First for zuk z2

Xiaomi Mi S when?
My wallet is ready and my Moto G1 is ready to retire

If you don't play games much. Which one is better for the battery? MT6752 or SD652?

>>58719362
Requirements
>5.5" or bigger screen
>QC2.0 or better
>Qi Charging
>SD chip

Preferences
>USB-C
>Good speakers
>Fingerprint sensor
>LineageOS support

I will give up all of the preferences for a phone that satisfies the requirements. Any suggestions?

>>58719868
What phones?

>>58719868
SD652 obviously. don't touch mediakek.

i switched to iphone recently and after a months use i can say i rly like it

android sucks

>>58720219
faggot detected

>>58720219
Good for you anon, enjoy what you enjoy.

>>58719868
Here's the unfortunate truth.
Never ever buy a phone with a processor that isn't produced by Apple (Ax), Huawei (Kirin), Qualcomm (Snapdragon), or Samsung (Exynos). They're the only reputable process manufacturers. Qualcomm is generally speaking a shitty company but unfortunately they're the dominant ones in the android market.

As for your question specifically, Snap652.

>>58720224
>I'm not a Google hobbyist phone shill so I'm a faggot

nice argument, linuxtard

>>58720219
Glad you like it. I still can't believe they don't have quick charge yet.

Theme engine on LineageOS 14.1 when ?!

>>58720510
When CMTE happens because no one is jumping on Sub.

>>58720576
But LineageOS 14.1 is useless without it.
I install it on HTC M8, smooth and stable and all, but at least the stock SenseUI gave me a great customization.

>>58720625
Then just use a launcher for the time being like damn gurl

>>58720655
Yeah, it'll allow me to change basic things, like icons and such. I want to change the battery/network indicators, it is soo ugly on LineageOS, it reminds me with android kitkat on Note2 !

Does anyone here have the Zenfone 3 ZE552KL?

sup /spg/, my G4 got bootlooped so I got stuck with an old, trade-in Galaxy S5 until May this year. This would be fine if it weren't for the insufferable battery life. What can I do to remedy this, besides buying a new battery for it (which I already did)?

>>58720776
You sure you got a genuine battery?

>>58720820
Bought a Samsung genuine battery, but it hasn't arrived yet. The battery that came with it was genuine as well, but obviously has been charged a couple hundred cycles, and was on its last legs.

>>58719962
I have a Jiayu S3 and I'm thinking of retiring it. I'm thinking of the LeEco Le 2 X520 with an SD652 SoC but I'm thinking that maybe my Jiayu S3 with MT6752 has a better battery performance compared to the SD652.

>>58720953
Just bootloop my shift up senpai

I have a s4 phone.
How do I debloat it fully?
It is rooted but I never did anything else besides that.

>>58720989
Install system app remover and delete all the apps you dont need

>>58720894
If you want battery life then get one of the Xiaomi Redmi phones

So I've had a HTC One M7 since launch, and it's finally just got to the point where I can't deal with it anymore, battery's too unstable, purple tinge camera, etc.

Thing is, I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the M7 which is like, 4 years old now. Are chinkphones a good replacement for this? Will they be as reliable and long-lasting?

>>58721369
OP3T

>>58721369
The HTC is a chinkphone desu neko chan.

If you don't care for price then just wait for the actual HTC 11.

>>58721369
just get a xiaomi mi4 for $90 and install lineage os.
snapdildo 800, 1/3" sensor with f1.8 lens. make sure to get the 32GB lte version.

If I were to put a port of the Note 7 ROM on my Note 4, would I have to worry about it trying to download the phone-killing update at this point?

Having it rooted would stop it either way, wouldn't it? Since Samsung and other manufacturers don't like pushing their updates to rooted phones.

>>58721418
Don't put the note 7 rom on your device. It will download the phone-killing update at some point.

>>58721418

2017 release calendar: All the major smartphones we’re expecting this year
http://www.androidauthority.com/major-smartphone-releases-2017-746078/

What phone are you excited for the most?

>>58721537
Samsung S8 Plus. At least until I can trade it in for a note 8.

cheapest i can get the redmi note 3 pro 3gb? its $137 for the 2gb but $157 for 1 gb more?

>>58721451
And it'll push it through even if it's rooted?

I suppose I could understand Samsung doing that, considering why it needs to be installed in the first place but, still. That sucks.

