13 Pro is a better buy.

Explain to me the logic of spending more than $250 on a smartphone.

ios, no lagging, no crashes

You don't see lagging or abysmal amounts of ram except on the cheapest of cheap budget carrier phones under $100.

Xperia 5 ii for $400 or 5 iii for $550?

You are witnessing perfection.

Is the LG v60 worth it?

5 ii. Not because of the price, but because of the SoC. Avoid SD888 and 8g1.

its a tool you use literally every day, often to make money

Did Samsung stop updating that one already?

Lol nope

true perfection

No. It will even get Android 13 later this year. Even my S10 gets monthly updates.

phenomenal battery life and screen to be fair (and with a headphone jack) but definitely not best phone

lmao, isocell hm1 shits all over your ishit

>lying, the post
S10 will soon get quarterly security updates only, and will get them twice a year if at all soon enough. Too bad Samsung didn’t make their own processors so they could support the phones longer, they’re at the mercy of Qualcomm. Oh wait, they DO but still fuck you over. You don’t mind, you get the new version every year lmao.

You are retarded. Note20 Ultra will get Android 13 this year, along the entire S20 series.

I am tempted by the Xperia IV by the 3.5mm and expandable storage, but how the fuck can Sony charge that much and only offer two years of support?

Too old. Also, shitty OS with tons of bloat. No, I won't root my phone.
Unrelated, but how are Pixel phones? Any good?

the edge screen is the most retarded thing
it doesnt look good and it makes the phone much more fragile

Post some phone you vaguely remember existed

>thinks December 30th but only for Asia, US in January is this year
Well technically…
If the Note 10 update last year is similar, you’ll get it sometime after January if you’re lucky. But your carrier could fuck you.
>Oops gotta update our dumb skin we’ve got going, better get the top Korean software engineers on the case

You don't need root to debloat it. Learn to ADB.
>Pixel phones
Exynos SoC.

the pixel 4 was good but then google went and ruined it

>your carrier
None of my phones are branded. They are, as amerimutts refer to, "unlocked".

why the fuck are modern phone options so fucking terrible

just get an galaxy S7 and call it a day mein neger

Technically not Exynos brand but a very similar and related design. I found my Pixel 6 would heat up and was very inefficient. I get better battery life from the A15 in my iPhone Mini, but that might be due to a smaller screen and how the OS severely limits background activity, as most of the time the screen is off.

Will I lose top screen functionality if I use a custom on my LG V20?

When is LG's next phone?

Attached: 1644829364352.png (338x398, 245K)

is there any difference in camera quality between the two?

You won't get the shortcuts and stuff, but the screen will still work. It'll act like one big screen with a cutout on the left.

The bigger issue is Samsung's fab, on which Exynos and Tensor are made on, and the modem, wwhich is the same on both Exynos and Tensor. Surely, Tensor 6 got a newer revision compared to Exy 2100, but it's the same garbage modem.
