Oneplus phones being good is the worst meme ever.

>>60427034
My OnePlus2 is excellent.

Recommend me a phone for <£150 /g/.

Only really use it to shitpost but the more features the better

Help please, I can't decide between these two phones:

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-sony-xperia-xa

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-wileyfox-swift-2

I like Xperia's design more but Wileyfox seems better overall...

Any other recommendation for ~175€? I pretty much only use my phone for web browsing, chatting, watching videos and sometimes play simple games. I don't care about the camera. I live in Spain, btw.

>>60427139

>don't care about fires/bootloops etc
>care about audio, camera and longevity of the device(i.e. It's smooth for 6 months then it runs like garbage)

>>60427310
Also forgot to mention both cost the same(450€)and that the 3T costs more

>>60427310
>>don't care about fires/bootloops etc
Then you are an idiot and need to make yourself scarce

>>60427246
Go for used Samsungs/Sony then

>>60427352
Those are just bad memes. Warranties and backups are a thing.
Plus the chance of those happening is tiny

>>60427310
Such a nice concept, but the HTC UI/Skin makes me completely sick in my mouth. Still don't understand why manufacturers don't just use stock android.

>>60427196
He bought an s8 and is having buyers remorse.

>>60427222
why?

>>60427429
Ikr, is Lenovorola the only brand still sticking to that?

>>60427542
And Nokia

>>60427542
I like OnePlus' method of keeping stock android and just adding a couple extra features, eg a search bar in the settings menu, and things like that

>>60427648
Wileyfox phones don't use Cyanogen as their OS anymore

>>60427673
I think Wileyfox Swift 2 still does. Maybe the newer models doesn't? I am not completely sure though.

Into the trash it goes, if you're gonna convert to Android why not just go all the way and push for flagship specs?

>>60427763
If you look closely the first phone in the image has dual cameras so it's probably their yet unannounced flagship, possibly with Snapdragon 835

>ZTE Axon 7
What's the catch? Seems to have good specs at OnePlus prices

>>60427693
It might still be Cyanogen out of the box if they ship it with the old Marshmallow ROM, but since Nougat it isn't CyanogenOS anymore

>>60427310
HTC always have the better audio components
V20 boitloops and like you said you care about the longevity of the device so that should be a no brainer.

>>60427795
There isn't a catch, it's a great phone. it's often on sale for $330 which makes it $100 cheaper than the OP3T. In many ways it's better than the OP3T too (higher res screen, microsd slot, front facing stereo speakers, HiFi DAC). Only major negative is the average camera.

HONOR 8 USER
Tried to use LineageOS a few months back and it was laggy and full of glitches. Can anyone tell me of they've made a stable version? And preferably one that I can install Xposed

Best phone for around 300€? Please no Chinese unless it's good, thanks.

>>60428207
Honor 8 is actually pretty good. If you don't care about custom roms, of course

>>60428232
Why? there are less ROMs for Honor 8?

>>60428268
Yes because the Honor 8 uses an in house chipset and not a snapdragon chip which limits ROM choices

Looking for a decent modern phone that can be rooted (very necessary). Anything under $400 is preferred.

I'm currently looking @ Moto G Plus 5G as an option.

If there's anything better presently or in the future please, please recommend.

>>60428455

So im thinking of buying the motog5 plus, but the only version in the country is the 2gb ram one.
Will that be enough to be my phone for 2 years? I dont want any lag or some shit.
Or should I wait for the redmi note 4 to be avaliable and get the 4gb/64gb one? Pls help.

HTC U 11 looks like hot garbage. Would rather just get the Nokia 6 and save like $500

How do i install that xiaomu.eu rom?
Do i just flash twrp, gaps and then the rom like on my old sony phone?

>>60427763
Because it costs $200 you retard. Flagship version is arriving later this year

Anyone good with the Tasker app around?

I've bought into the automated house meme and got myself a philips hue light in the hallway. I can set timers in the philips app but I want it to turn on when I come home (connect to specific SSID) and turn off ~10 min after turning on.

