Counterpoint is also reputable and reliable. They recently released the top selling smartphones for Q2 2025. Q3 2025 stats should be out soon.

Global Smartphone Sales Graph Represents 2015-now

We respect Android and iOS in here :)

It's a shame Pixel phones are so shit because they're the best design on the market.

>>106839326
agreed and I enjoy my Pixel 10 Pro XL, but my S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max are both superior spec wise.

A19 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4

>>106839326
Google engineers are really something
They are consistently making chips that's worse than Samsung's exynos every year and widening the gap to QC and apple's A chips. Maybe by 2030 they'll finally have a chip that matches the 8 elite but uses 20% more power

>>106838981 (OP)
Not like this, sisters! Not like this! I thought we had something really special here.

>>106839511
they had tsmc make the tensor g5

>>106839511
Didn't they steal most of their engineers from HTC?

>>106839557
yes

>>106839557
they did but can't quite get the match of beauty and capabilities right like they did in the past

>>106839552
OH NO NO NO NO

Apple needs the factories to raise production and so soon after release.

so when can i buy the xiaomi 17 pro max

>Snapdragon uses 19.5W to beat A19 Pro's 12.1W in multicore

wow the A19 Pro is a beast

great review about the cameras

Apple keeps spying on users and charging them extra for it.

Both Android and iOS share your data with law enforcement and government agencies

>>106840102
But only Apple makes you pay a premium to get spied on.

>>106840110
not all of us have issues affording a iPhone

>>106840102
If you get spied on either way there's zero reason to pay more for iPhone to get a worse phone and worse OS.

This side by side review style for smartphones is the best I have watched in a while.
iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pixel 10 Pro XL vs Galaxy S25 Ultra

>>106840126
wow

>>106839511
The tensor g5 has an ARM X1 as its single prime core in 2025. Its shit by design, not by accident. Google only cares about cutting costs.

Great review video of the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro

Alternatively, pirate that shit if you don't really have the money to spare.

Just dropped my Fold 6 (with a case) and it landed on the corner near the hinge (not covered by the case) with the edge now flattened (the hinge itself is unscathed), what am I in for?

Why are iPhones made with such cheap shitty fragile materials? You'd think you would at least get stainless steel for $2000. My grandma's old coffee spoon set has more stainless steel content than an iPhone and would probably last centuries longer too.

>>106844162
The Air is fine I think, but on the Pro the anodizing combined with the edge design of the "Plateau" means the edges lose their color quite easily, exposing bare aluminum and looking bad. There's tons of videos out there if you don't believe me. Jerryrigeverything has one such video.

https://youtu.be/KrOBzFwVzwA

>>106844579
seen it already and like I said my phone is fine and I carry it in my pocket with a pen and keys. I don't carry a exposed box cutter so I am fine.

Yes, I block ads with Mullvad plus the content blocking in Vivaldi. Bunch of options beyond just ads in the Mullvad app.

>>106844596
Okay don't say we didn't warn you when the edges start looking like shit.

>>106844603
Anon I know how to keep my devices safe. I am not clumsy or in dangerous situations where it might fall. The iphone 17 and iphone 17 Pros are selling out everywhere. No one is worried about the scratchgate thing honestly. iphones come with glass on both sides of the device most of the time for years and using a case is the norm for most. I don’t like cases personally.

It’s very interesting reading the reactions from anons upset about seeing stuff posted about iphones in a smartphone general. Why is it a problem for people to buy iphones and come to this thread to talk about them?

>>106844619
>no case
>talking about glass
>keys in same pocket(?)
Uhhh you do realize the 17 changed design to aluminum unibody right? Do you just buy Apple's latest most expensive phone without researching?

>>106844643
I don't care, I don't mind iPhones. I just think people should be aware that the design of the 17 Pro/Max is flawed and people should be aware before they ruin their resale value and aesthetics.

>>106844662
youre worrying too much about other peoples phones when they arent even stressing as hard as you are fren

Oh no I'm discussing phones in /spg/ something is wrong with me.

>>106844684
You really think I don't know about the phone I bought? It isn't hard watching a 8 minute video explaining all the ins and outs if a smartphone anon. I am done talking to you if you aren't capable of being mature and civil.

>>106844694
If you're the one who you said you have keys in the same pocket it means you didn't do the research. Good luck with your scratches.

>>106844720
Please explain my mistake. Looks perfectly fine to me as a native English speaker.

Just stop lying Lil bro it’s totally obvious and it’s not a problem idc. Learn proper English. You made an incoherent broken sentence with incorrect grammar.

I put all my phones in cases with a screen protector. Not taking any risks!

Moto G54 or Redmi Note 13 Pro? Which one should I buy?
My budget is $150 and I want a phone capable of game emulation and lasting many years.

Both Motorola and cheap Xiaomis don't get updated much iirc. If you want something to last you a long time you're going to have to pay more. Those phones are two years old and already are running out of, or have already ceased updates, and were budget blowers with anemic processors to begin with.

