This fucking case is making me buy a gold Note instead of silver like I originally wanted. It just looks too fucking good.

Why are Samsung phones so ugly

Are there any phones that can record at 4k 60fps?

Bought the OP3, it's shipping out in a week, 15 day 'trial period' so I can return if I want
>$519 CAD


I'm upgrading from a 5x.
I pretty much use basic phone features but my 5x lacked good audio speakers / call quality / headphone quality / battery / overheating issues which actually stops me from playing games and charging the device at the same time.

Did I make a mistake with the OP3?
Or should I hold onto my 5x until the next line of Nexus comes out and decide then?
It doesn't hurt to try out the OP3 but I can always cancel the order before it ships.

>tl;dr
OP3 worthy successor to my 5x?

Had a samsung s3 a few years ago, ysed for 2 years with a case without any issues. Took the case off and had the screen cracked within 3 days. Have been using an otterbox case on my phones consistently since.

>>55885179
The thing is that upgrading nowadays does literally jackshit. Phones are LONG past the point of you seeing an actual performance bump. I can't possibly imagine a scenario where someone who bought a flagship in the recent years going "yeah, this phone is just not handling this app well anymore". We're actually losing features for the sake of phones getting thinner and better looking and aside from barely noticeable camera improvements, the design is playing a much bigger role than before. So in short, you basically ruin one of their major selling points while also ruining the feel of the thing because you turned your sleek sexy machine into an unwieldly wardrobe. I just slap one of those glass protectors on the front MAYBE and call it a day. Never had a problem.

So what's the consensus of the Note 7? Is it significantly better than the S7 Edge?

>>55885309
This thing just screams for a solid black color to hide those fucking hideous acne bumps on the top.

Anyway, the design of this thing looks half finished because it's really jarring seeing the sleek curvy glass abruptly ending into a corner on the back. They should have made it completely curved like the iphone 6.

I got a 5x and I was surprised to find this micro USB to USB type C adapter in the box.
Will this and an S6 micro USB cable allow me to root the device. I mean is it compatible because I've read many negative reviews of type C to type A cables, some were overcharging and others were damaging batteries.

>>55885250
Agreed. I've got an s4 19505 now, and when I put the specs into gsm and compare them with current smartphones they're better, but not £5-600 worth of better. But I take the opposite conclusion, that I'd rather slap a protective cover on it and get as many years as possible before having to upgrade, rather than be forced to spend another 5-600 in 2 years on a fractionally 'better' phone because it's cracked.

>>55885038

Headphone jack is jacked up. It inconsistently crashes the device when I plug headphones in. It's getting increasingly annoying, and I can't put up with it.

Question re removable battery:

I replaced the battery in my phone a year and a half ago and reinstalled the OS. It went from being a bloated, 2 hour battery piece of shit to essentially a brand new phone.

Have the modern non-removable battery phones cracked this problem with new technology? That after 2-3 years the battery will start to fail? Or is this just planned obsolescence so that you have to go out and buy a new phone every 2 years?

Basically I don't want to shell out for a s7 edge which is the best phone on the market imo but then have the thing be barely usable due to battery life in 2018 when I could have got an admittedly shitter LG G5 but be able to replace the battery and have brand new performance again.

I'm sure you'll soon be posting about your buyer's remorse in every single fucking thread again.

>>55885800
No but I'm not the best person to ask as I absolutely hate Samsung phones

>>55885852
It's for my mother, who has a 2010 Nokia dumbphone atm. She wants something for about €150 and given she's probably too dense to use the three navigation buttons on Android, I'd figure a refurbished iPhone 5C (where's there only one fucking button you can press) might serve her well.

>>55885800
The S7 camera is substantially beter than HTC 10.

>>55885983
Hmmm, I see your point. In that case then the fruit phone may be the best choice. You're gonna have to be dealing with lagtunes though, god help you man.

>>55885640
Bump

>>55886116
The second gen Moto E version is still decent, but make sure to get the LTE version (it has a better processor).

>>55886107
You realize the 5X doesn't have a micro sd slot right?

>>55885888
It never was. Its one of the very few phones with vanilla Android. Which means you will get all the juicy updates till the hw cant support it anymore. Not until Samsung or HTC decides to drop a new phone.
Buy a Moto G4 Plus if you like 16mpix and LTE

>>55885640
No, get a certified usb-c cable or it will explode.

