Thoughts on the LeTV Le 1 x600?

I can live with 32GB storage and it has better than redmi 3 pro hardware for the same price as the redmi 3

This might be a silly novice question, but is there anything I should be wary of when buying new phones from eBay? I'm thinking of getting a Note 3 and rather than hold out for a gently used one, I could get a brand new one for $240. Is there any reason not to get a new one? Basically, is there anything that could have happened to make the phone a dud?

NEXUS 5X: My GS5 broke and Im not really crazy about any phone thats out to buy a flagship. Was thinking about getting a Nexus 5X to hold me over until something I like eventually comes out.


Does it still suffer from the same pitiful battery/camera/lag issues or is that smoothed over mostly? I don't like that it's not an amoled screen but I can get over that.

>>55759215
pretty damn smooth for me on N preview, but other reports are varied as always.

>>55759136
>X10
No. that's the same SoC in the RN2/RN3 (vanilla versions).
At least get the new one with the X20:
http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-leeco-letv-le-2-x620-3gb-16gb

>>55759275
But it's cheap.

X10 is also much faster than SD616 or 430

>>55759264
Thanks for your comment! hm, poo. Do you think it would be a better investment than a refurbished gs5? Hows your battery?

>>55759279
Than just get the RN2/3?? they're the same size and price, and have SD slot and bigger batteries.

>>55759215
Wait for the new Nexus phones to be announced. They might be much superior and at worse the 5X will be all that much cheaper.

>>55759310
>rmn3
>costs more, has less ram, has worse camera

>rmn2
Same size battery, worse camera and battery life, less ram

The le 1 has usb type c which is pretty neat too, and I'm only wondering if there are any better options at this price range.

>>55759315
the thing is I need a phone right now, mine is broken. Id just give this to my mom and get a new nexus when they come out if theyre awesome. I ordered a refurb gs5 but I can return it. Not sure what to do here becaus emy GS5 got laggy as hell and sucked.

planning on upgrading my S5 to an S7 edge tomorrow, partially so i can use the gear vr someone gifted me. is it a meme phone? i'm on verizon and using an update to switch over. is there anything else i should consider instead?

>>55759297
Battery lasts the day for me with light to medium use but I charge whenever I use GPS. Galaxy S5 is an abomination (hardware and software), go Nexus.

Has anyone already bought Moto G4?

>>55759400
Just a day with light to medium use? Well, that certainly is not good. :[ Thats as bad as my 2.5 year old gs5. Considering that, it really hardly seems different from the gs5, which is way older. WHat about all that lagging/camera problems?

With a phone that old, I doubt you're going to find an actual new, out of the box one. Most likely it'll either be a chink knockoff (not one of the good ones) or a refurb being passed off as new. Inspect it when you get it and make sure you have buyers protection of some sort.

When does WP become good?

>>55759733
Yeah, I'll have eBay which pretty much always sides with buyers. It's being sold by a US seller with fairly high feedback/experience, so I think I have nothing to lose with the return process if needed. I'm just worried that it's some sort of lemon or something instead of just innocent deadstock, like a batch of known defective models or something.

>>55759051
If Sony is replacing the X Performance this soon, why did they even bother releasing that overpriced lump of shit?

Anyone really excited for Moto Z? There will be a devkit available, so there will be plenty of mods unlike the G5 (lol) Also the mods will be compatible with any new Moto Z at least for 2 years.
I'm waiting for the unlocked edition.

>Anyone really excited for Moto Z?
No.

>Moto Z review: The mods can’t save this one

>But with sketchy battery life, a so-so camera, and a cool idea that’s not yet great, this one is a “wait.” If anything, I’d reconsider when the Moto Z is available unlocked later this year. By then, we’ll have seen devices such as the Galaxy Note 7, iPhone 7, and maybe even a new Nexus, and that’s some really, really tough competition.

> the approach to software can’t be beat. But if you don’t care for the whole mod revolution, you can get the same flagship experience from the OnePlus 3, which retails for $399.

It's a meme like TSwift's fat luscious red lips are a meme on my dick

>>55759559
Extremely smooth on N. Had laggy camera issues when I first got it (October 2015) but factory reset (and set up as new instead of transfer from old device) and software updates helped drastically. Will note, apparently YMMV as I still see people complaining about those issues. There's still lag but a custom kernel/ROM would probably eliminate that completely.

