By the way, I'm currently using an S4.
>>
So Nexus 5x or Axon 7?

Provided I don't give two shits about giant screens and overly high resolutions, just smooth running and decent battery.
>>
Get the 6s plus. Honestly.

Alot of Android fanboys will tell you otherwise but Samsung is even shittier than Apple if you put it like that

>tl;dr
>get the iphone
>be happy with a phone that just.. works
>>
I think we're finally in the age of premium obsolescence. Specs that are flagship contested but last no longer than a 12 to 24 month cycle. After recently purchasing a Note 4, it only seems evident to me.

>>55969328
Axon 7 without question.
>>
>>55969419
Learned it the hardway by purchasing the "flagship" s5. Served me lag-free for like a year.

Are "flagship killers" a meme or is the OP3 an option?
>>
>>55969419
Any particular reason why?

I dislike larger screens and battery sucking resolutions. But I consider it for the larger battery provided it makes a difference and better specs for smooth operation. Its not really suppose to work on my carrier but people say it does and the SD slot is a nice bonus.

Axon 7 would be a long term choice. 5x would be just to wait it out until the new Nexus and if HTC will bring what they do well and leave behind what they do poorly for it.

Help me out here /g/

Long story short, my 5x of 6 months is a great phone but having bought it in canada for $499 CAD, it's underwhelming seeing how I can get it for much cheaper now (and back then) if I didn't buy it off the Google Store or in Canada at all

Anyways, I'm looking to sell the 5x and replace it with the OP3.

>buy OP3 for $519 CAD
>sell 5x for $420-$450 CAD
>??? profit

Looking for decent battery, phone that doesn't heat up as bad as the 5x, decent speakers, phone to use for at least 2 years, i dont play games on my phones other than pokemon
>>
>>55969474
>5x would be just to wait it out until the new Nexus
So you can't wait 57 days?
>>
>>55969495
>literally 1368 hours
easier said than done
>>
>>55969487
no heating problems on the OP3.
why is are your prices so fucked up so.
Isnt it cheaper to pay the shipping and order from europe?
>>
>>55969445
OP3 lost the original OnePlus moniker of flagship killer. Instead people call it a killer flagship, which is depressing if you consider the company's initial intention was to break the market of what flagships meant in the mainstream with the OPO. Axon 7 is similar to the OP3 is a lot of ways but has better memory management, marginally better overall performance and greater battery life.

>>55969474
The 7's battery lasts longer than OP3's. I too dislike the need for bigger resolutions. Kind of worthless. Tbh after the OPO OnePlus fell of really hard.
>>
>>55969527
Heat is the main concern for my 5x bc i can barely charge it if it throttles.

I didn't browse /spg/ when I got the 5x but now I obviously know how bad of a fuck up I did.
>>
>>55969487
How could fall for the Nexus meme. Never fall for the Nexus meme famalam

5x a shit.
>>
>>55969406
Yeah, the iPhone looks to be faster as well.

I realize that the S7 blows the iPhone specs out of the water but the iPhone appears to come together for a better overall experience.
>>
>>55969584
>the spec meme

Dude, never listen so "on paper specs" they dont matter.
Software plays a big part, that´s why the iphone manages to be atleast on par with other devices while seemingly be greatly underpowered.

It all comes down to preference. Many consider IOS a dealbreaker.
But if you can live with that, the iphone´s a great choice
>>
>>55969540
Is the OP3 worth getting so?
I know its a chink phone, but I dont want to go deeper into the chink getting a Axon-whatever

Battery life does not matter as much, as it can only be better than my s5 now
>>
>>55969658
Yeah, I guess. Admittedly the chink rabbit hole goes very deep. Try not to get caught up in the hype. Just know that if your OP3 gets fucked, OP customer support is Mao-tier.
>>
>DOOGEE's company facebook said in June that several of their phones using android 5.1 would be updated to android 6.0 on July
>DOOGEE F5 that I got for free and was just released on November of 2015 was supposed to be updated
>July arrives
>Bug fixes and nothing else
And that's how I dropped this company, terrible customer support too
Don't get phones from no name chink companies
>>
>>55969674
Is there any other customer service besides apple´s thats even worth to mention?

