I bought a CMF 2 pro and I literally don't need more, the only thing is it took 15 min to remap the shitty AI button to some useful shit because those fags locked it up

>>106328708
Sadly I need banking apps to work

OnePlus won!!!

i know it's pixel season but shocked by how many of you /g/tards consooom jewgle phones willingly
and then go so far as to even have jewgle fi with it as a carrier kek, would never

Is there a single new-ish Android phone that isn't cutting board sized out there?
I just want my dick to be the longest thing in my pants, so 5.5 inches or less.
The Unihertz Jelly Max looks good to me but it's a) Chinkshit and b) has no headphone jack.

I'm in the market for a budget non-chink phone, any real reason to get a Galaxy A56 over the significantly cheaper A26? Is the SoC that much better? I'm not interested in playing games or anything like that.

I'll buy a z flip phone 7 by samsung, but a used one so it wont be that much expensive (1000$)

Anons, i fucked up and lost my Pixel 9 XL, and now im thinking, should i get the 10 XL this time, or just buy the 9 again? Based on the presentation, theres practically nothing new, right?

My nothing phone 2 is dying would it be a good change to switch to a Pixel 10 Pro? I prefer smaller phones, my only gripe with the pixel phones is the fucking hump, why can't they make phones with a flat back

>>106335275
Same camera hardware (but new custom image signal processor), much better CPU performance and efficiency (on paper), bigger batteries across the board, Pixelsnap (Magsafe), a bunch of AI features that run locally on-device because the new SoC has a much fancier TPU. That's about it.

Sadly from what I can tell, the GPU is absolute ass. It's a PowerVR (possibly IMG DXT-48-1536) and the leaked Antutu bench has it score less on GPU than even the Pixel 9.

>>106334182
Yeah I'm in the exact same boat as you. Pixel 6 Pro and considering upgrading to the 10 Pro. Not the XL variant though, I think I actually want a smaller screen this time around. With trade in and store credits I'm getting like $740 back so I'd grab a charger and pixel buds as well I'm thinking.

The significant upgrade is with the tensor G5 which iirc is the first to be made by TSMC so that could be for better or for worse. The new layout is apparently good for CPU speeds and less prone to overheating but that remains to be seen. Will be a big boost from the pixel 6 pro though. It's apparently able to run Gemini locally without an internet connection as well if you're into that kind of thing.

>>106334917
former is made of metal
latter is made of plastic

>>106335329
>worse than Pixel 9
holy. I can't wait fpr proper reviews. No wonder Google does not mention the GPU at all anywhere.

>>106335571
Addendum: Even the PowerVR is a rumour but considering how quiet they are about the GPU I wouldn't be surprised if at least the Antutu benchmark is legit, which yeah... doesn't look good. Closest actual news I could find was:
>It refused to confirm the GPU model or manufacturer, only saying that the GPU IP was “updated” and that “many” top games ran well in testing. It did, however, note in an emailed response to Android Authority that the GPU doesn’t support ray tracing.
https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-10-gpu-silence-gamers-3588379/

>>106334858
By locking the EDL mode? Not buying Oplus unless I get official lineage os support.

>>106334700
Why? Can't you use them on your laptop? Use Credit card when out or so>>106335305
mething like that?

>>106335305
Pixel 9a doesn't have the hump. For a smol phone consider Oplus 13s.

>>106334917
What makes you think Galaxy A56 ain't chink phone? IMO except for pixels, none of the other phones offer anything different.

>>106334547 (OP)
Good morning saars
i still use samsung a8 (2018) but the battery life is so shit nowodays that i think of switching to something newer
I value compact size and long term support, was thinking about the samsung s25 but i dont know if i should wait for s26 and android 16.
Also are androids still based? can i side load apps?

>>106335582
>the GPU doesn’t support ray tracing.
Seriously? Is this what we give a shit about?

>>106335613
There are (neo)banks here which are only accessible via mobile apps. They have good benefits and interest rates. Even a bunch of the more traditional ones lock you out of doing anything without 2FA from the phone app (HSBC in particular for me).
I hate modern tech. I hate the antichrist

>>106334914
The only name brand options for a small size phone are flip phones, and only motorola and samsung in the US. If you're ok with trying a first generation product kickstarter chinkshit, the unreleased ikko Mind One will be a 1240x1080 block with a single camera on a flippable hinge and there's the option for a keyboard case that has a headphone jack with a proper DAC bringing the total to under $500. It will be using a Helio processor and like all non-flagship phones with practical features it doesn't support 60fps for 4K video.

