my budget is $200

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

Hear so much stuff about the G3 and nothing about the 5X. Anyone have it? Pro and cons


is there another phone i should be looking at that'll fit my budget??

Hello goys,

I think I need an upgrade, I got a Nexus 5x on Project Fi, and it sucks dick lmao.
Do you guys have any recommendations?
I have a few simple needs:
Off Screen buttons
Expandable storage
Pretty good rear camera

the Redmi Note series looks okay, but the camera seems dookie.

I was thinking about the new sony's but they seem over priced, for standard specs

Price cap is like 500 - 600 USD

Is the T-Mobile Jump program a scam? I don't know what they mean by zero down, will I basically be paying the price of a new phone if I have a LG G3 and trade it in?

>>56295928
what really?

>>56295941
How so? I'm very happy with my Nexus 5X. What went wrong for you, anon

Look into the axon 7 maybe btw, or maybe the new nexus

>>56295835
Are _we_ real?

>>56295964
From what I've seen yes
I had an y330, terrible camera, shit software
A friend got a huawei with dual cameras, don't know which model but it was shit
Reviews on the dual camera modules say they're shit

Also the operating systems is pretty bad. I and my friend who also has a huawei don't receive Slack notifications when we are on mobile data for example

If you want a phone with a good camera stick to the big western brands (Samasung, Motorola, LG, maybe Oneplus)
Huawei is low tier chink brand
Xiaomi is good tier chink brand but cameras are average

anyone here use Ting?

About to purchase the Moto G3 because it's finally time to replace my moto x gen 1 that's currently on life support.

I'm getting the g3 because I don't want a 5-inch or larger screen. Considered the g4 play but it doesn't seem worth it and I'm tired of waiting.

Am I making a mistake with the g3? My Moto X is easily the best phone I've ever had, I wish they would just make another one with the same shape and size but updated specs

It Socrates easily, only 4GB of RAM, Snapoven version has vomit inducing performance, and it's just simply way overpriced right now.

>>56296132
So far ram hasn't been an issue at all, and the performance is fantastic. I'm not 1:1 comparing it obviously so I'm not noticing any slow down at all.

Damnit, keep trying, I need to hate this phone.

Is this going to save sony?

>>56296068
No idea about that one
Try to find reviews on the internet

The thing with phone cameras is that 50% of quality is given by the actual camera, the other 50% by the software. As you can imagine camera software ain't simple.
Big brands that are mature on the smartphone market have years of experience with writing camera software so it actually provides decent quality
Then a brand like Huawei comes into the market and straps two good cameras on a phone but are incapable of writing good software and the result is bad

>>56296104
ehh, I was referring to brands that own the biggest market share in the western smartphone sales

>>56296118
>5.5 inch screen (too big)
>no indent on the back for one handed use perfection
>power button on the back instead of side

>>56296486
Worked fine on my LG G3, but the HTC has some kind of adjustable auto brightness that you can increase or decrease the range of.

So you can set the brightness while it's on auto to control the effect of the adjustment, but I haven't really noticed it.

Also, I'm still trying to feel out the battery life, still on stock. Haven't gotten more than 4h.

>>56296592
That phone, as well as some other LG phones, have a major hardware fault that causes them to enter a bootloop that you can't recover from.

It's why they're so cheap on the used market.

see pic related. Ironically I actually own an SE. It'll probably end up being sold on ebay for like $250 by me because of a few scratches so go there if you want a better deal I guess. I only used it for about 3 months since I bought it unlocked.

iPhones suck but the SE really takes the cake. The super low res and tiny screen just don't cut it anymore for most things. Text looks blocky especially because you have to look at it 1 inch away on that tiny screen. That and all the problems in pic related have made me lose all hope in aplel phones.

That's right

There is an occasional shitposter who claims all smartphones are the same. I know he's wrong, I really like unique things like Yotaphone's second display, Note's stylus, V10s display strip, Asus Zoom's camera, stuff like that.

