sONY Lost

I can't wait to get my OnePlus 15!

It just works.

>>107076765
Snoy is so far ahead of the mainstream faggot brands that it cannot even hear you.

Any unusual accessories you got with your phone?
I bought a motorola edge 20 pro in 2022 and I was surprised to get a USB-C to HDMI cable with it
I can plug it into a monitor and it works in desktop mode, it's pretty nice

Redpill me on /e/OS

You were born a street shitting currynigger.
Your father is a street shitting currynigger.
Your mother is a street shitting currynigger.
Your friends are all street shitting curryniggers.
Your neighbors are all street shitting curryniggers.
Your entire town are street shitting curryniggers.
Your entire country are street shitting curryniggers.
You can lash out all you like, but nothing will ever change the fact that you're a no life loser that spends every waking hour of your street shitting currynigger life worshipping a fruity fag cult.
One day you'll wake up as a cringey 40 year old virgin still worshipping your fruit toys and your street shitting currynigger grandma will neck herself upon realizing she raised such a pathetic street shitting currynigger incel.
You will breathe your last breaths alone, seething, and clutching a framed portrait of your street shitting Syrian sandnigger messiah surrounded by your fruity babby toys.
You will die a street shitting currynigger, and no amount of worshipping your street shitting currynigger fruity toy cult will ever change that.

it's true, Xperia 5 III is probably the best smartphone I've ever owned

Thinking about getting a new phone and down to probably two options:

Minimal Phone MP01
>looks great
>fuck expensive, $399
>kinda big, 5.59" x 3.07"
>not actually eInk, just a cheaper, shittier version
>camera and flashlight
>headphone jack, bluetooth
>may need 2FA/clock-in apps for new job
>can double as e-reader
>MOTHER. FUCKING. PHYSICAL KEYBOARD.

Light Phone II
>looks great
>still pretty expensive, $299
>kinda small, 3.75" x 2.20"
>actual eInk
>no camera or flashlight
>headphone jack, bluetooth
>can't do apps if job needs them
>customizable yet limited tools (this is a positive)
>kinda wondering how typing is going to go on it, looks ok from pictures

Any thoughts or opinions?

>>107079038
quick and dirty size comparison too cuz most sites only have smartphones, Xperia 5 III is reference model of mine

Is the Samsung Xcover 7 Pro any good? Seems to be about the only phone with extensible memory that isn't otherwise cucked feature-wise.

>>107079182
>no headphone jack
>not cucked

For the billiona of apps and experts in coding etc etc the one seemingly simple, straightforward, fundamental, basic thing youd expect to exist but doesnt is a workable email app that lets you be logged into multiple email accounts and get immediate notifications.
Thunderbird is 90% perfect but only lets you sync as often as 15 minutes and then keeps doing other dumb shit like auto sorting drafts, sent, spam, trash etc under a "[Gmail]" folder unnecessarily and you cant change it.
The ONLY app out there that will give you somewhat timely notifications for received smail is Nine Mail but its otherwise kind of trash.

I just dont understand how this is so hard to the point that there isnt a single good mail app, NOT ONE.

>>107079038
They're dogshit, all new feature phones are dogshit, which is a shame.

Better off getting an old blackberry or nokia and tinkering around with it if you want something minimal.

I'm out of the loop, whats the best bang 4 buck samsung s25 you can buy now? There was a sweet deal for an s25 fe for half price and buds 3 fe + wireless charger for free with a samsung promo recently but I missed it. I'm thinking of getting the s25+ on black Friday. Coming from an s20 fe.

adulthood is realizing that all flagships run the same and you buy the one that looks the best

>iPhone air reporting in
I was pretty skeptical coming to this phone from a 12,especially seeing the battery announced alongside it and the one camera/speaker. Lately I have also been considering going to a dumb phone or to a 13 mini for a while. Once I went and saw it in person I was like this is some real steve jobs shit nigga and honestly I have liked it more ever since I bought it.

Poorfag looking to buy a Motorola Edge 60 Fusion for the equivalent of 235$ (I haven't found any better alternatives in the 200-250$ price range) but I noticed this shit doesn't come with a charger. Is it fine if I use my old 2019 adapter for it? It's rated 9 V-1.67 A / 5 V-2 A.

>>107079976
>68W wired
Your charger is 4x weaker than what Moto E60F needs. It's going to work but it'll be very slow.

>>107079997
Whelp, guess I'll buy a new charger. Since when did producers start doing this shit where they don't include a charger?

