>no good phones when i finally got money

Welp. I cry, then. My Windows Phone is on the way out, so I need a replacement ASAP.
Only got 350 eurodosh to spend on a new phone.
Please advise!
Also where in Europe buy phones online?

Those specs of the redmi note 4 seem kinda meh to me. Not many upgrades besides the supposed cpu upgrade.

>>56141174
Yeah I hope that leak is wrong. previous leak said SD625 for the R4 and SD652 for the RN4 which is much better than MTK P10/X20.

>Yeah I hope that leak is wrong. previous leak said SD625 for the R4 and SD652 for the RN4 which is much better than MTK P10/X20.

Well I guess there could still be snapdragon versions later on maybe as a pro model. But still besides the cpu there aren't any notable upgrades I feel. i also sincerely hope this time it's of better build quality.

>>56141144
higher your budget by 50 euros and buy a oneplus3

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I can get an Xperia Z5 Performance for like $250 (with a contract, though)

Is that worth it? I kinda like the look of recent Xperia phones, and it seems like a pretty good deal.

>>56141388
Not in a contract man. Don't be conned.

I'm currently living in Japan where my options are basically get a contract or roll the dice on a used phone and MVNO that may or may not work.

I'm pretty sure this is telling me if I switch over from a different carrier I get a huge discount. It offsets the cost of the plan, to some degree

Are there any real downsides to the OnePlus3? I seem to remember discussing updates with a friend and apparently OP don't put out updates terribly often?

>>56141431
Lack of SD card is the reason i won't get one, software updates w ere pretty good iirc though? Though that might be good for chink phones.

>>56141461
The lack of SD card bugs me but it does have 64Gb of storage so I'm alright with that to be honest.

Do Chinkphones update just like a regular Western bought phone or what

>>56141461
Video didnt seem that great on all the reviews, especially stabilization was subpar iirc. Otherwise for the lack of sd and stereo speakers theres nothing better for the price.

I would look to an axon 7 for hw or opo3 for software

I'm about to buy a oneplus 3 next week /g/uys.
Any last words on whether I should go through with this decision?
I've been using iphones for most of my smartphone life.
And think today is the day I should switch.
Or is the Umi Max more like something I should wait for? (Specs look pretty decent)

guys I have a problem. my redmi note 3 pro (MIUI) keeps closing apps in the background. let's say I'm listening to internet radio while browsing. At some point the music just stops. And while the radio is still visible in the apptray (or whatever that thing is called where you can tab through all your active apps), whenever I try to maximise it it acts as if it had been started from scratch (back to the start menu, loading screen etc.). Any idea what's happening?

I just got this phone a day ago so I might be missing something easy. but at this point I feel like I'm using an old iOS.

>>56141415
their website?

>>56141579
I think that's a battery saving feature of MIUI, should be able to change it in settings.

>>56141640
do you mean the one M8 or the one mini 2?
the M8 is EOL and only good now if you put CM13 on it.
the one mini 2 has a SD400 which is super gimped and the phone didn't even get any updates and was stuck on 4.4.4 and doesn't even have any 3rd party ROMs.

Be real with me, /spg/.
Is there a point to having a tempered glass screen protector? Does it change anything if my phone has Gorilla Glass 4 screen?
I almost never seriously drop my phone and don't carry anything else in my phone pocket.

What benefit would a glass screen protector provide for me?
Can they actually protect phones from otherwise screen-shattering drops?

they're for scratches. Nothing will prevent your screen from shattering. Don't believe the marketing hype, your screen will get scratches, they may be tiny but it'll scratch, and if that bothers you then put on the screen protector.

>>56141886
So let's see, my first recommendations are the new Nexus and the HTC 10, what are you talking about faggot?

If you don't care about rooting, Samsung phones are good.

>>56141879
Yeah, I got one or two tiny 2mm scratches for some reason. They don't bother me as much as having another glass pane on my screen.
I guess I won't put glass on my next phone and see how it goes. Thanks!

