Ignore scamshills

Just let me buy a Pixel 6a already. I wan to fuck around with GrapheneOS.

why not just get a 5a? The 6a is going to be the same minus the headphone jack

Since I got the s22u delivered to me today, does someone want me to test something?
I'm going to bed so I'll check tomorrow.

What the fuck did you do to get it so early? Who did you order it from?

>samshit

>only exynos
>but literally from now on and ever
lol I am buying a 2yo unused iPhone for 500eur
fuck all shills

>After using the Galaxy S22 Ultra for the past four days as my daily driver, it’s safe to conclude that compromise is something this phone refuses to do. It’s symbolic of the Galaxy Note phones of past years, offering the best of everything that Samsung has to offer. Yes, there’s no headphone jack, no expandable storage, nor a charger in the box, but the number of people who truly still care about these are few and far between.

fucking hell reading this shit makes me want to vomit. and it's especially bad considering it's coming from xda-dev

Sweden, Elgiganten.

Bro the SOTs are a fucking joke lmao

Only thing people care about is charger in the box, that being a trend now is stupid.

>compromise is something this phone refuses to do

ikr?
>yeah we barely got over 6 hrs with this babe on a 5000mAh battery fukkin gottem xD

Just face it bro
You're obsolete

fuck you yo mama's titties are obsolete now give me my fucking microsd slot back

>In four days, I’m yet to get below 38% despite a whole day’s usage, and usually, this is with more than 4 hours of screen-on usage.
> I’d guess that it can last a solid 36 hours on a single charge and deliver at least 6 hours screen on time.
fucking lol I get 7-8 on my pixel 6 and that's nowhere near best in class either
new snappies are way too power hungry

>While the S22 Ultra keeps the 5,000mAh battery capacity of its predecessor, the other two phones come with smaller power packs, and the consequences of this are among the things we're most curious to look into. There are a lot of variables that go into this, including the smaller displays, more advanced adaptive refresh rate, newer chipsets, and all that, but we're never particularly enthused to hear about a reduced battery capacity. And while the S21+ was no slouch in terms of endurance, the S21 left us wanting, and we fear the S22 won't be a step in the right direction.
>it's new bro just trust us it's better than last gen

absolute state

wired headphones are obsolete
phones dont have 16gb of storage anymore, expandable storage is obsolete
everyone already has a drawer full of chargers, im surprised they still include the cable as well

manufacturers are right in getting rid of them all

On an iPhone SE 2 if that counts. Maybe those who took scamsungs bait will learn to love battery cases

Wish someone would release a truly modular phone (or tablet) so it effectively becomes a mini PC desktop. I know there have been companies that have let you dig into the system and replace parts but being able to upgrade without buying a whole new phone would be huge.

post nose

Not available here. Import fees would make it as expensive as a Pixel 6. Also 5 years of updates instead of 3 sounds neat. The GrapheneOS website claimed they require them for their fork. And honestly I think the 6 lineup looks much more premium but that's just a plus.

Hey it’s your money. Invest it how you like.

>expandable storage is obsolete
Some phones still only ship with 64 GBs

>yes goyim trust us you only need 512gb of soldered on memory you can't possibly have hentai collections 513gb or bigger???

for sammyshit users - do you find it worth it to permanently trip the knox fuse by rooting?

Also I hope to see UFS 3.1 in the 6a as we got in the 6 instead of 2.1. 30W fast charging would be neat as well.

if it punishes coombrains without PCs it's objectively a good thing

Rooted my phone, how should i remove default bloatware apps? rm via adb?

>Try Android 10 after 4 years of 8.1
>Try to use phone as hotspot
>For some reason there's a data cap setting on both the Settings app and some damned Security app

It's a Redmi 9a, btw. Is this chink bloat or android bloat? Damn.

Any reason to get an android tablet over an Apple iPad if I have an android phone?
