I just posted this as the last thread died... Here it is again
>I have cricket and they're offering the iPhone se 32gb new as an upgrade for $185 total. Is that worth it from a Moto E2? They also have the iPhone 6 32gb for $225 6s for $325, and 6s plus $425 >Are any of these worth it or should I buy a Nokia 6.1 or a XZ1 compact or z5 compact or a Moto g6... I'll take any recommendations if these all suck. >I have cricket and they're offering the iPhone se 32gb new as an upgrade for $185 total. Is that worth it from a Moto E2?

Did the redmi 6 bezels actually get bigger?
Ayden Evans
what's the verdict on moto g6
Asher Martinez
>iPhone SE is better than 6 6S = SE, but SE is smaller 6S is just a phablet sized 6/SE
>Android Nokia 6.1 is a mid-range device, good software update policy, you can't unlock its bootloader yet because Nokia if you're into custom roms and rooting
XZ1 Compact is a high end device, Sony devices are aesthetic as fuck, good software update policy, good screen, good sound
Z5 Compact is obsolete, also its SoC a shit, don't buy this one
Moto G6 is a low end device, regular software update policy, Moto Display is VERY useful, 18:9 screen is nice I guess
I can recommend you a phone but you want an iPhone or an Android? also do you care about custom OS skins on Android or do you want pure Android (Pixel/Nexus like)?
That being said, if you're on Verizon or Sprint it (or the Moto X4) is pretty much the only decent option in the price range.
Landon Foster
I have never used an iPhone but they seemed like lower than typical prices, I may be wrong about that anyway
. I would definitely want a clean, fast, pure experience. I don't want any bloat at all. Thank you for helping if you do, it's nice of you. I have feroid and only used it to download clover I suppose.

iPhones are good if you have Apple devices like MacBooks, Apple TV, iPad, etc because of apple's ecosystem, everything just works seamlessly across apple products, also if you want to always have the latest software and security updates, iPhones are good as well, that's why big companies give iPhones to their employees.
If you want Android and a pure experience you should buy a Pixel device, if Pixel 2 phones are too expensive for you, try to look for a Pixel Gen 1 device, either vanilla or XL, they're the same as Pixel 2 but without a 18:9 screen
if you want to go budget, look for OnePlus, Motorola, Nokia and Android One devices
I'm thinking about buying a Nokia 8 (original) since it still has a headphone jack and I can get the 4/64gb version for 299€ or the 6/128gb version for 399€.
Does anyone here have any experience with it? I'm looking to keep the phone for 5+ years, and the battery doesn't seem too good. I assume it will turn to shit fairly quickly? But on the other there are not many alternatives aside from OnePlus, which is more expensive. + the chinks will are using it for spying.
I wouldn't be in a rush to buy a new phone but with the headphone jack dissappearing from most new phones I'm going to have to bite the bullet at some point.
Benjamin Williams
>If you want Android and a pure experience you should buy a Pixel device Stop giving shitty advice. Wait 3 months and grab a phone published under Android One by someone that's not constantly releasing defective phones and charging $1000 for them. Android One's architecture is such that anyone releasing phones adhering to it must be releasing stock Android and guarantee updates for at least 2 years feature-based and 3 year security just like Google does with its terrible Pixel line.
Zachary Cook
I mentioned Android One devices below if user don't want to spend too much money on a high end phone
Jonathan Ramirez
Also, would the 6gb be better in this case, since I'm planning on keeping it for a long time? I have no idea about RAM usage in modern phones. Is 6gb only for those running a shitload of apps or will 4gb eventually make the phone slow even with normal usage?
Owen Moore
Has anyone using Microsoft Launcher noticed the icons being misaligned? I mean shifted upwards, giving too much space to the titles.
Landon Peterson
anyone heard of this Light Phone 2 yet? just stumbled across it today, seems neat. I was interested in the Punkt phone a while back but didn't end up getting one because it ran on 2g, so it won't be supported anymore. thoughts on this one though? I'm gonna wait until I see more of it as the release gets closer. indiegogo.com/projects/light-phone-2-design#/
Is Aosp extended any good? I'm thinking about installing it on my redmeme since they're no official lineage for it yet. What features will I lose from miui? How can I replace them if the OS doesn't offer a native option? Any apps that will do it? And can I use banking apps with it or Google will block them or some shit?
Charles Bell
Girlfriend is looking for a new midrange phone with a decent camera for the money So far looked at the oppo r11s, moto g8 pro (ugly as sin) and the redmi note 5 pro (has to be ordered though and she wants it asap)
Anything Im missing? Australian running on optus btw
Max of $600 Australian
Ideally a phone avaliable from JBHiFi or similar as opposed to online order
For $100 absolutely. But I would suspect something is wrong with it, at that price.
Why in the fuck would you pay $300 for this? If you really want to kick your smartphone addiction then just buy a Nokia 8110 for a third of the price (even that is a bit of a ripoff but it's vastly superior)
I use an iPhone SE and a Thinkpad W520. Works very well even outside Apple's ecosystem, but god damn I hate iTunes. CPU-raping piece of shit.
Jaxon Reyes
What the fuck is a moto g8 pro?
Landon Torres
G6* my bad
Austin Harris
>redmi note 5 pro (has to be ordered though and she wants it asap) Without a question. youtu.be/As2x4rxLQUo Also keep in mind that camera performance can be drastically improved just by installing a ported Google Pixel camera app of all things. rbt.asia/g/thread/65972535/#65988928
>is xiaomi redmi note 5 is best option to switch from honor 5x?
