poco f5 top

How can I purchase a Pocophone while not running the risk of anyone I know finding the /r/Pocophone community and concluding this phone is for absolute the lowest of vermins?

>>106545427
Is it really worse that any other söyddit sub?

>>106545401 (OP)
>OnePlus 15 edition
do these have unlockable bootloader?

>>106545427
any phone with cult following in india will have shitty subreddit

>>106545460
Yes.

>>106545460
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

>>106545459
>Is it really worse that any other söyddit sub?
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.

oneplus 12 has lineage

Can we stop giving money to these Chinese phone makers. Buy American or Korean. Also stop being poor.

>>106545493
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.

>>106545507
still no audio jack. and back looks like a barf

The orange iPhone looks so cool, really tempted to use it without a phone condom just so I can see the color

>>106545528
Which phones are manufactured in the USA?

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

Oneplus won
Pixel lost

When are we gonna get more 3-4 inch phones? Love my Jelly Star (which I both bought because I loved my Xperia Tipo from 13 years ago) but it's a shame that nobody else is doing it

>>106545661
LOL no.

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.

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

i bet i could shove this watch so far up your ass

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.

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

Yall arguing who has the best phone, I got 5g in my brain anons. I’m levels ahead of your devices. My brain is the smartphone.

Brain Implants Won.

>>106545808
Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan I think? So again you'd be avoiding China

>>106545831

Sony is low quality

Xperia is best sirs!

>>106545799
>assembled in Europe from Chinese and Taiwanese parts
Wow they put the final screw in at a site in the EU! MADE IN EUROPE.

Plus that phone is made from a 4 year old processor that was already midrange when it came out. Why would I downgrade?

I still don't know why sony ditched the 4k screen and notification led.

Redmagic best sirs!

>>106545858
>Snapdragon 8 Elite
Great CPU, do you have a Samsung S25 then? Good phone

I'm just saying that there is an option for a phone made in Europe

I don't think Snapdragons are made in China

>>106545858
who fucking cares about phone performance this is hilarious lmao there's no fucking reason to care about small differences in performance, it's fucking irrelevant outside of benchmarking people gone crazy I swear

OnePlus best sirs!

>>106545868
The 4k screen probably eats up battery life

>>106545894
If you want to run games on your phone then performance can matter. But to be honest gaming is a waste of time.

The S25 Ultra has acbetter camera and is a way better quality built device.

https://www.phonearena.com/news/galaxy-s25-camera_id163811

L M A O

>>106545910
well yeah ok gaming is another use case where performance does matter but ... who fckin plays games on their phones lol I mean apart from literal children

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

>>106545901
do they really have to go all the way to 1080p because of that?
so dumb

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

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

>>106545961
The S25 looks good because it's not too big and I think it's got the most powerful SoC of any Android phone

GSMArena picked the iPhone 16 Pro Max for best battery life. OP you lost.

Introducing the iphone 18 pro

>>106545933
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.

yeah well gsmarena is run by seanigs checkmate

>>106546234
They're based in Sofia, Bulgaria, so it's not surprising many of their names are Slavic

OnePlus won!!

I want 5g service so bad bros. What I have to do.

Is it true Android 16 won't allow side loading anymore? Are there any options?
Because if I can't even sideload I don't see the point of getting Android phones

>>106546345
the restriction will be carried over to phones with google services
nothing to do with android 16

>>106546360
What's the difference? Doesn't every single android comes with Google services?

Convince me not to get the airpods pro 3

do we like the new iphone even if it's an indian product now

>>106546385
No it's shit and probably the shittest phone I've used but I have one and I may as try out the ecosystem of devices

I kind of want to move over to Apple with how good the hardware is now but is there something similar to revanced Youtube and YTmusic on the IOS? I don't want to pay for premium and I don't want to sit through an ad

If you know how to use ADB to install APK's then it's not an issue. Yes, you'll need a separate PC but it's something we all have right? So rejoice anons; we can still "sideload" (fucking hate that term. What are we, LGB&QBBGBBCTRANSISTOR+/- Apple faggots) our favourite FOSS whilst the normal folk are locked out of the party. Well done Google.

