A retarded friend dropped my Moto G (1st) and the screen is fucked (shows a white line). What should I get in the same vein? I'm looking for battery life, nothing too fancy.

Fuck Apple for not making their cheapest new phone the smallest one.
I don't want to pay more to have less.

Is the Note 10 gonna be even bigger? I'm a manlet and can't handle it anymore

Budget and country?

A Moto G5

Is energy aware scheduling legit in redmi note 5 custom kernel? Is eas legit at all?

what? the Blu Vivo XI+ is a P60 device same as the Z2 Pro, the fuck are you looking at?

Jow Forums talked me into an axon 7 and while I love the phone all I use it for is emulators and web browsing the phone itself has terrible signal and very slow browser I'm looking for something in Canada on the virgin network with a good battery life fast browser and play my emus at a good speed I was looking at the redmi note 5 global and was wondering what all my choices are I am willing to spend up to 500 maplebux but I would prefer cheaper unless the phone will last me a long time

So. I went ahead and got one.

So easy even a kid can do it.

Anyone know how/where to buy a Redmi Note 5, Galaxy S7, or equivalent for under 200$ (175€)?

I tried bidding on eBay for weeks to no success.

I’ve had an iPhone 6 forever and want an upgrade that preferably isn’t Apple. Thoughts on the google pixel 3 that’s dropping soonish?

>using a webcam apk written by some pajeet that streams your front door to some place in serbia so that your personal info can be sold on the dark web
so easy

Phones are the kind of thing that will attract snippers

I've been using an Xperia Z3v for like two years now, and I've finally fucked up the charging port and battery enough to warrant a replacement phone. I really enjoyed this phone, but since it's nearly dead, I'm looking to upgrade. I was recommended the Moto G6 by a friend because of it's price, though I've also been looking at the LG G7 ThinQ just because of how nice it seems to be. I'm no expert on smartphones, so I figure I'd ask here on what I should do. Any advice for my situation and the phones I'm looking at?

mi mix 2s or honor play?

This honestly

>he doesn't trust pajeets

Any experiences with the LG V20? I want to get it mainly for the dac, I'd get the dac version of the G6 or the G6 plus, but they're much more expensive and harder to find.

Why do pajeets care so much about volte?
Every time I open custom rom forums there's always pajeet asking for volte

If you can live with last century's micro USB, 16:9 aspect ratio and 2 week wait for OEM unlocking, Lenovo P2.

I had two v10 phones and had they bootlooped twice. V20 has the same defect so avoid jt

how many days do you think that camera mechanism will last? also welcome to the cccp botnet

I just upgraded from Galaxy S5 to S7 edge. Got it for $200 with wireless charging station, magnetic casing and a lifetime warranty Clear Coat screen protactor. Loving it so much. Was in a dilemma of either getting Mi A2 or pocomeme

Wouldn't Meizu M6 Note be a better choice?
Cheaper too?

You're right, it doesn't seem as widespread though

Just because it happens doesn't mean people blog about it online

Redmi note 5 or whatever nokia is in your price range

If it lasts a year with me, I'd be fine with it. I always take pictures. It feels pretty robust though, so we'll see.

>botnet

At least the cameras are blocked off so they wont see me jacking it to shemale loli dragon tentacle porn

at least xi jinping will have the decency to let you know when he's spying on you

Why do all the "premium" smartphones nowadays have such retarded speaker placement? Nobody wants to cup their hand around their bottom firing speaker. Motorola gets this right (sometimes).

If you don't mind the IPS screen and 1000 mAh less battery, go for it.

The meizu also has a better camera and Qualcomm qc3.0. From what I've read in forums the p2 has a proprietary quick charge at 12v2a?

It comes down to what you're willing to sacrifice for either phone desu.

I got the 3gb version of the rn5 for 180 on amazon

Yo Jow Forums
NewPipe isn't giving me the option to play some videos in the background, or the option doesn't work. I can play them in the normal video player but I think it's just youtu(dot)be links.
I'm using the fixed version 0.14.1 by the way. Anyone else getting this problem?

asus zenfone max pro m1

Same, new pipe is pretty much dead for the last few updates

the mix 2s is a better phone overall and everyone will shit on here anything that's related to huawei. though if the honor play is cheaper where you live by a margin that is significant to you, then get that one. if you can wait 1-2 weeks, i could give a feedback on it, since i plan to get the honor.

