Just bought the OnePlus 7 Pro. What's a Jow Forums approved case

Seriously I can't think of another phone worth buying
>OP7P is chinee shit and it's far too big
>Samsung phones are exyshit
>everything else sucks
unless gcam is perfected on the OP7P, I'm gonna get the Pixel 3 in October.

What's your exuse for using a proprietary OS?

Supcase transparent one, it's got the looks and the protection.

best phones for drawing stuff on?
also whats the best drawing app preferably one with layers and shit.

1) I'm too retarded to install LineageOS. Last time I tried to install it on my RN3 I ended up with bootloops
2) The USB connection of my current phone is fucked, the PC doesn't recognize it, so I can't install a ROM

not every samchink is exynos
where do you live?

zs2c or mi 9 se?

shit that actually looks decent. i was thinking about getting a bunch of the oneplus official ones, i do like the look of the nylon one.

Is the sandstone oneplus case the same as the samsung alcantara ones?

My Oneplus 3T screen is starting to fall off from the top so I think it's time to get a new phone.

Any good recommendations for a phone around that tier level in Australia? Sub $500 with good battery life.

I need a good phone that has:
- audio jack
- rectangular display (no round corners)
- no notches or holes
- removable battery is a dream but I know it's impossible
- not a chinkshit
- minimal nonsense like fingerprint readers
- don't care about cameras
- being waterproof is a plus
no limit on money

Pocophone with lineage.

>op7 is chinee shit
>implying every phone isn't chinee in some way shape or form
Correct about samsung though, I've had samsungs since the s4 (6 and 8) but im switching to Oneplus now because im done with exynos's absolutely shit battery life

iirc only americucks get snapdragon

I don't think there are any options for key2 le

Probably a galaxy note something, they have actual wacom digitizers.

nope
I live in [spoiler]hueland[/spoiler] and my s9+ got the sd

>zs2c
you mean XZ2C?
depends how expensive both are
XZ2C is waterproof, considerably smaller, arguably better UI, Mi 9 SE has a much bigger display, smaller bezels, and an OLED display as opposed to the IPS display of the Xperia

LG V20 should do the job, don't think it's waterproof though

Note 9 if you like big phones, Xperia XZ2 Compact if you like small phones, S9 if you like medium sized phones

*XZ2 Compact doesn't have an audio jack, so that falls out I guess

thanks I'll look into these

XZ1C has a jack and all

Are you asking if sandstone is the same as alcantara?

Mi A3 + Mi A3 Lite FUCKING WHEN?????!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!

I'm waiting too

Is that Pixel shit really worth it? My Moto G3 is really showing its age.

i guess?

only if you want a great camera at a somewhat low price
if you're looking for the whole package you get much more for your money buying Xiaomi phones

Nah, I don't really care about camera at all. Which Xiaomi do you recommend?

>buying a pixel

Attached: pixel_3_xl_bigger_notch_long-100776124-large[1].jpg (699x466, 30K)

Redmi Note 7
if you want a bit of a smaller phone Mi 9 SE

I have an iPhone X but really want a pixel 3a.

I just want a comfy, plastic throwaway phone.

>notch

wait a bit and grab the k20/mi9t pro

I don't see the problem since this isn't iShit and you can just disable the screen around it. It's not like a notchless phone would be any different tho

>I have an iPhone X

Attached: 1560172231.jpg (750x1000, 86K)

just buy pay-as-you-go sim cards for each network you want to test

iphone x is good
only the xr is trash

Also forgot to ask my weeaboo brother wants a phone made in japan. Are there any decent xperias still made there or was it all outsourced to chinks?

Xperia XZ2 Compact is good

Seething andreet poorfag

*dk if it's made in Japan tho, probably not

Global K20 launch tomorrow, with all the important bands.

when is mi9t pro being released?

...

Would you buy a refurbished A grade Samshit Note 8 for $500?

no

Can ya'll give me a /rundown/ of the new K20 or mi9t or whatever it's called

Why is it being so hyped

What so good about it

I want to buy a future proof (5G) phone, but here in Russia I haven't seen much choice. I'm also confused, shouldn't S10 and 1+ 7 Pro be already 5G? What do.

