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 you are ok with a physical keyboard, we can get you a 4" screen.

https://clicks.tech/communicator
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jellyphone/titan-2-elite-the-5g-keyboard-phone-youve-been-waiting-for

Unfortunately, the costs of custom tooling along with the poor sales of small phones (like the iPhone Mini) means that you are unlikely to see normal phones with 5.5" screens the near future.

The standard "regular" phone is 6.3" now, but if you take the Pixel 10 Pro for example with smaller bezels it is actually shorter and slimmer than the Nexus 6 (6.0" screen) or iPhone 6 Plus (5.5" screen).

It's gonna be slow but hey it's your life, Pixels get shit on for being bad at benchmarks but the Tensor G5 is three times as fast in benchmarks as the Exynos 9820 in the S10e. Expect to need to replace the small battery as well.

>>108537972
Any SD855 phone from 2018 still loads every app instantly. It was the Sandy Bridge for ARM. The only thing it can't do is run the latest slop AAA mobile gambling gatcha garbage at maximum graphics settings.
Smartphones have long since peaked.
If you have one with an unlocked bootloader it'll last longer than any current flagship, and absolutely longer than any iPhone that gets throttle updoots yearly.
>>
>>108538078
You're not fooling us into thinking old smartphones are better than new flagships. We aren't playing these low IQ games.

Oppo just owned Smasnug, who have years of making foldables and can't even innovate it to get rid of the crease. Oppo is coming for the top Android spot. Can they do it?
>>
>>108538078
Id be getting the Exynos 9820 version as the bootloader on the SD855 version cant be unlocked
but thats promising to to know regardless, im sure the exynos cant be too much worse
>>
>>108538134
Only low IQs like you think anyone cares about your gatcha trash games. Functioning adults care about practical concerns like their apps opening, and opening reliably without their phone getting throttled because the maker wants to force your to buy the new model iSlop.

I don't play games on my new smartphones and I also don't come to a technology board lying about how old smartphones from 5 years ago are magically better with a rom install. You're a troll constantly having to insult iPhones in every post. Are you a little kid? Not everyone here has only a iPhone some.of.us can afford multiple new flagships. This is a technology board we buy new tech here and don't post lies coping, that's not what adults do. Adults also aren't obsessed with constantly having to post misinformation about Apple every post either. You obviously can't afford a brand new flagship and are coming here to argue and fight with people who can. This is /g people come here to discuss new tech. If you wanna discuss old tech that's fine but stop getting mad when we remind you that old tech is slower than anything new.

Wtf is Motorola doing? I'm looking for a new shitter because my Redmi is dying. I just want a very basic phone so I came across the Moto G17 which is basically the same with the Moto G15. Why do they dish out so many phones?

And...which cheapo should I get? I only need calls, text, shitty camera and some light communication apps. I'm still onto the G15 atm, there's no way I'm paying more for the G17 when they're this similar.

>>108539102
The Nexus 6 was huuuuge for the time, the codename was literally "shamu". A regular Pixel 10 Pro has a larger screen while being physically smaller due to bezel shrinkage. It's also significantly less wide due to the aspect ratio. A 10 Pro XL is slightly taller and a bit less wide than a Nexus 6, despite having a 6.9" screen vs a 6.0" screen.

>>108538346
It's not a matter of love vs hate, you can still use an older ThinkPad while being secure and mostly it will still run fairly well with a modern Linux OS. The main issue with phones is Qualcomm, who would only support two Android updates for a particular SoC until quite recently. Yes, custom ROMs exist, but they often have to use outdated drivers made for older versions of Android. The situation for other operating systems is even worse, many rely on libhybris which is a mechanism for using these same Android drivers in an alternative OS.

There's also the processing power and efficiency angle, with ARM chipmakers making significant progress although this is slowing down. Then the slop apps most people use are getting even more bloated with each release and the small batteries in older phones which degrade if not replaced, and you end up with a slow device that doesn't last a full day.

