/spg/ - Smartphone General

Upgrading phone today or tomorrow, budget is not a concern.

Shortlist: S7, S7 Edge, HTC 10, Moto Z

Which phone would be best for a 9-5 office jobber and heavy drinking w/buddies on the weekends?

>dual edge display on the note7
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i just wanted a note edge 2 with a single edged display.
i wanted a tool for daily use not a fucking design meme

>Android N naming contest was just a marketing stunt, Nougat was the predetermined winner.
Called it.

>>55340096
Regular S7. Edge is a meme. HTC if you hate touchwizz.

Anyone want want some weeb /spg/ OP images to be made? I got some moments to spare making them; no Maki though

>>55340096
S7 Edgy, Xperia Z5 or better yet wait to get that S7 Active. Since you said heavy drinking all these phones are waterproof, but the Active is better since it can survive some smashes and hits.

S7 isn't a bad choice but the battery life is a lot less than the Edge.

OP here. sure, why not. I've been recycling old images from the archive so far. bear in mind that /spg/ is quite slow general. thanks for the effort.

>>55340096
Edge has better screen and battery life

What's the general opinion on Oneplus 3? I heard good things about it.

>>55340464
J5.

would it be worth to upgrade from first gen moto g to Homtom HT7 Pro?

>>55340794
Yes. also consider the Doogee X5 Max Pro. it's around the same price but with updated specs. smaller screen though.

Can I deebloat it? Like removing Google apps, yahoo mobile splash screen and so on?

So is this $20 phone just done? I've done a factory reset and there's still this pop up on it, I have a back up to use, so no major issue there, but I'd still prefer to save it if possible

>>55341010
They have very similar specs, but Blu phones have American carrier compatibility, and the chinks mostly don't. Vernee Thor and Leagoo Elite 5 are also good options at $100. check which ones work on your network..

Had windows phone for 2 years.
Only issue was no snapchat for nudes-getting

Switch to iPhone for a month, screen shattered cause I dropped it off my couch onto my carpet.

Been with android for a year, phone is slowest phone I've ever had and batter dies 5-6 hours before bedtime regardless of how much I use it and app load time are retardedly slow.

Gonna miss snapchat but I'm going back to Windows phone because they are all around better than the competition in every way except for a couple of the apps.

Is Google's own 'pixel' phone a real thing?

The only sauce I could find was a Daily Telegraph article saying that in addition to the Nexus line there would be a Google made phone this year.

Here's some smartphone advice...every fucking one of them is exactly the same.

I'm eyeing LG G2 from aliexpress. Judging from youtube it's still holds up. Good/bad idea?

I flashed cm13 onto my note 2 and I noticed that the screen is really over saturated and dim, I went to livedisplay and turned down the saturation, but now things are even dimer.
Outdoor mode makes the brightness a bit better, but again, outdoor mode really overblows the colors and make it hard to look at. Is there a fix for this or something?

Important question: does anyone here actually have the OP3?
If so, is the shit-tier pentile display noticeable in real life usage, is the audio output via 3.5 good and how long does the battery last?
Reviews and benchmarks are one thing, but i'd like some real life experience, too.

I am deciding based on how life-proof the phones are; and have no accurate answers for it.

I am mostly concerned on its ability to handle heat, humidity, and occasional splashes.

By the way when you're asking please be more specific. 'durr which phone' will get a lot less replies than this one >>55343097

Which on that note, you should really buy dedicated waterproof phones. S5 is real cheap nowadays, or the Xperia Z3 if you're looking for something near stock.

Verdict on the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge?

>

"Our margins have always been thin, and our expenses are mainly in USD. This being the case, sudden drops such as the one that the Pound has recently experienced could have a direct impact on our prices," OnePlus explained. "We're telling you this now because we don't want you to be blindsided. If you're thinking of buying, we recommend doing so sooner rather than later."

>>55343032
It's just a meme. Those too retarded to buy a entry-level DSLR for ~$300 will buy a Sony Z4/Z5 phone for the camera it has. Then they set the ISO, exposure and whatnot to get the best photo they can. Then those brain dead pay $1000 for an iPhone because they think it has a good camera, which you can't even control the ISO on.

