when will xiaomi just release their fucking redmi note 5

How much do Benchmarks affect your decision buying a phone?
Hudson Morris
the question is when will they release an updated looking phone that is better than the RN3P and isn't as expensive as the Mix 1. Fuck, I think I'll get a Mix 1.

looking to get a phone this week for sprint that I can root. don't want an S8 (ha.cking.ch/s8_data_line_locator/#s8-data-line-locator-capabilities) or a OnePlus or any chinese phone for fear of backdoors. do you guys think if I flash a Pixel 2 with a custom ROM that it'll be fine?
Michael Torres
Not much. Hardware, build quality, and custom ROM support interest me much more.
Adam Martin
Some. It must be better than the one I currently have so no feeling of I fucked it up and got a slower phone. I doesn't need to be a beast, like getting a 1080ti after using a GT210 or something like that.
Cooper Turner
It looks great, but that's about it.
Owen Gomez
Moto Z2 Play or Moto X4? Both similarly priced, unless I get the extra battery mod for the Z2 Play. I want an AMOLED screen which the Z2 has, plus extra memory and built in storage, but the X4 has a better processor, IP68 rating and better cameras. Last two are nice but not absolutely necessary. How is the battery life on the Z2 Play without the Mod?
Jordan Cooper
Ordered a Meizu Pro 7 plus, did I fuck up?
Wanted a mediatek phone because of miravision, it looks cool, and I didn't want the last gen x20/x25.
What do you guys think about miravision?

i feel absolutely lost on what phone I should get next. I'm moving from the oneplus one to something else on ting.
Im thinking the moto g 5 is the one?

>not flashing an old phone Pixel 2's os is ok as it already is. Why would you flash a pajeet os, you dumb fuck? It's 2017 and no one is using custom ROMS, what are you, a fucking virgin? Also I'm not sure if that phone's bootloader is unlocked/easy to unlock.

my friend told me that google phones are typically the easiest to root. I want to be able to remove kernel modules I don't need or use, as well as have flexible options for encrypting things.

Why the fuck are they going edge screen with all of their lineup? I have the S7 Edge and it's become the most annoying shit ever.
Hopefully they try something different with the S9

Logan Walker
I unironically think its the ugliest phone on the market. It's too long, the curved edges and nu-male design really don't help it. And a fingerprint sensor BESIDE the main camera is the dumbest shit in the world. The gook who came up with that should be fired.

Hi guys. I am planning to buy a smartphone to use exclusively as my Nintendo hub for GBC, GBA and DS games. I will use this phone as a pseudo game console, and I want it to last as long as possible, and much longer than a smartphone for regular usage would last.
Anyhow, hope you can give me some advice as to what smartphone and specs would I need for such a game hub to last a lot of time. Some things idk:
- Is the android version important? Is there a difference between Android Marshmallow, Nougat and 8.0? I've heard the newer ones are more battery efficient and faster, but does this include gaming or just normal usage? Would it make a difference for a smartphone that is only gonna play emulated Nintendo DS games?
- an AMOLED screen deteriorates quicker than an LCD, and the LCD is a lot more durable. Is it true?
- the most battery efficient processor that would allow me to play NDS games smoothly (without micro stutter, lag, etc) is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625. Is this true? Is it better/more power efficient for my purpose (emulating DS games) than the 626, 630, 636, 660, etc?
- I have heard that a smartphone battery lasts a certain amount of charge cycles, and that it deteriorates slightly with every charge cycle. If that is true, does that mean that, for example, a 4000 mAh battery can in theory last two times more than a 2000 mAh battery?
To explain you what I mean: lets compare 2 hypothetical batteries: a 2000 mAh vs a 4000 one. If I need to recharge the 2000 battery once a day, and the battery can support up to 700 charge cycles before I need to buy a new one, then after 700 days (around 2 years) I would need a new battery, right? So, with a battery twice as big (4000) that I need to recharge once every 2 days (instead of every day) and said battery also suppors around the same amount of recharge cycles, should this battery last around 14000 days? (aka twice longer than the 2000 one)?
Please answer guys.

Burn in is a meme with chink AMOLED phones since they can't reach the brightness of Samsung phones and are much less likely to burn in, that being said, LCD screens look worse but are even less likely to burn in. LCD will look even worse in sunlight or at night...
I'd recommend getting something cheap with a powerful SoC like the LeEco Le S3 which has the Helio X20 Processor in it. It can emulate PSP and NDS just fine and anything earlier with great ease. Android version you'd want is 7.0 or newer desu because of Vulkan.
Stock Android doesn't matter.
Snapdragon 625 is kick ass for that and there are great budget phones with it like the Meizu M6 Note or the Xiaomi Redmi 4x.
Helio X20 phones and SD625 phones are very similar in price. Helio X20 is much faster, Sd625 is much more efficient.

IIRC, marshmallow was the version that introduced a bunch of battery efficiency stuff, and it was mainly about the idle state.
Elijah Diaz
Thinking of doing iOS dev, which iPhone should I get? Looking for something less than 1000$ CAD. Is the SE the best value or a used 7 plus?
Are iOS emulators good enough for dev work? Because I could save money if I just bought android instead.
Thomas Adams
Forgot to add: my budget is 240 euros.
Razor is a lot more expensive than that. Also, since I would only be playing up to DS games, why would I need a powerful Razor phone? DS emulation doesn't require anything more than a SD 6xx afaik?

