Is this the model to buy?

I'd choose this $175USD Redmeme or a used $125 Nexus 5.

Thoughts?

>>56653816
or a used Nexus 5 $125CAD***
The redmeme would be ~$230CAD before taxes

Apparently my HTC 10 has a decent AMP/DAC. Would this allow me to use over ear cans on it?

Nexus 6P owners, tell me how are your phones holding up
>software-wise
>hardware-wise (and casing)

I'm interested in the 6P but scratching and #bendgate really bother me

>>56653816
Is this the Pro model? (SD650). make sure it is. the other one (X10) is junk.

>>56653924
>Flagship processor MTK Helio X10
>Speed! That’s what might be called the flagship smartphone. Speed of the smartphone allows us to fully appreciate and experience the whole range of positive emotions, playing different games. Redmi Note is equipped with high-performance 8-cores, in addition, it has a faster dual-channel internal memory eMMC 5.0, not to mention the new system MIUI 7.

So the pro version is the one everyone shills?

Thanks, I couldn't tell the difference between all the shitposts.

I'm guessing bw the Pro model and a Nexus 5 will be a huge diff in costs. Not sure what to go for.

Looking to get my first smartphone..

Any britbongs here got any good tips/advice for sims? I will pretty much never use it for calls, I just want something that will give me internet access in most places.

Also, any idea what wifi access in Manchester/Nottingham/London's like?

never owned android before
ill buy one on my bday on december.
which upcoming phone should I be keeping an eye on 400 euro or lower.
Just want something decent thatll last.

>>56653973
The upcoming Nexus lineup for the updates.

>>56653963
Yeah, don't even think about buying the non pro version, mediakek is shit.

It's $165 for the 3/32 version:

$130 for the 2/16 version.

HTC 10 or OnePlus 3? Why?

Is the snapdragon 808 fine? Thinking about getting a LG G4

Are there any networks in the US that have unlimited 2G / talk / text plans? I don't need data and it needs to be unlimited (2-3000 texts per month).

>>56653998

With the recent leaks about Google Pixel pointing that it won't use a Snapdragon 821, do you guys think it's worth waiting?
I mostly want a phone that has a great hardwar and that allows me to install Cyanogenmod when the SO gets obsolete.

>>56653664
so what I managed to do thursday evening was wipe persist.img when I was trying to unlock the bootloader

downloaded the global developer tgz, fished it out & flashed it; now ressurection remix is booting up properly

>>56654262
Depends on your carrier and location. t-mobile and at&t should work fine. note that this version is 2mm longer and thus cases won't fit.

Get the international version with the Global Rom because it has more wireless bands. Additionally, don't get the mediatek Note 3; get the Snapdragon one due to Cyanogenmod compatibility.

>>56654574
Yeah probably your best bet.

>>56653725

>>56655773

Should I go for an iPhone 6 or is it just going to be worthless in a couple of years?

Are there any decent hones on the market that can do dual sim AND a microsd slot?

>>56655884

>>56655916

>>56655931
Can't use two simcards and a Microsd at the same time.

Why are people shilling for the HTC 10 so much? It overheats very quickly, the camera is hit and miss, the display is mediocre and the body is a scuff and dent magnet. Plus it's very expensive.

What android to buy that is smaller than 5.5 inch screen?

>>56655971

Which smartphone under $80 do you recommend that is solid made and reliable? I has been hearing about the BLU R1 HD and don't mind the limitations but i've reading about it being very fragile or flat out start malfunctioning after a month of use.

I'm using a borrowed Lg Optimus L70 for about half a year now and while its very limited in many aspects its a very robust phone. Dropped many times, used it on very hot days outside, etc and still works fine but i need to get a phone of my own. Any recommendations?

mid-sized phone, good battery life, AOSP or other low-bloat unlocked distro. Would highly prefer IPX waterproof rating or has available IPX rated waterproof case (currently using S5 Active, shit's actually waterproof) because I'm outside all day in any weather with limited/no access to shelter or good rainwear. Must be user-removable battery. Highly prefer microSD card slot (don't particularly care about upper size limit, I usually use 16gb cards). Would kinda like USB-C/USB 3.1.

Hey /spg/, so I played with an S6 Edge in a store a while ago and the whole edge screen thing didn't really work, it just looked shadowy. Was that phone just broken or is that generally the case? And does it work on the S7?

How bad is screen burning on amoled phones? I checked out a demo nexus 6p unit that had Mediaworld logo and colors burnt in and visible on every screen. Would something like this occur in a regular phone or is it because it has been left all day everyday with the same shit on the screen.

b-but what if the device breaks after a year....
i honestly bought an op3 and returned it with great customer service desu.
i was jsut afraid (at the time) to own the device bc of its history of breaking down after a year... but for $25? not bad for a 2 year manufact warranty

Xiaomi is a huge company and will honour a 12 month warranty of you buy from an authorised reseller.

You don't need a developer ROM, just sideload Google Play and clear the bloatware.

You're going to have all these issues and more with an ancient second hand phone, and on top of that the battery will be fucked.

