Does the small Pixel 2 have any notable problems aside from the lack of 3.5mm port? I remember hearing some display quality complaints but can't remember if those were just about the XL.
Hudson Jenkins
How should I feel about one UI? It is a lot easier to use but it feels like an iOS rip off design wise Pic related
That was just the XL, which uses a LG-made OLED panel. The regular Pixel 2 has a Samsung AMOLED display which doesn't have any issues.

It's not fucking bait! I can't use a phone case, I'm serious. Have some respect for the designer of the phone

Link to the thread? If it says Mi 8, it was taken by a Mi 8. Anyway without a reference photo from a DSLR to compare lightning, there isn't much to talk about, that's why I'd like to see the link. This could be an extremely low-light scene that the AI shat all over in an attempt to recreate details that shouldn't be visible, the same way Huawei's processing can ruin photos when left unattended. iOS copy like MIUI, but with even more wasted screen space and retarded grouping
Jace Myers
It's not wasted space if it serves a purpose Goes away once you scroll up as well
Guy borrowed a engineering sample Mix 3, the camera app recognized it as a Mi8. He has photos of the thing though. Anyway it's not a english speaking forum.
the firefox mobile browser has ublock origin support if that is not up to your taste there is also firefox focus but its a little more difficult to get use too ive tried DNS66 and Blockada but they just seem off, maybe rooting is worth it

I am looking for a standard flip phone that runs on the USA ATT network AND can hook up to a Bluetooth qwerty keyboard for writing texts. Would be interested in such a phone on any network really if phone existed but without ATT. Anything like that exists?

100% buying a note 8 today while it's 15% off on ebay
Which seller do I buy from?
This one seems decent for an "Excellent" condition, but it's well over $400
Picking up an iPhone X on Friday, anything I should know before I move from Android to iOS?
Evan Collins
That's for me to know and (you) to ponder.
Benjamin Campbell
Not very good
Why on earth would you submit yourself to torture?
Asher Russell
I'll give you a flip phone rec if you explain
Grayson Lopez
Tired of android desu. My phone still hasn't received Android 9.0 despite it being about a year old. + i wanna give ios a try again after dropping it for the nexus 5
Alright so I bought the Redmi Note 5, it's pretty good so far, loving every bit of it specially the gestures. Now I'm at 19%, is the "charge at 5% to 95%" a meme. Do I drain it and charge fully?
Mason Fisher
And does "ATT" mean GSM unlocked? Because I think Tracfone uses AT&T network, so would any AT&T or GSM unlocked phone work or what?
it removes the buttons in the lower portion for full screen utilization and for me the accidental back and home clicks. the gestures are the alternative to it. you swipe to change app or exit it.
interesting
Josiah Harris
Thank you user. I want to take advantage of the 15% discount if I can't get best buy to price match a Fry's ad but I don't want to buy from a random seller.
Henry Walker
Ive gotten used to the LG version of android, its really nice too bad their phone selection is ass. Way too expensive
Jonathan White
You charge it at 15% and until 99. What the fuck is this 60-80% meme
Jason White
That's a cute body pillow linus.

