I want to swallow the Xiaomi pill.

Two quick questions about the Redmeme Note 3 Pro:
>who has had it more than a month? Does it still hold up?

>will it be good for FPSE(ps1 emulation)? I'm not a heavy gamer I just love playing the old playstation games on my phone from time to time

Anyone with a galaxy S6?

forgot to include:
Google will announce Pixel phones, 4K Chromecast, Google Home, Daydream VR viewer on October 4th

Great phone, even more so that CM13 is mostly flawless for daily use. MIUI is no reason to not have the RN3P now.

It will be good for emulation because it has a modest 1080p display (lower GPU requirements) and has high processing power, especially single threaded (better for emulators). Have not tried but my phones that are 1/4 as fast as this had no problems getting 60fps in PS1 games.

>>56388340
Isn't the Redmeme Note 4 Pro going to be announced some time soon?

>>56388228
in that size most likely not. I'd go for it, might do the same in the end.. Now that it also has official pa support and cm support will happen sooner or later it should be usable in the next 3 years.

New nexus - now pixel - phones don't look too promising, they will probably cost a fortune.

What would be best update from my lg g3?

Screen can be bigger but phone cant. Idealy it should be just a bit smaller (phone case). It must be snappy which g3 isnt, even though its 3gb version. It must have screen that actually displays colors, which g3 doesnt. Battery could be better too. Last requirement is android os.

>>56388768
Those 32GB turn to ~20GB after you download a few apps. Nigga that's not enough. 128GB would be enough but nobody wants to suck googles cock just for that. You can get a 128GB microsd card for $30 and eventually it will drop to $20.

Is the CPU (Helio X20) any good from what you know?
And, will the pro have 4GB of RAM?

>>56388927
X20 CPU is a little bit faster than the SD650 on the RN3P, but the GPU is slower and since it's mediatek no one makes rom's for it and there are no global rom either because it's only sold in China.

I've heard the the Pro will have SD652 and 4GB RAM. it should launch by new years.

What about microUSB?
I'm using a BLU phone (inb4 kill yourself) temporarily and they provided a 5.0V-1.A wall plug. It's slow as fuck.

Now that the new Google phones are out of the question, would buying the 6p with the definite price drop be a good investment? I'm coming from the Nexus 5 and that's what I need out of a phone but I don't mind having front facing speakers / Nougat.

My main concern is : how is the heat management on the 6p?
Fuck Pokemon Go because that game is dying anyways, so how is it on typical apps like Snap YouTube Spotify / Multitasking / etc

The viscous cycle of the flagship buyers reminds me of bipolar disorder, they have manic episodes where their mood is extremely elevated when they're getting hyped about the newest product up until they get it, then they have a short honeymoon phase of using the phone. It all ends when they read about the glaring flaws their phone has, they can't justify the amount of money that they paid for it and they regret it. They spend the next year or two saying how they won't get jewed again but they just fall into the same viscous cycle. Constantly cucked by the flagships, enduring no support, bloated preinstalled apps, laggy UI and lackluster screen on time. They are beings who are actually fooled by marketing.

Then you have the average chinkphone buyer (pic related) who knows what they want, how to get it and how much they want to pay. A superior being who has surpassed the flagship drone, a fully self actualized alpha male who takes what he wants and leaves his beta brethren in the gutter like with the discarded syringes and rats.

Why do Android phones shit the bed twice as much as Apple even though they have double the specs?

Yeah but I heard 5x not even lasting a day. Like, charger by 5pm bad.

>>56389693
Because freedom isn't free. Not all costs have a dollar sign affixed, the costs with android are the costs to your time to figure out how to optimize your device the best, the apps to use and when/what to upgrade.

If you don't spend a little time researching and learning then you'll be disappointed. With Apple you don't really have that choice, they have a baseline that is 'pretty good' but you sacrifice your freedom for that which is a choice that you need to personally make for yourself.

>>56389431
why are they out of question? afaik they still come with android stock, don't they?

>>56389786
Is that the single thing that matters when you're buying a phone?

>>56389809
I don't get it either, if it supports cyanogenmod or if it has the OS that motorolla phones have then it's completely fine and usable.

>>56389809
no but everyone thought they would be regular nexus phones, now they aren't but they are still from google and get direct updates. I don't see the problem here. Explain please.

Battery, ram and screen size are the same.

Serious question and memeing aside, how the hell do the xiaomi phones get such good battery life?

Like, I know they have huge batteries.. but why don't the phones you can buy at a store in a white country have big batteries?

