Mason James
questions;
Can I get some photos of that $16.50 backpack on a person? Any cheap video cameras suitable for entry-level youtube.
Xavier Stewart
Flash a different ROM and stop spamming this shit you insufferable autist.
Henry Bennett
There's a photo of one strapped to a chinklet in the reviews for the one I got:
>tfw half the last thread was people buying or contemplating buying some backpack you're shilling and it still doesn't make the /csg/ news
Adam Long
woah dude, de ja vu
Gabriel Cruz
So, redmi 3 pro or redmi note 3 pro with 2gb ram? The note is only 9 euro more than the regular redmi 3 pro. The 32/3 gb version of the note is like 60 euro more, and I'm not sure if it's worth it to me to spend that much more if the cheaper version function well enough.
Wyatt Hall
how much are you paying for you chink slave?
I pay mine $4/hr
Thomas Lee
Yicam, whatever popular webcam on alie, or maybe your smartphones camera.
Came with three lenses (fish eye, wide, macro), clip, baggie, and a shitty phone stand (which I presume was a "gift" or whatever). Picrelated is the fish eye lens.
Pretty gud for 2$.
Luke Lewis
Note 3 Pro unless you prefer smaller over faster with better camera.
Wyatt Cooper
If you're paying him then he's not a slave, user.
Also can someone please review the H22 3D quadcopter, with particular reference to a) if the controls are precise enough to use it indoors and b) whether it is durable enough to let my spastic children play with it.
Camden Gomez
Less shitty pic:
Aaron Young
>paying slaves Only a riceball and a boiled egg for mine.
Brayden Clark
Seems fun. Also kinda useless (apparently wrecks the image entirely on the side, doesnt look like you can photograph much extra...)
Xavier Gutierrez
>If you're paying him then he's not a slave, user. Not really, you can keep slaves in many ways.
Chase Kelly
sorry senpai, i was asleep for most of the last thread mustve missed that
i tried
Angel Collins
>Pretty gud for 2$
Surely you jest.
Daniel Allen
If you're paying him then he's a wagecuck, not a slave. Not receiving financial remuneration is pretty intrinsic to the concept of slavery.
Jack Johnson
>that chromatic aberration
Ayden Kelly
is the 2gb ram enough on the note 3 pro? The size and screen resolution don't really matter that much to me, since my eyes are pretty shit anyway. But I'm not sure how well the sd616 on the regular redmi holds up. Like, I don't know what it could handle and what it can't.
Ryan Johnson
It's nothing remotely professional, but it sure is wide as hell, even with all the distortion.
I needed a cheap lens, I got a cheap lens. Can't complain.
Xavier Hernandez
I still wanna know where the Mitu smut is. My dick tells me it MUST exist.
Cameron Reyes

Brandon Williams
That Mi Max looks monstrous. I'm definitely thinking about buying one, depending on my financial situation when it's available.
James Martinez

Sebastian Smith
anyone who has some tips of lenses with optical zoom?
wanna take some close wild animal phone pics from far away without scaring away the faggots.
its not a monster on the inside, only a snapdragon 650 lel
Josiah Brooks
Where would I put this info, under which section? Notable Brands -> Headphones?
Brandon Thompson
Just ordered the AT-BT805. The ear cups look quite comfy. Will take a short review for porn-suitability. Wish me a fast shipping. :3
Michael Walker
Assuming it's you who does the OP for most of the /csg/ threads, thank you for your contribution to making this one of the comfiest threads on this board.
Ethan Russell
Oh boy!
Hudson Flores
Yea, 2gb are fine unless you run half a dozen of the shittiest social network apps plus a game or such. Most apps require well under 100 MB RAM.
Ayden Turner
OPEN P E N
Connor Cooper
Thermal pads, (micro)SD cases and cheapest ultraFIRE 14500 batteries.
Tyler Allen
>I needed a cheap lens I find that hard to believe.
Camden Scott
*TrustFIRE
That case is most interesting item.
Jeremiah Lewis
Likewise the SD616 is easily fast enough, haven't found too many problems yet even on a chipset half as fast.
Good luck with that on a smartphone...
Jeremiah Murphy
I have the case too, it's really fucking neat.
Colton Kelly
>cheapest chinese batteries It's like you want to burn your house to the ground.
Dominic Bell
My charger on my old asus tf101 died. Cheapest replacement chargers are "from china". How much can I trust those?
