MIUI10 >>> Android Pie

MIUI is so ugly

I thought the same before using it.

It's seriously the best non stock Android version I've used and I'm liking it even more than stock Android myself.

>we will add one TPU case
The phone comes with one in the box though.

10 is the only usable MIUI
But it's leagues above EMUI, LG's trash, and Samsung's trash.
Not that you should ever purposefully buy a device for MIUI like you might pure android, but it's not as bad as it used to be.

I do not care about the case or not, I want to know for certain the phone will arrive (in de next few weeks)

Why do you need custom ROMs when you have stock Android?

Been using Blackberry Key2 for 2 months now and it's been great. I really wish they would have implemented some kind of mouse pointer desu to click on things and put a small nipple on the keyboard or something. Would totality dig that so you never had to even had to reach for the upper part of the screen to click stuff.

It will, trust me chink orders get delayed all the time.

I once had a package delayed for a week because of the dragon boat festival.

I don't like all of the Google bloat they put on the phones. I prefer to get everything at FDroid and at worst, using Yalp to get the apps I need

If it's not a Moto z phone with a bigger battery mod then your phone is a battery-let piece of shit.

Uninstall all the optional apps?

most redpilled android games?

Thinking about getting honour 10. Anything better in this price range?

Isn't there a pointer mode in developer options? You would have to double tap the keyboard after you turn it on to enable it.
There was for the Priv.

better start off at the true default and add features you need than have to remove shit

I really should stop paying DHL

This is the second time I ordered a phone, second time the delivery got delayed.
I paid for DHL because than I can hold somebody accountable if it gets lost, but it gets delayed every fucking time

you do not want shit accountable
trust and believe it's better that it gets lost than you wasting money on shit that's going to go the same exact route otherwise - at least they'll refund you after not being able to locate the package

I'm on at&t lte and looking for a cheap new phone. I wanted to get a xiaomi not 5, but frequency checker says it's not supported.

Any advice? Budget is 200-300 max.

Sdorica. The plot so far has been fantasy Israel doing Israel things.

I'm not sure. I haven't looked through developer options yet actually. I'll look and see if I find anything.

Mi Mix 2S or Mi 8? The Mix 3 doesn't look like it'll be a significant upgrade. I'm in UK. Neither phone has the headphone jack I really want to keep so other suggestions considered. Currently on OG Pixel but fuck the 3 if leaks are anything to go by.

pixel 3 won't have the notch only the xl

for me it's the oneplus 6

Will the Librem5 ever actually happen, or should I just accept being eternally cucked by applel or google?

But what happens when you drop it?

What happens when I drop YOU?

Seems like it will

They got calling and messaging nearly perfected. It might not be great, at launch (like lack of apps). But because of open software, it'll get better over time

My oneplus 3t will break in my pocket.

Is 100 euros too low for selling my moto x pure in great condition? I'm gonna get the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

what is the best phone below $300 if I want a decent camera, good battery life, and for it to last three years. Don't care about android version of software updates

Redmi Note 5, Nokia 6.1 and Moto G6+

any advice for xiaomi redmi note 3 pro with partialy unresponsive screen? the part of the screen next to the power button doesn't detect touch, can't even confirm pin after reboot

Imma pull the plug on the one plus 6
How screwed am I?

that's not even a pie
it's a tart
for employees with $350k starting salaries
they sure seem dumb

Redmi Note 5 pro for 200 or Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 for 250?

I like stock android but also build quality and battery life, wanna keep it for 3 years

Anyone, please

Finally getting a Galaxy S9 before I had a basic T-Mobile android is this a good upgrade? My only experience with the Galaxy is the Galaxy Tab 2 what kind of things will this bad boy let me do?

Mix 2s doesn't have an Oled screen and the Mi8 has a notch. I'd wait for the Mix 3 if it doesn't have a notch and an Oled screen.

Thoughts on the Wileyfox Swift 2?

Depends on whether you believe Taiwan is a part of China or its own country.

100% sure the Mi Mix line will never get a notch.

mediocre at that price? you must be joking. I got mine during prime and been so happy with it. The feels on the body, everything feels comfy and expensive at hand, the notch is alpha as fuck compared to everything notched. Probably the best phone at that discount price. Even got an pie update too.

I would recommend getting it, this phone probably get android q officially first like they did with p. It's their fault for making this phone expensive during release.

