My launch Nexus 5 still gets 3 hours of SOT without any special measures taken, "hax", or custom ROMs. It's mostly on Wi-Fi though, but still, it's been my daily driver for almost four years now.

That's pretty shit

i've been using Xiaomi Redmi 4A 2/32 for the past week. pretty cool, handles pixel dungeon like a champ, battery's great and everything's smooth, at least for my usage.
any questions?

>>61103378
Redmi 4 Prime is only lsightly more expensive but is much better. why didn't you get it instead.

>>61103378
How's MIUI?

>>61103393
>$165 is only slightly more expensive than $90

Anyone have any experience with Japanese phones? I'm looking at the Kyocera KYF31 Gratina 4G as a replacement for my old S500i
They say it runs Android, but it seems navigation on it isn't as straightforward as a touchscreen.

Can an Android phone have comparable battery life to a feature phone?

I have a xiaomi mi4 which is dying, random reboots all of the time. Thought it was battery but the vendor tells me it might be the motherboard.
I can let it get repaired for 35 or 160 depending on which of the two is broken.

Or I can buy a new phone but I dont really want to.

Anyways, recommend me some <200 euro phones with a good build quality, 5" and decent battery/storage ect. Dont care too much about the soc because gaming on a phone is a meme.

you'll know once your mummy stops buying you phones

Hey I was wanting to get a phone to replace my oneplus one which is refusing to charge and replacing the battery hasn't fixed it.

I have been looking for a phone <£200/$250 and I was looking at the Xiaomi Redmi note 4x.

Is the only difference between the note 4x and the 4x screen size? I have gotten used to the larger screen of the oneplus one.
Am I correct in saying there are 2 different versions one for china and one for the rest of the world which has all of the network bands?
Where would be the best place to buy in the UK? I know gearbest sells it but I was concerned about import charges.

>>61103590
Don't buy those chinkshit trash.

For £200 you can buy a Moto G5+ or Lenovo P2 from 3 or carphone warehouse, both are massively better than this overshilled Xiaomeme crap.

>>61103395
coming from shitty lg l65 on kitkat i'd say miui is better in every way (obviously).
- it uses 1gb of ram, so i have a full 1gb free for apps which is enough for me since all i do is watch porn and play pixel dungeon.
- there's already a new update that i haven't installed yet, might do it today after a backup
- shitloads of options and customization, though most of the downloadable themes are garbage and it makes ricing kind of hard. currently using iOS AfterDark theme which looks good, but taskbar icons are pretty shit and i can't seem to modify them without rooting or changing theme
- maybe it's because of my theme but pattern lock screen looks like shit
- it came with preinstalled Swiftkey (which i uninstalled) and an app for "cleaning" like SD Maid + here are options for limiting battery usage and DISABLING AUTOSTART of applications which is a huge plus for me

can't think of anything more. basically expect some theme "issues" (for a ricefag) everything's good.
as for the phone itself my only gripe is with shitty volume/power buttons.

pic related, work in progress (no klwp/kwgt yet), ignore the icons, i'm having some trouble with them (for some reason custom icons for apps become noticeably smaller)

>>61103590
Redmi 4X has a SD435 SoC, Redmi Note 4X has a SD625. The version you want in the UK is the Redmi Note 4 Global which is basically a Note 4X but with more network bands (including band 20 used in UK). You can get it from Honorbuy European warehouse or Ibuygou with customs insurance to avoid custom duties/VAT

>>61103590

What is the cheapest Android phone that would be compatible with android wear?

I'm in Australia, prefer unlocked, and my budget would be $100-200 max.

I only use my phone for calls, text, music/podcasts and occasional googling/wifi hotspotting.

However, I like and use my smartwatch (huawei) too much to sacrifice it.

I have little to offer in return for help, I mainly post on /lit/ and would answer any literary questions you have though.

I don't know, what's the point, I use this phone to do the exact same shit I did with my Moto G2, being able to play Mobile Legends at a decent frame rate, 4G network and a battery that truly lasts all day is nice I guess

oh yeah, AMOLED fucking blows, I'm kind of scared, my eyes see IPS screens as shit now, every phone I'll bought on the future will have to feature an AMOLED screen because of that

Best custom rom for Redmi Note 4(mido)?

