Any of you try rooting your Verizon LG G4?
I know it's possible, but I just want to know if any of you have succeeded in doing it before I go through with it.

How many Moto E's did you niggas buy?

4 here

Fifth for telling this guy that he is an idiot and didn't get a tempered screen protector that literally costs $8

What's the best way to assign custom notification tones for each contact on Cyanogenmod?

I want to set it so some of my contacts from work have unique ringtones when they insist on texting me, rather than calling like an adult.

>>51600903
Yeah, I failed, but the thread still shows up in /g/spg search so it's not that a big deal.

5X is more expensive than the G4 because of the 23MP meme?

How's the battery life people?

Planning to get a Nexus 5 with lollipop 5.0

Now time for a -maybe silly- question:
Can I upgrade all the way to Marshmallow 6.0 skipping 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?

>they made the moto g an inch bigger
fucking why,

So I have to upgrade to a Moto E or some overpriced Sony product if this dies.

Im torn between the G4 and Moto X Style
The G4 is 50 pounds cheaper btw.

Okay that's what I thought, just making sure.

Is the fx0 still limited to Japan? I can't find any info on it in Australia so I'm assuming it's a no go

Bumping for an answer to my question.

Do you /g/uys think it's worth to get a new Nexus 5 at this time of the year? If not, what's a good Android memephone I could buy <$500 (USD, but I live in NZ)?

I'm getting a Nexus 5X, anything I should know?

>>51603409
not a terrible article. V10 fangoys will be annoyed it only got an honourable mention though.

Thinking of getting an Alcatel Idol 3(the 5.5" model), is there any other phone I should consider at that price point?

>>51600846
US boy here, thinking about getting a Galaxy S6(primarily for Gear VR). Is the Note 5 that much better? I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of the S Pen, or whether or not that justifies the expense, but I'm not too worried about the extra money if it does.

Also, does anyone know of any lightweight custom roms for these as well? I've heard that the stock touchwiz is pretty bloated.

I'm ordering through T-Mobile. does it says that the total price of the phone is discounted by 100 dollars. Does anyone know if that's a permanent price drop or if it's just a black friday thing that'll be over tonight?

>>51604691
Note5 is apparently better for VR, there is a slightly larger FOV, the S6 feels a bit more cramped. If you really are set on the GearVR i'd at least take a look at the note.

As for the price drop, it might only be for blackfriday/cybermonday. But I wouldnt be shocked to see deals on it before christmas and after christmas as well because the S7 is coming only ~2 months after that.


As for light weight roms, you really probably just want to debloat the stock rom instead, there should be debloating guids on XDA.

>>51604569
great phone but not enough battery capacity.

If you literally want a mobile computer in your pocket then by all means get it

I want a new phone tmr

Moto X Pure or LG V10?

Lads all I want is something that I can have 20 gigs of music on, can run snapchat, tinder, facebook etc., and I can use the internet on. Everything is specced up af or so low end it can't run apps. Any recs?

>>51604361
The nexus 5 is a good phone thatsm still holds up even today. The only problem with it is the mediorcre battery and camera.

Id suggest looking into the new moto g or if you can afford it, the moto x.

>>51604390
Don't get it.
The moto x is probably better and or if you can, get the nexus 6p
>>51605361
Tough decision.
I'd say the v10, as the camera and its' removable battery is just too good to pass.
>>51605408
Go in a bit more detail?
Anything with 16gb+ can do that.

>>51605440
Thanks, I liked to V10 a lot too

Has anyone seen any good cyber Monday deals announced yet?

>>51606165
15 mins senpai, unless we get dicked this year

>>51606176
>15 mins senpai, unless we get dicked this year

Usually deals won't go live until midnight on the west coast FYI

>>51605440
Rec guy here, cheers for the interest.
The problem I'm having is that the low-end stuff tends to be truly terrible or tries to be better than it is. Either option leads to poor value for money. I guess I'm just looking for a phone that isn't expected to do to much but can do the things it does (music, basic apps, internet) well.

I'm thinking the fx0 so long as Aussie simcards are supported. If I throw in some extra storage it should go all right.

>>51602642

>the S7 is coming only ~2 months after that.
Ahh, I thought it'd be coming closer to the middle of the year for some reason. if I only have to wait until February, and they really are bringing the 820 and MicroSD back, then I'd rather just wait three months.

