/spg/ - Smartphone General - Still Waiting for Nokia Edition

I'm currently using an s4 mini while waiting for the note 8.

Feels kinda nice having such a small phone, I end up using it solely for communication and not browsing the web etc.

When are snapdragon 660 phones going to be announced?

>>61088215
I'm considering an iPhone 6S, but I haven't actually tried one. I have a few questions:

Is it true that you can't download files from the internet to the iPhone's storage without jailbraking?
I am considering the iPhone mostly because of it's good user experience, such as having little touch latency and smooth animations.
Are there any Android phones that match iPhone's touch latency?

Is OnePlus 5 broken by design? Do you guys get the Wifi working?

>>61088350
From OP
>It is likely that the delayed arrival of Moto X4 is because Qualcomm is struggling to fulfil the demand of Snapdragon 660 that is expected to power a couple of mid-range phones including the Moto X4.

Oppo R11 already came out with the SD660, sounds like we'll be seeing more phones with it in the coming months. There's Moto X4, Samsung Galaxy C10 and Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 / Mi6c, all rumored to have the SD660.

oh the moto g4 play I bought for my dad arrived and it feels and looks pretty sexy, no lag everything smooth
did not expect that for 100€
and it's thin enough

it makes me question why I should ever spend like 800€ on a phone (if I don't care about gaymes and shit)

Is the Redmi 4X a good replacement for my aging 1+1? The resolution is lower of course (which I don't mind) but it seems better in every other way? Do Xiaomeme devices have poor ROM development scenes?

>>61088450
You shouldn't
Onòy people which play too much with their phone or that need to show off how much disposable income they can waste in stuff like this need that stuff

>>61088454
Most Xiaomi phones have great ROM development scenes, but for some reason the 5" Redmis seem to get way less developed for them than the Redmi Note phones. So get a Redmi Note 4X / 4 Global if that's what you want.

>>61088450
>it makes me question why I should ever spend like 800€ on a phone
Good, you're breaking the conditioning

Say I want:

>Snapdragon 625 minimum or competitor alternative
>Battery at least 3500mAh
>AMOLED screen
>NFC
>Fingerprint Scanner
>USB-C
>Will work in the UK

What's the absolute cheapest phone that fits all these requirements?

>>61088585
Lenovo P2 for £200 from Three, has everything you listed except USB-C.

I wonder if there are specific phones I should get if I listen to music 24/7
or if every phone has kinda the same sound quality

>>61088665
htc has the best DAC if im not mistaken

is this the best thing i could get for £150? Or a new G4 play would be better for the same price?

>>61088585

And if you absolutely need USB-C then Moto Z Play, too bad you missed it being on sale for 249€

>>61088373
Yes you can't open your downloaded files unless you install appropriate apps. For example, if you try to download a zip file through Safari, you will need Documents app. The user experience is bretty gud but it all comes down to personal preference, you might want to have torrenting capabilities and such. I recommend borrowing an iPhone from one of your friends and try it out on the spot.

>>61088705
Alright, I'll try to find someone who has one.

>>61088665

It's 5.5, i'm looking for a 5" phone

>>61088585
Bq aquaris x has almost all of those except for the battery.

looking for a new phone since my current one is old and dying. i did a bit of research but i don't know enough to come up with a good decision:

- needs to work with sprint cdma/lte
- i prefer a fingerprint reader (can live without though)
- must be able to root
- preferably nonbloat rom or something i can replace easily

my family uses samsung, right now i have a galaxy s5 but the manufacturing quality doesn't seem the best and it came installed with a lot of bloat that i had to remove. good idea to avoid samsung?

What is the best lont term phone I can get in EU for around 300 Euros?
I need good battery, decent SoC, at least 32GB of memory adn good modding support, so it can live like my G2 for 3 years (it died on me randomly two days ago, i'll miss him)
I was looking at Le eco Max 2, zuk z2 pro or the Axon 7 on chinese shops, but i fear it being a fake
What you suggest?

Downloaded and applied L Speed and it's pretty much quadrupled my standby battery life. Colour me extremely surprised.

Is this thing widely known? I just stumbled upon it in the XDA app.

Just got a OnePlus 3T from my friend for 100$. It is basically brand new and it is amazing. Way better than my Nexus 5X.

>>61088951
>100$
did he realise he could have easily got $300 for it?

>>61088881

>>61089029

>>61089402
Redmi Note 4 Global

Planning on buying the Nokia 5.

