Essential phone. A phone that may or may not ever come out.

>>61553482
No that was the previous iPhone leak. Essential only has the selfie camera jutting into the display.

Anyone here have the honor 8? Leaning towards getting one

>currently have oneplus x running purenexus
which phone should I upgrade to? I microSD card support or some kind of external storage. I'm interested in the custom run and kernel community so if the phone has wide support on XDA that's a bonus, but not needed. Camera is important to me, even though I know I should just by an actual camera, phone cameras are too convenient to me.

What's the word on the Oneplus 5? I'm looking for a new phone that's fast and has a good camera.

Redmi 5 when?

>>61553589
The camera was a disappointment after all the hyping Oneplus did. It's ok but nothing special.

So I got my gf a Moron G4S play about a year ago. It suddenly started discharging quite quickly, one night it went from 80+ to 40 without use at all. Of course I told her to turn off WiFi before sleep because she gets notifications from pinterest and shit. However the screen battery usage suddenly started being quite high, and it's not the always on moto display either. It used to be below 19% most of time rarely going above that but it's 20+% now. Any idea what's causing it?

How much of a performance difference is there between Adreno 405 and 506?

I am thinking about buying redmi note 4X with SD625 since it seems to have a good battery life and cheap.

>>61553523

>>61554161

So is there a proper screen protector for OP5? The original one sits well and doesn't have rainbow but why the fuck aren't the edges transparent? Why is there any color to begin with? This is the first protector I see that isn't fully transparent. What's the point of the black coloring?

I just bought an S8 because, I dunno, got corporately memed on and I liked my S5.

However, this curved screen is a bit of a bitch to protect. I've always been very strong on Otterbox cases, but now I need to couple an otterbox with a glass adhesive screen protector that, within a month of ownership, already routinely pops off and is cracked.

What do for this.

I'm on a S6 edge and want to give Apple a try (7 Plus). Still a bit undecided whether I should go for 32 or 128 GB. I'm not into mobile games, I don't need a lot of apps (~12 or so), no streaming, no videos/movies. Music is only used for ringtones or notifications. Photos will be uploaded to clouds or PC once in a while. 32 GB worked fine for me so far.
The update to iOS 11 will take up a lot of space I guess, so what would you do?

For months I couldn't get my phone to reliably receive WhatsApp notifications. For whatever reason, WhatsApp service just kept silently dying. (no, of course it's not battery optimized)
Now, I've finally concocted a solution that is as elegant as Android itself.

I set a Tasker profile to trigger an action at every 2 minutes. That action runs the following command (as root):

am startservice com.whatsapp/.messaging.MessageService

did i beat android? do i get a prize?

anyone know anything about SIM cards?

I need a Verizon SIM card, don't need to activate it or anything. I read you can just walk into a Verizon store and ask for one and they'll give you one for free. I'm autistic and retarded, what exactly do I need to say to the sales clerk? Please help. I also currently have a Verizon phone and data plan if that helps.

Alternatively I can just buy one for $5 off of Amazon to avoid the social interaction.

I've got this tablet and wanted to use the GPS on it but it needs a SIM card in it for the GPS to function. But yeah I don't need to activate it.

Need some advice. Thinking about getting the Zuk z2 Pro or the Redmi Note 4x.

Z2 Pro
-$270
-Snapdragon 820, 6BG RAM, 128GB storage
-USB 3.1 Type C
-3100 mAh
-Works on all Cricket 3g bands and 2/4 LTE bands

Note 4x
-$150
-Snapdragon 625, 3GB Ram, 32GB storage
-4100 mAh
-Doesn't work on HSPA+ and only one LTE band

My main concern is the network connectivity. I also play a decent amount of games so the better spec of the Z2 Pro would be nice, but so would the longer battery life.

Or is there another option that would be better?

>>61563897

go to their website and start the activation process for your phone. then there'll be an option for 'i have no sim card' and they'll send you one for free with 2-day shipping (though it might arrive next day, I know mine did).

Hey /spg/ /k/ommando here, any software recommendations for recovering picture/contact data from a Galaxy S5 with a damaged display (screen is blacked out with some small cracks visible).

Is recovering it at home an option or is that something the mobile retailer can do, preferably cheaply.

>>61564290
That's my thoughts as well, I've just heard that the S8 was starting to lag because of Samsungs shitty OS.

Plus that blue one had that real neat diamond cut finish which was fantastic to hold

>>61564549
guess what i can do is test my iems on the p10 plus and if it is really that bad, ill get the s8 right away. thats what i worry too. seeing my cousins note 3 laggy as hell, but he is just an average user who never do any tweaking to his phone

It's all depends on what's on the screen but it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. I'm quite happy with my OP5, performance is great and OxygenOS has some neat stuff so I'll be sticking to stock rom for a longer while for sure.