>>51606195
ton of black friday deals were all eastern so meh

>>51606268
well S6 was april, and the rumour is they want it out before that. My guess is mid-late feb. or early march.

>>51604390
Go for the 6P, the 5X is experiencing performance problems, especially with encryption enabled.

Planning to get a Nexus 5 with lollipop 5.0

Now time for a -maybe silly- question:
Can I upgrade straight to Marshmallow 6.0 (using a factory image for the nexus 5) skipping 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?

>>51606382
yes

Still no deals other than what we knew so far and what has been available all weekend :(

Which website is best to buy an unlocked phone on?

Newegg.com?
Bestbuy.com?
Amazon?

Even the CEO wears fucking Turtlenecks. If you're buying an android at least have some self respect.

>>51606226
Ausfag eh? I'd say get the new moto g, I think office works has it for around $300. It's a pretty midrange phone.

>>51606577

Its also water resistant, has front facing speakers and a microsd card slot.

any suggestions? I really only use my phone for texting and messaging, but I still need a smartphone for email and shit

>>51607024
Which country? If not US, buy Moto X Play. Very good camera, godlike battery life and pure android with actually very useful features.

Hit refresh on the Nexus 6 page on Amazon, and it dropped $20 in price. Hit refresh again 10 seconds later, and it went back up $20.

Where the fuck are the deals

So, i ordered a Xiaomi mi4c, the 3gb ram version. How badly did i fuck up?

It stopped being a thing when online retailers did black friday deals and vice versa.

i dont want a free fucking tablet i just want the phone to be 325 again fuckkkkk
tmobile a shit

Looking to upgrade from a Nokia Lumia 928, on the Verizon network, so the new Lumias coming out aren't an option, plus I'm looking to move away from Window's phone.

I've been looking at the LG v10 vs. Nexus 6P.

Camera is one of the most important things to me, I do use it a lot for work.

V10 looks good, always nice to have an SD slot and the camera seems decent.

6P looks good as well, camera from what I've read is excellent, plus not having crap preloaded on from the carrier or manufacturer sounds nice.

What does /g/ think?

From people who have upgraded from a smaller phone like the 928 to a larger phone, how was it for y'all?

>>51607530
I looked at v10 too,

Isn't it pretty expensive though.


Right now I am between moto X pure and the v10

>>51607410
It will be just fine. It's one of the best phone deals right now.

>>51607401
Both black friday and cyber monday aren't overall a stock clearance affair anymore, right?

Mostly sold will be devices where the stock will clear quickly anyways...

If you are on budget, is the Moto X pure more bang for your buck?

>>51607913
If you can afford it yew. It's basically a 2015 flagship. The only reason I don't own one is because it's ridiculously expensive in EU, this shit is almost 1,5x as expensive as LG G4.

>>51607913
Not really than a Xiaomi (mi4c, note 2/3), OnePlus (1,X,2), or other Chinese phones.

If you're in the USA, be advised the USA has no global bands, the Xiaomi's 4g networking on TDD-/FDD-LTE won't work. EU and elsewhere will usually be fine.

guys tell me there will be a deal on a G4 today

in the market for a new phone
is the oneplus 2 any good?

Want to buy a Moto X Force here in Europe, also called Droid Turbo 2 in murica.

Looks like it's going to go out for around 550 euros. Should I do it? I have no need for higher ends phones, but this one looks cool as the display never shatters, so I can use it for years without problem.

My current phone is a Galaxy S3, but it's already showing its age.

Anyone had Lenovo S660? What's your opinion about it?

Can't decide between the Moto X 2nd 32gb or the Nexus 6 32gb. Both are 300€ and as cheap as they can get here.

So the Samshit s6 is for sale on amazon, should I go with that or get a Nexus 5x? Or maybe even wait out Cyber Monday.

>>51608708
Don't have a good overview. These two come to mind:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (if you're not in the USA).
LG G4

You'll surely find more.

>>51608862
Isnt the Redmi note 3 available now as well?

>>51608777
> Can't decide between the Moto X 2nd 32gb or the Nexus 6 32gb
Nexus 6P > X Style > Nexus 6 > Moto X 2nd ... if you ask me.

> Both are 300€ and as cheap as they can get here.
If the deal isn't good enough get a recent OnePlus or Xiaomi or something. ~$170-300 with the upper end of that ending up like the Moto X Style (Mi4C is almost an exact pendant in most key specs).

>>51608878
At the end of the month or so, yes.

