I'm honestly blown away at just how much worse the Chrome app is on Android. And I'm afraid what other awful things are lurking on the S22 I haven't found yet. I might return and get an iPhone.
Yes. I'm not interested in switching at this time.

You're comparing a Safari skin to Chrome. Different browsers

S20FE or S21 or Note20? For gaymen and camera

Looking at finally taking the Androidpill and switching from my iPhone SE 2020 >Country US >Carrier AT&T >Features Privacy, was looking at GrapheneOS, something smaller but not too small (Roughly the same size as my iPhone) MicroSD card slot would be nice but not required, you get it
Not looking for anything super crazy, just something that works for web browsing and communicating with friends and family, and maybe some vidya 4 teh lulz

S20FE but aren't those options all in different price range? S20FE

>but aren't those options all in different price range? From what I see all of those are under 600 which is my budget

Why are Scamshit and Fapple so slow in the quick charging game? Chink phones went up to 120w in 2020. Meanwhile apple is at a revolutionary 25w while SCAMsung is doing the 45w thats barely stronger than 25w BS they did with the s20u. Wouldnt they really want fast charging since it means more expensive trade ins and replacements from degraded batteries?
install bromite, it is just chromium but has extended optionality, and it has an option to move toolbar down

I was going to get an S20 FE until I learned it had a virtual proximity sensor which makes it a bit wonky to use on calls or may act weird if putting it in your pocket so now I'm not sure
The S21 FE with 256GB/8GB is the equivalent of ~US$595 here right now so I'm considering that heavily instead, the 128/6GB is like ~US$525 so both aren't far off from the S20FE which is around US$430, plus I prob won't change my phone for at least 5 years so the continued support will prob be nicer alternatively I could just get a pixel 6a next month
Logan Lewis
Ahh, yes, I was looking at that Think I'll finally bite the bullet and get one once I get the money.

*and it has the Snapdragon 888 instead of the exynos
just trying to figure out if the S21 FE can underclock it or limit the power usage at a sweetspot. Benchmarks on other phones show that it throttles and ends up performing hotter and worse, but the performance/watt is still better so really it should be better if it can be tuned properly like a desktop CPU
Jackson Hill
S20fe 5g has snapdragon 865
Grayson Reyes
yeah I'm talking about the S21 FE instead which has a proper proximity sensor unlike the S20 FE i mean the CPU performance/efficiency is one thing but the primary use of a phone is for calls, sounds like the visual proximity sensor can be an annoyance that you have to adjust to.. rather than the phone adjusting to you
so basically I'm leaning towards the S21 FE now and just figuring out how to alleviate the problems with the hotter CPU if I want to game. Or maybe PS2/dolphin/etc emulators aren't that intensive anyways?
Andrew Walker
Are there any phones that receive updates for more than 5 years without rooting? AFAIK only iphones have that much support but it would be great to known some alternatives
Matthew Carter
I meant flashing custom ROM not rooting
Matthew Robinson
im going to sleep now but can anyone with the S21 FE share their experience with using the power saving mode to limit CPU speed to 70%? Does it help avoid throttling while still achieving performance with better perf/watt than the 885 on the S20 FE?
just want to play ps1/ps2 or earlier games on an emulator anyways, nothing crazy like genshin impact I'll prob pull the trigger later this week on the S21 FE once I'm certain the throttling can be alleviated since the proper proximity sensor and fresh support is more important to me
Leo Foster
Don't think so, maybe the memephones like librem or similar offer something like that
