Because I posted it right before a new thread, reposting

I need a secondary LTE phone to use as a portable shitposting machine (Heavy web browsing, YT, 4chan,...), music player and most of the time being a hotspot for around 100 Euro. I don't care if it's used or not.

Only places I can use since I'm a Slavshit where Amazon nor eBay ships to

English version of the eshop in my country: https://www.alzashop.com/sim-free-mobile-phones/18843445.htm

used stuff where I can only buy from since nothing else like that exists in my country:
https://www.bazos.sk/
"Čo:" = What
"Cena" = Price

At 6.0.0 Xposed.
I completely forgot how to get everything set up so I can flash 6.0.1, I remember needing to disable xposed.
Anyone that can spoonfeed me, I'm literally feeling retarded.

>>55949813
Why not order from Aliexpress? I'm sure they send to Slovakia too.
100 euro is just enough for Redmi 3s 2/16 that has an excellent battery.

Looking for a chinkphone for Tmobile US, preferably with as many frequencies as possible with 4g LTE, currently have a Galaxy s4 that is heating up to much and fragging my fucking sim card. Looking for a halfway decent camera and 3g of ram. I've been looking at the Honor 5x but I'd really like a removable battery, and be >=250$ USD. Any suggestions?

>>55949984
>chinkphone
>250$
Add another $20 and you can end up with a high end model with full LTE compatibility:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/lelelele/100099_32662750847.html

Otherwise, several anons confirmed that the RN3P works on t-mobile H+ (but probably no LTE).

I just bought a nexus 6P and a rhinoshield bumper with the screen protectors and I've been throwing my phone on the ground for about 40 minutes now. why does everyone complain about how weak it is?

When will the wiki be updated?

>>55949775

I'm looking for a magnetic quick charger for my xperia z3. Does anyone have any recomendation?

Also, I heard magnetic charging is faster than the normal one. Is that true?

Where to buy the redmeme note 3 pro that I don't get chinked ? I'm from Spain btw. Is geekbuying alright?

Gracias familia

Has anyone ever used or seen a one of those newer Siemens Gigaset smartphones and can report about it?

>>55950733
Would I have to pay taxes ? How much time did you had to wait?

I cannot wait for the new Nexus phones, which will be available in atleast 2 months.

Gonna get the OP3, because tinkering with the software, and a good cam is important to me.

>tfw I see no reason to upgrade from my Nexus 5

Some guy is offering a new Moto G4 plus 32gb and 3gb ram for the price of the plain Moto G4, probably doesn't know what he's doing and is confused with the different models

I have no phone right now. Should I go for it?

Does the HTC 10 high-end DAC/AMP work with every app or just HTC's own apps?

Seems like a good device either way.

>>55950783
Couple of months ago I made the mistake of upgrading from my 2 years old Nexus 5 to a 5X...i was so disappointed that i sold it last week and bought a 6p (which i am still waiting)
They will never release a phone as good as the Nexus 5 again

>>55951038
idk famster, I think I might get an iPhone when my N5 finally goes.

No other android phone seems good.
The 6P is 2hueg4me, while the 5X is just meh

You can have chink phones with practically identical specs (if not better) for half to two thirds as much.

The question is what do you need from the Moto G4 plus?

>>55951228
Consult statistics. Your damn phone collects them.

If that brings up nothing, install another ROM for starters.

My Moto G 1st Gen from 2013 is aging. Is there a chinkshit that is as simple to root as a Motorola?

>>55952054
Redmi 2 / Note 2.

Newer Xiaomi phones are better, but I guess you will need to send a shitty bootloader unlock request to get root. Feasible but annoying.

Most of the other chink brands actually also usually had easy ways to root, but IDK about what other brands I'd get right now. I guess I'd get Xiaomeme again.

>>55952195
Thanks, anon. Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 looks sweet, bootloader unlock sounds annoying. I rely too much on Xposed and AdAway to think of giving it up ;_; I'll also look at the newer Moto G's.

>>55952054
Blu R1 HD. It's a chink compant that sells in America. $60 with Amazon prime.

And it'd already got root etc:

OTOH, it's $110 if you don't have prime membership.

Moto x pure or redmi note 3 pro?

>>55952388
Thanks! I don't have Prime, but my roommate does and he'll let me use his account. I'll definitely pick up the 16GB version for $60. It has a lower pixel density than my current phone, but in every other way it totally trumps it.

>>55949868
You can flash the uninstaller from recovery.
> http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/
See if that works. Then you can flash your 6.0.1 zip.

>>55952432
At the same price, the Moto X Pure might be a little better.

But it costs like 50% more (or comes with a contract that costs more than that), doesn't it?

Either way, it's not like you should have trouble running your apps on either. I'd say the difference is mostly about the camera and spec whoring.