Hey, I'd be willing to give it a try if the device is cheap enough and supported by Verizon. But that last part is a big-ass "if", or so I've read.

Except for the risk of a defect, what is the major pitfall when buying a smartphone on Ali?

I see no reason to overpay 100 EUR in a shop. They say it may have problems with network and a bunch of stupid chick software, so you need to flash. But what if I just buy a global version?

That's as close as I know to what you're describing. Hopefully that was of some help

how's the zuk z2 pro on custom ROMS? the camera is just about the most important feature for me, especially video recording. or is the stock rom decent enough for casual use otherwise?

Is there any good non buggy custom rom for redmi note 4? I dont find the vanilla miu too annoying, but am I missing out on some good cyanogen based roms out there for example?

Some recommendations on replacing my Lenovo P70 (quite tough/nice battery, but its Vibe UI freezes constantly so no more Lenovo for me).
I use it for messengers/maps/work calls mostly, and optionally it should be a little sturdier and survive a fall and some moisture.

So far the Honor 8 and Nexus 5x seem like the way to go spec-wise, although I probably won't use their hardware at all properly.

Unlimited budget but I don't want to buy something I won't use at all

>>61571255
>Honor 8
Good phone.
>Nexus 5X
Garbage.

>>61571255
5x has dick awful battery life
Also bootloops

Personally I'd never go with an Honor device because of the chipset (can't install lineage OS) but I've heard nice things about them if you can live with their Android skin

>>61571255
OK I thought the RedMi Note 4 is not available in my country but it actually is at around $240.
What is this beast and how is its price so low with 10 cores and 64 GB memory?

>>61571314
>240$
Jesus why is it so expensive?
I can get it for 140 €

>>61571324
Eastern Yurop style, every electronic device here is 20-30% more expensive (this one is a korean phone that has gone through a tax loophole, otherwise it would have been at least $300)

>>61571356
I also live in eastern euro.
Where do you buy from?
Do you write to them that you want them to fake the pricing so that it just passes through checks?

I'd also like a smartphone reccomendation

Currently rocking a nexus 5 and the battery life is soooooooooooooooooooooooo baaaaad

Performance is also pretty shit at this point as well, might flash it but ill just buy a new phone because nothings going to fix the battery life

My mom is heading off to china so I could probably get a oneplus 5 there (3000yuan)
so i guess 3000yuan absolute limit because i wouldnt spent this much normally (unless it was basically really close to a flagship)

I don't really have many preferences but i think the op5 looks quite nice, just looking for a decent screen size (5.2~5.5~ is fine) good performance and good battery life (mainly this)

actually after typing this out, i think a better question is, are there any better alternatives to the oneplus 5 at a lower pricepoint

Currently live in New Zealand so... if you know the phone prices here that might mean something otherwise you could ignore this

>>61571314

Thanks! There's the Snapdragon 625 version at a similar price, good catch.
Any other Xiaomi devices in this range I should consider - there's also the Mi5 with quad-core SnapDragon 820 at around $330?

>>61571486
Skip the Mi5, it's not ass efficient as the Redmi note 4. If you want more of your phone go with Mi6.

>>61571393
>>61571403
damn, i had the xiaomi lineup in my head before the 5 came out but hmmmm now im pretty much at a deadlock now

revisiting the mi6 looks pretty nice

dunno if the extra 0.3" is worth it orrrr the weight/thickness

how does that battery fare?

None but I can imagine the chink version will have.
But this shouldn't be a problem. I mean as soon you get it, you can easily flash over something else.

>>61570944
Is there any big difference between the Note 4 and 4X? I'm thinking of going from my Nexus 5 to it.

Anyone ever had problems with a micro usb getting bored out, so now it turns into if I can wiggle the charger just right then my phone will charge?

I'd like something waterproof and something that lasts and takes pretty pictures.
I don't care all that much for gaming.
Android is a must.

I'd recommend the LG G6, it's a great deal at $449.99:

Is there a reason to take the Redmi Note 4 over the Redmi 4 Prime if they have the same chipset, RAM and battery but the Note is quite chunkier?

>>61572243
Wouldn't be a problem, at least on Android. You have to setup a fingerprint AND a PIN, so you would still be able to unlock.

>>61570053
Something must be wrong with your phone then. Mine never crashes and doesn't use any notable battery.

>>61572328
Price (4 Prime has been discontinued so it keeps getting more and more expensive)
Better custom ROM support
More network bands (Note 4 has the Global version with more LTE bands)

>>61572243
Fingerprint is optional and added to PIN/password.

>>61571390

That's a shit store, Plesio and PCstore are decent sellers with real warranty and they have the Note 4 for the same price if you don't trust the chinks to send you a working phone
