lads............... anyone have first hand experience with meizu phones?
Ayden Hughes
I want to HUG Kirino ^-^
Carter Morales
The Sony phones look much more ergonomic at least. There is a thickness bump though. The old sharp slabs looked nice but that was it.
>...............
Nicholas Perez
Mi A1, yay or nay?
Cameron Long
thick bezel.
sony > all
Carter Torres
I really hate the look of it, but I can't blame Sony. Many reviewers and outlets never considered Sony phones because of how dated they are in looks and not appealing to a more mainstream audience. But I'll miss the block design and will enjoy my XZ1c to the end of time.
Elijah Lee
that shit looks like budget tier lenovo. the lenovo moto phones look better.
Andrew Stewart
>..both devices are now confirmed to soon receive Android Oreo worldwide, off the back of Google’s announcement of Android Enterprise Recommended. Both devices are in the program, and so are held to higher standards from Google.
>The Android Enterprise Recommended program has a few, simple rules. The device will receive mandatory security patch updates within 90 days, there are minimum specifications. and an unlocked edition of the device must be purchasable. There are other criteria too, but LG abides by all of them. As a result, it’s likely beneficial for the company to upgrade its devices and thus be promoted as part of the program to the business sector, especially when we’ve seen the company’s profits falling in the last year. Updating to Android Oreo adds more to the long-term appeal of the devices.
>It is unknown if any of LG’s other offerings will receive the update too. It’s also interesting to note that the device will be going straight to Android 8.1 Oreo, and not just 8.0. This is significant, as many other device manufacturers have opted for 8.0, with only Google, Nokia, and Essential being among the few companies updating their devices to Android 8.1. It’s not as if there are a huge number of changes in the latest version of Android, however, as it’s mostly just an incremental upgrade over Android 8.0 Oreo.
>We don’t know when we’ll actually see the update, but it should be coming soon. It should be safe to assume that we’ll see the update within the next weeks, especially given we’ve received the announcement now.
So..on the long run this is good news, right? I mean at least the G6 and V30 will also get Android 9 (hopefully)
Levi Sullivan
Any idea when Lineage os 15 comes official to redmi note 4? I was thinking about changing miui to it after it comes and get Oreo. Also should I root my phone at the same time? Or is there some downsides to rooting?
Christian Kelly
A mix of the worst of Huawei, Motorola and HTC. Absolutely disgusting
I will forever miss the omnibalance design. ;_;
David Moore
How useful is the S pen actually on galaxy note phones? Unsure if I should go for the S9+ or wait for the Note 9
Easton Myers
why care for oreo for any reason other than treble?
Daniel Parker
she's 14!
Jace Cook
Perfect age

that's a problem! (unless you live in germany where the age of consent is 14)

Joshua Turner
opinions on BQ Aquarius X Pro?
Daniel Lee
why do americans hate android so much? will I get bullied if I go there with my android phone?
Juan Butler
>Form over function >Fingerprint on the back instead of the more convenient power button on the side
Easton King
The fingerprint/power button I'll give ya, but it was pointless since that was disabled on the US version. Yes I know you could flash EU firmware but most people don't do that.
Nathaniel Roberts

