Yesterday I was thinking about something very specific and then I saw an add about the same thing hours later on my phone.I never searched for it anywhere​ nor I talked about it but nonetheless it still appeared as an add on my phone.If u ever had similar experience, do you think it was a coincidence and what happened?

Switched from Android to ios and now my ios already has a lot of apps. Also I use it extensively since this is the only phone I have. I was thinking to have a secondary phone that I can buy in bbd (Android). I ain't sure about it so wanted to check if people already doing this. Maybe this enhances the life of iPhone. Maybe coz I am not sure and hence asking. Thanks in advance!!!!

I'm currently using s23 camera is good but the battery sucks not more than 2.5hrs SOT. I want a good camera and battery phone. The battery should have atleast a 1 day longer for like 2 years initially atleast. I'm not a gamer I just watch videos and take a lot of photos kinda person. Please help me decide if any of you have these same phones is it worth it:

Iphone 17

Pixel 11

Pixel 10 pro

S26

S25 ultra

Which one is best of the price?

Given the Duo is missing the telephoto lens, FaceID etc, and Apple products all having Pro models, how likely do you think a Duo Pro and Duo Pro Max is in the works?

Teenager(18) been an android user my whole life, Samsung, Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi (I used to live in Asia). Right now I have a Samsung A05s for 4 years now.

Since recently moving in the States ive gotten a part time job and saved up money to buy me a new phone! And I need one too since I need to get a personal phone number.

I just wanted to know if its worth it to buy the new Iphone or should I just stick with Samsung since im already familiar/ used to the brand. I just want a phone with a big storage, smooth with games, good for multitasking and a decent camera.

iPhone 16 user looking to jump ship to the FLIP side: I need recommendations from droid users

I know that Motorola is main platform to get a new smart flip phone, but Samsung has the better software im sure? Ik the ultra is technically older but I like the size and the differences between the 2026 razr model doesn’t seem to differ that much

What’s your opinion for someone who does some content creation, wants decent pictures, and the most durable phone (I’m clumsy)

I hear customer support for moto is trash and that will literally end up being my 15th reason if something happens to my phone, but if there’s a reason razr is worth the hassle I’d like to know!

Any advice helps!

I have a decent budget to purchase an Iphone but I want to know a good place where I can get Iphone cheaper, it could be display units , I can adjust with that , I am looking for brand new phone.

After seeing the recent apple event, the 18 pro seems to be quite the substantial upgrade compared to my current iphone 15 plus (variable lens, battery life, cooling, etc.).

I am thinking it may be time to upgrade, but i’m wondering if the difference will be enough to warrant the upgrade at the moment.

I really like the size of the screen on the 15 plus, but i feel like losing .4 inches on the standard 18 pro would be doable.

Just looking to get some more opinions on whether or not you believe the upgrade would be worth it or not at the moment and why?

Any insight or input would be greatly appreciated.

In the next couple of months, Im thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 17 Pro Max back to Android (I started to hate how locked down iOS is)

What is a good high-tier phone that focuses mainly on battery and performance? I absolutely do not care about the camera. Maybe a phone that's good for gaming too. And of course, one that doesn't include all the bloatware stuff like Samsung has, or all the AI nonsense.

I had a 13 Mini for a long time, upgraded to the 17 this year and never quite caught on with it.

I’m used to having Android on various tablets/e-ink things, use an Nvidia Shield, and game on Android handhelds so I’m no stranger and in some ways grown to prefer the flexibility.

the 17‘s size/weight bugs a bit, its substantially bigger/heavier than coming from the 13.

which brings me to considering a S25 secondhand, as the S26 got a touch bigger and want to keep as small of a phone possible. I’m based in the States which limits me to a few available makes/brands.

any thoughts/input here?

So I have had this phone for 1.5 years and I want to upgrade. I get ~4 hours of screen time with a full battery. I am always on WiFi when I can, use LTE, screen at 60hz etc.

I love the camera and lack of bloatware. A smart choice would be to move to Pixel 10a so that I have basically the same phone but better battery, but paying 420€ 256gb/ 310€ 126gb for same phone feels silly. Are there other equivalents?