>>106546375
yeah, android 6 and above devices that have google mobile services installed will have to suffer blocked app installing from unverified developers
if you want to install unverified apps you will have to use adb install or shizuku

>>106546424
install shizuku through adb, enable wireless debugging, set up shizuku, install https://github.com/zacharee/InstallWithOptions/releases/tag/0.8.1 and give it permissions
congratulations, your phone now can install whatever shit you want

>>106546446
Indeed. Well done sir.

>>106546419
bro i hear apple has adaptive fresh rate that goes from 1hz - 120hz, shitty androids only have 120hz or 60hz, that kinda makes me want to awitch

or Eevee Spotify if that doesn't work and you don't mind switching to Spotify
You will learn how retarded their sideloading process though, didn't like it personally but that's just how it is.

finna getting an iphone this year

Thoughts about OnePlus Nord CE5? What are the best budget phones?

Also, which one is best, OneUI, HyperOS, OxygenOS or Nothing OS?

Okay, so I bought a Samsung Galaxy A26, and for now I still have the option to unlock the bootloader (One UI 7), but this option will be removed after updating.
Should I unlock it now? It’s a new phone, and from what I understand, unlocking the bootloader means losing the warranty in case something goes wrong.
I want to recive all security updates that are provided by samsung

why would anyone ever consider buying the iPhone Air when you can either pay a little bit more for the 17 Pro Max or pay less for last year's iPhone 16 Pro Max or just accept the smaller form factor that is the base iPhone 17
fuck them for gimping the base Plus model for the sake of thin shit

>>106546424
what's the difference with Apple? I'm in the EU, and Apple has been forced to allow "side loads", but you need a separate PC.
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
God I hate smartphones, they're beyond cucked

>>106546622
would you say the hassle is worth it? or should I just stick to Android?

>>106546740
ios pc "sideloading" with 7 days limit was allowed way before the eu law, btw said law didn't do shit, at first i though it will allow normal installation like on android, but it did nothing absolutely nothing

>>106546808
It did do something, it's just very inconvenient to use side store sideloading which is why nobody does it.

>>106546714
>OnePlus Nord CE5
looking at the specs, i think it's a good phone + the sd card slot is a nice thing to have
>Also, which one is best
HyperOS is bloated
ONEUI is bloated with nice features but still bloated
OxygenOS is close to stock
NothingOS is close to stock

>>106546853
what did it do ? allow people to have third party stores ? still requires a dev account

>>106546793
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.
I wouldn't make it as "the reason to get an iPhone" it's more so how to cope with having one.

just bought an used OnePlus 11 for 220€ without even checking prices, did i do good

>>106546620
aieeeee i should have gotten the p10 pro instead of the p10, oh well just another 2 years til i can upgrade again

>>106546888
i am sad that the guy (the trollstore dev) who said he found a jailbreak for ios 18, got a job offer from an Israelin """"""security company""""" and stopped giving updates about it

>>106546895
no bro think of how many times that guy probably used it to fap he probably came all over that phone like 1000 times and there's dried cum in very nook and cranny of that phone now

>>106546973
easy anon should just dip it in IPA

>>106545655
Remove the internet toggle and add the individual Wi-Fi and cellular buttons
>>106546424
That’s not the problem with the new rules you idiot. They will require DEVELOPERS to validate their apps with an account. Do you think the people who make pirate apps like the Vanced crap will 1) sign up for it 2) get approval?
>>106546419
If you care about music in the current year you either stop being poor and sign up for a subscription service or download all your music and listen locally.

