Would you buy a ThinkPad phone? What is the current ThinkPad

>old, cheap smartphone that still can do anything and has a lot of cheap replacement parts
Galaxy S2.

>>62199608
One plus one, Samsung Galaxy S2 to S4 or Xiaomi Mi3

>>62200112
I'm also thinking on some Motorola. Probably Motorola moto g 2014, or moto x.
Ultimately I would pick one plus 3t in a few years. It is now 300€. In 2 years you can expect it being selled at 200€. 3400 battery. Good 1080p Amoled display. Great camera. Good design. Great community support. 4g lte. Nfc, snapdragon 821, 6gb ram lpddr4.

>I'm also thinking on some Motorola. Probably Motorola moto g 2014, or moto x.

Would the G4 Play be a contender?

>>62199608
Moto G.
>cheap
>powerful enough for everything but high end gaymes
>no meme features
>durable
>great community / modding support
It's literally owned by lenovo now too.

Moto G, hands down.

>>62201517
> no nfc

yeah, this is actually a deal breaker for me. Also they made the phone a 6" device..

With that said, I have my eye on the XZ1 Compact.

>>62199665
How easy it is to replace screen on sgs2?

>tfw Lenovo is retarded and won't bring ThinkPad aesthetics to mobiles

>>62201690
Why would you need NFC when contactless cards are a thing?
I'd rather not give jewgle all my purchase history and be unable to pay for things when my phone dies.

>>62199608
I like the Blackberry Keyone, if one were to think of the high end brand that C level executives would use. One could also argue the HTC One.

>>62201690
Pray tell, what do you use the NFC for?

I don't think I've ever used mine

>>62201778
Android Pay

>>62201742
NFC's useful for more than shitty gimmicks like using your phone to buy a soda.

There is no 'ThinkPad' of phones. Its not normal to user-service a phone. A phone is not a general purpose computer and should be kept as simple as possible to do the task.

The ThinkPad of phones, if any, is the iPhone.

>>62201818
>What are you using NFC for? Legitimalely curious.
>I never really used it much outside of trying it out.
this

i use an iphone SE and never had to use the nfc thingy

>>62199608
Unless Lenovo bought BlackBerry, revived BB10OS, and released a good phone with a keyboard, no.

What is the current Moto G 2nd gen?

>>62199608
That photo just made me think how awesome it'd be to have a thinkpad NUC minicomputer

>>62201778
Android Pay, I use it to buy random shit + pay for public transport. It means I don't have to carry any cards to work.

>>62202635
It is a Lenovo battery pack.

It's a ThinkPad Power Bank. Look it up nigger.

>>62201778

>reddit spacing
I think you're lost friendo

Nexus 5?

>>62201763
do you have the keyone? if so, how do you like it? am poorfag so I can't get one but i think it looks like the ideal phone and am interested in what people who have one think about it

>>62202681

You know, I wouldn't mind rotary dial on my phone. Had SE phone with analog jog, as well as Jordana PDA with one and it was awesome way to scroll text.

>>62201833
>>62201934
can i open doors with nfc?

>>62203200
If they use RFID at 13.56MHz. ISO/IEC 18000 Section 3.

>those shopped bezels

why?

>>62201932
I would seriously consider buying this

>>62201932
If it could fit in my messenger bag, I would unironically buy this.

>>62201123
I fucking hate mine. Despise it.

>>62199665
more like S5

Moto G4 Play. That is the Thinkpad of phones.

>>62203877

I actually learned what reddit spacing is the other day, it's not that

>>62204862

One of the following:
Nexus S

Galaxy S2
Galaxy Note

Galaxy S3
Galaxy Note 2

>>62204936
no it's to do with a very specific blank line, not just putting blank lines between every line

>>62199608
>Would you buy a ThinkPad phone?

Hell yeah, assuming it has:

- external battery with power bridge.
- track point.
- docking port.

Shit would be awesome.
But unfortunately nobody will make this unless Apple does it first.

>>62205176
Not him but please elaborate.

I never got that meme.

>>62199608
Besides the logo this aesthetic is kino

>>62205176
sure m8

>>62205264

I didn't either until anon explained it to me, apparently on reddit you have to do a double end line character to end a quote, >so if you're greentexting
>like this
>then you don't even need the meme arrows every line, because the greentext rolls over from line to line until you do one of

these
so if you want to spot the redditor, look for someone who

this

I wouldn't buy it just for the brand, but if the phone ended up meeting my use case, then perhaps.

The brand would be cool, though. A ThinkPad phone with great build quality and design- something along the lines of the ZX Premium, maybe. Official Lineage OS support, removable battery and a MicroSD card slot would make it a serious contender in my books, although I can live without a removable battery.

>>62205334
this

>>62205334
Ah, thanks.

>>62203526
after all the shilling and people jerking the passport I kinda want one

Would it be feasible to have a modular phone where you can upgrade parts like ram, screen, cam, etc...? Has any company tried this so far?

>>62205535
It just wouldn't be small, and fuck optimisation

>>62205530
It's great, only real issue I have with it is the IPS display

I hope this fat fuck becomes that phone

Blackberry Q10 or Passport

90% of this board couldn't replace a phone screen without fucking it up

>>62199608
MacBook is a ThinkPad of RaspberryPis

>>62199608
Get the Lenovo K6. It's cheap, looks like a Redmi Note 3 and has at least the Lenovo brand name on it :^)

>>62199608
You can buy a Verizon Moto E4 for $40 and unlock it for $5. Probably the best sub $50 phone I've ever bought brand new.

you're all acting like these phones have easy to replace lcd's for someone who has never done repairs on phones before

>>62205839
Also
>decent rom community

>>62205598
I fucking hate that we didn't get the same phone but with android and updated specs instead of the keyone. The form factor looks sexy as fuck

>>62199608
Probably some sort of a semi outdoor phone with decent specs that isn't too big and is decently built. I'm thinking Blackview but I never had one. Marketing looks good though https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=484&v=HL847Knp1VQ

The Motorola Droid 4 is pretty nice. Lineage 14 works quite fast on it.

>>62203877
Only thing is the battery

iPhone or Moto G is the ThinkPad of phones. If you say anything Samsung you're wrong (b/c quality).
