there's no more guides on new phones

2019-09-23 01:50:01 UTC  

because Xiaomi has destroyed the market

2019-09-23 01:50:08 UTC  

in releasing the best phone for the price

2019-09-23 01:50:11 UTC  

in all price ranges

2019-09-23 01:50:24 UTC  

so the advice atm is just get the xiamoi that fits your budget?

2019-09-23 01:50:44 UTC  

no literally just get a Redmi K20 pro or Mi 9T pro

2019-09-23 01:50:46 UTC  

they're the same phone

2019-09-23 01:52:13 UTC  

there's no phones you can get for cheaper because you're compromising a ton of things

2019-09-23 01:53:38 UTC  

any protips on picking a store there's like a hundred

2019-09-23 01:53:55 UTC  

get the one with the most orders

2019-09-23 01:53:57 UTC  

seems like some only ship to EU?

2019-09-23 01:55:25 UTC  

did i mention this was for canada btw

2019-09-23 01:55:26 UTC  

just in case

2019-09-23 01:56:25 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-23 01:57:13 UTC  

woah inscreen fingerprint sensor

2019-09-23 01:59:01 UTC  

that back plate is pretty sick

2019-09-23 02:14:16 UTC  

yeah the one you posted is chinese version with global rom

2019-09-23 02:15:41 UTC  

is using DHL for shipping recommended or just free

2019-09-23 03:46:24 UTC  

From what I've heard, DHL does things properly. So if you're in the US and not getting charged customs, fuck yeah DHL. Dunno if Canada charges or not.

2019-09-23 03:46:54 UTC  

Like, good carrier, but the customs is why I hear folks avoiding it.

2019-09-23 03:49:19 UTC  

yeah i dont mind paying 30$ for it but if it means im getting taxed + duties fuck that

2019-09-23 06:12:14 UTC  

@neetdev I bought from HK Goldway and they shipped with DHL to some business address, then shipped it again with UPS to my home, or vica versa

2019-09-23 06:13:12 UTC  

2019-09-23 06:13:25 UTC  

if the seller says DHL is tax free then it is

2019-09-23 06:13:34 UTC  

if it doesn't say then 99/100 times you'll get taxed

2019-09-23 09:08:10 UTC  

is there smoll phones on android like iphone se

2019-09-23 11:05:34 UTC  

There are, but not chinese ones

2019-09-23 11:05:43 UTC  

e.g. Sony's Compact line

2019-09-23 11:40:28 UTC  

Kinda want to try buying from banggood instead of AliExpress somehow their shipping only takes 20 days for same price

2019-09-23 11:41:13 UTC  

Lil more expensive though

2019-09-23 12:07:25 UTC  

xz2 compact is probably the best compact phone

2019-09-23 12:07:35 UTC  

only issue is the poor night-time camera quality

2019-09-23 12:24:53 UTC  

aw man, it's 5' like my redmi 3s, I thought it's gonna be 4'7 at least.

2019-09-23 13:08:46 UTC  

Not happening in 2019

2019-09-23 14:20:59 UTC  

The XZ1 Compact is 4.7"

2019-09-23 14:21:24 UTC  

The iPhone SE 2 is rumored to come out early 2020, likely with a 4.7" screen

2019-09-23 17:28:40 UTC  

I hate compact phones

2019-09-23 18:30:14 UTC  

@Marlen the xz2 compact is smaller than redmi 3s tho it seems

2019-09-23 18:30:33 UTC  

and the great thing about it is that it has the 845
