Is it true that Americans get mad if you have a green text bubble?

I'm liking the pixel 10a so far. More phones should lack a camera bump.

I asked in the last thread, but my question got buried in the resident schizo's rant: what are the biggest differences between the Oneplus Nord 5 and the 15R? I understand the latter has a better screen, larger battery, esim support, and marginally faster soc. Am I missing anything?

Ultrasonic fingerprint reader instead of optical, 8g5 instead of 8sg3, bigger battery, better IP rating and UFS 4.1 instead of 3.1. I reckon the Nord is cheaper?

kids too chicken to post they/thems very old smartphone with a timestamp. no izzat.

>>108942201
Here the Nord 5 is about €350 for 8/256, and the 15R €500 for 12/256. I don't need more storage than 256GB since I self host most of my media. €150 (almost 50% extra) feelt like a lot for the difference, hence I wondered if there was something I was missing.

>>108942519
the OnePlus has a higher durability rating, faster soc, faster storage and a better display. nord is a mid ranger and the 15r is a mid ranger with some flagship specs. it depends if those things matter to you or not to justify the small amount of extra money.

Used a samsung 25 ultra for 30 days, terrible phone.

OneUI is slow and tacky, very weird and non uniform design choices, battery life was absolutely terrible, worse than my old iphone levels. Camera stuttered hard when taking photos and overall felt very unintuitive to use. Its a fast phone sure, but the software is terrible on it.

Switched to oneplus 15 with oxygenOS and I'm liking it. I really dont care that its a clone of apple, because its a really good clone and its smooth. I use the button for gemini way too often.

Its a very fast flagship phone, and battery life is insane. I'll use it for a day, be at 70% and then use it the next day and be at 50% and then the next day is when it will be near 15% at the end and I'll have to charge it which it has fast charging in 30 minutes.

I read that they're stopping phone production but apparently they will still provide updates for existing models:
>The brand will still offer maintenance, software updates, and warranty services for existing smartphones
https://www.gsmarena.com/confirmed_asus_is_exiting_the_smartphone_market_-news-71158.php

So if you were to get an Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra (released last year) you would still get 4 years of security updates because they said they would give 5 years of updates after release:

>>108950464
If you think GREEN LINES (a hardware problem) magically occurs because Samsung updated your phone and not due to damaged hardware you are an idiot.

Probably what happened is the heat from doing the update triggered the problem happening, caused by previous damage and/or drops to the phone.

EVERY phone with an OLED screen can have this issue. iPhones get green/purple lines too, both the ones with Samsung screens and that other manufacturers (LG, BOE). It is not caused by software.

Besides that video is suspect, how did the brown hand man know there would be a green line after the update? Suspicious.

what’s the best move for someone who wants to try (lol) dropping out of having a smartphone to end a doomscrolling habit? Just go for the obvious like Nokia 110 4G? Or is there even something extra nostalgic on the market with a monochrome display and monophonic ringtones plus super long battery life?

It's weird, but not unexpected, that the S25 Edge got shit on by critics, whereas the tech industry collectively fellated the iPhone Air. Even though the Air:

>>108968573
It's not that. I specifically had to turn on swipe left to go back on good lock. It didn't do it from the right until I updated today. It also doesn't have the same animation

>>108968588

It is. Also, good lock is a bit iffy no? Sending your texts to whoever runs it, probably.

>>108968716
Good lock is made by Samsung. Also if that's it then I can't turn it off without turning off gestures wtff

I just went with the oneplus 15 because it supports verizon with visible. Been using it for a couple days just got it in the mail, its very smooth and no complaints here on the software side. Software is really clean and smooth and emulates apple while being better.

I used the iphone 17 pro max for the last week it was so terrible I had to send it back.

Screen felt like it was 50hz stutterfest with choppy animations. Shocking a phone that costs $1300 feels like a $70 prepaid phone. I'm glad apple has a generous 14 day return policy though, so don't know when I'll get it back.

I did the same thing when the 14 pro max came out and tried it and I returned.

I've seen $150 motorola budget phones with dimensity chips that are smoother than an iphone because they have 120hz screens now, albiet LCD.
The software is atrocious. I might switch to apple if they put a 120hz always on mode and fix ios 26 completely. For now its unusable for me.

It's pretty obvious the test failed to run properly on the samsung for the GPU test and it just didn't run one of the tests, which is why the score is ~1/2 or less of what it should be, because it literally didn't run half the GPU bench.

Just testing issues, not a lack of performance by samsung.

Unless you genuinely think the SD8 gen 5 scores less than half the GPU score of an SD8 gen 5 OC.

>108971864
>opinionated misinformation sprinkled with cope
Linus tech tips covered the Red Magic 11s as being the most powerful smartphone, they mentioned the s26 ultra could NOT complete testing without thermal crashing. With all that being said I still enjoy my rm11 pro and oneplus 15. sad they arent able to stay cool during heavy loads.

is the galaxy Z fold 6 'good enough'? I'm very interested in a folding phone, but I have like 1 hour of screen time per day so I ain't spending over €1k on such a device.

>>108971889
What is the misinformation?

Do you HONESTLY think an S26U scores HALF the GPU score of a OP15?

Like actually, you REALLY think it has less than half the GPU horsepower in real world scenarios?

