Thanks for making a good thread.

all phones are shit and a waste of money.

Which of these would be the best in the ~400$ price range. Samsung A5, S5 or J7?
Or any other samsung phone?
pls respond

Which phone has the objectively better camera, iPhone 6S or S7?

>>55561998
Why Samsung?

rmn3p outpecs all of them and has better battery life?

>>55562034
S7, also has AMOLED screen which is beautiful

Anyone here bought Amazon Moto G4? Does the regular root method works?

>>55562053
that LITERALLY has nothing to do with the camera

>>55562053

Samsung because I like samsung. What's a good phone in the 400$ price range then?

>>55561928
look at all that amazing design

>>55562065
No but it'll make the pictures look nicer after you take them

does TF card == microSD?

>>55562094

How does /spg/ feel about the Huawei Honor 5x? Was thinking about getting this, especially with the new marshmallow update.

>>55562240
stfu

>>55562190
Yes but this usually means it's a SDHC microsd slot so cards must be formatted in FAT32 to work. Good news is this means 128 and 256GB microsd cards will work so long as they are formatted in FAT32. And yes, you can format them in FAT32.

I'm getting a S6 Edge. I'm thinking of just getting a skin and maybe a leather case and skipping the screen protector entirely.

I've heard that argument cases just ruin the design of the phone and that skins are the better buy. And with screen protectors I hear that all of them are shit and break easily.


Thoughts on cases and screen protectors?

>>55562297
Why not S7 edge?

So is the axon 7 really bad as everyone says? The reviews are disappointing. What other phone around the price or lower is worth looking at now?

>>55562593
Wait for the k6000 premium

whats so bad about the axon it seems like a oneplus 3 with the problems people disliked fixed?

>>55562612
Whys the Axon shit though? And why have faith in Oukitel Quality?

>>55562503
Yet another reason to purchase the new Apple iPhone 7.

>>55562670
Axon 7 has problems that the OP3 doesn't have and vice versa. The the good of both devices, slap a 4000mAh battery into it and you'll have the perfect phone for 400.

>>55562976
You should've jumped on the prime day deal yesterday m8.

It's probably the best budget phone available considering its battery life and build quality, though it's somewhat restrictive in bands of LTE and there's no gyroscope for the AR features of Pokemon Go if you give a shit about that

>>55563128
Do MTK devices generally speaking work? I could imagine it working in EU and USA since they dont need to pay licence fees for band 20 to qualcomm

>>55563136
Frick, is that a really big deal? Will it make it impossible to play?

>>55563021
Well it only comes in 64GB and 128GB versions anyway

>>55563031
Payments? At least in my country

>>55563208
It's still perfectly playable, you just won't get the pokemon in the camera view where you manually look for it, it'll appear upon an animated background

>>55563235

That still blows, we already have 256GB msd cards and 512GB ones are on their way.

need a phone for pokemon go+social media. I'm not a rich man, I'll use the phone for at least 3 years. please suggest me something, the cheaper the better.
budget is ~$200

I've been looking around for a decent mid-range phone. So far, the best that has been in my price range is the Samsung Galaxy J5 or the Meizu m3. I just need 16 GiB internal storage and solid WLAN/cellular connectivity. What other phones should I look at?

Country: New Zealand.

>>55563759
Unlocked note 3 like >>55563622 posted especially if you want to play that meme game that requires a gyroscope and if you want the phone to last you for at least 3 years.

>>55563759
Hey that's funny, we were just talking about this. You might look into the Huawei honor 5x--downside is no gyroscope and thus no AR mode, but otherwise a pretty good budget phone.

Bought a New Moto E second Gen about a week ago. Replaced my combo of a fourth gen iPod Nano, Blackberry Bold 9900, and First Gen Nexus 7. Over all it was a pretty decent upgrade. All I use it for are taking pictures, texting, calling, playing music, Waze, and some web browsing. However I've been wondering if the extra $60 or so for the Moto G would have been worth it in the long run. a flash and extra half inch of screen would have been nice since I'm usually taking pictures in low light, and it feels JUST a little small in my hands. Has anyone else gone from a Moto E to a Moto G? How was it?