>>56141610
Thanks, I think that did it. Kinda strange though since the default setting should have battery saving off.

Shit, they claim to give $220 in trade for my 5S.

So it'd basically be $30 to upgrade from an iPhone 5S I've used for 2 years to a new Xperia 5 Premium.

I might have to go for it. I wanted to wait for the Note 7, but this seems pretty good.

Is this a trap?

Is the note 4 edge a good purchase in 2016?

the phone is absolute cuhrazy especially nice if you have plenty 4k stored and you stream it with dlna, not that you need it, but it feels mustard anyways

if you can get this for that price you mentioned do it man

Hello /g/, I want a phone that has superAMOLED, lte for europe, 5.1' screen, bigger prefered. Thx. Ability to install custom ROM is a must

>>56142133
Why the fuck would you want a screen protector on its sand blasted back ?

>>56142174
Oh nevermind I'm retarded, Premium isn't sand blasted.

Why the fuck did they choose a lesser finish on the Premium model ?

>>56142192
>glass is fragile
It's much less fragile than you think it is, a screen protector isn't going to do shit when you slam your phone with a hammer because you're a fucking retard.

That said, the mirror finish is ridiculous and someone should be fired for this. I hope you get a matte screen protector for that thing, that's the only way you'll remedy that shitty finish.

>>56142193
there really isnt anything you can do on android that you cant do in a jailbroken iphone or viceversa. its been literally the same shit for the past 2 years.

i dunno what kind of person you are to slam your phone with a hammer

but i'll let you know my almost 4 year old z1 is practically in mint condition thanks to tempered glass screen protectors which would take the impact rather than the glass on the phone those times i have been unlucky
they don't even cost 5 bucks on ebay and it's a small investment to keep your pricy things in good condition

People I talk with using my xiaomi mi3 complain about terrible sound quality. Do you think it's something I could fix by replacing microphone? I'm not very concerned about breaking the whole thing.

How fucked am I?

Ordered a ZTE Axon 7. Going to sell my GS7 Edge if I like it better. I decided against that when I was considering it a while back, but since then it's become clear to me that I wouldn't be able to upgrade my device at any point in 2017, so I wanted something with more third party dev support, and an unlockable bootloader. Plus, audio is pretty important for me and the DAC + front facing speakers is a big deal for me.

I'm really hoping I can FINALLY be completely satisfied with a device.

Hey I got a Nexus 5x recently.

Should I bother ROMing it? Is there any tangible benefit? Or is it just for ricing?

>>56142133
I appreciate the encouragement. It seems like a stupidly good deal, especially considering how pricy the X Performance is with little difference in specs.

I see I can officially unlock the bootloader, too. That's pretty cool. I've never owned an Android phone so maybe after using it for a bit I could need around with custom roms, or at least install Greenify.

I have had an HTC One M7 for three years. No case, no screen protector and I've dropped it loads of times. It's covered in scratches because it's aluminum but the scratches always end at the screen. The screen's flawless despite the abuse. That shit's like Gorilla Glass 1 or some shit and it's fine, I'm sure GG4 will be even better.

I've literally never had a smartphone before.

I want one that can: Use Steam's Mobile Chat, and Use an IRC Client of some sort. Playing Music is optional (I use an Ipod Shuffle)

Outside of that, my other main requirement is for it to be as cheap as humanly possible. I get nervous and fidgety when i'm not able to keep up with online stuff that way, but I want to be able to hang out at places other than my house more often, and lugging my laptop around is a pain, especially since I worry it or it's accesory parts will break, so a simple phone with those capabilities would be best.

Could I get a suggestion based on those requirements?

