Hope it's ok to ask, lol. Rarely see any used ones. SC here.

I'm sure I'll get ripped for this but I've had the S25 since launch. Been a good phone, battery life is decent.

With my wife getting the S26 Ultra recently and the Pixel 11 coming out just had me wondering if a few phones were "better" in some areas.

1. iPhone 17

2. S26

3. Pixel 11

I do love the smaller sizes and weights but I do wish my S25 had better battery and speakers.

I haven't used an iPhone long term in 10 yrs or more. The build is nice, speakers/camera seem better than the s25 and I've read and watched videos saying battery is a tad better.

S26 might be a wash though. Same cameras, marginally better battery life and speakers may be very similar.

Pixel 11 seems to be the biggest unknown but has a bigger battery for sure. I had the Pixel 7 and 9/9 Pro but they all had terrible battery and modem issues.

Not saying I'm going to upgrade, just didn't know if either of those three were worth checking out.

Curiously looking and not much that I can find with reviews.

Been looking at Backmarket, Swappa and Marketplace, but coming up slim on Marketplace.

Do refurbs on eBay have a good warranty?

My dad that's retired and disabled has been using my old OnePlus 10t, been looking at the A37 for him, but anything else to possibly look at? Just needs a big screen. Not a power user but I fear using the OP for awhile newer mid-range models might be lacking.

My Poco X8 Pro just came in the mail but only has the charging cable. I read somewhere the xiaomi 33w charger does a good job with the hyper charging?

Not sure where to buy it due to fake chargers out there.

Possibly looking at upgrading to the 10P XL but curious how updates have been?

Thanks.

Looking to possibly buy either coming from the S25 256gb. Just wanted to know where the best place to purchase from with the best price possibly.

Both phones look great, just not sure how big the Max is in the hand.

Hey everyone.

Will be putting up an Intex 12x30 Prism soon and wanted to go the foam board route.

Did read somewhere the 1.5 inch XPS boards are "best" but would an inch thick be fine? I'll need t boards but trying to find what might work besides paying $32 a board.

Thanks.

Hey everyone.

Never put up a pool before in my 42 yrs but my wife wants one, lol. Looking to put up Intex 12x30 Prism before shoulder surgery next week and was curious as to what would be a good sand pump for that size?

Thanks for the suggestions ahead of time.

My TCL P605 is finally going out. White screen when turning on, having to unplug for 20 seconds then plug in, comes on most of the time.

For around $600, do I just get the QM6K? Some ppl have said try to go from a 55 inch to a 65.

I'm also looking at an open box QM7K 65 inch at a Best Buy for a good price. Also read wouldn't hurt to ask for a discount on the open box, they might bite.

TV would be in the living room, mostly bright. Does catch reflections from lights and the main window.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks.

I currently have an older TCL 55P605 from 2017, but it's going out and am looking at a 55" QM6K.

Will the wow factor be that good? I wanted the 55 inch Pro from Costco but my local store doesn't carry the 55 inch and would be delivered late May.
