Best phone to buy if I want to compensate for being ugly and obese?

I have a p20 pro, small damage in the screen but still totally usable.
Kinda want something new and more powerful, kinda want to move away from Huawei.
I'm not gonna get something worse for $300 just because it's good value. I especially like its camera and will not take any downgrade. I was thinking of waiting for the Pixel 4 in a few months just for the camera.
What would you recommend? Budget is like $1300 but the cheaper the better.

Someone tell me what's wrong with the Note 10, I'm not caught up.

In addition to the cyclops hole in the display, this:
androidpolice.com/2019/05/30/rumor-galaxy-note-10-wont-have-headphone-jack-or-volume-and-power-keys/

well, the rumors say no 3.5 connector and no physical buttons

I was ugly and obese like you once. Then I bought a Pocophone and look at me now!

So
Euroland
250 USD/Euro
Efficient for emulation, headphone jack and long battery life
Can be big like a brick.
Are there any clear winners in this category?

used s8 or redmi note 7 chink phone

Redmi Note 7, Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1/2. If you can stretch your budget a little or don't mind ordering from China then Pocophone would be the clear winner:
kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-pocophone-f1

Are there any inherit problems with Pocophones?
I never seen anyone use them around me.

no NFC

Pajeets and yuropoors use them, no wonder you didn't see it

Not really, other than the large notch and no NFC. All the issues that were initially reported (touch latency, screen bleed, no widevine L1) have been fixed.

What would you get from these:
>Note 9 Exynos
>Zenfone 6
>Pixel 3
I'd get the Zenfone but the display stuff scares me, and the camera lacks OIS which is a joke since it's a flagship.

Pixel 3

Redmi K20 Pro

Reminder Chad uses a Pixel.

zenfone > pixlel > exyshit
note is aesthetic and all but buying the exynos cpu is willingly letting samgoy rape you

>asus one has no notch
Suspicious, why they would not jump on this stupid fad?
Do they have other issues?
Weird, I'm a slav and I see only Huawei and Redmi around.
Even in stores I saw only one in display.

Based and redpilled!

What's the best phone for sheer battery life and expandable storage without taking out a mortgage? Note 8 owner currently.

>no physical buttons

How the fuck does that even work? How would you turn it on?

Zenfone 6

Should I buy a OnePlus 7 or wait for the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro to be available in the EU?

>asus one has no notch
>Suspicious, why they would not jump on this stupid fad?
The Pro M1 came out in early 2018, it's from before the fad started to put the notch even in budget-tier devices. See also Redmi Note 5.

I’d wait for the K20 if hardware specs and value are your biggest concerns. But if software if anything you care about get the OP7 as miui is garbage so you’d need to wait for something to flash it with.

Fuck. Zenfone it is, then.

I got a mate 20 x to replace my note 8 but part of me thinks its not worth the 600 bux and i should just return it and keep the note 8

Idk

Capacitive buttons like on the HTC U12

return it

USA/T-mobile
$300
OLED display
SD card slot
5.5" max screen size
Android

Is the oneplus7 pro camera good? heard mixed stuff about it desu, should i just go for an s10?

NFC is for NPC

Doesn't exist.

With gcam its great. Why would you want to buy holeshit? Get the OnePlus 7 Pro.

true, but some people don't have a debit card apparently
they didn't include it to cut costs because chinks use QR codes for contactless payments

I feel like I explained this in the last thread.
A lot of people have multiple expense accounts that they like to use in a digital wallet for security, with only a physical card for emergencies where it's impossible to use NFC.
Even ATMs use NFC now.

There are also many convenient ways to use NFC stickers to perform tasks.

Cashlets when will you learn

I'd pay with cash more often if we had cash rounding
collecting pennies is retarded

There's nothing good available with those exact specs, these are the closest:

Hey benis :dddd

Zenfone 6 has a low quality lcd right?

Yeah, it's a budget-tier display, no way around it.

Should i get an Xiaomi 4a soon as it's out in the EU? i don't have much money but i have read the specs are akin to redmi 6 pro but with a better battery capacity, so it will be enough for shit like FGO and anything else?

Attached: 1557472228503.gif (100x100, 16K)

cash is play money designed to make you spend more.

2GB RAM in 2019 is really tight
you may have problems running games on it

>Xiaomi 4a
do you mean Redmi 7a?

Consider S10e

Yeah my bad

Shit screen tho

touch buttons or pressure

Battery capacity means shit with SD4xx.
I had Redmi 4A (SD425 iirc) with 3000mah and it only gives 8—10 hrs of shitposting. Now I have Redmi 7 (SD632 iirc) with only 1000mah more BUT it gives 20 hrs of shitposting.
Just wait for sale coupons on Ali and get Redmi 7 3/32. I got mine for $104 month ago with Ramadan Sale $15 coupon.

>Battery capacity means shit with SD4xx.
SD400-series aren't inherently power inefficient. The SD425 is an ancient 28nm SoC, whereas the SD632 is 14nm and the SD439 is 12nm, so if anything, the SD439 will give better battery life than SD632 with the same battery capacity. The SD439 is pretty weak tho, so I wouldn't get it for gaming.

