Guys, my brand new Note7 has scratches. What do?

Which specs matter on a smartphone and which ones are negligible? I want to make a thorough comparison to get the best persona bang for my buck. And to satisfy my autism, truth be told.

How legit is the move to a 3 year cycle for the iPhones?

“The glass is designed to improve the drop performance and not necessarily designed to improve the scratch performance,” Amin told me. "

>>56174806
That entirely depends on what you look for in a phone primarily. I wanted a phone with a small screen and a good camera; my autism made me buy a Xiaomi Mi5

Let's start with storage space. How much do I really need if I make the 64 GB SD card the default location for installing apps?

>>56174991
Not sure why you'd make the SD card the default storage location, puts a strain on the card, it's better to use the card specifically for other media, at least, impo anyway. Should you choose to take my suggestion into consideration, then, you won't need anything more than 16 GB internal. Otherwise, to answer your question, probably 32 GB internal.

In US using boost mobile
Looking for at least 3GB RAM, decent CPU, and 32-64GB internal and microSD slot
At least 1080p screen but it doesn't need to be higher
Don't care about camera/microphone/speaker quality
Would prefer physical buttons on the bottom bar
Budget of around 200 maybe a little higher

thanks in advance

>>56174991
You will probably never even run into problems with 16 GB phones without a mSD-slot. People that complain about storage are usually autismos

>>56175025
Thanks for the info AND the semen demon.

Hardware longevity is my main concern. Are you suggesting that using batteries for a long time may damage the hardware itself aside from the battery?

>>56175051
Obviously for storage concerns and to avoid paying a premium for internal storage.

I don't get this. You mean 16 GB internal if I don't use the SD card as internal storage and 32 GB if I do?

>>56175222
using batteries for a long time wont damage the hardware itself, it will result in a reduction of the batteries capacity. So you should get a few replacement batteries on the side.

Is anyone besides Blackberry working on a phone with a keyboard?

>>56175221
My phone, until it died, had 8 GB of storage and ran into these problems sometimes.

What about this? I root it, as expected, I make a partition in the SD card for apps and move there the ones that don't require a lot of speed or are rarely used.

This way I can get a 8 GB phone instead of a 16 GB one. Yes, I'm on a budget.

>>56175251
Ok. I was worried the battery could havekilled the phone. That would be a dark world to live in.

>>56175222
>Are you suggesting that using batteries for a long time may damage the hardware itself aside from the battery?

No, no damage to the rest of the hardware. But outside of dropping it and shattering the screen like a retard, the battery is what starts to go on a phone first of all. And we have reached a point where the processor and RAM on even a mid-range phone today should be good for a few years so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Thus, for hardware longevity, a replaceable battery is probably the most useful thing.

I just bought a Moto G 4th gen, switching from LG G3

Have I made a huge mistake? Truth to be told I need the dual sim feature and volume buttons on the side that Moto has

>>56175312
agreed. I survived for four years on a galaxy ace 2 with 768mb of RAM and a duel-core NovaThor U8500 on android 2.4.2.

>>56175326
How is it? thinking of getting one too.

>>56175347
It's just.. I try to find things like changing the soft button positions on the settings, and then I realize they are a LG feature that is missing from stock Android.

Not going to root right away

>>56175382
Yeah but does it overheat? people said it does when playing or using the camera.
And how is performance and lag etc. that low end SD617 worries me.

Just switched to the Note 7 from an iPhone 6 and the battery life on this thing sucks compared to my iPhone. Is it like this for all Galaxy phones or did the AT& T store just sell me one with a shitty battery?

>>56175443
I just got it and I have never played for a second on a smartphone. Browsing seems okay

will s7 edge get an aosp eventually or should i just get another phone instead?

>>56175500
note 7 has a smaller battery than s7 edge. you should get like 4.5 hours screen on time anyway though. return it if you don't or keep hoping an update fixes it.

>>56175500

It has a large resolution and that makes it discharge the battery much faster, whereas iPhones have a smaller screen which probably only spends 30% the amount of the note 7. I still run the s5 and have no issues with the battery.

>>56175690
the screen is pretty durable against cracks. the back cracks easily though.

My brother is about to buy an used Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Anyone has this phone and could share an opinion?

So general note 7 consensus?

