you guys were right. oneui is the superior Android experience. im sorry. no i dont have a gun to my head. i said this by my own free will

N

Is that from Tokyo's 7 sisters

So there is practically no flagship Android phone with sd888 that is under 6inches.
I'm looking for sd888 because of the new ps2 emulator. I have long commute and there is no reception in subway. Kinda fucked honestly.
The only one I've found is zenphone8 but apparently the battery life is shit. So idek.

Is this a decent buy? I don't have service with the carriers that are listed.

Serious question will China spy on my shit if I get a chink phone? There's not a lot of phones I see with a good camera, battery life and also has nfc, a headphone jack, and a micro SD card slot without being filled to the brim with bloatware. There's not much that fits that criteria

Hey yall, my best friend's car, laptop, and phone all shit themselves within the past 2 weeks. I plan on gifting him about a $400 phone to help him get by.

We live in America and he has at&t as his carrier. What phone would you recommend at this price point, and what marketplace do yall recommend buying phones from? Amazon? Newegg?

Pixel 5a

Galaxy A52s literally ticks all these boxes. No need to go chink

Battery life is relative. I wouldn’t describe the Zenfone 8’s as shit but yeah it’s not great either. The phone randomly bricking should be a bigger concern.
Incidentally, I was going to buy the Zenfone 8 Flip because I like the design and the camera gimmick but man it’s just a Zenfone 7 with a newer SoC. They didn’t upgrade the display, the haptics, wireless charging nothing. Why did they pour everything into the small tuna?

imagine paying close to 1k for a phone

>same shit as s21U

>not even a charger in the box
>same resolution screens as 2019 or worse
Wtf is even the appeal of these anymore? They're just fuckhuge slabs of glass and half AI cameras that are going backwards in specs and features. Samsung really jewed out hard after the S10+

>and half AI cameras that are going backwards in specs and features
Imbecile

>while 2019 S10 had a 12GB/1TB model
lmao I never knew s10+ had 12gb and 1tb what the fuck is wrong with samsung, why do they keep downgrading, what is their endgame?

I have the 1TB version of the S10+, pretty comfy.
But it looks like I won't buy another Samsung ever again because all their flagships removed the headphone jack now.

it's a shame it has a punch hole, otherwise it might be the best smartphone they made
>But it looks like I won't buy another Samsung ever again
I was thinking the same but nowadays it seems like all manufacturers ditched the headphone jack, sd card slot and a charger
I'm guessing my next phone will be either sony xperia 5 iii/iv or basic galaxy s22 on sale
