a friend of mine haggled with his carrier to get a Google Pixel 2 XL for free (not paid as part of his monthly bill). Shouldn't I do that instead of getting a chinkphone from here?
Nicholas White
If you can yes
Nicholas Jenkins
when will sony come back? They had such cool comfy design 5 years ago. What happened?
true but people work with PCs already so if their phone was exactly the same I think it could work
Owen Moore
W10Pro on arm is comfy, their x86 emulation layer is super transparent if you're not using native apps, RT is excellent as well if you can compile your own stuff as well Native, m8
I am stuck with the RT gen 1, but I have this mental disability where I just can't get rid of old electronics. diagnose me, Jow Forums

is the difference of sd835 vs sd845 a game changer? Wanted a phone that will last up to 3 years+
Owen Rivera
Doubt I'll get a first hand answer, but has anyone used Caterpillar branded phones? Considering getting a Cat S60 near the end of the year once this phone's contract is finished. I want something reasonably hardy and the FLIR camera would come greatly in handy. I'd consider the upcoming S61, but its physically bigger than I want. Either that or see if the Xperia XZ2 Compact has a local release by then.

Should I buy a Lumia 950? Is windows phone a lost cause?

Currently using a Droid Turbo 2, and looking for an upgrade, but not sure the G6 will be an actual upgrade from what I have now. What should I get?

Just got given a cheap ZTE phone. I already have a main phone so I don't really need this one. What's some cool shit I could do with it?
Kayden Allen
Smash it because ZTE is a shitty company that sends your data to Iranian and North Korean regimes
Brayden Phillips
>implying I'll be putting any personal data on this thing
Mason Long
Any usage at all would have been helping authoritarian regimes study usage patterns of western citizens that would then be used to undermine the national security of countries in the west.
Jack Parker
Anyone planning on getting the Oneplus6. I'm on the fence whether or not I should get it. Also i've been looking at the xz1 for a while but I want something knew to upgrade to form my Note 3
Don't forget those who never actually own an Xperia phone complaining about the Omnibalance design
>Before XZ2: How dare they keep similar design language after all those years and not keep up with the times? (Don't forget MUH BEZELS) >After XZ2: How dare they change the design so dramatically? Now they are just the same slab as everyone else REEEEEE!!!!!!
If my Z3 Compact ever croaks I'll either get the XZ1 Compact or just get a Moto G5 Plus at this rate
Christopher Allen
An 18:9 5.2" Sony xperia xa2 with a side mounted finger print sensor would make Sony a zillion dollars. Sony is retarded though.
Bentley Brooks
redpill me on moto z's. how much of a meme are the add ons
the only that data would be used for is getting a slice of them western money and carving out a niche in our declining but still rich markets. You could make the argument that our figurative "national security" is tied to our "economic security" and by buying chink phones and tech you're accelerating the decline of the western markets. But there's virtually no phones that are made in the west and if they are they're supply chained from parts made in the east anyways so there's no road you can take here that does not benefit them (apart from not participating and we both know how much shit that'll get you)
Henry Harris
What is this heresy?
Ethan Mitchell
people who care about bezelless designs are so autistic. even worse if they like a phone that copies apple's bad design
Xavier Mitchell
So I'm thinking of getting the XZ1 compact, but I'm sort of offset by going from my LG g4, which is 5.2 inches, to 4.6 inches. Anybody wanna offer their experience? Mainly just text and look at photos, once in a while a video, and sometimes I do like some phone games.
I kinda feel the same in that Sony actually listens to these retards who don't have any vested interest. Having said that, I'm not a particularly big fan of the design language that was first used on the XZ (coincidently what I'm posting from), and feel as though the XZ2 will be a more comfortable phone to hold than this thing. I loved my original Xperia Z (C6601 from memory?) and felt as though the design kept improving up to the Z5. Knowing what I know now I should've gone with the X Performance instead of waiting for the XZ I currently have. It's excellent the XZ screen doesn't seem to be anywhere near as fragile as early Zeds though.
Adrian Harris
may I ask your budget and country? outside US and best value for money is the xiaomi mi note 3. You probably could find better by searching stock clearance sale and demo unit (the phone used for display). Or you can find cheaper used phone.
If money is not the problem or you have high budget, go for the flagship that known for good updates or have/may have treble support. Pixel2 comes to mind as well as nokia 8.
Andrew Hall
I'm such a horrible person. Please don't listen to me, I asked your country when you already mentioned it.
James Barnes
Im thinking about the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s, but then I heard about the OnePlus 6. The main thing that interests me is the phone actually being avaliable in my country (Burgerland), and resellers of the 2s are making it about $150+ more expensive than MSRP. But I see OLED and the notch as a slight downside. Sure, the notch can be turned off, but the potential of burn-in and the eventual degradation of OLED kind of bothers me. Is it worth buying one over the other, or should i just stick with my broken ass phone and wait until MicroLED?
Joshua Jackson
If you're that bothered about burn-in. Get some IPS LCD display in a mean time, there's some that can show great contrast and deep black. Nokia 8 is a good example. Weaker camera than both though.
Jeremiah Torres
Im not bothered, i just want an opinion of someone who is knowledgeable or has experience with AMOLED
Joseph Taylor
I used a Nexus One with OLED for years and never had a problem. Definitely prefer IPS I think these days, since I like the visibility in the sun and I think a good IPS is just an overall better performer than any AMOLED screen.
LG G4 used IPS, and it looked fantastic to my eyes. One of my favorite phones.
Mason Brooks
It depends on your luck and usage anyway. Also both of them are OLED, why the fuck comparing worth both of them by screen wise?
Jaxon Garcia
Does anybody here actually own a P20 Pro? The only thing holding me back at this point is scrolling lag and other performance shortcomings people are whining about on XDA. Are they just being turbo-autists or is the Kirin 970 actually shit? Mate 10/Honor 10 people also chime in please.
Asher Jenkins
Kirin SoC prone to throttling compared to SD ones. Hence you'd heard the shortcoming it cames from.
Noah Rodriguez
Sony XA2 or Nokia 6.1? or wait if theres a version of the Nokia X6 that will work in Canada?
Leaning to the XA2 and the 6.1 isn't out yet in Canada so i'd have to import.
Open to suggestions of similar phones that are newish and the same price/size range.
Austin Wilson
>Sony ruined their phone line completely and now have nothing interesting about them >Pixel 2 XL costs 1200€ >Iphone X costs 1200€ >Oneplus 6 has a garbage camera >Galaxy S9 has touchwizz
I trusted Oneplus to not fuck this up. Why is the camera always the thing everyone except Samsung/Google/Apple messes up. Even Sony has a shit camera despite their sensors being used in lots of great phones. Currently have a Z5 and would want a new phone with a better display/camera. A non-overheating cpu would be nice too.
Aaron Moore
I have one, battery life is great, regularly get 8 to 9 hrs sot on moderate usage. Not too many custom ROMs atm and Sony kind of made it a bitch to root but all in all if you want a great midrange device with a headcrone jack and decent battery life I'd go for it. The one complaint I have is as a handlet a 5.2" screen kind of sucks for one handed use.
William Stewart
I dropped my MI A1 and smashed the screen. Is there another chinkshit phone around that price or a bit more worth considering, or should I just get another one?
Ryder Turner
I own a nexus 6p with lineage os but want new phone cos mine dies at 80% Thinking about xiaomi mi7
Oliver Reed
>5.2" screen kind of sucks for one handed use One of the reasons I think I'd only go for a "compact" these days. Even then, they're mostly 5" screens which I feel should be standard for a regular flagship.
Well if you're just wanna turn off the notch, wouldn't you not mind burn in that area? It won't affect media consumption or the rest of the screen.
Brayden Harris
Sony phones are fucking beautiful.
Get another one. Or get Mi A2 (Mi 6X) if you have the budget for it. Don't listen to the other user, Redmi phones have shit build quality compared to Mi ones.
Dominic Johnson
Anyone excited about upcoming Xiaomi flagship?
Kevin Fisher
No need to upgrade, just update. Android AOSP extended if you can get it, else lineage. Might breath some life into that old gem
David Jenkins
own a Z Play, projector mod is a fun gimmick, but expensive
Chase Hughes
When will the notch meme end?
Anthony Powell
When the ifag XI comes out with a pop up camera never before seen on a phone. They'll also fuse the volume rocker into the power button.
Jaxson Bell
>pop up camera >never before seen on a phone I see what you did there
Logan Perry
New op5t selling for around $350 from where I live. Anything I should know before I jump the gun? Is the amoled screen burn a real big issue or is it just a meme?
Liam Watson
It's a meme. t. Galaxy S5 user
Anthony Diaz
It's mostly a meme unless your screen is completely white/bright on 100% brightness for 24-7 for several days, and if you keep doing that for months, sure, you could get burn in. But if you use your phone like a normal person, you won't get any burn in.
t. samsung note 4 user for the past 3 years with no burn-in
Nicholas Morris
>2year old phone >battery holds 2 days of moderate usage >web browsing and phoneposting works smooth >HAS sd card/3.5 jacl Is this the pinnacle of smartphone evolution? Aside from bad camera/weak max brightness it's pretty hard to justify any upgrade
John Ward
doesn't have notch
Easton Gutierrez
Thanks, lads. My current phone has a LCD display and I'm usually on 20-25% brightness. I only bump it up when checking the time outside, other than that I switch back to 25% below.
Connor Cruz
Any XZ1 compact users here? Do you miss a larger screen? I'm afraid I might... But at 350€ is it a good deal?
Jaxon Butler
Is the p20 non-lite, non-pro version any good?
Jack Parker
It should be illegal to sell smart phones without 100% free and open source firmware.
Levi Thomas

