Who suicide here?

I live in the US and miss flip phones. Is there an Android flip phone worth using or do I need to go back to dumb phones for a while?

Hot news lads.

>>55235540
I know Samsung has released a few Android flip phones in Asian countries over the past few years but they are pretty expensive and probably don't even work in North America

Seriously, is there any device out there soon that can even be compared to the Apple iPhone 7 Pro?

200$ too high price tag.

The chink phone guide is out of date it seems.. I really need an upgrade from my freebie prime core. I live in the US and I currently use MetroPCS.

What's in the 150-200$ range that uses microSD, has a decent battery, is no bigger than 5in screen, OK camera and is abit snappy for common tasks? I'm not picky about games but I wouldn't mind playing pokemon GO on it. Not afraid of needing to tinker with it or flash a rom on it or whatever. Suggestions?

>>55236212
Factory reset that shit, don't buy a new phone just because it's doing this.

Have you downloaded any files recently (or taken photos?).

Thinking about going for the HTC 10. What are the downsides of it?

~130 to buy phone, but only 35 a month

I want to root the phone, but am ignorant. I know there is secretly a linux based os hiding under all the shit. Do I get to pick a new OS for the phone? How do I still conduct 'on cell network' things like calls, or is it not that complicated? I just fear that without the drivers on how to use the cell network, it won't work? I'm super ignorant though.

What do you guys think of the Xperia XA? I don't care about instilling custom roms/rooting or playing games so the cpu doesn't bother me. Most chink phones don't have the LTE bands for my area (ATT) and the xperia checks off all the right boxes such as 5", sd card slot, minimal bloat, nice design. Apparently it will be for about $279

What exactly does it do better than the Apollo Lite?

http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/vernee-apollo,xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro

Serious question, because I always hear about the Redmi Note 3. I kinda want the Apollo but there must be some downsides to it I'm not seeing. I mainly want a good cam and a 1080p screen.

>>55238259
X20 has a faster CPU but GPU on the SD650 is better if your'e gaymin. bigger battery and plenty of roms as well on the RN3P.

Apollo is good but Vernee is a new chink company with no record or reputation. it probably won't have roms either so your'e stuck with their OS skin as well.

Also. I don't think it's actually out yet, so I'd wait for reviews first if I were you.

>>55238313
Alright, that makes sense. I'd like to be able to install custom roms, so I guess I'll wait and see.

I actually got my redmi Note 3(snapdragon) a week ago. So ask me about the phone if you have questions

>>55239333
How's the actual battery life? Is the GPS okay, since it's an issue with several Redmi phones? Does the glass look fragile?

Galaxy Note 7 or Nexus 6 2016?

>>55239408
Battery is good. I can use the phone atleast for 2 days witgouth charging with ~8hours on screen time.
I thing the gps is perfect. It's very precisely
Screen is ok I think. Looks solid. My Model came with a Tempered Glass.

Anybody moved from 5" to 5.5" lately? Is it a drastic change?

Pulling my hair out trying to decide between the Redmi 3 Pro and the Redmi Note 3 Pro to replace my Nexus 5. Don't want to go bigger but the Note seems to have a pretty major performance advantage and I can get both for exactly the same price.

>>55239498
Any heating issues? How's the touchscreen? I remember the Redmi3 having a touchscreen that gets crazy as soon as it's a little bit humid

>>55239535
Oh wait that's for the 2GB Note, 3GB is a bit more. Anyway nothing deal-breaking, question still stands.

>>55239256
I don't think that this will be permanently due to the brexit.
The problem is that EU was doomed right from the start. Look at greece, look at the south of Europe.
Politicians fucked up for good. Instead of creating that massive pile of shit that the EU is, they should have focused on trade only.

Are you fucking stupid? They literally moved the power button to the bottom of the right side of the phone, where you have to move the phone akwardly with one hand to press if it you're already holding the phone up like you normally would. There's absolutely no fucking way at all that it would be considered "right where your thumb can reach" no matter how you put it, UNLESS you're a dumbfuck shill.

Fuck off Sony.

