Xiaomi™ Redmi Note 3 Pro™

Too bad the previous OP didn't make the thread, sick of these weeb images as the OP

I had mine longer and did the same, I'm fucking loving it. All these whiny chinkphone poorfags should go to /csg/, it's where they belong

Why are people on Sup Forums when they don't like weeb stuff??

Is this whole "I hate anime but I'm on Sup Forums" thing ironic?

Not everyone here is a forever virgin weeb and I've been around this place well over a decade
>I like anime
As did I, when I was thirteen. You also like the worst type of anime with all the little girls, kys fags

any reason not to buy redmi 4x if my old windows phone is dying?

Redmi 4 Prime exists

>waaa fuck you for liking what I don't!

Have you ever been with weebs before? They are most sexually active people I've ever met

What were your first smartphones, Sup Forumsuys?

Lg Etna gw620.
It was like the HTC dream, for poor people. Plastic resistive screen, less ram, etc...

That's only true for women because weeb chicks are easy lays, not fags like who beat off to that
Don't ever marry a weeb either

I think I'm gonna get a S7 Edge, is that a mistake?

Try it out first. I hated curved screen so much that I've returned it. Nice phone otherwise.

Why did you not like it?

iPhone 3

What's the current day equivalent of an lg g2?

Im fucked guys, I haven't had a new phone in so long. Have 200 to play with here and I have no qualms buying used. Had bought a galaxy note 4 from ebay, and it had burn in. So what are my options similar to that phone?

lg g2

I have an old nexus 5 and was wondering, are there any reliable sources for a new battery? And would replacing the battery in the first place be worth it?

I can't remember the exact model but it was a Nokia with a yellow backlit screen and non-removable battery.

I'm buying the Galaxy s8 on release on friday.

Redpill me Sup Forums

...

G4+ or G5.

no. it's going to stay shit regardless.

The OG Motorola Droid. Shit was so cash...if only premium phones came in that size still.

Redmi Note 4 Global

kotonoha is ugly

A second hand LG Optimus One P500H back in 2012
A 3.2 inch screen. gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_one_p500-3516.php the gray band was red. I still have it.

can we get schway more anime girls holding phones? smart phones

saged for off topic

Only if you're too poor to get S8

Lenovo K6 or Wileyfox Swift 2?

...

I had that too. Same Red band. I bought it as a payg Bell phone in 2010 for $60. Unlocked it and used it with Rogers payg instead. Other than the plastic screen, it was a good cheap phone. Sold it a few months ago for $30.

Wileyfox Swift 2, more RAM.

where can i get a new one?

Can I get by without a carrier using Signal and other apps like that?

Nexus S, Android that is. E71, symbian was first though.

Yeah, there are, US or EU? And yes, it's worth it, the N5 is still a workhorse, great phone.

Okay, so I wound up getting a Zenfone 2E as a gift. I bought an SD card so I can install more apps that I want, but they only install on its internal memory.

I read about Marshmallow, but I'm not sure what I should do to alleviate this matter.

>no way to get a smartphone without bending over to a corp
>no way to use Internet without bending over to a corp
>no way to get money without bending over to a corp or the government
>no way to do FUCKING ANYTHING without bending over to a corp

FUCK. Our world truly is a dystopia. I wish I knew how to build my own phone or something.

Whoever gave you that phone must really hate you

>waaa i have to pay for products
>waaa I have to pay for services
>waaa I have to work to get money

Why isn't stuff just free? Why can't the government just give me money? Fuck this world.

Parents don't know phones. They got iphones while I got an android. Now is there a way to actually use the extra memory I bought for it for something other than music?

You still need a data plan.

Nokia N95 8GB

>bending over to corps
>liking it

The Honor 8 pro doesn't seem to be available in the UK. Should I go for the normal Honor 8?

Yeah, it's excellent and has a better size anyway.

Currently have a Nexus 6, thinking of getting an S8 or an iphone 7+.I've never owned an iphone. What do?

USA Verizon peeps, what do you have for android? I'm moving from sprint this weekend. Not sure if I want a Galaxy S7 or a Google Pixel.

pixel XL is best phone sorry poorfags

S8 exists, so no.

I'm honestly having a hard time deciding between these two phones.

Someone spoonfeed me reasons why I should get one over the other.

>TouchWiz
>infinity display that's way too tall but not wide enough
>edge display makes screen protectors impossible
>a case usually ruins the functionality of the edge display anyways
>updates at the mercy of your carrier
>bootloader locked
>old camera sensor that still overprocesses pictures and loses to Pixel XL in blind tests
>fingerprint sensor in a fucktarded spot which means you will constantly confuse it with the camers
>TouchWiz

lol, ok.