But they changed things around. it hasn't got a microSD slot and removable battery anymore. It now has a metal back and fingerprint scanner and more RAM instead (when comparing the better variants of the Note 2 and 3 each).

>>51608862
>Redmi Note 2
it looks as though this'll work in my country, and it's only 200 dollarydoos so i'll go with that

i'm coming from a HTC m7 that reports having 20% battery when it's actually dead

>>51608987
Should be $160-170 (Gearbest, Geekbuying, ...) for the better edition.

But yep, I think it'll be fine. Also ordered that one for myself. Even has a PDAF camera (though not the very best, it's decent).

>>51608987
> i'm coming from a HTC m7 that reports having 20% battery when it's actually dead
That's kinda normal when plugged in with a dead battery and voltage-based battery status (as is usual).

Dead will be just dead, though. And it happens to pretty much all Li-ion packs in 8 years or less.

>>51608922
Most chinese brands don't support lte band 20 which is why i'm hesitant about buying one.

Would you recommend a OnePlusX 16gb for 270€ or OnePlus2 64GB(16gb is out of stock) for 400€ over the Nexus 6?

Just bought the Nexus 5x 32gb (along with a case and a USB C adapter) for 388 including taxes. I don't do anything other than 4chan and social media on my phone, so I should be okay right? P-please tell me I made a good choice.

>>51609094
> Most chinese brands don't support lte band 20 which is why i'm hesitant about buying one.
Sure. They don't. Do you need it? Most countries / providers in Europe have 3 and 7 anyways, and even that is just for LTE data.

> Would you recommend a OnePlusX 16gb for 270€ or OnePlus2 64GB for 400€
You decide. The OnePlus X is ~ equivalent to a Nexus 6 (a bit lighter, a bit slower, much better front amera - but really somewhat the same), the OnePlus 2 is better.

>>51609165
> I don't do anything other than 4chan and social media on my phone, so I should be okay right?
You could easily have made do with a Redmi 2 2GB for $100-120 or so then. Of course you'll be fine.

>>51609223
I'm American, so the Xiaomi stuff is kind of a hassle to own right?

>>51609048
i'm on gearbest, is this version the better edition?
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229217.html
its $146 USD = $206 AUD

>>51609245
Yes, in terms of 4G networking it's a hassle.

The USA does not have *any* of the global FDD-LTE bands which the Xiaomi supports almost comprehensively.

Out the global bands 1, 3, 7, 28 (FDD-LTE) or 38, 40 (TDD-LTE), only 28 is missing on newer models. But you just have none of them (or any of the extra bands that it also has).

Not much you can do until Xiaomi makes an US-adapted phone in terms of LTE. If you don't need 4G / LTE, there should be no problem, though.

>>51609307
No. That's the 16GB version. Slightly lower clocked Helio X10 (not sure anyone will care much about that, though - the difference isn't huge) but 16GB rather than 32GB storage.

The 32GB edition is the better one. Like, here:
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229219.html

Just beware, the Redmi note 2 is known to have battery life issues.
The Redmi note 3 is exactly the same (in terms of hardware) as the note 2, with the exception of bumping the battery size up by 1000mah (4000mah) and removing the MicroSD card slot.

Not breaking any world records, but it's quite fine, really.

Unless you intentionally configure it to never go to sleep or something -which you actually already can on stock MIUI- you'll be fine.

>>51609460
Now, certainly, if you pay more for a more miniaturized SoC and stuff, it can also look like this. Neat, but paying over twice the price for such a phone is maybe not worth it.

Well, it isn't to me, anyways.

You could carry a second battery, or do what I actually do: Use a $12 10Ah (rated at 3.6V, also Xiaomi) USB battery pack for longer trips on foot. It has two extra charges (effective 6250mAh rated at 5.1V).

>>51609625

If you can bear with touchwizz then yeah. I would have gotten it, but it doesn't ship to Hawaii unfortunately.

>>51608777
The nex 6 is literally just a moto x 2 but 6 inches plus a better soc.

I can get an s6 32g new for 430€ ie 445ish $

Why shouldn't I do this?

>>51601600
No. You go through the updates one by one.

What you can do, is use a toolkit and install stock 6.0 from the get go.

Fuck, cant decide on getting either a Nexus 6 or Nexus 6P - Huawei

FUCK lads

Is it worth the extra 300 AUD for the 6P?

>>51609788
Maybe because a Mi4C is $250 and a OnePlus 2 is $380.

