>>106644962
All the A19 and A19 Pro soc chips are made by TSMC in Taiwan and the main boards are made in China. India really only assembles them.

The iPhone Air has the entire cpu and main board behind the lens, I don't think it was such a good idea. That heat is causing condensation.
Just get a case so your phone doesn't get scratched.

A19 Pro is the most powerful soc in a phone.

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.

Palantir made spying software that they converted into Pegasus which can see encrypted messages even in Whatsapp and telegram and signal.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra & the iPhone 16 Pro Max showing us why they are the global sales leaders. Now the A19 and A19 Pro model iPhones are going to lead the way!
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.

This thread respects Android and iOS. We don't hate anyone besides Loli posters!

When will graphene work on Pixel 10 and 10 Pro XL?

Why is this ped0 op baking Loli threads in /g?

Any leaks about the next Snapdragon chips yet?

>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.

Are glass screen protectors good?
In the early smartphone days I never liked screen protectors because of the prism effect it had on the screen, but these days with glass screen protectors maybe that's gone?

The Mous ceramic screen protector has a 9h hardness rating, which sounds like a meaningful improvement rather than just a sacrificial top layer

>>106645293
They have hybrid screen protectors too which is a combo of plastic film and glass and they have the ones you're explaining the 9h ones.

>>106645293
https://www.youtube.com/@MobileReviewsEh/videos

watch this guys latest few videos on screens and protectors

also keep in mind that 9H is not mohs 9.

lol

THIS IS THE REAL SPG THE OTHER ONE IS A LOLI CP ENJOYING PED0 OP GENERAL

The next Snapdragon allegedly has a slower single core than the A19 Pro! Faster multi core in the new Snapdragon though.

>>106645505
What does north america and south american in that chart even mean?
Do they count all central america as south so it shows the iphone usage higher?
Or did they count mexico but not all the isles to the east?

I got the meta data I needed to share with the FBI from the posts the Loli ped0s posted in the fake Loli spg thread. :)

>>106645753
Use StatCounter to get a better idea of which brands are bought in regions.

Why do we have two spg threads?
Why is Loli being posted in the other spg? This is a Technology board...

Just bought Pixel 10 Pro and don't regret it.

>>106645753
There is no continent called central america
"central America" is a part of North America

Do all android phones with a punch hole let you cover it up with a black bar so it looks like a bezel

>>106645127
>Same performance as the 8 elite
How can't apple compete more?
They literally use the smallest node in the market, they should be able to cram much more cores and more power, yet they barely compete.

>>106645830
Very cool anon!
I got my Pixel 10 Pro XL yesterday and gave my Pixel 9 Pro XL to my cousin. Will be giving my iPhone 16 Pro Max to someone once my iPhone 17 Pro Max arrives in 2-3 weeks. Now I am
just waiting on the S26 Ultra to replace my S25 Ultra!

>>106645856
Nice, I am going to keep my old phone it is a S24 Ultra but wanted the 10 Pro for ease of use and as backup/work phone.

>>106645847
What are you talking about? The A19 Pro did better than the soc in my S25 Ultra which is a over clocked 8 Elite.

>>106645840
America is a whole continent, it is subdivided between north america, central america and south america, it's been this way for decades as far as my memory is able to remember.
The north is just the US and Canada, the central part us the bay area starting from mexico to panama and the isles around there, and the south are the countries south of there.
Is this some random shit the US invented to be hip and cool like calling indians to be of the asian race?

>>106645870
Geekbench is not a real test, it's invented numbers to make apple look good, I looked at the other, better tests.

>>106645880
> as far as my memory is able to remember.
Your memory is unable to remember. People call a region Central America, but it’s not its own continent. There are just the North American and South American continents

>>106645893
misinformation please don't post your opinions as facts. you would accept geekbench if the results were in your apple hating favor.

>>106645898
There are no south american and north american continents you fucking retarded mutt, the three of them are a single continent called america.
Can't you fucking read, it's like calling south east asia it's own continent for some reason, or the arab peninsula as their own continent.
Is this the true power of the american public education system?

>>106645926
> it's own
retard
>american public education system

>>106645916
>were in your apple hating favor
I literally have an m3 air, m4 max macbook pro and a 17 pro that's coming in the mail, plus the airpods 4 and airpods pro 2, and two usbc to jackl dongles.
I'm far from an applel hater, but the facts are facts, geekbench is literally invented numbers, you can't trust a single number made by those tests since they run so fast it literally takes mere seconds to complete a whole run.
The 3d mark tests are a better showing of the real performance because they actually need the damn phones to run a fucking game.

>>106645893
Who the fuck cares in this day and age about benchmarks? Literally all phones have enough power for everything we want as long as they aren’t sub 500 and even many of those are still plenty capable.

>>106645957
>Clearly shows a table that says america is a single continent
>Hurr durr we just say south and north because us people are so different that we don't want to get paired with the latinos

Does anyone here have a Motorola phone

>>106645505
It is amazing people don't care about control of their device. I basically had to choose a motorola android if i wanted to only use open source software.
That image is a real sanity check. People choose the iphone because marketing has made people associate it with status and that is what people car about, status.

>>106646014
Yes, my now rather dated Motorola G7. It works great after I installed lineageos. I only use a few opensource apps though so your mileage may vary

>>106646050
>People choose the iphone because marketing has made people associate it with status and that is what people car about, status.
No people choose an iPhone because it’s the safest choice. You can restore all your stuff exactly as it was on a brand new iPhone without having to do logins and all other hassle. Everything is simple and everything is taken care of. People want a phone that isn’t annoying to use and doesn’t get in the way of your life. Hate all you want on apple but they do everything so well it’s not even a debate.