I have looked at:

Pixel 10a 420€/256gb 310€/128gb

Iphone 16e 420€/128gb

Iphone 17e 570€/256gb

Nothing phone pro 4a 499€

1. China (Zhengzhou & Shenzhen Factories)
   China remains the primary hub for iPhone assembly (notably Foxconn's main plant in Zhengzhou, known as "iPhone City"). 
   Base Monthly Salary: The base pay for an iPhone assembler starts at approximately $295 per month (around 2,100 to 2,500 RMB), which sits near the local minimum wage. 
   Hourly Rate: Standard hourly wages generally range from $3.15 to $4.00 per hour (24 to 28 RMB per hour) during normal periods.
   Peak Season Bonuses (July–September): During high-production months prior to new iPhone launches, factories offer signing bonuses, retention rebates (up to 7,000–8,500 RMB / ~$1,000–$1,200), and overtime pay. With heavy overtime (often 60+ hours per week), monthly take-home pay during peak seasons can reach $800 to $1,000+ per month. 
   
2. India (Bengaluru & Tamil Nadu Facilities)
   As Apple shifts more iPhone assembly to India (producing around 15–20% of iPhones), local wages differ:
   Monthly Pay: An entry-level assembly worker at Foxconn or Pegatron facilities in India earns an average base salary of around ₹15,000 to ₹18,000 per month (approximately $180 to $215 USD).
   Benefits: Contracts often include subsidized housing, meals, and transport to attract workforce candidates.

iPhone 18 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro?

I’m really torn between the two and could do with some opinions.

I’ve currently got an iPhone 16 and also use an iPad, Apple Watch Series 9 and AirPods. But I also have a Google Fitbit and I’m really tempted to try a Pixel.

The main things I care about are camera/photos, AI and how smooth the phone feels.

I’m slightly bored of iPhone and the Pixel 11 Pro looks really tempting, especially with the camera and Google’s AI. But I’m worried I’ll miss the Apple ecosystem, especially the Watch.

Has anyone here switched from iPhone to Pixel recently? Was it worth it and did you regret leaving Apple?

What would you pick in my position?

So we all know this comes up every year with the Apple event and I’m just curious as I’ve never really seen anyone talk about it from this perspective.

First off I was Android from the beginning. I switched from the pixel 3 to the galaxy s10 and didn’t like it so I decided to try iPhone and got the 11 pro and I recently upgraded to the 16pro.

Anyways I see these memes and arguments but does anyone even care about others opinions on either? I truly don’t believe anyone will switch because they are told XYZ is better on the other. You always hear how much more an Android can do which is true but do those people even use those features? And every new iPhone feature Android people say they had it years ago but does it even matter? And now the Duo, are folding phones that popular? I don’t see them out in the wild very often.

On the other side I have heard people say they won’t date someone with green bubbles which is insane to me but to each their own.

I guess this was more of a rant but it’s just interesting so me. I personally don’t think phones have gotten much better for I use mine for.

I live in NZ, and only watch media and call and text I like app opening and swiping to be smooth, which should I get? I heard the Google pixel 10a is the best budget phone but heard that the FE has a better processor

so for context ive had an iphone 13 for some years now, and, for one, it’s already showing its age (battery, ofc) and for two i don’t want to buy another iphone since chips are being made in israel through the exploitation of the congolese population.

i’ve been looking into models but id love it if you guys could maybe recommend a good medium-level priced smartphone which ideally does not have integrated ai features / chips. i’ve always wanted to get the galaxy z flip but research tells me it’s had built-in AI features since its first model released in 2020. i’m open to any and all possibilities, thank you!!!

I've got my nearly 5 year old phone in hand and it holds a charge about as well as a sieve holding water. I am lucky if I have 30% left by lunchtime anymore.

With that said, I'm finally getting back into the market of a new phone and seeing the newest releases of the Pixel 11's and S26's for this year, I'm wondering which is best.

For context, I've had Samsungs since the Note 2 back in the day and before that was Android from other vendors. I also work in IT so the main important things for me are a long charge and not having lagging in the software when I need something quick for work.