Otherwise, is there a good way to unchink MIUI so that it respects any level of my freedoms? I don't actually mind MIUI and I don't see why I couldn't just use Nova as a launcher and be done with it - but I'm concerned about chink spyware...

>>61104905

Xiaomi.eu is a debloated and de-chinkified MIUI ROM, I guess you could also root and use some firewall app to block the chink apps

Is there any real reason to upgrade from a s7 to the s8? My contract is finished and they're offering me a s8 64gb for £55 unlimited everything etc, but my s7 is still in mint condition and I can continue my contract with o2 SIM only with similar call and data limits for £15 a month.

Can anyone help me here? I came back to Lineage after realizing how awful AOSP is, the thing is, I remember that Lineage offers a setting that disables power menu on lockscreen (if turned on you won't get the turn off/restart prompt when you press and hold the power button in the lockscreen), I can't seem to find it now though, tried searching through the setting but still no luck.

The current rumor is that we'll see a refresh of the iPhone 7 and 7+ (7S and 7S+ probably) that'll be around the same price as the current ones, and a more premium iPhone 8 which will be more expensive than the other two.

>>61105303
No, the only thing the S8 has over the S7 is stupid gimmicks like small bezels and bixby button.

How long is the contract?
40*24= 960 (i.e. more than the price of s8)
Buying phones on contracts is either for poorfags who don't even have a few hundred bucks or idiots who can't count.
Unless it's only one year contract then the price is identical to s8 (just buy a used oldest cheapest smartphone out there in good condition and turn in for the 200 off meme)

>>61105808
Short answer, yes.

tl;dr answer: the phone before my samsung didn't have one by default so I downloaded ES manager only to have it change something that made using it a hassle.
Samsung S4 had a clean and easy manager to use off the bat. I didn't have to download and test other managers to see if I liek it it, if it's fast, if it crashes etc...

For when this is going to get deleted

I picked up the new Moto E4, was using the E2 before. I live in Canada, and it was the same price I paid for the E2 a few years ago.
It's nice. The screen is 720p, but its clear, bright, smudgeproof. You can get rid of the 3 virtual buttons and use the finger print sensor as a 5-in-one touch button. I only get to use 8GB of tye 16GB, but its got Nougat, which runs great on this phone.
There's probably better options depending on where you live (G5, etc), but in the US its $70 with Verizon and I thought it was a steal for $200 here in the Great White North. Check it out if you're on the hunt for a budget phone.

USA, no carrier specfic. Unlocked and phablet-sized would be appreciated. Basic tasks to be done - at most gaming. What's the best I could get for less than $100?

Does the camera on 3T still wor the same if I installed lineageos?

>>61106192
>$200
Canuck bucks?

>>61106360
Yeah. I've been looking for unlocked phones for a while now, and once I found out Freedom had the E4 it was everything I wanted and I didn't have to deal with Amazon/eBay.
>$200
>2GB RAM
>More than 8GB storage

I mostly play DS and GBA emulators, browse, and read comics/manga on it. But there's definitely better priced options, the E4 hit all my criteria and I was able to just go buy it when I finished researching it.

>>61106466
I bought it last night, gets here in two days. Kind of having buyers remorse, especially since I didn't use the 20$ off to get a free case.

>>61106464
Just google their geekbench and antutu scores ffs.

>>61106725
Where are you getting the $20 off from?

>>61106757
Referral codes from other people, they were posting them on the subreddit, but it looks like the thread is gone. I can give you my code if you want. It only works when you checkout with the phone though, hence my remorse. I thought it was 20% off so I didn't care but for 20 dollars off you could get a silicone case or maybe headphones for free at least. It doesn't work on bundles.

>>61105776
Eh, mines holding up fine. I keep it in a case and with a screen protector tho. My only complaint(after putting AICP on it) is i wish the headphone port was on the top, and that it had 2 capacitive buttons around the home button. The TouchUI button thing works, but its less intuitive than how samsung or other android phones do it. I know you can turn the screen buttons on, but i'd rather have those extra 50 lines of pixels for the app i'm using.