>>55343097
Get the S7
It's the only one I've seen survive after being dunked inside a recently boiled water

>>55342513
Looks like it. I seriously hope you're not planning to use the belt clip, though.

s7 looks good, but it's so fucking expensive. Maybe we will see a decent drop in price on the prime monday of amazon

I like my wireless charger but the white ring is slightly sticky. It's nothing I did since I just got it new today; rather I think it has to do with the material it's made of.

Anyway,how should I clean it? I carried it in my pocket and there's some dust/lint already sticking to it.

New version w two note variants and the correct op3 specs

HTC One M9 for $175 or a Zenfone 2 Deluxe for $240?

what's the best and cheapest 2GB ram smartphone /g/? I don't care about resolution and storage and all that bullshit lel

So I just got myself a new HTC 10 because my m7 kicked the bucket. After putting my music on it there's only 2 GB storage left so I salvaged an SD card from an older phone and prepared to pop it in and format it as internal storage.

Now, if I do that and fill that up aswell and decide to upgrade to a larger SD card later on, how will I be able to move the files from the old SD card to the new one? Can I un-format it, move them to my computer, replace the SD card, then move them back from the computer and finally format it as internat storage again?

I'd just get a 200 GB card right away, but by the time I'd actually need the space they will only cost half what they do now.

>>55344677
Literally the 2 shittiest phones you could come up with.

>>55344658
HTC 10 is 4GB unless it's a regional thing

>>55343600

Though you could make due with a moto e, spending money for this one will keep your android experience relatively lag-free with 2GB of RAM. Don't blame android though, blame the web devs (if you can call them that) stuffing 100+MB worth of ads and javascript in a single fucking webpage.

Regarding the amazon phone with ads.. Could I not root it and slap on a rom? Removes the shilling.

I want to replace my S6 as it turns out i'm in need for a bigger screen. Possible candidates would be s6 edge plus/note5/6p.
General use includes tons of emails and spreadsheets, heavy browsing and i need band 20 (telecomunication engineer, need it for speedtesting).
Any recommendation other than the above is welcomed

Right well the M9 was a complete failure, and no one should buy a SD810 phone nowadays. the Zenfone is bloated with shit and has a deprecated Intel SoC. at least wait for the ZenFone 3.

What's the cheapest option for a replacement smart phone on T-Mobile? Can I just get a prepaid phone and plug a post paid sim into it.

I personally use a Note 4, but one of the people on my plan is a tard and broke his phone. I don't want to spend very much getting him a replacement that will probably end up broken again in 6 months anyway.

>>55344709
You're right, it's 4GB worldwide. 3GB is enough tho

>>55344743
Europe: 800 / 1800 / 2600MHz
NA: 700 / 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900MHz

(900 and 2100MHz are 3G only)
Some providers use all, some only one or two.

The Mi5 supports 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz.

So Europe one band, and NA two. It isn't perfect, but the 1800 band is the most reliable.

Hmm, check out the moto g then. It's more expensive but has an unlocked sim tray. If that's too much then you're gonna have gamble your money with unknown chink brands or settle for a 1GB RAM moto e.

>>55344924
>So Europe one band, and NA two. It isn't perfect, but the 1800 band is the most reliable.

source for this info? the internet has a lot of conflicting information on this device and i just want to know if it's gonna work for me. it's literally the perfect device for what i want it for, and i'd rather get this over a oneplus 3 if i can help it.

>>55344924
Because for some reason the America version is only 32GB (instead of 64) and doesn't come with the bomb ass headphones.

>>55344878
From what I tried it's pretty average, nowhere near as good as the previous HTC flagships. They're nice and loud up to 70%, above sounds like shit without getting louder. It also lacks a music player, which is kinda sad because the normal stock HTC music player is detected as "riskware", but whatever. AirPlay is quite nice to have.

My headphones are some cheap 10 bucks in-ears, the stock ones are still in the box. I don't listen to music much when on the move, the stereo in my car and at home are a lot better.

well as it turns out, tmobile is completely fucked when it comes to the mi5 regardless of model. maybe next time.

