Cheap phone around 150-200gbp

[yungblood]

I got pissed of and lobbed my iphone 6 at a wall, luckily enough for me i had finished paying of the iphone. I am looking for a phone capable of browsing facebook + using the steam mobile authenticator. THIS IS ALL I USE MY PHONE FOR.

Oneplus X should be more than capable for that

these phones look good, have the starting bugs been ironed out? I heard rumours about fires, and the phone switching of when you call 999. Also, what is custom rom support on these phones like?

[mrfluppers]

Yeah The oneplus x has been around for a while while so i'd be confident with having no bugs, as for rom support it looks pretty good

If you only use your phone for that you could just use a used nexus or something that has good support

Any used One Plus phone really, the X is neat, but it wasn't really a good phone for the US, lacked some bands we use over here or something. Should be fine for EU use if I remember right.

Most of the one plus phones have 64gb options that should be relatively cheap.

You have no use for emulating games on your phone?

Emuparadise, has annoying ads, but no viruses as far as I can tell. Missing some nintendo stuff now though.

Emulators are on the play store.

8bitdo makes top tier bluetooth controllers as well. They have a super tiny one, and a full fledged one with two joysticks.

My one plus one does up to PSP/DS

I think it's gone from emuparadise, Loveroms has it. just google [game] ROM

 

Click hijacks are not viruses btw, like if you click a button and it takes you away from the site, those are just high paying ads 99% of the time.
 

You can install noscript on your browser to disable a bunch of annoying javascript on websites though, may be required for operation.

noscript isnt on chrome, i looked into emuparadise, it looks decent. I might give it a go. i checked virustotal and reddit, all appear safe.

That's a good reason not to use Chrome for daily use lol. Waterfox is just a better version of firefox btw, should try that

Most of the like page 1 & 2 ROM sites are going to be safe.