Would does Microsoft have to do to save Windows 10 Mobile?

I have a Lumia 650 as a secondary phone I find myself constantly using it over my OnePlus 3, just because I like Windows Phone.

>t. retard

I'm hoping that the Pixel 2 or OnePlus 4 is waterproof. It's nice to be able to wash my phone and keep it clean.

Currently have a Droid Turbo 2. I like it somewhat, but I'm literally in the process of backing up all my shit so I can wipe the phone for the fourth time in my history with it. The phone just has a tendency of lagging like fuck and freaking out after awhile, which I think mostly happens after I update to the latest version of Android. (Last time I had to do this was when I updated from 5.0 to 6.0, and I'm doing this again about two weeks after going from 6.0 to 7.0)

I was debating between getting the S8 or KeyOne as a replacement phone (if it ever comes to Verizon), but if the new Moto Z2 Force comes with a headphone jack, then I might just wait because all things said, I'm appreciated the near stock android that moto has. (And that BlackBerry has. The only reason I'm thinking about the S8 is for DeX)

Quick! I need a phone for $225! The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is out of the question because of compatibility issues with Rogers in Canada. I was ABOUT to buy a Motorola G5 plus but they sold out over night, I need a phone ASAP or else I'm getting a Huawei Nova Plus otherwise

A5 2017 or ZTE Blade V8 Pro.

bhphotovideo, I think they deliver to your shithole

Trigger post. No one can be this stupid and believe you right ?

Guys, my belief is wavering.

All these Hindi guys are doing videos on how to root motoG5 plus phones. My motog5 is preordered (not paid for yet), but I'm seeing so many replacement parts for Nexus 5x phones it's not even funny. I feel like I'm going to be shit out of luck in 2 years, but with the Nexus 5x I already know it can run NetHunter, LineageOS, it roots and everything. Has anyone got these fears that when you buy a phone and really want to root it, that it won't be possible?

Fuck, guys, someone calm me down, please.

For a moto g5

Noice

LeEco Le Max 2
>Under $200
>4GB ram, 64GB storage
>1440p display
>Snapdragon 820
>USB Type C
>Official LineageOS build

P.S: Should I buy a brand new phone on launch day? I know Nexus5x is old, but what differences are there? My only priority is being able to root it safely and reliably.

of course you can root but can you unlock the bootloader on the prime versions?

you're acting like nothing I said is true. Sorry, it's all true.

iphone 4

What prime versions? Of the Moto g5?

Bugger off Google shill.

>lel u a shill gr8 b8 m8 wat da fug y r u being mean to my s8

A samsung galaxy S.

It's got a good 7 years use, I think, not sure. It's still working even after being dunked in a swimming pool and taken apart by a complete retard.

>bhphotovideo

Dang they have it but it doesn't ship to Canada

>lel u a u r being mean to my faulty bezel shit

Where does it say that? Free shipping to Canada on orders over $99

Just wait for the pixel 2.
Touchjizz is shit.

>tfw forgot to unlock the bootloader when I got my phone 5 months ago

Good job proving him wrong, samsung shill

Best device in the £150-£200 range? Is the non-Plus G5 any good?

No, it's shit
You might as well get a Wilyfox cause it will be better and have more support

Ignore the dumb Wileyshit.
G5 is great. you can get Zuk Z2 pr Mi5 for that price if you want great specs.

I'm really scared shitless, man. If I could find a reliable root method for my xcover 3, I'd be happy.

G5 is garbage, if you can't get a G5+ you might as well get a Wiley
Zuk Z2 if you want no support

droidviews.com/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-and-root-moto-g5-g5-plus/

Can anyone confirm this as working?

Xperia x10 mini pro, what a wonderful piece of hardware

Is the Mi5 still great price/performance or is there better? I heard the mi5s is not as good.

just get an s7

>touchjizz
Not even once.

It costs about twice as a new mi5 or mi5s here I'm afraid.

who /waitingforthes8tocomeinthemail/ here?

Just wanted to remind you guys that the Iphone is the cleanest phone out there

You're not going to find a black Mi5 for sale anywhere. It's too late.

ok m8

still, it's a good investment, you'll get a quality phone

For a flagship phone, I am not impressed with this battery life

That was me yesterday. Got mine in and love it already.

HTC Inspire 4g - was rocking the sidekick before that
