I haven't seen an 8800mah phone before unless its one of them cheap chinese phones that freeze all the time.

>>106137942
>pixel has battery issues
just found out about this and claimed the 100 bucks from google for my 6a

what now? i need a phone that lasts me 5-10 years and doesnt annoy me
my only real needs are messenger and banking apps

>>106139101
I'm in same boat, recent samsung phones are really bad they been on a $200 discount for weeks and reviews are saying battery is shit and lags. Pixel i know has battery problem on all of them. Lately was looking at the moto g86 power that came up here in retailers but theres no reviews and unsure at this point any phone i buy is just gonna have its own unique problem.

>bought an Xperia
>wtf i cant recieve calls or texts
> goes to isthisphoneblocked.net.au

Yeah wow this government really hates phones and all telcos are blocking imported phones even ones sold within state. Cant use a dumb phone either they are blocked too, wtf is this i just a phone that fucking works and isnt blocked.
JEWS

Lying uneducated 70iq poverty stricken shills really do straight up post lies in this general. My S25 Ultra is running fine and never had any issues after every update, but the latest update did fix some issues that they listed. No phone is ever free of software bugs, but that's why updates exist. Feels good having Android 16 and One UI 8.

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.

Apple and Samsung Won.

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.

>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"
>Post multiple flagships and vehicles the butt hurt shills can't afford
>watch the poos and poverty stricken shills sperg

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. Now the trolls are lying calling me Indian. Lol I live in NY in a completely paid off home lmao another thing impoverished shills cant afford. Such low IQ attacks.

Why do they always talk about folding phones here, but I don't see them on the streets? Nobody buys them!

>>106139391

Get anything but Samsung and Xiaomi with 8gb RAM

sirs buy Android mid tier plastic cope phones like many other poverty stricken shills, because they can not afford anything over $1,100 and than come here to lie about how "great" they are. Lol, lmao even.

Apple and Samsung Won.

What exactly are 400 cycles?
Pretty sure I've had my phone over 2 years and am charging it every day but didnt notice a thing.
Is it 400 times the full load? I'm usually at 60-80% at the end of the day.

Will the cycle count reset if I change the battery?

>>106139426
The point is im not spending $2000 on a fucking phone if i barely use it thats why i was suggesting if i should get an average moto phone you biggot.

>>106139508
Thats weird i was reading they dont have bloatware and that. My search results are rigged like the trump election.

do you guys use phone cases/screen protectors?

>>106139930
Nah im not clumsy

>>106139930
Only clumsy cretins need cases and screen protectors because they constantly drop their phones every day!

>>106139978

>When you got a $450 plastic meme tier budget phone, protecting it doesn't matter.

Lol

I can't believe Indian schizo is still going. I left the thread for months
still enjoying my F6 btw. Android 16 soon.

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

How the fuck did they make split screen view worse in Android 15 than in 10?

I don't hate Apple for the sake of it, it's just that getting her one was already expensive, getting 3 or 4 is too much and a waste.

OnePlus won!!!

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.

>>106145080
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. Most of the people itt are lying about a cheapo budget friendly device being a high quality phone. It's a problem unfortunately with lower IQ individuals.

Can't wait for the doo doo sir cpu!

Every time some poor shill spergs and says I'm brown makes me laugh so much! I couldn't ever imagine being so silly, but i remind myself this general is full of lying 70iq poos and shills spreading misinformation about smartphones and recently tablets.

Why do mutts care about phone carrier plans or something. Why you can't just buy a phone

I hate pixel and Xiaomi. And Samsung. Actually I have Samsung.

>>106145644
If you have a family plan (multiple lines), you can get a pretty damn good deal. For the same price as the cheapest MVNOs, I can get a free flagship phone as well? No brainer.

It's only an issue if you travel a lot or plan on switching carriers. You wouldn't be able to install a travel eSIM or switch to another carrier without paying off everything.

yes, this general has the most consistent schizo spam Ive seen on here

Guys, want a throwaway phone for overseas travel + avoid Australian customs from backdooring my main phone as it's required by law for them to look through your phone on return.
$228 for Redmi 14C
$210 for Moto G24
$165 for Moto G24 (refurb)

Both look to have good battery life which is what I care about the most. Better camera would be nice but I might take 5-50 pictures on the trip, no idea and I don't really care desu.
Any thoughts?