Why would you choose a phone over a tablet? If you're going to get a physical controller to use with it, the the phone being smaller than a tablet doesn't make it more portable because a controller isn't particularly portable, it just seems like you're getting worse thermals, a smaller battery, and a smaller screen for no real benefit

S26U's display is slightly worse in viewing angles and eye strain because of privacy display. It's more rounded corners also makes it have slightly less usable display area than the S25U
On the other hand does have a better chipset and one extra year of software update over the 25

hello frens
im in need of a new phone. my note 20 ultra 5g is dying. I hate smartphones but society forces me into one. If I could Id have a portable small computer running linux instead of the dogshit that ios and android are.
That being said I heard android was gonna lock phones from installing whatever programs u want on it like apple does. how true is that?
Whats the most "free" phone I can get that doesnt treat me like i am a geriatric 80 year old who clicks on indian scams?
budged is not an issue

Yep, it's like I never left.
I like my new 16 Pro Max btw. iOS vs Android differences are overblown online. The main issue is lack of "long press for symbols" (e.g. @ $ # %) without going to a second keyboard symbols page on both the basic keyboard, gboard and even swiftkey. Typing is kinda shit. Otherwise great software.

Is there anything better than pixel 10 pro xl, if I don't play games and need a clean android without bloatware?

Holy shit, fuck eBay and fuck anyone here who said "just buy it, ebay has good protection"

Bought a NIB Pixel 8Pro to replace my dead 6Pro.
Seller is in China, eBay says Texas, phone shipped from California.
Shit comes in a factory box, sealed, everything looks legit
Phone is an obvious refurb with a S/N and IMEI sticker on the back.
IMEI info says black phone, ordered blue phone.
Phone has scuff marks on the back, and around the internal lens bezel
Installed battery tracking app, nearly 300 charge cycles, battery reduced by 12%
Leave phone fully charged, dropped from 100% to 85% overnight
Return the phone, seller refunds only 50%
Open eBay claim, 15 minutes later I get a full refund (good protection, huh)
Wasted 2 fucking weeks of my time on this shit.
Pic related is probably the same seller selling the same, factory refurbished phones.
eBay wont do shit, my 1 negative review dont do shit either.

I still need a new phone. I cant find a NIB Pixel 8Pro anywhere. I tired FB, Swappa.com, and other reseller websites.
Nothing is NIB, most are (((((good condition)))))
No, I am NOT buying a used phone with scratches on the screen. My phones stay in case and have screen protectors their entire life. I cannot stand scratched screens. I go through 4-6 screen protectors per phone. I replace them as soon as they break or get a scratch.
Guess I'll have to go to a T-Mobile store and see what they offer.
PS im broke and cant afford a new $800 phone.

Why not VIII? Newer better

File: NEWXPERIA.png (2.3 MB)

Just checked and they brought back silver for the Xperia 1 VIII, very nice. Don't like the iPhone-esque cameras though, wish they kept them vertical. Jumping from 6gb RAM to 12gb/16gb will also be nice but at most I only really play Honkai Impact 3rd (lightly now, I just wanna see the skins I got in-use.) Any notable use cases for 16gb RAM on a phone? Ultimately this is just for the aesthetics and to leave the Apple ecosystem behind, I'd jump back to Android right now but all I have is an S8+ on standby bought new with a battery life you can imagine from playing trendy mobile and gacha games.

>>108978779
Absolutely right, silver is back so now it's just 12gb vs 16gb.

Aight you got me... wait, what's bokeh?
>looks it up, it's a Japanese term
So it has sovl? Yeah, more of that please. But no, I also noticed the slapped-on "Xperia Intelligence" AI buzzword thing. Shovel-ware aside, anything that's better than a 14 Pro Max is good for me. The biggest counterpoint is the partial compatibility here in the States though this bricked Xperia Z2 was a fun experiment while it lasted before Google dropped support and my slow-ass thought it was a good move to factory reset it. Stuck at trying to connect to the Google Play Store now (tossing this out there IF there's any fix.)

Just kind of tired of Samsung you know? It was my first flagship and I thought it'd be funny to have an iPhone for a while but a few drops later and the zoom above 3x is dead for about a year now. Tried out an S22 Ultra before jumping into the Apple hype train, didn't really feel it, and now I'm stuck with a California-designed Little Tikes phone that can't zoom good anymore so an upgrade is inevitable. If I go Apple again I'd do the 16 Pro Max 'cuz muh titanium and it wouldn't look much different than the current one BUT I wanna go back to Android and if I'm doing that I want something nice.

In short; aesthetics > performance, I don't play gacha as much anymore and even if I do I have a laptop and such. Camera upgrade would be nice too, the only thing stopping from going 100% on the Xperia 1 VIII is the compatibility in the ol' US.

>>108979313

How bad would it be if I got a phone that no longer receives security updates?
For eg, what if I'm still using a "Pixel 7" after 2027?

>>108977386
Not really, although you can check LineageOS supported devices for alternatives. But if you unlock the bootloader (a necessary step for Lineage/Graphene/etc) you end up not being able to use some apps, including some games (like Balatro) and some banking apps. So maybe the Pixel is still the play.

>>108979498
Thanks, I'll take pixel then.

>>108979393
It won't suddenly stop working, it just won't be updated against new exploits which are found often. Which is bad for security.

You could swap to LineageOS and get updated OS software (but not drivers), but it makes theft protection null and void. Any thief can grab your phone, flash it, remove the SIM, and then use/sell the device due to LineageOS requiring an unlocked bootloader. A locked bootloader and theft protection enabled means they MIGHT be able to use it for parts, worst case scenario for the thief is they get a paperweight.

Any thoughts on IodeOS vs /e/OS?

>>108980859
Never heard of iodéOS before but it seems just like LineageOS with microG and some firewall.

/e/OS has flaws but I'd run it if (or when) they support my device. It's more of an "ecosystem" replacement. You get Murena services along with the same microG. The launcher is pretty nice albeit barebones, been trying to get it on my phone but can't find a recent build. It also makes GrapheneOS devs seethe so I'm all for it.

Thoughts on the Poco M8 Pro? I'm able to get the 12/512 version for under £300.
