I have a rooted chinkphone with lineageos for the past couple of years and don't see the point of upgrading it really, smart phones are pretty pointless to me other than time wasting when I'm out of the house and can't use a laptop

>praising chinkshit relentlessly while shitting on apple and samsung bravo
Landon Hall
they really do deserve as much shit as they get if not more considering what a huge market share they have and how little they actually innovate or try to bring their consumers a higher quality product. They just comfortable with outdoing each other with as little effort as possible every year or so.
Alexander Phillips
Asking again for more ideas: Any phone recommendations with a budget of $100-150?
Only thing that matters is it doesn't lag when opening apps or having multiple apps open, and has 16GB or more of space. If below that, an SD reader would be nice.
Someone suggested E4 and E4 Plus but I'd like to see other options. Carrier is T-Mobile / /AT&T
Elijah Miller
I didn't really buy it when people were calling out the OP5 for copying the iPhone design because of the camera placement, but I'm starting to see it
>not the original poster. >apple is trash, undoubtedly. >but what makes Samsung into samshit? what's so bad about Samsung? It's probably that they've been taking the "meme features" route instead of sticking to having practical ones. just my observation

Reminder today is the unveiling of the MI A2.
Justin Stewart
I'm kinda confused, are Mi 6X and Mi A2 the same phones with different names for different regions?
Julian Jackson
only meme i see with the S9 or S8 is the curved screen, but its really the tiniest curve. doesn't get in the way like in the first iterations of it. isn't there a more defining feature to justify all the hate?
Zachary Allen
I am seeing a LOT of notched phones on my bus ride to work these days

Thoughts on the Nokia 7 plus? I'm thinking of getting one, it'll be my first smartphone
Thomas Rodriguez
Same phone. Should be fucking powerful as shit with a snapdragon 660.

Into the trash it goes.

What Xiaomi did previously is release Mi 5X in China with MIUI, and then release an Android One version of it globally, which is the Mi A1. So if the same happens again you'll have Mi 6X in China with MIUI, and Mi A2 elsewhere with Android One, both with the same hardware.
Thanks anons. Looks like a sweet phone apart from the somewhat weak-ish battery, but I guess the 660 makes up for it with being very efficient. I feel bad for Nokia 7 plus, I mean it got shit on by Mi Note 3 anyway prior to its release but these new phones from ASUS and Xiaomi are just the final nail in the coffin.
Ayden Campbell
Are there any livestreams for the Mi A2 reveal?
Owen Adams
Now if xiaomi made a good phone with an OLED display then it would be a serious contender. That and android one.
Cameron Gonzalez
I work for an intelligence agency and we're no longer allowed to bring Chinese branded mobile devices into the office. I've heard this is the same for corporate too. Anyone else have any experiences? Also begs the question how is a device designed, manufactured and assembled by Chinese any different to a device only assembled by them.
Jaxon Mitchell
We're currently in something of slowly escalating trade war with china I would not be surprised if it was purely political.
Robert Flores
>i work for an intelligence agency >lemme post it on a mongolian forum Off you are self.
You appear to not have intelligence working for an intelligence agency. In short quality control is done by the non chink owned companies which have to meet US standards, we have been at war technologically with the chinks for some many years now, alphabet agencies don't have the backdoors to their phones and don't know what is in them and they are butthurt by that.
Joshua Stewart
Don't China hide audio bugs in random electronics for corporate espionage?
I remember seeing something about someone finding an audio bug with attached sim card inside a powerline adapter from their office.
Josiah Evans
They do, they don't really need to anymore though, people love buying chinkshit and just handing over their data.
Hunter Richardson
All this shilling against chinkshit is downright ridiculous. Chinkshit is most likely botnet to the max, but no less than non-chinkshit (most of which is still ironically made in chinkland under chink factories anyway). This autistic fear of Huawei and such is almost entirely political. All phones are botnet, even with all FOSS. CPUs are backdoored and GPS tracking is real. Either accept this compromise or be coherent and don't use a cell phone at all.
Thomas Gonzalez