Only had it for a week. Has been decent, battery life is insane, it's fast, screen is nice and was easy to root.

It would easily deal with ps1 emulation, phones from 2013 could play ps1 games flawlessly.

>>56389994
I would probably fall for that meme if my supplier sold those. Huawei was the only chinkphone option I had.

still seems like an upgrade from Xperia M2 which after 2 years decided to shit the bed.

So is the 6P still worth getting? It's a whole lot cheaper than the S7, does the 6P have any big competitors in its' price range?

>>56390150
huh, yeah probably. But you could have done better I think.

>>56390057
You can unlock it without applying for the bootloader with minimal effort, you just need to follow a set of instructions.

You can also apply to unlock the bootloader before you even get the phone so you can instantly unlock the phone as soon as you get it.

Is there an equivalent phone to the BLU Life One X that isn't chink / better battery?

It's very reminiscent of the nexus 5 but the 5 is dead now

>>56390375

I have used the 800 and 801 and they're still very capable processors.

Only thing I'd say is newer ones require less power and don't get as hot.

You don't but right now it's getting so overblown that even retailers are offering to replace the current note7s with alternate phones until the recall is done.

>>56390899
It deserves all the shilling it gets tho. Specs are amazing for 150$. The build quality is solid as well. Supports custom roms so it will have a long and prosperous life. Great battery life. Literally the only downside is its camera. It's only average even in the midrange segment.

>>56391735
>why, are you a small man? How embarrassing.

No, I wear nice well fitting clothing. There is no place for a whale sized phone. They're made for people that dress like slobs and don't care about their appearance.

Glass is at least better than metal for reception and other things like wireless charging.

>Samsung is releasing a foldable phone in 2017

Finally, I've been waiting for that since foldable OLED was announced. It's probably only going to have one folding point, but it'll still be neat if you can change a 5" phone into an 8" tablet type thing on the fly.

So, break my bubble, is the Oneplus 3 actually worth the 400 sheckels?

I feel like the 6 gigs of RAM is the thing they lure you in with while the rest of the phone is shit...

Just recently got a 6p and upgraded to Nougat. I use Snap/YouTube/GoogleMusic/Maps/Chrome daily have not had the phone get excessively hot. My old HTC M8 got way hotter doing the same tasks. RAM management on the 6P has been good too. The whole Snapdragon 810 / Housefire 810 is a meme.

>>56393381
Good to hear man.
I hope it's not as bad as the 5x, but Ill buy the 6p once the price drops.

My S7 died (#NeverSamsung)


Thinking of buying the Nexus 5X - can I go wrong or do better for the price?

>>56393339
It depends on who you are and where you're at. Glass phones with no case is pretty common in a lot of places of business. They're nearly as ubiquitous as $1000+ watches.

Want a ''small'' phone, with 1080p display, 64gb+, fast enough to not freeze on me. Will use it as my main music player.

Looking at the OnePlus X, GS5, and GS6.

Something else i should consider? If not, which should i go for?

>>56393672
HTC have best DACs. Xperia z3c is an option too.

S3 is on it's last leg, stuck using a beater phone from 2010 :( On wind mobile, do I wait for new nexus phones or do I get something now (maybe 6p or 5x?) all I care about is battery life, sd card and a screen as good as the S3

TFW no proper 5000MAH phone

>>56393741
> battery life
> SD card
Definitely not nexus

>>56393672
HTC 10 is a fantastic phone for music. Great DAC, microSD slot, decent battery, not too huge (a little bigger than S5/6)

>>56393672
OnePlus X is the phone I'm using now. It's not perfect, but it's really good. Headphone controls are a bit buggy, screen casting doesn't work very well, but it has a great design, SD card and FM radio. Battery life is decent and performance is ok.

>>56393602
What did you do this time anon?

If you want a google supported phone then no.

Otherwise some memephone from china like a xiaomeme would be okay too.

what happens when I fully disable all gapps on a phone? Do they still send data to jewgle?

>>56393872

I did nothing, just Samshit sold me a fucking lemon. Sending it in for warranty repair, ill sell it on craigslist, and then #NeverSamsung from here on out

my sony still works after 3 years pretty good. I might get another sony for my next phone.

Currently have iphone 6s 16gb, I feel claustrophobic of the tiny ass storage, I'm going to sell it to some random white girl in order to recover a part of my investment.

Nokia 808

You see how nobody is replying? Bc people want 5 or 5.5 inches. Bigger than that is ridiculous.

just get a 6s, it's going to have a few more years of updates, and it'll be discounted because of the 7.