Or is there something better for the same price (or less)

>>61088679
please kek bless me with the answer

>>61089112
OP3/3t are not at that price range
Moto G5 is nice but not that great, by specs are be lower than zuk or le eco
Mi5/s seem gud but last time i tried to mod xiaomi stuff i ended up wasting about 6 hours and days waiting for them, have they gotten better at this, also seems to be a bit expensive

>>61089570
if you find it at 150£ it seems like a pretty gud deal

>>61089612
OP3T can be had for 350€ from Gearbest, also you can probably find OP3/3T at around 300-350€ if you buy used. In terms of modding support they're the best choice.

>>61088984
And the best part is he sold it to me because he was switching from T-Mobile to AT&T and didn't realize that it would still work perfectly fine on AT&T.

>>61089642
yeah but my cap is 300 soooooooooo
Stil if i find it used at 300 It's a deal
Care to give an opinion on Le Eco or Zuk ?

>LG (LoopsGood)
kek

Moto G5+ or Lenovo P2? The P2's battery is really, really attractive. How are Lenovo for support longterm? Even if they stop supporting it, will there likely be roms (lineage etc) for this phone?

>>61089663
Both are fine, modding support isn't as good as Oneplus or Xiaomi but there's ROMs available for both (LeEco has official LineageOS too)

How is the battery efficiency with snapdragon 625 vs 660?

>>61088621
Can you order it to Finland?

>>61089801
No, unless you have a friend in the UK who can ship it to you

Where can i buy S8+ in EU (unlocked) and pay with PayPal?

>>61089817
fuckk, that phone is literally hard to get.

>>61089837
It was sold by Verkkokauppa.com for a while so it might be worth it keeping eyes on Tori.fi, huuto.net etc. if a used one shows up for sale.

One got sold just a few days ago
https://www.matkapuhelinfoorumi.fi/threads/lenovo-p2-32-gt-dual-sim.114239/

>>61089785
SD625 is more efficient as it's using low power A53-cores while the SD660 is using high power Kryo 260 cores.

>>61089769
Lenovo (which owns Motorola too) are pretty shit with updates, they do update most of their phones but they take ages to release the updates. Moto G5+ will get Android O 100% guaranteed but The P2 is an older phone so it might not get it.

Moto G5+ already has plenty of ROMs available, it has an unofficial LineageOS which will eventually become an official build. (All the Moto phones have great ROM support). The P2 doesn't have as good ROM support but there's still quite a few ROMs available.

I'd also check out Redmi Note 4 Global, it also has the SD625 SoC and a 4100mah battery. The Dev build of MIUI gets weekly updates and Xiaomi is still updating phones it's released in 2012. There's also plenty of custom ROMs available for it on XDA.

does higher megapixel count make the picture worse in bad lighting?

In aliexpresss redmi note 4 32gb/3gb model will be for sale for 120€. Is 3gb enough ram and 32gb enough storage with android+apps now days?

>>61090029
Have you tried different the camera modes/settings to see if it improves?

>>61090025
Ah okay, thanks!
Cool, I'll give that a look.

>>61090075
Snapdragon or Mediatek version? 3gb ram and 32gb is still fine, especially with expandable storage

>>61090124
snapdragon

>>61090111

yeah.

night mode actually worsens it at bad indoors lighting, funnily enough

>>61090029
Because it's dark. You need to increase ISO and keep shutter speed above at least 1/30.

>>61088750
Thanks dude! Is a HTC 10 still viable? I also need it for work so I am on it all day with calls, emails and shit posting.

I'm having a hard time sorting through phones with dual active sims, can anyone give me advice on what to call them to better find them? I've been looking for one to combine my work phone and personal phone so I don't have to carry two around.

On thw market for a new amart phone.
what does g recommend?
Price range is from 300-500 and would like something really really slim

>>61090173
Yes it's still very viable. Battery life isn't the greatest but otherwise it's still a great phone

>>61090232
country / carrier?

>>61090186
>It's made out of glass and the frame is flexible.
>It's missing the 3.5mm jack.
Atleast they include the best earbuds with a phone so far.
Measuring the ear canal and applying a counter equalizer is some innovation.
>It has average bezels
>No stereo front facing speakers

I'm considering getting it for the sound innovation alone, the only thing that keeps me away is the build quality and the price.

