So as i said in the previous thread im going to buy a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro.
Can someone tell me if it's actually a good phone or just a cheap shitty chinkphone?
And what if my chellphone operator uses 800mhz bands for 4g? Can i still use 3g at least?

It's a great phone. check http://willmyphonework.net for compatibility. in the U.S H+ will work and maybe some 4G. some anon said he got 4G on t-mobile in his city.

If you don't like MiUI you can always flash CM13.
>>
>>56288528
(I'm not the anon you replied to)
Thanks for the link.
Can you still use 3g if 4g is not available for your carrier?

Yes of course as long as you have the 3G bands it will work.

Thank you. It says that my carrier (didnt know this is the proper term for the "operator") supports 3g and "half" 4g because it has 2600mhz but not 800mhz. So i guess i'll have to hope that my city (a big one) is covered by the 2600 band right? Anyway i can live with 3g alone. thank you very much

I'm on verizon and looking to upgrade soon. I currently have a HTC m8 and love it. I prefer a UI close to stock android. I'm tempted to get the Galaxy S7 because of the waterproofing, but I think touchwiz would drive me crazy. With that in mind, is the HTC 10 my best option?
>>
>>56288738
Yeah probably depends on what part of your city is covered by 2600 and 800 you'll have partial 4g coverage. configure the correct APN settings from your carrier on the phone as well. you can also select "prefer 3g" mode in MiUi to have it use primarily the 3G bands.

Hey /g/
My trusty Xperia Z1 finally kicked the bucket after 3 years of loyal services.

I'm in the market for something new, but i'm on a budget. Is it even remotely possible to find something equivalent under 200$ ?

I'm in Yurop so I don't know if that's a factor for purchase or not.

Here are the ideal characteristics that my new phone would have:

>5 inch
>720p display (i don't quite care for 1080 at all)
>4G/LTE
>SD Slot
>Removable Battery (not too sure this even exists anymore but eh if it does...)
>Sturdy/If not, easy access to protective screens and stuff
>Waterproof, or at least splashproof

>At least as fast as the Xperia Z1/2 which is good enough for me
>Not-shit battery life (3k+mAh)
(the Xperia rom had a nifty feature called stamina mode that deactivated data/wifi when the screen was turned off, i'll wager this is doable via tasker though)
>easily rootable

Does she exist, /g/?
In the meantime i'll browse the recommended chinkphone list but idk how available those are in Europe.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know a thing about Honor 8, but I just got my G5 and I have no idea what all the complaints on the internet are about. This phone has absolutely everything I need. It may look a bit ugly compared to the Galaxy S7 but I couldn't care less.

Currently have a Motorola moto X pure running bone stock everything. I was going to use full phone/storage encryption but decided I'd ask here first. Before I go through the process of encrypting everything, I was considering root, recovery, and Cyanogenmod. Does full phone encryption play nice with custom recovery/rom/root? Being fully unlocked is part of why I got this phone as opposed to say a locked down Note4/5/ soon to be 7.

I love my Xperia Z3, but if Sony doesn't step it up with the XR I think I'll jump ship. Fuck touchjizz and I don't want a chinkphone, but the HTC 10 looks good. How is it? It has a SD card slot, right?

Used to love my old HTC Desire S but I'm not going back to no SD slot

Possibly looking to upgrade from my 5s. I'm on Verizon, and will probably stay, because I only pay like 40 a month on my uncle's and cousins' family plan, but would consider switching if it was worth it.
Recs for phones? Had droids before the 5s so not loyal to android or ios, just looking for a newer phone, not too massive.
>>
>>56288828
To some, it seems. I've had wildly differing reviews on Danish websites, and some youtubers seem to like it okay. I'm really looking forward to hearing from real human beans who own one. Would be nice to hear some hands-on experiences from them.
My heart still aches for a Sony phone that's actually worth its price, though.

>>
>>56289218
Same, I'll wait but the assertions that performance is poor absolutely kills it for me. I was always willing to tolerate Touchwiz for Samsung's design and high end hardware, but it's getting old now. Rather just get the New Nexus which should be high end hardware + clean Android.