>>55952648
>>55952656
And is it the best in its price range? (forgot to ask)

>>55952590
Nah I have both, little brother didn't like the phone so he got a new and gave me the moto x pure my only concern with it is the battery life.

i have a nexus 6p and no one can ever fucking hear me on it. the microphone is fucked

how is the oneplus 3? how close to stock android is it? does the phone have any major flaws, like no one can ever hear you? any major issues to be aware of?

>>55951582
I have the same issue with my phone when I visit my grandmother's property in a really rural part of the country. It absolutely murders battery no matter your device when it's searching for a signal.

>>55952648
i had one for a few days

typing on it was driving me fucking crazy. i have thick fingers though. i love bigger phones just so i can text and shit.

performance is bonkers though, no lag and everything works perfectly.

also the screen is the same screen from iphone 5, so that's 5 year old technology. not impressive. everyone bitches about the front camera but that's not a deal at all imo, fuck selfies anyways. the back camera is great

all in all it's okay, maybe a little overpriced but can't argue with the performance in the price range at all. it would drive me crazy though because i'm so used to swiping instead of touching each letter for text input, and i like google shit more than apple shit. it's worth it if none of that matters to you and you're okay with the worst possible screen in a phone costing more than $75 dollars

srs question, what is this pokemon hunting shit and why is it so popular ?

TL;DR please for somebody who's too busy with work and hobbies

>>55952668
If you want a good compact phone, the iPhone SE and Sony Z3 Compact are your only real options. The iPhone has killer battery life.

S7 Exynos or Snapdragon?

>>55952987
Exynos > Snapdragon

>>55952987
exygnos

no memeing, the exynos chip is just a shade better than 820. just a shade

>>55952987
Just get whichever is more easily available where you live. Although people usually say the Exynos is slightly better.

>>55952987
A note 7 would be better

>>55952670
> my only concern with it is the battery life.
AFAIK both are doing very well there. Maybe the RN3P is actually a little better (partly 'cause of lower res screen)

You might as well give away / sell the Moto X Pure for more profit than you could sell the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

You might be able to find an app which kills your cellular while it has a shitty signal to avoid battery drain. Unless it checking if the signal is bad does the very same thing.

Got a Samsung S4 in 2013 ro whenever it came out, Now it takes 3 minutes to boot and slow as fuck and I was thinking of getting a new phone. What phone has the best features?

>>55950142
Sorry for the late response, but thanks for the feedback. That one looks nice. Also, redpill a retard who's literally never bought anything from the far east, how exactly does customs tack on extra charges? I noticed on the link for that particular phone had a big red "read me" about customs, and declaring the value and such of items. Is that something that the buyer does during the buying process from aliexpress or what? my buddy did buy some glasses from china once and never mentioned anything about customs, but I am aware that sometimes things can get stuck at customs when coming from China, but wasn't really aware of extra charges, and declarations and shit required by the buyer, especially when purchasing something from a website.

>>55952682

It's funny how Iphones that never got updated are still blazing fast. Some time ago I got my hands on a Iphone 4 and it had something like IOS 5 or so. It was as snappy as when it was new. Try that today using IOS 7 and it will shit itself.

I still haven't gotten a good answer if it's by accident or design that they become this way. I can already see on a Iphone 6 how it's noticeably slower than from launch. Especially when you have a 6s next to it.

Really makes my foil hat curl.

Grandma is relatively happy with her typical no name chink ceramic knifes, but she doesn't have high standards.

I found the and the damascene steel imitation knifes to be pretty lackluster.

I wouldn't prefer them to the more modest / average user compatible but very practical Victorinox, never mind the a bit more pricey Gude and japanese Knifes that I use.

>>55954755
I'd figured as much. I'm just probably gonna go with some mid range japknife on chefknivestogo as I'd originally planned. Thaniks m8

What's the best way for a Canadian to keep his phone number after moving to the states?
And what are good USA carriers for roaming into Canada?

Should I get a 6P for around 440€ or say fuck it and get a Redmi Note 3 Pro for 189€ (including shipping)

Current phone is nexus 4 which started to have touch screen issues. I wanted to wait for the new nexus but probably it will also cost 550-600€ when it launches.

Would I regret going chink over a Nexus?

>>55954839
Well, I only tried four pieces / sets of Chink kitchen knifes.

But it is a difference to the >10 variants of Victorinox/Swiss and Jap cooking knifes plus around six Solingen/Germany ones, which were *all* good to great.

As for other sauces for Jap knifes - japanesechefsknife and the actual Amazon.jp also have a bunch of good options.

>>55954922
It should be $180-ish, not 180Eur ... unless it includes some import service that won't be taxed further?

And I can't see why you'd regret it. Unless you regret not upgrading every time a phone with a better camera comes out.

>>55955051
I am having it shipped to Italy so maybe it varies from country to country,

Nah I am not the type of person that changes a phone every 6 months, I had my nexus 4 for 3.5+ years.

It's just that since there is no way for me to physically see the phone I don't know if it has a significant deal beaker or shortcoming.

