yes. get the 3gb version. If you're in the USA you won't get 4G
>>53931752
Nevermind, thought you were talking about the note 3 pro. The Note 3 Pro 16gb with the SD 650 is a lot better than the redmi 3 though
Is Moto G not cool anymore?
>>53931752
>>53931781
Was looking at that but it has a 5.5" display.
Yes, yes it is. 720p screen is more than enough for a 5" screen. Also such a big battery and small pixel count must make for insane battery life.
>>53931794
Is it fucked that my moto g won't play 1080p webms? They play audio but the video just shows one frame
>>53931736
No.
Get the xiaomi note 3 pro.
The 616 is just a gimped 610.
650 is hex core beast CPU.

Aw yiss
>>53931881
Is there a version with a 5" display? Only seeing a 5.5".
>>53931921
No, there are no manlet versions.
>>53931794
Xiaomi has taken it's place since Motorola has been taken over by Lenovo with their bloat ware chink and superfish.
>>53931921
Not yet, xiaomi will probably release a new version of the 5" with that CPU, but there is a massive difference (read: doubling) of the 616 vs 650
I could do without fingerprint scanner.
Xiaomi redmi 3 is a great budget phone. I only hope that this fingerprint scanner fad isn't gonna stay (or at least, they would still offer models without one)

cakebux?

thats a con, do you realise it, dear consumerism anon?

>>53931974
>>53931989
Yeah not a very important feature for me either, just added it because I thought it was a popularly requested feature.
>>53931971
Would without a doubt buy that the day it came out, any source on that or just rumors?
>>53931974
Why does it matter that it has a fingerprint scanner? You don't have to use it.
>>53931989
How so? Mind explaining yourself dear tinfoil redpilled anon

>Would without a doubt buy that the day it came out, any source on that or just rumors?
It's a next-gen SoC thing. In 5 months every new smartphone coming out will have the same boost of performance.
There's no reason they can't do it in a 5" phone because the 650 doesn't run hot or use much power, so they probably will, eventually.

>>wanting my phone to fit nicely in my pocket when sitting
>>must be manlet
Pretty much senpai.
Either that or a skinny Jean wearing faggot.
Inb4 cargo pants implications. No. Just no.
>>53931736
Does those chinese phones get software updates at all? Also, do they come with stock Android or are they botnet?
I know fuck all about smartphones, but I want a budget Android that gets security updates. Can't afford a Nexus.
>>53932101
I should start wearing skinny jeans, given how it provokes people like you.
>>53932125
They come with shitty Chinese botnet but you can unlock the bootloader and flash stock Android on them. Xiaomi has locked bootloaders now but you can apply and get an unlock.
>>53931982
What the hell are cakebux? Why everyone is using this meme now?
>>53931839
You too? Fuck, it's a shame. Other than that it's a great phone.
>>53932143
Yeah do it. Go out and spend your money on things to provoke people on the internet. That will totally show me.
>>53932163
Some guy posted a script exploit for generating competition loyalty points from Chinese retailer gearbest.
A lot of us generated the points using a cake based game and got 1/3 off the price of various things. E.g. $70 off the price of smartphones.
Its finished now though. Soz
>>53932212
Why I always miss the best things ;_; .
>>53932125
MIUI which is superior to all the CM crap.
>>53932148
Thanks anon.
So I could install stock Android and update it when security fixes are released? How do I apply for an unlock?
>>53932344
On the Xiaomi forums. I couldn't tell you much more because I don't own a Xiaomi phone myself, I've just been looking at getting one for a while.
>>53932184
Your kind presumably exists off the Internet as well, friend. Unless you mean to tell me you never leave home, which I guess makes sense.
>>53932242
Its about keeping up with memes
>>53932270
>no landscape mode in desktop
>no desktop
>pure chinese iOS ripoff

Ayyyyy so gonna flash Dirty Unicorns mod or some shit when I get my note 3 pro. Also a bunch of chinese bloat you get with MIUI
>>53931794
Lenovo completely fucked the brand.
I bought the x style thinking it was the best deal out there.... I've sent it back 4 times due to manufacturing malfunctions. Last one came broken in box.
Stay away from moto!!!

Just flash a Cyanogenmod.
Been researching MI5 and I'm getting conflicting answers
I'm in the US on band 17
Specs say it doesn't support band 20 and 28
Will I have 4g or a $450 mini tablet?
