Henry Thomas
Nokia 8 for $310, yay or nay?
Luis Foster
Mine is built like a battleship, the camera is dogshit as you say. Probably gonna upgrade to a Poco or the Mix 3 depending on its features.
David Fisher
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Android. It's pretty decent, but is there a way to debotnet it, or at least reduce the shittiness of its operating system? I'll still need normie communication apps, but I'd like to find a way to around using the Play Store to get them.

Logan Turner
I just wanted to say thank you to /spg/ for recommending me the motorola g5+, i needed a new phone in a pinch and it was really affordable and gets the job done.
why do people have so much free time to install custom roms on their phones
Liam Rodriguez
Got mine for 340 yesterday, great phone, would recommend
Angel Nguyen
LineageOS + microg
David Flores
motos really are nice phones for their price. the problem is when they charge $400+ for their Z models when they don't provide much more of a premium experience. luckily they price drop fast.
Jacob Hill
It doesn't take that much time. The first time yes, but once you know what to do it can be easily done in 20 minutes or so.
Sebastian White
>We need more better phones with headphone ports and without notches.
I do it once every year or so, takes an hour at worst. Having a faster, familiar interface increases speed and productivity.
Kevin Myers
I was thinking of getting a pocophone as soon as it launches here where I live. I wanted to get it through amazon, do they usually have enough of one product in stock or do you think I risk not getting one if I'm not fast enough?
Jackson Miller
I have $200
Need a device (used or new) that has: >usb-c >sd card >OLED
Isaac Reyes
wait for sony xz3
blows all the phones out of water
Lincoln Robinson
Typical Ali prices have went down after the sale. I'm glad i had coupons to soften the blow.
Parker Rodriguez
What is the best sub-$400 phone camera? I'm thinking about buying the Xiaomi Mi A2, which is very cheap here in Brazil. I own a Moto X4 and don't know if I should upgrade or save until I can buy a better one.
Hunter White
I'll sell you a Moto Z for $200 brand new in box, only opened to check it out.

sorry for stupid question ): is it worth buying a poco f1 phone with 64gb version and buy myself a 128gb sd card for £30-ish, or buy a 128gb phone version on its own?
Owner of Oneplus 5T reporting in. I'm not a very phone-savy person. I need two android phones for my mom and dad. I want it - to last a very long time (4-5 years at least). - Have enough space for future updates - Fast processor so the phone doesn't become too laggy after a couple of years What phone should I get?
>I own a Moto X4 same here for less than a month, i was going to buy an A2 on ML but i changed my mind, i had the A1 and can't stand LCD screens, that's why i've put my X4 on OLX. I'm planing to import a Pixel XL 128gb on aliexpress but i'm certanly Correios will fuck my ass for good, also >Jobless >no gf
LCD is indeed fucking trash. I had an S6, an S7 and then a Moto Z2 Play. The last two were stolen because living in São Paulo is dangerous.
The Pocophone looks great, but I need to be sure. I still my S7's photos.
Cameron Allen
Have you considered the S8/S8+? I had one and i can tell you it has phenomenal cameras, the front cam even has auto-focus, the amount of details and depth of field is insane! Screen is glorious, sound/waterproof/battery all is decent. Bought mine in Paraguai then sold it because fogo no cu
Gavin Moore
then get a Xiaomi Mi 8 if AMOLED is a must
Luis Price
I feel the same way but the iphone 8/Plus has such a nice looking display compared to every other LCD phone I've used. maybe it's just the True Tone setting but it's the most pleasant non OLED phone I've used.
Chase White
Zenfone 5/5Z have color control over their LCDs and vompare favorably against OLEDs
Good brightness and accurate color reproduction is possibly what's doing it. Apple is good with it. But the viewing angles on OLED are very nice, and it hurts my eyes way less at night.

