Huawei P30 Pro or iPhone Xs max? Constant phone calls, emails, texts, Bluetooth on with music streaming daily

get the black, the others are very childish looking color in person.

the best battery.

honestly, if money isn't an issue, the XS Max will probably be the more reliable choice, especially if you plan on keeping it a bit longer

XS Max, really. iphone just werks if you're gonna use it for just that and it'll werk longer.

What are some good live wallpapers? I'm currently using hex shader/shaders live

FUCKING CHINKS

The one not designed for women and homosexuals.

so you're saying he should get a 3310?

Thoughts on this one?

Kinda curious because of the big battery and small screen.

Noted
Ended up getting the Aquos xx3/Sh-04H instead
Weirdly, the PayPal made me pay more than the price of the listing, anyone else had this issue with PayPal before where their conversion rate is different than the site's?

You mean the CC9e?
Seems like almost the perfect phone for me
not too large, OLED screen with 720p is absolutely sufficient for me and should be great for battery life with the 4000mAh battery, the processor is 11nm and should be more efficient too
also it has a headphone jack
if it really will be rebranded with Android One as the Mi A3 Lite I'll definitely get it

/spg/, how important is an OLED screen to you? mix 2s seems almost perfect for me except for the LCD screen, but i don't remember if any of my old phones had one. how much of a difference does it make?

I bought an a50 recently with a super AMOLED screen after spending generations with the LCD screen

For me it's not important but I'm not gonna lie, it just looks better to me and I like reading shit on it. I've been looking for some wallpapers worth using on it.

xs max has shitty intel modems with inferior reception other than that it's pretty good

Remember when there were phones with Intel Atom CPUs?

I WANT A HEADPHONE JACK FUCK BLUETOOTH AND FUCK USB-C HEADPHONES WHY THE FUCK DID THE STINKY JEW TAKE MY HEADPHONE JACK

I want a phone camera with a sensor larger than 1/2.3" and the Panasonic CM1 is too damn rare and expensive.

yep, had muh Zenfone 2 4/64 running CyanogenMod, shit was so cash except for the battery life

Buy a Samsung™ Galaxy™ S10™. It's got everything you could want from a phone.

Anyone else here have a smartphone tracking service? How accurate are they, do they just give a general location or can they be pinpoint accurate?

can go with any PH carrier
>most wanted feature
something that can play games but has a sustainable if not large battery capacity(I know its counterintuitive) and decent memory size+sd card slot
>budget
around $400, can go for $450+
The sd card slot cam be disregarded, and I was thinking of getting Mi9 if not OP7
what do you think?

I'm looking for a new phone to replace my OnePlus X.

Country: Canada
Carrier: Telus
Budget: Up to CAD$400 (about US$300), but preferably around CAD$300

Things it needs:
A large battery (4000mAh+)
A micro SD slot (or 128GB minimum internal storage, but I'd rather use an SD card).
Must be rootable without being awful to do so
3.5mm audio jack

Things I really want:
AMOLED/OLED/whatever screen
5GHz wifi support
USB OTG support
Android 8+ (can be something like LineageOS)
No notch or anything like that
Hardware buttons

Things that would just be nice:
Reverse charging support
Released within the last year or two
Fast charging
Amazon Prime shipping (Amazon.ca specifically)
9:16 screen, around 5 inches

My current pick is the Xiaomi Mi Max 3, at CAD$299

A3 when
Fuck
I legit need it now

>tfw just got OP7 Pro
Holy shit, where has this brand been all my life? It's so refreshing having an android phone without samshit bloatware.

I wanted to get a blackberry keytwo, was waiting for the price to go down, but after a year it's stagnant. doesn't seem like they are going to be making any more similar either. the LE version does't let you scroll using they keyboard.

Stop settling for shitty overpriced phones without headphone jacks then.

Always if small is a flat small cuboid shape of 6" or so. Sturdy (or even ruggedized) also has always existed at somewhere around these dimensions. If your local market doesn't have the respective devices, get them from China.

New phones are so stale with the same design. I don't even bother looking for upgrades anymore. They reached the point of commodities where you only have to choose from low to high end. Everything else is the same.

Absolutely loved the form factor of the 4s, anyone know others like it?

If you're looking for a small phone, S10E or Pixel 3a.

is OLED really a meme?

>6" phones are now """""small""""
The s10e, a """"compact""""" phone, is literally bigger than the SII

Small yes but also with the same brick shape. I don't like curved edges.
Might consider the S10E if I can't find anything else so thanks.

it's the fucking biggest meme
>prone to burn-in
>more expensive
>uses more power on ever color except black
>expensive to replace
it's literally planned obsolescence

As long as it lasts beyond 4 years that's fine for me.

it's literally not worth it

Quick, give me the best 450$ phone. I need that it's available on Amazon.

