First for S7!

Need new phone

Specs by priority:
5-5.2"
LTE band 20 (800) for muh european carriers
2-3GB RAM
Good battery life
Price under 250€, used is ok, 2014 phones are ok
MicroSD
Full HD screen

What I don't want:
Sony Z series: Tiniest crack in digitizer means unusable phone, replacing screens on these is ass

>>54928076
Asus Zenphone 2 by far.

Who's getting the Z2.

Is it a shit made by Lenovo, or actually worth getting?

>>54928076
I'd go the Asus.

>>54928088
Oneplux X or Redmi 3.

I want to get get chinked, Xiaomi redmi 2 pro is a good start?

>>54928165
>Oneplux X
anon in other thread said shitty battery life
>Redmi 3
no LTE in Europe on all Xiaomi phones

Is there a way (app/root or otherwise) of changing the recent app menu of a Samsung to make it more like the simple list of stock android?

I really don't like shuffling card deck function they have but it looks like I'll be getting an S7 to replace my current nexus.

>>54928166
No, it's too old by now. Redmi 3 / 3 Pro are quite cheap.

>>54928165
>http://willmyphonework.net
check which one will work best

I'm pretty sure the redmi is faster. The OPX has a processor from like 2-3 years ago.

>>54928179
Vernee Thor? good cheap chink from /csg/. why not 5.5" though?

>>54928196
Not available in my 3rd world shithole.

>>54928187
Eh it uses the same card stack recent as stock. Only difference is the clear all button at the bottom.

>>54928245
Order from Aliexpress? delivery takes time but it's usually free.

>>54928230
>The OPX has a processor from like 2-3 years ago.
OPX has the 801, same as Z2, totally enough for me
>>54928232
>why not 5.5" though?
My current Sony Z2 with its 5.2" already feels a bit too big, but I will take a look at the actual measurements

>>54928294
Well at that price you can get G3, S5, or chinkshit.

>>54928252
>Eh it uses the same card stack recent as stock
Ah, I haven't updated my nexus in a while; still have the simple and quick functioning list.

A mistake to change that in marshmellow IMO.

Is the redmi note 3 pro really that good? Why is MIUI listed as a pro? I just want something that will give me great battery life, good updates, expandable storage, and a finger print reader. After years of being a Samshill, I've come to detest anything that isn't near-stock android.

Should I just wait for the moto G4 plus for actual support, reliable updates, stock, and cases?

Nexus 5x 16gb for £175 - good deal, anons?

>>54928460
It has very good specs for the money. SD650, 3GB RAM, 4100 mAh battery, SD slot, fingerprint reader etc.

If you hated touchwizz though you'll hate MiUi, it's an iOS clone that doesn't resemble stock android in any way. but you can flash AOSP or CM13 if your'e into that.

>>54928513
You won't get any better for that price. Just make sure you can be okay with only 10gb of free space.

>>54928528
Do the roms have any issues? I know people will often times experience weird quirks or lack of functionality from their fingerprint readers when using cyanogen and whatnot.

>>54928460
I'm reading anandtech's review for the Sony X right now, and the redmi note 3 pro is consistently in the middle of the pack for every benchmark test, even though it costs like 180-220 USD, which is insane.

The only downsides are bad camera and it doesnt have band support for everything under the sun

>>54928513
I struggle mightily with 16gbs and no SD card on my moto x. But if that doesn't bother you, that's an amazing deal.

>>54928577
I know that happens with Samsung units, because of their proprietary frameworks that govern their hardware.
Lurk some XDA ROM forums and see if people have issues with specific ROMs first.

>>54928577
The AOSP rom is made by Qualcomm, but the fingerprint does not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/rom-qualcomm-base-rom-redmi-note-3-pro-t3346350

It does on CM13 though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-t3350656

So i wanna spend ~500 pounds for a new phone.
I never had a phone except old nokia,now that amazon uk delivers s7 to my country should i spend an extra 50 pounds for edge?
Also ,what color would you say looks best?
im thinking silver>gold>black.

