Posting again: Is there anything better than the 3T for under 450 euros?

Is it possible to unlock xiaomi phones bootloaders without the process xiaomi uses (needs you to enter your phone number and wait two weeks). I have a xiaomi mi max.
John Carter
I've ordered the Lenovo 2p. Am I going to reget it?
Christopher Kelly
RN3P can be unlocked unofficially, don't know about the other Xiaomi phones
Dominic Butler
No
Tyler Hill
Is it still worth getting a Mi5 if I want an SD820 or similar?
Thomas Ramirez
Need purchase advice, just moved to Sweden for work. I get a free contract plus phone, want something that looks nice and works well. Don't give a shit about games or carrier.
Eli Long
Haven't installed Nougat yet to be honest, maybe that will solve some of the problems. It is possible that reviewers don't know how to test GPS and I just got a bad unit, but the detailed review site I go to seems to also complain about performance inside buildings.
Overall it is still a good phone, and honestly I do not drive much (17,000km a year) so 80% of the time the GPS is fine.
Elijah Turner
Anyone got a review on this phone? I really want a good smartphone with a physical keyboard.
It's also on sale (at least in Germany), 342€ instead of 549€. Price/performance ok?
Owen Cox

Christopher Ward
I have a Blackberry Priv, which is actually about the same width as the P2. I thought it was stupidly huge at first but I got used to it, really not that bad in most situations. One handed use is tricky though.
Ryan Harris
>something that looks nice and works well >free contract plus phone
iPhone of your choice?
Nathan Stewart
it's probably cheaper if you get some anti-autism pills and buy a normal phone.
Isaac Gonzalez
It's not a good phone. Overheats a lot, no more updates, terrible Blackberry software.
Unfortunately, there's not many physical keyboard smartphones. Other than this, you have the new KeyOne, the physical clip-in keyboard for the Samsung S7 and S8, and the older Blackberries (BB10 phones can run Android apps, although badly)
Overall I have had a pretty positive experience. Stock Android is nice, the phone is pretty quick in everyday tasks, build quality is good and the keyboard is a nifty feature to have. Battery lasts an entire day even with lots of SOT, I have gotten it to go 2 days with 10% remaining on light use. It does get a bit warm under load though, and sometimes the camera just takes inexplicably bad shots for no reason. But for that price it is a .lot of phone for the money.
Jordan Mitchell
Galaxy S8 here, great phone, stellar build quality and design. It will take some getting used to because of the meme bezels, but otherwise, nothing to complain.
James Thomas
My favourite phone before it broke was the OPO, so I don't mind the big screen at all.
>not that bad in most situations Could you give some examples of situations where it was bad?
Well darn it, are you a heavy user? I'd be mostly using it for music, web surfing, texting, calling and the occasional Netflix (rare). Won't install bloats like SC, FB and IG. Won't even use the camera that much so I don't mind that.
Would the phone still perform poorly under these conditions?
Owen Lee
Is it easy to drop it?
Jacob Williams
>no more updates
This is an outright fabrication. Running the April security patch and May is already in the works. In fact, it has been consistently updated every single month since I bought it in December 2015.
>terrible Blackberry software
So stock Android or minor Blackberry apps that can be turned off?
Check your facts matey.
Caleb Bailey
It's really only unwieldly in one-handed typing. Otherwise it's perfectly fine and comfortable to use.
That sounds really good (esp. the part about battery), as stated here I don't mind the camera and the phone certainly won't be under heavy load.
Also I'll probably leave it at stock android, but I would like to root the phone just to have adblock and remove bloat. Is that not recommendable with this phone?
Anyway, thanks user! Will read the reviews now.
Yeah, I don't mind big phones at all and barely use my phones one handed.
Aiden Ross
only if you're a klutz, just like any other phone
best surprise feature so far has been the bundled USB adaptor that works with a DualShock PS4 controller, which means I can play Vice City on my phone without wanting to smash the phone to bits
>Also I'll probably leave it at stock android, but I would like to root the phone just to have adblock and remove bloat
Not only is it not recommended, it isn't possible. Blackberry locked the bootloader for security reasons. Can't say much about the ads but to be honest there is basically zero bloat.