>>106335564
Is it that big of a deal?
>>106335629
>What makes you think Galaxy A56 ain't chink phone?
Samsung not being a chink brand? Come on, it's not rocket science. Sure it might be "chink" in that it might be manufactured in China, but that's a different thing.

Google is only offering $400 trade in for my Pixel 9. Should I just buy a Pixel 10 Pro and get the $200 store credit then sell my 9 on Swappa for more than $400? Or should I wait until Black Friday?

>>106335675
Not really, but conaidering that Exynos 2200 from 3+ years ago could do ray tracing, it means the PowerVR in Tensor must be something really old, and not particularily competitive with something from last year, let alone this year.

review your current phone

>>106335831
If it is the rumoured PowerVR, the raytracing configuration is modular so they would've simply opted for the model without dedicated RT hardware.

>>106334573
>mediatek
yes you do retard

How can I make sure my compromising and educational materials on a very old android phone become irretrievable?
I already deleted said files and created new ones with similar file names then deleted those things again. Though it may not be enough.
Looking to give it away to my nephew instead of dunking it into the water.

Need a new phone, I hate all the os that come preinstalled and just want lineage. Is the oneplus 9 pro still a good option for a few years or do i go with oneplus 11? 11 seems more expensive for less gain desu. Also, chink phones are the best imo but xiaomi has become a hell to unlock.

any other Androids other than Huawei/Honors coming out with 3D Face ID?
I got a heavily discounted Magic6 Pro last year and I don't think I can upgrade to anything without it anymore, never thought the day when I'd retire the fingerprint reader would come

>>106290619
If anyone cares, I managed to figure it out, I force stopped the download manager (com.android.providers.downloads), cleared cache and data, rebooted and it worked

>>106336112
flash a rom on it two times

>>106336166
Nope.

>>106336407
sucks, the software is utter shit, especially the camera DSP
the 200MP telephoto is incredibly underutilized without RAW capability, its dual-binning to 12.5MP at 2.5x yields unparalleled photos in the dark

>>106334547 (OP)
I've always owned Android phones.
I'm highly tempted to move to an iPhone, particularly an iPhone 12 or 13 with 256 gigs of storage and a replaced battery. Currently owning a Xiaomi 12 I bought second hand.

What am I gonna miss from Android?

SPG (Shill Phone General)

>stop posting your new phones in SPG

>stop please i want this to be a poorfag circlejerk

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!
No low end ccp meme phone will ever surpass better quality companies.

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

>remind shills the base model iPhone 15 & 16 outsell Androids budget and flagship devices globally every year
>remind poos they owe the USA 50% tariffs

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.

>Android flagships and budget phones are being outsold by base model iPhone 16 phones globally. LOL.

-battery life is just average
-no water resistance

I used the one from Simple Mobile Tools years ago, but I wonder if there's something better nowadays

moto g54

pros:
sd card
fairly barebones android
3.5mm jack
nfc
esim
120hz with adaptive refresh rate
fm radio
surpisingly decent stereo speakers

cons:
shit photos in low lighting
shit gpu (don't game so its not that big of an issue for me)
can get a bit hot with intensive use

all in all it's a steal for what I paid for it

>>106337472
oh and the side mounted finger print sensor is also a pro for me. i prefer it over in screen ones

>>106334876
What's wrong with any of that? Money isn't an issue.

>>106337782
you sound insecure, no one said it was a financial issue

>device is very durable and hard to crack the class

Maybe you can get better value with some chink phone, but honestly I'm too old to spend time fighting with a device to make things work.

>>106337841
I think OnePlus 13 is a better device, but at this point you should wait a little and get the OnePlus 15.

>>106336074
? I'm browsing 4chan and watching YouTube nigger. Why would I want more ? Mediatek is le bad ? Do I need a i9 in my phone to play PUBG mobile ? No ? Are you a fag ? Yes ?

