Hopefully the lack of LTE won't be such an issue, I can't get full LTE bandwidth where I live and work anyway so I'll expect similar bandwidth from HSPA
Easton Thomas
Because google.

>tfw bought phone from China >might to pay duties >expect $350 cad bux total after taxes and duties >specs/benchmarks blow everything out of the water at this price range, also compete with phones at $700-1000 cad bux
Shits unreal
Henry Ward
You should've checked before ordering. There are links in the OP.
Jacob King
Because $650
Aaron Davis
I did, but I'm grandfathered into my current carrier and can't get the same or better plan literally anywhere else.
Grayson Butler
Too expensive.
Joshua Young
No headphone jack Not as water/dust resistant as others No expandable storage Not guaranteed long update support, see pixel 1 Worse battery No wireless charging
Could go on, though it should be fairly clear that Google is lazy with their flagship compared to others. Stay a pixel 2 against Galaxy so or lg v30 and it falls apart.
Never had a flagship before, the only advantage today is the camera right? I am tempted to get the S9 since I have a 140€ gift card from amazon. I could get it for 434€ should I?
Aaron Sullivan
Yes, that's a steal
Chase Ortiz
>$$$$$$$$ >no auxiliary jack >no expandable memory >software has limited customization for AOS device (can't even reverse nav buttons) imo they're the main negatives. if they don't bother you then there's nothing to stop you. might be worth noting that a new one is scheduled to be announced in August which will either let the Pixel 2's price drop or give you a newer device to move onto.
Parker Carter
I thought I'd ask here for better feedback. For those that use Android phones with skins, like Samsung, HTC, Huawei, etc... Have you noticed this? >"Ok Google, Turn On battery saver" >The phone enters into a power saver mode that's more proficient than the power saver supplied by the skin of the manufacture.
>"battery saver" >still continues wasting battery on running an always-on wiretap connected to Google servers and the NSA
Benjamin Sanders
poorfag saving up for s9 here wont be able to afford one until the end of august, I wonder how much it'll cost by then
Connor Gutierrez
If you need to "save" for a gimmicky overpriced flagship, you have every reason to go chink.
Lucas Scott
Looking to get a new phone >Australia >Don't care about price as long as it's not overly expensive >Either large storage or expandable memory >good battery life
Carter Gonzalez
if chink phones looked that good i'd get one could always get an s8 but why not go for a bit of future proofing you know?
Josiah Cook
>if chink phones looked that good i'd get one Mi Mix 2/s looks pretty fucking good.
Jack Flores
not with that massive chin lad
Brayden Powell
You prefer notches?
Logan Clark
Is the Xiaomi Mi A1 any good? Decent specs and long term support with clean android for just $200.
Anyone got problems with their N7+ after the 8.1 update? Occasionally it stops registering touches and I have to lock and unlock it for it to work again.
Easton Jackson
I prefer symmetry obviously the s9 might fragile and the edge meme is silly but it looks incredible
Daniel Thomas
It's a curved abomination. Chin > curved shit > NOTCH'd.
Logan Hill
Go for redmi note 5 or xiami 6x (probably MI A2).
Isaiah Bailey
You can get a better price than 200, and it's great for the price, nothing comes close
Brayden Powell
yeah ok big boy enjoy the chin on your 'bezel less' phone that wont be supported in a year
Gabriel Barnes
I have 600 euro to spend on a smartphone and I can't decide between S9 and OP6. Or should I wait for new xiaomi phones? help me pls
Parker James
>enjoy the chin on your 'bezel less' phone that wont be supported in a year You've just described S9.
Joseph Fisher
t. guy with a phone that has a massive chin the design is fucked pal, stop shilling your chinkphone
Leo Ramirez
t. Samshit shill Golly do I love some exploding batteries.
Ryan Brooks
no you don't, you love having bad taste and shilling a phone you don't like because you can't return it
Brandon Morris
I just bought a Oneplus 6 earlier today
Tell me how hard I fucked up
Jack Evans
Fuck off shill
Jackson James
Pls give purchasing advice >Country USA >Carrier Verizon >Wanted Features Preferably with space 64-128 included in the phone and supports SD cards Relatively modern and nice looking >Budget $300 is how high i'd like to go but i can be talked up to $100 more if the phone is better than other phones in my budget. >Size As big as Samsung Phones
>Verizon >all those requirements >Verizon Yeah, you're fucked bud
Austin Ortiz
I bought one too. I'm using a Nexus 5 right now. Had a Nexus 6P that Google replaced with a Pixel XL, but I hated it so I gave it to my mom.
Don't listen to the Nokia shills. Most Nokia phones don't have a lot of the lte bands in USA and you're on fucking Verizon, so I doubt you can even use Nokia phones.
The only Nokia that does is the 6 and the new 6.1, Verizon is a fucking joke for BYOD so user's fucked
Jack Gray
Verizon isn't a good choice? I don't necessarily know my phone carrier's well, so if there's another i can choose that will get me a good phone I'll take it
The GSM carriers and the prepaid services that use their networks are what you want i.e. AT&T and T-Mobile The CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon and their prepaid services are the worst because phones have to be made specifically for their networks and they usually blacklist phones between the post and prepaid services unlike the GSM carriers who don't You can use unlocked phones and carrier specific phones on T-Mo, AT&T and the prepaids that use their LTE bands
Jose Richardson
Does the XA2 feel huge coming from X compact? I hope it's not.
Kayden Reyes
Why Sony keep fucking up? XZ3 will go back to the root r-right?
Are there any decent android phones that aren't huge as fuck mongoloids these days? I'm still using a One Plus X but would like to upgrade at some point. I abhor large phones though.
Caleb Phillips
You are right about bootloaders, but all Verizon LTE phones come fully unlocked. You don't even have to pay it off.
Adrian Fisher
Should i get the HTC One M8 in the current year 2018 soon to be 2019? Can't find anything decent and cheap that's 5" or smaller.
I can get a cheap refurb one and it seems to have good LineageOS support, nice design along with carrying a SD801 which i assume is enough for basic phone shit/shitposting/whatsapp. Every review of the M8 is basically "hurr the camera is shit" but i haven't used a phone camera in years so i don't care about that.
Thomas Miller
How much extra storage can I squeeze out of a Verizon Galaxy S4 by removing bloatware, running a custom rom, etc.? Sorage space is my only real gripe with this phone. If I can't get that much extra space, then: >Country Burgerland >Carrier Verizon >Wanted features -As fast as a Galaxy S4 but with a better storage to bloatware ratio -Newer camera API that does manual shutter speeds for video -An OLED or comparable screen would be nice, >Budget Preferably under $300 >Size Around 5"
Just bought a j7 pro then I learned samsung now launched a6 in my country. Saw the price was just a little more expensive than j7 pro, please convince me I didnt fuck up...
Josiah Wood
You fucked up buying samshit
Hunter Reyes
How poor do you have to be to ask about a Galaxy S4?
>That feel when I'm still using one.
Your best bet is to install Resurrection Remix on it. I've found Lineage OS to be too buggy.
Joshua Torres
What phone >swiss >salt >don't care about notch (there or not), decent battery >decent camera, around 6'' >500-700$
Owen Morales
Yeah no, they're carrier locked to Verizon Also LTE bands are different, AT&T has the same coverage as Verizon and the same speeds depending on your area
Gabriel Fisher
What bands? 1/3/7/20? Fuck man take your pick of chinkphone
Jordan Reyes
What's the best way to keep up to date with modding news regarding the Redmi Note 5? Mine is hopefully arriving tomorrow and I just know I'm going to want to get stock android as quickly as possible.
im pretty fucking happy with my unlocked moto g5 plus. 250 follars, unlocked, runs pretty great. for a ton of people here buying samshit or whatever, this one is worth it even with the slow-as-fuck update to Oreo
Alexander Perez
>slow as fuck user, didn't you hear? The New G6 lineup has Oreo!
Noah Martin

