for me it's the Nokia 7 Plus

>Even rounder and uglier than the XZ2
I'm so fucking done.

Round is good ergonomically. I've got the XZ1 and it's not the most comfortable phone to hold, the edges kinda dig into your hand, especially if I'm holding it in landscape. Tried a XZ2 in a store and it was much more comfier in hand.

What does this mean?

Does it mean my phone will get lineage soon? It wasn't there a couple of weeks ago.

Frenchie here, any places to preorder the Poco already? No bully please.

>LG V30 or an S8

>can't unlock the bootloader on either, so forget custom ROMs.
This can't actually be correct can it? LG has available bootloader unlocks for its other devices and the S8 is a few years old

>drop the mSD, AMOLED, and 3.5mm requirements and get an Essential
Huh?

>Best Buy has the Moto Z2 force on sale for $160; you can root it an unlock the sim to use on any carrier.
link? all i'm seeing is the original Moto Z for $170
it is correct, thank VZW for their fuckery, get the Essential PH-1 off Amazon fot a little over $300 and you can unlock the bootloader/root/flash as long as you don't get it from VZW

What the fuck, did they move the fingerprint sensor to the back? Why?

I'm going to buy my first smartphone soon, how do I avoid making a huge mistake? More than anything, I want to understand how a mobile UI differs from a desktop operating system. Is it retarded, am I retarded, what kind of housekeeping do I need to do as soon as I boot it up for the first time? I've already researched acceptable specs, looked at the Jow Forums wiki, compared prices and so on but it doesn't tell me anything about using the device itself. Yes I live under a rock.
