what are some android phones (midrange, preferably) that support 240fps video capture?

I want to switch from my seasoned iPhone 6 but it's a feature i absolutely need (and no, 120fps is not enough)

>>62371024
iPhone 8, incidentally. At least if the rumors are true

I know this is smartphone general, but I can really use some input on a decent Android Tablet seeing as tablets are pretty much just giant phones anyway. That said I currently have a Samsung Tab A 8" tablet. Works great except for its abysmal 1024x768 screen and lack of RAM. Looking for
>at least 1080p screen
>2GB RAM
>From a major brand (Samsung, LG etc)

I'll avoid asus tablets at all costs because they're garbage. Been burnt on them once in the past already. And unless something has changed, Apple (Ipad in this case) still can't into a 4chan browser or webM support. So that's out of the question. Price range is up to $300. Anything past that and I could honestly just look at a MS surface with an Intel Atom in it.

>>62371134

I have this tablet and I am quite happy with it: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_s2_8_0-7439.php

>>62371134
Samsung, Huawei and Lenovo are basically the only Android tablet manufacturers worth considering. If your main usage is internet browsing and reading I'd look for something with a 4:3 aspect ratio, for watching video 16:9 is preferrable.

>>62371267
>$350
Other than that it seems like a solid choice. I'll keep it in mind thanks
>>62371290
How is lenovo with updates and security patches on their devices? Never owned anything Lenovo other than used chinkpads. I don't want another case of "lol we don't support that device anymore sorry!" Like Asus did with the Zenpad 8.0 that to this day is stuck on Android 5.0 and randomly freezes into a reboot.

>>62371134
Just go to the electronics store, you ultimate loser

>>62371355
>Samsung, Huawei and Lenovo are basically the only Android tablet manufacturers worth considering.
Care to develop ?

>>62371356
It launched with Marshmallow in 2017. That should tell you enough about the update support it'll get.

No Android tablet (outside Pixel C) gets long term update support though, you'll be lucky if you get one major update and some security patches.

>>62371379

The Lenovo P8 is look attractive but I can't seem to find it anywhere like Amazon or Newegg other than being sold out and only shipping from China. and I've never heard of gearbest. The Samsung S2 8.0 is looking more tempting.

>>62371471
True. This is bullshit. Why does support drop off a cliff for tablets? They're just larger phones. Fucking stupid. And Google can suck my dick if they think I'm going to pay $600 for a fucking tablet. It's still running Android which means the same limitations and restrictions.

>>62371356

You have easy access to the US models so you can probably flash it with LineageOS on top of that. I am stuck with a European model which of course means no support either on XDA or LineageOS for custom ROMs for that exact model.

My Samsung S2 tablet got updated to Nougat 7.0 at least.

>>62371553
My Samsung Tab A 8.0 went from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 and that's about it. Judging by the specs and price of the S2, it seems hard to beat. Better CPU, twice the RAM, twice the ROM, and twice the screen resolution.

Now granted it's almost twice the price I paid for my Tab A but eh, what can you do?

>>62371405
well the Android tablet market has really stagnated, there's only a few major companies making them anymore. Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo and Asus is basically all that's left, and a bunch of no-name chink companies making budget crap. Like you said yourself, Asus are pretty garbage (unless they've improved recently), so Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo is basically all that you're left with.

>>62371622

There's also Xiaomi making them but

>wifi only

lel

>>62371599
That S2 is pretty old already (launched in 2015), I'd pick something more recent if you want any updates:

If I don't care about LTE on a tablet, can I consider a Xiaomi a good / better alternative ?

>>62371622
Company I work for has been using ASUS Memo 8 pads for a year or so, now moving to the Zenpad 8s. The Memo pads are functional and work fine for 99% of what people would use them for, but something about the screen is rather fragile. Probably 1 out of 10 ends up with only the back light working after a few months.

No such issues with the Zenpads, and they feel much nicer to use, I thiink they stepped their game up a bit but I only have the two tablets to compare.

