Oh boy, I can't wait to be disappointed at noon today!

I know already that Pixel will suck and google will jew them for at least 650€ here so I am planning to upgrade to a 6p from my nexus 4 which costs 386€.

Help me decide /g/ what is the best color for the 6p?

Graphite?
Frost?
Silver?

PIXEL A SHIT

recently bought a OP3, and i love it

however, how can i make it so it only shows the most recent emails? or the last weeks worth or something?

instead of literally every email since i made the account

spraypaint it hot pink.

Got my redmeme note 3 pro today.

I had the graphite and I recommend frost.

I am thinking of frost also because there is a good deal for 64gb frost for 409€.

Is your recommendation based on purely aesthetics or any other reason? I heard that the graphite scratches easily

Graphite scratches easily, also fingerprint magnet.

Overall it's the worst color you can buy

Ok thank you. How is the 6p holding up do you think it is a good upgrade from a nexus 4 or should I switch to something more recent like s7 or op3?

I love the nexus experience desu

Gmail? You should be able to set it to only download certain number of days worth of e-mail. In the labels settings.

Also, I had an OP3, the software bugs became too much for me, on top of it not working with my car's bluetooth, it was too much for me so I sold it. I hope they fix the software problems but I don't have much faith in OnePlus's development team.

I don't give two shits about battery life or expandable storage since I always carry an external battery with me and don't need more than 64 GB storage. It's a good time we live in, fambruhghinis.

Is this photo a good quality for the Huawei P9 Lite? I can't help but feel like the photo has a 'smudged' look to it, it becomes even more apparent the closer you get.

Anyone have any recommendations for taking good photos on your phone? Admittedly I'm not the best, but I'm going on holiday soon and it'd be nice to snap some pictures with it.

Anyone with 32/3 LG G3 here? I don't feel the need to upgrade yet. I run Fulmics 6.1.

How is your phone holding up?
>>
>>56917265
xz will be released soon and should hit the US market too. So I guess you will see a pricedrop for the z5.
>>
>>56917208
z3+ is an overheating failure that should never be considered. Avoid it like the plague.
>>
>>56917432
Aight that's what I figured, I think I just might go for the z5,
>>
>>56917335
I have the 2gb version. The plastic cracked in a couple of places but other than that it's doing good, can easily last a over a day. I just wish they didn't go with the dumb faux brushed metal design and maybe went with a 1080p screen. Would be 10/10 otherwise.
>>
>>56917034
Theres not much you can do to make a bad camera take good pictures. The conditions in that picture weren't perfect, but a decent camera should be able to produce a much better (non-smudged) image in those conditions
I feel kinda bad for you because I thought about buying the P9 lite too, but went with the Xiaomi Mi5 instead. It's pretty much the same price but way better in nearly every aspect, brah
Also, was that picture taken in Germany?

Getting that TWRP stuff to work is way easier than it seems at first. I had pretty much no idea what I was doing but it turned out fine and now I'm really happy with it. Makes rooting and especially updating or switching ROMs so easy

>>56917573
Ive used twrp for years without issues on several samshit devices.

This is the first time something fucked up and I'm not sure what and how fucked it up exactly so I'm cautious for now.

I'm almost sure going from CM to miui is what fucked it up. Ive come across a few people who ended up with a RN3P that wouldn't charge after using twrp.
>>
>>56917549
The Mi5 is very difficult to buy here unfortunately. I don't mind though, the phone is a little dream in my pocket and I'm not much of a photographer anyway, it just would've been nice to take nice photos with it when I go on holiday next month.

Nope, it was taken in Ireland.

>>56917539
Yeah mine is cracked too, at the IR blaster and at the mic on the bottom. Resale value probably went to the shitter. I think I'll use this phone until it dies on me. I just can't see how today's new releases are worth it. (The OP3 maybe..) At one point I'll probably try CM and order a replacement battery.

Yea, same areas. It's also got a couple of dents from falling on the concrete a couple of times kek but nothing too serious, it's surprisingly sturdy. I'm in the same boat desu waiting to see if Pixel is worth it, if it isn't then I'll just wait till something pops up. CM is alright, battery life is better but I had some issues with my bluetooth headphones and the stock camera is ass (can't install the LG camera, sadly), so I decided to stay with Fulmics.

