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.

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. 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.

4.7 inches is such a comfy size, fuck normalfags for wanting tablets to watch their goyflix everywhere they go, old people too for being so blind

>Android flagships and budget phones are being outsold by iPhones globally, a base model iPhone 16 phones this year and the base model iPhone 15 did the same thing last year. LOL.

i'm also looking for same thing but there isn't any options. in that price range you can only afford high tier budget shit which will start lagging after a year and comes with shit camera too.

hey guys, my phone died and I'm using my dad's phone and it's impossible for me to do since he died recently
I'm a poorfag so I have around 200 euros for a phone, I dont know what to get and where to start, it's been one hour I'm redditing
I only plan to take pics once in a while, but I want perfect smoothness while I'm doomscrolling social media and chatting in discord, mozilla etc, I dont plan to game either, just normie activities, I dont want it to become hot after 1hour of watching youtube content
what I want also is ok battery life, and a phone that wont become obsolete and laggy in a year or two

backmarket has some good deals but idk if it's good or not, like a pixel7 with used battery for 180euros, but redditors say the battery life is shit, so naturally secondhand battery will last me a few hours yeah?

>Google To Require Identity Verification for All Android App Developers by 2027
https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/08/25/1716213/google-to-require-identity-verification-for-all-android-app-developers-by-2027

Google will require identity verification for all Android app developers, including those distributing apps outside the Play Store, starting September 2026 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand before expanding globally through 2027. Developers must register through a new Android Developer Console beginning March 2026. The requirement applies to certified Android devices running Google Mobile Services. Google cited malware prevention as the primary motivation, noting sideloaded apps contain 50 times more malware than Play Store apps.
Hobbyist and student developers will receive separate account types. Developer information submitted to Google will not be displayed to users.

>FOR YOUR PROTECTION OF COURSE

dystopian as fuck.

how many people doesn't get apps from google's store? i bet it isn't more than 0.1% of the total users and that's generous. im not counting any mainstream sideloading places that should be safe anyway because it's a company that for some reason dont want to give google a cut, maybe fortnite or something have a non-google-store option but that's not really one of those shady apps that they claim they totally are doing this for

any significant improvements on the pixel 9 over the pixel 8? I'm debating whether to get a pixel 8 or spend $100 more and get a pixel 9, both are brand new. I keep reading the pixel 8 has shitty battery life but i don't plan on watching movies or gaming on it so i think i should be fine. But if the 9 is that much netter i might fork the extra $ for it.

i use ubuntu touch and none of you fags can stop me

>>106384758
9a has battery improvements

>>106384777
I can get a 9 cheaper than a 9a, which is why i was not even considering the 9a. Also I've been looking in the archives and in the web and am surprised at how frequent hardware issues seem to be on the pixel 8. Not only issues with battery, but screen stuff as well. I thought the 8 was like google's flagship? how can the quality be that bad? wasn't it like an $800 phone lol?

Anyways i take it the 9 is not that much of an improvement over the 8 then?

the pixel 10 pro is getting raped in the reviews i think i'll stick to my pixel 6 pro for now

>>106384962
9 has modem improvements, 9a and 10 have battery improvements

>pixel 10 pro default model comes as 128gb
LMAO

>>106385063
Its entirely in an attempt to justify a multi hundred dollar up charge for what should be the base storage amount for a phone and to extract the same amount of money as other "flagships" despite Pixel offering nothing over them.

watch the iphone 17 air beat it in benchmarks, calling it right now, and it'll be $200 less than the pixel 10 pro 256 model.

NTA, but is the pro version any good?

Spotted a bench from an actual retail Pixel 10 Pro XL. CPU score is about on par with an S24 but the GPGPU score remains the same as the leaked benchmark which puts it behind even a Pixel 9. It doesn't relate to 3D performance but is still a bad sign. GPU drivers might be a long battle ahead for Pixel 10, or worse, this could really be it.

>>106388053
Thanks. Seem decent. Is the poco x6 worth the extra cash? There's a decent sale here in Vietnam.

>>106382950
>what do you recc
saving up $100 more and getting the xperia 10 vii when it releases in oct

I need a very cheap burner phone to buy an item online anonymously. Obviously I'd prefer a phone I can realistically find in any local store and pay in cash.

Suggestions?

