damn, they're both working meme jobs with shit pay but they're traveling and cosplaying all the time. You're right, especially since the Note 9 costs a bomb here

The OnePlus 7 Pro will have a DxOMark score of 105/106. Screencap me, bros

OP7P/7T 10x shill here, no it won't, not unless gcam really pulls through. Look at this sample for instance, it's gutter garbage tier.

DxOMark scores are only meant to be wanked off, breh, but wasn't that a Nightscape shot?

Is there any maps app on android other than google’s that’s worth a damn? Having maps that doesn’t spy on you is the only thing that I miss about ios.

So I just switched to Android from being an iToddler. What's the best music app that plays the most formats? I tried Black Player EX but it won't play a bunch of my m4a files.

Even a Pixel 3 doesn't look all that impressive when you look closer
I'm confident gcam will bridge the gap.

Nice apps, the virgin incel starter pack.

w/e man i'm having fun

What's wrong with this shot? It looks great

S8 a good phone? Can get a refurbished model for $300 off amazon.

No, especially not for that price

the details looks like someone painted them in with water colors. It shouldn't look like that, it's horrendous. Pic related is what a real smartphone camera photo looks like.

even here the background details don't look DSLR tier
phone cameras have always been memes. Just use gcam and enjoy

It's an artistic choice, homie. It's as if everything you capture is art in itself

Zoom into the image. There's some very aggressive noise reduction going on which resulted in a loss of detail. Also if you look at that gridline, you can see the software struggled to either keep the image stabilised (implying a lack of OIS) or had problems stitching the data from the sensor.
Compare that to where you have far more noise, but the details are preserved so the image looks closer to how you'd actually see the scene, which makes it look more "natural" for the lack of a better term.
The OP7 image is consistent with IMX586 phones so far, meaning gcam will indeed make it great.

>(implying a lack of OIS)
I thought all OnePlus phones have OIS?

True, but no IMX586 phones had it so far.

>simple camera instead of Open Camera
pleb loser

£150 for a phone.
What do I get.

Phonograph. Nothing else can really compare.

Redmi 7. Not the Note.

ok guys
>3500mah+ battery

>works in the us
should be easy, right?

What's a phone that's got at least 256GB of internal storage (or at least 64GB and an SD card), at least 4GB RAM, and not made in China?

Redmi Note 7, not the Redmi 7

Redmi Note 7

Is there such a thing as a decent mobile browser? Obviously want to avoid chrome and firefox.

>works in the us
n1

it does work in the US

So basically I am just straight up fucked trying to buy a good phone for under $1000CAD now right?
I was waiting for the OP7 but shit looks like it will be $1000 CAD for the pro, and has a shit camera. Even my carrier doesn't seem to want to give me a break for signing a contract anymore.

Note 9

what?

>shit camera
man SOD OFF
SOD
OFF
gcam will make it a real contender. Just fuck off if you can't afford the best flagship in the market. Just. Get. It. 1000cad is perfectly reasonable for it.

Fucking why do I inevitably have to make such insane compromises? Why cant anyone make a pure flagship?

for $1000 CAD I am practically at a p30 pro which has way better cameras bro.
Before the idea of oneplus was it was "good enough" phones for like $300. Now it is "good enough" phones for flagship prices.

a job

Get the OP7 Pro. The camera can hold its own with gcam and that's ALL that matters. It has a notchless display, 90hz refresh rate for ebin snappy feeling and of course the cleanest OS of the lot/unlocked bootloader. Just get it man
also
>microsd
are you high? fuck the jack, fuck wireless charging, the 30w dash charging is fast enough literally why the fuck would you need wireless charging you do realize you'll need to connect the wireless charger itself to a socket right? there's cables involved fuck you man shit reasons just get it

>muh kaymrass
the OP7P has great hardware, gcam will help
you don't value a notch free experience and ebin software above meme cameras? Just get it then, who cares lol enjoy kirinshit huashit spyniggerwarez

>just get it
>just get it
>just get it
How much do you get paid per post?

I have a friend who lives in China, and is visiting me soon. Will it be much cheaper for them to buy the phone there, and bring it with them?

Tiananmen Square
The Great Leap Forward
Multi-party system

OP7P has the best software, a 90hz display that's gonna make things look much smoother, solid battery and cameras that won't look shit with gcam, just get it quite literally. Huawei and Samsung are absolute cancer, anyone on /spg/ can tell you that. gcam beats the Huashit beauty filter shit cam

This shilling is embarassing
>Who cares about all the shortcomings of the device I like
>all that matters is you can sideload the google camera app to it, as if this will magically improve the sensors
Yeah nah.

Oneplus is also chinese you completely fucking retarded shill.

>sprint doesn't support Nokia
..is Motorola actually made in the US or am I getting Chinese spyware no matter what?

gcam does improve things, it's absolutely insane. Look it up online, it's not a meme at all.
to me, the OS and a notchfree display are more important than meme wireless charging, the jack which I never use because lol just get a dragonfly red if phone music is that important, it sounds like shit without it anyway, microsd is a meme when we have 128gb starting storage choices, all that shit. Plus in my country the OP7P is cheaper than the S10e and far cheaper than the P30 Pro. No brainer really
btw the OP7P has better camera hardware than the S10 and if you have an Exynigger S10 you're fucked anyway

Why not the Mi 9?

What's a good alternative for $300 then?

I really hope the Redmi X has a OLED and is cheaper than the OP7. I also hope the Redmi has a global version launch. I can see the OP7 and and pro moving form flagship killer to just flagship.

Kiwi Browser. No other browser offers full extension support, except Firefox and its unbearably slow forks.

Except Poweramp exists...

Yeah well it can't play all codecs. I just installed Poweramp and it can however.

