Note 4x is the snapdragon version released in China Note 4 Global is meant for EU/US use
Hudson Gonzalez
If your plants are tall and spindly, they're probably not getting enough sun, they aren't big enough to need replanting. Should ask for advice on your mint on or they both have threads dedicated to growing plants.
Ayden Martinez
that's all there's to it?
Connor Williams
Anybody know which of the USB magnetic cables is not shit?
Jack Mitchell
Yeah just different bands, that's all
Ryan Nguyen
ah damn. I have to admit, I kinda wanted to go down from 5.5" to 5", I just like the slim look/feel. I like the Mi5 for it's size too, but I can't have any issues with GPS. Regarding battery: If it runs for a whole day, I'm basically good. Or does "better" also refer to "less likely to blow up"?
Isaac Wright
Yes pretty much.
Connor Evans
All right, thanks for the rundown.
Joshua Martin
If you want 5" get a Redmi 4 Prime/Pro, same specced phone with a slightly lesser quality camera than the Note 4x/Global only problem with the prime is that there's no Global version for it yet.
Battery life is great and will last you almost two days.

mintfag here. they still need to be replanted, cause I cant keep them supported and standing upright and the cardboard planter needs to be actually planted soon.
but yes, they are getting more sunlight as they can.
Eli Hill
Why the heck would you sign up with your real name on an account like that?
I'm guessing this is the one you're talking about?
Evan Adams
It's usually good practice to match receiver's name with the name on the mailbox, especially in apartment buildings. Didn't want to cause any unneeded confusion by using a pseudonym. And when I created the account, I thought anything I bought would be between me and the seller.
Andrew Howard
Thats not mint...
Parker Gray
The GPS on the Redmis aren't any better than the Mi5. You might as well get the Mi5 if your budget allows. It also has great support for LineageOS, unlike the Redmi 4 Pro which has none.
The Redmi 3 Pro's Lineage OS is pretty flawless as well.
Evan Carter
if GPS is an issue, I almost feel "forced" to go with the ZUK Z2 - GPS is like the second most important thing for me (I run and stuff).
Nicholas Bailey
Yes. Just make sure it works for your country networks, but it's hard to go wrong with either phone.
Justin Garcia
thanks bud. I'll do some more research (looks like some of the GPS fuckery can be relieved with different custom roms, though not sure if that makes sense), but you helped me down narrow it down to those two phones. Godspeed.
Jonathan Bailey
I have the Redmi Note 4x for a couple of months now, used GPS on my commute to and from work and it works great.
See pic related, the battery life of my Note 4x after nearly two days of use (including 4G, GPS and paired to a bluetooth receiver while driving) let it go to 9% before finally charging it again.
Blake Barnes
yeah, I mean I got an Mi5 for my gf about two weeks ago and she has zero issues with the GPS (tested it a bunch myself). At the same time there really is a ton of feedback online where people report that their Xiaomi phones (Mi5 and Redmi 4 models) have super fucked GPS. I guess I don't feel like rolling the dice when it comes to that? At least right now with the knowledge I have.
William Robinson
putting one more question out there:
ZUK Z2 vs. Redmi 4 Prime/Pro - who wins here regarding durability? Can't find any good drop test videos or anything.
Carter Bailey
volume buttons and sim tray is rattly on the zuk, also the glass back gets scratched fast without a skin/case. only get the zuk if you want better performance t. zuk z2 owner
Mason Smith
The Zuk z1 had GPS problems when looking up feedback online that were never addressed or fixed and now ZUK is a dead company. I wouldn't buy their phones anymore simply because they're dead and done for.
Dylan Carter
Redmi 4 doesn't have a glass back and wins this easily.
Zachary Turner
scratches and stuff don't really bother me to be honest. My Oneplus One kinda showed itself to be pretty resilient. I mean I never dropped it straight into concrete from chest level, but it definitely survived a few drops on wooden floors and stuff. Not sure if I just got lucky (been using that rugged old fuck for 3 years now) but I came to expect the same thing from my next phone, you know?
Colton Butler
Do you wish to you had a microsdcard slot? Because that tends to be the deal breaker for me desu.
Jaxson Rivera
The arrival of my KZ-ATEs is imminent. It also looks like my chink laser pointer has shipped, too.
Sebastian Morales
what I'm saying: I care about "screem shatter resistance", not scratches and shit.
Camden Thompson
Recommendations for a good chink memory stick?
Ryder Mitchell
I'm new to CSG; what's the benefit of using cheap Chinese stores over local cheap stores? I wanted to buy a new pair of earphones and some cheap shirts, but the price for cheap Chinese crap looks the same on AliExpress as if I went to my local phone shop or Amazon.
Xavier Russell
Customs office on strike in my country, fuck
Nolan Campbell
gernerally don't buy clothes on ALi unless you are a weeb. You can get 1$ earphones that are decent and for 25 $ you will get an amazing pair of earphones that are better than any 50$ set at your local shops
Chase Gomez
Pretend to be a scab, grab your package and skedaddle.
Sebastian Edwards

