Global Top Used Smartphones Aug-Sept
>>110132845Absolutely unfathomably based OP and based baker as usual!!!!! Getting my first Oppo soon. :^)
>>110132845When will Android processors catch-up to Apple's A20?
>>110133007It's a powerful SOC but I still wouldn't buy the latest iPhone as iOS is too restrictive and locked down. I can do far more with an Android phone.
>>110132867>android 67.3 %>apple 32.7 %Wow, apple iPoor iPoop won!
>>110133312You can’t combine smartphone brands that compete against each and than change the graph to mobile os. It’s not the same thing goofy. lol lmao even. Are you 11?
Global Smartphone Sales For 2024 and 2025.
>>110133007Yeah the A20 is so powerful for the 1 minute in single core performance before it has to throttle lolChip designed to game benchmark tests.
>>110133412>retarddoesntunderstandgraphsWhy the insult?>>110133312Android is the dominant global OS for mobile phones and because that many OEM's use the firmware, competition breeds technical innovation and reduces RRP. Apple used to sell mid range specs for premium prices because their OS was highly optimised. Competition from Android has pushed Apple to compete and surpass other OEM's in some key areas, e.g. powerful SOC's.
>>110133482Wrong and completely made up. You explained the s26 ultra tbqh.New In Depth Tech Review video.The Galaxy S26 Ultra overheated causing it to crash and its temperature reached 47°C while the Pixel 11 Pro XL was lagging and the iPhone 18 Pro Max was running smoothly during the heavy workload test.https://youtu.be/dVqVGMPsZ-M?is=JRXfeOXAqj8kvPVQ
>>110133611Please stop posting the truth here with evidence. I can’t handle it. :(
A20 Pro is the looksmaxxed gigachad mogger of mobile chips that can run GTA V
>>110133676>run gta vNot that impressive. A Snapdragon 8 gen 1, a SOC from 2021 can do that.
>>110133685Not without lower settings and getting so hot it crashes.
OnePlus 15 my beloved
>>110133714Not at all. A 2019 SD865 can run it on an emulator. Apple banned emulators on iOS until 2024 and now all of sudden it's something to brag about!
>>110133752Once again it runs on very low settings unlike the 4k on high settings the a20 pro breezes by with.
>>110133750>>110132919I was part of the OxygenOS beta testing up until OOS12 when they suddenly reassigned the engineering team and merged it with ColorOS. The firmware was a mess and I moved on to other things. Now that OnePlus has retreated from the global market, I'd avoid Oppo; impressive tech but their software is bloated and they lock their bootloaders. I'm waiting to order a Motorola Signature 27.
>>110133853ColorOS is goated though. Silky smooth.
firefox being killed by hyperos fixed in upcoming 159 releasehttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2079728
>>110133873OxygenOS and indeed, HydrogenOS were better.
>>110133254>iOS is too restrictive and locked downiOS does have less ads and malware. Good point.
>>110133847Of course it does, it's the latest SOC. Bragging like a Top Trumps game has been won is pretty pitiable.

>>110134095What you posted made no sense though. You’re 100% talking about yourself. lol.This: >>110134022 makes absolutely no sense.
>>110134007Yes, because there's no malware on iOS or advertising.https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Malware_for_iOShttps://www.techradar.com/phones/iphone/i-wish-apple-would-just-stop-that-crap-apple-has-added-persistent-ads-to-ios-and-its-driving-users-crazy
>>110134118Is it my fault you can't comprehend written English?
>>110133611Seems about right. I love my S26 Ultra and I love all the amazing things it can do for about 90 seconds before it's too hot to hold.
>>110134159That wasn’t coherent English though
>>110134165And yet you bought one even though allegedly their batteries explode and their screens green line after an update?
>>110134193Bought?
>>110134146Saying there's malware on ios is like saying there's oxygen on the moon. Sure there is some but come on, it's not even comparable to Android. Especially the rooted, easily exploitable versions all the rage here.
>last small 5g smartphone with physical button is the iPhone SE 3If we don't already live in hell I don't know what it is...
>>110134180It made perfect sense. I'm not going to dumb down just for you. I suggest you apply yourself more at school and studies, especially in English language classes.
>>110134227 No it didn’t make any sense. lol lmao even.

>>110134598Get a job or save up anon, you'll get there. Good luck.
>>110134607Is your surname Jandali because you're awfully invested in the whole "Apple supremacy" ethic? You're comparing a brand new 2nm SOC with 3nm last gen 2025/2026 chips and a Tensor SOC which, if it was a human being. would be diagnosed with all three major types of retardation.

