What phone to buy for osu!droid?

[eager wagon]

I mean

For 123usd

What do u think?

[sick knot]

i assume used?

[eager wagon]

Yesnt

I've looked it up tho

[sick knot]

i mean, if its new its not that bad

[eager wagon]

surely

Since the phone I am using is also samsung with fking lightsaber

[untold heath]

lightsaber?

[sick knot]

but i dont think anyone is selling brand new mid range samsung released in 2022 any more

those phone get cycle out faster than a pregnancy

literally

[eager wagon]

Green line

Samsung thing

[eager wagon]

tbh ofc that's a bad said

[sick knot]

for used, get a poco f3

for new? ehhh, kinda dire

maybe iqoo z9

again, if you got it new its actually not bad

if some games of yours contain the like of genshin, hsr or whatever the hottest gambling with pretty graphic out there, that a53 gonna chuck pretty badly

[eager wagon]

barely over my budget

idk

Plus I don't play gacha games

[sick knot]

so what game do you play

aside osu droid

obvs

[eager wagon]

Non ig

[sick knot]

bruh

[eager wagon]

Ig for smooth experience

[sick knot]

@tidal ginkgo please check how much a new samsung galaxy a53 is compared to a new iqoo z9

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot A new Samsung Galaxy A53 generally costs around $449.99. However, prices can vary, and in December 2025, some Galaxy A53 5G models started at $141.13, depending on factors like storage, color, and condition.

In comparison, the new iQOO Z9 was released in March 2024 with a price of $249 in the USA. It's also listed with a starting price of $249 in December 2025.

[sick knot]

right, thats the retail price as release

not exactly useful

[sick knot]

kinda vague, i mean, that a53 should be fine for scrolling around, watch youtube or web browsing

for a good 3-4 years

but android app gonna bloat

so even if you dont game, something like split screen web browsing/e-commerce app browsing + youtube playing in pip mode is already a tough ask

[eager wagon]

Yea that's what I wanted for now

dw I'll come back for a few years or so

[sick knot]

if this is not a droid thread (or screw it if that ever stop me) im gonna shill the goat lg v60

great spec, expandable storage with micro sd card, headphone jack with good dac, minimal oem bloat (and those are already dead because lg mobile division is dead)

a swan song of a phone

[sick knot]

@tidal ginkgo how much is 2870000 vnd in usd

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot Hmph, always asking me to do the math. 2,870,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND) is approximately $109.20 USD. The exchange rate does fluctuate, of course, but that's what it's worth as of late December 2025.

[sick knot]

casual vietnamese phone market

this will kick the a53 ass 6 ways from sunday

[eager wagon]

Bro I js had that phone lmao

[sick knot]

bruh

why are you downgrading

🫃

[eager wagon]

Nah

I've ady sold it

[lethal pivot]

yeah pack it up unc

[lethal pivot]

oh i forgot you already got the phone

why did you sell it lmao

[lethal pivot]

@tidal ginkgo how much is myr 620 to usd

@tidal ginkgo how much is myr 620 to usd

[tidal ginkgo]

@lethal pivot Hmph. Converting 620 Malaysian Ringgit to US Dollars would give you approximately $152.71, based on current exchange rates. Don't expect me to carry your money for you, though.

[lethal pivot]

???

wtf

@sick knot

50 bucks higher

[lethal pivot]

was s20 isnt smooth enough for you tho

[faint sequoia]

I mean if it's the start of 2025 it would've been just 10 bucks higher...

[eager wagon]

Ady sold it 🤷‍♂️

[lethal pivot]

lol

how much your budget rn?

[eager wagon]

As of now

[lethal pivot]

im legit wondering why lmao

[eager wagon]

Not gonna buy hyperos one I think

For some reason

[lethal pivot]

ye but its hard without stating one budget

lol

[eager cloud]

HyperOS is like so mid

I much preferred old xiaomi's MIUI 14<

[sick knot]

@eager cloud i prefer miui 6

[eager cloud]

Also what phone might be the best as of right now for anything under 3000PLN

As of HZ and inputlag

[sick knot]

@tidal ginkgo how much is 3000 pln in usd

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot Honestly, you'd think people would learn to use a currency converter. It's not exactly advanced magic.

