every phone i decide to buy is out of stock or discontinued, fuck me lads

what phone do i get, i want a 5 inch screen no more

suggestions go

Nexus 5

A sony

any chink suggestions?

@Issun 2nd hand redmi note 3?

Mi Max 2

max is out of my price range unfortunately

what is the price range?

about 250 aud max

how about the redmi note 5a phablet version?

i dont really want a phablet but the non phablet has worse specs :/

redmi 4x with 3gb ram and 32 gb rom?

186 aud

the 4x is great and i can vouch for it

no idea on the note 5

most people here love the A1 i think, but that's probably some 300 kangaroos

im looking for the best value i can get i'll look at the a1 now

damn that a1 does look nice

350 kangaroos

i can work a little more and save for a week

@Issun redmi note 5 doesnt exist

even though it is a phablet

have you looked at redmi note 4?

yeah i have, i have experience with that phone too i got one for my gf she's had it for about 9 months but i want something more

i think i'll go with the a1

thanks lads

do you want something more

in performance or?

yeah

the a1 uses the same sd625

perhaps look at mi note 3?

sd660 in that

>note 5 doesnt exist

the fuck is this then https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5A-5-A-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM-Mobile-Phone-Snapdragon-435-Octa/32829081291.html?spm=2114.12010619.0.0.7f3db9b5dQgrwR

What

that s a fucking

redmi 5a

isnt it?

says note 5a in the title

i think thats what they call the 5a phablet edition

??

and i dont really keep up too much on phones

it's a different one

it's not like redmi note 4 that you got for your gf

it's sd 435

i'll write these down and check them all out later

so far got the redmi 4x, mi a1, redmi 5a, mi note 3

i reckon the end result will be xiaomi haha

xiaomi is a solid choice right now

mi note 3 is probably the best bet for you

give into our chink overlords

you just wanna make sure you get it from a reseller that flashes the global rom

get it off gearbest

because my friend got one today and it's been hard getting rid of that chink rom

its usually better for phones

GB doesnt have priority line shipping anymore though

😭

does that really make that much of a difference?

yes because you get hit by VAT without it

do you now?

I mean unless he lives in a country where VAT doesnt exist

but you'll get VAT unless you choose to avoid it

https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_1245230.html?wid=4

a1 is cheaper there than on ali tho

why is the a1 so expensive

for an sd625 phone

wtf the gearbest page i had open for the a1 said 350 then i open your link it says 266

it has a 1080p screen

not really expensive

lots of demand too

so does my redmi note 3, and also has a faster cpu

i paid 140 for mine

140 usd?

i think less maybe

sec

thats a good deal regardless

euros

Rn3 faster than a1?

Haw

kate variant, 3gb ram 32gb rom

https://puu.sh/yQqGY/8e3424dba7.png

sd 650 is faster than sd625

sd625 is slower, but has better battery life and better camera performance

the note 3 is like 425 kangaroos on gearbest

6gb ram version tho

not worth getting a note 3 anymore imo

oh

redmi note 3 *

mi 5x looks the exact same as a1??

pls b patient i have autism

a1 is a solid choice, mi note 3 if you want better performance

think it'll be a1 in the end

@Issun same phone

5x sd 625 too

Just diff OS

its same phone, A1 has google botnet, 5x has MIUI botnet

the redmi note 3 is 270 roos

i mean

google will rule the world soon

so might as well pick the greatest evil

5x has both botnets, actually <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

xiaomi is a stronger botnet when it comes to their phones

oh thx i didnt know that

when you cant pick between 2 evil corporations to serve so you just suck off both

speaking of botnet miui

been thinking of installing MIUI lul

because it has the best camera performance

569 gearbest points l a d s

how much is that in dollars

15 kangaroos

very nice

Oh shit I forgot to send in my shilling screen shots to gb

should i start a csg youtube channel lads i got an amazfit bip the other week

yes

i will like your video

thank you daddy

Yea your first video should be titled "don't buy this sports bracelet" <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Hahaha, it was yet another gift for the gf