>gcam does improve things, it's absolutely insane. Look it up online, it's not a meme at all.
And it will still be bottlenecked by the sensors.
>a dragonfly red
Oh it is retarded. Sorry I thought I was talking to an adult human. Do you know if the USB C port is gold plated on the OP7 Heard that makes it sound better!

Nah, Motorola is 100% chink now, they're owned by Lenovo

>microsd is a meme when we have 128gb starting storage choice
But I have like 500gb worth of shit on my phone now.

What carrier you on?

>And it will still be bottlenecked by the sensors.
Why?

Not sure if it supports m4a but Retro Music Player is the best I've used, nicest UI by far with lots of UI customization.

Stop saving pictures then you loli loving autist.

>Why?
Because the laws of physics say you can not magically improve optical sensors by simply improving the software on a camera?

Verizon in the US

What in the living fuck is the purpose of 5g on a phone? I just cant figure it out...?

what a retard
you think the OP7P sensors, hardware wise, are worse than the S10 for instance? It's all about software faggot.

they make portable HDDs for a reason, store your porn and movies on them retard
brain cancer
kys again LOL

here's an instance from one of the older generals
gcam absolutely changed the photo quality, it's absolutely night and day
now imagine this on the OP7P

Attached: 1555883404661.jpg (1504x2338, 865K)

p30 pro sensors are all round better.
Specs of the OP7 cameras are not out yet, but I doubt it. I also doubt Samsungs software is worse than porting over the pixel software to an entirely different phone.
>they make portable HDDs for a reason, store your porn and movies on them retard
Yeah, I will bring a USB type C case for a 2.5" HDD with me everywhere I go. It is a feature!

Rumors point to the IMX586, thoughts against the S10's hardware?

the s10+ has a 2x zoom camera while the OP7P has a 3x one
I am sure that at the very least OP7P with gcam will destroy Exyshit samshit, someone posted exy/snap comparison pics in an older general and it's hilarious how bad Exy is
you need to lug your shit around? Just store it at home bro, you're not gonna watch a shitload of movies on the go

My Moto Z has a fucked battery and is displaying an incorrect percentage and shutting down when it's inconvenient. Was thinking about a Moto G7 to replace it, any other ideas?

Funny thing is that it would be more useful as mobile broadband for the countryside especially in America but the mobile networks and Internet providers won't use it for that and instead want to give cities cancer faster.

I'm that dude who put in that 149€ + shipping flash deal in aliexpress for Redmi Note 7 after quick thinking. Now the more I read of it the more insane it seems for that price. I'd have to shell out over 400€ to get noticeable benefits over that, jumping into lower upper tier phones. Somehow it's actually a midrange phone and good at that. I don't get it. How the hell.

Attached: 1547673567369.jpg (483x487, 157K)

why would you let google use your photographs of potentially personal things for their dragnet data collection for artificial intelligence

you will remember saying 'but it was so convenient' when in ten years the camera application will be one button without any options to choose exposure or flash and google's central processing will upload raws to determine optimal image settings. a brainlet poster, roasting you about how AI is far more efficient at determining performance settings than an individual, forever

do not use gcam, do not use photos, do not use google services.

>you need to lug your shit around? Just store it at home bro, you're not gonna watch a shitload of movies on the go
Even if I encoded every single music file I have to V0 I would go over the internal capacity of 128gb. But I would rather just dump that shit, as is, and have some videos, podcasts, etc just in case.

Exynos already gets slapped around by the Mi9 without gcam, it's almost certain the OP7P will do the same with that sensor.

So.. is there any smartphone that isn't made with slave labor? I know the US is basically slave labor, but I guess I'd excuse it since it's not as bad as China. Does Kyocera just import Chinese materials like Samsung and LG?

S10 uses an 855 in the real world. But who really cares about what processor a phone uses in 2019? unless it has drastic power savings.

Why is a 2019 phone advertising Iron Man 3?

It's not slave labor if they're being paid

Dick measuring contest.

there legitimately isn't much of a difference between top tier and low tier. if you aren't buying something that's straight up designed to be gimped for a lower point of sale, it's going to be fine

the entire phone market is a huge bubble and that is why the chinese manufacturers are licking their chops at the prospect of entering the domestic US market, they know how absolutely enormous the margins are and they know how to effectively shrink their margins and still deliver a product people consider acceptable.

phone manufacturers are not making phones as cheap as possible, they make phones to specific price points. companies like LG and Samsung make budget phones that are garbage to push sales of higher point of sale products. xiaomi doesn't care, they want to sell you a phone for $300

Exynos is pure cancer. It nukes everything. It makes the camera software worse, among a lot of other things. There was a great article on it in one of the older generals.

>2019
>3gb ram
>non oled
Literally poverty tier specs. What did you expect...

Not sure if troll or naive.

Sorry senpai, I forgot my /s xD

my phone has an 808 which is probably the worst snapdragon chip out of all of them for power draw and performance and the only thing it can't do is emulate gamecube. the power draw benefit is enormous i'm not trying to downplay it but my garbage 4 year old phone still lasts multiple days.

these aren't the days of the galaxy s2, phones are fashion statements now. there sure as shit isn't much of a practical difference between any of them

>codecs
If your smartphone can't hw decode a file you shouldn't even be bothering, just get a better phone

How is voluntary employment slavery?

the motorola triumph, a shitty Virgin Mobile cash grab copycat of the HTC Thunderbolt i regrettably purchased in 2010, could hardware decode h.264. it legitimately couldn't even connect to 3g and lasted about 45 minutes on a full charge

what the fuck type of phone are you buying that can't hardware decode video?

It's involuntary employment. If you think people are voluntarily working for barely enough money to survive, you're delusional.

something something proletariat, something something materialism, something labor exchange, something something capital, something something cultural dialectic, something something oppression
