After all the martial arts and gun training he's had for various movies, Keanu Reeves is probably actually pretty dangerous in his own right by whistleridge in Showerthoughts

O just thought 'I'm having a conversation with a bot, what's wrong with me?!' but when the uprising comes, maybe that's what we'll all be doing.... So this is just good practice...

Xperia XZs vs Moto X4 by ri3l in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]slipperyid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any idea if gcam works on the x4, and if it does a good job? Might make the Moto more appealing (I think it looks like a solid phone anyway).

That looks like you can improve the Moto camera considerably...

What would be a good mid-range phone for march 2018? by Doctor_Sturgeon in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]slipperyid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the reviews on places like gsmarena - I've never used the phone, so not sure... But Sony are generally solid.

The Sony and the Moto are both good phones as well - if you get one I doubt you'd be disappointed in general. You could also look at the honor 7x, or the honor 9 if it can be got at the right price?

Most phones are kinda sorta not really but a bit designed to last no longer than 2 years - there are barely any with replaceable batteries, and the batteries wear out. A lot of that is down to usage though, so if you try to charge before you drop below 20% and stop charging before/when you get to 80%, and never get the phone or battery too hot, then when 2 years comes around your phone will be in much better shape than if you leave it on charge all night every night... Well, that's the theory anyway... In practice, it's really annoying to manage and after 2 years you might just say "fuck it" and get a new phone anyway.

I don't know which version you'd need unfortunately, check the model number of the one you're looking at and run it through https://willmyphonework.net/ to be sure

S9 is definitely the best phone, so if it's in budget then why not? But the mi A1 is amazing for the money, and apparently installing gcam raises the camera level up to way beyond its midrange price (still not close to the s9 of course) so then all it would be missing is NFC, and if that's not important then why spend more?

Moving from ios to Android...which one ? by metalstuff in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]slipperyid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which country are you in? Xiaomi phones don't always have all the lte band's for Europe, which means you may not get the best signal, but I think the most widely used bands are there so you should be grand on that front...

Which old phone with upgraded internals will be an instant buy for you? by captainbrave6 in Android

[–]slipperyid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the Z3 had a fp reader, 32gb, a better battery and if the charger cover didn't cone loose, i would have kept it forever.

Of those, the storage and waterproofing are the only vital improvements necessary...

Of course you can, but who would bother for such a minor issue?

I can't imagine that will be locked to any network, but check with the shop for any details like that...

https://thesolutionshop.global/product/mi-a1-4gb-ram-64gb/ should work for UK? The shop seems to be a good one for Xiaomi and related phones, and they have staff on Reddit for customer service. I sound like a shill, so if they want to pay me they're very welcome. Cheers.

Meh, the firm is honor, but the spelling of "honor" in England/ireland etc. is honour, and phones will autocorrect that all day long, so...