>for employees with $350k starting salaries
Does Android Central really pays that much to its employees?

he's talking about google

It's an Android Central picture

At what limit would you consider the phone not worth it anymore and how long are you intending on keeping it?

Popular contenders to the Samsung S7 and the Oneplus 5? I want to compare them to other popular brands' offerings.
They have to be somewhat popular so I can find a heavy duty case for the phone.
I like the Redmi Note 5 (I know it's in a different tier) but I can't find rugged cases for it.

I dont care about country

Which SoC will give me the best sustained performance in a video game between these two?

Attached: 1.png (548x508, 27K)

There aren't any video games to play on fucking phones so it doesn't matter

710 has a better GPU which is the bottleneck for games.

I think the 835 graphics block has twice the ALUs, so I'm not sure this is correct.

It's last year's flagship.

Yeah, scratch that I thought it was on 14 nm like the rest of the last year's chips.

What's the best place to buy Xiaomi phones?

I've been enjoying FF1 on my R4P via PPSSPP tbqhwy.

I haven't had an emulated game stutter on any phone I've owned since like late 2015. That threshold of "enough" was passed a long time ago.

Best youtube app for android? Looking for something to remove ads and allow downloading videos.

So, does this mean Having 6GB RAM is more of an advantage over time than having 4GB RAM and stronger Processing?

Android Pie check. Only reply to this post if you're running Android Pie

I have a moto x pure.
Easily the best phone I have ever had.
- 2k screen
- 3000 mah battery
- Works on all carriers
- Stock android
- Was 400 bux off contract on day 1
-3 gigs ram, 808 cpu
-Sony lens and above average camera (sux in low light though)

After 3 years, it doesnt even seem there is a real successor to it. But the cpu has shown its age, and the battery life isnt what it used to be. The only other phone to look forward to is the moto one power. Moto z sucks, and the moto x4 comes up short. The moto g6 has a weak cpu and a worse camera.

Please helpSnapdragon 835 + 4GB
vs
Snapdragon 710 + 6GB

ay lmoa pixel 2 xl

Lg g6 in terms of looks

Do you use a screen protector on your gorilla glass device?

Attached: file.png (720x1280, 759K)

Anything similar that allows logging in?

Yeah, I've gone through four glass screen protectors on my OPO this far. Damn well worth the price (1€ from Aliexpress).

go for YouTube Vanced

Too bad there aren't any direct comparison videos, but maybe look at separate ones for both phones and compare them that way?

It's too bad the Moto G6+ isn't being sold in the US

>good camera
>OLED/AMOLED screen
>headphone jack
>IR blaster
>NFC

it doesn't exist does it?

Attached: mancryWEBTHUMBNEW.jpg (576x400, 35K)

Samsung is only missing the IR blaster in their phones.

Yeah, thats sucks. But from the specs of the moto one power, the G and X line could be axed soon, if not, merged into the one power umbrella.
Also, I'm not a fan of how narrow those new moto g phones are. Like a damn candybar.

Hi guys, need some help getting a new phone.

I really only care about decent speed and battery life, don't give a fuck about camera or storage.

also budget is around $400 AUD

Australia, 3G/4G with Amaysim (Optus)

RN5

Don't know about the X line but the Moto G series still sells like hotcakes in India and Latin America

If I have rounded corners - is advertising the phone as 18:9 FHD+ a lie?

what's a good phone for shitposting/posting quickly lads?

I've had my OP3 for over a year and a half. There's nothing wrong with it, currently running Lineage OS.

I might be switching to Freedom Mobile (Canada) soon, a friend is offering me his friends and family discount code. If I trade in my OP3 for a 128GB Pixel 2 XL, it'll end up costing a bit more per month, but I'd say it's worth it.

Convince me why I shouldn't get the Pixel 2 XL

>tfw Walmart Mexico sells the Mi Mix 2

Is the iPhone SE the best compact phone?

Why is it so fucking ugly
The XZ premium design was perfect, they only needed to remove the bezels

Attached: xz2premium.jpg (1200x600, 47K)

No, the screen is still displaying the full resolution as a square, digitally, just the corners cut it off.

Don't be a handlet

Why do you care, you burgers can't even buy chinkphones

Mmm

The Sony XZ1 Compact exists