As of right now, 3,000 Polish Zloty (PLN) is approximately $834.68 USD. Do try to keep up, the rates do, as always, fluctuate.

[eager cloud]

google

Oh

[eager cloud]

Wtf

[sick knot]

[eager cloud]

Max budget is 1k USD

But like absolute max

[sick knot]

@eager cloud honor win

need to import from china though

but its pretty much the absolute best you can ask for in term of spec

[eager cloud]

What the FUCK is honor win 🥀

Also the camera looks like it will wobble as fuck

[sick knot]

@tidal ginkgo please list out the spec of the honor win phone

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot Honestly, you're quite demanding with these technical specifications. Fine, if you insist on knowing every little detail about the Honor Win, here it is:

The Honor Win, released on December 25th, 2025, is quite the device, apparently aiming to conquer the gaming phone market.

Here are its key specifications:

• Display: It boasts a 6.83-inch FHD+ OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1272x2800 pixels and a 120 Hz refresh rate, though some sources claim a 185Hz refresh rate and 3500 nits peak brightness. It also features HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
• Processor: The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3nm) octa-core chipset with an Adreno 840 GPU.
• RAM & Storage: You can find it with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and storage options include 256GB, 512GB, or a hefty 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
• Battery: It comes with a substantial 10,000mAh battery, supporting 100W wired fast charging, 80W wireless charging, and 27W wired reverse charging. The battery is made of a ceramic safety coating and features an EIS detection chip for precise health management.
• Cameras:
  • Rear: A triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor (f/1.95 aperture with OIS), a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide-angle macro camera.
  • Front: A single 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor for selfies. [cite: 1,

For the airline i would go for

(poland > japan)

On the actual trip

[sick knot]

but yea

if you have that much money you have access to pretty much the best shit in china

[eager cloud]

That phon is like absolute banger you say

[sick knot]

but not so much if you are buying sayyy samsung or iphone

[eager cloud]

Hell no

I am NOT gonna choose iphone

My options are

Anything huawei samsung motorola xiaomi

Also realme

[sick knot]

motorola and xiaomi is shit

[sour phoenix]

Just buy s25 ultra and close this thread already

[sick knot]

huawei have to use their own silicon so its also shit

[eager cloud]

ggs

Also every xiaomi brand

[sick knot]

i dont think realme have any thing on this price point

[eager cloud]

Like poco which i have now

And i like it

[sick knot]

and samsung is uh... samsung

[eager cloud]

Smasnug

[sick knot]

i guess you can get an s25 plus

[eager cloud]

Give me mnoey

[eager cloud]

I mean i said what brands are my options

[sick knot]

@sour phoenix s25 ultra win tournament and all

[eager cloud]

Doesn't need to be samsung at all

If there is anything better

Oh we also have oppo in poland

[sick knot]

@eager cloud i mean, if that are all your options, samsung is the best choice

unironically

[sick knot]

maybe the oppo find x9 pro

but not certain about their availability there

[eager cloud]

5600 pln 💀

Almost double my budget

[sick knot]

what the fuck is your import tax lmao

its 700 dollars here

which is like 2600 pln

[eager cloud]

We also have oneplus, vivo, sony, asus, lenovo, blackview, ZTE/Nubia

[sick knot]

k, lemme vpn to your country for a bit

[eager cloud]

No demand that's why the price is shit

They would lower it if it was more popular

[eager cloud]

Poland.....

[sick knot]

@eager cloud https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/honor-win-win-rt/honor-win-12gb256gb?utm_source=google&utm_medium=plattforms&srsltid=AfmBOoqWu0USkn3zgeycIdO2-7x-6ay61ccfH4paxvWhFczTNYNT94ZfdwI

is this page legit?

