Neither, you stupid Applel sheep get the NOTE 9 actually don't, it's not for the likes of dumb, ignorant, tasteless Apple SHEEP like you. Flip a coin, buy whatever Fruitphone you like.
Levi Adams
Is there a way to get something similar to Moto gestures on other phones, ie. chop to turn on flashlight? I don't want those shitty ways where you keep an app open in the background 24/7. Literally the best thing ever and I'm unironically considering another Moto phone because of this.

Honor 10 Lite for just shy of £150, SIM free. Yay or nay?
Josiah Lopez
iPhone XR +faster performance +better camera +longer battery life
iPhone X +better display +optical zoom
But really you should just go all out and get the XS Max desu
Noah Gomez
On a somewhat related note to this, Apple really ought to rip off Samsung and do an iPhone with a built-in stylus. They've already gotten their userbase to buy into the "pencil" with iPads so it should be an easy enough sell, especially if they market it as an "iPhone Pro."
Zachary Collins
I was thinking, $800 for a XS Max is pretty good desu
I wouldn't have to upgrade for another 4ish years. It sucks tho that I'd only have 64giggers but w/e

You want to try something inferior? For fuck's sake, how rich are you to blow money on something for that reason? Just lol. Avoid iShit. RIP boyo, enjoy your fruit.

Will it work with at&t in the US?
Ethan Wood
From the Indiegogo FAQ: >Can the Cosmo Communicator be used in the USA?
>Yes. The Cosmo is both a CDMA and GSM 4G device and will work on T-Mobile (including new 600 MHz band) , ATT , Sprint and Verizon. The LTE final band list is not finalised and we will publish as soon as we have it.
Jaxson Barnes
I wish somebody would make a case for my Note 8 that'd turn it into a device similar to this Cosmo. Wouldn't be that hard to do, and it'd be possible to make a flip mechanism that'd let you use it as a normal phone with the keyboard behind it instead of having to do this dual-screen weirdness.

>I don't want an Android I want to try IOS they are both OSes that open your facecuck and whatsapp. stop living the smartphone normalfag meme and just get a cheap Xiaomi.

i've decided its time to get a new phone i have been using the iphone 4s i bought back when it came out but i recently dropped it and the screen broke. i'm looking at the honor 8x and the redmi note6 but am not sure what to. any advice?
To add: Do this only after you have disabled gesture in system apps -> Search adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.quicksearchbox Do these last or you're stuck adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.fileexplorer adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.pinyin

>samsung making some foldable 2 battery 7"/3.5" thing >it has to be plastic for folding I kind of hope the folding part fails but the hardware is good enough we get a note 7 FE type situation where they are refurbished as 7" tablets with a 3.5" extra screen both AMOLED and massive fooking parallel battery that can charge one while discharging the other make the battery replaceable and I can just never buy anything else again
Ryder Adams
I want to buy my grandparents a new smartphone. They mainly use it for text messages, phone calls and reading some articles. I thought about the xiaomi mi a2 lite. Anything better for less then 200$?
im doing a little research, please help me. all you need to do is to remove case (if you have any) and wipe back of the phone with water to remove oils from skin and then smell the phone >what phone do you have? >what does it smell like? (be as descriptive as your vocabulary allows you)

