Friendly reminder that when you get a new phone once the novelty feeling wears off its just going to be just like the old one, you will use the same apps and do the same shit.

Your life will feel just as empty after two days as it feels right now.

Enjoy

At least you can shitpost with a bigger display

I'm really liking my Black Berry Priv so far.

The keyboard really helps to make full use of your screen.

And the BB virtual keyboard is not too shabby either. Not as good as swiping but still very comfortable.

Battery is holding up well and the screen is gorgeous.

A word of warning: the wireless charging spot on it is towards the bottom of the phone, so if you have a Samsung wireless fast charger, the Priv will tip over.

Better to get a power mat or one of those wireless charging stands.

This

I'm looking for a phone with front facing speakers under 5". I migrated from a Moto G 2014 to a 1+1 two months ago but I find myself returning back to the G for the form factor and the front facing speakers, but the 400 it has is just so weak. What phone could fulfill these requirements? I was thinking 1+x, but no front facing speakers. Z3C is too small. I live in Canada.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Sony M4 Aqua?

>>51543476
Not worth it

>>51543539
Damn. What else is good at $199-$250 in the US?

I can get a phone through ATT for $250.

Thinking either Priv or V10. I've played with both in my hand and both feel fine the only issue I have is battery and I'm not sure which preforms better.

Thoughts on nexus 6p?

>Not Sure, 250€?

Looking for:
>decent battery life (3h in public transport everyday)

>LTE compatible (is that even a problem anymore?)

Currently running an S2 LTE with cyanogen 12, it serves me well, but battery is shit, and it looses signal easier that a slut looses her thong. And it's getting slow

>>51543412

p.s. You guys can download the BB apps even without the priv.

Try out the launcher and virtual keyboard. They are nice.

>>51543363
I've never heard of that phone before. Gonna have to research it. Thank you!

What is the best mid (max 400 dollarz) tier phone with following specs:
atleast 5" 1080p screen, snapdragon 8XX, Sdcard, the bigger the battery the better

>>51543757
It's a new british company, headed by the former boss of motorola (iirc).
They just released their first two devices (storm and swift) a few months ago. The latter being more or less a competitor to the moto g.
They also run Cyanogen OS.
The reviews that I've read so far were all impressed and when I saw it for only €155 I decided fuck it, let's just try it out.

>>51543778
zenfone2

its CPU is comparable to snapdragon 8XX and you won't notice any lag really

battery is decent but it shines with a custom ROM like CM and it does have an sd card slot

the $300 model has 4GB of RAM as well

>>51543301
I love my OnePlus X, coming from a no-name 2012 LG phone.

V20B is out for G4 now

Anyone got it yet?

>>51543674

I'm the guy with the Priv.

One thing to consider is peripheral/accessories support.

I've come to terms that I will never be able to use a tempered glass screen protector on my Priv because there is not enough demand for it.

I'll probably never get to use cool cases other than the official BB flip case.

As for the battery, after a factory reset and properly configuring my phone it's fine. I can easily get through the day.

And I'm loving the Quick Charge on it. I don't know if the v10 has it.

>>51543801
Huh, I'm struck by curiosity to look them up just to know about them. I just got me a Nexus 6 a few months ago so I'm not planning on getting a new phone but I'm going to track them to see what they come up with. Maybe they'll release something that may convince me to switch over.

Jolla phone worth it or not?
199 yuros

>>51543847
I really don't care about anything else. I don't use cases, screen protectors, or quick charging even. Never had a reason to, coming from an S4 active and ZF2.

Only accessories I want working with it are headphones, and I know the sound quality on LG phones is pretty good. I'm just not sure about the Priv.

I just got a Moto X yesterday (XT1097) and I absolutely loved the phone. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and I think the Moto X is an improvement in every way except for the camera and ROMs. I also really liked the Motorola Earbuds and the audio quality both from the speakers and earbuds are great. It came with KitKat preinstalled and was manufactured in Brazil.

I managed to connect to 2 WiFi Access Points with a "Fair" signal range before upgrading to Marshmallow. After upgrading to Lollipop, only 1 was being found. After Marshmallow, it worked for a few hours and now the Access Point is gone.
Are there any tips for improving the WiFi antenna?