Wrong lying troll. My iPhone 17 pro max has 100% capacity unlike the sic batteries in my OnePlus 15 and Red Magic 11 Pro. Imagine posting lies in a technology board that sic batteries are better than lithium ion batteries. Thank God stuff like this doesn't fly in my country and we can tell when someone is full of it.
>>
>>108539645
you (deliberately) misunderstood the numbers. the power draw of the OS has increased by 17% resulting in 21% worse battery life, not that your physical battery has dropped to 80% capacity from brand new
>>
>>108537126
It's so sad how uneducated you are and openly coming here to lie and troll. If you weren't so low IQ you would know the lawsuits meta and YouTube lost forcing them to pay hundreds of millions in damages they caused to a minor using their platforms. Many more similar cases are pending too, this is a way for a company to shield itself. That's why Google and Meta are doing age verifications, but it's also to spy on everybody. You just come here to lie and act like it's only Apple. >>108537146

Are you not capable of reading and understanding how devcheck pro works before blurting out completely wrong information? Devcheck pro is the MOST accurate device checking app for Android, it's used by all android devs. The Battery Capacity and Health section of the app is on point, people have checked. The app requires you to fully charge the smartphone to 100% at least once and let's you monitor the mah charge current levels to determine when the battery is really full. Doing so it determines the full capacity. I know my apps and smartphones VERY well so don't come here making stuff up. My sic battery smartphones degrade faster than traditional lithium ion. Simple as. All posts saying anything else is incorrect. I know what my smartphones are doing, since I'm the one using them.

I have a s26 ultra I promised to sell to someone I know since I don't want it. Android Authority said the s25 ultra is better and I had that last year. I don't want old phones, sorry I just don't live like that and it doesn't hurt me financially to buy tech for fun.
But the 24gb ram aspect of the rm11 pro is what really sold me. It's so fast when the software isn't glitching.

Once again it is time for an update on my wonderful Pixel 10 Pro Fold. I'm still loving that nice big screen and the thinness is incredible, I no longer have a need for a Kindle.

The camera did excellent at Easter, very crisp and clear images and it paired with my Bluetooth selfie stick/tripod very quickly.

It has taken a few pocket-height falls and has no scratches so far, unlike my Samsung which has more scars and chips than my wife's car. The magnets in back (pixelsnap, they call it) are pretty strong and hood the phone up well, sadly I find this quite useless, as we all know Android charges must faster by cable and wireless charging is a meme.

I've heard Si/C degrades faster than Li-ion, but like this? Is ColorOS really this bad or is Si/C a meme unless the capacity is substantially larger than traditional 5000mAh Li-ion batteries? Right now it feels like 5200mAh-5500mAh and not 6000mAh.

>build your own phone
How to into buidl phone?
>if you have to be this particular about it
My wish list is very short.
Ive never owned a mobile before so i dont have the performance expectations that people used to owning modern phones do.
But Im pretty sure most people want a removable battery by now, so their phone isnt just ewaste after a few years.
The only niche request is the switches,
and i really do wish that idea was more popular, atleast here of all places, why else would you be using an anonymous board, if you didnt place atleast some value on privacy?
>>
>>108542376
You can replace the battery on pretty much any phone, just because you can't autistically hotswap the battery doesn't mean it isn't replaceable.

Remote locations.
There are reasons most cameras still have swappable batteries; recording kills batteries fast, and charging takes time.
>>
>>108542509
Then bring a power bank. You won't have service in such remote locations so you can be in airplane mode, which will save you battery. The idea of some neckbeard with multiple lithium cells in his cargo shorts to swap out so he can play his animuu game longer in the middle of nowhere is hilarious to me.

>>108542628
>The idea of
The idea is for one device, that can do everything, minimizing carried bulk and weight.
Big reason smartphones are so popular today, they are extremely portable all-in-one devices
.
An external battery bank is not a substitute for a swappable battery in all situations;
if you are recording, you wil burn battery faster than the bank can charge it, and it will also generate excessive heat, to be using it while charging, it will cause the phone to shut down in warmer weather.

I got me a dirt cheap* Blackview smartphone exclusively for the rare cases that I need to do online banking with certain retarded Portuguese banks that don't offer proper websites for this.

I now want to debloat this cheap fucker as much as possible without losing or even just risking the capability of installing/running banking apps from GooglePlay. Rooting is not an option i.e. I don't want it to become unnecessarily complicated as I would use the phone for banking only and keep it locked away in a thick safe.