My Keyone is in a bootloop and I'm afraid it may brick itself. What's a cheap cheap phone I can get to replace it? It can be second hand

Xiaomi Mi 9

In Canada, with Freedom

Looking at the Pixel 3a as a replacement.

I like its size, camera seems good, price point is where I want it.

I don't do much on my phone anyway, watch a lot of YouTube so screen size is pretty important. Wouldn't get something bigger than the 3a XL

Was thinking about playing DotA Underlords on my phone, if the new one can handle it.

Any other phones in this range I should look for?

Oh, also, I need the headphone jack.

Storage isn't a factor

Umidigi F1 Play

Attached: f1_red.png (472x578, 95K)

yeah it kinda sucks cause that 64gb is a great price

Guys why did Samsung abandon the Edge aesthetics on their phone? It really stood out from other phones and looked appealing like RAZR

Attached: 1511452947472.jpg (699x699, 29K)

Ignoring the price difference, is this better/worse than the Pixel 3a if I'm using it to watch YouTube, play small games, and take pictures for snapchat and stuff

Alright, watched and read some stuff about this phone.

Why is it so cheap? Seems to be a lot better than things in its bracket.

it's about the same, except for maybe the pictures with Snapchat
it's cheap because
>they have no marketing budget
>they make the phones in batches so low overhead
>the designs are borrowed so they don't really need an R&D department
>pretty much the only technical staff they have is software

>just want a phone with a headphone jack, microSD slot, and a variety of quality ROM support
>if I want a current phone that covers all this, then I'm forced to buy something like an Xperia XA2 and pay premium for meme shit like a fingerprint sensor, 4K 120 FPS video recording, SteadyShot™ selfie camera, 1080p screen, and some fucking power hungry CPU so gen-Z wankers can play fortnite on it
Modern smartphones suck. Yet I don't want to risk getting screwed buying some busted 2nd hand brick. Guess I'm paying premium, then.

I'm getting the redmi note 7 soon.
Based chinks, I'm excited

which model do you guys like? I think I'm getting the blue one

Attached: chincc.jpg (810x298, 47K)

I like those colours, the non black ones look great
Thanks for the help, I ordered the F1 Play

Just look below:
Xiaomi is a good choice too.

Yo what the hell is this, thus looks great and the camera apparently it's pretty capable

Just replaced my oldass Galaxy Note 3 with Redmi Note 7. Feels great not to be fossil anymore.

Ehhh... same shit, different asshole.
Like I said, I really wouldn't mind using some ancient phone model, but I have no idea how trustworthy buying 2nd hand is.

>Ehhh... same shit, different asshole
Not really. Sony is on their way out of smartphone manufacturing and Xiaomi is the fourth manufacturer worldwide. Their cameras are notable for being very far from the competition, along with other downsides.

I need a new phone (just went swimming with my current one), budget is around $200, any recommendations?
I prefer a phone on the smaller side and don't need high performance, as I mostly just use the kindle app on my current phone.

I'm planning to buy Xiaomi Red Note 7, it's within my budget, but I'm new to phone shit
Is there anything that can compare to it within the same price range of $300? I'm mostly gonna use it for playing games as pass time and for music

>went from a Nexus 5 to a Pixel 2
>larger
>unwieldier
>slipperier
>rounded corners
>never dropped the Nexus once in five years
>already dropped the Pixel twice in a month

Fuck, why are they being so blatant about it

Realme 3 Pro, Oppo A9, ASUS Zenfone M2, LG Stylo 5 (maybe).

The RN7 costs $190

Anyone know a good phone that's within $300 -$250 that can play games and has 4GB ram?

RN7

So what's with Pocophone F1? I heard some people saying that the phone may randomly freeze/hiccup and have poor touch response, is this ever get fixed?

RN7 or Mi9?

which phone today has the best screen resolution?

I really enjoy VR porn but 1920x1080 isn't enough

Attached: this isn't bait, I'm serious.jpg (1080x1078, 102K)

They're on quite different level, Mi9 is better but more expensive and it also have NFC but lose audio jack slot, if you care about that.

S10+, OnePlus 7 Pro or P30 Pro??? I need an answer

Mi 9 SE

>which phone today has the best screen resolution?
>I really enjoy VR porn
It's a dead meme. And don't even attempt to watch it on a phone. Go blow your money on some of those bizarre head contraptions instead.

Hey, just fucking buy it.

OnePlus 7 Pro for the best screen experience money can buy. Samsung made those panels so it's legit.

Get a good case for it, it won't slip then. Quit whining.

OnePlus 7 Bro
you get top tier hardware, godly screen and most importantly excellent software and support. Fuck Huawei, it's a camera with a phone attached to it. Fuck Samsung, their software is dogshit.
