Hi all,

I am looking for a replacement for my OnePlus 10 Pro that just can't stop dissapointing me.

Requirements:

• Fast charge with minimum 50W
• Wireless charging
• Great camera quality (front and main back)
• Fingerpring sensor under the screen
• It has to be cool (not overheating with prompt that device is too hot)

Nice to have:

• No curved egde
• Wide angle camera
• More or less clean android (I can always debloat the device or if possible flash custom rom)

What is the most important for me is the abilty to handle wireless android auto while being wirelessly charged without prompting after 15 minutes that the phone is too hot so it shuts down some processes.


As far as I researched the topic it seems like most devices running Snapdragon Gen 2 could handle those requirements (yet, I am not sure).

Thanks in advance for the replies!

I'm looking for an Android tablet that will run Google Play Books and has 1080 HD. Almost like a Nexus 7 but maybe more internal memory?

I prefer it to run Google services and be snappy when it comes to surfing and reading.

Any suggestions?

I have been using a OnePlus 6. Want to get a 5G phone I have T-Mobile. I'm thinking of getting the Pixel 7. I'm also looking at the top of the line Samsung s23 however I don't like all the junk that used to come on the Samsung so I haven't used them for about 8 years are they still loaded with crap?
Carry my phone with me when I go mountain biking sometimes 10 -20 mi off-road if that makes any difference. Have the patches remedied problems with the Pixel 7? I haven't seen the Samsungs in person are they much larger than the Pixel 7 and the OnePlus 6? Too big a phone is hard to go mountain biking with lol

@markbnj the best option I can think of is the galaxy tab s6 lite (at $249). It has an octa core processor, a 10.4 inch display, and a 7040 MAh battery. It also accepts microSD cards and has both official and LineageOS Android 13 support.

Cheap, hackable phone recommendations?

I'm looking for recommendations for a phone, something cheap and hackable. Any thoughts?

@quadlegs You could get the Nord N200 (which supports LineageOS/PixelExperience and native bootloader unlocking) for $200 or the OnePlus 9 for $280. If you're ok with refurbished, you could also get the Pixel 5A (refurbished) for $130-135.

 

[traman124]

Hello i'm looking to get a new phone to start android pen testing and ssl pinning , what's the best one to go with ? what's your favorite model and why ?

My favorite android phone is the Pixel 6A. For $450 (regularly at $270-280 after discounts, it's $268 at the time of posting on Amazon and 450 on Google Store), you get Google's flagship Tensor COU from last year's Pixel 6, an OLED screen, a 4410MaH battery, and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.

If you're not looking to spend more than 200 and want LineageOS, you could get the Nord N200 for $200.

Hello everyone, I've got a question: are Motorola phones worth getting these days?

I should state upfront that I enjoy playing mobile games - nothing incredibly graphics intensive, just mainly pixel JRPGs and the like, although I do want to play Honkai Star Rail and Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat when they come out (and if the DMC one comes out in America). Other than that, whatever phone I'm looking to get won't be my work phone, so it will mainly just be used for youtube, web browsing, and to read books and watch tv and movies on.

And as it's going to be a secondary phone to use around the house when I'm not busy, I don't want to pay a lot of money for it. As long as it can play Honkai Star Rail and maybe a couple of similar games, I dont need a flagship or anything.

I've previously mainly used Samsung devices, but I'm looking for something different from them, in part because I dont like all the bloatware they put on phones nowadays. I'm also maybe looking to degoogle this phone, and put Lineage on it, and not being able to do that on my old S9 plus has soured me on Samsung.

So, would a moderately priced Motorola phone be a good candidate for this? I'm not huge into the smartphone scene so I dont have extensive knowledge of all the brands, but as an outsider, I've gotten the impression that Motorola is seen as a brand that makes low quality phones, that aren't very popular, which is mainly why I'm asking.

If you’re looking at moderately priced, the Pixel 6A is better than any Motorola. It has a Google Tensor (like the 6 Pro) CPU and an OLED display.

Motorolas aren’t mad as such; but their strength is in the ultra low end. The 6A for $260-290 unlocked on sale on Amazon right now (usually $450 MSRP) is a more compelling deal (at least to me) and it also has official LineageOS support.

Hi @Lxa19

The Fairphone 4 is your best bet….
It has a removable battery, an IPS LCD, LineageOS support (although Fairphone provided 7 years of official support for the Fairphone 2, so hopefully the 4 gets the same treatment), and either 6 or 8 GB of RAM.

I really miss the Asus Nexus 7.

What would be it's equivalent in this modern time? I love reading and it would be awesome to have something similar that had a very good HD resolution and is snappy without breaking the bank too much.