5.2 is bigger than 5. But it also comes down to the bezels of a phone. I mean look at the 5x, it has fucking huge bezels with that screen, ridiculous.

I was looking at the 6p, but if theres a new iteration coming soon i'll probably just wait for that. Is activation a pain/any different than a regular verizon phone? Bear with me, I literally didn't know verizon phones used sim cards until about 30 sec ago when i popped mine out. does the 5s use the same sim as the 6p or newer nexus would use or would i need an adapter or something?

First day with Xiaomi Mi Max, not trying to save power. I'm pretty sure that reviewers these days think that the SOT on pic related is 'decent' with only 5 percent left. Meanwhile I still have like 8 hours of SOT left.
Pretty sure that this phone will easily last through two days.
I might actually just stop charging at 85℅ or so to keep the battery healthier. Are there apps to give you an alarm when you reach a certain percentage?

I really like my OnePlus3.
I ran into two issues with it however, but they're nothing major, and might not even be related to the phone, but rather the software.

1. Phone reboots for a short while sometimes late at night.
Nothing really happens, it just shuts down, starts back up.
I think some orange text popped up on the screen for a short while when I was awake and near it the one time I saw it happen...

2. I can't hear the caller if the call popup notification shows up when listening to media
Once I switch to speaker+back I can hear them just fine, but it's kinda weird.

Moto g4 plus?
Yay or nay?

I am wanting a change from my Moto G3 which has been my all time favourite phone.

I use my phone mostly for navigation while driving, music, photos, geocahing and browsing the internet while away from laptop.

Main feature that has attracted me is the figerprint scanner and the fact the g4 still has removable storage.

Upset over lack of waterproof and the removal of the compass. The latter of which I am worried will affect navigation while driving/geocaching/pokemon go.

>>56291620
GSM? Honor 5x. SD 616 chip, fingerprint scanner, solid battery, and you can get rid of the crappy default UI.

Sprint/Verizon? Moto G3/G4, both are capable and also have decent battery life. The G4 is apparently more prone to heating under stress though.

The Moto G3 is cheaper at this point though.
>>
>>56291703
there is no loss because they're is nothing wrong with the screen

>>56291542
you could look at the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro, which has a similar cpu, but 3gb ram, 4000mah battery, has compass and is cheaper. of course not interesting if you live in the usa (wireless bands) but otherwise quite a good deal.

>>56291696

>>56290950
Actually they are. Geekbench is the best synthetic benchmark for phones out there. It's the CPU passmark of phones.

Anyway there are 3 main categories for phone SoCs right now: entry-level, better than iPhone 6 plus, and performance. The SD 410, E 5433, and E 8890 represent those categories respectively with each one being about 2X as fast as the last SoC.

The SoC on a phone is what mainly determines performance of apps and whatnot. You should steer clear of snapdragon especially after the better than iPhone 6 plus range as they tend to overheat quickly after a few minutes of use.

Thoughts on the HTC10?

any big let downs so far?
>>
>>56288300
It's a really good phone. Mine came in about three days ago, I got it in gold. It looks gorgeous. The fingerprint scanner is a little bit insensitive, but still has utility. The snapdragon SOC is excellent though. Very fast-- I've had no issues so far with overheating or anything like that. It's probably the best phone I've ever owned, especially for the price.

>>
>>56291929
future rom support, non shitty touchwizz (which apparently STILL slows down your phone a bit), metal build if you don't like glass build.

Missing is the water resistance, not sure if that's something you care about.

The s7 looks nice, but after 2 years you won't get anymore updates because samsung. With htc, the unlockable bootloader and the snapdragon you at least will get rom support when htc says fuck you.
>>
>>56291892
I just got one the other day but haven't slapped a SIM in it yet.

Though, I haven't gotten any SoT results like >>56291872, but it gets far better battery than my LG G4.

Nah, I understand, I gave you the initial response. I'm just asking about t-mobile since I'm switching from a CDMA to GSM phone.

I'd recommend the Honor 5x if you're comfortable altering the phone's software, since the default is rather clunky and Chinese.
It's a decent phone.

Depends, I'm not sure how it works if you have a contract, you might have to bring your phone to your provider to get it activated.

