A36 good? How long will it realistically last?

lmao I think Google dethroned Xperia even with their turd this year.

>>106494440
Get a Nothing Phone 3a instead. That Samsung will probably last long enough, but its CPU is weak even tofay, let alone in 3-4 years from now.

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.

>>106494789
Im not copping about anything, a lot of us here don’t use our phones for anything intensive which is why we ask for what the best budget model is

>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.

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

Own an X90P+ and confirm Vivo's astrophotography mode is AI bullshit. Pro, Auto and Night Mode don't have the AI processing to my knowledge.

Very original, Scamsung.

Read the camera section on that website

At least they're honest, kek

I watched this like 50 times in the last year. blackberry phones. I never watch other movies.

OnePlus won!!

>>106496341
lol no

I think I'll sell the S25 Ultra I bought earlier in the year. It's unironically too good of a phone. I use it too much and waste too much time on it

>>106496341
You silly little spammer!

>>106496838
As if you don’t spam too

>>106496976
Nope! :3

Now explain why OnePlus "won". c:

Sony lost

What color are you guys going for your 17 Pro? I'm kind of thinking to go for the orange for something different but it might not go well with a lot of cases. Black is the safe pick, but I might grab the blue instead if it's similar to the Ultramarine color of the 16

>>106497523
orange pro max is kino

>>106494368 (OP)
I have quite a few phones I want to sell, and on one, I accidentally factory reset it without removing my google account from it. In trying to re-login to the phone, it always throws up an "Unknown error, please try again in 24hr" message, and it's been doing this for weeks. PIc related.
Is there any trick to get sign in to work properly? I've attempted to factory reset again and tried FRP bypasses, but those don't seem to work.
And before I get the "give it back, Jamal" I do e-cycling and refurb and resell devices that are still perfectly good. It has been logged into a gmail account I have personal access to and use for setting up and testing devices. I'm not trying to bypass FRP if I don't have to, if there's a way to get login to work, i'll gladly try it.

the phone in question is a Moto Z Play XT1635.

>>106497531
I like how bright it is, I might not have considered it if it was the dully coppery orange before but the brightness makes it very tempting. More phones need to come in bright colors, Apple made their name by offering products in different colors

>>106494921
That or if it's white dots on a long exposure, could be hot pixels. Happens often with long exposure shots, even with proper mirrorless or DSLR's. Given the phone is chinesium, either is possible.

>>106497610
the anon who took the pic said it was not long exposure. its ai slop. smartphones that fake pictures are not good. the 100x zoom is fake in many too. oic rel is a astro mode galaxy s25 ultra with the options it was on with no edit pic can be easily found.

>>106497548
return it to the owner

>>106494921
why take a screenshot of a picture ? can't you just save it ?

>>106497785
wanted to show i didnt edit it

>>106497670
did you not read the part that says " It has been logged into a gmail account I have personal access to and use for setting up and testing devices."

The previous account that it's requiring to sign in is my own account that I have access to, refuses to log in. The phone was previously setup without a google account on it, so there is no previous owner account that was ever on it other than my own.

ugh, bring me back to the days of the lumia 1020
limited image processing my beloved

why are phones so big now? i want an iphone that looks just like a ipod touch 5th-7th gen.

even the SE3 is huge compared to the ipod touch

Google Lost

>>106497813
>Curving the edges more
Why? The rectangular boxy design was their brand. I think it looks better than the iPhone and it makes better use of the screen. Why have rounded edges except to please cucks who complain it hurts their hand to hold it

>>106497858
Because people use their phones primarily for browsing the internet and watching videos instead of calling people now so a bigger screen means its easier to read and watch things on it

>>106497924
>>106497858
More importantly, I don't have woman thumbs, so I can't text message on a tiny phone

>>106497610
It was a 4 second exposure and those stray dots are sharpened sensor noise. Stars are fixed patterns and cannot be AI generated. You can see vega and the tail end of ursa major in the pic. Not to mention that this was shot in pro mode which means there's no AI involved. Kind of honored that the pic lives rent free in schizo janny's gallery. He banned my IP twice for vague reasons after my posts

yes and they always say that lol

>>106498466
They arrived at my country and are offering 5 years warranty. Here's their strategy: the phone has a SD7GEN3, UFS 2.2 and it costs $800.

All phones look the same, do the same and are the same
The Pixel is the only one that offers a new experience = Google won

>want good latest phone
>too poor

My old buds finally died on me. Decided to get some Galaxy buds, and it feels like night and day. It's kinda nuts that these tiny little things have so many features.

The new camera island on the s26 ultra is ugly as sin. At least they should put all lenses on it. Now it just looks mismatched

Hard cope. No facts given just incorrectly pushing opinions as facts.

Forgive me for I have sinned
I caved in and got an iPhone

Imagine saying a S20 Ultra is better.
A 5 year old phone.

>>106500649
Why do the impoverished post their silly lies itt all the time?

Curious to see if the 17 Air will be the bust that it's predicted to be. I don't know who the market is for? Size-queens don't care about the heft and bulk of Pro Max models. They keep all their shit in handbags. Also, women won't downgrade to one camera status.

>>106500850
I don’t get it either. I think it’s for tech enthusiasts who’d like to see how thin of a phone can be made and that’s it. Normal people don’t give a shit and either just want any iPhone at all or the latest and greatest if they can afford it.

>>106500376
/e/OS already installed
now i can enjoy my phone

>>106500850
I'm happier they're making the Pro a bit thicker. Phones have gotten so thin they're hard to grip now.

>>106500945
Doesn’t that mean thicker batteries too? That makes me hard

whats the cheapest phone with the longest software support ratio?

>>106500960
Yes extra battery life too. Nobody wants a thinner phone, they're already thin enough. You're not even going to be hold the Air properly without a case on it so I don't see the point of it. Plus if you drop the thing it will almost certainly break