>>62371697
God damnit. Fuck it! I guess I'm just going to hold onto my Tab A for a while and play the waiting game. I took at look at that list and the only I see is Samsung is re-releasing the Tab A 8.0. an 800p screen instead of 768p, and 2GB RAM instead of 1.5GB RAM. That new S3 Samsung tablet is like $600.

where is a good place to buy a redmi note 3?
also, is there actually a difference between the pro and non-pro versions? I can't seem to figure it out

Just got my note 8. Upgraded from the 4. Are screen protectors worth anything these days? These glass ones seem shitty and the plastic ones I heard peel cause of edges.

What is the common wisdom.

>>62371835
Kimovil.
and get the RMN4, the 3 is too old.

>>62371892
Common wisdom is a halfway decent case (otterbox commuter, Incipio cases, something with rubber inner covered by hard plastic outer shell) and that's about it. Given the choice between glass or plastic screen protectors, always go with tempered glass.

And for an all glass Note 8, you'll want all the protection you can get.

>>62371714

Probably but I haven't used any of their tablets but if their phones are good, I don't see why their tablets wouldn't be.

>>62370968

>times advance
>shit gets worse and somehow more expensive

Sadly this is the norm.

Anyone know what hoops to jump to get my verizon note 4 to work for a non verizon? Want to give it to someone tried last night found the antenna settings or whatever and that got the phone calls working but messages didnt work. I tried the samsung app as well as the verizon message app first without realizing it was verizon. Maybe that samsung app was set for the carrier and I should try another one.

>>62371925
>lesser performance specs
why is the 4 better though?

Just bought a mint G6 with case, screen protector, and all accessories for $360.
Good deal?

>>62371024
Zuk Z2 does 960fps even.

I bought an S8 today.
Thanks for the advice, guys. Works great.

Who else here enjoying the B32 update on the Axon 7??

>>62372119
Good goy, be sure to tell your friends!

What's better than the Moto G5+ for the same price or less?

>>62371988
For slightly less performance (the difference is unnoticeable in regular use), you get much better battery life, better display, better camera, better build quality, longer update support from Xiaomi, and there's an version with 4gb RAM and 64gb storage. Note 4 is cheaper too, Note 3 has been discontinued so the prices have gone up.

Depends on the network bands you need.

The Mediatek versions aren't recommended, if you need B4 or B20 get the Note 4 Global, otherwise Note 4X will do just fine

Well to be fair, OP2 is by far the worst Oneplus phone. OPO, OP3 and OP3T were all great phones, OP5 has some issues but is still a very decent phone.

Samsung is the closest but I don't want an Exynos phone simply because it doesn't play nice with emulators apparently.

Oneplus 5 checks out. Especially for emulators, as it has non-meme resolution.

>>62372634

That's just a meme, get a OP5, Nokia 8 or XZ Premium

>>62372711
Jelly

>>62372733
No jelly in games. Only in lists.

>>62372711
Bezels plus that iPhone design just kills it for me.

>>62372673
Looks good, let's just hope they don't price it high up like the Samsung's and iPhones.

>>62372719
Why would you not want a phone with a bigger screen but smaller physical dimensions? The s8 is the same size as any 5-5.3 inch phone. It's smaller than a Nokia 8 for fucks sake despite having a 5.8 inch screen.

>>62372733
The effect is pretty subtle, many people don't even notice it.

>>62372754
And even then it's not something you "get used to", it's only noticeable when you're actively looking for it.
>>62372811
>Bezels
As small as non-meme bezels go.
>iPhone design
Imagine hating a thing so much that you pass other things that remind you of it.

>>62372811
What difference does a few millimeters make? The software experience matters much more than the size of the bezels.

Why would you want a bigger phone? It's not comfortable to hold, not comfortable to use with one hand, can be dropped more easily, doesn't look as nice.
You can enjoy your bezels all you want, but I'd rather something with more screen space and is easier to hold.

