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.

Xiaomi 17 Pro Max

Why the iPhone hate? You're instigating flamewars OP. You use a s24u lol.

Age of privacy is over thanks to Palantir. your phone without a sim can be traced anywhere in the world due to ancient telco equipment in use by telcos all around the world called Signalling System No. 7 (SS7) '. all kinds of spy agencies and police and even organized crime figures with enough cash can get illegal access to the network. every sms, call, location, phone/sim identifiers can be collected in an instant. the global telecommunications system really is that compromised. who nose why.

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.

Q2 Results:
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.

Tim Cook saved Apple 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. No more low quality india made iPhones by 2027.

>>106592611
india ruined apple. just like they ruined Boeing, Microsoft and Google.

>>106592620
Terrible low quality indian manufacturing for the iPhone has resulted in brand new phones being opened with physical damage to the device from the factory.

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

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

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

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

Good morning sirs. Samsung Exynos 1630 waiting room / Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 waiting room / Dimensity 6500 waiting room.

They had to stop making these chips because they would have been as fast as the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 by this point.

LOL

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

>>106592775
Exposing shills. The only smartphones brands worth getting are Samsung and Apple. There's a reason why they are the best selling brands worldwide.

>b-but muh price
Fucking dumbass, you can't beat the Samsung A17 or iPhone SE 2022 in value.

>>106592848

>>106592876
same for xiaome, oneplus, vivo

What's a good upgrade from an S10e mine is starting to go.

I don't do much. Just listen to music and shitpost, talk to AI bots sometimes via a locally SillyTavern instance. Region: USA.

>>106593030
You can get an unlocked Moto G Power 2024 on Ebay for less than $100. It has 8GB of RAM, a headphone jack, micro SD card slot.

Who pissed off the shartytroon

>>106593050
>Moto G Power 2024
You're joking right? That phone is worse than the S10e he's replacing.

OnePlus won!!

If you don't buy a OnePlus, you're fucking retarded.

>>106592957
>>106593030
any phone with 8gb ram in the $300 range

>>106593283
Are you the spamming schizo? Because if not, if he doesn't play any games, the Moto Power is going to do just fine for listening to music, roleplaying, and basic shit. He's not going to get a better phone for the price.

>>106593313
He might as well just keep his current phone.
The Moto G has a worse screen, it's not as water resistant, much worse cameras, larger size, chatbot doesn't support Mediatek as well as Snapdragon, slower SoC.
Both have SD card slot and headphone jacks.

>>106593419
Fuck off spammer

>>106593419
>What's a good upgrade from an S10e mine is starting to go.
>mine is starting to go.
>starting to go.
He can't keep his current phone because it's literally dying. Also, no, Termux is not going to perform any worse on a Mediatek than it will on a Snapdragon. Sure, the 7020 is a slower SOC than the Snapdragon 855, but none of that is going to matter when his storage and his battery has been decaying for the last 6 years of use.

>>106592550 (OP)
Anyone using the S25+? Do you recommend it?

I'm gonna buy a 13 mini in 2025.

If the Stylus 2026 has the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, that will be the budget phone of the year (for burgers). All they have to do is not shed the headphone jack and micro sd card. That's literally all they have to do, and they would win.

Also, give the Power 2026 a Dimensity 7050.

>>106595028
Don't get the A16. My mom destroyed her Iphone Max or something and I had to help her get an emergency phone which was the A16 due to the price. It's failing on her slowly, she has to restart it quite often. I'd go for A36 if I were you

pretty nice prank if you know how to social engineer people