For 1/3 of the price of a nexus and 4000mAh battery is very tempting

How is Xiaomi with updates? Is MIUI a good skin or it's better to just flash cm13?

>>55955124
>I am having it shipped to Italy so maybe it varies from country to country,
Nah, that's the cost for typical global chink shipping. You are probably just looking in a place where it costs more than aliexpress or such.

> How is Xiaomi with updates? Is MIUI a good skin or it's better to just flash cm13?
MIUI is fine if you ask me. Good set of features, and it gets lots of updates. I prefer it over Cyanogen.

But on various Xiaomi phones, the Android version ended up being stuck near the release version - it's independent from the MIUI updates.

That might then be a reason to use CWM or a derivative. Or perhaps an interest in tweaking more stuff is. Myself, I always preferred MIUI anyhow.

Which phone would be a good upgrade for an S4? It's getting more issues with sd card and sim card reading and i could use a new phone.

It needs a good camera and faster specs, at the best price:performance ratio. Thought about the Zenfone Laser, but it seems janky in reviews. Any suggestions?

>>55955016
Ah cool, Is it possible to translate amazon.jp natively in any browser? Obviously I can do the yen conversions but it'd be nice to read the descriptions of the items.

>>55955213
I checked the TopOne at AliExpress since I heard good things about that seller and the final price is 189 euros with shipping.

Thanks for elaborating on Miui btw

>>55955234
I think you can run it through yandex or google or other translation engines by linkage?

Chrome has a translation function built-in where you press a button rather than having to paste a link into another website.

>i was considering that or an iphone se, and op3 has a better screen than that. honestly 1080p is just fine with me
It's still inferior to a 1440p phone display, you can easily tell the difference despite the memes going around.

Anyway it sounds like you're too poor to get an S7 active so consider getting an Axon 7, it's $400 but has a snapdragon 820 and a 1440p screen.

It depends where your'e form. in the U.S items up to $800 won't be taxed at customs so you have nothing to worry about.
In Europe it varies between the nations but usually you pay quite hefty taxes and custom fees even on small orders.

Are the OP3 shills on suicide yet after Floss picked the Axon 7 as best chinkphone?

>>55956059
I myself do approve of basically all Sanrenmu / most Ganzo / many Enlan Bee.

But anon asked for not utility knifes, but kitchen knifes. All the chink ones I tried weren't good.
Yea, you can cut with them, but they aren't different from whatever cheap shit you can get in some random household / discount store near you.

And Ikea's knifes -never mind the ones I mentioned- are already significantly better.

My S4 keeps on overheating and literally eating up my SD cards. I need to get an upgrade for it, preferably <$400.

Right now I'm looking into the LG V10. I handled the G3 for 2 weeks, and really liked the screen/camera/software. From what i can tell, the V10 is an improved version for around 300-400 bucks. Good buy or nah?

Any other reccs? Chinkphones have only 3GB of RAM, and I would want something more newer. The Nexus 6P looked good until I saw the no SD card slot and no removable battery. After that, DROPPED.

>>55956676
That's me. I chose a 6p over the Note 4 before I knew it had no SD card slot. Now I am in regret. Why all phones don't have expandable memory is beyond me. Maybe I'll see if I can find someone with a Note that'll trade. I'll take TouchWiz with an SD slot over running out of storage.

>>55956722
Yeah, truth be told I'm disappointed with the meme trend of "Android phones without SD card/removable batteries"

I can't say how many times I had to reset my phone by removing the battery. It's just so reliable and handy.

Ah well. Surprisingly, there's a ton of cheapish phones on eBay (G5 for $410 or so) that I might look into. I know, broken IMEI and all that jazz, but the reviews and creds check out

>>55953956
It's supposed to come sometime soon, but since all they have done is remove features I doubt they will ever implement it

I heard that the Axon 7 has a average/poor camera. Basically one the most important part of a phone to me, really disappointing.

Are all these bad things I'm hearing about the LG G3 memes?

Because I'm planning to buy used either a LG G3 or a Samsung S5.

>>55955651
fuck samshit, i'm not rooting a phone just to have it be usable.

i could afford a more expensive phone but i really don't see the need to spend more than i need to.

>>55957375
It overheats a lot, the S5 is better if a bit expensive. Just make sure the screen has no burn in.

>>55957375
The Galaxy S5 is imo one of the best smartphones ever, i still use it despite owning both a redmeme note 3 pro and an HTC 10 because its just so pretty and has a better camera than both.

>>55957978
Make sure you get the old one, dont bother with the S5 Neo, it lacks the infrared sensor, fingerprint scanner, chrome edges, chrome samsung logo and the 3.0 usb port, all the Neo offers is a better frontal camera (because you are a spoiled 15 year old girl with daddy issues taking a hundred selfies every day for facebook right?) and a newer case that looks like cheap plastic.

upgrading from a 2014 moto G, should i go with the Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro, one plus, or something else? budget is $350.