Sure, you don't NEED updates just like you don't have to lock your car or house. And it will run old emulation fine, just don't expect Dolphin to run at full speed.

Nevermind, probably doesn't have that feature and all that footage will be probably be available online because no security patches since 6 years ago.

Also chink batteries are a gamble no matter what you buy. Sure you can check reviews but no guarantee it won't catch fire.

>>106845876
It's not meant to be a consumer phone. Despite /spg/ recommending it because muh hot swappable battery.

why shouldn't i buy chink shit

Because then your government, which only has your best interests in mind, can't protect you from malicious apps and contents you may see.

>>106846630
Do you like going through hoops to turn off the ads? Waiting 99999 hours to unlock the bootloader just to lose features or deal with the awful bloated skin? Does your carrier even support the phone? Does it have the proper bands for 4G/5G for your carrier? Does it support VoLTE on those bands because if not you literally can't make calls?

These are the things to consider.

the joke is that when the battery started to show its age a little, as a precaution I send it in to the official OnePlus service to replace it, as I assumed they would have first party parts there. that battery completely died after 2 months, so now it doesnt even turn on properly.
there are some ways to have a usb powered phone, but it requires soldering the port and those pins are fucking tiny

>set up codes
have no idea what's that about. Noticed apple now has a passwords app too, dont think I ever opened it. Just need it to autofill from my synced database from syncthing.

wish there was a way to audit these apps, print out all the apps installed and dump that list to some database and check if they were sold or not.

is this the friendly apple general aka /fag/ ?

My Google Pixel 8 Pro was kill earlier this week, need a ≤$200 phone to get me by for a few months. Is the 2024 Moto G Stylus 5G good? I'm seeing open box ones go for $120-$160 on eBay, and they even have headphone jacks and expandable storage which is pretty nice.

I swear while looking up this phone before I bought it everyone was saying how hyper os 2 is great and doing the exact same research after buying it everyone is saying how shit hyper os 2 is.
I'm going insane

so an american has no excuse to not buy the latest iphone every year since you are also the ones with the 200k salaries. hell wven 50k a year would be considered well above average in yourop

how is it different from 16? 16 regular was still the same aluminum as 17

I'm an iToddler, never used anything but an iphone, but I am interested in getting a cheap used android phone that I can install some kind of open OS on and have it as a backup mobile device, mostly just to play music from or whatever (I wouldn't get service for it). Any recommendations?

>>106849490
The way the edges on the "Plateau" make it hard to anodize and for it the color to stay on. Trust me, you'll want a case that covers those edges. Or it WILL scratch.

>>106850220
not pro mongoloid. regular 17 and regar 16

>>106850264
They're the same. They only redesigned the Pro models stupidly. Designers win over engineers.

>>106850279
so does the 16 get scratched by a bar of aluminium or rod of titanium?

It's a sort of unified design decision so apps can all look coherent which each other but most apps have their own look anyway. I got android 15 something. The colors chosen for android 15 seem to be pinkish and brown which looks like ass and I have to endure now because the occasional app makes use of "material".

>>106851207
it takes colors from wallpaper and colors can be changed with an app like https://github.com/Mahmud0808/ColorBlendr

What are the best noise cancelling earbuds to get on Android? Should I just buy the newest airpods pro?

>>106851236
I'll try it out thanks. Although my wallpaper is just red, white and black so I don't know why thinks are brown and pink.

>>106851260

Do you like phones with big round holes

It's mostly hardware talk here. What's a good place for software? Just some general talk where I can lurk to get some ideas for apps and customization.

I think the number 1 problem with the 17 Pros is the price and that stupid aluminum design and camera plateau.
It's even better in every way except those 3 I listed. I could care less about Titanium but the price should've drop.

>>106853483
Why's it matter? Not like Android's gonna let you do it for much longer.

Is anyone else's Samsung phone saving some logs files on /Documents after the One UI update? Gemini says it's battery logs but idk

I've always used my phones with a case (mainly to get rid of the camera bump) and I've always hated the lip at the edge of the screen.

But I've never put a screen protector on it, and now I'm realizing that it would have almost eliminated the annoying lip. I tried a colleagues iPhone 17 Pro Max and it was almost smooth.

So here's a question: how can I find the thickest screen protector out there that will make it flush with the case's lip? But will the touch still work well? I have an S24.

>>106853452
looks like a kamen rider gadget for transforming

>>106854666
Update: if AI is to be believed these are system files being saved in the wrong folder for some reason, nice quality control Samsung you fucking retards

I like my Pixel but I hate the fact it doesn’t have its own offline music app and google photos sucks. Sure I could download alternatives but I don’t want to use some 3rd party app that could become unsupported if the dev gets hit by a train. Back to Samsung.

Do you think we will ever be required to own and use a smartphone?
I'm still using a regular phone as my main one. I just don't need any of smartphone's functions in my daily life. since I only make and receive phone calls and messages. Everything else can be done on a PC.
I know some services have 2FA that only works with smarphone apps. But do we have examples of government requiring you something which can be only done via smartphone?

