it's preferred to buy phones with unlockable bootloaders and lineage os support

it's preferred to bruteforce xiaomi unlocking with a xda script

The truth about smartphones will always be posted using reputable sources and not just unsubstantiated claims, deal with it. If you didn't lie we wouldn't be here. Nothing you trolls can ever say matters to me. Uneducated anons itt post misinformation. They don't even confirm the lies that they post.

Apple and Samsung Won.

Why the iPhone hate? You're instigating flamewars OP.

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.

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

Apple and Samsung Won Again.
Now that google is locking down its operating system I'm predicting that iphone sales are going to skyrocket exponentially.

Poco phones are blowing up. Latest incident was in Russia.

iPhone will be the only option for side loading until the EU passes laws that forces Google to do what Apple had to do.

Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 / Dimensity 6500 / Exynos 1630 waiting room. Seriously niggers, just when you're starting to hit your stride on your mid range SOCs, you stop making budget ones altogether?

Gonna ask again here, my mom has restarted her A16 5G multiple times but her screen freezes. Is A36 a good upgrade for her? She only complains about apps being slow (processor power sucks probably on A16). Any tips? I'd like a phone that will work for at least 3+ years for her. She bought a samsung fitbit 3 or something and she likes the ecosystem

>>106473739
Yes, the A36 will be a good upgrade for her.

>>106473743
Just kinda scared it will fail on her like the A16 which she bought in January as a sort of "immediate-need" phone when her Iphone got destroyed

Another Loli Edition smartphone general...

Is active updates still essential if you barely use your phone? I don't browse the web and only want this for messaging apps. I also intend to install a custom OS on this. This phone seems pretty much everything I'm looking for including a headphone jack but that's the one thing that's making me hesitant on purchasing.

>>106473692
So all phones in EU won't be allowed to side load?

>>106473968
ignore that retard, apple app installation thing is way before the eu law, also it's not clear what google is going to actually do, so it's very hard to make assumptions based on the vague info we have.

>>106473968
yes and ignore the misinformed

>>106473968
>>106474021
+ apple installation is very limited and you have to reactivate your apps every 7 days using a server or they will stop working

>>106474021
It's mostly clear what Google is going to do if you know typical practices for DRM, because that is what this resembles. When you try to install something not from their store, the OS will likely phone out to check if the apk is signed as developed by an approved developer and blocks the install if its not. Basically you will need a different, modified version of Android to use apks not from devs approved by Google. Enjoy slavery.

>>106473756
>Iphone
so she has money, just make her get the a56

>>106474064
she has basically zero money and my dad doesn't want to give her some, i might have to chip in for the a36 too

>>106474073
The Moto G Power 2024 is a better phone than the A36 and for cheaper. The only downside is lesser updates.

>>106474082
Updates are actually a bad thing as you would know if this was /PC Gen/ and which you will know once Google locks down Android

redmi note 14 won against the samsung a16
7:27 for the most based take

>>106474082
I had to give her a 10 day lecture about why a16 was better than spending all her money on the newest iphone so she could have enough to eat, i could never get her to buy anything else than samsung or iphone

>>106474126
This post reeks of American

>>106474126
just eat less and buy iphone

>>106474126
samsung

>>106474126
motorola is not reliable

>>106474167
Can you do one with A36 and A16? Is it even a considerable upgrade?

>>106473945
I have a pocket titan and i love it. I will say keyboard is only like 7/10

>>106474183
The comparison isn't even one being made in good faith, because the 12GB RAM version of the A36 isn't sold in America. If you buy your mom the A36, it will likely have 6GB of RAM

Samsung A54 was an L purchase for me. Thought it had a great 50MP camera, till I realized the poor tier chipset struggles to encode it and poorfags don't get to shoot RAW HDR (IMX766 is both). Then Samsung pushes all their stupid little updates. No bootloader unlock. No USB 3.0. All I get is a slow phone that closes apps because apparently 6GB of RAM is nothing. Last MicroSD phone worth mentioning from Samsung.