Logan Torres
the girls here in germany always say "Samsung charger" lmao
Ian Butler
If it's anywhere as comfy as my 2014 Moto x, then I think I found my new phone Good ergos > muh premium flat slab
Also >Tfw we'll never get a phone as customizable and comfy as Moto maker era Moto phones
Luis Carter
What's wrong with Sony?
Jonathan Reyes
I used a Meizu MX9 (I think it was an MX9) in China. It was awful. >phone consistently died at 53% battery >8 cores, still slow as fuck I mean, it was really the previous owner and not the phone, but I will never be able to wrap my head around how slow it was when it should have been faster. Also I was literally in China, and the previous owner was Chinese, there were so many fucking apps.
Just don't expect a lot from a Meizu phone user.
Jacob Gomez
>typing on a wobbly phone
I have a Moto G3 so I know what you're saying. I wish there was an iPhone case similar to the G3's texture
Camden Lewis
>mfw a goddamn bottle of perfume decided to drop on my phone and shit the screen completely >mfw it's it's sunday and not a single one of the nigger tier repairers will work >it's a xiaomi in a country where it's literally the most exotic brand imaginable
if tomorrow the nigger doesn't work or doesn't have a screen to replace, i demand nothing less than the deletion of this universe
Josiah Diaz
e srbine
Aiden Martinez
Also it's a little annoying if you occasionally use your phone left handed.
Liam Moore
>Being so damn lazy that you can't pick up your phone The sides made that thing ez to pick up and I'm holding it more than having it on a table, so in hand ergos win again.
Wyatt White
because theyre numismatic niggers that pay 5 times their monthly income for a piece of shit they'll have to replace in a year
Christian Nelson
Yeah it is a lot easier to pick up than all the flat backed phones that's for sure. I hated picking up the iPhone. But seriously the back texture on the Moto G3 is awesome.
Hudson Fisher
because their apps are usually inferior and the android fanbase prides itself on being special snowflakes
Literally anyone with a brain here uses Android. The only people who use Apple phones here are airheaded housewives, ghetto trash, and hipsters.
Evan Scott
is there an open-source button remapper for samsung (to disable capacitive keys) for non-rooted devices? I know there are some on the playstore, but the ones i found aren't open-source which makes then seem shady, especially with the permissions they need to function.
Jaxson Carter
is 6.5 hours of sot good on a 2 years old oneplus 2?
Nathaniel Fisher
Yeah but that is unofficial still.
Nolan Peterson
Yeah that's how it should be When it's unofficial then based on users development could mean a while.
Zachary Moore
>samsung uploading their reveal video a day early to their official youtube channel explain?????????
Alexander Butler
in a g6 what do I get on oreo 8.1 that isnt on nougat 7.0? I got this phone as a gift but i dont really know shit about phones
Cooper Diaz
>galaxy s9 is literally just s8 with new software features Why is this allowed?
James Taylor
I believed it was leaked first. youtube.com/watch?v=gxXiK2jJJAk When phones come out each and every year, there's little to change but specifications.
David Jenkins
samsung should use stock Android, would make them the best in the market
Joseph Richardson
I hope treble will make this possible
Andrew Roberts
new software, new memory, new storage, new camera, sometimes new glass. that's what new phones are you dip shit.
Josiah Hill
Yes the s9 has new software as opposed to the s8, not it doesn't have the rest of the things you listed. Can you read?
Brody Russell
I'm bored of my iphone 7.
I've had an iphone since the 4 just because it's what I used.
Now i'm looking at going back to android.
>Want a good build >Good camera >Not gonna over heat in my hands
I'm buying off of swappa or some used phone.
Don't really want a samsung though.
>TFW I really miss windows phone and hate it had to die.
Austin Murphy
Should i buy an A1 now or wait for the rumored A2 (6X) that will be announced at MWC
Benjamin Harris
*hugs*
Asher Brooks
Price? Size? Region? Uses? Wait for MWC.
Isaac Fisher
The new mi a2 is coming in autumn. Mi A1 isn't even 1 year old yet.
Benjamin Miller
samsung and the pixel have the best cameras but horseshit batteries, oneplus pretty close in the camera department with a better battery. then there's chinkshit which has great battery and half decent cameras. and phones in between.
Christopher Anderson
any good 5" or 5.2" phones with a good camera and LCD screen?
Anthony Wright
no
Adam Barnes
Sorry. Price: 400ish? I figure it shouldn't be too much used. Size: Doesn't really matter Region: US - Verizon cucker Uses - Maps, phone calls, texts, camera. No gaming and no stupid meme social media apps.
Luke Green
having verizon really cuts out a lot of options. they don't even let you activate phone models that they sell unless you buy it from them.
Jacob Hernandez
The Note is one of the, if not the best, handheld on the market. They pen comes in extremely handy and the more you learn it the more useful and productive it becomes.
Don't fall for the Sup Forums memes against "flagships." There's a lot of broke ass 19 year old college kids here who shit on anything they really want but can't afford. That's why you see so many "bruhs what I can't get for under 50 cents that doesn't suck?" questions.
Mention "flagship" here and their jealousy turns to rage and endless shitposts calling you stupid for not limiting yourself to some shitty $200 meme phone or Chinese knockoff.
The Note Series DESTROYS almost every other Android based device on the market. The only real completion, in my opinion, are the IPhone X and maybe Google's Pixel - of course and the Samsung S series.
Wait for the Note 9. You won't be disappointed. Now.... here come the memes, larping, and shitposts from the brokefags listing all the "negatives" of the Note and or Soy and iShit rants.
Juan Sanchez
I hate how they don't do anything to improve the poor battery life offered in flagships - nobody will make a thicker phone to accommodate a better battery. The average mixed use expectation these days is like 70 hours. The real retarded and obvious price cutting tactic for manufacturers is the battery and they use the handset's 'bulky' dimensions as an excuse. But the 5.5" Moto Z Play with a 3,500mah is smaller than any of the iPhone 7/8 Plus and it also has a headphone jack.
Tyler Myers
I've never had a phone( im a poorfag but I own a tablet and had an ipod touch) I've got a Mi a1 coming on tuesday, what should I install on it when it comes?
William Cox
>broke ass 19 year old college
Idk I see more young millennials these days with expensive phones from BOGO deals because they're on plans with their family. Flagships aren't stupid it's just the prices are getting out of hand for what they're offering. And after you've had your fill with mid-ranges and grown tired of their eventually surfacing faults then you start considering paying $700+ for something that actually will work for everything that people expect phones to do these days. In the end people will shell out the money for peace of mind and the support the manufacturers will offer. Taking a gamble on some chinese phone is fine and if it works well to someone's liking that's great for them. Those batteries will die pretty fast and if they're able to stretch the device out to 2 year's of use then they'll have enough neet bux saved to buy the next iteration.
The Note 9 is going to be over $1,100 new and just like Samsung always does the months-later discount will probably put it around $900.The S8 was $720 retail and 4 months later it was going for $575 which helped Samsung gain some in the mobile market along with their abundant budget and midrange offerings.
Camden Diaz
Moto X4 Buy a case and screen protector. You want to protect this phone as repair and buying a new phone is probably something you aren't looking forward too.
Henry Hill
Which plan should I get?
Nolan Thompson
Agreed. I was just warning the poster not to allow Sup Forums's notorious meming against flagships.
You pointed out something very true. If he waits some months after the Note 9 comes out, he'll likely be able to get it for much less than it's original release price.
I don't like the rising costs of phones either, but sadly there's not much you or I can do about it when the best majority will buy them, as you said, through some plan they're on with their carrier.
My point is that something like an iPhone X or Note Serious will last for many years if taken care of. The power of the Note just can't be beat.
I suppose in some way it's like buying a Ford Focus or a Lincoln Navigator. Sure, the Focus will get the job done, but if you can afford the Navigator and prefer it's raw power that dwarfs the Focus... then go for it and fuck everyone else.
Elijah Thomas
i got a moto E4 which is compatible with verizon it's fully unlocked. they wouldn't activate over their system with a brand new sim card.
Austin Fisher
p sure a focus rs will beat a navigator. why are you comparing an SUV to a sport compact lol
Carter Butler
Just how old are you? No way you're over 18. You do know you have to be 18+ to post here legally by the rules, right?
Xavier Rivera
Useless. Just get a S8+ or S9+, they cucked the new Note by giving it a smaller battery than the S.
Nolan Campbell
>it's raw power that dwarfs the Focus
2017 Focus has 30hp less but weighs 2,500lbs less than the Navigator. Are you over 50 years old posting on an anime imageboard or something?
Brayden Jones
So my brother gave me his S8+ cause he got tired of android and went back to iOS. Another reason is that the camera doesn't work, just gives a camera failed error.
Thankfully I work in a phone repair shop so I'm going to see if maybe the cameras can be replaced. If not, then the motherboard would have to be replaced. Is it worth keeping at that point?
Gavin Evans
I'm not going to aruge with some 15 year old rule breaker. I know you got the point and are just trolling the lulz now, but I'm out.
Wyatt Davis
>still implying a Lincoln Navigator beats a Focus RS
I'm 28 and I remember when the Focus was garbage but it's not 2002 anymore grandpa.
Angel Phillips
What cheap United States carriers do people recommend for unlocked phones?
Brayden James
How easy would it be to get a new board? How much would it cost?
Zachary Campbell
>have sony xz premium i kinda want it to have less bezel. the 4k hdr screen is nice at least and camera is serviceable
Ayden King