CREASE
Uh oh anons!
>>110138192Here's your high quality antireflective screen!
Its only a matter of time, graphene will be forced to bend the knee...
>>110135477True
>>110135477>>110138284Android is never beating these allegations.
Do you guys have RealMe in America? Here in Russia it's pretty popular. I just boughted RealMe for myself and my family and it's excellent. Devices ranging from $200 to $350, all run smoothly. Tested C85, 15 5G, P4 Power - all are fantastic and fast. P4 Power is especially cool, with 10,000maph battery.
>>110138320Very nice Russia anon, they are the third most popular smartphone brand in India as well. I see the direct correlation between the two countries and why they would choose to buy such low cost budget friendly devices.
>>110138334I don't really understand why would anyone call RealMe P4 a budget device. It's literally top, except for the price. With 12Gb RAM it runs flawlessly. Why would anyone pay more these days? What would you even do on a more expensive decide that would demonstrate it being better? I mean I once boughted Samsung S20 back in 2020 and it was worth it, I suppose, because at the time, other androids weren't as smooth. But these days?
>>110138364A $350 smartphone is not a flagship and it is a budget device. No one’s trying to be rude. We only post facts here.
>>110138378I mean sure, maybe. What I'm trying to say, can you explain to me why would it "feel" budget in everyday use? Because it sure doesn't feel budget to me, it feels great. Even the cheaper RealMe 15 5G is excellent and it's like $250. It sounds to me like price is the only indicator. I just don't understand what would I even get from a $800 Samsung.
>>110138403It’s the year 2026, and you want a random stranger on a website to explain the difference between a budget and flagship smartphone. There are so many reputable places for you to get this information and it’s pretty much common sense too. It’s cool that you like what you bought, but trying to relate it to top-of-the-line flagships is a little ludicrous.
>>110138430I don't think my question is unreasonable. Have you tried actually using any of those so called budget phones? I literally cannot understand what could you improve in the experience. I the same OS and it runs just fine on them. So what's the catch?
>>110138448Sorry, dude I only buy flagships. I would never and could never see myself buying budget phones and publicly walking around with them too, but it’s cool that you don’t mind. I respect you for that but you’re not gonna trick me into thinking it’s the same thing quality, wise and hardware and spec wise lol just cut it out already. If you like it, that’s all that matters at the end of the day. I’m glad that you were happy.
>>110138463Lol, who cares what phone are you walking with, the even look the same these days. Only faggits the the most golddiggest out of golddigging whores would care about your phones. Like I said, a flagship mattered in 2020 (snd even that's stretching it), but these days the look the same, work the same and I am yet to see proof that flagships are better at anything.
>>110138501You’re just making things up to feel better about your very low budget smartphone with extremely mediocre hardware and it’s nowhere near on the same level as a flagship and you’re not convincing anybody here that it is. This is a technology enthusiast board not a budget phone buying board. If you’re having trouble figuring out the differences, why don’t you just do some research pick any flagship and compare it to the SOC in your smartphone, do the same thing with the cameras and end of discussion.
>>110138526> You’re just making things up to feel better about your very low budget smartphoneFYI, I can definitely afford a flagship, but I just don't see the difference. I don't care about specs - what difference do specs make if it runs the same? If you can't answer that with specific examples you're just coping with the fact that you spent extra money to feel privileged, but actually you're not. I tested both flagships and these phones, you only tested flagships, so how would you know?
what's the point of these threads since its just one faggot spamming the same posts?
>>110138637What’s the point with all your complaining? Is it because you don’t have a brand new flagship to show off here and you’re really salty?

The Great Noticing Continues
>>110132845I hate camera tumors so much.I miss the times when a smartphone's back was as flat as my waifu.
I have used Samsung/Android all my life because I've always valued having more control over my phone. But now as I get older I feel like I'm doing less and less with that "control". The only non conventional things I do with my phone nowadays are install modded/open source APKs like Revanced, Chance for 4chan, and ytdlnis. My current Samsung flagship is 5 years old now and I wanted to update to the latest one but the amount of AI Samsung has been pushing really turns me off. I really do not want any sort of generative AI in my camera or photos.What are some other things I'll lose out on if I swap to iPhone? I know there are alternatives for Revanced/Chance and I can ssh into my own server for ytdlnis if needed.
>>110138925Iphones don't let you input private dns. Which is a biggie
>>110134223technically, the home button isn't a physical buttonLast iPhone with a physical home button was the 6s

>>110139115I think they started off providing a solid value proposition. You got a great mix of hardware with clean software.Since then, they've stagnated (you genuinely get smaller camera sensors than on your Pixel 6 Pro), while getting more expensive, banking on their AI nonsense making up for the difference, which it doesn't.
Imagine paying $1000 for this.