Fuck it, it will be my animu machine for work and then keep an usb around the world.

I traded in my iPhone 4S and iPad Air 2 for a Samsung S7 Edge and got a free case/32 gig SD card with it.

I just have a banking app, Crunchyroll, and Firefox on it. What should I get? I like to cut down on clutter.

My galaxy s7 suddenly rebooted 3 times in a row, and now, it just freezes after 60 seconds or so. It's constantly frozen. I'm pretty sure this means I need to get it replaced. Fuck me for buying a phone under contract.

Yes, yes it is. It's been proven many times it works on t-mobile with 4g

>>56397572
It's fine. I haven't personally experienced any hiccups; more so on 5.1 than any other iteration. Factory resets do fix almost all problems a phone has, or restarts and a full charge. The reason I would recommend a Note 4 is because with an extended battery case a large mSD you can use this phone for years without any qualms.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-32GB-SM-N910T-GSM-Unlocked-4G-LTE-Android-Smartphone-/252178725754 is another option but only 30 days vs 90 days. However their feedback seems to be way better than woot's reputation

Wait RN3P has HSPA+ support once you change the APN. Would that be fast enough for routine activities like shitposting on 4chan and praising chinkshit?

>>56400060
I've used HSPA+ for a long time since it uses less battery than LTE. It's plenty fast. But if you feel you need LTE you'll have to look elsewhere

>>56400103

I dont do much since I am a rather boring person. I mostly use it for shitposting on the go. Fine enough speed for that? Would save nearly 300$ if I got it working well enough with t-mobile.

I'm thinking about ordering the international version from geekbuying. It can also be found on aliexpress but paypal is nice to have. If it doesn't work for me on t-mobile I'll just return it, can't cost that much to ship back

According to anons back in the archive it worked on band 4 and 2 for HSPA+ but just know it doesn't have band 12 if your area counts on that

>>56400259
My are does not currently have band 12 support anyways, though they are working on it and will finish this year apparently.
How vital would that band be? It doesnt sound like it wpuld much, since we already dint have it..

>>56400325
Band 12 is a newer band that's mostly for LTE. It's only nice for future proofing, but if you don't have LTE anyways it won'y make a difference I don't htink

>>56400339

Actually jk my are does have it. Not like it matters since my current burner is
>>56400248

I think redmemes is winning me over here as a slight upgrade even without band 12 coverage.

The more and more and I phone shop the more I realize that reading forums and reddits and shit for phones is useless. Every damn phone is painted as complete garbage. I guess no one ever talks about their phones they have good experiences with.

I was all set to buy a Nexus 5X, but god damn it sounds like the worst phone ever if you go to the reddit page for it.

What kinds of connectivity are people in the USA getting with the RN3P?

Looking around online hasn't produced a straight answer - I want to know what kind of speeds I'll be able to get.

I was interested in the 5x too until I read about the dreadful battery life. Moto X Pure has even worse battery. I was interested in the LG V10 then I found it seems to be bootlooping like th G4 did. Moto G4 allegedly overheats and lags. Oneplus Two was shit. Xperia Z3 cracks easily.

I'm left wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to get and I'm pretty much just looking at a redmi or refurb Note 4 at this point (which 20 or so people claim to have issues with post MM, though most are euro model and I live in the US. fucking kill me.)

According to the internet literally every phone I look up has issues. What am I supposed to do

I have a GS4 with a busted screen and Sprint. I really want to change carriers so I think I might just do the $250 32GB Nexus 5X from Project Fi. Try that out and if it doesn't work well, just go to AT&T or Cricket.

Can always sell the 5X if I don't like it I guess. Probably wouldn't lose too much.

I wish the upcoming Nexus/Pixel or whatever weren't going to be $500+.

BlackBerry Priv, STV100-1.

I got it direct from the manufacturer with 5.1.1, then updated it to 6.0.1, and it was a fucking dream. Streamed YouTube videos for over an hour straight and it didn't even break a sweat, with the screen at moderate brightness, and it wasn't even warm.

Did a factory reset and entered some Jewgle shit afterwards, and the damn thing may as well be a glorified hand warmer. I could do LITERALLY NOTHING and the phone would still get warm.

It's been less than a week since I've got it, and I'm pretty sure I could get a replacement.

I don't really want to get a refund since I got it on sale for 150 dollars less, but I will if the warmness persists after I fix it.


This is also relevant: what are some good, trustworthy sites to download apks from? I don't want to have to use fucking Google Play.
