I have a Xiaomi RN3P for over 2 months now and it killed my second sim card. Are xiaomis known to kill sim cards? Why does this happen in the first place? Never had a sim die before. Google doesn't find anything useful about this.
Thomas Gonzalez
are you sure it's actually dead and not just the simcard slot that's dead?
Parker Adams
Does that do VR? If so, how good is it?

So I said fuck it, and bought the Google Pixel XL 128GB. They said it was on a 5-6 week back order, but then it just showed up at my doorstep in 4 fucking days. I was hoping I had time for buyers remorse to sink in, and cancel the order, but guess not. Anyway, its the best fucking phone I ever used.
Installed PureNexus on my old Nexus 5, fucking blazing fucking fast. Maybe even slightly faster than the Pixel in response times. Pixel does blow it out of the water app performance wise tho.
Back to the Pixel. Few complaints. The Google branded case is silicony, and attracts a LOT of dirt, and loose fibers. Cant seem to find a better case. USB Type C is THICC and doesn't curve well. Not a single screen protects fits well. The glass on this phone is SLIGHTLY curved at the edge, and since no one bothers making a soft malleable screen protector anymore, the glass ones cant come to the edge. I tried the ZAGG one, and Verizon's brand of screen protectors and they are actually SMALLER than the fucking LCD screen. Spent 20 minutes fiddling with one, and it just wont cover the entire display. Fucking retarded. AliExpress screen protectors just copy the dimension, and have the same fucking problem. Cant seem to get more than 5 icons in a row, even if I lower all the font, and display size to small, it shows that more icons will fit, but no new grids show up. Stupid inconstant 7.1 icons all over the place
Fingerprint sensor is amazing, I cant believe I ever talked shit on the concept. I can unlock the phone with one hand and go back exactly where I left off. Its very accurate, and you can add multiple fingers from each hand. My Anker car charger that never charged my Nexus fast, charges the Pixel fast.
Night light mode in 7.1 is awesome. Wallpapers are pretty good, but wish they had better resolutions for each screen
Is there a nice ROM for the Pixel XL I can slap on? I really like the custom ROM features.
Gabriel Rodriguez
Anyone ever successfully compile AOSP for your phone? How the fuck did you do it? I always end up solving different errors until I get something that can't be googled.
Wyatt Miller
Used Samsung Galaxy S5 for 90€.
Should I go for it? My absolute max. limit is 100€ I can spend on a phone. It even has warranty left for few months. The cover for the charging port is only missing, I wonder if I could get that fixed while at it.
Landon Peterson
Nuh uh, that's the G6 u dummy
Landon Cook
what is Sup Forums's opinion on our first look on the S8?
imma buy it
pic unrelated
Grayson Smith
Looks really good, but I have an S7 Edge so I won't get one.
Cameron Diaz

Tyler Gonzalez
What's the difference of SD820 and SD650 in real life performance? Is it noticeable? Like faster facebook page loading or faster gps fix?
Brandon Rogers

Waiting for the Note 8 so it gets a price drop. Hopefully my V10 doesn't bootloop until then.