>>55956676
I bought one myself two weeks ago. The battery life is unimpressive, but it does have quick charging so I guess it's not too big of a deal if you're close to an outlet. The second screen is more of a gimmick than a useful addition, as well, and you probably won't miss much just leaving it off all the time. Those are the two main things. Other than that it's a great phone. I'm enjoying it so far.

Does anyone else's redmeme have the issue where IEMs hiss like there's too much power going to the drivers? It's super noticeable at lower volumes. My old S4 drives them perfectly so it's not the IEMs.

Hey /spg/ I have Rogers in Canada, currently using a Verizon Galaxy S4 but it barely works on this carrier, looks like the data network isnt compatible and I only get 3G but it cuts out frequently. I obviously need to get a new phone, just wondering what you guys typically look for? I mostly just use my phone for normie apps, texting, photos, and phone calls. I guess out of everything I'd want a nice looking interface, maybe a good/nice camera, and decent storage, any ideas immediately pop to mind or is there anything someone relatively new should know when looking to buy a wholesale phone rather then doing contracts? I want to avoid being bound to a company for 2-years at a time.

Redmi 3 (Pro) is similar in size to the Nexus 5
139.3 x 69.6 x 8.5 mm vs
137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm

>>55957375
I have a Nexus 4 (2100 battery) gets the same life as my G3 (3000 battery).
S5 is so full of shit that it freezes a lot, seems ram related despite asking little of it.

Nexus 4 runs better than either of them. So honestly I have found both the G3 and S5 to be garbage. S5 at least started good, but went down hill fast. Sometimes it will do okay if its been freshly reset.


Part of what has me tempted to buy a Nexus 5x, but not sure its best for the money. I just want stock android. Axon 7 is tempted as I here it works on CDMA even though its not suppose to yet. Anyone have suggestions on this?

>>55951582
Use 2G GSM without data, for fuck's sake.

>>55958738
Oneplus 3
Nexus 6P
Redmi Note 3 Pro (cheapest of the three, but has a bad camera)

Or wait for the new Nexus phones in october.

>>55958928

Yeah I'm doing a bit of digging, I guess having a replaceable battery sounds good, and a decent microSD slot but I don't think I'd be storing that much stuff. Admittedly I'm falling for the Samsung Edge gimmick but I guess having a nice screen/display, decent hardware so theres no major delay but that seems like a given for most modern smartphones, and a decent phone.

I'll look into your stuff though, I'm eyeing something sub-300$ but I don't know if thats unrealistic, the Nexus looks great, the note3 looks a bit on the larger size for my small hands though. Appreciate your feedback though my dude.

You guys can probably help. I'm looking for a new tablet and can't between figure out between Air 2 64gb or tab S2 9.7". Problem with S2 is poor battery life and Air 2 is the eco system. Which one should I for or wait till September because it's been a while since both of these have been announced.

So is there a phone that is the Nexus 4 of today? (But with CDMA and a bit better battery/camera)

I wanted to buy the OnePlus 2 on their site but I want the European version even though I'm the US
Why wont this stupid site allow me to choose a model?

Help me /g/, i have 2 questions :
First is : I just destroyed my OPO screen and i can't manage to transfer my files on there to my computer, what can i do ?

And secondly, what do you think of the Samsung A5 ? (if other good counterpart around 300/400~€ that are not chinkshit, i'm interested)

Sup fellas
Here's the situation: I currently own an LG Leon 4G with specs: quad core 1.2GHz snapdragon, 1GB RAM, 8GB eMMC, 32GB mSD, 4,5" IPS display.
Now, I want to replace it with something better like Z1 Compact, but the problem is those phones have a fucking battery built-in with no ability to replace it when worn. Do you know any alternative for Z1C? I need to be 4,5" MAX.

>>55960247

Unless I'm wrong and replacing the battery in Z1C is easy.

Should I buy pic related or wait for the HTC Nexus?

What should I buy? Country is Russia, budget is ~200$, don't mind chinese, at least 5.5 inches. All I need is a smartphone that will work smoothly for at least a year. Not a heavy mobile gamer, maybe will play a game or two sometimes.

There is only one phone that has a 4.5inch screen and a removable battery that you can consider an upgrade to the phone you currently have: Samsung Galaxy S5 mini.

Also the z1 compact is already quite old, you might want to consider the z3 or z5 compact.

>>55960481
Also curious on this.

I like the 5x size, but also considering 6P for the storage of the Axon 7 for the high specs and possibly better battery life? (I find stock android is good on battery but nonstock drains faster)

I wonder about HTC doing it. Their phones aren't bad, but they are unproven with the Nexus where as previous ones have been friendly to customization. HTC phones are iffy on this. And the 6P manufacture is also claiming they are making the next one.

>>55960518
z3c costs too much, I can get the z1c for $100

>>55960481
WAIT

i have a nexus 6p

the microphone fucking sucks, they actually have 3 microphones that try to isolate noise and eliminate it. except it makes everything super quiet. it's awful

also the build quality is fucking shit

definitely wait. snapdragon 820 is god mode, 810 overheats like a motherfucker and it's not a meme.