Noah Jenkins
chinkshit is like smalltime gambling. The stakes are low, and if you get a little lucky and do your research you get a good product out of it. It also feeds your/our shopping addiction.
Daniel Martinez
So, generally, the quality is better buying from China than locally, for a given price?
Brody Gonzalez
Reminder that this is the real LunaFukurou and any other tripcode is an imposter. Just checking in on the new thread. How's everyone doing?
Dominic Mitchell
Chile. Fucking customs, they have a lot of royalties and still they want more... I just want my cheap chinese shit
Juan Myers
What are the best android roms out there? And will they stop the chinese spying on me if I have a chine phone?
Gavin Watson
The Redmi 4 Pro has a plastic backing while the Note 4 etc have metal casing
Adam Green
yes.

Threadly reminder to never ever buy the Mi5 or any Xiaomi phone ever again:
Xiaomi has literally fucked up the Mi5 with the last few updates.
During the last few ROM updates, Xiaomi managed to fuck up literally everything. Currently I am personally facing:
1. GPS sometimes locks, sometimes it doesn't, and it's unsure for how long it stays locked. Also, it almost never works when plugged in to my car's QC charger.
2. Super high idle battery drain. It used to be awesome, now it loses 10-15% every night while just sitting.
3. Ram issues, apps seem to close way faster than before.
4. I cannot use Bluetooth to play music anymore, it's broken. Before you ask, I've tried 2 different speakers and a headset, paired/unpaired/reset everything, no result.
5. I cannot use a wired headset to talk, as the mic doesn't work. Tried 3 different headsets, and 2 of them were Xiaomi (piston 3s and hybrids).
6. Google Now/Assistant doesn't work properly. Always some weird permission bs when you try to play a song / navigate home / set an alarm etc. Practically unusable.
7. Overheats af if just loaded with apps with a ~25 degree ambient temp. I've seen the 45 degree warning quite a few times.
8. The performance has degraded rapidly. Sometimes it feels like my old HTC One M8, with the sluggishness to switch apps and the inability to even draw some apps without 5 seconds passing with a blank screen. It even freezes up on the Google Now launcher when pressing the home button when it's loaded..
Your local shop carries rebranded Chinese crap or proprietary crap made in china.The amount of times that stuff changes hands is insane and jacks up the price significantly, and the people making money off it are slimeball middlemen. By cutting out the middlemen you save money. Some chinks have US/EU warehouses and resellers if the month+ shipping is an issue. Buying from them is usually more expensive, but the price is not as bad because the number of times an item changes hands with them is still much lower - so effectively it's just paying for faster, more reliable shipping.
The exceptions to this are a few items chinks can't seem to get right, and if you can get legitimate honest made-in-(your country) items, which are usually worth the extra cost longterm due to contributing to your own country's economy.
Andrew Thomas
It's from yesterday. Did you even click the link? Read the comment section too, he's not the only one complaining. the latest global ROM butchered everything.
The GPS is faulty regardless, there are a million threads on MiUI forums about it. It *might* work outside but does not work in car 99.9% of the time.
just a heads up for potential buyers. don't be fooled by the cheap price and specs.
Hunter Wood
Addendum: Amazon has chink shit too but for more money. Chink graphic T-shirts and plain, normal clothes can be OK. Chink "high fashion" is a huge gamble as a lot looks really dumb when not on a model.
PROTIP: Always buy 2 sizes larger at minimum when buying chink clothes unless you are a malnourished rice field dweller.
Ryder Wood
>a bluetooth module for the KZ-ZST? yes. >can be bought separately? no. but even the ones selling together with the earbuds themselves, seems like they're out of stock / being a MeMe.
Good luck for you as well.
I bought these:
100 pcs Japanese Rainbow Hemp Seeds Rare Flower Seeds 2017 New Varieties Bonsai Hemp Plants Vegetable Seed For Home Garden s.aliexpress.com/vyIvuUrE
This seller was really communicative. Their seeds seem to come out last from the soil. First she(?) told me that the THC content were 5%, then she told me it was 20%. I have a reason to believe her, but may be chinking me, she(?) became real hideous after that, but still being really responsive, with quite decent english knowledge. I ordered the color "green". I wouldn't trust any other color anyways, especially after some user recently got to know colors were only a meme (non-existent). For distinguishment, I'd like to call these seeds "5". This was written on the small zip-lock bag with a marker. The other side it had a sticker saying "Hemp" on it.
100 Pcs Indian Hemp seeds,Multi Color Flower Seeds,Home Garden Planting Seeds s.aliexpress.com/I7RzeIJR
This was the other seed seller. "Color" 8 and 16. He didn't write a fucking message besides some (probably automatic letters) telling me that I should order more than $2 for him to be profitable for him. Ordered for another 50 cents. Now he's bombing me with double his shitty-grammar automatic shitpostletters. Will see if he had a reason for keeping the THC content a secret.