>>61103325
thanks anon, I bought it

>>61106858
I'm stuck being an indecisive faggot now that the moment of truth is upon me.

I guess I don't really care that much about waterproofing, never had it before and it's never been a problem. The specs look good and everything, and the camera looks fine enough. $500 is about the top that I'd want to spend anyways.

If you could pop me that code that would help. Thanks

I want the OP5, but from what I hear the camera isn't that great. It doesn't even have OIS, and one thing I hate about my OP1 is having to take 10 photos, pick the least blurry out of them, and delete all the rest.

It's also gotten too expensive, considering I can buy an unlocked G6 for only $10 more than the higher-end OP5 and the G6 has so many more features.

Depending on how much data and what network you're on, Carphone Warehouse have (relatively) ok deals on S8, assuming you're willing to foot an upfront cost and potentially willing to switch network

Can currently get 16GB of data with Vodafone for £150 up front and £34/m, works out at £966 over the course of the 2 years.

Sim free it's £689, so that's paying £11.54/m for the actual contract

I guess I'd say a primary concern is battery life while still having good speed. I don't upgrade very often so I'd like to get something fast that will last me 3 years or so.

>>61108338
Camera on the S8 is better than both, and so is the battery, so:
S8>OP5>G6.

Contracts generally have shit prices, it's 6USD a month for a prepaid 6GB, unlimited calls and unlimited SMS. You can buy additional 10GB for a few USD if you really need it (I don't despite using a fuckton of jewtube and 4chins).
>£689 for s8
Really nice markup, telecom companies must be swimming in cash.

The most frugal way is usually to buy the phone separately and forget about contracts (especially since mobile plans are getting cheaper/better all the time, not worth it being bound to a shitty plan for a whole 2 years).

>>61108505
>telecom companies
I dun goofed up.

>>61108468
S8 has 3000mAh battery and OP5 has 3300mAh + battery life will be better on the OP because of the smaller resolution

I can't think of anywhere in the UK that would have a deal as cheap as that.

Cheapest for 6GB will be in the ballpark of £15-£20 from Vodafone/EE/O2

Jesus christ anon just let it fucking die
No there is nothing for bb os 7.

if you wanna stick with blackberry here are my recommendations cheap to expensive
Q5(+very cheap -lack pointing device)
Q10(+removable battery +nice screen -no pointing device)
Classic(+pointing device -nonremovable battery)
Passport(+really nice screen -nonremovable battery -3 row keyboard)
Keyone(+very good battery life +new +/-android -nonremovable battery -expensive)
If you've stuck with a bold for so long I'm guessing you don't use much apps so I'd suggest you get a classic. The cpu is sort of outdated for somethings but it's much better than whatever you've got in your 9900. I personally use a passport and while blackberry still gives you good options for to trigger the lack of punctuation, it's not as good as having dedicated buttons for it
Plus the passport is too wide

Are phone apps optimized for single or multi core? Should I look more single or multi core results in benchmarks?

is there a way to prevent html5 video from working phone-wide? like some kind of content filtering proxy or something that just kills incoming video? it's mainly video i want to stop

>>61105905
I used to have a M9 which I really enjoyed even though people love to hate the 810
I was thinking of saving up for a 10 but then I noticed how much I missed using a physical keyboard and bought a passport instead

Also Bluetooth gamepads are pretty autistic desu. Especially the """""""""""""""compact """"""""""""""" ones that are worse using a touchscreen
I'd suggest getting one of those smartphone mounts for your controller. They look really autistic but they're the most comfy thing ever.

I'm looking to upgrade from a Nexus 5, ideally the same size and a 1080p screen. I don't like rounded screens either. Any suggestions /g/? I was considering the new Blackberry KEYone.

>>61109424
Why?

>>61109382
frankly, the only reason I stuck with it for so long is the keyboard
I would really like something newer but touch screen typing never worked for me

I need the cheapest good phone with GPS and LTE for my father. Don't care about chip (he only uses GPS and texts/calls), don't care about size or resolution, don't care about useless features (type-C, quick charge, fingerprint).
Only care about build quality (he used last phone for 6 years), call quality and GPS.