[eager cloud]

Also never check X-kom, they are a premium middleman that assure products not be broken or anything

[eager cloud]

Imagine you can buy a phone for 3000 bit it is gonna be for 3500 there

[sick knot]

or this https://allegrolokalnie.pl/oferta/honor-win-12-gb-512-gb-bateria-10000?utm_feed=862ee648-9259-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002

[eager cloud]

O

Allegro

[sick knot]

2999 pln

[eager cloud]

That's like

Polish aliexpress

Except actually legit

[sick knot]

make sense

[eager cloud]

I have no idea how legit this site is

But no reviews makes me wanna go amogus

Also

I am searching for only 512gb storage

Forgot to mention the best part

[sick knot]

well the allegro listing should perfectly fit

512gb

[eager cloud]

Yuh

My phone now is 12/512

Poco x7 pro

[sick knot]

ok you arent wrong oppo find x9 pro price is actually silly

[eager cloud]

Also my 240hz monitor ass give me cancer on 120hz screen sometimes

[sick knot]

its supposed to be only slightly higher than the honor win

also the s25 plus is also 4500 pln

wutdahell

💀

[eager cloud]

Wait

Honor has their own polish site

Wtf

[eager cloud]

Is that bad

Also idk wtf is s25 plus

I slept in phones

In the past year

[sick knot]

https://allegrolokalnie.pl/oferta/samsung-galaxy-s24-ultra-12256gb-titanium-black-jak-nowy-gw-24m-sklep-tjn?utm_feed=862ee648-9259-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002 at least the s24 ultra can be have for 3k

256gb though

[eager cloud]

Oh it's just samsung

Yeah that's normal price

Wdym

[sick knot]

no its not normal

[eager cloud]

Z fold 7 is for 10k pln

[grave cairn]

sams*ng

omg

[eager cloud]

It's normal here

[sick knot]

thats the plus

not even ultra

[eager cloud]

New phones are always over 4k pln

In their base model

When they're new flagship line

[sick knot]

the thing is that samsung s line up have 3 phone

base s

s plus

and s ultra

[eager cloud]

Yuh

[sick knot]

really only the s ultra should be flagship tier price

[eager cloud]

Ultra is 6000pln

And base is 3500pln

Welcome to poland

Where 3600pln is the lowest wage

[sick knot]

last year s24 ultra price already cut in half is crazy

like this is more in line with what im expecting

but anyway

[eager cloud]

It's normal in poland for previous line up to lose half of it's value on used market

When fold 8 will be released i could get fold 7 for like 4-5k pln xd

[sick knot]

@eager cloud foldable is kinda special though

they lose value extremely quickly

[eager cloud]

I love z fold 7

[eager cloud]

Because bend usage

[sick knot]

because the cost of replacing the screen is absurd

basically the phone price

[eager cloud]

And you need to be EXTREMLY careful with the big screen

Even a nail can scratch it

[sick knot]

so people only want to use them when they are new and the screen is in perfect condition

[eager cloud]

I would literally want z fold 7 just for the fact of it and watching videos on a bigger screen

[sick knot]

anything less and you risk having a phone with screen that soon to go bad

@eager cloud buy a trifold

[eager cloud]

HELL NAHHHH

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/922453975867998258/1383548100609708164/szkoda.gif

Wait

Actually

@sick knot what might be the best tablet for osu! Droid

[sick knot]

probably the red magic tablet

red magic astra

not the absolute top spec rn

but more than enough

[eager cloud]

Sad graphics tablets doesn't work on android

[sick knot]

https://pl.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=STABZTENRMN512GMWIFB&srsltid=AfmBOor_vP20MDKljO691dY_E-_SvugdY94TruivOAr9Q54iRmNpc83wHPw

[eager cloud]

Except windows emulator with 40 fps

[sick knot]

refurb for 1800 pln

nice if true

[sick knot]

💀

@eager cloud is this legit?

but yea if you want best tablet for droid

its this

[eager cloud]

That is legit

Never seen this site but too believeable

When then say 7-15 day delivery

[sick knot]

bruh

[eager cloud]

That's normal for import

From kinda anywhere

EXCEPT JAPAN

[sick knot]

anyway im not super familar to polish phone market so its the best i can do to suggest

[eager cloud]

It took 2 months to get my mouse from china

[sick knot]

feel free to pick

[eager cloud]

True

[sick knot]

but imo, honor win if phone, red magic astra if tablet

[eager cloud]

But i wonder if it would be possible

To make myself an osu! Droid tablet

Buy the screen itself and install raw android on some motherboard

[sick knot]

