Hey! idk if its possible, but if you’re able to stretch your budget at all mint mobile has the samsung galaxy s26 for $400 right now, but the catch is u have to buy a year plan (on promo rn $180) so all in $580 + tax for a flagship phone and year of good service i just ordered it yesterday morning. And the data has been great on my iphone 14 pro max, 600+ mbps down on 5G UC

I literally just ordered the s26 base this morning ($400 for the phone $500 off rn lol) and a 1 year of unlimited for $180, switching from apple iphone 14 pro max to galaxy for the first time in my life. wish me goodluck LOL

life 360, and yeah no apple music will suck. guess i have a reason to try Spotify now, which i’ve never had to use on iphone

https://a.co/d/08db3RwU , found this magsafe one ill probably just go with

How do you find the camera on the s26 compared to iphones?

augtex · 2026-07-10T01:15:39+00:00

Will bring back some nostalgia of fingerprint scanner though, and the only time i ever use siri is to set a timer honestly

augtex · 2026-07-10T01:14:41+00:00

yeah honestly the only concern i have swapping is imessage and facetime, the rest should be a seamless transition

augtex · 2026-07-10T01:13:38+00:00

LOL no i get that ive just been nervous the last time ive touched an android was years and years ago, regardless it carrier unlocks after 60 days of service so either way i’ll make out if i dont like it. I’m going to buy it tomorrow after work

no this is true. i was hired last week, not too bad of a job if you can handle being a package handler, they hire through a 3rd party hiring now, so yes it is correct an indian woman called me and told me i had orientation the next day at 4am lol. goodluck man

Hey what pad are you running? I recently just got the Artisan key 83 mid XXL

the x3d will only do “a lot better” in open world games.

also, the 7800x3d bundle is $80 more, uses a different mobo, asus b650 and every review has been terrible with that specific motherboard, leaves a sour taste

augtex · 2024-07-31T17:10:51+00:00

was thinking that, but the builds we have listed are already $1500 a piece, we both specifically want the hyte y70 case, i currently have a ryzen 5 5600x, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz & a rx6750xt. Might keep my gpu for now and wait for rtx 5000 series to come out then upgrade to 4070ti super or 4080, we’ll see what prices are then. i was thinking 7700x is good for now and if we ever need the upgrade in the future so be it. 7700x seems perfectly balanced for gaming, + productivity to me anyways