*Moto Z Force
and well yes, i care about the whole mod revolution

>>55759051
I want a phone that I can use for trinus VR and google cardboard, T-moblie, austria and no features except the proposed matter.

>>55759839

Probably most of Android N. They're saying they want to have it use Google's VR, so it'll certainly get N for sure.
Apparently there's no unlock yet, but they're saying "When, not If" about it. The bootloader is literally the only thing keeping me from buying it at this point.

I've seen some news about unlocking the S7, will it be possible? and is cyanogen worth it?

it's objectively on the correct side, you dimwit

it's the left-most icon, the left-most icon should and always take you a step back in any program or application you're using

take a look at your web browser, top left should have 2 arrows, one going back and another going forward. I wonder why they aren't to the right of your address bar, you dumb chink faggot?

>>55760180
Nope.
Use phone with your right hand.
Back button is used 50x more than the menu button.
Easier to reach the back button with your thumb.
No need to stretch your thumb all the way to the left to press back.

This is the natural approach and the only one that makes. if your'e doing it the other way, your'e a stupid dumb shithead with 50 IQ score.

Anybody else got some nexus 5x stories, particularly battery life and lag?

I've been rocking the OneM8 for the past two years and I think it's great.

I just got my upgrade notification about a week ago. On the first when I get paid I'm gonna go get a new phone.

I'm pretty stuck between HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Can anyone vouch for the audio quality of the HTC 10? Any personal experience around these parts?

Can I stop KLWP running in the front? I can't clear all my running apps at once without shutting KLWP which kills my live wallpaper.

What browser's THE best right now?
Been using Lightning forever, are any of the CAF based ones any better?

Pros:
>still the cheapest bang for your buck outright phone in Canada
>camera and bloat free Android is great
>constant Google updates fix """"any problems"""" monthly
>good phone size for one handed use
>videos and text look great
>charging is good / 1-2 hour full 100% if you DON'T use the phone while charging
>upon fresh reboot, phone is the fastest device I've ever held
If rooted:
>easy to root / Pure Nexus ROM + Ex Kernel made my device faster and last longer battery wise
>no reboots necessary, always runs great

Cons:
>overpriced in Canada. Find a friend in the US to buy it for you. I made the mistake to buy it full price at $499, 32GB
>battery does 4hrs SOT tops
>gets hot as fuck. Slows down if it gets passed 45 degrees C.
>plastic build makes it feel cheap as fuck. Again, get this for the ~$250 US price tag to justify
If rooted:
>battery is still 4hrs
>phone stays WAY cooler, no heat issues

tl;dr I love it, esp coming from the 5 and didn't want to cash out $700

NO HONOR

>>55760836
thanks that was excellent! Yup it's going for 250 here(im in the US) on amazon and best buy does a price match. How consistently does it get hot like that, and are you doing some heavy shit when you do it? seems pretty sweet though the heat is kindof a bummer as my gs5 didnt do that and has marginally inferior specs. The fingerprint scanner, does it have issues reading when youre sweaty?

Will they ever fix Moto G's network issues?

>>55760935
I'll speak off-rooted because that's when it actually gets hot:

Heavy apps such as games or Snapchat (not as bad recently since they've fixed the app tremendously, but still bad).
Multitasking such as spotify + chrome browsing (yeah, its bad).

Fingerprint scanner never has any issues. It's excellent.

>>55761027
>Snapchat
>they've fixed the app
>Snapprefs still only supports half-year old version

My contract ends August 1st and I can get an S7 for $50 with a 2 year contract. Is this the best deal I'm gonna get? I have a note 3 and I'm going to miss my removable battery and USB 3. Should I wait to see the Note 7? Or maybe wait for the new nexus devices?

I bought a brand new phone over the internet some days ago, which is supposed to come today. Lurking this thread made me realize counterfeit, chinkshit is a thing. The seller told me they were origin al, is there anyway to verify that?

How could I block ads on a stock android phone?

>>55760876
Yeah but has less ram and costs much more, unless you mean the note 3 with the heliox10 which still costs more.

>>55759051
>Samsung
>not OnePlus 3

>>55761276
Ask the seller

>>55761348
>Yeah but has less ram
It has a 3/32 ram/rom version too.