Here's a picture I recently took with it.

Best phone for 200-300€? Upgrading from 1st gen moto G. Should I keep with the line and get the newest Moto G/Moto X?

Ok i made a thread but i guess i'll ask here too.
My oneplus one has just gone to heaven after i fell in a pool today and i have just 400 $ to buy the oneplus three.
Every fucking review i read of this phone is positive but is it really that good?
For what i read today on the interwebs, it seems like the display is not a "real" FullHD, moreover, being a superamoled, the colors are quite oversaturated and the whites are fucking blue. Should i just trust of the sRGB mode they implemented recently? Could this be solved via updates?
The battery is a 3000 mAh, and oneplus one had a 3100 one, and the LTE modem just supports CAT 6

Is it worth it?

>>55564664
No company can secure you against your own stupidity but it's bootloader and root access is tied up tighter than a twelve year old Asian.

>>55563974
I'm also a Nexus 5 user and while the phone is great in most ways, the battery is just fucking ass, especially when you play a game or watch streams once in a while.

Is the Redmi 3 Pro a good choice right now or is other shit with a similar price-performance ratio around the corner?

I'll be straight up with you, if I could go back to having the battery life of my redmi in my Nexus 5, I never would have changed phones.

Camera is alright, but better on the nexus thanks to ois. Multitasking is much nicer on the redmi, overall performance I haven't noticed a difference, but the nexus 5 does have the faster SoC.

Battery life is 11-13 hours per charge and that's with moderate brightness.

Overall, I love how easy the fingerprint scanner makes things, the extra ram is really nice, the screen is bright and looks great, the battery life is insane.

But it takes ~2.5 hours to charge up from a flat battery, camera is worse.

If battery life with smooth performance is what you want, then go for it, but if you want a good camera you'll be pretty disappointed.

>>55565248
Thanks for the info, look's like there's more I have to consider, as I frequently take pictures.

Last one, don't want to spam this thread too much.

As I'm sure you've noticed, redmi 3 benefits a lot from HDR, which is why I usually leave it on.

Currently using my HTC One M7

Should I bite the bullet and get the Nexus 6P?

Which should I get, the Redmi 3 Pro or the Redmi 3s? What's the difference between the SoC (617 vs 430)? Which one has better ROM support (I want CM, not the chink bloat+botnet ROM)?

Additionally, any alternative in this category? Maybe with a 1080p screen?

>Is it fast enough for adoptable storage to not suck?
90MB/s write is really really fucking fast nigga. I'm planning to get one when it reaches at least $160 in a few months though. I suggest you wait for the price to drop as well, early adopters always get jewed the most.

So I want to switch from HTC M7 since the battery is finally dying on me and I don't want to bother replacing it. I narrowed my choices down to Moto X Pure Edition 32GB and OnePlus 3.

Which one is better? Battery life is important for me but that 6GB of RAM seems nice for futureproofing. Most of the review outlets gave OP3 amazing scores but actual people who bought it listed a lot of issues. Is OP3 really that bad?

>>55566016
>Is OP3 really that bad?
>no msd slot in 2016 where 256gb msd cards are now going down in price
You tell me.

Is the g4 or g4+ worth it?
I'll be in the U.S. using cricket, I want root access too. I'm sure root will come out eventually but I wanna know, for the price, is this good or are there better options? I don't really want a chinkphone either I'll usually only get hspa signal and I want 4G

>>55566062
bootloop

>>55566016
Honestly I think more than 4 gigs of ram on a phone is simply unnecessary. As far as the op3 vs moto x goes, I'd say they're pretty much equal, just depends on the processor you want and if you want removable storage. I'd go with the Moto solely because of removable storage.

>>55566162
it's 5.7 right? I have no problem with that form factor, but I want to get off my HTC One M7 ASAP.

At 499 for 128gb it seems like a fucking bargain.

>>55566044

Storage is not really an issue for me since I came from M7 32GB with no extendable storage and I never have a single problem with it.

As for the RAM, that's why I said futureproofing. I also heard that the RAM on OP3 is not fully utilized or something, but they can fix it with a firmware update, r-right?

