I heard samsung will discontinue note 8 in favor for note 9. does that mean prices will go lower or higher after August? should I go for oneplus 6 or wait for X? fucking smartphones

I have a Moto g4 play and want to know if there are customer ROMs that feature a "dumbification" of the smartphone, optionally with a select few app choices that still run.

Btw. Is this phone still viable?
It works good but some games lag HARD.

What should I buy

Redmi note 5 for 220 Euro

Moto G6S Plus for 250 Euro

Nokia 7 plus For 300 Euro

Honor 10 at 330 Euro

OP6 for 470 Euro

Which is the most worth it at its price point?

>Redmi Note 4X for under 100 euros

How badly will I get chinked when I buy this?
ebay.com/itm/201957921992

Nokia 7 Plus is (relative to it's time and alternatives) the worst phone I have ever owned, and I'm not exaggerating.

Nokia 7 Plus.

>Which is the most worth it at its price point?
redmi note 5 is amazing for the price. though op6 for 470 is pretty good aswell

>Which is the most worth it at its price point?
gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_pro-8893.php
Without a question. It also has better camera performance than Nokia and Moto, while also offering an unlockable bootloader. It wins at battery life against all listed models by a mile.

I'm using a redmi 5 plus (which is basically a note5). Best purchase i've ever made. Coming from a samsung note3. Just remember as always to put in a custom rom since xiaomi phones like to phone home A FUCKING LOT

What phones are better that the redmi note 5 ?

is the s8 worth getitng?

None

Redpill me on the note8

how concerned should i realistically be that my data is being sent to the chinks when i have a p20 pro

Why would anyone consider chink shit when you can afford the Note 8?

You don't live in fucking China so who cares.

if u have the money get it. its nearly perfect. absolute beast of a phone

>most worth it at its price
redmi note 5, means nothing can match it at 220 euro (some are sold even cheaper).

best phone with max 5'5" screen?

nothing.

note 8 is the best android phone, even MKBHD agree.

Yes but, which is the most worth it at it's price point? General consensus seems note 5 because it's cheap but what about OP6 matching flagship specs at half the price?

If I get the note 5, what are the first things I should do? I've never done any bootloader stuff before on android.

what budget? the 220usd redmi note 5 4gb 64gb is always recommend here unless you want any of the following : nfc, amoled, type-c.

>half the price
I don't remember any Android flaship starting at $1059.

You're not going to find a new phone any price range with that size anymore.

>redmi note 5
i am hesistant to buy chink shit since it tends to be awful, build quality and software wise

sad. i have tiny hands

Buying a new phone tomorrow. I haven't downloaded any app on my old phone for the best part of the past two years.

Anything I am missing? Any, recommended apps Jow Forumsents?

Why would I buy this overpriced pos

Eh, I think a 5.7 inch 18:9 is about as large, maybe start from there?

yeah it's a pretty good phone, the battery is kinda crap though, the s8+ is bigger but a bit better in the battery department

lg stylo 4 is so nutty, only $180

>What phones are better that the redmi note 5 ?
Hopefully the Redmi Note 6 will be. Just no notch or curved screen edge gimmicks.
>but what about OP6 matching flagship specs at half the price?
It doesn't have a micro SD card slot, battery life is equal to the famously weak one on the S7 and it stopped being a flagship killer after 3T either way.

Unlocking the bootloader is brain dead easy.

Not true, as JerryRigEverything and others have proven. Good thing Xiaomi devices have some of the best custom ROM support.
youtu.be/wEpsQIz3tPI
youtu.be/hMf-qjmALAM
Now for the iPhone build quality for example, boy do I have a video for you:
youtu.be/AUaJ8pDlxi8

>tend to be awful build quality and software wise
that's what you think.
I have one for weeks and I can asure it's not. Aluminium back and full glass front feels and looks dope. Unlockable and root without voiding warranty and Miui 10 coming.

I've spent the last 3 days with no phone. I'm dying here. I can't wait for my S9+ to arrive today

s8 or one plus 6 ?

Where do I buy a redmi note 5(I live in NL) for the lowest price? Lowest I found was 220 Euro.

cheap phones are getting good

Is it worth getting the pixel 3 or should I just get the the pixel 2?

s8+

Any opinions of Huawei MediaPad M5 8? Or anything else in the same price range?

Somebody yesterday(?||a few days ago) said that financing a pocket compooper would hurt my credit score? wouldn't it improve it just as taking any loan out and paying it on time?

is the g6 the best at it's price point?

yes

That is the current price in whole of Europe.

Anything wrong with the Nokia 8 Sirocco?

It looks good and the features are great. Comes with USB C Headphones.

Has Motorola said anything about the Moto G5 updates?
They're still on Nougat

It has last year's SoC and the colour shifting towards the curved edges of the display (result of not so great P-OLED viewing angles, I suppose) can get a little distracting. I've seen people complain about the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter overheating, but I've not had that issue myself though it does get a bit warm.

I like mine a lot, but because it has an 835 rather than an 845 I think it's a bit expensive for what it is.
Because of that it's tough to recommend, but as far as I know it's the best there is with Android One, and if you can get a discount on it that softens the blow a bit.

Also ask me anything else you want to know about the thing.

What do you need Android 8 for? It is all the same.

Holy fuck people weren't joking when they said the AI in the P20 Pro makes battery drain much slower. When it was new a heavy day of use was enough to take it to 10% after 6 hours, yesterday 6 hours resulted in 57% and today over 6 hours with 68%, I'm damn impressed.

I don't think Android one is worth it. I would rather buy an iPhone or Pixel and have 5 years or something with a lot of custom support. The Android one thing is only 2 years, who really cares?

Go back to the factory Xian Lu

Correct. But a random screenshot of a phone you didn't care to identify surely proves me wrong. And guess what? You have the choice of not buying whatever that particular device might be.

Good thing you're replying to shitposts and bumping in the process.

Literally the worst thing I have ever seen. Whoever buys this phone deserves a life of chronic and painful disease.