>>54928088
Same here, just slightly different:
4.8-5.2"
Price <= 300 Yuropoor
MicroSD only if less than 32GB

Anyone got suggestions?

>>54928779
>edge

Do you ever find yourself seeing the side of the screen and not the screen itself? If not then it's just a more fragile product.

Seriously what the actual fuck. I should have stopped at about hour 2 and 16 forum pages in. Was thinking about writing up a tutorial for XDA but who the fuck is going to read it. Just becareful anon, and be patient for that Unlock before you do anything stupid.

>>54928849
One thing I found out while browsing and reading recommendations: Don't go just by screen diameter, check the actual dimensions of the phone (if you have a reference phone). Sony Z2 (5.2") and LG G3 (5.5") are actually only 1mm on each side apart..

bought an S7 edge on ebay and it'll get here in 3 days. I feel like I shouldve bought the regular one at a t-mobile store bc of warranty. Can I still get warranty on ebay phones? I got the international version of the s7 edge.

>>54928599

You should still get a 1 year warranty with Samsung international. How easy it'd be to claim I can't say.

>>54928855
>chinkshit
How can you even fall for this. It looks cheap and flimsy, even the logo is ugly; the firmware is ugly as well as malware-ridden, the video samples from its camera on youtube are godawful. Buying a phone just because the SoC is more or less decent is stupid.

>Clumsy and audio

S7

>>54929114
A lot of stuff I'm seeing on the HTC 10 looks bad (compared to the S7)
So it comes down to preference. You can't unlock the S7 in the US, where the 10 has V4A out.
But if you want the best hardware then the S7. Software, the 10.

Fuck off, retard.

>>54928904
Sure, but screen diameter usually gives you a good idea about the size, whether it should be small or big.
I don't have a special preferrence about size in mm, but let's say 4.8-5.2 with a screen to body ratio of >=70%.
Know what i mean?

Can I get some sample pics taken with the redmeme?
I'm struggling to see any downsides besides having to fuck around with the ROMs and shit

>>54929196
If its the Exynos S7 audio is comparable, unless you meant through speakers

>>54929880
You don't need sample pics. the camera is shit, even for chink standards.

Will the Oneplus 3 have an AMOLED screen? I've seen some sources that says it will and some say it won't. Currently debating between that or the Zuk Z2 when they get released.

Veneer Thor: no notification LED (lol)
Meizu, Huwawei: No custom ROMs (thanks Mediatek)

>>54928088
the Honor 5x could be something for you, but it's 5'5"
Honor 7 is also quite nice and 5'2", but it costs around 300€ and it'd be a better advice to wait on the upcoming Honor 8(also apparently 5'2")

>everything is lacking SOMETHING
Know that feel. RN3P looks fantastic, but 5.5", LTE is in question and you'll have to pay 20€ for shipping and 19% on top of it, which makes it less of a bang for buck option.

>Vernee Thor
MediaTek, mediocore cam, not full HD and i'm willing to pay more.

>Meizu
Idk, i think meizu is just Xiaomi but worse.

>Huawei
Don't really care about ROMs that much. Yes it's nice, but not a must have. The P9 Lite looks great, but imo it's to expensive for what it offers if you compare it to other chink phones

I'd really like the OPX, simply change the cpu to SD650, give it a bigger battery like 3500mAh and sell it for 300€. Perfect phone.

I want the latest android and usb 3 type-c
what's the cheapest?

>>54930147
It's true, at least for the international version. Fastest SoC available with stellar battery life, water proof, micro sd support and all the other good stuff.

>>54929851
Both look good, but will the Mi4c get Adroid 6.x?
And will the Mi5 give my headphones enough power? I read that the output is only 0.18V or so, which is very low.

Pretty sure it will, MiUi 8 is based on Android 6 and it should come out soon.


The Xiaomi Mi 5 delivered great audio output when hooked up to an active external amplifier. The flagship was not only able to match the best for clarity, it also delivered splendidly high volume for arguably the best performance among the 2016 flagships so far.

