There's already another thread up, imbecile.

Not with that cringe OP image it has.

Who the fuck cares about the image of an underage container thread?

I fucking hate cell phones so much.

Do they make phones without cameras anymore? I don't want to keep paying a premium for a camera I will never use.

rec phone i can buy easily in the philippines. the closest tech hub near me is cubao and they have phone stores like lenovo, samsung, etc. what should i buy? maybe 500ish usd

When will smartphones truly replace laptops/desktops? I want to be able to just link up my phone to a monitor and start using it for work/browsing. I know Samsung has something like this but it's not good enough. It needs to be built into android.

>cell phones
ok boomer.

Then just get a phone that doesn't focus on it?

The cheap Chinkphones have shit cameras and they don't have a focus on them

>Fucking DIES because of smartphones

A52s

Depending on who you ask, they already have. Depends on what you're using them for.

>rx100-tier 1" sensor compacts
yeah, and no wonder, smartphone cameras have pretty much same technology inside nowadays, except for lens that was rarely particularly amazing in compacts anyway, just had the upside of variable focal length

>proper advanced compacts, like rx1, fuji x100, ricoh gr
big sensor, big high quality lens behaves like any other big camera, those are not going anywhere any time soon

Samsung A53 or Pixel 6a?

>country
USA
>carrier
Visible (Verizon towers)

Same price (but $150 rebate with the pixel 6a). I've heard so many good things about Pixels in general but goddamn I am so tired of shit battery with various previous smartphones that I've almost considered (allah forgive me) purchasing an apple product. A53 allegedly has great battery which might swing me over. Just want to listen to my podcasts, watch/listen to youtube, call, text, browse web. I take pictures sometimes but I'm not massively picky and the only mobile game I have is sudoku.

Thoughts?

someone pls help how do i get Any Forums to auto scroll threads as people post, certainly theres a way?

LineagesOS is dead/abandonware now?

I am using a very stable 17.1 build on my galaxy a3 17 edition and it works beautifully
that said it is an unofficial rom maintained by a single autistic french girl named debie
not that I am complaining, she releases monthly security patches on top of everything

A52 5g.

A53 is just a worse version of it.

Does anybody know of a clip I can use to attach my phone to an xbox one, series, or switch pro controller, and that also includes an extra USB type C port or passthrough, so I can both connect the phone to the controller, and charge the phone at once?

The samsung shill got really mad and made sure not to bump it so he could make this one. This is the image in question that the samsung shill doesn't like.

Hey guess what, an S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro both cost 1600 AUD locally; the Xperia 1 IV is newer, can be imported for 1400, and has features I actually want.

is a52s worth it? I'm thinking of buying it.

Yes, it does.
Downside is that trying to use warranty is like pulling teeth and it uses a housefire SoC. I'd get one if it was the 8+ or 8 Gen 2.