I remember when my phone had 100mb of RAM and I played my little Java midlets and played music over bluetooth. Can't even do that these days without audio cuts. It was also a Samsung circa 2010. Before Samdroid. They've never had good software. I'm not even in a bad mood, but I have no good regards left for Samcrap.

Is Xioami the future, for high res cameras (I need it specifically) and MicroSD expansion? That's legit my only two requirements ever. 50MP or more with a pixel size greater than 1μm. Do I need to mention microsd again btw? microsd is the future, the holy grail, the bee's knees, the goat, jesus and mohammed. I will design my own phone

>>106474183
order the 12gb version from ebay. ignore gsmarena.

>>106474126
based anon, try to get her something with 8gb of ram

>Idk if your camera is glitching or you lied about going outside and it's a reflection or you added a filter etc. Why are stars showing in the railing?

What in the fuck

>>106474302
I have never bought a single phone anywhere that isn't Ebay. And never will

imagine buying used phones...

>>106474335
Why would you trust some random guy on ebay to not root your phone and add a bunch of spyware?

I will never buy a new phone. Ever

>>106474394
Nigga the two phones in the picture are Chinese. I'm being spied on by Xi and Google at the same time.

>>106474397
Phones dont last forever. When your phone fails you will have to buy a new one. And then you will be welcomed into Google's walled garden, where you pay $24.99 a month to get what you could get for free now.

imagine not being able to pay a minuscule $25 a month for features you like and use on a smartphone

>>106474443
Now multiply that 30 times for every facet of your life including being able to drive over 30 mph

>>106474491
That’s not even an intelligent reply, because that would never happen.

>>106474394
even with how scary that is, it's cool if some chang did that to me

>>106474503
It's already been trialed and car sites are already being paid to shill subscription models, no matter how much current consumers try to push back like with the BMW heated seats debacle. The "younger generation" will be brainwashed into accepting such things and you will eventually have no choice since subscription models are more profitable. So if you think subs are going to only be for a few areas in the future, you are sadly very mistaken. All industries will look for ways to maximize profit and this is a very good one.

>>106474208
Sure. Is LineageOS possible to install in it? What's the best OS in-terms of accessibility and privacy? As long as the physical keyboard doesn't have intense latency I'll probably get used to it.

>>106474645
Extremely low amounts of vehicles have subscription services like this. If you buy a BMW $50 a month is nothing. Thank Jesus I can afford iCloud+ and I received a year of free Google cloud storage with my pixel 9 pro xl and a year of free Gemini ai too, but after I’ll keep paying for it. $100 a month is light work for subscription services. Functional adults aren’t going bankrupt for this.

>>106475272
Keep being a frog in a pot, anon, keep trying to rationalize that it won't be coming to every vehicle. First they came for the BMWs and I did not speak out because I was not a BMW owner, then they came for the Hyundais and I did not speak out because I was not a Hyundai owner. Then they came for the Chevy owners and there was no one left to speak out for me.

why do we have 2 spg threads?

>>106474208
Kind of disappointing that it has a touch screen but I guess it's the cost of having phone apps actually be available. The QWERTY keyboard is nice but was hoping to have something that forces me away from using it as anything outside of texting. Still seems to be the best thing in the market.

Which iphone models are made in india?Would it be unwise to buy an iphone now? Im in dire need of an upgrade

>>106476464

I don't know either! :c

>>106474645

thats nice to see

even low intelligence youth can guess if you need car ac on just to check update progress what you should be using while parked

please learn english, you are making no sense. this is a smartphone general, use a translator app on your phone.

Theres two of these now, good job morons

>have to restart phone to disable developer mode now
since when
is this hyperOS faggotry or is every android like that now

>>106471227
bro I got 4 of them

This seems like the best phone for what I'm looking for since LineageOS seems compatible. Any things/competitors I should know about or should I just make the purchase?

Is Gcam really better than the stock motorola camera?