>And will the Mi5 give my headphones enough power? I read that the output is only 0.18V or so, which is very low.
From http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-review-1411p6.php
:
>Stereo crosstalk was the only reading to be affected when headphones came into play and the increase was rather well contained. The rest of the readings remained unchanged and so did loudness for a truly impressive showing.

s7 vs s7 edge
worth ~40-55 pounds extra for the edge option?

>>54930432
edge has good battery life but the edge screen is pretty cancerous to hold and has no purpose other than looking cool

>>54930302
>when hooked up to an active external amplifier
Which is practically worthless. I won't carry a portable amp with me.

>>54930440
Not to mention will cost exponentially more than the standard one to repair/replace if it breaks.
S7's battery isn't bad. The E has a larger capacity but its screen is larger.

>>54930463
Get HTC 10 if your'e so concerned with audio quality.

It costs more to repair, protectors don't fit it,and it's functionally rather useless.

looking through the recommended chinkshit list now. It's for my mom and she's pretty dumb,so she might not be receptive to an "off-name" brand. The new vivo phones look excellent but she also don't want too big of a phone. Anything with Android 6.0 would be great since I can fuse her sd card with her phone internals. Her current problem is that she kept buying shit phones without my input and when she runs out of memory she cant install all of her apps to the phone and she complains and now she has money and wants me to choose one for her.

>>54932572

I say, go for the Moto /g/, the newest one. plus throw in a 32gb SD card, your mom won't have to worry about loosing space ever again.

They're identical except for the SoC. So my question is,

1. Is it possible to remove the SoC from one phone and attach it to the other? Assuming you flash the proper software, will that work?
2. Can you flash the dual-core OS onto the quad-core system and not have things fuck up?

so, I still have a stock lg g2. what to do with it.
It just werks but I feel I can do more with it.
should I install a rom? which one?

Have:galaxy s3
Need:
good cyanogen support, possibly for a long time (the s3 still gets cm13 nightlies every day)
Physical buttons ( like the s3)
Amoled screen would be nice, but only because of the "muh save battery" meme
Since i want custom roms it needs a snapdragon (i'm done with exynos bullshit)

I was thinking about the galaxy s5 or the oneplus 3, which is just a bit too big, but it's not an issue i think. Any other suggestions?

>>54934479
There is no logo at all on the front of my grey RN3P. Only on the metal back.

>>54936702
HTC 10, or s5

>>54932524
This is a bait right because ZF2 keeps updating every 2-3 weeks. One reason why ZF2 doesn't have marshmallow updates is because of Intel.

Notice on why Zenfone Laser and Zenfone Max got Marshmallow update first (Qualcomm). Now that Zenfone 3 is SD, it will not take too long for android updates.

>>54936563
Cm12.1 works really well with the g2. Much better battery life and performance. Just be prepared to take a hit on camera performance and losing IR.

Who /cubot/ note s here? Best cheap high capacity battery phone you can get.

>>54933872
Note 4

>>54933958
You can replace the battery you know

they even make 10,000 mAh aftermarket ones lel

>>54936702
I've got S5 with C13 and I'm very satisfied. The camera hit wasn't too bad, and the rest is perfect. If you don't mind plastic build, go for it.

>>54930471
>>54931048
Actually, check ifixit's teardown; both the S7 and the edge are difficult (and likely costly) to repair.
Samsung sewed up all that shit so tight that it's almost impossible not to fuck up the screen if you have to fiddle with the shit behind it.
Or if the usb port fucks up.

Basically, if you get an s7 of either type, never drop it and hope that, if you're planning on keeping it after the warranty runs out, that it doesn't spontaneously fuck up on you.
More so perhaps that more easily repaired phones out there.

>>54938199
Figures, that's the one thing I hate about Samsung and most manufacturers really.

Software updates makes me wanna buy a Nexus 6P and feel good about getting motherfucking Android Y or X (exaggeration). But the hardware of the Galaxy phones makes me wanna buy them. But I don't want to shell out money for a new Galaxy every year.

>>54937955
Source? this sounds bad..