>>58720953
>tfw my v10 was going nice until last week when it suddenly bootlooped
>sent a repair request but remember I changed the screen hardware due to damage
>don't want to ship it because i'm sure they'll deny it
Maybe one day someone will make a way for me to be able to flash stock firmware onto it and make it all new again.

>>58721592
Yes $157 is the cheapest price at the moment ($158 for the special edition), it's worth it paying more for the extra ram

Will there be a iPhone SE 2nd edition this year? Or should I buy one now?

Zuk Z2 or Xiaomi Mi5? Is the Mi5 worth the extra? People keep saying how the z2's screen is oh so terrible and stuff but at least through videos I don't see anything wrong with it.

>>58721621
My brother told me that if you leave it for some days, for some reason it will boot and allow a few minutes of access. I don't know how reliable it would be to flash a stock image but you should be able to extract data you need in that time no?

Also anecdotal so I dont know if it will work for you.

>>58721676
ZUK Z2
>cheaper
>1gb more ram, double the storage
>higher clocked CPU
>more LTE bands

Mi5
>better camera
>better display
>better audio
>better build quality
>more custom roms (inc. official LineageOS build)

>>58721653
Nobody knows yet so just get the SE

>>58721695
Oh it would do that for me actually. It would turn on for just a moment. Was able to get pictures and downloads off at least. After that I did try to flash what I believe was stalk, but I guess it didn't work because AT&T are fucking assholes. Any other carrier it seems you can flash fine or root, but not AT&T. Not gonna buy directly from them next time. Will just get an international unlocked model. Whatever I flash, I guess it wasn't stock and it probably didn't work right either. One reason I loved my G2. If I ever had a problem I could just flash it brand new. Maybe I should start using it again.

But yeah I think it's bricked for good now kek. I don't think LG really repairs it either. They just ship you a new or refurbished phone instead.

Why in the name of god is my 5.1 Android not finding my home wifi? 6 finds it no probs. d wlan on 5GHz band.

>>58721806
pot shot in the dark, check the encryption of the wifi. I know some have trouble with older android versions.

I've gotten over 8.5h SoT on my Oneplus One but that's been with the screen on the whole time from 100% to 1%

give me three good reasons to upgrade my OPO

>>58722061
The ZUK is full HD though. And when talking about the display quality it's not about the resolution anyway, but stuff like maximum brightness, contrast, black levels and colour accuracy.

what advantages does Resurrection Remix have over Lineage?

Femanon here

Is the Zuk Z2 pro really worth the price difference with the plain Zuk Z2? It's almost double the price, yet the 821 processor isn't really that much faster than the 820, and an extra 0.2 inches doesn't do much for me. Does the pro have a better camera or build quality to justify the cost?

Waiting to see how good the new phones are.

Kinda want a S7 to replace my 5x tho. Starting to hate this phone.

>>58723092
if you want an s7, best to wait for the s8, only a couple more months.

So what does everyone think about the iPhone 7 plus killer?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcTAXsFHu5I

Plan to get one soon to replace my SE.

>>58722009
Moto Z Play or ZTE Axon 7 come the closest to having all those features. Oneplus 3 or Xiaomi Mi5 if you can survive without a SD card slot.

>>58722970
pls respond

>>58723338
Are you on 10.2.1? My SE keeps getting this weird headphone responses since I updated

>>58721369
I was in the same situation as you mate. Used the M7 for 2 years before switching to the M9, and now the Huawei Mate 9 after the M9 died.

This chink phone in particular is outstanding and really impressive. Never regretted choosing this over the LG v20.

You could also wait for the next iteration when it comes out later this year.

Does anyone know a familar similar between the Zenfone 3, Axon 7, and Mate 8, but with a removeable battery? Been looking at all those but I'm trying to see if I can't find one with the battery. Still haven't seem to found one yet because I want good headphone sound quality. I think there was one or two I looked at that did have a removeable battery but the quality dropped. But been looking at so many phones it's all kind of blurred now.

For the record I don't want the v20 either. Seeing as my v10 got bootlooped, and seeing as this one is susceptible to the same problem, I don't want to try it.

What is the cheapest phone that has a

>fingerprint scanner
>good camera
>at least 3gbs of ram
>water resistance at least, waterproofness obviously prefered
>preferably usb C
>good display

The zuk z2's hardware is amazing and I love absolutely everything about its design, but the display is dim and the camera is garbage.