I'm looking at replacing my iPhone SE2 since the battery life is pretty abysmal - I want a small phone I can use with one hand. Prefer not to spend a fortune since I just use it for basic stuff including carplay/android auto, no gaming. Anything you'd recommend? I can wait a little if something is around the corner

Pixel 9a is available for 330€, any opinion on it ?
Ifnot the Pixel 10 is at 600€

I currently have a moto G30 and a iphone SE 2022.

I got the iphone because my moto doesn't show notifications (i have made sure all the settings are correct)

I would like to upgrade and get rid of the iphone, is the moto G55 good?

Who here wants to get me a pixel for grapheneos? Kthxbai

I am currently thinking of getting a new Android phone, the ones that sparked my interest are: Samsung S25 Edge, Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL

What would be the best out of these? They are very similar in price and that is why I am comparing them. I am not glued to my screen, so more of a casual user. I like the fact that I can get custom ROMs running easily on the Pixel 9 Pro XL like Graphene in case I want to in the future.
Is the Pixel 10 Pro a big upgrade over the 9?

Is this shit normal? Last time I had an iphone it was like a 5c and I recall the battery life was mid at best but it was only for work purposes meaning it seemed to last long. Stuck abroad for the next 4 months, any tips on keeping the battery life decent or am I going to be forced to get a battery bank?

yes, iPhones have small batteries with optimized standby times so normalfags wont complain. if you do actually do stuff it gets destroyed

>>106390887
iphones have historically always had small batteries you dumb retarded nigger.
the only reason batteryife isn't completely abysmal is because standby times are well optimized (disallowing background services) and normalfags touch grass more so need it less

I gave my little bro my 14 pro max when the 15 pro max dropped. all he does is youtube and pubg, no over heating and the battery health is 95%. poos are lying.

as for banking maybe i should just be like my uncle and use code generator for everything instead

>iphones have background tasks even in standby, shills are lying
many such cases

nta but I worked at a authorized tmobile for over 9 years. no one came to return or replace or ever complain about losing battery life or over heating. on motorolas came back desu the most

just download shizuku and give package manager shizuku permissions and you can delete whatever you want, you don't need to do root at all
(ignore aShell it's for running adb commands on your phone directly, you don't need it, package manager does everything very easily and you can return the apps you deleted if you fucked something up)

looks like you don't know what you are talking about, i used ios devices since 2010-2019 and i know what iam talking about, also you quote yourself retard

>>106388434
>cpu equivalent with samsungs prior model
>gpu is a downgrade from pixels own prior version
What the fuck are they charging for lmao?
Why in the world would anybody buy this pixel 10 pro xl over an s25u?

>>106391682
yes i quoted myself to show the corrections of your wrong information poo. 2019... lol things have changed retard poo.

>>106391653
Nta but you're incorrect

>>106391697
yeah bro but now it has wireless/magnetic charging you don't get the vision?

>>106391669
lockdownd process that handle phone activation still exists on ios

>>106391728
tell me

>>106391748
your ESL is disgusting and I can't take you seriously since you can't construct coherent english sentences.
I told you unlocked iphones have no issue with connecting to apple servers. This is to make stolen or unpaid balance iphones harder to sell.

if no sideloading is it worth to get ios ? I only sideload revanced youtube and youtube music. I heard about trollstore and altstore , are they as good ?

also can I use adblock on firefox on ios ? Can I use lastfm while listening to local files or streaming music through an app ? is the battery life still bad ? I wanna get maybe a 16e or should I wait for the next one ?

>>106391792
you are right i am an esl, but my question is why apple requires activation on their devices and said activation can be revoked remotely and has an expiration date

>>106391830
trollstore required an exploit that was only ios 14 - 17 beta i think, altstore helps you by making apps renewal process easily and on the fly

>>106391830
iphone can sideload revanced youtube and youtube music. you need a dns adguard profile to block ads on browsers. battery life is great.

>>106391840
I told you 3 times it's to make stolen or unpaid balance iphones harder to sell. apple stories get robbed all the time by Jamals.

>>106391880
*stores

>>106391840
you can use rsim to bypass the activation locks too. if you're a real phone expert you would know about rsim.

>>106391860
is altstore good ? any downsides compared to android's ? how easy is it to use ? if you have any good tutorials i'd appreciate it
>>106391861
using altstore ? is it as good as android's ? is the dns lifeguard ad block free or do I need to pay ?

>>106382877 (OP)
https://sailfishos.org
given the recent news about the sideloading, have anyone here tried this? supposedly, made by ex nokia employees.

