Holy crap I need a new battery for my phone.

Follow

Let's have an another "getting angry at phones" thread.

I want a new phone because I spilled coffee onto my current one and killed one of the speakers and the second one is crackling.
I have no clue what phone. I want flagship specs. I want it under 5 inches. I really like front facing speakers, but the current trend is front being display only.
Essentially there's no phone for me.
The iPhone SE looks the best and Apple is slightly better at privacy than Google, but I want emulators and Apple doesn't allow them on the AppStore. And it also don't have tap to wake.

@matrix submit to your chinese overlords and get a xiaomi redmi note

@dwaltiz @matrix I ended up going for some French brand (Archos), its ok.

@dwaltiz It's fucking gigantic. Fucking chinks having to compensate for their tiny dicks.

@uteki No, I have bad experience with jailbreaking decreasing performance and battery life plus jailbreak for the new iPhone SE isn't available.

@matrix Hmmm.... did you find anything? I think you can buy razer phone or razer phone 2 but not sure

@uteki I'm thinking about it. I like the design, specs, features, but it's really big. I'm not sure how I feel about buying a almost 2 year old phone. I have a Xperia XZ1 Compact, that's only three years old. Also all the mainstream shops here have it sold out and I want to have the security of being able to return it if it's too big for me.

@matrix phones have more processor power but are crap in most ways compared to the cell phones of yore. I remember when computers and electronics were built to last. floppy disks from the 80s usually still work fine, but any made post-2000 are about as useful as votes in a presidential election.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad
I have button Nokia phones from the early 2000s and those still work, but basically I agree.
I wouldn't have a problem with phones not lasting if the flagships weren't like 800 dollars and up.

@matrix in 2050 when I'm showing ancient lost technology to the citizens of my cave, they won't give a shit about some dead iphone that can't be used to cut trees or start fires but they'll be impressed when I use a hand-crank charger to power on a beat-up old Nokia and let them play Snake