On the topic of heat, it does heat up under heavy load, nothing catastrophic though. Certainly not Snapdragon 810 housefire levels. I can watch Chinese cartoons for hours and it barely heats up at all.
Christian Cox
I should add, my old Samsung Galaxy S3 used to get wayyyy warmer than my BlackBerry Priv ever did. Fucking burned my face after long phone calls and the battery got stupid hot. The Priv runs cool as a cucumber in comparison.
Aaron Johnson
Oh well, since I won't be gaming much any more and I actually buy most apps I use I won't have to worry about ads as much then. Not having to worry about my face burning off is a plus, I suppose.
Adam Bell
How are the headphones. I hear they are AKG branded?
Chase Brooks
Look up DNS66, it's a pretty good adblock that doesn't require root
Angel Hall
Btw, do you use a case with your Priv? Any recommondations in that regard? Don't need any extra features like credit card slots or a stand and won't mind paying more for higher quality.
Justin Rivera
What's a good new phone in the US for $150 or below?
Lucas Rodriguez
Thanks, mate. Will do.
Jordan Hughes
Is there any substantial evidence of an Iphone SE replacement on the horizon? Or any other top-end phones with
Robert Taylor
>> RNP3 arrives in October >> Random reboots >> Dispute opened, phone has local warranty >> Wait until January coping with the reboots hoping MIUI updates fix them >> Don't install Lineage in case I wanted to claim warranty
Fed up. Claimed warranty. Have to send to a local address and if they agree, I'll get a refund in Aliexpress voucher
What phone should I get with the voucher? RNP3 was almost perfect except for the reboots, could live with a better camera or smaller screen, 5 instead of 5,5
Western Yuropoor, needs more than 16GB ROM, good batery, waranteed official updates
Samuel Sanders
So I just wrecked my Iphone 5's screen today and its about time I got a new phone. I am really not phone-savvy and need some help deciding which phone to pick. After brief research i came up with these:
HTC 10 Samsung any new Iphone, dunno which one
based in Germany, carrier will be Telekom. I want a robust, responsive phone with good basic functionality. Camera doesnt matter too much. I use my phone for music and calendar purposes mostly. What bothered me about the iphone a little is that your are not very accessible and that the battery was kinda shitty.
Hudson Long
I would say just to pick up a leather case. I personally don't use one with my phone because I find it too bulky and I've never dropped or mistreated it. All the cases I've seen have been either really good quality but expensive (order direct from BlackBerry) or very bad quality but cheap.
I did fall flat on my ass while the Priv was in my back pocket once, catching the corner of a stair. Just made a little cracked in the plastic and the screen didn't even break. I'd say the phone is pretty sturdy on its own.
Cameron Russell
leeco: no nfc, no sd card, no audio jack and camera bump Don't know anything about the other phone but why are you picking between a 5.2'' and a 5.7'' screen?
David Wright
Why wouldn't i buy a g4 play? G5 is ugly as fuck and i just want to go down to the shop and buy something cheap (130 euros)that werks....
Grayson Ward
I really don't care about screen size, just want a good phone for ~$250. And holy fuck, I overlooked the audio jack thing. Quick google search tells me that there are no super compact 3,5mm Audio to USB-C adapters with no cable. Well, fuck all that.
No NFC/SD also doesn't matter too much. Still, that's another phone down the drain. I'm really running out of options here. Why do all these phones have such dumb drawbacks :|
Nathaniel Jenkins
>I use my phone for music and calendar purposes mostly Even a 100€ phone will do that just fine
Lincoln Bennett
ZUK Z2 Pro
Luke Cook
>iPhone SE 64GB >$345 aliexpress.com/item/SE/32795523498.html Should I trust? It's seems to be used (not refurb). I guess my only concern would be battery, but I kind of doubt it had over 200 cycles. Comes with fake USB / charger but I really don't care as chink MFI are cheap. Between this ^ or local new 5S (16GB).
I just don't bother with Android (was kinda into Mi 5, but everyone just says >fault gps). Prefer 4.7"-5.15". Also, I mostly use Uber/happn/PoGo and some browser stuff.
>Samsung Just DON'T.