Is there some to-do list or guide for a lean banking phone setup? I know I could read over 9000 fucking manuals but I would like to save some time by only consuming condensed information on this particular use case.

Any tip is appreciated.

*70€ btw. It's a little sluggish but seems good enough for the job.

I have an unlocked S23ultra that an old job bought me years ago. I just broke the screen from having it in a bag with hard objects, again, exactly one year out of warranty from the last screen repair and battery replacement. It's like $300, do I bite the bullet and pay for it because this is still a really good pone and I'm too autistic to deal with it cracked.

Adding;
When i am out, i currently carry;
A Garming GPS unit (navigation)
A GoPro (recording)
A small laptop (media)
A 2-way Radio (communication)

This is alot of shit.
Ideally it could all be replaced with 1 device, but that device would need to have swappable batteries.

Because it's a shit game that doesn't care about Android people (probably because iOS users are dumb and spend more money on microtransactions on this Zelda clone), despite some phones having hardware capable of running it at 120fps. So you can cope more about how you get more frames in Mihoyo games despite it being a problem of the Chinese game and has nothing to do with the chipset. iPhone is just like a PC~! What can it do? Uhh.... Run apps that Apple allows you to. Even Macs aren't limited like this.

Apple has an exclusivity contract with Mihoyo for their games to run at 120fps on certain iPhones. Just like they paid so only iOS and not Android had controller support until very recently.

Apple pays the Chinese developer to keep certain mobile features locked to their platform. You use it for benchmarks and clap like a seal that Samsung can "only get" 60fps while iPhone can almost reach a consistent 120fps...not because of differences in the capability of the hardware, but because of contracts and $$$ thrown to Mihoyo to gatekeep features to iOS only on mobile.

How much RAM do you need on a phone?

I'm still using a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with 12 GB RAM. When I have a game open with YouTube running picture-in-picture, my RAM usage approaches 8 GB.
>>
I bought an S25 Ultra because I fell for the 200 MP camera meme and I've come to realize I don't ever need more than a 50MP camera, majority of the time 12MP is good enough. What's a good phone to switch to and sell this? Keep in mind it must be able to run Gakuen Idolmaster at 60FPS on high settings.

>>108544449
More RAM the better, but I'd say 8 is a healthy minimum. I wouldn't worry about reaching 8/12GB as the Linux kernel aggressively caches stuff.

It's more likely that Samsung or Xiaomi or whatever version of Android is aggressively killing background apps if you notice that happening vs you actually running out of RAM to hold them.

Cheapphone bros where you at. I'm currently on the Motorola Moto G 5G 2024.

It only has 4gb ram and a total shit CPU. I bought it knowing this, as I don't really do anything on the phone other than check telegram and phone calls. It's held up really really well for something that cost 120 bucks. I've been using it caseless since its value is so low and people often think it's an expensive phone when they first see it. I highly recc this shit if you don't care about your phone being kinda slow. Battery lasts legit 3+ days after putting lineage on it.

It seems like Si/C performs very well when brand new but ends up performing like it's a lower capacity at some point. I could usually get 9-10hrs SOT out of my 13 when I first got it, but nowadays I get a relatively average 7-8hrs. Battery health seems fine at 99% so I don't think it's actually degrading quickly on a chemical level or something, but that shit could just be a total lie and the actual number might be way lower for all I know.

Don't give your little bro an iPhone because it is a device is built for the seasoned gravity of a person who has seen at least seven decades of life. A smartphone isn't a toy; it is a digital responsibility that requires the weary patience of someone who has spent forty years mastering the art of the long-form complaint. Until he has developed the weathered knuckles of a man who remembers life before the internet and the stoic maturity of someone who actually enjoys reading terms and conditions, he is simply too embryonic for such a sophisticated machine. It is better to wait until he has reached an age where he views a low battery notification not as an inconvenience, but as a poignant metaphor for his own fleeting mortality.

Spamming useless "facts" and yt videos and samefagging constantly to make it seem like multiple people totally agree with you that the poster you dislike is a little bro/underage/immature/kid is obvious to those who have been around the site for more than a few months.