Mi4c 2/16 is the same price of the x600 and while it has 1gb less ram, it comes with SD808 which is much better than Helio X10.

>>55761154
what's your requirement?

>>55761375
Yeah but then you're paying even more...

I'll look up the mi4c tho, hadn't heard of that one

>>55761378
I really just don't want it to be less powerful than my note 3. In an ideal world the phone I get would have a removable battery, usb c, micro sd expansion, and be phablet sized.

Also I'm on sprint right now but I could switch to whatever

>>55761360
Said it was original and that it came from China. Coming from China doesn't mean it necessarily a counterfeit, right?

>Samsung Note 4
Guys, should I use fast charge or not, I read somewhere it's bad for the battery/ phone in the long run, but how truthful is that?

The cameras were disappointing at best tho but that was their only downside.
But then you have the Xperia FUCKING X which keeps the great design and fucks up everything else.
And THEN you have this turd which throws away the greatest thing about Sony phones.

>>55761621
I like their design but your right they always fuck up the camera, which is strange because its Sony and it should be easy considering its their department and they have been making camera's forever...

And your right their fingerprint reader placement is fucking amazing and comfy.

>>55761701
They fuck up the camera by having sub-Pajeet tier software.
The camera app is bad, it's slow and bloated and has retarded useless AR features.
The post-processing is bad and makes 23MP shots blurry and smudgy as fuck.
They should have fired everyone involved in the camera software years ago and replaced them with actually competent people.

Alright lads. A couple of years ago I had a nexus 4 but I got so pissed off at the shite battery life, bugginess and the feeling that a smartphone was invading my life like checking it every few minutes when out with friends that I bought pic related. The nokia has served me well but now I really do need something that can run google maps (new job in a new place) and whatsapp for international calls.

Any recommendations for something that can run those two, has decent battery life and is cheap as shit? Preferable not too big either as I'm used to carrying the nokia in my pocket.

>>55762042
Because the edge features are a meme.
Because it's expensive as fuck despite having the same performance as S7.
Also it's too big.

>>55761994
HTC 10 will be a better daily driver until another contract upgrade is available to you

S7 Edge is a very beautiful phone, but it will get broken and the edge, while very visually striking, will become a nuisance.

Which would would I rather use for 5 minutes? S7 Edge easily. Which one would I rather have every day for over a year? HTC 10 no question.

>>55762170

How much worse is the regular redmi 3 pro than the RN3P? I'm not a manlet but I don't like the idea of a even heavier and bigger phone in my pockets.

Huawei P9 or Nexus 6P?

6P on contract in my country is fucking expensive, but I can't find a store that will ship the device to South Africa as is. Fuck even the S7 is cheaper... Maybe I should just do that..

>>55762308
P9 is a good choice if you can live with EMUI.

>>55762298
I remember reading that the S version has android 6.0 installed too, thats kinda cool I guess if Xiaomi doesn't plan to upgrade the other devices.

>>55762318
I assume there will be a way to flash "stock" android on it? Like CM at the very least

My little brother needs a new smartphone
His samsung neo s3 died
He just wants good battery life and a phone that is good enough to use 3ds emulators

Anything like that for max 250€?

>>55762324
Yep, maybe with MiUi 8 they will update the rest to 6.0. they are also announcing the RN4 tomorrow so R4 and RN4P are probably coming soon too.

>>55762335
Possible but unlikely since its running on HiSilicon Kirin 950 and not a SD.

The Redmi 3S Pro seems like a really good phone.

But for 20€ more you could get the RN3P, so it's kinda expensive for a Xiaomi phone. Even the 2GB version still costs ~110€.

If you could get it for 80-90€, it would be a very neat phone.

>>55759051
>no ips glow

>>55762367
Thats why ill buy a RN3P and not a R3S if they dont make a SD RN4P. Perf/price is stellar on RN3P.

>>55762403
Then get the S7 and install nova + custom icons and shit

Should I get an Apple iPhone SE?

Looks like it's pretty cute for a side bitch.

>>55762412

Kinda convinced on the Redmi Note 3 Pro right now. What is a good website to get one in Europe?

Preferably with as little bloat as possible since I never did the whole ROM thing before and it might take a while for me to do.