This. I am with them in term of migrants. EU should force countries to take refugees. They should have stuck with the trade union. Now they played the migrants hate card to stir shit up.

In terms of migrants, you cannot force a country to take in people, that's against the law and altering the law would be palpatine levels of anti-democracy and the first step to the EU Empire.
As far as migrants go.. fuck them, send them to hell. Most of them come here because of "lol Mrs. Merkel invited me u better treat me good, kuffar".

Touchwiz appears to be trimmed down and the themes help get rid of some of its ugly color schemes. Still not sure if I will miss AOSP android, wondering if anyone else made a similar transition?

>>55244237
Nigga, just google which bands your carrier uses and check if they match ones this phone can operate on.

Also on performance - Snapdragon 650 scores slightly higher in benchmarks, than 808

This is sarcasm right?

>>55244419
I went from Nexus 5 and 6p to the S7 edge. Touch wiz sucks in comparison to stock, especially the N beta which had much better split screen support. Touch Wiz's scrolling is not as responsive as stock. Overall performance is less smooth. That said, marshmallow touch wiz is much less intrusive than previous versions, and I think it's doable. The default interface is ugly, but you can fix it. Download Nova launcher and the Google keyboard. Apple a material design theme from the Samsung theme store. Use good lock, change it to a neutral color scheme, and turn off the optional features to make the notification panel near stock like in appearance.

Overall I am satisfied with using the S7 for now because of the great screen and camera, but I still plan in selling it when the 2016 Nexus comes out. My time spent on the N beta was the best software experience I've ever had on a phone and I can't wait to go back. The s7 won't get N until next spring.

If you are deeply tied to stock Android and don't appreciate any oem modifications, I'd recommend waiting until the next Nexus. The 6p is still as good phone, but it's overpriced for using such a shitty chip.

>>55244667
Zenfones have shitty update support. I wouldn't be surprised if the ZF3 never gets N. I haven't used a zenfones so I can't comment on how good the software is but I've heard it sucks. If you can wait, I would recommend doing that.

>>55244677
By September the next Nexus will be out/almost be out so you can see whether you'd prefer it over the S7, but I imagine the S7 will still be one of the best phones by then as long as touch wiz doesn't bother you.

So, sub-5" screen phones that aren't made by Apple.

What out there is worth looking at aside from the Xperia Compact line? I don't need flagship-tier specs - a 720p screen and decent processor/RAM are really all I need. The Redmi 2 Prime looks like a good candidate, but is there a version which would have everything working on Sprint? (I'm using Ting, which mostly works through Sprint, and a bit through T-mobile.)

>>55245155
those are the supposed leaked specs for the smaller Nexus (Sailfin).. Marlin is the larger one which will presumably be higher spec

>>55244986

Is it worth it to upgrade from a nexus 6 to One Plus 3 or a Nexus 6p?

>>55246157
To OnePlus 3, sure. Nexus 6p, eeeh

>>55245686

Samsung moving in the right direction with the s7 edge, Note 7 supposed to have a 4000 mah battery so I imagine some thinned will be sacrificed

>>55246292
Lol the Nexus 6p is a better phone in nearly every aspect.

OP3 shills are easily the most transparent shills on this board

>>55244715
Profit margins.
The market is so saturated that OEMs have to slash production cost while also charging the same or more in order to make s profit

>>55245358
Not really. They both use the 820 (assuming America) and the op3 isn't a bloated mess.

>>55246381
I wouldn't use a 6p if someone gave me it for free.
It's too big and slow and the battery life is terrible.

>>55246453
>can't use dashcharge(tm) on custom roms

>>55246098
You wouldn't go smaller even though you can't hold it? You're an idiot

>>55246466
You don't have to custom ROM if you don't want to. It's easily rooted. The Samsung 820, you can't do anything with.

Did I fuck up.
My moto x has an issue with making calls, but I didn't want the HTC 10 because it's over priced and the S7 isn't rootable and I've heard is very fragile, so Im getting a used S5 to hold me over until the Axon 7 is released in the US or until the Nexus stuff is released.
Is buying used usually a dumb idea?

