Mi Mix 3
it has no notch!

>mfw the only choices I consider are sony phones and lg phones
>xz had overheating problems
>can't afford anything better
>LG G6 too expensive
>still don't know what the difference between the G5 and G5 SE is
So my choice is basically between the X Performance/Z5/XA2, the LG G4 (the 600xxxxx models are less likely to bootloop and if it does amazon cucks will just send me a new one) and the G5 SE or MAYBE a normal G5. I'm currently still on my old G2 with 1900 mAh of battery left kek and I just want a slightly more powerful phone. Already looked into xiaomi phones but their UI is awful and I don't like stock android

Why MAYBE a G5?
The G5 is better than the G5 SE
Also don't get either. Both have issues with the antennas so you get flaky data connections and gps never works

If you just want best battery wait for mi 8 se or any spandrgaon 710 phone

Get the XA2, it's actually released in the [current year] and still getting updates. It has official LineageOS too.

Any alternatives then?

>$400
>water resistant, durable, lineage support
What do you think

Hey friends. I'm looking for a new phone that is

what is lineageOS?

Wait for Black Friday deals and cop a Sony XA2 or Moto X4

also has Sailfish if you want to ditch Android

New other or Manufacturer Refurb LG V20
Moto Z2 Force
if you don't mind missing B17, or mind waiting the unlock period, Redmi Note 5 M1803E7SH Taiwan Global version

I can't believe people actually unironically pay money for something called a "pocophone".

Thank you for the suggestions

Is the boot loop a serious problem or just a meme for LG phones?

buy the xz2 lol

>Mi 9 has a notch
REEEE

SOME V20s had it, but most anons on here that said they had it didn't run into the issue

Tell me why I shouldn't buy a Redmi Note 5

As much as I badly BADLY want a foldable phone I'll wait for generation 2 to see how generation 1 pans out.

you won't have B12, B13, B17, B30, B66, B71

Specs are great, it's just got chink build quality which can be offset by buying a solid case.

How do they fold it so tightly without a crease?

I like the chink design better, one screen to rule them all

So, anyone able to recommend an application for a non-rooted Android 8.1 device to customize their lockscreen?

in b4 foldable yoga mat screens shipped with yoga pants

How is the oneplus 6t? Best combo of quality/specs at that price point?

Nokia 7 Plus or Pocophone?

pocophone obviously

but everything is chinkshit

What is the smartphone with the best battery?

Are you American? Best Buy has XZ2s “Like New” for only $380 right now. Not to bad if you’re a Sony guy. Course they won’t last long, so might want to jump on it if you want it.

Best phone on the market coming through.

Installed LineageOS and having some issues:
>have the startup lock disabled, but it asks for a pin anyway
biggest one is this:
>phone just randomly locks when i'm using it

Any ideas how to fix these?

How is Lineage better than stock?

Much more customization options, easy root, and I didn't want to use the shady OxygenOS that came stock with my oneplus phone.

should i buy the note 6 pro for $168 usd?

Literally the only thing you need to be able to do one handed with a phone is hold it up to your ear. Stop trying to text your bff Jill while driving you stupid women and handlets.

Did Newpipe break? I cant download videos anymore

If I had unlimited monies I'd buy all the flagships just for the novelty of using new tech eee who else feels like this

Should I buy the 6gb 64gb pocomeme or the armoured edition?

If you were going that cheap might as well get pocophone

At least get 128gb,you never know which app would chew your space

pocofone is over 2x the price

You're a huge faggot

My XZ was a piece of crap
>camera heats up in 10 seconds when recording videos
>screen unresponsive every now and then
>phone lags randomly and crashes
I have embraced chink phones now

>Spending $500+ on the poco
Just get a OnePlus at that point.

Also, why didn't they release pie for the XZ? Every other phone got it

so with all these games on the horizon,
>Blade and Soul 2
>Blade and Soul M
>Blade and Soul S
>Aion 2
>Lineage 2M
>Mabinogi Mobile
>MIA online
what phone should you or I get to play them?

looks beafy, too bad i already bought my stuff off gearbest otherwise i'd look for a case like that for the note 6 pro.

I don't believe people buy "I wish my phone was like a plastic milk crate" cases on purpose.

I mean, that's not why I suggested getting a One Plus instead.
For that same price you get
>much better screen
>better software and developer community
>Looks nicer than the Poco
The Poco's sweet spot is it's 6GB/128GB model, which doesn't have any competition if you don't want to get a refurbished flagship/no deals are going on, IMO.

might as well get a mi8 with the amoled screen.

>getting the note 6 pro
>when you can get the 6GB/128GB Note Pro for the same price
Why?

it was $168 usd. im poor.

Got a spare Z5 Premium and looking for a creative use for it. Any ideas?

>buying a phone based solely on the name
I refuse to believe anyone is this retarded

>plastic body phone, its going to fall to bits
Plastic is way more durable than glass. Also build quality is solid

That's what gcam is for

Are there already torture tests on the slider?

If you don't mind being notched and it's the same price as RN5 maybe?

s8 or iph7? Only reason I'm considering these is because I've been offered a good deal from a friend.

nup 2 late, bought the n6p with a few fancy cases

At least you have nicer selfies than the RN5?

and also i can show off my notch to all the females so they think im rich

Underrated and overbased

For the poco, you need a case like that. Ringke's other cases are ebin, they look much better.

I'm too stupid to rice and unlock and do odd shit to max the cam

Is this real?

>For the poco, you need a case like that
Why? It's nearly impossible to shatter plastic

Fucking this

Talk me out of a $600 Note 9, /spg/. I don't need. I definitely don't need it.

Still need a case desu
you don't want your phone dropping by its corners and fucking up the phone

How the hell are you getting a new note 9 for $600? That's great, buy it asap

dont buy anything except an LG V20.

i bought a used lg v20 off ebay in november of last year and its been my daily driver since around christmas, never had a bootloop issue and it was used/refurb and shit. battery life isnt as good as it should be but HEY i can replace the battery if i want so whatever.

REE WHY NO PIE UDPATE FOR MY XZ

Guise I heard official MIUI is about to bring HAL3 enabled by default so no need to root for install GCam anymore.

Any info about what models or when to expect it?

So what the FUCK is up with the mi mix 3. Frequency checker shows that it has a global variant that actually works with most us carriers. Is this true? Is this the true op6/6t alternative or is the slider just meme shit?

Wouldn't do much as the displays wouldn't be glass but flexible plastic. Plus most likely people won't leave it in tablet position as it wouldn't fit in their back pocket. Clamshell looks sturdy.

It will have a global release, it hasn't been released yet. It will also have a 5g version I think next year.

Fug man n this thing is so cool. Honestly looking forward to how it influences the market now that they're finally breaking ground in us and other places.
