incredibly based.

TRUE

Based pocophone

What does /spg/ think of the Huawei P30 Lite?
It's on offer here (like $200-230) and it seems pretty good

Get a Redmi Note 7 instead

Get something used sempai. Good deal is hard to come buy but sometimes you can pick off week or month old devices

Get the Note 7, flash Lineage.

Outside of Kimovil, are there any Jow Forums - /spg/ recommended price history/price check websites for phones (Looking for a 4/128 global version)

What's wrong with Kimovil?

Nothing - Just wondering if there were (better) alternatives.

the s8/s9 are so aesthetic, I feel bad that I scuffed mine pretty badly on the back and that the screen has a hairline scratch so i'm going to replace the back, does anyone know where to get new batteries because I may as well replace that while i'm at it

Is the pocophone really as good as it looks or is it a meme?

Design wise it does not look good

>talking with a coworker about phones

what the fuck i thought people this retarded dont exist? how can you support idea of taking away people's freedom and commend fucking apple for what they do?
how do you even reply to this? because i lost all desire to discuss the subject with him. i just feel like there is no point in debating with people who fall for marketing bullshit this easy

Then don't. Resell him everything tech related and rip him off. He's asking for it.

You must kill him. And eat him!

Whos this?

a damp hole

Who made you this angry?

I'm talking about the specs and build quality
Only fags and women care about how good a phone looks

> how do you even reply to this?
> it's a good thing since jack breaks often
It does, but when it's alive, you still have the choice of using BT or wired headphones. Cheap phones still only support SBC for BT and thus trash cymbals in music.
> water might get inside
it might, it might not. I remember getting under rainfalls twice, not rains, but those events when cars float, navigating through streets - was soaked to the bone, got a cold once and phones were fine. If he's this paranoid, remind him he's still got speaker and mic holes, or a USB port.
> lack of it makes phones thinner
3.5 mm TRS means phones may not be thinner than 4 mm or so if they have it. There are no communication devices like this, with TRS or without it.
> who needs sd slot when you have 128gb+" internal memory
True, but good luck transferring everything when the phone is trashed.
> but cloud
Which means paying for cloud, since Google doesn't provide more than 20 GB for free. Compare the cost of cloud payments vs microSD and remember that I, for example, carry that 32G SD since 2010. It would cost much more to pay for a cloud service to backup.

Where can I find the pink Redmi Note 7 for a decent price? It's $50 more expensive than the other models on gearbest, and not available at all on amazon. Yurop btw

Looking at the oneplus 5t, is there a significant difference between US and international version? US version is $50 cheaper on amazon.

just switched from apple to motox4, what can I do to rice this thing?

Only incels can say such things.

>also literally says "who needs sd slot when you have 128gb+" internal memory
how is he wrong? Especially when UFS
3.0 becomes mainstream, internal storage will be much faster than SD cards. kys

Just get a pink case bro. You'll be using a case anyway.

> Especially when UFS
> 3.0 becomes mainstream
Yup, and much these thing cost?

Didn't plan on getting a case at all desu.

Who else is looking forward to the OP7T?

what devices support arch arm?

Galaxy Fold has it :^)
Maybe note 10 will have it as well

tourist here, when are the new xiaomi edge models being released?

Just bought mi mix 3
This thing is fucking slippery
I heard it is slippery but this is insane shame i have to mask this beauty with a case but otherwise its unusable

>fell for the xiaomeme
I got C H I N K E D boys. I fucking fell for the stupid Note 7 meme. It's an extremely chinky phone.

what's wrong with it other than sharing the origin of manufacture as the other 99% of phones?

>also literally says "who needs sd slot when you have 128gb+" internal memory
>how is he wrong? Especially when UFS
>3.0 becomes mainstream, internal storage will be much faster than SD cards. kys
This has nothing to do with his point about storage capacity though. And really, 128 GB isn't anything special, especially considering that the OS itself for more powerful devices takes a lot more internal storage space itself. Couple that with app cache and everything you'd store on an SD card but in a single space and you aren't left with that much of the whole 128 GB.

Looking for a replacement for my Redmi Note 4X that is starting to show signs of aging. I’m from Spain with Vodafone. Price wise i have a budged of around 200, can stretch a little bit, and id like it to have 4000 mAh battery and a decent camera. I was thinking about the Redmi Note 7, any recs beside that one?

Nothing, he's just spamming this like that lunatic was about the OnePlus 7. Just don't reply and filter bullshit like this to not see shitposts again:
>chinky

Well get pro if the bands work otherwise regular note is good

>I was thinking about the Redmi Note 7, any recs beside that one?
Not really, but the custom ROMs still aren't there yet. Redmi as Xiaomi's sub-brand fucked everyone outside of India and China in the ass by not releasing the Redmi Note 7 Pro globally. Eh, another one is due in 6 months probably.

