rt I'm almost certainly going to buy a V20 on eBay for $260

2018-01-29 20:42:51 UTC  

The Mi A1 in red looks nice enough for most people I'd say, and doesn't have shitty Mediatek processor

The only qualm I have with the V20 is LG's horrible software, but you can update that manually, yeh?

2018-01-29 20:44:49 UTC  

No u cant

2018-01-29 20:45:01 UTC  

Also b o o t l o o p s

2018-01-29 20:45:13 UTC  

V20 is affected by them iirc

2018-01-29 20:46:02 UTC  

oh ye

2018-01-29 20:46:05 UTC  

I did hear about that

2018-01-29 20:46:14 UTC  

I honestly don't know shit about rooting

2018-01-29 20:46:56 UTC  

That's why most people are going to the A1, the stock Google is p appealing

2018-01-29 20:46:57 UTC  

Oh nvm lg v20 has lineageos support

2018-01-29 20:47:06 UTC  

Idk how good it is

2018-01-29 20:47:36 UTC  

But still you need to deal with bootloops

2018-01-29 20:47:59 UTC  

And they cant really push lineage os updates out unless lg gives needed source codes

2018-01-29 20:49:33 UTC  

Yes

2018-01-29 20:49:44 UTC  

It sounds like the build is not finished

2018-01-29 20:49:47 UTC  

v30 any better in that regard?

2018-01-29 20:51:39 UTC  

Dont think so

2018-01-29 20:52:10 UTC  

Atleast it doesent bootloop i guess

2018-01-29 20:53:11 UTC  

I guess I'll risk it

2018-01-29 20:58:04 UTC  

@Ganpo Dadi (贛鄱大地) did you try Kimovil.com for best bang for buck for your budget?

2018-01-29 20:58:10 UTC  

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.

@Julian GearBest already marked my Samsung SD card as shipped

2018-01-29 21:03:49 UTC  

wtf

2018-01-29 21:03:57 UTC  

that's uncanny

2018-01-29 21:06:32 UTC  

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 👍

2018-01-29 21:23:25 UTC
