Typical Spammin' Sanjay lying in his troll posts because he can't handle the reality that Apple is a spyware company. The truth is UK law only forces APP-MAKERS like Discord, Reddit, X, Facebook, Instagram to verify users because of all the CP on their platforms.

Apple just saw it as the perfect opportunity to enforce mass surveillance at the OS level and passed the blame onto the UK.

If by "out of the box" you mean after debloating then yeah it's fine. I've been on HyperOS 3 for a few weeks now. Bought a phone despite people warning me about Xiaomi's OS being dogwater. I don't really have any complaints other than Firefox tabs randomly being killed. It seems to literally only happen in Firefox. It doesn't happen on forks like Fennec or whatnot. No idea what's going on there. I've only been on it for a few weeks though. Was on a really old LineageOS version prior to that. I also have an old iPhone that still gets the latest iOS updates, but I've never really used it as my daily driver. I don't feel like it's a worse experience than anything else I've used prior to be honest. Not really sure what people were bitching about.

What the fuck is this shit? I've just about had it with Android. What's the best Linux phone that doesn't have this zogged totalitarian surveillance bullshit?

I snagged a Poco X8 Pro Max and I'm very happy with it. Debloating was marginally more annoying than usual but still only took a few minutes. I'm also surprised that POCO Launcher is a coherent and pleasant experience. In hindsight, I probably could have gone any cheaper. I'm a very light smartphone user.

Purchasing a phone or car on a payment plan isn't owning it. Sensible people know better than to go into debt for a car or phone. That's why midrange and cheap phones exist.

I have a Samsung A-series phone. I'm happy with it. I wanted an affordable phone which could do standard smartphone tasks - calls, texts, email, online banking, photos (as long as the quality is good enough, it doesn't need to be the absolute best). Another good thing is that this phone gets 6 years of security updates from the date of release. Other affordable smartphones on the market usually only get 2 or 3 years of security updates.

>>108523509
How would you know what people with money do? You're here posting fantasy stories about people who buy flagships, cars and homes supposedly being poor.

even oneplus left india and oneplus is in the shut down phase as of march 31st; so why wasnt india able to save them? oneplus said they will operate outta china only, guess they realized how bad they were doing in india production and quality skilled labor wise. shall I start posting all the bugs and issues android has since its impossible for the os to be optimized on all the brands and models of android available? fot example the red magic 11 pro I have and the super glitchy system on it or the oneplus 15 i have giving me notifications from yesterday. what will be the cope after?

I've got to admit the S24+ is really tempting, found a refurbished 512GB option that is supposedly in excellent condition for $540 (most are around ~$580 or higher), but then again it's Exynos and it seems I would be trading a considerable amount of power for a feature I might not get much from
So I'm just going to settle for a safer(?) route with a new 512GB Poco F7
Cheapest listing I found is at $610, normally I'd wait since apparently they also got a price hike because of the RAM inflation, but I'm kind of in a hurry, this A11 is so goddamn slow I'm losing my mind
(The prices look absurd because of currency conversion, that's how much I suffer in my shithole)

I have 256GB and use anywhere between 35-60GB of the storage. But most of my data is stored/comes from my home servers and private cloud instances. It doesn't persist for long on my phone's local storage. I'd say, purely for apps 256GB will be enough.

>>108531802
I have the Galaxy A26 and I'm very happy with it. It does all the smartphone essentials I need (email, web browsing, taking photos) and it has 6 years of security upgrades, unlike other cheap smartphones which might only have 2 or 3 years of security upgrades.

I haven't tried the Galaxy A17 but he said he could only spend $200 CAD, and that one comes under that budget. The A17 also has 6 years of security updates, although it's now about 5.5 years because it was released a few months ago. I imagine it's a perfectly adequate phone for everyday smartphone functions.

Was thinking of buying one of those TLC phones with the matte display. Don't care if the camera/soc aren't the best. Any good?

>>108534807
idk why I messed up but is both times should have been if*

>>108534786
Samsung and Apple are pretty much just as terrible just in different ways so go with whatever you want. Samsung definitely has more features, but a bloated skin on top of Android. iPhone doesn't have true multitasking.

>>108534808
>jailbreak
>what OS
you don't. You only jailbreak iPhones, because iPhone users are in jail (walled garden). There are no custom operating systems available iirc.

You unlock the bootloader on an Android device, in which case it may be possible to flash a custom ROM. It is dependent on the phone so you'd have to tell us which one you got.

>>108534818
that's just you opinion once again, just because you only use a web browser doesn't mean everyone else with a flagship will as well. You can't even logically explain with facts why your old phone is better and now you're making up silly stories that only fit your purpose. You therefore can't provide a valid reason that isn't opinion, so you are wrong.

>>108534818
if you think I bought a $1,700 flagship smartphone to just browse the web you're not as intelligent as you think you're.

>>108534873
yeah that's the resident troll, ignore and report. Note how he obviously samefags to appear to be more than just one person. Always right after one another. Doesn't get 4chan, poor retard.

If you are happy with the OnePlus 7T and it works for your use case, and you are up to date on security patches, nothing really else to do. There's lots of custom ROMs available for it too, which aren't available for newer phones. Hell, the Pixel 3A is a GOAT for this.

>>108534938
Cringe projection

>>108534873
>Calls anons shills for refusing to accept a 5-year-old smartphone is better than a modern brand new flagship
You just can't handle the truth and you got called out you 5-year-old phone is not on the same level as a modern-day flagship and your cope of "oh well I only use a web browser therefore everybody else does too" is not a reason for it being better or a purpose that works for everyone else's use and purpose of a new flagship so your argument is flawed. what are you like 13 years old?

>>108534832
>>108534807
I'm kinda traumatised with samsungs after the s22 battery, i'd go for an iphone, either save 2 more months to buy a new lavender 17, or a 15 pro max refurbished next month

>>108534786
do you prefer android over ios?
do you have big hands?
do you value bigger screen over the ergonomics and ease of using one handed?
will you use stylus more than 1 hour a day?
if your answer is yes on most of these, then go for s24 ultra. personally, my pick would be 15PM for better battery, form factor, build quality, design and ease of reselling
you really cant go wrong here, just pick whichever you want more. both are great for the money and miles and miles better than mid rangers of 2026 and even more better than ancient flagships like s7 edge, op7 pro and their budget options like delulu anons' 7t

>>108534938
bro you're talking about yourself. I come here to only post smartphone facts and you all cope and troll and post lies in response. I just come here and watch all you liars expose yourselves.

Can't explain why a 5 year old smartphone is better than modern flagships, because it's not possible. That was the lying anons own words saying a old antiquated smartphone is better than a brand new flagship and they can't back it up. Not my fault. The tremendous amount of opinion posting instead of the actual truth won't change that. Facts will always be respected on this technology board over your false feelings.

are you getting more drain on a16 qpr2 roms compared to a16 qpr0 or even a15 qpr2?