Parker Howard
yeah, probably not a bad choice. Probably gonna narrow it down to the P2, Zenfone 3, Mi5s or the Z2 Pro. trying to act like an educated customer is hard.
Jaxon Sanchez
What's the best phone out now?
Ryan Mitchell
thx for the in depth recommendation friend
Nicholas Cruz
How is jerryrigthings some kind of a top authority on mobile device durability when most of what he does is bend and burn phones?
9/10 phones get ruined by sudden impact trauma. Resistance to falls etc is the kind of functional durability that matters.
I have never had a phone get damaged by literal fire or because a gorilla grab and bend it or however the fuck that is supposed to happen
Charles Jenkins
Got me one of these last year, now being tempted by the G5+ though it makes no sense to upgrade this early... Talk me out of this consumerism pls
Asher Taylor
Because he actually understands how phones work. His teardowns are the interesting videos, the test videos are pretty just an "intro" to them.
As if a burn test actually matters.
Liam Gonzalez
Moto G4 or G4 play maybe
Isaac Bell
Well then, why wouldn't you? It's a nice inexpensive phone
Jacob Watson
just to test their resistance at extreme levels I think, by the way this "tech destruction" wave is absolutely cancerous
Anthony Torres
By the way who is still using OnePlus one in 2017 like me? What rom are you using? Planning to buy OnePlus 5 this summer but, i loved this phone
Jackson Hall
My diary desu.
Samuel Cooper
Zuk Z2 Chink or Pajeet rom? Which room are you guys running?
Kayden Ward
Mokee seems pretty alright. In the few minutes I spent looking, I couldn't find an official Lineage ROM, or I'd probably be using that. The battery life with Mokee is quite good and the last version I had installed was extremely stable, although the version I updated to last week crashes almost once a day. Also, unless you make a donation to Mokee, the download will probably be slow as shit. It might be better to go with an unofficial version of Lineage, which is what I used for the first few weeks I had my Z2.
Hudson Hall
Anything new on the Note 8 or mi mix 2?
Eli Nelson
Thinking about getting a Nokia 6 as soon as it realeses in europe. Do you think 230 euros should be spent differently?
Gavin Ross
Just got the Moto G5 Plus on the advice of anons here, having a weird issue and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this. My 3.5mm jack will work perfectly fine with headphones with an inline mic, but if I try to plug in something without the mic it just keeps outputting to the speaker like I haven't plugged anything in. This is fairly annoying as I usually plug up to my car stereo for music while I drive and it's just completely not working. Anyone know of a fix, or am I gonna have to send this thing in for replacement?
Xavier Reed
The P2 is cheaper and better in a lot of ways.
Blake Sanders
Is samsung J1 a good phone? I just want a small phone with a huge battery
Jonathan Fisher
sound quality is good, but I hate the shape because they keep falling out of my ears
Samuel Carter
Where is the P2 under 230€?
Ayden Evans
Phones similar in size to the S4? Looking to upgrade but don't care for the larger phones
Brayden Gray
For what purpose? Wait at least another generation so you actually get a worthwhile upgrade.
Alexander Reed
3 in the UK sells it for 210 pounds which is roughly the same price.
Kayden Rivera
So it's not cheaper then. Also in most of Europe the P2 is closer to 300€
Evan Clark
>Want to get my first soon. I have been using pic related for the last 5 years because poor. >I'm in the US, and settled on Verizon as they are confirmed to work in an area of northern Minnesota where I want to innawoods alone more often. As far as features I don't really give a shit as long as I can shitpost from it and do all the usual normie shit. Willing to spend $500 but this can go higher if the reasons are good enough. >Durability is key for me. >Oneplus 3t. Any other answer is cia nigger trolls. >>oneplus 3t >>verizon >pick one >Oneplus 3t doesn't work with Verizon or something?
So does the Oneplus work with Verizon or not? I like what I see there so if it won't work for me I'd like to be able to move on and find something that will.
Also open to other suggestions.
Nolan Gutierrez
It does not
Eli Torres
>It does not
Well shit.
James Barnes
Just get a Moto G5 Plus
Joseph Phillips
Looking it up right now.