Only complaints I'm hearing are battery life and the screen scratches easily, which can be fixed with a screen protector anyways

>>56175726
>i told you so guy
don't be that guy mate. it makes you lose people.

/spg/ what is that one model that may have been posted here
it was marketed to audiophiles or whatever and like their main selling point was that it had 2 3.5mm sockets

>>56174901

No. Almost any other chink phone will be better.

So is Apple going to seriously remove the headphone jack on their next phone? Why are they so retarded?

I wish this thinness meme would end. Thin is nice but when it effects durability and features, enough is enough desu

I fell asleep one night and woke up with my phone underneath me. The screen had a vertical green line on the left side. It also began to flicker. I charged my phone and the screen was brightened. It was still noticeably dim. I put my phone in some rice overnight, and it did nothing. I took it to an AT&T specialist and they determined that some wires might be disconnected. They ordered a replacement for me and I mailed the phone to AT&T. AT&T mailed the phone back, stating that the phone was water damaged and I had to pay over $700 to cover the cost of the phone. Can I repair my phone? If not, what are my options? Here is a link for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k_zMRZZpyg

>>56175700
yes, but i'm afraid they won't do jackshit to it, maybe put a new battery and that's all, after reading many reviews i think the software is the problem and if they'll fix it they will make a firmware/software update
>>56175702
the phone already ahs good battery indicators and saving gadgets
>>56175726
unfortunately i don't browse /g/ and only looked for reviews after i bought it

You mean scratching? Because that's scratching.

>>56175812
I meant return it. Not for repairs. Just return it and get your shekels back.

>>56175810
What about getting it fixed by a 3rd party?

Also always put your phone on your nightstand or anywhere your fat ass can't break it in your sleep.

>>56175739
don't buy a used phone, it's disgusting. would you wear someone else's used condom? someone else's used clothes?

there are also dangers of damage hidden at first but definitely there, hence the seller wanting to sneakily sell it.

no warranty.

and last, they will hardly / won't be updated any more.

too many pitfalls. get a current midrange phone new instead.

>>56175877
maybe i should buy the zenfone max, not to pricy too

>>56175797
Yes and people will love it. Soon after Samsung and all the Chinese companies will copy them and the headphone jack will be gone.

>>56175969
This is the one time I doubt people will defend it. If it gets enough backlash, Samsungs new phone will skyrocket in sales even more since its baby's first android and has a headphone jack.

My Nexus 5 is on its last leg and I need to replace it. I'm considering the Nexus 6p or the oneplus3. Is it worth it to get the 6p still?

>>56175796

>>56176070
Just wait and see how long if you can keep it on life support. If it dies then just buy a shitty flip phone and use that for like a month. I'm sure you'll survive.

I don't know if I should root my Nexus 5x. Got it two weeks ago and with my regular usage a single charge can run for 2 to 3 days. But my regular usage is pretty low, I browse for an hour a day with minimal text and phone calls. If the usage was any heavier I am afraid it won't last long. I rooted my Nexus 4 mainly for battery management and I am wondering if rooting the 5X will be worth it.

>>56176220
I took the 200€ budget limit as reference (except with leagoo), I'm not sure if the more expensive ZTE phones are better than the cheaper ones which commonly clog up and break down after 9 months of usage, and usually start to cripple around the time their warranty expires.

I dont really know much about your market, since we didnt allow you into EU (lol), but i dont think its much different.

Get a mofuggin s7 if you dont need anything specific, cant go wrong with that. Ignore s7 edge if you dont want to spend extra money cuz the edge is just a gimmick

Stay clear of the G5. Wait to see if the V20 has the same dumb module design as the G5 and if it does, don't buy it.

In April I got a S7 Edge and so far it has been absolute aids. A couple of months ago I dropped it from about 2 feet high with a case and the screen cracked. I have literally never managed to crack a phone screen until now. They're saying to get it repaired will cost up to £220 so fuck that. Since then I've been having problems with the phone lagging at freezing at least once a day to the point where I have force turn off my phone and restart it. It also loves to overheat and give me ghost touches. Granted my phone is rooted but I never had these problems with my old one plus one. It sucks because the phone is absolutely beautiful and I love the screen. Idk what to do now. Might just sell it but I'll be lucky to get £300 for it and my contract will still be 50 fucking pounds for 19 months. What would you guys do in my situation?

