Hate apple all you want but they still make the best CPU for smartphone. A12 is still unsurpassed.
Justin Kelly
Fucking Xiaomi when are they releasing the new phone?
Ian Cox
god damn Samsung pushing their own apps as hard as Huawei, i don't give a fuck about samsung cloud, internet browser etc.
Oliver Nelson
my redmi note 7 is getting here today, is there anything i should do first? and is there anything i should do before putting my sim in or anything
Brayden Howard
where are my /ethical/ bros at? How do you ensure your ethical requirements are met with your consumption needs? Are there any ethically made smartphones? I guess the dutch fariphone comes closest to an ethical smartphone, but that doesn't really meet my consumption needs. Id really love to buy one of those chinese phones but they seem to fare as the most questionably ethical products. Apple seems to be leading the industry towards using renewable energy sources and seem to have the longest lasting lifespan products (maybe because normies don't upgrade). But they also have reports of workers suicide on their supply chain.
What are your methods for ethically sound consumption? Do you buy used? Repair? I have a nexus 6p with a dying battery, replacing the battery seems like the best choice but I'm also afraid to break the phone trying.
If you think about it, the most ethical thing to do in any situation is to kill as many people as possible thereby preventing any future harm that they may cause. Stalin was even more correct than he knew when he said, "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem." So try not to think about it too much.
Cooper Richardson
You know how the points are added in benchmark tests? If your phone gets high score because it got a lot of points from doing stuff to a .jpg picture would you say first place is earned and deserved?
go to your application manager and disable what you can. If you cant stand icons left behind (settings) then install custom rom. A theme and a alternative skin if possible.
Lincoln Brown
But you have no issues with Bixby lol?
Lincoln Hall
Compile code on the xr max and then you will see just how much better the a12 is versus everything else.
Adrian Campbell
Just bought a Google Pixel 3A! I allow you all to spit on my grave.
Benjamin Ross
Not permament. Effect lasts 20 years and might only make a stronger bounce back.
You have to inform people. Give them alternatives such as tighty packed living which can be pleasent not some cage and very efficient compared to current way of life. About phones then you should give visibility and proof effiency with scientific method.
Grayson Williams
you should samsung music and browser are fantastic
Gabriel Wright
So should Apple start marketing that their chip is the best compiler and you dont see much difference in anything else when compared to competition?
Ethan Reyes
>competition But nothing comes close to the a12.
Lucas Collins
how close are we talking here? Do we measure in seconds or milliseconds? How big difference justifies not even close, half a sec?
Easton Reed
Start the bootloader unlock countdown.
Ryder Phillips
good for you user I hope you're happy with your purchase
Bentley Hughes
Later this month
Nathan Hernandez
While I do understand the defeatist standpoint of these opinions to some degree, it's still rather crazy to me how people believe its easier to kill all mankind than invest in renewable resources, produce longer lasting products and provide work conditions that won't drive ppl to kill themselves.
Even if your solutions solve some technical problems it doesn't solve the ethical ones. "Try not to think about it too much" is a non-answer and can be applied to anything. "Is there spyware in my technology", "Are they lying about the products real-life performances?", "is there advertising in my software". "Are you a shill?" - Try not to think about it too much buddy.
Just installed AOSP Extended on my Redmeme Note 4. Holy fuck it's good. Camera is shit as always but I have other phones for that. Now it's perfect for shitposting.
I was speaking of life in general, not just phones. A German man more talented with words than I said thusly: >If you try to imagine, as nearly as you can, what an amount of misery, pain and suffering of every kind the sun shines upon in its course, you will admit that it would be much better if, on the earth as little as on the moon, the sun were able to call forth the phenomena of life; and if, here as there, the surface were still in a crystalline state. I have a hand-me-down iPhone 5. Interpret that as you will.
Adrian Barnes
To be the devils advocate Face ID is better than any previous android implementation of face unlock. It was shit to lose fingerprint reader for that though. Also their chips are top of the line always.
I have used both and the main thing apple is good at is to make a normie life as effortless as possible.
Apple Pay is way better than anything else unfortunately, it even worked in nipland with a digital Suica card which was incredibly convenient.
>sent from my Galaxy S10
Landon Martin
Mi 9 by far
Hunter Wood
Hey, can you tell me if the camera is fast? I heard people saying that it takes 2 seconds to take a picture, and that is really slow. I got an iphone 8 plus, and the only thing stopping me from buying de 3a is the camera speed.