If you do grab a Oneplus 5T, use a referral code or student discount. If you already graduated and you still have access to your email you can try [spoiler]lying[/spoiler] about your graduation date and get a cool 10% off. If not, just any referral code for $20 USD off, like mine oneplus.net/ca_en/invite#2NWMNSFTUPZ99D

Jackson Adams
the edge screen is literally the best part. it's the defining trait of OLED technology. people who talk shit about it don't know what they're talking about, they never used it in real life.
Jace Wilson
Thanks for answering man!
But since I am not gonna play PSP games on it, only DS or lower, is a Helio X20 worth it over a SD 625-630?
Also, please answer my main doubt. Would a 4000 mAh battery last 2 times longer before I need a replacement battery, than a 2000 mAh battery? My logic is that, if a 2000 mAh battery gets wasted in around 700 days (if it supports 700 recharge cycles and I recharge it once a day), would a battery twice as big last 1400 days (since I would waste a charge cycle once every 2 days, instead of 1 per day?
Parker Wilson
If you plan on using the phone as a dedicated gaming device, why not just buy a 3DS/DS Lite and hack it/get a flashcard?
Elijah Mitchell

My current phone is a Moto 4 Plus if that help with any recommendations or anything
Mason Morgan
Meant Moto G4 Plus oops
Jason Martin
Fuck, I did it.
James Carter
Because I think it is more complicated.
Furthermore, the 3DS/DS is a lot less future- proof. One day the device could stop working and it will be hard to find a replacement for it.
On the other hand, smartphones will keep on being in production, and if I need a new one, there will always be plenty of choice. It is a much more future proof device imo.

Why is the 5T so expensive?
What happened to all the $200-$300 phones?
Joshua Torres
the op5t looks pretty cool, does anyone know what came out of the recent privacy issues they got?
Andrew Carter
>$200-$300 phones? Xiaomi. Get a Note 4 and flash LineageOS on that bitch. Best $150 I spent all year.
Personally I don't understand why all the phones are slowly shifting up in price either. Are poor people becoming less common or what?
Luke Davis
No things are just inflating again. Minimum wages are going up cause everyone wants to be a millionare but don't realize the people they buy stuff and take pay from want to be one too so they charge more for shit and you know. Etc. Etc.
Jose Edwards
Convince me to buy a phone right now, and not buy the new LG G7?
Eli Adams
the LGG7 doesn't have a physical keyboard, which means your shitposting efficiency is going to be reduced.
Connor Scott
Could somebody answer my above questions about battery durability please? It's important.
Jackson Carter
whats the best phone for less than $300?
Jackson Wood
Get a Note8. Posting from one right now. Fits well in my hand. Solid as fuck. I accidentally dropped it the first day without a case and nothing happened. Pocket height. I'm 6ft. Anyway. Nice fucking screen and real estate for it. Perfect for those night time faps. Amazing camera, one of if not the best one on a phone. Stylus is great. Power is amazing. This shit can game better than my T420 and still keep cool. Also LG is shit at phones.
Samuel Cooper
moto g5 plus maybe?
Ayden Murphy
why would someone frugal and reasonable enough to use a T420 as their laptop also waste money on a meme flagship smartphone?
Adam Miller
This.
The reason why I want a LG G7 is because it's great for the money. And I've had a samsung phone for 8 years. I still can't stand the UI and still prefer the Moto Droid X's.
William Long
Is there any videos that have a run down of all the features of the OP5T? Preferably in comparison to other phones in the price range.
Evan Diaz
>Waste money I use it like a lot tho. I wanted the cameras cause I take lots of pics on my phone and snapchat a lot. My phone gets a lot of use and is always on me. i need one i can do everything on fast and reliably and the waterproofing is a huge plus cause it'll let me take pictures around and even inside water and is just plain helpful.
Bentley Hall
The 5t seems fine. Also Razer phone.
Anthony Williams
>Great for the money Shit AMOLED panels compared to Samsung Regional gimping and bullshit plus models releases rapidly after the first launch Immediate, massive price drops Bootloops The worst update schedule this side of pre-google Motorola The only time to get an LG is when they're at least 50% off
The Note is the only phone on the market that comes even close to offering enough to justify it's retarded price and it's constantly on promotion anyways. There's nothing in the high end Android field that touches it unless you've fallen for the curved edges are bad meme
Evan Hall
Is the Pixel 2 better than/comparable to the Samsung s8? I really don't like the look of the s8.
Any limitations to the pixel? I would really appreciate advice. I know next to nothing about pixels but I'm googling and stuff

What I am considering are the following:
- Xiaomi Mi A1 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - ZTE Blade V8 Pro - Huawei P10 lite - Moto 5GS Plus
Which would make the best Nintendo hub console?
I like that Xiaomi Mi A1 is pure Android, but the battery is 3000 mAh only. The The ZTE battery is also similar.
The Mi Max battery is a stellar 5300, but I am concerned the thing might be a bit oversized for my taste.
Idk what to do.
Also I was.hoping the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 could get a sd 630 processor but it is just sd 625, which makes me doubt it will even be an improvement over the Redmi Note 4.
Help me decide guys.

Phone companies are selling less each generation so they have to increase prices to keep investors happy.

Also keep in mind the smartphone should be easy to open to have a battery replacement.
I've heard some brands like HTC are very difficult to open, and therefore a battery replacement is a lot more expensive.