I have Xperia Z3 Compact that is around a year old

The audio jack doesn't work for almost a year now and I had to rip out one of those flaps covering the charging port

My phone provider refuses warranty repairs and there's no Sony repair center for phones in my country.

What should I do? Should I just suffer one more year with this phone that is falling apart?

>>55960545
Then buy it, It's a good phone. Look around to make sure you're getting the best price.

I just bought this for ~ $120USD and I think i did pretty good for myself.

According to this, you have to installs SoundAbout app to force audio through the headset.

I asked for a sealed box for the redmeme 3 at Aliexpress. I plan on flashing the ROM myself. Did I do the right thing? Or would I lose the warranty if I flash the ROM? Thanks

Which Google Play Services permissions should I enable/disable ? ( nexus 5 all stock)

>>55960839
You should never ever update before you backing up your data
And because they're faggots

Right, phone retard here, I have a z3 compact abd it's pretty shitty, had a z3 normal previously and liked it am tempted to get the Z5 but think android 6 is garbage compared to previous iteration, Android 4? I don't want an apple meme. What alternatives are there? Samsung galaxy 7 or whatever looks like it had a trash phone abd can't record HD video?

redmi note 3 pro comrade. or wait a little for the new redmi line

>>55953055
>note 7
why would I want a smaller battery and larger screen than 5.5"? pen and iris scanner sure as hell aren't worth that to me.

OnePlus 3, Huawei P9+, Galaxy S7 or Xperia Z5/X?

Main requirements:
>quick updates and good support
>high quality stock software without a million bugs or instability
>sheer processing power and smoothness of the UI
>ability to root without a million hassles
>max 450€ (including used)

Secondary requirements:
>Good camera
>Good sound quality through headphones
>Quality screen (mostly talking about uniformity of the panel, no tinted whites, no uneven backlight, etc)

Right now this is what I can tell from reviews and articles.

OP3 seems to be a balanced device which doesn't excel in anything except raw power, the stock software seems to be a fucking mess though. The camera also seems bad when it comes to video recording.

Huawei P9+ seems to be an overall good device and I've heard they're quick with updates. The stock software reminds me of iOS (not a bad thing). It's very expensive though.

Galaxy S7 seems to be a good overall device but I've had issues with Samsung in the past (galaxy s4), especially when it comes to moddability and quality software. Has touchjizz improved? Honestly is too early to tell because Samsung always does a good job on release then they fuck everything up (on purpose) with later updates.

Sony is my favourite brand and I've always used Sony before other than the Galaxy S4 I mentioned above, but the Z5 and the X seem to have many little retarded issues and they're very expensive. I know for a fact that Sony is god tier when it comes to software and updates. My Z3 before niggers stole it from my car was absolutely perfect, and it wasn't even on stable firmware, I was using the marshmallow Beta which was so fucking good I'm tempted to forgive all the issues X has to get back to the Sony UI.

I'm so fucking indecisive right now, none of these devices satisfy me 100%, I'm actually tempted to buy another used Z3 until something that's basically a Z3 on steroids comes out. That device was literally perfect.

where are you planning to buy it? don't fall for the russian reseller prices. use aliexpress

>>55961471
>none of these devices satisfy me 100%
Well yeah
Just get another Z3 if you're fine with the camera being not quite up to par with latest flagships. Also, to me, the Z5 & X colour selections are kinda lame compared to the Z3's
It's gonna be a year long wait till Sony has another chance to unfuck themselves

>>55961636
Advice on Samsung A5 depends on what price you're getting it at. I don't know what the pricing is, so if you reply with a price maybe somebody else can comment on that, or you can simply look up store price in your country and compare that to a quick aliexpress search from a vendor that can guarantee tax free import. The Gal S5 is a solid device, I don't know what the difference is with the A5. you should compare in gsmarena and report your findings.

hey /spg/.

aussie here. our prices are jacked up and all over the place, but i'm thinking of picking up either

>moto g4 plus
>xiaomi mi max
>xiaomi redmi note 3 pro

similar price point here, not really sure which one to go for.
>xiaomis are slightly cheaper.
>heard the xiaomi cameras suck and g4 plus is avg.
>heard the 617 in the moto g4 plus gets hot, but xiaomi's performance is throttled or something?
>want the bigger screen in the mi max, but want the clean android of moto g4 plus
>want to be able to easily root and flash roms.

>>55961843
5got.
xiaomi phones aren't too hard to root, though it's confusing to get back to stock rom since there's all this bullshit in their stock roms like malware etc.
plus xiaomi phones might not get as much support in the long run?

>>55961076
I will bump this. Can we optimize the Google stuff somehow?

What's a good decent Virgin mobile compatible phone?