>>106547021
>Remove the internet toggle and add the individual Wi-Fi and cellular buttons
NTA, i used better internet tiles with shizuku and for some reason my cellular stopped working, i had to uninstall it and reset my network settings

>>106547118
Why would you need shizuku to edit the tiles when there’s an «edit» button right there at the bottom

>>106546725
>bootloader means losing the warranty
Cost of freedom. You can always relock before giving it for warranty work. IDK how easy or feasible it is these days. It is the cost of freedom. You'll still receive updates if you unlock the bootloader. Why unlock it in the first place if I may ask?

>>106546887
It doesn't

>>106547154
because google removed separate wifi and cellular tiles and i am stuck with their shitty Internet tile, better internet tiles fix that with root and shizuku but with shizuku it's a bit broken

>>106547213
what doesn't ? third party store ?

>>106547216
Huh maybe I’m getting things mixed up but on lineageos 22 I had the option to add the separate cellular and Wi-Fi buttons. I shouldn’t have assumed that that was the default for stock android, my bad.

>>106547387
yes stock android sucks, i will wait until my phone supports lineage os

>>106546869
It doesn't have stereo speakers though, would you say its the best budget phone overall?

>>106547429
i missed that, well only get it if you care about the sd slot other than that you have far better alternatives

>>106547546
>you have far better alternatives
for example... ?

My idiotic question(request for assistance)
Am installing shizuku on my phone to delece factory installed bloat(office suite)
but i cant get shizuku running.
Got S8 with androind 9 so im doing
>Start by connecting to a computer
steps
Im stuck at final step
>Copy the command and paste into the terminal. If there is no problem, you will see that Shizuku has started successfully in Shizuku app.
but for some reason there is no directory for shizuku on my phone.
I have the application installed on it, but when searching for shizuku on my phone, only the apk comes up.

any idea where i couldve fucked up?

>>106547553
OnePlus Nord 4

>>106545427
They would only find out if you tell them or show it off like a instagram brain-rotted retard.
Most people will assume you either have a weird Samsung, or think you have a prepaid phone from one of those weird cheap brands like Alcatel or BLU, Specially if you have a case on it. No one will really care.

>>106547632
and that's taking into account xiaomi and samsung phones?

Why

>>106545910
>>106545933
>>106546051
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.

>>106546336
Why though? On 4G I've had speeds up to 70 Mbps which is fast enough for my needs

>>106547668
i'd say just get oneplus nord 5

>>106547763
I tried running a Gamecube game on my mid-tier Android phone the other day, using the emulator Dolphin. It didn't run very well. If I had a top chip then I'm guessing it would run much better.

>>106547809
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.

>>106547853
Oh? Well get Nintendo on that. Until then, gobs of processing and graphics power is useful for emulating GameCube/Wii, PS2, etc. Even the previous generation of console emulation benefit from this.

>noooooo you can't use your multipurpose device for games, because I am from reddit and PC Master.. I mean Main... Race... I mean Demographic.
Can't hear you over my phone outputting to my TV and playing Saturn games with a controller.

Reminder that if you have an android you're no different than j**ts
I look down on you.

>>106548130
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

>>106548454
>nooooooo emulation of game on a phone isn't playing a game on a phone! Also no paid games exist on a phone! You're trying to trick me with sophistry! MOOOOOOODS

with the epic flop that was the iphone 17 reveal, xiaomi and oppo needs to break into the us market immediately

>>106548454
it's not 2005. mobile games have better graphics than console and pc games.

>>106548530
which games? how many? I'm aware of only a few that gooners that are probably from indonesia shill constantly, and they're predatory microtransaction slop that bait retards with .pngs of anime girls in ugly clothes, that stretch and wiggle around instead of being properly animated. Oh and I guess there's things like PUBG and fortnite which are old and not known for their amazing next gen graphics.