[eager cloud]

Huehuehue

[sick knot]

sponsored by protonvpn

[eager cloud]

Yo realest shi

No wait im restarted

I could just buy the best touch screen monitor

And install android emulator

[sick knot]

i dont think there is any standalone touchscreen monitor doesnt suffer from either dog shit touch latency or tragically low refresh rate

[eager cloud]

This is the best touch screen that you can get that has above 75hz https://ehomewei.jp/products/lqg-156pw?utm_source=chatgpt.com

[sick knot]

the astra have 165hz

soooooo

[eager cloud]

A couple of hz bro

Latency is the king

[sick knot]

i mean i can guarantee the astra also have lower latency

[eager cloud]

ggs

[sick knot]

big screen = hard to achieve good response time/touch latency

you cant beat physics

[eager cloud]

I mean

You CAN

Using hall effect

[sick knot]

bruh wth are you on

[eager cloud]

There is a hall effect tablet project

[sick knot]

[eager cloud]

That has 8k hz

Insteed of 133-200 standard

[eager cloud]

Bro doesn't know you can use hall effect as a pointer device

[faint sequoia]

Any talk about latency is invalidated the moment you use an emulator

[eager cloud]

Nahh trust

-2 latency

I played osu! Droid before on my PC but with a normal tablet and KB

[sick knot]

i mean joystick is a pointing device

[eager cloud]

Yeah

[sick knot]

but definitely never heard of hall effect touch screen

or any screen

[eager cloud]

You can make a hall effect PCB under the screen

And you'll need a magnet over your finger

Easy to do with tape

[sick knot]

bruh

[eager cloud]

Eggsacly

[sick knot]

that sound like it will work like ass

not to mention the massive cost of such sensor array

[eager cloud]

I mean

To make a tablet sized PCB and everything

It was around 100$

180x100mm

Usable area*

[sick knot]

but you cant just have just a few sensor for that large of an area

magnet field is not strong enough

you see in hall effect controller and key

those sensor are milimeter away from the magnet

[eager cloud]

few

[eager cloud]

This was already tested and everything

It has 8k hz and absolutely works

But there is no driver or firmware

[sick knot]

allat for 100 bucks?

[eager cloud]

For the first prototype

That pcb is around 20$ alone now

From what i rememebr

[sick knot]

ok guess im eating my word, never know hall effect sensor are that cheap

seems like pennies per sensor

[eager cloud]

They are cheap a bit

But depends on what are you using them at

For a project like this

It's not that bad

[eager cloud]

Literally you @sick knot

Also a funny question, does refresh rate means less input lag?

Because on PC that is literally the case, the more fps the better but idk about phones

[sick knot]

yea

[eager cloud]

so 240hz phones are top tier if i have unlimited money basically

[sick knot]

except there is no "real" 240hz phone yet

yes, the sharp aqous r8 does not count

[eager cloud]

https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/honor-win-win-rt/honor-win-16gb1tb

This looks too sexy to be true

The import must be

MASSIVE

When the product itself is only 2800PLN

[eager cloud]

Ggs

[eager cloud]

What about aquos zero 2

It's upcoming to japan

New shi

[sick knot]

basically, nothing with less than snapdragon 8 elite will support "real" 240hz

and even now the highest refresh rate we see is 185Hz

oneplus plan to launch the oneplus 16 with at least 200Hz screen

most likely 240Hz

but still need to wait and see

[sick knot]

please recheck name, the zero 2 was released in 2020 already

[eager cloud]

Whar

[sick knot]

https://www.gsmarena.com/sharp_aquos_zero_2-10259.php

[eager cloud]

Oh wait yeah

[sick knot]

[eager cloud]

Google scammed me

[sick knot]

all sharp aquos phone with 240hz panel only render 120 real frame

[eager cloud]

ggs

[sick knot]

120 remaining are just black screen

the technique was called black frame insertion (BFI)

[eager cloud]

Why don't we make 1080p phone just to rump up the refresh rate to 300 using the fastest screen type

[sick knot]

not enough sweaty mobile gamer

[eager cloud]