>>55961634

It just didn't feel as smooth in use as the Z3, camera seems less usable even tho I asse it's the same hardware.

Correct me.of I'm wrong but I assume they cut corners had to reduce the hardware performance / compromised on components or something like this to achieve the size reduction. As mentioned ot might be the software or somewhere bullshit that was installed by the carrier that has made this feel less robust. Has anyone here got a Z5 who had a Z3 circa 2014/5.

Does htc have any good offerings these days

Basically I'm looking for best phone on market hardware wise that still allows me to do what I want hence the no apple statement. Any advice appreciated

RAM, 720p resolution and the actual size are different. I don't have a Z3 to compare, so I'll take your word for it.

HTC 10 is great this year, compared to the last model

Have a look at LG, Google & Motorola flagships. If you don't like them, go Chinese and check out the Huawei P9 and Xiaomi MI 5 / Note 3 Pro

Wait, so Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is better then Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro?
Or am I missing something.

>>55961725
Ok, thanks. What about default OS on Redmi Note 3 Pro? Should I change some shit or is it good right at the start?

>>55962576
Both the Snapdragon and Exynos versions have root now, but I'd get the Exynos if you really want custom ROMs for 3+ years. There's a much bigger international dev community for that version.

Good lock helps an already slimmed down touchjizz, so they'd really have to fuck it up for this to even be an issue.

>>55962475
was thinking about z5 compact but should I wait for sony to release a new compact phone?

>>55962204

So a useless shit post then.

>>55958470
It's super nice.

I'm due a free upgrade in November. Currently using a Nexus 6P.
I was hoping for the Note 7 to be an actual upgrade, but turned out to be the biggest letdown of the year so far.

The only chink-tier phone my carrier will get is Huawei, other than that it's pretty mainstream.

What would you guys go with, assuming the next Nexus turns out disappointing?

Axon7 = great hardware + shitty software = ruined phone

And don't come up with the wishful thinking that ZTE out of all companies will improve their software by much.

>>55961821
>Advice on Samsung A5 depends on what price you're getting it at
I'm getting it around 350€

desu i'm torn between that, a S6 or the OnePlus Three, since they are all 3 around the same price (between 350€ and 450€ here on France)

Does the OP3 have the same shitty focus on the camera that the OPO had ? Because fuck that shite

Contemplating a Galaxy note 7, anyone have one?

Do you calibrate the battery of a new phone?
The first time I get a phone I let the battery drain completely and the phone to turn off.
Then I charge it while off until %100 + 2 extra hours.

In comparison with S7E:
More rigid build due to higher quality aluminum
Gorilla Glass 5
Improved screen (50% brighter at max, HDR compatibility)
Vastly improved UX
S-Pen
Iris scanner (a gimmick for most people)
USB-C
USB 3.1
Slightly larger screen and dimensions
100mAh smaller battery
Less curved display
Significantly better in-hand feel

It's a more premium phone. For 64GB S7E vs. Note 7 you're paying $100 or so more, but if you preorder you receive >$100 in freebies. I'd go with the SD card, personally.

Unopened/sealed is the china rom, so you'll have to flash global rom either way.

Moto G4P for the stockish android, RN3P for performance.

>same size as an iphone 4s
>3.5"
Yeah, no. grow bigger hands.

>>55962591
>>55964711
NO. the Pro version with SD650 is much better.

>>55965187
Nope because they don't officially sell their phones in the US and lack many 3G/LTE bands.

>>55965638
The higher end end models of Huawei and Leeco have pretty good cameras.

>>55965706
In Europe no, in the US find something more compatible.

>>55965884
I'd go with the Honor if you like smaller sized phones. N5X otherwise.

>>55966039
> Is it normal for a new smartphone to need charging once a day?
Yes. most phones will need charge once a day unless you have one of those huge battery phones ala K6000 etc.

>>55964490
you can flash custom roms on your android phone when your bootloader is unlocked, more information about this is on xda and cyanogenmod.org

has anyone ever tried to find out if the firmware of a phone actively sends userdata to the seller and other sources?

>>Is Samsung still loaded with bloat?
check it out in a store honestly. It seemed smooth when I tried it and touchwiz is far less bloated than it once was. If everything fails, you can still root it and remove that shit (but samsung pay won't work anymore)

>>55966626
Checked on it in my local electronic market
It seems to work smooth, but I´m afraid that it wont perform like that one year later.

Scared about rooting because I don´t want to brick it

>>55965684
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_clark

I seriously dont understand why cyanogen isnt first on your list of custom roms, even the unnoficial pajeet builds are a hundred times better than the stock rom, just download the pico open gapps and rice it, dont blame your retardedness on "i couldnt install properly therefore custom roms are shit xd"

>>55966683
No idea on how it will perform later on, hit or miss I guess. But the latest Samsungs still sell quite good even if used I think. Maybe the HTC is more for you? Their android is pretty much clean with almost no bloat. I expect a cyanogenmod rom soon too..