I've setup Tasker with the hue plugin (AutoHue) so it turns on when wifi connects but I'm having trouble with the turn off timer. It seems I can't turn it on again after turning off because it's waiting on my 10min timer.

Here's how I got it in Tasker:
>Profile: Wifi connected (ssid),*, -> Hue on Wifi
>Tasks:
>1. Autohue IP 192.xxx Light: Huelamp On (works when testing the setting every time)
>2. Wait
>10min
>3. Autohue IP 192.xxx Light: Huelamp Off (works when testing the setting every time)

Is there a more reliable way to configure it? A bunch of times when I've gotten it hasn't triggered to turn On but I can't tell where it fails. I've checked the phone when I get close and Tasker does show up with an active profile whenever it connects to my wifi but the light stays off until I fiddle with it like turning wifi on and off.

>>60428676
you dont need gaps witj eu rom
it comes with pico gaps so only basic shit like playstore
you do that way or use fastboot method


anyway,does anyone have axon7?
how is the screwn on that thing

>>60428670
Wait for Redmi Note 4, 2gb isn't really enough ram anymore and especially not 2 years from now.

>>60427246
Maybe a Moto G4 play if can get your hands on it for less than $150

I've had my LG g3 for something like two and a half years now, and the wear is really starting to show. Should I just get another g3 or grab a ZTE axon 7?

It's worth it for that Nokia build quality and fast updates. Not everyone plays manchild games on their phones.

I would if something were there besides 30 lbs of FUPA
>>60429156
I don't play games either but the 430 lags on the menu and is slow to perform tasks, anyone in this thread should be buying a phone with at least the SD 625 in it

>>60429178

SD430 is more than powerful enough to run stock android smoothly. I'm perfectly happy with the performance on the Moto G5, don't see why it would be any worse on the Nokia 6.

>>60429604
It came with a free Bluetooth speaker that I sold for 100€ + I sold my OPO for 100€ so I literally paid 0€ to upgrade.

>>60429663
That's not an upgrade

So i tried to unlock my redmi note 4 with the official unlocker but it gets stuck at 99% and it says "binding time too short, less than 72 hours" what the fuck does that mean?

How good is that though? Let's say i will encrypt my disgusting porn folder and use my fingerprint to access (the fingerprint will be converted into a password hash or some shit), if some leet hacker steals my phone how hard will it be for him to fap to my porn?

>>60429867
What is want to know is, if i wait 72 hours will it work then? Or is it some retarded bug? I don't want to fuck with it if waiting will actually solve it

>>60429891
They both score around 40k in antutu, and like I said there's really no difference on how smooth and lag-free they run (in fact if I remember correctly the OPO was a bit laggier but that's probably just the custom ROM I was running on it)

>>60429956
I don't know, for me it's more about convenience that security. And it's more than enough to stop your average street nigger getting access.

>>60430023
If the security is a joke, then there is no point in using it, in that case you might as well turn it off and then use the scanner as an ON button with any finger
I don't want to use the fingerprint security if it's just placebo

I have a LG g3 and was looking at the zuk z2 awhile back, is it still relevant? What's better than the z2 for the money?

>>60428848
Is the note 4 better tho? Im iffy about the ui. Can I upgrade to nougat?

>>60430230
Yes it's better, other than the camera. And it already has Nougat. If you don't want to use MIUI there's several stock android based ROMs to install.

>>60430230
It has official nougat but only beta and you need to unlock the bootloader to install it
But it also has lineage os 14 support, so why the fuck would you even want that piece of shit miui, are you a masochist?

>>60430267
>>60430340
I've never installed a custom rom, I assume its easy, right?

>>60430052
>If the security is a joke
I didn't say that. I just don't think there exists a phone that's completely unhackable. Even that terrorist iphone eventually got cracked by the FBI. But your phone ending up in the hands of some leet hacker is an unlikely scenario. Having some security is still better than no security.