I'm too old for this shit, plus I got my S25U for a lower price than an OnePlus

Samsung Beats onepoo Again.

oh no my phone wasn't bought by global npcs i should be worried

>>106337990
I hate both, but is it worth the extra price though anon? I have no horse in the race. I'm planning to buy pixel 9 btw.

>>106338028
Cope harder poor chink slop owner

>>106338320
Absolutely only poor people are going to tell you a plastic ccp meme phone favored by indians is “good”

>>106338028
Yes, replacement parts when things break, you might not get software updates, no lineage os support. So yeah, buying popular phone goes a long way. Mass manufacturing is a gift.

>>106338320
I have a iPhone 16 Pro max, galaxy s25 ultra and a pixel 9 pro xl btw. Any of these 3 devices will always be better than a plastic phone designed for impoverished people.

>>106338336
It's not about being "good" (because what the fuck does that even mean?), it's about being enough. Why pay more for shit you have no use for?

>>106338391
sorry poorfag not all of us want act broke like you

>>106338345
my phone has a non existent market share but has lineage os support and replacement parts

>>106338430
I'm not broke exactly because I don't squander my money on superficial things thinking they would magically make my dick 0.1" longer.

>>106338470
You truly won. I wish I could be happy with a choice of buying a phone that supports lineage os.

Why don’t you post your phone so everyone can see how poverty stricken you are. Maybe if you get good grades your moms new bf will buy you a real phone for once.

After a year of using the galaxy flip 6 I'm fully on board with foldable shit, even if it sketches me out. I got the fold 7 and im trading my flip 6 in which makes the flip 7 like $75. I plan on swapping the sims and carrying one for different situations.

>>106334547 (OP)
I like the design of the redmagic 10s pro.
No front camera notch and flat backside without the ugly camera bump.
I know the cameras are underwhelming as a result but it looks better than most other phones.

>3x telephoto camera is dogshit

>recent updates have made it more aggressive in killing background apps
Why I am changing:
>cracked my screen, new screen costs almost as much as a brand new s20fe
>the metal frame is all fucked up from scratches
>battery life is shortening which is easily replaceable but I will also have to fix rest of the phone
> its android auto is very slow for aome reason

has anyone tried this tempered glass from Samsung? is it good?

>>106335690
having a smartphone is mandatory now for using your banks. I don't know why /g/ insists on not using them.

>>106336166
except for huawei/honor only apple has it

>>106338789
it's easy anon, just look for phone companies who release their phones device tree on github most of these get official lineage os support

>s24u did better sales than s25u

how the fuck do i stop pixel 7a from using HDR on every picture by default? I can't turn it off as a default, just a one off. crazy bullshit.

>>106339041
That's because they don't have bank accounts or a real job that sends direct deposits anon. Some are even living off of mommy and daddy.

>>106339025
For Samsung. Not from Samsunng. Samsung does noy produce or sell Samsung-branded glass screen protectors. I use Spigen on my S24U since day 1, and it still looks brans new, save for the worn oleophobic coating.

I'm thinking of buying a pixel10 but idc about AI shit and i dont want a huge camera bump, i just want better reception since telcos fucked over chinese phones they haven't whitelisted on their network. Also a smaller phone would be nice with dual sim support for my wagie cagie.
Everyone i know complains about their iphone/samsung but continue to upgrade with their contract each year.
I would still be using my OPO if it had the new bands, same with the POCO F3 though.
Does apple even have the ability to separate two sims into work/personal like android?

>>106338973
Why not all the phone companies hide their front cam? it looks better

Is there a youtube music revanced equivalent on ios? That's all I need to know before I get an iphone because I'm tired of android

kek ok you got me there

>>106339422
on other phones i can cover it with a tape

>>106339823
They even make cases and accessories for your phones and other gadgets to hide the camera when you want. This anon is proud of the crappy ZTE they own which performs worse than a iPhone 16 Pro Max. LOL!

>>106339840
no no let's be for real, i agree redmagic 10 is shit for having in display front camera, but no way an iphone 16 is performing better than a cooled 8 elite

>>106339930

Not at all anon, but be careful. In this general we have people that are broke and jobless from shit hole countries who will tell you spending your money on another phone is a waste.

