Any of you boys still use a Boomerberry 10 phone? How is it treating you? I'm tempted to buy a used Passport SE because I can get a good deal on one. I'd mostly just use it for sending messages, taking notes, and listened to music on the train.

What's the story with the XA2? I can get the Ultra variant for like 150 and it seems good and it has lineage? What's the catch with Sony phones other than their expensive launch prices

Reposting in the new thread
Country: Germany Carrier: o2 Budget: 500€ (I prefer it to pay less, although i could pay more if a phone really convinces me)
I have been using my One Plus 3 for three years now, and recently the camera began to have a problem focusing, on top of that the phone sometimes kind of freezes/becomes unresponsive until i lock it again and the touchscreen at the bottom part of the phone has become unresponsive/picks up the wrong input.
I really liked the phone, and up until now it has worked flawlessly even though it has been used extensively by me.
I am aware of the existing magnet camera fix and will attempt to to try it out soon, although that wont fix any of my other problems.
Therefore i am looking for a new phone, perhaps something similar to it, i considered buying a new One Plus phone, but the fact that they raised their price that much kind of put me off.
What i look for in my new phone:
1. It has to be Dual-sim 2. Preferably a good bang for my buck Other than that it has to have a good camera, be fast, and durable.
I looked at the Redmi k20 Pro and find it really interesting, although im kind of sceptic if it will work properly in germany and is readily avaible etc.
I also found some LG phones interesting, especially the v40 ThinQ and the new LG G8s do you have any other recommendations?
K20 Pro if you want the best value, LTE doesn't work tho afaik Mi 9T is a bit less powerful than the K20 Pro but otherwise the same phone, and does work with German LTE both come with MIUI tho so keep that in mind, not as nice as the clean Android from your previous OnePlus

I still have my classic which was given to me as a work phone. I've upgraded since then but they don't require you to give the phones back so I've kept the classic on my work sim and my P20 Pro as my personal. For work BB10 is perfect. It does everything I need it to do, which is basically just be a communications hub when I'm not at my desk and browsing the web. You can listen to music on it just fine. At the time I got my classic my boss had a passport and from my limited use of it, it was a great phone for productivity. I probably would have swapped my classic for it if given the chance. The keyboard isn't as great as the classic, but if you want the bigger screen it's the best of the two.
Hudson Evans
Xiaomi a2 or Sony xa2? Or anything better without a notch and excessively round corners?
Isaac Cruz
3a vs 3a XL? I like the 3a's form factor, but the XL has that battery.
Nathan Lewis
Just live with rounded corners. Get a OnePlus 7
Carson Ross
Whatever
Nathan Gomez
Is an XR for $500 a good price?
Nicholas Green
Does not exist, now stop trolling.
Daniel Lee
Why not get a OnePlus 7 instead retard? It's infinitely better.
Carson Thomas
sure it does in some form you douchebag even if that form is a tablet PC which is fine for this thread as a discussion. you jannie wannabe cunt
Still can't find a wider phone than my Mi Mix 1. Just want something as wide making screens longer just fucks up the comparisons. I'd just buy another but the ear speaker idea they had was trash and feel like upgrading.
I need the width for reading and absolutely do not want to carry multiple devices so need the biggest I can possibly fit in my pocket while working with verizon's 4g bands and volte
Parker Walker
I just want a new phone for cheap with good specs that isn't chinked. Zenfone 6 gives me that, I want it, my current phone can't get longer than 1 hour SOT, and the fact that the other variants have been out for almost 3 months pisses me off to no end
Eli Clark
requesting purchase advise.
Need: androind, dual-sim, waterproof, very good camera, long battery life, bonus if 5G.
carrier-free and should work around the world (carrently in south africa but gonna be moving a lot)
budget not a primary concern.
pic related, shitty camera of the phone i wanna change
>and accept an external mouse and keyboard I think only a gaming phone has any chance of doing that. Maybe Asus ROG Phone 2 but don't quote me on that.
Jason Bennett