>>55966751
I really want to try to mod my s5. Does anyone have experience with this specific phone?
I really dont want to brick it

>>55966552
>$300
Zuk Z2 or Le Max X820. cheapest SD820 phones you can get.

http://www.oppomart.com/zuk-z2.html
http://www.oppomart.com/letv/max2/le-max-2.html

Moto G4 Plus if Americuck.

>>55966747
because nightlies literally started a few weeks ago, and half the features that are staples for cm are absent, on top of not supporting moto actions. It's in an incredibly early stage and shouldn't even be bothered with for a daily driver. when the stable version hits with moto actions and all that, sure. not until then.

>>55966778
>zuk z2 still has no cyanogenmod release

REEEEE

>>55966772
check out xda and cyanogenmod.org

If you have the international version you'll be good I guess. No idea about the carrier specific ones tho. But there are also roms for carrierspecific phones on cyanogenmod.org

>>55966796
I have the carrier free european version.

Is there a stable cm13 mod for the S5 yet?
I want wanna troubleshoot all the time :/

>>55966747
There are seriously only a handful of roms that being updated regularly, and none of them have truly stable builds. Only about 3 of them are worth talking about.

>>55966822
nightlies are pretty stable.

again, check out xda and ask there if needed. They can give you feedback.

>>55966857
alright, thanks!

>>55966057
I'm sure it's not so bad that a new launcher and a new ROM when the warranty goes can't fix it.
>>55966080
>water resistance and SD card slot
Definitely big factors. Exynos keeps up with an 820, though, right?

Also, can anyone comment on how the S7 feels in the hand compared to an OP3 (or any other 5.5" phone.) I don't have huge hands, so I'm kind of tempted to pay a premium for one of the few smaller options that are still high specced.

I am about to order Xiaomi RN3P.
I live in Finland, which store would be best to buy it from to avoid taxes inside EU?
I'm currently looking at Honorbuy and Oppomart, but I don't know if they have global ROMs already installed. I can flash it myself too but just for the convenience.
TopOne didn't have gray color with 3GB model so that's out of question...

Does anyone have experience on the Xiaomi flipcases, are they good?

>>55966237
>I'd go with the Honor if you like smaller sized phones. N5X otherwise

Are nexus phones really that good? Only issue is it doesnt have micro sd slot.

Thanks man.

finaly decision, should i get the xiaomi note pro 3 or something else? not chinese phone related. nexus, samsung, anything else?

Opinions on the Moto X Play?
John Lewis has them for £200 which seems like a good deal and is much cheaper than most places.

Trouble is that NFC (and I guess decent storage) is an absolute necessity, which rules out most of the things that people recommend in this price range.

>>55967484
The SoC is known to be overheating and stuttering, but the rest of the phone is absolutely top tier for its price.

Hey /g/ Nexus 5x, Nexus 6P, Axon 7?

5x
Pros:
stock android (likely to run really well)
really good size

Cons:
Battery Life (hard to tell since a well done phone can really stretch a small battery)
Not sure 32gb will cut it, but I can unload pics often

Nexus 6P
Pros
stock android
64gb

Cons:
Bit too big
Perhaps not best price in its range
Concern for process heat or so I've heard

Axon 7
Pros:
Monster Specs
Good Battery Life?

Cons
Too Big
Not stock android?
Possibly less support


Tempted to do a 5x just to have something cheap and decent for now, because this G3 and S5 have to go they are rubbish despite misleading specs. On the other hand Axon seems like a beast, but could be misleading on performance since like S5 and G3 specs mean little if it runs like shit, seriously my Nexus 4 gets battery life equal to the G3. And 400 dollars compared to 270 would make me feel a bit more committed to staying with it. Wish they would remake the N4 with 64gb, a good battery/camera, and CDMA (yes im stuck with that).

Any thoughts?

I was about to go for that, it looks good until I looked at the reviews and see all these people say that the micro ends bend just by the weight of the cable.
They also have pictures..
What do you think?

>>55967993
i think you shouldn't attempt to bend ANY fucking cable by the connections end. most of those people are retarded and think regularly bending their shit at 90 degree angles is a good idea. a lot of well reviews companies have people who post stupid shit like that.

now it's one thing if the reviews state micro usb side becomes loose over time and looses connection, but bending problems are people being fucking retarded.

>>55967993
Been using an a tangle free braided Anker cable on my mouse for years. They are really good.

Micro usb bends easily on anything because its small and people mistreat their shit. Just like how morons break USB drives by having 10 pounds of keys hanging off them.

Today is the last day of HTC's sale and they are trying REALLY hard to sell the 10. Left it in my cart and left the website, they emailed me upgrading my shipping to 2 day for free.

I'm deciding between the 10, the Axon 7, or waiting for the v20.

Pros
10 : Build quality, software (little bloatware, bootloader unlocked), protection program

Axon 7: Price, best speakers, $75 replacements

LG v20 : Best audio quality

I listen to music all day every day so that's the biggest selling point for me.

