What are downs of a Samsung S7?

- Touchjizz
- Knox

Other than that, I cannot think of any?

I need a smartphone which I can root, and then proceed with downloading 3rd party software (not google store) on it and using it.

I also want to cut of the spying activities of all the apps, but still use it.

>I need a smartphone which I can root, and then proceed with downloading 3rd party software (not google store) on it and using it.

Pretty much every phone can do that. But samsung phones specifically are harder to root because of knox and how locked down they are.

touchwiz aside, it's a good phone. absolutely over priced, annoyingly locked down, but a good phone. there are other options if those are your main goals.

>provider only has 32g Nexus 6Ps

Should I still go for it?

Thinking about installing CM tonight on my z2, anyone tried any of the newest nightlys on the z2 they can recommend? I can't be bothered with endless bugs

>>55811402

>>55811453
do you wanna get cucked with no micro sd card?

Sony Xperia z3c, still one of the Best phones in the market. Name a better compact phone.
Protip: you cant.
I honestly cant find a better phone (compact) so im staying with this one for one more year atleast.

>>55811482

That's why I'm concerned. HTC 10 is overpriced, and I'm not sure if they have OP3s..

>>55811498
htc 10 is 599 on their own website right now. brand new s7 would be somewhere around the 650 range. i would go with the htc 10 if i were you.

>>55811416
>>55811477

So, there is only pretty much the OP3 which you can root and do all kind of stuff without losing your guarantee.

Too bad it's huge, and has an average at best screen.

>>55811524
HTC 10 here is even fucking more expensive than the S7, and even a bit more expensive than the S7 Edge.

No way I am gonna get that for what it offers.

>>55811576

>>55811622
Europe, Germany

Axon7 meme, once available here will also cost 450€.

The S7 right now is available for 499€.

Now I just somehow need to know, whether in the future there will be a way to root the phone without triggering Knox.

At the moment, there is absolutely no method to do it.

Is there even a market for phones that cost $150 dollars? My Droid Turbo's screen just died, and the deductible is $150.

In other news, what flip phone won the war? I feel like I'm going to need a burner soon.

>>55811640
just check ebay for wherever you live. i know that the global variant of the phone goes for cheaper than it normally does on htc's own site. if you buy new from a seller on ebay, you still get that uh oh protection for a year regardless.

just be smart about it.

>Now I just somehow need to know, whether in the future there will be a way to root the phone without triggering Knox.

hahahaha no.

>>55811669
there are plenty of phones going for around that cheap, anon. there's even one listed in OP.

pretty sure there was that blu phone that was released on amazon with ads that just got blown the fuck out too. for like 50 bucks.

Looking for a midrange phone around $450. On T-Mo and the stuff I really want are good battery, USB-C, a screen no larger than 5.2", and easy to root. All I do are web browse and take a call once in a blue moon.

>>55811487
This to be honest senpai

Any drawbacks to the oneplus 3?

I was thinking of buying one, but the price difference between that and the S7 (for me) is only like 70 bucks. However I never bought a chink phone so it scares me

what I like from Oneplus 3
-price
-doesnt have touchjizz
-double sim (I have to different sims for when I travel to my home country)
-usb type c

what prefer from the S7
-design
-waterproof
-screen I guess, but I don't really see the point of going over 1080p on a phone, and both are supposed to be oled

What do you think I should choose /g/? Are there any other options worth considering?

>>55811751
provided yours doesn't break in 24 hours like mine did, oneplus 3 should be fine.

>>55811487
I have a sxzc3 and desu best phone still, very smooth

>>55811785
how did that happen? could you get a replacement easily?

>>55811811
hardware failure 24 hours in. rear camera and flashlight just completely failed to the point where android didn't even know there was one attatched, as the option for it completely disappeared inside the rom. factory reset didn't help. they offered a replacement, i said nah.

and now i have the moto x pure for 250. saved 100 dollars and gained a micro sd card. all in all pretty good date with destiny.

is the p9 lite one of the best budget phones available now?

Played Pokémon while using this battery pack, but after 20min of quick charging it went to shit and my battery percentage kept dropping.

This is a screenshot of my phone charging, no games running.

Is it the shitty Pokémon app not letting me able to charge / play at the same time or is it my 5x needing way too much power for its uses?

>>55811327
Any recommendations for Ubuntu phones?