You have to be an adult to post here

>>106340111
Don't talk to me anymore you play games on a phone like some little high schooler. Adults buy pcs or if strapped for money a console at least. No one but losers who play Genshin do phone gayming.

Yes you can download torrents on a iPhone lmao!

>>106340011
If you aren't gaming in your phone, the performance is a completely irrelevant metric.

Phones aren't status items, they are like shoes, only a piss poor pajeet would attempt to project wealth with a 1000$ item. Anybody who's white can just impulse purchase one, in fact that shows poor impulse control and low inteligence.

I enjoy my Red Magic because it has exactly what I personally want. I hate the screen hole as an idea, the screen is more important than front camera, cutting the screen for the camera is stupid, that's why.
The cameras are bad, i admit it, but I don't like the photography, I never use the phone cameras except than to take a shot of a document for work so it fits me. In fact I hate the camera bumps for making the phone lay uneven.
On top of that
>three day battery life
>large comfortable screen
>flat edge is very comfortable to hold

Red magic is fucking perfect for me personally. Sure If you're deluded enough anybody cares to see the pictures of your shitjeet life the cameras aren't great and it's not for you. But if you need a device just for the internet on the go - it's literally perfect.

>>106340146
>iphone has a hole in the screen

There was never a competition. I never considered iPhone to be a valid option. Hole = disqualified.

When I was shopping for a phone I sorted by the hole-less screen and iPhone wasn't even on the list.

Hole in the screen is low caste.

>>106340164
>Low caste

Poo confirmed and everything you mentioned early and say going forward is meaningless and disqualified since you're not even human.

>>106340164
ignore the schizo, there are two negatives about the redmagic, no sd card slot, no way to unlock the bootloader

>>106340187
Ignoring me doesn't change the fact the phone lost to a iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra!
Lol, lmao even.

quit laying you have to use a dev license

>>106340252
Incorrect it's free if you plug your phone into a computer. You just have to plug it in to refresh the app server once a week or pay the $99 a year for the dev license.

minor spelling mistake i want to kms

>>106340267
ok if i am aboard for two months, what can i do ?

>>106340268
That's okay anon, only a problem when someone spergs in poo ESL.

>>106340281
You have to bring a laptop or have access to a computer with the Internet and obviously bring a wire to plug the phone into the PC. I do this for my little brothers iPhone all the time. He has no issues.

>>106340187
>no sd card slot
True but it's not as good as you think. The SD storage is slow and unreliable.
When I had a phone with an SD card it was slow to access and would occasionally shake loose. That's true for the removable batteries too BTW, they may shake loose or get corrosion on the contacts.
512GB is more than I am ever going to use, but they also have a 1TB option too, that's enough.

>no way to unlock the bootloader
I had a bad time with Cyanogen before. My banking app would detect that the phone is rooted and refuse to run on it
>Your phone is rooted there's a risk of a virus stealing your money = no service for you
>we don't know what your device even is = no service for you
Also there were other software oddities here and there.
I perfectly fine with getting just security updates until I beat my phone to death and the battery degrades, then i'm going to buy a new one.

Personally, I don't want any of those things. Red Magic never annoyed me with anything, It's literally the phone I want.

>>106340293
seems like pain in the ass, i don't miss having to deal with that back in 2015 when i had an iphone 6s

>>106340315
Apple did it this way to annoy people into buying a dev license and because they were salty the EU forced them to allow side loading app from other places.

>>106340325
the eu did nothing really, you still have to use a dev account, apple played the eu retards way too hard

>>106340306
i agree with you on other points, the sd card thing isn't that slow, i have a samsung tab s8 that has a cheap sd card and it was fast enough to even run a ps2 iso from it, other than that it can be used to store more roms to transfer later to main storage

SD cards are antiquated technology. You get the fastest transfer speeds via the usbc and using a flash drive or SSD hard drive.

>>106339538
lol, lmao even

>>106340386
yeah i love carrying my ssd with me everytime i am out, don't you know something called sd express ?

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. You own a plastic xiaomeme broke boys! Work harder and get better jobs.

