alright anons I need your input stat
my pixel 7 pro screen died today, and honestly I don't feel like paying 100+ euros for a shitty knockoff screen at my local repair shop
Was thinking of buying a clean OS (like pixel) and a great camera phone
Obviously pixel 9 pro (and 10) are a choice, but people keep complaining they get worse every year, not sure why
Another option is oneplus 13, don't know how clean the UI is
absolutely no UI junk and bloatware wanted

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm looking to upgrade from a Pixel 7a and there's not a lot of good options. The OnePlus 15 is supposed to have a shitty camera so that's not an option anymore, currently I'm debating between an Oppo Find X9 (same OS as 1+) or a Vivo x300. I'm waiting for reviews to start showing up but fuck me is the Android market dire these days.

pixel has tenshit chips so I would avoid them just because of that
I am currently waiting on a 1+ 13, great package for the price with a nice clean OS. For a little while I was considering waiting for the 15 to release then drop a little in price but it doesn't seem like a big enough draw for me
>>106911704
x300 is a nice option for the camera conscious, 17 ultra is also coming soon but you will have to unfuck the OS for xiaomi

Anyone have some suggestions for
>High end cases, screen protectors, and other Pixelsnap / Qi2 compatible accessories for Pixel 10 Pro Fold?
Mine should be arriving tomorrow. As for cases, I've heard that Dbrand's are better than most but regrettably the Ghost 2.0 case is not available for the Fold, only the heavier Grip case for some reason. There's the official Google case but it seems expensive for...maybe meh? Aren't there a couple other 'premium" case brands that are pretty reliable?
Screen protectors seem to be predominantly for the front/secondary display, and given whitestonedome is no longer making stuff for th latest hardware, I figure Dbrand again may do decently with the Prism 2.0 (they did well with my Steam Deck OLED protector), but not sure how much variation there is in quality, clarity, features etc.. of tempered glass protectors. For the folding internal screen, I don't THINK there are any screen protectors as of yet, but at least this one has a a glass interior display unlike all the plastic ones that came before in previous Pixels, Samsungs, Motorolas etc. However, years ago when I got my current OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G I used WhitestoneDome because it was one of the few that (thanks to UV bonding and a placement system) worked on curved displays, so I guess someone could make one for the foldables.
For chargers, I read it suggests a 45w USB-C AC adapter and that's pretty common; Anker or whatever the fuck does just fine with those? The Qi2 wireless chargers seem to fall into the handful that specifically are 'pixelsnap' compatible and the many that claim to be Qi2 certified but because of that only work on iPhones , likely made before the Pixel 10 line showed up. Would any of these be viable or is "pixelsnap" specifically special in some way outside of the magnetic Qi2 compatible chargers (or other magsafe shit that Apple uses)

I'm not sure about all of those chinese models -are those local / available i nyour area? Are you going to be cash or going through a carrier and paying in (interest-free) installments? If you wanted something to last, I'd consider either a Pixel 10 model of some kind depending on what you wanted to spend, or perhaps the Fairphone 6.

The base model iPhone 17 A19 is very capable.
The iPhone 17 Pro has the A19 Pro and today I tested Gemini AI on it which was running faster than my S25 Ultra doing the same image generation on Gemini.

Okay so this is going to be a very newbie question but I've never had to do this before: If I buy an unlocked phone from somewhere else, can I just use the SIM card from my old phone in the new and expect my regular carrier plan to continue on as normal? I assume so. The sim card will be the same type.

i like it. i primarily got it because i like being able to hold my phone easily in one hand so i read a lot of notifications + use apps on the outer screen. there is a screen protector that gets fucked up on the inner screen near the folding area in a few months though but it still works fine. i read a lot of people completely remove the screen protector with no issues but i left mine on since i dont care as much.
i got the moto one instead of samsung because literally all apps will work on the outerside screen. i saw the samsung released a new model that utilizes the entirity of the outside screen now too but i havent looked into it too much to determine if it is compabitle with all apps like the moto. i would have probably bought the samsung model instead if that was the case back then.
so if you miss the days of having an actually small phone, i would get one since it fits that niche for me. i dont really use the inner screen much aside from doomscrolling.

Think about it. Are you going to carry a fully charged lithium ion battery in your cargo shorts (dangerous) and swap it out in the middle of the day? Most phones last the entire day with the screen being on up to 10 hours especially in good conditions (on wifi, good signal on cell).
Why do you need a 3.5mm jack when the built-in DAC is not going to be enough to power demanding cans, and the one in a Google dongle is much better? Even audiophiles have type C headphone amps with a jack on them if they use such a monstrous setup.
>but I need to charge and listen to music

Boox p6 pro. Color eink screen, my experience with the boox eink calibration is that it's good enough to use to watch videos. Battery will last especially long if you're not wrong about your use, since the screen only draws power when it's changing.

So Iβm currently in talks to be getting my own phone plan so my parents can go on a discounted 55+ option. Was looking to upgrade my phone from my iPhone 13 back to Android but the whole lockdown has me questioning if itβs worth going back.

Well enjoy your Samsung X Cover (batteries sold separately, and only to Enterprise customers) or feature phone. My point was EVEN AUDIOPHILES don't use or care about the jack being on the phone itself.
At this point, it's like "having a preference" for horse and buggy when the market moved on to to cars a long time ago.

Your example doesnβt prove that itβs spam. Itβs just a different file name and those images are literally facts annd information about smartphones which are posted in a smartphone general. You are very slow and it just shows that you are a flamewar starting person who refuses to let anybody talk about iPhones in peace and you only want this place to discuss androids and thatβs not the rules here. you can keep false reporting all you want.