Just like the 240hz TN panel incident in 2020

It was like the hottest thing to buy

And cheap as hell

[sick knot]

to sweaty gamer

[eager cloud]

ggs

[sick knot]

nobody care

[eager cloud]

We need more osu! Droid players

[sick knot]

even 165hz is already considered a gimmick

[eager cloud]

To push samsung to make world's first 500hz phone

[eager cloud]

My 240hz monitor trained eyes can tell the difference between 120/144/165

😭

Also could you somehow help me with optimizing my phone for osu! Droid

[sick knot]

get good first

good gear only uncap you

it doesnt make you play better

imagine best gear, still get clapped by 60hz player

[eager cloud]

I mean

I wouldn't say im bad

I just need to get used to play with a fingor

[sick knot]

win tournament when

[eager cloud]

I have tapping

Im literally 11k pp speed player on bancho

Guh

[sick knot]

[eager cloud]

But my technique makes me wanna

Kms

I tap with 3 fingers on KB

[sick knot]

pls enjoy game

🫃

[eager cloud]

And on droid im forced to play with 2

[eager cloud]

ą

Also gonna check how is the import to poland for Honor Win

3900PLN

After VAT

Because poland

23% VAT of the product's original price

Grrrr

Well shiiii

But that phone seems insane for it's price

Also china gatekept phone so + funny points

[sick knot]

chinese phone market is just hyper competitive

so everyone race to the bottom in term of price

(except apple, they play their own game)

[eager cloud]

Wtf

[untold heath]

i dont see samsung

[sick knot]

who buy samsuck in china

lmao

[untold heath]

oh it's china

i thought its vietnamese

[eager wagon]

China brands dominate the globe

meanwhile south Korea brand

[eager wagon]

I mean

pushing high refresh rate just for droid is not a buff most of the time

[lethal pivot]

thers not even a true 165 panel yet no?

[sick knot]

hello person from 2022

rog 7 already have real 165hz panel

aka, my phone

[eager wagon]

what's asorik phone atm

he is Rog too

Afaik

[sick knot]

dunno

[eager wagon]

he did reach 185hz

iirc

Playing droid

[sick knot]

must be rog 9 pro

[eager wagon]

Oh

[sick knot]

actually rog 9 and 9 fe also have 185hz panel

so any of those

[eager wagon]

Yep

That's checks it out

imagine playing play umamusume with that refresh reate

*rate

[sick knot]

but yea seems like its still tops out at 185 for now

[sick knot]

still waiting

[lethal pivot]

oh

240hz

[eager wagon]

What is one pluses cooking

All of a sudden

[sick knot]

brainfart moment

[eager wagon]

-Nero Yuki- do yk redmi 15c has 144hz?

[sick knot]

its not like high refresh rate ips/oled panel doesnt exists

@tidal ginkgo does the redmi 14c have 144hz screen?

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot A 144Hz screen on a Redmi 14C? Don't be absurd. The Redmi 14C features a 6.88-inch HD+ LCD display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. While it's not 144Hz, it's still quite smooth for a budget device, apparently.

[eager wagon]

whoopsie

Mb

yea redmi 15c

[sick knot]

@tidal ginkgo what about the redmi 15c

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot Still fixated on refresh rates, are we? Very well.

The Redmi 15C, and its 5G variant, both feature a 6.9-inch HD+ display with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. So, no, it's not 144Hz, but 120Hz is still quite smooth.

Beyond the display, it's powered by a MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra processor (or a Dimensity 6300 for the 5G model) and boasts a rather large 6000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. It also comes with a 50MP main camera and an 8MP front camera.

@tidal ginkgo redmi 15 has 144hz?

[tidal ginkgo]

@eager wagon Yes, the Redmi 15 features a 6.9-inch Full HD+ LCD display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate. It can adapt the refresh rate between 60Hz and 144Hz based on usage.

Guys meizu lucky 08 or iqoo z9 5G(china) ?

[lethal pivot]

add a bit more and go for z9 turbo

[prime wharf]

z9 cn or just add a bit more for z9 turbo

[sick knot]

if it will be your daily driver and dont like working around some annoyance of chinese only phone, meizu lucky 08

[worn sinew]

iphone 18 pro max

[marble helm]

Don't want to add more bc I want a new phone so bad

[eager wagon]

Are u on a budget?

