They haven't been released yet, will probably allow it on global and not allow on chinese (tho you'll still be able to pay a chinaman from some repair shop for remote unlocking).
The real problem is getting custom ROMs because even OP13 only has a single aosp fork 9 months later

I don't use reddit much, but the quality seems quite subpar than what I see when I visit the frontpage to see what's going viral. It looks like a bunch of kids who barely speak English throwing shit at each other over nothing at the same time that they congratulate themselves for their mighty acquisition.

Also lots of problematic devices, but given 70-80% of the sub seems to be gamers, what the fuck do they expect? Heat is the number one enemy of smartphones along with falls. Of course your phone will be full of hiccups and with a faulty battery after a long year or so of charge and discharge cycles, often to 0-5% while running like a hot stove and fusing little suns inside its case.

Why the FUCK is it 2025 and android phones still have not improved their awful notification bar? This wasn't a big deal 10 years ago when phones were small, but now it's so retarded.
On pixel in particular it's so annoying how you have to reach the top of the screen and tap the wifi or bluetooth symbol TWICE just to activate it. Meanwhile on iphones every important button is easily reachable with one hand and activated with one tap.
Such a small yet increasingly annoying detail the more I use this garbage. Android is so done man. Once they roll out the sideloading ban I will 100% switch to iphone

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.

Yeah who needs an SSD in your PC when hard drives are cheaper. Why get a good processor that can load things faster when I can just wait.
Gaming is not the only reason to want a decent phone. You're happy with poverty level performance for FIVE HUNDRED EUROS and that's fine for you. Guess since you don't game your have lots of time to waste waiting for apps to load and then reload from lack of RAM.

If it's the same story with android and you need adb for every single install, there's no point. Might as well get a poopjeet manufactured iphone since every single phone manufacturer is just another apple wannabe anyway

The only benefit from the iOS versions of these modded apps is that they're not as well known so they don't get patched as often, if at all. Though YTMusic Revanced I haven't had to patch in months, the whole Spotify crackdown on xmanager from this year was avoided on the iOS side iirc
Other than that you have to deal with this bullshit
>>106546808 where you have to self-host a server on your local network like altstore to auto-refresh the 7 day limit.

The only games that really need high performance chips are Hoyoverse garbage, with some unknown exceptions like ARK mobile.
Everything else can run just fine on mid-tier phones. people forget phone games are free and they make their money of microtransactions, skin selling, and waling. You need your game to reach as many people as possible if it's mobile. If you make it so that your game can only run on the latest Snapdragon/Dimensity/Apple chip is just gonna hurt you. No, you make it so it can run fine on sub $300 prepaid phone garbage.
In short: Only Genshin Impact players who are too stupid to figure out that game runs much much much better on PC are the only ones who care about phone chip performance. Everyone else can do just fine with mid-tier chips.

That's because, as a basic rule of thumb, emulation consumes about 4 times more resources than it would take to run the game natively. If they remade the game you want to play into an APK it would run just fine on your mid-tier phone.

Bitch please, I've been here since way before Leddit became an insult. I'm talking about smartphone games, you're the one who brought emulation as a movement of the goalposts.
You wanna enjoy your Supah Mario Sunshine or Twilight Princess, or Final fantasy 12 or whatever games on your phone? that's fine, go have fun with them, I'm not even being butthurt or sarcastic about it. But my point is about Smartphone games. Not about emulation.
Absolutely fucking no one is making Crysis for smartphones, instead they're all making 100+ ripoffs of subway surfers. Games that run everywhere, all so they can sell you premium currency. if you have something to say about that we can debate, just as long as you're not gonna move the goalposts again into some other thing

You must be a little kid. That chart is for Brands not OS. Naturally Android has the most devices sold, because SO MANY companies make very CHEAP android phones. Apple is the only one making iOS devices and still out sells multiple brands. Saying more android phones are in the market is not how you win this argument since so many companies make androids and you can get one new for $200-$300 whereas iPhones start at $799.
The facts still stand Apple out sells android brands. You can't group the companies together for brands, but you can for OS. This is flawed though since android is popular amongst the ultra impoverished and will naturally sell more devices with that OS.
Apple is worth over $3 trillion. That is worth more than some nations entire gdp and stock markets combined. No cellphone company has the power of Apple. Kek.

Because smartphone brands other than Apple use Android as their OS, so "Android phones" is the umbrella term for smartphones not made by Apple, if you weren't ESL you would be able to understand such a simple concept.
I want to upgrade from my Pixel 6a this year. Should I go with Galaxy S25 or iPhone 17?

Are you in the EU? Apple Sideloading is STILL going to be more painful than Android even after Google requires dev identification. Apple already requires this...even in the EU. They also revoke accounts from devs making apps they don't like.
Better than Pixel? In terms of SoC power, absolutely. Better than a phone with the 8 Elite? Maybe a little. But you can't even properly emulate GameCube/Wii with Dolphin (requires tethering to a computer running AltStore on it to enable a debug flag EVERY TIME you want to launch the app). So that power is kind of wasted.
At the end of the day, iPhone is for people who don't want to have to think about stuff like truly customizing their home screen, because no custom launchers exist to replace SpringBoard. Android is and will continue to be more flexible while iPhone is for females and boomers who don't want customize basically anything.

that's the thing.
if they are effectively killing sideloading, then all android has left is emulation among other niche things.
there is absolutely 0 (ZERO) reason to get a pixel over an iphone. especially that google still can't get their shit together after switching to tsmc and somehow shit out new trash that is somehow worse than their previous garbage.
>>106552214
for general usage, safari and other (webkit) browsers like edge has extensions to bypass ads and whatnot.
your argument of emulation is indeed one of the few remaining things that android has over ios. though they are niche, but still amazing features.
that aside, iphone just werks™ most of the time.
i'm kinda curious how the new c1x modem performs and how efficient it is.

protip, dunk the bottom in some 99% isopropyl and move it around. It’s an abrasive liquid that cleans way better than water and dries fast in air, so no short circuits.
after you take it out it’s airdried in like 2 mins and way more clean than water could get it. It’s people cleaning their grimy phones with water that kills it.

