What is the most fun smartphone 150 Eurobucks can buy you? Not as a main phone but for shits and giggles to play with?
I'm looking for some interesting hardware, not interested in specs necessarily. The Blackberry Priv looks like a fun concept with its slider mechanism and its dead cheap on ebay. Or any other Keyboard-Phone. What else is there, that is cheap and not just a black brick of glass?
so it won't be 90hz all the time? What's the point lol, will it be used for bidio games only?
Bentley Harris
Looks like some sort of possum or whatever, they chill with ducks like that? Cute how the baby swam to its mother.
Jackson Hughes
I'd get a Pixel 3 but it has an abominable battery life and older specs and costs more than the S10E in my country, and for comparison the OP7P costs less than the S10E the 90hz thing won't be a problem, seemingly. If Gcam fixes the shitty watercolor photos, if the stereo speakers are legit and if the GPS isn't bunk again I'll get it. It really is the best fagship you can buy.
Jack James
Does anyone here successfuly use fullscreen gestures + case? When i put a case on, it completely prevents me from doing the "back" gesture
Brandon Parker
>What's the point I guess it'll run at 90hz when you're interacting with the phone like opening apps and scrolling, or when playing games, to make the phone feel smoother, and when the phone's just displaying a static image, or you're watching a video with 60fps or less it will run at 60hz.

here's what i did: go on ebay and searched for the cheapest "android one" phones. got my used kyocera s4 from japan for $75. pretty basic but i'm having fun dicking around with apps and tweaks that my iphone se wouldn't allow. it even has a lanyard hole!
I use Apple Pay to pay for shit but our public transport doesn't support Apple Pay or debit/credit cards, just their own dedicated card which takes an entire 90 minutes to top up online which can be a pita as the inspectors will fine you anyway even if you show them the receipt. Cunts.
Jose Sanders
Coypu?
Bentley Cox
Got my Redmi Note 7 in the mail. So far pretty good. Its pretty big tho coming from a 5.8inch phone. Installed nova launcher. Anything else i should do?
Jonathan Price
kek
Christopher Robinson
Get rid of the miui apps as they are all pretty shitty and can find better alternatives.
I went into a store and saw the Galaxy S10e It's so good Small, nice screen, no bezels, no curved edge bullshit. It was the first time I've held an Android phone and it felt as good as an iPhone The Galaxy S10 and S10+ felt like trash compared to that one.
Is it very gimped compared to the big siblings or are the specs, camera etc identical?
Tweak Nova until you have a look you like? You can hide folders as icons if you want a minimal look, just hold the folder, click the pencil and select "Swipe to open folder". If you listen to music without streaming services, Retro Music Player is nice and highly customizable when it comes to appearances, install GBoard for glide, solid explorer, GCam, Moon Reader Pro for books, podcast app of choice (I like Pocket Casts for sync) and a browser that supports adblock like Samsung's.
Julian Ward
>no bezels I used to get furious at zoomers having such shit taste but that's life, takes all sorts to make the world go round but imagine thinking holeshit is actually better than bezels or even the regular notch. Fucking lol
Isaac Davis
Notice how all these wallpapers are designed to hide the camera hole? Samshit knows it's a disgusting design choice. If you have any taste at all you should be immediately repulsed by it but as I said, takes all sorts. If you're okay with it, go for it. There's no hardware shortcomings except some extra cameras.
>tfw finally got my hands on a somewhat decent Sony phone for a good price feels good man
Mason Flores
Let's create a Jow Forums smartphone infographic for phones that offer the best value. There's issues with just recommending the chinkphone list, as we all know. I have an idea of two parts: the recommendations at different price points and a brand shit list that we should avoid at all cost. I also plan to add tags that are helpful such as (runs MIUI instead of AOSP-like). I'm out of the loop so I need your help. Give me your phone recommendations or suggestions for the infographic and I'll add it to the template.
Anthony Young
I wouldn't mind a notch instead of the hole but I don't think there's any other good phone at that size, everything else is huge
Jaxson Wood
Anything is better than disgusting bezels, old man.
