S7 Exynos pr 6P?

>>55223616
Got some cash to burn from my bday and feel like upgrading from my OPO.

One thing that pissed me off about OPO was the shitty camera, I'm wanting something to at least Iphone 6 standards.

Next preference is battery life, I want something that's going to easily last me a day and then some.

Unlockable boot loader preferred but not essential.

Budget is ~$500aud

>>55223834
The 6P, you'll save a bunch of money, and have a more consistent experience. The 6P is what you want your S7 to be after trying to disable all the bloat. And the battery life is GOAT.

>>55223915
You seriously think the 6P has better battery life than S7 Exynos?? And the 810 gives the exact opposite of a "consistent experience".

>>55223834
S7 by far. better SoC, battery, waterproof, SD, and perfectly sized. 6P=SD Housefire, oversized, no SD.

Looking for a new phone. I'm in Canada using Wind. Minimal bloat and good UI is a must, but other than that i don't care too much. $400-500 but I don't mind going higher.

No.

>>55224238
No unlockable boot loader. As expensive as the s7 here is Aus.

In the bin that goes.

I have to give credit to Samsung for having the best auto brightness implementation on Android. A Kenobi device on my other hand is too dim with auto brightness enabled outside and too bright inside, plus the brightness level seems to constantly change and is bothersome.

Only real downside is it only works with Boost Mobile so check Sprint coverage first.

I own one so AMA I guess.

R.I.P. in peace Moto G

>>55224275
I think it will be better than the S7, especially the sound quality either with the stereo speakers or through good in-ears.

Build quality will be better than the S7, it's literally a brick.

But I will wait for several reviews.

Maybe some people will find an exploit to enable you rooting this device.

>>55224349
I want it to be as good as the marketing is making it sound, but I'm going to be let down by a shitty UI that can't be rooted and I'm not paying $800 for that.

Moto X Pure or Droid Turbo 2?

>Moto x pure for $240

>>55223943
My experience has been nothing but consistent, my 6p never gets hot. I had an S6 and that thing was a hotplate 80% of the time. I don't see the point of non Nexus phones, you spend half of your time trying to disable all the shit that runs in the background. I own a Nexus because I know that when I put it on my nightstand before I go to sleep, I will have (within 4%) the same battery left when I wake up. You just can't do that with a skinned phone.

>>55224153
The 6P has no heat issues because it never pushes the 810 hard enough for it to get hot. Skinned phones with the 810 has the heat issue because of all the crap on them.

>>55224673
>>55224702
6P throttles before it even gets physically hot, by the time it's under any real strain it's down below 600MHz

I'm trying to find a case that I like for my S6, but most of the ones I see don't have a screen protector and seem to be little more than glorified backplates.

The case I had for my S2 had an integrated screen protector (not one you had to put on yourself like a sticker); is there something like that for my S6? Or have we gotten to the point where such isn't really necessary anymore?

The S2 case:

What's the best/minimum resolution for phone vr

>>55225333
4k

Any phones that I could replace my Nexus 6P on the horizon? I want something the same size at least.

>>55225293
>>55225245
All I need now is to make sure it's compatible with the international unlocked S6 I'm getting.

I'm pretty ignorant about all this, but I know in the S2 days each carrier had their own version with slightly different button placement which would affect which case you could get.

I don't see anywhere on this case what version it's for. Has the S6 embraced universal case compatibility or...?

>>55225360
this. Sadly only the Sow Knee See 5 has a 4K screen right now.

>>55225398

BH has the Moto x pure significantly marked down (16gb for 240, 64gb for 320) and it comes with a microsd card. I'm really tempted to dump my M9 for it (my battery is shit). I've heard that Moto has a ton of QC issues with them and that support is abysmal. What do you guys think?

>>55225360

>>55225452
Moto X pure has shit performance. Only 4 A53 cores @ 1.44 GHz and 2 A57 cores @ 1.8 GHz.

You will most likely have trouble playing even 720p 10-bit HEVC or VP9 videos which do not have HW decoding support as far as I know.

>>55224131
>>55225559

It's the same price on BH and you can probably avoid tax. Plus there's a free sd card too.

>>55225551
It will especially as more stuff gets encoded in 10-bit HEVC.

>>55223834
S7 has a more efficient screen, better battery SD card slot.

I't be smarter to get a 4GB RAM zenfone 2 imho. Screen is 1080p but has a quad-core 2.3 x86 atom processor slightly faster than the quad-core krait 400 ARM processor on the Note 3.

But it is. iPhones are full of backdoors.

You see it's not the FBI agents you have to worry about, it's the hackers who know about these backdoors.

Fact is if apple can't protect you from a bunch of federal cucks who can barely use internet explorer then they sure as hell can't protect you from that hacker who could be 10X as knowledgeable and skilled as a them.