>>62372981
I'm saying I'd rather have a good phone with some bezels than a shit bezeless phone. On a list of features that matter to me in a smartphone, small bezels is near the bottom

>>62373051
Check with your network provider? Should be a simple Google search.

>>62372981
There should be small bezel on the bottom so I won't constantly do missclicks.

>>62373060
>that matter to me
>ME
Key point. Your needs and desires do not match up with others needs and desires.

What's a good 8 inch phablet? I found one on ebay for like $100 but I think it might be too chink for me.

>>62373079
Every bezel less phone has that though. A small chin on the bottom and some have a small strip at the top too.

Bezel less is just marketing, it just means greater than 80% screen to body ratio these days.

>>62373098
Why don't you link it so we can tell you if it's shit or not?

>>62373112
My bad...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182732147175

>>62372981
Oneplus 5 has 73% ratio. Top and bottom could be slimmer, I agree, but there absolutely must be a 1mm side bezel - otherwise you'll have to rely on shitty software solutions(that aren't present in pure Android) to avoid accidental touches - that's why S8 is a meme.

>>62373138
It's shit.

Try looking for a used Samsung note perhaps that you could install lineage on instead?

>>62373177
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it a meme. Believe it or not, buy most people appreciate thinner bezels which is why the s8 and s8+ have become so popular. At least one third of the people in my office are using an s8 or S7 edge.

>>62373112
I want that kind of phone with sd 625 or better energy effiencient processor, and +4500mAh battery.

>>62373219
No side bezels is a meme. Most people prefer memes over actual features, if you haven't noticed.

That would be nice too but I need the performance. Recently discovered dolphin on Android exists and it's a great way to kill time on night shift. I definitely miss the battery life of my redmi 3 pro though.

The S8 is legitimately good.
Didnt feel this was about the 6 or 7

>>62373310
If something requires software hacks to be usable it's by any definition a meme.

>>62373219
S8 isn't popular because of the bezels, people buy it because it's the latest Galaxy phone. If it had regular bezels it'd still sell millions.

>Waiting for the Mi Mix 2
>"It's going to be great" they said
>no goddamn headphone jack

FUUCKK
I'm just going to get a Mi Mix. How many other good phones will die before they realize this goes against what people want? The technology is supposed to be justifiably replaced by something better with similar pricing before you remove the functionality, you don't just replace the shit with nothing proper in it's place.

>>62373337
Congratulations, you're wrong

>>62373340
It's popular for both those reasons. Lots of people actually like the thinner bezels and 18:9 ratio since it lets you fit more vertical content on screen. It's also popular because Samsung is pretty good at marketing and apple has been fucking up a lot lately. For most people who can't be bothered looking it up, Samsung = Android and Android = Samsung.

Is there a consensus on Mi A1? Should I recommend it to people?

Thinking about getting the Galaxy J7 Perx for virgin mobile. Anyone have experience with the phone?

>>62373264
Put a case on it. You'd put one on even if it has side bezels so why does it matter?

>>62373389
>since it lets you fit more vertical content on screen.
Doesn't navigation bar annihilate that? My previous phone had navbar but damn I don't miss it, capacitive buttons are just better.

You can hide it and drag it up when you need it.

But yes, I wish they made bezel less phone with only the bottom chin and capacitive buttons that aren't shit. Or maybe, as autistic as it sounds, maybe a touch bar for controls along the side of the phone that you can configure in the settings? Hold a button on the left side to activate it and then press where you want on the right side for controls like home or menu? Idk, could be dumb but I'd still be interested in trying it out.

Hey /g/uys. My HTC One M8 decided that today was its last day of operation and no longer charges, the phone is dead and I need a new one. Would really appreciate some guidance.

I live in the US, on Verizon, and really enjoyed the HTC One M8. Not into the huge phones like the iPhone plus or the pixel XL. Looking for a similar screen size around 5in or a little more or less.