>>55811960
5x just has an awful battery life in general. Seems it doesn't charge fast enough too

I've got this no name (Amaya) power bank, 15.000mAh for my phone.

What's the worst that could possibly happen?

Anyways, what's my plan of action with the 5x?
> Do I sell it now for $400-$450 CAD and use my dad's left over iPhone 4s until a good $500 phone comes out?
> Wait for new Nexus? Then sell for $350-400
> Buy a Moto X Pure

What would be the best phone for up to €250 (~US $275)?

>>55812133
Phone implodes triggering a domino effect of nearby electronics and you die in your sleep because you decided not to shill out an extra $15 you gook

>>55812034
wait until they'll port it to OP3

I finally fell for the meme, what now?

Posted from my Redmi Note 3 Pro

What mid-range Snapdragon SoC is actually good? I've heard 615 is stuttering sometimes, and now Moto G4 with 617 is overheating and lagging as hell.

Galaxy s6 is currently 428€, s7 is 583€. Is it worth the more dough or should o go with s6? G5 is around same price but is ugly as shit

>>55812324
616 and 617 are mediocore, 625, 650 and 652 are good. If you consider the 430 a mid-range SoC it's good, too.

>>55812422

Can someone recommend a phone with:

>Good camera
>Won't smash from falling

>>55812422
The rounded sides but flat top reminds me a LOT of Nokia's phones around 2010. Those bezels man, Sony listen to us please. You can do omnibalance without huge ass bezels, just make 2 tiny ones the same size. ITS FUCKING MAGIC. i would never drop boatloads of money on any phone bar a sony, but those bezels have to go. Even the edge to edge XA is ruined by this.

Fingerprint reader is lightning fast, totally worth it. It heats up like most other phones. MiUI is pretty shit but the bloatware itself is kept to a minimum assuming your get the thing straight out of China.

2nd SIM and MicroSD are mutually exclusive features; you can only pick one. Camera is pretty good as are speakers. Haven't had a chance to test the battery life (literally got it earlier in the day).

also can you remove the bloatware and just install nova launcher or any other one ?

where i can download safe version of lightning browser?

>niggers not getting premium phones

I really wouldn't even bother with that cheap shit unless your old one broke and you desperately needed something just to use. If you are gonna use that shit every day you may as well get the premium device with good battery life and jazz and not the chinky plastic shit. Just my two cents.

>>55812547
>recommend one good premium phone worth the price

>>55812597
Any IPhone. Get over your stupid android fixation and come to the masterrace.

I have both the Redmi note 3 pro and Redmi 3s.

Best memes I've fallen for.

Just uninstalled FB messenger and some GApps I don't use. What else can I do to add battery life? I'm unrooted.

>>55812422
I really want to like it, I'm praying it's not shit. I don't want to get a phone other than a Sony but unless they step it up they're fucked.

Even if not, you'll be having issues with it.

>touchscreen
sometimes doesn't register your touches, escpecially when the screen is turned off - doubletap to wake and knock-code doesn't work at all, very often)
>charging
at some point the phone just decides that it will charge very slowly, forever
>notification LED
wrong color lots of times, sometimes blinks for no reason, sometimes it doesn't when it should
>random overheating
and I don't mean gaming, where it's quite normal or, let's say, acceptable. G4 gets really warm just by browsing the internet or using messaging app.
>lots of minor software bugs
Too many of them to remember. I had exactly same feelings as in my previous phone with CM on it - feeling of unfinished product

Don't buy it. You're wasting your money. As long as the camera (it's great, really) isn't your top and #1 priority for the price, go for something else.

My Note 4 has died.
About to pull the trigger on a nexus 5x, any reason not to?
Only real issues I see are average battery life and no microsd slot, not a big deal to me as I'm a shut-in NEET.

not sure about the audio quality, but moto z force seems to be one of the only phones with an 'unbreakable' screen. Camera is supposed to be decent
HTC 10 has really good audio quality, decent camera, survived falling face down 30+ times before it died in phonebuffs droptest

>flagships for 70% of other OEMs flagships
>kickass design
>absolute battery-life wizards
>Compact variants that didn't compromise on battery life or performance

Currently torn up between these 3 choices, help me decide /g/:

>Buy Redmi note 3 pro now, buy next years flagship (nexus) phone

Not sure if i will get LTE coverage since 800hz is not supported, it does support the two other LTE band of my provider tho.