Pixel 4 or 5 with GrapheneOS any good?

which way white man?

>>106139189
that's your mistake anon. you bought a Xperia. this phones are crap now

>>106139930
yes.
even though my screen protector fucks with the fingerprint reader and the anti reflective effect is gone.

>>106145797
I'm getting excited for spigen being lazy fucks again for making case with zero camera holes

I got the S23 a year and a half ago because it was small. It really ain't that small, honestly, sometimes I get pretty tired holding it one handed and I can't reach the whole screen with my thumb without jangling the phone around on my fingertips. With a proper secure grip my thumb reaches about 80% of the way there to the top right corner, and about 2/3 of the way to the top left corner.
Ideally my phone would be small enough to reach ALL corners with my thumb and a secure tight grip, and also be like 40 grams lighter jeez

>>106147929
nothing phone 1 from ali if you want photos

>>106148893
shit, meant cmf phone 1

>>106148899
interesting. free shipping makes it worthwhile, like $50 more. might consider that.

Oppo A40 4gb or Samsung A06 4 gb? This is for my aunt that will mostly use it for work and whatsapp. She can get one of those for free with her phone plan. I read that the A06 is dogshit, what about the oppo? Cant find much info

Swipe so I don't lose screen space

6.67 inches is the largest I can handle

Why doesn't it go up? Mine is stuck at 3%.

>>106144101
Any time you see something like this happen it's because it breaks a revenue stream for them. You could probably get YouTube playing in a tiny entire at the top or bottom of the screen and they wanted to pay wall that functionality so they broke it.

It's just a bunch of lying poverty stricken shills that only buy $450 meme phones who are making things up about them being "good" that ruined the general.

>>106152233
That's what she said

The S25 FE is going to be shit with another shitty Samsung chip isn't it?

Just got to the end of my contract with an S23+ . The S25+ is an upgrade in just about every way but it feels a bit annoying paying premium prices and being locked to it for 48 months. That said, is anything really happening in the word of smartphones? Doesn't seem like we'll be getting those new batteries any time soon.

Fell for the Poco Meme.

Jokes aside pretty good phone, you can uninstall like 90% of the bloatware, and the remaining ones are barely noticable (Like in the Theme apps)

does the white pixel 9a have a slight piss-color tinge or is it just my monitor?

I really want the Pixel 10

the prices sre going up steadily, besides that not much

is note 9 the last good phone ever made?
I am seriously about to drop $500 on a 7 year old phone in a sealed box while I still can, it has heart rate sensor, iris scanner, physical buttons, no notch, it has included headphones (jack) and charger, microsd slot, physical sim slot, led notification, bluetooth spen, no ai bullshit and much more
the only minus is lack of 120hz screen but I can live with that

>>106154375
it also has linux on dex and gear vr if I don't upgrade it to android 10, literally perfect phone

>>106150936
those phones are shit and the phone plan must be shit too. she should get the most value phone plan and buy a phone separately. SoC should include at least an A715 or better. like a Poco X6 Pro or X7 pro, or Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G.

Is the Oppo Reno12 Pro 5G with 12GB RAM and 512GB a good replacement for my old Galaxy A10? I've found a good deal for it and want to get a phone with an SD Card slot because my MP3 collection is on there, but wondering if its worth going a few hundred dollars more for an S series galaxy or One Note 13 and keeping my old A10 as a music player.

>>106145686
In Russia way of get good tariff is MNP threatening carrier. Mae MNP, wait untill they call and offer huge deal like 70% discount.

I have unlimited data and 500 minutes for 200₽ a month.


But phones via carrier looks weird to me. Phones are hugely expensive off carriers
Also, locked phones are prohibited in Russia, all phones here are unlocked.

I have a lot of android phones i'm trying to sell, but every time I factory reset them, even after removing my google account before factory resetting, upon next initial setup, it's asking to verify my account, sign into the previously signed in google account, and doesn't allow for offline setup. How do you factory reset them and not have them ask for an account on next setup?
And before i get

all of these phones are signed into my own google account, are setup, and usable, i'm trying to wipe them to sell so the next buyer doesn't get stopped by it asking for my login.

