Realme held a press conference this morning in Madrid, announcing three models for the EU market.
Some great prices overall.

Yep. Great camera and software supportIs the Pixel 3 or 3a a good get for a phone to hold me over still next year.
no storage, just cloudsPixel 4 going for the iPhone lack of memory. Not even 256 GB. Jesus.
What cloud? You don't longer get unlimited storage of original quality pics with the 4
I didn't say unlimited clouds thoughWhat cloud? You don't longer get unlimited storage of original quality pics with the 4
YikesHeh, Pixel 4 XL is the first Pixel phone I would even consider.
Anyone here knowledgeable about rooting kindle tablets? I have a Kindle HD 8 and I'm trying to get LineageOS installed on it. TBH I'm pretty tech illiterate and while I've found guides, they're hard for me to follow. Anyone that can walk me through it, I'll pay you 😂😂
Dang. Smashed the screen on my Moto G7 and have a Pixel 3XL on the way from Amazon. Didnt want to wait for the G8 at 665 QC chip and figured for $547 the Xl at 845 would be better?
I don't game AT ALL on my phone but now I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a OnePlus 7 Pro for a bit more? The specs are outrageous but will I really notice the difference over P3 for apps web mail and text?
For some stupid reason when looking at the OnePlus last night I was thinking ATT was CDMA not GSM so I dismissed it.
Id even get to he Onplus 7 intl but it says only falls under Amazon 30 day warranty and is not water resistant.
I am also looking forward to having Google updates regularly and stock android but dont want a phone that's gonna be a dog in a year? My G7 is starting to feel like its moving in mud lately
Thoughts?
Dang thank you, much appreciated!Not that the Pixel 3XL is slow or anything but the One Plus 7 Pro is on a class of its own, not just because of the newer SoC but also because its one of the few phones with 3.0 UFS storage. Oneplus also updates their phones regularly and is probably the fastest OEM out there at porting the newest Android versions (the OP7P is on Android 10 already) and it has a pretty much stock take on Android that is arguably more feature rich than Google's pretty bare-bones implementation.
For a hundred bucks more, I'd go for the OP7P without the slightest hesitation. I personally think the notch on the Pixel 3 XL is an affront to all that's good and pure in the world and that's enough to prevent me from ever even considering getting one, and even though the OP7P has a much larger display, the phone itself is actually not much larger, as you can see here.
As for drawbacks, the phone is not IP68 like you mentioned, though OnePlus claims the phone should be pretty splash resistant. It doesn't have wireless charging and of course the camera isn't as good as the Pixel, though you get perks like Telephoto and Wideangle.
If you feel that the OP7P is too much, you could always pick up the smaller OnePlus 7T which is a bit cheaper and has the even faster SD855+ and keeps the 90HZ display.
660Which Snapdragon should I look for if I want great battery life and decent performance? My Pixel died and I am currently using an old Asus from my dad (GPS and cameras not working, NFC nonexistent). I'd be happy to get a Pixel 3a just because of the camera, but would only buy one for 300 or less euros (maybe Black Friday?). I bought a Mi A3 that is really great for my dad, but no NFC makes me not want to have one for myself.

I've been very happy with my S10e. Love the size, very happy with the camera, decent battery, and a really good screen.Ended up snagging an S10e off Ebay for pretty cheap ($300). Not a huge upgrade from my S8, but I'm happy for the price and newer specs are always good. My S8 has a deep scratch just below the top speaker (still no clue how it got there) and a mushy power button, so I'm excited for a better looking/feeling phone at the very least! I wanted a regular S10, but a lot of folks have complaints about the fingerprint scanner and it's significantly more expensive. Not sure how I'd feel about a bigger phone, either. The S8 feels about perfect.
If the S11 ends up being some gamechanger, I'm sure I can trade this in for about what I paid for it. My S8's going to Gamestop for $110 cash. Not too bad.
Update...Got my pixel 3xl today $547 plus tax. Very nice. But also have a OnePlus 7t coming Thursday $599 total, to compare real world. The specs were too good not to see.

So to recap, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL have 90Hz displays that only show 90Hz when their brightness sliders are 75% and beyond. Should you drop the brightness lower, the refresh rate backs down to 60Hz.
What the fuck lol
Google fucked it up again -_- In my opinion worth a new thread
What the fuck lol
At least that's easily fixable with an update, if enough people complain about it that is.
The battery situation on these phones is so frustrating. I was actually considering getting a 4 XL in the next couple of months, giant forehead and all. But there's no way in hell that 3700mAh battery is going to be usable after 18 months of use, let alone 3+ years.yeah and in return it makes the already crappy battery life even worse -_-

Just smoothness, I dont game on my phone. From what I see it should be either the SD710, 675 and 660. I'd probably get a smaller Pixel 3a and deal with a not so great battery life, I am used to carrying powerbank with me and I dont like bigger phones. It is hard to have a phone with a non-Pixel camera after you owned one lol. I am really pissed that the Mi A3 doesnt have NFC, for under 200 a good enough device with Android One.performance as in UI smoothness or do you do some gaming?
3a xl seems fine for most ppl in terms of smoothness and battery. Probably can get better performance for that price range though, especially in europe with a better china presence.

Damn that's a great deal. been looking at those recently and cheap ones are like 380.Ended up snagging an S10e off Ebay for pretty cheap ($300).

that only works with companies that listen to customer complaintsWhat the fuck lol

- If coming from a flat surface, I can't look at the ambient display for notifications or else it will unlock my phone and I'll have to relock it. Sometimes I only want to glance at the ambient display before putting it in my pocket. Now I have to deal with the phone itself deciding when it should and shouldn't unlock.
Just got an S10+, upgraded from the Note 9. I know, why didn't I upgrade to the Note 10? Because I still want the headphone jack and wanted the phone with the best specs that still had it. I also don't use the stylus nearly as much as I like.
Will miss the iris scanner. The face unlock isn't as reliable.
My new OnePlus 7t does not offer OnePlus gestures. Just 3 button or A10 gestures. Was interested in seeing OnePlus gestures not sure why not on it?So guys, what you're favorite navigation gesture?
I think Oneplus is the best.
