Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I can send a email to myself from an alternate account, it shows up on my desktop client in seconds, but can take minutes to show up on an application. I honestly feel like there's some kind of play services or google syncing error I have.

$500 (64GB) isn't exactly cheap anymore, in the age of ChinkPhones and SharkCards, but it's a lot easier to swallow than full 'flagship' prices, which seem totally divorced from what these things cost to produce.

>>55369699
I'm sure you could find cheaper phones for that price, like those Amazon adshit phones, that ZTE boost one, or an old motorola for >140.

If you've already got a decent driver phone, you shouldn't need an older nexus.

>>55369032
America - T-Mobile. I may switch later but for now thats whats up.

I've been using my Moto E (1st gen) for awhile and while it was OK when I rarely used my phone, it is showing its age. The touch screen is inaccurate and the phone randomly shuts off from time to time. I'd like to keep my next phone for the next 3-5 years so picking the right one is worth thinking about.

What I'm looking for:
-Android
-4.7-5.0 inch screen
-Support for T-Mobile band12 (building penetration)
-Newer than 2014 (power, battery life, tech, and band12 support as above)
-SD card support would be really nice
-NFC would be nice
-Best camera you can get for the money:

$150-$250

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 active off ebay for the active button, quick camera loading, good quality camera etc. I never got it unlocked but the seller was cool about the return so w/e. I can get one off swappa or ebay unlocked for roughly $250~. The phone doesnt support SD cards though so I'm taking the time to re-evaluate and hopefully find something similar but with SD card support.

Even at 5.1 inches the phone felt a bit big, I'd like to be able to run with it in my pocket.

>>55369699
Aren't Moto Es dirt cheap now? Get one of those. Or just don't be a clumsy fuck and break your phone.

On GSMArena all I can find for those screen sizes are some sony phones, and the HTC m9 and A9 among a few others. Small screen sizes are pretty uncommon, and I'll warn you that the older HTC phones don't have a great camera.

>LG G4 still has no bootloader unlock on most models

Good lord, I dodged a bullet on that one. Imagine if I chose to buy a G4 instead of the oneplus one back in 2015. It's scary just to think about.

Oh yeah, forgot about that too.

What a piece of shit the G4 is. Shame, it had a decent camera and nice industrial design + remov. bat.

Anyway, I recommend waiting for Sailfish/Marlin if you can.

>>55369872
But I need that microSD. I'll wait to see them released before considering them.

Talk me out of getting a HTC10 or OP3, since apparently it's gotten some fixes.

>>55369914
OP3 is decent since the sRGB update but it doesn't have an mSD slight, friendo.

The HTC 10 is good, but it's overpriced af right now (HTC are delusional and like to think their brand commands the same premium as Samsung/Apple).

I'd look for one on ebay bruh, plenty to be found for tmobile at that price.

>>55369928
Yeah, but at least you can get the OP3's 64GB without spending 550 like a fucking nexus 6p and its retarded huge screen. At least there's type-C mSD readers.

And yeah, HTC10 is overpriced as shit but hopefully they'll go down in price especially used soon. 500 new would be pretty reasonable for it.

>>55369928
If I've been mostly okay with a 32GB phone with no SD, am I fine with 64GB?

>>55369951
>overheating 810 shit

no. The HTC One M8 is literally a superior device in every way and can be had for $200 or less. It also supports band 12.

>>55369964
What kind of question is that? You're the one who knows your storage needs, not us.

>>55369985
explain how the m9's screen is shit. i'll give you 810, but everything else you've said sounds like bias bullshit.

>>55369964
64 should honestly be the default, with the price of a 32GB if you're going to forgo a fucking mSD slot. Manufacturers are just jewing you into using their cloud shit as they pack 2GB of bloatware onto your phone that already uses 1/6th of the 32GB for system data.

It's significantly better, retard. The M8 also has a better SoC, better speakers (yep that's right, they downgraded the speakers in the M9 too) and far better battery life.

>>55370238
Interesting. Hopefully they don't fuck it up, since I'd much prefer to use a custom rom for a phone like that.