I don't think it's a worthy upgrade to the legendary One m8. Not without stereo front facing speakers or a full metal body.

Is there an app for iPhone that monitors my PC at home and possibly able to shut it down if need be? I'm googling now but I figured I'd ask here.

>>61090428

My Xperia Z3 Compact died due to water damage after 3 years. I loved my phone for its battery live and compact size. Never had any performance issues either. It had poor speakers but it was only a minor problem for me. Now I'm looking for a replacement, but it seems like not a single alternative for z3c was released since then. Any suggestions? Looking for

You can tap the share button to relay the files to appropriate apps.

You can't move entire folders but you can zip them and relay them that way.

Either way, it appears that files move around in the apps at the speed of 300MB per second, so I wouldn't expect a delay while relaying the data. At least on an iPhone 6s or higher.

>>61094572
that's usable but pretty bad, i guess if you share the file to another app it will make a copy of it in the app folder

I need help deciding on my next phone, in torn between the oneplus 5 and the galaxy s8.
Here are my arguments (pros):
Oneplus 5:
Excellent fingerprint scanner
I like the dual camera gimmick (bokeh especially)
Easily rootable
Dash charge
OxygenOS
$540

Galaxy s8:
Water resistant (no balls to use it in water, won't do it ever).
Great tested camera
Samsung brand name (trusted big company)
Wireless charging (probably won't use it)
Iris scanner (won't use it, prefer fingerprint)
Huge screen with tiny bezels.
$650

For me both phones have cons, but i feel like the s8 has more cons than the oneplus 5. I need something to convince me to go for one or the other, I've seen countless reviews and none of them we're of any help.
I don't know if this matters but i can only get my hands in an exynos s8.
Thoughts?

>>61092985

what worries me more is warranty because you always have to import those chink devices from some third party

>>61095098
I think i should have stated what i consider to be cons for each device (for me atleast) so here goes, this might add a bit of context to the argument:
Oneplus 5:
Oneplus make promises they don't keep, not so good on the updates.
No ois so 4k recording has an earthquake effect.
No water resistance (even though i won't ever use my phone near water i still might drop it in accidentally, something that had happened before to me)

Galaxy s8:
Samsung (its a pro AND a con, more specifically the Samsung experience)
Root voids warranty and his long you have to wait for root.
That retarded fingerprint sensor.
Nothing other than those but they really turn me off of the phone.

LG G6+ or the G6 Asian version
Otherwise V20. All three have the same quad DAC that can really create an unique experience if you have some nice headphones

>>61095410
I have literally never played a mobile game, but the axon 7 has a nicer screen/audio/etc.

I really like the long term support though. HMD said they wanted to be the new nexus, but there's no root or custom roms on xda so I'm worried there will be no dev scene

>>61095369
there is the Nokia 7 and 8 (probably with SD660), and 9 (SD835) coming later this year, but they haven't been even announced yet so they're still months away from being available

>>61095465
that's good to hear
>>61095531
I've been using a half dead s4 while I've waited the last six months for something nice to come out, I don't know how much longer I want to wait. I wish the new nokia phones were coming out now

that's because the phone isn't available anywhere but China yet

>>61095590

I have a OPO, looking to upgrade to a OP5.

I really like my OPO, it's comfy and I think it's one of the most well designed phones ever to grace this earth (I have sandstone version).

Thinking of upgrading to a OP5, is it worth it? Is there really any difference? Considering I don't really play games on it, I usually just browse chans and use it for social media, is there any real advantages to upgrading to a OP5?

Also, looking to buy my younger brother his first smart phone, something new that'll keep up with his friends but not terribly expensive (anything under $800 is fine).

Advice?

>>61095621
You can buy it but the phones start shipping next month.

>>61095644
It's still on presale everywhere

>>61095716
>I usually just browse chans and use it for social media
Even a $100 phone will do that

I want a chinkphone, shill the phone you want me to buy anon

>>61091275
V20 or 3T. Media experience vs raw performance

>>61095278
>>61095036
If you care about having stock android, less bloat, root and custom roms then OP5. If you care about the camera then S8.

Hopped on the $300 off Galaxy S8 promo a few days ago. Still backordered.
Looking forward seeing it come in the mail.