I came to Android from BB10 when I replaced my Z10 with a DTEK50 in early September. I know it's not a "real Blackberry", the Priv was the last of those, but I like how it's basically stock Android and gets updates quickly and regularly. Having a slightly smaller screen (5.2 inches) and MicroSD expansion is also nice. If this is the way forward for BlackBerry, it doesn't seem too bad.
>>
>>56917906
Not directly. You will have to download the OTA to phone, move to PC, delete emmc file (just in case), move back to phone, and flash from within TWRP (if you use regular TWRP, you will have to flash a modified boot.img too).

Yes, it's a PITA. if you don't _have_ to root, don't.

>The capacitive keys below the display are Recent tasks/Home/Back, left to right. The recent tasks one doubles as a context menu button and that's a bit odd in truly Material design apps, which have the three-dot menu in the top right Making things even less intuitive, the context menu and the three-dot menu often contain different options.

>Thanks to the ambiguous nature of the left capacitive key, getting to the recent tasks requires a long press, instead of a tap. Naturally, that adds an extra bit of waiting to an action you'd be doing constantly.

Wileyfox comes with Cyagenomod from the box which is nice, Moto G is more widespread which COULD mean, more ROMs more suppert maybe.

Moto G has front facing speakers, a larger and better display, and better warranty/customer service. But you void the warranty if you want to install a custom ROM, although the stock is basically stock android.

I would get the Moto g 4th gen

You niggas complaining about the price are being intentionally obtuse. This device is not a Nexus replacement. It's a new concept meant to compete directly with Apple and Samsung. It's a flagship. Not a cheap Chinese flagship, not a budget flagship, but an actual flagship tier phone. So it has a flagship price. I don't see the big deal.

Don't know about you but I don't have money to burn, I will buy one product and I will use it for as long as I can. When I am buying a phone, first on the order in that planogram is to choose what ecosystem I'm buying into.

The cost of entry to Android is much lower with excelent devices at price points of $125 that spec out any iphones, the cost of entry to ios is $399.

Anything past the point of $399 is IMO not worth spending money when you're talking about the Android platform, for a lot of reasons.

And also for a lot of reasons even spending more than $300 on a Android phone is ridiculous because of the availability of so many good devices at that price point and under. And for that reason alone, it makes the new google phone, too god damn expensive.

I think you fail to understand markets and how people buy their shit. Wheter you agree with it or not, iphone is THE phone to buy for lots of reasons, and there are lots of reasons why you wouldn't, the major one is affordability, most people who have an Android phone, have it, because that is simply what they could afford.

Having said that, the Google Pixel phone, isn't competing with Iphones. It's competing with Samsung, HTC, Xiaomi, Huawei. It's the "Surface Phone" of the Android market, in other words, its a phone for fans of the Android platform, people who call Apple costumers isheep and crapple.

For a normal consumer, they look at the price point of the Google Pixel and its exactly the same price of a iphone, or higher if they even consider the SE, and the choice is obvious, why should they invest $650 on a device they have no faith/trust in? They won't.

This isn't fucking true, why do you morons so readily spread this nonsense? You could make an iPhone $1 and I would still buy an Android. Most people I know who own iPhones bought them on fucking dumb contracts that will end up costing them $1000+ because they actually COULDN'T AFFORD to buy the damn thing up front. A lot of Android phone users do the same, but also a lot more of them buy their devices up front because they can actually manage their finances like a sensible adult.

PIXEL

Literally unlimited photo/video. And google assistant. And all the EXCLUSIVE VR videos and tours and such. If you factor those in on top of all the other neat software stuff, I think the price is FAIR, granted it lasts 2-3 years without a hitch, though Google is very generous and forgiving when it comes to RMA. Don't think I'll get it though since a non-removable battery has always been a deal breaker for me.

