I wanna buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. Is it as good as it seems for the price? Any user owning it would like to share his or her thoughts?
Also is it normal for chinkphones to have 1 year warranty? Is it something I should be wary of?
Brandon Scott
It's considered to be the best bang for the buck currently, but make sure to check if it's carrier compatible in your country. it lacks most American bands and lacks LTE 20 which is widely used in Europe.
As for warranty, that's pretty standard. if it breaks, you'll have to pay to send it back to China as well so keep that in mind.
Matthew Nelson
Let's just take a moment to appreciate this edge device. You won't find a better phone

>LTE not supported on O2 network
fuck me
Robert Jackson
Does the WiFi tethering in the S7 work with ac? Will I get blazing fast speeds if I buy a usb wireless ac adapter for my PC?
Ryan Ross
Is there an alternative for the k6000 premium? Looking for Helio x20/p10 performance >4gb ram and 6k mAh.
Cooper Ramirez
i've just been hit by the no gmail/inbox notifications after doze bug.
woke up this morning to 10 emails notifications coming through all at once.
tried a controlled test just now after leaving my phone untouched for an hour - 15 minutes after a test email is sent i still have no notifcation for it.
jesus google get your shit together.
Lucas Morgan
>Rumor says Galaxy S8 will feature dual-camera setup, UHD display UHD on a smartphone is the worst fucking idea
Oliver Morgan
It's for the VR meme.
Jack Campbell
but muh VR. phone hardware and software have almost plateaued. VR's an easy way to have meaningful product differentiation now.
Jason Martinez
Since Xperia X is a meme, should I just wait a while longer?
Eli Lewis
It's actually a damn nice phone for the price. Make sure to buy the 32gb version since it has more ram though. The only thing that's pissing me off about it is MIUI, but I'm looking forward to flash cyanogenmod or resurrection remix some day.
Justin Carter
Anandtech reviewed it. They compared the screen to ones from 2010, battery life is pretty good though.
Still a good buy IMHO if you don't care too much about displays.
>inb4 "you should wait for the ZTE Axon meme"
Jayden Cook
But what about the battery life non-meme? Can they even match the s7 edge's current life if they upgrade it that far? I don't know much about batterys but I feel like it would probably end up worse.
Seems like a big hit to take for some gimmicky tech like VR. 4k itself is basically a meme, I say this as someone who is typing onto a 4k monitor right now. There is almost no content outside of gaming. And there seems to be diminishing returns around this point as the pixels become harder to discern anyway unless you have a large monitor. If I went one setting lower on my monitor(I'm not going to do it) the difference iirc isn't even that shocking, not like the leap from 1080p back down to 720p. I run some games in lower resolution because my PC can't handle it and honestly if it's still past 2k I might forget.
I have an s7 edge and most people don't even know but it runs games in 1080p. I bet most owners don't even know that because chances are you won't notice unless you are told, because it basically looks the fucking same on the tiny screen, you can't discern the pixels anyway. What a fucking pointless waste of power to put 4k on a phone unless I am wrong about something.

EVERY FUCKING YEAR IT'S THE SAME SHIT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH
Kayden Cruz
They probably will down scale everything that isn't vr or 4k video.
Nathaniel Walker
they could just take the same approach as sony did with their 4k smartphone and upscale everything except video and vr content.
Jason Thompson
also, i might be wrong about this, but you could potentially upscale a 1440 render to a 4k display and potentially get better results as screen door effect would be mitigated by pixel density. i might be wrong about that tho. native 4k would be really hard.
Michael Collins
Sup Forumsuys, listen. I've had an old flip up phone for as long as i can remember. I'm finally thinking of buying a smartphone, do you have any suggestions? I want the best phone money can buy, preferably durable and with a great camera.
Aaron Perry

John Smith
Galaxy S7 fits 2 of those. It's a fragile little bitch though and you will need a case if you tend to drop things.
Dylan Johnson
Phones come out too fast. Just buy one if you want/need one. Even if you buy one at the best possible time it's only like a year at most before it's out of date again.
Daniel Roberts
durable like >i drop my phone every few days or >i take good care of my phones, i don't want it to bend in my pocket
Grayson Barnes
Is the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 a good tablet? Looking for a tablet that can do gaming and casual work smoothly.
Jason Ward
>i drop my phone every few days
James Harris
Yea, im not sure about the curved screen, though.