Christopher Peterson
Just ordered the OnePlus 6 AMA
Grayson Young
Locked bootloader = no rooting or custom ROMs
Adrian Wright
how low is your IQ?
Matthew Gomez
My shitty Huawei is feeling suicidal these days, so I've been thinking to buy my first Xiaomi phone. I'm between these ones. >Note 4 >Redmi 5 Plus >Redmi Note 5 I don't play games on my phone, I just use it for messaging and lurking in Twitter and 4chin so I'm more interested in battery life than power.
Why didn't you wait for the 6t, knowing it will have the all-screen display and no notch?
Mason Morales
Go with Redmi Note 5, it's the latest and greatest
Gabriel Barnes
Never tested Ass I needed to buy a new phone
William Bennett
Is there a way to tell if your current phone is using CMDA or GSM in the settings? Because I really would like to get a Nokia but my carrier Ting might not support it.
>Is Aosp extended any good? Of course. It isn't based on LineageOS, but on AOSP. LineageOS isn't the golden standard. If it is the only ROM for a particular device and all others are perhaps port, it would be the only and the best option.
Dylan Lopez
Ports*
Matthew Peterson
Worldwide, not online*
Owen Brooks
Do almost all 2017/2018 flagship releases have wireless charging and is wireless charging charger-specific, or can I buy and use any old wireless charger for any phone?
Andrew Baker
>I needed to buy a new phone You never mentioned your previous device or any underlying issues with it. So, enjoy your 3300mAh battery in 2018. and the lack of a micro SD card slot. gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3?idPhone=9109#show Famously subpar battery life of the S7 scores here. You clearly thought this through.
expanding on this took a quick survey of the phones on JB and came up with this the R11s plus is too large she cant stand sonys design after seeing it in person I had a boot loop LG G4 so she doesnt want to chance LG anything in the far right panel can *probably* be ignored, unless theres a diamond in the rough there I already have an S7 so if thats the pick then I'll just give her mine pixel 2 is on a good special, however is it too old to be spending $900 on now?
>really want emphasis on the camera (for the price) and reliability/as painless software as possible
Moto G6 with 3gb of ram for $200 or Moto G5 plus 4gb of ram $250
Jayden Morris
or Moto X4 3gb for $280
Adam Peterson
Makes it significantly easier to pwn
Michael Kelly
Why? It's not Android one unless you're on Fi, fuck you Google
Carson Perry
Just received my used Pixel XL from eBay. Paid $140 and damn this thing kicks ass. Way faster than my Motorola G5, much nicer screen, great picture taking, you name it. Why anybody would waste money on anything else is beyond me. Let me repeat. >Google Pixel XL. >$140 burger bucks.
How much control over the lockscreen is there in LineageOS? Can you make it have no text or icons so the background is fully visible?
Joseph Smith
Predictions for Librem 5?
Daniel Ortiz
Am on a moto e 2nd gen with a recently broken screen since I lost my last smartphone and was too broke to replace it with anything but that. Planning to upgrade this year, looking at nokia x6 or xiaomi mi 8 se. x6 >slightly smaller >android one >jack >probably cheaper >(-)locked bootloader mi 8 se >better specs(cam, 710 snapdragon, amoled) >unlocked bootloader >(-)no jack >(-)MIUI >(-)more expensive
Or should I just say fuck it and get a redmi note 5 pro and wait for notchless fullscreen phones.
James Jackson
Don't buy the pixel 2 now you spaz. Grab a Redmi Note 5 Pro or whatever it's called. It's by far the best looking and probably most reliable.
Matthew Mitchell
I don't understand how everyonebis using these Chinese phones with so few bands
Joshua Martinez
Have they announced a global release date for the X6? I know they took a Twitter poll and a shit ton of Rajeets took part and it was overwhelmingly positive thanks to the street shitters, but I haven't heard anything since >spending $500 on a xiaomi >and it's not a Mi Mix Where do you live where it gets LTE?
Jordan Harris
There's a good number of chinkphones that pick up American LTE bands now, shit you can get a SD 835 powered Mi Mix 2 for under $400 and it picks up almost all international LTE bands including the US
Brayden Smith
It's basically only the US where the lack of bands is a problem, they work just fine in the rest of the world
Ryder Gray
does anyone know of a decent app for freezing other apps, as an alternative to titanium backup?
just got a note 3, what should I install on it so it runs reasonably well while having goygle play access?
David Collins
>Have they announced a global release date for the X6? Looks likely, apparently a 5.1 plus too. >and it's not a Mi Mix I'd rather have a smaller phone really. It will probably be cheaper too. >Where do you live where it gets LTE? Belgium, it's got most of the bands of my provider.
Jason Thompson
I recently "upgraded" my Xperia XZ1 Compact to a XZ2 compact but I kind of prefer the XZ1 compact desu. The aspect ratio was good, the form factor was good, and I was able to get a glass screen protector. What's/g/'s thoughts on the XZ2 compact ?
Asher Cruz
Well the camera is the biggest upgrade going from XZ1C to XZ2C, if you don't care about that then I guess you would have been better staying on the XZ1C
Matthew Carter
>Mi 8 SE >cheaper Go look, they're already asking $500 US already
