I wish I could travel back in time and tell myself not to fret about being set on the OP7T because my fears were unfounded. The new sensors work great with gcam, pictures are finally top tier and this combined with the 10x zoom camera makes the OnePlus 7T a formidable competitor in the flagship department.
Xperia XZ1. Japanese omnibalance aesthetics, headphone jack and expandable storage, fantastic front firing speakers, servicable camera and solid stock software. You'll get good battery life too despite the small capacity, definitely above 8 hours.

Best development phone for a poorfag.
Henry Howard
His mouth is fucking creepy.
Lucas Miller
>omnibalance aesthetics No thanks, I don't want something that looks like russian geiger counter.
I'm really looking forward for that Mi 9. Unfortunately there won't be a global version with 8gb. Can anyone confirm?
Hudson Foster
You can keep your phone bro, I don't want it

>Imagine not having OIS haha I am excited about mid rangers starting to have OIS like the Moto G7plus I dream of a future where can buy a 150$ chink disposable phone with Mate 30pro pic quality that i dont have to care about dropping or losing
buying cheap phones is really rewarding and lets you appreciate the simple things in life
Help me out here, i need a new phone and i'm trying to decide between Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 pro with 3Gb RAM and 32Gb internal or the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, do you have any thoughts?

Why is Apple still the most popular phone brand?
John Parker
Is Android Q available on other systems (both officially and not), or is it still a Pixel-only kind of deal?
Ryder Brown

Jace Davis
Which mid-range Huawei should I purchase?
Also, should I be concerned about security/privacy when buying from them?
Yes, I have heard of LineageOS. And yes, I would likely install it on a new device.
Eli Jackson
You can't flash anything on newer Huaweis, they don't allow you to unlock the bootloader.
Zachary Stewart

Thinking about switching to iOS. I'll be upgrading my Galaxy S6
iPhone 8 or iPhone X Jow Forums?
Caleb Miller
8 plus
Luke Morris
Well, shit. I didn't know that. It's been years since I've kept properly informed regarding the Android phone market.
Which brands still offer that functionality?
Nathan Stewart
Looking for a small phone. So no plus. Just wondering if the regular 8 is any good
Man, why is it so difficult for old people to adapt to new technology? I got my gran a new phone because she's living by herself and I want to see her face when I call, but she refuses to use the damn phone and always calls me with her 20 year busted Nokia that makes her sound like she's stuck in a pit. I explained everything several times, I know she knows how to do it, but she always makes up excuses.
Thomas Adams
it's ok but why get it over x if you have the money?
Not really sure about the FaceID thing. I hear pretty its not always reliable

Anyone mentioning bootloop in [current year] is shitposting or a shill. Only line that bootlooped is the SD808/810 generation due to the SoC being a house fire starting piece of shit, and every other phones using that SoC in that generation had severe throttling issues and bootlooping, though only the Nexus 6P had as high of a failure rate.
The reason those phones bootlooped is well documented at this point, the 808/810 runs so hot the Cortex A57 cores (one responsible for the heat) just stops functioning. Using a kernel where those cores were disabled and the phone just ran off the slower A53 core, the phone booted up normally, while being slightly cooler. So either LG/Huawei's cooling design wasn't enough to keep the SD810/808 from killing itself, or Qualcomn sold them a bad batch.
Hudson Diaz
as you get older you get more industrial and practical. she just wants to pick up the phone and call. learning new things just takes time, time that old people just dont have the energy to waste.
Ryan Robinson
Looking for a reasonably priced phone with a good camera, maybe like 300-400$? Could install google cam on it too so thats an option to lower the price.
It will come, don't worry. Buy phones when custom ROMs become available, not before.