Kevin Young
damn a zte diehard that's a rare breed
Colton Jenkins
This shit is completely unnoticeable unless you have both side by side, stop sperging over specs, we're LONG past the time where any of this shit matters anymore.
Henry Moore
Oneplus T3 or Pixel XL?
I want black
Jacob Nelson
Are there mediatek phones with good ROM support? I was thinking of getting a Nokia 3.
William Cox
this, and that's why i buy $100 burner phones like this
Ian Ward
op no
Luke Long
As opposed to the Succ shills?
Bentley Jackson
ZTE has paid for literal shills in the past.
Robert James
Best chink phone under $200 that works with t mobile in the us
Jack Peterson
I dunno man. My Moto x pure has front facing stereo speakers and didn't come with all that bloatware - maybe 4 or 5 Moto apps and the rest was google shit. Reckon it's about as pure google as one could get without having a Nexus.
Christian Sanchez
ZTE ZMax Pro
Brandon Davis
I wish ZTE paid me to shill
I'd fucking do it
Benjamin Murphy
Anyone?
Thomas Perry
Dunno m8, all my phones dont come with covers for ports and they've been just fine. It sounds like a dealbreaker desu.
Asher Morris
Really don't care about the cover, just wondering if I can get that fixed under warranty once I buy it from him. Just interested in whether this is the ultimate best bucks deal for a consumer. I'm super duper poorfag so 90€ for S5 seems pretty good deal after doing some research. In my country second hand variety is pretty bad for other products that aren't iphones and lumias and I want none of those OS phones.
Juan Rivera
Any decent custom Android versions for a Galaxy s5 or should I stick with Lineage OS? Also does anyone know what kind of battery case I should get? I'm going to be taking a trip through streetshitterland (South Asia) in a few months. I can't imagine that I'll have access to a working electrical outlet more often than every 3-4 days.
Literally why? You can't root it or install a custom OS and it's 100% proprietary. Just get an iShit, you fag.
>buying cheap Chinese phones You get what you pay for. It's 1000 times better to buy a few years old flagship than a brand new chinkfone.
Definitely go for it. I have one and it's great. It's the first phone I've had that has an SD slot and it's the most amazing feature. I store the OS and a few apps on the internal 16GB flash and everything else on a 128GB micro SD card. I'll never buy another phone without this.
Yes. The modem has poor isolation from other hardware like mics and cameras and runs closed source baseband software. I think it's safe to assume that any smartphone can easily be used to spy on you. This is why I remove my battery when I don't need the phone.
topkek
OnePlus. You get better hardware for less, but get the Pixel if you want software support a decade from now.
Dylan Jones
If I use an alternative launcher like Nova Launcher, does it take up more resources than if I had just used the stock launcher? Asking since my GS4 is shitting the bed to the point where I have to turn off nearly all my rice.
Jaxon Allen
Is this still true though? A few years ago, budget phones were truly shit and also everything had a removable battery so you never had to worry about degradation over time.
Now you have budget phones that are 90% as good as flagships for under $200 new, with better batteries, more efficient processors, and all they're missing are stat-sheet features that nobody actually cares about.
Jaxon Nguyen
Nah, I have nova prime on my shitty blu phone and it works better than the stock launcher
Hunter Lopez
No, buying something with quick charge capability is reason enough for me to buy a midget/midrange device over a flagship from 2015
Leo Bennett
According to my phone's self-reported memory usage, Nova Launcher uses 16 MB of RAM on average (over the past day). Clover uses 27 MB. It's nothing.
Granted, I use a single home screen and only one widget.
Josiah Thomas
I'm genuinely tempted by the Redmi Note 4X, but I'm apprehensive about the size.
Currently rocking a BB Q10, but the keyboard has gone to shit and I'm plagued by random reboots. BBOS takes fucking ages to restart, and this phone has served me well.
Will moving to a big phone be too jarring for me, usability-wise? I'm also concerned about fitting in jeans pockets. I don't wear skinny jeans but I'm not rocking fireman/rave pants either.
Levi Young

Kayden Walker
What do I get if I want a non chinkshit 6" replacement for my Nexus 6?
I really don't want to go smaller, I tried 5.7" and it was already too small for me now. I can't go back with my big hands.
I have this screen protector and it's great. I've had it applied since January and it's been flawless.

Honor 6X Get it through Jet cause they have a 15% off coupon for the first 3 purchases, and you end up getting it for $212.50
Asher Ortiz

Leo Jackson
I just want to see my waifu again, but things keep crashing and taking the wallpaper down with it.
Lucas Butler
Sounds to me like an old Samsung acting like an old Samsung
Get a new phone
Adrian Ortiz
Alright, I'll look into it. Would it be worth it to consider an older Galaxy or Note at all?
Robert Peterson
I say no because you don't get a quick charge equivalent like you would with newer phones
Hunter Phillips
My one concern with the Honor 6X is that it does not have gorilla glass. The screen scratches very easily. If you're super careful and always use a screen protector, probably fine.
John Young
Alright. Looking into the Honor 6x right now and it seems nice. Now I just need to figure out which plan I want. It's [CURRENT YEAR]+2 and It seems like most carriers cover even my nowhere corner of the rural Midwest with LTE so it looks like that won't be an issue. I'd like unlimited data but 10gb or more that gets throttled afterwards is fine too.
Christopher Lopez
Expanding on this, if you're a Prime member, pre-orders for the new G5 Plus are 185 for the 2GB RAM version with lock screen adds, but other wise the specs are pretty sound
Levi Nguyen
H2O wireless has a $50 plan for 10GB and a $60 plan for 12GB, 10% with autopay on AT&Ts network
Lucas Moore
Guys it's almost april when does Moto G5 comes out in Canada?
Liam Nelson
Yeah I'll get a screen protector on it. I haven't used one on my 6 because I haven't needed it.
John Clark
*10% off with autopay
Jace Cooper
What is the best phone I can get if I just want a lot of storage space and a good camera?
Colton Cruz
Internal space or combined? Budget?
Camden Stewart
Best camera = Pixel.
If you're on a budget, adjust accordingly. Galaxy S7 is under $400 used and is also very good, and it has a micro SD slot.
Levi Nguyen
Internal space mainly Budget of around $500, can go over though
Easton Evans
Zuk Z2 Pro
Oliver Walker
Android is almost 100% proprietary these days, any Nexus or Pixel is nothing more than a whole bunch of closed source binaries so your "custom OS" is basically just reskinned Android running the exact same closed source binaries.
James Miller
And the camera lens randomly shatters. Avoid.
Jordan Diaz
Is the 6x the same size as the regular 6? I'm looking at screen protectors and only see them for the 6 and 6+.
Jose Ward

