Fucking this. I got 6T and it's a great phone, but it really is needlessly long. Removing forehead and chin results in bigger screen already, but fuck no, they also had to make a whole phone longer. Why? Screen is in 19.5:9 ratio, so videos don't fill the screen anyway, you get these huge bezels on each sides. >pic related That's how regular Youtube video looks like. It's just wasted space.
Again it's a fantastic phone and I love it, but you could chop an inch off it and lose nothing, while gaining lots in comfort and ergonomics.
What phone should I buy to replace my old Nexus 5? Ideally below 500$ but I don't mind going over a bit if necessary. I only use fdroid, so I want to unlock it with ease and install something like lineage on it right away. Is OnePlus 6t a good choice? Should I pay extra for the 8gb of ram meme? Will probably buy Bluetooth earphones so I don't care about the 3.5mm jack. Also what roms are preferred these days?
Aaron Collins
imo the width is far greater factor when it comes to ergonomics. 70 vs 75 mm is huge difference in width, but 145 vs 155 mm length is barely noticeable when you get used to it
Nicholas Watson
What a weird complaint. The 6T has one of the better gesture navigations in the industry for easy one-handed use. Don't tell me you're not aware of that?

>pajeet + one lmao no thanks

>install something like lineage on it right away Keep in mind OP6T is so new that it doesn't have LineageOS available yet.
Adam Hughes
Is there anything else I can install on it? I don't mind waiting for lineage in either case.
Brody Myers
it's a decent choice, but if you live outside of the states you might be better served buying something like a Pocophone which only has a 3 day waiting period for the bootloader unlock code and already has Lineage support also it's cheaper if in the states, I would just get a Pixel 2XL and either flash Lineage or Copperhead if you're worried about privacy/security
Chase Smith
>looking at phones with headphone jacks >realize i haven't used my headphone jacks in over a year and a half
Pixel 2 with BF deal should be around your budget and that would be a better choice than the OP6T.
Anthony Smith
on youtube you can pin and zoom to fill the screen
Noah Carter
I have big hands and have no problem using it. My point is that you gain nothing by having a long phone. Putting videos in full screen creates a window that is exact same size as Oneplus One screen, the rest is just wasted space. Sure you get a bit more view in menus and browser.. but that's pretty much it. I'd gladly trade that to have a phone that sits in my pocket better I guess it would be useful for split screening apps, but who ever does that anyway
stick to Apple. They really need your donations to keep their business afloat
Austin Hughes
Sorry, I finally understood what you meant. I suppose it's a necessary sacrifice if you want minimal bezels.
Looking to move from a Sony XZ1c, any recs on similar form factor phones? I'm fine with a bit bigger of a phone, but not heug
Ethan Nguyen
So I've been using my Moto X4 for going on two weeks now and I've got to say, I'm overall exceptionally happy with the device. Feels great in the hand, screen's crisp and clear even in direct sunlight as well as great for consuming content on, battery life is remarkably solid compared to my old phone at least and Motorola's few tweaks to Android (most notably the gestures, like giving the phone two sharp sideways shakes to turn the flashlight on) are actually pretty nice and worth keeping around. Overall exactly what I needed in my move to upgrade from an Xperia Z5 while keeping the rough size, form factor, featureset and headphone jack.
Brandon King
Nexus had no unlock codes. It is surprising that phones now require it. Is it like that for OnePlus as well?
I'm currently in Russia. Not sure if I saw pocophone in stores there but I'll search for it.

Anyone know any 16:9 phones that are smaller than the Note 4 but have better specs than the Note 4? Every phone i've seen is 18:9 and the same size as the Note 4, which is already almost as big as my entire hand. I love my Note 4, but it's was already hard to hold the phone comfortably in my hand AND be able to move my thumb to any part of the screen without doing special one handed maneuvers that make it easier to accidentally drop my phone.