At least the pop up works in the background.
Just gotta give them time I guess.

> if you can wait 1-2 weeks, i could give a feedback on it, since i plan to get the honor.

Cool thanks

Still waiting on a root or bootloader unlock for the snapdragon note 9 zzzzzzzzzzz...

What's the go to rom these days, lineage or remix?

Have you tried not being a manlet? Or not being poor?

Anyone?

Might be a deal breaker for weeb rhythm game players.

Where did you get it from?

Meizu 15 global.
Gets all lte and 3g bands for virgin canada.

>800ish bucks

I bought a micro USB to HDMI adapter for my Galaxy S4. To watch videos on our HDTV screen. I accidentally bought two of them for 5€ a few months ago. Recently one of them begun having a really terrible connection, I had to continuously adjust delicately. So I used the other one. Almost immediately the second one also had connection issues. Today neither of them are working. I don't know what is going on. It could be the micro USB port on the phone, or the adapter itself. Anyone have any experience with these adapters suddenly deteriorating and becoming unusable?

Pocophone or nokia 7 plus

yep it's legit. it doesn't work right away tho because it's stat based.

Lineage, Resurrection Remix, AEX, Pixel Experience

guarantee it's the S4's port

It charges just fine without any issue.

where did you buy the adaptors from? who made them?

Generic brand off eBay from China. Compatible with S3-S6.

Attached: IMG_20180912_063006.jpg (1280x960, 316K)

have you tested it with anyone else's phone?

I can bet it's your port

No I don't have access to another one. I should add that it does say "HDMI connected", but no instant picture on the tv.

test with another phone first, or you're half assing your diagnosis

I don't have access to another S3-S6.

any phone with a micro-usb port will do, it doesn't need to be a Samsung

Ok I'll try my old Sony Xperia E later.

what's the cheapest way to get a phone that uses an SD845 on Verizon? will go used

probably Mi Mix 2S as long as you're swapping in an already activated SIM

Can you connect the Redmi Note 5 to a regular HDTV? How is it done?

You could use two hands user. It's not against the rules.

I have the xiaomi Mi A2 lite, if anyone wants to know about it. I'm in the United States, I use T-Mobile.

I'm probably going to buy the pixel 3 when it comes out.

Buy Chromecast device. Connect to TV. Install Google home on your phone. Cast to nearby device.

Are there any 5g network compatible phones out yet?
lg v30?

Moto z3

>Moto z3
No headphone jack though.

Neither is 5g a real thing right now

My city is set up for 5g right now. Just need a device.

Download the apk from github. Werks.

Redmi 6A back camera video got fixed ??

Thank you.

How's the coverage on T-Mobile?

>>If requesting purchasing advice, please provide your country and what carrier you will be using it with, along with wanted features, budget and size.

Haven't had a problem in northern California.

>How's the coverage on T-Mobile?
Not bad. I only lose signal when there's a huge storm.

Any LG V30/V30+ owners?
Tell me about this phone pls. Thanks anons.

Don't buy lg

Why? Do you own a v30?

I Owned a g6 the software is worse than old touch wizz they come out with 5-6 variants to rooting your phone is also dependent on the community, I would suggest getting anything but lg

Malaysia. A Filipino lady sold it to me. She used it before until she decided to change her phone out of boredom.

How bad is touch wizz?

I use Firefox instead, it's shit and really laggy and buggy as a browser on the phone, but one thing it does is play youtube videos while minimized or screen locked, even has a play/pause notification activity for it.

My mom needs a new phone, classic shit with physical keyboard and a decently sized screen, but I'm really not "in" phones right now, so I was hoping for your help. You guys have any suggestions?

Thanks for redpilling me on getting a notch phone /spg/. Got a nokia 6.1 plus. Notches are shit but android being able to black it out and still keep notifications up there is pretty neat. It's like really detailed notification leds.

BlackBerry KeyOne or Key2

I was planning to do a custom rom though.

Is there any decent phones for sale on amazon? I have a gift card I need to use and the only thing i really need is a new phone
