Hey lads. I'm moving to Japan in 3 weeks, and I wanna trade in my old Galaxy 5 for a new android, but I wanna fit in with the phone culture over there. Any suggestions on what phone I should get that is popular in Japan (no iphones please).
>no iphones
How about just one iphone, then?
On a more serious note, I hear flip hones are still common over there

I heard that too, but my filthy western mind would prefer a smartphone

Maybe tell your budget and what you need in a smartphone
>>57135546
I saved up like $600. Honestly, I'm not too picky, I just want a phone that isn't total shit and something popular among Japanese people

>trying to blend into mainstream culture
Just off yourself.

Probaly a sony xperia phone, japanese made.
iPhone is by far the most popular smartphone. However any smartphone is fine nobody uses galapagos keitai anymore.
>>57135414
it should be same as school days flip phones

I won't blend in, I'm a fucking blue eyed blonde dude. I just want to be able to not be totally confusing when I talk about my phone in my basic Japanese, or be able to ask to borrow a charger in case I forget mine. There are advantages to having a fairly common phone
Xiaomi
Seems like such a weird thing to worry about.
This one of those just neckbeard things

fax machine and atm card
whatever phone you think best suits an extremely depressing, oppressive society.
>>57135414
This one.

Make it super cute and genki or else you might get sad and an hero
Your phone won't help you blend in you white gaijin pig.

That's not the flag of Japan, that's the naval emblem of Japan just like the Southern Cross of CSA is the Naval Emblem. This is blasphemy.
>>57135885
he never said it was the hinomaru
>>57135943
Still blasphemy. He said Japan, not the Japanese navy.
Im in japan right now and yes flip phones are pretty common still. Just sell your phone in the US then use the money at a local Joshin store or yahoo mobile. They are everywhere here.

it's not the symbol of the Japanese Navy there is no Japanese Navy. there is a Maritime Defense Force that uses it.
>>57136003
Maritime means sea.
Sea units means Naval Units
Naval = Navy.

it's not allowed to be called a Navy, because of article 9. Japan has no military.
>>57135414
White phones are popular in Japan.
>>57135675
Please KYS
>>57135968
Don't be such a faggot. Literally every one of us know what that flag is, so you're not impressing anyone.
Japan pretty much just uses Samsung shit now. The golden age of interesting Japanese phones is over.
>>57136023
Article 9 is illegitimate, and is not based on the proper constitution of Japan (Which is militaristic).
>>57136068
ah now I see you're just trolling I'm embarrassed it took me so long to realize
