@hale I'm not sure what that is

https://3ds.guide/

it's not the easiest process, but it's worth it

if you have the right system version though.

Does it let me install Gentoo?

ok is the redmi 4 pro or 4x superior

Who was it who spoke chink?
Would like a small bit of help with taobao searching.

4 prime is (far) superior spec wise but 4X has more bands that make sense in Europe

cellular bands is a thing of worry, damn

I swear there's a global version of the pro but aiite

If you live in a major city it isn't really, but that's up to you

Which you looking at?

ah it's one and the same more or less

Note 4x or 4 Prime?

(from AliExpress Android)

Redmi 4 Pro/Prime would be better than a Redmi 4X

My comments only pertain to the 5" non-note
I'd suggest giztop or ibuygou over AliExpress though

Redmi 4 Prime is the same specs as the Note 4x except in 5" size

my mother needs something that just werks

I have a oneplus x

and is 5.5inch

I dont think chink phones really werk for moms though

Get the redmi 4A European version then

she had a zopo dw

Even offered by some European carriers

chinkphones for moms are generally a bad idea

Or better yet, buy her a phone from the carrier she has so she herself can call support

But if you really must go for doogee

they're prone to break less

@Syobon They're no different than regular smartphones

get the new nokia 3310 for your mom

even though my experience with chinkphones has been disastrous

I got tired and bought a moto G which is pretty lowbudget for an american i suppose

@onoderaSecurity If it's a mom phone she'll do fine with a Redmi 4a, its $98 with coupon DISCRMI4AEU

what's the best 5.5 inch doogee lul

I might literally just buy a zopo digitiser instead

Get the redmi Tribit linked

They're the meme of choice for a reason

gotcha

I might just hop up to the 4 prime

it's a small difference