>>58723610
so I know nothing about phones and I'm wondering what you do with one of those unremovable battery phones if the battery messes up. you got to send it in or something?

>>58723782
I think they have a key combo to press to force it to shut off, vol down button and the power button IIRC.

>>58723795
No just holding the power button for a substantial amount of time does so. As is standard in the industry.

>>58723076
Shh, bby, it's ok. Get an iPhone

Need a new phone now because my current one is broken. I don't know anything about phones, but I was looking for a high budget phone with a stylus. The note 5 looks really nice but still seems expensive for something more than a year and a half old. Is that still the best one out since the accidental hand grenade?

>>58723782
As in to replace the battery?

>>58723681
For that price it's a very good deal. Great phone all around other than not being waterproof like most other Sony phones

>>58721537
Axon 8. The axon 7 was almost the perfect phone in my eyes. If the hardware buttons were backlit and the reception issue sorted, it would be flawless.

>>58723952
The Note 5 id pretty much the only flagship phone on sale with a stylus (LG does some budget phones with styluses). I'd tell you to wait for the Note 8 but guess that's not an option if your current phone is broken.

Is it possible to replace the headphone jack on the LG2? The cable keeps popping out from the slightest nudge.

How's the iphone's planned obsolescence? I'm fucking tired of android's bullshit nowadays. Every phone has an IF or BUT and I'm sick of it. Thinking about getting an iphone 6s due to the 7's courage meme but I wonder if Apple has already gimped it with ''''''''''''''''''''updates''''''''''''''''''''''' already?

How do you deal with having no 4chan app and the hassle associated with webms though?

Been using KISS launcher but the green triggers the shit out of my autism.
What launcher do you use?

>>58724461
I have a shitty old $30 Amazon tablet with CM for bedtime 4chan browsing with Clover, but I was never much for mobile posting anyway.

There is also an app called Merlin, which was made for 4chan webm viewing. It's just a safari wrapper so you still have to use the shitty mobile site, but it lets you open and view webms inline and save them. I'm pretty sure it was made purely for /gif/ browsing purposes. It costs like 3 bucks though.

I just got a Note 5 (imported from the US, AT&T unlocked) and honestly haven't loved a phone this much before, thing is though it's stuck on Android 5.1.1 and I'm fucking dumb when it comes to tinkering with software and such so I was wondering what's the easiest way to update? Without you know, not much hassle or risk of bricking my phone. Help a brother out.

>>58724627
if you're still on the stock android it comes with you should be able to go into settings phone updates. My note 4 is on 6.0 not sure why the 5 wouldn't be.

>>58724627
>>58724650
correction, system updates is what is shows up as.

>>58724650
>>58724667
I already did that, it says it's already updated

>>58724650
Could not being on AT&T's network anymore stop it receiving the Marshmallow OTA?

>>58724686
fuck thats strange.

>>58724711
As I said, I imported it from the US (I'm in Mexico) and it's unlocked, but originally carried by AT&T, so that might be one of the reasons I suppose. I should note that pretty much every smartphone I've had was imported as well and they all had the same problem, I just grew sick of it now.

How the fuck would I be able to get a Mate 9 working with my Verizon plan?

>>58724768
Straight from At&t themselves
>You must be on the AT&T network to receive the update for an unlocked AT&T branded phone.

You're going to have to flash the update yourself

>>58724107
I know MWC is just a month away and sony will a new phone lineup, but they'll probably be $400 and up for not much an upgrade.

The X has the most important feature I want, and that's front facing speakers.

Does anyone think we'll see some new phones with front speakers? It seems to me like it's a dying feature. Especially now, with the big trend being getting rid of bezels as much as possible.

>>58720953

>>58724949

Moto G4 Plus the best bet?

Used is fine, new is preferred.

>>58724950
Nope, even chink phones love to copy everything that's trendy but they haven't copied the front facing speakers. Only one I've seen is the axon 7, and that doesn't look to good on updates. Btw, the xperia x is water resistant, just not rated. Still wouldn't shower with it though.

Someone educate me on batteries, I bought moto g4 which supposedly supports fast charging but it shipped with gutless 550mA charger that takes 7 fucking hours to charge with, does it hurt the battery if I charge it with 1/1.5A charger and will it actually have much of an impact on charging time?

