But would an S7 or a Note 7 be good if I want a phone with a good camera and good sound through headphones? I use a mini jack to hook my phone up to my car stereo. Right now I'm using an old galaxy s4 mini. My trusty xperia z1 suffered battery death and life is suffering. I have big hands, so a 5.5 or 5.7 inch fits me fine.
>>
>>56102648
Yes... the only phones with better headphone output are the HTC 10 and LG V10, and you aren't likely to notice the difference unless you have some very good car audio. Anything with SD820 will sound better than your S4 Mini. The Note 7 uses the new Qualcomm codec so it should sound better than the S7 or S7e, though.

>Is there a huge difference between the Exynos and Snapdragon S7?
Yes there is. The Exynos is comparable to the iPhone 6s in speed but the Snapdragon is plain inferior. The Exynos is also more power efficient and has longer battery life.
The Snapdragon has a better GPU than the Exynos so it does perform better on some games at high settings once ingame or some shit.

I'm a very heavy phone user, but I doubt I'm very demanding. What kind of user would benefit most?

I've heard the OP3 essentially doesn't benefit at all from 6GB because memory management is aggressive so as not to kill battery life.

If you're always switching between tons of apps and never want them to have to reload, then the 6GB will be helpful. Otherwise you will probably benefit more from fast charging.

>The performance issues aren't just limited to benchmarks. Motorola's previous phones provided a smooth experience despite their limited specifications, and the Moto G4 and G4 Plus are significantly jankier throughout the UI, with even the simplest of ListViews stuttering at times. This is most certainly an issue of software rather than hardware, and stability issues with tests like PCMark battery don't inspire any confidence in the Moto G4's software quality either. Couple that with Motorola refusing to commit to monthly security updates and there's a lot of reason to be concerned about whether the Moto G4 is ever going to get to a state where it's performant and secure.

Hey /g/uys
My girlfriend is looking to get a new phone. She currently has a samsung prevail that came free with her phone plan. She really doesn't use her phone, prefers to do everything on her computer, but we have been playing pokemon go together and the prevail is just not cutting it. We are looking for a good cheap phone to play pokemon go and other mobile games. The cheaper the better. We are in US and on At&t.

>>56106184
Forgot to mention, I have a iphone 6 and the main issue is her comparing her gameplay to mine. Pokemon, pokestops, etc load faster on m ine.

Should I go for an old flagship phone, or a newer cheap phone?
>>
>>56105444
If you get the se don't made da same mistake as I did and get the space grey version.

If you don't want the se just wait until next month and get the iphone 7

>>56106226
>Iphone se
That is a bit out of our budget. She really doesn't use her phone all that much.

Yeah that stopped me from buying a 6s last Friday, I don't like that white color front.
I guess I'll go with a se 64gb, it's cheaper than the 6s.
How long the battery lasts through the day?

The se has better specs than your iPhone 6. Has the same internals has the 6s. Also will have better battery life due to the smaller screen. 16 gb version which is more than enough to play Pokemon go with is only 400 smackaroos. Hell of a good deal m8.

Considering we are only playing pokemon go the $400 is a bit too pricey. We were actually looking at the amazon Blu R1. I know it can't do AR but we are just buying it to play pokemon go.
>>
>>56106299
Idk, I've never owned an iphone before. My first (ugly space grey se) gets here tomorrow and can't wait. Trying to stay up late so I sleep in all day. That way it will be here as soon as I wake up instead of having to wait in anticipation for ups to get here.

If you're ok with the bigger display of the 6s you should just wait another month for the 7 to be released. I would have done the same but I want a small phone and from everything I've read they won't be releasing a 4 inch display iphone 7. Not sure how good the battery life of the se will be but I heard it's better than both the 6s and the regular 6 because of it's smaller screen.

Do you even know how much you are getting for only 400 dollars? I'm not sure what YOU don't understand. Good luck on becoming a Pokemen master without your gf because it's clear that you don't care if she succeeds or not. You gotta "catch'em all" haha right? Fuck your gf she doesn't even have what it takes to become a Pokemen master so why waist money on HER when you could be putting those resources to better use on yourself?

The redmi pro with the x25 doesnt look bad but how are the chances to get cm on a mediatek processor?

Had to give up my redmi3, it just wasn't very comfortable to hold and the gps was shit, otherwise great value.

Anyway, moved on to a samsung A3 2016, for smaller screen, oled, hardware buttons and it's pretty nice despite the reduction in battery life.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else things android 5+ settings menus are now shit, the xiaomi settings at least you could customise what the front buttons did on touch and hold, but there's nothing on the A3.