At least specify the model to know if you can actually root it. Enjoy your double locked down phone (no custom ROM support and a permanently locked bootloader by your carriers). Which phone did you have? Also, Apple updates offer battery throttling or random shutdowns otherwise. Good luck and good luck with this as well: Also: >no micro SD card slot >no 3.5mm audio jack >notch which can't be disabled
Grayson Cooper
>Enjoy your double locked down phone (no custom ROM support and a permanently locked bootloader by your carriers). I have no interest in loading a custom ROM or anything
and I went with a different seller who lists it as ATT GSM unlocked
Michael Cooper
>At least specify the model
OP6. I guess I will root it just to have maximum degrees of freedom.
Ryder Ross
Whatever. No one's ever bragged about not having more software updates though. Here's someone with a brain on Jow Forums.
Nathaniel Jackson
a lot of big retailers sell shit on ebay i've bought from toys r us via ebay before
Henry Flores
Xz2 or S9
S9 >way better camera >better fingerprint scanner >will be able to get it fixed or replaced if i damage it, unlike Sony Xperia stuff
XZ2 >better battery >near stock android
not sure how the displays compare. curved screen on the s9 doesn't bother me but i don't know if it makes it more or less fragile.
Carter Gray
Got a A2 Lite a week ago. Happy with it. Why would you pay more than 180 € for a phone?
Owen Hernandez
good question, I'm soon to join the Xiaomi mustardface and I'm looking forward to my new $147 chinkphone and experimenting with currently have a Moto G5+ that's my daily and I'm gonna check to see if I can get this Taiwan edition to pick up B12 in Murica by grabbing the LTE code from this Moto and inserting it in the RN5 that I'm getting next week Wish me luck!
Nokia 6.1 has Android One, Snapdragon 630 and ok-ish specs otherwise, but damn, that things is a BRICK. Am I just old and didn’t see enough of those 6" phones or is the fault with Nokia's very square and rough design?
Charles Baker
I tried last time, fucking scratch on phone the second fucking day.
Eli Rogers
>want smartphone in android one program >all of them are shit

Henry Diaz
>have up to date redmi note 5 pro >gmail notifications don't vibrate what's wrong? I enabled everything, yet there's no vibration. sms app has the same permissions and vibration works
Landon Diaz
I bought one recently. I like the square edges and mostly flat design a lot and I was specifically looking for that, but the phone is a little bit too wide for that style to fit comfortably in your hand. At least it's pretty thin and has a large non-notched screen for its size.
I was also looking for small phones, but they basically don't exist anymore. If I could still find a new XZ1 compact or iphone SE I probably would've picked one of those two over the 6.1, but at least so far it's a good phone and it was dirt cheap.
Michael Edwards
Is there any way to implement a truly replaceable battery in a phone without sacrificing waterproofing and modern smartphone build materials? I was thinking something along the lines of a small pull tab at the top of the phone that reveals the battery on the other side with a rubber grommet behind the tab for waterproofing or a cover at the top with 2 screws in it with a rubber grommet on the other side.
Jordan Hughes
Samsung had both waterproofing and replaceable batteries on their phones in the past, so it's entirely possible.
Oliver Nelson
If you distrust mirrors of proprietary apks, you can still download the installers directly from the play store without needing to install Google's framework.
It's slow and generally shitty on my regular S9 but this shouldn't be a surprise since it's an early beta?
Julian Russell
why do we need waterproofing if your dumbass drops a phone in a puddle or the toilet or the pool then you deserve it
Jason Garcia
>he fell for the glass back meme Phones should have plastic backs
Brody Phillips
and plastic fronts
Jason Thompson
In my case my pocophone doesn't show notification icons on the notch (stable MIUI 10 already). Is it worth rooting the phone and flashing a MiUI 10 Android Pie to fix it?
Ethan Sanders
I haven't got the update yet but the recent apps implementation is a complete rip off from iOS and I hate it. I am not sure whether they will kill Samsung Themes after One UI. How are the icon packs support is going to be?
Josiah Murphy
Did you factory reset it after updating? It's always better to factory reset after a major incremental update.
Grayson Hernandez
But it was done - the S5.
Lincoln Wilson
I think Samsung used a plastic back, which I'd have no problem with but most flagships nowadays have abandoned plastic and I don't think anybody in the industry would go with plastic aside from Motorola or any other Chinese manufacturer. I'm talking about something like a flagship with mainstream build materials like ceramic, aluminum or even glass and includes a replaceable battery without getting rid of waterproofing. I'm pretty sure replaceable batteries vanished from most smartphones because modern smartphone design wouldn't allow it and that it ultimately benefits the consumer and not the manufacturer which is a no no since it doesn't put the money they'd get from the consumer just buying a new phone in their pocket.
Cameron Hall
Nokia 6.1 (2018) for my gf. I've read about it and I'm pretty confident it's the perfect phone for her. What's a good (cheapish) place where to buy it in Europe? In local stores it's sitting at 185€.