>>55762500
http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro

Anons, I wanted to buy Moto G4, but then I realised Moto X 2014 is cheaper in here. I mean, SD 801 and AMOLED are better than overheating SD 617 and LCD, right?

>>55762500
Banggood EU warehouse or TopOne at Ali, kimovil might not show those options. Make sure you select "EU express" or what its called as shipping method.

>>55762371

>>55762500
i ordered mine yesterday at something past midnight (00:10 25/07) came in today at 11am or somehting, ordered from http://shop.gizchina.com/ from their ES warehouse, little bit more expensive but it allows me to have it delivered at work. Haven't gone to collect yet thought, phone is still at reception.

>>55762500
this
>>55762578
>>55762616
Honorbuy EU warehouse, Banggood EU warehouse or TopOne/HKG on Ali. For TopOne you have to select DHL as the method. for Goldway you select sellers shipping method.

Its difficult for me to assess the quality of a website regarding bloating software and delivery time. Don't mind paying a little more if it saves me a shitload of hassle.

Reading the reviews on honourbuy it seems that they already remove the bloat and install the googleplay store and all that stuff. Fast delivery as well.

Don't mind paying 20 dollar more to not have to wait for a phone to be imported from HK.

>>55762572
Battery and camera are shit. Would buy G4.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this http://www.geekbuying.com/item/XIAOMI-Redmi-3S-Pro-4G-LTE-3GB-32GB-Smartphone---Dark-Gray-368614.html, should I?
I found a silver one for $16 less but I dunno man, I think I like grey better.

I kind of regret buying an iPhone SE because now I'm too tied into iMessage to ever buy an Android phone again :(

Does the redmi note 3 pro last? am I able to use it for a couple of years without issues?

>>55762801

Yes you do need to be a prime member to buy the phone but you don't need to be a prime member to use the phone, if someone can buy the phone for you you can just skip Amazon login s

Yes it runs everything with no noticeable lag, I'm shocked how well this phone runs at $60, buttery smooth. Note that is not for videogames as I don't play mobile games. The only downsides I've found are the camera and charging speed, everything else is pretty damn great.

What's with all the hate against the OP3 now? Was just thinking about getting it as the next phone and all the reviews I've seen said it was worth getting.
I can live with a bad screen, mediocre battery and bad camera. Those features aren't too important to me to be honest

>>55763311

Haven't made up my mind at all? Just want to inform myself and make sure I'm not making a huge mistake in getting it but as far as I've seen so far, a €400 OP3 is a great upgrade.

>>55763532
It is a great phone. It just has some issues and a lot of fanboys. And /g/ fucking hates overrated things so they shit all over it to bring the oneplusfags down. It's perfectly legit to get, though I'd still wait on the Axon 7 coming tomorrow because that thing has the OP3 market straight in its sights and will be a superior phone if they uncuck the buttloader. Literally all they need to do to dominate the market.

>>55761994
I hate Samsung so the HTC10

>>55763582
Make a backup, incase of boot loop revert to the backup?

>>55761994

HTC 10.

S7 looks great, but I'd prefer HTC 10's superior audio, and lack of Touchjizz. Also, as someone said the S7 Edgelord looks really delicate/fragile. The HTC 10 will last until my next yearly replacement.

>>55763044
That would be fantastic if they did but I can't see it happening

>>55763044
That would kill the entire purpose of iMessage.

i see no reason to buy anything from HTC that isn't directly supported by google, they might as well be as dead as blackberry

>>55764297
>lg g4
>nexus 5x
>lg g flex 2

i own the latter and it's pretty amazing. It's like lg g3.5. Not AS good as the g4 but very close. It does not overheat like many niggas said when it came out, due to updates that fixed it. And being around 250euro atm you just can't beat it. Only thing the nexus has got on it is the fingerprint scanner tbqh.

I got the s7 edge recently.
The edge screen is a nuisance to use without a case, but with one I feel it's fine.

Hiya!
Can an iPhone 4s be optimized to run ios 9 with little to no lag?

An anon in an old thread said he did all kinds of stuff to his iPhone 4 to optimize it to run smoothly even with all the new updates and do all kinds of stuff.

Looking for a phone around 400 euro mainly want it for youtube, games, browsing. Was thinking about lg g5 is it a good choice?

