/spg/ - Smartphone General

Currently have a samsung galaxy 7 edge. It's been a really nice phone but I am noticing how quickly its lost its snappy interface and really lags and heats up through heavy app use. I'm looking at the new s10's coming out but am reeling at the sticker shock from the 5G and s10+ models. Am I being a brand bitch by considering buying one? Any comparable alternatives?

It's dead Jim. Blame the normalfags buying phones every year.

This and only this.

Country?
>good camera (for a med student to take anatomy pictures)
It's good your budget is $300 so you can buy an actual camera for your work.

*prays for xz4c*
Fuck sake it's the only phone i'm interested in and the normie cunts have killed it

It's not for me, it's for my sister. She already has a camera. Don't try to make sense of it, just roll with it.

Any ideas newfriends?

Wait why is there no more cheap chink phones pastebin on the pasta of this general? Literally the only good reason for it exist.

>for a med student to take anatomy pictures
That's an interesting way to describe thot shots.

I like my nokia 7+.
The only cons are the lack of bootload unlock ing and the camera bump.
Android one is kinda barebones when it comes to ricing tho.

Is the note 9 still a good, acceptable phone in the current year or is the S9 superior to it?

Just give me suggestions you fuckers.

You don't have to use Lineage OS exclusively. And it doesn't have signature spoofing support pre-enabled. It's possible to patch this though. Everything you need to know is here:
microg.org/

I asked you which country you're from because of network band support and you haven't answered.

Note 9 came out after as they always do, why would the s9 be superior?

Different specs and the note being a phablet might make it different than the regular S series.

>literally no way to unlock a huawei phone for free
why did i fall for the chink meme

That feel when I want to upgrade my smartphone, but I don't really need to because my Moto G 2nd gen (2014) is still working and fulfilling all my needs.

ooofff
if theyre priced similarly then im choosing between the xz4c and s10e

it's nokia 6.1 worth?

Even if you pay, custom ROMs are nowhere to be found. And if you do pay, someone somewhere has your IMEI.

So I’ve been using Apple since 3GS, but I’m interested in moving away from it as I’m after more...customisation, something I can do more with and have a better battery life.

As someone who knows next to nothing about what’s on the market right now, what’s a good comparable smartphone? I am with Optus in Australia, currently have a 7S. Want something about the same size

How do you only have iphone but not know the model names, there isn't a 7s

Nokia 6.2 will be announced at MWC

>I want my notifications to take up screen real estate!
>I like camera holes!
What is wrong with you people. Small notches are great, objective improvements. I don't know why you all fucking hate them so much.

Galaxy S9 / Note9
LG V30 / V35

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S or Mi8 with GCam

>screen real estate
I like notifications, and they're absolutely negligible. The notch is a very meme way to gain more screen space, which isn't necessary at all since all phones have tons of screen space with 6"+ displays and whatnot
>camera holes
that one will die too, and we will use bezels forever. How else can you have front firing speakers?

he will have to rice it for her
no girl's gonna bother getting gcam, they just want it to werk out of the box.

Xiaomi Note 7 owners pls drop a quick review

i don't trust pajeets on youtube

Internal speakers behind the screen.
Also phone speakers aare not necessary.

all you need to do with those phones is to download and install the GCam APK, since Camera2 api is enabled out of the box. So really not much ricing required to get it set up. Even the stock cameras are decent though, can't imagine that many ~$300 phones do better.

Tickers like in old android were great

Pocophone F1

Well 7 then, I don’t really keep up on it, just know it’s a 7. The question still stands if anyone is willing to throw in their 2c

yes they are you autist, the same way a front camera is.

>Want something about the same size
Pixel 2 or 3, Sony Xperia XZ1/XZ2 Compact (or wait for XZ4 Compact)

Ok lads need new phone.

>EU
>Max 500£
>4K battery
>At least 6/128
>Good display

Thanks user, I’ll look into these

Front facing cameras are typically garbage and also not necessary.
You stink of normalfaggotry.

Beautiful? It looks dated and autistic.