>>60430362
Yes. You unlock the bootloader (ask for the permission now, it takes several days to get it)
Then you use the adb shell to flash a twrp recovery, then you boot into the recovery and flash the desired rom. if you are flashing the miui official beta only flash it, if you decide to flash the lineage os then after flashing it, you need to also flash gapps or your google shit won't work.
And obviously you need the correct rom for your phone, something like a sony xperia rom won't of course work on your xiaomi, Android isn't windows, there isn't just one version for all phones
Is it worth doing all that? YES.
I would never ever go back to that archaic piece of bloated shit official rom

>>60430340
I thought official MIUI ROMs could be installed with a locked bootloader?

>>60430422
>terrorist iphone
the only way to do that would be to guess the password if the phone was encrypted or by finding a weakness in the encryption and that doesn't happen almost ever anymore
So all you need to do is to have a password long enough so that the CIA super server farm can't guess it with the on gogol of attempts per second

>>60430461
the stable ones released by xiaomi, but they obviously won't let normalfags just install buggy betas and cry about it

>>60428694
The designated streets are over that way --->

>>60430473
The phone was set to delete all data after 10 incorrect pin attempts so they obviously did find a weakness in the encryption. Regular brute force won't really work as the wait time increases between each incorrect PIN entry.

>>60430501
I don't use Android

>>60430747
>after 10 incorrect pin attempts
i am pretty sure they can take the phone apart and clone the memory, and then just run their brute force at no delay to crack the encryption. the automatic deletion and shit only works if you are inputing the password manually into the iphone, but they just downloaded the whole system image and worked on it on their computers

>>60430120

Pls respond

>>60430860
>i am pretty sure they can take the phone apart and clone the memory
Any source on that? I doubt the FBI would first try to tell Apple to unlock the phone and then pay hackers $900,000 to do it if that was possible for them to do all along.

Hi /g/.

I've had a OnePlus One for about 2½ years now and it's getting really slow and weird bugs have started popping up (sometimes I can't answer calls).

I was thinking about installing a new OS tonight since I'm still running on the original Cyanogenmod which is just a swiss cheese of security holes and all kinds of shit.

What's your recommendation /g/? What is the go-to OS for an old OnePlus One?

>>60432306
Yeah that's kinda what I noticed.... I dunno why, I just don't really like that phone much. Meanwhile the duraforce XD fits all my requirements and has a bigger battery to boot. but it's not verizon compatible. And AT&T's jerked my parents around with their bill and at one point fucked up their internet in a way that it took 2 weeks to get someone to figure out the fuck happened (weird story, I can greentext it if anyone wants ammo to scare people off from At&T.) So I'm not going with them. However I am fine with "out-dated" tech. I started off with a motorola droid 2 when the 4 was the latest and greatest. The only reason I'm even looking at new phones is the 3 (my current phone) is showing it's age when it comes to actually pulling up mobile sites. I can get 4chan reliably, and my bank and well that's about it. anything else is more complicated than the 3 can handle now. I tried a droid 4 last summer, but, it did not impress (possibly may have had a bad one as it was losing close to 10% battery every hour while in airplane mode) and ended up going back to the 3 as a result since I didn't just toss it like some people might.

>>60431956
No I just don't want to have to take a small loan out, or get it on credit... I've worked too damn hard to cashflow my life. I'm not going to fuck that up over a phone.

Currently on a galaxy nexus, want something faster with actually okay battery life. A decent camera or dual-sim would be a good bonus. Country is canada, carrier is virgin. Ideally I would pay around 400 canadian pesos but more is fine if it's in line with features.

>>60432662
Android phones get really slow over the years. IIRC, the memory sectors fragment over time. You'll probably be better off going with Oxygen OS if you want to replace the OS since Cmod is not supported anymore.

>>60429604
It's the street price, so...

>>60433344
Yeah Cyanogenmod hasn't been supported for quite some time now. Do you know if Lineage OS is any good?