Also, literally every android phone on the market can do what you want. Phones differentiate themselves with:

1. Phone/screen size, what's comfortable
2. Camera, if you give a fuck
3. Price, in your case
4. Bullshit like processor speed, cores and ram doesn't matter in 2016, they're all fast enough to do anything you want

It's a little baby compared to the Mi Max

>>56141047
Is there a new big battery phone at the block? Any news about the k6000premium? Or should I just get a v10 with extended battery 420€..? The housefire can't be worse than my HTC m7, but the price could be better...

The redmi pro with the x25 doesnt look bad but how are the chances to get cm on a mediatek processor?
Import costs will push the price up to a 70€ difference between this and the v10 (excluding the battery) so it doesn't look worth getting chink software support.

Owning a s5 currently and looking forward to upgrade to an OnePlus 3.

Will the software experience get better? My s5 lags like hell and touchjizz looks shit.
I waited like a year and a half for android marshmallow because contractors in Germany are assholes and offered the updates way later.

You guys think that oneplus will step up their update game and try to get it earlier? I mean oxygen is very close to stock

I doubt that you'll go back from a new phone you bought to a shit tier, overpriced plastic shell :P
But if you could go into detail a bit more, how the device performs, how fast the camera is (my s5 takes almost 4 seconds to take a picture) etc thatd be awesome

So I currently have an LG G2 and I'm getting sick of the non expandable storage and I really want a dank xboxhuegphone.
The huawei m8 8 seems like a jewish trick with the worst software support available, but that's basically the minimum size I want.
It seems like the mi max is basically the best cheap >6" phone, right? Or is there anything way better coming out in the near future?

>>56142322
Kek, reminds me of my 1st gen ipod touch. I got it out of the package and probably even placed it on something soft while setting the thing up. I looked away for 3 seconds and the whole back already had scratches. That thing was indestructible though.

I swapped my SIM into an old Nexus4 I had lying around (usually have an S6, but the headphone jack is breaking badly). I put Chroma on it (6.0.1) but no google apps. Added fdroid, microG, downloaded a few choice APKs from Raccoon...

I am pretty happy with this being a backup device.

What phone do you recommend for maximum 400€ /g/ ? It has to have a good camera. Please don't say any Nexus phone or chink phones prease.

I work with smartphone repair in EU and I wonder why the fuck so many refugees have Ghost Push (android root virus) on their cheap android phones?

Absolutely no native person have had it, ever. It's annoying because it requires flashing to fix it and I sure as fuck won't risk bricking a phone when the guy doesn't know 3 words of English to explain the situation and risks. Neither do they want to pay shit and just put on a sad face going "PLEASE PLEASE".

I've never seen a common link between any of the phones so it seems weird how a select group of people only get it.

I've had a similar virus (or this one I can't remember) and I successfully removed it by installing Stubborn Trojan Killer by Cheetah Mobile (I know that they are cancer with adwares, but it did the job).

>>56147097
What about Galaxy S6? 399€ in my country right now.

>>56141388
A nice phone, my headphone port is fucked though, many have reported crackling and eventual failure after less than a year. However it does seem to usually just be the detection pin or SmartConnect failures which can be corrected via reinstalling the OS or using a tool called SoundAbout. My advice would be look for a different phone since so many better devices available with better features. The 4k display is a meme.

>>56147176
I'm pretty sure no fancy anti-virus app will actually kill Ghost Push when it's given itself root access, preventing even a factory reset from removing it.

It's not like I can even try though, the phone is a unusable mess and installing apps is impossible.

>>56146667
>>56146711
There were things I liked about the S5 though, mSD and the removable battery.

The Oneplus is perfect for me, there's a quick gesture (you have to draw an O) to quick launch the camera, you can snap a picture in less than a second. Great performance, battery life a slight improvement over the S5, absolutely love stock Android, crazy fast fingerprint scanner...

Theres nothing I don't like about it really, except maybe the size: it's a tad too big for my hands.

>>56147176
I'd take Note 4 over S6 any day. New/second hand

I'm fucking stoked for a new Nexus 5x tier phone. Seriously hope their Sailfish will be great.

