the one I have is too small

Is sharp S2 good

Might get a non chink brand

Unless they fold it properly I'd see that as shipping nightmare

Your local men's wear should sell straightened suit cases

ye you're right

probably cheaper that way aswell

I wouldn’t buy the umidigi tbh

Umi is infamous for rapidly shitting out phones without any future software support

just a dumb question

why do software updates matter

I mean so what if you don't have the latest version of android

as long as the apps run on it

its fine

not for me tbh

my shitty a5 2016 got 2 fucking updates

came with 5, now has 7

But the 2 gb of ram are really noticeable if you come from a phone with 3 or 4

hng

god fucking damn why is meizu taking so long to release new phones

cause they are shutting down

nice meme

>1440x720p

is it really as bad as it sounds

how good are the red switches on the kboard on hot sales

i assume its note cherry?

how is shipping time 3-4 days

I went from a phone with 1 gb of ram to one with 4 and it is noticable

isn't that Canadian warehouse?

nvm its chinese

surely they're lying

Two shots with Gcam and Stock on Mi A1

Exact same time, same lighting

how much effort to install gcams?

you need to unlock the phone right?

I kind of like Stock more here

same

people say gcams has better lowlight though

Gcam has the better colour when compared to IRL

its more blueish

do you need to unlock bootloader for gcams?

Not really

The Mi A1 is super easy to unlock tho

gcam looks really better

wow

how long did you have to wait for unlock permissions

No time with A1

gcam doesnt need unlock i think

u can do it with pajeet tricks

don't you need to write a whole essay to xiaomi for unlock?

or did they change that

Nah, A1 doesn't need that

forgot a1 was stock

You can go from unbox to unlock in 2 mins

reeeeeeeeeeee

oh nvm it doesn't require giving them a reason based xiaomi

yeah u are tarted

MI max 3

#Shouldvewaited

looks like how the redmi 5 should have been

isn't it the same besides extra memory and bigger screen?

No extra memory

Just bigger screen

I mean

Only a 64gb base model

its 100 euro more expensive though

idk if worth it

Yeah

I think I'm better with my note 5

besides maybe the camera I don't see a big difference

it's the same sensor as in the mi 8

those were the """leaks""" for the note 5

What is dat

I mean

Thats the Note 5 Plus

No?

Oh wait nevermind

The chin is too small

note 5 plus has significantly larger bezels

honestly the thing that makes the bezels on the note 4 bearable is that they're functional buttons on the bottom

with the note 5 having those in the screen, it's just a quarter inch or so of dead space

@Lesi mi max 2 didn't receive global version

and it's not confirmed yet if the max 3 will

>No dedicated menu home back buttons
Take my reeees, Xiaomi

>Dedicated home menu buttons in the age of the swipe gestures

eehehehehehehheeheheheeeheeheheehhehehehhe

there should be either a tiny bottom bezel or dedicated buttons, preferably a tiny bezel

especially with oreo's interface

>Swiping your finger across context-dependent menus instead of pressing a button you know does the same thing each time

What is muscle memory?

>swipe gestures

god I hate the bezelless meme

Stupid design lmao

@emre chinks are good at making their own mech switches now

Why can’t I find oppo phones anywhere

amazon gives me nothing

the gearbest app doesn’t even fucking work properly

idk why people have problems with gearbest app, it works flawlesly for me for the course of last two years

@MrChubbs because it's insecure and can compromise your shit

Did you not read the pinned post in <#247481427803897866>

but he is claiming that it does not work properly

so I'm wondering what does not work properly

beside information leaks

I remember checkout didn't work for me but I could add things to cart and get a discount

that was last year though

I've stopped using GOYbest since december

also @Tribit why are you lying to this poor child

???

unknown switches are so bad, I tried motospeed ck666 with some no name brand blues

outemu son

I'd much rather type on membrane

where da box kalih or gateron at

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

do these chinks have a single excuse

I think there was a James Donkey with gaterons

they're like pennies in price difference

yeah but it has gaymer design

I'll stick with my noppoo but I'm still on the lookout for a cheap gateron/kalih box 75 or tkl that isn't autismo garbage

are there even any boards with kalih switches? dont want to diy shit

diy is ez u puss

there is a 60% with kalih box

Ok swede here tired of the swede cuck taxes. What is the best parcel forwarding service for Europe?

don't have soldering station

@Phatique @porco

>not soldering

are you a fucking woman?

just get a hotswap board then

yeah fuck you for buying one product that does everything, instead buy a PCB and some switches and some keycaps and wait for them all to come in and hope you somehow don't fuck everything up

I can’t filter properly

its okay you can ask chinks to build your dream keyboard for bout $100

There's no excuse for not buying hotswappable pcbs these days, removing solder is a pain in the ass and once you find something that works you won't change switches often enough to wear out the connector anyway. It's a good way to start a keyboard that allows for easy and non-autistic switch replacement

yes there is

the excuse is that some people are too lazy to go through that process

Holy shit it's just like putting on keycaps

That's serious laziness

is it? why does discord exist if both irc and mumble exists?

because its easier to use than both

It's easier since you don't have to pay attention to rows or legends

I'm not saying it isn't easy, its just not the *easiest* option

It is if you find out you don't like the switches you bought, or if one starts bouncing

debatable: if you buy a keyboard locally and don't like the switches you can just return it. again, the easiest solution

buy chink keyboard, maybe be able to return it, more realistically sell it locally or for a loss online

I'm not saying there aren't people selling bags of switches but its reasonable to think the market is far smaller

@Tribit how can I help you?

I think magic force makes a hotswap keyboard

@porco do you know any good parcel forwarding service?

for eu

What kind of value are we talking about?

If it's >300 Eur I can do this

How >300€ ?

Is kz zs3 the best?

the worst :(

the bestest

@porco
How >300€ ?

that's my personal threshold where it gets worth it to proxy for EU people

but they still would have to pay their local VAT

so on low amounts, it's too expensive

Swiss VAT + EU VAT

But on big amounts, it's usually cheaper than EU customs + EU VAT

Although Switzerland is also getting cucked lately

Local semi-government-owned warehouses are complaining to lose business to China

so thing are most likely to change here, too

not sure how long I will be able to proxy

@Windatica recommend me a soldering iron then 😠

ts100 or t12 or yeehaw 936

yihua makes a lot of soldering irons, I think it depends on what you want

do I need anything else to start soldering besides this and wire?

a fan to point solder fumes into your face will help

and something to Ctrl+z solder like solder wick or a solder sucker

Kimichi

My fam

Do you own a MI band 2 (3)?

Probaly not much more in stores actually

@Kimichiboi what'd you need a soldering iron for

also most chink solder is crap buy local

you didn't think chinks could fuck up making something that needs lead in it

but they do

Mum got me a laser pointer for my bday

I unironically like android + manufacturer UI more than stock

really like the touchwiz experience

god damn I wish LG phones would get more than a single update

bootloops really fucked lg over

a shame because apart from that they're great phones

10/10 screens, cameras, performance but the battery life isn't that good

still looking for a phone?

yeah b

my company gave me a free Nokia 8 today because I refused to install WhatsApp on my personal phone