>>55370257
They already released device tree and kernel source, so the ROM scene for OP3 should be just as good as the OPO (far better than the OP2's sad scene).

It even has ElementalX kernel support, one of the best custom kernels around (previously only on HTC and Nexus devices).

fuck that. i absolutely blame oneplus for it.

no one would mind shelling out 450+ for this exact same phone with a micro sd slot and all the specs already on it. 500+ for a non shit screen and DAC. they have the capability, they just choose to cut corners.

oneplus could be a fucking flagship company, keep their "flagship killer" low price phones, whilst also having it's own like of premium phones that stick with the unlocked bootloader philosophy, and they would make a fucking buttload off people of every budget. that's their own fault.

Cause Three do £30 a month, no upfront cost for 1gb of data for an S7 on new contracts.

Try phoning them when your upgrade is due and ask what the best upgrade you can get is, then say you can get it cheaper elsewhere and they should put you through to retentions who can nearly always match other deals.

I think the phone with that plan is an iPhone5 but to cut a long story short I bought the Note4 on eBay about a year ago and I use the sim with unlimited everything in the Note4. The iPhone is somewhere in New Zealand haha.
When I was in store they said I use about 2gb a month so a 3gb or 4gb plan might be best depending on what's available. I don't send huge amounts of texts or spend hours on the phone so I'm not too fussed about that.
The S7 is pretty tempting but they said it would be about £43pm if I wanted it.

>>55374941
The phone retention team can pretty much always get you a better deal.
Cause dropping the tariff from £43 to £30 a month, is better than losing the customer and £30 a month.

S7 is pretty much the best phone on the market right now
but heres an article with a few more.

HTC 10 is also good, Nexus 6p would be a good cheaper phone than the S7/HTC 10

>>55378017
I heard it's not built with quality parts that last... Also, does it even have expandable memory?

My Smart Ultra 6 has a broken headphone jack (again - second one with same fault) so Amazon are refunding me the £100. Just ordered a Moto G4 for £160. Did I fuck up, /spg/?

>>55378034

Yes, up to 256gb.

How much ROM support can I count on if I get a qualcomm xiaomi?
I don't need 30000 pajeet ROMs like the nexus phones, just a CM port or maybe PA whenever a new version of Android comes out.

So, I'm going to Japan for a full year in a few months.

I need to get a phone that works on both NTT-Docomo's network and Ting(GSM) in America.

What's the best way to figure out whats for me?

I honestly don't care too much about features as long as its not a dinosaur.

Currently looking at a Huawei P9 as the best thing I've found so far.

Any other suggestions?

I have had a 16gb Nexus 4 since 2012 and lately it's screen has been becoming non responsive in certain parts. Dropped it earlier today and now a dead touch zone popped up on the right side of the screen. The screen also sometimes doesn't want to turn on forcing me to have to hard reset the phone.

Want to start looking into a replacement for it but want to keep the budget hopefully under $150 but I'm willing to pay up to 200 for a phone. Mostly used the nexus for music and photos and browsing 4chan on the go. Was thinking of just getting a refurbished Nexus 4 but I dunno about refurbished phones. Carrier I use is currently AT&T.

Something that doesn't have an awful battery might be nice too.

Next nexuses when? Are they going to be worth the wait? I have pretty beaten up 1+1 currently, anxiously waiting for a worthy upgrade

>>55375979
tell me

I have an unlimited 4G connection. I run a homeserver with terabytes of hdd space in a raid array. I have openvpn set up for my phone.

Why do I need more than 32gb of storage on my phone? I'd much rather not have anything sensitive on my phone.

>>55379241
yup, just checked, not bad at all. Unfourtunately in my country LTE bands won't work, whereas zuk do

>>55379252
used 1+1 is still a pretty good phone. I haven't had the need to replace my 2-year-old $299 1+1, even though I'm kinda looking for a new phone. I woudn't need to, though, I just want to.

Good rom scene, okayish battery life (1,5 days easily), easy to replace screen.

Shitty customer service but you probably could do without, eh?