>>51544696
probably the v10 or any of samsung's flagships/note people here meme them but they arent bad phones.

>>51544454
>>51544399

Well fuck me why did I type smaller I meant a phone at 5", no smaller, but 5.5" is too big

I guess I deserved that

>>51544727
I don't know about the antenna, but doesn't the battery suck on this device?

zenphone 2 laser or used oneplus one? both are $200 or so

>>51544836
zf2 is better but has less ROM support

i dont think CM is official on it yet and have no clue if laser has unlocked bootloader

Don't fall for the Zenfone meme. Bloated to Hell unless you void your warranty and install a buggy custom ROM.

>>51543733
Would be perfect if not for the shoddy build quality.

>>51544969
CM12 isn't buggy anymore, it's perfectly usable and makes it worth getting.

Best phone for $350? 5" preferred, 5.5" a bit big.

>>51544126
pls respond

>>51545015
if its all you can afford then yea its fine, as long as its the unlocked version

>>51545015
It looks like a nice phone to me but the high resolution draws back on the battery which doesn't last long

>>51544983
Go up to $400 and get a 5X. Such an extraordinary phone. Vastly underrated.

>>51545247
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3ua0ad/nexus_5x_performance_issues/

>>51545247

I can pick one up for the equivalent of $350 actually - I know it's good, but didn't think 'that' good.

someone was paid to create this thread

I am upgrading form a dumb phone that has lasted me a long time, but I want to upgrade to a smart phone. I live in Norway.

I have done some research and I have found that the LG G4 seems like a good choice. Since it has a replaceable battery, will it be a good choice if I don't plan to upgrade for a few years?

I was also kinda interested in the Nexus 6p, but the non replaceable battery turned me off, and no expandable storage. I was also interested in the Galaxy S5, but since its a bit old already I think it might be due to be replaced quite early.

>>51545270

>compared to the 6p and Moto X Pure

Not the one you're replying to, but I couldn't give a shit about those 2 due to being 5.5".

Any better phone than the 5X at 5"?

>>51545331
Z5 if it wasnt made of fucking glass

>>51545270
wow I thought the 5x was good. I wonder how many anons fell for my blind shilling and bought into the 5x meme.

>>51545344

For the same price (or less) too - Z5 is too expensive.

>>51545375
Z3 or Z5C

Just missed on a very cheap z2

fuck my life

>>51545372

I bought it - although I just use it for browsing, camera and apps - its screen and performance are fine for me.

>>51544943

Don't they have shitty cameras tho, I'd have to get the m8 because the m9 is out of my price range. Also I hate how they're so tall because of the black bar with just the htc logo. But yeah their speakers are indeed insane

>>51545384

Z3C is even slower isn't it?

Looking for a new android phone, upgrading from OPO. Good battery life, root-able, up to 500usd, I'm from Sweden. Maybe bigger screen but its not necessary

>>51545416
Z5C

Z3 is 5" I think and only like $300. Slower yea but a good phone until it cracks from overheating.

Netherlands here.

Looking for cheap smart phone with HDMI out (or other video out option).

Purpose: turn the phone into small workstation with chrooted debian with an external screen + USB or BT keyboard.

>>51545398
According to that leddit thread, it's garbage for even basic tasks.

>>51545426

Z5C still a bit expensive here.

5X is still 5.2", basically a 5" phone with a groove.

It's also retarded because the 5X and Z3C are the same price here.

>>51545470

Haven't had such issues so far.

Then again, I probably wouldn't notice lag - I'm used to shit budget phones, waiting ages to load pages etc.

>>51545407
Moto X Play(cant get in the US) is available in canada, not sure how widely available it is though.

Honestly cant think of anything else that fits your needs.

A couple weeks ago I bought a Lumia 635 for $60. How badly did I fuck up?

There's a sale for z5 that makes it the same price as a z5c, should I go for it?

I prefer the smaller size of z5c tho

>>51545678
Not really no, samsung's current Exynos 7420 destroyed pretty much every other SoC released this year by a fair margin. It runs cooler, faster, and uses less power.