>>60433591
It's basically the same shit but newer.

>>60433344
OxygenOS isn't supported anymore on the OPO either

>>60433591
CM died because the head neckbeards got into a fight so one of them left and forked CM and renamed it LineageOS and the other one was like fuck modding Android and went outski, smart guy

>>60433711
>>60433767
So which one is the better pick?

I just want it to be responsive and not buggy really so I can keep using my phone until Oneplus 5 comes out.

>>60433819
hmmm.... i wonder... a dead rom with no support, or actively developed rom... which one could better.... hmm.... we might never know

>>60433838
Fair enough. Thanks for the input anyway.

>>60434214
I'll do that. Thanks for the input.

if i fuck up unlocking the bootloader will that also break the fastboot mode?
Because if no, then it's fine, i can just reflash an offi rom, if yes i have a brick

>>60434166
do these actually exist? I would like to get a 10 inch or more with some high DPI, maybe like 150 or so. Also, how many colors do these have? I'd still use a tablet if it just has a few colors.

>>60434330
>value a good camera and waterproofing
Then you would have got a Galaxy S8 or LG G6

Would dropping my dsl for unlimited data be smart? Can companies tell if you're tethered to a computer?

im abit of a retard when it comes to screens so please dont bully me too hard here, youtube is 16:9 aspect ratio and ive seen alot of stuff about the s getting black bars because of its aspect ratio, but does the g6 also get black bars with its 18:9 aspect ratio?

>>60435157
im a retard as i said

>>60435157
>>60435186
and if it does, why does samsung get alot more hate for it than LG?

I reallycan't decide between the S8 and S8+... I have pretty big hands so the extra size of the s8+ isnt an issue, but i cant decide if thelarger screen justifies the extra £100 price tag or however much it is ;_;

Good GSM phone for US around $200?

I really hate this removing-the-3.5mm-jack meme.

>>60435224
>>60435186
Well obviously there'll be black bars when playing 16:9 content on 18:9 display (the S8 is 18.5:9). Dunno why Samsung gets more hate for it, guess it's because they're more popular and people love hating on them.

shit camera but if you don't mind then it's perfect. I'm not upgrading mine for a long time. If you need good pictures you're better off with another phone though, I have an actual digital camera that i love using so that wasn't a problem for me. As updates have come through the phone has felt faster and faster since I've gotten it which is the opposite of most phones. Battery life on current nougat is excellent too.

Kind of, but some can tell when you're doing it so I'd be careful if I was you

Looking for a phone with removable battery, waterproof that is dual sim!

Thanks!

>>60436731
I don't do it enough to cause any issues, and I'm using a prepaid MVNO, so if I get in trouble I can just activate a new SIM and pop it in.

I was just confused at first because I told a friend that hotspot worked fine, and customer support later told me they didn't support it when my friend couldn't tether on his iPhone.

>>60436819
Whos your MVNO? Don't the require you to register when you activated it?

So I have a rooted Galaxy S7, and I'm interested in an app that has a free trial version and apparently after 30 days you have to buy the pro.

Forgive me if this is a really stupid question, but is it possible to circumvent this restriction and just use the app for free forever?

>>60436883
Simple Mobile, which is a T-Mobile MVNO. I work at a cellular store so I can activate a SIM through the dealer portal. Literally just enter an ICCID and the desired plan and you're done.

That's where things get weird, the NSA leak showed that they had exploits for pretty much all versions of IOS meaning they did not even have to ask Apple.You could argue that these organisations don't want to speak or share info but that seems highly implausible. What is more other similar juridical cases where running to unlock IPhones in different courts. My guess would be that their real aim was to have a backdoor in some Encryption standerd or at least press in this direction. When done properly there is no way even the those organisations could get in. If they included a backdoor they would able to READ all content they are able to find on the web.

Currently there is a big push to encrypt our data, this would blow a huge hole in those organisations their work. So they are pressuring companies to release flawed versions of these encryption systems so they can continue to read people's info.