I went to the OnePlus 6 popup, but I didn't buy anything.

do you have custom phone case? post a pic I wanna see
ATT locks their bootloader like Verizon. Sprint doesn't, but nocoverage. T-Mobile is also nocoverage.
William Adams
report back to one of these threads with pics of the nylon case, from what i've seen online i might pick one up as well
Aiden Cook

>Micro USB >Hahahahhaha >That shit won't be used anymore for in two or three years I never understood the objection to this, especially given that adapters are available and fast charging is still supported on micro USB ports. No one who posted about the topic here cared to expand on it.
user please help which phone around that price range has usb c :( i'm desperate
Jace Lopez
I mean case, cover anything like that
Nicholas Anderson
Xioami A1 or Mi Max 2 right now I guess A2 will be coming out soon so that
Cooper Johnson
>t. guy with a phone that has a massive chin >the design is fucked pal, stop shilling your chinkphone The only characteristic of a smartphone you care about is design? Congratulations, you've singled out yourself as a target market for Apple and I guess Samsung now. Not to mention that you're implying to know which phone an anonymous poster with a different opinion has.

>Resurrection Remix Just checked the downloads page, can't find anything for a Galaxy S4. I take it that means that I have to compile the soruce code?
Christian Sanchez
USB type C has: -Faster data transfer capabilities of up to 1.5 GBps[Technically...] -Better power output with a maximum output of around 100W -Reversability -Grip lasts longer (After year of use usb type c will require more force to be pulled out of a device and won't slide out) -More types of usage So it's just better overall. And micro usb is dying out.. In 5-6 years you'll have a hard time getting it without ordering from China. Why would you choose the inferior version?
>Why would you choose the inferior version? Because phones which include USB type C generally include gimmicks or lack micro SD card slots, 3.5mm jacks, have locked bootloaders and are mostly overpriced. Is the greater power output even useful for smartphones and QC 3.0?

Thank you! SCH-I545
Just a couple of questions I have: How likely am I to brick my phone doing this? and Is there a way to transfer all my phone's current data to the new OS?
quite frankly yes, all I care about is the design hence my lack of an apple or chink phone
Jaxon Powell
If you want, but Samsung phones like the note 4 and s5 are better to buy used because of their removable batteries, and the screens are also a lot nicer. They'll cost the same too, of not less.
Julian Martin
Yikes, that phone is not very well supported at all by the ROM community.
Anthony Barnes
Is iphone se worth buying in 2018? should I just buy xiaomi mi a1?
been using android sine 2010, is it worth trying ios. iphone se seems compact and cozy, meanwhile mi a1 is like 5.5'' and seems kinda too big for a pocket.
Charles Reed
Is a redmi note 4 worth it despite no usb c?
Brody Harris
Removable battery and 2k amoled screen. It was the last of the great large all-around good phones.