What's wrong with it?

I just want the best possible cameras for the price. I refuse to get into the iPhone ecosystem, I'm never buying a pixel again, and the S25 ultra is a bit too expensive here even though it's the most attractive to me.

My use of phones is really basic otherwise. I could get by on way cheaper phones easily but I really want a good camera system. I'm going to be working in another country for a while and I want to be able to take good pics of the whole stay without lugging around actual cameras.

Maybe pricier than similar spec chinkphones, but have guaranteed updates till 2031/2033, possibly longer than that and swappable battery. Replacement parts are available directly from producer store and easy to do.

>>106139101
10 years of life and banking apps cannot be in the same sentence unfortunately
Well, pixel and samsung have extended their security update guarantee to 9 years or so. Apple had it for years. Only chinese phones can't handle this matter.
You can't really get it for 500-600$. You will have to keep buying a new phone every 4 years or so unfortunately

So, that's it? if I want a phone from last year or this year without a fucking buttugly notch in the middle of the screen for a women-only front camera I never use, I'm limited to these?
It's fucking grim.
I guess I'll take good care of my oldass Poco F2 pro and just buy a new battery

Im holding off from an upgrade my phone is 5 years old, i can always use my old phone and hold out until they stop making these bad designed phones with shit hardware and the camera notch dead zone problem. I can already see theres a smartphone sales crisis happening, no one is buying them and they discounting them from 200-800 dollars its so bad they dont even realise.

So many brokies itt today making excuses about why they can't buy a high quality flagship phone over $1,100 and have to settle for mid tier CCP doo doo or excuses for why they are holding onto a 3+ years old device. Kek!

Apple and Samsung Won.

That smartphone is objectively amazing, but it'll get burn-in issues eventually because it has an AMOLED display! It's up to you if you want make that choice!

>xiaomi redmi turbo 4 pro
This looks incredible but I can't find it in the US

>>106166636
it's just the chinese version of the poco f7. it has a bigger battery and different mobile bands. giztop sells it, but depending on your area/provider you might need the poco version.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Won

>>106166681
where can I find information on bands? What the phone uses and my local cell providers

>bought samsung a56 yesterday
>connect to wi-fi
>system update starts downloading cant stop it
>phone wants to reboot click okay
>phone wont turn on anymore
>returned it for refund
I don't get it i have a Galaxy S22+ that lags like shit and battery drains per minute and a midrange phone cant even run without bricking itself within 20 minutes.
Fuck Samsung, i need a suggestion now and dont say Poco that shit gets mould growing on its back.

>>106166800
giztop lists what the phone uses. what your provider uses and what your local phone towers use is probably searchable on various websites.

>>106166985
Cricket supports it, Redmi Turbo 4 Pro it is for me, thanks anon

> Is the Oppo Reno12 Pro 5G with 12GB RAM and 512GB a good replacement for my old Galaxy A10? I've found a good deal for it and want to get a phone with an SD Card slot because my MP3 collection is on there, but wondering if its worth going a few hundred dollars more for an S series galaxy or One Note 13 and keeping my old A10 as a music player.
Yes

LMAO sirs!

i got an old phone collecting dust that has fucking 2GB max memory. like it's samsung so running both samsung and google shit takes up like 3/4s of the available memory.
i don't want it to just be e-waste, would installing lineageos on it lessen the load, or is it a lost cause?

>>106166629
my 6 year old amoled xiaomi has only burns on status bar and nav bar
absolutely not an issue nowadays + hyperos moves ui elements every minute to prevent burn-in

>>106167682
if you are in xiaomi telegram groups you know that quality control of indian xiaomis is laughable, that's also why they get special indian editions ('in' in codename + no nfc)
my old phone has an indian variant and those phones suddenly die out of nowhere (some cases due to battery, some to motherboard, others due to ufs)
my two xiaomis are global eea versions and no problems whatsoever

indian made phones have india on the sticker, global variants are still made in china

do i get an iphone 17 pro when it comes out next month or a galaxy s25 ultra

I got a s22 rn, battery is shit and it overheats like crazy, literally burning my thigh when i put it in the pocket, my plan renews in november around black friday, what should I get? Budget around 40 euro per month for 2 years including the plan, I mostly use the phone for light browsing and maybe some game like Hearthstone from time to time, I used to have an A52 before the S22 but God damn the battery was a champ compared to this shit

Report back in a month. I want to buy the phone too, but most of the long term reviews are Indian's.