>>56147675
As if changing battery will keep your phone from discharging faster and going slower over the years.

I've changed a lot of batteries, both removable and not but it doesn't do shit to samsung and xperia at least. SOMETHING bogs them down gradually over the years no matter if your usage doesn't change. Probably updates. The best hope is getting a larger battery with a new back/case to support it.

I dropped my moto g 1st gen a bunch too many times and the screen is leaking, thinking about getting an upgrade. Should I get a g4? It's gonna cost a lot more and the reason I love my current phone so much is it did so much for so little, since I bought it used.

i'll be going raw with it for a few days until I get protector glass and shit.

>>56147958
I think microsoft phones are the exception here. Both Android and Apple phones suffer performance and battery degradation for no apparent reason.

Also, "non-removable" is a joke on a lot of phones, not all but quite a few. You just need a screwdriver and the ability to unplug some shit before being able to just pop it out and replace it. I fully understand not wanting to deal with xperia/new samsung phones since they are taped and need replacement tape if you remove the back but ALL iphones, some LG, some Huawei and the like are very hard to actually fuck up anything from a battery replacement on.

Should I get the sony xperia e5?

>>56145169

Honestly out of these i'm most drawn to the Pepsi Phone, but I dunno how bad having a non-removable battery is, or if "dido 6.1" is any good.

I have a Nexus 5. I'm looking for something with at least 64GB storage (or a micro SD slot), a good battery, and software navigation keys. That means no Samshit. Also I need a bootloader that can be easily unlocked for free. I was thinking about a Moto X Pure. Anything better?

>>56148140
Thanks m8

>>56148198
What do you use 64gb of storage for?

With the broad availability of several free online storage options I don't see the need for more than 32 or 16 even.

>>56142193
>gimmicky pen
>bricks itself if you root it
>no stock firmware to restore
>can't disable a lot of bloat like samshit pay
>forced app updates
Get something that has a bootloader unlock available. It's super easy to flash custom ROMs and you'll get much better performance. The reason why these phones come with 4-6GB of RAM now is because of the bloat and all the shit running in the background. My old Nexus 5 with 2GB of RAM uses about half each day. Stock Android is great.

>>56148271
I dont think 3S is widely avaiable yet
redmi 3 pro is all over alliexpress, but no marshmallow on it yet, if ever

>>56148400
>I don't trust cloud storage

What is there to trust exactly? Uploading pirated media and getting botnet reported to the authorities? Has this happened even once in a not-shithole country?

I'm not for botnets or against privacy but I don't see the point in not using it for casual stuff that's everywhere on everyone's devices.

>>56148449
>what are app permissions
>why should I care about the services I use
Jesus man, get off your knees and pull your pants up. If I didn't care about this stuff I'd use an iPhone.

>>56148475
Can you be more specific or is it just "common sense" boogeyman of big corps getting you in trouble whenever and however for no good reason? I care about the services I use but I have yet to see much a reason to not use it other than tinfoil hat comments from people who have locked themselves into several botnets already thinking they are free.

Drive literally only requires "access files on this device" for uploading. Which you can turn off after you're done.

>>56148606
If I can avoid using the botnet for a few extra dollars why shouldn't I?

>>56148658
That depends on how many "few" dollars.

Plus the data isn't lost with the device if it breaks/stolen/bricks.

>>56148198
Get a OnePlus 3 or wait for the new Nexus phones.

Moto X Pure and Nexus 6P aren't worth it. The SD808/810 is too slow compared to the SD820.

>>56148694
>Plus the data isn't lost with the device if it breaks/stolen/bricks.
I've never lost or bricked a phone. Never had a phone stolen. I'm not an irresponsible child so I don't have these problems. I also make backup once a week and store them on 3 different HDDs. Find a better argument because you haven't convinced me to switch to a buttnet cloud service that doesn't respect my privacy.

>>56148734

You've got shit standards.