>>51610365
Not very likely, no. It has a better processor and stuff, but what are you actually going to use it for...?

>>51610769
It's just going to be my work phone, so I guess emails, calls, SMS and a little bit of Dynamics (company decision). Maybe a bit of note taking on the go

>>51610794
You could easily work with a Redmi 2 2GB (~$100-120) or Redmi Note 2/3 ($160-170 / $200-210 on preorder) or whatever else that has like a 25k Antutu score or higher, then.

They're all already more than powerful / nice enough as glorified HTML viewers (email or websites) and stuff.

>>51610849
The Redmi 3 looks very good, too bad about the lack of removable battery and no sd though

>>51610910
Redmi Note 2 is mostly the same (minus fingerprint reader and 1GB extra RAM) but with a removable battery.

Also, more general -apart from my brand / value / ROM choices- the point might be that you can use almost any halfway decent phone for this.

Almost everything 2015 has 20k+ on Antutu. (most are far above it, the OnePlus X is at ~38k, the Redmi Note 2 is at 45-50k, a S6 or OnePlus is at like ~62k, and a 6P has ~85k. All completely overkill for glorified HTML browsing, but at least some of them are cheap.)

Okay, I've got a question.

Basically, I'm on T-Mobile, and I want to get out. I've returned my phone, but the EIP balance is still on my account. I've called customer service and I've been assured that I'll get a reply within a week. The thing is, there's a deal on a phone I want with activation on the carrier I want to move to today.

If possible, I want to transfer my number, but I assume that would close the T-Mobile account and immediately charge me for the remaining EIP balance that shouldn't be there.

Would it be possible to order the phone now and then just not use it until I get the balance removed from my account? Would that avoid any issues?

>>51606480

>>51611145
I saw there are some AOSP and I think now Cyanogenmod derivative ROMs, as well as MIUI derivatives.

But I clearly prefer MIUI. As relatively fat as it may be, it has really quite extensive settings and well-designed stock apps, as far as I'm concerned. So I haven't even tried them on the Note 2 yet.

>>51611192
If you need to sign up for service in order to get the good deal, you could probably do it by using a new number. I dont think you'll be able to get the phone on sale without either getting a new number or bringing your old one over today. If the old one is locked out for a few more days, you'll just have to wait or get a new number.

>>51600846

what would be a good phone for 200 britbong pounds, that has marshmallow installed on it already?

How's the battery life on the Note 5

>>51611240
Alright, thank you. I'll probably just get the phone with a new number, then transfer my current number to another account on the same carrier, then I'll just move my phone to that account. It's an inconvenience, but it seems to be allowed according to their website. It's worth the trouble, considering how much of a discount I'm getting on the phone if I order it soon.

>>51611368
Its breddy gud senpai. 4-5 hour screen on time.

With my average use I get a day and a half of battery, i could see a power user going through it in a day though.

Good thing about the note5 is the fast charging though. Plug it in and within 15-20 minutes you have enough battery to last several hours.

also, the built in wireless charging, while it isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, is pretty legit actually. Samsung sent me a free wireless charging pad so I keep it on my desk and most of the day I just have my phone sitting on the charging pad.

What's better in a smartphone:
a powerful octa-core processor and 2 GB of RAM, or a less powerful quad-core or dual-core but more RAM (say 4 GB)?

>>51601665
The fuck is up with that

>android is 99.9% stock

Z2 is goat phone. Only mixed with some shit in the camera

>>51600846
I tried it a few days before in the /sqt/ - thread:
Basically I want a decent smartphone with nfc, lte, a micro sd slot and sufficient software support (2 years, maybe?) Price range: 200 - 300€

Does somebody have some suggestions?
Is that possible or should I lower my expectations/enlarge my budget?

>>51612403
depends what you want it to do.
More RAM will allow more apps open without reloading, and more tabs in the web browser open.

But a slower CPU means applications will run slower, and in 2 years there may be applications your CPU can't handle.

A more powerful CPU will be able to handle those more intensive apps, but with the less RAM, will need to reload apps more often because it just doens't have the extra RAM.

Fucking chills convincing me of buying either a redmi note 2 or a mi4c.

I was looking at gearbest and they have nice enough prices, what I'm worried about is tax and such when it arrives. I'm in Sweden, how much do I have to pay for when it arrives?

