Mid-range smartphones
| Just make sure its the Nokia 6(2018), or you can wait for the Xiaomi A2.
| IphoneX is good.

>and non-chinese
Which part should not chinese, and why? I think it's a pretty hard restriction as chinese work or materials are used in almost all these devices somehow...
| xiaomi redmi 5

I don't mean Chinese as in Chinese materials, but as in Chinese brands (Xiaomi, Huawei,etc)
I don't like to have to flash a ROM in order to use and enjoy my phone
The only one exception would be something like the Xiaomi android one phone, but I don't really dig it
| Motorola G5s
| They don't make any advertisements which is why they have the best and cheapest phones. Google Xiaomi Phone reviews and you will see. Always the newest snapdragon processor, right now 80% of newly released phones have 4k videos and minimum full hd screen, 64 GB phone = under 200 dollar = redmi 5.
If you want to buy trash then do so.
If you want to pay more money for older generation hardware then buy samsung or iphone. You will get the stuff xiaomi released 1-2 years ago.
| also about the updates. I have a xiaomi since 2 years and always get the newest updates. Never had such a support with Samsung, LG or any other trash brand.
Also, the phone never broke, or just stopped working. Which is dank because every Samsung I had just stopped working and LG just makes good looking trash phones which break when they fall on the ground one time.
I had a nokia which was pretty dank-just no apps or hardware. But it works. But you also pay 2 much tbh.
| A used s8+ ist great

Well this is not a specific problem of chinese brands. Ad- Bloat- and spyware comes with almost every preinstalled ROM. Not to mention shitty update policy (if there is one at all)...
Maybe take a look at the "fairphone". Sometimes it's better to invest more money to have a more sustainable product.
| >>255318 Not OP, but I heard other than not advertising, Chinese phones can get away with cheaper prices because they order the cheapest batch of ram available.
I have the opposite experience. People that I know of and use Chinese brand phones generally has it stop working at some point.
| >>255534 I read my post again and I just realize how unclear it is.
Cheapest batch of ram = The batch that is priced lower because it has higher chance of failure when tested. The one that's tested and has lower chance of failure are priced higher and sold to samsung.
| Just bout meself opo and enjoying it. Flashed Oreo 8.1 in it, so why even bother with new phones? Don't have finger tho
| >>255534
That's only partially true. Chinese Brands can also offer lower prices because brands offer mostly immaterial values that aren't mainly based on quality and service but on (local) market power and marketing campaings. For Xiaomi you only pay for cheap ad campaigns in asian countries. Samsung does marketing all over the world. And apple is just a expensive designer studio in California that made the big deal with marketing, lobbying, patents and bending law.

You should read about RAM,there's no 'cheap' RAM and all of it is made mostly by a few companies in Asia. Even Kingstone and Corsair are just brands that buy RAM from the same guys, iirc
| >>256763 well, I know that much. But from what I heard, they produce the ram in batches (or separate them into batches after producing them)
Then they took some samples out of those batches and test it. Because the expensive phone brands only buy the batches with low failure rate, the ram producer give a lower price to ram batches with higher failure rate.

Just buy a fuckin iPhone or Samsung then Fuckin fag.
Asks for cheap and good phones and talks all day about Samsung.
Nice HailCorporate thread fgt.
| >>257381 Ok I will lol, I'm not OP. Already said this is just what I heard I'm not tech savvy.
If I can waste your time reading and replying to my corporate propaganda from your chinese phone, I already win.
| >>9d413c everyone in here is a faggot, you faggot. Stop eating soy so you can actually learn how to type faggot
| Nokia 3310 is the emperor
| I have a moto g5+ and it's pretty great. fingerprint scanner, 1080, expandable storage (or dual SIM of you want that), runs android that's pretty close to stock. not even really that slow in comparison to fancier phones and at $180 it's barely an expensive.

| Is there any midrange smartphone worth the moneys atm?
I am talking about decent (and non-chinese if possible) <300€/$ smartphones.
I am having my eyes on the Nokia 6.1, looks like it will be a decent one, which will be supported with updates for a long time