>every single new chink phone has full bezeless screen
>guys, let's keep the punch hole because we already spent a lot making this "tech", even if it looks outdated as fuck
The state of samshit

why the fuck are phones so shitty now?

Attached: 1501416040354.png (729x540, 255K)

everyone is copying apple
apple phones are shit, therefore copies of apple phones are shit

Much like applefags people think the hole punch is a design statement and shows you own a samsung, they know this hence why they will stick to it.

Plus as soon as you start to follow trends set by chinkshit you give them more credit and become the follower not the setter.

So what do I get to avoid the shitty market trends?
I've always liked the Moto G5 and the OnePlus 5

probably some poorfag phone
if you want a flagship you're out of luck

Real talk though, is this considered "beautiful"? Because this guy's build is fuckugly to me

because it's shooped to h*ck for a meme, irl that guy probably looks "beautiful"

Attached: 1559294482185.png (962x720, 555K)

not really, the joke is that it's supposed to be peak physical performance when it's actually grotesque

Xperia 1c when

it's not real user

man the huawei galaxy note p10 looks great

Anyone else have problems with Xiaomi FM Radio? It has shit reception even on a station that has great signal everywhere in the country
Would getting different headphones help?

It works for Apple because they are a luxury brand. Samsung is just another android phone, people don't buy Samsung because it's a Samsung (there are cheap phones and expensive phones), but because of the features and the wow factor

Should i buy the motorola oneaction/onevision to replace my shitting in the bed samsung galaxy j3(2016)(my j3's os is andoroid 5)?
what phone would be a good replacement?
because i'm making a huge jump in os's
my budget is £260

Redmi Note 7 or Pocophone F1

Who here already got the Android 9 update for RN5 Pro? How's the battery life?

What's the best browser app? I'm using Brave.

>Mid level processor

Why are people some people paying $800+ for phones? Also at $250 and it has an OLED meanwhile Anus chose a shitty LCD for their phone.
tomsguide.com/us/meizu-16xs-specs-price,news-30211.html

I use kiwi though 99% of the reason is because of the inbuilt night mode and ad blocking.

samsung galaxy a50

sorry, i thought you needed a phone

Attached: 1553790335171.jpg (540x614, 63K)

What’s is the android equivalent to the iPhone SE? I want a small phone with a good camera

Sony XZ1/XZ2 Compact

Fucking shit. It was almost perfect. Why does this always happen? they should know better for 500 bucks

Anyone have an alternative? Big battery, Quality lcd/oled, headphone jack, microsd slot with 855 snapdragon and near stock OS? I can drop the SD slot if they have a big memory model. Budget is 500-700 will mostly use for gayming

But the kicker is I need US bands so i know that limits it

Nubia Red Magic 3?

whats the best (relatively cheap) option now for someone in his 50s, with not much experience with touchscreen smartphones?

Is a phone with a metal case and no notch too much to ask for in 2019? Everything's made out of glass or plastic and lacks really basic shit, like a bright LED indicator or a 3.5mm jack.

Is there a Sim card to micro SD card adaptor?
i might buy that if get an redmi k20 because i heard it has no micro sd slot.

Attached: icey bloo phone.jpg (727x454, 87K)

no, it doesn't work like that.

Wasn't it literally the same with the S10? Every single retard early leak had "no headphone jack" since the S8.
I'm sure Samsung executives know that the headphone jack is a big thing for lots of users.

Zenfone 6

I dunno guys

I can get a Pixel 2xl second hand locally for $200 aussie dollarydoos. (like $145 freedom bux).
It does have a cracked screen as shown in pic related.
I had a similar crack in my previous phone's screen for like a year plus and it didnt bother me, as its barely visible when screen is not on pure white (he has another pic thats not pure white and it seems non visible just like what i had).
Screen can be fixed for another $200, if needed. but i'd meet the guy in person and check the phone out, likely wouldn't buy it if the crack bothers me.
Any reason not to get this? Specs wise its more than i need, camera wise i've heard nothing but good things. Hows the battery?

what do you mean? can't you just connect your phone to a computer and copy them over? or back them up to the cloud?

just syncthing your shitposts to your PC

It looks hideous.

So do you guys like the new Play Store design? It's nice but I wish they actually improved app discoverability and added a way to hide games permanently, it's near-impossible to discover new apps through the store and all the suggestions are garbage.

4000mah is pretty good anyway so its not like its bad. i had my redmi note 3 pro for near on 3 years. It was 4000mah. Even at the end its battery life was pretty darn good, lasting me a pretty high use day
Im not a fan of glass body phones desu so thats a negative for me, though so is plastic. My same redmi was a nice full metal design, thats the good shit.
In other words, idk dude but honestly i trust xiaomi to release a better product than asus

im looking for a phone that can handle 3d games, is there a phone with similar specs as the galaxy s8 without the other flagship features? I need nothing else besides performance. NFC, fingerprint readers, and other features not required. 64gb space minimum.

Oh shit, i just saw that pickle 2xl has no 3.5mm, fuck that noise.
also why a 18:9 aspect ratio, fuck that as well.
still tempted though, just be a fucking dongle user.

Pocophone. SD845 for less than $300.