she wanted it for christmas

ez pz

you buy so much stuff for your gf

but ur struggling to afford a phone for youreslf 😦

feels bad

fem dom lad

Mi band 2 is the only thing worth my shekels reee

I bought a chink laser

mi band is neat

i wanna become a normie and start running official ROM on my phone

i have 1500 set away in the bank but i set myself a spend limit for phone haha, i know i dont need anything more than that that's all

kinda wish i could control music with it without needing an extra app

play games instagram and all that

how do i root and rice the a1 once i get it

bootloader unlock i think

and magisk

then first thing u do when you boot up

is install fdroid

install adaway

i litterally dont understand any of the android rooting shit

then from magisk you install viper4android

thats all you need to know

i wish windows ads were working the same way android ads are

ez 0 ads

Wait what

Why would you root the a1

It runs stock android out of the box

Redmi 5 plus or a1

@Julian you need root for certain apps even if you run stock android

for example adaway

a1 prob @Lawman

unless you want lots of screen place

@Windatica still running miui on your note 4?

no

i removed that shit on day 3

👌

which rom?

lineageos

nice

14.1 or unofficial 15?

14

it's a great rom

problems: you tell me ;)

wait

is lineageos 14.1 developed by thestrix for mido?

same

hes a good developer

lineageos 15.1 is gonna be lit

new aosp icons looks so nice

do you have camera2 api camera installed?

the new camera port with hdr is really good

ya i guess

camera is shit

i still need to see if lineage fixes my otg shit

i shoulda tried to get money from goybest cause of it lol

Tfw can't use hdr on my note 3 with lineageos

I'm waiting for official lineage 15 on the nexus 5, anyone know if exposed works on 8.0?

@Lj4IW9hY3JmTwb xposed is not available for oreo

I guess I'll stick to 14.1 then, bank stuff not work without it

it should work if you have magisk

on any rom pretty much

otg worked on miui 8 straight out of the box for me

No SDK 26 xposed on magisk

does your banking stuff not work because you have your device rooted?

Can't even run it without root when running lineage

oh alright yeah

magisk should fix it though even without xposed

with it's safetynet feature

magisk has root hiding

doesnt work for FATE though

:(

tfw your bank app isnt even working on android 8.1 so you dont even care

Root hiding not work, need a xposed module for a Finnish bank

I'm not even Finnish, but I guess its universal if they try to detect the same stuff (I think they check the rom name or something)

ayy

25$ pixart 3360 mouse got shipped

nice

singapore post too

feeling good about the shipping time

lol singapore post is really hit or miss

once got a vape in like 7 days

that was incredible

but they went downhill lately

lol

hope i'm lucky with this mouse at least

i might get one soon

hopefully my 16 thread server will run csgo well

👌

friend told me he was scared shitless

because the other left mouse button was binded to semifire in csgo or something

so he thought it was broken

kek

hello i am a professional chinese buisinessman my name is soy sauce

make sure you give him positive feedback 👌 <:downs:355737951918882846>

for sure

cant let soy sauce down

no, boss

already had a nice conversation with him

is that a good mice

uhh

i mean mouse

yeah

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

it has a pixart 3360 sensor

for 20$

can't go wrong with that

i've been using the sades s7 for over a year now, and i think its time for an upgrade

that mouse is a transformer

yeah

but that m625 is a solid choice if you can deal with the poor plastic shell quality

as long as it's not too heavy, i'm cool with it

it's actually pretty light

sweet

i'm on the page (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Delux-M625-Led-RGB-Backlit-Wired-Gaming-Mouse-USB-Optical-Classic-black-color-design-Desktop-Mice/32830020437.html) and they seem to have three different options

yeah

i guess they're the different sensors

the best sensor is the 3360 version

3360 is a sensor that's put in like 60$ mice

zowie etc.

ah right

so if you dont care about the sensor that much, the other ones are a solid choice as well

well these days, sensors are usually good enough, so i tend not to worry

you could go with the cheapest one then

alright

bookmarked

imo you should go with 3325 if you're not into fps games

but even if you are

3325 is a good middleground