>>106391937
dns adguard is free and great. youtube has sideloading on iphone tutorials.

>>106391967
It seems like I can use Altstore but it needs to refresh a certificate while I'm on the same wifi every week , is that the only limitation ?

How can I check my battery status, like the current max charge and number of charge cycles without root?

>>106391830
I got an iPhone 16 last Saturday and was able to sideload YouTube and YouTube music, however they expire after 7 days but there's an app call SideStore that supposedly is able to refresh them when they're about to expire (apparently all you need to do is log on their vpn and let the refresh do itself, not sure if I need to be on the same WiFi though)
And for dns it's retarded but you have to download a file then activate a profile for the dns to work because you can't change the dns for mobile data by default (because?? gg apple)

>>106392075
devcheck pro on android.
battery health check profile on ios.

>>106392087
hey former xperia 10 bro, i found this a while ago, it might ease your work a bit
https://sidestore.io/

>>106392119
Fuck 560 charge cycles and capacity is down to 4100mha from 4700mha

>>106392087
that's sick , I didn't expect for sideloading to be decent on apple. I found YTLitePlus and YTMusicUltimate, are you using these ?>>106392217
how different is it from android's sideloading ? I'd rather switch if google makes it a nightmare to sideload and I like revanced too much

>>106392282
nta, ios sideloading has a limit of 7 days unless you buy for an apple dev license which gives you one year or a jailbreak, trollstore (those mean permanent sideloading) happens, which seems unlikely nowadays sadly

Which browser do you use on your phone?

For me it's Firefox + uBlock Origin + Dark Reader + I still don't care about cookies

>>106392439
iceraven + ublock
because it's like liberwolf for android

>>106392184
Yeah that's what I have
My yt and ytm app are expiring in 4 days, hope they'll easily get refreshed and keep working
>>106392282
I'm not sure of the name as I grabbed them from Reddit but the file name are v20.29.3-YoutubePlus_5.2b1.ipa and ytmu_7.33.2.ipa

>>106392395
how do you refresh it ? It seems like from what I found it's just like opening the app again . is it not possible to refresh or what's the limitation?

I boughted a chink phone and I will own something and be happy

>>106382950
MIAD01 has this kino for 400 but it's overall a crude phone. the camera is bad.

>>106392529
this anon will help you
>>106392492

>>106392705
I'm still not sure how this work really, I'll keep you guys informed this weekend if I manage to refresh the apps and how long it takes

>>106392725
i think it works by running an activation server inside the phone itself, which is a decent idea to tell the truth, just like running adb inside termux

Would you recommend the S25 Edge for a casual user that wants a Samsung phablet without the bulk?

I never got an Iphone and I'm motivated to get an iphone after seeing the google disabling third party apps , how good/ bad are iphones now compared to android ? what do I lose / gain from switching ?

>>106392989
iPhone already disabled third party apps

>>106393057
wrong retard, you actually posted this after all the iphone side loading posts. lol!

>>106393090

>>106392989
you are missing nothing with apple as you can pirate stuff, there are emulators now, and webms work now. its just slightly more cumbersome pirating stuff, but its not a big deal. Honestly the 16e is peaking my interest as its dropped in price a ton now $420 used im seeing, but im not in a hurry to update

>>106393158
Not the guy that asked, but I asked earlier.
Why is it a joke, though? It is like 50% off now where I live, and I will just get a battery bank and I can charge at work, home and in my car, so in most situations I should be fine. It is 150 bucks cheaper here than S25+
Alternatively, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a similar price. Is that better?

Recent flagship tier phone with unlocked bootloader and rooting?

>>106393639
please kindly redeem the pooco f7 sir, it is the handset that does the needful making heads turn! All Poower! No bs!

>>106391830
>can I use adblock on firefox on ios ?
no, on ios all browsers are a safari skin

Try Brave on iOS. Brave is superior in my opinion to the other WebKit browsers on iOS because it actually has strong adblocking capabilities, allows 4K YouTube playback, and has a paywall bypass filter built in. None of the other options out there seem to offer this. Not even Safari with an adblocking extension. But essentially yes it is technically just Safari reskinned from what I understand. I don’t know if Brave is working some magic that the other options don’t know about, or is just more willing to implement those features than the competitors. Either way it’s what I use when I’m on iOS.