>>54929114
10 for software, which is light years ahead of Sammy
S7 for specs(though the crappy software may render then useless)
G5 for camera

>>54938321
Wait till this year's Nexus then. With a snapdragon 820 and at least 4 gigs of ram, the hardware will be just as good as any other flagship this year. With stock Android, they'll probably fly.

Except it'll probably be made by Huawei again and be fucking 5.7 inches big. The reason HTC 10 and Samsung S7 are attractive is because they're made for manlet hands.

If you're in the US it'll have a Snapdragon 820, which has a worse DAC than the HTC 10. The international version has an Exynos chip which has a comparable DAC

What's a good and CyanogenMod-friendly smartphone with a sdcard slot?

do you guys recommend buying "old" phones but in new condition from ebay? Like buying an s6 instead of s7 to save money? if so which are some good models. my budget is 300$

>>54939385
Pick any Xiaomi Redmi 2 and up model. Redmi Note included.

>>54939385
Willeyfox Storm / WIlleyfox Swift.
Cyan OS out of the box, no locked bootloaders, and bonus points if you are a furfag - the fox logo on the back goes well with a murrsuit.

>>54939385
Are you a richfag or a poorfag?

>>54939385
Oneplus x.

>>54939631
No, old phones do not get support or updates, and they have outdated specs.

>>54939701
they seem to have better specs for the price than the cheaper phones. If i had the money id get an s7 or whatever but i don't. What would you recommend for someone who wants something under 300 dollars?

did sony fix z3+ overheating problems with z5?

>>54939709
Oneplus 2, although 3 is launching in a few days,

Redmi Note 3 Pro ~$200 and is excellent.

Zopo Speed 8 has great specs for $250.

>>54939678
>>54939690
>>54939701
Ok - thanks for the suggestions.

>>54939697
Not richfag but could pay a bit more if the quality is good.

Are there good games for android that aren't Duet or Pixel Dungeon?

>>54939837

>>54939790
I am an american so no compatibility for note 3 pro and zopo speed 8 I will wait for oneplus 3 though i guess

>>54940014
What carrier are you on? it works on T-mobile.

>>54900667
>>54910034

Live in Ireland, should I get the Redmi Note 3 Pro or just wait out for the motog4 plus? Assuming it's the same price as it is in India it looks like it shouldn't be more than €250, which seems reasonable just to have the guaranteed reliable 4g and updates.
I'm with 3

Anything positive to Apple removing the headphone jack or is it fucked? I was set on getting a new iPhone but this kinda ruins it for me.

>>54940054
The RN3P is faster anyway. SD650>SD617. has a bigger battery as well and should work on your carrier. camera is probably better on the Moto though.

>>54940095
Was on to customer support and Rajeki/poo in the loo said they couldn't guarantee coverage. Redmi's specs are no doubt better but if updates and coverage are a risk I'm not certain

>>54940112
Weird, it has all the compatible bands.

>>54940059
It doesnt seem hugely likely. No positives yet. If you can't charge and use headphones at the same time it's ridiculous; and no one wants to have to use a shitty adapter. Adapters tend to be the Apple way though

Question for any anons with an S7 and nova launcher:

If you're using nova instead of the samsung launcher, can you still get samsung themes?

I like using nova, and I've been carting around the same set of icons around in every phone that I must use due to autism (the symbols and their meaning have long been etched into my brain) and nova has the easiest way of swapping around homescreen icons.

Thing is, I'd like to do this whilst also using an amoled friendly Samsung dark/black theme.

Will one interfere with the other?

>>54940031
I am att and you still need all the bands for decent coverage and speed. The camera and speakers are god awful, much worse than the g3 which is still cheaper. also you have to deal with chinese shit and bad UI

>>54940127
Yeah, looks like it should work actually, don't know what Jakeera was on about. Any additional shit I should know if buying from the Xiaomi site?
Will I need to do any scary ROM shit to get it to work properly?

>>54940206
>also you have to deal with chinese shit and bad UI
Eh, you can flash CM13 or AOSP on it fairly easy. >>54935698

But since you don't have the coverage it's irrelevant. get a OP3 when it's out.