I don't know jack shit about ios stuff, is it as easy as to install an apk (btw I'm in Europe if that helps)
You've talked about youtube revanced but is there also Youtube Music revanced? I mainly use the music app over the regular youtube (some songs are only available in the music app and not the regular youtube app)

Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1 for my Pixel.
My S25 Ultra has Android 16 too.
Why do low end phones never receive updates at the same time like Google and Samsung?
They must not be important lol.

>>106343657
You should read tutorials and watch YouTube videos about this first. You have two options, the free method which is not illegal and doesn't void your warranty, but it requires refreshing the app servers every week but plugging the phone into a computer connected to the Internet or pay for a apple developer license which is $99 a year and you won't have to do the PC part anymore. They do have YouTube music revanced as well.

>>106343657
no it's not easy to install like apk on android, also being in the eu doesn't even matter because the law didn't change anything and apple got around it by allowing alternative stores which making requires apple dev license too

do you think it's practical to reactivate my apps every 7 days ?

>>106343766
Tsk tsk idk lad depends which pixel you were thinking of getting and where you live. In the EU the new Pixel 10 has a locked bootloader, but here in the USA if you buy a unlocked Pixel 10 model from a Google store directly in person or online it can have the bootloader unlocked. If you want a Pixel 9 you’re good to go and purchase one in any country.

Regarding the whole debate around 80% or 100%: I get why 100% is slightly worse but doesn’t more frequent charging also degrade the battery? In other words, wouldn’t charging from say 40-80% every single day basically be equivalent to charging it 30-100% every other day?

>google pixel 10 pro reduces battery capacity after just 200 charging cycles

wait wait then why the only unlockable xperia phones are only eu and hk ?

>>106343789
I do it for my little brother and it’s not hard. Just please watch some YouTube tutorials so you can visually see what you gotta do. Just look up “how to side load app on iPhone without a dev license” and if you think about it $99 a year is not a lot of money. You won’t have to do the pc part and yea it sucks it isn’t free and Apple is pissed about side loading and did it this way to annoy people into paying them for the dev license every year.

>>106343784
what should I upgrade to instead, given all that I said?

I do agree that the privacy meme is objectively good

Idk if that true and I don’t want to tell you something wrong anon. Another anon was saying that EU mandates locked bootloader, but I really don’t care to look up stuff about a country I don’t live in. I can just confirm that here in the USA Google selling the phones unlocked fully paid off results in an unlocked bootloader and to me this is less annoying.

>>106343814
i used to own an iphone and i know everything you talk about, but it's no way the same freedom as installing apps on android, i don't think a former android would like that, i won't ever miss having to wait for jailbreaks to actually use my phone whatever way i want

>>106343870
Yes sucks for the EU, I fear we might be next in the USA. It’s those Palantir scum bags who want to be able to spy on everyone, they are paying off our politicians to enact laws making privacy harder.

>>106343913
it's fake

>>106343904
Honestly esim is something I like. You can copy the esim over to your other phone without having to go to a store or call the carrier. It allows your phone to be able to hold more numbers if you have multiple lines. I really only think it’s best for safety, you can not get sim swap attacked. People have lost millions around the world due to sim swap attacks.

>>106343920
So the EU isn’t forcing a locked bootloader?

>>106343933
i hate using ai, but this time it seems helpful

>>106343927
https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=esim%20hacks
after a simple search looks like esims suffer from swapping attacks even harder than normal sims

also why i am searching for you, do that yourselves bakas

>>106343951
So the Palantir grifters are really paying off companies to lock the bootloader if it isn’t mandated by law. This is my own personal opinion. Peter Thiel is the most evil person in the world.
>>106343969
How tf? I was reading it was supposed to be harder since you have to download a esim profile and it’s usually locked behind a password you make for example with certain carriers you use the websites or apps they have to get a esim for your line. Guess it’s obvious hackers just find a way. Sim swapping is a multi million dollar scam business sadly.

>>106344011
>So the Palantir grifters are really paying off companies to lock the bootloader if it isn’t mandated by law. This is my own personal opinion. Peter Thiel is the most evil person in the world.
boycott companies that lock their bootloader it started with huawei, after that zte and asus, now it's samsung maybe in the future google too

Take meds.

Can battery ASoC and BSoH readings be trusted? My phone's ASoC is at 93%, while the BSoH is still at 100%. This is after 1y7m or so of usage, being pretty gentle with the battery and using various limits and protections.

