I heard it has shit battery
Also fuck android and fuck Samsung for increasing the size of the status bar.

I have this phone. Battery life is great.

I also have this phone. Battery is amazing.

Note20 Ultra is the absolute best smartphone.

Also based.

So glad i fell for the A52s shills, i adore this phone

>China, honkong, Taiwan

i still love my Google Pixel 6 Pro

Yes. Snapdragon and unlocked bootloader.

I love my Realme gt2 pro

looking to dip my feet into android development what's a budget phone i can buy purely for this? just making a simple CRUD app so stuff like battery life and all that doesn't matter.

>1440p@60

OLEDs, all of them, do not have enough red and blue subpixels to produce the native resolution. 1440p panels can only reproduce slightly above 1080p anyway.

Do you have any problems with connectivity?

So I've come to the conclusion only two phones matter

>Samsung S20 FE 5G
+Nice camera
+Good UI (according to popular opinion)
+SD card slot
+IP rating
-bootloader locked
-older for security updates (although it will match xiaomi 12x on android updates up to 14)
-slightly worse cpu

>Xiaomi 12x
+Better cpu
+Compact and light
+Better display (colors and brightness)
+Can unlock bootloader
+New (but shit updates compared to siblings, android 11 ootb, up to 14)
+Faster charging
-no IP rating
-no sd card slot
-curved edges are nice but might result in false input
-MIUI (based on popular opinion. I've been using old MIUI 11 and it suits me fine)

Seems like xiaomi is winning this. Any reason to go for samsung?

Nope. If anything the reception is better than on my Exynos S22 Ultra. The modem in the Exynos sucks that bad.

LG V60 or Velvet.

xiaomeme could be a very good brand if the fix their good damn MIUI

anyone's else having a problem with the youtube app hijacking links that should have opened on newpipe, despite blocking, freezing, downgrading that shit and telling the google KIKE to fuck off?
