Why is the 865+ STILL the last good totl chip? Everything since has been a handwarmer.

>Everything since has been a handwarmer
blame scamsung fabs
qualcomm going back to tsmc for the 8gen1+ and getting significant improvements on power draw despite having a freq increase just goes to show how bad it really is

are LG dual screen cases good for anything? I picked up two for $6 at goodwill, but don't have g8x to try them.

For sure, multi-tasking is easier and the G8x is super cheap eBay right now.

Recs for music players from F-Droid? Should be able to play m4a, opus and flac. Most players I've tried can't do it and mpv-android stops playing when the screen goes off.

>8gen1+
Too bad they're eating into the efficiency gains by overclocking the chip by 10%
That chip could've been a proper 865+ successor

Just bought an used J8 that was supposedly in minty condition but now I realize there's some whitish spots on the borders when the screen is black and also one in the middle when it's all very bright. How fucked am I, how will that affect durability

KNEEL. If you truly are autistic enough about the headphone jack, notchless OLED screen design and SD slot in your phones with flagship specs, the price tag wouldn't be a concern. What's stopping you from voting with your wallet if you're so dissatisfied with the current state of Android phones? Nothing. If you can't afford it, you have no right complaining about samshit and other manufacturers removing features you deem to be essential. Based SONY knows who are their customers and what they want without compromises so they're not afraid to make their phones expensive.

The Sony Xperia 1 IV is not made for the thot, the communist or the tranny. Seethe and dilate.

worth getting the note 20 ultra in today's day and age? live in burgerland, currently have a HK note 10+, and had it since launch. still running android 10, comfy as fuck, but feel like it's time to switch, mainly due to the fact that TMobile might drop support for my phone. should I buy the exynos variant, or buy hk/sk snapdragon version?

Pixel 6A. Is there going to be any real competition for this thing?

>still using a OnePlus 5T
Feels comfy

Was that the one with the pop-up camera?

Beware user

The LG wing was such a cool phone. Too bad it had an old chip at launch. I miss the experimental days of smartphones

>60hz display
You "need" more?

Yes
90hz should be standard on low end phones by now

yes, after using a 120hz screen I can't go back, 60hz now feels laggy and slow

hz display
Lagdroid doesn't benefit from more screen refreshes per second. If anything it makes gestures less responsive.

This but Pro-I to even further dab on poors

What a debil.

How shitty is exynos S22? I wanna something comfy sized