>>54940207
>if buying from the Xiaomi site?
Don't buy from there it's overpriced on their shop, buy from Aliexpress.

>Will I need to do any scary ROM shit to get it to work properly?
Depends if your'e fine MiUi or not. MiUi is a skin on top of android that basically looks like iOS. if your'e ok with that you don't need to do anything. if you'll hate it though, yeah you gonna need to flash different ROM's like AOSP or CM13. it's not very hard but can be quite annoying.

>>54940224
yeah i actually spent a shit ton of time research the redmi note 3 pro because willmyphonework.net said it would have 2/3 bands for 4g lte. Turns out the website is wrong because there is no "global" version and neither does flashing the global rom add all those bands. Ill wait for OP3.

>>54940243
Thanks. I'll have a look at people using it and see what I think

>>54928019
Does anyone have the exynos version of the S7? Anon in the last thread said the UI never stuttered for him, but I have not yet seen a single S7 review that didn't show at least a bit of stutter, or unresponsiveness. They could all have been the S820 version for all I know, can anyone clear this up?
I've also used an S6 edge and scrolling was always stuttery.

Got a Nexus 6P, it's nice but way too big and the battery's a bit shit.

>>54940306
It's called lagdroid for a reason. you want smoothness get an iPhone.

>>54939713
They added another heat pipe, and it's supposedly much better

>>54940306
If you've been watching US reviews then yes they all had Snapdragons

>>54940359
Why are you guys still trying to push this meme? Samshit=/=android, even 3 year old nexus phones were smooth. My two year old xperia Z2 never stutters no matter what I do
>>54940386
But how is it different from the exynos version? I know there's supposed to be a difference, but is it significant?

>>54940397
exynos is a faster cpu nothing else really different.

>GoogleCEOSundar Pichaihas indicated they could be adding more software features on top of pure Android to their Nexus phones in the future. He made the comments at the Code conference.

>In a conversation withRe/Code and Verge’s Walt Mossberg, Pichai said they will be investing more effort into their Nexus smartphones.

>“We will be opinionated where we need to be and where we feel that we need to push the category forward. You’ll see us actually add, more thoughtfully features on top of Android on Nexus phones. There’s a lot of software innovation to be had,” Pichai told Mossberg.

>Pichai’s comments have sparked debate that perhaps Google’s Nexus series, which is known for its pure Android OS, could move away from that, and come with their own unique software features from Google.

>Google’s CEO however said the company has no plans to manufacture its own smartphones, and added they will continue to work with OEMs to make Nexus smartphones.

Hey guise, this summer i'll spend 5 days in a festival, and i need a power bank to stay connected these 5 days.
I've thought about the 16000mAh xiaomi one, will that be enough?

>>54942612
Xiaomi or Anker power banks are good, just make sure you buy the original and not fakes.

>>54942612
If you participate in the festival yes

If you are going to spend it in your tent browsing /g/, then consider two.

But to be more cereal, a good battery bank will in practice transfer about 80-90% of its capacity to your phone (if the batteries are still fresh). Lets say that one will give you 14000 mah of juice, that equals roughly 4,7 full charges if you have a 3000 mah battery in your phone, or 7 charges if you have a 2000 mah battery.

If you only use your phone for casual texting and calls and some photo shots, you should make due with about 2 or 3 charges in 5 days.

I think that 16000 mah batter bank is just fine for your situation.

I'm a poorfag so I have to pay through at&t's next program.

>>54942825
The more the better, you don't want to run out of battery and fail work because you saved 5$ and one snickers worth of bagage space.

Are there any current, on-contract Verizon phones that allow bootloader unlocking / ROM flashing? Thinking about S7 but I would really prefer something rootable.

My moto g suddenly rebooted. Now the notification area says no notifications when i know i have them. The home button does nothing most of the time. Quick settings have vanished (two-finger swipe, two swipes, corner swipe all do nothing). The lock screen is bypassed, I'm placed right where i left.

I disabled all xposed modules, no change. Rebooted a few times. Left it powered off for a while... no change.

has anyone here gone from an iphone to an android and actually liked it?