Blake Wright
no 3.5mm no buy but bye bye bye bye sony
David Sanchez
You do realize that USB C supports analog audio just the same as a 3.5mm jack, right?
Carter Jackson
Need a recommendation. USA T-Mobile, not looking to break the bank. Was looking at OnePlus 3T, but am not sure. Will definitely be installing a custom ROM and Ricing
Camden Scott
>simple mobile Never touching that scum again since they cut my 4g because I was "violating terms of service" by using more than 1 gb of data a month on an "unlimited" 4g plan.
Nathaniel Cruz
but i dont want to carry adapters around
Liam Torres
>It's literally just an HTC phone Imagine dropping the ball this hard. Can't wait for the XZ premium price drop. That red one looks like hot fire.
Levi Barnes
that's a proto from last year dude
Wyatt Nelson

It was only 2 years old, it fucking sucks.
Sebastian Clark
rumour is mi a2 will use their in house xiaomeme chipset and mali gpu i won't recommend it if the rumour is true
Blake Smith
>break redmeme screen waiting for bus >pay for new one before bus arrives I love technology
Owen Russell
How expensive is the screen for redmeme and is it easy or hard to replace?
Chase Adams
MWC is a day away. Might as well just wait to see what happens.
Juan Fisher
>Galaxy S9 is gonna be a thousand fucking dollars
Gabriel Nguyen
>Galaxy SX is gonna be $1 million easy
Lincoln Green
What? When did this happen? I use data for voice calling constantly in iOS and go well over 5gb a month in just that app alone, how do you violate any unlimited 4G plan
Jason Morris
~30 bucks and I've never tried
Ethan Sanders

Mason Anderson
is the mi unlock tool windows only?