Also kind of skeptical about the leases Verizon puts out. Are they as weird as they sound?

Any help is appreciated!

What's wrong with Verizon?

>>62374009
>>62374042
I thought AT&T was supposed to be an utter shit show. I live in grand rapids michigan, the 2nd largest city in the entire state, right in the middle of downtown where coverage should be fine. Every person on AT&T who walks into my first floor apartment goes to zero bars after walking into my door. The building isn't even big. It doesn't have anything that would especially block signal from the tower, and still people on AT&T can't even make a basic call while in my house. Verizon works fine.

>>62374110
The worst part of Verizon is that the company sucks and all the plans are expensive. The service is great compared to everyone else. Constantly laughing at my AT&T "friends" whose service goes out for hours at a time.

What's the best phone to use without google play services? I've got the s8 and it has great hardware, I Iove the design and its amazing camera, but I fucking hate the software.I thought that rooting could make a difference since I couldn't even uninstall the facebook app before rooting. But it barely helped, specially with the google apps, my ROM (renovate ice) had the option to not install some google apps, but the moment I connect to wifi, google photos, drive, youtube, and all the shit gets installed without even asking.

I previously owned a phone with an AOSP ROM and I loved it. I'm already used to f-droid and Yalp store and not having google play services.

My mom's iPhone 5 is starting to have issues, which include some shit where it won't connect to the home wifi so it's eating our cellular data. So she will be looking for a replacement soon.

Current carrier is Verizon. I'd like to get her off of Apple's retarded ecosystem if at all possible, and I think she's open to it. Most intensive things she does with it is play games and shopping websites so it doesn't have to be super high end, just something that's not sluggish or has blatant hardware issues.

Best option?

Do you guys think I should do a review of this for /spg/?

If I have a defective LG V20, could I send it to LG a d get a different phone like a G6 as a replacement or could I only get a replacement V20?

will the Mi A1's mexico variant work with US LTE bands?

>>62376166
you cant get a global version?
you could check what bands its compatible with and see if your carrier uses those my friend

>>62376008
Already know it's shit because of the CPU and the price for that CPU.

For $50 more I bought a phone with a SD820.

>>62376206
what phone has an 820 for $200

>>62376193
global doesn't support LTE bands in the us.

>>62376206
A common trend I see with these >$100 phones (many of which have enormous batteries), is that they all use the same MTK6750T. I guess that CPU must have something going for it. I only worry about its lineage support.

What's the consensus on the recent android Nokias? Is Nokia saved?

>>62372318
Using my OnePlus3 because my iPhone's fucking home button stopped working randomly. Feels good to have clover though.

>>62376281
They went overboard with the premium build quality reputation myth meme that Nokias of old never had and thus the internal specs suffered. It's actually overpriced for what it actually offers - just like any other non-Chinese phone in the market in the current years.
Nokia is not saved.

>>62376337
I actually bought a 3 because it felt much nicer in my hand than anything else in that price range. I wouldn't call myself a power user though.

>>62376365
Maybe future software updates and optimization will save Nokia

Who else here Note 8 master race?? this phone has been fantastic for the few days I've had it so far... and yeah yeah I know about the whole "it'll slow down after a few weeks/months" but I never had that problem with my S7E

Hey /spg/ I'm looking for a new phone in the next month or two. I'm in the USA. Current is Asus Zenfone 2. I want:
smaller screen
at least 3GB RAM
better battery life
ROM/root support
no meme 4k display
better camera

Help me decide between the iPhone 6S Plus and Oneplus 3T /spg/. I've heard that the iPhone still has superior camera and speed despite being a generation older.

Can someone explain why Apple is suing Qualcomm? I saw something about overcharging, but how is that illegal?

>>62376652
S8 or lg v30

>>62376850
it's complicated.

Qualcomm is 100% in the wrong though, even samsung supports apple's position here.

If you're actually interested there are several articles out there that do a decent summary of the situation.

