>apple users have imessage and enjoy free wifi texting and easily arranged group chats
>android users have over 9000 different message apps to choose from and thus most people just stick with SMS, also enjoy your confusing group chats


Why can't google make an iMessage equivalent and force EVERYBODY to use it as the stock app?

This is my one gripe with lagdroid, messaging really is a pain

>>54945014
Yes, looks like it's AT&T exclusive for now.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active review:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-active

>>54945044
Because carriers I imagine. Somehow they still have Google and OEMs bent over ripe for fucking. Apple on the other hand hold all the power

It shouldn't be too hard to convince people to get Whatsapp surely? Most people I know have it even with iPhones

>>54945044
WhatsApp is the standard. Also texts are free for most people.

>>54945105
>whatsapp is standard

Yeah, maybe in hueland or yurop. I've literally never seen anybody use whatsapp in the states.

>>54945044
If I was american I would use an iPhone. Whatever reason you think android is better is not worth not having iMessage.

reposting my question due to bump limit.

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

thanks

>>54945146
you're completely right

once i can get a contract upgrade im probably going to get the newest ishit device

literally everybody around here uses iMessage, its just not fair

>>54945044
Honestly who even uses iMessages. Everybody is on WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber and Telegram. I don't remember if iMessages have groups, random emoticons, voice recording? Don't be sorry.

>>54945167
>Everybody is on WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber and Telegram

>>54945173

Gee, how surprising.

>>54945251
This metric system argument is actually invalid as long as the US in fact remains the greatest nation of all. Its not like they're Liberia. Seriously, what is Liberia thinking?

>>54944988
Looks bretty neat, but who knows if it'll come to Europe

>>54945119
Because only Americans are dumb enough to still use outdated SMS technology

>>54945282
Liberia and the US are butt buddies, do you not have history lessons in Burgerland?

>The Republic of Liberia, beginning as a settlement of the American Colonization Society (ACS), declared its independence on July 26, 1847. The United States did not recognize Liberia's independence until during the American Civil War on February 5, 1862. Between January 7, 1822 and the American Civil War, more than 15,000 freed and free-born Black Americans from United States and 3,198 Afro-Caribbeans relocated to the settlement.[8] The Black American settlers carried their culture with them to Liberia. The Liberian constitution and flag were modeled after the United States. In January 3, 1848 Joseph Jenkins Roberts, a wealthy free-born Black American from Virginia who settled in Liberia, was elected as Liberia's first president after the people proclaimed independence.[8]

>Liberia is the only African republic to have self-proclaimed independence without gaining independence through revolt from any other nation, being Africa's first and oldest republic. Liberia maintained and kept its independence during the European colonial era. During World War II, Liberia supported the United States war efforts against Germany and in turn the United States invested in considerable infrastructure in Liberia to help its war effort, which also aided the country in modernizing and improving its major air transportation facilities

No one really added any other options or inputs.
But you're right i'll probably just go buy the SE when it's back in stock at verizon.

>>54945823
No, I fucking want one too
Look at those sexy slim bezels
What's the resolution on this thing anyway? Those icons look huge

>>54945836
1920x1080 over 5,5 inches

>>54945733
Its enormous relief to have such a small phone, but you will often wish for bigger. Still, putting it in pocket of any pants is a good thing. Dropping it and not ruining it is too. Those phones are little bricks. I dropped my 5s like 10 times on the concrete. Especially those little bricks having such power and battery to do absolutely everything and take great photos. And for that price? Hell yes. Actually now that I wrote this I ask myself is SE literally the best phone on the market right now? If that size is your thing, just go for it.

>>54945823
>did I fuck up?
>MTK P10

Yes.

>>54945489
Wait for the iPhone 7 which will surely #rekt all these Lagdroid uses here in /spg/.

>>54945733
Why not go something in between? 5in phones are relatively easy to use one handed, and don't have such a tiny screen either. Especially coming from the 6p, and 5in phone will feel much smaller

>>54945823
RN3P>>>>>P9000.

>>54945823
What do you think? I think you know the answer. Deluding yourself into thinking these phones can compare to those made by Sony, Samsung or Apple is really infantile. Have fun with lag, sudden battery drops, quirky screen at times, design you will soon find out its just not as good and something irks you about it, bad performance under various settings that are not the defaultest of default and variety of other issues. I really just want the best for you people and wasting your money on just about everything is not that. Sorry for being rude..

Is the K6000 premium phantomware?

This post almost make no sense. Not only that design of Sony and Apple phones is great, so is their hardware. Remember that you literally always....always...get what you pay for. Never forget this simple truth that is the cause of enormous butthurt here.

>>54945980

Sup /g/

I have Samsung S3 Mini, its nice but there was not a single android update for it. Is there any cheep chinkphone I could buy to replace my samsung?

Ok, I went from S5 to iPhone 6 awhile back, and the iPhone is trash. I want to go back to the Galaxy line, but I dont know which one to get. Should I go Galaxy S6 edge or s7 active/edge? One of my bigger concerns is camera quality

>>54946629
S7 has the best camera on any mobile phone right now. edge or not decide upon your size preference.

just got a Blackberry Passport, really nice feel to it and the OS works really great i just have one problem.

what the fuck is blackberry app world...
where are my google apps at, ive tried installing apks and shit and they either don't work or need google play services.

if anyone knows anything about APK's and what im probably doing wrong let me know as i feel pretty autistic rn

>>54947241
I think you're limited to the amazon app store unless there's third party roms

>>54947214
If you're talking about the US sure. Lots of use in the EU because of low iPhone usage. I'd just stick with iMessage, or I guess Facebook Messenger til someone has a solution if I ended up in the US
Also how is it spyware?

