Whelp I managed to break my nokia n8. I had about a week of bad reception after wetting the phone, now the radio seems to be completely out. Things I liked about it were offline maps with directions and a decent camera. I hated the terrible selection of apps and support. Are there any modern phones out there other than windows phone that has good offline map support? The app ecosystem for windows 8 mobile doesn't look very promising.

I was about to go out and buy a decent point and shoot camera, but then started to wonder what the point was unless I am carrying it with me all the time. This brings me to the cell phone thread: I used a Nokia n8 all the way through 2015 (when the USB port gave out) because it was such a solid piece of hardware with a wonderful camera. It even had a xenon flash and a half-press focus/full press shoot button. Of course symbian OS was absolute poo poo by today's standard. Since then I moved to a MotoX 2014. Solid smart phone but the camera is meh and can't be updated to output raw images. Also I can't keep a solid grip on it while doing one handed landscape oriented photos. Is there anything out there that does a good job of being camera first, smart phone second? My requirements would be: -raw image output -easy to grip firmly with only right hand while operating camera -decent optics and sensor -sd card slot or USB On-the-go -I guess do an okay job at smartphone stuff too like web browsing and 3rd party map software. As for price I'm thinking about $400 but could swing another $200 if that's was it takes to get what I want. e:The requirement to have a good one hand grip scales with price. I won't feel as bad if I drop a $200 phone while riding a bike. Also I use T-Mobile if that still matters these days. CopperHound fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Apr 20, 2018 |

Whelp, I just put my month old nokia 6.1 through a full wash cycle. I hope it will come back on after drying out, but I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to glue the screen back on if it does. Have a couple picks of the innards along with the bright pink water intrusion indicators:   I guess they weren't kidding when talking about having a machined body. update:It's working again!... except for the cellular radio  So I guess I'm in the market for a new phone again... which I guess will be another 6.1 CopperHound fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 1, 2018 |

Now that the Android 9 update is out I can recommend the Nokia 6.1 for $200. The update has made the camera go from literally unusable to "meh, okay for a cheap phone".

It seems like Nokia 6 series might be a good choice for you if we weren't in this akward time after 6.1 is no longer stocked and 6.2 isn't released yet.

Inverse square posted:Hey folks. I don't care about having a good camera. Are there any "catches" to getting a super cheap smart phone? Instead we ended up with an Asus Zenfone Live for ~$80. It is super plasticity. The display gets all corrupted occasionally unless you turn hardware acceleration off. Also the phone started to think something was plugged into the headphone port, so it would not play over the speaker. Somehow that last one was not a hardware problem and factory resetting the phone fixed it.