The 820 has double the single core performance of last gen's 808/810.

The Nexus 6P and Moto X Pure are last gen phones.

Do replaceable batteries even matter? The battery won't die under 5 years will it? And if it did could I just get someone to replace it?

Yes.

> The battery won't die under 5 years will it?
Has happened to me on a HTC before, though it's probably not the usual case.

> And if it did could I just get someone to replace it?
For a bunch of smartphones, yes. But it's far from guaranteed to be easy or cheap.

Pretty sure vendors think you'll buy another one of their phones if it doesn't die too soon but just eventually.

>>56148960
>No, I just don't play games on my phone.
It's not just games, everything will benefit from faster CPU performance,

>And? Why does this matter to me? I have a play station for games. My laptop has a Core 2 Duo in it still.

Are you the guy that asked for the recommendation?

>Good. They'll be cheaper when the new stuff comes out.

Still not worth it. I use a Nexus 6P as my secondary phone, it's not even funny how much faster the OnePlus 3 is.

He also wants unlocked bootloader, I don't do custom ROMs but the OnePlus and Nexus phones are the ones with very large ROM communities.

Theres 6.0.1 available on the note edge. What do you mean by new features? What doesn't it feature? I'm on a budget of around £270-300. The oneplus 3 doesn't suit my needs due to no microsd. The ZTE Axon 7 has no physical home button and I don't like its design. The galaxy s6 has terrible battery life, the s7 is priced too much for me etc..

Can anyone confirm/deny?

Anyone own the ZTE Axon 7?
Newegg.ca has its release for September with the Passport 1.0 damage warranty and some Monster headphones which are a pretty cool bonus.

I always watch videos and play music on my phone so this seems like a phone good for me.

Android, especially Samshit is bloated as all fuck. A few minutes off the charger and my note 4 is down 3% and that's with the screen off not doing shit. At least you won't experience the ugly abomination that is touchwiz as they improved it visually on the note 7. Not really anything special about android. You can "rice" it, but that just makes an already bloated phone more bloated. If the only reason you got a note was because you fell for the android is better than ios meme you're probably gonna be dissapointed. If iphones made a phablet with a built in stylus I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Chances are they'd do it a lot better than samshit and they'd do it with a lot less. I love my note 4 and my sylus but even I'll admit half of the features are either useless or pointless and the other half is poorly implemented.

Is Gear VR worth buying?
Is there much to do with it?

Will buy an S7 and wondering if I should get the VR too or not.

/g/ whats the ID you can change in your phone once its rooted and TWRP is installed that lets you mimic other phones and install their roms?

Is it true the SD810 overheats?

How serious an issue is that? I can get an SD810 phone for free, but do I want it?

talk me out of honor 7 if it's possible.

The latest Nexus runs that right? Then yes, it overheats.

>>56151652
My Nexus 6p runs fairly cool, and I run Snapchat, YouTube, Live leak throughout the day. It's contingent on the phone.

Also do you guys have any recommendation? As long as it isn't Samsung or Apple because they are way overpriced for me right now

Jamal we talked about this...

i bought a moto /g/4 today. already regretting it. it's not that it's a bad phone, it's wonderful for what it is, but my previous phone was a 1st gen moto g which did literally everything i needed, and i could do it all one handed without doing acrobats to reach my thumb across the screen. i just never thought while researching this shit that i'd be better off with something smaller, cheaper and simply more pleb-tier. shoulda got some alcatel pile of junk that i wouldn't have to worry about one bit, and still have all my needs covered.

maybe i should ask this on Stupid Questions General but here i go.

Do Battery Cases kill the phone's internal battery over time? If i bought a brand new phone and use a battery case with it for say 2 years, would the phone's battery last more or less?

I kind of fucked up rooting my Samsung Tab A. The guide I used was apparently for Lollipop and I was in Marshmallow. It's stuck on the flashing Samsung logo. How can I reflash stock on it/reset it? It's model number is SM-T355Y and it was Android 6.0.1.
If this isn't the right place could anyone redirect me to where I might find out how to?