Nokia 3, 5 or 6

>>61110239
Hayai launcher?

>>61110310
Well new Nokia phones is the answer for you. They focus on build quality and longevity of phones.

>>61110358
So I really have to pay such a high premium for build quality? Redmeme note 4 costs half of Nokia 6 and has all around better or identical features (but will probably die in a year or two).
Fuck.
Maybe when 3 and 5 finally release. 6 is just stupid.

>>61110445
6 is not cheap, has 5.5 1080 screen that I don't need.
When will 3 and 5 be out?

>>61110466
Depends on where you live

>>61110485
Not even out on kimovil and they have all chink sites.
Where is it released then?

What's a good minimalistic UI ? I want something that looks like a riced Linux desktop.

>>61110453
High build quality = costs more to make

>>61110453
Well for example it takes 55minutes alone to make the metal body of Nokia 6. Price starts to add up when you use better parts for your phone. Redmeme is budget phone which uses cheaper parts to bring the price down. Phone is much more than just the soc and screen.

How much will Nokia 9 cost?

>>61110520
Two times more for a phone that is identical or worse in every aspect? They're going overboard with the markup.

>>61110508
Well you can preorder already all Nokia's in Finland and Europe in general.

>>61110548
Well Nokia have better screen, gorilla glass, better camera etc. Meanwhile redmeme focused on better soc.

>>61110588
>better screen
You have anything to back it up?
>better camera
Too bad it's not important in this case.

>>61110548
Don't compare the price to chinkphones, compare it to its real competition ie. budget phones by Samsung, Motorola, Huawei etc. You have to remember the price includes taxes, having to provide a proper warranty, repair service and so on.

>>61110588
Dunno about camera. The old ones with Carl Zeiss lenses were great, now probably mid/low quality

>>61110548
It's not 2x. redmemem 64gb/4gb model costs 160€ and Nokia 6 in USA without VAT is 201€.

You can see here yourself. Nokia have pure android and not bloatware etc. better speeds, better audio by dolby. Better build quality: look teardown here:

I'm seeing $179.99 for the Amazon Prime version of Nokia 6

Is the iPhone SE a decent buy? I can get the 64gb version for £350. I'm wondering how long it might be supported for too.

I'm going to go into a shop and see what its like in the hand though, it does look like it might be a tad too small for my hands. A phone in the middle of the SE and 6s or around 4.5 inches would have been great and handlets would probably still be happy

>>61111068
Nokia will have pure android though without bloatware like Samsung phones are full of which you will never even use.

What phones have the best battery life? My work-provoded iPhone 6 plus can't even last half a work day and all I do is make calls.

I like to play games casually but sometimes I play for an hour or more at a time and drain too much battery

I know I'm already half a cup for using a smartphone but I try to maintain standards.

>>61111379
Well when you are using already android it doesn't matter if you use or not use anymore google products.

So it looks to me like Redmi Note 4 is undisputed king of sub 150USD (offering everything you could need apart from good camera), while Nokia 6 for 50% more $$$ offers also a good camera (though only ~65% of battery life (which is still very respectable) and slightly worse SoC).

Basically if you are poor/don't care about camera go with Xiaomi, if you want camera and can afford it go with Nokia, if you are retarded or really need the gimmicks for some reason (and can suffer a lot worse battery life) go with a flagship.

What a time to be alive for a poorfag.

I upgraded from an xperia z1 compact to an xperia x compact and my favorite gallery app QuickPic is giving me issues. whenever I exit out of a video the screen goes black for a second or two, which is nicely annoying when browsing. what could cause this? same SD card, app itself has the same settings

>>61111402
Or if you're in the US just buy the Amazon version of the Nokia 6 for $179.99 and remove the lockscreen ads in ADB

>>61111379
it's either the botnet or shitty FOSS apps

>>61111402
Nokia battery is only 25% smaller and it's have pure android so battery life will be only under 25% worse.

Happening

>>61111433
>Nokia 6 for $179.99
Nice, for only 20 USD more than Xiaomi it would be the undisputed king (unless somebody doesn't care about camera and needs even better battery, though Nokia's ~9 hours of wi-fi is already very good). Sadly Nokia's not available so cheaply in Europe.