But more than unique hardware, which I know it's getting rarer, is the any useful unique software provided by manufacturers? Anything you've ever found remotely useful?

Get it repaired

any suggestions for a semi poor fag?

I sort of agree. androids suck. having to pay for an iphone is like a new car

I have a 6s and I'm not planning on buying the new one, when should I stop updating IOS ?

>>56299554
iphones at least get updated for 3 years or more, at least the 5 and on will. fucking android is garbage with updates. it's fucking sad that snapdragon 800/801 devices are already unable to be updated.

I'm going from a One M8 to a Note 7. This is the first time I've switched from Android phone to Android phone. Is there any program or anything I can use to transfer stuff from the on-board memory of my M8 to my Note? Most of my games and stuff are on the internal storage.

Have this exact phone as a daily driver. It's decent but after rooting it and installing Xposed and some modules it's slow as fuck now. Also rom support is a wasteland, there is one dude currently trying to port CM12.1. at 150$, would not recommend, but I bought it for 99 so it's worth.

>>56296520
It's a million times better since it doesn't run that POS OS.

>>56299417
Eh, some manufacturers have a few okay programs - I'm using the Blackberry keyboard on my LG device.
But for the most part user-developed apps are almost always the best and most supported programs.
After all, more and more users are wanting manufacturers to just stick with a lightweight, more stock Android skin.

>>56299447
Probably Android - not just coming from an anti-Apple /g/ autismo, but if you're tech literate whatsoever, just pick a phone best for your uses / budget.
And how poorfag we talking?
Really generic answers, I'd say:
BLU Advance 5 is $60.
Huawei Honor 5X is $190.
Moto 4G Plus is $250.
OnePlus 3 is $400.

>>56299647
Common sense, and don't download apps from outside the Google Play Store, and you'll be fine.
Most phone security flaws come from apps outside of the store, since Google and Apple both scan / remove any apps that are found to contain any viruses or security risks.

Is a used Note 4 a good phone for 2016? Going to cost me $180

>>56300524
Yeah, sounds like you really just need a dumbphone.
If you really just want a phone for nothing but that, there's the Blu Tank II for $18 off Amazon.

MicroSD slot for up to a 32 GB card.
1,900 mAh battery is comparable to flagship phones, minus the power-hogging hardware. (Razr was 740 mAh battery)
Bluetooth capable.
Can be a mp3 player.

Moto G4
Blu Life XL
Xperia C4
Which should I get and why? Carrier is At&t

>>56301048
Yes

I bought an s7 edge and i'm really getting annoyed at how hard the thing is to hold without activating some button or it interfering with me trying to press something else, but the phone is confused because it sees me pressing something but then it also sees my palm pressing the edge of the screen due to the touch screen rolling around the side.

I'd return it and get a regular s7 if I could but since I got it from ebay that's not an option.

i'm wondering if anyone has had the same experience as me. I was thinking maybe the right case could solve my problem. Something that gives me a better grip on the sides.

>anyone here use Ting?

i do! last month's bill was $30 something, i think. that's for two phones w/ 500 mins, 1000 messages, and 500 mb, i believe.

don't really need unlimited data since there's wifi at home and at work. not a heavy phone user so it makes no sense to pay more than necessary.

considered boost mobile but i'd end up paying three times more, and it's carrier locked. no, thanks.

>>56301469
>>56296054

I use Ting too, it's been great so far

So I've got a Moto G4 from Amazon.co.uk for 150GBP. Liking the phone so far, but have one issue. Since I've got it from UK, it has the UK Fast Charging plug that is UK three-pin. My question is, if I use three-pin to two-pin adapter, will it work for Fast Charging, or I am better off buying original two-pin?

>>56296054

Ting CDMA is tough to justify over RingPlus, especially since their cheap Mad plans fixed the main issue that'd justify going to a different Sprint MVNO (voice latency) and their free plans are some of the best for conservative data power users.