Don't do it. Just sold mine.

Anyone here try the Axon 7?

I want to get it but I like selling my phones after 2 years and I feel like nobody will buy that shit bc it's unknown as fuck

How's the Newegg return policy?
I want to buy a phone but they told me you can only return if there's a defect. If I just tell them "hey the software is really buggy and I can't open some apps. Refund me", will they do it?

>>56153369
Charging in general fucks up a battery. Heat in general fucks up a battery. In a perfect world we would all get replacements but by the time your batt goes to shit, your phone is shit.

HTC dropped the flawless 10 LGs v20 looks interesting (a turn off for me that they ditch expandable battery option) and 820 nexus phones are coming.

man, fuck verizon for making the shatterproof moto exclusive in the US. Gorilla glass just doesn't compare.

I'm really clumsy and have dropped 3 phones enough in the last year to break them, one with Gorilla Glass 3 and one with Gorilla Glass 4. I'd get a CAT phone, but the specs are just so, so shit for a $350 phone.

Please, dear god, let sailfish have a shatter-proof screen.

>>56153923
just random bullshit:

>set it down on a table in the bathroom and as I turn my elbow/wrist/whatever catches it and flings it onto the tile floor
>pull it out of pocket with sub-par grip and it slips and falls
>trip a little and it slips out of my hand
>somehow slips out of my pocket as I'm sitting at a coffeeshop

they all took a bunch of falls, but eventually break. I'm not doing anything egregiously dumb with my phones. It's just little mistakes when I'm not paying attention. I don't do anything less carefully with my phone than anyone I know, it's like I've been voodo-cursed to just slip up with my phone All. The. Time.

NEW NEXUS

>>56148030
Unless you plan to roll in a sand then no.

Should I just get a OnePlus 3 or wait for the next Nexus? I've got a Note 4 now and I want to give it to a family member because she needs a phone and doesn't have one; but she can wait.

>>56153641
Bummer. What are you getting instead?

>>56153641
Why?
I'm getting one next week, it's the price of Moto g4 or x play. I don't have any other similar choice. What do you think should I get myself? (No chinks, except meizu m3 note for 2/3 nexus price)

>Note 7 screen is babby soft

What screen protector should I get? Looks like tempered glass is out of the question for curved screens. Should I go normalfag and get a Zagg HDX?

>>56154012

I'm pretty sure he meant in terms of sales.

I'm growing impatient when it comes to waiting for the Nexus. Anything wrong with the OP3? How is OnePlus with updates?

Best Buy is having their 50th anniversary sale now until Sunday.

Might take the plunge on an iphone 6 plus. $99 with the two year contract. 64 GB is $199. 16 GB sucks, but it's a hundred fucking bucks.

>>56155193
it's a ploy by apple to get you to get hooked to buy the 7 in a couple months for all the new features.

HTC 10

10/10?

I'm using the Moto G LTE right now and I love it but it's definitely time for an upgrade, but I don't know if I want another small phone I can do everything one handed on or a gigantic beast like the V20 or something. Bloody phones

which ROM and Kernel should I put in it?

>>56155812
Almost a year old, unless you're getting it for $200 or less not really good.

Should be looking at SD820 for flagships now, not the old SD 808/810. There's significant performance and heat differences.

> Your 2 year contract cost is whatever your monthly plan cost is.
Have you never seen any plan and phone bundle? On most providers the better phones are bait for expensive 2 year plans. And it's not just that way in the USA, this is a common thing.

And then you have all the idiot plebs who go "but I wanted 2GB of unrestricted internet traffic per month and a status symbol phone anyway, I'm not actually paying extra with that $100 / month plan..."

>>56156710
This thing is more expensive than a Doogee and almost as expensive as a Redmi 3 without being as good as the latter, so basically no?