>>106387560
havin an iphone stopped being a "flex" like 15 years ago

Only someone living in poverty would think a $1,000 phone is a flex or they are possibly one of those poos that believe in a silly caste systems.

>>106391164
Try rooted AOSP or rooted linage.

If a code generator works, sure. Else maybe literally get a second phone. The "convenience" with all manage cloud based data stealing they offer ends up being fucking inconvenient so many times anyhow.

>>106393280
>i can continually charge my device ruining its cycles and also keep a battery bank so my slim device is the normal thickness completely defeating the point
get a phone that you can't kill in a day

In 2027 restrictions will begin to apply to all other regions of the world.

Details:
— The innovation will affect all users of certified devices: they will be able to install only applications from developers who have passed identity verification.;
— So far, the requirements for developers are minimal, but Google can tighten them at any time.

I got the green line of death on my OnePlus 9 Pro...What fuck is this common now on phones?

>>106394379
This phone is what, 5 years old. I've had an S24U for almost 2 years now, which I bought to replace it, lol

>>106394379
phones from 2020 to like 2023 could get green lines from high temperatures, it really easily exposed jeets because they are always gaming in 40c+ ambient temps

Yeah, okay. I'm forced to buy a new one. Mine was totally fine until this. Yeah I read that only India gets free screen replacements kek.

what hype, tablets died years ago and they haven't been popular since

Yt and ytm ipa suddenly force close themselves on ios
I regret getting an iTurd tbdesu

Call me crazy, but I might end up buying the 17 Air. I want a larger screen without all the heft and bulk that comes with it. I'm a casual user, don't care about fancy cameras. As long as the main camera is decent that's fine. The main concerns are obvs battery life and durability. If it can hit 5-6 hrs of SOT that should be enough for me. FYI, I would've got the Plus if it had 120hz but it's not an option this year.

i have pixel 8.5, how do i install a new OS on it?

>>106382877 (OP)
I just want a phone with:
> Removable Battery
> Physical Keyboard
> Good Camera

I can't believe that's so much to ask.

>>106397143
That's because they just downgraded Macs until they were basically iPads, which are just bigger iPod Touches.

>>106398759
>3000mah
fucking yikes dude, remeber that that is at BEST, degradation happens overtime so it will be even more shit. also wear more quickly because youre probably charging all the time

I just bought my S25U and was planning to have it for 5+ years, but google is gonna ruin it in a year or two, what the hell. I hope people find a work-around, the ability to download apks is like half the reason I use android.

It'll suck but it's still better than Apple. I tried iPhone for a week and couldn't get extensions on Firefox mobile. I couldn't set my own ringtone for alarms and stuff without converting an MP3 using that garage band app and even then they limit you to a 30 second MP3 which makes no sense.

Does anyone actually like iOS over Android?

Is the new iPhone going to be any good? Should I just get a Pixel 10 instead

Does anyone have a workaround for google's upcoming restriction on unsigned apps? I know that there will probably be one for rooted smartphones but sadly new rootable models tend to lack a lot of features that I use daily like a headphone jack. I really dont want to get myself a dumbphone but I will probably have to if there will be no bypass. Thanks in advance!

>>106399453
Don't do that, it's to protect your phone so you don't get malware

my android flip control location when i rotate the screen
how can i stop it from doing it

>>106399466
I dont want anyone to tell me what kind of apps I can install on my phone. This was done mostly to stop people from using 3rd party clients for stuff like youtube, telegram and so on. Security was only excuse here to allow google to boss people around.

>>106399493
You don't need 3rd party apps for Youtube. If you subscribe to Youtube Premium you can get an ad free experience on the official app

>>106399486

Same question, I'm getting an EU Pixel so I actually still get to use physical SIM but I'm planning on just transferring it to eSIM and never opening that tray.

>>106398976
I don't really hold onto phones long enough to care about degradation. If it's that bad, I'll get the regular 17. I'm just sick of thick, heavy phones.

Will I get fucked by the new announcement with only signed Apps on Android if I get a new Samsung phone? I like my Apps from F-Droid.
Should I go for a Pixel 9 Pro just to be able to install custom ROMs?

>>106401604
Slightly above what I'd like to pay for chinesium.
the note 14 pro has 5500 mAmp battery the global model would never be 7000 mAmp.
So the gain in battery life would be slightly better and the new SoC would use more power anyway.
>>106401600
200 MP is better than 50 MP.
So you should use better camera software