>>61111504
Well with VAT Redmeme and Nokia 6 is same price.

>>61111495
>HMD Global loads its Nokia phones with a nearly clean version of Android 7 Nougat. Aside from a custom camera app and a couple of tweaked icons, it has none of the add-ons that often take up space and drag down performance on other third-party Android devices. That means the phone should get more out of its hardware.
Nice, I don't get why everyone else load their androids full of shit.

>HMD Global is promising faster software updates than most third-party Android devices as a result and says it'll stay on top of Google's monthly security patches as well. Time will tell if that holds true.
This is also going to be good if they deliver the promise.

>>61111536
Aye (Moto G5)

>>61111495
Look up endurance rating at GSMarena for both phones. (10 vs 15.5 h of video playback, 9.5 vs 18 of web browsing (wi-fi), 22.5 vs 34.5 of 3G talk time).
Though for 90% of people Nokia's battery will be enough.

Though I was mistaken and it's 770 PLN (~205 USD) vs 1150 PLN (~307USD). Both offer 24 months of warranty.
So it comes down to whether you want a camera and can pay 50% more for it.

>>61111702
Are you talking about the OPO or Nexus 5? If OPO then you have something wrong with your software, or the battery has gone completely to shit.

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!

>>61111982
Looks like it's a telecom company, they sometimes sell phones cheaper, but make money back by gouging you on your mobile plan.
Just buy it separately and get a good prepaid, most of the time it's actually cheaper that way.

>>61112038
see >>61111402

>>61112056
>>61112038
Also check if it still holds up in Germany, but that's how the price points look just across the border so chances are it will be similar.
But if you can get some ridiculously cheap Nokia 6 like supposedly USA Amazon can get it for 180 USD, then it changes things.

Just remember Nokia will start shipping on 7.07

>>61112043
What? Here tele companies sell phones without plans also. In Finland phone plans are cheap also.

I'm paying 20€/month for unlimited 4g lte with unlimited text messages and phone calls. Also 15gb/month data anywhere in Europe.

>>61112038
Ask again in September, most likely something better than what's available now will be available

I'm paying 1 USD for 500MB (paid 2USD for 3GB) before but it was too much and now I have 30GB piled up. I also pay ~1USD for the few calls and texts I make.
My sister pays 6 USD for unlimited calls, texts and 6 GB of Internet.
How much data do you actually use?

Are there any decent phones for under 200 AUD?

>>61109669
I wanted the very best. S8, G6, and OP5 were such letdowns that I decided that there was nothing worth my money. Nokia 9 is my dreamphone, but it's so far away in the future that I've decided to settle for the Nokia 6: what I'm looking for is a smartphone with great durability and build quality, good SoT, decent screen, decent camera, and a lot of fluidity.
Ideally I wanted to be able to play Fallout 1 though DosBox, and a bezel-less with top of the line SoC smartphone should be able to do it well, but ultimately I don't really care.

I don't trust chinkphones, because they don't live under the same EU rules, and supposedly Nokia 6 is coming out in Italy soon. Before being able to buy it, I wanted to make some research tho.

Hi guys, first time here.

Looking for a new phone, currently in the US, I have a t-mobile pay-per-minute Sim card which I want to keep.

Currently I have an S5 but want to get something faster, since anything that involves more than text websites takes a long ass time to load (not due to shitty connection, it is the phone)

Any good recommendations? I have seen the blu vivo6, which sounds interesting, but seems to not be for sale in the US?

Budget is ideally <300$, if it is worth it I am willing to go above, but there has to be good reason.
Another extra would be having IP67 protection and an SD card slot which is both the case for the S5, but not the S6 for example :(

Beware that it's 150 USD from chinkland and will cost more in your country. Still quite a bit cheaper than Nokia, unless you live in USA, then Amazon version with ads (which you can remove) is only 180USD. You got to have Amazon Prime though.

>>61112519
Nokia, but it has no IP.

>>61112466
Seems there's LineageOS for that version too

Why is the U11 considered not a good phone again?

>>61108100
When does Sony announces their new phone lineup? I want to buy the x compact but I am willing to wait if I can more about that xz1 compact.