>>61095120
Google pixel has probably the best camera atm
Then U11
S8
G6

You're me. Problem is that nothing worth buying came out. My last hopes lie on the Nokia 9

>>61096010
exactly, I was holding out for an extra 3 months for the OP5 and it was a disappointment. now it looks like I have to wait even longer for the new nokia lineup or just get the nokia 6 when it comes to the US, or give up entirely and get an axon 7 or something

>>61096085
>out for an extra 3 months for the OP5
You're totally me. I waited for the S8, and it was a retarded product all around. I waited for the G6, but it was mediocre. I waited for the OP5, just to discover OnePlus jumped the shark. I'm also considering to settle on the Nokia 6, when it will get here in the EU, at least it will survive even a nuclear war, although from the rumors the Nokia 9 will be the ultimate dream phone.

Can someone tell me why I bought a S8+?

>>61096199
where in europe are you? it's been released in a couple euro countries. We share the same struggle. I am eternally waiting for the nokia 9 but my s4 is on the brink of death. maybe I'll get the nokia 6 to tide me over until the new lineup. I'd feel dumb selling a couple month old phone but I don't want to keep using the s4 until september or something

Bought Le Max 2 6/64Gb grey version. for under £190 shipped. What would be the best ROM security & battery- wise?

>>61096159
USA, no carrier specifically atm. I'd want something that I could do basic things with: surfing the web, gaming, etc. Doesn't have to be the "hottest new thing", but I'd like quality if the price is right.

Phablet-size would be desired, as I am upgrading from a Galaxy Note 2

>>61096281
Le Max 2 has a 5.7" screen with 2560x1440 pixels. Battery life is not ideal and the fingerprint reader is fucky. Otherwise great.

>>61096256
Italy. It should have hit the market in these days, but on amazon.it (I'd buy there for the amazing warranty they offer) there's no sign of the Nokia 6 yet.
I think my S4 can hold on, but it's really a painful user experience. Still it would be a dumb move to get the 6 when what I really want is the 9.

>>61096317
Hmm. any alternatives that have a market average under 200?

>>61096281
Moto G4 / G4 Plus

>>61096350
depends on how long you're willing to wait for the 9. it might end up being the same as the 6 release; 7 months after china gets it, so does the rest of the world. if they announce/release in september, that's a long time to still be using the s4

>>61096524
Quick question -- if LineageOS is cyanogenmod's successor, than doesn't that mean it still has that proprietary bullshit?

Also while I'm at it, are there any recommended ROMs for Galaxy S6? I know LineageOS has versions for S5 and S7 but IRONICALLY... not S6.

>>61096627
What proprietary bullshit? I think you're mixing up the open source, community maintained CyanogenMod with the commercial and proprietary Cyanogen OS.

What variant of S6 is it?

>>61096691
You mean the carrier? Sprint.
And I had no idea they were different.

>>61096524
If I use LineageOS can I use my banking applications? Or do I have to obey the botnet?

thoughts on mi5?

>>61096899
Nexus 5 for under 100? How and where.

>>61096899
The biggest issue with the Nexus 5 is the shit battery life. LG G2 has basically the same hardware as the Nexus 5 but it also has a bigger battery. Don't know how the prices are where you live but you might be able to find used 2014 flagships (Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, OPO)


Also if you have Amazon prime you can get a BLU R1 HD for $60 and a Moto G4 Play for $99

>>61097019
ebay/craiglist

>>61097034
is the BLU R1 HD a good deal for $110?

>>61097034
Your used flagships from 2014 will have reall bad battery life because their batteries are worn out already. Also in One m8 it's pain in the ass to change the battery.

>>61097059
ehh, not really. It's only worth it with the Amazon discount.

>>61096223
Because it's still the most beautiful looking phone.

>>61097076
And a used Nexus 5 from 2013 won't have that problem?

Can't believe some of you fags fell for the S8 meme

The U11 is superior in every department. Samsung is already hemorrhaging money lost on the Shit8

>>61097076
I have a OPO with the original battery and it still gets great battery life

>>61097093
Yes of course I was just pointing out that battery life on those will suck.

>>61096755
Don't know enough about the S6 to recommend a ROM but here's what's available
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development

>>61096777
Yes, you'll be able to use your banking applications but you'll probably need Gapps installed, and Magisk to bypass Safety Net.

>>61097098
Uwot? The s8 is on backorder for 2-4 weeks every where

>>61097233
Artificial scarcity. The less people get their hands on a S8, the less people will realize how shit it is.