Ideally they would want some backdoor that is "Just for us :^)", which always works out great right? To protect us from "Muh terrorists :^)".

But they have to remain silent now because of that massive leak, but they will continue to try and pressure encryption until they get what they want. Politicians not knowing what is or how it works just try to also spin it in "Muh terrorists".

It's no surprise that they were always able to get in. The whole San Bernardino shooter fiasco was just an attempt to set precedent for being able to strongarm manufacturers into making backdoor tools for them. Also no surprise when Apple's argument that those tools would eventually be leaked ended up being proven correct.

I have noticed there are antiglare tempered crystals now, are those worth it?

This is not my home board but I'm hoping you guys don't mind my normie question ITT

I need a new phone, but I honestly only use my smartphone to text, call, go on facebook, and take pictures. I barely use the "smart" part of it and constantly wish there was like a 100 dollar phone that only had these features but had good battery life.

Is there a phone that can do this reliably and not cost me an arm and a leg?

Thanks for reading. Pic unrelated but all I can offer.

>>60432036
>best battery life

why do i see all iphone users asking for a charger or desperately looking for an outlet to plug their phones into?

>>60439021
The efficiency of iPhones and iOS is offset by their tiny as fuck batteries.

I played with a 5s for a while and although its idle drain is amazing, as soon as I started doing anything demanding my battery meter plummeted like a rock.

The iPhone 6s isn't much better. Optimizations don't matter much when you only have 1715 mAh to work with.

My Nexus 5x only has a 2700 mAh battery, but I average 10%-12% usage an hour, including YouTube.

Sprint
>Features
Near to stock android, and overall just a reliable phone with pretty good battery. An SD card slot would be nice but isnt a deal breaker at this point bc I know

A. My options are pretty limited with sprint
and
B. After the shit bootloop issue my G4 has gotten multiple times in the 2 years ive had it im not going to be too excited to commit to them again.

>Budget
Well basically most new phones are around the same lease price ballpark, so as long as it's around 25$ a month lease Im fine with that.

>Size
Dont really care about this much either. My G4s size is fine, I personally feel as if a bigger screen just isnt worth the price increase or small battery increase that may occur. So a 5 inch screen is fine for me.

Overall, I really just want a phone that can work on sprint that is all around pretty reliable and get's android updates fast. My past two phones have been an S4 and then the G4, My S4 gave me some insane problem where the "phone" app was killing my battery even in cyanogenmod and other custom roms, not to mention the screen also randomly died on me once and the charging port broke on it's own randomly as well, which I replaced myself but Samsung and sprint tried to charge 100$ for. My G4 has given me the bootloop issue multiple times but besides that I can't complain too much. It's been pretty reliable and most issues I come across seem to be software issues. I've been considering a pixel but I figured I'd ask here first for other opinions.

>>60440981
S7 or G5+.

>>60440981
Do yourself a favor and end your service
You don't need the latest flagship to have a good phone
You don't need to pay upwards of 70-100$ a month for shitty service
Just buy a phone and get a prepaid SIM for a GSM network and save yourself

>>60441024
I would love to do that, however it's not an option for me as I have a family on the same plan as me and I'd prefer everything to be centralized rather than everyone having a different carrier etc...

>>60441058
Man, I truly feel sorry for you then
When will everyone's phone be paid off? Considering Sprint now basically has no contracts except for the phones, when the last contract is up, just drop the service, I did and I'm spending less money than I did with Sprint, and I used to sell the shitty service

>>60441090
It is pretty bad, the thing that has made me keep it throughout the years is the unlimited for everyone. I am grandfathered into an old unlimited plan before they started jacking prices up ridiculously. It's not gonna be fun to have everyone on a prepaid thing when god knows how much data, texts, phone calls etc... Everyone is going to use. I end up spending around 300 a month total for 4 lines unlimited everything. Some months we will use a ridiculous amount of data, im talking like 8gb a line bc everyone uses spotify and other data heavy services, I looked elsewhere (AT&T, Verizon) and even with truly not unlimited data they still end up costing more because like I said, im grandfathered into a plan that had a discount included bc of my job and everything plus I have TRULY unlimited data bc of that.