>>51611063
It's on the back, but it's very good and loud. Location is affecting only how and when you can accidentally cover it. It's much easier to do so when it's on the back, but I also cover it very often on my xperia z1.

>>51612415
It's a fully glass phone sealed watertight. AKA it will literally fucking crack itself from overheating. Two of my friends own a Z3 and both have had their phones crack on them overnight. One of them literally has the display coming off the body so he has to use a case to keep it together.

Not to mention 0 warranty support in the US for the good phones they have like the Z5. And they're fucking expensive for what they are.

I can't think of anyone who would find 3 budget phones and choose one based on the camera. I don't even understand why people choose high end phones based on camera quality. It's literally the least important part of a phone to me.

>>51613394
Of course it doesn't have shitty camera. It's not the best on the market, but it's still very good.

I'm in the market for a new phone, but I don't know shit about phones. I've had an iPhone 4 for several years, and the one thing I really like about it is the size. I'm mainly looking for something relatively cheap and rugged with a good battery life. A huge screen isn't something I want, but a responsive touch screen would be nice. FYI, I live in the US.

What do you guys recommend?

>>51612280
Generic oversized overweight overheating flagship phablet shitheap.

>>51601665
Because they fucking self-melt.

>>51613663
>A huge screen isn't something I want
that's impossible now

>>51613663
Xperia z3 compact is small and has godlike battery life, up to 4 days with medium/mixed usage.

>>51613352
I'm thinking about buying the G3 too. Might install a Custom ROM on that to remove the bloat shit. Also the Moto X Play doesn't have a gyroscope

>>51613663

I live in Germany, and I am looking for a flip android phone.
I only need it for whatsapp, puzzle and dragons and internet nothing else.

I'm going to do it /g/

I'm going to buy a Sony Xperia Z5

>>51613923
>looking for a flip android phone
...why?

What possible legitimate reason can there be to get a flip phone in fucking 2017-2?


Import one from japan/korea for a stupid price(seriously it will be $400+ even for a piece of shit worse than your note3) or get over it.

Seriously.

>>51613891
since you want a phablet

lg g flex 2. currently available for 250 bucks (at least in europe)

>>51613949
I like the flip format, also I feel like the display is better protectet if it's flipped.
And I want physical keys and a phone feel.

>>51613908
here's your reply

>>51614031
well again, get ready to spend hundreds of dollars to import a piece of shit with worse specs than your current phone, and probably running an older version of android as well.

>>51614056
I am content with that, now can you recommend me one or not?

Is 360€ an acceptable price for the BB Classic?

>>51613727
>Also the Moto X Play doesn't have a gyroscope
what is it good for?

>>51614088
its up to what you want, no one on this board will have experience with modern flip phones because no one outside of korea/japan buys them.

It's going to depend where you are ordering from what phones you will want to look at because everything is going to be imported anyway, prices will vary WIDELY from place to place.

How risky is buying on ebay from Taiwan, Hong Kong, places like that?

I've heard it can be hit and miss, moreso than if you buy from Western countries.

>>51614136

>>51614182
>Xiaomi Redmi2
the phone I posted is already worse specs than that. The only thing it did have that was better was 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB like the Redmi2. The Redmi2 has a faster SoC and stuff.

If your friends can get you an import for cheap that's great, but you will still be paying taxes on it when it comes into the country, and it could be a retarded amount.

>>51614107
Some applications or games may require that, but if you're 100% sure you don't need it the X Play is a good choice too

>>51614159
use an amex or other credit card that has non-shit consumer protection

>>51614237
taxes are 19% so at 300 bucks it'll be around 60 euros.
I am thinking about them bringin the phone in their laguage when they come back - many people use 2 phones nowdays and I dont need any boxes

just not with current touchwhiz

>>51615493

you can get brand new note 4s for $500 all day long now.

still seems retarded paying that much for a year and a half old phone.

>>51615478

I just priced it out yesterday, for my wife and I it's 20 bucks cheaper a month on Verizon and my coverage won't be dogshit

We've been together for 6 years, just got married and looking at plans. She's always been on Verizon, and Ive been on ATT. She always has superior signal, or signal at all when we go camping/traveling.

Even if Verizon was more, it would be worth it because ATT's service is dogshit. They are also a terrible company that has always tried to fuck me on bills/promotions, where she never had Verizon do that to her.