This is a long shot but can anyone help me unlock this old phone? I forgot the password as it's from years ago and I'd really like to see the photos on the phone. USB debugging isn't enabled, there's no SD, and my computer won't detect it. I was hoping to get in with scrcpy, but no luck. Alcatel TETRA, says TCL/50980/Pixi4-6_4G_CKT in recovery. Surely there is a way to get into much older phones like this without factory resetting?

Isn't the pro version one of the best mid-rangers?

Daily reminder to turn off background app refresh completely on your iPhone to get +10 hours of SOT. Why does this feature even exist? Apps load so fast that it makes no sense to have them constantly refresh content while closed.

>>106855971
pro is the older one with a slight bump down in specs
the naming is confusing, I know

>>106856000
You sure? The pro version is more costly where I live

i currently have a iphone se 3rd gen and the storage is almost full.

looking for a new one, but it shouldnt cost more than 500.

the most important thing to me is the camera. also i dont like big phones. any recommendations?

poco the moldy phone

>>106855971
the non-pro has a bigger batter + more reasonable resolution (even more battery life)

>>106856298
>shouldnt cost more than 500.
>the most important thing to me is the camera.
sorry buddy, but only flagships focus on the camera

>>106856298
All phones more or less has a good camera. The question comes down to: Are YOU a good photographer?

>>106856072
well shit seems like 3 is better than the 4 chip, these namings istg
seems like pro is better for gachoomering
there's also f7 ultra but that will fall outside your top limit of price

>>106856723
A good telephoto lens makes you instantly a better photographer, if you care about that.

>>106856796
>a performance difference of 2% is somehow relevant
>on a phone
lol
lmao even

>>106856796
8 Gen 3 is better than the 8"s" Gen 4 which sounds like a lower cost but newer chip. It's not better than the 8 Elite (true 8 Gen 4) or 8 Gen Elite 5 (true 8 Gen 5)

Reason for the stupid names is chink fear of the number 4 which sounds like death to them or something.

i like google pixels.

>>106856864
So Poco f7 ultra is the best if you care about highest performance vs lowest price? I heard it doesn't charge fast without their official charger.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold User I don't like how the chance app restarts every time you switch from folded to unfolded or vice versa. I might point this out to Dev-anon soon but I doubt it'll be fixed anytime soon since he likely doesn't use a fold phone himself. Does ichan (is it still called that? I think that's the name of the app you're using. Haven't used it in a while) have that problem?

>>106859979
Don't know but check out Readchan as well, dev is a Google material type dude so maybe he has the Pixel Fold? Maybe not though. Besides that yeah iChan was quite good last time I tried it.

anon I use both iOS and Android and I enjoy using both. law enforcement agencies and governments around the world get user data easily from both operating systems. your opinions on which one is better doesn't change this.

Doesn't matter what os your phone has, the era of privacy is over sadly. Corporations and governments have sold us out.

A friend gave me his old iPhone.
What the fuck is this shit, and why does it have to take 10% of my screen real estate?

Interesting. You mean the trillions Apple spends on marketing about privacy is total bullshit to gaslight their customers?

I've reached the conclusion that using any kind of app for 4chan when you have a folding phone is just silly
At this point I'm wondering if I should get a little Bluetooth keyboard, this thing feels like a tablet

>>106859979
Believe it or not, that's just how android "rotate" the app, by destroying the view and recreating it. At least how it used to be.

Xiaomi won hard

I've got a budget of around $250-300. Can anyone recommend an all around good Android phone? The camera doesn't matter much to me, I'm mostly looking for something I can easily root and flash with lineage os or whatever ROM is popular nowadays.

This shit is infuriating

when are we going to do something about product designers? Jony Ive was undoubtedly very smart but his influence has made it impossible to buy a phone that has some degree of functionalism in its design.

>no headphone jack
>emulating apple's minimalism principles, often working awkwardly in practice due to shape and size difference
>battery lasts 3 hours
>repurposing OS GUI to be pastiche of their older design, cynical nostalgia trends (i.e. liquid glass and razr)
>not even iphones /feel/ aesthetically pleasing

motorola have a few good phones atm, as do sony and xiaomi, but even they somehow seem to fuck it up

Jony Ive is modern day Albert speer

The iphone air ($1k) is a thin 16e ($600) other than muh titanium n shiet with a shittier battery and I’m tired of everyone pretending it’s not

Anyone moving to the 17PM, did you use the wireless transfer to move your data? How long does transfering 512gb take?

I’m just talking shit on that part but the rest is true
>>106864209
I transferred thru itunes via cord because I didn’t feel like waiting 3hrs for a 20 min process so I’d recommend that. The iCloud/wireless option is only for people without much physical media or videos to send over

>>106864292
Yeah, well if you're transferring from a 15 series that's fine since it's USB-C.

>>106864209
