guys here me out, i'm torn between Samsung A34/A54, Motorola G Stylus and Google Pixel 6a
i hate Knox and how it doesn't allow me to install Custom ROMs, Motorola is ok but it looks like fucking shit(also is Chinese), Pixel seems very promisin EXCEPT it doesn't have an SD card
which one should i buy

A54, although A52s would be better if you don't care about updoots.

It's fine for regular use, web browsing, media consumption, social media etc. Theres alot of disdain toward it (rightfully so) because Europe would get exynos while elsewhere the same phone would get the objectively superior snapdragon chip.

That depends entirely on the quality of both the USB C DAC and the phone's DAC. LG's higher end phones were well known for high quality DACs. As for good USB C DACs, you'd have to check on /iemg/.

Techlet here. How to smartphone?
I just want to have budget, quick, responsive and small phone with medium quality camera, miniJack, SDcard, without lags and with a battery that lasts more than a day.
I'm using both proprietary and open source software but I want to have all that stuff simple and convenient, no bullshit MIUI features, no license agreements for fucking keyboard, no additional profiles or extra accounts, cloud solutions, ads
I use my phone for reading pdfs and comics before bed and on the bus, learning languages, youtube, music, grocery discount codes, package tracking, short notes, checking weather and tuning my guitar.
I don't want some extra irremovable apps and "improvments"
extra points for being a cheap (may be several years old but refurbished phone, I don't care)
Is CalyxOS a meme or not? Is there anything like core android? Is there anything like launcher which makes everything simple and not laggy?

I realize bricks get annoying if you replace your phones regularly, but am I supposed to buy a charger separately?

You are supposed to buy a charger and keep that charger. It's not unfair and it's not hard. Motherfuckers act like they don't have 10 chargers already

I think you can just do it with your google account, there's a way to do it

It shouldn't fail on you for at least 10 years. Don't just base your shit on assumptions. A charger is like 20$...

It's a problem when you go without a new phone for 5+ years. Fast charging and all that shit.
--- 92829498

mine is 7 years old and im pretty sure 7 years is enough to get rid of it rather than having the risk of a broken phone because the charger failed.

The 7 series has Tensor G2 while 6/6A have Tensor G1. You can run Termux on pretty much any Android but IIRC the Play Store version is gimped in some way so you should install it from Fdroid. Tensor isn't the absolute fastest but it's more than fine for pretty much everything. I don't regret going for Pixel over Samsung, I know I would be cursing myself if I had got an S23 with its over the top skin.

Calyx is a meme which has been spending their time doing raids against Graphene OS instead of improving their ROM. 

You don't really need any phone in particular to do the things you are requesting. They pretty much all can do all of it. It's just a matter of price, efficiency, and power. You can have something fast, cheap, and good, pick two.

Gentlemen I am trying to pick between two smartphones and this is what it boils down to:

or

>6GB RAM
>Color OS
--- 92832959
>>92832185
buying outright. every other option ends up costing you more, unless the provider is throwing a special deal, and if a phone places such financial burden on you then you probably shouldn't be buying it in the first place. it's probably the only thing dumber than going into debt to buy a car.

Does anyone here like rugged/ milspec phones?

>>92832597
Check out screenshots of both MIUI and Color OS and see which offends you the least. The processors are roughly equivalent in speed, but Snapdragon chips are generally more optimized for in stuff like games. On the other hand, the extra RAM would be nice. Basically a toss up.
--- 92833249
>>92833006
They're generally the same as or much worse than a regular model with a ginormous built in case you can't remove. Some allow you to swap the battery if you are a mega autist. Basically to say, they are memes that still break if you abuse them.

If a smartphone is that much of a financial strain maybe you should reconsider your purchases.
--- 92833334
>>92832185
It was cheaper to finance in total cost than to buy this phone outright as the carrier provided incentives. In Canada all phones are unlocked and Pixels generally can be bootloader unlocked and install Graphene just fine (unlike some US models). Pretty much no downside besides having to pay extra (equivalent to the retail price without the incentive) if I wanted to ditch my carrier early, I've been with them for 8+ years.

In Russia "plans" are virtually nonexistent, so everyone buys phone outright. Buying phone using a loan (usually iphone) considering as bad idea by most of people. Everyone will call you an idiot.

Do you find you don't have enough horsepower for daily tasks or even games (besides unoptimized Genchink Impact)? Do you crave a more cluttered UI and significantly less options in terms of custom software (read about KNOX e-fuse)? By all means make the switch. Most people will see absolutely no positive differences. 