Justin Robinson

Jason Watson
Like 99% of Android phones support Bluetooth mice and keyboard, any Android phone with USB OTG support (which is most of them but not all) will also accept wired mice and keyboards.
Michael Adams
>waterproof, very good camera, long battery life Top of the line Samsungs and Pixels. Huawei P30 Pro.
Chase Gutierrez
I do already but it usually doesn't work for textbooks and making phones longer doesn't help regular novels at all.
Anthony Roberts
Is hyperion launcher worth paying for?
Jonathan Sanders
Pony up for one of these bad boys that are at least 78mm wide
Get a Nexus 6 just for the reading part. Wide plus 1440, OnePlus screens in comparison are a joke (3,5,6,6T) Bonus: speakers
Jace Lee
Does the Redmi Note 7 work well on T-Mobile USA LTE?
Nathan Harris
i'm amazed anyone would recommend nexus 6 or 6P considering that phone has terrible battery problems due to the quick charger wrecking it.
i've bought 3 nexus 6 second hand over the past 2 or 3 years just trying them out (returned them all obviously) and they each had the exact same problem where the battery/phone would randomly die at like 10 to 20%. the battery would randomly report 0% and shut off. it was able to turn back on but it was a constant problem. there was even a class action lawsuit for the 6P because of this...
Lucas Johnson
6P problems The 6 had notorious usb port and yes the battery life wasn't the best (@purenexus) Mine has 1900mah left, barely 1.5h sot
Dylan Harris
Only the Mate 20x is as wide but is a bit longer which isn't that useful. No way in hell am I paying the premium for a foldable to break after a few months of heavy use
I was looking at one but for a 16:9 6" I would rather the oppo r9s plus because it has buttons on the bottom
Brandon Flores
I used Samsung smart switch to transfer apps from my old phone to my new one however it seems that the apps can't be updated from Google play after this. Is there any way to fix this other than redownloading everything from Google play?
Owen Rogers
Can I have a quick rundown on the Redmi Note 7? Looking for something to replace my broken Moto G6 Plus and this keeps appearing. Where should I buy it from if I'm in the UK, AliExpress, Amazon, Mi Store? Is it as good as people say, price/performance? How is the support for it, if there's an issue do I ship it back to China, is there long term support for the play store?
Carter Garcia
I have almost the same question. Looking for something to replace my Galaxy Note 2. Considering either Redmi Note 7 or Mi A3, not sure.
Would it be smart to just flash LineageOS or Ressurection Remix right away if getting the Redmi Note 7?
Jeremiah Scott
No. You side loaded those apps through Samsung switch.
Evan Smith
Yes it does. I mostly have lte and 4g if not that. Reception is decent for only having 3 bands. Never been an issue for my use. I don't really stream videos though.
Julian Wright
Yes it works fine. I have mostly lte and 4g if not. I can even torrent on mobile. I don't stream videos though so it might not be the best for YouTube.
William Hill
yes, go for it
Connor Martinez
Look on the old threads retards
Noah Bailey
Question to Samsung users. Do you actually use the Samsung apps or did you replace their apps and launcher with Google's (or any other) shit?
Xavier Richardson
I never use a Samsung app I wish I could delete the shitty bloatware off this phone but it's not the international version
Jaxon Perry
My Nexus 5X died last week, and after a spot of denial, I have accepted that it has died the death of Bootloop of Death.... It shall be missed.
What phones these days are not total cancer? >Country UK, but I may move around Europe in the near future >Carrier Vodafone, I am content with their coverage. I have previously used Vodafone in Germany. >Features SIM Free/Unlocked Headphone jack 4G/LTE No Notch NFC USB-C Fingerprint Scanner Decent battery No bloatware >Budget Around that of a mid-range phone circa 2016 >Size At least a 5 inch screen, I'd be happier with larger
The simple brief is: what is most like the Nexus 5X these days?

I have a samsung s9
Isaac Hill
Some I disable, some I keep. Initially I was alright with them until I found how limited they were.
-First off, bixby is a shit assistant. Most of the things it suggests are dumb. Not in need of an assistant, so that's disabled. Bixby home is worthless and shows no relevant info either. The only thing I keep that's "bixby" is bixby routines, because it's actually pretty fucking good and you can disable everything related to bixby on adb without breaking the routines app. -Samsung Internet was initially comfortable and fast, and it syncs tabs with firefox, but it turns out it tries very hard to push samsung pass and you can't use anything other than lastpass with it because it uses a weird system for autocompletion. That one I ditched. Also samsung pass disabled, of course. -Samsung calendar and reminders only work between them. Reminders from google only work with google calendar, but at least I can manage them on PC. So I disabled the samsung ones. -The launcher could be better. I'm not sure which launcher to grab, as Nova is slower. Lawnchair is fast but it has next to no fucking features and unfortunately, you can't disable the normal launcher running in the background anyways if you use gestures to replace the navigation bar (otherwise recent apps won't work). -Mcaffee and secure wifi are obviously out of the fucking question. What the hell did Samsung smoke?
The rest works fine for me. Keyboard has a little space at the bottom and respects the theme (well, nearly every fucking samsung app respects it). What I notice though, google apps don't. Others do fine but I'm fucked out of luck, I have to set all google apps manually to dark or light themes. Also I found that the only way by which smart lock over location works well is by creating a bixby routine instead of the default google settings for it.
Angel Lopez
I've been thinking about the Pixel 3a - the other phone I liked was the Nokia 7 Plus, but it's no longer in production and hard to find new. >Note 7 Hide the notch snowflake Ewwwwww, a notch. Also, I don't want Mr Xi in my pocket.
Joshua Reyes
I have no fucking idea how to use a s9
Julian Howard
I only use the Samsung health app.
Thomas Phillips
Are you excercising or something
Hudson Flores
>tfw using a Key2 I hope they keep improving on this kind of design. Using the keyboard as a trackpad is hard to live without once you are used to it, and using each key as a shortcut on the launcher is really convenient. It's going to suck if they give up on phone development after this and nobody ends up making a successor.
Jacob Allen
Yep
Bentley Morgan
I like the stock laucher.
Isaiah Bailey
Mi A3 is too low res
Hudson Cox
Though I will say that there is one REALLY annoying flaw to the keyboard: the back/home/recents keys are not physical keys and are too easy to accidentally push when using keyboard gestures. If they were all physical keys and all had the capacitive features, it would be pretty much perfect.
Lincoln Hernandez
Mi 9T and flash a ROM