Even with touchwizz being a bit heavier than stock android, the powerful SoC is more than enough to make it smooth with pretty much everything.


S6/Note5 are the current top tier android devices. The only real downside being no mSD card slot (The S6 however can use the Incipio offGRID case. which adds a 3700mAh battery, and an mSD card slot) And the fact they have a sealed back so you can't fast swap the batteries.


My previous 2 phones both didn't have mSD cards or removable battery, so the Note5 was an easy upgrade for me.

That being said the LG V10 is a perfectly good alternative to the Note5/S6 if you want removable battery and mSD card, however it's SoC is less powerful, it is still decently high end.

>>51545738
How do you like your Note 5?

>>51545711
wow my choices were wait a month for 5x or get a v10 for $250 on contract now

guess im going with v10

I'm considering getting a Galaxy S6 soon. Should I get the Edge or stay with the normal version? It just seems weird to me, I don't know if I'd like it. Price isn't an issue.

Also, anyone have recommendations for cases that are <$50?

>>51545610
I just ordered a z2, also have an s3.

>>51545738
Its a great chip but touchwhiz has fucking awful ram management and really fucks the phone in the ass. Not to mention you can't really go the custom ROM route with these Exynos chips and their stupid KNOX shit.

>>51545784
CURVED
GLASS

>>51545784
Buy the s6 from Costco, and don't get the edge. Comes with $250 GC + samsungpromotions.com

Buy a spigen case for under <$10

Or buy cheap tempered glass for $1 and a case for $1 from china, sometimes you can find local deals that low.

If you want a battery case wait till zerolemom drops there price on the 4000mAh case, it was on sale for $20 on newegg flash.

>>51545806
Couldn't you just remove touchwhiz?

>>51543778
Nexus 5x

>>51545851
No it's like their distro of Android. The bootloader is locked and the only progress made so far is that you can boot into an unofficial CM ROM, and that's pretty much it.

>>51545768
Best out of box android experience I have ever had.

I have had it since a couple days before launch (they shipped it out early). And it has been fantastic ever since.

Never had a hard reset, never had any problems at all really.

>>51545806
The RAM management issue really is over blown though, you will almost NEVER run into it being a problem in your actual use of the device. The ONLY times I can make it happen on my note5 are when I am trying to make it happen (like all those youtube videos out there showing the "problem"). If I want to make my phone reload apps, I can by throwing a ton of apps at it, and sure the 6P might be able to have a couple more apps open before refreshing, both phones are at 8+ apps at that point though.

Who do you personally know who is multitasking between 8+ apps at once? seriously, those comparisons are just stupid.


Though I agree it is a bit of a downside that after market ROM support will pretty much never happen, this is fine with me as the stock ROM has been solid as fuck, but i can see why people would stay clear because of this.


>>51545784
The normal version is better, the edge is just a meme screen, it is less comfortable to hold, makes it so text and images get distorted around the edge, and it costs more for something that gets fairly boring after the first 2-3 weeks.

>>51545866
you can debloat though, touchwiz itself is perfectly fine, just debloat the few apps that you dont want, use nova launcher or whatever and themes to change the look and layout.

No need to root or run custom ROMs.

>>51545711
wow I was literally going to buy a 5x

>>51545841
>>51545895

I've had the Nexus 5 since release and I'm looking to get the Nexus 5x now, whats the best deal? Will there be any good deals?

>>51545990
Any issues?

Can the V10 use custom roms or is the only option for bloat removal to freeze apps?

Also, does any custom rom (if they exist) properly handle the dumbass mini screen?

NOTE5 JUST GOT ANDROID 6 UPDATE!!!

>>51546010

The only glaring issue that is an actual big deal is the problem with SD cards.

It has trouble dealing with cards larger than 32GB. I have a 128 GB card and I can't write/move files on it.

It's a well know problem that many have been complaining about.

BlackBerry says that it is aware of it and has developed a fix but has not released it yet.

Outside of that no real problems that matter.

One that blackberry fans complain about is the buggy Hub app, but I have never used that shit before and have zero intention of touching it.

It seems like a completely redundant application in Android.

