Lads I just cracked my Redmi Note 4 screen somehow, I need a replacement that doesn't have the fucking popup camera coz I know it's just going to break and/or be a dust trap. K20 would be ideal without that but w/e. Any other suggestions?
that's kinda funny, my RN4P just broke too, only the battery won't charge.
Are there any news on the mi mix 3 5g?
Aiden Johnson
Mi9 looks like a runner, thanks
Mine still runs fine but I had a couple of days where it wouldn't charge properly too

What is better between LCD, OLED and AMOLED? I'm contemplating the new Anus phone but people shit on it about the LCD, and I saw a bunch of chink phones with decent enough specs for the price and AMOLED screens but I don't know shit about screens except that LCD can have ghosting issues that would seem pretty bad for phones.
anything you did you resurrect it? I got some f-droid apps and things I need to backup to change phones
David Cox
Cleaned the contacts with a q-tip and alcohol solution, and a safety pin. Not sure if it helped but it's working again anyway
Jackson Gonzalez
Just fucking buy it you total cunt
Ryan Gray
But I don't want to buy a phone that has a risk of screen ghosting
Hunter Hernandez
>no in-display fingerprint sensor >can't unlock the phone while it's laying on a flat surface Are rear fingerprint sensors already outdated? This doesn't spell good news for Asus.
Brayden Phillips
Rear fingerprint sensor is the only good non password based authentication system.
Luis Rogers
In my experience (AM)OLED screens don't suffer burn-in if you have reasonable brightness. That means at around 50% most of the time. I can't say anything about color degradation, because I haven't tested that myself. LCD's can suffer from image retention which isn't permanent and it has only really been a thing on older LG panels.
Mi Mix 2s or Mi Mix 3? K20 it's out of questions because im not gonna wait and I'm only have 350usd as budget. In pretty sure that between a 845 and a 855 processor the difference it's meaningless.
Ayden Evans
I hope note
Justin Hill
How can it be with the flaw I just pointed out?
Lucas Hernandez
Just pick up your phone, shovel hands
Liam Lopez
It literally won't
Zachary Long
STOP being such a tard. small pinhole square in the middle, yes.
Blake Hall
Well 3 then, obviously.
Robert Thomas
Will the OP7 ever come to Burgerland, or should I just buy a 6T? I don't care about all the 7 pro extras.
What THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU FUCK GET THE ZENFONE 6, IT'S BURGER CERTIFIED AND A MILLION TIMES BETTER.
David Walker
s10+ or s10e?
Noah Bailey
Switching from a Redmi Note 4 to the Pixel 3a. I hope stock android is worth it. I always thought /spg/ would be pixel diehards for the stock experience.
Caleb Rivera
no it ain't coming. Maybe in November.
Grayson Parker
Everything about the K20 Pro sounds too good to be true right now. What are they gonna CHINK out on?
Blake Moore
Have fun with your shit hardware user
Austin Perry
The materials, probably.
Jacob Miller
NFC
Nicholas Hall
You can get good software via Lineage, loser. Google Pixels are a massive joke. Wouldn't use one for free.
Anthony Thomas
What’s the point in good hardware if the software is shit? MIUI is trash and so is most of the chink UI’s out there. I’d rather have stock android for three years than one shit UI skin change.
Jeremiah Williams
What sounds so fantastical about it? It has a shit nerfed IMX586, shit OLED screen that budget SoC phones have now, chink OS, chink cameras. Chinked waterproofing, no dual stereo speakers maybe. All this for ~$400. What's so special here? It has NFC.
Wyatt White
k20's camera probably sucks
Gabriel King
The Zenfone 6 is cheaper than the Pixel 3a xl here and it absolutely rapes it. Good software and support too. Just suck my ass, Google apologist.
John Myers
Same dogshit sensor as the other SD855 phones. The software will be shit, but who cares when you have gay cam
Oliver Howard
Say it with me: I WOULD RATHER ENJOY FANTASTIC HARDWARE FOR TWO YEARS THAN SHIT HARDWARE FOR THREE YEARS. I CAN USE MY PHONE FOR THREE YEARS, BEING JUST ONE ANDROID GENERATION BEHIND WON'T STOP MY PHONE FROM WORKING.
Sebastian Butler
>lineage
Listen I ain’t some Linux loving Incel with the time or patience to install some fedora wearing loser OS.
Andrew Bell
I'm still using a Galaxy s4.
Camden Torres
I hate google as much as the next guy but software wise it’s them or Apple. If more phones used android one this wouldn’t be a problem but I guarantee Asus UI is garbage as it will have zero R&D put into it like most chink phones, hardware is all well and good but if the core software is shit the what’s the point?
Michael Adams
>i'd rather get shit working out of the box than something good that i have to configure for less than 15 minutes (if you aren't a brainlet, that is)
Why do you talk without knowing, the Zenphone 6 is basically using stock android with optimization and camera related software
Gabriel Roberts
my galaxy s2 is on my desk right now running los 14 with android 7 :)
Connor Baker
Why the fuck do you guys need a monster cpu on a fucking phone? I thought that a 845 could virtually handle every single game and app without problems at all? If that's the case, why would you upgrade a Poco, for example, for a "better smartphone"? It's all about status? Serious question tho.
Lucas Ward
Is it confirmed for the K20 pro microSD slot?
Nathan James
Same reason people care about phone cameras, generalized autism
Jace Russell
>I have no gf so spend my time installing open source software on technology people stopped caring about 2 years ago to feel more intelligent on the internet.
Leo Phillips