>>107080014
Apple started the trend with iPhone 12 in 2020 as a cost saving measure masked as a way to "reduce the price to the end consumers" and "reduce the pollution".
Some manufacturers still ship with chargers, but it's mainly just Chinese brands that do.

>>107080030
I don't know much about phones but there's no way the average person fell for this. The charger has to be like 1/20th the price of your average iPhone. It's a hassle for the consumer more than anything.

My xiaomi 17pm is already on the way from shenzhen but I kinda regret not buying the new vivo instead.

>>107076756 (OP)
My phone is starting to feel sluggish, i think i really need to get a new phone but the current market sucks so much, i hate how every phone came with this stupid huge camera bump, but at the same time i want a decent camera because i want to start collecting my travels into an album i can look later in my life.
Do i just suck it and get a new iphone 13 and wait for the next iphone or i shell out more cash for 17 pro but i fucking hate how easily damaged it is

>>107076756 (OP)
Got the iphone 17 Pro a week ago. I was skeptical it could be much better than my base S25, but in some areas the difference is huge. The cameras on the 17 Pro are insane, especially the telephoto, this is genuinely DSLR level quality from a phone, compared to the S25 which has a really underwhelming telephoto camera.
The speakers kinda blew me away, I don't use headphones at home and the iPhone sounds almost like a proper speaker and not a phone, you can actually hear the bass and clear lows and highs.
The rest of the phone is mostly on par with the S25, the iPhone is a lot heavier, iOS is a bit worse but faceID is super comfy and you don't get spied on nearly as much on the iPhone as on android. Pic not mine, I'm too lazy to get up and take a photo. I think I'm gonna keep the iPhone.

>Samsung s25 doesnt come with samsung messages
Grim

>>107080141
>hate how every phone came with this stupid huge camera bump
There's literally just a couple dozen phones with this shit. Nobody is forcing you to get a Pixel or iPhone.
>i want a decent camera because i want to start collecting my travels into an album i can look later in my life.
Then get a dedicated camera. Even the iPhone 17 models have a visibly worse image quality than proper cameras which cost half as much as the phone.

>>107080147
>you don't get spied on nearly as much on the iPhone as on android
That's partially true, but both are still spying on you and not doing a good job at preventing apps from spying on you. If you really want privacy and security on a smartphone then the only real option is GrapheneOS.

>>107080160
Probably because of the US users and RCS in the Googles Messages app.

Do OLED smartphones come with pixel cleaning/refresh features likes monitors? I don't want burn-in 1 year into buying one.

>>107080274
Yes
They don't even give you eye strain anymore if you get the new models

>>107080305
Isn't that just because of the high frequency PWM? Anything in the high 100s/low 1000s is perfectly fine for 99% of users even on min brightness.

>>107080274
burn in is a non-issue on phones unless you're a drooling retard who plays genshin 20hrs a day

Anyone else looking forward to the unihertz titan 2?

>2025
>get a phone
>have to charge it 2-3 daily
Maybe I am paranoid about charging the phone once it reaches 55-60% and not lower but how many times do you charge your phone these days?
I have enabled all the battery health features, no more than 90%, slow steady charging, etc.

>>107079521
you need 4G bands if you want it to work dude, only a couple of the newer nokia phones have that capability. in the US btw.

>>107080147
Apple charges you 2x as much for the privilege of being spied on 2x harder. No other corp hosts a Global Police Summit to help glowies spy on their cucked customers.

>>107080445
I never understood only charging to 90%. To prevent your phone from going to shit in a year or two and only having 90% of original battery capacity, you make it go to shit and only have 90% of original battery capacity from day one?

>>107080101
the new xiaomi looks cool ngl

>>107080445
I frequently let my phone run out of charge, but only need to charge it once every 3 or so days. sunbeam f1 btw

i had pic related in my shopping cart, but decided to look at user reviews/posts about it and every goddamn post is unreadable to a normal human being. i am not even kidding i couldn't find a single opinion from a non-pajeet. and the rest of them are written in english that's almost incomprehensible to me. they also claim that debloating is actually bad for the phone and causes "evil health" whatever that means.
because of this alone i'm looking at samsung a56 right now. i don't want to swim in a sea of pajeet posts in case of any problems.

>>107080537
I have my tablet set to 80% but that's more than enough for that device.
The new safety trend is that 80% is the healthiest max amount for mobile batteries.
Maybe it's broscience too.