Jordan Kelly
>Just get a Moto G5 Plus I should be asking this. What's the life cycle of a smartphone like? How long can one be used before its hardware is too fucking obsolete to do anything?
Anthony Bailey
>he bought a G6 >an inferior phone that people will mistake for an S8 Literally why? It's literally nigger tier, and you have to walk around with it for 2-3 years
Hudson Campbell

Is this a good reason to switch to iPhone, at least for a little bit? So I can lean the ins and outs of iOS a bit better so I can actually do my job and stuff.
Andrew Walker
>Is this a good reason to switch to iPhone no, it's not. "I'm not familiar with iOS but ________ is," where you proceed to find _________ and get their help, is the appropriate response
Brody Edwards
That's exactly what I've been doing, but it still makes me feel like an idiot.
Elijah Ortiz
I used to work retail myself. The onus is on you. I learned a shitload that I didn't have to because people were going to keep asking me questions anyway.
Christian Smith
It shouldn't, you're admitting you aren't knowledgeable about one subject and helping people get a better answer
Better yet, if your boss asks you to change, you can always ask for a free/loaner iphone to train with and carry it around as a second device/leave it at home to play with
Chase Wright
If you believe that the PRIV will ever receive Android O then I have a bridge to sell you.

Christopher Wilson
Really disappointed with the fact that they KeyOne has a 625 processor desü.
What were they thinking?
It's 2 years old by now and the phone isn't even out yet.
Lincoln Diaz
anyone hyped for the umidigi crystal?
Camden Rodriguez
>2 years old by now No it's not. SD625 was announced in February 2016 and the first phone to use it was released in June 2016 so it's been out less than a year.
Oliver Ward
What the fuck Can someone tell me if my battery is nearly dead or this is an Android feature?
Jayden Adams
Welcome to memedroid(tm).
Joseph Collins
What does a used Z2 or Z3 cost nowadays?
John Johnson
On my third LG V10 now due to bootloops. Not due for an upgrade until November but considering jumping from Verizon to Sprint when the Keyone comes out. Sick of Samsung/LG bullshit, and I'm not going to buy a Chinkphone. I was almost on the verge of going iPhone for my next device, but the Blackberry might hold me back.
Nolan Howard
Yes user of course, I plan to stick with this one a couple years more actually if it still keeps up. Thanks.
Jackson Cruz
A couple years at least. The 625 is a fine SOC and 3gb of RAM is bretty good too, more than 4 being a meme IMO. I'm and it's a nice phone btw.
Andrew Lee
I honestly see no difference besides the processor. If anything it nearly feels like a downgrade because of the worse battery and smaller screen. I'm perfectly ok with the G4, though i might upgrade to G6 if it seems promising enough and carries a substantial enough increase in specs.
So I went and did it; I turned in my phone, restarted my lease on an iPhone 7, and holy SHIT is this thing awful and I deserve everything bad that happens to me
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT
All these freedoms I take for granted on Android are missing on iOS and it's fucking infuriating, and for the first time in my life I've found myself yelling at a phone. I'm going to my backup Android phone fucking stat and I'm returning this. The $50 restocking fee that I'm going to eat is going to be my lesson.
Never again.
Thomas Martinez
What's better between the Zenfone 3 and the XA Ultra? Carrier is ATT
Jack Price
>holy SHIT is this thing awful here My dad has had a couple iPhones and every time I've been able to fuck around with them I really dislike them compared to the Android systems i've been able to play with.
Brayden Ortiz
retard question here, how do i know what version of the G6 i'd be getting?
local store here (australia) is selling the 64gb version but my service provider only has the 32gb, I figured the country would only be given one type
Matthew Myers
At least this was the learning experience I was hoping for.
I've learned that iPhones are fucking garbage.
Joseph Ward
Chilean poorfag here. What can I do with 150 dollars? I readed the installgentoo wiki and the Xiaomi Redmi 4 MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20 looks like the best option for me, it costs like 170 but I can save that. What other options do I have? I just want good storage/fast processing with good audio.
Noah Hughes
Hola, Argentinian poorfag here, this guy again actually Dunno about that Xiaomi but would avoid mediatek, look into Snapdragon devices. 4xx series probably. Something like the G4 play maybe. Also that wiki is far from updated.
