Those huawei-esque patterned back looks cheap because they use plastic instead of glass. They're pretty light which add to those cheapish feel. They somehow reminds me of them cheapo lenovo a couple years back.
Seems like they spent all their money on gimmicky stuff like dual fast charge and touchscreen fingerprint sensor and had to cut cost on build quality
is there anything i need to know about the oneplus 6t that would make me not want to buy it? i am looking for a new android smartphone at the moment and the oneplus is currently in the lead. are there good alternatives (android only please)? thank you guys!
Ian Wright
it cost almost 600$
Carter Wood
is there a considerably cheaper phone that is on par with the oneplus 6t? sorry, i have absolutely no clue when it comes to smartphones nowadays. had my s7 edge for four years now and lost it yesterday
Jaxon Howard
Xiaomi mix 3
Colton Perez
No, the bend test is just a non scientific way just to show the durability of a phone. The general flex of a phone is bad since it can dislodge components that can cause a premature failure. When I buy a phone, I want it to last at least two years, and the flex over time cause it to fail
Carson Jackson
Just got a Mi Mix 3 today, love it so far. Upgrading from an LG G6, which was fine.
Got some sexy themes already. Super fast, good camera, amazing screen experience.
Christopher Smith
Which doesn't work in the US
Easton Parker
basically the same price as the oneplus and a retarded slider mechanism which can break any day?
Nicholas Martinez
>a retarded slider mechanism which can break any day?
Better screen, considerably better camera, and no retarded notch. That user is right, there is no reason to buy the 6T with the Mix available globally and the OP7 around the corner.
Tyler Gutierrez
Despite pic related, how bad do you think the cameras will be this time around? The XZ2 failed miserably next to the S9+ if I remember right, and the XZ3 has the same camera so it's the same thing.
Depends on what you do with your phone. They don't scratch from normal usage, at least gorilla glass 4 didn't, gg5 is less scratch resistant.
Elijah Reed
Man I've hold a mix 3 and I still regret buying honor 8x instead of waiting a bit and get the mix 3
Lincoln Wood
thank you for the generosity mr sheckelsworth
Liam Williams
redmi note 7 or Mi 8 lite? Both are around the same price
Eli Ward
>screen moles Why is Samsung so retarded now?
Dylan Cruz
If you could afford to wait, go for note 7 pro. The sensors are made by sony and it shoots true 48MP pics instead of 12MP pics upscalled to 48MP
Eli Morris
> he doesn't realize he doesn't have to use the slider >he doesn't realize the slider means the front camera is physically blocked at all times Silly child.
Jason Johnson
What's the closest thing to a redmeme note 5/7 that actually has bands 12 or 17? Seems to be a Nokia 7.1, but at $350 might as well spring for a Mi 8 or even oneplus 6 for a little more.
Anything better than a Mi A2 Lite for a boomer mom that does nothing but use facebook and instagram?
Charles Robinson
Not really. I thought i was going to go straight for LineageOS on my pocomeme but after sticking with MIUI for a while i don't see any reason to do that.
Ethan James
maybe a Redmi S2, I mean it's not "better" but it's enough and cheaper in some markets
But Android One is better anyway.
Easton Ortiz
Nope. Hell it's better than Touchwizz since it wouldn't slow down your phone after half a year
Owen Howard
I heard it closes apps just for being on the background, like a media player, etc. Well, to be fair anything is better than Touchwiz
Dylan Fisher
Mi Max.
Boomers typically prefer large screen and mi max is plenty big
Adrian Price
just turn off "MIUI optimisation"
Jeremiah Fisher
Good, I'm thinking on getting the Redmi Note 7 Pro or Moto G7 Plus But Moto is fucking expensive for no reason, but it looks like the main camera has OIS.
Christian Gomez
Mi A2 lite or Redmi Note 5? 10 bucks difference between the one and the other I'm going to use it mainly for youtube/netflix, maps, internet and music
Xavier Wright
redmi note 5 pro
Jose Perez
don't get a xiaomi if you want Netflix on HD it lacks that shit DRM required for HD streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video Honor 8X does have that DRM, it's an alternative if you can find it cheap
Mason Martin
>those specs for the new xperia Wew that thing better be $800 at best or Sony is setting their own grave.