There's also modern vibrate motors always feeling a bit shit for good haptic feedback. My old sgs3 had a nice snappy response where you could set it to low vibrate time comfortably. But on these newer phones they feel like they need to vibrate for longer or they just sort of do nothing or blunder, is that just not having a flagship phone anymore problem?

they say moto g4 is heating in gaming. i don't play games like asphalt as i am a sane person, but i'm curious that if its a sign for some worse problems.

also
>Moto G4 and G4 Plus are significantly jankier throughout the UI, with even the simplest of ListViews stuttering at times. This is most certainly an issue of software rather than hardware, and stability issues with tests like PCMark battery don't inspire any confidence in the Moto G4's software quality either.

>>
>>56107788
As an androidfag
Camera thing is a lie
Storage thing is even argued under android fags
Not everyone wants yorrents
Battery life is better than nexus
The file browser thing isn't necessary for most people but jailbreak exists (voiding warranty just like root)
I'll give you the lagtunes one (autocorrect wanted to replace it to latrines) but most have a mbair with lagtunes anyway
Flash drive thing is a lie there are apps which act like a file manager inside the app, so you can put stuff in it through you pc's iTunes and open the app thing through a other iTunes. Excuse my English.
No back button is true reaching in the top left corner is counter intuitive
Multi tasking is getting better with more RAM
Less shit apps
What you can add is the fact that most usefull jailbreak tweaks have a paywall
>>
>>56102062
So I had a S7 but coming from a Note 5 seemed like a downgrade.
>>
>>56108100
>camera thing is a lie
They have average cameras. Most chink phones have an equally good camera, iPhones just have better software which makes your pictures look pretty, which both Samsung and Sony have just with much better cameras.
>storage thing is even argued under Android fags
What do you mean by this?
>file browser isn't necessary
Who are you lying to? That's one of the most important things on any device. It's been on phones in the last 20 years.
>flash drive thing is a lie
So you're saying you can put a windows or a linux distribution on an iPhone, plug it into your pc and boot it from your phone? You can't, because you depend on iTunes which you wouldn't be able to access while your pc is booting.
>multitasking is better with more RAM
You also need better processors, but iPhones have decent ones, although only 2 cores.
>less shit apps
But still more apps which are useful for a lot of people. And you can always filter through shit apps.
>not everyone wants to torrent
Same as above, even though most people don't do it at least the ones who do have the ability to do so easily, same goes with anything apple users claim is irrelevant. The truth is with Android phones you get more by paying less. IPhones are exclusively a social media phone, while androids are pocket computers, and phones all in one. Which do you think is better?

Greetings, /spg/. Looking for a decent new phone, as my Galaxy Nexus started failing.

-decent performance is fine, not looking for a supercomputer
-battery life is important
-do not care for camera
-budget is midrange. $200-$400. Cannot afford flagship

Am looking at Samsung A7 and A9 pro, both with big batteries and decent prices/specs, but I hate TouchWiz. What are some good alternatives? Where can I research good alternatives? Any rumours about the next Nexus price?
>>
Is there any way to buy more than one Blu R1 HD Prime Edition from Amazon?

Increase your budget by $30 and you're good.
Don't be a cheap fuck.

If I can find something with the same specs and without touchwiz, I would go for that. TouchWiz is cancer. Or was cancer when I used it last.

Its only wasteful if he throws his phone away. If he sells it someone else is gonna use it, and if he keeps it as a backup its still doing a job.

I have a 5S that works fine, but I hate it. I'm absolutely selling it and getting a new phone when my contract is up.

Xiaomi is the gentoo of /spg/. Anon who responded was just trolling you. Nobody would ever recommend you chinkshit beside ZTE here. On that note co sider the Axon 7, it's currently the best bang for the buck phone out there and actually has real reviews and ratings on Amazon.

Currently have a Note 4. Bought it because it had amazing specs, a removable battery, SD card slot, and a nice screen.

I'm due for my 2 year upgrade, but I haven't been keeping up with phones wt all for the past 2 years. My question is, is there any phone out right now (or coming out very soon) that would be a worthwhile upgrade for me? Or should I just continue using my Note 4? It's still in good condition.

>>
>>56110585

There's really nothing special enough even in Note 7 to upgrade. Unless you want an iris scanner... Considering it doesn't have a removable battery I would consider it a downgrade instead. Just buy a new battery for $10 and use your Note 4 for another 2 years at least. There, saved you $700.
>>
>>56109916
You don't like big screens? Most phablets have better specs.
>>
>>56110901

Also if you want to root you can upgrade at least Note 3 with Note 7 firmware and use all the features. Not sure about 4.