>>51546142

For short, quick sms style replies the Virtual Key board wins easily.

For long paragraphs/emails the physical keyboard is comfortable. I like it, but some people may not.

But the fact that when you pop out the keyboard you get a full view of the screen is awesome and so comfortable.

And remember that the physical keyboard is also an extra touch input device. You can scroll inside apps by just swiping on the actual physical keyboard itself. It's a nice feature when browsing the web.

>>51546920
S6 active, sucks it's only on AT&T. but it has a 3500mAh battery and Exynos 7420, the most powerful SoC available at the moment for android.


Moto x force has SD810 which means it will be hot, even with good cooling its hard to dissipate that much heat. The moto x force also has a 3760 mAh battery, slightly larger than the S6 active, but when you include the more power hungry SoC in the Moto x force, it is a toss up which would get longer battery life.

also, for pure specs, it isn't the most powerful phone currently out, so I fail to see how it could ever be considered "the best"

Can any 5"+ screened phones be used comfortably with one hand?

>>51547341
Depends if you are a giant or not

>>51547341
Sure, unless you subscribe to the meme that you MUST be able to touch ALL 4 corners with the thumb from 1 hand or it's not truely one handing your phone.


Which is just silly because I one hand my 5.7" note5 all the god damn day just fine. I have slightly larger hands than average, but they aren't HUGE.

I'm looking for a new phone by this summer, but can't decide, though I don't need much.

All I really need it for is social media, multimedia, and I like to travel and take pictures of things. No games. All I really need is something with a good camera (front and back), sd card slot and unlocked for carriers in other countries.

Wanted a V10 but that seems total overkill for what I need. Thinking LG G3 but I'm not sure. Anyone have a situation like that and a recommendation? Coming from a Moto G by the way.

>>51547553
G4 is solid, same camera as V10, slightly worse specs and smaller. I think the battery is just average but it has decent ROM support I think.

>>51547581
I thought I've been reading the V10 has a better camera (especially the front). Has that just been marketing hype? Reviews I've seen seem to say the V10 has a better camera too.

Should I buy a 6p?

>>51547652

I might be retarded, but what is image processing? Google says its to make it look better. Does that mean its just software that edits the picture after it has been taken? Meaning it doesn't matter to me? If they take the same quality pictures pre-edit I can fuck with it on my computer if I need.

Thank you for the responses mate.

>>51547716
>if you try to break your phone, it will break
ohhhhh shit family

>>51547742
Typically not all phones support shooting RAW, which is the image before it gets processed. Some sensors take really shit RAW images but get processed into decent ones. I don't remember if the G4 or V10 support shooting in RAW but if they do than it wouldn't matter which one you got.

>>51547760
No phone should be that easily bendable with two bare hands. That's insanely bad build quality and it doesn't matter if you do intentionally because it just means there's a greater chance of it happening accidentally.

How the fuck can you utterly destroy your phone like in that image by mistake?

Why would ANYONE purchase the Galaxy Note 5 over the LG V10 if they were searching for a phablet?

Why would you put up with Sameshit's unrootable, nightmare-tier ram managing iPhone 2.0s just for a meme pen?

The V10 shits all over the Galassy Note 5

z5c is on a black friday sale, yes or nay /g/

I like everything about the phone, but the memes are concerning

>>51547926
>The V10 shits all over the Galassy Note 5
Except in specs... like most of them actually.

RAM, sure they both have 4GB, but V10 is using LPDDR3 whereas the Note5 uses LPDDR4.

Internal storage, sure both have either 32GB or 64GB, but the V10 uses eMMC memory whereas the note5 uses USF 2.0, which is much faster.

Digitizer, this is an easy one as the V10 doesnt have one.

screen, both are 5.7" 1440p. But the AMOLED display on the note5 is the best display ever tested by Displaymate, and beats all other current LCD panels.

SoC, V10 has the SD808 built on a 20nm process, a 6 core SoC (2x A57 and 4x A53) paired with Adreno 418 graphics. The note5 has Exynos 7420, which is built on a 14nm process, and is an 8 core SoC (4x A57 and 4x A53) with the Mali T760MP8 graphics (the Adreno 418 is 15-20% less powerful) Oh and to top it off, the Exynos 7420 actually ends up using less power than the SD808 because it was built on a lower process node.