USAnon here. Was thinking about getting the LG G8, but I thought I'd check with you all to see if there are any "better deals" that are compatible with the US LTE market.
Logan King
I flashed LineageOS 16 on Redmeme Note 4 and Im enjoying it, gcam for Pie fixes ultra shit camera to mediocre. What ROM do you recommend apart from AOSP Extended?
Matthew Brown
This was such a good phone, I suppose there isn't any slider similar to this one in 2019?
I used the blackberry priv for a while and even though it isn't supported and you can't root or install a custom rom its still usable in the current year. The only real issue beyond those I previously stated is that mine failed in under a year (no longer connects to cellular even after replacing the sim card). So essentially you're fucked unless you want to gamble on some old blackberry.
Alexander Flores
>using the dick wallpaper
Jonathan Scott
I found mine in a closet just yesterday and goddamn do I like it. I don't think there are any sliders really on the market nowadays but I read some comments about the pinephone that they could consider making a qwerty slider case for it maybe. That is probably best we are going to get.
Jeremiah Miller
The only problem with Lineage is the pajeet maintainer has stopped contributing. I heard good things about Pixel Experience but it has too much Google for my tastes.
Leo Ward
Did you mean email?
Zachary Robinson
Get an samsung India made phone such as the m20
Chase Cooper
EUROPE RELEASE WHEN? I hope it's late may/mid June
Is there any phone like Redmi Note 7 pro spec but without notch and with NFC ?
Mason Adams
>fingerprint sensor on the back
barf

Nigga,In display figureprint sensors are shit
Isaiah Hernandez
only in the power button is the true master race

I bought my 3a XL a couple days ago. I'm loving it so far, but the memes about the shitty glass screen might have been real. I fell asleep watching YouTube last night in bed, and woke up with my gun on top of the phone (Jow Forumsommando here, and yes it was unloaded, I was just finger fucking it). It now has a shit ton of small scratches across the left side. Can only see it in glare while it's black, but still. Screen protector should be coming in tomorrow, unfortunately Best Buy didn't have any when I bought it.
Samuel Bennett
Currently have a Moto G5+ with Tmobile in the US. I came into a new job that pays 6 times what I was making previously, so after paying my debts off I wanted to treat myself to a phone. I got the Iphone X 64 gb. Sim is fucked and now I have to return it to the seller, they say they can replace it from an unlocked that doesnt accept sims to a Tmobile locked sim. Hopefully things go well. Would you guys recommend I upgrade to the 256 gb as opposed to the 64gb? It's about 80-100 more (from 650, to 730-750) depending on the carrier and color. I want to keep the iphone for a good 3-4 years minimum.
Any other places than ebay that are honest sellers? or will I have to do a lot of research?
Connor Edwards
Stop buying from shady resellers and just buy it from the store. Stick with 128 gb unless you want to store tons of gay porn
Jaxon Miller
Has anybody used the Samsung One UI on the new S10s? Does it suck?
Ayden Rogers
For that price difference, yeah do the upgrsde, it's very worthwhile if you want to keep the phone on long term. Using it on S10+, I quite like it, its quite better than Samsung Experience. First time in years I was able to stick to Android for more than a week and haven't had any performance, battery or app issues.
Brody Murphy
I see your point, but apple doesnt sell any refurbished iphone X, as its the same price as an Xr and it only offers 64,256 gb
only places that I know sell it are Amazon and Ebay, but I haven't done much lookovers
I thought so, I'll buy the expanded when the return goes through.
Nathaniel Parker
>I wanted to treat myself to a phone A 2yr old refurbished phone. Did you get a promotion from a McDonald's cook to a McDonald's manager?
Adam Thomas
Try Swappa, bought several phones from there and had zero problems. Look for sellers with feedback and if something goes wrong you have paypal protection.
Landon Collins
haha nah, don't be rude user, got a job as a college student from clerical making 10, to a comfy office job for a construction company, making 6k a month, 5200 after taxes. Paid up my debts, my emergency fund, and I live with my brother for cheap rent. I opted for the iphone x since it has better specs than the xr overall, its the same price, and is cheaper than the Xs which is not that much difference for alot more.