Chase Miller
I'm coming from a chink phone (Redmi Note 4G). Looking to buy an S7 new from Amazon. Is it still worth it? Living in Canada btw
Oliver Garcia
Get the new a series from samsung instead or wait a bit for the s8 to drop in price.
Luke Adams
What the actual fuck? I just read that the iPhone 8 is more powerful than Android phones... When the fuck did Apple start putting actually worthwhile hardware into their handsets and how the fuck did they get superior hardware? I won't stand for this shit.
Camden Nelson
What's the average price for a brand new S8 now and are the ones on ebay legit? Seeing brand new ones for £400 odd but amazon has them for £500, and the guy who's selling them for £500 is getting awful reviews
Ian Ortiz

I finally unlocked the full auditory potential of my RMN3P by resoldering the headphone jack with proper solder (after said headphone jack started dying on me)
Holy shit the improvement is massive. For the record, I used Kester 275 lead-free (What I use at work).
I'm starting to understand why I'd not necessarily mind a phone without a built-in jack. Opening that thing multiple times to resolder shit is a pain.
Noah Ross
What's the best phone under $300? Xiaomi Redmi Note 5? Or is there anything else good coming up?
Jordan Young

What does Jow Forums think about the new Moto Jow Forums6?
>he thinks he's escaping the botnet by not using google If you have phone service, you're still in a botnet and can easily be tapped. Just embrace it and allow the convenience Google provides into your life.
I wouldn't trust amazon for electronics unless it's amazon fulfilled. For ebay I'd say only the ones with the most stars are legit

Convinced girlfriend to finally put her aging iphone5 to rest She has a budget of about $400-500 max Camera quality is pretty important So is the lack of bloated software
>closest thing to a Jow Forums pic I have on my emptied phone
never considered buying a Chinese phone before, or something so expensive from aliexpress, but the Mi Mix 2s is on sale, almost $800 Canadian dollars or $600USD
worth it? do i need to worry about my data being sent to china? or my package getting lost in the mail? warranty on the phone?
When will I actually be able to get a Mi A2? Is it gonna be another flipkart exclusive pajeet phone? An SD660 at that pricepoint sounds really nice.
James Howard
Don't do it, Windows phone is dead. The processor is pretty shitty, but the problem you'll have is not being able to run apps. Microsoft is giving up on Windows Phone so it's only going to get worse.
3GB is perfectly serviceable for Windows Phone, but it's a dead platform that won't allow you to make use of the hardware.
John Hall
You've been having no problem havinng it sent to the NSA until now, I don't see what's different.
Alexander Butler
>expensive chinkphones ahahahahahahaha
Michael Harris
Windows Mobile is a pain in the ass. The platform died years ago, so don't expect any app you'd need, I'm pretty lucky to have a working banking app. But beside windows mobile, it's a pretty good phone
Daniel Carter
since it's refurbished you may or may not run into problems with it, but otherwise looks fine
Colton Campbell
I don't give a fuck about it running Android, fuck Android.
Tyler Baker
Yikes
Austin Anderson
Like what apps? I primarily use my phone to browse Jow Forums, compose emails, and watch the occasional YouTube video. What does windows not have that I can't at least get a client for?
Josiah Myers
that might be true, but CN seems more intense about data collection like there's that whole social scorecard system, they'll know i post on Jow Forums and give me a lower status (if i ever travel there)
it has good specs and reviews, are there comparable phones that you would recommend for the price?
Grayson Jones
180cad for a web browsing device is a bit much unfortunately, and yes you will get annoyed at having to browse the web for everything that isn't calls/texts
wording this
Kayden Myers
There is literally nothing wrong with a chinkphone so long as it has the ability to install another OS.
>Browse Jow Forums Might have a shitty app available with ads, or you can use the browser and have a buggy experience >compose emails fine if you're using outlook i guess, no gmail app >youtube There was a bootleg youtube app that was ok but you had to pay to unlock features. There's no official Youtube App.
If someone asks for your snapchat you can just act smug because it's simply not available.
Josiah Peterson
The whole "social credit" system has been proposed, but not yet implemented, and it will only affect chink citizens. I don't condone it, but the American media is painting chinkland as a much more monstrous place than it actually is.
Brody Murphy
Nothing worse than any other phone at least. The CPU backdoor and the GSM antenna are still serving the botnet. And even if you couldn't install another OS, the only thing that changes is who gets the information.
Sebastian Price
no noise cancellation probably horrible support cpu is not much over normal phones despite having 2gb more ram it's chancy... i would if it was 400 usd but chink phones for 1/3rd under normal is not enough of a discount imo