>>106548507
wrong all over the internet people are talking a out returning pixel 10 devices for a iphone 17 lol. Apple won again. Also here in the USA all the major carriers are offering $1,100 trade in credit for any iPhone 13 Pro and up. All you gotta do is pay the taxes up front and the phone is yours 17 pro or 17 Pro max. These will sell easily and dominate the market as usual. With ALL the android phone brands not one has ever outsold a base model iPhone lol.

you guys don't know winlator ?

>>106548530
>it's not 2005. mobile games have better graphics than console and pc games.
Incorrect your cellphone games will never be on the same level as AAA games for a pc or console. You sound like a kid saying silly uneducated nonsense like that. Phone gaming is for people who can't afford a 4k gaming setup. Simple as.

My poco x3 nfc charging is half broken and stops the process after some time of being connected to a power supply (probably just overheats). Is there any way to manually restrict charging speed programmatically?

>>106548698

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.

>>106548826
>remind anons the base model iPhone 15 & 16 outsell Androids budget and flagship devices globally every year
Thats a regarded point, by that logic you must also think that the big mac is a better than a burger from a local restaurant because it sells more globaly.

>>106548454
You were originally saying that the only games that need high performance are things like Genshin, but that's not true - emulated games often need high performance too. They're still games.

there's actually no way this is true considering how big china is and how everyone there has a xiaomi or a huawei.

>>106548955
LMAO Counterpoint is one of the biggest statistical companies in the world. This is a real graph and 100% credible. Go look it up yourself. Apple MOGS android sales. The iPhone 17 news from the keynote yesterday and the Pixel 10 is the perfect example. Hoards of early pixel buyers are already talking about returning them for the iPhone 17.

Apple and Samsung Won.
Heres a graph from 2020-2025.

>>106547021
>that’s not the problem with the new rules you idiot. they will require DEVELOPERS to validate their apps with an account
Who the fuck are you calling an idiot, soft cunt? You don't need a dev account to use ADB to install unsigned software. Google aren't changing this and it will remain possible even after their new ban take effect. Why not try reading the documentation about the upcoming chnages before you start spouting shit you know fuck all about.

>>106548955
Apple only has 4 models while other brands have much more so naturally iPhone models are going to be at the top of the list because there's less choice.

>>106549104
It says the source for your graphs was Counterpoint btw. Also having a larger variety and different price points should lead to more sales, but Apple MOGS that idea and still out performs with less models for sale. LOL.

>>106549029
No one gives a fuck you cretinous shit.

>>106549160
aw fanboy can't handle facts about smartphones. typical low iq troll reply with zero intelligence.

>>106549160
nta and i care.

Get fucked.

>>106549135
>Apple still out performs with less models for sale
Even in the graph you posted here >>106549029 apple only has 27% market share

I love posting the facts about smartphones here in SPG that makes the impoverished cope and seethe.

>>106549262
That 27% is the top spot globally for 5 years and the same if I set it to 10 years. Even after all these years android manufacturers just don't have the reputable sales numbers since the products are mostly mid. Samsung is in second place.
Heres the 10 year chart.
see: >>106545705
Apple and Samsung Won.

>>106549310
But thats still 73% of the population that has an android so whats your point?

My pixel 10 pro is arriving within the next 5 hours
I'm going to zoom in 100X on the mole on my balls

>>106549391
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.

>>106549039
Xiaomi OS will remove that gay western fake cary.

Test.

>>106545401 (OP)
Is the pixel 7 really good/. Im weighing it up against the 8a and the motorola edge 50 pro

Motorola seems to be dumping their 50 Neo stock, 170 eurobux for the RAMlet version atm.
Anything better at that price point or should I just get a 13R or whatever for hardware longevity? Not a power user but don't enjoy suffering either.

>>106548676
An iphone pro max costs more than your aberage high end pc build

>>106545460
most likely but catch a brick and you'll have to a paypal a chinaman.

ONEPLUS WON

>>106550003
i remember back in oneplus 6 days, it was very easy to unbrick using Qualcomm tool, is it harder now or the files are unavailable ?