It's the same posts every single thread as demonstrated with the archive links. They're not just talking points at that point, they're an autist spamming the same shit that isn't relevant to anything that is being discussed. Then replying to himself over and over.

This isn't a particular brand thing, I don't hate Apple and am not trying to start Brandwars™ or whatever. if someone were cherry picking AI summaries or charts or YouTube videos that exclusively and often dishonesty made Samsung or Oppo or Xiaomi or Pixel or Fairphone look good, and posting them unprompted with no reference to what is being discussed in the thread for the 30th thread in a row, it would be just as annoying, the spamming is the problem not the opinion.

i get that. It wasn't even available first in my cunt, then the faulty mainboard issue came up, delaying it even more. When it was finally available, it was even more expensive than an iphone, so i found a store that parallel imported it from aisa.

Are you happy with your choice? I would rather be phoneless than buy apple desu kek

Bro it took motorola 7 days to answer my DOA support ticket and now they are asking for more info
I literally added the imei and all shit
guess i didn't add the order number and complaint clearly enough
what the FUCK
>>
>>108548166
This is the partner that GrapheneOS chose kek.

Motorola is owned by Lenovo, a Chinese company.

Can you just return it if was DOA?
>>
>>108548458
>Can you just return it if was DOA?
Yes they should send me a new unit for fuck sake
I wanna get a fucking replacement
They have no easy return it's just "Contact lenovo"
How hard can it be? I just want them to send me a working phone and a prepaid return for the other phone what the FUCK
I already have the exact same phone that is working fine for very long now that I bought retail in my own country btw
>>
>>108548481
Eh it happens. Every phone has a certain acceptable manufacture failure rate, so you basically won the lottery of 1 in 10,000 or whatever units that are DOA.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :^]
>>
>>108548780
kinda hard since it does not turn on or charge
this is the reason I unboxed my other phone directly at the store and turned it on to see if it was working before I left the place
>>
>>108545780
Lol!!!! This is why they hate you, because you post the truth!!!!!

None of these hypocrites are going to bring up the fact that we have a baker that uses flame bait images making fun of iPhones in the op and spams the entire board with Apple hate and they're totally okay with it but they're going to complain about somebody posting facts about smartphones in this general and just because they don't like seeing the truth they complain about that and never complain about the person trolling

why manufacturers are now cheaping out by using only usb 2 instead on usb 3 which was a norm some years ago?
>>
>>108549668
usb 3 was never the norm, cheaper phones have always had 2

>>108548039
I had a similar mentality before buying this model. There just wasn’t much to select from at the time of purchase. I really do love the phone. It does what it is supposed to do, and does it all really well. Nothing crashes, there are no bugs, the software center has more clarity as to what happens with my data, etc. many things to like, few things to hate. The Apple Pay system is surprisingly seamless and 2% cash back is better than what my bank offers with their cash back card. Downsides are that it’s a brick and the battery isn’t as good as I expected. There is also a lack of familiar software available for it and I’m not able to simply plug my phone into my computer to transfer files. Would never get an Apple computer tho.

Android Auto good or bad anons?

>>108549946
this is a lie, when you plug a iphone into a computer you can send mp3 files and video files to the storage and playback the music with vlc on the phone and via carplay. the videos obviously with vlc. you can download mp3s using a browser on the iphone as well. I dont believe any anon who claims what I mentioned isnt possible.
>>
>>108550052
Now add them to Apple Music.

Oh, you need iTunes on Windows or Mac.
>>
>>108550995
did you skip everything that I wrote or are you purposely trolling? Why would I add it to Apple Music when I play it back with VLC on my iPhone? and vlc supports carplay too. you do not need a PC to play back the MP3s that you download or the videos on your iPhone without a PC. you dont even have an iPhone. I can tell youre just making things up. why do you guys openly blatantly lie like this? This is how kids act.

>break down and buy a new phone

>using VLC as your audio player like a pleb
I can't imagine anything more horrible.