GSM is pretty competitive, though. They also have very good customer service; I would definitely be considering them if I wasn't on Sprint/RingPlus and if I was running multiple light usage lines. If I ran one GSM or Verizon line, I'd probably run the one year of Red Pocket deal, though, as it gives 1000min/1000txt/500mb a month for under 20 dollars a month, or maybe the 2gb T-Mobile data only plan for around 20 a month using Google Hangouts.

I feel confident and knowledgeable enough handling complex or questionable services for cheap (See: RingPlus or Freedompop respectively), but honestly I could feel comfortable recommending Ting to just about anyone. I'm spoiled due to awareness, but most people do save a ton on Ting compared to the big four and would probably prefer their customer service, too...

Its an issue on every phone. Battery will degrade on every device. If you're content with losing 10% of the nominal battery capacity, then its not an issue.

I dunno m8, personally love the design. why the fuck does Sony overcharge their shit so much though? And for just fucking little more they could have a 3000mAh battery like the HTC 10 and S7.

The question is how much do you need that replaceable battery.

-1080p diplay
-decent camera
-3bg ram
-android
it's something that i need now, so i don't know if i an wait for the nexus
i'm in europe, btw, and it seems that the axon 7 is disappeared. is the oneplus 3 screen really that bad after the sRGB update? it was one of my first choice but a lot of people here seems to think is shit so i'm not so sure now

>>56302803
Just recently there was an app analytics report released showing how apps crash a lot less on Xperias than on any other device. Not to mention they also have the lightest and less obtrusive software.
Since their hardware is designed in Japan, and their software coded in Sweden, I'd rather pay extra so as not to have anything made by street shitters on my hand.

Australia something under $400

I have a Samsung J1 that is an absolute piece of shit. Just wanted to be able to have basic social apps installed without the phone freezing and lagging. I also have huge issue with the screen and moisture on my fingers.

>>56302934

Can't you enable or disable sRGB mode on the Oneplus 3?
Looking at an actual colorimeter test, it appears to have drastically improved. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
Green is the dominant color in this mode, but it's still technically speaking more accurate.
Could always disable it and go back to default, non sRGB mode if you want to, though.

>>56303420
Just take a peek over at aliexpress. They have tons of these headsets. You can get them starting from 80c but then you'll get a cardboard box one. I've got a plastic one with adjustable lens width. I believe it's a Shinecon, i've got a crappy lumia 640 but even then it gives me some decent experience with it. Gonna upgrade soon though.

Hey guys, lurker here.

I would like to buy a new smartphone, my good old Galaxy SIII has had more and more random crashes and whatever ROM changes or reset I do doesn't seem to fix anything.

My budget is up to 400$, Android, easy to flash, if possible on the small side, specs at least as good or better than my old SIII with a decent camera, EU/US/Aus compatible.

Thanks for your help !

Hi /spy/, I'm buying my mom a refurbished Note 4 on Thursday. Anything I should look out for? Should I even buy a refurbished phone to begin with?

>>56304892
Either the 5x or the new smaller Nexus if it's cheap enough to fit in your budget.

>>56305272
My current phone as bought refurbished from Swappa (moto x pure) and it worked out fine. Just make sure you don't cheap out too much and buy her a slightly damaged device.

>>56304408
I still don't understand why people fall for the samshit meme. If you have the money, then spend it on a nexus.

What does /g/ think about the elephone p9000? It's cheaper than a xiaomi mi5 and supports LTE in europe.

Bought a moto g4 plus, 64gb, with wooden back. How bady did I fuck up /g/?

>Either the 5x or the new smaller Nexus if it's cheap enough to fit in your budget.
>recommending the 5X LG bootlooper

>>56305392
I just got a 32gb one.
Seems good so far, although I wish they had a smaller size because who needs memory when you have microsd slots.

