unless you want the sliding feature

2019-01-29 11:50:02 UTC  

and yeah, at 500-600USD there are tons of valid options outside of chink phones

2019-01-29 11:51:02 UTC  

then you have pocophone, mi8 lite and redmi note 7

2019-01-29 11:51:15 UTC  

probably the more realistic market for redmi

2019-01-29 11:52:29 UTC  

and you'd still have to consider bands if you're in America(tm)

2019-01-29 11:53:06 UTC  

yeah. I think that might be why I ruled out the Pocophone ages ago. I currently have an LG-V20

2019-01-29 11:54:27 UTC  

poco has good camera tho

2019-01-29 11:59:28 UTC  

yeah but i think the only 4G band it has that my carrier supports is 5 which from what I have read back when it came out, means I would pretty much be stuck on 3G where I live. Though I'm not the most well versed on that stuff

2019-01-29 13:26:39 UTC  

@Furline their previous Mi Mix models had all bands

2019-01-29 13:26:46 UTC  

And work in America

2019-01-29 13:26:55 UTC  

Don't know about 3

2019-01-29 13:27:11 UTC  

yeah the other phones of theirs I have used I haven't had many issues.

2019-01-29 13:27:30 UTC  

But the Mi Mix 2 definitely has US bands

2019-01-29 13:28:44 UTC  

yeah. it's an option but lack of SD card slot dings it a bit for me.

2019-01-29 13:31:36 UTC  

what are you putting on your phone where 128/256GB isn't enough

2019-01-29 13:32:01 UTC  

flac music <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2019-01-29 13:32:17 UTC  

There's also the Mi Note 3 that has all ameriburger bands but it's a little dated at this point

2019-01-29 13:32:19 UTC  

to listen to it with a shitty usb c dac

2019-01-29 13:33:48 UTC  

not FLACs but I do generally put my music on the phone. 320kbps MP3s . 128gb might be enough, though. I'll check my current usage.

2019-01-29 15:14:24 UTC  

my friend its 2019 just stream your music

2019-01-29 15:36:32 UTC  

Its the current year!

2019-01-29 16:30:59 UTC  

I thinky chrome cast is broken, is there something similar but Chinese?

2019-01-29 17:27:23 UTC  

any miracast device ?

2019-01-29 17:32:30 UTC  

Nice I didn't know it was a standard

2019-01-29 17:32:46 UTC  

oof

2019-01-29 17:33:13 UTC  

well my soldering iron bit the dust

2019-01-29 17:33:23 UTC  

there any cheap soldering irons I can replace mine with?

2019-01-29 17:33:37 UTC  

ts100 (or 80)

2019-01-29 17:36:32 UTC  

ts100 is OK but ts80 probably better

2019-01-29 17:36:52 UTC  

because dealing with a laptop charger as a cable is cancer

2019-01-29 17:37:05 UTC  

sounds cancerous

2019-01-29 17:37:25 UTC  

vs a USB C cable

2019-01-29 17:37:39 UTC  

ts80 sounds like a better choice

2019-01-29 17:39:25 UTC  

you also need a power supply so probably not as cheap compared to those big yihua stations

2019-01-29 17:40:10 UTC  

Something tells me a 2.4A output isn't enough

2019-01-29 17:40:16 UTC

2019-01-29 17:40:20 UTC