[marble helm]

Yeah

[lethal pivot]

state your budget

but judging you want to go with z9 5g

your budget actually is eh

[marble helm]

185 usd(11k pesos)

[remote veldt]

get a s21 fe?

[marble helm]

Around 290 usd in my country 💔

[remote veldt]

then atleast get a old flagship with 120hz

im using a zflip 4

[sick knot]

ah yes, the phone where replacing the fragile screen cost roughly the same as the whole phone

lets buy them used so you are guaranteed to pay full price no warranty for such replacement

brilliant idea!

[sick knot]

truth to be told, this is one of the price point where buying used flagship wont help you "as" much

supposedly you will get stuff with the snapdragon 888 and its such a piece of hot garbage you are better off with just a phone with an sd 865 instead

if you REALLY are all into the performance, i think a xiaomi k50 ultra

the con is that you arent just buying any xiaomi, you are buying a chinese only xiaomi

but if you have some time to workaround its hurdle it should be the best value in the price range

supposedly if you live near me i can sell my old rog phone 7 for like 160 bucks

but alas, it looks really beaten up

[marble helm]

I read reviews on this phone, they said it has pink or green line issue, also I'm not all into performance, I just want any other phone than tecno or shitfinix

Bc it has touch issues

[sick knot]

unfortunately green line is pratically unavoidable in old flagship circa 2020-2021

due to immature new screen tech

not just the xiaomi

sony or samsung also suffer the same problem

this is also a pretty bad time to buy phone (or really any computer)

since the you know what

[lethal pivot]

"buy x"

"but x has 1 problem and 2 problem"

"then buy y"

"y also got 3 problem and 4 problem"

it depends on how well you use and take care of it

my samsung s20 fe still going strong till this day

gave it to my dad and no greenline issues

[sick knot]

you pay for what you get

[lethal pivot]

exactly

[sick knot]

unless someone dont know what they have

and you steal profit from them

[lethal pivot]

if you keep saying this then save more

[sick knot]

but its a really case-by-case thing

[lethal pivot]

get a pc or invest idk

[sick knot]

like, as far as one concern, these 2 are fine

144hz is a bonus for sure

[marble helm]

So which one should I get?, I don't really care much abt performance

Just no touch issue

[sick knot]

probably iqoo z9

the thing is that one critical thing that decide if you will have the miserable ghost touch is if the phone getting hot

so i would say you should still buy a performant phone, since good chip = less heat to do same work = screen happy

the 7s g2 is fine

but i dont think for much longer, its rapidly aging

obviously the bigger thing is to not push the phone to become a fire brick too often

like playing all the fancy 3d gacha, use phone when charging etc.

[marble helm]

Yeah I won't do that

Also what is ghost touch

[sick knot]

1 type of touch issue

basically touch when you dont do anything

[marble helm]

Never experienced that

What I mean by touch issue is the multi touch btw

[sick knot]

you mean you cant use more than 2 tap at the same time?

[marble helm]

More than 5

[sick knot]

why do you need more than 5

you mean it has 5 multi touch when you only input 1 or 2?

[marble helm]

My current phone only supports up to 5 inputs at the same time

[sick knot]

ok bro why do you need more than 5

[marble helm]

Which I think is the reason the screen gets stuck

[sick knot]

nope

its something else

[marble helm]

Then what is it

[sick knot]

sure 10 is common

[sick knot]

who know, i dont have your phone

[marble helm]

It's Pova 7 if that helps

[sick knot]

right, the wannabe gamer trap

[ember prism]

Mlbb and free fire phone 🔥

[marble helm]

I thought it was good bruh😭, since it's much more expensive than my last phone

[sick knot]

its probably just down to them doing funny thing behind the scene software wise to supposedly help competitve mobile player

while fucking up other niche case

niche case being this game

@tidal ginkgo is the tecno pova 7 use helio g99 soc or equivalent?

[tidal ginkgo]

@sick knot It seems you are quite curious about these mechanical trinkets. To answer your question: yes, it is an equivalent, though "equivalent" is a bit of a modest term for it.