I'll look into that then, if I get another problem with the other phone that seller sends, I'll get my refund and look up over there.
I know that the 256 gb is 800, new in tmobiles website, so maybe 70 is not that bad for a convience fee, considering the price.
Not sure.
Thomas Myers
>want to buy the new Oneplus 7 Pro >no headphone jack REEEEEEEEE
Colton Barnes
i am considering buying a mi mix 2s.. it has gotten pretty cheap. talk me out of it /g
Isaac Perez
Galaxy a50 or Redmi 7?
Jordan Morales
if your pocophone still have locked bootloader and stock recovery, you should be ashamed of yourself. I just "rooted" a phone for the first time ever. If you don't know what root is, it's basically giving your phone the full permission I think. It's owning the phone fully. I just discovered a bunch of cool stuff in "magisk" which is the "root" app. I'm about to install a bunch of "magisk mod", like "xiaomi dual camera watermark editor" to trick my firends lol and I highly recommend "YouTube vanced" which is basically a modified YouTube app which has bunch of customisation (the ultimate reason of rooting your phone!). Now I can finally download and install google camera on playstore "need camera api2 enabled" (I'll dig into this stuff later). Also I'm open to more tips and tricks on "rooted" devices to use it fully. So far I'm planning to do this >magisk mod >xiaomi dual camera watermark editor youtube vanced >google
Mix 3, mi 8 and even the mi 9 is not that much compared to it. Consider the shit camera position.
Chase Reed
With the phone performing that poorly, they should just return the remaining funds.
Jack Howard
So lads, I got a new android phone and wanna transfer images, you see I don't want it copied over because then all the dates of when the images were made will be made to today for example, is there an app so it stays the same?
Julian Lee
Gallery apps usually pick up on exif data rather than file creation date when deciding, so try copying one or two over and see how it behaves.
James Ramirez
What happened to the qwerty mod for the Z series tho?
Kayden Edwards
Youtube Vanced works without root, camera2api is enabled out of the box on Pocophone so GCam works without root too.
Aaron Rogers
Not him but it takes pictures quickly, it just has to process them after it's done for whatever reason (done in the background). I noticed that I can't rapid fire 100 pictures at a time though. Camera itself is good, not super amazing but pretty good.
Thomas King
Wait for the Redmi flagship, it's gonna be epic. Snapdragon 855, notchless OLED display, 4000mah battery, 48MP camera.
Angel Torres
Why don't more phones do this? It looks better and it's a better position.
Thanks user. Do you think i should stick to the iphone then? I only care about the camera and fingerprint scanner. Someone said that the 3a camera is a lot better than the iphone. Can you tell me what you're thinking so far about the 3a?
Asher Smith
Up to you really, also depends on the iPhone you have? I sold my iPhone XS and got the 3a XL and pocketed the change. Camera quality is really too similar to tell any major difference but I'm no photographer, the bokeh effect is different with the Pixel dimming the blurred background more. For videos the iPhone XS definitely wins out but that's a given. Happy with the camera, phone feels super light (bonus for me, may not be for you), NFC works great and it's fast. I don't really do anything heavy on the phone beyond social media and some videos.
Any good mid range phones (around 150-200$) with decent specs and at least 32gb of storage? I was looking at the redmi note 7 but it's not compatible with t-mobile so I'm looking for other options
I accidentally dropped my iPhone SE the glass received multiple hairline cracks. Anyone ITT knows what screens are best? I'm not going to an apple store / authorized provider to pay overprice for something me or my friends can fix ourselves.
Buy used/unused samsung note 4 S5 any S7 no actives S8 S9 Note 9 Oneplus 3-6
Buy new battery replacement. Get a real upgrade. Except if you care about what your local isheeps think about you ditching their tribe.
Lucas Hughes
I love Samsung browser though. Agree on the rest.
Kevin Taylor
I like compact phones that are sturdy and I received it for free from my last job. Fuck off if you're going to be some hivemind Jow Forums-larping faggot. I'd rather buy a 4G dumbphone than purchasing a smartphone.
iSheplees are fucking retarded, but androidfags are almost worse with their insecurity complex.
Jason Morgan
best used phone for lineage os? i was looking a used Pixel 1, they go for less than 100$
Jaxson Ortiz
isnt the iphone owner the insecure one? Why would the android user be insecure? They aint buying because group pressure or to flex.