>>107080592
80% is even worse.
But on the whole my point applies the same. Why do you do it? Do you keep the phone so long that it's actually worth it (4+ years).

and a ching chong nip nong to your battery

Should I get xperia PRO I. I want a phone best camera sensor and I can't really wait for samsung s26 with its 200mpx 1inch sensor. I want it a phone with 1 inch sensor now!

>>107081214
i love xperia but to tell the truth, the pro line SUCKS

yes sir CONSOOM buy phone NOW 3 year phone sir ?? hahaha laugh !!! new xiaomi , buy good phone, 1-2 year every... good bought sir

>>107080537
>I never understood only charging to 90%
because 100% of 70% is less than 90% of 90%. now, Im not saying the difference is wear is that significant the first ~2 years, but battery wear is non-linear and falls of a cliff after around 80%. you just extend the usable duration of the device by limiting the charge

>>107081126
basically, I tried chink batteries a couple of times and I got burned every single time, they're garbage

>>107081383
They're the same Li-Po batteries, anon. Samsung doesn't magically change the physical properties of their to make them last longer.

>>107081383
for chink batteries you have to search which manufacturer produces the highest quality ones

oh thanks jannies but you guys are very late

please ayaneo give your phone an sd card slot i'm tired of having sony as my only option

Red Magic 11 pro has near a19 performance for 1000$ less!! Red Magic won!!!

why was many of her posts deleted

>>107080537
i charge at 20 and cap it at 80 and just carry a power bank around in my manbag
how many situations are you in where you have to spend 100% of the capacity in one go where you can't just use a power bank?

>>107081797
I don't HAVE to do anything. But it's just less bother to charge to 100% and not have to carry/charge a powerbank or think how much power the phone has left (0-100% my phone lasts every single one of my days, only on trips/holidays do I take a powerbank when travelling).

Need a linux device to run Multimodal LLM on preferably 20$ and used

>>107081980
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Main
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
pick whatever has better compatibility

>>107081904
having a safety net of a power bank and practicing healthy battery behaviors will be less bothersome in the long run
long term you'll have the same battery capacity but with the peace of mind that you can recharge your phone several times

>>107081775
but no sd card sir
for me no sd card no buy

>>107082043
Nah if it drops to 80% of original capacity I generally replace the phone (it should be at least 3 years or more).

Have the A3 in my pocket

>>107082042
is mobile ubuntu getting rust raped too?
i was planning for my next phone to be one of those open enough to run full fat linux on it

>>107082105
i think ubuntu touch is unaffected and if you are afraid just get postmarket os

2020-2025 Global Smartphone Sales

Is it worth sticking with Motorola? I've been thinking about changing my current one after 4 years of usage.

>>107082324
It's the only "good" Chinesium brand. If it works, it works. You should get at least 5 years out your smartphone before replacing it.

>>107082335
Its getting 5 years soon. Any recs or should I just go with something like edge 60?

i want a phone that spies on me 24/7 so bad

>>107082158
>oh hey anon, oh what's that phone you have?
>is that a samsung or an apple?
What do you say?

>>107082496
i wouldn't trust the safety of the vagina of any woman that cares about phone brands

>>107080604
Some kind of chemistry and science that battery "bottom ending" at 100% and keeping the cable on (because you can't be there to unplug it right when it hit 99) it's worse for the battery to "overcharge" and push it somehow..
I can ask the robot to explain it better. Not sure if I believe it but ok.

>>107082828
>I never understood only charging to 90%. To prevent your phone from going to shit in a year or two and only having 90% of original battery capacity, you make it go to shit and only have 90% of original battery capacity from day one?
This is my question. (Substitute 80% for 90%). Why nerf your current experience out of fear of the experience you will get in 3 years when it will be time to upgrade anyway?

>>107082860
>in 3 years when it will be time to upgrade anyway
only COONSOMERS think like that

>>107082942
How long do you go before getting a new phone? Be honest.

>>107082496
>it's a... ulephone...

>>107082963
i got my current one back in 2020 and it's still working fine, i don't feel the need to change it until it actually shits the bed and becomes unusable.
my 2 previous ones probably lasted 4+ years as well, i'm on my third smartphone in my entire life.

>>107082496
here
*unzips*

>>107079038
did some thinking and I'm probably gonna go with the Light Phone II. I'd rather have the restrictiveness of the phone, will instead use a separate handheld camera in place of its camera, and if work needs me to use apps or stay up to date on email, I'll just dumb down a smartphone I already have. plus I always have a flashlight handy anyway to be able to walk in the dark.