I'm coming from a lg v10, I don't like it's size. too big. I want something a tad smaller. and faster. and, removable battery is a bonus, but not necessarily.

Not T-Mobile's fault that most chinkphones exclude the majority of LTE/3G bands

>>55345134
Why the fuck would you buy a phone at the provider? It's a $320 phone. Buy it from some chinkstore and get a Sim Only Plan for $13/month

>>55345201
German and UK friend are both on T-Mobile with Mi5 (One Pro, one regular) and got great connections in the properly covered areas.

>>55345212
>Not T-Mobile's fault that most chinkphones exclude the majority of LTE/3G bands

If anything, it's Americas fault for using weird af frequencies that no one else in the world uses. they just have to be different, like still using Imperial units instead of Metric.

>>55345055
A 720p display on 5.5" screen is almost 300 PPI. Unless you look at your phone 1mm away you won't be able to count pixels.

That's not the point though, this is a budget phone. It's not meant to have the best specs/displays just best value for that year.

Don't worry though by ~2020 we'll probably see 1440p display, 4GB RAM phones for under $100. Aplel will probably still be using 640p displays lmao.

>>55345285

Is 2GB of RAM enough to have?

>>55345293
1. PPI of the HT7 display is 267 which is horrible for a 5.5" screen.
2. Get your eyes checked.

>>55345411
Yes

>>55345411
only on iPhone

>>55345322
>>55345344
Mi Max ~$250

Mi4c ~$180

Meizu M3 Note ~$180

Le 2 X620 ~$160

The Redmeme is better then all of them, and it works on-mobile so why not though?

>>55345245
They're both using 4G LTE-Advanced.

4G-LTEA EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
4G-LTEA NA: 700/800/1700/1800/1900 MHz

3G-LTE EU/NA: 800/900/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz

If there is no 4G connection, it will fall back to 3.9G-LTE on the 900MHz band. This usually happens whenever they are on the outskirts of the city, in crowded buildings or away from the cities.

>>55345411
Oh boy, I still remember getting my first PC that measured RAM in GB instead of MB, those were the days. Go figure.

>>55345442
I looked at the X620, but the lack of a headphone jack is killer.
Also from everything I've seen the other three don't work past like 1 3g band in the US.

>>55345448
ugh i don't fucking understand why everywhere says that it won't work with tmobile then. what the fuck bro? i don't know who to believe and the mi5 pro is going for over 500 bucks at the moment. i don't want to waste that kind of money or time for something that i'm just gonna have trouble getting to work properly.

do motorola phones count as chinkshit now?

>>55345476

>>55345478
Do you live in a city with proper 4G coverage? Do you spend most of your time in this area?

If yes, then you'll be perfect with the Mi5 Pro with a T-Mobile plan.

I honestly don't care that much for 4G. Got music stored locally, use wifi in public locations with safety measurements on my phone and I don't watch videos on the go. Just have a 3GB T-Mobile 3G plan for posting hot memes

>>55345478

Priv is good, but you cannot root or flash it. If you use AT&T, you're fine, if you don't, you need to check the version you're getting to see if you can get Marshmallow
Don't get a Windows Phone, unless you're 100% sure it has all the software you want.
Nexus 7 is a tablet, the presumed Nexus 7 as a phone, there's going to be two, so no opinions can really be made yet. The smaller Nexus is going to be shit.

>>55346148
He's got a point tho, why would Google not keep the card slot? It's kind of a must-have these days.

>>55346260
Also there's 2 types of panel, could be useful to include which panel you have as I wonder if that might cause different results. My screen time is pretty rubbish, it's always the highest thing using the battery. I think I get around 3-5 hours using auto screen set with a max around 1/2 which is worse than my old M8 and is really annoying me as I struggle to get through the day.

For now. The main reason why so much RAM is needed is because of bloated web pages and apps with a fuckload of apps. You can probably get by with 1GB RAM on android if you're 1337 but 2GB of RAM is a safe bet and leaves breathing room FOR NOW.