>>62376823
If you want a true similar replacement I'd go with the Axon 7. Front stereo speakersand quality DAC, good SD820 cpu should hold you over for a while, SD slot and spacious internal storage, decent large screen, good fingerprint sensor, decent battery, software I've heard is meh but getting better/closer to stock

>>62376845
Xiaomi mi a1 if you can wait. Or another iPhone. Alternatively one plus 3t or 5.

>>62376881
>quality DAC
since he said he doesn't care about the headphone jack, I doubt he'll care if it has a decent DAC.

>>62376823

on what budget

>>62376893
most people who had the M7 loved the front speakers and sound quality so I thought I'd throw it out there, doesn't change my vote for it

>>62376867
S8 has a 5.8" screen and the V30 has a 6" screen. Can you read? I want something smaller than the Zenfone 2 which has a 5.5".

So, I have a LG Phoenix 2 and I'm looking to get a new phone with NFC for about 100-150 bucks.

What would people recommend? Most I would go is 200, but that has me at the Xperia L1. I had a LG G3 prior to this but the screen broke.

>>62376914
You live in fucking US stop being a fucking manlet. Also you got shit luck for variety so good fucking luck.

>>62376237
That CPU only costs like $9 to the manufacturer. That's why it's common in that price range of phones.

>>62376914
You're a moron, if the phone size is physically smaller but with a larger screen it's still easy to use 1 handed.

S8 is identical size to the S5 (besides being like 1.4cm taller), but the S5 has a 5.1" screen, the S8 has a 5.8" screen. But in the hand they feel identical.

Bigger screen doesnt mean bigger phone, look at the actual dimensions of the phone you're used to.

Look at this

Zenfone 2
>152.5 x 77.2 x 10.9 mm

Galaxy S8
>148.9 x 68.1 x 8 mm

The S8 is literally smaller in every dimension.

>>62376955
I guess I am a moron but I'm going to sustain the argument with two things:
The S8 costs well over $600 and I'm not a fan of the no bezel meme. I want to be able to actually hold my phone without touching the screen.

>>62376907
hell, I'm even willing to go for the Note 8 if that's what it takes

>>62376910
the speakers were a nice touch, but really didn't define the experience for me.

the phone just felt good in the hand, and was one of the few lagless android experiences at the time

>>62377039

if that's your thing, I guess, but since you don't care about a headphone jack I'd highly recommend the U11.

>>62377009
That's fine, I wasn't the one who suggested the S8 or V30, that was someone else.
Simply pointing out that you can't just say you want a certain screen size.

Look at the full dimensions of the device.

>>62373992

>headphone jack
Why is this an argument? Headphone jacks are ubiquitous, removal is retarded.
>Micro USB
Yeah I can agree with you on that. Micro USB is the shits, USB-C was a godsend when I switched to the Pixel XL.
>Removable batteries
I can go either way. Quick charge is great, but I do kinda miss removable batteries.

I wish the Samsung Galaxy Note FE wasn't so damn expensive. Looks like the perfect phone. Anything similar to it at a cheeper price?

Has anyone tried the Pixel camera port with their Oneplus phones?

WHY ON EARTH doesn't the Zenfone 3 Zoom have any ROM support? It has a 5000mAh battery, 600 series snapdragon, 4GB RAM, and it even has bootloader, twrp, and root functionality. Surely a battery that large is worth giving effort to use to its fullest.

Also no compatibility issues with microphones anymore.

They're probably going to drop support for 5 and 5C this year.

>>62370968
>get with times gramps
Get a rope and neck yourself

Meizu Pro 7 or Pro 7 Plus?

Interested to try out a Mediatek phone for once and they seems to be the best one available.

Which one do you think I should get and why? Is the plus worth it over the regular pro 7? Can't find any reviews on the regular pro 7 with the Helio X30.