>>61112519
Moto G5 Plus, hasn't got a IP rating but it is splash resistant

>>61112629
The rumors say the announcement is at IFA 2017, so beginning of September

Did that one guy receive his S8+ yet? Love this phones battery.

Hopefully the new pixel comes out soon so I can upgrade.

>>61112658
Oh. Then the new compact probably won't release until the holiday season. I am not sure if I want to wait that long.

>>61112608

aside from no 3.5mm jack and not-that-great durability it's perfect, but it's not chinkshit or samshit so nobody likes it.

>>61112056
How bad is the camera? Can't be worse than Motorola Moto G?

>>61112124
Sounds good, seems like a lot of people are waiting for that phone?

>>61112207
I thought I could test the waters a bit and I was under the assumption I'd have to go with an older model in that price range.
I will ask again later then.

Thanks for your input, everyone.

Seems manufacterers stopped adding IP protection a while ago, no new phones except the shitty outoor ones seem to have it.

What do you guys say about the LG G5 in the OP? Seems to be a pretty good deal and by as little as I somewhat understand about phone processors it seems to be much faster than the two you recommended?

I know it does not fulfill my extra criteria, but those would be nice-to-haves anyways and I would rather not have them if i can get something considerably better in speed for the same price.

>>61112810
There's plenty of phones available with IP protection

>>61112659
Yeah I received my S8+. The screen is fucking huge, loving this thing.

So I got the Galaxy s8+ and I'm noticing some lag. Should've kept the Pixel xl

>>61112921
You got meme'd.

>>61112843
They are way over my budget though. Thanks for showing me how to search on that website! Its a yuuge help

>>61112998
Yeah the screen is way too huge as well. The urethane screen protector fucks with the touch too.

>>61113010
Sony XZ and Galaxy S7 sometimes go for $350-400, have a look on eBay. LG G5 is fine too (though it seems it's not $260 anymore)

>>61112921
>>61112849
Are these two different anons, or did he go from loving it to regretting it in 5 minutes time?

>>61113079
Same guy.

>>61113065
lol, ye, just checked the newegg website, now it is at $309...

My nexus 4(2012) is dying slowly and I'm looking for something at least as good as it for under $200
I'm In the US on AT&T.
Would like a clean OS without bloatware, above 16gb storage (microSD preferably), and more or less around the same size as the nexus 4.

I've been out of the loop since I bought my current phone, and advice?

it's mediatek though

Fuck this 18:9 no bezel meme. Hard to reach top and bottom of the phone

>>61113168
Moto E4

>>61113168
lg g3

I am interested in upgrading my LG G4 within a few weeks but not sure what to get.
I am from the US and have AT&T.
As for what I use it for it is mostly web surfing and Pokemon. Battery life is important since my current battery lasts maybe 2 hours if I am using it heavily.

As for the camera, I am no expert in taking pictures and am looking for something that I can quickly open, snap a picture, and be happy with the outcome, instead of changing settings to make the picture look nice.

A jack for headphones would be nice but it seems this is rare nowadays as well as a removable battery so I can swap batteries instead of carrying around a portable battery. Unfortunately it seems that a portable battery is what I am going to end up getting.

Any recommendations?

>>61112519
Alcatel Idol 5S
Nokia 6
ZTE Blade V8 Pro
Honor 8/6X

No IP67 tho

>>61113422
Forgot to ask if there are any upcoming phones I should wait for or if I should just buy one now.

>>61112689
Is Nokia 5 worse in any way than Nokia 6 or is it just smaller?

Was thinking about getting either a S8 or a P10, is there a reason why I shouldn't get a P10?

>>61113422
LG G5 and LG V20 both have removable batteries

>>61113010
https://www.kimovil.com/en/ is also very useful for that.

>>61113451

>>61113168
Nokia 6 Amazon edition will be $179.99

>>61113481
Less RAM is bad, smaller resolution is normal for a smaller phone.
Sucks it has a different camera tho. It as 6's main selling point.
Nokia 6 compact when?

I need a new phone since my lumia 640 has finally lost support for simple apps such as facebook messenger.

