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

ebay or something?

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?

just buy a iphone on the iphone upgrade program

new phone every year??

>>>tfw you have a relative in China who works for Xiaomi and can easily get you the "forbidden city" phone (the one with 10gb of ram) :))

Xiaomi doesn't have employee discounts tho sadly

gee whiz

your phone lets you have 10GB of RAM?

none of my packages from 11/11 have arrived yet