Still rocking an ancient POCO F5, no complains

one of my only two lightning cables has frayed to the point it barely works
can't wait to upgrade from 14 pro to CURRENT YEAR

Feels better on battery life somehow, animations were slightly improved upon

Other than that, still a boring Android skin

Make the move to LineageOS

They're not that bad, they're usable, as long as they from bigger brands like Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi and you don't fill it up with apps and notifications, the crappy ones are TCL, Alcatel and Blu, those are raw garbage.

how many h1b visas are required to do the needful Work

I'm looking for a new budget phone thats built like a tank, and has a really good gps for driving, wont die to water (my pixel 4a died to stormy rain, even though it was in my coat pocket), the screen wont be unresponsive to my touches after a couple years (every single phone i've owned has had this issue), can receive and take calls properly, can receive signal properly. I have a moto e20 that i bought for £80 and its a piece of shit thats breaking down, and it has all of the problems that i mentioned above. I dont care about the camera or benchmarks, and im someone who barely uses his phone but i need it for functional needs. Also i'd like to install lineageOS or any custom OS, but its not a requirement. I see the samsung a56 for £270, but if theres a good cheaper chink phone or something then i dont mind going for that.
Some listings i found are
>Nothing cmf 2 for £211
>samsung a26 for £200
>samsung a16 for £123
>poco x7 512gb for £194
>poco x7 pro 512gb for £239

>>106172048
>thats built like a tank
>Nothing cmf 2
Its 105% plastic, i'm using it right now
other than that it should suit you well.

>>106172116
the IP rating is ip54, so im just scared it will eventually die to water. Given the fact that Nothing is based in the UK, but their phones cant survive the weather is ironic.

>>106172157
seems like it could handle some rain desu

>>106172173
poco mogs the cmf 2 in terms of ip rating (ip68), and poco is plastic as well. I just dont know if poco phones have a good gps.
>ip54 is 25cm of water for 20 minutes
im just not comfortable with that.
If you know of an upcoming chink phone thats good, tell me plz.

I've decided that I'm going to keep my S25U. I was tempted to wait for the iPhone 17... but thinking about it, this phone is far more suited to my needs than the iPhone. Apple's keyboard and file manager alone are reasons to stick with Sammy.

Pixel 6's screen lifted after dropping it on carpet with a case. Now it's starting to turn purple from the edge near the middle and is spreading each day. OEM replacement screen from Ifixit costs as much as a renewed Pixel 6 and people say the knockoffs screens are laggy. Is there any recommendation for something about refurbished around 120 or slightly more that has just as good of a processor, just as much ram, and battery life?

After however many years of using the F3, I'm thinking about buying another one. Not because I'm unsatisfied with it. It's just that I've dropped it a billion times, gotten scratches on the front screen, and smashed the camera. Would have STILL kept using it, but the battery has kind of gone to shit too. Should I get an X7 pro or a F7? I don't need fancy shit. Just something that has a good enough battery life and the ability to play Genshin maybe? I don't really play games on my phone though.

10000maH should be the standard for next year's phones

The Moto G86 has been out for a while, thoughts on it?
(Btw: never try to find a old /g/ thread on the archive, worse mistake of my life)

Im looking at the x7 pro and f7 as well. the x7 pro is £239, and f7 is £329. I will never game on the phone, so should i get the x7 pro in this case?

Is that anon that was looking for a phone without cameras still here? I actually found a functioning phone that doesn't have cameras.

Australia isn't a real country

>>106144116
You aren't fucking her hard enough if she still uses an Apple phone

>>106147929
Backup your phone and wipe it before going through customs. Use the recovery to restore your data after you exit the den of iniquity that are modern airports. Or mail the phone back to yourself. Australian people are such gromless sheep I'm sorry I ever came here. It really is a country of doormats.

>>106148408
I miss pie gestures.