>Buy ZTE Axon 7, buy new flagship in 2 years
Same problem, only 2 bands supported, not sure if it will be €400 or more expensive, like usual in Belgium (cheapest GS7 costs ~ 670$, iphone 6s 16 GB ~ 715$)

> Buy the new nexus flagship this year
Will probably be rather expensive since HTC makes them, they will make the HTC10 obsolete if the nexus phone is much cheaper. Also afraid to miss out with new SOC's just around the corner. If only they would release their phones in Q1.

what would you advise /g/, considering i find these things important:

1) Battery life (replaceable is a real plus)
2) Good performance for regular tasks (browsing, youtube, texting etc)
3) good screen quality
4) durable (so no glass)
5) quick charge would be nice
5) least important: design, camera, usb c, microsd is not important as long as i have 64gb+ storage.


>>55814023
Where did you read this? Didn't know SD 820 had issues.

>>55814409
>kickass design
but they were explicitly looked down upon due to their angular design and how it hurts in the hand for extended periods
the compacts were literally the only devices praised, the rest were essentially "well this is the best sony has to offer I guess, still not as good as a samsung"

>>55814429
who's your provider?

I'd probably advise waiting until the new Nexus launch, and then going ahead with the redmi (or axon 7 if it goes on sale), or if the new nexus is that amazing, just getting it.

>>55814429
>Not sure if i will get LTE coverage since 800hz is not supported
Don't buy any phone in Europe that doesn't support band 20, it's the most popular band and you won't get reception 99% of the time even the phone supports 3 (1800) and 7 (2600).

>>55811574
>S7 is 1000-120

Dafuq

which phone should i get LG G5 OR S7?
i am very particular about camera and video performance on phone.

>>55814741
s7

>>55814618
Tell me about it, HTC 10 sold out at all local retailers in my vicinity, could only find one silver 32GB version in stock at dicksmith. Everything else is sold out everywhere unless I go to bum fuck nowhere or order online and wait.

Meanwhile s7 edge is in stock fucking everywhere.

Can't be fucked waiting for delivery online as I need to replace my broken phone quickly this weekend. I always grab a Black or Grey phone since that color goes with everything, but if silver is all I can find in stock then so be it.

Frankly if S7 edge had an equivalent AMP and DAC then I would have considered it. I don't know how the S7 edge build quality compares, it seems flimsier.

>>55814508

proximus, almost all providers over here support:

800 MHz (band 20), 1800 MHz (band 3) en 2600 MHz (band 7) .

>>55814565

well, guess i'll just have to wait for the new nexus phone then.

Any cheap (around €100) chinkphones that do support band 20 that will last me till april (new flagship releases) and that will perform better than my galaxy s3? It could die any moment now (random reboots, lines in the screen, battery (1 y old) needs to be charged at least twice a day, slow as fuck to start apps).So i'm really in for an upgrade. But i would like to wait to see if the new SOC's bring better battery life.

Leagoo Elite 5 / Oukitel K4000/ K6000/ Pro looks like the only normal models that supports all bands.

http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/leagoo-elite-5,oukitel-k4000,oukitel-k6000,oukitel-k6000-pro

All below €100 except the K6000 Pro which is around €130.

>>55814834
apparently Axon ZTE 7 does support band 20, willmyphonework.net said it doesn't, but i'm guessing with SD820 it does? Didn't find any european reviews yet.

So is it worth getting if this year's nexus flagship isn't amazing?

>>55814963

any offers comparable to the RN3P that do support band 20? Willing to go up to 200 euros if it has usable/stable custom roms.

I went to the store today to check out some phones and that OS on Samsungs is really silly for some reason, unlike Sony's and full Android.
HOWEVER, for bigger-phone choice I think Samsung Note 4-5 phones are really something. Design, display, functionality...its a really good phone by all means.

Smaller phone choice: iPhone SE

Overall phone choice: STILL Samsung Galaxy S7 if you don't mind the OS, Nexus 6p, Sony Xperia Z5, even HTC 10 if you don't mind ugly desig.

There's this cheaper version Sony Xperia X which as I've heard has lower specs, HOWEVER it doesn't seem to be a bad choice for that price range and if you're looking for a phone for usual stuff, it's not bad.

>>55815016
How important is LTE for you anyway? RN3P supports both 3G bands 900MHz, 2100MHz on Proximus. so you could use that until the next Nexus.