I was literally one step away from purchasing it.
If its audio might be bad, what phone I should pick up considering fact that I value things like:
-hi-fi music with no drm shit
-combability with as new as possible android just to be able to run gov\health\bank apps, no gaming
-small size - under 5"
-good battery life
?
I guess it's impossible to find one with bingo

Apple only hires internally for high level positions, which is a good thing
Is the S26 Ultra going to be thicker than the S25 Ultra? Buddy swears up down it will be way thicker but I see no confirmation on that. Most sources say it will have bumb but the frame of the phone will be slimmer.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be approximately 163.4mm tall and 77.9mm wide, with a thickness of about 7.9mm. It will feature a 6.89-inch display, which is slightly larger than the S25 Ultra due to thinner bezels.

I know budget can't have it all, but this phone was more expensive than the g6 in its day, what should I get that's got AR certification and a somewhat decent camera? 1000fps slowmo is a damn rarity these days.

Plan is to sell the Ultra, use the funds to buy out the remainder of the first carrier's device balance and get either the S25 Edge (since S26 Edge is cancelled or at least delayed), or the Pixel 10 Pro (shittier processor, screen and Desktop Mode, but good telephoto and better software) or iPhone Air (better processor and design, but no desktop mode, no telephoto nor ultrawide and iOS can feel limiting) but these latter two are more expensive.
Kinda leaning towards the iPhone Air at this point since I barely use S-pen (mostly annoying to me) and telephoto (although sometimes it's useful) and Android feels like it is becoming a walled garden so I figure I might as well go for Apple.

Where is the freedom? Android used to be an enthusiast platform, for people like those on /g/. Now it's for grandmas who can't be trusted not to install malware.
In terms of privacy, iOS is better than OEM Android, but worse than GrapheneOS. With the latter fucked over by Google, iOS is looking better every day.

My wife's pixel 7 started charging really slowly. She would plug it on charge and it would only charge a few % in 10 minutes. So I went into settings and turned off that Battery Health Assistance crap which throttles charging speed and it started charging normally.
Well now I just found out that in new pixels like 10, the Battery Health Assistance is mandatory after 200 cycles and you can't disable it. WTF? Who the hell is going to wait around for hours for their phone to charge when the charging speed is that low? Just yet another reason to not buy Pixel anymore (as if there weren't enough already)

ditto lol every phone is spying on you, if you don't want to be spied on don't use a phone
to answer your q though i think it just depends on the brand. some are more 'spy' heavy than others
if you're worried about it you can also get a firewall/dns blocker and block all connections except the ones you allow
just remember don't let the information on your phone be a liability

I just started having issues with mine too.
Feel like the Pixel 10 is a disappointment for a 10 series phone. Not bad, but starting at 128gb is just criminal for $800.
Might wait for a black Friday sale and see what deals come out. The 9a seems like a really good value.

i'm in yuroop, why do you think i'm looking at $200-$300 chinkshit phones? my current one is also chinkshit and it's been working fine for over 5 years, so i'm not looking at flagships
I just want to know what the best phone is if I care about a good camera, big battery and tons of storage for gacha and porn??

redmagic phones look good on paper, but their selfie cameras are still dogshit. Not that I take a lot of selfies, but still, it's better to have a decent one when I do need it.
Also, these are all high-end phones, which I do not need. I don't game on it,
>>106928829, so anything around a snapdragon 7 gen 4/dimensity 8400 would be fine.
My priorities are: around 300 european pesos, a large battery and decent specs. AND NO HOLES.
At this point I'd be willing to let go of the 3.5mm jacks and sd cards because fuck this entire industry.
But the holes are unsightly. You just simply cannot go back to anything else after using a full-display phone.

your options don't seem too many, large battery usually means high end processor and 300 sheckels is too low for any midrange under screen selfie

I can get a free pixel 10 pro or spend 400 on a moto stylus 2025 that Verizon doesn't recognize but worked when I used a sim on the 2022 version.
I like styluses but I need a better phone for Girls Frontline and maybe eventually trying umamusume also I like having a headphone jack a lot.

Tbf I have had a pretty good user experience with the g line and mixed with the z. I don't even see a point to the edge since it isn't a substantial upgrade for the cost from the g. Phones still last longer than every samsung and LG I have owned. Z2 had the only hardware failure and that was the battery bulging, samsung s7, s10 no longer had a functioning microphone then touchscreen within 1 year of ownership just out of the warranty.

Anyone able to weigh in on this?
Also, thanks to someone bumping into me today in their haste, I ended up dropping the damn thing and, while it didn't land on either of the screens, it seems there are a couple of minor (almost imperceptible visually, but you can feel the rough patches) chips and knicks between the back of the phone and the edge of the spine. Is there any way that these can be buffed out so to speak or there's some sort of cosmetic repair product that would help both aesthetically and in terms of feel? Or would it all be more harm than good and just to stick a case over it to be done with the whole thing and prevent any future damage?

Yes, but personally I would go with the shittier one with the small touch screen and not the + with the full display. This was the only thing to break on my 2020 Razr, I'm running the normal '23 now and it has been pretty good. I'm at a year of daily use now after I got it second hand and the screen is fine, no crease. No case on it either and I have no major damage. Only thing that is annoying is you need to keep dirt and sand out of the hinges - I just blow it out with compressed air once in a while and it's fine.

You can (and should) use custom AOSP/lineage forks on OP13 instead of stock shit. You could maybe wait for 15 but I'm afraid they're gonna lock the bootloader and even if they won't, we'll have to wait for months until device trees are published and aosp is ported

if you can do it, just hope that's everything is accessible from the back cover and you don't have to open the screen