>>54945584

hmm

>>54947233
those are over $110

either bb world or amazon appstore (apps dont work that well also)

i love to bbos 10 but its pretty much dead

i really dont know what to get now, android is shit, ios is expensive and boring

>>54947241
Blackberry Passport doesn't run Android, it runs BlackBerry OS 10.3. it won't run any Android apps naively. it runs them via QNX emulation.

You need snap:

yeah i checked it out, there was some brazilian dude who managed to get marshmallow on there but other than that i havent seen anything, it looked pretty choppy too so i didnt fancy it.

>>54947297
>how is it spyware
Facebook bought whatsapp for 20 billion 2 years ago. It's a company that's whole business model is based around selling information to the highest bidder, do you really think they would drop that kind of money on something "just because"?

All you darn MEMERS talking shit about LG

Remember who makes the Nexus 5X

>>54947315
Yeah agree so much here, the BB OS is so good its just no one wants to develop for it, wouldnt even be hard would just be fiddling with the android APKs surely?

Hopefully when they release the android update for the newer phones i will get the option to change my passport over.

>>54947320
Been there, snaps developers gave up over a year ago now, there is nothing there and its all dead and broke. thanks for the help tho

Good question, I had to look that up.
It costs money in some countries, but nowhere else seems to have an answer. I suppose while it can't give the messages to Facebook, it can give user information? I'm not entirely sure.
I've given up mostly on online privacy; it's hard not to these days. Android phones actually record random snippets of conversation:

Goodbye Galaxy Note 2, my old friend. Should I bother reflashing to stock and then CM12.1 to resolve baseband issues and possibly repair or hack the proximity sensor since it is not working well during calls? Or should I just by a Xiaomeme 3?

Nexus 6P or S7 Edge?

Hey /spg/ is there any phone with the following:

- Good stereo speakers
- Decent custom roms support
- Good gaming performances (emulators, 3D etc)
- At least 73% screen-to-body ratio if on-screen navigation button

i've got an old motorolla photon q - are there any cases that have a flap that covers the screen? or am i stuck with normal ones? i still like this old thing

>>54951711
Depends on what you prefer m8

>>54952433
it jus werks

>>54952455
But whats different about it? It has some sort of wifi messaging included? I just don't know why people keep bringing it up today

>>54952433
It's great because it allows inter iOS communications using wifi if available. It's just a lot more easier to use and setup than any other since from the very moment you plug in your apple id it just sets up automatically.

>>54952397
Benchmarks don't mean shit in actual use

>>54952466
Smugness.

Its a buggy SMS app that can also send messages via tcpip but doesn't allow you to choose which. If someone ports their number from an iPhone to Android you will lose the ability to reply to them.

>>54952495
Is that it? I mean its cool and all but who does have unlimited texting these days? And what text apps require setup? I just pick the one that loooks the nicest download and im good 2 go

>>54952531
I guess, but for teenagers who can't afford data it's great because it won't use up all your data on sending dick pics and laughing emojis. If you have iOS you should try it atleast once

>>54952496
The S7 edge is better than the 6P is almost every way. Stock Android is a meme.

would definitely recommend the pro (3gb/32gb) if you can afford it. i'm still on whatever shit rom it was delivered with and often only have ~1gb ram free.

Opinions on OPO3.
Will it be worth it or will it be just another overpriced memephone?
I'm thinking about getting one on the pop-up event in Berlin.

>>54945898

Wrong. Chinky rom, retarded capacitive key layout, rear facing speaker, and large bezels make RN3P inferior. All it has going for it is the 4000mAH battery versus 3000 in the P9000. It is a meme after all.

>>54949773

Shitty Mali T760 GPU, low performance and high battery drain. T860 in the Helio P10 uses ~70% less power apparently.

Is the xiaomi mi5 worth it or are there better alternatives for a similar price?

>>54955039
It may be a defective unit, but I'm more concerned that they are not responding to any posts on their page, and aren't being communicative at all. look at the Ulefone's fb page in comparison, at least they answer every complaint from the pajeets.

jewbook.com/uleFoneMobile/

That's usually the main issue with the chink companies, the after purchase support is nearly non existent, and Oukitel doesn't seem to give a shit as well.

>>54955401
No such thing. at least $70 for a decent one (HT3 Pro etc.)

And a MUCH better processor, plenty of roms, and actual customer support.
Oh, it is also not made by fucking Elephone, a company with one of the worst reputations in the chinkphone world.

Yeah, mine does not. I have a z5 compact.
I used it in my car as navigation device while simultaneously playing music, it was downloading a huge map pack for my navigation software and I had all communication systems activated (GPS, mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM). The screen was at maximum brightness all the time and the sun shone through the windscreen on a hot, cloudless day directly onto the phone. In this condition I drove 400 miles. The car charged the phone through the cigarette lighter. When I arrived, I had 100 % battery left, the phone worked fine.
With the recent update that brings back stamina mode I think it's the perfect android device. Just waiting for a root now.

Any HTC Nexus 5 rumors, specifically battery size?

Also, DAE think that Google is specifically instructing the manufacturers to nerf the battery on the Nexus 5? 2300mah in the N5 and 2700mah in the 5x is beyond pitiful, especially considering that DIY people could cram a 3000mah battery into the N5 without loss of functionality. WTH?

Is the Nexus 5x worth the extra $150 over a zenfone 2?

also is the g4 a better option then both?

It's got worse zoom and daylight performance. But it's about preference, photos on the G5 looked more natural and on the S7 they were more saturated