Sounds like you should stop being poor then :^)
Lucas Morris
I'm looking for a new smart phone. Previous phones were Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S7. I'm looking for something under 200$ that will be superior to the S4 and at least comparable to the S7, better if possible.
One major thing I need: It must be a secure phone, so not something with some Chinese back door in it. My phone is used for 2FA for accessing bank and crypto holdings and I don't want some chink stealing my shit somehow.
If you do the 20-80 rule, how do you leave it charging overnight? Can you set it to stop charging when it reaches 80%?
Owen Stewart
You want to prolong your battery life by only utilizing 60% of your battery?
Nolan Russell
If security is a major factor, then try BlackBerry. They're still doing their weird flavour of Android, but their security is still very good... if slow OS updates aren't a concern to you. Oh, and small screen sizes don't bother you either.
Tyler James
Everyone's always saying that's how you preserve your battery's health.
Mason Adams
its bullshit
Nathan Powell
Did I fall for another meme?
Aiden Roberts
Did you just disable those apps or did you do some root fuckery to delete them?
literally an old iPhone (SE, 6S) if iOS has the necessary apps that you use
Logan Brooks
Yeah, so you preserve your battery health so it "lasts longer". And to achieve that you only use your battery between 20-80%, thus having it last much shorter than it actually could. Where is the sense?
Matthew Gutierrez
"Lasts longer" in the sense that in a few years it'll still be able to hold a decent charge.
Carter Scott
And what exactly us the point of a battery with a decent charge if you only use 60% of it.
Zachary Nguyen
Melted corner with bezels is the new hotness
Jack Price
60% would still be enough to last you all day, and four years later it still could be if you take good care of it.
Kayden Wilson

I'm not really clued in when it comes to phones. I just compare them on GsmArena. I keep seeing the Redmi Note 7 being advertised as the best and that nothing comes close but the G7 power and Smart P 2019 are basically the same. Also the Nokia 6.1 is only 120 on Amazon but I've read reports of buggy software? The specs seemed fine though
Brayden Bell
>Also the Nokia 6.1 is only 120 on Amazon but I've read reports of buggy software? The specs seemed fine though NuNokia is pretty good on the hardware aspects. Although their current slavemasters are Chinese, HMD Global, NuNokia is at least Finland based, so... maybe less of a Chinese backdoor... NuNokia is rather infamous for buggy software though. Although they do the Android One thing, older phones like the 7 Plus were known for a lot of weird buggy interfaces and so on in the first number of months. They did get patched eventually, and many of those Nokias are great, solid phones. That all said... newer ones might still be buggy on launch, but I have no real clue.
Alexander Baker
Compared to the RN7 the G7 is lower res and worse SoC SmartP is micro usb and smaller battery Don't know if you can get it on a payment plan, but maybe the Pocophone
Justin Gutierrez
Cope, fuck batteries, I'll rape mine and it it acts around I'll get it replaced I'm not fucking poor I change phones every three years anyway so it's not like you'll diminish your battery capacity by more than 10% in three years especially with lithium polymer batteries.
Jaxon Foster
Have a Pixel 2 XL.
I am wondering if any of you have had this issue.
My phone will no longer fast charge. I have tried everything to see if it is a hardware issue with the wires but my OEM fast charger still works on other devices. However, it will not fast charge my phone anymore.
But if I plug my phone using USB A - C on my computer it will slow charge. If I plug my phone USB C - C on my power bank it will try to fast charge, and then go to a lower power state and charge normally.
Any idea what the fuck causes this? Started happening last night randomly.