For 300-320$ I'm looking at a Moto G5 Plus or an Honor 8 in the 64GB models.
Notable differences are the slightly better camera (and dual rear camera) on the Honor and the USB C on the honor.
What are the advantages of a dual camera and USB C over micro USB?
Who has a longer software development life, Motorola or Huawei?

What can I sell a working, almost undamaged (nicks on the bezel) LG G Flex 2 for in burger bucks? I don't want someone coming to me angry when they find out it doubles as an electric heater.

I recently got the Samsung j5 and let me tell you guys. I am So impressed. It replaced my s6 that i lost and for £200 phone it's astonishing. I'd probably still pick this over an s6 for price to performance. Anyone else had a j5?

>>61097395
I should mention actually the lack of quick charge does suck. But I charge my phone at night and seem to always have battery by the end of my day

>>61093596
>worse battery life
>not a flagship in a small form factor anymore
>marginally better camera
>higher price tag/worse value
or so I've heard. would you recommend x compact?

>>61097395
J5 2016 or 2017?

Got an LG K3 for $24 plus tax. 70% off $79 at Target. Was looking at it for a while and saw $29 was the lowest. Android 6 is a bit different from 4 and 5.

Just remembered Fourth of July sales are coming up and I was going to wait.

NOOOOO THE X4 IS DELAYED!!!! Should I get the G5 Plus or continue waiting for QC's next midrange SoC?

>>61088450
Same here. My Moto G4 is pretty smooth, does everything I want. I wish it had a fingerprint scanner though, for security reasons (I use my phone for work). I only got it because in my older Moto G2 I couldn't have GPS navigation and music playing through Bluetooth at the same time.

>>61097426
Yes, it's a good phone without any major flaws like many other many phones seem to have (like no expandable storage, no headphone jack etc.). True, it's more of a midrange phone than a flagship but it should still be a noticeable upgrade from the Z3c. And it's not like there's plenty of alternatives available in terms of size.

Apparently Sony is releasing a compact size flagship again this year, the XZ1 Compact with SD835, 4GB of RAM and 2800mah, but I guess with a broken phone waiting isn't an option for you.

>>61097508

Is there announced any snapdragon 626 phones yet? How is the battery life compared to sd625?

When they are going for 10nm or 7nm on mobile processors?

>>61097661
Moto Z2 Play
Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro and C7 Pro
BQ Aquaris X and X Pro

Battery life will be virtually the same as the SD625, as the SD626 is simply an overclocked SD625

>>61097679
Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 are 10nm, Apple A11 will be 10nm and so will the Kirin 970. It might be until 2019 before we see 7nm mobile processors.

>>61097481

>so shitty screen
It's 4.7" so you don't need higher resolution

>so small battery
>so little RAM
iOS is better optimized than Android so it still gets better battery life and multitasks better than android phones with double the battery and RAM

>so bad processor
It's way more powerful than what's in any android phone SD835 and Exynos 8895 score around 2000 in Geekbench 4 single-core whereas the Apple A10 Fusion scores 3500.

>>61095036
>>61099677
FYI, I considered doing this myself but didn't think I'd like the S8 because of the software, the screen shape (easy to press the sides accidentally, no good screen protectors), and the location of the fingerprint scanner.

I'm currently thinking about buying the OP5 tomorrow, but I'm still considering other options.

I'd like a ~$450 phone with stock Android (or close to it), OIS, a fingerprint scanner, and water resistance. Specs aren't that important, since all I do is browse the web and take photos.

Is there any phone like that? I'd probably get the G6 if it were a bit cheaper.

>>61099555
Yes

>>61099752
Why not Sony?

>>61099773
Which Sony phone fits my criteria? I'm not familiar with their naming scheme.

>>61099677
There are too many clauses that forfeit the $200 and result in an automatic charge in there for me to feel particularly safe

Also I don't know if I want to give them my phone even after wiping it.

Is Sony's version of Android really that close to stock?

>>61099752
Actually considering the G6 now that I've found it unlocked on Amazon for $550. That's only $10 more than the high-end OP5, but with more features I want. It's a bit more than I really want to pay, but I'd love to have OIS and water resistance.

I have a Samsung S7 non edge. I always had android phones and lays ended up rooting and installing custom roms.

However, I have not done a single thing with this phone since I got it, basically because I was enjoying a one year warranty.

Now I would like to try new things, is it worth it?! Or Should I stick to the stock thing?

So why shouldn't I be looking at it as a good pickup?