Jordan Wilson
Looks like it, i mean for 10 more bucks i get fast charge But a2 lite has android one, i'm not that much into phone stuff but isn't it supposed to be better? It's almost 100 bucks more expensive, can't afford it It's not like there's a big difference with a small screen
honestly if you're not a phone person you won't notice much difference. I'm using MIUI for 2 years now and it's completely fine
Henry Cruz
The specs for the new XZ4 sound great if they end up being true. Still cheaper than the S10/Pixel line will be at launch.
Jace Williams
Bought an LG G7thinQ a week ago, I like it
Ayden Lee
Yep, i'm poor Those extra 100 bucks will be needed to buy new parts for my pc >honestly if you're not a phone person Not really, i don't customize much beyond the wallpaper on cellphones Thanks m8
Connor Morris
Honor 8x didn't justify that 100 bucks extra.
Alsoz if you don't learn how to be wise with your money, you're gonna die penniless
Jackson Morales
He's using so much force to bend it that his arms are trembling. There's no way the phone would be exposed to that kind of force in regular use. The most common way by far for a phone to break is that the glass display shatters. Or when was the last time your phone got bent in half? And the iPhone 6 is a completely different story, that one was so weakly built that even a baby could have bent it.
Ian Miller
>doesn't work in the US yes it does, it's fully compatible with T-Mobile, AT&T and even Verizon.
Aaron Hughes
Redmi note 3 was notorious for this, and was worse than iPhone 6 plus
Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera or Xiaomi Mi A2? I can get the A2 for just $20 more, but I don't know if the lack of microSD and headphone jack it's worth the SD 660.
Julian Cox
RN5, you're also getting a bigger battery, 4000mah vs 3000mah.
it's my first time posting in this general. I'm gonna buy a new cheap samsung phone soon. should i get the samsung j6+ or wait until the m20 comes in the uk?
Is there a modern flagship where you can for example run lineageos and still get stock camera quality, e.g. by installing the stock camera app? (The gcam ports I looked at are done kinda poorly, not fully adapting to the device)
Gabriel Perry
>lack of microSD and headphone jack Jesus, fuck that. What kind of business model is this? Release a phone without essential stuff
Christian Garcia
Either the user controls the program, or the program controls the user.
How does a sd card and headphone jack essential to your life that not having any is detrimental to your own self?
Juan Nguyen
It's not essential to my life, it's essential to the device i'm buying All my smartphones had it, why would i buy a modern device without it?
Jason Collins
you will regret that
Adrian Wright
Is there some form of DE / VM for android that is completely based on gestures. I just bought a phone without any physical navigation buttons and I hate this kind of navigation in general on android devices.
I really liked the way meego on the N9 implemented this: youtube.com/watch?v=f4Ty1GRR4KI I suppose SailfishOS kinda works the same, but it seems almost unusable at this stage and the company does really stupid shit all the time. Would be great to have something like this on android.
True, a bigger battery is nice. It's becoming common bullshit.
Dylan Nelson
Funny how the so-called essential phone doesn't have these Essentials
Julian Evans
How's the LG V30's build quality? I am a bit wary of LG in general.
Connor Bailey
anyway, don't get a cheap Samsung an S7 will be better, but you should look outside of Samsung for a cheap device
Nathaniel Rogers
Get Nacho Notch app off the Play Store, that lets you hide it
Daniel Scott
IIRC OnePlus and Pixel phones let you use the stock camera software even on custom ROMs.
Ryan Jones
You should get something that isn't a Samsung
Lincoln Jenkins
Zenfone Max Pro M1 (SD636, 4/64GB) available for €229 Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (SD636, 3/3GB) available for €179 €50 for +1GB RAM, 32GB of storage and 1000mAh in the battery, worth it? going to slap lineage OS on either choice
Xavier Jackson
i was also thinking about i phone se or Motorola and also i want to avoid chinese brands due to spying fears