>>56305307
It's $250. I asked to see some of their other refurbished phones and they looked brand new besides some finger print smudges. I'm more worried about the phone potentially crapping out on her but since it's only a 2 year old phone (at most) I doubt that's likely anyway.

>>56305307
>>56305435

I was looking at the Nexus 5X. Are you saying it got stability problems ?

>>56304352
>>56304319
See the responses to >>56288378 from yesterday. useful suggestions there.

>>56305488
5x is fine,that other guy is just memeing you.
In reality, the Moto x pure is a better device than the 5x, but due to shortcomings with Motorola support, security updates, and longer wait time for updates I would recommend the 5x over the x pure.

>>56305495
Cheers!

So my carrier finally pushed 6.0.1 to my S6, and the double lock screen makes me fucking angry every time I pick it up. What's the suggested replacement OS?

How are the maps on it? I've heard it has no compas

>>56305728
Do you also need to swipe BEFORE you can pin/pattern unlock, or is that just Samsunggotry?

why should i put a custom rom on my phone

>>56305796
Because it's 2009.

>>56302207
I would if the G4 didn't have a screen larger than 5 inches

Alright lads.
Got myself a Ulefone Power for a work beater, and it's pretty fucking utilitarian. IMO just need to rubberise the back for some more grip.

>>56305865

Which phones work on Verizon that don't have carrier bloatware?

>>56304408
Wouldn't reccomend. The RAM management is very poor. Aside from that, it's good.

New nexus phones fucking when?

>>56306149
Can that be fixed with updates or is it a problem with the hardware itself?

To what extent will that give me grief with my phone? I don't plan to game or use VR or anything overly strenuous with it.

It's going to be new iPhone season now, so they'll probably wait until after than for an announcement.

Is there a reason why the newest sony phones (z5 c / z5 / z5p) have barely any community support? Are they that unpopular?

I really don't want waste a week researching and checking out different phones. Just tell me what the most solid one is and I'll check it out.

My provider is offering an obscure chinkphone with 1GB ram and Android 6 for free when renewing my contract.

Should I take it or it's garbage with 1GB? I was thinking of giving it to someone.

Looking for a ~$150 phone that works on Wind Mobile (UMTS 1700/2100 network/AWS). Basically just want to use it for watching videos, studying from powerpoint slides, and playing a bit of Pokemon Go during my long commute to and from school. Battery life and adequate processing power are the highest priority, don't give a shit about screen quality or size/thinness. Was looking at a bunch of chinkphones, but haven't found one that actually works on my network.

If you put CM on it it's pretty good. Not bad for a regular user, games will make it heat up due to the 616 chip though.

How do I get better battery for the HTC 10? Barely pushing 3hrs at best while people on XDA are managing 5.5.

I haven't gotten around to rooting the thing yet since the default Rom is so inoffensive.

Pic related. Buy a battery case if you're that worried.

>>56309586
People on XDA tend to literally use their phone until it dies. Notice that their standby is very low but their screen on is high. That's not normal usage, so you shouldn't take their results seriously.

>>56308590
Maybe. The 6p is a little bit bigger so it might get annoying

>>56310031
Well, I'm a sperg about battery life, and honestly the HTC would be a perfect phone if the battery was 3200 or 3500mah. I'm planning to root eventually, so I'm wondering if another Rom/kernel would give better results.

Coming off my last phone, which would be down to 80% or so after waking up and unplugging it, and going outside with location on.

If so, how come s7 edge scores less than s7?

I'm on T-Mobile US.

Basically looking between a couple different phones. I don't really game except for some weeb 2D mobage shit, mostly text and internet/youtube usage. I use wifi almost everywhere possible so 4G isn't the most important for me, but at least 3G is important. Other things very important are micro SD and a 3.5mm jack.

Redmi 3 Pro (Should I get the prime variant with 3GB of RAM or is 2 fine?) Con being it doesnt have 6.0 yet but it's in testing. Camera doesn't bother me since I don't take many pictures.