why? do you need the money?
Asher Ramirez
The new Redmi Note 7 is $150 ($200 if you want it like, NOW)
Jason Hernandez
The display of my Redmi Note 5 cracked after a fall, what display sellers are recomended?
I have an s8 with a fucked screen and unreliable charging.
Looking at S9+ or Note9. I'd have to order and wait for the S9+ or the 512gb Note9. I can pick up the 128gb version of the Note9 today.
Are either the S9+ or 512gb Note worth waiting for?
Sebastian Allen
Parts4Repair.com is legit. I've bought parts for my Mi Max 2 and they arrived safely and as advertised.
Christian Evans
The touch is fine, only the screen is cracked, should I really buy only the front glass that they are selling for 4,25€ instead of the complete screen? Would those pajeet stores manage to replace it?
Parker Green
Wait for S10, it's launching 20th Feb.
Benjamin Ramirez
The Redmi Note 5 should be simple enough to take apart that you should be able to replace the screen on your own...
Josiah Adams
Dude it's not worth it. Years of using an iPhone because hand me downs and finally got a S9+. Feels like I just got released from shackles just because I'm able to customize more than just the fucking wallpaper.
Zachary Walker
But on YT I see them putting the phones on pressing machines or something after the replacement.
Alexander Diaz
oneplus 5t, g6, v30, s8 or newer midranger under 300-400 bucks?
>I don't want those shitty ways where you keep an app open in the background 24/7
But that's what moto gestures are, it's just that the app comes preinstalled and is "made" by "Motorola".
Fellow moto owner here btw, when is the G7, my G3's battery is dying?
Carson Davis
galaxy s9 has shit battery life, but xz2 compact is kind of ugly but has no audio jack. Maybe wait after the xz4 is announced. There's still some probability that the xz4 compact is around the corner
Aaron Harris
Thing is that waiting for a product is kind of pointless. The market is constructed in a way that there is no perfect moment to buy. You buy now, you get it cheap but it will be outdated in a month or two. Buy then and it will be really expensive and if you wait for another 2 months the price will drop drastically. Then there is the next big holiday season around the corner and stores will have deals if you wait another 2 months. Suddenly some other company has their own model on the market which might do certain things a little better so just wait for another month until the price drops. Oh, is it christmas again?
I figured I'm not too patient for this kind of stuff.
I'm going for a used phone anyway, aiming for a 300€ xz2c or a 350€ S9. I really like the size of the compact and the chip is great + pretty near to stock android. S9 camera is a bit better, audio quality is a bit better, it got an audio jack and it got a better screen to body ratio. I guess it's worth the extra 50 bucks but I kept looking for the last 3 days and the market doesn't seem ready just yet. Just needed a second opinion.
how much if at all will the price of the note 9 drop when the s10 comes out?
Thomas Morris
>Suddenly some other company has their own model on the market which might do certain things a little better so just wait for another month until the price drops. >Oh, is it christmas again? >I figured I'm not too patient for this kind of stuff. I'm waiting for that flat S10 as it is small, has a jack and isn't curved garbage it can go fuck itself though if they put a pill notch in it
Matthew Collins
>I'm waiting for that flat S10 forgot to add I plan to pay full price if they don't fuck it up and add a notch/pill
Angel Gutierrez
Just get the keyboard cover case
Connor Sanders
anyone want to fuck my face while i record with the camera on my new Pixel 3 XL
Samuel Campbell
I'm looking to replace my S6 because the battery dies too quickly. I loved my old S5 because I could just carry around replacement batteries and never have to worry about battery life, but that isn't an option on the s6. I was looking into phones with replaceable batteries, and it seemed the best two options were the LG v20 and LG G5, but it was announced that LG will stop offering software upgrades for those two.
Is this a big deal? Or is the whole "dude your phone will be slower in 2 years" thing just FUD to convince me to buy some $800 POS
have you even gotten a quote on replacing the battery from a repair shop/samsung service? if you are happy with the software on the s6 replacing it over the battery would be like replacing your beater car over an aged battery that can't provide enough CCA rather than just buying a new battery
if its the software I can understand, its the worst fucking part about android having to pay for software updates in the form of new phones
Michael Turner
Hey guys, how do I upgrade from my HTC One M8 and not be disappointed? Nothing I see out there looks appetizing. No fucking headphone jack? Fuck off. Glass screen? Are you kidding me? I haven't read this thread yet so don't fuck off
Christopher Collins
Also, the battery is alright. I don't have a benchmark to compare it to. I have to charge it at least once a day. The camera is still good, I still get compliments for the quality. I love the front facing speakers. The only thing that happened recently was I dropped it in the water last year and a few months after the charging/headphone port died out on me, so I replaced it and now it seems to be very fine. Headphone port works like new as well. I've been having some slowdown/freeze issues, so I removed features like animation and some other developer features. I don't get the slowdowns as often, and I know what causes them but they still happen at shitty times. I don't know how close this phone is to dying, but it seems to be pretty strong. I've dropped it countless times and it's only been marred by a single dent for one time I didn't have its case on.
Henry Allen
I'm not familiar with chink phones... will the redmi note 7 work on t-mobile? Or do I have to wait for it to come out to see? Seems like people say that xiaomi phones have problems with voLTE.
this is exactly what I'm talking about. if I dont get a new phone now I will wait for the s10 price drop. looks too juicy to pass
Chase Garcia
Pocophone F2 when?
