But their phones have only a passing resemblance to an iPhone
They're not flagrant clones
I'd avoid MIUI like the plague after a read through the EULA agreement
'ree'
rt I'm almost certainly going to buy a V20 on eBay for $260
The Mi A1 in red looks nice enough for most people I'd say, and doesn't have shitty Mediatek processor
>removable battery
>IR universal remote
>Integrated DAC
>decent camera and microphone setup
The only qualm I have with the V20 is LG's horrible software, but you can update that manually, yeh?
No u cant
Also b o o t l o o p s
V20 is affected by them iirc
oh ye
I did hear about that
I honestly don't know shit about rooting
That's why most people are going to the A1, the stock Google is p appealing
Oh nvm lg v20 has lineageos support
Idk how good it is
But still you need to deal with bootloops
And they cant really push lineage os updates out unless lg gives needed source codes
Yes
v30 any better in that regard?
Dont think so
Atleast it doesent bootloop i guess
I guess I'll risk it
@Ganpo Dadi (贛鄱大地) did you try Kimovil.com for best bang for buck for your budget?
I have one of Xiaomi's Mi Mix 2. Only complaints I have are the difficulty in the rooting process (bootload unlock mostly) and the screen's lower bezel having a blackout applique to give the illusion of a curve on the screen's bottom corners. It's tough to describe verbally but basically the top corners of the screen physically have a curve built into the LCD, while the bottom corners are the usual square corners. There is a black coating on the back of the screen glass to give the illusion of curved corners in the bottom of the LCD. Really easy to notice as you rotate the phone towards and away from your eyes.
wtf
that's uncanny
The bootload unlock was a yooge headache; it only worked if the phone physically thought it was in China. No wonder it cost a hundred dollars less! You had to use a VPN client to get data from a [...Schenzen?] server. In addition to the usual unlocking stuff. Then getting Lineage to work right has proven a hassle; I didn't understand that such a new phone wouldn't have official ROM support yet. First time flashing my own roms for a phone 👍
fag u cole