So for cons the HTC is pretty pricey and I'm having a hard time justifying it, but today is the last day it's $100 off + $100 in accessories from the HTC site. I consider this phone to be the most reliable purchase.

ZTE software is dicey and they aren't proven to have a good track record with updates, bootloader unlocking is still up in the air. Specs are great though, audio on par with HTC 10.

V20 I am guessing, for now, is as good as the v20 with certain hardware improvements. ASSUMING battery life and overheating aren't issues this time around, V20 has the best audio quality. Bootlader is eh, warranty is not as good as what HTC or Axon offers, screen size is bigger than I am used to.


So do I buy the HTC today or let it go?

s7 edge, note 7 or OP3?

Somebody care to list the pro´s and cons of each phone or give their personal opinion?

>I dont favour anything so just be subjective

>>55968610
N7 vs S7E: >>55965357

The OP3 only compares in performance specs, which aren't that relevant nowadays since even 2-generation old CPUs are just fine for modern apps. If you want a chinkphone it's a pretty decent choice.

>>55968610
I don't trust Samsung after using the S5. The specs looking nice end up pretty meaningless in my experience because they fuck over the software far too much. And post S4 they are really trying to keep people from fixing their fuck ups with custom software.

>>55968684
dude that´s the SAME thing I´m having trouble with right now.

>bought a s5
>returned it after a year (saying it was broken, got an extra insurance that covers my phone) because it was slow as hell.

Both the s7 and note 7 sound so great and I wouldnt mind having a giant screen because I love to watch videos. But i´m scared man.. scared that the perfomance will fade away again

>>55968684
The N7's new UX is apparently pretty great. I wonder if it's lighter, too.

If nothing else you can always just disable all the bloatware.

>>55968660
I hear alot of people still using their Note 4 or Note 5. I guess they do perform very well on the long run in comparison with the s galaxy line.
Is that assumption true?

>>55968746
They are too busy trying to make Android into IOS for me to even consider using a damn thing from them now.

>>55968787
Historically the Note line has been better in every way than the S line. The N7 is superior to the S7/S7e in some ways, but not every way - notably the battery is slightly smaller, and it's using the same RAM/CPU.

Still, I'd guess it'll hold up ok compared to the S7. That's pure conjecture, mind you.

>>55968813
I am really torn.
I have to admit I used an iphone ever since (until the s5) and I never had problems.
I did not change phones because I had any troubles, I was just curious.
In fact Android turned out to be awesome, but Samsung was a great Disappointment.

>I wonder if I can trust them again
>Any other Android phones worth considering?

>>55968790
I mean it was fine for like half a year but it soon started to get laggy.
I´ve heard that the OnePlus3 is a powerhouse and has little to no bloatware.
400 Bucks wouldnt be THAT much of a commitment instead of paying 600 or more for another "Samsung Experiment"

Sorry for being stupid but I need a quick, no-bullshit /g/ opinion.

I'm moving to China in a few weeks and my mom is going to buy me a new phone. I have the choice of getting the latest Samsung Galaxy or the latest iPhone. Should I choose the iPhone 6s Plus, the S7, or the S7 Edge?

>>55968781
Not always if its anything like the S5. That things locked bootloader on some models meant you could never fully remove their shit. And the tendrils of alterations went far deeper than their garbage UI. Even with annoying bloat frozen it still ran poorly for its spec. And trying to remove some of it resulted in crashes due to their other dickery.

If they have done anything similar, and I don't know maybe they haven't, but I think they have then it could forever be fucked.

>>55968925
I dont get why they throw their shit at those phones anyways.
I mean that´s LITERALLY the only complaint people have.
It could be the most perfect phone but those Koreans take advertisement of their own shit too far.

>We should have nuked trice

>>55968850
HTC 10 is a really great option, or the next Nexuses might be good too. Today is the last day of the 10 sale - it's $100 off through htc.com.

This doesn't change everything.

Its not about disabling their stupid apps they have fucked the version of android itself. Unless you can remove the whole OS and start over its still runs like shit.

>>55958136
It's alright I guess. Miss having replaceable batteries, tho.

>>55969001
I´ll prolly wait for the new Nexuses since then I´ll have the new updates day one

>>55968922
Get a Xiaomi in China?

Along with some of their air filters if you are anywhere near a city.

>>55969163
I only have certain upgrade options. The two best options I have are the S7/Edge and the iPhone 6s Plus. Again, I'm not paying for it so I don't need to settle for a chinkphone.

>>55969188
Cant wait for the Iphone 7?

>>55969037
The new Grace UX is far less terrible. I've been over this already.

>>55962187
Good sound quality on the S7? Which version?

>>55969237
I don't stay up-to-date with phones at all. Is it highly anticipated and worth the wait? Getting the phone sent to me after I go to China might be a pain in the ass as well. I'd rather just get something set up before I go.