(fuck you asus for abandoning usb 5v standard output)
Kayden Harris
not me i just made this one cause nobody else was doing SHIT
Evan Sullivan
Alright, I "wanted" a lens and cheap ones were the perfect option.
Wyatt Anderson
Hmm, I'm still leaning towards the regula redmi because it's a bit smaller. Is there anything the 616 just can't handle that the 650 can? I might try some emulators down the line, maybe order one of those 1$ ccardboard vr things for shits and giggles.
Christopher Lewis
Is this a meme or some shit
Brayden Jackson
Usually not a problem if its for your netbook.
For 5v USB I'd suggest not getting the crappiest one, despite them usually working somehow they can be dangerous...
Thomas Fisher
well the tablet needs a 15v one. cable is hardwired to the charger.
You know what, csg, I sit here under my tent (outside) and it's hot as fuck.
I only came out cuz my fan by my TP just stalled on me and I really needed to read.
But lo and behold it's still stiflingly hot. I'm gonna blue pill on the xi fan, thnx csg
Nicholas Smith
Most VR stuff is no problem. Video & Games and things like that...
Dunno about emulators of the PS2 era and later, maybe there are some differences there, but before should be fine.
Anthony Carter
Dear friends :) It seems that received package? it say headphones
Adrian Thompson
Probably a dildo that rams your ass to the sound of "jingle bells".
I have one of those, it's nice, but I don't feel comfortable using it any month over than december.
Tyler Taylor
>vr Doesn't the Redmi 3 have a 720p screen? You'll see every single pixel on that.
Tyler Williams
I'm not going to emulate past ps1 anyway, since I've got the consoles I want from that point on. So the redmi 3 pro is a solid device for video and even mobile games, insofar I'll ever touch those. Just want to keep my options open.
Also, any chance there's going to be a stock android or cyanogen rom for the 616? I'll probably stick with MIUI global rom to start with, but who knows I might get bored of it in a year or so.
Connor Harris
I ordered like 7 things from gearbest and the package said that it was a gift with a 1.8kg headphones.
ez no customs or taxes.
Leo Cox
let us see dear friend :) seeing package look like "Mpow Wolverine Bluetooth Headphones"
let us see further inside, friends .
Julian Richardson
>let us see further inside, friends . You took that picture 40 minutes ago. Get to the end of it already.
You suck at this.
Bentley Rogers
Anyone from the UK bought the Xiaomi Redmeme Pro 3 yet?
Just want to know what website you used and how fast it was.
>I've read the Wiki
Hudson Fisher
ended up buying this cuz it looks cool and I always have my phone on me
Dylan Barnes
Fishing user here, No I can't say as I have ever used something like that. Seems like an interesting machine though, could be fun to play with but I wouldn't make something like that part of my regular tackle, it seems to miss the point of it all a little.
Also I imagine it'd be of more use in a pond or lake than river or sea fishing.
Nolan Carter
I'll probably just watch vr porn on one of those 2 dollar carboard things for like ten minutes before growing bored of it. Besides, it seems kind of silly to me to get the note 3 pro purely for the vr gimmick, since the redmi 3 pro can handle other stuff just fine acording the other user.
Adam Harris
what were the contents? Curious
Ethan Flores
Four battery cycles from my RN3P. Pretty, pretty, prettyyy good.
Julian Long
>Connect my redmi note 3 pro vi usb with a computer >File explorer can't dettect it >The Xiaomi pc suite or whatever it's called sees it >Can only transfer files through this shitty app
How do I solve this? I remember acerssing my phone just fine few days ago
Kayden Campbell
You have a point, this isn't really for game and I doubt it has proper range for the sea.
just didn't expect to see this on GB, to be honest
Christopher Collins

Xavier Edwards
Change to a cable with both data and charging pins
Brayden Fisher
Alright, so it contains >micro USB charging cable (pretty short, but whatever) >a bunch of ear tips >different sized ear stabilizers - 3 pairs for regular indoor use, 3 pairs for sport use >instructions So as the kind user pointed out (), I've already opened the package and I've been listening to them as I'm typing this.
They don't feel chink at all, but they don't feel like $60 headphones either. It's more than good enough for $18 or so.
The sound quality is obviously not as good as the Xiaomi Piston 3 (which are the only chink earphones I can compare to), seeing as they the Wolverine are wireless, but it's good enough, especially if it's just for biking or running, which is what I'll be using them for. I tried different equalizer presets in AudioFX on CyanogenMod 13, and the Hip Hop seems to be the best one.
