Should I throw a custom rom on it right away? If so, which one would you recommend?
Eli Ward
Don't choose anything with a locked bootloader and your list becomes much shorter.
Ethan Gonzalez
optimus prime edition cell phone
Oliver Reed
>Should I throw a custom rom on it right away? Well, there aren't any just yet. Keep checking XDA, but don't beta test if you don't have to. In the meantime remove all the pre-installed Xiaomi apps you can.
Julian Price
Why tho
Tyler Ross
I thought the whole purpose of custom ROMs was that everything would remain unlocked. Or did I misinterpret your comment?
Thanks, will do!
Dylan Perez
Because you'll overpay for everything other than Xiaomi's mid range devices and you'll be left with an abandoned phone after two years. Whatever bugs may remain, you'll just be stuck with it. >I thought the whole purpose of custom ROMs was that everything would remain unlocked. Or did I misinterpret your comment? Huh? In order for custom ROMs to be installed your phone needs to have an unlocked or an unlockable bootloader.
Aaron Flores
Does anyone know a review site that has raw photos I can download instead of the processed jpeg?
No idea, some people like it and bootloader is unlocked
Bentley Phillips
gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3?idPhone=9115#show Battery life isn't even close to amazing. Also, say goodbye to custom ROM support, because even GSIs are very buggy. If I were you, I would go for the Mi Mix 2S.
Logan Watson
Useless features. You have loudspeakers for music and internal storage is faster than SDshit.
Samuel Perez
Damn, the P30 comes with a free Huawei Watch GT here in our stores. Shieet
Jacob Anderson
>using loudspeakers in public you're fucking retarded, user. >internal storage is faster than external storage I'm guessing you don't use flash drives or external hdds either?
Brandon Collins
Which game it's the most spec demanding one? I bought a Mi Mix 2s and it's going to be my first non-medium/low end phone, so maybe I can try some games with it. I'm going to struggle with some games? Which ones?
Jacob Jenkins
got mi a2 lite 4gb for thanks to some guy here and so far it is great, the battery lasts for a week with mild usage I plan to root it after my warranty expires because of all the google fuckery
Ryder Kelly
Mi Mix 2s comes with a jack adapter tho, you actually forget that you ar using the adapter after a while, it's not terrible for me at least, and I was on your side before buying a non-jack phone.
Bentley Sanchez
No, get the MI MIX 4 so that you're well prepared for SEX
Connor Gomez
thats better than Mix 2s though >Also, say goodbye to custom ROM support, because even GSIs are very buggy What do you mean?
Asher Russell
Pubg or some shit like that
Cooper Ward
benis my brotha :DD
Nicholas Cooper
>listening to music when you're out >I'm guessing you don't use flash drives or external hdds either? not as my primary storage, no.
Angel Rivera
>Also, say goodbye to custom ROM support, because even GSIs are very buggy >What do you mean? You know Project Treble? It's AOSP, but for all devices to combat fragmentation. Even that is very buggy in the case of G7. So, when LG decides to stop updating your device it's done. Bugs that may have been left in are staying and there's nothing you can do about it.
Joseph Powell
If I don't see any bugs now I sure as hell won't face them down the road.
Nicholas Evans
>buying phones with protruding cameras in 2019 Laffing in your general direction.
Angel Baker
this
I wish I could buy a phone without cameras
Ryan Parker
It's there a point on using LineageOS on a phone like a Mix Mi 2s? Beside "more privacy", it's a better experience than a Miui one? Some anons told that LineageOS it's actually very good, but I haven't installed a customrom since my first Redmi Note 3 pro, and in those times custom ROMs where unstables as fuck.
Aaron Ramirez
Ifaggot wanting to switch to android Is there an app on android which would let me listen to local mp3 files? Apple does not allow this
Michael Cook
Yes Any built in music player
Mason Rogers
WHATS THE BEST BANG FOR BUCK SMARTPHONE?
Evan Rodriguez
A lot of it comes down to preference. LineageOS is based on AOSP AKA "stock Android", MIUI is heavily modified so it looks and acts very different, some people just prefer the stock Android experience. LineageOS also has way less bloat preinstalled,you can even install it without Google apps if you want to. It's fairly easy to remove most of the bloat that exists in MIUI though.
Ryan Collins
>and in those times custom ROMs where unstables as fuck. You weren't looking hard enough, I've used Xiaomi.eu on the RN3P since 2016 and it was perfectly stable, unlike the stock MIUI which had issues with belated or outright missing notifications and messages. I've also tried Lineage for a week back when it released and everything worked as well, only reason I switched back was because it lacked some advanced features I got used to in MIUI.
Daniel Robinson
Redmi (not the Note one) 7
Asher Cruz
What about the Pixel Experience?
Ian Adams
I don't think the SD 845 should struggle with anything, although I didn't try those PC port shooters.
Landon Howard
Redmi Note 7 / 7 Pro or Pocophone
Tyler Morgan
what about it? It's also a stock Android based ROM, as the name implies it's trying to recreate as closely as possible the software experience on Google's Pixel phones, down to the launcher, apps, font etc.