Just to piss off reddit

That's true, I didn't check the store before. Even without the sale they are probably the best options though.

>>61101213

I just did a search for phones released this year that have 7.1 and it returned 25 results so no they're not, and you shouldn't buy the OP5 because it's chink shit that cheats at benchmarks and then throttles extensively to avoid igniting the air around it.

hey guys /int/ here. I need some advice so thanks in advance. my iphone 5s has died, it has been overheating for a couple months now, I had actually filled up its memory (which I think also did help to damage it)

Today it started going really slow, later in the evening the apps started failing. I tried deleting about half the images/memes I had already downloaded on my computer but which I was stubborn to delete off my phone (around 1100) to give it more space but the phone shut down. Later I restarted it and all the pictures were gone. Tried to restart it multiple times, the images were gone. Later on it shut down, I've tried to turn it on with no success, after the apple logo appears it shuts down again.

I looked into apple forums but they say plug it in to your computer and reset it using itunes, which does not work as it doesn't recognize it. I also tried doing the home button plus power for ten seconds but leads me to the same result.

So here's my question....
give me a better phone than the iphone SE from the cricket wireless website.https://www.cricketwireless.com/cell-phones/smartphones It's currently 169 usd. I rather not pay fucking 169 but it does look like it's a decent phone. I don't have much experience using androids.


Please give me a good advice, I need a phone to work and I probably will buy whatever I get from these replies tomorrow morning ASAP

Thinking of getting the OnePlus X for $200. Anything else have a better recommendation?

>>61101324
Moto G5 Plus

>>61099722

iPhone 7

blease don't ignore

>>61101284
Oh, that's true. Maybe the Mi6s will get it again, maybe not. Apple should be hanged for forcing this no headphone jack meme

What should I get for under $500

you faggots are forcing me to watch a bunch of meme videos on youtube

>it's chink shit that cheats at benchmarks and then throttles extensively to avoid igniting the air around it.

The guy from XDA who revealed the benchmark thing in the first place clarified what he said and how the OP5 works. They aren't cheating at benchmarks specifically, the processor uses different clusters for different shit, so when it needs to whip out its dick and load something it goes to the higher clock clusters. Which is what a benchmark makes it do. So its not that it's cheating on benchmarks, it's just tossing all the benchmark processing at the higher clusters. And the phone can handle it

>Finally, and at the risk of coming off as confrontational, I’d also like to take a moment to mention something that displeased me about this report’s reception: it has been shared all over the world thousands of times, and re-blogged by thousands of outlets as well, but its message and details are either shrouded in fog or dropped completely along the way. I’ve seen such blatant and appalling incorrect coverage of this article, with terrible misrepresentations of what we said, what we found, the mechanism itself, and OnePlus’ statement and plans for the future. In fact, here are some things I want such blogs to know: OnePlus didn’t “tamper” with reviewer units; the issue also extends to consumer units; it is a conscious decision by OnePlus; no, they did not tell us that would change; thermal throttling might be relaxed, but the phone is not at risk of explosion; there is no “cheat code”; we are actually happy with the device’s actual performance, do not twist our words; Qualcomm has nothing to do with this; we never “shamed” HTC and Samsung in our reports, we mentioned them in passing and for context in our first article, due to a much older incident. That’s just a fraction of the common errors I wish I could address.

>>61101546
>Too many articles and videos we’ve seen have had a fundamental flaw and misunderstanding that, in our opinion, butcher the hours of careful data collection and analysis that went into this article. What’s worse, the problem is exacerbated when we read Indian or Chinese blogs which further destroy our findings due to the inherent difficulties of translation. Ultimately, we are extremely disappointed in tech media’s handling of this report, especially those who used our conclusion to write “hit pieces” against OnePlus, which we really never intended. We said it above, we said it in our first impressions, and we said it again: the product itself is good, performance is phenomenal.

>better phone than iphone SE at a similar price range
you're fucked goy, just get the SE

I say this as an android owner, you do not want to settle for a poordroid at that price range. They are never supported for long and will lag lag lag. Premium phone, old model iPhone, dirt cheap android if you just need basic functionality, or nothing.

Midrange androids are the biggest cuck ever, there is no reason to buy them at all, people just buy them because they can't afford premium Androids and iPhones.

>buying a phone that has bezels like its 2010

I wanna get a cheap phone for my parents. I was looking at the Redmi note 4 or something but I'm not sure what else to consider? Anything else good around that price range?

