smartphones

>only $500 poorfag phones are allowed to be posted

no. the truth will always be posted using reputable sources and not just unsubstantiated bs claims. deal with it. this is not plebbit. soft af shills. if you didnt lie than we wouldnt be here. youre at fault not me. nothing you trolls can ever say matters to me. uneducated 70iq anons itt post misinformation. They don't even confirm the nonsense lies that they posted. must be a 3rd worlder thing.

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.
https://grapheneos.org/features

I've already implemented some changes such as some of the adb configuration tweaks mentioned under gearjail.neocities.org but it doesn't seem like there's too many resources on what hidden configuration opens do what on android, sure I can go through the source and go through every configuration option but that's extraordinarily tedious.

Not to mention it seems like nothing is well commented/documented in the source for android's hidden configuration options
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/main/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java

tl;dr: retard wants to have a secure phone but can't utilize grapheneos for the moment

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 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!

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.

Does the redmagic 10 support micro sd?

>>105871092
does your mom have a gaping asshole?

>>105871092
No. This is why you buy the 1TB model.

I have a note 20 ultra. I'm thinking of upgrading to the fold 7.
Do you guys think this is a good idea? I hear the s-pen is no longer supported with the fold 7, and I do happen to use the pen a bit, so this is the only thing setting me back.

>>105871336
>downgrading to a plastic screen in current year
great idea

>>105871358
Is that the only reason you have? Is there any other input you wanna give out, or is that all you got?

I can get the S25 Ultra for about 220€ with my phone carrier, is that worth upgrading from the S23 Ultra or too much of a sidegrade?
I'm not even sure how close we are to the S26 release, or if it's a better call to wait for it.

There's not much my current S23U can't do, so maybe I should just fuck off and not consoom.

Anyone have experience with HyperOS? Considering buying this pos but I'm not sure.

Are red magic phones good for day to day use? I keep seeing report of RM dropping phone calls and been extremely fragile.
>>105874958
HyperOS is dog shit, see if you can find a poco x6 pro or x7 pro instead.

>>105874958
Poco x6 is better

>>105875100
>>105875138
Nah it's twice as expensive. I'll probably get a refurbished Motorola instead at least the OS will be clean

>>105872154
you can get the poco f7 pro for about 350 during aliexpress sales, the x7 pro being around 250

Xiaomi 15

Data plan for 2 years, total cost about 500 bucks.

Win?

>>105875390
>the gpus on them are generally shit.
Not that anon, but this is the reason why I don't buy Motorola. Sucks because they make good phones.

>>105874958
HyperOS is pretty alright nowadays, just gotta revoke some authorizations

>>105875202
Make sure that you buy a refurbished Motorola G54!

I want to try out the pixel 9 since my current slab is 5 years old. The only drawbacks I see to it are that it has no headphone jack and that there is no telephoto camera lens. Thoughts?

>>105875619
Sure, it's a good deal

>>105874912
Yes. Same way you can bring back navigation buttons instead of gestures.
Get a Samsung phone with OneUI.

What is the point of this general?
There are never any good recommendations.

>>105876049
There's plenty of recommendations.
There's the U25, the U25, OR the U25.

>excited for the z flip 7
>exyshart
>dogshit screen with rounded corner meme
>exyshart
>no longer excited for the z flip 7
>exyshart
sticking with the 24 ultra i suppose. i don't think we'll get square corners again for a really long time, especially not on the flip. which sucks, since i want something fresh. i don't expect flagship performance, and really at most i just want something that can run my gachaslop well enough for dailies when i'm at the gym. but i just can't go back to rounded corners.

i fucking hate punch holes so fucking much
sony is literally the only company that knows how to make a good screen

>>105874958
avoid cheapest xiaomis, that's fucking trash
get something with a capable soc

>>105875988
>Get a Samsung phone with OneUI
I do have a Samsung with OneUI, but I can't find an option to change that setting anywhere

So close yet so far
If only they put the outer screen on the other side so you get an actually usable early smartphone era screen ratio and size when folded

Brand new low-mid range phone -or- 4 yeras old used flagship?

>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.

Spg doesn't like the facts and truth being posted about smartphones. These haters want you to buy mid tier phones like them, because it is all they can afford lol, lmao even. You posers only got one new handset. You could never buy 3 new flagships every year. 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.

KEK your doo doo ccp phones still dont have Android 16. Only devices that are important get the latest updates first.

One UI 8 with Android 16 is amazing. You just cant afford to experience it lol.

Some new Galaxy S26 Ultra info leaked.
S-pen confirmed and new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 and .7mm thinner than the S25 Ultra.

>poorco is flagship saar!

pooco f7/11 losing to a Samsung Galaxy FE lmao!

bahahaha

>105876709

>>105876559
i know flagship is the better choice but i prefer new.

>>105877308

>>105876644

>>105876302
This looks so stupid and pointless.