LG isn't the most incapable company in existence - they create great products but it's almost like the MS cycle with them = build something great (G3) and then screw up the next gen or 2 with dumb ideas (modules). They are @ times a good major brand competitor to Samsung but they keep shooting themselves with half-baked ideas and design changes instead of keep with what works and making sure any major changes they make are actually solid before releasing it.

Are there any voice control app /g/ recommends?
My phone's screen digitizer is busted (display still werks), I have no backup phone and I can live with just calling and texting until i can get my screen replacement.

>>56178053
no, the note 4 takes a nano sim and the s4 probably has a micro sim? You need to cut your micro sim to a nano sim. Or order a new model of the simcard.

Yes, you need to take scissors and gut the sim in half, exactly in half, right from the middle of the chip.

Also note 7 is trash, getting scratches at pick 3

>>56178097

You really are a newfag, arent you? It's a test with set hardness picks. Standard is pick 6-7, note 7 gets scratches on pick 3, which means keys and coins scratch it really easily. Wear a good quality screen protector

I was going to get one at Best Buy yesterday but they were like $25.

>>56178207
Get it you jew, a new screen is more expensive

Anyone know if the international Galaxy S7 Edge has any problems in the US on t-mobile? willmyphonework says it'll be perfect but I saw some other site mention it might only have partial support on 3G. And would GPS have any problems?

I'm split between the S7E and the LG G5. The G5 is cheaper by but I guess it's slightly worse in several categories, but particularly in battery life.

>>56178224
They were significantly cheaper when I got my S4. They're jewing everyone who wants the latest and greatest phone.

Looking to get a phone and not have to buy another one for a decade. LG G5 sounded promising for longevity but this thread is turning me off it.

Has to be Verizon Wireless. Any opinions?

>>56178236
Yeah, buying a phone right after release is the biggest "good goym" thing ever

>>56178265
Dont know what verizon wireless is, but if g5 was promising, get a v10 maybe.

>>56178233

>These phones do work on T-Mobile and AT&T (and a bunch of MVNOs, obviously) and support the necessary LTE bands, though things like VoLTE, wideband voice calling, and Wi-Fi calling likely won't work, either - even potentially with hacky workarounds.

>>56178265
>for a decade
kek. maybe 5 years with any of the latest flagships.. if your'e lucky. HTC 10>S7E>OP3>My Dick>LG G5.

Is it a good idea to buy a second hand Moto G or Samsung from Amazon? I'm a poorfag trying to contribute to the household's economy, but my phone commited seppuku.

>>56178265

I hope your are being hyperbolic with that statement - having a phone to last another decade isn't really possible unless you're only doing basic smartphone functions and even then, not having the OS support 3 cycles+ later will cripple any phone's usability.

Like most people are saying, stay clear of LG's latest phones available except for the upcoming V20 which MAY be a safe bet.

Samsung is the market favorite Android device in the sense of being so widely used but in my experience the Galaxy line doesn't hold up after 2 years (Notes seem to fair better).

Apple - pretty solid but they kill their own older phones with OS updates that cripple them causing people to have to upgrade.

Nexus devices seem to hold up better due to being Google designed phones but are kinda clunky in a few areas.

Everyone else - IDK.

Not an expert here but that's my opinion on what's available now.

>>56178341
Ah, alright. Thanks, I guess I'll look for a US model. It's too bad the LG G5 doesn't have any super large 3rd party batteries.

Moto g4 is pretty nice

>>56179439
if you want to do a lot of non-internet things with your phone, you're obviously better off with better phone specs

if you mainly shitpost on imageboards and reddit, you're way better off with 4G and worse phone

>>56179490
I need a very resitant case so the phone can outlast me (heh), but for the time being there doesn't seem to be cases like that for the Redmi. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

>>56179448
but be sure that changing battery, even if claiming non removable will always be relatevily easy/cheap process
even if not as easy as popping back and changing it, but having to spend 1 hour following youtube tutorial on screws and things... maybe even heatgun to get adhesive to let go.. still fairly easy all things considered

>>56179431
Same processor as p9 I think.
Expandable storage. Axon 7 might have that but not sure.
Great looking phone. I like hauwei's products (had a 6p). Idk why I have such a megaboner for it but I may splurge for it. Like I said this s7 edge isn't what I expected. Also paying monthly for it through T-Mobile.