>reviewers say s25u can play youtube for like 17 hours
>meanwhile browsing 4chan with wifi, nfc, GPS turned off, power saving and cpu throttling turned on and minimum screen brightness eats about 10% of battery per hour
???

>>106344675
10% per hour of SoT is the industry standard or something. Every phone seems to target that as their benchmark for "full day battery"

>>106344675
Same. Samsung is criminal with their 5Ah battery. They could have given us a 6-7Ah if they would have switched to SiCa instead.

Does anyone here use Optimum for their provider. all over their website says they "only support iphone samsung and select motorola devices" but that doesn't make any fucking sense and i want to buy a used Pixel.

>>106344726
and have another note 7 on their hands? They will quality test the fuck if they ever change battery types

the iphone 15 is so pretty, i want one but ive never used anything ios before and i hate america

>>106344675
Pause
Did Samsung actually tested battery performance with video rendering streaming and buffering or did they just played a playlist with nothing but pure songs and static backgrounds?

>>106344645
ASoC is just the charge left of the current cycle and therefor irrelevant. how are you measuring BSoH? accubattery seems pretty accurate, mine is 90% after 4 years of 20-85%

>>106345122
Both readings from ADB with the "adb shell dumpsys battery" command. ASoC should refer to the maximum battery percentage, no? I get similar readings in mA from accubattery.

Anons, what the way? Should i get the P 10 XL or the 9 XL? I heard that the 10 has a pretty crappy GPU and someone above wrote something about the battery problems. So now im thinking. If i get the 9, will it eventually get the features from the 10? What do you guys think?"

What phone do I get if i want lineageos and some emulating for games?

>>106345408
budget ?

I'm poorfag, or to be more accurate I don't want to pay more than I should for something I'm using mostly for calling and doomscroling.
Which on of those three should I pick?
It's all in the same price range.
The A26 is slightly appealing for the 6 major OS upgrade.
Note 14 has better camera
C75 is well cheap

>>106345136
chatgpt tells me ASoC is just your current charge (percentage left of maximum capacity). BSoH is the maximum capacity compared to original design capacity.
> I get similar readings in mA from accubattery.
so is it saying 93 or 100%? because the former would be kinda bad

>>106345444
It's giving me an estimate of roughly 3700 mAh out of design capacity 3785, but the phone actually has 3900, allegedly. The 3785 is some absolute minimum acceptable capacity for a "3900-class" battery.

>>106344753
I get that. I'd pick stability over performance (endurance) too, but at least give us a 5.5- 5.7Ah LiIon, and make the phone thicker. Get rid of the retarded camera bump too in the process.

8 months later my OnePlus 12 5G is still broken and I refuse to spend money to fix this broken chinkshit I only had for 2 months before their cheap glass shattered.

I thought poco is the shit cheap brand?

Are these pixel phones any good at emulation and x86 gayming? They have a unique full Linux VM feature that just got a graphic support, does this mean you could install box86+proton and run windows software?

>can't even download webms and watch them in iOS without downloading VLC Player and even then it's screwy
Fuck this.

>The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite significantly outperforms the Google Tensor G5 in both CPU and GPU benchmarks. In Geekbench 6, the Snapdragon 8 Elite achieves a single-core score of 3,033 and a multi-core score of 9,271, compared to the Tensor G5's 2,276 and 6,173 respectively, representing approximately 33% faster single-core and 50% faster multi-core performance.
The gap is even more pronounced in GPU performance, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite scoring nearly 3 times higher than the Tensor G5.

The Snapdragon is coming up on a year old, so the gap between the "8 Elite 2" or whatever they call it and the HECKIN' BRAND NEW Tensor G5 will be even greater. So for anything requiring GPU or processor performance the S25 Ultra (for example) will be better. Not sure about Windows emulation.

The reasons to buy a Pixel are either you want day 1 Android updates AND you like Google enhancements to mostly vanilla Android OR you want to install GrapheneOS. Performance isn't really a priority for the Pixel team. Not that it will be slow in day to day usage, just that it won't perform as well in stuff like Genshin Impact as either a new iPhone or new flagship Samsung.