Xiaomibros did you guys update to hyperos 2?
I have a redmi note 13 on hyperos 1.0.17 and i've been thinking about updating it.
Is it worth it? Did you notice more battery drain after updating or other issues? Give your thoughts.

I recently bought an S23U, brand new, but the battery seems to drain too quickly. Sometimes it only last me a full day of light usage.
Do you think the battery could've degraded in these years inside the box? Or I just got a faulty unit?

Are there any smartphones that can capture photos with a camera flash?
I mean a real flash. The kind you mount atop a digital camera or remotely trigger with a wireless trigger mounted to a camera.
I tried setting my phone to 1/2 second shutter and doing burst flashes to illuminate things but it just winds up artifacting because of the e-shutter shit.

Can any smartphone plug into a USB trigger to trigger a strobe or are they forever doomed to relying 100% on continuous DC powered flicker-free lighting?

Saar redeem Pooco F7/11 and do the needful by installing rom and unlocking bootloader. Much very very good mobile.

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.

>>105880165
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.

Apple and Samsung WON

The first options that came to mind were the Pixel 9 or OP13, should I consider other things? I also don't want to pay like 1k for a phone

I need a few phone recommendations for my aunt.
She needs to replace her now dying redmi note 8 that keeps "losing her stuff" according to her(I assume it boots up in safe mode due to some issue).
I don't think she will spend more than 200€ on a phone.
I recommended a refurbished phone but she wants a new one because refurbished ones might also have issues due to age.
Anyone here know anything that will last her another 6 years.
She doesn't do much other than use Viber on it and read psalms on it at church.

Why? Are you afraid of people seeing your replies?

Americans are the reason why my country was bombed. I wish you all could fuck off from the internet. You laugh daily at my country's suffering, my mother miscarried during one of your bombings, so that's why everyone fucking hates you. You bully nations and colonize them.
>>105881960

Got my Xiaomi 15 now, debloated the most obvious stuff.
Gotta say, my Oneplus 3 is still snappy, actually more so than the Xiaomi 15, which is surely some android setting with delay and stuff.

Any reasons in 2025 to unlock/root your phone?

>>105882619
shizuku exists and works on hyperos

>>105868399
I had a Poco for a stint. The bloatware wasn't bad. It was very easy to remove. The problem was that so much of HyperOS's functionality is tied to their DOGSHIT, INDEFENSIBLE BLOWN OUT PROLAPSED ANUS launcher. It would have been tolerable if I was able to use Nova Launcher, but I couldn't, so I sent it back.

The battery life was dogshit. Felt like I was using a 4000 mah phone rather than a 5000 mah phone.

>>105870456
OnePlus 12 is better but 13R is cheaper. Though I got my OnePlus 12 for $400. Burgerland

>>105875681
What are you looking for in a phone? I'm guessing clean OS experience and easy snap and shoot camera?

>>105882627
Yes, I know, I used Shizuku and Canta to uninstall some stuff.

So returning to my question, is an unlock/root still needed nowadays, unless you want to flash another rom on your phone?

>>105882708
rooting is not worth losing the convenience (banks, payments and loyalty apps)
and if you want to root to block ads natively or run modules then might as well run a custom rom like xiaomi.eu or aosp ones

>>105882738
>(banks, payments and loyalty apps)
I have never used any of these features on a phone.

>>105882750
I use banking app, it's needed to check your account and stuff via photo tan.
Otherwise it will cost money.
One reason why I wanted to upgrade from my old Oneplus 3 with Android 8 version.

To be honest over 8 years and the camera has not improved that much on smartphones, not impressed with the Xiaomi 15, when doing snapshots.

>>105882793
>photo tan.
What the fuck is photo tan?
I just log into my online bank with the web browser. Never seen a need to get an app.

>>105882805
Heh, I am from the EU, safety regulations.
You need to an unlock to use certain features even after logged into your bank account.

what is the best android phone without camera bump? with flat display, ideally between 6 and 6.5 inches

Damn, really underwhelming from my Xiaomi 15.
My Oneplus 3 from 2017 feels just as snappy, and the interface is far more intuitive and you can easily customize everything.

Whether it's camera, or sound, the improvement over these 8 years are negligible.

I guess the only objective improvements come from

>chipset, only ever really relevant when gaming
>faster charging speeds, but probably at the price of faster degrading battery

I run the OP3 rooted with ViperFX, it sounds better and gets louder with inears.
Why do some people change their phones every 2 years or so?

Recommend a 6.4in or lower phone to me. Has to be a Snapdragon/Apple/Tensor and under £500. Can be used and Chinese.