>OnePlus 7 Pro (12GB RAM, 256GB, Nebula Blue)
>$1,549

Sigh

You should do adb logcat and look for exceptions.

They sell new Note 8s for lower than that at my end, just fuck off.

Triple cameras, pop up selfie camera, AMOLED screen, SD855, all this for a steal
$834 here brah, you want one?

My phone is faster and more expensive than yours. Cry me a river, iFag.

>wanting someone's sloppy seconds phone
Y I K E S

mi9t pro is the same phone as k20 right? the difference is just the name?

>absolutely no one talking about the OP7 anymore
what a blunder

what country?
also what do you need 12GB for

>inb4 what would u need more than 64KB meme

The name and international bands.

thanks
here, have a keanu

thank you for reminding me why i had to fork out extra for the oneplus instead of the k20 (k20 is missing crucial telstra bands >:(

Heya guys i need to unlock my sim locked phone is there a resource i can take a look at on how to do it all i get with google are scam sites.

onecuck

Rude

What's the battery like tho

hey that's the guy from the cyberpunk game

>look guize i said the c word

u mad onecuck?

which phone?

hardly, i get oxygen OS

Why do phones cost so much? They shouldn't cost more than $500.

Anyone else waiting on the Mi Max 4 Pro?
I just hope there's some sort of custom ROM support though XiaomiEU will always have one right?

Samsung SM-500FU

Here's my options:
* Buy the Galaxy S10+ 512GB now for $640 total (employee discount site price)
* Wait for the Note 10 in August
* Buy a Oneplus 7 Pro now and escape Samsung entirely

I like my Note 8's stylus tho

is your current phone the note 8?

$640 is unbelievable, that's insane. In my country the s10e goes for $680. Just get it, eyes closed. Black out the notch and it's perfect. Fuck the stylus

Xiaomi 9T Pro.

are you stuck with exynos?

From last thread:
I'm moving to the boonies (WV) in a couple of months, and it's really hard to tell from coverage maps whether my property sits on a 4G or 4G LTE area. Is there any way for me to test which carrier is best without borrowing phones from people who have different carriers and testing download speeds on each one?

Yes
Well it's $940 and the site is doing 30x "points" which is essentially 30% off anything on the official Samsung site. I also get a free DeX cable, a year of YT Premium and a charger stand if I order today
No, I live in the US

keep the Note 8 and save the money, it's a perfectly modern phone

Yeah but you need to pay some who knows what website and hope you get what you payed for?

oh okay, if you had said yes then id definitely get the oneplus. sorry i cant help

Any new bug found on the oneplus 7 pro besides the nfc causing ghost touch? I saw a review saying some phones randomly died, but didn't found anything about it.

Attached: 1541664897554.jpg (1280x720, 140K)

s10+ is THE phone right now and the price seems really good, but august is just around the corner and you probably will be able to get a nice discount on note10
the styllus is fucking based also the design on note10 is amazing

Yeah I might as well just wait
I can afford to upgrade every two years in my budget

>Country
Germany
>Budget
300-400euros
>Size
Prefer smaller but not a big deal
>Features
Dual SIM, good camera, good battery life

Im struggling to find something decent with dual sim. I would prefer not a chinkphone but if thats the best in the range then whatever
What are some good choices?

this:
note 8 is still a great phone, i would wait until next years new phones, unless you really need the update
although isn’t note 8 gonna get android pie?

see

s10e

Mi 9 SE, S10e (kostet aber 500€), Xperia XZ2 Compact

Dont see it on amazon or aliexpress
Thats 530 here not withing my budget unfortunately

>Don't see it on Amazon or aliexpress
because it's launching tomorrow

I can't be the only one who prefers having a notch over those stupid as flip/pop-up cameras, right?

I'd be embarrassed to use face unlock in public with a phone like this, lmao

I got 3 so far. Official sandstone protective, kugi soft tpu, and Spigen rugged. The kugi is my favorite so far. I was gonna order the official nylon or carbon bumper but I heard they have no lip.