Whatever man

Anyway, am I the only one who's surprised by the average Note 7 reviews ?
>The final thing I want to discuss as far as the software experience goes is performance. While TouchWiz is generally performant I still find lag here similar to the Galaxy S7. To prove I’m not crazy I did a very simple scrolling test between the HTC 10 and Galaxy Note7 on the same application on the same pages doing a very slow scroll on content that had already been preloaded and without any notable transitions. The Galaxy Note7 consistently drops frames right as the scrolling stops while the HTC 10 stays fairly close to 60 FPS throughout this very simple test, which just highlights the kind of frustrations that I have with Samsung software. I’m fairly confident that Samsung has the engineering staff capable of resolving these issues so it’s frustrating to see how this kind of thing just never seems to get fixed. These kinds of issues make it easy to think that Samsung really only cares about things that can be easily marketed rather than things that make for a good user experience, and judging by how Samsung can quickly turn around and fix things like iconography they need to take smoothness seriously if they want to continue justifying their pricing structure.

A more compact phone like Z5 might be better for that even though the N4 isn't really heavy despite its size. It's more portable while note is more suited for things like smartphone things.

Had it for two and half years; this week im getting it upgraded to Nexus 5x (I hope you guys didnt meme me and it's p.good). S3 mini is unusable without flashing it with CFW, it has no fucking pros except amoled and macro focus.
After flashing it, you can run it with decent smoothness, but forget about browsing web or using keyboard in other apps than mail/messages. It's fucking humiliating when you want to open a simple page and wait more than a minute with constant reloadings.

If I have the cash to buy a Note 7 outright, does it matter which carrier I buy it from? Will a Note 7 bought from say Verizon work on any network?

I'm trying to learn about how buying phones works. My parents always did this stuff for me before. I'm still on an iPhone 4.

You will have to/absolutely should wait for the unlocked model. Carrier branded models usually only have bands that work best for that model, not to mention the carrier will stand between you and software updates.

That's what I feared because I kind of want the free Gear Fit2 that comes with the pre-order. I have a very physical job and I'm curious to know how many steps I take and calories I burn over a 12-hour shift. I'm guessing it's at least 15 miles. I'd also like to see my heart rate and calories burned during a Starting Strength session.

Any opinion on the upcoming Turing phone running Sailfish OS?

Anyone know if I can actually switch carriers at costco or if have to actually call the two relevant carriers? At any rate I'll find out tomorrow when I get a new phone.

Isn't the OnePlus 3 the same price only better?
>>
>>56116223
Axon 7 has better specs so /g/ is shilling it but it's still shittier than OP3.
>>
>>56116094
Can I have your wallpaper?

>>56114804
I expected it to last longer but there's a power saving mode and ultra saving mode which reduces performance to save power.

Why do you need Knox though?

So what's a good OS for to use for samsung phones?

same price but shittier

>>56116288
C'mon man that shit has a piss colored yellow screen with a super low res, the worst battery life available, and no fucking micro sd slot. op3 is fucking moldy dogshit compared to the axon 7.

Stopping by to endorse the two best budget phones:

Moto E (2nd gen) LTE,

and more recently the Moto G4 Play
>>
>>56117030
Those are literally the worst budget phones out there.

ZTE Warp Elite and LG G3 is where it's at.

>>56117058
>lg g3

it's great if you from /fit/
just watch a video when you doing your 15 min cardio at the end of the workout, then crack and cook a egg on the back of it. it's really versatile phone.

Anyone that has a 2016 625 snapdragon Smartphone could test and confirm if it can run with MX Player Pro a HEVC 720p and 1080p video hardware accelerated?

I'm considering upgrading from my ancient Galaxy S4 to a Zenfone 3.
Still not very happy on going to a unremovable battery smartphone. Only reason my S4 lasted this long was because I could chep and easily change the Battery on it when it started to die out.

Enjoy your samshit slowing to a crawl 6 months after release. Or the glass on the back breaking because fuck making a phone out of glass is a good idea.

I find IOS utterly shit. If I got an Iphone 6 for free I would sell it without thinking twice, but if you are a casual and like it and don't give a fuck for your privacy why not?

>buying chinese phones
i'm chinese and i don't even do this. xiaomi >>>> huawei tho
iphone or samsung or motorola or nexus. also must be rootable + have solid rom support.
>>
>>56117798
its pretty rude to sell a gift you were given but if you want to be an ass sell it and either get the oneplus or save a bit and get a fancier phone like htc 10

>>56117859
had a samsung galaxy grand prime. didn't even last a year until the glass broke. but to be fair i did drop it so

>>56117703
Since no one answered I decided to provide a link with a 1080p 10 bit HEVC sample:
https://my.mixtape.moe/quucce.mkv

If anyone with a midrange androind could be so kind as to test if it runs smoothly and if the hardware acceleration works I'd be very thankful.