Ian Gutierrez
the s7 doesn't have a curve. that's the s7 edge.
at that point you're better off just sticking any phone you like the off in one of those rugged armour cases
Lincoln Lopez
I have 9.7 and it's great. AFAIK 8.0 has the same specs and screen res, go for it, don't even hesitate.
Parker Murphy
Charging port on my s6 crapped out. Went to sprint and they gave me some bullshit about corrosion, as if i had drowned it. Ordered $15 board gonna just go for it. but have been eyeballing these chink phones y'all keep posting, s6 isn't latest and greatest anymore but would one of these chinkphones even come close? That iris scanning phone looks sick. I had a spare s4 but an old roommate stole it, looking for a spare or something to make this a spare
Eli Russell
My friend has had an htc one m7 for 3 years now, he doesn't have a case and he drops it very often, once even flew 50 m downstairs. All he has is one, almost unnoticable crack on his screen and the body has all kinds of scratches and little dents, but it works pretty good still. I mean that kind of durable.
Parker Garcia
i'd say he's just very lucky with the angle of his drops honestly.
case in point, my brother and sister both had galaxy s3's. my sister dropped hers almost every few days and it survived over 3 years of that without the screen cracking - she dropped it a good 8ft on to some train tracks once.
my brother dropped his phone once on asphalt from about chest height and the screen shattered.
Jaxon Thompson
No such thing on flasgships today. they are all fragile as fuck. just get a case and tempered glass screen protectors. don't be autismo.
Caleb Long
+edit: just pick something doesn't have a glass back if you don't want a case on it. if you want to go autismo then consider the lg v10.
Logan Howard
Galaxy s7 active
Easton Gutierrez
boi that's why you got wireless charging just use that. As a user of the s7 the s6 is still a really really solid phone and you won't get something similar unless you plan on spending 300-400+ dollars
Lucas King
Blackview bv6000
Luke Lewis
I currently have a wireless charger taped to the back of my phone. Certainly a lifesaver of a feature but still a pain in the ass. Still kinda want a backup/spare, should i just keep an eye on craigslist for a cheap used s5 or throw my money at the chinks?
Grayson Phillips
Anyone has experience with this thing? I just bought one since I needed a new phone asap. Paid 160 euro's for it. So far it seemed very decent for it's price.
Leo Foster
Looks pretty good. Didn't look up rooting possibilities do you know more? It's better than a rn3pro. How's the sound of speakers and headphone output? Got an antutu score?
Christopher Perry
Anybody know if this thing is fixable? Moto x 2013
Brandon Lopez
I literally just broke My motox2013 and threw it away.... it looked the exact same...
Jose Garcia
yes but not worth it.
Kayden Bell
If you want a device that will last for years without tinkering, get a iPhone SE.
It got the same specs as the current flagship iphone 6s, but with the shell of a iphone 5 and a smaller resolution. So there shouldn't be a problem with future iOS updates.
Android is for those who want to customize and tweak their phone to their own preferences, if you don't give a shit about those kind of things just go with a iPhone that "just run apps" and do everything else automatically.
Is it worth buying lg g3 now? I want phone with good screen, good camera at decent price (which LG G3 is now).
Connor Sanders
Can someone go to ZTE central and kick their lazy asses to release the Axon 7 worldwide already?
It's really annoying.
Leo Adams
Do the same to Oukitel I need the k6000 premium...
Robert Nelson
Does anyone actually own a Xaomeme or are you all just epic memesters with Samsungs?
Jaxon Gonzalez
Should I get a waterproof Sony like the Z3 Compact or a chinkphone that'll be much more powerful and cheaper, but less durable? I know chinkphones are weak as fuck against water.
Joshua Campbell
If I buy a used lg G4, what are the odds that I end up with a bootloop brick?
I'm not THAT careless, I just don't want something that'll break if it rains on it.
Dylan Phillips
Looking to replace my cracked Galaxy S5. My smart phone history is S2 > S3 > S5. Definitely don't mind getting away from Samsung and touchjizz. Considering buying used.
Price: ~250, hard max at 300 USD
Carrier: AT&T
Country: USA
Size: not huge, don't want to strain too much to reach the top of the screen
Other: I would like expandable memory. Stock Android is a huge plus, I hate all of the Samsung shit that they include in their phones.
Joseph Evans
RIP free pizza
Landon Cruz
No. it's old and shit.
RN3P.
That rules out most Sony's and their "drop once" phones. the Z3 and Z5 screens are fragile as fuck.
Ryan Sullivan
Anons with Samsung's should leave. Locked down shit phones... Here are a bunch of anons with chinkphones lurk more, especially/csg.
