I'm still using my note 4, but I think his time is coming. Camera is fucked and is slowing down. I don't think I'll spend as much in a phone this time.
Kayden Jones
with how cheap good phones are getting, you won't really have to.
Brayden Mitchell
what phones should I keep an eye on in the next months for ~300€?
Kayden Nguyen
Moto G7
Dominic Martin
>new phone supposed to arrive tomorrow hope so, using a half broken backup phone while deciding on the new one was not fun
Robert Lopez
Chinese phones are the way to go. Xiaomi has the best bang for buck
Grayson Garcia
Whats a lineageOS? its a different kind of android or just a fucking rom?
Jordan Gonzalez
Both. It used to be cyanogen.
Brayden Bennett
My uncle needs a sub $100 phone for going to Nicaragua.
Country: United States Carrier: Xfinity Mobile (Verizon) Size: Medium, idc that much about size Budget: High end (iPhone XR/XS/Pixel 3) Camera: I'm not a snapchat thot, don't need it to be that good, just decent Features: I might wanna load a custom rom, not sure yet PS: I'm open to more unusual/niche phones as well, if you have anything cool in mind you never get the chance to recommend.
i asked before in one of these threads and was recommended the Samsung Galaxy and OnePlus, i don't think those are bad recommendations but just looking for a second opinion
If you have any more questions that could help narrow it down ask away
Sebastian Rodriguez
>Xfinity Mobile (Verizon)
what does this mean. verizon is cdma. is xfinity mobile different?
James Kelly
Xfinity Mobile operates off Verizon and their Xfinity hotspots.
Andrew Bennett
Xfinity got in on the MVNO game, so they offer services like Straight Talk and Net 10 do
Asher Gonzalez
LGV30 (T-Mobile) is my daily driver only because of its wide angle lens, HiFi DAC, and superb audio recording. I've yet to find a phone that handles concerts and other loud noises better than this thing. Do any other phones capture bass as good as this?
Got a Pixel 3 and found out that the shielding in it is shit. Put your ear to the to in or out of a call and buzzing, whining, and other electronic chatter. If you own one and pretend to not notice it, run an internet speed test and listen to your device whirl. It's hilarious how google charges $800-$1000 for this shit, and refuses to even acknowledge the problem.
Nathan Wilson
>Restoring apps using TitaniumBackup >losing "pop up notifications" after restoration
Is this possible? ( Note that I do the restore AFTER a complete reset of my phone.)
Any solutions?
Colton Rodriguez
>mfw OP3 rooted still doing all major tasks flawlessly
Is there a better phone in the last few years that was affordable and didn't have shit tier gimmicks?
whats a phone with expandable storage then since the oneplus 6T doesn't. As much as i hate the no headphone jack i'll live.
Anthony Ramirez
I'm still using a LG G5 that I got for $600 from my carrier, is there any reason to upgrade when new flagship phones cost almost $1000?
Ayden Collins
128gb isn't enough for you or is it a matter of principle
Jace Clark