My friend recently gave me his old Galaxy Note 4. If I give this phone to my little brother and buy myself a new $~400 chinkphone would it be a noticeable improvement, or would I be better off keeping the Note 4? I don't know much about phone specs

>>61101675
thanks for responding. I'm sure the goy connotation comes from not knowing about some mi6 stuff I was reading about? Probably the government or something spying on people through the processors. Not that I don't care but I don't care. The machine is too powerful to be giving it my energy.

Where's a place to get a non-chink and non-used Galaxy S5 battery lately? Recent Amazon reviews on the few available don't look too good

>>61098301
>How the fuck Iphone 7 can be 700€ with so shitty screen
Resolution does suck but it's pretty color accurate I hear which is its saving point.

>so small battery
I admit I am not sure what the deal is with this.

>so bad processor, so little ram etc.?
Now here's where you are wrong. The processor isn't bad, it's the fastest in a smartphone. The RAM also doesn't seem to matter since it still keeps apps in memory better than Androids with way more RAM than it.

Samsung's service center if you live in a bigger city, ideally in Seoul.

No it was just a generic insult. Back to mid range androids though I was probably a bit too tough on them. Some of them have things like waterproofing, so if you wanted a specific feature like that you would have to buy a midrange android rather than a cheap one.

But in a general sense, midrange androids are shit. Even if you are poor, you're better off just saving money by getting a dirt cheap one, or waiting for the next paycheck for something good. I would never buy midrange Android even if I had no money for a premium, it's just not giving much bang for your buck, imo.

It's like if I offer you these 3 prostitute choices

>Cheapest - not great looking but will do the job
>3x more than the first - not as bad looking at the previous but pretty much will do the same thing
>20x more the the first - literal goddess

Most of the features of a midrange Android are the exact same as a cheap one but the screen is slightly higher resolution, camera is a bit better, or whatever. Neither one will play the newest games or take great photos or anything. Both of them will cease to get updated and start to lag after a year. You may as well just get a good phone or spend less and go home with a poorfag one. I don't know about the SE but I have heard good things and it's technically like an iPhone 6 in a smaller package, and iPhone 6 is still really modern.

If that is your price range limit iPhone SE is probably the best. Haven't had an iPhone in forever though.

What's the thinkpad of smartphones?

>>61101938
using an actual thinkpad and not having a smartphone at all is the thinkpad of smartphones

>>61101924
Do you think a poorfag phone will work fine for stuff like uber and accurate gps navigation? If it does I might consider getting one while I get more more to buy something better only if it does that. Sadly at this moment uber is my money maker and just had a 2000 car repair, I rather not spend more money at this exact point.

>>61101938
Probably the Nexus line before Google killed it, but the Nexus line is more expensive than some actual chinkpads, and chinkpads were often about the price

>>61101980
poorfag phones will drain battery fast and have shitty screens that probably reflect in your eyes, but they should technically be able to do that stuff

if you are coming off an iphone for the first time you just have to realize not everything "just werks" on android

they all support maps and shit these days, but that doesn't mean using them isn't a pain in the ass

>>61102014
thanks for your answers, much appreciated pal

What's the name of the store and address?

Hello
I want to retire my old Motorola Moto G and buy a phone for my birthday in September (so there's time left)
Country: Germany
Carrier: I am using prepaid-SIM but it's shit (500mb mobile data, 9€/month, congstar), appreciate any advice on that if someone's willing to help
Wanted features: screen bigger than 5 inch but not massive, camera should take acceptable pictures, preferrably robust
Budget: 150-250€, don't want to pay too much in case I break the phone at work
Size: 5 inches or bigger, I have small hands though

Any advice is appreciated!

Is any(phone) running Android considered a smartphone?

>tfw want to update my chinkphone to nougat but that would mean losing xposed
i feel trapped

>>61097098
It failed the bend test

>>61102190
if you can stretch the budget a bit more, then you should wait and buy the moto gs+ later this year.

I have the choice of choosing only between an iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Samsung Galaxy S8+ Which one should I choose and why? Please help.

What do you use your phone for?

Are there any android flip-phones in the west?

>>61095053
yeah that's true, but I managed to find a third party seller that offers a one year warranty and it has a bunch of great reviews on the site. Still worried though that I'm having a box of air arriving at my doorstep.

Pretty much, it's the software that makes the phone a smartphone