Any recommended drafting pencils and aluminium ballpoint pens? Is redcircle good?
Christian Green
Ok i bought the exavt same seeds. I grabbed a mixed bag (and 6 other bags).
Cost me 34c or so, and i have grown weed before - all the way to harvest, and the beginning of these seedlings certaintly look like weed. The seeds look like weed seeds too.
And fyi with Hemp - the THC content will probably be less than 1% - basically non existent. But of you are lucky, you may get a female seed in your bunch. As said, its 50c for a hundred.. Its just something fun too do...
My plan is too get a few hundred plants ready, then go plant them in the firests, by rivers, in peoples gardens - and just let them go naturally. Hopefully a few take off and we have wild weed growing around..
I also will be buying a few thousand more seeds soon and filling my bird feeder with them.. Hopefully the migratory birds will eat them amd shit them out all over the place.
Or i could crush them amd make bread..

What's some good wireless earphones /csg/?
I got some qcy 7, which are good, but they're kind of old and I just want something new.
Jeremiah Carter
What's the newest chink meme product to buy?
Ryan Ross
there are lots of products that don't really have a western equivalent (like high impedance earbuds) or are normally prohibitively expensive for the average neet/wagecuck (like ciems) walnut v2s/zhishan z1 are pretty good memes if you like audio stuff
Aiden Brooks
You're a terrible counter shill.
Elijah Ward
I've heard of redcircle before on /csg/. I was eyeing some clone of an aluminium mechanical pencil from them. I'm not sure if I want to cave in and buy it though.

People actually purchased these "multi-colored" hemp plants thinking they would actually get a bright colorful plant?
Holy shit how gullible can you get. Luckily I live in a place where growing this shit is legal, feel bad for you poor fools trying to grow worthless Chinese pot.
But they're in stock user? www.aliexpress.com/item/Pick-ue-for-kz/32787157414.html

Depending on the country you're in they work on T-Mobile.
If you're EU then get a Note 4 Global, if you're Dutch and on T-Mobile you will get 4G even on a Note 4X

I am in the United States. I want the bands to be fully supported, not maybe. I don't want signal to be poor in some areas.

I think you'd be fine in the US with T-Mobile.
Tyler Lee
Like I said, I want bands to be fully supported. Signal can already be poor in some areas, I don't want that to be even worse.

While I agree it's bad practice that the chinks don't value privacy, the account name doesn't need to match the real name you write on the order form in the recipient field.

My separate adapter arrives today, I bought it on Deal extreme of all places, the most OG of chink shit websites.
I think I got in early cos I couldn't find anyone talking about it here or other chink shit places.
Fwiw I messaged the official kz store and asked why they aren't selling it and he said they had QC issues and kz are making an updated version he will sell.
Will post with my update when I get home in 12 hours or so.
Has anyone else got the adapter and tried it ?
