Hi. My friend asked me for an advice for his next phone, since his HTC Evo 3D just broke. He would like a good (possibly Android) phone, but he cannot spend more then 250-300€ (let's say about 300$)... Keep in mind that I'm talking about unlocked phones only. I don't know which phones are both pretty good and such inexpensive. Any ideas? Thank you.

Moto G - $179, Nexus 5 - $350. I'd pay the extra $s and go for the N5 but the moto g is a very nice phone. Huge upgrade from the Evo.

Hi Friend,
Welcome to OnePlus Customer Service. It seems that you have a China edition of the OnePlus X which must be bought from a third-party seller. We do not endorse or support purchases from third-party sellers, and OTA software updates are not available either.
If you bought the China version of the OnePlus X, please visit http://service.oneplus.cn/ or [email protected] for warranty information and customer support options.
Cheers!
Miguel"
I want to know other than of OTA updates what is the diffrence between China version and original OnePlus X? any specs? price? Quality? Performance?
Hello and welcome,
you can ask your question under this forum:
OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Usually if the product is not genuine, there is no guarantee that you will get for what you paid for. That is, you can't be certain if it is similar to the real version unless you have used both genuine and 'third party' devices before. That's why official support is unable to help you as they do not support phone's made by third parties.
Good luck, gsstudios
I'm due for an upgrade.
Will US Carriers sell the Honor 8 or will it strictly be available through Hauwei's online suppliers?
No, they will not.
"Honor 8 is going up for pre-order tomorrow for $399 for the 32GB model and $449 for the 64GB model, and it will be available at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo and HiHonor.com. This is an unlocked smartphone, and is not heading to any carriers, unfortunately. However, the Honor 8 will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile here in the US."

I can corroborate this. Honor is all about selling online, and so like the 5X, the 8 is available unlocked and not through carriers.
Like svetius stated, I guess it will be sold online (meaning it won't be sold through carriers, forever)
The preorder went live yesterday, with 50 dollar in credits. The 32gb (399) will become 349 and the 64gb (449) will be 399..not bad at all

Does it matter? The carriers only charge a middle man fee anyways.
It is better to have it unlocked rather than carrier-locked (you know: bloatware, slower updates...etc)
This phone is only being sold as unlocked (GSM only) through their website and some retailers such as Best Buy, Newegg, and others.
With a locked bootloader and no source code for the Kirin processor, there is a very good chance there won't be any extra (XDA) development for this phone.

Now wheres the 64gb version at =\ I want that model not the 32gb.
It will be in their best interest to have ROMS etc for this phone....
This could be the killer handset of the year if they play their cards right.
It has so much going for it

Honor should deliver anything related to development (bootlaoder unlock, source code and even device tree if possible) to make things great
I'm going to wait and see what Huawei does with the bootloader unlock and doubt they would release source code, they haven't done so with the P9.