The camera was atrocious, but I don't take many photos so it was okay. I don't even remember what I did about losing imessage. I don't miss it at all.

>older devices work almost just as when bought for years, many people still use even 4s which was made in 2011 I think, all Androids of that time are beyond obsolete
>iOS has simply better looking interface, never crashes and it is simplistic as a phone should be
>it is really fast. I don't know why/how, but it simply doesn't lag compared to even newest Androids with insane specs on which I shouldn't even see a slight lag
>phones overall have good aesthetics, but so does Sony
>you don't need third party app for literally everything because stock apps don't suck like on Android
>you will use your phone 50% less of the time because you don't have to manage anything, it will be there to pick it up to do stuff at any time but trust me you just won't, you get bored easily of iOS but in a good way
>makes you more productive
>iBooks
>superior photo/video editing apps and generally apps desu
Apple cons
>for me, iTunes is really annoying. this is actually an understatement, its horrible
>they don't have their Apple Store/Music in many countries
>expensive. this is a big deal. it usually goes something like: buying one Android per year or two years, but having one iPhone for couple of years. luckily, they won't fail you even after like 4 years or even feel outdated, so price might be worth it
>easy to get bored of it, especially when you see some newest Androids coming out with great features
>iPhone Plus costs even more for which price you could get many other Androids
>a lot of stuff simply doesn't exist on it, such as torrents, file managers, but if you ever used it you'd know how trivial that is on iOS which simply isnt about that, but could be annoying nontheless
>poor iCloud app

I think iOS is great for it's simplicity, but my main gripe is that it doesn't do proper multitasking.

2bh I'm using an LG G5 and I really haven't noticed any lag at all. Even the 6s lags on some stuff. People who stick ROMs like CM on Android phones have more lag because the software isn't optimised, but stock ROMs are usually fine.

At the end of the day it's really about what ecosystem you're more heavily invested in.

>>54940359
Pretty sure my "outdated" Nexus 5 is snappier than the comparable iPhone 5S.

>>54944513
You sure? 5s is widely recommended as a flawless budget phone. In a non capitalistic world, nobody would need phones after 5s, maybe only with bigger screen.

Could you guys recommend me something really good and new for up to 500 euros?
I don't know much about latest phones (as in since 2013) as it's not my hobby/work, but like everybody else I need a reliable phone.

I like Sony Xperia Z5/Premium. There are couple of others good as well, but ugly. LGs are ugly as fuck, sorry but that does matter. Nexus 6P doesn't seem bad either.

>>54944526
Yeah. Google updates don't break their older phones unlike Apple.

So just got my redmi note 3 pro in the mail from aliexpress, bought it from the Shenzen Top One seller. So, should I flash a new rom or something? Seller said they flashed the global rom of miui but I heard there might be mal ware on it. Are there any roms out there y'all recommend? I heard of CM and AOSP, pretty new to this whole thing. Just want the fingerprint scanner to work, OTA would be nice but not essential. Also not sure how to request a bootloader unlock code and all that

>>54944401
>>54944324
Agreed iTunes is awful. I really liked my Nexus 5 when I switched from a 4S but I wasn't a fan of the 5X. Should I go for the LG G5 or the HTC 10? Both look good, I like the removable battery, better camera, on the G5 but the HTC 10 has better build, speakers and DAC

Threadly reminder that if you need a phone that's bigger than 5.5 inches then you should just buy a tablet

>>54944648
Why the fuck would you buy HTC 10 or LG G5 when you can buy Sony, Apple or Samsung? Just don't do it man. Go to tech store, try out some of them and then go to Samsung or Apple devices and try them. One of them are replaceable junk and one are well put devices (although more expensive) which is seen as soon as you take them in hand and feel them, see material they're made of, start some apps and try some things in settings and see how phone responds to what.

Don't fall for the marketing and what it says, not everything is how they claim it is. I wish people on this board would become aware of certain things. How can anyone seriously claim a phone like HTC 10 is better or equal quality to iPhone 6s or Samsung Galaxy S7?