>>51615474
That's such horse shit.Literally everywhere you go on XDA people talk about better battery and performance on CM over stock for the S4 and before my S4 Active I had the S2, which had an unlocked bootloader. Same thing, way better battery and preformance on CM than stock.

>>51615490

sucks for you man, I live in a big city on the east coast and for 4 lines, at&t was the obvious choice, I got 5GB more of data per month and saved $30/month.

>>51615540
I wasn't pricing out for 4 lines I suppose, and yeah, ATT out east is the same as Verizon just faster speeds. I'm on the great plains, and moving out west. ATT doesn't cut it. Tmobile almost has better coverage than ATT out west.

How's the SoT on the OP2?

>>51615516
Just checked, I'm getting 3.5 hours SoT with Lollipop touchwiz on a 2 year old phone

>>51615514
Depends on your local ATT rep really. I only go like once every two years and the dude is super friendly and helpful. Recently started college, gave my parents and me a nice discount on our family plan because of it along with an upgrade in our data plan for no extra cost when I got my new phone on contract. Didn't try to shove any 'free' tablet shit on us and even helped us cancel some insurance my dad(who doesn't speak english very well) fell for at another ATT rep he went to. Even offered a free case for my dad's iphone just because he had one laying around.

Fuck off, you've obviously never used an S6 or Note5, which are fantastic on 5.1.1 and are getting 6.0 in Dec for the Note5 and january/feb for the S6.

Note5 has Exynos 7420 which is a 14nm 8 core (4x A53 & 4x A57), and Mali T760MP8 GPU which is basically the only GPU powerful enough at the moment for QHD res screens besides the adreno 430 in the SD810.

V10 has SD808, which is a 20nm 6 core (4x A53 2x A57), and Adreno 418, which is not really meant for QHD res and is more suited for 1080p res screens and gaming.

Note5 has 4GB LPDDR4 RAM

V10 has 4GB RAM, but it's still the older, slower, and higher power LPDDR3.


Note5 has USF 2.0 internal memory

V10 has older, slower eMMC internal memory


Note5 has a digitizer which is far more advanced then an after market stylus you could get for the V10, it makes drawing, taking notes, and gaming super easy because it's so accurate.


Both of their cameras are about the same.


Note5 AMOLED display is the best display tested by Displaymate

V10 display is a great LCD display, but still can't compete with the top tier AMOLED in the note5.


basically, the V10 is a fine phone, it has removable battery and mSD card if you need them, if you DONT need those two things however, the note5 beats it in almost every way to be perfectly honest.


Oh also, VR porn nigggaaa, GearVR only works on the S6 and Note5.

>>51616818
the G4 WAS top 5, but since the V10 and Z5 and 6P came out i think it's only like top 7 or 8.

But Note5 and V10 are both top 5.

GearVR is actualy really good, I used it on my friends note4 and I am getting the new version for my note5 in a few weeks. I haven't tried the new version but everyone says its better than the innovator edition which i thought was pretty good already.

I don't know whether it's the best way, I don't even know if it'll work, but I think you might be able to find other sms apps in the play store that offer this functionality

please, anyone?

SO I live in Canada with our dollarydoos, and i need to send my S6 in for a battery replacement cause I am an irresponsible recharger.
I need a cheap af phone like less that 100 dollarydoos for koodo while i wait for my S6 to go through warranty and shit.

dude lmao

Honestly the only phones that work decently enough in that category are Windows phones. These come with all sorts of issues (mostly apps either being shitty or non-existent), but WP8.1 and now W10M tends to run better on cheap hardware than Android does.

I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent phone, but the 640 is a good temporary replacement or backup phone. Best part is you don't get uninstallable bloat or a carrier/oem skin.

Hey guys, what's the best i can get for around 300 euros? (i can go a bit higher if needed)
My use would pretty much be:
>browsing, music, light gaming, texting and not much else
The only thing i really need is a good battery and not over 5,5" display. I'd also like to root and install a custom ROM someday but it's not necessary. Thanks

>4 to 5 hours SOT is now considered good

fuck, seriously? im not the original asker, but this ticks me off. I wish phones would use 1080 ips lcd screens, forget thinness and stay at 7.6MM sides so we could get a fucking good battery life again.

apparantly apple is super prioritizing battery life on the iphone 7, which makes me pretty happy. i am an applefag anyways.

if you do not care about ergonomics go for it

Is this nigga serious? My old PC had 2GB RAM and it could run powerful games like Half-Life 2, TF2 and shit easily and with no lag.