Wait for the samsung m40 ,same internal and screen , way less price plus its smaller than your foot
Zachary Evans
based and chinkpilled

(posted this in the dying thread on accident)
Got two questions:
1. Is there any way in Android 9.0 to remove the labels from under apps on the home screen without rooting your phone or downloading a custom launcher? I'm going to be using my phone for work, so I don't want to root it just yet and I don't want to bloat my phone with needless launchers either.
2. My dad has been using a Windows phone for the past 5 years and it finally broke. He only kept using it because its camera was 40MP or something, so he wants the next one he gets to have the best camera as possible. I did some research on my own and found some phones with at most 20MP cameras, are there any phones with cameras that are close to what he had?
Owen Clark
Well the Redmi X or whatever it is will be the Poco 2 and it’s going to be announced on the 15th so I’d definitely wait.
Robert Baker
Maybe this would be an improvement. No more specific brand shilling and anti-shilling.
only replies you're gonna get here are shitposts and shills
Parker Fisher
What the fuck happened to /spg/? People here used to know their shit when I came here years back.
Jace Miller
Are you sure it's not charging? Charging through USB ports on PC is really slow, IIRC USB 2.0 gives 0.5A and USB 3.0 gives 0.9A at most.
Bentley Bell
>had an LG V10 >was happy with it for a few years, only complaint is that the battery started going after awhile >then out of nowhere it goes into a bootloop one day >literally just bricked for no reason >I was eventually able to get it to boot long enough to recover the data on it by [spoiler]putting it in the oven for awhile then putting it in the freezer[/spoiler]
I ain't buying LG phones anymore after that shit.
Justin Collins
1. If it's not a feature in the stock launcher then you got to change the launcher 2.Huawei P30 Pro
Robert Reed
There's a light at the bottom that turns on when it's charging and the battery icon turns green and says charging at the bottom. That happens when it's plugged in but then stops 2 seconds later and the power loses percentage.
Mason Hughes
Now that you mention it, my V10 did the same.
It was still under warranty so I got a replacement almost right away. Though I just decided to upgrade to the V30 because I had a 'replacement' by which I mean refurbished Droid Turbo and that thing went fucking bonkers on me.
Mason Anderson
>years back.
There’s your problem, after the doubling of traffic to the site in 2016 the site has went to shit since Jow Forums Incels spread to every board turing everything once good to shit.
Jow Forums is no exception.
Eli Mitchell
I'll make a separate thread dedicated to the guide and see if there are more non-shills interested.
Carter Rivera
messing around with samsung internet, seems decent. i see you can install an adblocker but ublock isnt available. whats the next best alternative?
Colton Collins
noice ty
Austin Jenkins
Why not just plug it into damn outlet instead?
Austin Reyes
thanks for the tips. I run into this issue when after installing gcam. Text dosent get way tried different note 7 apks, I am probably just stupid tho. Cant seem to uninstall the miui apps, wont give me the option.
I'm gonna recommended nu-nokia for the sole reason my $150 aud nokia 1 got the april security update on april 9th.
Elijah Robinson
got s10e yesterday desu cant tell a difference between those two
Hudson Jones
between s10e and s7 i meant the only difference is camera, i literally use a few apps and never play games, so speed is irrelevant nobody gives a shit, ask the questions
Bentley Mitchell
What phone? On Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s and other low bezel phones with a thick case, I've never ever had problems triggering gestures.
For whatever reason xiaomi seems to have the best gestures, they are very easy to trigger and never fail.
Caleb Robinson
>Galaxy S8 >LG V30
Leaning towards the V30 just because I've seen some pretty good battery life compared to the meh battery life on the S8. But I will say that the S8 looks like a better experience.
Jackson Jenkins
Can't you just reach for S9 instead?
Owen Reed
There's just better phones now. I wouldn't buy any big notch phone now when the water drop cameras are available.
Joshua Martinez
Extremely based Shoo
John Bell
What a loser. There's only a handful of phones everyone should buy.
William Price
the camera is the only reason to upgrade a phone, s7 is still great and camera is good too for the price
Aaron Long
I was trying to spend a max of $300. Is the S9 that much better than the S8 that it warrants the extra $70ish?