Oh, and be sure to update. Samsung can't code so until a couple days or weeks ago the keyboard was draining hella battery. Maybe OneUI 6 will actually be good. Look forward to it.

They're all interesting in their own way. I like Lynx and Niagara and Smart Launchers. They all do something different. It's nice to use the stock launcher just so you don't have choice paralysis but there is decent options out there.

Just don't use Nova because they are selling your analytics (bought by a company that is mostly interested in profiling users' habits)

I hated oneUI back when it was called touchwiz, so much so that I switched to cyanogenmod when touchwiz died and became Samsung experience and eventually oneUI, which was just as bad in its earlier iterations (1-3 specifically). something changed from oneUI 4 onwards though, and it suddenly became the premiere flagship skin for android that actually included useful features that couldn't easily be baked into unrooted stock pixel android while cutting out must of the bloat that used to plague samsung. stuff like per-app volume controls, bubbled apps with dual screen apps, multi-page screenshots, secure apps, and more. while the suite is still packed with unnecessary stuff like Bixby, nearby share, AR experience etc, it's still a great improvement over ye olden days. while modern smartphone skins either come with too much shit (coloros, funtouch, miui), or too little (Sony, Google), it's nice to have a manufacturer that's fighting for a nice balance between good QOL features and a smooth UI, and with OneUI 5 I'd argue they're the best in the industry now.

but I can still track it around. Its went around town, stopped at a house, becomes unreachable for a few hours, done it over again.

Is there any way to take RAW DNG photos with this?
I don't think I can root it, it's a prepaid tracfone thing. I'm not using it as my phone I'm looking to repurpose it for some other shit since it's not half bad for what it is and taking some timelapses with it would be nice but not if it's stuck with the ugly phone-processed JPEG outputs. Those are useless to me.

If I can't do anything I guess I'll keep it around as a wireless access device for USB tethering or a webcam with droidcamobs but if possible I'd love to get DNGs from it.

I've been using my old Android smartphone as a dedicated handheld emulation device, because unlike Apple's products, Android smartphones barely retain their value, even Samsung ones really, especially if they aren't flagship ones... anyways, it's been working quite well, I've been enjoying my new smartphone and I'm glad that I could find some use for my old one, messing around with some emulators has been fun, RetroArch Plus is probably my favorite to use with a telescopic controller, and Lemuroid is the one I like the most for just taking the thing to places without anything attached to it. Anyways, my GF has seen what I've been up to and she really liked it, she's not really into anything new, just Master System and SNES, which she grew up with... anyways, what's up with iOS? In Android I can just go on the Play Store and there are dozens of emulators, it's almost hard to choose due to how many options you have, but in iOS there was nothing... what's up with that? How do I install simple multi system emulators on her iPhone without breaking it? I never use Apple products so I'm unfamiliar with them.

You don't.

Wait until sideloading is a thing because Apple doesn't allow them on the App Store.

Damn... I thought Apple was a pain already, but now I'm sure. Is there really no way to just install a simple SNES and/or Master System emulator on my GFs iPhone 12 without risking breaking the whole thing in the process? What a shame, she'd have loved to play some Bomberman on the go, I guess I could give her an old Android smartphone I have laying around, but she always complains about not knowing how to use Android and, well, having to carry a whole new device just defeats the whole purpose.

Damn you, Apple.

If you jailbreak it, then yes, but otherwise, your best bet is to use a website application and then provide your own ROMs. One of them is Eclipse.

You're going to take a performance hit but it is better than nothing for iToddlers.

use altstore/sideloadly
you cant run new emulators, but snes/ some retroarch stuff should be doable

apparently you're going to be able to sideload apps on the next update, so there may be a chance

Anon... this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! I'm sure she's going to love it, this simplicity and ease is just perfect for her.

>>92859861
I appreciate the suggestion, in case something goes wrong with Eclipse this could be what I end up going for so she can play. Thank you!

I hope that really does happen, and soon, I have no idea why iOS has to be so restrictive, I'm glad she couldn't convince me to make the switch.

P.S. Nice quads, anon!

i bought a pixel 6a this week, and coming from a samsung s9 it's been a great upgrade so far. the screen is nice and big, and feels nice to touch, and the vibration is fun. i like the new material theme. the new gesture navigation is also nice. good performance too, idk how this is mid range. one of my only complaints so far is that the fingerprint reader flashes really bright and makes my eyes feel uncomfy unlocking it in the dark. but admittedly fingerprint locking is bad opsec so i should probably be using a pin anyway. over all a very solid phone even if its full of gulag spyware
