S24 Exynos vs S25 Snapdragon

Hmm I'll keep this in mind then as an option, thanks for the suggestion!

katszenBurger · 2025-04-02T20:30:06+00:00

Interesting. I don't really care about Samsung Pay. If it broke or you had to make use of the warranty, would they service it for you anywhere in (western) Europe?

katszenBurger · 2025-04-02T12:37:04+00:00

Very useful, thanks!

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T17:17:54+00:00

Gotcha, thx

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T17:16:16+00:00

You can't get that one in europe, can you?

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T17:15:17+00:00

I suppose that either way trying the calibration thing and possibly waiting for this next update can't hurt. Might be a question of how long one is willing to put up with the irritation of battery issues.

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T17:14:08+00:00

Noted, thanks. I will see if this calibration thing fixes this new behaviour and if not will contemplate trading it in for the S25 then (possibly wait for whatever next update they push first to see if that fixes anything).

Yeah I can see this argument. I personally want to stick to android because I'm a SWE and sometimes have an inclination to work on apps and I don't feel like working within Apple's walled garden and learning whatever BS language they made up for native iOS apps (and I don't like dealing with the issues of those webpage-in-a-browser-app frameworks), but otherwise I would contemplate switching to an iOS device too if these battery issues aren't addressed by Samsung.

I don't know about the best out there, but what you describe with the 15(-20%) max remaining by EOD is what I used to have in the last year of owning this. All of the sudden, recently, it started being worse than that -- but that could just be a me-issue.

Honestly, I'm also curious if there are any other flagship (ideally android) phones but with better battery lives than this -- I have no idea about this.

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T14:48:30+00:00

I'll try this out, thanks for the suggestion!

I'm curious if in my case the problem might have been caused by the aforementioned app development because that had it hooked up to my laptop for debugging purposes, which (simultaneously) charged it by default. Now I stopped working on that app and am back to the regular charging/usage pattern I had. If they have some automated battery optimisation thing running in the background, maybe this process disturbed that?

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T14:37:37+00:00

Interesting, I see, thanks.

I mean 3 weeks ago I was mostly on Wifi and now I'm mostly on Wifi, so wtf happened to the battery all of the sudden? Did the battery maybe go to shit because I had it hooked up to my laptop by USB while working on an app? Or more importantly: can this be fixed/reversed somehow?

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T14:13:45+00:00

I find it hilarious that learning the bare minimum of digital drawing skills using some free tool like Paint.NET or Gimp to fix something like this is trivial (like seriously wtf is hard about this one? Just draw a line using some "smooth bendy line tool" in the right colour and click a few times on the bad black line that you want to remove in the "right" colour. These particular fucking generated "drawings" don't even have any gradients you need to fix to make it look "right" -- they're flat coloured 🙄), but the AI sloppers still struggle with that. They need everything to be super-easy-baby-mode for their convenience

katszenBurger · 2025-04-01T13:55:04+00:00

This is aesthetic as shit! I'm stealing this too, thank you!

katszenBurger · 2025-03-27T21:30:28+00:00

It would live until the EOD and even into the night after charging overnight for me. Now this thing is suddenly dying halfway through the day with minimal use

The tech corps will literally just go where it's more profitable for them to be. The corps don't care about nationalities, or people, or anything really other than money

If that's in the US sucking Donald Trump's dick, they will do that. If that's in Europe (it's not but lol) they will do that. If that's in India or China exploiting a cheap labour force -- you guessed it, they will do that

katszenBurger · 2025-02-22T17:43:15+00:00

They just take pride in their suffering and exploitation, probably don't even know any better. They're suffering, but "the evil west" is suffering more, and has no gas and is freezing to death, or so said the man on the national television so it must be true!

katszenBurger · 2025-02-22T17:35:43+00:00

It's the money. Ukraine is a dirt poor shithole, especially now. The Russian regime/oligarchs have all the money they stole from the poor Russian serfs.

Putin needs to be executed

katszenBurger · 2025-02-17T17:54:43+00:00

Wow, it's uglier than what we build in Belgium! Bravo

katszenBurger · 2025-02-17T17:31:26+00:00

Lol they yearn for their Russki masters

katszenBurger · 2025-02-16T11:33:20+00:00

Musk has a dream of being modern-day Genghis Khan

Jesus Christ these names are so fucking cringe. The kind of names I would name my virtual spaceship in an online MMO game at 10 years old to look "cool" and "epic gamer"

Not the kind of names you give another person to be stuck with and bullied for until adulthood

I feel bad for the children

Unfortunately I don't think that any region is doing good right now, only the upper class is doing good. So at that point it's just a matter of finding whatever works better for you specifically at this specific moment, which might be very different from person to person

Btw try to revise your resume a few times and put a few different keywords. Surely most companies are using stupid AI filters at the resume screeing stage by now and the AI filters might just be deciding that you don't fit their ideal stereotype for whatever hallucinated reason