Nathaniel Ramirez
We already know the Samsung Galaxy S8 Lite is coming. In fact, high-quality renders for the device (in two different colors) leaked earlier this month. And now, it has come to light the device is being unveiled today.
What's different, however, is the moniker - the handset will arrive as Galaxy S Light Luxury. The information comes courtesy of press invites Samsung has sent out for the launch event.
Andrew Foster
I am seriously considering the opo 6. Just wait if you plan on buying it though. They always have first run production problems.
Levi Gomez
>Mi 8 has notch and chin Why?
>resellers of the 2s are making it about $150+ more expensive than MSRP ebay.com/itm/Xiaomi/222962833854 $555, MSRP is somewhere around $500-510 for this model. I got mine from this seller during eBay sale and it works fine on T-Mobile.
Because Mi (number) follows common designs. If you want a good looking and original Xiaomi phone look no further than the MIX series. They should've used the MIX design for new Mi devices. By the time Mi 8 gets released notch will be abandoned.
Cooper Hall
I heard they will skip mi7 and jump straight to 8
Lucas Edwards
They won't
Isaiah Rivera
WHERE IS APEX VIVO I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Source? If it has the edge gimmick just as the parent model, battery capacity of less than 3000 mAh and not a relatively competitive pricing it wouldn't gain much traction.
Ian Reed
I upgraded from my Nexus 5 a few months ago and it's been collecting dust aside from being used for Android dev stuff, what can I do with it? I was thinking of making a new Google account and install Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all those stuff for fun.
So disappointed with Sony's new designs. They were one of the only manufacturers to not fall for the bezelless rounded corner meme, and they've thrown that all away now. How anyone thinks pic related is bad is beyond me