Ryan Flores
only companies won't make these because teenage girl selfie whores are their main demographic. such a phone will also have librem5-tier pricing because of the small audience.
Juan Nelson
NONE OF THEM BECAUSE YOU'LL ALWAYS BE BUTTHURT THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE FEATURE X OR Y
It's not much of an upgrade, I think the processor on the Redmi 6 is slightly slower than the one in the G5 Plus. How much would a Redmi Note 5 / 6 Pro / 7 be?
Jason Collins
Motorola is a chinkphone
Hudson Morgan
>not having warranty buy your chinkshit where you get one baka
No chinkphones available locally? what about Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 / M2?
William Howard
Looking to upgrade from my V20 after about two years of using it. Swapped a few batts, replaced the speaker myself after it commited sudoku, and still running the stock 8.0 since the bootloader is a bitch to unlock and the fucking thing is nearly impossible to root without the risk of bricking it on my model.
Can't say i'm on a limited budget, but i would prefer to avoid brand new flagship prices. Still set on getting the Galaxy Note 9 since it's reasonably priced now but i would like to see what else is there.
Michael Lee
Go for note if its Snapdragon otherwise avoid exyshit
Nathan Ramirez
Xiaomi Mi 9 for best value Galaxy S10 for best all around
Hunter Roberts
Seconded, am very satisfied
Samuel Rivera
It's mostly Amazon/Ebay where I can get them, with no warranty. Another appeal of the G7 is the wide range of bands it has should i decide to jump around on carriers. I'm a burgerlander. That fucking BATTERY is the best part.
>I'm a burgerlander In that case, you're better off with a US phone for the bands. Check out Moto Z2 Play, it's on sale for $199 on Motorola's own site and with the MotoMod the battery capacity is 5220mah.
Sebastian Carter
What wrong the Exynos version?
S10 is still pricey for what it's worth, and i'd rather avoid the rather crappy and ugly looking in-display cam. Should have also mentioned that i'd like to avoid phones with chins and punch through cams.
Tyler Lewis
If you don't like battery life and good performance exynos is for you
Lucas Harris
The screen is 60hz, what makes this phone better for gaming except for the controllers which you can probably buy third party for any phone
Ryder Evans
The LEDs and edgy design, duh.
Kayden Mitchell
no sd card slot, nah ill pass
Hudson Powell
>Galaxy S10 for best all around Not the battery
Henry Wright
>What wrong the Exynos version oh sweet summer child
Angel Perez
Didn't they fix it with updates by now? Or is it just worse in general?
Jace Allen
F1 is at least4 months away, F1 is just getting cheap (you can get it for as low as 250ish USD) and MIUI 10.2.3 is not bad at all.
Grayson Howard
Pubg mobile is alright, too bad squads and duos is infested with poojeets.
Carter Rivera
How do I know if my battery or charger is dying?
Wyatt Reyes
Does it runs well on a Mi Mix 2s?
Liam Ortiz
Best camera for >300$?
Jayden Reyes
Well it seems that the SD is only in the US version, so exynos is the way to go.
Jeremiah James
I haven't updated my ROM, lineage OS 14.1 Nougat for over a year so I took a look at xda forums. Tons of ROMs to be found, for android 7, 8 and 9. What are the advantages of android 8 and 9? I'm looking for a bugfree, stable ROM with good battery efficiency, stability and speed. The version I'm using runs flawlessly, I don't want to take a step back.
Sebastian Hernandez
Does LineageOS have any way to block your phone to protect you from robbery? I mean, something like iPhones does to protect your data of your phone if it's robbed. I believe that Miui phones have something similar in it's OS.
Jackson Evans
Pixel 3
or did you mean
Jaxson Nelson
>SD is only in the US version Nope, China and LATAM also gets the SD version. You can get it as a gray import in Europe, search for SM-G9700 (S10e), SM-G9730 (S10) and SM-G9750 (S10+) on Ebay.
James Sullivan
Why is Samsung cucking us euros with exynos version What's the reasoning behind it
TL;DR: Exynos has worse performance, worse audio quality, and get this, worse image processing: >One surprising revelation of our testing is that there are huge (and dare I say shocking) processing differences between the Snapdragon and Exynos S10+ variants. HDR on the Snapdragon unit is consistently superior, as it's able to achieve much better dynamic range and details in shadows. Furthermore, the Snapdragon unit’s colour rendition is more saturated and akin to the real-world, as opposed to the more washed-out pictures the Exynos variant produces.
Well, i can get the SM-N9600 within a decent price even with the import tax.Should cost about as much as a new Exynos variant. I am going to be a bit of a penny pincher since i don't want to spend another 200~ with taxes for the 512gb variant.
And it supports all the bands here so there shouldn't be an issue.
Lincoln Watson
>even with the import tax. Are you in the EU? If you order from another EU country there's no import taxes.
Easton Morales
Israel, and it's likely going to be an order from the US since no other place to get a SD variant.
