Red, blue or black, /spg/?

Usually I always go with black, but that K20 is just too sexy with its blue/red back

how am I supposed to fit 100gb of my music, 20gb for apps, 300gb of porn/anime titties and the rest for taking high-res pictures of my cats everyday?

Why won't anyone make a real Note competitor? I use the stylus daily, and I don't dislike Samsung but I'm getting a little bored, not a big fan of some of their recent UI and design choices either.

The LG Stylo is trash.

I'm between red and blue just because the red looks like pink

US BROS THE BANDS
WHAT ABOUT THE BANDS
ZENFONE HAS MORE US BANDS

OnePlus 7 Pro pop-up bad
Redmi K20 pop-up good

that is the kind of shit my tech illiterate grandparents used to do m8

OP7fags coping they spent twice as much for a non working screen

Cant wait to see some fat neckbeard losers with their pop up cameras.

Holy shit that looks so terrible, id prefer having no front camera.

does op7 still have the ghost touch or something? im out of the loop

Why would neckbeard losers ever use the pop-up camera when they don't have friends?

But I don't want to buy a screen protector

WILL IT BE AVAILABLE IN THE US

NO, FUCK YOU AMERICAN

screen protectors are snake oil anyway

With those newfangled bezelless phones, the notification led is gone forever isn't it? They're not by any chance adding like a really small LED in the top edge, or maybe something under the screen that will shine through when the screen is of, are they?

Attached: 1557926498354.jpg (1080x1047, 173K)

MIUI is so ugly, please tell me you can put something better on it.

thats actusally a good point.

so the camera will just never be used, i guess.

I read there's actually a notification LED, but we also though it had µSD a few hours earlier, so i'm not sure it's reliable. I'd like a confirmation as well

always-on amoled displays have rendered them obsolete anyway

how are they snake oil? they don't cost much and keep the display free of scratches.

>inb4 gorilla glass doesn't scratch
from personal experience, it does

>unlocked bootloader
Of course you can. And it will have support.

>Holy shit that looks so terrible, id prefer having no front camera.
Isn't that exactly the point? You get both no bezel and no notch, and the only price is whatever the extra cost for the mechanism is which is probably not more than like $30 (probably less for the flagship killer tier stuff like K20). Since actually removing the front camera is something mainstream phones will never do, this means that your only option there is to buy super low volume hobby projects (think Librem tier, and yet even Librem has a camera) whose cost is inflated vastly more than a meaguer $30 due to a complete absense of economy of scale.

Based coping buyers remorse retardbro.

Zenfone 6 has a notification LED even though it's bezeless

Black, not a huge fan of the squiggly lines myself
maybe it'll look better in real life

Wait, K20 has no microSD? I went to work this morning fully convinced it did. Fuck

the notification light is on top of the pop-up camera on the K20

>using always on display

lmao

Snap 730 or 855? i don't care about gayman on a fucking phone. But if the processing power *really* is better on the 855, then i'll go with the K20 pro

Attached: 1487032629210.png (706x412, 278K)

the only remorse I have is not putting a screen protector on my current phone because now it has a few scratches on it. If I had spent $2 on a screen protector the display would still be scratch-free.

>always-on amoled displays have rendered them obsolete anyway
I disagree, the display doesn't catch your attention enough. The LED is still useful.
What a fucking awful spot for it, how are you even supposed to see it if it's on the top of the phone and not in the front?

To be fair I use it, but monochrome ultra low brightness is the exact opposite of what a notification light should be like

enjoy your burn-in

so effectively it doesn't have a usable notification LED then.

The only acceptable thing to add to your phone is a very thin, leather flip case and if you disagree you're a retard faggot or braindead cunt whore.

the clock and shit moves around slightly to prevent this.

Reminder: Xiaomi phones require account registration and a proprietary tool verify remotely your unique identification # to unlock your bootloader.

Sony, LG, Google doesnt not.

>need to flip it open every time you want to use your phone
Sounds retarded

Do you just want to sell your phone in 1 year and so have to keep it 100% scratch free, or wtf are you doing with your phone.

My G4 Play has probably some shittier scratchproof display and in the last 2 years it got maybe 10 micro scratches, which you only see, if you really look for them.
Without case or display foil.
Dont know why you would like to get a worse haptic experience for no reason.

bought a flip case back when I was buying my Galaxy Note 3, realized it was a meme and only used it for like a week in total
naked is better, you'll want to replace your phone by the time it has serious wear on it anyway

The processing power is obviously better dude

Somebody please give me a straight answer on whether K20 has a microsd slot

Also britbong release when

correct, if you are a soccermom

I can only tolerate those "cases", if they 100% replace your wallet.
If not, those cases are the easiest way to spot losers.

gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_k20_pro-9708.php
Sadly no.
>Also britbong release when
Most likely a month after China/India release.

hello friend , please delete this post thank you

Asus did exactly that user.