>>106144116
I mean if the kids want an iphone and you're financially able to give them iphones, maybe give them like an older model or something? For kids it's less about function and more about fashion/status. Having an iphone is a status symbol. Depending on how old they are and what country you live in ofc.

>>106148842
Screens are too fucking big which makes the phones even bigger. 5.5 inches is the perfect screen size and phones shouldn't weigh more than 135g.

>>106160462
Phones have gone backwards. The are still removing features and increasing the price. Consumers are NPCs.

>>106173364
>should i get the x7 pro
if you like mold on your phone

>>106172048
>expects flagship level of reliability in a budget segment

>>106173364
yeah, x7 pro has some developers (roms forever in beta due to mediakek) and mali gpu finally getting some driver support for emulation
it should be totally fine to buy if you are on budget

>>106172907
f7 pro if you can find it on sale, slightly better gpu, ultrasonic fingerprint, better cameras and smaller than f7

>>106139701
>Will the cycle count reset if I change the battery?

>>106174129
i'll be getting the non leather edition, thx for telling me about that.
>>106174222
i feel like those are basic needs though? i dont care about the camera and gaming performance.
>>106174268
ah, you think the f7 would get roms eventually then? is it only mediatek chipsets that have trouble

>>106170258
3,000 battery, not sold in AU, MediatekHelio. The only niggers who would buy this is an indian (which they do because they posted videos) so you know this phone is from India.

>>106172173
Good. Now you can drown yourself in the bathtub with the phone and let someone take it and post it to live leak.

ausfag here. is it true that immigration checks your phone upon arriving back in australia?
everyone recommends a burner phone and then factory resetting it on the plane / upon arrival.
Is that not sus?
also they won't believe me when I say I don't have social media :(

>>106174803
burner phones don't work much. the 4g dumb or smart phones are mostly blocked on carriers. You can use "isthisphoneblocked.net.au" . Everytime i look up a phone i want its literally blocked and im limited to a select range of shit phones. Australia sucks ass desu.

>>106169908

Buttons with pic rel on.
Gesture controls have that line at the bottom which you can only make shorter but not turn off completely.
I like to hide the navigation bar when I'm scrolling through my 4chan app for example and get that much more space on my relatively small S23.
>>106160462
>>106173551
My friend got a used S10 in pretty good condition. We were comparing phones and I knew it still had a headphone jack and expandable storage and I was reminded it has a higher res display. I'm fine with 1080p on my device but then I saw that the S10 has an option to decrease the resolution down to 1080p and 720p while my device is locked to 1080p. I found out that this feature only still exists on ultra and some plus models but not on the base Galaxy S phones.
Now I wish I had gotten a Note 9 or some S10 device in 2019 or 2020, instead I got memed into buying the OnePlus 7 Pro which became horrible after a few years. If I had gotten a Galaxy device from that generation I would probably still be using it. I even liked the OneUI version prior to 7 way more.

I'll never buy Samsung phone again. Nothing works as it should in it.
I wish I never dropped my Huawei phone...

>>106176363
You can set any resolution you want via ADB.

So eurofags with xiaomimeme will be now forced to watch ads? LoL

>>106174539

No? You can disable them or, even better, not use apps made by Xiaomi

Unless something has changed and you're not telling us

That’s just for Europe not global lol

Samsung and Apple Won Again

xiaomi now on second place in europe

What's your experience with big as fuck phones' durability? Not a phonefag but from researching over the past couple of days it looks like the one that makes the most sense to get is the nord N20 (it's got to run lineage and these are cheap new). They're big as fuck though, if I'm doing /out/ shit will I break it?

lol butt hurt poverty stricken poo is still sperging

Spg doesn't like the facts and truth being posted about smartphones. These haters own one phone worth $500 max and 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. I couldn't imagine not being able to buy 3 new phones every year unlocked and with cash too, it's so sad some of you have to take a budget conscious approach to buying a phone. Work harder and get better jobs.

are we looking at the same phone? its actually slightly smaller than normal phones are now

Thinking of getting a Pixel 9a with the voucher I got because of the Pixel 6a battery shit.
How long do they normally take to cut prices?

Dumb question from a guy who isnt very knowledgeable about phones, is there a place like r/unixporn but for phones? I want to see how other people have customized their phones and see new interesting software. ( I recently bought a google pixel 7 )