I needed a phone asap and this was 150 less than a poco. But overall Im happy, good battery, good performance, nice screen and camera. Only missing aosp and root
Aaron Clark
是 and हाँ poorshit
Brody Brooks
No, its a good phone, but too new to have already a somewhat decent rom scene
Jordan Martinez
Best smartphone around $300 in 2019?
Sebastian Davis
The Redmi has a larger screen, headphone jack, SD slot, is cheaper and possibly has better battery life. The screen is also IPS in case you're concerned about AMOLED burn-in. In all other things the SE is better, but if any of the things listed above has a high priority to you, go with the Redmi.
I'm getting the Note 9 now but I can get an S9+ instead for $200 less and use that money to buy an Xbox/monster hunter combo and play with an old friend of mine.
Thoughts guys? Is the Note's features over the S9+ worth $200 and missing out on playing vidya with my bro?
Bentley Russell
used iphone 4
John Myers
Is Resurrection Remix a good rom or should I stick with a (no longer maintained) LineageOS build?
Gabriel Perez
Its not Note 9 is just s9 with a pen
Oliver Ward
It isn't though, Samsung is. It's only a matter of time before Huawei overtakes apple too.
Is the bigger screen, s pen and better battery life worth 200$ to you? If not, go with the s9p
Hunter Sullivan
I upgraded my Pocophone to MiUI10 but now I'm returning it - I reset to factory and wiped data but it still seems to be on MiUI10 (when it came with 9).
Ought I downgrade it, even though I don't know what exact version of MiUI9 it came with? I'd have figured the factory reset would actually reset to factory..
No, things are much different than in the days of classic phones. Factory reset wipes the data and settings, but not the system and your old "factory" system was rewritten by MIUI 10. You could manually download the MIUI version you want and then flash it with Miflash utility, but check beforehand if anti-rollback protection applies to Poco, I don't know exactly how the things work for their newer models. Solid choice, since the stock OS is pretty great.
Carter Thomas
Throw the old phone in the trash, then she'll have no choice but to learn
Jaxson Murphy
>I'm returning it Why?
Jackson Murphy
In this battery test the Mi9 SE actually does better than the RN7: youtu.be/MPu_w0-G54Q

Still Poco
Ethan Lee
>Poco poco is a piece of shit brick and it never was good apart from soc....
shill
Gabriel Martinez
If the store you bought it from accepts returns even if you've opened the box and used the phone, then I doubt it'll matter that it has received firmware updates in the time you've used it.
Carson Nelson
My camera stopped working, along with the LED flash, and I ordered another camera module just today.
Obviously tried flashing another rom to see if it was a software problem.
Do you think the new module may fix this issue?
What frightens me is that the LED is a separate module soldered in the motherboard, and it doesn't work either.
Moto G7 is supposedly the best budget phone on the market right now and it's on sale for $200 at Best Buy at the moment. Specs on their page say it works with Verizon too.
Brayden Sanchez
>My camera stopped working, along with the LED flash, and I ordered another camera module just today.
Must say that my camera stopped working just when my phone fell in a path full of stones, which also broke my screen.
Henry Allen
not that user but it all comes down to size: do you want a cheap phablet packed with specs or a pricier handy phone.
Justin Flores
>Moto G7 is supposedly the best budget phone on the market right now true, too bad about smol battery and OIS only on the G7plus (crazy good camera)
Liam Carter
Third world phoneposter. Got a J2 Prime DS. Barely use it for calling but having LTE as an option is fine.
A friend left me an LG Tribute HD...
Just installed monster hunter stories, galaxy on fire 2 hd and yugioh generations and it still has internal space...
The only problem is that is gsm locked but ive seen youtube videos how you can unlock it yourself. Has like zero dev so forget custom roms....
That j2 prime is on Genesys Ux (android 7 UI) but adb mode dies on that so i cannot int2ext from adb commands...
Should i keep the LG and use a wifi VoIP app ? I just wanna install "heavy" apps and games without internal space bothering
This video is the main reason why I was reluctant to declare it a clear winner in terms of battery. I think something was wrong with the Note 7 here to cause such mediocre performance, maybe software or connectivity issues. Sadly I haven't seen any other direct battery drain comparisons between the two to make a solid conclusion. Could be the 660 isn't efficient at all.
Jason Morgan
faceID is pretty shit on X, compared to XS
Anthony Russell
The specs it has at $300 is just unbeatable. And not just the SoC (though it it pretty much the cheapest phone available with the SD845). You've got 6GB RAM, UFS2.1 storage, a good quality LCD display, big 4000mah battery, headphone jack, expandable storage and FM radio (not even most flagships have that!), durable plastic build, amazing camera with GCam, USB-C with QC4.0 support etc.
Tell me a better phone for $300. You can't because it doesn't exist.