Is battery degradation still a thing? If so when will it stop being a thing? Really puts me off that you can't change batteries in newer phones

What's the value/chink 5" or smaller Android phone to have?

I've been searching for a good smartphone and I saw that on Amazon the Redmi 3 pro is listed at 190 euro, should I go for it?
I'm really interested.

>>55566488
Battery degradation is still a thing, and will be a thing until a battery technology better than Li-Ion and Li-Po is developed. Also, even on phones that have "non removable batteries", you can still buy replacements for decent prices and solder them in yourself. It just takes a few more minutes, and you shouldn't have to do it very often.

if I buy my samsung galaxy s7 edge at t-mobile are they gonna be jews about me switching to a different provider after 2 months if I don't like their service? Anyone have experience with this? I've never bought my own cellphone service or cellphone before

>>55564925
your other thread is still up. so i'll just copy what i posted there.

the biggest complaint for this phone is the quality of the screen, which personally, i did not have an issue with.

my issue was my oneplus 3 started failing within 24 hours of me receiving it. camera and flashlight modules weren't detected, and drawing a v on the screen to enable the flashlight led to the phone freezing and rebooting not knowing what to do. the flashlight option wasn't even present in the OS. did a factory reset, and didn't help. didn't install twrp, didn't root it, didn't do shit. it just died. sent it back for the refund.

wait for later batches unless you really need to spend that 400.

>>55566218
That's what oneplus said about the ram, but I meant even for the future I don't think smartphones will need more than 4 gigs of ram for at least the next 10 years, but since expandable storage isn't an issue I would definitely go with the op3 due to it simply being more powerful

The power and volume buttons on my v10 are half dead.
When I finally get around to breaking out the warranty I drop the thing and break the screen

Should I take it to a local place for repairs or send it to lg anyway?

>>55566977
bump, anyone?

>>55562094
Well there's the Z5C, but the price is rather on the level of the iPhone SE. Unless you get a used one.

Is Samsung's phone tracker any good? Since I can't root my S7 to install Cerberus to survive wipes I'm wondering if Samsung's any more durable since it's pre-installed?

Does anybody know how to update a non-updateable phone?

The phone that I'm trying to update is Samsung gt-19100.

Juan here, is the Lumia 950 XL a good phone or should i wait until the HTC 10 or the S7E drop in price? It has everything i want, the only problem is that it runs W10 instead of Android and i am afraid it may be utter shit and lack good apps just like iOS, i really need a new phone, the one i have right now (Xperia M running unnoficial CM13) is broken beyond repair, its a wonder it still works and fixing it would cost me half the price of the Lumia. chinkshit isnt an option because of the coverage and every $150-200 phone you guys recommend is about $300+ here, the only cheap smartphones sold are the low end ones and the Lumia seems relatively high end.

>QHD AMOLED screen
>3 GB ram/32 GB internal
>dedicated microSD slot up to 256 GB
>20 mp camera
>5.7" phone so i can pretend im not a poorfag
>stock, spics arent smart enough to bloat W10 mobile yet
>SIM unlocked

All that for a ridiculous 7200 pesos, for comparison the S7E costs at least 19,000 pesos depending on the carrier, and the HTC 10 costs 14,000 pesos but so far only Telcel has it (shit signal, no unlimited data, gives your number to telemarketers), and just to show you how overpriced everything in mexico is, the iPhone 6s Plus costs 25,000 pesos because every rich faggot here doesnt mind paying up the ass for everything.

Is it no good then? Like i told you the HTC 10 is only sold by Telcel here and Telcel is a shit company, my budget is about 16,000 and i dont want another 600p/1GB ram/4 internal phone again, im just going to use it as a book reader/youtube machine anyway, and for 7200 its practically a steal.

What to buy?

>Nexus 6p
>Sony Xpr Z5
>One Plus 3
>some Samsung

>>55568369
Oh okay Pablo.
My experience with Windows 10 on a phone was only a couple day but it was a fucking hell of a ride to be honest famiglia. No good apps, even for mainstream services such as Youtube. The UI looks new and different at first but it gets old really fucking quick. Don't do it, it's terrible.
HTC 10 is the phone I would have gotten if I didn't already have an N6P. Looks really good all around, almost stock Android, nice design, okay camera and battery.
Samshit has slightly better specs on paper but I just can't fucking stand Touchjizz, so I guess it's up to you between those.