But most phones these days don't have removable batteries. I think it shouldn't matter unless you're not buying a phone for a long period of time.

There aren't many <5" Android phones. The Xperia Z5 Compact could work. You should probably just settle on a 5" phone. Remember that the iPhone SE has a whole lot of bezel, so something more bezel-efficient might not be that much larger.

Hi /spg/, buying a phone here.

Country: Murica

Nope, but I think it's the fastest phone you can get for the money. Letv has a sd820 that's slightly cheaper but it doesn't have 3.5mm and it has worse software.

>>56292445
how is your reception right now? because 3g is still supposed to be decent on chinkphones in the US. So if you're barely getting any LTE anyways where you live...

Z5C piqued my interest alright. Problem is anything other than stock Android irritates me and Sony puts a lot of its bullshit on their smartphones.

Are there any other good Android phones around that 4.5"-5" size after Motorola is kill?

Get the Zte warp elite instead, best $75 phone out there. It's essentially an iPhone 5 with better battery, screen, double the RAM, better camera, ect.

>Can someone also tell me how much data I might use or direct me to a site which estimates that
Your best bet is to get the boost base plan with auto-reboost ($30/month) and buy additional high speed data if you need it ($10/2GB). After a month or two average how much data you used and if you used too much theb get the $55/month unlimited high speed data plan else get one of the cheaper plans.

Personally I just went balls out and got the unlimited high speed data plan and called it a day.

Haven't been able to research much. His moto X shit the bed hardcore so he needs something new for cheap. Skipped the 6P, suggested OP3, phone store wagecuck I formed us of ZTE, figured id let /g/ help.

Does the 1440 screen suck the battery? My 950 gets good life so I can't see it being an issue. Apparently OP3 has better developer support

What the fuck is up with the fucking google play store app? It's always being displayed with high battery drain on my Z3 stats and when I tap on it it says that it's been using my fucking GPS for like 10+ goddamn hours. I don't even have the fucking thing on. Why the fuck is this happening?

Also, I'm running the latest version of marshmallow and it's rooted. What should I delete to get rid of google's bullshit if it comes to that?
>>
>>56294213
The one available in my country is Snapdragon 616.
The Price gap between ZTE V6 and Lenovo K5 is 600MXN ( about 30 USD ).

Lenovo's price here is about ~180USD, not sure if I can get something better with that.
>>
>>56294559
Same specs as Redmi 3 then. not bad.
If you can't import phones into Mexico than go for it.
>>
>>56292669
nice. did you get it with the snapdragon or the exynos? what about the pen? is it just a gimmick like the iris scanner, or do you get use out of it?

My S5 is shitting on me, looking for a new phone. I live in burgerland and I'm looking for:

-Android
-removable battery (not a dealbreaker but preferable)
-microsd support
-decent/good battery life
-no softkeys (not a dealbreaker but strongly not preferred)

I've been looking and currently am torn between the Nexus 5X, Redmi Note 3, and Moto X Pure. The first and last have softkeys and the first is a little pricier, so I'm hesitant to include them. I've never used a chinkphone before and am a little concerned about the lack of 4G LTE support in the US for Xiaomi phones. Also been looking at the S7/Edge but that price tag, plus the Note seems to be lackluster and not worth the extra money.

If anyone's got any advice that'd be greatly appreciated.

>>56294746
I was looking at it but is it worth it to get that vs stretching a bit for the Moto X Pure? When comparing specs it didn't seem worth it to add it to consideration compared to the Moto X or Redmi, but I'm not entirely sure if I was right in doing so.
>>
>>56294507
>Does the 1440 screen suck the battery?
Not really. Simple stuff like rendering text and basic GUIs won't tax the SoC and therefore the battery too much. However 3D vydia will drain the battery somewhat faster but unless you play vydia 24/7 then this won't be an issue.

>My 950 gets good life so I can't see it being an issue.
>Apparently OP3 has better developer support
That doesn't magically make all it's serious flaws ok. Beside that dev support is mainly for beta testing the newest Android version google shits out.
>>
>>56294856
Well the pure has better specs, but the G4 will get more support because it's a newer model.