How are the updates though. Will I have to wait for like 3 years to get Android N eventually?
>>
>>55969674
I've lurked the leddit for the oneplus and several anecdotals are coming up positive. but im sure not everyone bitches on the forums even if their experiences have been absolute shit

>>55969710
Google's is p fantastic (5,5x,6p)
>>
>>55969710
OP3 is new so expect N around September-October after the latest Nexi drop. And of course the usual security updates. What you shouldn't expect from them is: getting back to you after ticketing them, sending back stuff to get fixed (sometimes it never comes back) and definitely taking software advice from them. I had the shittiest time with my OPO. ended up just XDA'ing everything even the hardware fixes
>>
>>55969495
My G3 can't last to lunch with all the demand of needing to send a few text. Not sure how fast the new one will get root, which some things I do it is required otherwise I wouldn't bother. (not the battery either I have 3 new batteries thinking it must be something wrong its just retarded design)

>>55969540
Sounds promising. Thing is a monster for its price, hell its a monster for twice its price. Is it stock android or can it be made stock?


>>55969561
Damn that is sad. I loved my Nexus 4. I'ld still fucking use it now if it wasn't for its inability to work on my network. Its battery life is sadly longer then the G3.
>>
>>55969749
The phones themselves are good. Admittedly a lot of people will like the initial impression, but the real litmus test is after six to twelve months. That's when a lot of long-term complaint posts enter the scene. Hardware issues are well, hardware issues. Overall OP phones are good; OPO is still one of the best phones out there right now, OP2 is as well but apparently has more issues. I don't fuck with the OP3 though
>>
>>55969749
Alright, that helps! Thanks for your input.

I´ll probably wait for the new Nexus devices and eventually decide then.
The OP3 cant be shipped until September here in Europe but I´ll be sure to get one if the Nexus is too pricy here (they really made them expensive here)
>>
>>55969756
I rather give it to some crazy town tech guy before sending it in lol
But oh well its not like Samsung would have helped me with my s5 either.
Maybe OnePlus becomes mainstream and they have to adapt to western customer support standarts
>>
>>55969828
>OnePlus
>mainstream

My nigga, Carl Pei (CEO) thought OnePlus would be on Apple and Samsung's level back when OnePlusOne came out like 3 years ago. Chinks are going to chink, they'll never be mainstream

Just stick to the poo in loo techs or XDA

Give it a few months. Days and weeks won't suffice. You may end up enjoying it.

>>55970006
It's not. We're simply given many options that elude to choice when most phones are really the same. I have a shortlist of things I look for and it helps me greatly.
>>
>>55970115
What I´m looking for (if you wanna help me)

>Screen must be big - I love to watch videos etc
>It must be FAST
>it should be fast for lets say 2 years
>Camera should be good
>IOS, Android does not matter. If the new iphone´s good its worth a consideration. A clean android experience would be favoured though
>Battery life should be atleast okay. Anything above 3000mhp is fine
>not a no-name chinkphone

The rest is basically in the package with anything above
>>
>>55970115
I dunno I'm with him its a struggle sometimes.

Specs on paper are meaningless. I have a list as well, but damn do all the companies want to shove some stupid useless shit feature out there that is half baked half working and all garbage rather than focusing on just being a good device.

Good Battery, Root, Stock Android, 32+ gb

All I want. But they want to cram in battery draining screens, buggy features that aren't stock I never use, and make the phone the size of a tablet.

Yo /g/ I need some help and this seems like the best place to go to.

Last year I had a Galaxy S5 and could play the first three Zenonia games (that are no longer supported by the developers) on it with no problem. Then I got an LG V10 and I now they immediately crash.

I'm willing to do just about whatever the fuck it takes to get these games working on my V10. I just have no idea where to start or what direction to go into. I've gotten jack shit from googling for a solution so any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't care if I have to root or pay money or what the fuck ever, I just want these games to work on this phone that should absolutely be able to play them! Thanks again for any help

Based Marshmallow and Exynos.
>>
>>55970203
>>55970287
It's called a shortlist for a reason. You start with deal breakers. Pick three things that you don't want in a phone. If any - and I mean any - phone has even one, don't consider it. It's the best vetting process. Two of my deal breakers (now) are non-removable batteries and lack of expandable storage.