You now regret buying Samsung, suck it up and live with the bloat and watch porn on a high quality screen, then kind of don't regret it as much because the hardware is good, but a year or two down the road software regret kicks back in because they probably won't update it ever again.

>>55226936
I'm not completely sure. I'm trying to figure out what phone to buy. My budget is around $200 so if you have any suggestions that would be helpful.

AT&T networks are fucking dogshit. Bad coverage and really bad service when they do have coverage in most places.

Maybe you got lucky but as a general rule people should avoid AT&T and their carriers at all costs. They somehow manage to suck more than Sprint networks which is an impressive feat desu.

>literally carcinogenic
Not really. The danger is for workers handling microwave popcorn who don't wear proper safety equipment. For the average joe the increased risk of developing cancer from eating microwaved popcorn isn't really that significant.

>"Generally speaking, even if you don't let your popcorn cool before you open the bag, you're not likely to suffer ill health effects from eating reasonable quantities of microwave popcorn. The studies that have demonstrated harm as a result of chemical exposure have been in cases of factory workers who are exposed to much larger quantities of the chemicals over a much longer period than you would be, preparing and consuming microwave popcorn at home."

I remember being a kid when someone told me they were going to upgrade their 3310. I literally thought you could replace the screen/add a camera/make it faster ect.

Are there any mods you can do to modern phones like spaw the camera out for a better one, upgrade the screen, upgrade the speakers?

It all depends on your hand size and how you use your phone. I'm 6 feet tall (1.8m) with hands to match and although I used a Note 2 for 2 years, I definitely prefer my Z3 Compact because I often text with one hand.

Does gearbest ship chinkshit with the stock OS or is it one of these bloated custom OS garbage?

S7 gets constant praise and supports Gear VR. Daydream will get more apps for sure (minus a few exclusives) and supports motion controls. The Nexus 6P is close to Daydream certification but the 810 throttles too hard, plus it's too similar to the Nexus 6 to warrant an upgrade. I would wait for fall phone launches.

Does anyone have any experience with those "PLATINUM BATTERY" batteries on ebay which are like 1000 mAh bigger on eBay?

Poorfagerino here. My Galaxy S2 battery is dying, I'm thinking of buying a "new" used phone instead of buying a battery. Something from 2013/2014. Most important for me is long battery life, thinking of an LG G2. Any suggestions?

>>55229589

if in in Asia/Europe, get a chink with huge battery ala K6000 Pro/Ulefone Power. If in US, get a G4/G3 with zerolemon battery.

Redmi 3/3s Pro is another option as well if you want a smaller phone with very good battery life. Zenfone max as well.

Flash global rom/CM13.

The battery percentage on my Droid Turbo has been recently going down very quickly. Roughly 10% in 8 minutes. This had never occurred when I first bought it but 6 months in, it's starting to happen.

It also goes down quickly in general.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

I flashed CM13 on my note 2 from it's stock ROM and it's now getting much worse battery life compared to how it was, on touchwiz, i'd get about 6hr SOT, now I'm barely breaking 4 and it's running warmer too.
What gives? Anything I can do to remedy this?

Anyone have an iPhone SE? Thinking about getting one to replace my big dumb Nexus 6 but I'm worried I might miss the big screen, as much as nuisance it can be most of the time.

>>55229730
>Something under 100$
Also, Doogee T6 is $98 and has a huge 6250 mAh battery. not a powerhouse but probably enough for these uses you listed. check http://willmyphonework.net/ to see if it's compatible though.

Idk if this is the right place to ask this but I finally damaged my 2 and a half year old Nexus 5 after it fell out of my shirt pocket and onto a concrete floor.

A piece of glass chipped off of one of the corners and there are two pretty short hairline cracks coming off of that spot, going through the very top and right edge of the display, and ending at the top and right bezels.
I can't even see them unless I look at it at the right angle.

My question is do I have to worry about the damage getting worse on its own? I wouldn't think so since the two cracks have already spread to their fullest extent, but then again I've never cracked a phone screen before.

Anons on /csg/ reported higher benchmark scores and longer battery life on CM13. not surprising because MiUi is a CPU+RAM hog.

Do you get used/not notice the edge after while? Is it ever a nuisance? Effect movie watching? Don't care about the edge meme but want the bigger screen and battery over the regular S7. I don't it to bother me down the road.

So mad because it's true. Do you really have that image saved in your computer for moments like this?

LG g2 owner here, thinking about getting a mi max. Seems like the performance will be pretty good (snapdragon 650 seems equal to 808 and 652 close to 810, right?), so not worried about that.

I'm only worried about the screen though. Are they as good in terms of contrast, backlight bleed, brightness etc as most high-end non chink phones?