I'm looking to buy a new phone to upgrade from my current Xperia L, because i really want to play pokemon go and on the xperia l it's fucking unplayable, lags and freezes like shit.

I considered lg g flex 2 but it has zero xda support so that sucks, since i will definitely want a cyanogenmod for that shit

My current choice is LG G3, which looks solid lookwise and parameter wise.. but they say it's fragile as fuck and on top of that it has serius battery problems.. like it basically drains dry in one day of you barealy even using it... so i am not sure if its worth the trouble

i'm from czech republic

Any ideas? Definitely has to have good xda support.

>>55568375
>N6P
-Good spec
-pure Android and fast updates
-awesome camera, especially in low light
-acceptable, although not great battery life
-nice design (subjective)
-kind of expensive and no mSD

>Z5
-mSD
-waterproof-ish
-awesome design
-flagship specs
-inexpensive considering the specs
-dedicated camera button
-great fingerprint reader placement
-Z3 battery life was pure magic, dunno if it's still true with Z5
-typical Sony issues : great camera crippled by abysmal software. The camera app is fucking slow and bloated, the images produced are destroyed by sub Pajeet-tier processing, and despite promising Camera2 API support since the Z3 days, there's still no fix in sight. In fact they made it even worse on the new X series.

>OP3
-Chinkshit
-shit
-shit

>Samsung
-probably best specs on the market
-superfast camera with good performance (still not quite as good as N6P, particularly in low light)
-great battery life afaik
-expensive
-TOUCHJIZZ

>>55562246
I just bought one and should arrive in a couple days. Seems good for the price, was going to get a moto g 2016 but I heard it isnt great.

>>55568397
Thank you, so if i save up a little more for an S7E and install nova launcher and goodlock on it would that be a good choice? I really want an HTC 10 because HTC is a low profile/no name company here, one of the main reasons i dont want a "flagship" phone is because i might get mugged and then shot for it, but i dont want a shitty phone either and those three were my only real choices, Motorola loves to bloat its smartphones here and their prices are similar to Samsung, i know that the newest Xperia will be prone to shit the bed even in pristine condition just like any other good sony product so thats another company i wont consider.

>>55568450

it took me forever to save up for a new phone and i will be stuck with it for at least 3 years, so i don't want to make a mistake

>>55568612
See >>55568462
Best XDA support will always be Nexus.

>>55568520
I don't think the HTC 10 would be worth it, the M9 is pretty good, also i found it used for about 5000 pesos on FB, so it's a good option.

PD: El HTC 10 te lo bajaran en verguiza porque parece iPhone, y te putearan porque creeran que es un clon pirata.

>>55568612
Well, idk how expensive Samsung is...
But the S5 is a good performer, even today. Also the support is good, but it depends on which model you have.

All the xiaomis sold here are with the helio cpu, is that a problem?
I looked at some forums and apparently if you want a custom rom you can't use one made for snappdragon for the helio, and the roms i saw are almost exclusively all for the snapdragon

>>55567994
Search for custom roms, cyanogen mod if it's available. I managed to get cyanogen mod on some old samsung, maybe a year older than that one.

>>55568557
I can definitely stomach a shitty ui, i used a phone that lagged every other hour for almost 5 years so i should be used to it.

>>55568640
So an HTC M9 as a stopgap until other carriers start selling the HTC 10, the sim can be unlocked, or i give in to Samsung and buy the S8E or whatever they call their next Galaxy, for use at home only, gotcha.

Thank you, everyone.

PD: I fucking hate this place, i want to move somewhere else to avoid the daily stabbings but i know that america doesnt need any more spics and europe has a worse economy.

not sure if this is the place to ask, but I've been given an old iPhone 4S and I'm looking to jailbreak it. The device is on 8.1.3, and I have TaiG handy for that, but before I jailbreak it, I want to wipe the previous user's data off of the phone. It is my understanding that restoring the phone will update it as well. Is there a good way to erase the phone data which won't update the phone in the process?