>>56175626
Yep, thrown away just like that. Why did you buy into the Asus meme to begin with? My ZE551ML's screen broke after 20 seconds in light rain, and by light I do mean fucking LIGHT. Not to mention the shit software support Asus gives.

>>56179605
I considered it, but the lack of custom ROMs is a deal breaker for me. Otherwise I would have ordered already.

Good fucking God, I can't decide between upgrading to the HTC 10 or the S7. I'm coming from a fucking Blackberry Q10 and I'm pretty sick of it, I want to experience Android.

I really value the supposedly stellar camera and display of the S7 but the software of the 10 is supposedly far superior as is the audio quality. In terms of design, I really like how the 10 looks over the S7 but I like the removable storage of the S7.

WHAT DO I FUCKING DO.

>>56179708
s7 if you dont mind touchjizz

>>56179708
The HTC 10 has expandable storage. Friend of mine owns one and has had nothing but good things to say about it so far.

I'm on an s7 edge right now. Touchjizz is a lot better now than what it was. Still lags but is at least bearable. All about preference man.

is the htc10 top for audio quality (through headphones)? the cost from 700 to 1000 in canada is pretty steep. i'd be happy with something that was has slightly worse audio, but significantly cheaper.

>>56180088
Expandable storage, camera, display, and the thing is just beautiful. Such a well designed phone. Although getting a screen protector to properly fit with the edges and a case is a pain in the ass (yes even with "case friendly" screen protectors. Its a great phone, but I'm a sucker for vanilla Android. Lots of touchjizz stuttering. Phone would run extremely hot too for the first week or so. Not entirely sure what that was about. Loads of bloatware too. Fact that I'll never be able to properly root it sucks too. Its nice for the time being for sure, but I can only assume I'll be switching in the next month or so

I brought up the Honor 8 a few posts back in the thread. I'm considering that. I wish T-Mobile didn't pull the HTC 10 because I was about to jump on that train after hearing nothing but good things. I just can't buy it outright at the moment. I'll probably wind up with the Honor 8 when it drops or just go back to my faithful 6p that's rotting in my drawer.

I just got a HTC 10 and its pretty nice. Sleek, light, great camera and makes my LG G4 feel like a rock in speed. Only problem I forsee is battery, since I got it second hand.

Maybe I'll have to "use" the warranty before it expires.

>>56179535

It's just like any other CM and it works well.

I'm using MoKee nightly, though, which I think is much better, is AOSP-based (with CM theme engine), and -- unlike CM builds -- not outdated.

>>56180208
Wtf that looks tough as hell

It's a special model for Taiwan with B20, it's not marketed internationally so you won't have a global rom and support.

>>56181252
Mostly, custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix, Beanstalk, etc. are based on CM, while projects like Paranoid Android or MoKee don't use CM as a base, but AOSP.
MoKee seems safe and I don't have any ads/malware.

>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.

Only geekbuying is calling it "international".
Xiaomi only makes official global roms for the phones it sells in India/Middle East. it doesn't sell this phone in America.

The other unofficial roms are usually shit. CM13 is an exception but only because it's a popular model.

the other option is the XiaoMi RN3, which is like fucking popular and has CM support.

Its well known that the s7e is far from shatterproof. Its also well known that a screen replacement is ridiculously expensive.
Hard to give you advice since we dont know whats important to you

Phones ahould stop working if they do not have a valid sim card or if you have not paid your bill and had the service shut off and yhere should be a hefty 90 percent luxury tax on both phones and service for phones that is illigal to list in advertised prices

Must have:
Good camera
Decent battery life (a whole day with light usage, at least up to lunchtime with extreme usage)
4G

Nice to have:
Removable battery
Custom ROM (ability & availability)
5" screen, or larger but with one-handed mode option
SD card slot or more than 16GB storage
Natural display color (My biggest reservation with the Note 4 is the AMOLED screen. I despised the colors in Galaxy S2/S3, but recently I saw a friend's S6 and it doesn't seem so bad, so I'm gonna look into it more closely.)