Aaron Perez
>use same hardware as Huashit >modify gcam and pass it off as your own there, now every flagship has a top tier camera. Why can't they do this? Some nerd on xda can make a gcam port but these big companies can't bother to make a solid camera app? Fucking cockmunchers.
Jayden Sanchez
S8 fingerprint reader is located in the midst inconvenient place possible; vertically right beside the camera. Get the S9 at least.
Josiah Perez
And those are...
Asher Miller
iphone xs max op7p s10+
Isaiah Sanchez
I don't know if that would be worth the extra cash when the S8 looks about the same. I'm a fairly light user, mostly I just use my phone for music and youtube.
Adrian Williams
>music and youtube
why buy either of those then? get a 150 chinkphone.
Jose Moore
I have had a stylo 2 for a few years now and its starting to break. I'd rather just spend another $100 and have something nice that would last a bit longer.
Adam Richardson
Redmi Note 7, Zenfone Max Pro M1/M2, Xperia XZ1. These cover the poorfag segment and come in different shapes and designs, something for everyone. Mi 9 for poorfag flagship, better than poocomeme, OP7P for best flagship, Pixel 3 if your don't want chicom flagships. I made a different general months ago, it was real comprehensive and had dozens of phones listed across different price tiers, even accounting for burgers with their pozzed carriers. You fags didn't move it forward in the succeeding generals.
Kayden Taylor
Branded chinee phones are real fucking good. Get Samshit if you want but you can get something like the Redmi Note 7 and it'll last you forever. Times have changed. Chinkphones are the leaders across all price segments.
Jeremiah Mitchell
I was looking at those way before samsung but I though the chinkphones didn't work on US networks? I'm on Verizon in the US btw.
Ethan Thompson
Ive been using my 2017 a5 since october 2017, i love it to death, put in a 64gig card in it, ive dropped it from my pocket going 25 kph on my bike, not even a scratch have a nice day anons
What phone to replace redmi 3s? Note7 or something else?
Jackson Carter
Best camera phones with sd slot to use in Europe and occasionally USA. I can buy either in USA or EU. For less then 200/400 and 600?
Juan Bailey
Just copy pasted the /spg/ general and added a disclaimer for three companies, fuck off stop trying to reinvent the wheel. S9+ or something, your choices are very limited. Fuck the sd slot, get the Pixel 3.
Landon Morales
For that guy who was asking about twitter clients, I use Flamingo but it's been discontinued.
Henry Brooks
Redmi Note 7 or Mi 9 SE, global versions
Jacob Young
My Nexus 6p finally decided to die, and I have to get a phone for work, preferably something that will last me a year
Should I go for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, Note 7 or the Mi 8 Lite?
No games or anything, but heavy multitasking and would like for it to have mSD
Jack Fisher
my 6T is superb now to get a tempered glass screen protector for it
Superb? Some other user who owns it was shitting on it in the last general. Got any problems with the display, the GPS, the speaker quality, camera with gcam, all that?
Brandon Kelly
I thought the 6T came with a pre-applied screen protector?
Zachary Ramirez
>problems with the display looks crystal clear to me >GPS haven't gotten the chance to really test the gps out >speaker quality they sound good enough. they're not audiophile, but for a phone they sound pretty good >camera with gcam the camera looks excellent. there is quite a bit ISO noise in low light, but it's only near unbearable if you zoom the camera all the way in it did but I'm a retard and managed to poke it with the SIM card slot tool (the screen is fine)
Josiah Hughes
Dunno what that other user was on about, pic related is his post. I'm glad it's not shit, I'm gonna get the OP7P and it's gonna be my first chinkphone.
The shit company list is important because people come to /spg/, read the OP, then still buy shit phones. Then they make new threads complaining that Android is terrible because they bought an old Samsung. It literally happened again today. Here: This infographic is a fast way to tell OP that he's retarded and how to do better next time. It's like the infographic in the stolen iPhone threads.
Julian Clark
>Still no IP rating Was expected for the Pro, but how do you think OnePlus sealed off that pop-up camera when no one else could?