>>55886186

So fucking ugly. Samsung once again can't into design.

>>55886410
I was considering getting a HTC10 if I can find a used one under $500, but how's the custom rom scene? It's been on the top of XDA for weeks but I don't know if there's any "Best" rom for it yet.

>>55884975

any chinkphones work on tmobile LTE? I'd be willing to pay a premium if they're small

men, these fucking chinks are so based. I just bricked my redmi note 3 pro, 15 minutes later its unbricked again. These devices are worth every penny, especially if you wanna develop.

The only drawback they have is that flashing cm or some other custom rom doesnt allow you to use some apps that check for root access(think of some banking apps). If you dont use those, don't even hesitate, get a xiaomi.

Sup guys.
Looking for a new phone (upgrading from my Samsung s5).
All in all I liked android, but started to hate Samsung. I´ve always used apple before and kind of wanted to see the "other side".
Should I just return to iphones and wait for the iphone 7 or are there any good android phones out there?
Hated the lag on my s5, needs 2 seconds to open camera, crashes, laggs. Just buggy and feels cheap.
Price does not matter, just give me a high end phone with a good screen, camera and good day to day usage. I´m not falling for this spec madness where you have 6GB of Ram but it´s still super slow.

>>55886484
literally what

>>55886611
kys. There has been more than one perfect recommendation. Don't be a lazy cunt. fgt

So whos going to cop the samsung note 7 bet your black asses i am!!! AHAHAHAHAH

>>55886611
>HTC 10
>iPhone 7 (if you don't mind the lack of headphone jack)
>Oneplus 3

Dear god iPhones are expensive as shit

>>55886661
so the iphone 7 will definitely lose the headphone jack? Would it be still okay to get the 6s plus then or will apple make it useless in 1 year and a half.

Heard the Oneplus3 has a shit camera/screen

>>55886710
Well it´s working, but I kinda can afford an upgrade in the future.

Did the factory reset a couple of times and always updated it. Android 6.0 made things better but it still feels no match to my Iphone 5 that i had before.

Basically what i´m having on my mind is the nexus line because I think a clean android experience would be great.

I dont know what happened though, I mean the s5 worked perfectly fine for like half a year and after the time passed you could feel it getting slower

>>55886700
iPhone 6S is a pretty good device, probably the best on the market right now. Only thing is that Samsung has caught up with Apple on the camera side and the S7/Note7 have now a better camera than the iPhone.

But many people are saying Apple will release a big update to the iPhone line in 2017, so yeah...

Got the OP3 myself, best phone I've ever had. Coming from a S5 too.

>>55886761
6P is good if you want a Nexus. Keep in mind they'll update their Nexus line in october though.

>>55886771
On the one hand I know what i´m getting with the iphone. And its true the camera is really great but it just feels so slow.

I fear that the oneplus3 will get slow too, a problem ive never really had with apple.
Sure the iphone 4 for example does not perform that good anymore, but its almost 6 years old now. Compare that to a samsung device

>>55886803
sure. I mean I got time, just wanted to inform myself a bit (or am I too early).
Another thing I hated was how fuckin long I´ve waited for the software updates. Coming from Germany it was even depending on your carrier. So i waited half a year longer

>>55886684
Not only that but gay and have all the problems listed in >>55885852

>>55886849
I never really had any problems.
It´s a good phone with a nice day to day experience. But its true that they´re a little bit overpriced

>>55886810
>>55886831
Well I'm into rooting and installing custom ROMs and stuff, so even if Oneplus shits itself I can still help myself out.

I'd wait until the iPhone 7 comes out: if you like it you can buy it. If you don't, you can get the 6S (which performs almost exactly the same) for €100 less or wait for the Nexuses.

>>55886905
thanks for your advice!
Tried rooting once -> almost broke my phone because i´m a little bit dumb I guess.
I feel like there´s potential to be all custom and shit, but I just want a clean experience where I dont have to tweak anything x)

So I think I´d better go for either Nexus or Iphone then.
Btw is Sony still a reasonable choice or have they been completely shut off by the other companies?