>>106477497
it doesn't exactly support lineage os, it supports barebones android, which seems that it's painful to get the physical keyboard to work on it, just rooting the stock rom is enough

OnePlus won!!!

It's important to read the reviews of people who actually owned the phone.

>>106476654
Which smartphone do you have?

>post benchmarks and reviews from Versus and NanoReview
>expose all lies posted and expose misinformation
>call out liars for pushing stuff only scammers would call the "best"
>Post multiple flagships and vehicles the angry lying anons can't afford
>watch the poos and poverty stricken start to sperg
>remind anons the base model iPhone 15 & 16 outsell Androids budget and flagship devices globally every year
>remind sirs they owe the USA 50% tariffs

Anyone who says Versus or NanoReview is wrong is the problem. These liars are just trying to feel better about their lower quality budget friendly mid tier device and refuse to accept the facts.
No amount of lies will stop us from making this general great again. We will call out false statements and not let scammers trick people into thinking a lower quality branded device for $400 could ever match a $1,200 flagship by Apple, Samsung or Google. Don’t give the people (YOU)s. 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, another thing impoverished lying anons cant afford. Such low IQ attacks.

>Flagship performance sir!

A Galaxy S24 FE soc beat a poco F7!

Tech blogging websites and reviews are the best way to tell if a smartphone brand is good or not.

Benchmark comparison results are also a great way to decipher the differences between devices.

S25 Ultra has the better camera and is a way better quality build device.

ah great he's spamming this one too awesome. goodbye spg

posting about phones in the smartphone general is not spam. you just don't like certain phones. idc.

If there's literally any other OS that provides security update and gets rid of Google spyware though I'll feel comfortable with the purchase.

Give me a phone with an e-mount ring. Do it. Make the metal camera ring MEAN something you cowards

Hopefully this leak is true about the S26 Ultra camera upgrade. This same leaker was right about the s24 and s25 models earlier.

>>106477775
>>106478175
Never mind I looked into what you are talking about and you were talking about removing Google services without switching OS which is enough. Is there a guide that's retard proof? If I buy from the official site I imagine I should have no problem being able to go to development mode. (I know a ton of carriers in the US block it but I imagine that's a carrier thing only)

>>106478692
>>106477497
Not being waterproof is kind of an issue for me since I tend to take my phone in the shower but it seems almost impossible to find the og Titan which seems to be the only waterproof one.

Might as well change the general's name to pocketable camera general at this rate.

>>106477775
Went ahead and bought one. Waterproof isn't that big of a deal as long as it can survive some decent rain and I heard that the Titan Pocket and significantly easier to hold and more importantly $150 cheaper.

>>106478624
You'd think Sony would do that to their Xperia phones but there's basically no collaboration between the different divisions of Sony
And seemingly Sony Music/Aniplex hates Playstation since they published a Fate game for the Switch & PC but not for Playstation kek

The ultimate combo is a dumbphone and a Ricoh GR IV

>>106479946
One device full of compromises

All current Android phones are shit.
Also wtf is that shit about verified devs only being eligible for having their apps side loaded?

>>106479504
i am happy for you anon, hope it satisfies your needs

not sure where to post this I'm not a re/g/ular but didn't seem worth its own thread

my old phone crapped out so I bought a refurbished one to get by. motorola g15.
what the fuck is this notification that keeps coming up about? I cannot disable it, I cannot remove the app that causes it (even though I have disabled the battery saving options on it, it keeps sending me notifactions. Why?)

and most frustrating of all is this doesn't seem to be a common issue. when I google it there are basically no results with this exact issue

any ideas on what to do

>>106480026
we love xiaomi here

>>106481081
no only the impoverished do

>>106478014
But are you Indian though?

>>106481385
Nope, are you? Also why are you talking about them? This is a smartphone general.

>>106481018
bro bought a used phone loooolll make sure you lock your doors at night lil pup

>>106481018
go to notification settings and go to it's app info to get it's package name then use package manager with shizuku and just delete it

Has there been any updates on that chinky BlackBerry?
