It feels like phones get more slippery and fragile every year, yet I still see people walking around with absolutely no case or screen protector on their $1,000 devices.Personally, I can't do it. The second I buy a phone, it goes straight into a heavy-duty case because I don't trust myself.Where do you stand? Are you Team Case all the way, or do you prefer the look and feel of a bare phone? If you go caseless, how many times have you regretted it?

I charged m'y smartphone and the battery was decreasing 50-49-48% even pludged on the wall outlet and then i changed the wall ,taking an other wall outlet and It worked 48\*49-50-60...why?

Hey ya'll!

I've been with Samsung since 2023 and currently have the s25 ultra. When I first got this phone, I LOVED the cameras, loved the phone overall, and still do. The issue I'm having though is that it seems like the cameras have gotten worse over time (cameras are the main thing I look at when getting a new phone), I notice it a lot in selfies where AI kicks in and gives my features an oil painting look. It is so frustrating and so clear that AI retouched it, is there a way to turn this off? Anyway, I've looked into the settings, the beauty effect is off but the image processing afterwards is what's causing this.

With the rear camera, I get some really great images out of it, but I've been noticing more and more that the camera struggles to focus a little. This results in very shakey/blurry edges in pictures, even if the main subject is in focus their hair for example won't be. I've got steady hands, and always clean my cameras, so doubt I'm to blame. I've also tried clearing the camera cache, took off lense protectors but nothing changed.

I love the new foldables, initially I wanted to get z fold 8, but I do worry about overall image quality and AI over processing images like my s25 ultra does.

I really didn't want to go back to apple but have been thinking of getting a used iphone 17 pro max (that way I won't be giving apple the money😬) I know I can just watch comparison camera videos, which I have, both phones have great cameras but which one processes images/video better? Will the iphone give me that oil painting look in selfies? Is it worth switching from the ultra to the pro max in general?

Just looking for some real opinions and experiences from people.

Anyways, thanks!

Hi folks,

I daily drive iqoo neo 7 pro 12/256 gb variant for last 3 yrs when it was launched it works great it has 8+gen 1 the modem I feel is Lil degraded reception gets lil wonky and battery health around 78% but it has 120watts fast charging so can't complain about that and honestly it has spoiled me 20 min charging to top up fully but phone is good works like charms I play emulation games mostly on it and some termux related stuff but I was wondering when should I change this phone like I just want your guys opinion...

For the record, I currently have a iPhone 14 Pro Max (512) since 2022 launch.

In Finland / Europe, the Fold 7 512 model has gone on sale for 1300€, (the lowest ever) and I was wondering if the Fold 7 is still worth it a year after it’s launch.

The Fold 8 (256, normal, no ultra) is on sale for 1750€, so 450€ more expensive and less storage.

How is the Fold 7, is it still a good phone for such price?

I’m planning to let go of my iphone 13 and switch back to android mainly cause of battery life. I’m considering honor 600 or xiaomi 15t what are your thoughts? the only reason i use iphone is the camera.

I'm looking into getting a new phone and am between one of the Samsung S series and an iPhone 15 or 16. My main priority is camera quality. I have also never used an iPhone so that is a factor

I fucking loved owning the rugged XR20 for the past 5 years, but it's gonna need replacing soon; it's discontinued now. Any other rugged stock Android phones still being sold? They need to be a beast like the XR20.

I am losing my mind. I asked this question on google a few months ago and one of the options ai gave me is a wrap that you can stretch over the back of the phone, kind of like car wraps. I either hallucinated that, or I just can't find it anymore. Does anyone know what it is called, if it even exists? There is another option that I am considering, which is using vinyl stickers, but those are more expensive + an anime store has the stickers I want already, and they aren't the vinyl type, so I am unsure of whether I'll find ones I'd like. Also, please don't recommend using a phone case, I don't really like how phones look with them, and they are thicker than using a wrap (which I might be hallucinating about).

Just thinking about that question

Leave your hate comments below. Apple is getting ready to shock the world tomorrow. The iPhone duo will be the biggest Fold phone to ever sellout. This will change the way we use our phones going forward as what happened in China a couple of years ago. All comments are welcome for later receipts