Fuck the Pixel XL, returned mine after a week. On a Moto G4 now that I got for 50 bucks off CL.
Charles Roberts
Just Pre ordered the S8+. My only wish is they put front facing speakers like the Axon 7 has.
Bentley Baker
Are there any water resistant budget phones?
Christopher Sanders
Honor 6X >Also known as Huawei Mate 9 Lite, Huawei GR5 2017
John Phillips
Preordered it also. S8+ in black. Super tempted by that purple but I had the thought that it might just piss me off after a while, and black goes with everything.
I'm a T-Mobile sales rep so I'm sort of considering it a work expense? I did fucking fabulous on my commission check for March (enough for three S8s) so I guess I'm kinda treating myself, too.
I'm excited.
Angel Williams
Awesome, thanks user
Luke Morales
That's a beige phone
Connor Robinson
Would have bought it if it didn't have such poor software and the back is ugly as fuck.
Axon 7 and htc 10 were the only decent phones for audio..hopefully htc will give us stereo front speakers with the ocean
Ryder Sanders
inb4 the ocean is another colossal fuck up like the ultra
Camden Williams
The software is much better now on Nougat 7.1.1. Just use a case to cover the back
Austin Williams
Samsung a9 pro or moto z play? Both are same price
Camden Myers
A9 Pro has better specs, Moto Z Play has stock android. If you don't mind touchwiz then A9 Pro is the better choice.
Liam Edwards
UUUU
Kevin Cook
Is Net10 any good? I'm looking at a comparison of most prepaid plans and on paper they look pretty good.
Isaac Long
I'm in California. Want to pre-order, so I guess I could shoot some commission money to a fellow autist. Problem is I'm hearing AT&T is offering $750 off a second s8 purchase. Seems like T-mobile has shit for deals right now. Will they match AT&T? Is it better to go through Costco or vest buy or some shit? T-mobile also had a by one get one free for the s7 phones in December. Should I just wait for that same shot with the s8? I have an s7 edge now.
Henry Morgan
I'm going to buy an S8 at launch. That thing looks sexy as fuck.
Connor Foster
It overcharges for what you can get elsewhere
Cooper Jackson
Vest, by, shot Best, buy, shit *
Carter Sanchez
> (You) >A9 Pro has better specs, Moto Z Play has stock android. If you don't mind touchwiz then A9 Pro is the better choice.
I guess I'll go with the a9 pro then, I've used a note 5 of a friend and the interface was alright, he was using nova tho, he did uninstall some of samsung's/carrier bloat as well

You have absolutely no idea of what you’re talking about
Anyone has a V20? In fucking love with the phone's design and I don't want to spend a lot of money. Any alternative you guys would suggest?
Wyatt Parker
Okay I'm a massive weeb and really want this phone but it looks like the only way to get it is with a Japanese plan. Is there any way I could get one and have it work with US prepaid networks?
Sebastian Jackson
OK /spg/, tell me why I shouldn't buy the LeEco Le Pro3. I am planning on installing an AOSP based ROM and don't often use 3.5mm jacks.
Angel Foster
What's special about it? Looks like any other phone. Japan has completely different network bands than the US so I doubt it would work there anyway.
William Bell
I just like the design. I could just get an Xperia but the XZ has a shitty cheap design and I can't find a Z5 Premium that isn't from Hong Kong.