Huawei Honor 5X which is on sale for $160 this week but is arguably weaker than the redmeme, however I could return to a US store if I encounter issues. I really like the UI from what I've tried of it. It already has 6.0.

Meizu m3 note (I heard the m2 was more powerful but surely that can't actually be possible?) I'm really a fan of AMOLED devices.

No matter what it'll be a major upgrade, I'm coming from a Galaxy Note II that is really showing it's age at this point.

>>56310408
Redmi 3s is better than Redmi 3. but you only get one 3G band (1900MHz) and that's it. no 4G and 3G will be wonky as well.

Honor 5X has same specs as R3 and it does have band 2, 4 and 12 so it does have the correct bands.

Meizu is mediakek so I'd stay away from it.

How about Moto G4? same specs and price.

/spg/, what's the best Android phone that's still viable as a daily driver with a 4 inch screen? Is it just the Moto X and the Nexus 4 or am I missing anything? It's not for me (I actually bought a Yotaphone 2) but for someone who can't into big screens.

I've never been so frustrated with a piece of tech in all my life.

So what probably happened was because the original keyboard it came with was really shitty (just like the rest of the phone) I replaced it with the google keyboard from the play store and upon reseting the phone it deleted the google keyboard without restoring the original keyboard.

Is it a brick now or is there some way, any possible way I can get out of this LG activation purgatory? I feel so defeated.

I meant the Redmi Note 3 Pro with the Snapdragon processor. From what I understand it's much more powerful than the Honor 5X but the Honor 5X seems to get more frequent updates

I have a S7 which is being a piece of shit. Bottom line is I need to send it in for "repair" which is slated for 4-6 weeks.

I am looking at either nexus 5X or the new Sailfish. Can I go wrong with the 5x?

I would sell my S7 after it comes back from "repair". Fuck Samsung.

>>56311950
From one piece of shit to another!

>>56311902
Well you got it messed up.

Redmi 3 - SD616 5".
Redmi 3s - SD430 5".
Redmi Note 3 Pro - SD650 5.5".
Honor 5X - SD616 5.5".

Yes RN3P is much faster than Honor 5X and the smaller Redmi's.

On t-mobile you'll get H+ and maybe 4G depends where you are.

Redmi gets lots of updates actually, they just released MiUi 8 few days ago and Android 6.0 for it is in beta test and will probably come out in few weeks.

It's a better device overall. not sure what bands Honor 5X supports on t-mobile though so check that out first.

>>56311950
The 5x is... decent.

do you guys use a screen protector

>>56312011
Honor 5X fully supports T-Mobile 4G LTE. So assuming I can get them for the same price I should go with the Redmi Note 3 Pro. Do I go with the base 2GB RAM model or the 3GB?

>>56311092
Have a microSD slot? Cause that can sometimes split a collection into multiple folders, depending on how you added it to your device.

>>56312060
3GB is more future proof. also MiUi takes a lot of RAM to itself so keep that in mind.

If you can buy the Honor locally go for it though, you'll get support and full compatibility which could be troublesome on the RN3P.

Some anons said they got full H+ and 4G coverage in the city but I've seen reports that some people didn't even get 3G in other area so it's a gamble.

>>56312122
I can buy Honor 5X at my local best buy for $159 new and it has a 1 year warranty. Probably will go with that then for peace of mind unless someone else can give an especially good reason to take the Xiaomi over it

>>56312122
I own an Honor 5X, and honestly the stock software on it was so shit I had to install CM. It still runs like garbage compared to my old N5. Lags at every opportunity, apps freeze and crash, sometimes you will tap on something and then 10 seconds later the action is performed.

It's entirely possible I'm just retarded, so if anyone has any idea how to make the phone run well I'm all ears.

I used Poweramp with Lucky Patcher when I had a rooted phone but I got a new one and don't want to root it just yet.