Doogee F7 (MTK X20) is pretty good at €160 if it ever becomes available.

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/DOOGEE-F7-5-7--2K-Screen-Android-6-0-4GB-32GB-Helio-X20-MT6797-Deca-Core-Smartphone-21-0MP-5-0MP-Type-C-Touch-ID---White-363466.html

Otherwise it's all MTK6735/6753 variants of which the K6000 Pro or Ulefone Power are probably the best.

>>55814780
thank you i am about to buy a new phone tomorrow. Aside from camera and stuff i also want to know if the S7 can be customized /g/ style you know with all the tech apps ,rooting etc. no hurry i am fine with the phone as it is for like a few months first..

So rooting the Blu R1 means you can't get OTAs obviously. But that means the band12 support won't come either. Is there any reason we can't get band12 from a custom rom?

>>55815102
This is where things get a little tricky. The US variant of the S7 houses a snapdragon, with a locked bootloader. It's a pain in the ass to deal with those, therefore if you're in the states, don't expect shit.
However, if you're living anywhere else, the exynos isn't locked and development is already on its way http://www.xda-developers.com/first-booting-build-of-cyanogenmod-13-shown-off-on-exynos-based-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
But Exynos are notoriously hard to develop for so you'll be waiting quite some time.

The G5 definitely isn't better in that regard. If rooting, flashing, etc. is very important to you, definitely get the upcoming Nexus, the Nexus 6P, or OnePlus 3.

what is the best rom for the nexus 5x?

Best Phone between 150-200€ with 4-4,5 inches?

>>55815294
ok thank you man. I live in singapore so its the exynos version. I am in no hurry to get a new phone anyway. But im not sure if the nexus or one plus is selling in my area. The htc 10 finally is going to be on sale sometime next month and will it be better? Camera and rooting,flashing etc.

Best feel.

I kinda feel like I'm about the only person in this thread who's actually happy with the quality of his OP3

>>55815368
I don't have personal experience with the HTC 10, but maybe someone else here can answer you about how open it is for rooting, flashing, etc.
The Nexus and OnePlus both should be selling in your area. I know the 6P has a 128gb model for like S$750 (at mobyshop I think), and the OP3 should be going for around S$649 (at lazada). I don't know if you use either of those stores though!

I have a big fat chink memephone and I want to know if those smartphone pen things are worth having.

>Week and a half with Moto G4
>Still have to find a game that makes it dip fps
The screen is kinda annoying with those extra .5 compared to last year's, would be a 10/10 with a 5"

So my Galaxy S3 is finally kicking the bucket after 4 years. I'm in the market for a new phone I can just plug my Verizon sim card into. What's the best phone I can get for $200 or under? Being able to play Pokémon GO would be a plus. Would the Moto G4 be the best bet?

ZTE is a shit company.

They are shitting out phones every half a month to a month on average.

I want the Note 7, but I'm disappointed that it is looking like 4GB RAM instead of 6.

Is it still gonna be good?

>>55816135
If >>55816085 is correct, then the issue will be software.
If they do support it or unlock the bootloader, than not much really, it's just premium chinkshit like the OP3.

>>55815934
>processing power per unit of cost
~$160
RN3P - SD650. the best by far for the budget minded.

~$300
Zuk Z2 or Le Max 2 - SD820 and that's the cheapest SD820 phones on the market.

>>55811487
Z5 compact, got mine a few days ago and it's brilliant.

Had an Xperia Z before for like 3 years, got an M5 to replace it that started falling apart within a few days and exchanged it for the Z5c for the same price. I was hesitant to get it due to the lower res screen but I don't really notice it and other than that and the front facing camera it's better than the M5 in every way.

SD615 is an overheating, throttling, exploding piece of shit.

>>55816308
Is the 616 any better? I hear the 617 is almost as bad.

>>55816328
They are supposedly fixed versions of the 615 with more band support. which probably just means they differently binned or underclocked.

The Moto G4 with the SD617 is definitely having overheating issues as well.

Can we talk about battery life?

1. Is the old advice "run the battery to almost empty before charging, and charge to full" still true?
2. Is the old warning to never let a battery get completely empty also still true?
3. Are there any downsides to quick charging or wireless charging?

don't bother with that battery nonsense. let it run down, don't let it run down, charge it for hours, charge it for twenty minutes, who cares? I doubt it makes a big enough difference to justify the hassle.

on a slightly related note, my m8 just dies whenever I hit 5% and I don't know why. to add insult to injury, the phone always loses some app data whenever it shuts down due to insufficient battery. I can reboot it myself just fine, but when the battery dies, there's always SOMETHING missing. one time I was signed out of the youtube app, one time I lost my klwp theme, one time I even lost my neko atsume data ;_;

Honestly what is wrong with s7 edge?

