(reposting here from last thread, i was told to get the a40 which certainly seems ok but hopefully there's more interesting stuff out there?)
hey fellow phone men recc me a phone
>country eu, specifically sweden >budget € 200-500 >size smaller the better >wanted features good battery life, headphone jack, a screen with a low lowest brightness so im not facefucked at night
i would NOT mind paying a premium for some weird gimmick shit like e-ink screen, 3d scanner, microphone input, floppy drive. in fact, that's exactly what i want
I don't need to be at the latest and greatest, I'm just not sure how the iPhone SE camera is and if it's worth it to buy up for the camera. I can easily buy a 128gb SE, CDMA unlocked for 250$. So that'd save me 500$
Liam Long
Those or according to Kimovil filters, the Mi 9 SE. It's ≤150 mm (like you mentioned in the previous thread), and it's got the Snapdragon 712 and the three camera set-up.
Julian Ward
>yes it's literally just lowcost Xr2 with better processor and camera It was meant by Tim Apple that 11 is a direct replacement to Xr.
Jordan Richardson
Unironicly this
Blake Scott
SE is cool as a backup. I use mine as a dashcam and other non-essential things. Camera isn't great but not terrible either.
Adam Ramirez
Is there a reason to limit yourself to iPhones? Choosing between spending $700 or an SE several years old is not the optimal situation.
Nathan Perez
Lets see how it stacks up to the Pixel 4 and OnePlus 7T Pro, among any other real competitors. I don't want to see them cheap out though - they better support 802.11ax, wirleless Qi charging (fuck OnePlus for their grudge against wireless. Literally every other flagship has it now, it took ages for Apple to show up but at least they're not so dumb as to insist on wired chinkcharge exclusively), and reasonable (ie 8gb+) of RAM, 90hz+ displays etc...
Still more interested in Librem 5 and PinePhone IF they could update their hardware.
Jason King
Not a huge fan of Android overall and am not interested in jumping through ungoogling hassles.
Landon James
mi 9
Samuel Edwards
Alright then, the SE is fucking tiny. I use an old iPhone 4 as a dumb phone and it's a shit typing experience overall. The 4's screen is smaller by half an inch, but I don't think that improves it on the SE.
Ryder Martinez
Redmi note 7 is still the besy budget phone right? The 8 note will have mediatek and i don't wanna touch that shit
Cooper Howard
ill check these out eventually.
this looks good but sadly has no headphone jack
Jordan Phillips
Pixel 3a
John Williams
>the SE is fucking tiny true but means you can use it in one hand comfortably. also, don't expect it to be able to run iOS 13 smoothly.
Josiah Ramirez
regular 8 will have 665
Sebastian Smith
How are Sony phones for receiving software updates?
Does the Xperia 5 seem like it would be worth considering?
Adam Gomez
iOS 13 use is actually a concern, maybe I'll wait a bit and see how it performs on the SE before deciding. Leaning towards the SE at this point, but I've been using my shitty android phone for over a year so a little bit longer won't hurt I suppose.
Alexander Cook
Oh, sorry, didn't notice the lack of the jack.
I use my Redmi 5 plus with one hand easily, so I don't know. I can say without a doubt that iOS 7 on the 4 is absolutely atrocious it's way less responsive than a an actual symbian dumbphone.
The 8, obviously. Since they're very similar, you might as well get the newer camera and CPU.
Asher Ward
8 is easier to break since it has glass back
Kayden Mitchell
looking for a ~1 year old flagship phone with decent specs and cheap parts.
My LG G5 has been a total shitheap quality-wise but the parts are cheap enough that I've just been able to replace everything that shits the bed. although the GPS never worked right even after sending it back to LG. swappable battery has been great, but I don't expect it in newer phones.
Liam Davis
are there any new "smart" phones that have external keyboards and are relatively cheap (about 100-130€)?
it only has a worse screen. Everything else is better.
Nolan Miller
Redmi Note 8 has SD, Note 8 Pro has Mediatek
James Foster
No
Alexander Bell
I'm very happy with my SE for the last couple of years. Had a Galaxy Alpha before that (still the best phone imo). If my SE hadn't fallen (badly cracked screen and on/off botton not working anymore) I'd keep it for at least another year. Leaning towards getting an iphone 8 once the price drops.
Tyler Martin
Blackberry key2 isn't cheap, but other, cheaper attempts are really shit. The Unihertz Titan is really, really, really shit.
At least 2-3 years until 5g is mainstream. At least.
