South Africa please I need Pocophone f1

Congratulations to everyone who bought a Huawei phone, you had a hand in starting WW3

friendly reminder that Huawei uses encryption that 5i's can't break, that's why they're so butthurt at them

The chinks won't ship it to SA?

This general is garbage. It's just chinks shilling shit after shit.

Will some just make a C U T E 4.8" 18:9 phone already.. Like for real what the fuck its like they don't want to capitalise on the handler market or something.

Since it was hated so much last time, here it is again. The Librem 5 will respect your freedoms this April (more like September). Google & Apple do not respect your right to privacy & choice.

I'm buying that as soon as it comes out Linux in your pocket is mighty convenient. Although a fork of android 7.1.1 or a sailfish 3 would be cool too.

What's a good phone for listening to music, all I care about is battery life and sound quality

>he didn't buy a Pixel

Lg v20. Top tier.

Currently own a Moto Z Play Droid, I don't browse all that much on Jow Forums, so I was looking to upgrade and I M open to suggestions. USA here. My contract is currently with Verizon

No, don't buy Poco trash.

Doesn't work in the Americas.

Was planning on buying a redmi note 5 (~170 euros). But now i think i can go 100 euros more, is there something better at those money?(

>jacked
>notched

Any other Note 9 patrician race here?

Pocophone

>usb adapter
>not just getting a 2 over a minor upgraded 3

Note 9

2 has shit LG burn in OLED

user's phone in the old thread looks okay to me.

>"one-handed mode" is an actual thing now on phones

>Literally 1 anecdotal example
Holy fuck try harder?

I post here so I can shitpost without having to toe the line
on the misc for instance I have to obey the cucks and their cuck mods or I'll get neg trained or banned
fuck that shithole

I think it will work with Sailfish considering Sailfish works with Free phone, but I'd email the Sailfish team to see if they're working with Purism so Sailfish would work on it

I want this phone but I dislike miui and the ugly notches and super curved screen corners
if it didn't have those I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Yeah, it'll be nice not have to hack around android to get to linux utilities. But dual boot would be nice. I would be super surprised if lineage, aosp or maybe even replicant, don't get a release for this device.

I was going to wait for reviews, but then my phone died, & I'm stuck on an old Acer Jade Z which convinced me to put money down. Maybe I'll do a review here when it's out!

>2 has shit LG burn in OLED
That's like saying Samsung phones are still exploding dipshit
That was fixed a long time ago unless you were an early adopter

>fixed
Brainlet Guglshill

Waiting for the Poco 2 with SD 855 and no notch

prove me wrong then, I'll wait

You brought the claim that Gugl fixed it. It's up to you to prove double brainlet.

LG is chronically underrated

>it's only superficially anonymous
>intelligence services log every post and link it to the individual, in big personal profiles

You're honest. I like that. I agree that staying anonymous in our world is impossible & maybe not even desirable in some cases. However the fatalism & apathy that most express when faced with large scale data mining & tracking is the real problem. I'd like to think this is a tiny step in the right direction. Maybe in the future when open hardware is more mature & less crap/expensive it'll be an option for everyone.

>what are custom ROMs

Wanted to use an old phone i have laying around as an mp3 player. This shit showed on the screen. How do i fix it?

Anything they make is trash starting with G3.

>Phone released in October 2017
>There are still people publishing articles about how to fix it and users stating about burn ins
>The only fix Google did was not even replacing the LG Oled for a Samsung Amoled, but some software tweaks like lowering brightness and hiding navigation bar so it doesn't create the burn in lol
That's not fixing anything. The fact that they went for a Samsung panel for the 3XL should already be a red flag for the 2XL

>friendly reminder that Huawei uses encryption that 5i's can't break, that's why they're so butthurt at them
What?

>no notch
>he expects chinkshit to come without notches or holes
LOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yeah, everyone is shilling on Jow Forums rather than on YouTube.

Top tier gamble.

sauce?

You literally got chinked

He's bullshitting, just like the American intelligence agencies about Huawei.

Have you ever been to China? It's a surveillance dystopia.

>Librem 5
>not based on Android
>reinventing the wheel instead of creating an actual viable fork
fail.

Nothing to do with this:

What custom roms does everyone use? I can't decide between AEX and RR.

China does not allow unbreakable encryption. And anything China can break so can the USA

lol it's over
time to buy the XZ4 regardless of the crap camera that it'll come with, since the pixel 3 xl has a big ugly notch

Cool.

Buy a dedicated HiFi player.

