Xcover 6 Pro.

I see a oneplus 8t for $350 on their site. Is there anything better at that price range?

Why is no manufacturer embracing the pop-up camera? The camerahole in my front screen is obnoxious and dystopian.
Jace Gomez
It's gimmicky.
Christian Moore
You can get an S20FE for that price in 2022 which is arguably the better choice
William Wood
It's funny because /spg/ complains about phones lacking all these things nonstop but when a phone comes out and it isn't missing anything, /spg/ completely ignores it
Kevin Cox
Which one would you get between Asus Zenfone 8 and Google Pixel 6A Or something in the size/ price range
never heard of this and I think it's a sign I came here today because I really needed a phone like this... if only it was smaller... I?m really tired of a huge display I don't really need and it's uncomfortable
Lucas White
It was released in select European and Asian markets, which is why it isn't really discussed here.

>non-North American thinking that all carriers in their country use the same bands lmao
Usa TMobile Preferably around 500 Biggest priority is relatively compact, secondaries are near stock android and headphone jack
I've primarily narrowed down my choices to the z8, z9 ans pixel 6a. If the Zenfone 9 was cheaper i would go with it automatically but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable paying 700 on a smartphone, while the z8 has the problems with heating and battery but is closer to my price range. Although I'm skeptical of the pixel, it's specs on GSMArena don't look too bad but other reviews have had different results (worse battery, some performance and hear issues, glitches, etc). Basically why shouldn't I go for a 6a and is a z9 worth the higher cost
Robert Martin
I was basically in the same spot I went with the pixel 6a z9 was way more expensive z8 was a only a bit more expensive (unless I bought pre - used, like new ) and also shipped a bit later, plus its a year older now
honestly I'd have got the z8 just because its smaller/ lighter if shipping time was non issue

usa att up to 1200 biggest priorities for me are big screens like s+ or iphone pro max and headphone jacks.
Hudson Phillips
X3 Pro or X4 Pro? 300 up to 350

a phone to flash AOSP on (no GAPPS, and ideally no GSI), that can take an USB type C DAC dongle and a 1TB micro SD card?
other than maybe longer battery, all is fair game. if battery life is gonna kick up the price more than 100 USD, that's not worth it though
no xiaomi (moral / personal reasons)
he doesn't care about having the newest model, but he wants a new phone (as in, not used or refurbished)
budget I'd spend $180 to $250 for something like that, but if you have something interesting for little more i still want to know
Parker Roberts
How is 6a holding up? The charging time is a deal breaker for me as I'm used to 70% charge in 30 mins.
Jonathan Harris
>no xiaomi (moral / personal reasons) I don't want to be rude or anything, but you come off as a pretentious faggot.
Andrew Young
oh, it's not for me. i have a xiaomi phone and i just flashed it
but my friend probably doesn't approve of the abuse xiaomi has done to AOSP's code to make MIUI
what does this have to do with anything tho
Brody Roberts
>abuse xiaomi has done to AOSP's code to make MIUI ironic considering other companies do exactly the same thing yet they don't even open source their modifications but it's fine, carry on and forget what I said. My words will never even reach your friend after all