>>62377931
iPhone 6 would be a good choice, or the SE if you don't mind the 3.5" screen. The iPhone 5 is losing support this year, which means the 5S will likely lose support the year after.

>>62377948
What does that functionally mean? Is it a big deal? If I'm a light user, do I really give a fuck if apple "drops support" for my phone?

I guess 6s would be good then

>>62378030
You won't receive and more updates, including security patches, and apps may not update and stop working after some years. 6 or newer would be a good move if you don't want to upgrade again for 4 years or so.

The only other CPU to get Lineage support is whatever some Samsungs have. Kirin or Exynos.

I've looked through their device list and everything else is Snapdragon, no Meditek chips.

>>62376216
Wow, US uses the most retarded bands

iPhone SE unless you really want to act as tech support.

>Name one reason why you need a headphone jack
The time it takes for me to plug out my headphones from my laptop, plug them into my phone, and head off for work far less exceeds the time it would take for me to plug out my headphones from my laptop, find the fucking dongle like i'm some 5 year old, plug the dongle into my phone, and then plug the headphone jack into said dongle.

Bluetooth is too unreliable to be a proper replacement for a headphone jack, as it serves as just another radio interface that can fray up in certain situations (walking under phone lines) and eats up battery on both ends. Plus, I live in NY, where you can get a pair of decent 3.5mm headphones for $7. Show me one pair of decent bluetooth headphones at $7?

USB-C is intrusive. It requires me to make a decision I shouldn't have to make ("do I want to charge my phone, or listen to audio?") in times such as having to take a call while my phone is charging. Yes, there's more dongles, but why should I settle for a middleman? Also, compatibility. I keep one pair of headphones, that's all I should need.

>>62370893
Mine died recently. Was using LineageOS. Worked flawless. Oreo is coming as well.

If some of the big guys of the industry is so adamant on removing the 3.5mm headphone jack, Why not make phones that have at least 2 USB C ports? Or, dare I say, a return to the 2.5mm jack?

>>62380122
Voice of reason in this general.

>>62380198
Because (((progress))) wouldn't allow it. I hope the end if the world come so that these grubby greedy cat panic to death.

>>62380198
it's about having only one port for everything.

>>62380225
That one port can already do everything, but it can't do everything all at once. And no, splitter dongles are not a solution. Neither is >wireless

>>62380198
The Moto z with Turbopower features two ports.
>>62380122
Get yourself a laptop with usb-c next? Also get yourself some usb-c headphones.
Bluetooth is shit, I give you that much

It's not usb-c that requires you to make a decision, it's the fact that usually only one of those ports are built in.

Usb-c is vastly superior to the headphone jack, what isn't right now is just implementation, which will change as time advances.

Mi a1 or moto z play?

A friend of mine whom I trusted for every other purchase (nexus 1 and nexus 5) told me he'd never buy a xiaomi and told me about bugs and whatsoever. Is he full of shit?

It can't rotate so the torsion will destroy your cables.

/g/entlemen, I am looking for suggestions and opinions on getting a new phone.

Used OPO for three years, but a 4-hour battery life is unbearable.

I'm looking for something that has a close to stock Android or a possibility to flash a new ROM, put TWRP, and a ROM without Gapps, since I don't use anything Google related. Budget isn't an issue, and I am not a fan of Applel and Samshit, but anything else is fine. Big battery would be a plus.

>>62380346
Op5.

>>62380353
How's the ROM support? Any custom ones?

>>62380321
If you got 24 months of warranty on a 220€ phone you might as well just buy it. If it fits your needs better than the Moto z play, go for it.
The Moto is a good phone as well, for me the Moto is much better due to AMOLED, but not everyone likes that anyway. If it turns out to be shit just sell it and take the 140€loss as a lesson.

>>62380358
The ROM support is great. Official LOS is already available, but there are many more options. And unlocking bootloader doesn't void your warranty. As for the battery, I got 8h SOT of web browsing on LTE. Non-Internet usage will be even better.