Setting them up was really painless, and the instructions were actually in decent english. The voice that tells "paired, pairing, powering off, powering on etc" is clear enough to understand without issues.
So far they've been pretty comfortable, but I intend to use them for running with my smartwatch, so I don't have to carry my phone with me, and I've yet to try that.
So far it seems like an item I'd recommend, but that's only based on ~30 minutes of use. They're supposed to last 8 hours, which other reviews said are pretty realistic, but I haven't found a way to check the battery on it. Maybe I'm just stupid.
let me have my fun, user
Nicholas Wood
also the fucking pc suite can't transfer files properly, it gets stuck at 33/4 files or some bullshit like that
Camden Walker

Owen Myers
Many Xiaomi phones got a Cyanogen or AOSP derivative ROM. IDK how it is / will be for the 616, though.
Personally I am still on MIUI after years. It may be bloated, but is very useful to me.
Jaxson Evans
cool, you live in the EU?
If so, not sure if the gift tactic will work. But still tight of GB to do this
Luke Walker
Use a data cable. And presumably MTP mode on the phone.
William Bailey
fug, making decisions is hard.
Out of curiosity, which xiaomi do you use, sempai?
Asher Hall
Requesting the user who bought all the Xiaomi products to set up a photo of himself as an homage to Macfag Meme Dude.
Lincoln Allen
I've got a parcel coming via DHL with a tablet in it.
I've got a bad feeling I'm going to be raped by customs.
Levi Diaz
Close up of the interesting parts. The ear stabilizers do not get in the way. I was worried they would. They're removable anyway, in case one doesn't find them uncomfortable.
Just doing a Gearbest order - is shipping insurance a meme? It's only £1.20 but I don't want to spend £1.20 on nothing
Nathan Gray
Beats me. I dislike having long fingernails.
Adam Allen
>every thread
Just buy em off iOffer already.
Carson Fisher
Not everybody on this website is trying to transition.
Owen Adams
Imagine your shipment never arrives. It was stolen by a crafty Chinaman/lost overboard/destroyed in a massive fireball explosion that decimates a quarter of a Chinese city.
With insurance: >oh no dat is very unfortunate I send anotha!
Without insurance: >haha stupid foreigner go fuck yourself!
Jason Rodriguez
>responding to obvious bait kill youre'r selfes
Levi Ward
It helps should things get lost.
Christian Nelson
>decide to buy a quality item from an american store >purchased from them before, everything was excellent >ready to order, fill out delivery information again >"we don't ship to your country" >well, that sucks >bust out my good old mail-forwarding address >they don't ship to mail forwarders
fuck you, burgers, i knew the chinks were the superior businessmen
Bentley Myers
What's the deal with Chink shipping? X means still hasn't arrived. I feel like I buy too many gifts.
Mason Price
Thanks lads. Going to make the investment
Jack Thomas
Currently a Redmi 1S.
Connor Fisher
What you buying?
Jaxon Cox
It is the usual postal union stuff, isn't it? Can be useful but it tends to be some work to file a claim and AFAIK you need to inspect the package right when it arrives...
Lincoln Price
So i have waited 64 days since shipment. Should i ask for a refund or wait a little more?
Jace Butler
Sorry, but I'm waiting specifically for that guy
he promised he'd return
Cameron Reed
For a common air mail shipment? Refund, probably.
Jose Morales
Actually it's more like
With insurance: >oh no dat is very unfortunate I send anotha!
Without insurance: >haha stupid foreigne- oh wait you got paypal to refund you, fuck you jewish foreigner don't ever talk to me or my one son again
Isaac Nguyen
Some hopefully good meme stuff:
> KZ ATE-S > Xiaomi XL mousepad > 64GB shark
When (if) all this stuff arrives I'm really going to feel like a part of Sup Forums
Christian Davis
>or my one son again >one son
Topkek
Charles Phillips
KZ shipping is quite impressive
Jayden Murphy
With the amount of KZ shilling that goes on in these threads they can probably afford to charter a whole plane to themselves at this point.
Henry Stewart
I also paid for a tracking number. Did I get memed on that?
Anthony James
Married user here, I don't even wear a wedding ring because I hate jewelry (my wife does tho) But this one looks okay So what store on Ali was it?