At worst the tactile button in the middle wears out over time. And has some useful features that could come handy in daily use like being water resistant.

If edge were not overpriced compared to HTC 10 and had DAC/AMP that was on par I would have easily considered it.

Slightly better back facing camera, wireless charging, and water resistance is not worth 200 AUD more.

Can't see any obvious flaws beyond that unless its build quality is flimsy.

>>55821961
MIUI is pretty cute anyway so I might just roll with this. Battery life seems insane, only 50% with 8h screen on + streaming from Twitch is insanely good.

>inb4 redmeme
It's an option, but I'm pretty against the whole importing from China thing.

>>55823072
Well, since its a Chinese phone it might only have BDS, which only works China. After looking at some spec sheets, it has GPS, BDS and GLONASS.

>>55823142
Don't worry. Redmi phones contain spyware, you do right to avoid them.

im looking at the specs between a oneplus 3 and s7 edge

they're pretty much the same from what i can tell, except that the oneplus' battery lasts less
is this true?

I did something really stupid using TWRP and now it can't mount /data and storage (probably got corrupted), how can I fix this?
It doesn't seem like it's bricked or anything, but I don't know what to do exactly.
I cannot wipe data or factory reset as the recovery tool cannot mount /data.

The phone model is the regular Samsung Galaxy S3 (I9300)

If cost is not a factor because it is free (contest), is there any reason I would choose a different phone over the S7 edge?

>>55823161
GPS, GLONASS, and BDS are three different services, the general term is satellite navigation and not GPS so I assumed you already knew it had GPS (because I also assumed you would research the basic specs before asking dumb questions).

you guys think there's going to be a Nexus 5x price drop in EU sometime soon? it's so much cheaper in NA but I don't really follow the smartphone market at all. You'd think there'd be a drop sometime soon after the new models are fully unveiled and/or when they hit the stores?

>cause i dont want them seeing all my deleted furry porn. obviously
Obviously, but again why don't you think a factory reset will be enough? Do you really think they're going to go through all the effort of trying to recover your shit? Unless you're already on some sort of watch list you have nothing to worry about (I'm not sure if you have had illegal shit on your phone or if you're genuinely embarrassed about your taste in porn).

>>55823403
nah its genuinely furry. and i dunno man ive heard enough stories of techanons screwing around and looking at people's shit. just afraid worst case scenario is someone makes it known that im a huge faggot kek.

>>55823553
That shit might happen (still very unlikely) if you happen to be a hot female and the tech sees you bring the phone in. In order to discover your stash they'd have to run recovery on every single phone that comes in, wasting time that should be spent wiping the phone (yeah, they're not going to assume that you did it), running a diagnostic, and then packing the phone up ready for resale.

>>55823654
>hot grill
well we're safe there

i know im just being paranoid, but if i encrypt now and then do another factory reset will that encrypt the data from before my first factory reset?
you know, all the data that's still there just marked overrideable?

No, because as far as the phone is concerned that data no longer exists (it may technically exist, at least in part, unless overwritten).

yeah, that's what i figured.

now what if i download 16GB of pictures, and fill all those spots. would all trace of my old stuff be gone?

Got a redmeme note 3 pro and flashed cm 13 on it. Everything works on it except the network is super unstable. It drops frequently and I no longer get 4G. I tried flashing the modem from the MIUI fastboot rom but didn't change anything.
Anyone have a similar issue/advice? I really don't want to go back to MIUI

>>55823857
Flip that shit family. Make some bux and put it towards uncucking yourself out of verizon

>>55821936
I never thought I'd be the one to say this but MiUI is actually pretty good. I'm honestly only afraid of ads suddenly appearing everywhere or my data being uploaded into chink severs.

>>55824173
Any form of data that will fill the space will do, it has nowhere else to go other than to overwrite the old data and recovering that would be extremely difficult if not impossible (I do believe it is possible somehow under certain circumstances depending on the storage technology, but I could be mistaken).

>>55823166
But like, what should I get?

