Which is the best phone for USA, $200-$300, Cricket? Size doesn't matter much. Currently using Moto G 4 Plus.

im too much of a brainlet to know if this is good or bad for us

Well. Could you?

opinion on Sony Xperia X?

Pill me on used/screen scratches smartphones.

OP7P ghost touches are fixed in the latest OxygenOS update. Big camera improvements too (check the comments for before/after comparisons):

Can't go wrong with a Sony

Get out reddit

It gon' give you to ya

>durr reddit bad

So is the camera comparable to Samsung yet?

based

nevermind i answered my own question by clicking the photo. thank fuck they fixed the softness on their photos. the softness made it look absolutely terrible

You can't be that retarded, can you?
With a Delta E of 1.5, the One Plus 7 screen has perfect colors. Eyes cannot see any differences under 3.

is there a keyboard that doesn't get angry when i try to type an i (or well, everything) in lowercase so i don't have to go back and correct it, while still allowing me to otherwise use autocorrect? blackberry keyboard is really nice but doesn't let me do this so i wanna change it

Add in low display brightness

okay this looks based
in my country the OP7P goes for as much as the S10e, which is Exyshit anyway
should I get this chinky piece of crap? There's no other phones available (Pixel 3, Note 9/S10 series, Huashit, others) that would make be feel good after buying it.

How come the Frenchie site said the Zenfone 6 has a great display?

It's just fucked how bad the Zenfone got pozzed, god damn Asus, what's the SoT on it? Anything below 12-14 hours is a joke. I have the Max Pro M1 and I get 14-16 hours, it's amazing. I was really looking forward to getting the Zenfone 6.

That one site says it fucking isn't. White is blue at 7600K (instead of natural 6500K), and the colors are far from industry standard, the default setting is a retarded vivid mode which is even worse.
But the luminosity is decent (althought definitely not on OLED levels) and contrast okay. It's an IPS panel afterall.

S10e it's better and more reliable

It's holeshit and we get exynos here, like I said. And it costs as much as the OP7P while having worse hardware all around. Just no

>Pixel phone with worse sensor and lower end SoC takes better photos compared to gcam on the ChinkPlus 7 Pro with a top of the line SoC and the latest, greatest camera sensor
gcam cocksuckers who claimed gcam 100% bridges the gap between non Pixel phone cameras and Pixel cameras ETERNALLY BTFO
I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING HEAR IT

Attached: Chinkshit btfo.png (2160x1080, 856K)

Camera sensors are a total goddamn meme. The details on the gcam IMX586 with OIS are much worse than the details on whatever shit sensor they have on the 3a XL. JUST FUCK

Your Pixels are Chinese as well genius and OnePlus has been known to have lackluster cameras from the start.

You know EXACTLY what I FUCKING mean, dipshit. Losers here would run and screen that the Pocophone, the Mi 9, all these chinee phones just destroyed the Pixel camera thanks to gcam and superior/similar sensors
WELL GUESS WHAT, THAT AIN'T THE CASE
fucking faggots, at least say it vastly improves the camera compared to stock, don't be a tit who says it bests the Pixels themselves. Fucking lying chinky scum

Why are you so mad? I didn't defend any manufacturer or anything.

oh alright then, I'm just mad because I got taken for a ride. Never again will I believe chinky claims.

how do I get my gcam working on my s9+? night and portrait mode doesnt work

My old phone is an LG. Based on your advice I obtained a Xiaomi Pocophone some time ago. Since the LG barely works anymore, I want to finally switch to the Pocophone.

How should I transfer all the data and everything? What way do you recommend?

You're not a burger, right? Gcam doesn't work that well on Exynos I think.

mine is the snapdragon version

Well shit, keep trying different versions.