I've been looking at the oneplus brand, the 3T and 5 look neat. From what I've been reading the 5 apparently doesn't seem like it's worth the upgrade, should I pick up the 3T and save a little money or do you guys think its worth spending a little more?

128gb 3T is £440, 128gb 5 is £500. They both look like superb phones that will last years but I'm not sure what oneplus are like supporting their older phones since I don't know too much about them

Looking into them, thanks for the suggestions!

New thread needed STAT!

Guys help me pick out a phone:

>stock or near stock android
>usb-c
>IP rating
>durable

I will not play games aside from pokemon so help me out

Is there a phone that fits this aside from s8

>>61113952
Learn to use the GSM phone finder:
http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2016&chkUSBC=selected&sIPCerts=5,6

HTC and Sony both have Android skins that is quite near to stock, LG's skin isn't as bloated as Touchwiz either

>>61113952
What's funny after perusing kimovil.com there's no rugged, IP, usb-c phone.
Not sure what you mean by durable, but still pretty sure s8 is very easy to break. No bezels and glass back mean people break them all the time..

>get a 820 phone after living with a 400 phone for 3 years
>shit gets hot as fuck and get my hands all sweaty, so sweaty that the phone literally fell off my hand one time

cpuz says it's just 37°C, apparently a normal temp, but this didn't happened with my last phone, is this just how high end processors work nowadays ?

I'm thinking of selling it and buying a Moto Z Play, a friend has a Xiaomi phone with Snap 625 and the difference in temperature is enormous

>>61114006
Which one of them is durable though.

>>61114006
*gsmarena

>>61114008
kimovil.com is mainly for chinkphones, otherwise gsmarena is usually better

>>61114033
Nah, kimovil has all the western phones too.
You just didn't use 'rugged' in your search.

>>61114048
Though I admit it's worse for 'and' cases, you have to check it one by one for every IP certificate.

>>61114030
They're all glass front and backs, if you want durability get a case

>>61114087
Apart from the ones that are not glass back (like Nokia 6).

>>61114098
>>61114087
Unless you meant from that list, then Xperia XZ is metal.
Are you a shill for Shitsung?

>>61114098
>>61114137
I'm talking about the 2017 flagships, HTC U11, LG G6, Sony XZP and Galaxy S8.

>>61114180
He should just get XZ if he needs durable, recommending glass phone for somebody who wants durable is beyond retarded.

>glass phones
Why though? Is it another stupid fad nobody wants but manufacturers push for some reason?

>>61114265

more or less. still, they can look nice depending on the phone (eg the u11 is brety gud) and for most people it doesn't pose a problem. also with mediocre durability they get to sell more protection plans to the goyim.

>>61114006
>>61114008

Yo I have looked at this site for the past 2 weeks to pick out a phone and never noticed the phone finder.

Wow thank you guys.

So should I wait it out and see what comes out or just pick one out.

>>61114548
You can make preliminary pick now and see how prices change by the time you are ready to buy.

I've had some instances with my phones where I had to remove the battery to get it to function right again. Usually something draining the shit out of the battery, like a rogue process or being around a ton of phones in close proximity (conventions) for a few days. How do people deal with shit like that happening on phones you cant remove the battery from?

just got an XZP
never had a water resistant phone before
i'm too scared to get even a single drop of water on it
the usbc port and headphone jack are open, can i really take this in the shower?

>>61114572
You can force a restart by holding down the power button (or volume down button and power button) for certain amount of time. Accomplishes the same thing as removing the battery.

>>61114585
Do you have to use it in the shower?
My friend ruined his phones by using it a lot in the shower (and it did have certification).
It's best treated as an insurance in case you drop it in the sink.

>>61114677
That doesn't always work on mine. Especially not the convention times. Like my phone gets hot as shit on standby after a day or two and unless I remove the battery for a little bit it just keeps up.

>>61114692
What does removing the battery accomplish that restarting / turning the phone off doesn't? Also why would the phone heat up from other phones being around it?

>>61114726
I don't know, I just know it's happened. Turning it off for a few hours didn't do shit, but pulling the battery out for 10 minutes did. Until it came back the next day and i had to do it again but still.

>>61114769
Sounds like you need a new battery.