>>55246519
Good point but I'd wait until those chinks push out an update, still stupid to limit a hardware feature to software though

>>55246586
I guess 1+ has been good in the past with pushing quick OTAs. The anand review mentioned they fixed the OP2 camera pretty quickly.
Granted I think they're the only Chinese oem that really does that though.

What's the best way to make an app that becomes really popular?

There are other sizes than 4.5" and 5.5", you know. Like, 9 of them.

If you want a small phone, go for Xperia Z3 Compact. Or iPhone SE if you're gay.

>chink phones with 3GB RAM, 1080p screens, CPUs more powerful than the Snapdragon 808 and 32GB of RAM with MicroSD for the same price the Moto G4 has
Not at all.

LG G4, Xperia Z3 or Nexus 5X?
I want a good phone but I don't want to spend too much.

>>55251683
If you want waterproof phone at all costs, get Z3.
If you want clean Android with gast updates, and a fingerprint scanner, but at the cost of everything else, get 5X.
G4 in every other case.

>>55251731
Is the G4 battery decent?
I heard the G3 had issues with it.

I do almost zero gaming on my phone, will the SD810 on the 6p really be an issue?

Currently have a Nexus 6 that is on its last leg, need to get something new in the next couple weeks.

6P, S7 edge, and 6s+ are my contenders.

S7 edge might be my choice but the edge meme seems fucking annoying and I think it will really bother me long term.

6S+ is intriguing because I miss the "just werks" and superior app design on iOS, but I hate the fruity aesthetics of iOS and I am pretty heavily in the Google ecosystem aka botnet.

Then there's the 6p which seems like a logical upgrade from my Nexus 6, but everywhere i go on /g/ I see nothing but hate for the sd810.

Will there ever be a phone that checks nearly all the right boxes???

>>55251956
Why not the LG G5.

>>55251985
I dunno, doesn't really interest me, also I know it's a totally different phone but I had an lg g3 for a few months and it was the worst smartphone I ever owned, hated everything about it...kinda turned me off from LG.

whats a nice phone with the customization (in terms of user-made roms and kernels) that the galaxy s2 had, but also having nice components (big battery and ips screen, ram 2gb is enough)
i kinda need a phone and the only one that tries to fit my needs is the moto g 3rd gen but im not sure on the custom rom parts

>>55252018
You shouldn't get the G5, it has problems with build quality and shit.

My ancient S2 has finally gotten stuck in boot loop hell, and the guide I was using (http://thedroidguy.com/2015/08/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-s2-thats-stuck-in-boot-screen-other-related-problems-110725) appears to show that the only option left is a factory reset.

Not wanting to do that, and figuring I've had it for a good long while anyway, I just got a new phone.

Is it possible at all to get the files and data off the S2 if it's stuck in a boot loop?

My Note 5 keeps restarting on its own (error says "Android is not Seandroid Enforcing) and the battery life is absolute horseshit.

There is literally no Android device that isn't a pile of shit, that costs that much, that will also work on Verizon.

>>55251956
No, unfortunately there won't be.

The 6p is a downgrade from the 6 honestly. They're going to be releasing their new 5.5+ model in around November and if you prefer huge phones Samsung is releasing the updated Note relatively soon. Those always seem to come with the newest generation hardware too.

>>55252689
It's just regular home insurance, since this happened at home, so it's covered by it

>>55252649
Why do you say the 6p is a downgrade?

Honestly the S7 edge would be my choice if it weren't for the damn edge meme making it fragile and the accidental touches. Regular s7 is just too small for my personal taste and I want best possible battery life.

I like my Nexus 6 for the most part, but after rooting and flashing 100s of Roms the performance has really degraded lately and lags alot...not interested in flashing Roms anymore so even if I got the 6p it would remain stock.

>>55252722
No sd, really bad battery life, and anything relatively CPU intensive will cause overheating and lag, it also has last year's hardware, which doesn't make sense if you want the latest and greatest.
It uses emmc, so read/write is slower than everything coming out now, I also doubt the amoled is current gen, but I haven't seen any tests on it

>>55252722
I thought reg s7 would be too small too after always using 5.5+ phones but I prefer it now. Battery life is best I've ever seen.