Is blackberry security a meme or is it actually worth getting it over standard android?

>>55824206

Huh, wow. They go for about $150 still. Neat.

>>55824553
Yeah. Girlfriend just sold hers for 130 in shit condition.

Been using my UMI Super in bed for the last 2 hours and the battery has only dropped 12%. WiFi and brightness at around 10%

>>55824720

Cool, that's awesome. This one is in great shape. Though, I'm not leaving Verizon since my plan is $40/mo unlimited (thanks to my workplace, US government discount ftw), but it would be fun to have another device to fiddle with on network. Maybe I'll get a 5x or something.

>>55823933
64 bit I think

What's the best budget smartphone? I need a new phone and all I care is that it has a long battery life and that it's reliable. $130-$260 is the price range I'm looking at.

>>55825010

5x at that price, $250 unlocked on amazon

>>55825010
>Long battery life

Redmi Note 3

Should i buy the OP3?
Pros and cons of it?

>>55825153
seems to be a really well rounded phone. the only con that I can see is no sd slot

>>55825135

Is the Redmi Note 3 better than the Redmi 3? Or should I wait for the upcoming Redmi phone?

Ideas of shit to buy off of Amazon for a Motorola moto X pure? Ordering through a buddy who has prime and prime needs a $35 or up order for free next day shipping.

Already have a water and shock resistant hybrid Case -$20
High amp rapid charge dual port car charger $-10

Ideas? Already have a good 64GB microSD card

>>55811327
poor what is a good phone for under $80 that works with boost mobile

i dont think the BLU r1 works with boost

>>55811327
I am still using my note 2.

I even have a rare brown one.

RN3P benchmarks twice as high or better than all the 5in Redmi.

>>55817584

I thought about the 5X, but I heard the battery is pretty shoddy. Being satisfied with my Nexus 4 I was thinking about the 5X and the 6P, but the 6P is too large, I will look up more reviews on the 5X, if the battery life is decent then that's probably what I will go for. It's got USB-C, easy to root, and band 12 support, which is everything else that I want.

about to buy an s7 soon, my last smartphone was the Note II. How different will it be. And how different will the camera and video recording be?

I'm looking for a new phone for under $200 that is compatible with T-Mobile. I'm upgrading from a Nexus 4. Would the Xiaomi phones that I keep seeing brought up be a good choice?

Which one is better in terms of battery life, Oneplus 3 or Nexus 6P? For an average daily use with no heavy games.

>mediakek

About a year ago when I was shopping for a phone there was an excel spreadsheet that was very helpful in deciding. Is there an up to date one?
It allowed filtering by price, screen size, resolution, RAM, etc.

>>55825889

Camera and video will be absolutely fantastic on the Note 7. Software is still Touchwiz, so, meh.

>>55825899

Yep.

>>55826016

Just tell us your budget and we can suggest something.

>>55825645

Battery life improved a bunch in latest android N preview

>boost mobile

kys

>finally get Axon 7
>it's great
>fast charge it
>it heats up
>starts to throttle
REEEEEEEEEEE
I can't fucking use this thing in this state. Why the fuck are companies pushing fast charge when it always just makes your shit overheat?

>>55825376

Power bank would be a good idea. Get one from Anker. You can get a 3000mAh one from them for like $10

Should I buy the HTC 10 now, or wait for the Marlin/Sailfish? The only real problems I see with the 10 are the screen size (I prefer a bit larger) and the thickness (I prefer a bit slimmer), but neither are a dealbreaker.

>>55826059
Should have used dash charge :^)
But seriously, there's not much you can do about the heat besides leave it alone while charging or switch to a slow-charging cable.

>>55826094
That's what I'll pretty much have to do. Axon 7 becomes unpleasant to use when it heats up and then you have to wait a while for it too cool off enough to work right. Phones overheating and throttling has always been an issue for me, especially in the summer and this just ruffles my johnnies.

>>55826120
It shouldn't overheat while unplugged though, considering the SD820 is a lot more efficient. You can even use the phone without frying an egg unlike the 6P.

>>55826129
Yeah, but it retains the heat for a while after the charge. that's the pain.

What's the best way to find out what's draining battery on Android? I run a ton of shit like root, Xposed, Adblock and all that stuff but I want to see if there's anything specific that's ruining my battery

>>55826016
>>55826028
300 USD for use in the US

Fucking viral isn't working anymore.