I could keep going but I think you get my point


The V10 is a fine phone, but to say it "shits all over the note5" is just pure bollocks.

What do you guys think of the LG G Flex2? $240.

I used to have a MyTouch 3g back in the day, it was probably my favorite phone. Are there any modern phones that also use a sliding QWERTY keyboard like this? My budget limit is about 150$ USD but i'm willing to splurge more if it'll be worth it.

I wanna be that guy that never changes phones, you know like those old teachers you might of had with the same flipphone every year, except I want a smart phone that could last 4-5 years or even longer. Im planning on taking extra care of it. Which phone should I get?

100% of phones where I live are on a 2 year contract in my part of Canada. It is the same monthly usage fee if you are on contract or off.

Your own jailbroken phone you bought online: $65/month

New phone udner contract: $65/month

There is more or less one package offered and all companies (virgin, Telus, Rogers, etc) are subcontract from the same local phone provider. They are actually all the same company where I live. Same speed, same tower, same price.

The government just lets them use their own names to pretend we have competition and options when it comes to service providers here.

I picked up one of the $10 Moto E from Best Buy. I had a $10 reward certificate so it was basically free. I figured it would be a good backup phone and I'm just kind of interested to see what budget phones are like right now.

I have an S6 but I leave it in power saving mode most of the time, I'm curious to see if the Moto E is noticeably slower than the S6 in power saving mode. If it is pretty close, I'd probably only buy budget phones from now on. I'm thinking the 1GB of RAM is going to be the biggest bottleneck.

Why not just buy an iPhone?

>>51548500
How long does the S6 last? An entire day?

>>51548371
Droid 4 or Photon Q
They were the last Android phones with a physical keyboard, you can get a bluetooth keyboard and use that with any phone

>>51548524
Yeah, it goes a solid day with Power Saving mode on and moderate usage. It usually has 25-30% left when I go to bed. Battery life is the weakest point of the S6 for sure, but it's not terrible.

So I'm looking to upgrade my nexus 4, and I came across a deal to get a refurbed nexus 5 16gb for 170 or 32gb for 180. I'm wondering if anyone who's had the n5 could tell me whether they think it's worth it. Bearing in mind that the only reason I want to replace my n4 is because the battery is crapping out and I'm starting to get some annoying bugs after having it for a few years now.

Anyone know of any better deals for relatively close to the price for performance I'd get here, or should I just go for it. My upper limit for price would be around 300 at the max, but the lower I can go without too much sacrifice the better.

>>51549646
the nexus5 has a notoriously shit battery

>>51549731
Worse than the nexus 4 was? Because the n4 battery was fine for me, the one I have is just degraded from years of use.

>>51549763
Then get a new one and continue using your phone.

>>51549850
The one I have is also old enough at this point that I'm running into some annoying bugs and such, so I want a different phone either way. I'm just trying to figure out if this deal I've found is the best thing I can find in my budget range or if someone else has found something I missed. So the question I was actually asking you was, if your biggest reason for me not to get the nexus 5 is the battery, is the battery life of the nexus 5 worse than that of the nexus 4 in a meaningful way? Because if it isn't then that's not going to bother me.

Fucking happens weekly for new phones, has been happening (less frequently than weekly, okay, but still) for the oldest phone since like when it came out 4 years ago.

You are talking out of your ass.

> and no usa
USA's fault for not having any of the ITU global bands, but special shit. I do not know why your phone operators did that.

The phones support almost all global ITU bands for FDD-LTE (1,3,7 usually, only not 28), TDD-LTE (38,40), or for new models like the Mi4c BOTH of these.

>>51551066

That is comparatively heavy, but the phones generally have plenty of RAM and processing power (mi4i has annoyed some people with much bloated social media apps and games, I guess).

If you don't like it, use some other ROM, cyanogenmod or derivatives or whatever. It's easy to flash whatever you come across, stock recovery works, TWRP / CWM are usually available, no locks.

Personally, I like MIUI and would also put it on other devices (MIUI is open sauce and supports many devices) if I switched away from Xiaomi.