Is there any chance that the Mi Mix 3 will be compatible with CDMA networks in the USA? The Mix 2/2S were so I'm hoping the same goes for the Mix 3 since it's looking like my dream phone.
Isaac Carter
depends on whether or not they sold well in the US, if so then the chances of them continuing support for global bands will happen
>same specs (if not a bit lower) as the redmi note 5 >almost double the price Why does htc does this? They have cool phones and ui but the support is shit and spec/price ratio is even more shittier.
Andrew Wright
I see it as a spiritual successor to RN3, that one stirred similar kind of shit when the first benchmarks leaked. This time the hype is a bit stronger though.
Jason Rivera
Force stopped, cleared cache, uninstalled updates and reinstalled, still greyed out like shows.
Brandon Wood
Does anyone else not like the new stock Android message,phone UI? It has an Easter color palette doesn't match with the rest of the Phones UI
Leo Wright
That SOC and $200 price with all those gearbest sales made the RN3 a true contender
David White
Nothing on Android's stock UI matches anywhere. I hated that shit. It's no wonder every Android phone maker tries to skin it but at the same time it ruins it.
John Moore
Why does Google allow Android OEMs to put fucking shitty skins on the OS that can't be removed? Imagine if Dell, HP, IBM, Compaq, etc had been able to put retarded skins on their Windows machines? Every fucking manufacturer would have had "their" version of Windows. Luckily Microsoft wouldn't have allowed that shit. Why is Google so fucking cucked?
Benjamin Martinez
Android is open source that's why and how
Adam Martin
But there were always skinning programs for Windows like Stardock. Dell could have said "in order to make ours look different from HP, we'll pre-install a Windows skin"
Jack Price
Changing a software experience that reigned supreme and killed Apple in the PC market wasn't smart. Windows was a standard for software. Makng it look different is pointless. Skinning a mobile OS to be more uniform is how OEMs are trying to catch up to Apple in the mobile world; iOS development is very strict and therefore it's coherent throughout.
Jaxon Wood
Got a Nokia 7+ for $500 aud yesterday. Haven't charged it yet battery at 33%
Nicholas Perry
mong
Wyatt Brown
Why?
Brayden Watson
But most Android fans are 100% convinced that vanilla android would be better. For Android phones you have to research both the hardware AND the software skin. It would be so much easier/better is Android phones just had "Android" on them.
Tyler Davis
The text color for each contact was a nice feature but now it's just gray colored.
Oliver Anderson
looking for an oled/amoled tablet for reading shitty doujins and watching animu in bed narrowed it down to some obscure japanese tablet Fujitsu F-04H or Samsung Tab S4 both are 10.5" 16:10 oled screens has samsung come up with any proprietary software to avoid burn in on their phones/tablets yet? like jittering the image around every few minutes or something?
Carter Walker
Only for the always on display, although Samsung panels are quite resilient to burn ins but you'll have to take care you don't leave the screen on and sleep
James Perry
Considering it, how's the camera user?
Chase Murphy
>take care you don't leave the screen on and sleep so set the sleep to 5 minutes max and keep the brightness as low as practical? thats what I did with my old galaxy s2 and it never seemed to suffer burn in anywhere but the notification bar and only discernible with a fully gray screen at night
Lucas Cook
Sample pic I just took. Haven't tried duo yet where you're supposed to be able to use front and back lens at. The same time
Remember when HTC was a popular brand? Me neither.
Brayden Reyes
This. I got the Prime version despite my hatred for ads because of that amazing $169 pricepoint and the fact that it also came with 4GB RAM and 64 GB Storage. One of the best purchases i've ever made. I think i'm holding on to this thing for a damn long time unless the Poco F2 turns out to be waterproof and NFC able, and with great camera, which would make it the GOAT. I wouldn't even mind if the specs remain relatively unchanged, that's all it's missing so far.
It will work, but is missing band 28 which may be an issue in rural areas, should be fine in cities tho It comes with the global ROM flashed so it'll be fine out of the box, and I even saw one review on Ali that said it comes with a n unlocked bootloader, so no need to wait to root or flash custom ROMs if you want to
Joseph Peterson
From what I'm reading it's kind kf impossible to do without getting the code from your provider
Jason King
Anyway miui is kinda shit outside of China
Jose Wright
How do you guys know what frequencies are used in areas of a country. I know some providers in the US have up to 3 or 4 bands but it's a damn secret which ones are most necessary
Dominic Rogers
The OP
Isaac Collins
Use modded Google camera. Photo quality is far more better with that.
Liam Gomez
What the fuck is wrong with that seller? You should try to import it yourself.
Carson Davis
iPhone 8 owner here, 256gb, first flagship quality phone (and iPhone) I've had. I use gboard with it and I like the screen quality although it's low resolution the colors and brightness are reliable. Mostly bought it because I'm using social media apps more and it works smoothly enough to keep in touch with friends/family on various platforms. Apps seem to update frequently just like on Android except it isn't always some "fixes and improvements :-) 80mb" bullshit you often see in the Play store with updates. The camera of course is perfect for online sharing and I've used Walgreens free print offers to make some nice physical prints. Reliable phone with speed that never slows up with my multitasking amount. Battery could be better but I just use a 15W oem google USB C charger so it doesn't take long to fill up, lasts two work days with casual use on breaks and a few hours of browsing and use at home. Speakers are nice and having a home button is easy to turn on the screen, and as fast as using the iPhone X swiping navigation gestures although that will become the norm from 2018 onward. OLED would be nice and a bigger battery could definitely provide a SOT improvement i think with iOS 12 and the A12 chipset coming. But I'll keep this phone for at least 3 years and maybe one battery replacement so for $650 new it was worth it.
The Note9 costs more and turns your face into an animoji
Jacob Adams
Stop shilling. Same goes for the rest of you filth.
Jackson Perez
Are there any downsides to wireless charging such as increased wear and tear on the battery, heat issues, radiation etc. or is it the perfect solution? Can you ruin the charger by placing the wrong items on it (demagnetization)?
I’ve got an iPhone 6s+, looking to upgrade soon. Main features I’m looking for are longevity in terms of updates, a big screen, cost isn’t really a factor. I’d also like a lot more storage, preferably 256gb.
Was thinking of maybe going to Android with a Note 9, but can I expect 3-5 years of updates with it?
I’m not in the USA, so my cell provider supports every phone available. Don’t care about buying outright bs contract.