Get something decent like Foobar2000 and use the WiFi upload feature, but then it might not be available in carplay or whatever because iOS doesn't have a decent user facing filesystem. It's a very locked down system regardless.
>>
>>108551110
>tech noob gets schooled again and again
VLC plays back completely fine and it supports multiple different audio files formats and sounds crystal clear in all of my vehicles. you have no idea what you are talking about. You are grasping for straws. You are a troll. You only come to this thread because you are only here to make every single discussion about Apple negative and always make android positive. You are literally a child tier iPhone hater spreading misinformation and you are the reason this thread is losing its quality. I literally have more android smartphones than my one iPhone and Im not over here constantly lying and making up stories and posting fake information trying to make either or look bad. Your mentality is very immature and it makes absolutely no sense and trust me, people who actually know technology can see through your nonsense. you said you need a pc to add the mp3s to apple music with itunes which hasnt been a thing for years kek. go learn about modern technology before coming here to preach to us.
>>

its literally so simple and they/them are lying in the thread saying that its impossible. top kek!!!

>>108551158
>uses VLC as their audio player
>calls other people "noob"
hahahahahaha

Then:
>accuses me of being outdated and old for referring to "APPLE MUSIC" as "iTunes" when it's literally the same program under a new name

which is it? Am I a noob? or an old timer? Make it make sense.

>Now add them to Apple Music. Oh, you need iTunes on Windows or Mac.
you literally said this was the only way to add music. time for you to grow up, its okay to be wrong and corrected sometimes. try not lashing out. I understand not all of us can have multiple smartphones like me and actually be able to use them in real life and understand how they really work. :)
>>
>>108551199
I didn't say that it was the only way to add music... did you not the mention Foobar2k and WiFi upload? Work on your reading comprehension instead of just posting as fast as you can. :^)

nta but fr this is not rocket science lol people have been playing music in different ways on iPhones for years

im unable to view or mount my phones internal storage volume when plugging it into my computer. I don’t know where the whole life story on .mp3 files came from. I don’t care about lossy audio, and my original premise was about general file transfer, not the specific use case you pulled out of your ass. I just tried to mount it and it is detected by my computer, but I can’t interact with the file system. who are you to determine compatibility between my personally owned systems? The grand arbiter of software support?

you can use the storage on iPhones for years stop making things up

Thank you iOS Internet Defense Force for your service. You'd think you'd want to help your fellow iToddlers but you just gaslight them.

>>108552173
what OS is your computer running? If mac or Linux you'd likely have the built-in driver working out of the box, but in order to get file transfer working on Windows <-> iOS you have to install a special driver. Which usually means you end up installing iTunes or the "Apple Devices App"
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108643?device-type=windows-pc

>b-but you don't need iTunes
technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
>>
>>108553034
>itunes phased out since 2019
>recommends itunes in 2026
>claims to be a expert
lol lmao even
you dont need to install iTunes to use an iPhone for extended storage when plugged into a PC you dont know what you are talking about. Apple discontinued iTunes years ago as well. learn modern software and tech please.
>>
>>108553119
it's literally on the Apple support website. Are you blind to the fuckin' link? You are against FACTS in favor of AI slop.

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108392
>If your Mac is using macOS Mojave or earlier, or you're using a Windows PC, an icon of your connected device appears in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window. Click the icon to view details about your device.

iTunes is still a thing on Windows.
>>
>>108553132
blah blah blah you are wrong. no one who actually has an iPhone still uses antiquated iTunes on a pc. the Apple Devices app is way better. you wouldnt know this youve never owned a modern iPhone. You only come here to make fun of then. so please cope.
>>
>>108553119
this is the way. other anons full of it kek.
>>
>>108553147
Apple literally still offers iTunes on Windows you retard, you apparently can't read the AI slop summary you posted where IT LITERALLY SAYS Apple is still phasing out iTunes on Windows 10/11.

I had an iPhone Air but got sick of the limitations of iOS, no I didn't use iTunes or "Apple Devices" because I don't use Windows. But please continue to tell us about how you're so modern and enlightened because you use a different program to get the iOS drivers on your Microslop Wangdows.
>>
>>108553346
You gotta learn to not lash out like a child when you're wrong. No one has used iTunes in YEARS. KEK. >>108553119 I'm sure you had a air and got rid of it for some made up limitations.

My little brother even knows how to get free music on his iPhone without a computer lol it aint hard at all
