yeah buying touchscreen phones in 2018 LMAO
his phone doesnt have a trackpoint <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
lmao I prefer ultrasonic navigation
@androidcrawler they're solid phones
I read the specs, not very impressive
<:alithink:327930371796893698>
they're budget phones
idk what you expect
price?
theres a lot of xiaomi phones but most of them are under $300
the higher end ones have amoled i believe
you guys do realize you can just buy older flagship models of brand phones
like samsung for cheap and get better specs
they don't always have better specs, some people sell their old phones way overpriced, some people don't like the idea of replacing batteries, and on almost all snapdragon xiaomi phones there is an active ROM community
i considered buying an old flagship instead of a xiaomi and in the end i just got a xiaomi phone
I've found that most samsung phones have active rom communities too
my bigges problem was that people overpriced their old phones way too high
must be a regional thing cause I bought some almost mint conidtion phones for super cheap
that's also another big issue, some people just can't get a hold of used phones easily
or the used phone market is full of shit phones
i mean if you live in some 3rd world country like europe
<:alismirk:230784726615588865>
ebay is thirdworld?
I mean whatever your local selling website or whatever
yeah but sometimes there just isnt good phones on ebay or whatever
i think instead of buying a redmi note 4x for $160 i was looking at a samsung galaxy from 2-3 generations behind
I managed to get a note 5 for like 80 dollars or something
???
yeah i doubt anyone can just do that
I need to replace this ancient Jolla anytime soon.
you also have to consider band compatibility and carrier restrictions
why is buying a phone always a shitshow
imagine no having the same band as china
serve ur overlord
anyway its not as simple as "buy an old flagship"
because if you actually compare an old flagship to a new cheap phone there are a lot of tradeoffs
Redmi Note 5 Pro Global 4/64 looks nice but I'd kill myself because of the taxes though.
my note 5 was a great value tbh famalam
wouldn't you agree?
sure?