Why bother getting another flagship like Samsung? What's the difference? Samsung has bloat up the ass. Performance wise it won't matter. And it's more than just a phone now, given that it has relatively tons of ACTUALLY COOL AND USEFUL software. Samsung doesn't even have removable batteries and I own a fucking Note 4. Fuck that shit man. If I'm going to overpay at least I'll get the fun shit, like taking immersive VR tours, not some gook crap that blows your cock off that's locked down to the literal core.

Google Home is pretty impressive too, and at that price it seems like a fucking bargain. What's the catch (save the ineluctable "spying")?

When it comes to update speed, stability, and performance, no pajeet Indian roms can compete. Also, the Nexus 5 was the best performer when it came out, and so was the 6p. literally, no reason to believe that this won't be even better considering the Apple-like hardware/software integration.
See >>56921796
Your personal opinion on smartphone cameras here is totally rrelevant. The masses love smartphone cameras. Having the best one is undoubtedly an edge over the competition (Apple and Samsung).
>A dubious claim yet again.
7.0 Doze has the V20 performing very well. No reason to assume that the Pixel won't benefit from this feature even more so. On top of that, Google's hardware/software control will expedite all advantages, similarly to how iPhone kill Android phone even with lesser specs.
>Can all be found in cheaper phones.
But without the support from Google. This is a phone for normies. People who a just works phone. Normal people don't wanna go to XDA and fuck with their phone. You buy a One Plus 3 or some chink garbage and have at it. But anyone with money to spend and time that they value will simply a buy a Pixel, Samsung, or iPhone.

YOU ARE NOT THE FUCKING MARKET.

Just because you don't buy a phone on a contract and pay it up front doesn't mean other people do even if you consider it the "adult" thing to do. It is the adult thing to do to have savings yet over 50% of the population doesn't have $1000 cash in savings.

You don't understand how people buy their shit or how markets work. First of all this phone was launched in the USA first. It will be subsidized like any other, so we don't really know what the price point under contract will be. If we take the price without a subsidy then it is a easy comparison to make.

>This isn't fucking true, why do you morons so readily spread this nonsense? You could make an iPhone $1 and I would still buy an Android.

Because it is true, go look at the numbers of premium/flagship devices, I can't find the chart now, but there's a chart that added up Samsung, HTC and others and together they passed Apple's numbers, but you had to add them up to get past iphone units. Which means more people walk into a retail store and tell the clerk they want a iphone than they do for any one samsung device or any one htc device, you have to add them up in order to get the same numbers.

Yes Android has more of a market share, thats simply because they have cheaper offerings than ios, no other reason.

I've never seen such a fanboi. I've always bought nexus (posting from n5x). Google has gimped all the best parts. Clearly you've never used google now; it barely works.

>best performance

You're literally paying a $250 premium to be part of google's botnet services.

I want:
Good screen, 5" at biggest would be best
Good battery that I can replace
Something I can connect a PS3 controller to and play emulators on
Something I can fuck around in VR on
Not some piece of shit version of android

All for $149 or less. Suggestions? My old phone lags like a motherfucker now.

At that price for the year old 6p you'll be a cuck to NOT get a pixel.

Exactly, you're getting that same high end reliable, no hassle Google experience, but this time with a flagship phone and not a cheap Nexus. You get it. Why do you oppose the Pixel?
>>
>>56922499

Yeah, Ebay would have it cheaper in all likelihood, but getting it there means 1 Year Spec. Financing.

This is like saying "I want a cheap car, anything will do, oh yeah but I need to race it in NASCAR on Sundays"
>>
>>56922473
No, but I have history on my side in the form of the Nexus 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6p. And that was when Google was rather distant with its hardware partners. Now Google is designing the phone from the ground up and just having HTC manufacture it like Apple and Foxconn. So the hardware/software marriage will be better than before, and it was already superb. I have reason to believe that this will be the best performing smartphone ever.

Weak audio through headphones, iffy call quality, a bit too big, etc. It's a fantastic phone but it's just missing a few flagship elements that the Pixel will have.

I would like to switch from my s7 edge to the pixel cause it's the att model but it's running on T-Mobile network so I'm not getting any updates. What do?

>>56922629
if you want updates then get the pixel, there are automatic updates
if you want updates for cheaper get the 6P

Well, the Pixel is absolute dogshit in terms of price. I'm interested in Daydream VR though and the Pixel is currently the only phone that supports it.