Given the option to trade you Galaxy Note 5 for a like new Galaxy S6 or paying $250 insurance deductible to fix your shattered screen what would you choose?

Replacement parts for screen are $165 so not worth replacing myself.

I am probably gonna buy a Nexus 5x or a Galaxy S6

convince me to buy one or the other. I am leaning towards the S6 because of its supposed better build quality

>>55380777
I'd go for the s6 then sell it and spend the extra 250 towards the note 7 later.

>>55380799
Both have shit battery life and no micro sd card. S6 is faster and isn't stuck with 2GB ram so get that I guess.

my first smartphone - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro Prime should arrive on monday

fuckers caught it at the border and I most likely will have to pay VAT(20%) though no tariff
but thats roughly the same as DHL shipping would cost

when I ordered smsl amp it just went through... hoped I would got lucky again

anyway, seems to be a solid phone for 140€
4100mAh battery on a 720p screen should give me comfortable battery life, thats why I went for it and not the redmi note 3 with 1080p

One of the reasons I stuck to a dumb phone was seeing people around me hunting for usb plugs through out the day, EVERY fucking day, it seems insane to me...
I am hoping for 3 days with my low usage
other stats are 3GB ram, fingerprint sensor, whole metal mody, microSD,... pretty alright for the price IMO

>>55379284
In a few months, October the latest

>>55380593
pls respond

>>55383045
might be some time until the Nextus comes down to the price the 6P is at now, and it's most definitely gonna start at flagship-price, right?
I'm not unwilling to spend more because I'd need to save up, the 450/500€ mark with a tendency towards 450€ is just where it stops being worth it for a phone for me.

So I figured might aswell invest now, since the price is fine-ish for me and the specs too.
Who knows what the next Nexus is gonna be.

Unless you meant for me to actually wait for the 6P to fall in price (and not really the Nextus), then I'm not sure, by that point the 6P will have aged even more, and at that point why buy anythign since the next upgrade/pricedrop is kinda 'right around the corner'?

Turbo 2 is nice but the screen flickers and the fast charger burns out the usb port, the Moto Z/Force should be a monster. FUck the maxx 2.

> Samsung: Great phones with too much bloat. Easily fixable with package disabler pro and Nova Pro. The note 5 is better than mostly everything. Samsung gave me the S7 Edge and its such a meme level phone. They just made the thing curved cause they could.

Dude, so I'm bailing on Verizon because they fucked me.

A rep quoted and signed a confirmation that my bill would be $150/month after taxes. Ended up being $275.

Rep told me that Verizon would send me a box for my old phone for them to pay off my previous bill, and my old phone agreement. They didn't, no one in the store will help me, and Verizon phone reps tell me they're going to send me a box and then fucking don't.

Told the seller I bought off and they dealt with it all and I got a refund.

Never had a prob with DPD

Look into Project Fi. $20 for unlimited talk/text, and they refund data not used. If you don't use data, then no data charge essentially. With the added benefit that if you ever do need data you have it available.

Downside is they only support the Nexus 5x and 6p right now. Upside is the 5x is $150 off if you get it through them.

But it has a feature where you can link onboard storage to sd storage to make one virtual partition so you don't have to deal with choosing what to put where.

The snapdragon 810 overheats and makes 4k recording a nightmare. Although updates have helped it, the z3c it's still better in most fields

redpill me on iphone 6 vs galaxy s6, gonna be upgrading soon and these are what i'm stuck between

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a new Moto E? Ontario, Canada with Rogers. Only using it to take pictures during day, send text, sometimes call, use waze, play music, and other basic Android stuff. It's replacing my combo of a BB 9900, Nexus 7, and ipod Nano.

ZTE Warp Elite, it's on sale for $74 on amazon right now.

I love my Z3, but taking a lot of pictures with it gets it hotter than anything else, even games.
Hell it would get almost too hot to touch, which is why I think the glue started to melt. This also caused the screen to loosen.

Excuse me but if I root and install AOSP 5.1 on my xiaomi redmeme 3 I bought from gearbest does this void the warranty? And is my warranty worth worrying about?