>>60441090
Also, the 8 is more of an average lol, some months ive seen 25gb used

Can anyone recommend me a case for my Moto G5 plus? I want something light. I wanted dbrand's wood case but I don't think they support the current model.

So the only thing stopping me from buying the Xiaomi Note 4 (global) is the shitty UI and the fact that it doesnt have quick charging.

Xperia XA vs Moto G5? I know moto g5 is better phone but xa is a little bit more compact and it's pretty comfortable in the hand and looks nice.

T-Mobile, USA

$200

My MAIN concern is that it needs some form of quick charging, I don't care which standard. After that I would like good rom support.

Is there anything for me?

Is there a quality upgrade from a Moto X Pure right now, that's around the same amount of money ($300)?

I'm >>60443201 and I think I've decided on the Moto G5 Plus, is there any reason I shouldn't or should get something else?

Depends on whether it's the mediatek or snapdragon version

Budget: <$300
Wanted Features: Good enough specs where I won't have to upgrade for 3-5 years. Physical keyboard would be swell.
Size: Not that important to me. As long as the phone is comfortable then I'm fine.
Carrier: Cricket Wireless

I was eyeballing the Blackberry priv and passport b/c of the physical keyboard. Anyone have experience with either?

Is there any infos on which countries will get the better version of the HTC U11 (the 6GB/128GB version)?

Any news on a compact Xperia xz? What's the chance of it happening? Small hands here can't handle anything bigger than 4.8.

>>60427178
Be honest, what do you use NFC for?

I have a big phone with NFC and a 5" without it.

If I want to connect the phone with NFC to a bluetooth headset with nfc then it's

go through the settings and turn nfc on and turn the bluetooth headset on and try to connect them with that

or just turn bluetooth on and the headset on and pair the devices

to me it's just an extra step. All I've ever done with it was check how it works.

Not bad for a $140 phone.

>>60446073
That's pretty bad

Do you, /g/uize use ssh/telnet on intelligent phones? Is it worth? What clients do you use? Can it replace pc?

Just cracked my Zenfone 2 and been thinking it's probably cheaper to buy a new phone.
Pretty loose on the price range but was wondering what's comparable to it?
Didn't enjoy using the Intel chip in the Zenfone as nothing made use of it.

>>60444456
Xiaomi just released the kernel sources so expect the LineageOS build to become official soon

>>60445799
....why turn it off? Especially if you're going to use mobile payments, you're never gonna turn it off

I never had a smartphone, but I'm looking to buy one. I played around with a Lenovo A1000 with Lollipop and it lagged like crazy. Do Android flagships have this problem too or just entry level phones?

>>60446488
What do you think?

>>60446573
I'm asking because I've heard people say 'Lagdroid' in the past, so I'm not sure if this is still the case with today's mobile software, or only a particular manufacturer.

>>60446606
my bv6000 never lags, and that's not even close to today's flagship performance

Are chinkphones really a security risk these days with all the phone-home shit?

>>60445723
The passport still runs BB software but you have playstore access and the apps will run, only issue is it's an older SD 801 SoC, and I'm not sure for how long it's software will have support
The Priv has the keyboard and a newer chipset, but the 808 is flawed and has the tendency to overheat, also the photo processing software isn't as good as the lens the phone has, and I don't think the 808 will give the performance you want
Between the two I'd go for the passport, or wait for the Keyone

>>60447046
If I were to forego a physical keyboard, what would be a good long-term purchase phone? Something I could keep and comfortably use for the foreseeable future.

