r/phone

I mainly just trying to gauge who has had luck with getting their iPhone to dry out over time after water damage, or who has not….

I have an iPhone 12 that got some water damage and I’m just honestly trying to figure out if I should go ahead and buy a new phone. I’m not comparing models nor am I asking about buying. I am curious if anyone has ever had any luck waiting it out after water damage…

Here is where I stand, I believe rain got on my screen speaker in the notch in the top. My iPhone as already told me there is a hardware issue with Face ID. In fact that’s when I realized I had a problem. I try to keep my phone on because it likes to get stuck in boot up sequences which I suspect is related to the Face ID. I have already booted to recovery mode and downloaded my backup from the cloud. Long story short, I can use my phone but with only using the passcode and it takes a long time to get it to boot cause once it shuts down, it does that loop boot up sequence with the apple logo. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesn’t. Right now I just keep my phone on and hope for the best. I’m pretty tech savvy so I have already tried all the things on the interwebs/googles. I’m not asking for tech advice. I’m asking:

Is it worth still having hope that this phone might dry out over time? Or should I just rip the bandaid off and go get a new phone tomorrow? My plan was to just keep using it until it dies but I’m curious if anyone has had success after water damage….

been using it and yeah it's fine and i have no issues, but people on youtube, tiktok, ig and even telegram are saying that this os is shit

I'm really curious if the gap is really that big as people say, I'm using poco x7 pro and have an awesome gaming experience with dimen 8400

I need it ASAP I

someone help my phone and macbook keeps overheating in the heat because it’s summer now how do i fix this ? 😭😭😢😢😢😖😖

I switched from android to iPhone a few years ago and I was impressed by the camera, however the battery is AWFUL. Basically the only thing that is good about iPhones is their camera, and that is the most important aspect for me. However I do not want to deal with the battery problems anymore. I had multiple samsungs in my life and some had a pretty good camera when I bought them but as I used it it grew increasingly bad. It would also make my skin so bright in the pictures, and I am already way too pale. What phone should I get that has an incredible camera and a long lasting battery?

Samsung msgs are going away. This means google will probably try to force AI into my private texts. I do not want this, what can I do?

I really hate apple because the UI is not as intuitive as android. I would choose it over having AI crammed in my face, but I have a feeling that Apple probably has it's own AI crap to force on us.

What is the alternative?

(Also, miss me with that AI is inevitable talk. If others want to use it ok, but I say nope!)

Hello it's my first post here and I know it'd be silly of me askin such a ridiculous questions. But hear me out please. I'm sorry if my grammar or if I spell wrong I'm sorry, English isn't my first language. Okay so, my aunt got a new phone from her lil brother. He gave it to her for her I don't rlly know why. It's honor x9b 5g. With 256 gb of storage and I think 33w charging speed. And mine is Redmi note 11 pro+ 5g with 128 of storage and 120w charging speed. So, I wanna exchange my phone with hers and I don't know what to do and I'm not good at talking either. And all she does is watch YouTube. And scroll TikTok for a bit. So, I think it'd be a waste using that phone. And she doesn't need a lot of storage to do all that. And I really need that phone for my school stuff. Im an online Schooler. And I gotta do project with my phone. So it take a lot of space. And I gotta detele the previous project's stuff. I even about to get scolded for deteling them. So how can I convince my aunt to exchange phones with me. Please help, I really need your opinions. Thank you for reading.

hi guys, i hope you'll be able to help me to find an new phone, and i'm sorry if my explaination are bad, english is not my first language 😓😓

I am currently on an old samsung galaxy a52s with 6go of ram + 128 go, it is starting to be a little difficult to use it because of the battery, of the androidOS 14 that isn't anymore updated an many other things.
The most I can spend is 500€, or 550€ if I can find something else, but that's it. In resume, I'd need  : good camera quality above all else, decent battery life (not necessarily amazing), at least 256 GB of storage, long-term software updates, and stereo speakers, and, if possible, a reasonable weight and a size that isn't too big, at . Something I like about samsung is the way they treat the look of the photo, there's something "warm" about the render.

in my everyday life, i'm a design student, so that's why i need a phonne that take good pictures, day and night, even videos. So i'd also need a phone that have a good battery, but that's not the mos important bcs i can always charge it, i'd need a phone long-term software updates because i don't have that mych monney, so if i buy a phone, iI'd really like it to last at least 5/6 years. Something important is the stereo sound, because i know rhat some midle-range phone are just stereo, and about the sound, i know they don't do it this much recently, but a headphone jack would be cool. About the size and weights, I'd at least like it not to be bigger or heavier than my A52S, but that's only if possible; my other requirements are more important.

I have already started my research, but nothing really pop out. I've found the airphone 6, the honor 600, the xiaomi 14t pro, the samsung S25, A55, A56 and A57, i've also seen the google 9a and 10a, but i couldn't find something. I've looked primarily samsung's phones because i like their UI/UX, so i would prioritize a samsung phone, but if y'all have somethinng else i mind, lmk!!

I know that my range of price won't let me have a top high-range phone, if we say it like that in english, but a mid-range/upper mid-range phone.

I am sorry if my explaination aren't the best, if y'all need more details about what i want, lmk !!