>>55886611
Youve seen the other side now so go back to iphones (^_−)−

>>55884975

Not to mention that although your device will almost always get the new iOS updates, it'll still cost you in the long run because the software will be optimized for the latest iPhone resulting in a bigger strain on your processor and battery.

>>55887279
>This gets rid of the probably inevitable chink shit on the phone?
Oh fuck no. You do that yourself if you want to and install Google Play if you plan on using that ROM.
Use the Mi unblock to unlock the booloader.

After you do that, install a new rom, CM13 is the best one.

>>55887256
Actually that's a good shop, maybe they installed they global rom already. depends on what you asked on the order. anyway post the screenshot of settings->about when you get it, and check if it's the correct version. V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD is the latest. if you see something else, it's a chinked version.

>>55885250
If you've ever had the misfortune of using a Samsung, you'll know that phones becoming too slow after a year or two is still very much a thing. Definitely not because Samsung intentionally slows them down or anything.

I think they will do something like that. It all seemed pretty legit. However I am new to this chinky business so I'll check the ROM when I get it and take it from there.

If this phone turns out to be slightly alright I might switch to chinkphones and not return to the pieces of crap I had before this.

It was fine beforehand, had taken a drop a couple days before but no signs of damage, just suddenly started getting hot and then the bootlooping started. Worth trying to fix it as long as it ain't costing you anything, if you can afford to replace it might not be worth the time though.

phone VR seems more suited for watching movies and porn than PC. Just the fact that you don't need to worry about snagging a cable with your chair.

You still have to constantly remove and slot in your phone which is annoying especially if you have it in a protective case.

I agree with your point on games being sub par experience on a phone since it lacks the processing grunt and the accurate responsive tracking.

>on pc i could see VR working for like a first person shooter with a mouse and keyboard
You cannot be further from the truth, I tried VorpX on HTC Vive with some FPSes using M+KB for movement and it sucks balls.

FPS designed from the ground up with VR in mind (decoupled head and hand movement, 6DoF movement) works great. A good example despite being made on a shoestring budget would be battle dome.

>or for a racing game
Racing and cockpit based games designed for monitor seem to work fine in VR for traditional games, but the experience is better if it includes head tracking to look around inside the car.

Frankly for outdoor and daily use I'd take AR over VR any day, for home use VR is fine. At least with AR you have the option to include VR as a subset once the technology improves and you are aware of your surroundings.

Exynos S7 Edge now has pretty much the same performance as a 2.4 Ghz Haswell i3 laptop now.

However the same problem remains: you can't run x86 software on it.

Anyway your Note 4 probably has the same performance as a 1.6 GHz Haswell i3 laptop and you could make it function like one if you could find adequate ARM software for the things you want to do on it.

Though in the end I still think getting a used thinkpad is still a much better choice due to upgradability.

What are the main differences between the 5X and the RN3P? Which one is the better phone?

>>55888640
yes having the cursor locked to your head movement is very irritating.

If you disable head tracking then it is like you are looking at a really huge monitor that wraps around a big chunk of your FoV.

If you move your head around with a large FoV and the image does not reflect that change in head movement you start to feel nauseous. If you use edge peek and reduce FoV to make it look like you are playing the game in a cinema on a large screen then you would not feel any nausea but at that point you may as well play on a monitor since the weight of the fucking thing on your head becomes tiring on your neck after a few hours of play.

Using controllers, physically peaking/ducking behind cover/blind shooting and aiming with your own hands is way more fun.

Less strenuous on your neck as well since you get to move around as you would naturally.
They really need to shave off a big chunk of weight on the HMD. It is too front heavy.

I wouldn't recommend you get VR at this stage, wait until the medium matures.

>>55888754
Well damn. The only reason I care about VR is to play STALKER and No One Lives Forever in it. I wouldn't mind playing with motion controllers but if the lack of headtracking will make me sick I'll pass.

>>55888743
>What are the main differences between the 5X and the RN3P?
Google it you lazy fuck.

>>55889024
I would kill for a proper implementation of STALKER in VR. Best you could hope for is someone to mod the ever loving shit out of it to support motion controls and head tracking.

Sounds like an impossible feat without having access to the source code.

I was trying to type this in the last thread but it got locked before I could.