Thomas Allen
Is everyone going to ignore this?
Aaron Kelly
everyone ignores me because i am an inferior beta male
Jack Morris
Should i get pocophone or redmi note 7?
Connor Green
nigga what kind of fucking question is that do you need the power of snappy dragon 845? that should be plenty to pick one
Matthew Rivera
Do you need the extra ram and processing power? Go pocomeme. Otherwise go redmi note 7. Personally if i had to choose i would go for the cheaper one and save the extra money for a midrange nubia x type phone with no bezels in the future.
Cameron Clark
Thanks guys. I can remove the chinese spyware right? Will these work on japanese networks? I think pocophone is compatible with softbank, but not sure about redmi 7
Eli Cruz
Hey , I got the moto meme one, before consulting you guys, should I worry?
Can't you return it? Most of the stores here give 30 days return period.
Lucas Rodriguez
Redmi Note 5 (whyred)
Connor Hall
Redmi Note 5 / Note 6 Pro, though at this point it might be worth to wait for Redmi Note 7 global launch.
Austin Reed
Why are Chinese phone makers so reluctant on releasing their big phones in the west, and are there any brands besides Xiaomi and huawei releasing 7 inches phones in the near future? I kind of wanted to buy a mi max 3 on sale but over here only the lowest end model is available and most imported chink phones don't have the proper bands for my cunt.
Connor Baker
Dunno haven’t tried miui, but i’m pretty sure you at least can get rid of the bloatware with adb/rooting. Checked connectivity on kimovil and both of them seem to have mediocre/ok compatibility with your country, but that is honestly for you to decide.
Nolan Mitchell
I personally wish dual screen (nubia x) becomes the new notch, then 7 inches might be the standard in 2020.
They might not have the budget to advertize the hell out of their things.
Jack Moore
The nokia x5 is underrated imo
Christopher Campbell
I wanted to get the mate 20 X 8gb when I was In China but it lacked one band I need, now I see it's coming westward but only the base model with 6gb of ram, I hate big notches, and notches in general but it's either that one or the mi max 3 so far, I wish someone would make a widely available 7in phone with either a double screen or a retractable camera like the Nex S.
Chase Lopez
I’ve checked out all the 7inchers and you’re basically right, the mi max 3 feels a bit old already and the huawei/honor ones have disgusting notches that kind defeat the purpose of big screen phones in general. I consider double screens the future, forces manufacturers to make that one camera properly without wasting engineering space and money on hiding cameras or the mi mix 3 types. + extra added functionality.
Robert Hill
Well let's just enjoy the fact that we are part of a niche that still needs to be filled, like a girl in her prime.
Luis Taylor
What are people's opinions on the cosmo?
On one hand it looks pretty comfy. I watched some videos on it and it doesn't look that durable, I'd be concerned about the hinge breaking. It's also fucking HUGE. Bigger than an iPhone XS. It looks like it would be difficult to pocket. And the screen on the back looks shit. So the question is does having a keyboard make up for these downsides? I'm not sold. It's sad because it looks cool but I think I'd rather have a regular phone and a UMPC
Is the Redmi Note 7 really as amazing as it sounds? I want to get a new phone but I'm really not in a position to be spending hundreds on one. From what it looks like, the Redmi note 7 is basically a flagship phone (just without OLED screen or a top tier cpu) for a stupidly low price. It's even got expandable memory and a headphone port.
My only real concern is about how good the cpu actually is. Just how much better is it's SD660 going to be than my current Galaxy S4's cpu, and how much worse is it compared to the SD845 in other more expensive flagship killers like the Oneplus 6T? I don't know anything about how mobile CPUs compare to eachother.
Also, how easy would it be to de-bloat the os for someone who has never done rooting stuff before? As much as it's way more than i'd like to spend, I really like how close to stock Oneplus's OxygenOS is, after being stuck with samsung's bloat for so long. Or, what are the chances of being able to flash OxygenOS onto it directly?
>My only real concern is about how good the cpu actually is. >Just how much better is it's SD660 going to be than my current Galaxy S4's cpu night and day, SD660 is equivalent to the SD820 released two years ago >and how much worse is it compared to the SD845 in other more expensive flagship killers like the Oneplus 6T? it's worse, no dancing around it, but it's a $200 brand new phone that performs like a flagship from late '16/early '17, pisses me off they won't include B12/17 coverage and just turn the US market on it's fucking head and force these faggots to compete no phone released in the US has the 660, and the ones on sale with the 636 now are $350-$400
Alexander Sullivan
>it's a $200 brand new phone that performs like a flagship from late '16/early '17 Damn, that does sound pretty good I don't use my phone very heavily, so something like that would likely fit me just fine, and be more than usable for a good few years
Fortunately for me, I live in aus, and the only band it's missing that's used here is B28 (700) Not that I understand a thing about how bands work, or if missing that one will have a noticeable impact on connections
Jaxon Flores
wait a bit, the one you would need will be similar to the Redmi Note 5 I have which is the Taiwan Global version, which has B28 support might take a bit longer for the RN7 Taiwan version to release but it will be worth it in your case, also mind you that price figured is 200USD, not AUD
Adam Morris
Running AEX 8.1 on a zuk z2.. My phone rebooted in my pocket, and is now stuck on the android loading screen. I tried wiping cache from TWRP, didn't do anything. Any ideas?
Jayden Lee
Ah, so there likely will be a version of the RN7 that supports B28 somewhat later, nice and yeah, I do understand it's $150/200USD, but that's still a really great price for what it is, and a lot better than paying over $800AUD for a Oneplus 6T