>>58725282
You can charge it even with a 3A charger, the battery will only draw as much as it can handle. And yes, it'll charge faster than with the 550mA charger.

Could anyone recommend me a ROM for a Galaxy S4? Needs to be daily driver stable.

So I need a new phone, my primary requirement is that it ABSOLUTELY has to receive Android updates as fast as possible. Security is my #1 concern. I'd also like to use Xposed once it's available for Nougat so one that I can update after rooting would definitely be preferred (if I have to flash updates that's fine, as long as they're available quickly)

I don't want a shit phone either. I don't care about storage or SD card but build quality and a replaceable battery are important to me.

Can anyone help me out?

So does anyone know what causes the bootloop problem with LG phones? Thinking of getting the v20 international. I assume it's probably able to be rooted and have custom ROMs. If it ever bootloops I could just reflash assuming it's a software issue. But I was wondering if it was also hardware too.

None the less.

>Requirements:
Removable battery
Able to root without Chinese botnets
Good on music via headphones
MicroSD
I guess USB C too

Prefer to keep around ~$400, I realize the v20 is like $600, but I might go higher.

My threat model includes bad actors attempting to exploit public vulnerabilities against this phone. As long as it's running the latest version of Android then this is satisfied, or at least satisfied in the sense that I will know that when vulnerabilities are found they will be eventually fixed on my phone.

I have an iPhone where my threat model includes state actors, but I have android backups that obviously aren't compatible with this phone and I don't have the choice of not using them. I require a second phone so that I can use these backups.

>>58726451

like Steven Seagal or Adam Sandler?

>>58726451
If you want timely android updates Google Pixel is pretty much your only option now that the Nexus line is over.

Mind explaining this one please? None the less if you want to keep up to date, usually Google's phones, which I believe their current is the Pixel, are always for sure to get the updates first.

>>58726526
Do you have any information on how long the Pixel will receive updates for? Do the Nexus devices still receive the latest Android updates?

>>58726537
>Mind explaining this one please?
I'd rather not, all I'll say is I have a legitimate need and am not just paranoid. I'm not a criminal but I am often targeted by my government and others.

You should probably using a smartphone, if not just phones all together, then. You are aware fake towers can be made that your phone will connect to get information off of it?

>You are aware fake towers can be made that your phone will connect to get information off of it?
Yes, I am fully aware, thank you for your concern though. I unfortunately do not have the luxury of not using a phone.

I had a note3 that was broken to shit.
I bought a £220 Wileyfox Swift 2X instead ( https://www.wileyfox.com/swift-2x.html )
But, it's so fucking unresponsive to touch at random periods of time.

Are all cheap androids really still like this? I thought its specs were reasonable. I've tried a factory reset, and it persists. Is it likely to be a faulty device with a dodgy digitizer connection, or just a shitty cheap lagdroid?

Is that 3 years, or 5 years, of total security updates? Thanks so much for this info

>>58726610
Get a tablet, install TAILS, use encryption, use secure VOIP rather than a cell provider.
If you're really concerned that the government is pursuing you or whatever then a smartphone is the last thing you want

>>58726750
Sorry if I was unclear, 3 years total

>>58726767
I appreciate the concern, but like I said I don't have the luxury of not needing a phone. I already use tails, encryption, and VoIP.

>>58726782
Thanks again.

>>58724219
The only thing I can certainly say it has planned obsolescence is the fucking charging cable from Apple. Not sure if that is still the same. Phones these days shouldn't crumble and lag after an OS update anymore, iOS or Android.

Q12s from amazon. I have had a pair for around 3 months and they haven't given me any problems so far. Battery life lasts 2-3 days depending how much you use them.

I'm super unsatisfied with the battery life on my Nexus 6p, getting about 4 hours of screen on time since I got the damn thing over a year ago and yet that's only when I am using the phone for 4 hours straight, this thing will drain like hell if it's not on airplane mode while the peers around me who have the plus model iphones do not have this issue. So now I'm thinking of switching up to the Plus model iPhone 7 or waiting for the 7splus? should I do that? I'm also not a fan of AMOLED at all ever since my Moto x 2013 suffered serious burn in.

>>58727039
>If you need a phone, why not use a prepaid dumb phone?
I explained this in an earlier post

>You're being too cryptic for anyone to help you
I wasn't asking for help avoiding government surveillance, I was asking for a phone that receives speedy Android updates. I only explained my situation because someone asked, and the Android phone doesn't involve securing against state actors anyway, people just kind of took that and ran with it.

