Samsung A53 or Pixel 5?

Pixel 5

Is there a reason why certain versions of phone models aren't really sold in certain countries? I'm in the UK and not even Samsung is selling the 256GB/8GB RAM version of the A52s. Unless I go through an independent seller, I can only get the 128GB/6GB RAM one.

which xiaomeme should I get to replace my dying poco F1 at a similar price range?

>Shady Bulgarians claim their products are cheaper because their company doesn't pay VAT
What kind of bullshit is this?

Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro or Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro? Is there something good at a lower price bracket that would be worth?

Is there a website where i can check out all the different android forks that company's use on their phones? Talking about checking out different UIs before buying a new phone

X3 Pro or F3

chinks?

A52s

Not him, but why?

I read people s22 battery woes, but only now noticed it has a 3.700 battery
wtf was samsung thinking

Why these specifically? Why the X3 instead of the x4? Its around the same price. Why the F3? Its more expensive then the x4

Can't even find a listing for this. What is it and what makes it better than the Redmi 11?

It has everything you could need from a smartphone
>3.5mm jack
>SD slot
>1080p 120hz AMOLED
>powerful chipset (around SD855 level)
>64 MP main camera with OIS
>IP67 water resistance
>4 years of update support
>OneUI is one of the best Android skins
Should be able to find it under 300€ on sale

>What is it
Samsung Galaxy A52s, make sure it has the S on the end, A52 (4G or 5G) is an inferior model

I think I asked in a previous thread, but nobody answers. How should I charge my new phone when I first get it? Like, should I do a full charge before using it and then let it drain all out, or is it pointless and I can just use it straight out of the box?

You don't need to "calibrate" lithium batteries, you can start using it straight away

Prices seem to fluctuate but the Redmi note 11 pro is still around $100 cheaper. What's wrong with it that its not as good?

ayyylmao just watched this livestream from the genshin chink. Poco f3 was running at 60 fps easily while the F4gt was desperately throttling and running at 38fps at the end.

I wonder what power usage and temps I'd get on my F3 considering my gpu is undervolted.

>bought a Redmi Note 8T to install crdroid on it
>locked by MIUI
>no windows machine to unlock it

My screen on time indication is completely off - it shows >15 hours of sot when in reality it's normally between 3 and 5 hours. The battery life itself is normal. Latest firmware, Z Flip3, tried rebooting, charging and discharging fully. Any ideas how to fix this? I'd like to avoid doing a factory reset

Are there any issues with the 5G on the A53? I'm in an area with good support for it, so debating on which cheap-ish 5G phone I should get. I care more about being future proof and durability than specs like screen/camera/CPU.