>>56660931
Nevermind. Never heard of it so I thought it was old as fuck. (TFT display kinda gave that away) Actually looks decent as a low end phone, except for the TFT display.

>>56660959

it's brand new and runs marshmellow

it's just cheap but it works fine

Any decent sub 5 inch phone available in europe?

Mostly care about a mostly asop android with minimal manufacturer modifications (or custom rom support) with okish prospects for receiving future updates (nougat and beyond). I dont need a good camera or a 4k panel and all that other fluff.

Budget is up to 500€ but would prefer to stay in the 100€-350€ range.

>>56660958
>I also found the galaxy grand prime, which, if I checked everything correctly, suits my specs.

the one i linked for $69 is literally the replacement for the grand prime, the prime cant run marshmellow and is being discontinued, this is it's successor, it's just a really good deal, more ram and higher resolution than the prime

>>56660958

Thanks. I was wondering which phone should I be getting when the time for upgrade comes. I was considering nexus, but I hate google.

By the way, how good is fingerprint unlocking? I don't want pin or pattern on my lockscreen but I still want the phone to be locked.

>>56662269
>By the way, how good is fingerprint unlocking? I don't want pin or pattern on my lockscreen but I still want the phone to be locked.
If you get a good fingerprint reader it is damn near instantaneous (look for demonstrations in video reviews - TechTablets is a great guy to watch for non-biased reviews).

And as for placement, my personal belief is right on the back is the absolute best - pick up a s.martphone as if you were going to look at the screen, and not where your index finger sits.
Now compare than to holding the phone as if you were going to look at the screen and moving your thumb to the centre button (as placed on the S7 and iPhone 7) - the back is SO much more natural.

Right now Xiaomi does fantastic fingerprint readers (like 95% accuracy rating and much faster than the iPhone 6S - my work phone, which I find to have at best an 80% accuracy rating); but I'm waiting for their take on the Helios X30 (which should be late November, early December) - they just dropped their latest Pro, but it has the fingerprint reader on the front and a gimmicky dual camera setup instead of one good one

Not automatically - but if you buy from an authorised re-seller they easily have the best warranty of any chinkphone.

If you're in the $150-200 price range, just grab a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon 650) - you won't find better for the money.
If you're willing to pay more, then start delving a bit deeper - a lot of manufacturers make a top end phone above their normal "flagship" - ie. LeEco has a phone with an X10, and X20 and a Snapdragon 820.

I've made a grave mistake

>>56656169
Just bought a Redmi 3 pro, definitely can't use two sim cards if you use a micro SD. The micro SD fits into one of the sim slots making it impossible to fit the sim card. Bummed when I found that out the hard way.

Any phone out right now to fit this criteria?

>Any price (as long as it's worth the price)
>No front button
>On-par with LG G4 camera quality
>Not a massive 2-hand device

>>56662805
>>buy a used flagship
Why even?

The 801 that still DOMINATED the flagship circuit less than two years ago is now markedly inferior to even the 650.
Combine that with terrible battery life (due to wear and the fact that large batteries are a recent addition, OPO was what gave the mainstream manufacturers a kick in the pants), a lack of modern features and often fractured ROM support (Gookphones are terrible for this) - and you have an utterly pointless device.

>>56662855
I blame 5.5in qhd display
I don't know why people make phones with such high resolutions and large displays

>>56662890
The numbers game, combined with Aplel making everyone focus on high definition screens.
On one hand, I do love that they gave the market a kick in the pants - on the other hand, the sheer amount of buzzwords attached to it just made everyone push too hard - even when they saw no gain.

>>56662805
The point of old flagships is ROM support. If you're not using customs you indeed are making a grave mistake.

>>56662932
>100% firmware problem.
Or - the phone is likely an 810 based phone, powering a QHD display - which is a proven battery to heat conversion tool, and not much more.
On top of that, the phone has likely fully cycled hundreds, if not thousands of times - the battery WILL be fucked.

On top of that, old phones don't guarantee ROM support, look at Samshit - their line are divided into dozens of different devices each year - with different chipsets in different models and in different countries.

Buying iphone won't help.

Last year my Nexus 4 dropped. Nexus 6p was too expensive and I got a MotoG 2014 1GB/8GB

Buyers remorse since month 2. Nexus 6p is still expensive

Ordered RN3P and a replacement screen for the Nexus 4

Screen change went well so I could

-keep the Nexus 4 one more year (only 8 GB), sell RN3P when it arrives. Moto G as backup phone

-use RN3P and sell MotoG. N4 as backup phone.

I can t sell N4 as the screen replacement is smaller than OEM and it's not well aligned.

Anyway I'm in the market and I have a few I'm considering.

HTC 10
>Dat audio

Note 7
>All those specs
>AMOLED
>S pen
>battery
>Might go on sale because battery explosions

S7
>Pretty much the note but smaller and without the s pen

Can any current owners of these phones let me know what they think

none desu familia. maybe the lg v20 will, but its not even out yet so who knows

Why are Huawei phones never références as chinkphones?

Is it because they are relatively more pricey ? Or because they are released in the west?
