Fair enough. Still, a 250 premium to go from 6 to 8 would give me pause.The 512 GB sku comes with 8GB RAM. The 128GB one comes with 6GB.
I saw it mentioned on their French Twitter feed right after your reply. It's apparently being released on August 20th.The Mi 8 is indeed going to be released outside of China. It's in the official Spanish Mi Store (and others) to be released soon for 499€
I mean... 6 to 8GB and 128 to 512 GB.Fair enough. Still, a 250 premium to go from 6 to 8 would give me pause.
If you really want to see the world burn, sure you could do that.
I can't even get to that on my Pixel XL.If you really want to see the world burn, sure you could do that.
I had to try pretty hard to get to 45% space used on my 128gb internal storage heh.
Note 9 looks pretty sweet. I see T-mobile has 500 off for an 8+ trade in. Would I be able to pay that outright or would they make me add to my plan? 8+ ruined me on big phones, now I need to go larger on the screen. Fucking shame nobody is really stepping up to eat Sammys lunch in the Android market though. HTC let me down, Sony is taking to long to catch up with the trends, and no thanks to Pixel or One+ for various reasons.
Tons of people consistently complain about wanting smaller phones. Palm might just be on to something here.

When people say that they mean phones in the mid-4" to 5" range, not this nonsense. This is going to bomb for sureTons of people consistently complain about wanting smaller phones. Palm might just be on to something here.
Got a chromebook pro.I'm suddenly interesting in Chromebooks again because of that HP Chromebook X2, lol...
Can anyone comment on stand by battery drain when the chromebook is on sleep? This is something that Microsoft tablets suck at that Android tablets and iPads excel at.
Have a Pixelbook, so I don't know how useful this'll be, but my standby time is absurd. It feels like I can leave it alone for a week and come back to it with it still having a significant amount of charge.I'm suddenly interesting in Chromebooks again because of that HP Chromebook X2, lol...

Throw in SD card in it. I have a 200GB SD card in my Note and it gives me all of the storage I need.
I have a 256GB card and it's almost full. I shoot a ton of 4k, 100mbps video so it's taking quite a lot of space (so far around 100GB worth)
I can't even fill up my 128GB iPhone. I can't imagine what people need a 256GB phone for. I back up photos weekly so isn't like they are ever a storage issue.
4K videos. Games. Downloaded music and media files. Think outside the box.I can't even fill up my 128GB iPhone. I can't imagine what people need a 256GB phone for. I back up photos weekly so isn't like they are ever a storage issue.

Xiaomi introducing a new subbrand 'POCO';
There's already an unboxing video of the Pocophone:
Spec wise it appears to be very similar to the Mi 8 (Snapdragon 845, 3D Facial Recognition, etc.), but with a headphone jack, a 4000mAh battery and metal instead of glass back.
Release is rumoured to be for September which suggests we might not see the Mi 8 outside of China.
I'm upset with myself right now because I'm honestly considering the possibility of just getting a Note 9. $1000 is an insane amount of money for a phone, but that 4000mAh battery is extremely tempting, seeing as batteries going bad after ~1.5 - 2 years has been a problem with every smart phone I've ever owned.
Gotta keep the middle empty for the notch! Same reason they thought it was smart to remove the icons showing you whether you had bluetooth or GPS on -_-Man, I'm really not a fan of some of the UI changes in Pie. My clock was in the top-right before, and now it's in the top-left! Now I keep thinking there are notifications!
I also noticed that, at least on my Pixel XL, after I had 4 or 5 notification icons it just displays a dot afterwards, leaving a bunch of unused space to the right, as if I have a notch. It's unbelievable. Assuming every phone your OS is running on has a notch is NOT notch support.Gotta keep the middle empty for the notch!

The top left corner of your screen is literally Android's biggest killer feature and they've just gimped the hell out of it because of a baffling trend that should never have caught on in the first place. It's unbelievable and it's pushing me away from the "stock Android" experience more and more.Yeah that's dumb. It should simply respond based on if you have a notch or not.
Easily the best phone on the market right now.Not really looking at buying a phone right now but even still the OnePlus 6 bundle for $502 with student discount is super tempting.
