🤢 updating your phone 😷

i could probably flash it to some indian shit rom that breaks the other half of the hardware

Asus has only given me problems with their gear.

it was good originally but got worse with updates

a couple of their apps are quite nice

is the goybest shipping insurance a scam?

I am paying through paypal for extra protection already

Yeah

If you pay with PayPal there's zero reason to pay for Gearbest's insurance

chinkshit purchased 👏

👍 🐱

is anyone else here semi-addicted to buying new phones

when I was employed I changed phones every four months or so

what did you do with all the old ones?

sold them to buy new ones

now I'm broke and ":("

I really want the Mi 5x

rn I have the Mi Note 2 but my screen has a scratch and I absolutely hate damaged phones

Shit, I need a new phone stat, but don't want to waste money on a shitty chink phone. A good chink phone would be good

if the code I used works for you too, redmi note 4x is good

what code?

droidyy

what does the code do?

https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_637661.html?wid=4

try to use it, it's a discount

didn't work for some people,

@LookRat lmao that's my code

I asked the GB rep on Ozbargain and voila the code was generated

I'm currently using the Redmeme that I bought with the code lol

code didn't work.

it's limited to AU/NZ

well, I am a 'murican,. so shucks

got anything else ausfag-specific?

ah, I'll go to ozbargain

nope unfortunately but keep an eye on Ozbargain GB posts and the comments cause there's usually some good deals

Ah

I was looking at the phones at Wal-mart...and my wal-mart has a verizon store built into the electronics session. Holy hell did they try to say their stuff was a deal.

Yeah lol, I can imagine

Local retailers are selling the slower Nokia 6 for over double the price of my Redmeme

Only thing it's got is better cameras

Saying like, buy our service for a month and you can buy the phone straight out for much less than other places and you can unlock it. I wana know how much of a pain it would be to get them to unlock. Virgin doesn't unlock for anyone