>>106550054
the only phones i remember required you to buy someone to unbrick were xiaomi's

>>106550041
how? i heard they became trash after the guy moved to nothing

>>106549475
And why do you care so much? You're very clearly ESL so it's not like its a point of national pride for you or something, why are you simping for a foreign brand?

>>106549721
For 170€ I seriously doubt you'll get anything better. The 50 neo has 5 years of OS updates too iirc, so you've got another 4 to go.

>>106550484
LMAO I am not ESL LOL! I was born and raised in the USA. I never made any incoherent sentence and it was you who couldn't figure out that the chart was representing brands and you were talking about the os. I can care about what ever I want regardless of your opinions. Yiu lost the argument kid and you keep giving me (YOU)s because I post facts about smartphones that you can't handle or comprehend without me explaining it to you.

>>106549654
Good phone overall, the only downside is the garbage fingerprint sensor

mmmmmmmmm apple fucking won

>>106551081
BASED.

Samsung is cooked

>>106551081
if the iphone 17 has it I will definitely be getting an iphone. im not shelling out 1k for a phone.

>>106550614
>>106550614
>LMAO I am not ESL LOL!
Then why do you type like one? Are you a H1B?
>brands and you were talking about the os
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?

>>106551316
I understood the chart better than you. I am not esl so you're wrong again. Regardless I was right and the statistics in the charts are proof. Apple won.

>>106551246
fake.

>>106551316
can't combine smartphone companies for data based on sales lol

>>106551349
The iPhone, Android flagships are not worth it now that they can't side load anymore.

>>106551409
Oh my bad, I though we were talking about phones since this is /g/ and not /biz/ but if you only care about market cap and not about technology then Apple is better yes.

nta but apple is a higher quality smartphone brand and that is why they sell the most.

>>106551571
>they sell the most
but they dont, they make the most money though

imagine thinking the top sold phone globally is bad keep coping.

>>106545756
APPLE WON.

>>106551349
iphone 17 base is actually better than most entry/base flagships currently
especially if you account google killing sideloading
its also definitely better than google's latest pixel trash

>>106552007
do you think apple is any different than google ? they are the ones who started this restriction shit actually

>>106552007
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.

iPhone Air

iPhone 17 Pro

>>106550367
it's the opposite

nothing phone 3 is e-waste tier

>>106552136
>do you think apple is any different than google ?
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.

India saved iPhones imo

>>106552299
wrong. Tim Cook did by making the $600 billion dollars investment towards 49 factories to be built in the USA. BY 2027 I will be buying a Made in the USA iPhone.

>>106552136
well you can sideload on ios so....

Emulating games on smartphones and playing phone games in general is for little kids. Adults buy 5090 gpus and have 240hz 4k monitors and the cpu and gpu are water cooled. Enjoy your mobile games made for kids though.

>>106552286
>there is absolutely 0 (ZERO) reason to get a pixel over an iphone.
who said i need to get a pixel to use android ? i always thought that pixel phones sucks, if i want an android phone i can just get samsung or oneplus or whatever

SideStore works fine. If you never had first hand experience side loading on iOS please don't come here to lie. You can use the Brave browser for.no ads on YouTube without side loading and you can download a dns ad blocking profile to hide ads.

>>106552349
right now, if i bought an android phone, it would tell me that i can't install whatever apk i want ? google bullshit is still not implemented, we don't know what they will actually do, and in my opinion, whatever bullshit google does to android it will never be as bad as the shit apple does with ios

>>106552350
>nooooooo you need a $4000 PC setup to play Super Nintendo games! Stop using your phone for things I don't approve of!
Let people enjoy things. Stop being so judgemental, this is /spg/ not /pcmasterrace/. Bet you use Windows too lmao

>>106552363
So you paid $99/year for a developer license to sideload apps indefinitely? Or you renew every 7 days? lmao

Little kids need to play games on the go. Adults have pcs and retro consoles with mod chips. Smartphone gaming is cringe.