>>56117901
He said he's find with whatever I want to do with it.
I've known him my whole life and I'm struggling a bit financially so he wanted to kinda spoil me once I guess.
Would the OP3 be better than the iphone 6?
Idc about the OS I care more about what's the better phone in terms of general software and hardware

I have an S4 for over 3,5 years now. Works as perfect as day one. Just had to buy new batteries. I wasn't retard to update it tough, still running 4.4.2
>>
Do you use wearable tech with your phone?
What for?
>>
Does anyone have a galaxy s6 edge running marshmallow? Is it any good?
>>
>>56118118
ah fuck it. yes the hardware is better is better on the oneplus but software is objective so ill leave it to you. i personally would get the oneplus if you cant afford something more expensive

I do..runs fine

Are there any smaller sized Android phones out there that aren't complete dogshit and are available for AT&T?

I currently have a Motorola Atrix HD, which is about four years old and a laggy dogpile with a battery life of maybe 3 hours on a good day if I dont use it at all. The one thing I like about it is the size (4.5 inch screen).

I've been putting off getting a new phone because I dont like how large modern android phones, and I'm worried that getting a non-flagship phone will be a let down like the past two phones I've had. I'm considering just getting an iPhone. I dont use my phone for anything special.
>>
>>56116872
it's laggy as fuck

Just get an Iphone. Nothing beats it at sub 5 inches.

getting an iphone soon and I mostly used my previous blackberry as a porn device, what apps should I get for the iphone?(comic/cbr/zip reader, video player, other cool stuff, etc.) Also does all file transfering have to be done through itunes or am I not that fucked?
>>
>>56118835
see >>56107788

I have one of these turds btw.

kill me
>>
>>56118932
dang, something as simple as file transferring is really that fucked? I'm getting it anyway but jesus, it takes some mastery to fuck up something so simple.
>>
>>56119047
So despite all the problems iPhones have you're still gonna get one? Mostly tech illiterate people get them (like I used to be). What are you even doing on /g/?

Father said he got one for my birthday next week and it's a step up from what I have (currently can't play pokemon go, can't play idol games either). Surely there's a way to get my doujins and javs into the thing but I'm still upset there's a hurdle for that in the first place.

why is everyone so upset with phones that don't have room for expandable memory? is 64BG really not enough

You have to be 18 to post here on 4chan sweetie.

What do you people who have/had Notes use the stylus for? I ordered one because I've been using iOS since the S3 but I might return it if I don't like it a lot better than my 6S+. I'm just tired of iOS's shit and think removing the 3.5mm jack is dumb.
>>
>>56119243
>why is everyone so upset with phones that don't have room for expandable memory?
Because it gives you the freedom to be able to expand the storage you have on your phone.

>is 64BG really not enough
I don't know what 64BG is but storage requirements vary from person to person but one thing is certain, that requirement grows. People record more video, their music/video library grows, ect.

Anyway being able to upgrade your storage is a must for anyone who does more than text/talking on a phone (most people) and it's cheap as fuck too. A single 128GB micro SD card goes for $30-40.

If you get a phone with a SDXC slot (most) then you can keep your phone longer because it will be able to accept up to 2TB micro SD cards when they come out in a few years.
>>
>>56119326
>not streaming them
why
>>
>>56119713
>>not streaming them
>why
Because the cloud is an unreliable botnet piece of shit. When you are able to transfer 128GB of data at 600+ Mbps 24/7 everywhere you go for a one time fee of $30 then we might start taking the cloud more seriously.

Nobody is autistic enough to do that. Most people don't have 500PB of bloatgirls chinese cartoons. 128-200 GB of storage is more than enough to fit most of their favorite media on their phone.

Does the Redmi note 3 pro work well on T-Mobile?
>>
>>56120220
Nobody is using that gay shit cloud meme my man, just accept that. The war is over, expandable storage won. The only reason people buy iPhones or Android phones without expandable storage is because they're tech illiterate.
>>
>>56120220
sure bud
>implying its just for phones
>can literally access my media when i want
its like a home server expect if the whole worlds was your home
>>
>>56120274
Most people ARE tech illiterate. For the large majority of cellphone users, the saleswoman at their carrier store sets up Touch ID and iCloud (or whatever) for them and they use their phone that way.

Doesn't matter, this is /g/, no tech illiterates belong on here.