Am I missing other interesting huge phones? I was interested in the mate 8, but it is still like 550 euros for a chinkphone with worse software than actual chinkphones (xiaomi seems pretty good at giving you recent android versions, right?)

Ugh, I was REALLY looking forward to buying a OnePlus X 2, but turns out OPO isn't making another small phone.

What's my next best option? I have a OnePlus One and I'm going to use it probably until it dies, which may be never, but if I had to upgrade this year what's the best alternative to the non-existent X 2?

>>55230827

I got one to replace my OPO. I like it a lot. It's been quite a few years since I had a phone I could just slide into my pocket. The smaller screen does take some getting used to, and iOS is annoyingly restrictive compared to Android. If you need a new phone now, it's not a bad choice. But if OnePlus releases a new X with most of the 3's guts, I'll probably switch again.

Messed up screen - they won't be able to 'upgrade' a screen per updates they only can increase accuracy a bit - small battery and no microSD with about nexus tier software support (I'd like to use PA again) and good 'performance' - which needs to be patched too... So not that good software though and physical limited storage. Wouldn't get it senpai. I'd say at least wait to see what battery will be in the new nexus line-up.

Hey there friend, seeing as you've used the "projecting" meme you might want to check out https://www.reddit.com as you're most likely to find other quick witted individuals like yourself on this site.
See you around, and good luck in the field of upvotes :)

Well I'm just glad it's not a mediatek soc. I know oppo hasn't used it in the find series, but you never know with these chink companies. Also if it's clocked higher I assume it's a better batch of silicone which is always nice.

do you think it matters?

Trying to replace my S3 which is on life support

> Samsung has locked bootloader and highest price
> OP3 has no microsd and worse battery than RN3P
> Nexus has no microsd and non-replaceable bad battery
> LG G5 or V10, I don't see how they're worth an extra $250 over the G4
> M9 has bad non-replaceable battery

I could see getting maybe an LG G4 or a RN3P but I'd prefer to have LTE in the US (AT&T).

Any suggestions?

Dunno as long it doesn't has 5 or 6k mAh a 4k screen is stupid.

>shit build quality
>bootloop

>>55232594
If it doesn't support LTE for your provider, I guess HSPA+ is better than just HSPA. But man, why the fuck would you buy a phone that won't support your provider's bands?

>>55232647
So I have no options

I've been trying to hold on to my S3 for as long as possible but it's getting harder and harder everyday

>>55232626
HTC 10 if you have the shekels for a s7. It's the one flawless flagship if you don't need the toppest notch tier camera.
Both things you consider are Scylla and Charybdis. G4 aka the bootloop lottery or chinkshit aka no warranty mediocre build utter shit camera and shady software.

>RN3P
no band support
>add $150
>OP2
heat and throttling, battery
>add $100
>OP3
battery, screen, dash charge is OxygenOS only
>add $50
>axon 7
spending $450 on chinkshit, locked bootloader forever

WHAT THE FUCK
when i got my moto x, it was hard to choose because the options were good
now it's hard to choose because nothing is good

>>55232680
How is the HTC 10 battery? I'd feel terrible dropping $700 on a phone with a 3000mah non-replaceable battery with average life.

But then again like you said, if I only spend $200-300 and get a piece of shit, that's not really any better.

>>55232763
is the coverage on the rn3p too bad in the states to make it worth the price?

>>55232801
depending on your carrier, some anon on T-Mobile was able to get 4G, but that was probably an area with one of their secondary bands

>>55232651
well maybe I will change providers

>>55232793
All phones nowadays have shit battery imo I just got a powerbank to bridge this period until more battery tank phones are available, or maybe a v10 sequel with one of these extended batteries..
it's understandable that you hesitate.

I put a zerolemon in my GS3 for the last year which was practically as good as a new phone. Which is why I want to have that option with the next device I get...
I guess I just have to try to wait it out another year...

>incredibly pointless point. The same money grabbing devs also develop on android. Give me one money grabbing app that only exists on iOS lil nigga
>youre exactly right. But your riced up phone probably looks like shit compared to my iPhone designed by people who've actually studied ux design. It's just a phone, not some pride and joy house
>Swipe from the left to go back, double tap home to switch apps, home to go home. It's called utilisation, you don't need a button for each thing, you have a touch screen and a button that's all.

V10 is still 500-700 bucks though. And for some reason reviews say the battery life is shit even though its 3000mah, so if I get a new battery that's another $40-60.

Which device are you using now?

>>55233014
i love this image

how can I make webms on my non rooted gala2 s4

>>55233058
Note 4 with a zero lemon battery or just keep a spare sitting around? Should be able to pick up a used one pretty cheap.

>>55232286
Basically yes.