Any YouTube background listening apps for android I can download without having to pay a monthly fee like a cuckenstien?

>>55826028
>Battery life improved a bunch in latest android N preview

That's encouraging. It's $270 right now on B&H and I think I will pull the trigger.


>>55826163

I usee better battery stats.

>>55826239
Just use mixcloud

>>55826255

It's a little cheaper on Amazon actually

>>55826059
Stop using your phone while charging, you retard.

>>55826342

I need to pay sales tax if I order on Amazon.

>>55826400

Gotcha, BH it is

>>55826309
Thanks for the suggestion, but I wanted to listen to Louis Rossman videos on youtube in the background, not music.

>>55826433
He has a podcast. Go download overcast and subscribe to him. Overcast allows you to save stuff to listen to while offline.

>>55826081
Funnily enough I was just looking at power banks as they were in my suggested box. Are Anker products good? I mean I see 4.7+ star reviews as an average with thousands of reviews so they can't be terrible.

Was thinking of grabbing the 5000mah charger for $15 and 2 of their 6ft cables.

>>55826487
What's the name pham

>>55826590

Yes. I will always shill the shit out of them. They make absolutely fantastic products and their support is top notch. Never had a problem and they always go the extra mile for their customers.

>>55826624
Sorry, nevermind. Just get him on google play's playerfm app. He doesn't upload his stuff on apple so he doesn't show up.

Another podcast i'd suggest is stuffyoushouldknow. It's 700+ episodes and not so dry hosts have changed my life

Thanks for the spoonfeed man. Now I have some stuff to listen to for work

Will the OP3 hold up against the Nexus phones? If they have a base of 32GB for the higher-end phone, it'd be ridiculous.

How is the audio quality on the Exynos S7?
I don't want anything audiophile-level, but if it's shit I'd rather go for the HTC 10...

>>55827356
Headphone output or speaker?

>>55827148
>>55827148
On paper? Yes. The Op3 is an amazing phone. Realistically? Probably not. Have heard nothing but complaints from people in regards to the OP series of stuff. My buddy had the OPO and OPX and they both had yellow screen issues, his OPO started having headphone problems etc. Customer support was unhelpful.

Where as the Nexus line, regardless of also being chink phones at least are backed by google. That and newegg and everyone really has had price drops lately on the 6P. $370 last I saw for the 32GB variant graphite 6P. $410 for the 64GB model.

>>55827458
Well, I meant more in regards to the newer Nexus phones coming out around Oct. The OP3 on paper is great yes, but I'm looking to replace my phone with one that I won't have to upgrade 8 months later.

I'v noticed that only iphone users use cases
why is this
i get that the 6 can bend
but why?
Are they that fragile?

>>55825232
Anyone here with an OP3 that sees the 64 gig limit as an issue?

>>55827694
because users hold onto those devices significantly longer than android users and also enjoy higher resale values when they do decide to part with the device

>>55827745
depends entirely on how big your music/animu folder is. or what you use your phone for.

my music library is pushing 50. and 64 never actually means 64. more like 58.

>>55827694
>I'v noticed that only iphone users use cases
that's just not true

>>55827816
And my music library is 150 GB. Not a problem since I can just use google music.

>>55827886
I'm not always in an area with a good enough network to stream my shit. My friend lives in a cell phone deadzone in vermont. 350 acres of forest with no tower nearby. this is what i need the space for.

tv shows and shit for traveling or just general space to move things to and frow help a lot too. if your phone fits your needs, by all means. but 64 gb is getting tight these days.

>>55827694
Every iPhone without a case has a broken screen. They learn from the first broken iPhone and $800 ass raping.

>>55827745
Just put in a 128gb shark and be done.

Oh wait...

>>55827816
My music collection is pretty big... Im constantly under 400mb of free space on my g2 which is why I wasn't upgrade. Is there anything similar to the op3 at he same price point with microsd?

Not many people care that the Note 7 doesn't have user replaceable battery and IR? It'll definitely have mono speakers and less than 6GB RAM though!

>>55827952
I noticed the prices on $ S7 dropped lately. If you don't care much for having freedom with your device, you could find it for somewhere around €550.

>>55820637
32gb? Mtc19v

What's the best USB C phone out there?

Has anyone bought a Moto G 3rd gen 16gb off the Moto Play store this year?

I would like to know if they shipped the XT1540, XT1543 or XT1548 model.