Please explain me the micro sd meme, I've never filled my 32GB phones, why would I need a card slot in a 64GB phone?

What's the deal with US cell plans, why are they so expensive? I could get a 2gb plan for $35/mo, or I could keep my UK provider, which despite being a UK provider gives me 12gb in the US for about $26/mo. This is ridiculous.

>>55574356
Better safe than sorry. In addition 128GB microsd cards are going to hit $20/piece soon and the 256GB one is already below $200.

64GB may seem like a lot right now but what about when your music/video library starts growing? Or when you want to use your phone as a flash drive?

Because companies here are interested in people getting family plans.

Boost Mobile for example will only charge you $95/month or $19/person in a family plan which covers 5 users with 2GB of high speed data then unlimited data at 2G speeds. This goes up to $220/month or $44/person in a family plan which covers 5 users with unlimited high speed data and 8GB of free hotspot data.

I am concerned about the massive battery drain, but no other old flagships really appeal to me much

Moto G4 from Amazon.

Don't forget to tell him to get the ad infested variant which gives you 0 privacy and virtually 0 hope for root.

If you buy any chinkphone, are you part of botnet? or are some brands thrusthworthy?

I think BestBuy is doing the Moto G4 for $199 and you get a $50 card when you buy it.

But apparently the Amazon one can be rooted.

I once read that cheap generic USB-c cables were frying phones and computers.

Is it just google shilling their own expensive cables, or i shouldnt buy a chink cable? (I need to import 1)

I have an iPhone 6, when is the sweet spot best time to sell it for a newer phone?
Or should I just stick with it until I have a legit good reason to give up on it?
Don't care whether or not I'm going to an android device or idevice next.

I have used and enjoy both android and apple for various reasons.

looking at the trend of when ios updates start to criple devices
it should stay relevant up to the iphone 8/8s

Anyone advise me on what the cheapest option for me here is?

I have a Sony Xperia Z2, which is a great phone but also a fragile piece of shit. I've had it for 18 months and the screen has cracked and needed repair 6 times. On 3 of those occasions I dropped it so fair enough, but 3 other times it happened more or less by itself - last time it was just in my pocket, took it out, and it was cracked - even though I keep it in a protective case. I don't have insurance (yes I know that was dumb, in retrospect) so I've had to pay to fix it each time. After lots of complaining I got my carrier (EE) to offer me a free early upgrade - but all their options for similar spec phones are 2-3 times the price of what I currently pay (which isn't really an option, I'm looking to go £25p/m max).

So basically what I'm asking is there any way that I can get a similar phone to the Z2 for a similar price as what I pay currently (£19.99p/m) ? The phone is great, I just want something that won't break every couple of months. I'd actually prefer to have pay-as-you-go, so anyone know any affordable handsets (e.g. ~£150) with similar spec? Failing that, any way I can get the phone repaired for free or for low cost, seeing as it wasn't my fault it cracked? Sorry for the essay, I'm just poor and this fucking phone is making me even poorer.

Forgot to say, I'd like it to be Android compatible if possible - there's lots of apps that I like to use which are only found in AppStore or Play Store, and I don't want to get an Apple phone.

The Z2 doesn't even have gorilla glass, just a generic chink "scratch resistant" glass. It's a design flaw.
Have a look on uswitch to find good deals. Though there really aren't any good phones for £150, you might find a decent upgrade deal.

>tfw i have tmobile and i currently pay $3/week for 60MB/week of data
not even enough to read newspapers every day

>>55576089

I am not sure where the z2 is placed, but i had a Xperia SP, and damn, that shit was great. An excelent phone, great battery too a LOT of punishment without any major damage, besides some chipped plastic on the corners.

>>55576162
It's a nightmare, it would only need that very slight design change to make it a really great phone. I saw it survive drop tests on YouTube, but I have no idea how. I dropped it from only about 1.5 feet onto my bathroom floor and the whole thing cracked, even though it was in a protective plastic case. The whole touchscreen stops working even with a small crack too.

What's your FAVORITE device for under 100, /g/?

Was thinking of a Moto E
