My friend got his Mi A2 for $230 and it shipped from NJ.

And yeah it works with ATT.

It was designed for markets outside of China.

And has 2 years of update support from google through the Android One program.

May be buying this just for the camera alone, it's pretty impressive

Also the issue I have with phones like the Mate SE, it still uses Micro USB which tends to weaken over time and you have to come up with dumb ways to keep it charging.

USB C is a huge improvement and you’ll never have an issue with the port breaking or something.

You also gotta look at the downside of Chinese phones. Like make sure you got a decent case and tempered glass because you’re prob not getting a replacement or if you do it’ll take like 3 months at least.

for the micro usb thing, you can always get a magnetic cable so it doesn't wear out, although just how much of an issue is it? my 1+1 is nearing on 4 years now and no problems with the port itself

Are there any good fans around any more?

I’m surprised, when I had my OnePlus One, the micro USB port was noticeably becoming loose around 4 month in.

Also I have 2 Xbox One controllers that can’t even keep a micro usb cable in anymore.

🤔 manufacturing quality can vary a bit, although the obvious thought is that you're the common denominator here. drunken plugging?

ah well, it doesn't really matter either way. something for 10032 to think about if he has issues with microusb. he can try grabbing the wsken mini 2 or something

I have 19 BATTERY

clearly 19 is not enough. turn on yer battery saver

download more

Mi A2 and P20 Lite are roughly the same price, any preference?

I typically handle my devices with decent care, I think my issues come from normal wear over time with micro usb.

@Deleted User but battery saver is gay

oh no, you can't let it sodomize the other batteries

they'll all become furry pedophiles

Mi A2 has a better SoC, and camera. The P20 lite is probably better for aesthetics haha.

desu its mostly just that i would rather support a shenzhen company than a beijing one

even though it almost certainly makes no difference

kirin chipset is shit

Over 9000 batteries

but 3.5mm jack

It’s ok, at the end of the day you’ll always be supporting Shenzhen because everything is made there from Foxconn.

REEEE

They fucked up the motorola g7

😂

Does anyone even buy Moto phones anymore ever since Lenovo bought them out?

@Deleted User ha ha

Topical joke!

They still sell.. somehow

I had a g4+

Like with all the advertisements of the Moto Z in the US, I’ve never seen one person with it.

Maybe it’s their association with Amazon being listed as “Prime” phones.