Mason Hall
I hate Google and their spyware, I also hate Apple and their outrageous prices, but at least you never hear them stealing you data. I currently own Nexus 6P and I want to upgrade and cannot decide whether to get iPhone Pro Max or save almost more than x2 by buying OnePlus 7 Pro. What should I do?
Oliver Ward
Is the RN8 worth it over the RN7? There doesn't seem to be much difference but might as well go for the latest one, no?
Parker Garcia
I thought Xperias weren't flashable.
Lucas Reed
Yes. The regular note 8, not the pro.
Adam King
Not worth changing from rn7 to 8, but if you are buying a new phone, ofc go for rn8.
Aaron Perry
Alright thanks. Do you know if aliexpress is reliable with RMA? I've had two xiaomis fail before but luckily I got them on amazon and got a refund for both without hassle, wondering if it's better for me to wait for it to be sold on amazon rather than buying directly from china
There will be a slew of used ones after the 20th so probably then.
Joshua Garcia
Buy used in good condition.
Nolan White
I think I already saw a pricedrop on the apple website? Could be a price difference between phones in American and here in Europe though.
John Morales
I have rn4x for 2y, bought directly from some Xiaomi store in HK over Aliexpress. Bought 5a prime for brother too and no problems so far. You will have to ship to China for warranty if the phone fails, but it works if you buy from stores that have 99% positive ratings like official Xiaomi stores, Fantacy store and similar. Xiaomi in local is too overpriced in my country, dont have amazon because im in ex-yu shithole, resellers are buying from Ali too.
Camden Howard
I need a phone /spg/ help me
I'm gonna be using it in Italy but I'm in Canada right now Needs to have a headphone jack Removable battery would be preferred but it isn't a 100% needed feature IP67 would also be preferred but isn't needed
Christian Price
Why even bother with the double wide angle on the 11? If the 11 was the XR replacement, giving it the telephoto lens it was missing would have been the upgrade. Might as well just buy the XR instead.
Jeremiah Price
>indestructible phone Apple wins again... FUCK!!!
Joseph Ross
Looking for a phone that| >doesn't have a retarded curved screen >has a good camera >is water resistant (this part is VERY important I wanna use it in the shower) >doesn't cost 1249 EUR for the 64 GB version Any suggestions?
Juan Jenkins
Are you in Canada long-term? Aren't Canadian carriers as retarded as the American? If so, that pose a problem w6oth frequency bands and shit.
Jordan Rogers
I have $800 dollars to burn on a Smartphone (US), and no preference when it comes to brands, what phone should I get?
Hudson Long
yeah I meant I'm going to Italy so it needs to work there but I live in Canada, I haven't slept user
Logan Stewart
Nokia 7.2 or Xiaomi mi 9T?
Sebastian Scott
my previous phone died and i need a new one within the next week, should i just buy the rn7? i mean there isn't really much of a difference between rn8 right? all i do is just reading manga and some gachashit whenever im on breaktime
Liam Cox
basically same cpu difference are only in extra wide angle camera
Wyatt Hill
Never had an iPhone before, only Androids.
Is this the one to try?
Josiah Thompson
No. Wait for 2020 when they finally adopt USB-c, otherwise all of the equipment you have now will be useless. By 2020 they will have radically changed the design as well, maybe tey'll finally go notchless.
Justin Martinez
iPhone SE camera will eventually be clogged w/ dust. Srsly, get at least an iPhone 7. It's worth it.
Jayden Gutierrez
Just buy another sim?
Gavin Fisher
Pretty sure I read somewhere reputable that the SE is not only discontinued but Apple will release an updated 2020 version.
Xavier Kelly
Yep. Happened when I had an SE on both front and back cameras. The 5S had the same issue too, unsurprisingly.
Easton Howard
Will we still be able to flash custom ROMs on teh Redmi Note 8 Pro?
Oliver Flores
Any good ROM for Mi A2?
Oliver Smith
Sound advice. That's good to know
Dylan Sanchez
>The only feature that matters on the new iPhone 11 Pro is that it's still an iPhone.
is there a way for me to add software bezels on android 9? I want one at the top and at the bottom..
Ryder Parker

Mason Gonzalez
>County Burger land >carrier Don't give a fuck >budget No more than 700 but cheaper is better >Features I want this phone to last me at least 3-5 years If I can put a custom OS on it so I don't get raped that would even be better. Good screen and cases are a must plus Qi charger compatible.