Eli Harris

Matthew Torres
>High end >iPhone XR
Aaron Gutierrez
Come now, expandable memory is all about needing more storage. If 128gb does the job for you, it's not a compromise worth much. The headphone jack at least would come in use more often than the need for extra memory. The 6T really is a great phone performance wise. Just buy it and enjoy it
Thomas Morales
eh fine, reviews have been all great from what i've seen. Before I buy anything coming out in early 2019 that'll be worth it instead?
Jeremiah Peterson
Got the Redmeme Note 6 Pro. You are all on drugs, "no changes" ?? lmao
+ front camera is on a WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL, it crushes the competition and the note 5 as well. + build is more aluminum now instead of plastic + notch extra screen helps everyday + android pie on route for February
- speaker isn't as strong or perhaps it's stereo now? not sure - notification icons still won't show but it's already fixed on the beta
it's only ten bucks more so don't be retarded and get the new model
Charles Nguyen
+AI mode gives real improvement on front too
Aiden Bennett
Oneplus 7. It'll be pricier though.
Levi Ramirez
same here, I get 16 hours with medium power saving mode
Kayden Morris
Turns out you need to manually turn on performance mode in EMUI for the CPU to run at full speed; I've been using my P20 Pro in gimped default mode for months (140k->216k in AnTuTu)
Joseph Edwards
I honestly have no idea where to begin with buying a phone. The only real requirements I can think of are good privacy / security (i.e. minimum data to companies like google) and looks simple / sleek. Good battery life too I suppose.
Hudson Hill
Then buy from a company that enables easy bootloader unlocking, like Xiaomi, OnePlus, Sony or Essential
Nathaniel Lopez
Switching from Xiaomi Redmi 3 only because i broke the screen. Use japanese frequencies. Spending around 30000円(little under 300$) +memory card slot +dual SIM +earphone jack +5" or just a little bit more +4000mAh or more +clean as possible android +no glass bullshit case, I have some dents on back of old phone and I'm glad it was aluminium Should I stay loyal to the Chink? What is good right now? I was very happy with the old phone.
John Smith
Should I go for a Nokia 6.1 or Moto G5S? They're about the same price point here (New Zealand). I can't see anything cheaper that supports all the GSM, 3G, or 4G bands with similar specs, but I'd be open to it as well.
Christopher Richardson
You aren't going to get 4000mah and a 5in screen anymore. Just get a redmi note 6 pro and if you want "clean Android" get a mi a2
Charles Howard
I thought there would be at least some progress in battery capacity after so many years. Do all new phones get that notch over the screen? It's ridiculous that everything has to look like an iPhone
hits most of those checks aside from maybe what the phone is made out of.
Colton Perez
or motorola
t. have moto g4 play and it's the best phone i've had since the nexus 4 aside from the lame camera
Parker Gonzalez
Says it has aluminium body as well, and looks like it's true based on the images on the internet. Anyway It's 2 inches higher, although huge battery is tempting. Does it actually have a worse camera than that on old Redmi 3? Wouldn't want to degrade in this department
Noah Morales
a2 lite
Evan Jones
Mi Mix 2 / 2S
12 bands of 14
Ryan Peterson
The camera is kinda shitty, maybe you should go for a Redmi 5A
Ryan Baker
What if I drop the battery size requirement? Are newer phones better at managing battery usage? Does it allow better phones into consideration?
Samuel Diaz
there's literally no way it would.
Joseph Morris
slightly better but not by a huge margin. generally phones still have around 3000mah and most get on average 6 hours screen on time depending on what it's doing. if you absolutely NEED a bigger battery there aren't many on the market that hit that criteria, and that hits almost all your marks.
other than that, you'll just have to charge your phone at the end of the day like the rest of us
Austin Russell
>Japanese >buying Chinese phones over Sony why not wait for the XZ4C you turbonigger? It's gonna be a great phone.
Logan Richardson
>memory card slot forget it >3.5mm jack you can get it >4000mah lol >clean android Xperia UI is really good >no glass case lol to sum up, wait for the XZ4C or neck yourself.
Christopher Brown
there's literally already a phone listed in this very thread that meets all of those criteria.
Logan Hall
Chinkshit doesn't count lol
Aaron Adams
show me a phone not made in an asian country
Tyler Martin
Every single time, when I say 'chinkshit doesn't count', one of you faggots comes in saying that everything's made in China. I don't mind that, I just don't care about Chinese brands.
Liam Adams
my note 9 is made in Vietnam
Ryan Sanchez
the only different between a chinese brand and a non chinese brand is what market they play in. the phones are all made in the same plants as one another half the time. you do know that right
Dominic Morgan
Get the XZ4, Xperia UI is amazing, better than stock IMO. 4000 Mah isn't necessary anymore as I get 10 hours of screen on time on my Nokia 8 with 3000 Mah consistently.
Just enjoy the XZ4C, you make it sound like they double notched it

>compressed shitpics >bright lighting >beaten t. Lui from Xiaomi, it's obvious that the poco's camera, stock or with gaycam, won't capture as much detail, look as sharp as the Note 9. Can't even zoom with that without things looking like shit. Very weak bait m8
MKBHD blind test of smartphone cameras it was just a social media stunt. If he took low light full res comparison pics or something, barely a few phones would make the cut.

Check Garyexplains, the Exnyos has better single and multicore performance, but the GPU is solidly weaker.
Cameron Rodriguez
i almost always sell mine to someone for about 80% of it's original value.
Aiden Bell
Asus ZenFone 5Z ZS620KL (6GB RAM) 64GB - 390 eur Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact G8441 - 195 eur

>Exnyos has better single and multicore performance Did you even read the Anandtech articles? Exynos performs faster *only* in synthetic benchmarks. In real life tests it is well behind the Snapdragon, even in CPU performance.
>Finally, the biggest story for the Galaxy S9 is its big contrast in terms of SoC hardware. Ever since we first heard about the Exynos 9810 we had very large expectations and we knew there would be some tangible differences between Exynos and Snapdragon variants. The expectations couldn’t be more shattered than the results we got. While the Snapdragon 845 variant of the Galaxy S9 performed largely as advertised and as we had been told to expect by Qualcomm, the Exynos 9810 failed to live up to its hype in real-world scenarios. Effectively, the Exynos 9810 variant and as evidenced by all the data we collected, is the slower variant of the two. The root cause here has been identified as the extremely conservative scheduler and DVFS mechanisms which essentially nullify any advantage the new M3 cores have in synthetic benchmarks.
Kayden Anderson
Can you still get phones that can last 3 or 4+ years? What's a phone that can reliably last for a long time?
Henry Baker
Generally anything not made by Samsung that cucks itself through updates like apples garbage
Sebastian Allen
>Slovenia >A1 >Budget: up to a thousand euro ideally, I could go up to like 1200 but would rather not I want a headphone jack and sd card slot because I listen to music a lot and it would be amazing to have more room for it than my current shitty mp3. Good battery life would be great too.
I've never had a smart phone before and I don't know anything about them and what I can get for my budget so please help me.
