@newt I’m willing to spend up to 2000 on a phone 🩹🩹

But I’ve had Apple for over a decade and they’re so basic.. they haven’t changed at all…

@iwillbite i mean, a borzoi pup and a year worth of food for it costs 2000 around here. That's kinda a lot.

@newt I understand it’s a lot but I keep my phone for YEARS

Average I have them for is 5 years so 2000 split between 5 is just 400

@iwillbite my iphone se 2020 is still working and I still use it and it's 6 years old. Coincidentally, it did cost 400 euro 6 years ago, which maps to 66 euro per year lol

@nerthos I like the Samsung because the newest one comes with a lil stylus

@iwillbite You can get a stylus for any phone actually, they work with any screen.

@iwillbite For $2000 you could get WAAAAAAY better than a samsung with a stylus.

@nerthos I was thinking the s27 next year. I’m sure it’ll look like the s26

@iwillbite Hmm the s26 is not really a bad phone if you can get it for like $700
Do you actually need the performance though? will you be doing switch emulation on it or something?

@nerthos @iwillbite with a drill bit, you can insert the stylus into any phone you want

@iwillbite Then a solid $400 or so phone would be ideal for you. It'll absolutely last you 5 or so years with enough power to do whatever you want to do with it.

@iwillbite @nerthos bruh

>Get phone so powerful it can play recent AAA games
>Just text and youtube like everyone else

You can just get a refurb flagship phone from a few years ago for a fraction of the price at around 250-350$ CAD and usually even if it's just at condition "good", it looks almost new with a perfect screen or so. I put Graphene OS on it so I have updates for longer

my pixel 10 pro xl rattles when you shake it, apparently it's a camera stabilizer. ive never had a phone rattle like a childs toy before and it's very jarring to hear

@graf @coolboymew @iwillbite You can get one of those new for ~$450 https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_10_pro?hl=en-US and it has a camera stabilizer, pretty good IMO

@nerthos @graf @iwillbite Wow, that's a pretty great price. Still USD tho, so my newest Pixel 7 Pro at 250$, that would be like 3 times the price in CAD

@graf @nerthos @iwillbite I got lucky, they were like 350ish a year or so ago (I broke my screen like a dumbass after dropping it for the 2054823907th time)

It heavily depends on the model, site, etc. It's pretty random

I got it on launch and my carrier had a 3 day offer for 0 down 0 monthly on the finance option. they have the same for the "use and return" option which is a retarded option. I'm not paying to rent a phone fuck off

@graf @nerthos @iwillbite Samsung keeps pulling shady shit after shady shit, so I wanted to lay off from their stuff

Otherwise, Pixel phones not having 4120954 bootloader versions where if you want to put a custom OS, you need to have the one obscure Russian release (I checked once, it was quite literally that for the very common S6 I had back then. I am not exaggerating in the slightest), while it seems to NOT be a problem with Pixel phones somehow

@iwillbite @hakui Yes, it's one of the last to have it and it's a big reason to stick with it. Screen glitching won't disable the phone and neither will water or static which renders a capacitive screen inoperable.

Companies were retarded to remove analog buttons.

I was full samsungtard until the galaxy 22 or 23 ultra I can't remember which it was, where they introduced the always-on AI "enhancements" on the photos. pixel does the same thing but you can turn on burst mode so you get like 20 shots and you can revert any changes. samsung never gave that option and always made people look like wax figures and shit. fuck that

@graf @nerthos @iwillbite yeah, this is Samsung's modus operandi. My last Samsung phone was an S7-8 or something, I don't even remember

Only thing that pisses me off about Pixels is that Uma Musume keeps crashing

@graf @nerthos @iwillbite it used to be fine and at some point after a certain update it's crashing randomly, it's pretty annoying. It seems to be some weird driver issue as it happens on stock and Graphene OS

Sometimes you get no crashes in 3 hours

Sometimes you get 5 crashes in a single run

It's frustrating, especially since Trackblazer are longer scenarios

@graf @coolboymew @nerthos @iwillbite this one is good. 8 core processor, 4gb of RAM, Android 14, headphone jack, SD card slot, esim + physical sim, I can get several days on a single battery, removable battery, water proof, no Google services, and 5G with support for VoNR.

It only cost me $170 with shipping.

@iwillbite @hakui "Buttons are lame" she says, with a completely disabled phone because an app crashed

This is what I'm talking about when I say you're a corpo slave, you don't even question what features are good, you just go "oh it's newer so it must be better" and eat whatever they serve you

@mischievoustomato @iwillbite @hakui It doesn't, I don't use the phone for heavy games that's what I have a beefy laptop and a VR headset for.

@iwillbite @hakui I'm not telling you to buy an old phone. I'm telling you to buy a good phone for your needs, or a flagship from one or two years ago for 30% of the price it had, which will still vastly outperform anything new on the same price range. Look at specs not year, features and materials quality.

@iwillbite @nerthos @newt @hakui prefixing a number with '0x' denotes hexadecimal. In hexadecimal, each place is 16. So the 'tens' place becomes the 'sixteens' place, and so hexadecimal 20 is 2 sixteens, therefore 32.