No, other than possibly the included charger

>by not releasing the Redmi Note 7 Pro globally
isn't within his budget anyway

>by not releasing the Redmi Note 7 Pro globally
>isn't within his budget anyway
Huh? They're almost the same price though. Either way, it's not a thing outside of India and China, so, it doesn't really matter much.

>Implying that matters at all
Xiaomi phones have been incredibly easy to get outside of China basically since the start.

I know, but network bands are an issue as well as warranty/repair.

Yeah I can't really speak for other countries there. Here they work with all the major bands and aftermarket warranty companies will support it, plus the phone repair shop at my mall is run by a bunch of HK chinks who were more than happy to fix my xiaomi when I turned up

>almost the same price though
The only RN7P I can find is the 6/128 one and it's ~$100 more expensive. Is there a 4/64 version that's cheaper?

>tfw Blackberry

Just got a key2, it's actually surprisingly good. Riced out my launcher to just be a fuckoff huge group of all my emails, sms, etc. Tons of shortcuts a ctrl key and all this scheduling shit fuck.

I'm in love boys

make sure it supports your country's network frequencies.

yo my Xiaomi Note 5 fell and broke into 100 pieces

what Xiaomi should i get now? i was gonna just get another Note 5 but i see theres a Note 7 now and its almost the same price as 5.
Pls Xiaomi brothers help me decide.

I'd spend $15 more and get a LeEco Le 2 and put lineage OS on it desu.

is the xperia XZ2 any good? there's a big sale here almost 50% off

Get the Note 7

how's the battery life, thats my main concern. i see it has some meme 40 megapixel camera that i don't really care about.
also is it possible to get Andoid One on it?

>how's the battery life, thats my main concern
As good as on the Redmi Note 5.
gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3?idPhone=9513#show
>i see it has some meme 40 megapixel camera that i don't really care about.
Yeah, you don't get that on the non-pro variant anyway.
>also is it possible to get Andoid One on it?
Well, custom ROMs are not available just yet, but keep checking XDA.

k, thnaks my Xiaomi brother, ill order a Note 7 now, i just hope Easter won't fuck up the shipping time

convince her you care about her and you can convince her to wear dresses and grow her hair long.

feminists are just emotionally neglected

Any recommendations for someone with ridiculously small hands? For reference my 4s that I currently have is the perfect size for mine.

rumor has it theres gonna be a new Iphone SE this year.

iPhone SE if you can find one

London?

iphone 4s is 115.2mm x 58.6mm
The only modern phone close to those dimensions (within 1cm larger height and width wise) is the iphone SE
Guess it's time to cut your hands off and attach bigger ones. Or just use a larger phone in 1h mode other than when you're watching shit.

Looks like I'll have to go scour for a used iPhone SE then. Thanks for the advice
Nah mate

If you can handle 1cm wider and 2cm taller than what you have, you can go for the Xperia XZ1 Compact for a SD835 (aka 2 year old flagship) experience.

Correction: 1.38cm taller and 0.54cm wider.

that's still not ricing you mongoloid
this is what a riced out homescreen looks like

what's the cheapest phone I can get with USB-C

Why couldn't anyone find any?

Redmi Note 7

because is discontinued and out of production.

Cheapest? $70 or so
Cheapest with performance that won't make you want to kill yourself? $90

>Redmi Note 7
thanks I'll check it out

and what are those models?

SHEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT

How do you filter 'OnePlus' without hiding half the posts?

literal shit. In no universe can 128gb not be enough unless you hoard porn on your phone. Fucking kys, my man.

How is usbc so important to you that it's the only feature you care about? Do you not have micro usb cables?

It's not my job to water a neglected plant.

China Mobile A4S for the cheapest, it will give you cancer though
LeEco Le 2 for performance that won't totally make you want to kill yourself. SD652 and you can run lineageOS on it

When I travel I like to use my phone for emulation, I use a 256gb microSD with a bunch of ps1, ps2, gamecube and wii isos on it along with books, it's incredibly easy to fill that

Do tablet questions belong here? I'm in Europe but I'll only be using it with wireless LAN or just make a hotspot with my phone.
Anyway, I just need a tablet with a 10'' screen or a bit larger to read sheet music, view PDFs and maybe sometimes watch a YouTube video. Decent battery life (4 hours+ when viewing a pdf) preferred.
From what I've seen you can't replace batteries in newer tablets, just like modern phones, so I'm wary of used ones. What does that leave me with? I'm basically looking for the thinkpad equivalent of a tablet. Cheap, sturdy, and just good enough.