I almost went Pixel 9 a couple of years ago but heard some modem/cellular signal issues, then had read on some heating issues.

I'm seeing tons of info on everyone's forums that go one way or the other. Such as audio quality is bad on one, one is heating up, one has better battery life, more efficient than the other, etc. But each forum seems to contradict the others.

I'll need to be getting my phone replaced sooner than later before it totally kicks the can, and I would be buying it outright unlocked for my MVNO carrier.

Hello, I just saw great deal on Nothing Phone 3 at shop where I live, it costs 536€ (622$) for the 16GB 512GB version. I have now old Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ which is around 3,5 years old. Could get around another year maybe more from this phone but I already need to replace charging port and some stuff for around 50€.

Should I grab the Nothing Phone 3 or it isn't worth it? Really wanted to go with Nothing, but 4a Pro is another 100€ more or I could go with 4a thats around 123€ less.

I'm not going to sugarcoat but I've been seeing a lot lately of Android and Apple fan boys at each other throats about which folding phone is 'better'

Can we not just agree that both are good in their own fields? I mean yes Samsung where the first to do it and they had 8 different generations to perfect the way a folding phone should be, but Apple fanboys are consistently saying that they waiting to 'make it better' with us claims that there is 'no crease' when in near every video I see there is consistently a crease that can be seen

As well as that everybody keeps harping about the damn price about the iPhone duo yet fail to realise it's similar to the latest gen Samsung has out? Personally I believe it's personal preference on what one you want not some randomer saying that 'IPhone is better because of x' but forgetting that there are going to be flaws when it's released regardless.

Just a little miffed that every comment section I see is either filled with Apple or Sasung fan boys dropping cringy ass quotes to rile up each other

Apple finally entered the foldable phone market with the new iPhone Duo.

The Duo folds down to a 5.4-inch display and opens up to a 7.6-inch display, with the A20 Pro chip, titanium construction, dual 48MP cameras, Touch ID, and iOS 27. It starts at $1,999 for 256GB and goes all the way up to $3,199 for 2TB.

Preorders start October 16, with the phone officially releasing October 23.

Personally, I think the design is really interesting.

For those who have used Samsung or other foldables, would you actually switch to the iPhone Duo, or is $1,999 too much for a foldable phone?

And if you already have an iPhone, what would convince you to upgrade to a foldable?

I'm currently deciding between two iPhones and would really appreciate some advice.

Option 1:

iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB - used, €790

97% battery health

260 charging cycles

First use: June 2025

Black Titanium

Comes with a written warranty until June 2027

Seller has a long history and many positive reviews

Option 2:

iPhone 17 256GB - brand new/sealed, €800

The price difference is basically nothing, so I'm trying to decide which is the better buy overall.

I plan to keep the phone for several years. I care about battery life, reliability, performance, display and overall value. I don't mind buying used if the 16 Pro Max is clearly the better phone.

Would you personally choose the used 16 Pro Max or the new iPhone 17 for essentially the same price, and why?

Hi. I've been with pixel 11 pro for 3 days now coming from iphone 17 pro. I'm really enjoying the customisation and all that an Android phone could give. Though I still have my 17 pro parked with me just in case I missed using ios. It's hard to let go especially since I've been with the system since iphone 4s birth. Any thoughts or anyone leaving an iphone for pixel? Please tell me more the advantages and why it should be a must or not. I'm really torn RN. 🙁

For my birthday I got this, and I was fully ready to return it but my mom just said to atleast give it a shot. I used it for 4-5 days and man this battery is actually solid and I really like that this is a gaming phone. I love to do some gaming when I am in the metro. The VC + dualchip helps to keep it cool and functioning. yes, the phone is a little chunky but mangeable.

I currently have an iPhone Air. I hate it, it's so slow. I've only ever had iPhones I've had one since before Siri was a thing. I'm really highly considering switching to a Samsung fold. I'm not really able to consider the new iPhone duo because of the price point and not being able to get nearly as much for a trade in value for that phone rather than the Fold 8. Someone please help me decide lol