I want to buy a Xiaomi, but jesus christ there are so many of them and all are similar.
Specifically I was looking at note3 (SD650), note 4(mediakek) and redmi pro.
I logically assumed that note 4 is better than 3, but as far as I can see it isn't, the benchmarks are pretty much the same, SD has better ROM support, and it's more battery efficient, at least on paper it has a better camera, 16mp against 13mp.
and what about the pro is it worth giving 20€ more for amoled?

Let's run down the list

Android phones let you:
>have real encryption with no backdoors
>download over 100MB over mobile data
>install a third party app launcher and icons
>use it as a flash drive
>share any kind of file over wifi/bluetooth
>torrent via torrent clients in the playstore
>install apps outside the playstore
>modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain
>manually control complex camera functions via third party apps
>natively browse files
>view better colors via amoled displays
>browse 4chan and natively open webms inside them via third party apps
>extract/browse archives
>add additional phone storage via a micro SD card
>replace the stock battery with a bigger one
>add widgets to your home screen
>access important functions by swiping down

ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO HACK YOUR PHONE

You can spout all the "lagdroid XDddd---" memes you want but Android phones truly are more advanced than itoddler phones and the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market share right now.

For the Galaxy Note 4:
Would a debloated, deodexed Note 5 ROM on Lollipop be better than the stock ROM (with bloat and such) on Marshmallow?

>The Xiaomi Mi 5 delivered great audio output when hooked up to an active external amplifier. The flagship was not only able to match the best for clarity, it also delivered splendidly high volume for arguably the best performance among the 2016 flagships so far.

I'm close to buying a Moto Z Play for its battery life, but I'm worried it might ruin future phones for me.

How close are we to every phone being able to get 10+ hours of SOT?

>>58727287
>Love their hardware but the software is a no no.
You couldn't have said it better. iPhone hardware is miles beyond even the best Android flagships, but the software ruins it to the point that I'm forced to settle with Android. I don't care about customization or ricing. I just want basic functionality such as sideloading apps, filesharing over wifi, and a browser that supports downloading arbitrary files. If iOS stops being the piece of shit it is I'd switch to an iPhone right away.

>>58727908
Why not Lenovo P2 or one of the Xiaomi Redmi phones? Better battery life for way cheaper.

>>58727903
Fuck man, I was finally sold on the ZUK Z2 after days of looking at phones, but this thing's not all too bad either.

It's just, it's another $80 and I'm wondering if the superior quality will be extremely noticeable outside of the camera

>>58727853

The only lenovo shit I have is a notebook and it's bretty good. What is your work phone and what issues do you have with it? The thing about the zuk z2 is that despite the shit camera, I absolutely loved every single detail of the thing, like, even the slightly curved glass on the front, the blockier design, the size, everything about that home button, usb c, the headphone jack placement on the bottom, everything. It's such a qt3.14.

>>58727929

>>58729999
Bootloop is when the phone tries to boot, but then somehow fails and goes right back to trying to boot once again. It will basically do this in a constant state, but once in a grand while you'll be able to get back on it for like five minutes to save all your shit.

The contract on the Xperia is about to run out and I'm being offered upgrades. I'm torn between switching to a cheaper SIM only deal and then upgrading in a few years or just getting an S7/S7E.

What do?

US
T-Mobile

Require:
Screen ≤ 5.2'
USB-C
Fingerprint Sensor
NFC
Not Mediatek CPU
300 USD or less, third-party (amazon, ebay) are fine.
Pokemon Go.
Custom ROM support

Preferences:
3000 or more mah battery
great camera
32GB internal storage or microsd slot

Was looking at the Nextbit Robin but not sure if they'll be around when I actually NEED this. I have a Nexus 5X currently but I'm considerably worried about the bootloop train.

I don't have a backup phone if it decides to seppuku... that's mostly what I'm looking for.

Oh yeah, extra requirement, NOT LG.

How do I get free in-app purchases?

posters of pa/g/eet,

Let's say I have an unlimited budget and money isn't a factor at all.

Disregarding the price (whether high or low), what is the absolute best phone I could purchase? This means the highest possible specs out there today with top of the line quality of materials too.