I have MIUI 7. Could have Android 6 on Cyanogenmod beta or something, but I'll wait until MIUI is ported - it has far more features than base Android anyways.

> Oh please. If other OEM's can (even dirt poor ones like One Plus) support USA's bands, other richer OEM's like Xiaomi have no excuse.
The USA actually has no excuse for not supporting ITU global bands. It's a "shamefuru dispray", like much of your infrastructure.

Xiaomi might sell in the USA at some point, and they'll adapt phones then - sure. But they went with "Asia first", and mostly on global bands, and it got them to number 3 phone vendor - so actually, they don't have much reason to care. Prospective buyers do.

Yes, Helio X10. You can root it and install a different recovery. Google.

Real world performance is more than fine enough. Seriously, what are you going to do that requires more processing power than a eight core Helio X10 or six core Snapdragon 808 has?

Also, actually for a lot of tasks, benchmark suites *do* translate to real world performance.

Yea, whatever. You're actually using work by both...

Lel, your system evidently doesn't work fine if you can't even use the nice phones from the 3rd largest manufacturer in the world.

You're amongst the very few nations in the world who don't have either bands 3 or 7 for FDD-LTE or 40 for TDD-LTE, or any of the other global bands. It's about as bad with imperial units.

I can guarantee you that 99.9% of Americans don't even know that Xiaomi exists. Their content with iPhones and Samsungs. This "issue" really only affects enthusiasts.

They're new ARMv8-based designs, they have encryption / h.265 / ... optimizations. And they do throttle fine.

Surely so. Hype might happen once adapted Xiaomi's are in Walmarts and T-mobile / AT&T stores, but basically all plebs don't know right now. /g/ knows in advance, eh.

The well-informedness or absence thereof of plebs isn't too relevant though - this was a *big* fuck-up by your FCC and/or providers, regardless whether plebs know it.

It is just stupid (though not devastatingly so) to be the lonely technology island for something like this when everyone else right to Africa and Asia manages to do better.

>>51551724
I can't really say they fucked up because the vast majority of Americans are satisfied. It's only enthusiasts like me who suffer.

Well, you are kinda paying for it.

I'd be even more pissed off after mostly same entities' fuck-up with broadband internet - $400bn estimated (http://newnetworks.com/bookofbrokenpromises.htm) and still going on.

Well, maybe this one is a bit more subtle, but I wonder how many of your fellow citizens would shoot at someone who grabbed a wallet with the same amount of money directly from them.

>>51551660

I'm hoping a 5.5 phone with a better battery gets a similar discount.

Is the Nexus 6 worth it?

>>51551942
what phone do you have now

>>51551956
Nexus 5

>>51551660
tfw bought one less than a month ago used for $270

>>51547071
most oems just throttle SD810, which then performs just like SD808 and doesn't overheat. It's not an issue anymore, unless you buy some garbage like One M9.

>>51551956
G3

>>51551520
I wonder if I can make an app that does the same for Apple

Then again I'm betting you cant even access the contact list, nor post it on the apple store

>>51551969
>>51551979
If you can deal with a big phone, sure. The deal isn't bad. You won't get it for 200 again anytime soon. It'll be 280+.

>>51551969
For you, it'd be a downgrade believe it or not.
>>51551979
Maybe. You could do much better if you'd be willing to spend more money.

>>51547462
Yes, performance is WAY better in Style. it's basically top-tier Snapdragon, while Play has lower-mid-tier sd615.
Play is having much more powerful battery tho.

From what I've heard, there are some other differences, but don't remember atm. There are many comparing videos on jewtube.

welp there's the deal, $259 for the 64gb nexus 6

and there's the 32 for $199

NEXUS 6 on sale for $199 on amazom

>>51552078
>>51552092
Goddamnit i should have fucking waited 2 weeks for this

Well fuck. I had no interest in a Nexus 6 but now I'm really tempted.

>>51551313
>You could, but you're then relying on sandniggers from XDA instead of trained professionals employed by Google.
You know there's literally zero difference between both, right?

