New phone help!

[tpoar]

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a new phone and could use some help if you can. 

 

I currently have a Samsung s9+ and i am looking for a new android phone. Currently I'm looking at the huawei p30 Pro and the Google pixel 4xl. Would you recommend one of these if so which one or would you recommend something else? Any help would be really appreciated thank you!

Nope.

There's a few phones to look forward to in the next couple of months, but it's hard to recommend anything when you haven't told us what your likes/dislikes in a phone are.

TLDR:
Those reading a summary of phones:

 

iPhones:
-  Good OS stable and simple (Lacks MANY customizations but if u are like me then u don't care because u Jailbreak the phone anyway getting stable software but also the ability to CUSTOMIZE MORE then even stock Android can which is hilarious. ALSO since rooting is pretty dead as a community rooting devices isn't really a thing anymore. While Jailbreaking has CONSISTENT developers tinkering and messing with iOS to make better tweaks, and new Jailbreaks for new iOS versions. For instance theres a Jailbreak for iPhone 11 pros on the latest Firmware RIGHT NOW, which is just insane that they managed to find enough exploits to get a new jailbreak that quick.)

 

- By far the best phones to repair and service. Reason being iPhones as u know are popular sure its annoying to have casuals have them compared to other phones. But because of this there are SO MANY PARTS for these things EVERYWHERE!. PLUS there super easy to repair I repair all devices Laptops, PCs, Android phones(Besides Samsung phones unless there a friend or family member), iphones, macs, servers, etc etc. And with my 14 ish yrs of experience doing so iPhones are the MOST REPAIRABLE Phone on the planet. Macs suck tho don't get a mac if u want some basic data integrity.  

 

- From the day a new iPhone is launched even if U ARE A HEAVY user u will easily get 2-3 yrs out of it before it starts to slow down. Once that occurs u make a backup of your phone, then wipe the phone completely in itunes. Once done u set it up as a new iPhone then MANUALLY move over your data to the phone. From what I can tell either the OS thats on that backup u made is corrupt or the data has some bad bits in it that slow your phone further. So what I've been doing ever since the first iPhone is the above. Once u move over your shit manually aka Photos, and music (fyi contacts, notes, app data should be saved into iCloud for these things) then u then get one more 2-3 yr cycle before the phone is useless. MEANING THATS a total of 5-6 yrs of life from a brand new iPhone. Compared to the best Android phone which is the Oneplus series only gets 2-3 yrs MAX and its done. 

 

 

Android:
- Pixels Trash after 1 yr useless DON'T buy 
           (Unless u get the Cheap A version at launch ONLY THEN should u get one)
           OS is trash, hardware is to weak to drive what there 

 

- Samsung phones are ALL TRASH. 
           (They have horrible software, never get updates, are the worst android devices to replace basic things like the screen n Battery(There worst then Apple), only
reason u should ever get one is if u are an Avid Android Rooter or Root developer. Then u strip the shit software from it and start clean I recommend I nice Clone of Oneplus's OxygenOS)

 

- Oneplus phones are the best the market has for AN ANDROID phone. 
            (They have Clean stock android but with a few features that google refuses to add making it functional and LIGHTWEIGHT. This allows the phones to last at least 2-3 yrs before slowing down if u bought it from launch. After this the hardware starts to shit itself. Even tho Oneplus is the best so far they still can't avoid the inevitable death that comes from no software updates or the hardware not being optimized for the recent version of Android. )

            Are pretty average to repair but because they release so many phones aka 2  a yr and there pretty small Getting parts is VERY difficult if u don't have previous contacts that u know to get parts from.

            Overall this is the best option to get as a consumer WHO USES A PHONE FOR EVERYTHING @Dave Lee. For fuks sake recommend what is the truth not what one looks the nicest at launch. 

 

- In summary Jailbreaking an iPhone makes it usable for those who like to customize there phone but hate Android and its dumpster fire of a Source code like I do. If u don't want Jailbreak then either deal with stock boring iOS or get a Oneplus phone every 2-3 yrs.