Redpill me On the zenphone 3 deluxe

>how good is it

>do they offer a protection plan?

>is it worth paying the cash to get this rather than using your carrier upgrade to get any phone the carrier offers?

Thisnlooks great and seems to have everything I want in a phone. I have an upgrade in march, should I buy thos or just wait for something better to come out?

Moto G4 or wait for the Moto G5

iPhone SE

Just get an android phone and keep it in airplane mode

>>58733199
I'd just keep the RN3P and upgrade later. The camera is pretty average on it though, so if you take a lot of photos on your phone you might want to get the S7.

>>58734086

Thanks for the input, anon. Think that's what I'll do. Camera was the main thing tempting me but I'll wait for something new.

>>58733793
Honor 8 has everything you're after for, expect the custom ROM support isn't that good.

If you can do without USB C then Xperia X

just how different is it using a higher powered phone compared to a cheaper lesser one? like what can they do more/better?

>>58719958
S7 Edge

>>58734720
Pretty nonexistant, unless you do heavy graphic intense gaming. For most people mid tier processors are more than enough.

>>58734863
what's considered mid tier?

>>58734945
Mediatek mt6735
Snapdragon 410

how is the fixed sd810 house fire in something like the Nexus 6p?

should I be worried about my phone exploding?

Alright guys I am looking for something to replace my aging S4, has held up well but the small battery doesn't last very long. The features I really want are:
>Some fast charging.
>A good battery.
>Screen around 5 inches.
>Physical home button.
>1080p screen or above.
>Lineage or other AOSP rom support.
>USB Type-C would be nice, though isn't required.

Looking at this for around 200-300 dollars.

I've got one of the Tracfone Galaxy S4 models that can't be upgraded past Android 4.3.

Do you know of a simple way to manually get the newest version of Android on it?

>>58735107
Then what is low tier and budget tier?

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU LG

>>58735914
Okay let me rephrase my stupidity; my Galaxy S4 is one of those Tracfone ones that simply isn't allowed to upgrade past Android 4.3.

Is it a good idea to use Odin to flash the phone to the newest version of Android (7 or higher)? Do you know if there are any requirements, such as having to root the phone? And for that matter, will all of this even work?

I am loving my 3T, but it's still got that fucking wallpaper problem every phone i've ever owned had: when I pick an image for a wallpaper, it doesn't give me the option to crop the section I'd like to use, and defaults to the centre of the goddamn widescreen image. At least my Zenfone gave me the option to tweak brightness and opacity, any good apps around this, or is there a native setting I'm overlooking?

>>58733955
I'd say Pixel for android, and of course the newest Apple shit, but that's mainly because they have the newest toys. Give it a few months for the new Snapdragon to come out, and they'll start rolling out the next wave of flagships.

The Zenfone and the Oneplus3t seem to have nice metal bodies with the same processor as the big names, but stuff like Samsung with give you the fancier shit like 4k screens.

Do you really want the thing to be loaded for bear, or do you want to take UI into account?

best smartphone under 400$? refurbished >iPhone 6s is standing at 380$ and seems like a good deal

>>58733042
The only new phones that you will notice a stark improvement over your current one still cost about $500, anything cheaper will be better, but much less noticeably so.

And if you want stuff like fingerprint readers, or that android pay stuff, that is also mostly exclusive to the high-end domain.

>>58732875
Can you still root Kindles to run android for an e-ink tablet, or did they either fix that, or make them native tablets these days?

>>58736386
While I'm at it, is there a confirmed-accurate colour calibration I should set it to? I fiddled a bit with the custom setting, but some things still look a little too saturated. It might be that I'm too used to using F.lux on my desktop and having a shitty phone screen, though.

>>58736426
>pixel
The capacity isn't great though. At least the iPhone comes in 256 gb. I would say the UI is more important. Streamlined UI can run more smoothly than more powerful phones with shitty UI.

What android had the best camera?

>>58736386
Are you setting the wallpaper from the homescreen or from the gallery?

>>58736427
OP3, Axon 7, Honor 8, Xperia X

>>58736639
The homescreen.

>>58736639
>>58736863
Oh shit, I see what you mean. Thanks man.

While I have you, is the default colour setting at all accurate, or how should I go about fiddling with it to fix it?

>>58736968
Don't have the phone so can't really answer that but apparently the sRGB mode is for accurate colours