Begone pajeet, off to the shitting streets!
Benjamin Ortiz
i'm totally fine with picking up a poco after i see the price go down with the k20 release and people flooding the market with their used pocos
Ian Bailey
>imagine using a gook phone
Camden Williams
Which cpu should be considered the minimum standard to run every single app/game in max settings without problems? A 825? 835? 845?
Liam Rogers
Are there any decent phones with a keyboard except the Key2?
Joshua Jackson
WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS GOOGLE ASSIST BUTTON SO FUCKING CONTROLLING?!
Early reviews of Zenfone 6 said the button with 3 individual functions had customization, but its literally just this tiny fucking list mostly just acting as a volume rocker or only a google assist button with specific actions. IF YOU ARE GONNA GIVE ME A PERSONAL SMART KEY, WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO USE A LAGGY 3RD PARTY APP JUST TO GET USE OUT OF IT
EVEN FUCKING BIXBY NOW LETS YOU AT LEAST MAKE DOUBLE TAP OPEN AN APP OF YOUR CHOICE?! HOW THE FUCK DID THE HONOR 8 COME OUT 4 YEARS AGO AND LET YOU HAVE ALL 3 FUNCTIONS BUT NOW THEY CAN'T BE ASSED TO GIVE YOU PHYSICAL ACCESS TO YOUR APPS ON A CLICK!?
HOW THE FUCK DO WE GET ASUS TO GIVE US THE FUCKING BUTTON
>realme x >no nfc I wondered what's the catch with this thing, besides the shitty non-stock os, and it turns out to be this. When will chinks stop skimping on nfc? fuck
Most wont see the difference in general use. No reason to pay high and focus on the SoC unless you got very specific need.
You should rather focus on screen, repairs and battery if you want more life from your phone.
Jackson Russell
LCD = idiotproof mature tech, uses polarization to display anything besides white, black displays as gray AM/OLED = prone to damage if used incorrectly, uses clusters of rgb to display anything but black, black displays as turned off clusters
amoled refers to samsung panels while oled refers to other manufacturers How to not wreck am/oled: always use auto brightness, set screen auto off to 5 minutes or less, basically don't leave it looping a static image music video in direct sunlight for hours with the screen on
Henry Robinson
people are gonna tell you to avoid am/oled because >muh burrrrrn insssssss but it is just poorfags coping with their 90s screens. oled or fuck off
Ethan White
did you make every single one of those facts up in your head
LCD = liquid crystal display OLED = organic LED AMOLED = active matrix LED
oled is more susceptible to manufacturing defects. But this is more than fault of the chinks not running proper QC. Still far superior display tech. Burn in is a meme. And can usually be reversed (it's actually uneven wear and can be fixed by accelerating wear on the rest of the screen, there's apps that do it).
Leo Evans
cope
Ryan Miller
>can be fixed by accelerating wear on the rest of the screen do you even hear yourself?
Jacob Perry
have sex
Dylan Walker
>fix burn in by burning in everywhere else on the screen which wasn't affected modern problems require modern solutions
Daniel Adams
I am having sex, with your mom
Luis King
>OLED = organic LED >AMOLED = active matrix LED All oled panels larger than like 150x150px are active matrix you niggerfaggot there is also p-oled to designate that the substrate is plastic rather than glass but its all the same tech >LCD = liquid crystal display And I was describing the characteristics of the panel type not literally defining them or did your ESL ass not pick up on that?
Bentley Perez
Seething.
Isaiah Garcia
When will they fucking release realme3 pro ffs
Benjamin Myers
It's not shit, retard. Stop being so uppity.
Grayson Rivera
I have a bidet because I'm a richfag, shoo yourself TPcel.
Liam Harris
It's time to man up. Just man up and deal with it. Stop complaining. Huh?
Levi Mitchell
>hardware defects can be reversed with software LOL
Anthony Stewart
It's already available here, gweilo. My friend just got one! Kek!
Carter Hill
if people can complain to samsung to get bixby to be remappable, why the fuck can't ASUS?
Leo Cruz
>The OnePlus 3 gets three major updates >Now my OnePlus 5 will get three as well Thank you papa OnePlus
>why would you upgrade a Poco, for example, for a "better smartphone"? It's not even a year old. Only reason to upgrade is if you lost or broke your phone.
Zachary Taylor
>It has a shit nerfed IMX586 Oh fucking fuck off, is 48 MP not good enough for you? >shit OLED screen that budget SoC phones have now What in the flying fucking fucking fuck are you talking about? It hasn't been released yet, how can you even begin to pretend to assess its display? And which budget phones have OLED screens, what are you smoking? >chink OS Yeah, good thing it's a Xiaomi device which are as developer friendly as they get and custom ROMs are just a matter of time. >chink cameras What the fuck does this mean? >Chinked waterproofing Again, the device hasn't even been released yet, so, what the fuck are you talking about? And some Xiaomi devices have had rubber protection rings in the past, although not an official IP rating. It's nice to have, but definitely not necessary. >no dual stereo speakers maybe Yeah and this the standard and only Xiaomi is excluding it? Fuck off. >All this for ~$400. What's so special here? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, maybe all that for around $400? Find me another manufacturer with comparable specs and that pricing. You can't, because they don't exist.

Anyone have problems with Android 9 home widgets? I can't remove some fucking calendar widget top of my home page.

Imagine going this far to defend a phone that doesn't isn't even out yet