As with the what everyone has said it won't be through the carriers and I hate to say that will be a huge problem for their us release. Less then 3% of people in the US buy devices full retail. Mainly when you can get other flagship devices for nothing up front. I hope to see it as it this could be a great thing but I just don't think it will happen.
Hi All,
I owned a Moto G previously and had sold it(regret now). But I would like to dev for the device now and bring some stable roms in. If anybody willing to donate or sell a Moto G, kindly PM me. I am looking for sellers within India and max amount would be 1,500 INR. Booers stay away please.
Thanks!!
I doubt you would find a Moto G for Rs 1500 from anywhere else apart from Olx. Better look on there.
Hey guys, as you know, currently the Poco F2 Pro / Redmi K30 Pro (lmi) doesn't have an active developer's community working to bring up Custom ROMs, Custom Recoveries etc.
Two of us @raystef66 & @Cave_diver), who are currently building for the Xioami Mi9, have decided to purchase the Poco F2 Pro and plan to build/develop for it.
However we are still missing some key skills and would very much like to win over @mickaelmendes50 to help with our project.
Our goal is to work together as a team and to bring up AOSP ROMs and a stable recovery for lmi as soon as possible.
Mickael is currently very active developing and maintaining on the Poco F1 and would very much like to join our effort, yet he is lacking the device and funds for purchasing it.
If you are interested in supporting and accellerating this project by getting Mickael on the team, please consider helping with his crowdfunding.
You'll find information about his plans and his PayPal for donations in the post below.
Please keep in mind that while the chances of success will increase significantly by supporting this effort, Mickael will be under no obligation to release any finished products.
The entire purpose of this donation is to enable him to work with us towards achieving what we all want, a solid device tree, a working recovery and fully functional ROM's
Yet as you all know development is not easy, life sometimes changes plans and you can never guarantee a specific outcome.
Looking forward to your support
@raystef66, @Cave_diver & @mickaelmendes50
Hi everyone, my name is Mickael (@mickaelmendes50) and many of you will also know me as Mr. Mesquita from Telegram.
You can also find me on Github.
My current device is the Pocophone F1 and I fully support the team project of developing for the Poco F2 Pro / Redmi K30 Pro as described in post above.
In order to do so, I will need a funding for a device because my current status as a student does not allow me to purchase.
My plans and timeframe are as follows:
Hopefully complete the successful crowdfunding!!!
Wait for device delivery - approx. 4 weeks after the goal is reached.
Wait for the Xiaomi bootloader period to pass - 2 weeks after delivery.
Finally the timeframe for a geting a stable AOSP ROM and recovery - roughly a month after bootloader unlock.
The goal is to reach a total of USD 525 which will enable the purchase and shipping of the device, including insurance and taxes.
Your support would be greatly appreciated!
My paypal information is as follows:
Name: Mickael Mesquita
Location: Goiânia, Brazil
[EDITED]
All donors will be listed in the post below this one, please let me know in your paypal donation if you would like to remain anonymous.
In addition there is a spreadsheet where I will track all the donations and where you can see what is missing to reach the goal.
Thank you everyone. I would be very grateful for your support!
Mr. Mesquita.
Thanks to your generous donations, over night the goal was reached!!!!!!
First of all thank you so much to all of you who are supporting this funding effort!
@mickaelmendes50 is keeping an up-to-date list of contributions here:

As the last contributions came in over night, before @mickaelmendes50 was able to update/close the donation, there is an now an over-achievement of the goal by 123.37 USD.
We would suggest that as soon as @mickaelmendes50 knows the exact price for the device, including shipping/insurance and customs, he will contact the contributors for a possible refund of excess donations.
Thank you once again everyone!
****, just 20 bucks, nobody are interesting in this phone.
Developers just skip this phone and use your skills in another phone, this is a waste of time and you know it.

Actually it just started 30 minutes ago so that's not all that bad a rate
And just curious, where else can you get a phone for that price with a notchless Amoled, a Snapdragon 865 and a huge battery. All with pretty awesome Xiaomi build quality?
There was another crowd funding going on on telegram in the past day's for another developer and he actually raised the whole amount in 3 days @400€.
I get an error message while try to donate via PayPal. Is there another way to contribute?
Thank you guys your effort is much appreciated.

The main problem here is Xiaomi. After 90 days no update for a brand new device and 60 days later after that we only get 2 updates but the phone is still full of bugs, fake 5G, even small basics like bluetooth doesn't work. I'm so pissed off and just looking to switch, no wqy to go with Xiaomi without working custom rom anymore in the future.

Yep, and the unlock period will end at the 24th of September or a day before. So he's way ahead. The guy is kinda young but after i saw that he's one of the official LOS rom maintainers, my trust in him raised over 9000

True, and we're just looking to fund another device now for the 4th developer. So it would be appreciated some can support as well for this fundraise from first post.
As of now we're all joined in our own dev group on TG. and hope we can soon bring out some good news on development

Really. 90 days no updates? That is simply not true.
If you look here, there was an update for the global model in May (initial version), another in July and two updates in August.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/lmi/
And what's with this 5G being fake? The device supports Sub6 bands 77 and 78 which is well documented. As you probably know 5G is a work in progress, there are different bands in use just like with 4G. Obviously the bands need to match those your carrier uses, you can hardly blame Xiaomi of Qualcomm if your carrier uses something else.
And Bluetooth, actually it works just fine, of course...

Just wasted 5 minutes of my time reading that thread, looks like a troll fest to me.
Firmware updates for the Poco F2 are there, the 5G band in my country (and pretty much all of Europe) is supported and bluetooth works.
So that refutes the claims you posted earlier.
Please don't hijack this thread to complain about the phone or brand. You're not required to like it, you may prefer Oneplus or whatever brand suits you more. And if you have constructive criticism, maybe consider posting it in your thread or any other thread where it is on topic. Thank you.
This might revive my dusty Android compilation environment. Rocking the Poco F2 Pro right now, MIUI is great but... I miss a few Omni things (and MIUI stability is arguable). All in to help.
Great information that something is moving forward in this direction )