Note8 is by far the BEST large screen phone you can get currently.

However if you dont see yourself using the Spen, or the extra 2GB of RAM, the S8+ is really good too and much cheaper.


If price isnt particularly a huge factor the Note8 is bar none the top dog currently.

I'm thinking of getting a Xiaomi Redmi 4x, however it seems like too good a deal to be true. I've found it around the 140€ price point, and there's nothing but praise written about it from what I've seen. Do you guys know anything about it?
My budget is at most 210€, and other worthwhile options I've seen are the Honor 7 Lite and maybe the Samsung J5 (2017 edition). I'm also considering a Nokia 5, with the hope that it's as durable as older Nokia devices.
I mostly use my phones to watch YouTube videos and Netflix, read books, general internet browsing, Discord, do flashcard reps, etc. I play games only occasionally, and it's usually puzzle games.
Important detail: I'm actively looking for devices with screens at 5.2" or (preferably) smaller.
Is there any other devices that'd fit my criteria?

tl;dr Is the Xiaomi Redmi 4x truly good? Should I look for something else (as long as it's < 5.2")?

is it true that chinkphones fall apart and explode?

Yeah, seems like the only solution... I've looked through every major store selling the Prime, and through a bunch of small ones. It's sold out literally everywhere, it seems that it sold like hotcakes in February and March.

>>62382006
Forgot to say, thanks for the help/time.

Sup guys, the Apple conference is coming up soon so I'm just posting this animal to entertain you while we wait and also to build excitement

>>62382274
It's like 2 and a half hours, you'll be waiting awhile.

I found a store with a small stock of gold Redmi 4 Primes after all, selling them at 220€. Is it worth that price?

>>62382274
git for ios confirmed

>>62382286
How much will it cost after import and what ram variant

>>62382286
You fucking wat m8?

>>62382482
l2read

>>62382528
Galaxy S8 Active

>>62382534
wow, that's an uggo phone. thanks tho

>>62382439
I'm assuming he's buying locally

>>62382439
The 3GB RAM variant. I'd be buying it from a physical store, so no import tax. We have a few official resellers here.

>>62382482
I know, but there's like, a single store selling it in the whole country.

Buying from a Chinese store is a no go, since import taxes in my country are crazy high. I'd end up paying the phone's price in taxes (no, I'm not shitting you).

>>62382579
where you from?

>>62382579
That's worth it

>>62382616
Greece, the land of the eternally indebted.

>>62382557
Ugly as sin, but massive battery and ticks every specs box from 2017.

The unlocked version also recently passed Wifi alliance approval, so it should be releasing sometime this holiday season if you're international, or simply not on AT&T since that's the only place you can get it currently.

>>62382528
Mate 9 is 4000mah

>>62382684
It's also not absolute top of the line specs

>>62376891
I thought the mi a1 was released?
Do you think the price will drop soon?

>>62382720
it is close

>>62382684
Kirin 960 isn't really a great head to head against the SD835.

SD835 is on 10nm, clocked a bit higher per core, and the GPU is more than double that of the Kirin 960's.

In pure CPU power they're within 10% or so, but the SD835 uses less power to do the same work loads because of 14nm vs 10nm process node.

on the GPU side however the SD835 is in another league. And it's why most phones with the Kirin 960 are 1080p not 1440p, the GPU isn't up to snuff.

>>62382734
Yeah but I don't want close.

>>62382724
For Indian market sure. For global perhaps at the end of the month. Price drop is unsure since it'll be selling like hotcakes.

>>62382684
Stop shilling chinese phones. keep the chinese at the bottom of production, not as indepedent creators. they're not ready to be financially independent. You can start buying chinese phones when their society grows up a bit

>>62382803
Look mate, out of the Top 5 largest smartphone manufacturers 3 are Chinese. Half of the global smartphone market share is Chinese brands..