>>54944717
Is that really not the case? Everywhere online says that, I could see it being true
the S7E looks good especially for battery (UK so would have Exynos not 820) and display

>>54944786
I could see what you're saying being true that is ****

>>54944786
Edge is a meme, just get regular S7.

>>54944401
>older devices still work
This is irrelevant most of the time, if you really want to save money, you should buy mid range smartphones every two yeard instead of an iphone every four to five years.
>better looking interface
This is true, material design is garbage, and the ui is fragmented, but you can't change the way an iphone's ui looks. At least on android you have klwp and nova launcher
>really fast, doesn't lag
This is true, but keep in mind that samsung=\=android. Samshit will always lag, no matter how capable the hardware becomes. Sony phones don't lag at all
>good aesthetics
The 5 and 5s looked good, but the camera bump totally ruins the 6's design. Although this is subjective
>stock apps don't suck like on android
Oh you mean apple maps, safari and itunes that doesn't even have an eq? There are good and garbage apps for both.
>you get bored of it easily and do more productive stuff
Why buy a flagship then? You're basically saying it's simple and gets the job done without being too interesting. You're throwing away money if you buy a $800 device for that.
>iBooks
I wouldn't know about that, could be good
>superior photo/video editing apps
There's pixlr on android, there isn't really a good video editor I know of though
>generally better apps
This is true, and new apps always come to iOS first, although not being able to pirate them feels like major cuckoldry.
>iTunes
I had the misfortune of using this nightmare for two years, never again
>app store/music
I don't understand what you mean.
>expensive
I don't think they're that much more expensive than android flaships, unless you choose to get cucked by Apple and buy a 128 gig variant.
>iphone plus costs more
The plus variant is the flagship
>not having a file manager and a torrent client is trivial
Wut
>poo iCloud app
You shouldn't use "le cloud" anyway.

>>54944812
I don't care for the screen, I care for the battery which is the best of most flagships.

Though it'd be a lot more fragile I imagine

>>54944717
What phone do you use btw?

>>54944835
>>54944401
My conclusion:
There are fewer and fewer reasons to buy an iphone, if you want something compact and simple that looks good, you have compact sony phones that are less expensive than iphones (and look better), and if you want a flagship with nice features, android smartphones are just better at this point. The iphone 6s still has a 1/3" camera sensor and an f/2.2 aperture. Apple's image processing is second to none, but it can only get you so far. Apple users also talk about iphones being convenient, yet they can't even drag and drop files.
Iphone users are holding onto the last straws of the iphone being tiers better than android phones 5 years ago. Android has closed the gap, and is leaving ios behind. And apple just refuses to do anything new and exciting, and pump out the same shit every year with very slight improvements.
Apple's unwillingness to adopt standards that are actually really useful is starting to show in their sales as well.

>buying a g5

why tho senpai?

>>54944877
agree with this, iphones have been stagnating while android improves, the 7 will have to really impress to change that

sidenote why do I have to do the photo captcha every time? shouldn't the amount of times I've done it correctly prove I'm not a robot

tfw you are a google bot

Any owners of the Redmi note 3 pro here?
If so how is the audio quality?

thanks

the only good thing about iphones is iOS and imessage

if google werent a bunch of fucking retards they would have ONE imessage equivalent for androids, and STICK to it...instead we get this fragmented bullshit, theres whatsapp, hangouts, and a bunch of other clones and nobody can agree on which one to use

if apple brought imessage to android i'd be so happy

Post screenshot of your about page with the MiUi version.

Thanks brosef, did a scan and found nothing. Do you recommend miui or something else if I wanna optimize battery life?

>>54945487
Just checked, http://en.miui.com/download-301.html
it is the correct version.

> Do you recommend miui or something else if I wanna optimize battery life?
Well that depends on how do you like MiUi itself. I think it has pretty aggressive battery optimizations. how long do you have it? do you like the interface? got the fingerprint reader working? if your'e fine with it I don't see a reason to switch, unless you want pure android exeperience or something.

I had a G3 and I loved it
