Samsung Galaxy Fold E, Debes comprar el que se ajuste a tus necesidades presentes, si trabajas debería ser el que mas te ayuda a mejorar la productividad laboral the manera que rindas mejor para la empresa o compañia para la cual se labore.

The device I use for the last week digging to pay, I go and buy the device Fold or the Samsung S21 ultra 5G. They give me $ 440 per change for this Samsung Galaxy A215U

I agree its the best choice and It will be easy to afford trading this device in for an upgrade with no down payment at just $16 - $22 monthly with my 5G ultra unlimited plan. I am ordering a Samsung Chromebook Plus this week $ 0% down $22 monthly with its own built in Wi-Fi.

About hardware I like Xiaomi / Redmi / Oppo value for money.
For software I like Android Stock.

I am not planning to change device soon, but I am not sure about what I am going to buy, I dont have an idea. Really.

The best smartphones you can currently buy, covering the best of iPhone and consider a SIM-only deal if you're buying your phone outright. The 2020 iPhone 12 Pro introduces a fresh new design, boosting screen closely to see the difference in the detail - what's more important is display quality.

OnePlus 9 Pro
Sony Xperia 1 III
Was completely sold on the Xperia 1 III feature list, but just found out that root/unlocking bootloader will remove some features.

What are the most root friendly phones out now? Anything with a headphone jack? ROG phone 5 seems like the only other option but I'm really not into mobile gaming, and it seems it lacks in other areas.

Hey all,

Just wondering if there's an Android tablet anyone here would recommend that's (relatively) easy to root? Ideally 7 - 8", I recently tried with a Samsung T295 but couldn't seem to get past Knox flagging the software as compromised when using Magisk.

Are there usb-c to hdmi cables or adaptars that can output video at 1440p and 120hz from a phone to a tv?

If so, which phones do best at outputting this?

    Its a bit older phone, but still nice.
    Bit smaller screen size, smaller battery, less RAM, but a better camera, OTG support, and should get Android 14 too.

    If the price is right, lower than G84, and you like the phone, go for it.

    If the price is the same, and the camera is not in your focus, then get the G84 because it has an amasing battery life, microSD expansion is very nice too.

    Modern day lower midrangers offer the luxury of 6gb ram, faster processors and are an exciting segment to look.

    Here are few truly valuable midrangers, suiting our preferences: (premium camera, 4k video rec & microsd support)
    • Realme 12 plus - mar 24 _ 50p,8w,2m​

    Realme, well known for its camera 1st approach and has recently released a bombshell right there.
    • Samsung F54 5g - July 23_ 64p,2w,8m​

    A popular midranger over the past few months that ticks all boxes and even chosen as best midranger by many websites.
    • Oppo F25 Pro - Feb 24 _32p,2w,8m​

    Very high bang for the buck right here and Camera has been a big flex of this phone.
    • Oppo Reno 11 -jan 24 _50p,8w,32t​

    This phone is highly rated for its slowmo video especially and comes with a flagship telephoto lens as well. All this comes at a higher price making it a higher mid Ranger.



    The moto G54 and G84 are the other big guns in the category but don't support 4k video and dont have macro lens.

    (P - primary lens, W- wide angle, M - Macro, T - telephoto)
    Thank you so much for the elaborate response, after 5 days of intense research, I wasn't happy enough with the offers at the 300-400 range, not enough to call the shot, so I ended up lowering the budget to avoid disappointment, and got a poco x6 for 277 euros, is alright, I feel like if I had forked out more for a redmi note 12 pro plus or note 13 pro plus, I would feel disappointed...

    Mate.. We are slightly going off topic., i was the one who distracted you about flashing and stuff. Apologies. Let's keep the thread refined! Ya.. These topics should be discussed in relevant threads/personal chats.

    Anyways, is it safe to install banking apps? There's a special thread for the qn mate:

    https://xdaforums.com/t/why-you-shouldnt-install-banking-apps-on-rooted-phones.4566867/

    I agree with them, even at the developer level, the issues that could happen is unpredictable. So they conclude/discourage us from installing banking/shopping apps in custom roms. They expect us to be a responsible user, well informed and keeping the banking apps to firmware locked devices/ just to handle it old fashioned debit cards etc.

    But at the moment i am having a banking app, installed in my non rooted custom rom. But i am planning to uninstall it in a few months, once the financial transactions/need increase.

    Okay. Agree, i answered it quite passively. And it isn't the main topic/focus of this thread ain't it mate!

    While flashing any custom roms, we should proceed with caution and follow each and every step in the official website/developer with utmost care. Possibility of bricking/bootloop should never be ruled out and we must always have a plan B - having a twrp backup/ firmware to restore any brick that happens/adb codes to restore factory partition. And plan B is widespread - the are numerous workarounds discussed in xda forums/ other android communities -advised to read more/view more tutorials and become more confident and then flash.

    Ofc we might end up in an irreversible/hard brick, if flashed recklessly/ irresponsibly/ incompatible roms are flashed.
    - Ive personally bricked/boot looped my op6t as i failed to follow the LOS steps correctly. Reading xda forum of some random device bailed me out.

    Hope it's correct now @Paulkw
    Anyway @bsnsxd intended to ask about safety of banking apps in custom roms.
    Yeah, what I had in mind though was not so much the risk of bricking your device but things like unlocking the bootloader which on most devices is irreversible

    Not sure yet, but seeing as my HTC has had its life dramatically extended by HTC unlocking bootloader for thier devices and so making it much easier to root and mod I am finding it difficult to find a complelling reason to move from HTC

    Probably the Galaxy S3. Hopefully we'll see an updated Note later in the year.