I only replaced my phone when it literally stopped working, being a consumerist goy is not for me.

Reminder - Sony and LG are sadly irrelevant and on their way out. You can also register with an email accont.

yes, hello.
I will comply with CCP policy thank you friend.

So the faggots traded Sd slot for NFC AHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING CHINKS

coming from essential ph-1, what phone should i get next?

would like:
close to stock android
same or bigger screen size
better camera
more than 4gb of ram

putain

OnePlus 7 Pro

Fuck. Well at least the non-pro has a 256GB version, that'll be enough for me, better than the days when your choices were 32 or 64 GB

My next phone will be a Xiaomi Redmi GO and anyone getting anything more than that is a gay larper who thinks they're gonna need to do blender renders on their phone.

>1GB RAM
do you know how little ram android apps use?

How's life in 2011?

Is zenfone 6 the most revolutionary phone of the 21st century?

No

Yes

Enjoy your bootloops, image retention, garbage cameras, battery life and paying extra for all that convenience.

Anus shills blown the fuck out before the Shitfone 6 even released, how will they ever recover?

Shit that doesn't work in Oreo or Pie

What phone do I honestly get next?

I like the op7pro for the screen but no headphone jack and small battery

I like zenfone 6 for the headphone jack and bigger bettery, but the screen looks average and the camera might be shit

Coming from an s8+ and a good camera is kind of important, i feel like both of these phones would be a downgrade

keep your S8+ and invest the money

Wait for the Note 10.

don't even bother S8 is fine

Note 10 if you MUST upgrade.

zf6 hands down

P30 Pro

Kek, based

Reports on the ZF6's camera have been surprisingly positive so far. The only flaw of the phone so far really seems to just be the screen but even that is viewed as a positive by some.

>4000 mAh battery
>small
don't buy into the Zenfone meme. Trash software and it won't get official lineage.

I'll do that, contract is done in September i'll just get a SIM only, never doing a phone contract again

I don't appreciate the hole punch or notches in phones but thank you for the answer

You're right, i dropped it a month ago and the corner is cracked so the issue is only aesthetic, It's easy to forget about it though

I heard the software is just stock Android? Unless i'm mistaken.

Cheers for the answers

Depends on your country. Mine (Chile) needs to pay taxes for every product that exceeds the 30usd margin. They hold it, then they send you an email asking you for references about the product (basically a screenshot of the AliExpress product details and transaction), and a screenshot showing the movement in your bank account that matches the product/dates of the purchase. Then, they calculate the real tax (which it's basically 25%-30% of the total) and send the product to my local custom office. Then I have to pay the tax to being able to get my item.

Simple as.

>Trash software
It's literally as good if not better than OxygenOS now. Cope.

gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_6-review-1937p3.php
>6.4-inch display is okay, not great
>Asus explains its choice not to fit an OLED display with costs - the LCD helped stay within budget. Our tests showed that the display is, indeed, not the greatest bit about the Zenfone 6. A maximum brightness of 455nits in auto mode and 424 when adjusting the slider manually isn't very high. In fact most recent OLEDs can actually go brighter, and LCDs should be able to pump out even more nits.
>The fairly high illumination of the blacks means a contrast ratio around 1200:1 - we've gotten used to at least 1600:1 from the better LCDs.
>We have little praise for the way the Zenfone 6 handles color. While the display does look vibrant in the default Wide gamut mode, it's not overly accurate. We measured an average deltaE of 5.5 and a maximum of 8.9 for our usual set of DCI-P3 swatches, with the the whites heavily shifted towards blue/cyan. The Standard mode was supposed to be tuned for accurate sRGB rendition but we measured an average deviation with a deltaE of 5.9 and a maximum of 9.7, which is not stellar.

Been looking through Amazon for a OP7Pro flipcase and I don't see any reputable brands making flipcases.
Been looking at Nillkin and Obamono cases. Anyone got experience with their products?

flip case increases the chance of dropping your phone 1000x

>Zenfone 6 has been out for over 3 weeks now
>STILL no fucking battery test on it

I just want to confirm is really is gonna be 2-3 day battery before I reserve myself to dropping ASAP at launch.

Also why the FUCK is the customization for the google assist button so restrictive that you can't assign it to apps? What is the point?

Hello As*s shill have you remembered to dilate today?

>flipcase
Why?

Show me your phone blender renders faggots

see
The gsmarena review is out

To better protect the screen? I jumped in posting without reading the thread. Surely flipcases are not a meme and protect the screen at least.

Does OP not make them directly anymore? Their OP5 one is great.

if you're a phone back connoisseur i'm assuming you're not going to put a case on it?
because even a clear case fucks with the refraction visual effects and dulls them

Coping poorfag.