The A19 Pro beats the s25 ultra, oneplus 15, find x9 pro and the red magic 11 pro too. The new Apple M5 chips mog the Qualcomm X2-90, X2E-96-100 btw. That’s why the troll posts older Apple devices since they don’t want to post the truth about the current state of Apple vs Qualcomm chips.

I have been phone hopping like crazy almost every month for the past 5 years and I just completely lost that urge with the 16 Pro Max. Soon had it for 6 months and I love it. Don’t feel like I am missing anything at all. I think this is the one to keep for years to come!

Reminder the A19 Pro is a beast!

They definitely need to redesign some things and I agree the new icons and control center are hideous. That being said I still couldn’t switch just because of that. The experience is too good and obviously they gonna change stuff again soon with how many people are complaining. They already added the tint option for the next update which is a huge step in the right direction once it spreads to the rest of the UI

>>107082963
I have a Zenphone 11Ultra and it has more than enough of anything I need. Unlimited space for apps, good speed and all the nice things, perfect camera.
It has the option to charge unrestricted, at 80% or 90% at its battery health settings.
I'd like to avoid paying over 500 for a phone as long as possible.

Whats the best site to get preowned iphones? Just looking to replace XR with a more modern-ish iphone just so that i can keep my groupchats n stuff. Preferably i would like to get an iphone with usb-c. Sometimes i wish ipods still existed.

There was a link that listed apps that work with yellow (custom OS locked bootloader) and red (unlocked bootloader) Play Integrity status. Green status being a locked bootloader plus a Google certified OS. But I lost the link.

Pokémon Go is said by a list to need it (at least the Play Store version). So I imagine the gay trading card game would need it too, or you could theoretically mess with IAPs or cheat.

you just know every company probably dumped millions into r&d thinking itll be a gravy train to have a shittier, thinner phone to sell only to have their eyes bulge out of their skulls upon realising everyone fucking hates thin phones for being way too uncomfortable to hold and having shit fucking batteries

>>107088062
I agree with you 100% about the fact that thin phones are not wanted by many, because Samsung and Apple both released two new thin phones and Samsung already discontinued their version the S25 Edge and Apple admitted to having low sales with theirs, but at the end of the day these companies are worth so much dude and Im sure nothings gonna happen to them just because of one flop. Apple is literally worth trillions and has more money than many countries. They'll be OK.

>>107088062
They're more comfortable to hold though? I won't be returning my Air. Makes a normal phone feel like an unwieldy brick. Phones will get thinner with better battery tech and maybe then you can hold the future in your hands while still getting 12 hours of Screen on Time gooning to pictures of feet.

>iPhone Air
>small phone
It's not. It's a large phone. Thickness is almost irrelevant for people who want small phones. If anything a thicker phone can result in having a better grip. The whole point of small phones is not just "it takes up less space in my pocket" but also the overall ergonomics with single hand use. Unihertz Jelly Max is considered a small phone despite being 3x thicker than iPhone Air.

LMAOOOOO, suggesting a shitty overpriced phone

I get a bunch of posts from Poco, Realme, Xiaomi related subreddits on my Reddit app, and I see Indians posting their phones. I can always tell their Indian from the fact that they're hands look so glove-y. Like their hands have an unusually large amount of lines and wrinkles even though these guys are in their late teens, early twenties. What causes this? Malnourishment? Lack of sufficient protein in the diet?

Is there anyone doing things differently anymore? Sony offers clean android, no ai bullshit, big battery, good stereo front facing speakers, no notch/punch hole, sd slot, 3.5mm jack. They're overpriced to hell and back and that's the only thing preventing me from getting the 1 VI.

The huge battery is very nice, and the trigger buttons could double as shutter release with the camera, but the whole liquid cooling system is gaming-centric.

thats not always the case, but using different lenses is normal in film making.