Pocophone, Xiaomi Mix 3, Oneplus 6T

>OP 6T
3700mAh battery but has insane life. I charge mine just 3 times per week, with moderate use

Please please please. I just want a newer version of my OnePlus X. Simple, small and powerful.

>Pray for XZ4 Compact Edition
If only Sony removed its logo from front and replaced it with standard keys.

S8+ or G7 ThinQ?

I'll add it into the next OP if I have a chance to make it.

What's with the Note 8? Still good to buy? It's cheap ("cheap").

Mi mix 3 or Nubia X?

>$500
You poor or something?
You use that shit every day, treat yourself.

Just got a Mi Mix 3 bro. Not a huge battery, but the battery life is really impressive. Coming from a 4500 mah phone too. Camera is lovely and it's silky smooth. I'm shocked by how good everything is so far. Also looks amazing and flashy.

Go chink and enjoy it.

Meme Mix. The overall features and software give it an advantage.

lesson learned last night anons
never buy something from AliExpress while using a vpn
the niggers flagged my payment and now I have to go through an appeals process
these chinks want a picture of my ID, a picture of my debit card, and a copy of a bank statement now
I just wanted a mi mix 2s and now I have to go through all this niggerish shit

Why’d you use a VPN you dumbass?

>mi mix 2s

You know you could buy that shit from Amazon right?? It's like 400 $exes right now.

Im waiting on the Mix 3 to show up on Amazon first before buying it. Aint gonna put up w/ the Chinese shit.

cause my computer is always connected to a vpn
it was $355 on AliExpress
that's the only reason I bought from there

do it . ur 500$ cheaper than mine I have the iPhone Xs just to shit post, porn and music.

If you have Prime, you could make a fuss with CS or hell send an email to Bezos' email and one of his lackies will credit you the difference.

really? they actually price match AliExpress?
never really thought of doing that

S9+ or bust

I'm really hoping for another Xperia compact before Sony finally axes their phones, I have the XZ1C right now and am not in a rush to upgrade since it just got the Pie update but I will need a new phone eventually. Not a fan of the changes made with the XZ2C personally aside from the improved screen resolution.

Sony will never axe their Xperia line.

>new fennec icon
do we like it?

it's their only branch that isnt making a profit
them cutting back on poor sectors is what quadrupled their stock price since kaz became ceo
why wouldnt they kill it? genuinely curious of others opinions, im an xpediot myself i really dont want them to go away

what do you guys think of this company?

>18:9 is objectively superior
My animes are 16:9
>Most good phones allow for 128gb internal storage. I know statistically that you wouldn't have more than this on your SD card. So it doesn't matter if there's no slot since you'll have all the storage you need anyway.
My music storage is much larger than that, and I also plan to store anime on it anyway. I'm already compromising between these, so I need a SD.
>Spend $9 on Google DAC and have better 3.5mm performance than any other phone out there. Or use Bluetooth 5.0 for the same quality given you have decent headphones.
I don't want to carry a DAC, nor I like wireless stuff. I'd probably have to spend a small fortune to get wireless headphones that sound better than my phones, and it's another device to keep track of battery. Exactly the opposite of what I look for.
>Elevating notifications above a full aspect ratio is an objective improvement. In literally no implementation of the notch does it impede on screen real estate. In every scenario the extra screen is elevated above a 16:9 or 18:9 display. This gives you more screen real estate. This is a good thing, and you have no arguments against it.
It looks extremely ugly and I don't plan on having a smartphone with it.

>you think they're important but they're not
Your arguments failed to convince me so, sorry.

I currently have a Galaxy S6 Edge and it's a slow piece of shit. I'm a delivery driver so I need the GPS to work well (correctly points me in the direction I'm facing, isn't a slow piece of shit that lags because I need to go fast) and a bigger screen because the non-plus S6 screen is really small. Good bluetooth as well because I'm going to be using it with my car stereo. I also need it to easily hook up to my computer so I can put my music files (mp3, flac, ogg) on it.

Bootloops. Don't even consider them.

So I skipped bying the Mix 3. My OP 3 is drawing its last breaths. Should I try to make it last till the OP7 releases or give in and get the xiaomeme?
