On the fence between 11 pro, 12 and 12 mini.

I'd just get off that fence if I were you.

12 has 5g, shorter battery life, lighter to hold, and appeals to basic bitches (if at all)
11 pro has 4g, longer battery life, a little heavier to hold, and is a chick magnet as a 'pro' user
everything else is trivial in my opinion unless you really use them (telephoto, slightly faster chip, magsafe, etc).
Don't get the 12 mini, just pay up to the 13 mini if you really want the sub 6" form factor

My Pixel 3a is starting to die after just 2 years. Shit battery capacity, glitches out the ass... I don't think I'll be sticking with Googlephones no more.

Year of the Linux smartphone? xD

Thanks for new pape

>dropped my phone
>minor scratch
Is Corning Gorilla Glass a scam? Seems so easy to scratch the screen

Should I get the a52s 5g or bite the bullet to buy the Samsung S22 Ultra instead? I am not sure how good bluetooth headphones are and I always used a headphone jack.

There's a trade off, the more harder (scratch resistant), the more brittle. Surely you'd rather scratch the glass than shatter it.

>Don't get the 12 mini, just pay up to the 13 mini if you really want the sub 6" form factor
You mean for the slightly larger battery?

Yea, it lasts as long as the 12 and 12 pro, pretty much making it the best >smol phone currently (and will be for years since its their last iteration).

Mandatory post for each thread:

- if you want a phone with an SD card and headphone jack, get an Xperia
- if you want a phone with a removable battery, get an Xcover
- don't fall for the iPhone SE meme with its dogshit screen and dogshit battery
- Pixel 6, S22 and iPhone 13 Pro lineup are the best camera phones
- Flagship phones today are on the same level as high end compact cameras
- OneUI4 is currently the best version of Android out there
- iOS isn't "More secure"

Let me know if I missed anything

>its their last iteration
I think they went too small, something in the middle of the mini and the regular would be nice for a lot of people.

WHERE ARE MY IPS PHONES?
I'M TIRED OF THIS BUNT OUT AMOLED SHIT

Should I stop fantasizing about mobile banking on the Pinephone Pro and just get the Moto G Power and some privacy stickers that don't leave residue like regular stickers?

If money wasn't an issue,
S22 Plus or Ultra?

I'm torn.

FFS, go to the shop and check them all. It's more like curved vs flat screen, a pen + better cameras. I don't know what your preference are

Im gonna keep anti shill Xperia. Sony is trash. Their devices are bad. If you want headphone and SD slot, get Samsung mid range.

get the normal one ffs or just go tablet

iPhone SE 2022

You're welcome

I have a more pressing question. What got you to get the T-Mobile LG V60 over the AT&T LG V60 when the latter is cheaper?

The problem isn't with the GPU, it's with Samsung's foundries.

6 and 6 Pro can't even beat 5a lmao.

Moto G100, Moto G200, iPhone SE