Anyone who's on the fence between the Nexus 6P and the Moto X Pure I too was there and went with the 6P because of the following.

Lenovo owns Motorola now and reports have flooded the net with Lenovo flat out ignoring support emails, calls, RMA process is fucked, they claim to fix defective devices only to ship it back to customers in worse shape than they shipped it out originally

Other issues I've been seeing is the last few months quality control is gone and new Moto X Pures are shipping out with screen issues and bad charging ports.

I wanted a pure because it checks all the boxes but with hearing this and knowing Lenovo closing up warehouses in the states I just had to go with the 6P.

With the 6P at least Huawei is obligated to update their software by Googles standards and their customer service is better than Lenovos (but that's not saying much)

Hopefully you bros on the fence read this and take it into consideration at least.

Edge screen a SHIT.

Dropped my Nexus 6 and shattered the screen. Verizon said it wasn't covered, so I canceled the service, bent over for the botnet and signed up for Project Fi.

I got a Nexus 5x 32gb, and honestly I don't really know how I feel about it. The N6 was probably the best phone I've ever had, if not just a little too big, which is why I opted for the smaller N5x. They are very different phones though. The build quality of the N5x's plastic exterior feels so shitty. I can gently rub my finger across the back of it and hear and feel a definite creaking sound. It just feels cheap as fuck, like it may fall apart in my hands at any time. Going from the N6's AMOLED display to the 1080p LCD display of this phone is also a pain, but I think I'll get used to it.

Software wise, android works perfectly fine, and is super snappy.

Can't wait until the case ships so I can somewhat stop worrying about the phone breaking suddenly. Ordered a Diztronic Ultra TPU.

My Note 3 has died due to water damage (rain) today

It sometimes turns on for about a minute, sometimes restarts mid boot, and sometimes stays with a black screen and blue LED light. When on, the screen is sometimes just red, or dark, or jumping, or CRT looking static, or weird glitches

Any way to confirm it's just the screen (which I can buy cheaply and swap out at home) that's damaged?

If not, I can only really see myself getting a note 4 probably, all other phones don't look great

If I have to buy a new phone, why wouldn't I get a note 4?

if i told you that your model of car is notorious for not being able to start roughly a year into ownership, but don't sweat it, "they fixed it" - how confident would you be in your purchase? as someone that sells and fixes phones, i would not recommend any LG phone to anyone looking for a guaranteed long term investment

Is rn3p the best deal I'm gonna get for its bucks?

>>55894735
That's pretty bad anon... if you can get it cm13 is much better in terms of battery life. Also your battery may be ded in which case get a new one.

>>55894751
Why not the Redmeme note 3 pro? It'll work on all the aussie carriers.

ideal phone for listening to flacs? preference for a nice camera + microSD support.

>>55894783
looks good thanks.

>>55894824
Phones will never have DACs and amps worthy of lossless. Look into HiFiman and similar kinda stuff.

>>55894851
how about if I pair it with an e17k?

>>55894873
Borderline acceptable I'd say. Generally anything worse than a $300 audiophile player + adequate headphones is not good enough for lossless.

Pairing fiios with phones is kinda a way to not deal with shitty chinkplayer interfaces etc. The resulting sandwich looks extremely ugly, though.

>>55894851
And yet my LG V10 has the same DAC and Amp as the Fiio X7..

What's the newest OS I can get on Note 2?

>>55884975
So when will the k6000 premium be released?

>>55889784
I'm sure you can do better than them, kevin.
Where can i find commit/projects you are involved into? I'm waiting

M7 is old, and battery is probably old too.

A year ago I bought a refurb M7 in perfect condition and I struggled to get 4 hours of SoT after trying every single ROM and everything out there. I ended up using the GPE 5.1 Lollipop ROM for max stability and performance (CM13 was never stable for me).

Ended up giving it to my sister. My new RN3P has 12hrs SoT so I was happy to get rid of the M7. My sister broke the charger port on the M7 eventually so I bought her a Redmi 3S. That thing also gets about 12 hours SoT, benchmarks better than the M7 and was only $115 USD... just get a new phone.

>>55894951
And yet it's a special one. What other phones with high quality DACs can you remember from the top of your head?