>>105868318
Their support sucks, phone is expensive, specs are meh, updates are slow, and they never have stock of spare parts. Can't fathom why anyone would ever buy one, greenwashing scam.

just bought a xiaomi redmi 14t pro
rate my purchase and give me tips

>>105881974
After a few hours using it, I will leave my thoughts on it.
Pros:
>good battery
>good build, i really liked the design (got the black version)
>good front camera (my last phone was a samsung s21fe)
>can run heavier games really well
Cons:
>way too big and heavy
>front camera is kinda meh
>lots of bloatware
>blue light filter is too weak even in max setting, at least compared to my last phone
>installing apps in the play store is slow, maybe it is bloatware or smth
Overall, I probably will take something lighter next time. You probably will love it if you are into mobile gaming or if you can't afford a PC. I should mention that I didn't have any problem installing revanced.

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.

>pill shaped camera notch is massive (and makes display feel smaller)
>software wise, everything is "large" so there is less content on screen than in much smaller android phone (if you set it that way) which sucks 2 times (less content, harder to use large ass phone)


basically what you are choosing here is the software and size. im more at home with andorid and too stubborn to change my ways so it's a no brainer.
s25 plus is the sweet spot IMO. bigger display than s25, but not a handful like s25 ultra while not compromising too much. if i had bigger hands id probably go for s25 ultra as it doesnt seem as uncomfortable to hold as s24 ultra is

>>105890528
That's unfortunate. I really liked the mine. Guess its back to samshit.

>>105890769
good post, im a slightly above average sized guy and the pro max and s25ultra are way too big. id need hands as large as kawhi leonards to use it properly

Today I almost ordered Honor 400 Pro but changed my mind the last moment. It's a very big phone with "AI" virtual proximity sensor and "AI" photo editing built-in, every photo and video looks like oil.

What do mean by that?

>>105885359
>>105887824
Can confirm. Recently picked up a Pixel 9A. Super smooth. Just be warned. It's the budget series. So it's slightly smaller than your average Pixel. So if you're used to a larger phone, the keyboard may be kind of cramped. I've been making a ton of typos while I adjust.

I like the Flip's hardware and free music & YT premium a lot, but Android (or at least One UI) feels really low quality coming from iOS. It's like all of the apps are running versions that are 5 years older. Scrolling isn't as smooth...
I also like to emulate DSi games and none of the emulators are as good as Delta.
I'm feeling major buyers remorse...

>i fell for the meme and bought a poco x7 pro
ngl it's been pretty good, when do i get my israeli woman attached to it, saars?

>POOco

I'm going to preface this by saying I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to smartphones. And historically, for the past couple of times I've bought a phone. I just go with a pixel because I know it'll run a custom ROM out of the box. My main concern when it comes to phones is long battery life since I have a commute to work and use my phone quite a bit.

After several mishaps/busted screens and having to replace my Pixel phones, which is quite expensive, I started to do more research into the budget market. I've found that several manufacturers now release sub $200 phones with exceptionally large batteries that quite fit my need with just the amount of storage that I require.

My question is this. The pixels usually come with 8 or more gigabytes of RAM while these budget models contain 6 or 4 gigabytes of RAM. How much RAM is typically OK for running three or four applications in the background on a phone, assuming I debloat the phone with ADB or install lineage? I haven't really used many different devices in quite a long time, so I can't really benchmark how Android runs and compare them.

>>105891231
Just get a OnePlus Nord 4

>>105890843
I'm looking at chinese phones in that range with good cameras. I don't know about the AI fuckery, but I think Honor's color presentation is especially terrible. It really has that over-the-top vibrancy that cheap smartphones tend to do. I watched a blind comparison from some brit guy and I could always tell the Honor apart from the overly saturated colors and some of the white balance. It's especially criminal with grassy scenes where the greens look way oversaturated. Think you dodged a bullet anon.

why do people itt act like you can't use a battery pack, or use a micro sd card reader with a usbc on it, or use a usbc to aux dongle with a dac, or use a usbc flash drive? so strange.

If you're going to pay for the service for somebody to do that, you're better off just buying a Linux based phone or investing in a pixel and installing graphene or something.

>You will never be a real woman.
wrong boilerplate insult bro

>>105891312
Choosing a new phone is an extremely bizarre and difficult task. There's at least one critical flaw in every model that looks attractive on paper. What are these companies thinking?!

>>105891872
What do you mean

>>105891885
I meant exactly what I said. Or do you buy electronics without any research, following pajeet reviews?

>>105891902
Chill out, bro. I meant the fact that you said "what are these companies thinking" Following the fact that you said that there's a critical flaw in every model, I didn't know if you were implying that they weren't putting enough effort into the phones or they were purposely putting flaws into the models that they release or what

>>105891929
Yes, it's like there's someone sabotaging every potentially perfect smartphone with at least one abhorrent decision.

>>105891808
Linux phones all use the same CPU & GPU as normal extremely low-end Androids, but they cost much more. The only advantage is in the hardware switches, which would need to be moved anyways if you're other mods take place.

There is no reason to use an existing Linux phone, they have no advantage. This isn't a coreboot situation.

Now answer the original question or stfu.