>>106552409
It takes less than one second to click the install button every week. Does sound like it would be too hard for you though.

>>106552424
Ah yes, the "adult" who is afraid of "childish" things. Not an underage b& at all. When you grow up you will stop trying so hard to be an "adult".

Or you're just coping because your $50 Walmart special phone can't run games? Either way, let people enjoy things.

>>106552503
Why are you so angry about iOS? I have a Galaxy S25 Ultra, Pixel 9 Pro XL and a iPhone 16 Pro Max. You got 1 phone you play games on kiddo. You don't know me like that little bro, I got Jesus on my side. I am blessed.

>>106552530
Ah yes, bragging about needless consumerism and wealth, if only Jesus had said something about rich men, a camel, and the eye of a needle. Or if the deadly sins included pride or greed. Too bad.

I barely use the camera on my phone.

Depending on the water resistance rating you could just wash it in the sink

I was thinking of going from 14 pro to 17 pro, but I see they've made 17 pro deliberately look gayer and aluminum this gen, while air has all the flagship features except telephoto and ultrawide and is titanium
so thingken about picking up air instead now

literally the only thing stopping me from getting an iPhone is I can't do texting on my Windows PC since Apple refuses to make a program for Windows.
I can at least text using my keyboard with the Google Message web option.
It's a shame Apple can't realize if they'd open that walled garden just a tiny bit, they'd end up with way more customers who are holding out

>>106552933
Are you serious? Windows Phone Link works with iPhone and Android. On a Mac you can mirror the actual phone.

>>106552955
Last time i used it it doesnt load any old messages. But it does let you send messages.

>>106552955
only lets you send messages
doesn't allow you to look through full chat threads, react to old stuff, etc

>>106552755
It's a budget Samsung, no resistance as far as I know.

I fucked it.

I barely use my phone

>>106553366
me too, my mobile screentime is like 30 minutes per day.
this T14 G2 AMD is just too damn good and comfy, no fucking toy phone with clunky OS will ever measure up to my thinkpad.

I pressed a wrong button and accidentally installed TikTok on my Android 12 device. I didn't notice for a while, but I eventually uninstalled it without ever opening it. How do I make sure it's completely removed? I searched through the file system and I didn't see anything that looked like it could be related, but I want to be 100% sure.

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.

kde connect works on iOS

Is the Sony Xperia 1 V my only choice?
I want a relatively new phone with LineageOS support and microSD slot. I could also just wait until the Fairphone 6 receives LineageOS support, but I would have a worse cpu compared to my current phone (Snapdragon 865 vs 7s Gen 3)

>>106554371
Why do you need slow storage? And LineageOS?

>>106554234
True, but is is heavily nerfed. No background activity which means you have to have the app open on the phone to do anything. Makes it basically untenable for anything except transferring files.

>>106553796
Infared? Are you one of those daft cunts who turn the TV off at a pub? Esim is great, but again the obsession with slow storage... I don't understand. Are you hot swapping SD cards?

>>106552572
No. But you can get chance which is better, use testflight. iChan is also an option, but you gotta pay.

>>106553612
>accidentally installed
>never opened it
Why would you come here and tell lies. Unless you gave it access to a folder uninstalling it should remove all data except your account on Tik Tok servers which would need to be manually deleted. But you totally didn't make one to look at dancing girls, right?

anyone ever use one of these things? They're just memes surely?

>>106554631
Too old to recieve security patches. There's a project to make a new one, but with an ancient SoC...

Clicks keyboard is probably your best bet but it is flawed, you have to always bring up the on screen keyboard for special characters like ">" and it is only available for a few models.

>>106553716
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. Many people had cheaper MP3 players, but iPods were a status symbol, so a lot of people lusted after them, and spent big money on them.

>>106554706
iOS is just much cleaner and looks much more aesthetically appealing than Android, even OneUI