Secondly, X7 is mid-grade.
Thirdly, rigging matters.

Also, the chip is delta-sigma; and I kinda personally dislike delta-sigmas. Only really good for electronic music.

The technology of the batteries is still the same. So after x amount (300-600 or something) of complete charging cycles you will still see degradation. It doesn't help that these batteries degrade a certain percentage every year, even if you dont use them. Most manufacterers do offer a battery replacement service but that shit is expensive most of the time.

So great battery life the first year, 80- 90 percent the next year and after that it goes downhill fast.

Moto E 2nd gen. Android 6 and no bloatware to speak of.

Is the edge a gimmick? I found an Samsung S6 Edge the other day, I've disabled most of the features because I just found them annoying. Has anyone actually got any use out of it?

>>55888373
Uh, like not at all, for /g/ shit means it doesnt have an unnecessarily high res. Check out reviews, most of them agree to the choice of this panel. It has a Built in srgb tuner in case uoure a huge faggot too

>>55888461
Camera is not the pixels, way shittier cam than op3, cant even shoot raw

Installed Pooinloo kernel on my RN3P and it increased pooscore by about 7k points.

It also has improved battery life, it allows underclocking to 19mhz on the GPU on idle. Thank you Pajeet.

I have an android now, what's this cool shit you can do that all you android fags keep talking about?

>>55889652
what would this mean? I have ran a cm13 before on my rn3p.

I don't know shit about phones, but right now I'm using the iPhone 5c but thinking of switching it for an lg g4 should i?

>>55889652
Does this mean it's usable? I gave up on cm13 after new issues coming up each day and it causing problems with my job.

But miui8 does not have a SINGLE dark theme.

What happens if my battery runs out while I'm installing fw with odin?

>>55895382
LG G4 is a garbage phone with so many problems.

>>55889288
Because apparently 6 8 9 and the story as we know it, is false, all made up by 7 who is a 1 with a boner...
7 never 8 9, it was 6 all the time.

>>55895471
what phone can I get that is under $250, has a replaceable battery and expandable memory?

>>55895491
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, although it doesn't have a removeable battery.

OP3 heat management is God tier

Huawei p9 plus or oneplus 3?

>Good stock software and updates

Got HTC 10 at JB for 1000AUD, about 760USD.

You can probably find it around 100 dollars cheaper at least online but then you also have to be careful not to get scammed with a counterfeit product.

Why do people dislike the Z5, it's literally the X Performance if it was good
>Fingerprint sensor
>IP-68
>One of the best stills cameras on a phone
>Gets Marshmallow
>Great design and looks
Biggest downs are the 1080p screen (but really at that PPI can you tell the difference) and the retarded volume rocker placement

I'm looking for my main phone that will hopefully last a few years my S4 mini died recently.
Nothing fancy, Calls, Texts, Access to wifi and a lot of memory. I'd appreciate any help.

>>55893017
Op haa unlocked bootloader and the support for oneplus one seemed to be really good

>>55884975
Fuck Sammy and this locked up phone design bullshit.

Why can't they appeal to Note buyers for fuck's sake? I would even buy it with the new McHigh price tag, but no removable battery? Fuck that.

LG V10 or G4 it is. V10 is similar in size, so that's the winner so far. (Upgrading from a Note 4.)

>>55896206
Water resistance is better for marketing than a removable battery. Just get a battery case or power bank like the rest of us.

>>55895998
It has the Qualcomm Overheat 810™, that's the biggest drawback.

How is EE in the UK friends? They seem to be offering a 16Gb contract for £20/m.

Is there any phone out right now worth me buying instead of waiting for the new Nexus?

Guys is the "mediatek is shit" meme real? I've been looking at the new Redmi Pro and it looks fucking jizzworthy.
>fucking 10-Core 2.5 ghz CPU

Give it back Tyrone

Use your brain ffs curved screen is a useless gimmick that can annoy in some situations (landscape shitposting) but it has a bigger battery.

New thread?

Xiaomi.

>>55897029
Thank you.

Since when it's common to say memory to storage here

>>55896823
I didn't think it was anything more than a gimmick, I was asking to see if anyone had any counter points. I s'pose the lack of response should've been answer enough.
Also, didn't know about the battery, cheers.