>>106646104
Do you think people even use half the features on their phone? Ease of use is important but signaling status is more important.
Are you familiar with the phrase conspicuous consumption?

Anons I don't know what country you live in, but nobody here in the USA thinks a new iPhone Pro Max is a status symbol. Teens get part time jobs here and buy them without a issue. To us real Americans a $1,300 smartphone is not a symbol of being rich. Lol, lmao even.

>>106646137
I get what you are saying but yes people do use backup and restore literally everyone does that. And apple Just does it better than everyone else. It’s not just about simplicity of use, its about all the small details that just gives and overall better experience.

>>106646180
Its about signaling status as part of the in-group not about wealth necessarily.
Apple has always done a good job with their marketing and their brand is associated with being cool, hip, whatever adjective you want.
Females especially are more subject to this type of marketing. The technology is secondary to not being the one person in their friend group that has an android.
That would be social suicide

which is better phone for same price, iphone 17 or s25 plus?

>>106646082
Ok all I want to know is if it had/has the option to cover the camera with a black bar

>>106646220
Youre explaining a indian caste system world view. We don't do that here in the USA sar.

>>106646235
No, on mine it has a little curved notch where the camera is and the display is on either side. To the left the date and to the right icons concerning battery and signal.
its not awful but its not ideal. adding an extra few mm to the phone and placing the camera above the screen would have been better but this is the world be live in.

>>106646232
Samsung is spineless so I would get the iPhone

>>106646248
I am explaining how people who are not autistic think and act. Females especially and men to a lesser degree work on a social consensus model.
Do as the herd does, if your friends buy x you emulate them and buy x too.

>>106646260
Thanks for answering

>>106646284
Youre just posting your strange indian caste system view point of the world and generalizing it globally. Stop posting on behalf of the entire planets population. You Are wrong.

>>106646301
have you studied the history of advertising? if people made their purchase decisions on this like features companies would continue to emphasis features like they did in advertising a century ago.
advertisers learned that you don't sell features you sell feelings. if you want to sell a car you don't need to say it has x,y, and z. you convince the person it will make them feel powerful, free, or belonging to a certain group.
if you buy x you will become y
it has nothing to do with the indian caste system

>>106646321
Not reading your opinionated false information.

I really like the pro max orange

17 pro max or s25 ultra?

thinking of switching to apple last 2 samsung phones i had glitched screens from hip height drop and all overheated
is apple any better?

>>106646973
Get the Iphone. Android won't offer any incentive anymore when they ban "sideloading"

>>106645224
never because no device tree or drivers

>14 pro, dark + some point lights: sovlfvl darkness with a few points of light
>27 pro: soulless images with half-hallucinated, half-captured background and some lights on top

>>106647155

theyre not, stop lying

>>106647155
>>106646973
anon will probably be fine with termux + adb

>>106647181
They are. Sideloading will get as annoying as it is on iphones.

>>106645435
Because I'm still rocking XA2 for almost 7 years and still don't see any reason to change it to anything else.

>>106647229

Q2 Results:
Apple and Samsung Won Again.
Now that google is locking down its operating system I'm predicting that with the iPhone 17 record breaking sales we are going to see Apple 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.

>>106646648
nice anon. I went air from a 15 pro (the air actually has longer battery lmao) and I'm really happy with it. I don't need the fancy foid cameras.

>>106647306
Iphone can't do well if the economy crashes

>>106645435
got an SE3 instead. good phone.

>>106647312
Here in Europe we get top quality china made iPhones. Imagine having poo particles inside your phone, yuck!

>>106647367
This isn't happening lol retailers have reported higher sales foe q1, a2 and q3 which ends at the end of this month. iPhones are back ordered into October after pre orders sold out on day 1.

>>106647419
My 17 pro max box says product of China

>>106647419
>>106647457

Based and a USA anon got a China one. Hopefully I am lucky like you both were!

>>106647463
Received a 17 pro and air yesterday (in the US) and both are labeled product of china. Is the “all made in India” based on anything but a screenshot?

>>106647565
based af anon!
News resources stated increases in production of the iPhone 17 in the indian factories which were reported to be the exclusive supplier of iPhones being sold in the USA. Glad it was wrong!

which one is preferable, samsung a26 or pixel 8a?

both are at a discount (€169 and €199 respectively) so there's no real qualm there. I'm leaning towards the pixel, but I wanted to ask regardless in case I'm not aware of something. I currently have a redmi 9

What phone for ickmaxxing?

>>106647675
jeetdroid lmao

>>106647675
Random chinkphone or an A series Samsung phone

Who's the retard who removed GSMArena from the op links?

What the fuck is this bullshit? Has anyone dealt with this? I'm trying to stick to this price point but most alternatives seem to be xiaomi/poco phones and i don't wanna deal with their dogshit OS again

>>106649679
my theory on why this year pros are so fat, ugly and with trash color options is they are trying to push people to buy the air. if enough do so, the next years pro line will be gimped like the air is. if air bombs, then they will drop it like SE, c, etc

they are trying to push the narrative that all of the new gen iphones are good for everyone, base is base, pro has some extra features that rarely anyone really uses and the air is the highest end material and design with best form factor, who cares if battery is not AS good as base, it is good ENOUGH

air is a lot less expensive to make. if they can convince people that we dont need sim cards and that we only need one rear and one front camera they will make millions. next gen there will be air pro and 18 pro, year after that there will only be 19 pro which will be technical succesor of 17 pro, but spiritual gimped successor of the air line with 3in1 camera