>>110135591Thanks, Anon. I have considered Jolla before, but it seems to involve too much tinkering for my tastes.>>110135372Cheers. Black Friday sales it is.
>>110140200Rubbish. Just ask any owners of a Sony phone. OEM's may claim they'll support their phones but there's nothing to stop them from removing support, OS or security updates for a device.>>110141469Your welcome anon. I'm tinkering trying to get SailfishOS running on a Note 10+. It'll install APK's on a compatibility layer so I'm genuinely intrigued. The Nexphone is a little bit too underpowered but I'd love to see a Snapdragon Elite X2 with the same concept. I'd seen someone was running MacOS on an Asus laptop with the same SOC, a Snapintosh. Imagine a device in a mobile form factor that you could plug in an OTG cable and run on a monitor as a desktop. Class.https://videocardz.com/newz/modder-ports-macos-27-to-snapdragon-x2-laptop-now-available-for-download
>>110132845Fuck yeah, imagine that thing deciding to self-immolate in your pocket.
>>110132845Went to the Apple Store this morning on the off chance I could get a duo on walk-in. Unfortunately they had already all been reserved but I did get to go into the store and handle a display model. My thoughts are that at least initially the crease is invisible, I literally could. It seems it. Obviously I know this will change with use. Secondly, the phone feels more well built than the Samsung folds by far. It does not feel like a first gen product at all when it’s in your hand. A lot has been said about its weight. Personally I didn’t think it felt heavy compared to my iPhone 16 pro max. I think you would really need to hold another foldable in your hand at the same time to notice the difference. The inside matte screen looks really really good. I didn’t perceive any degradation in sharpness or color output because of it and it was VERY anti glare. I mean no glare at all. When folded form factor felt fine in my hand and I did a little typing on the front screen and actually preferred it to my current iPhone. That bit of extra width made the keyboard bigger. It kind of felt like I was typing on a touchscreen blackberry. Overall I think it’s already way ahead of the Samsung folds in many many ways.
>>110132845that is 100% going to expand in a few years and be banned from airplanes like samsungs
Why are people buying these foldable phones? Doesnt the crease piss you off?
>>110141605why do you ant to be left behind?
>>110141605You get used to it. After a while you just don't notice it.
>>110141650>>110141680Its the sort of thing that my OCD ass would notice and be bothered by every time I used the damn thing. I'll just stick to having a tablet in my backpack I think until some wonder material is invented that allows for creaseless folds.

>>110142343I was also surprised by the lack of texture on the inside display. It really didn’t feel all that different from the front glass to my finger tips. I also couldn’t feel anything below the folding screen. It just felt perfectly flat and smooth. Mine is supposed to come in mid to late November as well but oh well. One of the store employees told me they will probably getting more phones in in the coming days but they won’t know exactly when so it may still be possible to get one this week if you’re persistent and enough.

Duo vs Fold8 screen comparison
>>110142986I’ve seen the duo in person. It doesn’t look like that.
>>110143008Another comparison.
>>110142986>>110143034So the Duo screen isn't as bright because of the matte finish of the screen?
>>110143049Yes.
>>110143057>apple's engineering relies on a specialized nano-texture technology combined with micro-lenses (micro-dots) etched into a custom polymer layer>rather than using standard glass, this layer is built pixel-by-pixel using maskless laser lithography to create a perceptually flat, matte finishReally?! I thought the matte finish was built into the screen itself and not just the screen protector. And it looks like they've bought a cheap screen protector off Amazon.
>>110143008Yes you’re right, it’s an anon with a very old phone seething.
>>110141605If you go looking for it, yes you will see it. Once you start using any foldable the crease will more or less disappear because you'll be too absorbed in whatever you're doing to notice it. I thought punch hole cameras would annoy the shit out of me, then I ended up getting a phone with one and it turns out your brain ignores it like how your brain ignores the bridge of your nose between your eyes.
>>110143133True enough. I had a Fold 4 with a hidden inscreen camera and the low density pixels on that part of the screen annoyed me more than a hole punch black camera hole.
>>110143107KEK.
>>110142566I have the same ANUS watch. I bought it just for that.
>>110143179Huh? >>110138192
>>110143179My Fold 8 was the same. Looks flat out of the box and even with the supposed titanium bar mechanism, after a while the crease appears. Again, it's a quirk of the screen tech that will become unnoticeable for Apple users.
I need to get a new smartphone soon because my GPS on my oneplus nord n20 keeps dropping out at the worst possible times and it's probably time, my banking apps will drop support for Android 12 in the next year or 2 probably.Should i get the moto g stylus (2026)?If only because it still has a headphone jack and expandable storage and an active (not capacitive) stylus and every other 256gb/8gb phone at $500 doesn't have expandable storage and I feel like my window is closing to still be able to buy a mid-ranger with expandable storage before they inevitably get rid of it next year with the 2027 model.I know you can also get a oneplus 12R and a Pixel 10a at this price range but the expandable storage thing is kinda non-negotiable to me, I save fucktons of images and never delete anything and need 1TB storage with me.
Pixel anons your thoughts?
>>110140701Kino!!!!
>>110142706That’s very common for the high end snapdragons, they never are capable of sustaining the peak performance they claim. Many devices running Qualcomm chips thermal throttle and crash. See: >>110133611