The iPhone is a status symbol isn't it. People don't want to feel left out. They don't want to be judged for having green text bubbles. I guess it's similar to iPods in the 2000s.

It is subjective but I think it's fair to say that iOS has a better overall user experience just in the animations and the smoothness of how everything moves around. I have a Pixel 9 and an iPhone and the iPhone really is nicer to use and feels a lot more premium than the Pixel which is much more utilitarian in how it functions.

AI is a bit gimmicky at the moment. If it ever does reach its potential and you can actually do useful things with it then I think they'll just licence out Gemini or ChatGPT. The Pixel 10s Magic Cue does seem like a step toward it being genuinely handy in every day use though
What launcher are you guys using? I was using Pie Launcher for a while, I liked the minimalism but it was a bit TOO minimal. Niagara is ok but feels limiting.
Kvaesitso has rapidly improved since the last time I used it and I'm really enjoying it. The fact that it is free as in freedom AND beer is the cherry on top.

Smart Launcher is great. Definitely one of my favorite ones. I own the Pro version, interested to see what they do with the next version. They also make Icon Pack Studio which is absolutely worth installing/buying. I use the exported icon pack with basically all launchers.
Square Home is also very good especially if you are nostalgic for Windows Phone.

Not much different from having to manually install non-playstore apps on Android whenever there is an update, like on f-droid for example. And no rooting is not a viable solution since basically anything banking related breaks without hacky workarounds that can break at any time,

i hate ios and ios shills, but i agree that most of the locked down things are gone
for webm and 4chan you have chance and ichan
for pirating you have itorrent
for emulation you can download emus from the store now (but it's recommend that you sideload them to install them with JIT enabled which gives you the full potential of the device power)
and for the sideloading bullshit you can use sidestore to run an activation server inside your phone, if you are okay with having to activate your apps every 7 days, it still feels limiting but if you are okay with it, then why not ?

Oh? You can emulate GameCube and PS2?
Well, you can, but you have to tether to a computer running AltStore not once, but EVERY TIME you launch the app to enable the JiT Compilation debug flag.
How convenient.
As for piracy, enjoy your malware lmao. Imagine being too poor to legitimately download an app lmao.

You didn't see the notification that says "USB for charging" where you can switch to tethering or file transfer? Works on my Samsung. Probably a messed up port?

It popped up on the other two smartphones I tried.
The only things I could click brought me specifically to the charging settings and I think the pull down screen customization.
Apparently another relative also has a similar problem with their Samsung A15 and allegedly both happened after the update, I assume that one also got One UI 7.
How would I even check the port? The main thing is that she technically has the means to get the pictures out so whatever.

Any Poco X7 Pro owner that had a X3 Pro here? How's the X7 compared to the X3?, is the software better or worse?
I recently noticed my current smartphone wont receive any security updates anymore. On my old one I used LineageOS after rooting it for some time but there the integrity checks would fail eventually due to the root preventing me from using payment based apps. My current one doesn't seem to require rooting for a custom ROM anymore but LineageOS mentions the integrity checks would still fail. Is this the case for all non-stock ROMs?

All non-Google ROMs, LineageOS, GrapheneOS, e/OS/, etc. It used to be called SafetyNet but is now called Play Integrity.
You can root and try and circumvent the checks but it is a cat and mouse game, and can stop working at any time, if you can get it working at all.

Yeah unfortunately Android OEMs treated phones like they were meant to be trashed after two years. Lately, Samsung and Google have really pushed for long periods of software and security updates. 7 years on the S25 series and Pixel 10 lineup.
Other manufacturers are slacking, especially Sony.

I got my current smartphone on release 4 years ago. Its hardware would be sufficient for me and it works great after all this years but I'm too paranoid to trust android without security updates. I'm surprised they allow this in the EU when they keep complaining we have to produce less trash.
>especially Sony.
Doing a quick check on gsmarena the current sony flagship was the first result. They mention four major Android versions but that's it.
What's the appeal of big phones? Why is 6.7 the standard?
They're bulky, unwieldy, fall out of your pocket, you need a freakishly long thumb to comfortably use them one handed, even ignoring if you put a case on it, which only adds the the bulkiness

In the default apps settings there's no option to choose some other app, there's one for music/video/webbrowser but not for a file manager. It's driving me nuts.

Desktop computers are for work. Video/Audio/Image editing, office documents, programming, app development, emails, and so on. A phone is (or should be) for making calls, sending messages and banking stuff, why the fuck do you need 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage to do that?? all you do is post numbers that mean nothing in the real world, just so you can claim your chinese phone scores higher than anon's other chinese phone.

Even the poorest brownest man in the country can buy a phone by taking a loan or working a week at Mcdonalds. Why does this general even exist, is just pure shitposting (without the fun part) and circlejerking on giant fucking plastic bricks.