>>62382866
Hmm. apple, american.
Samsung, korean
LG, Korean.
That's already like 40% of the entire market share, and the top chinese ones are maybe 20% combined.
And you're just pointing out the issue, stop giving china market share, they are literally the main antagonist of reality

>>62382866
Because China has massive population and they don't have any import taxes and shit on chinese manufactured goods, not to mention already being priced low because most chinese aren't particularly wealthy.

Huawei is about the only company with any real global presence. Xiaomi and similar chink brands aren't popular outside of china, you'll find them available, especially in europe. But for the most part people aren't buying them.

>>62382926
Xiaomi is HUGE in India and other Asian countries, their phones are becoming popular in several European countries too. Just because they're not available in your country doesn't mean they don't have a presence outside of China.

>>62382977
>>62382926
what are you even getting at here? regardless of market share buying them are still hugely unethical

>>62382895
So just keep feeding the beast? LG had bootloop issues, Samsung software is STILL SHIT, that leaves HTC and chinkphones, I'm not giving my money to Apple so fuck off

>>62383009
>Samsung software is STILL SHIT
at stock maybe.

You're a retard if you run touchwizz at stock though and I don't feel sorry at all if you decide to cuck yourself with chink hardware because you're too damn retarded to actually do something about your phone to fix it yourself.

>>62383004
>buying them are still hugely unethical
how so?

>the top three Chinese brands Huawei, Oppo and Vivo have a combined global market share of 24% in the first quarter of 2017, up 7% YoY. Samsung comes in at 20.7% followed by Apple at 13.7%.

So it took 3 chinese brands to barely edge out samsung.

wew

>>62383019
Oh that's right, just waste 800$ on a trinket when another for a significantly less price can do the same shit if not better, fuck Samsung

>>62383019
It's shit no matter what you do to it

>>62383032
>>62383038
awww babby is wetawded.

Fuck off morons, if you can't make touchwizz useable you probably shouldn't be trusted with a smartphone in the first place.


Man children should kill themselves

>>62383052
Samsung can't even make TouchWiz useable, what makes you so special? You enjoy eating shit?

>>62383071
So don't run touchwiz on it?

>>62383071
Touchwizz is 100% usable, if you can't use it, that's a personal problem.

If you can't figure out how to customize android, even with a skin on top of it. You probably shouldnt be using android. Just stick to iphone, more up your alley.

>>62383081
>buy $600 smartphone
>have to install a ROM because the stock software is shit
>lose warranty
>camera quality goes to shit

boy, sure was worth it

>>62383081
>So don't run touchwiz on it?
Sure, just let me get those keys to unlock KNOX, oh that's right...
>>62383098
I enjoy my phone not going obsolete after 8 months time and for my phone to be able to use it's hardware properly, ie: not bogged down by shit code

>>62383128
>not going obsolete after 8 months time
oh wow, when did you last own samsung 2012?

Retard, my Note5 gets monthly updates, started on Android 5.1.1, currently on Android 7.0.1

>>62383150
>muh anecdotal evidence on this one particular phone
Not reflective of reality in the slightest

Why do we hate the Galaxy S8?

>>62382528
MI mix

>>62383345
1. The edge screen is a dumb gimmick
2. Fingerprints: the phone
3. Can't remove battery
4. Expensive

Besides that, It's a great phone with good battery life and high tier performance. But because It's popular we will naturally always hate it. It's the 4chan way.

>>62383177
S6 and Note5 are identical hardware and get the same updates.
These are 2 year old phones, and are the flagships of the samsung lineup from 2015.

>That one port can already do everything, but it can't do everything all at once. And no, splitter dongles are not a solution. Neither is >wireless

It's all about the cost to manufacture.

Cutting holes is expensive, it is an extra step in the process.

As soon as wireless charging becomes cost effective to manufacture and more efficient you won't even have a charging port.

Data transfer will all be wireless.
I am surprised it has not been done yet.

The only thing I can think of is bundling a USB plug charger is still cheaper than a wireless charger.