We'll probably have to have at least 4GB of RAM on our phones by 2020 for phones not to lag though. Though by then 4GB RAM Android phones will probably be less than $100 a piece.

Hahaha, my friend. In the same situation since I often need to go to rural areas and VZW has the best coverage there. There are a couple of phones you can unlock, or at least root on VZW, but not too many these days. Moto X Pure might be the best bet if you need a CDMA viable phone that has some freedom. Verizon's HTC10 can also be unlocked with a XDA service.

>>55346945
No need to get zerolemon Mugen, Seidio, Anker, RavPower, Zerolemon, and Hyperion are a few brands you can trust which offer less heavy and bulky options. Getting the same size again would probably get your use times back but more and more installed apps of course drain the battery too. You're safe with getting 6000mAh.

Previously had Kyocera Hydro Vibe but it is bricked. Any good phones Around $100 that would work with Virgin Mobile? If not, a diff carrier with a good cheap plan? I currently pay $20 for my plan and don't want to pay more than $35.

>>55347022
I imagine you're considering the Priv because of this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BlackBerry-Priv-STV100-1-32GB-4G-LTE-GSM-AT-T-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-New-/381605331472?hash=item58d9734210:g:7ysAAOSw3YNXYv9U ?
If so, yeah, you need AT&T to get Marshmallow.
It's not a bad phone, but it is Blackberry's first attempt at Android, so there will likely be a snag here and there. Battery life and heat improved a lot with Marshmallow, which is why I'm recommending you to go AT&T. Their version also has wireless charging (QI), if you're interested in that.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/06/30/blackberry-neon-android-canada/

>Rumored Neon has a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 13MP rear camera with a 8MP front-facing camera, 2610mAh battery, QuickCharge 2.0, powered by a Snapdragon 617 processor.

>>55347292
see >>55342601


Also, there is a little known secret to boost. Their base plan starts at $30 but you can lower it to $25 if you let them show ads on your phone once in a while. The $30 plan also grows to 5GB of high speed data over time. You dun goofed for choosing virgin mobile senpai.

ZTE is actually a very reliable chink brand in my experience. I owned the ZTE Blade, ZTE AWE, and now own the ZTE Warp Elite. All phones have been very good to me and never failed.

That being said I think ZTE is better suited for the budget range, their previous flagships have never gotten much attention and have had overheating and battery problems.

Once tried a xiaomi phone once and it literally shit itself a few days later with constant crashes and eventually would not boot. Stay away from xiaomi at all costs, now sure about that other chink brand you mentioned.

Thanks for all the effort anon. I used it in the new one.

I acquired an iPad mini 2 and it's pretty good. there's a lot of bloat ware, and it was probably faster on iOS 8 (it was already updated when I got it) but I've been impressed. I hated it at first, but now that I've settled in it's really cozy. Safari is great (my eyes popped out of head when I saw that it had extension support) and all the apps use the screen much better than most android tablet apps. The stock keyboard is very nice, too. I love being able to split it. I also like the blue light filter. Finally, I love how you can swipe from the right edge to have another app on top. This has served as a great replacement for the Google shortcut that I miss from my nexus 7. Finally, the measly 1gig of ram turned out to be a nonissue. apps have to reload, but they always seem to magically remember exactly where I was.

What I don't like is how fucking useless Siri is. The damn thing never understands what I say and never does what I ask. not once could I get the piece of shit to work. Google's assistant is so much better. I also don't like how there is no 4chan app. I'll probably jailbreak for this if I can, since I do not plan on updating this thing. It's already sluggish and buggy enough. I've had it for two days and I've already had three instances of apps freezing up and crashing. I also see some weirdness in a lot of the animations. Some animations in the email app seem half baked, and the multitasking animations get laggy quite often. My nexus 7 had more polish than this. Funny how the one thing that I expected to be good on an iPad (silky smooth, polished experience, just works, etc) ended up being one of the few things that my lagdroid tablet goes better!

All in all, I would definitely recommend it if you can get it for cheap, like me. It's been, what, two years since it came out? It still works pretty well.