Why does the OnePlus 7 Pro look so ugly and chinky? Doesn't look like a premium, expensive phone at all.

desu I still think that under the screen cameras still have a long way to go
it may be possible to take photos like those chinks teased the videos but the quality doesnt seem that great.
diglet cameras will still be a thing this and the next year

becouse its not

Try this one:
celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog417/

Should I get the Pixel 4 XL? I can just blank out the pillnotch. It's a better phone than the Pixel 3, for once Google has 6gb memory on board a Pixel phone.

which Gcam mod do you guys use on the Mi Mix 2s? the majority use one of the San1ty mods, but which one have bring you better results? im using the 6.1 v5a + the xml configs. But I haven't tried the 6.2 version yet to compare. Any experiences?

Also, its true that the Pocophone + gcam its better than the Mi mix 2s + gcam?

Rumors, and renders claim that the Samsung Note 10's will have a fucking hole punch, and no headphone jack.
It's fucking over for Samshit.

>those bezels
>that back
hnnnng
so aesthetic, hole punch aside

I imagine the Note 11 or Note 12 will be worth it, when they get in display cameras. But seriously fuck Samsung for pozzing their phones with Exynos.

Well at least it's not a notch
>Them bezels
Dayyyyymmmmm

which chink sites are safe to buy from? redmi 7 is $99 on gearbest but i've read bad shit about them

It's just a render, so the real product will have goofy bezels, annoying as fuck curves, and a fucking hole punch.
Samsung really needs to stop pretending that they're a premium product manufacturer already. The gooks went full chinkmode with their designs.

I bought from banggood before, and it was a surprisingly pleasant experience (but the delivery was insanely a month long).

Just got a Redmi note 7 cause my RN3P suddenly won't get a signal. Anything I'll need to know for a start?

Root, and install a custom ROM?

Wrong.

How's the custom rom for the redmi note 7? Anything good?

Now I regret listening to /spg/ and buying the Pocophone. I should have just bought a Samsung. Maybe more expensive but at least I wouldn't have to deal with setting up this shit. I am already trying for hours to transfer the data. Mi Mover doesn't exist anymore. Mi Drop is a pile of shit that worked for a few minutes but in the middle of the transfer stopped working forever. Other ways failed as well. Now I have to manually drag and drop the data I want to keep. And since Google Sync fails too, I have to reconfigure all my apps.

Maybe Apple is better than Android after all.

The joys of switching phone. LG4 was by far the best phone I ever had. Except for the fact that they always stop working after 1-2 years. If only they lasted forever, I would still use my LG4 in 10 years.

Copy your files to your SD card, simple. Download them all az zip through AirDroid or something and extract.
>hurdur I don't know how to do this, the phone sucks
Come on.

>adjusts white balance
Wow, was that so hard?

Files like music aren't the problem.

I wanted to blow my brains out transferring music to my OP6. USB C 2.0 ports were a mistake.
Also RIP your G4. I loved my Nexus 6P and would have kept that phone if the batteries didn't shit the bed after two years.

The thing is I can work with a hole in a corner. Makes the while screen look like you could attach it to a keychain.
But that Cyclops shit? Never.
Also why would the Note 10 only have 1 front camera when the S10+ has two? Why no jack when the S10s have one? Makes no sense to have less features given the expected price.

Pixel homescreen is comfy af

That looks so impractical with zero bezels. How the fuck you supposed to hold and not touch everything? The hole punch in the middle is fucking awful too.

Samsung is pulling an apple when it comes to ugly phones.

How is the LG V35? I'm on Cricket and the phone is like $350. Seems like a good deal, no?

No. It's UGLY
You can't even get rid of the search bar

What about the rattling and shit SoT?

Are sony phones good?
I'm thinking about getting the xperia 10.

Who else keeps their phone displays at full coolness? I only use warmer tones on my PC monitor.

>rattling
Too soon to say if this is a widespread problem or if it's just a couple of idiots who fucked with the camera.
>shit SoT
Where the fuck are people getting this from? Every review I've seen says they get 13 hours SoT.

Are you stupid? It's the worst non chink phone brand on the market. The worst, bar none. Worse than most chinkphones too.