I've been looking for a smartphone to replace my OPO since 2015 and I settled with the Note 4. Big screen, removable/expandable battery, SDXC SD slot up to 2TB, 500ppi screen, 32GB, 3GB RAM, SD805, 3220mAh. Had it for four months now. I have a 256GB EVO+ SD in it, a 10000mAh ZL battery case attached + spare 4500mAh Anker batteries. Haven't had any issues with Touch jizz and it's probably the only decent Samsung phone after the S4

It's all on the deal breakers

Hi /spg/ I would be posting this on /csg/ but there's going to be a new thread soon so I'll post here first instead. I have made a spreadsheet for the cheapest android phones you can buy from GearBest, showing phone specifications. All these phones are in the £30-£40 range. I see two viable options here, the first one is the KingZone S2 that has the biggest battery size at 2300MAh. The second option, the Oukitel C3 has also a decent battery size battery but offers a higher screen resolution than the rest and it will be my choice for when I buy my new chinkphone today! I hope this helps some of you.

Links to the 2 phones:

KingZone: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_360823.html?wid=21

(£38.49)

Oukitel: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_357052.html?wid=11

(£37.33)
>>
>>55974521
Also noted the Oukitel has a bigger screen and better cameras.
>>
>>55973812
Damn that puts me back down to Axon 7, 5x, or just holding out in hopes the next batch of Nexus are really good.

>Doesn't lag even when playing high-demand games like FF Mobius.
>MiUI is better than expected, most bloat can be uninstalled. Nova is still a better homescreen.
>Music player element of the notification bar integrates well with most music players including PowerAmp. However clicking the menu itself opens the shitty stock music app.
>Capacitive buttons are too fucking sensitive, as in it goes apeshit if you accidentally breathe on it. Let's not get started with your fingers accidentally touching them. Luckily there's an easily accesible software on/off toggle for it.
>Upgrading my firmware disables LTE option for some reason, forcing me to downgrade. Probably because my country supports a grand total of 1 (one) LTE band.
>You can literally ask permission from Xiaomi to unlock your bootloader which they usually grant after a few days.
>It's impossible to softbrick the device. Good for people who didn't know what they're doing/first time fucking around with root/recovery (i.e. me)

How is the build quality and what was your previous phone? I have a nexus 4 now and I am considering RN3P as an upgrade option along with current and future nexus phones
>>
>>55976238
Build quality is pretty good, although all the extra battery made it felt considerably heavier. Put a silicon soft case and a tempered glass cover on it (the latter is shit and collects fingerprints sadly, actual screen is good). Fingerprint sensor is blazing fast and the best thing since sliced bread although I had it bug out on me once.

Camera is a bit shit but I don't use them a lot so it's fine. For $130 it's really fucking decent.

My previous phone was the Samsung S4, which unfortunately has fallen into the hands of Tyrone Mcquickfingers. I swear I'm flashing in Cerberus this time.

Asking again.

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.

I'm on global 7.5
>>
>>55976915
Circuitry might be a bit fucked up. Did you try test it with another headphones? Preferrably they must have different impedance ratings (read: connect some huge ass monitors), just to see if the noise is because of hardware or software.
>>
>>55977083
Forgot to include that. Yes my huge ass 300ohm cans do not have the same hiss.

I'll have to try with some other IEMs.
>>
>>55976915
>hiss like there's too much power going to the drivers?
wat
>>55977146
I'd bet your IEMs have a much higher sensitivity (dB/mW), so they are more susceptible to make hiss audible. You may want to try flight mode and see if that helps, otherwise it's just the noise of the cheap integrated amp.

A price will be announced further down the line as well. Do keep an eye out on our social media channels for any updates on this. Thanks again, the ZTE UK team.

>>
>>55977445
Well, hiss and distortion is quite different. Hiss usually describes broadband noise (eg. white noise).
I have no idea what would cause distortion at all volume levels, I'd think that should get worse with higher output and better with lower volume settings.

AS i thought, that's not the latest official version. latest version is: V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD (MIUI7)

Since your'e planning to return the phone anyway I suggest you try to flash the latest rom and see if it might fix your issue.

Upon further inspection, it seems 7.5.3.0 is official global, but it's full of bugs so they pulled it from the official download page.

http://en.miui.com/download-301.html

http://en.miui.com/thread-315741-41-1.html

I still suggest flashing to 7.3.7.0 OR to the beta MiUi 8 rom. official global 8.0 should release end of the month either way.

Speakers arent great other stuff checks out. Then again the speakers arent bad quality or anything, just not stereo.

I need a new phone tomorrow. So I can't preorder anything and I I have an upgrade with my plan, sprint, going to best buy when I wake up. Thinking about getting either a g5, a moto z [probably not, the no headphone jack thing is turbo retarded, even though i did the moto mods] or I might get an iphone, I haven't had one in like 5 years and they seem comfy, especially the se, even though it's a budget phone. Can you still not get mp3 files on an iphone without jumping through itunes hoops?
>>
>>55978132
G5 is shit
Moto Z is shit.
iPhone SE is ultra shit.