I used Kimovil and it seems my choice is between Samsung Note 4 or LG G4. Alternatively, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 but I'm less confident in how it'll fare 2 years from now, basing on my experience with the Mi4.

bruh you could straight up get a used G3 or 4 for that price or even a little less

Hi there guys, I did read in OP

>Discuss upcoming and current models

And that made me to ask this

Do some anon know about the modular phones? Like project ARA, or Phonebloks, or Motorola last model (I think it is motorola)

I like the concept a lot and if I have to dream, I will like to them to come out in 2017 or 2018. Am I fooling myslef? What do you guys think? Do you like it? Do you not?

>honor 8
>op3
>axon 7

what phone wins?

>>56186892
OnePlus 3 in my opinion.

Best performance because SD820 with 1080p display.

Best OS, it's like stock Android with neat customization options.

The Axon 7 has better hardware but the OS looks like shit.

>>56186892

For the price, Axon 7 hands down.

>>56183842

I just picked one up yesterday and I'm loving the fuck out of it so far. The stylo 2 plus has a 5.7" 1080p screen and it's magnificent. 2GB ram is plenty for general browsing and decent amounts of app usage. You could do better on the 199.99 though, I got mine for 129.99 throught metro. Fuck what the haters say, this phone is bomb diggity.

this there any other confirmation on shitty gorrila glass 5 note 7? I've seen the jerryrig video but I dont want to be leaf

>>56184802
Galaxy Note 4.

>>56184802
LG G5 is your only option now.

>>56187273
wood not recommend the g5. The only thing it has going for it is the camera

>>56187311
And price. It goes for like $350 in mint condition. The HTC 10, which you can barely find for its real value, used to go for $100 more, and the Galaxy S7 another $100 more over the HTC 10. If you want an okayish flagship for $350 the LG G5 is the best option.

i'm just concerned about the software.

>>56187335
well, I went back to my note 4 so I really dont think its worth it even with the low price

Is APKMirror trustworthy?

When do you guys think we'll start seeing custom ROMs? And xposed?

hold me, /g/. I've despised samsung for their laggy and shitty touchwiz since s3 was so shit, compared to s2, but now I'm seriously considering getting a note 4/5/7.

I've always rooted and installed custom roms, but I think I'd be ready to try living without root for a while in order to use android pay.

I'll wait for the next nexuses, though, first.

But that I'm even considering bloatware samsung makes me question myself.

>>56188624
I hear touchwiz has improved since older versions, was crap on my S4
at least with it's themes you can make it look like stock now

>>56188624
Samsung does not support their own hardware. If you're fine with relying on the community for updates, then go ahead and get a Samsung. Otherwise get something with actual support.

>>56188624
why not nexus 6p?

Any thoughts? I kind of want the s-pen, but the edge felt a little awkward on the demo unit. I like the waterproofing on the Z5P but it certainly isn't necessary.

>>56189474
galaxy note edge, replaceable battery will increase the longetivity of your device.4k on your smartphone isn't really necessary.

Is Kingoroot safe /g/?

>>56184945
40 dollars for unlimited everything, including data

>>56188678

Well, I've considered it thoroughly. I was going to buy it but it's still 649 euros here ($735). If I went with nexus, it would have to be significantly cheaper or at least be daydream ready.

>>56189474
>Galaxy Note Edge
>>$180ish

fug thats cheap. Its over 500 euros here, used.

>>56188672
Can I use android pay with community roms? If so I don't give a damn who stitches the rom together, be it poo in the loo jamal or some chink dude.

>>56188660
I'm guessing you cant change the retarded settings classification. I can never find that one setting I need from samsung's retarded submenus.

$300 bucks to spend, good phone?

>>56189506
> increase longevity

That's kind of my concern, actually. The Edge is a late 2014 device, the Z5P is a year newer. How long would they each get update support?
If I trade in my 5S, I'll essentially be getting either of the two for free. So on the other hand, I won't really care about longevity because these don't feel like major investments. I've wanted to get rid of this 5S for a while, that's the main reason I'm switching.

>>56189769
Yeah, I don't understand how these sales work. I've seen a used Edge for this category go for about ¥40,000 ($400), so ¥18,000 ($180) seems crazy. Of course, I need to get a contract but I'd have to do that anyway.

Going for the kill now.

Google Marlin and Sailfish are gonna be overpriced here in Europe.

There is no alternative to the OP3.