>>55383987
Nothing. The general public has never heard of it so there's low demand. Everyone that sees mine loves it. They can't believe blackberry made something like this and then they get all sentimental about the good ol days. With the right pricing and promotion on their next two devices blackberry could start to turn around their hardware department.

I was fucking kicking myself for not taking up the ebay $299 USD deal but i was a NEET and got a chinkphone instead. Now it is $399 USD.

What's the state of custom ROMs like on the HTC 10?

>>55386473
It'll be back at $299 or somewhere around there soon, it was at $349 a week before.

What is the absolute cheapest brand new android phone that can run whatsapp and browse internet.

Bonus points if it can do that and have cyanogen or replicant support

>>55386529
yeah I think I'll just wait for their new phone. This chink shit is probably going to die on me sometime soon.

>>55386619
Alright, but the next one with a keyboard is 4.5" and midrange.
I'm actually really happy with the former, but how does the 625 compare to the 808?

>>55369636
I won't. That is literally the best iPhone design there is. No smooth, rounded edges will top that. Beautiful piece.

Hey plebs, should I buy a Vertu phone to shit all over apple fanboys and galaxies?

yes, get a fucking leaf imo

>>55386727
No idea, it was announced just a few days ago. Doubt you'll have any problems if all you're going to do is web browsing and Whatsapp though

when does Android get a phone like the iPhone SE?

>>55386502
good as long as it's not verizon

>>55386890
You CAN get access to bootloader on the Verizon though

>>55386973
You can, but it's not a popular phone and only a handful of people are going to have an unlocked bootloader. Makes more sense to just buy a US unlocked and convert it to Verizon and having to mail it to some random dude.

>>55386803
their smartphones suck though, not much difference from regular smartphone.

Their keyphones are where its at. Pure class.

And risky to carry.

>>55386992
>Makes more sense to just buy a US unlocked and convert it to Verizon
Really, how? I thought the CDMA was usually built in.

>>55387027
Interesting stuff. Though for me it'd depend on price, if I found a cheaper 10 in Verizon's model, I'd rather send for that unlocking service and not have to deal with some of those potential issues. Good stuff though, hoping the HTC10 price drops soon.

Why do you think of the HP elite x3? I'm excited that a new Windows Phone is finally coming out but I don't know of the phone will be good or not.

>>55369636
I just traded in my 6 for a 6s+. Having mixed feelings about the sheer size of this shit. My dainty girl-like hands just can't hold so much girth.
But the keyboard seems more accurate and reading books on it is a bit more enjoyable.

Yeah I was hoping for a America Day sale on HTC but I don't think it's gonna happen. Wouldn't mind getting it in black with the free uh oh protection.

>>55387139
What the hell is up with that bottom speaker grille?

SAMSUNG J500FN or MOTOROLA MOTO 3G?
Samsung is a little more expensive.

>>55387422
half plays music, half records your voice for the botnet

>>55379252
You can probably get hold of a Nexus 5 for that.

>>55383597
there /r/xiaomi subreddit
the recommendation for buying was aliexpress and the seller TopOne
choose DHL shipping and you should have it in 8 days and not paying anything to anyone above the price+shipping

>>55383928
its 20% in my country

>>55385265
aliexpress and the seller TopOne, grey, + 7€ for flip cover

>>55388546
>choose DHL shipping and you should have it in 8 days and not paying anything to anyone above the price+shipping
what? you basically have to pay all the taxes in existance with dhl because customs always check their packages

>>55388584
they send you lots of text after you order, theres also this bit

>We recommend you choose DHL to try our "European Union Express". We guarantee there is no any Customs Duty and VAT. It will take only 4-8 working days. It's safe and fast! The value of the item is very high. It's worthy to have a better shopping experience!

I think they go in to EU by some lax country like spain, and then repackage/send when going elsewhere in the EU, so its not checked...

buying iphone 6s from amazon is it safe? I've seen that most people rate 5 stars but sometimes you have got some guys who receive an empty box

>>55388728
Buy only from Amazon, not a "fulfilled by Amazon" or marketplace seller.
Record a video of you opening the package incase it is missing.