>>110143179I've done nothing but fold my duo today and it doesn't look like this.

>>110143998>I've done nothing but fold my duo todaylol thanks
>>110144016Why has no one until now come up with a flat bar behind the screen and over the hinge that pushes up when you open the phone to level the crease?
>>110144063He can get the screen replaced quickly for $1400 as he's still in the store. Hopefully he got Apple Care.

>>110143965I'm not the one who's invested in proving it's a hoax. Fold tech is fragile, it breaks easily.>why didn't any of the duos crack that were fold tested hundred of thousands of timesYou really don't have a clue what you're talking about, do you. Consumer electronics break. Just because a random phone is pulled off the production line and passes all the barrier tests doesn't mean you won't have multiple FIF from that production run.
I've bought 4 screen protectors and failed each of them. For the life of me I want get it without having dust underneath. I tried to do it in my bathroom after taking a shower and even then it didn't work. How the fuck are you supposed to put one?

Hey negroids
>>110132845Has there been any incidents involving silicon carbon batteries, or a series of phones using said batteries that had to be retired, recalled or whatever because they failed?
Recommend me a phone please guys.I have been using an A52 for the past 5 years or so. It's just a youtube machine for when I'm bored at work or driving. But my job makes me travel sometimes and carrying my personal laptop in addition to my work laptop sucks. And getting my personal gaming laptop out on a plane is a pain in the ass due to space. I bought Viture Beast glasses so that I could watch tv or movies on my phone without getting my laptop out but it doesn't support video over USB-C. So now I need a new phone. And if I'm going to buy a new phone I might as well buy a nice one that can play games so that I can just leave the laptop at home.A coworker has a set up where he plugs his phone into a hub, connects a portable display and connects an xbox controller. Then uses DEX or something to connect to his home pc, so he's playing first-person shooters off of his home PC at the office. It seems kind of convoluted but if it means I can put on my Beast glasses and use a wireless keyboard and mouse, with my phone still in my pocket, and game off of my PC hundreds of miles away then I'd be all about that. Or if I'm in a hotel and I can access my home PC with my glasses for a monitor and keyboard and mouse or controller for inputs that would save having to carry my expensive laptop with me on flights and risk it getting damaged.Any advice? I don't really know where to begin getting this set up. But I know I'll need a new phone.

Why isn't Samsung or Apple using silicon carbon batteries?

>>110149599Also theirs MANY complaints about Samsung smartphones getting green lines from software updates which causes overheating and the device melts from the inside. Truly remarkable engineering placing ribbon connectors next to the SOC.

>>110149960Yeah, you can still buy HTC phones but they're low to midrange models. HTC aren't the market leader they used to be. The HD2 was an anachronism; I can't remember the exact specs but it had a Qualcomm SOC and about 500mg of system memory but you could install pretty much any mobile OS on it, Windows, Android, Ubuntu, Sailfish, it was a fucking beast of a phone.
>>110148442Samsung initially avoided Si/C because first gen Si/C batteries were more prone to degradation than current gen Si/C batteries and needed about 10% of their capacity artificially capped to serve as a sort of buffer zone to prevent accelerated degradation. Current generation Si/C batteries are less prone to degradation and have less of their capacities artificially capped, so I'm guessing this pushed Samsung to finally use it. Samsung started using Si/C with Fold8 series and methinks they'll adopt it for S27 series to reach or exceed Apple's current battery capacity on 18 Pro series.
The best smartphone screen made by Samsung was first released on iPhone.