>what is unsafe unaudited pajeet compiled frankenstein binary you get from an adware ridden download link posted on a forum filled with teenagers
yeah I'll pass on intalling that on a device with several cameras, microphone, and all my communications thanks.

American huawei shills deserve to be gassed

Are there any really small smartphones you guys could recommend? I've had a note edge for a few years now and I'm getting a bit tired of it

You're full of shit
Enjoy sucking your chink cock weeb

for me is the HTC U12+

>Unlike the Five Eyes countries, Germany's technology watchdog says it cannot find any evidence Huawei is a security risk.
>"For such serious decisions like a ban, you need proof," Arne Schoenbohm, the head of Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), toldSpiegel.
>He said they couldn't find any evidence, even after examining products and its lab in the German city of Bonn.
Really makes you think... Why ever would the US security agencies want to stop US and its allies from doing business with Huawei... It's almost as it was for political reaons instead for fear of geniune security risks.

>unsafe unaudited
>what is open source
If you can't read code, GTFO from Jow Forums

iPhone SE/6S/7/8
Sony XZ1 Compact/XZ2 Compact

Did the mi mix 3 global come out yet or us or whatever?

>What is Nubia X?

>What is Oppo find X?

Enjoy sucking nigger cock from the google diversity headquarters, rajeesh

Can anyone recommend any tempered glass protectors that aren't shit (rainbow swirls, dot matrix) etc?
I'll even go TPU if I have to

Phone?

Pixel 2 XL
don't bully me...

Fucking lol at these names
sounds like some shit from League of Legends

I know a guy who makes custom oleopholic screens lol, they're the best

Literally just came out a few days ago. More sellers should show up soon.
kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi-mix-3-global

Official launch in Europe should happen soon, early January by the latest

Just realized how many yuropoors are in this thread.
Finally figured out why chink phones are shill so hard

Call me when westerners make a phone that isn't price jacked to pay for superbowl ads.

alphacommunity.sony.co.in/photo/marine-drive-9
literally looks Pixel 2 tier LOL
so much for muh DSLR

Please enlighten us

Try this
amazon.com/Protector-amFilm-Tempered-UPDATED-ADHESIVE/dp/B075WW69PS

Or the official google screen protector for $40
store.google.com/us/product/brilliant_tempered_glass?hl=en-US

The ones shitting on the pocophone and shilling for pixel are always burgers

Pikchul phone :) waaa I feel sad :(

I would love nothing more than to buy the pocomeme and rice the shit out of it
unfortunately the stupid notch and curved corners are too much of a deal breaker

Why does the Pixel lineup cause so much asspain in /spg/?

have the 1st one lol, it does it's job I guess but it's shit for the reason I listed above. $ 40 is way too much I'm willing to spend on a screen protector or I'd just get a white dome.
Ah well, guess I'll stick with this then I guess, or say fuck it and go naked

holy shit I nearly had a stroke when I refreshed the catalog a moment ago

I really need your help, should i buy the OnePlus 6 right now or wait till next year for a new phone?

Why would you buy anything but the Note 9?
It just works.

both are good but I use RR

Why have smartphone company jews decided it's okay not to have removable battery? I don't want to void a fucking phone's warranty just to switch batteries.

Water resistance and they want you to pay for repairs

Should I buy a phone now or wait for 855 series of phones>

>pay for repairs
lol oh user, you're so naive
they want you to buy a new device, not repair the one you have

can someone please post a moto x 2013 xt1053 stock image for me to flash

Because it's overpriced like the iPhones and there's one pajeet that keeps shilling it here

Buying a phone now when 855 is around the corner would be the most retarded thing you could do.

>he needs to buy a new battery without voiding his warranty
what battery dies before the warranty, eh?

The Pixel 2 XL costs as much as the OP6T here, it's not a bad price tbhh
Yeah let's just wait
>S10 hole in the display
>Xperia with another shit camera
>OnePlus 7 with another chinked camera
>other trash phones
no camera comes close to the PIXEL 2 XL

the oneplus 7 is going to be 900 dollars with 855

I wish I was rich as balls
I'd buy a phone now and toss it out when the 855 flagships come out
no need to wait or care about the best bang for my buck or anything, such liberty desu

why bother with Qualcomm when they are slower than Apple anyway?

lol at fagple
wouldn't use their phones for free LOL
>slower tahn Aeeepleee!
does not matter one bit in real world applications kys APSHIT

In synthetic benchmarks sure.

Is your city ready for 5G /spg/?
