This. I couldn't find one. I looked. The flagships are garbage. The midranges are garbage. The chinkshit is garbage. I'm not even anti-mobile or anything; they just haven't made a decent phone in 8 years. I'm willing to pay. It doesn't exist.
I know you're going to say "just buy used and refurbish it" but phones from 8 years ago were fine new but suck to service. There hasn't been a good serviceable mobile device since like the DS or something. Like you can't get anything good anymore no matter the money. And I don't even care that much. It's just bizarre.
How hard can it be >latest snapdragon flagship >1 camera front + 1 camera back >removable battery >microSD card slot >headphone Jack >good software support >sub 500€
I've daily driven one and I think it's shit as a phone. It's slow, runs out of battery quickly and doesn't support apps that are exclusive to android/ios that someone might need. I had to carry around my android anyway just so that I would have access to a couple of specific apps that I need.
i got a nothing phone original a couple of months back for 400€ >gimmicky shiny zoomerbait
yeah, sure, you can turn the leds off and it comes with an unlocked bootloader, that alone puts it in the top 1%
>yeah, sure, you can turn the leds off and it comes with an unlocked bootloader, that alone puts it in the top 1%
Anon the phone doesn't get props for the ability to turn off the LEDs it's not supposed to have to begin with.
That's like saying "the rapist with STIs wore a condom" - it's better than if he didn't, but he shouldn't be raping to begin with.
Yeah. Its the perfect phone small, has headphone jack, oled display, usbc.
Make sure to not overpay for it tho, also consider buying one used.
My plan with it is keep using calyx on it aslong as it gets updates then switch to lineage or a fork of lineage and keep using it until theres a phone that is comperable to it.
poco is pretty good
bought one two years ago and it's perfectly snappy today and battery stills carry 1 day and a half
but I'm not into photo or vidya meme, so my needs are limited
I had a S8+ that I probably bought refurb for 300$CAD or so, and that was like 3-4ish years ago, and I was able to play Love Live SIFAS at full settings, including the updated settings later
If I did the same thing now for around the same price I could probably do it again on a uselessly strong smartphone I wouldn't even use half the power of

Got Samsung S21 fe for 300e. 7 years of security updates I think. Almost latest snapdragon. Haven't seen the sale anymore but sometimes you can find similar ones
Moto g82
If you don't find one then g84 when it comes out, it is the same shit but with higher nits and P-OLED. instead of OLED.
Only thing is I don't recommend it if you are going to install custom ROMs, because there aren't any.
GSIs are a hit or miss.
any phone with a regular screen and a home button, every other style of phone is way too naggerlicious for me
All trash. No jack.

Not him but, I also refused to swallow pixel pill for multiple years just because it has no 3.5. and after finally switching I don't reall notice a difference, furthermore some of the dongles are able to drive 300 ohm headphones if you are one of those. Just dont get the apple one as it feels cheap and fragile
What is so bad about it? Unless you plan on maxing Genshin at 120fps I don't see a problem with the performance.
With a debloated ROM it just flies.
Also 10 hour battery.

every single smartphone is the same now as it was in 2015 basically, the only difference you can see is screen sizes and better camera, kill yourself consoomer soinig

people will go REEE I need water/dust resistance
good luck with removable battery
Dumb fucks forgot that phones used to be water/dust resistant before the non-removable batteries became mainstream
You can get all that easily less the battery part. Deal with it
Link?
>there is no good smarphone
pinephone
it really is not. it's still a toy for devs and larpers at best.

>and doesn't support apps that are exclusive to android/ios
that's a feature
I have a Honor X6 and it's in this price range. You would get a horrible deal with any other brand at this price range. My X6 works great so far.

It does.
>he doesn't buy used
ngmi
>buing used
do you like used underpants too?
i buy used, but i don't sell used.
maybe
depends on seller
what a retarded comparison. if you don't thrift shirts or pants, or even shoes, you're ngmi. stay retarded i guess. more finds for me.
Knowing how much porn I've watched on mine I wouldn't want anyone else to have to touch it.
moto g82
Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. Maybe the 7a if you get a good deal.
beware that it overheats easily
LG V60 and motorola g stylus
In fact there is no good smartphone still made. Last ones were in like 2019
Pixel 4a (5g)
is it still worth buying it now?
Yeah. Its the perfect phone small, has headphone jack, oled display, usbc.
Make sure to not overpay for it tho, also consider buying one used.

That’s the price of a keyboard these days
Just buy a used Iphone.
Poco
again chinkshit. i could live with supporting a dystopian regime if i get my money's worth but shitty software support is where i draw the line.
I think you can find a used iPhone 13 mini for something like $400
buy a used S10 you don't need more
poco is pretty good
bought one two years ago and it's perfectly snappy today and battery stills carry 1 day and a half
but I'm not into photo or vidya meme, so my needs are limited
Poco f5
Everyone says camera is very weak

nigga u srs?
get an old flagship
like what?
Xiaomi 9T is peak smartphone.
True. Too bad mine broke 2 months after the warranty ended.
There is literally nothing like this today.
Even newer and more expensive Xiaomi are lacking features this had.
I bought a s22 ultra and use maybe 10% of the features.
I think I took the pen out twice this year
OnePlus Nord CE2? No idea how they are now still using the first one works fine till now still why the fuck do they all only have usb 2.0 ?
https://www.doogee.cc/products/s110.html
pixel 7a is $499 are you retarded
>$300-$400 range
>$499
this is the type of guy who keeps buying "buy 1 take 1" products because he thinks they are banger deals.
the nexus 5 was more when it came out, its literally all a steal
the pixel build quality and the nexus are not even remotely comparable, you retarded pajeet. pixels are shit. go fuck yourself. go nack to plebbit.
you didn't even use your nexus enough to get to the power button issue
>shit battery and overheating
no

I use hand-me-down phones from the wife. And this is despite my employer willing to pay for a new phone if I wanted. I just don't gaf.
Just buy a Mi 9T and stfu.
Have you looked at swappa? Pic related is a OP 10
Pocophone F5. My Pocophone F1 is 5 years old and still going strong. Zero issues
bought in early august
Moto g82

iPhone SE
any phone with a regular screen and a home button, every other style of phone is way too naggerlicious for me
Just buy a used google pixel and throw graphene on it. Simple as.
pixel 7 from mint is $300
pixel 7a
All trash. No jack.
Bad CPU. No telephoto.
Still better than the pixels.
wa la
Not the same thing kys nagger
it's exactly the same thing
Not him but, I also refused to swallow pixel pill for multiple years just because it has no 3.5. and after finally switching I don't reall notice a difference, furthermore some of the dongles are able to drive 300 ohm headphones if you are one of those. Just dont get the apple one as it feels cheap and fragile
pixel 5a came out 2 years ago and still had a headphone jack.
while pixel 3, pixel 4 and pixel 5 that are older dont have one
What is so bad about it? Unless you plan on maxing Genshin at 120fps I don't see a problem with the performance.

No upgrade to poco x3 pro in any budget.

This one was cheap as fuck and I'm still using it.
s23u would have literally been the perfect phone if it wasn't $1200, had an sd card slot, and had a flat screen.
Enjoy the wonders of cloud tehnology. Your smartphone will be an expensive camera with 0 storage.
Just buy a used galaxy s7. I've had mine for almost 7 years and it still works well.
you're awesome.
I've had my A8 for like 4.5 years now. Fucking love how much money I've saved. I only paid 500 CAD