What mid-range 400-500€ phone has the best "reception"? I know it depends on a lot of factors but there has to be a phone or a manufacturer that gets their antennas right.
just accept that they are tracking everything you do, and be glad that there's no diverse effect to it. It's mostly to track user behaviour and optimize the experience
Evan Roberts
Meanwhile the US gets $150 off Pixel 3, $200 off Pixel 3 XL. Germany has even better discounts with 200€ off on Pixel 3 and 3 XL, and 250€ off 2 XL (with the discount Pixel 3 will start at 649€ = ~£580). I'm not sure if the German Google store will ship to the UK but there are package forwarding services like mailboxde that will for ~15€.
Daniel Gutierrez
it's a pocket computer pretty much. It can also make calls I've heard
(not sure what "Compatible with ANY GSM carrier and Verizon Wireless" means for ability to install lineageos)

OnePlus I don't believe requires a code, but I'd double check if you don't see Pocophone in stores you should probably check online, specifically Honorbuy or Aliexpress, also check to make sure it picks up your LTE bands, they do make global versions so verify it works with your network
Aiden Miller
Yes

enjoy your 'innovashun' and 'curridge' i.e. >notches >phones so thin and bezels so thin that you can't ever grip the phone properly, making drops more likely >glass sandwich for more fragility >lack of 3.5mm jack - carry dongles instead! >lack of micro sd card slot - use da cloud and stream everything >no SIM card slot - hurr durr le smart sim!!! >high and higher pixel densities which are pointless because we're already at the point where you can't discern any more - even 1080 is the max anyone needs - 1440 is a meme that simply taxes the chip and thus the battery more >smaller and smaller batteries (but we made it more 'efficient', goyim! less is more hehehe) >no more fingerprint sensor - either it's under the screen, or it scans your face instead
>and now...FOLDABLE SCREENS! "i need a foldable screen!" (said no one). Just another solution to a problem no one had in the first place. That'll be three thousand dollars, goyim. You should buy it, don't you want to fund future INNOVASHUN?? You're holding humanity back, you're halting PROGRESS!
Face it, we reached peak smartphone about 3 years ago. Everything since then has been about making phones worse, not better (and more expensive for an ever worse experience)
>got it activated Can someone explain activation to me I literally just pop in my old sim or get a new one for $5. What is this activation deal? Is it signing a contract?
6T has literally the least intrusive notch I have seen on a phone, and I fucking hate notches

I just realized something weird. On the box it lists the model no as LGLS998, which is for Sprint, but on the phone itself, in the Hardware info, it says LG-US998, which comes up for US Cellular. The heck is going on?
Cameron Cooper

That's just the radio frequencies its operable on. Verizon's LTE and all GSM LTE.
Jaxon Anderson
Apple should've made the XR into an iPhone 9 with no home button, iPhone X gestures, smaller bezels, and 5.5"+ 18:9 LCD display. Instead they made a retarded looking larger iPhone X.
Cameron Cook
Is it safe to use aliexpress over something like trading Shenzhen to save mpney on a mi 8?
If you complain to Amazon and explain what's up they fix it for you. They have great customer service. Make sure you ask for the thing you paid for, because they sometime just offer a refund/a discount.
Benjamin Martinez
the old box switcheroo. I did this with fake shoes from DHGate before and get my money back on Amazon then sell the legit ones elsewhere.
Parker Reed
I see the xz1/xz1c recommended a lot. How is the battery life on those phones?
Is there a single non-flip android phone that runs 8.0 and is under 5"?
Dominic Barnes
XZ1 Compact
Jack Jones
Yes. Check the seller reviews (at least 97% positive rating), that the phone is a global version (not global ROM, though I think in the case of the Mi8 this doesn't make a difference) and that they offer DHL/EU shipping so you avoid paying taxes.
Benjamin Torres
Should I contact the seller or Amazon itself?
I don’t think it’s a switcheroo because the IMEI matches the box
Logan Perry
Okay ill keep looking the best global version seller I've found only has 175 sales so I assume I should keep looking
I'll take that red Nexus and attach user's iphone XR as a charm
Joshua Rodriguez
that white iPad is probably the only thing there that's still supported

Any news on what Xiaomi will announce on December 8th in the USA?