Horrible choices.

>Can you still not get mp3 files on an iphone without jumping through itunes hoops?
Yep
>>
>>55978447
What should I go for?
>>
>>55978046
OP3 if you want a longer lasting better software and software support, good camera, unlocked bootloader and you don't care about the lower resolution screen, which is still the choice by many reviewers and myself, because I don't see the difference from 20 cm and I don't want to jack off to VR porn in a headset like a retard.

Axon 7 if you want the better sound quality, mSD slot and higher res screen.

I choose neither afterall, I'll be fine with my note4 'til the next nexus shitphone.

Does CCleaner makes any sense for mobile use?
>>
>>55978475
If you have unlimited funds the HTC 10 will probably be your best choice

Runs a version of sense that is near identical to stock Android except with more features, has great sound quality, great build quality, good camera, and and good screen that might be slightly worse than Samsung's but is more accurate and is IPS so you won't have to worry about burn in after a year

If I had the money I'd get one but I got an older phone that was cheap instead

Is there anything better than the Oneplus 3 for up to 500€?
Is there anything better coming out in the following 3 months for up to 500€?

My main requirements are that the damn thing works without a million bugs and is fast. All I do with my phone is watch porn, browse internets, watch youtube, listen to music (also through bluetooth in my car) and general phone usage such as calls and mails. I also want it to be future proof, should last me at least 2 major android updates before I resort to bored indians on XDA and their XxXepin_ultrafastxXx custom roms.

I want something powerful and fast because I do a lot of browsing and I often multitask through various apps and do heavy web browsing.

Bendable, overheating SoC, still expensive compared to stuff like OP3 especially higher storage, will get replaced by new Nexus phones in 1.5~ months. It's got a lot of pluses but a lot of minuses too.

Only problem is new nexus phones will be stupid expensive as well.
>>
>>55981024
I've heard all that before and frankly, those are the reasons I still haven't purchased one. Just wanted to see if those problems persisted.
>Only problem is new nexus phones will be stupid expensive as well.
You think? That's a bit disappointing, but if they're legitimate flagships I can't complain.
>>
>>55981066
Well, since the Nexus phones never have a microSD, you'd probably want at least 64GB on it to get by reasonably. The OP3 is similar and has 64GB for 399, but the larger Nexus will probably be at least 500 for the same, and maybe 650 for a 128GB. If they put in a mSD slot, I'd have no qualms buying a $450 phone with 16GB ROM built in.
>>
>>55981130
How high are the chances that the new Nexus will be noticeably faster than the OP3? If it's going to use the Snapdragon 820+Adreno 530 I think the OP3 will still be a better buy right now unless you really care about day one updates.

I'm really undecided if I should keep the OP3 I got a week ago or resurrect some older phone and wait for the new Nexus.
>>
Is there some kind of current phone recommendation chart going?

In any case I am looking for a phone with a good screen (1080p will do just fine), good design, micro sd, and decent battery life. What should I get?

>>
>>55981231

I've heard bad things about the OP3 though. Like RAM management and general performance issues.
>>
>>55981273
Well money isn't really an object for me. However I still want to get my money's worth.
>>
>>55981231
Budget? Screen size? For an average phone with your specs, I would consider the Xperia Z3. Ihad it before getting the OnePlus 3 and I loved the fuck out of it. I got the OP3 because I wanted something noticeably more powerful and 5.5 inches with softkeys because I always hated the software navbar stealing muh screen space.
>>
>>55981303
see
>>55978538
>>
>>55981211
No idea. Only factor is if Android N is far superior to M.

Speaking of though, how is the OP3? I do a lot of manga reading on my phone and I'm curious if the screen's sub 1080p resolution makes it irritating to read.

>>55981301
They patched the RAM issue, and you can edit the RAM configs yourself if you root. I think the OP3 is fairly speedy though, it's really the lack of SD and the chinky screen that deters me. I'd easily take $450 for a better screen and mSD slot.
>>
>>55981301
I have the OP3 and after the latest updates the memory management got a lot better. It's not just placebo but if you look at any comparison on youtube it's almost as good as the iPhone 6s, it kills everything else running Android atm. I've seen the Huawei P9 Plus beating it in loading times though, but that phone is ridiculously expensive.