RN3P with SD650 is stronger than both but no 4G sucks.

N5X is soon to be replaced too. maybe wait for the new Nexii launch?

>>56294909
I see, I hadn't even considered support (d'oh). Thank you for laying that out. I'd read somewhere that it was livable to use the RN3P with just 3G but I can imagine it would be grating to downgrade to 3G at this point. I think I might strongly consider biding my time if my phone lasts till the launch date for the new Nexii, they look pretty good. Only thing deterring me is the kinda hefty price (inb4 poorfag, I know). Thank you though for the advice, helped a lot and narrowed my options down a bit.

Also check these 2 chinks. same size as Moto X Pure but with SD820 and cheaper.
The Zuk is lenovo too but with a smaller screen.

>>56295007

Yeah the new Nexii will probably cost a ton at launch. but the 5X will go down in price hopefully.
>>
>>56295013
Thank you for the link, that's pretty nifty. Damn, there's a lot of sleek phones out there. Hate to ask but having added the OnePlus 3 to that comparison, looks like it actually holds up. I'd prefer a non-chink phone (the main issues for me are warranty and connectivity issues — I'm very hesitant to be stuck with 3G or wifi alone) but the Zuk is pretty damn nice.
>>56295048
Fingers crossed, it's a design that's kind of grown on me at this point. Thank you so much for your help.
>>
>>56295090
OnePlus is chink too though, although they have better reputation than other chinks.
I'd wait for the Nexus launch and see then, probably lots of models will become more affordable. Axon 7 is also a good option at this price point.
>>
I'm about to buy the Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime. Should I buy the global rom version? I intend to flash cm13. I am in Canada if it matters.
>>
>>56295163
Whoa, really? I thought it wasn't. At any rate, I'll wait for the Nexus launch if I can. You're right, there's not really a lot of detriment in doing so; I'll add the Axon 7 to my list. Thank you!

Pablo here, dont bother with that one, i got my Redmi Note 3 Pro from gearbest for 4800 MXN with no additional shipping costs, getting a 1080p/3 GB ram smartphone with SD slot for that price is practically a steal since every single carrier here is still asking for 3000+ MXN for the most basic phone with a sub 720p screen and 1 GB of ram at best, and they dont even list the specs anymore, only the size and how many megapixels the camera has to jew you into buying a shit phone, and i doubt you have 25,000 MXN to burn on a S7E.

For good cheap phones there is also the Moto G1 (900-1200 MXN, 720p, 1 GB ram, battery last all day, doesnt even need a custom rom because no lag but it still has bretty good custom rom support, its only faults are the lack of SD slot, limited internal storage and the fact that this is THE poorfag phone), BLU R1 HD (2400 MXN, 720p, 2 GB ram, no idea about support, ugly as sin and cheap looking) and the Moto G4 Plus (5000-5600 MXN, 1080p, 4 GB ram, SD slot, good custom rom support, fingerprint/gyro/every other gimmick, nice design but shitty snapdragon)
>>
>>56295181
You can always flash the global rom later. don't buy "sealed box" because you'll end up with a doa unit. for CM13 you need to unlock the bootloader, flash dev rom and then CM.

I'm planning on buying Doogee X5.
Do any of you guys have it?
What are your experiences?
I don't need some beast phone, just browsing, RC and texting.
Also, is it easy to root and does it have custom ROMs?
>>
>>56295275
Get the X5 Max Pro instead. it's the newer model with better specs for pretty much the same price.

Review from /csg/:

Easy to root. not sure about roms yet.

I want a phone w/ a good cam and minimum 2 gb of ram (pref 3gb) and no lame 6.0 marshmallow

Mainly looking @ the Honor 5x and Moto G3

Im on the same road as you. Except im stuck with a note 4. But let me tell you this. It took a long ass time to get this rooted and the bootloader unlocked. I have an s7 rom snd touchwiz has definitely improved but small things are annoying as fuck if you don't have root and xposed. I heard the at&t version of the note 7 got rooted but verizon will fuck you hard. I suggest the new nexus coming up, the htc 10, or the moto droid z force if you can stand not having a headphone jack.
