I wonder if I should have waited for the Moto G5S+ rather than get the Moto Z play really cheaply (250$). Oh well.

LG is gooks.

Nevermind bought it. Thanks for nothing le smart phone general.

Invest in a toilet first

>Invest in a toilet first

When will the Qhd display meme end?

Can confirm, I need to take selfies to post on Facebook while shitting on the streets 24x7 user, any actual suggestions would be appreciated

>that pic
looks like companies are turning to Samsung for designs to copy

Get an agm x1. It's rugged enough to shit with, and the battery is huge, or even better get an agm x2 pro for the most up to date specs, microsd slot, huge battery, and rugged durability.

The Z Play is better unless you care about the camera

When the 4K display meme begins

What Samsung phone is it copying?

that glossy back looks like the Bomb 7's

Honor 8 did it first

So my Samsung S7 edge screen is fucked, but the rest is perfect. Should I fork out the cash to fix the screen, or buy a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 for 3/5ths of the price to repair my Samsung screen?

wtf why don't more phones go with vibrant colors

If it's cheaper to buy a used S7 than to fix your current one then it's not worth fixing

Great, because I'm not a photographer and its good enough for me!

First renders of the YotaPhone 3 came out.
It will have mid range specs this time: Snapdragon 625, Adreno 506, 4GB ram, but up to 128GB os internal storage.
Starting from $350.

It's very slightly cheaper to fix my S7e than to buy a second hand mint one.

But a lot cheaper just to get a Xiaomi Note 4 to see me through to my next upgrade

so Chinese companies are the in-thing

5.5inch full hd screen and 5inch 720p e-ink screen on the back.

Probably not worth fixing then

redmi note 4 vs mi 5x?

redmeme note 4

It just makes me wanna wait for the 660 version. When's the note 5 coming out, chinks?

Should I get a Redmeme Note 4 or the Axon 7

Worth paying extra for the superior phone?

Nokia 7 when

best smartphone that one can buy right now?

no iCock phone please.

It's in the OP

If you want second best, the pixlel.

Axon 7

xiaomi mi 6

Chink is for china and Taiwan
Gook is for Korea and Vietnam
Nippon is for Japan

Xiaomi is chink botnet
LG is nippon bootloop

LG is korean

i am tempted to get an lg v20 what's the verdict ?
also why would anyone get an lg g6 instead as the v20 got better camera for same speccs
my other options are
>honor 9
>axon 7
>samsaung s7
all roughly same price btw

Gook loop then.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NOKIA 7 YOU GUYS PROMISED ME

Suuuffering...

Honor 9

You could have just cut the SIM card smaller

Had that idea as well, i did it when changing from mini to micro, worked fine. But it doesnt seem to fit with micro to nano, the metal parts are bigger than the holding mechanism.

the metal parts are just connectors. the actual chip is tiny

Femanon here
I've cut a microSIM to a nano-SIM before and it was easy. You can get pre-made SIM cutters that will cut it for you, you just need to press down. No need to news about with scissors.

What does being female have to do with cutting sim cards?

small hands make it easier ?

its just the trannyposter you should have femanon filtered by now user

My mom literally cut her sim card with a scissor and 1/3 of the yellow chip as well. It worked. lol

When will they make the perfect phone?

7nm chipsets will come out before this.

Galaxy S8 Active

Fuck off

Axon 7

Redmeme note 4 has 4100mAh

Not smartphone related per se, but is there a guide for the smallest tablet one can get that's not an iPad mini?

pixel 2 ditches the 3.5 mm port

gsmarena.com/cases_reveal_google_pixel_2_design_say_goodbye_to_the_35mm_headphone_jack-news-26535.php

welp time to switch to ios

Why did they have to make it so ugly? It's almost perfect

>welp time to switch to ios
uhh...

mi pad 3 or a phablet

Thats like saying every full metal body smartphone is a copy of the One M7

Thinking of getting a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. What do we think of it, and can someone that has it tell me their thoughts of it

I'm guessing T-Mobile is still pure shit in rural areas though

Is there a way to get webm to open in browser on iPhone or is vlc my only option?

do you have sauce on the gasoline marauder?

well they're all made in China anyway...

>iPhone
LOL

>Is there a way to get webm to open in browser on iPhone

you telling me that they still dont have webm support in iOS10? This is ridiculous.

dear /spg/, I need advice:

-looking for chinkphone (Huawei, Xiaomi etc) with Android
-should have 4GB Ram
-Dual Sim and MicroSD with 256GB storage possible
-Camera should be """"good""""
-Should have 3.5mm headphone jack
-Preferably not a phablet, unless same spect with smaller size is more expensive

Basically, whats the cheapest phone that meets these conditions?

...

Fucking Pajeet devs not releasing kernel sources..got their thread closed...feels good man

Note 4 or Max 2(Xiaomi)

damn right smug anime robot.

A good phone for $140? Preferably with a good SoC that's not an underpowered SD625.

Nokia 1011

But that is a phablet. And my note 5 just broke, which is why I need a new phone in the first place.

I don't want to use the phone for watching TV or excessive browsing. And a large screen drains the battery faster, is heavier and easier to break. In fact, I would prefer a phone with a removable battery - not because I carry a second one woith me, but because the impact of a falling-down phone is reduced when the battery pops out, so it does not bend and break the screen.

2/2

Unfortunately the only phones with removable batteries and 265gb microSD-slots are from LG and cost 400 Euros and I am more in the 250 Euro range.

Buy Redmi 4 128gb version, it has a non removable battery though.

Because it's a rugged phone for real men, not some fashion piece for trendy faggots

Looks price nice, the design and the fingerprint scaner, and the price too.

OpenSignal unfortunately doesn't publish Coverage details. Availability is measuring what % of the time a user has 4G coverage.

Honor 8

No sauce senpai. Sorry.

I have an "upgrade" this month and I've been thinking about switching to android. What would be an a better choice from iPhone 6S+? Note 8 or G8+. I'm with T-Mobile if that even matters.

Keep this shitpost in /csg/

Moto G5 has a removable battery

>Moto G5 has a removable battery

i take that battery out and smear it on my face

so good

there's a Safari wrapper app called Merlin that opens webms inline. There's also a Sup Forums app called The Chan. Both cost money (like 1 or 2 bucks iirc) and aren't anywhere as great as Clover but if you absolutely must phonepost on iOS they're your best bets.