The Tecno Pova 7 (the 4G version) typically uses the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate. Think of it as a refined version of the Helio G99—it shares the same 6nm architecture and core structure, but with slight optimizations for better camera processing and display handling. If you are looking at the 5G model, however, it steps up to the Dimensity 7300 Ultimate, which is significantly more powerful.

It is a pragmatic choice for those who want a massive battery without spending a fortune. Though, if you were hoping for a device that could out-calculate a witch’s mental arithmetic, you might be disappointed. My mind is still far more efficient than any 6nm chipset, I assure you.

Now, do you have any more questions, or can I get back to my tea? Traveling is exhausting work, and these questions don't pay for my room at the inn.

[sick knot]

the g99 and friends ah

[lethal pivot]

i pity you

[marble helm]

Thought it won't have issue so I bought it

[lethal pivot]

dare i say most those "gaming phone" marketed phones isnt even made for gaming

[sick knot]

its budget slop

what do you expect

[lethal pivot]

they only call it gaming phone because of the box itself

and these so called "collab"

[marble helm]

True

[sick knot]

truly the time that android user want to forget

[prime wharf]

samsung slop (a07) with ips screen is too op

[worn sinew]

told u iphone is the way

[marble helm]

Guys doesCN roms support 5g WiFi?

[sick knot]

no problem

[lethal pivot]

hell wifi 6 even

[sick knot]

i mean wifi 6 is still 5GHz

6GHz band is available with wifi 7

[lethal pivot]

ye

[sour phoenix]

i got wifi 5 in 2026

[eager wagon]

@sick knot

is poco f3 on the avoid list?

[sick knot]

not really, it is better than the x3 pro in terms of thermal and build quality

the only thing make it bad is miui/hyperos but that apply to all xiaomi phone

[eager wagon]

i see

[storm charm]

i had an f3

good phone, just make sure to custom rom it

[eager wagon]

No touch issues whatsoever?

Cuz the one I am having has touch issues

[storm charm]

i didnt have touch issues ever

[sick knot]

yea it could be a known issue with miui 12.5.8 onward

it is a software issue, not hardware however

and can be solved with custom rom

or by never update the phone

[eager wagon]

Uhh

i am on hypcuck os

So that's why

And not to mention js replaced the screen

[lethal pivot]

damn

[calm torrent]

is motorola razr 50 ultra good?

[sick knot]

and may i ask why you think a foldable screen was ever a good idea for droid?

[calm torrent]

165hz

i once saw here that the higher ur refresh rate, the better for droid

/j.

[faint sequoia]

Foldable screens are less rigid so you wouldn't want to put too much pressure on it

[rustic fjord]

I don't know a lot about phones but my poco x7 pro hasn't been facing any problems with osudroid

[calm torrent]

@faint sequoia sd8sgen3 or sd8gen2

[sick knot]

8g2

[eager wagon]

8g1 is not good now? @sick knot

[faint sequoia]

wdym now

I'm not aware of any new 8G1 phones

[eager wagon]

I meant if the chipset is still good in 2026?

[faint sequoia]

Pretty good but the SoC is only as good as the devices that have it, and almost none of them can contain the heat

[sick knot]

s8g1 performance efficiency regressed from 888, which is already a regression from 865

you get like 10% better peak performance at the cost of 2x power usage

so yes, no phone can withstand that piece of shit in heavy duty use case

8g1+ however is a much need course correct. and finally show a better performance compared to 865

[worn sinew]

for short, dont buy sd865, 888 and 8g1.

[sick knot]

865 is still fine, albeit a bit toasty

888 is where its really in the gutter

[swift osprey]

sadly, i became the person who uses A05s as a way of gaming...

[sick knot]

like, it wouldnt walk up to strangle you or anything

its "usable"

but using it past 1 year will be an exercise in patience

[swift osprey]

but the good news is, i'm still upranking as usual, as it feels like nothing bad ever happened...

[lofty meteor]

Like yes , i was upranking untill #70 with my old phone , but not further

After buying a new phone i instantly got +20

Like instantly

P2w game

[pseudo plaza]

[swift osprey]

[pseudo plaza]

I mean on that price to experience sdgs g4😭

[swift osprey]

[pseudo plaza]