Aiden King
I know a fair amount of people with Z3 Compacts and they all said to me that they're sturdy as fuck
Brandon Myers
What's the comfiest smartphone? >inb4 redmi note 3 pro But is it really?
Mason Adams
>5.5" >comfy Nope. 5.2" is the biggest your phone should be. 5" preferred.
Kevin Sanders
Ye. Maybe look up some of the 6000mAh phone and tell me if you find one with a p10.
Mason Ortiz
Samsung
Galaxy
Note
Two
Caleb Barnes
>5.2" should be maximum, 5" preferred If only the memephone industry would think like this..
Oliver Morris
Buying a new 2013 Moto G is probably cheaper than repairing it :/
Thomas Turner
Do you like Chink phones? >1+3 $399 >Zuk Z2 $299 >Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro $199
If you don't, the Nexus 5X dropped below $300 at some stores. Also check out the Asus Zenfone 2.
Carter Moore
>want a nexus >new line comes in october from htc possibly with 3d touch display
I guess I'll wait then
Gabriel Gutierrez
>Zuk Z2 $299 where? all i see are 400 and 500 ones
thanks man, but do u think getting a ZUK Z2 over RN3P is worth it?
Jacob Hall
No idea. I still wait for zuk saying that the zuk z2 gets cm support like the z1. If they do that then I might get one.
Wouldn't get the redmi because of the big screen desu.
Luke Howard
>SD820 >4GB RAM >better camera Yep. Redmeme is only good because it's cheap.
Easton Bell
Is an LG G4 an awful deal new for 300€, the screen and camera seem incredible for the price, but i heard the battery is lacking
Or do I just join the Sup Forums meme team and buy the Redmi Note 3 Pro for 180€?
Joshua Walker
Except gmail from battery optimization features
James Myers
>Is an LG G4 an awful deal new for 300€ Yes it is. battery is shit and there's no way to know if your'e buying a bootloop device or not.
Liam Moore
>Is an LG G4 an awful deal new for 300€ I'd say so, maybe for around $225USD (200 euro), but it's just not worth the price at this point.
I get 2 hours SOT at best.
Leo Evans
>urge to blow money on a new phone >literally no reason to upgrade
Fuck help
Also what the fuck do you guys need powerful phones for anyway? What the fuck do you do with a phone look at porn?
Ian Reed
what is the best android rom for the motorola x 2014 atm?
Jason Flores
I'm still waiting to hear a good reason about why the OP3 has 6GB of RAM.
Wyatt Reyes
So its looking like the note 3 pro? The zenfone 2 seems to barely match it in specs and itd be 50€ more?
Thanks for the warning btw lads, will be steering well clear
Sebastian Miller
>mfw the iphone 6 with 1gb of ram outperforms it
Tyler Kelly
They made the battery smaller, so they had to meme up the ram.
But 6GB Ram is useless without proper ram management.
Sebastian Scott
Is it comfortable to use a large smartphone/phablet (Note 4, etc.) in daily life? Does pulling it out of your pocket regularly and carrying it around everywhere become annoying?
>inb4 it was my dad who should have pulled out
Jacob Rivera
Because the people that buy oneplus phones love their specs and even though its horribly managed, that high a number lets them brag to their friends
Evan Jackson
I ask myself that question all of the time. Fuck it in getting an iphone
Elijah Lewis
The Redmeme is pretty good. check the carrier compatibility first with sites in OP.
Jack Hernandez
You get used to it. I went back to a smaller phone and just didn't enjoy it as much
Julian Nguyen
If you're a big guy, they are perfect. But many women also have massive phones too but they have handbags and shit.
Chase Allen
I fear that the Zuk Z2 Pro is overpriced for what it is worth.
It looks flimsy and easy to break, like the Xiaomi Mi5.
Jaxon Lee
What can we expect from the upcoming nexus line ? Will it be as expensive as the last one or also something in the midrange?
Brayden Wood
One last thing, is the mi5 considered a better phone then the note 3 pro. They both seem within budget but I won't be getting anothrr phone for a while after this
William Sanchez
For you
Jayden Rodriguez
Yes, it's their current flagship. has a faster SD820 and a better camera. if you can afford it sure why not.
David Parker
How can I tell a Global from a China Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro? I am looking to buy one but don't know which one will work on my carrier.
Easton Miller
Resurrection Remix or Android Ice Cold Project?
Joseph Wright
Satan pls, use your s6. If the fix doesn't work, buy enough wireless charging pads.