>>55981336
>Speaking of though, how is the OP3? I do a lot of manga reading on my phone and I'm curious if the screen's sub 1080p resolution makes it irritating to read.

The screen is just fine for me. I also do a lot of reading but mostly on websites. Quality wise is comparable to the screen found on the Samsung Galaxy S5 but with better sunlight legibility (from what I can remember since I don't have the S5 anymore). You can tweak the white balance and use sRGB mode if you want more muted and warmer colors. I like colder colors and like slightly oversaturated displays so the display is just fine with me. The pentile matrix is relatively noticeable in certain cases though, but I have very sharp eyesight. My screen has a dead pixel but I don't mind it because it's on the side, I have no issues with uneven whites or grays. Overall I'd rate the display an 8/10 where the Galaxy S7 is a 10.

Is the Moto Z any good? Motorola's quick charge and ShatterShield stuff are usually pretty good. Might go with the HTC10 though because i've heard some good things about it. I'm on Verizon by the way, in case the Moto Z stuff didn't give it away

>My mom has been using a Cubot Dinosaur for a few weeks now, I used it for a single week before that. I was pleasantly surprised for a 95-euro phone. The only complaints I can hurl at it is that the GPS is kinda spotty when it's cloudy, and that it doesn't have a gyroscope (as far as I can tell) even though it's advertised. Everything else is what I would consider above expectation for the price, including the performace, design and feel, battery life (!) and sound quality.

>i have a dino myself. for ~80€ it is a solid phone. it has one big problem. the battery saver function is bugged and will shut down apps after a while in standby. as a result you will have trouble receiving phone calls ans texts. also your music player will stop after a while when the screen is off. i rooted it and froze the shit out of the battery saver app. now everything works as it should.

I'm looking to get one used under $500 from ebay.

It's a lot cheaper though. It's about $440 where I live while the HTC10 is $649.

Why buy a $600-$700 phone? I understand that it's an item people use everyday, but the returns aren't much better than a $300-$400 phone, are they?

What I get is that premium phones are great all-in-one devices and really portable, but I don't think any one person is going to make use of any significant portion of a phone's features.

Essentially, you buy a phone for $600 phone that does a-s really well, but all you use is features a,b,c,e,m, and u. So why isn't the market-focus on 'mid-tier' phones with less features that are more personal?

I really need what you're describing - a mid tier phone that will also last me 2 years

>Typical social apps: Snapchat/Facebook/IG

>Whatsapp/Texts

>WiFi Spotify / YouTube

>Battery life over 4hrs SOT

>No Gaming except for Pokemon GO

>Under $400

I live in Canada but can ship to my friend in the states. But I'd rather not bc of warranty reasons.

Where can I buy the Axon 7 from Europe (Italy)?

Also is the Axon 7 better than OnePlus3 in any category that matters? From what I can tell it's slightly better in terms of screen, audio, and has a micro sd slot. Everything else is inferior to the OP3.

regardless of le memes on /g/ iphone 6s is probably one of the most well rounded smartphones on the market

>>55985269
So you would recommend the iPhone despite the lack of features?
>>
>>55985278
if you are the poster I'm responding to, why did you even considering the iPhone if you are complaining about a lack of features? Get the note 7 then retard
>>
>>55985293
Lacking features isn't subjective.

The reason I'm considering the iPhone is that I keep seeing that overall the iPhone is a more cohesive product that just works better.
>>
>>55984403
I know the S5 runs Pokemon, I just wanted to make sure /g/ didn't recommend some old neckbeard shit like the moto g or whatever the current meme phone is. My S5 is getting kinda beat, and the USB cover broke off yesterday so I figured I might start looking at something newer.

Isn't the 3 pro a RN3P with 5" display and better battery ?

Ok I've been struggling for months and I'm losing my mind. I just need a mid tier phone (preferably purchasable in Canada and non contract- but I can do US shipping to my friends) that can do the following:


>Typical social apps: Snapchat/Facebook/IG

>Whatsapp/Texts

>WiFi Spotify / YouTube

>Battery life over 4hrs SOT

>Multitasking to be decent (so minimum 2GB RAM?)

>No Gaming except for Pokemon GO at the moment

>Maximum $400 USD / $530 CAD

>MicroSD not necessary

>Decent phone speakers, not very important

I can have my phone shipped to the States if necessary (friend lives there) but I worry about warranty/repairs if the phone has problems here in Toronto so I'd rather not.