What is this notion that people can only be on one website, that you're either team reddit or team Jow Forums? There are pros and cons to both sites, and I've been using both for like 10 years. Unless you're an edgy 15 year old desperately trying to fit into chan culture by shitting on reddit, you'd realize this and stop being an obnoxious fuck about it.
Almost half of Jow Forums users are redditors. If that makes you upset then you need to re-evaluate yourself.

Idk some faggots earlier said the SoT was shit, the camera rattled a lot. 13 hours is great with an SD855. Idk what these cunts are about, looks like chink propaganda.

>Xiaomi 9T Pro (K20 Pro Global) confirmed
FUCKING FINALLY

Yeah we knew this already, the big question is what bands will it get?

>Yeah we knew this already
no we didn't

The OP7P GCam port will get better, the dev (ArnovaG82) only just started working on a dedicated port very recently. So far everyone has just been using the Mi9 GCam port.

Overpriced. On par with Nokia but Nokia uses android one so is instantly better.

I use the search bar but using the grip more as the assistant is handy but always have ok Google off.

>Also, its true that the Pocophone + gcam its better than the Mi mix 2s + gcam?
nah, Mix 2s should be better since it has OIS.

Gearbest is fine as long as you use Paypal to pay

Any idea on when the Xiaomi Mi 9t is gonna come out? I'm looking for a phone, but I kind of need one really soon.

He's an idiot trying to fit in.
Not following your phone's subreddit is asking to get news late on every shit that happens, like updates that mess-up and got pulled away.
Always have a throwaway account for shit like this, because you know they will race for karma and post infos as fast as possible.

Any reviews of the Xperia 1 camera? Had high hopes after they teamed with alpha. Really like the design and screen but Xperia cameras have always been a little underwhelming.

Next week.

CHINK COPE

Are you nuts? Fuck that longcat piece of crap. No option for gcam, stock cameras are garbage, literally took them dozens of flagships to get OIS on their cameras what a fucking joke, also lol at the 3300mAh battery on a permanently 4k display.

Dude they make global versions of every xiaomi phone, you'd have to be retarded to think they wouldn't make a global version of that one.

Point is, it's true that we still don't know what bands it'll get. Plenty of global versions without american bands, or with partial american bands

Lowkey I think Huawei's OS is going to shit all over android. Android is such a trash OS that is crazy demanding on hardware. Huawei's OS couldn't be worse, and I predict it'll shit all over android. Problem is it has to be compatible with android apps because no developer is going to want to make apps for a blacklisted single company

why does the Pocophone have a better antutu score than the Mi Mix 2s if both share the same cpu/gpu/ram? Also, anyone knows if Antutu scores are affected by the SO? I mean, what if I use xiaomi.eu instead of Miui 10 as a benchmark?

and for last, does the gcam uses the OIS of the Mi Mix 2s? or this option its only supported by the stock app?

>Dude they make global versions of every xiaomi phone
Not with Redmi Note 7 Pro, they didn't. Same thing with Mi8 SE, no Global version.

sorry every relevant xiaomi phone, and the majority of non-relevant phones

RN7P is relevant though, it's the current top Redmi Note phone, their best selling series.

it's not relevant.

>their best selling model
>not relevant
okay then

note 7 is their best selling model, not note 7 pro. jackass

I'm getting the Pixel 4 XL in October, change my mind.

oneplus 7 pro is the only US notchless phone available atm right?

Best phone to buy if I'm a poo in loo who wants to be white???

pixel 2 off of ebay.

I'm talking about the Redmi Note 7 series, of which Note 7 Pro is the top spec model, get it?
(You)
>note 7 is their best selling model, not note 7 pro
You have the sales figures to back up that claim? All the sales numbers I can find are for the "Redmi Note 7 series", ie. RN7 + RN7P combined sales.


>Dude they make global versions of every xiaomi phone
>they don't
>well uh.. I meant only the relevant ones! (oh, and I choose which models are relevant and which ones aren't)
Just admit you were wrong, instead of moving goalposts ok?

you're the only one moving goalposts, fucktard cunt