>>55764297
Disregard that other shitty advice. for 350euro you can get a SD820 phone instead of those SD808 or SD810 shits.

Watch youtube videos of 'how to spot a fake (your phone)', make sure the IMEI on the box matches the one on the phone, check the IMEI's legitimacy (I dunno how, google it).
Usually it'll be pretty obvious if it's fake.

>>55765223
I know what you are implying and yes it's dumb I just didn't want to write even more because I'm in my phone. The camera it's pretty good and the low lightning performance it's average but I don't care. The phone has too many good things for just being 400$.

redpill me on Sony Xperia Z3, is it a good phone to get? at least it looks like it has a very good camera, no?

>>55762102
It actually makes those things look pretty cool imo.
I think he means people accidentally touch the edge which makes it a hassle sometimes. Just gotta learn how to hold it.

Is there a phone that doesn't break after six months if I browse 4chan on it in desktop mode? I killed a Galaxy and a Xperia so far.

No it is not, just fucking watch some comparison video, you dingo.

>What can i do about that?
Nothing. That's just how it works: if you're in signal-poor areas your phone consumes more battery in trying to find a stronger one. Or you could manually set it to GSM if you know you're not going to have HSDPA+ in a certain area for a long time and disable automatic switching.

>>55765597

Anything is better than touchjizz. Get CM on there right now.

>>55765457
No it doesn't. It has slightly less battery because of the superior screen (~15 minutes of use difference) and a worse low light camera that has already improved a lot with software updates since the Chinese versions were being reviewed earlier. Otherwise it's the same, just better screen and DAC tied for best on the market with the HTC 10.

What's the process of going to a custom rom? Obviously I'll be backing up my current system before doing anything, but what else should I take into account before I flash the new rom? Is factory reset through TWRP all there is to it?

>>55765783
As is the international model. Only US and China get cucked with locked down shit.

>>55765854
Where are you getting this? Even L BS who did comparison videos between OP3 and a Chinese release axon said they're virtually identical. He only eventually decided OP3 is ever so slightly brighter. And that guy is the most critical reviewer of the Axon 7.
Axon 7 also doesn't suffer from Pentile. Even after the patch trying to fix the OP3 screen, it will never look as nice as a good AMOLED panel.

>>55765611
Lemme tell ya a secret.
Any device with an sd slot can take any capacity card. You just have to format it correctly. Cards over 32gigs are formatted differently by default than a larger one. Your phone only supports that 32gig format. It will not hurt your 64 to be formatted at all, though you will lose all your data.
And to answer your question, no, it won't run at half capacity. It just won't be recognized at all.

Thanks. But what if we ignored the fact that it could be locked? I don't plan on installing any ROM or rooting anyway.

>>55765641

nonsense

I've been using roughly 20-25 gigs of a 64gb msd on my Moto G from 2013 that specifies 32gb. I just put a bit of music and a few videos on it.

The phone still works as my backup with a 32gb card in it, and the 64gb micro sd works perfectly with my HTC 10.

So I think you only fuck shit up if you go over the 32gb. Maybe.

shit custom rom support and if you want to get the best of your camera you will have to stay stock and keep the bootloader locked. You can unlock the bootloader and keep the DRM functions (which are tied to the camera) tho. Unlocking the BL is a requirement for root by the way, they never found a root method that can go with locked bootloader for MM.

If you have to pay the same amount every month if you upgrade or not, then you should upgrade otherwise you're paying a premium for nothing.

That is the best thing I've heard about the new phones. Actual battery life. Hope the Note 7 is as good.

phones are great when you don't use them

seriously though doze (which only the 7 series and nexus phones have) is the best feature android has

Why does Verizon hate unlocked bootloaders? I brought my exynos version of the s7 edge in to set up a line because they said I could but when I got there the manager said they couldn't set me up cause it was unlocked and it would put me at risk. I went to att and got set up there but why does Verizon hate unlocked bootloaders?

im more excited for the moto z force. I thinking will pull the trigger when they release a really nice headphone amp/dac mod. It give them a reason to put a 3.5 mm jack on it

Holy shit

Europe really sucks

Everyone is just pissed at spending 800 bucks when they could have just got a OP3 for half the price for almost the same thing.