>>60446247
Honor 8 would be a good upgrade in battery life, cpu, and camera
>>60447069
Well the problem is your budget, you can't have a phone for under $300 last 3-5 years, but if you insist on around $300, I would recommend
Honor 8 32GB
ZTE Axon 7
Moto G5+
LeEco Le Max 2 X829 or the Le Pro 3 of you can find a decent deal on them
3-5 years will probably require custom ROM support, so I would suggest the ZTE, Moto, or the LeEco's considering they have LineageOS support

>>60445723

Thanks for the help. I'm pretty knowledgeable about the PC ecosystem, however smartphones are a mystery to me. For a long lasting phone, how much do I need to spend?

>>60447523
Well ignore the idiots telling people to buy the Samsung Galaxy S8+, it's a fragile mess with shotty software and a decent camera and you'll never get a decent screen protector or case on one to protect it
Typically the Google phones are the ones that will last year's due to the software support, and from what I've been reading apparently the Pixels have good cameras as well, but they're almost unobtainable due to Google's fuckery
Which leads me to recommend either wait for the OnePlus5 or Axon 8, or if you can wait you can get the OnePlus3T or the Axon 7
ZTE enrolls you in a program when you register your phone that provides free protection for two years and if you want to upgrade to the next big thing will give you discounts, but it's ultimately up to, just don't buy into the flagship hype because it's becoming increasingly irrelevant to pay that much for a good phone

Cute Maki

Looking for a second device.
My current main phone is the iPhone 7 Plus. I was looking to get a second phone which preferably is android to have both OS's available.

The phone I'm looking for should have a big, atleast decent screen, should be rather fast and have good battery life. I'll probably just use it to shitpost and watch porn so I don't need a good camera and gimmicks what so ever.
I don't care if it's a chinkphone or not, just hook me up with something not that pricey

The Note series of xiaomi phones do not have a good DAC so don't expect too much, buy the Mi series if you want decent audio or better yet an HTC/Sony phone, LG is also good with audio but it isn't called Loops Good© for nothing.

Flash dolby atmos/viper4fx on your redmeme, then fuck around with the equalizer if you're not satisfied with the default config on bass/lows/highs and whatever, even if you decide to not mess around and just flash dolby and turn it on it's already a massive improvement, if it still sounds like shit then buy some better earbuds as well.

it says Deca in the about phone section, so its mediatek
Also swapped to the global rom but still no tmobile service.

Z Play, how is this a question?

>>60451254
The S7 is prettier and more future proof due to its 2016 flagship chipset, 2k resolution and amount of ram but touchwizz fucks all that in the ass making it irrelevant unless you go for custom roms, all the Z play offers is expensive gimmicks and a bigger battery, specs are identical to the G5 plus sans amoled screen.

>buys a Mediatek phone with no US LTE bands
You double-fucked up. Should have got the Redmi Note 4 Global. I'd look into returning that phone.

Would you put a dbrand skin on your XL?

I've seen a pixel with a marble dbrand skin and it looked sexy af

Hey /g/ need your help with this as I can't find a solution. I'm trying to access data on the internal memory of 2 bricked phones without root, can't find a proper program that can do this most of them don't detect the phones. Both phones are LG P999DW and HTC amaze 4G.

Yeah gonna have to. This was advertised on amazon as international version but came with wrong rom and processor.

>>60451512
If it's saying it's the 32GB Octa-core, and they're staying it's the international model, it probably has the SD 625 and not the Mediatek

>probably has the SD 625
it didn't though

Send it back, it's not an international model, only the SD 625s were international models

thoughts on the s8+? I heard it stutters.

Jerry Rig's durability test was quite impressive. Well more impressive than the Pixel

Using project Fi. Wondering what phone to upgrade to from my Nexus 6. I can switch back to ATT if needed, but still like Android.
Debating on biting the bullet and switched to ATT and getting the BOGO on iPhones

What ROM did you choose for you Redmi?

Maybe I just miss my G4 because it was the best phone I ever had for 2+ years, but I swear the camera was better. I can't seem to get a good shot with my G6 unless the lighting is absolutely perfect.