I'd rather kill myself over use snapchat, thank God there's no app and now I have a fag-friendly excuse

Aaron Williams
>Might have a shitty app available with ads, or you can use the browser and have a buggy experience I'm on Wm, and for Jow Forums, there are 2 good apps but the captcha is fucked so no posting, and the webms are soundless. The posting from edge is okay-ish, but it werks, the only issue is that the webms won't work embeded, they have to be opened with vlc >fine if you're using outlook i guess, no gmail app You can link your accounts to the outlook app, so any account is good. The app is pretty good, it's the one of the only ones still getting updates >There was a bootleg youtube app that was ok but you had to pay to unlock features. There's no official Youtube App. For youtube, you're right I've found a great free app (unless you want to cast) that supports background playing. If you use Messenger, you can't call, and there are no bubbles like in Android. I can't make the Facebook app to work because I only have 1 gb of RAM, but I've seen it on my friend's 950 and it seems good.
Hunter Murphy
Xiaomi experts, should I get a Redmi Note 5 for $300 CAD or a Mi Note 2 for $350?

Whatever happened to the days when we could give Apple flack over their iPhones being literal highway-robbery products with less than half of the processing power of Android phones that sell for half of their price? Fuck, this is the absolute worst timeline...
Sebastian Torres
I've had my redmi note 4 for about half a year now, absolutely loving it. However I've noticed the appearance of many stuck pixels on the screen. Is there any way to remedy this?
Gavin Ward
S8
Dylan Evans
Broke my s8 screen on holiday. It's still usable but I need to get it replaced before it starts chipping away and I wouldn't trust it around water anymore. The part alone is ~140 GBP and to get it fixed professionally it will be like 200 GBP. Considering how difficult it will be to fix it by myself, I might as well pay a little extra for the labour to get it done right. You can't simply replace the glass, since the LED, digitizer and glass are one piece. I suppose it makes it difficult for non-OEM manufacturers to make fakes. Note to anyone with an S8/S9: Smashing your screen is an expensive mistake.
Robert Myers
s9
Grayson Perry
Mix 2 is like 400 USD and the 2S isn't 50% better than it.
Tyler Ramirez
I'm sure you guys get this a lot, but why not? In the market for new phone. I've tried Apple, Samsung, and HTC. I've like Samsung the most, but not enough to really stick with them. How's the Pixel? Or what?
William Butler
Pixel is good but overpriced. It all comes down to preference but you really can't beat today's offerings from Xiaomi/OnePlus/ASUS in terms of price/performance. Don't believe memespouting faggots that just write them off as chinkshit and Chinese botnets.
Zachary Fisher
>chinese botnets I was planning on getting the OnePlus 6 when it came out, delicious 845 chipset, but since you say that I wonder if there's another phone I should be looking for instead. I don't think I absolutely need something as powerful, and I'd much prefer a regular 16:9 resolution phone and good sized battery
Nolan Ross
>16:9 If you're looking for a 2018 phone you're outta luck, that aspect ratio is literally dead. Last years flagships are very reasonably priced by now and a lot have 16:9 screens (HTC U11, Sony Xperia XZ1, Nokia 8).
Justin Russell
The XZ1 looks really good. The XZ2 premium has a snapdragon 845, 16:9 QHD res, and 800mah larger battery so that's really tempting too
It looks so good though. A phone worthy of replacing my droid turbo.. that I can then sell for like $30 US at most because it has some scratches on the bezel and the screen was replaced. And just as I think everything is going to be perfect... no headphone jack. Fuck
Daniel Gomez
Should I get an Essential Phone when it gets discounted again? I'm on Verizon so my options are limited, I don't really mind the notch either. Is the camera and software better now than it was awhile back?