>>107091954
adding to this.
Hollywood uses iPhones for filming due to their portability, size, and creative potential, allowing for unique shots in tight spaces or on actors that would be difficult with larger cameras. They also offer cost-effectiveness and are often enhanced with professional cinema lenses and rigs, which, combined with the phone's high-quality video capabilities and the ability to shoot in ProRes log format, provide flexibility for post-production and creative control. While not the sole camera, iPhones are used to achieve specific aesthetic goals and push visual boundaries.
This video was made before the 16 Pro Max was released and explains the benefits of using iPhones for filming, including their portability and quality:

Hey everyone, the lying troll that got caught and exposed is doing what they/them always do and is abusing the reporting system. They trick the jannies into banning posts that are literally posting facts about smartphones. Just because they are butt hurt and don’t like iPhones. They report stuff incorrectly as spam and the jannies don’t even take the time to check. They can’t handle the truth and facts about smartphones being posted.

The OS as Google intended with day 1 updates, the camera, or to run Graphene OS. Or the meme QoL features that debut on Pixels first.

Asked my sister why she got the 10 Pro XL and her answer was she didn't want another Samsung or switch to iPhone. But yeah the SoC is pretty underwhelming for such an expensive phone.

I want a phone with a good camera that can also be decent at emulating games. Which one should I get?

It's a phone I'm looking at buying off of eBay. It's listed as new, and the hundreds of reviews all say it's genuinely new, the seller has no negative ratings either.

But I was just wondering if there was some definite way to check if a phone has been refurbished, like with the manufacture number or something. Or if they specially label refurbished phones somewhere in the settings.

>>107093032
i thought it was a launcher with arisu theme

>>107093164
No that's just a OneUi theme, like just a half-assed iconset and wallpaper. The app is separate.

>>107093131
The manufacturing number or serial number would be from when the phone was new, and AFAIK no phones ever say anything in settings about being "refurbished" - except maybe iPhones which sometimes complain about inauthentic (read: not done the apple way) replacement parts like screen or battery.

I know you guys absolutely abhor Appleshit but is the base IPhone 16 a good purchase in comparison to the 15? My only other real option is the Samsung S25.

How do I bypass google play's compatibility bullshit? I was using Aurora store previously, but recently it seems to be broken with paid apps.

My phone is rooted with magisk.

>>107093376

Went to a carrier store and someone had utterly destroyed their Z Fold 7 display model's inside screen simply by trying to lift it while it was unfolded and attached to their security mechanism.
I'm an ex-folding phone user, formerly had the Z Flip 5 and the mandatory screen protector needed to be replaced because it was lifting up (necessitating it be sent away because no local Samsung stores). This was right before the warranty expired so I got rid of it.

Ordered new cases for my 16 Pro max! Mainly due to the flat design the phone has. I want the iPhone 11 feel back. The transparent one I can see is fully rounded. Other one I think is but not 100% sure. Going back to the iPhone 4 design is the worst thing apple ever did. People who think flat sides are comfortable are literally sick in the head

Does Microsoft still make these?

>>107095639
they gave up but fortunately devs are still making roms for it

I currently have an iPhone 16 Pro, but I want to move to something with more control and less Apple.
A friend of mine has a Fairphone 3 and I was able to use it a bit and while it is slow and the camera it is trash, it is usable for everyday stuff.
Now I googled around a bit and Graphene OS dev says that Fairphone is bad with security updates and for now they only support Google Pixel phones.
So now my real question is, is Graphene OS really as good and are there good alternatives or is it GOATed?
And second question is, what phone would make more sense, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9 or Fairphone 6, they all cost around 550€ where I live?

>>107096004
Do not get the fairphone. Volume buttons break off so easily and they do not sell replacement buttons. Literally worst of the worst. You wont get a better phone than the 16 Pro. But go right ahead. You have been warned

>>107096004
>it is usable for everyday stuff.
A fairphone is usable as a paperweight

>>107096004
>is Graphene OS really as good
Yes. It's pretty much the only secure and private smartphone OS.
>what phone would make more sense, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9 or Fairphone 6
The Fairphone only makes sense if you break your phones often and want to repair your devices yourself. If you're going to use a case and a screen protector and you rarely damage your phones then it doesn't really make sense to go for a Fairphone. Fairphones are overpriced because they avoid unfair or slave labor, unlike other phones. And they fell for the recycling meme which drives up the prices for no reason.
I'd go for Pixel 9 simply because it's smaller, newer and has a more efficient processor. Pixel 8 Pro apparently has a slightly better camera and faster charging, but it has a slightly worse battery life.

Are you talking about the FP6? I have a FP3 and it doesn't have any issues other than a shit CPU/GPU.

>>107096115
You're right, thanks, I guess that removes the Fairphone from the list, so it is a sham with that fair and repairable stuff. That leaves the Pixel phones as options, or something completely different.