Nexus 6 is a bit unwieldy for my tastes. I'm not seeing any other great sales yet though. Maybe monday.

>>51552139
do it, shit will sell out fast and wont be that cheap for a long time. better than anything that costs $200 right now

>>51552167
How's the battery life?

>>51552184
~4-5 hrs sot on average with everything turned on. standby life on 6.0 is really good. battery charges really quick.

Is that Nexus 6 even good?

DO NOT FALL FOR THE NEXUS 6 MEME

A CHEAP MEME IS STILL JUST THAT, A MEME

>>51552243
destroys any other phone at $200

>>51547462
It's like a 1/3 heavier (but because of the microSD slot and display maybe slightly better) variant on the Mi4c, go for it if you like it.

The Play should be good enough, but it's definitely weaker.

>>51551156
>By my standard, yes performance is quite poor. Compared to flagships like 6p, V10, G4, Z5, it's performance is quite poor.
Mi4c has literally the same Snapdragon 808 as the Style, V10, G4, doesn't it? Or are there any differences?

Is there any way to achieve the stock look of this lock screen but allows me to change the wallpaper? Or is their a launcher better than nova that let's me have an independent wallpaper?

I just want to change the wallpaper, but nova launcher is very different since I last used it and can't have it's own wallpaper, so now when I set a wallpaper for nova it applies to the lock screen as well.

>>51552273

CHARGE YOU ARE PHONE NIGGA

>>51552092
>>51552110
just bit. i don't like phablets but i NEED wireless charging and an OLED screen. deal is too good to pass up either ways. if googerola just priced the N6 lower at launch it would have sold much better. N5 is still going for $200 new.

>>51552286
I'm just about too, I'm trying to run the factory charge as flat as possible for some reason.

>>51552315
Yeah

>>51552317
Y-you too

Someone dump sales pls

Also I was probably going to get a new [spoiler]iPhone[/spoiler] tomorrow

>>51552317
>poor performing
Nice meme?

>>51552267
The two Mi4C variants at $210 / $250 and even the Redmi Note 2 Advanced at $160 basically match to beat it.

> Inb4 screen has 500 ppi rather than 400.

But for USA dwellers, that phone at $200 is a very good deal.

>>51552317
>stop liking what i don't like
thanks for the input mate

Kek hope all you kucks enjoy your slow downgrade Nexus phone

>>51552343
despite chink phones having a good spec sheet, i'd rather take stock updates right from google on my nexus.

>>51552355
I'm on first gen Moto G. I'll enjoy it.

Guys, in all honesty, how is the Galaxy S6? Shitposting and memeing aside.

Should I pick up it up for 1 dollar with a 2 year contract tomorrow or are there better phones that are also on sale that I should be aware of?

>>51552355
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 so I'll be fine.

>>51552372
the s6 has GARBAGE battery life. don't sign a contract for service, don't lease or finance a phone. get the n6 for $199 and byod to tmobile or similar.

That would imply they're not good in reality?

No, they're kinda made better than the Nexus. Well, either is good enough...

> i'd rather take stock updates right from google on my nexus.
As you prefer, I will prefer MIUI over stock Android anyways. No Nexus 6 port of MIUI yet though, just for Nexus 5 and others ... I wonder if there's some issue with the kernel or something somewhere.

>>51552372
Good camera, pretty neat, pretty expensive for little benefit.

So, Google is serious with deals on BF or what?
I'm in Europe and I don't see shit yet

Netherlands here.

Looking for cheap smart phone with HDMI out (or other video out option).

Purpose: turn the phone into small workstation with chrooted debian with an external screen + USB or BT keyboard.

Why don't you get a cheap TV box?

Your screen will have to be powered anyways, right?

And if it's battery powered, that's usually ... a tablet.

>>51553356
I would like to just have to carry the phone, and plug it in whatever screen available when I'm on the move.

You can find smartphones with HDMI out too: http://www.phonerated.com/hdmi_phones-listbycat

But they're not as many, and I wonder how many of those will nicely run Debian...?

Maybe you can also carry a small Miracast ("HDMI over WLAN") adapter and use one of the quite many smartphones that have Miracast support? Again not sure about Debian support anyways...