This is a hard decision to make.

My Z2 shit the bed and im using a Moto G 2014 (3G version)

Should i fell for the Xiaomi meme?

I need a good phone with a nice camera and battery life.

3gb of ram would be nice too since Z2 was butter smooth

>>56922664
ok fine, it wont do VR but it has all the other things he asked for. 4/5 is pretty good
>>
>>56922672
There's nothing special about that chip, it's just the way that Apple uses it. The story has been similar for Qualcomm and Google. It's the way it's used. Google will nail the implementation as per usual.
>>
>>56922539
None of the phones on the market are truly waterproof. Even the IP68-certified ones can't be used underwater since lab environments don't factor in movement, chemicals, phone activity etc. They just drop a phone in standby mode into a prepared solution of pure water and work with that, which is not representative of what people actually want to use it for, which is pools, oceans etc.

Waterproofing as a feature is gimmicky since it really means that you can use your phone in the rain or drop some beverage on it without an issue, which is nice but not terribly important.
>>
>>56922691
so what you're saying is it doesn't exist?

Ayylmao, HTC is also a chink company.

It has nothing to do with being poor.
If the device justifies the price, everything is fine.

But HTC devices don't do that.
>>
>>56922563
Yeah, okay, but it's the closest thing to what he wants. it can be had for like $130 and he can replace ghe battery if he can follow kindergarten-tier instructions from ifixit
>>
>>56922680
No. the camera is shit.
>>
>>56922680
depends if it works in your area/provider
depends if you're ok with waiting a month for the chink to arrive
depends if you're ok with MIUI or whatever the fuck they use

I do agree however the real implementation of water resistance is usage in rain, dropping it in the sink or toilet, or spilling a beverage on it. no one uses their smartphone in the ocean lol

The Pixel and Pixel XL's cameras do not have optical image stabilization (OIS)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/04/pixel-pixel-xls-cameras-will-not-optical-image-stabilization-ois/

Ahahahahaha
>>
>>56923120
it uses the gyroscope you dumbass

literally better than OIS
>>
>>56923131
>, Google has "tied the camera to the gyroscope to eliminate the hand-shake "jelly" effect in video." It's not completely clear exactly what this means, but this sounds a lot like electronic image stabilization to me.

Literally not you googshit shill.
This POS is becoming worse every second.
>>
I have the feeling that the pixel is DOA because of the price. Waiting for a few months for the price to drop honestly.
>>
>>56923233
I'm sure its price will drop significantly, I can't imagine someone is buying it at that price tag.
>>
>>56917013
don't have a picture but around 2.5k hours, first time I saw someone with more lmao
>>
>>56923274
Well, even r/android is absolutely angry about the pricetag. They don't see it as justified at all and this is supposed to be a android fanboysub.
>>
>>56923274
>I can't imagine someone is buying it at that price tag.

The larger memory configurations are literally sold out already
>>
>>56923233
The price is fine. It's a flagship.

>>56923358
Without flagship features*.
>>
>>56923399
SD expansion and water proofing aren't flagship features

So, I have a Nexus 5x and a Honor 8 im about to sell since I got it cheap. What should I get instead? Or should I just keep the Honor 8?

>~600€ or lower
>As close to stock as possible
>GREAT camera, should not shit itself recording 4k
>Smaller than 5.3"
>Ability to root and flash ROMs with decent community support
>3000+ mah battery

>Minimum 32gb storage
>SD card is a plus but not a must
>Flashlight
>Nougat
>USB type C with quickcharge
>Wireless charge a plus but not a must
>Nordic frequencies

I'm tempted by the pixel but it's ugly as sin and offers little but stock rom and a allegedly great camera.

Help me /g/

>>56923922
>~600€ or lower

Pixel. Also that's flagship/mid-high end territory
>Smaller than 5.3"
Pixel
>Ability to root and flash ROMs with decent community support
Not a lot of the chink shit. Also Pixel
>3000+ mah battery
Depends on the implementation, which Pixel will definitely get right. Lots of chinkphones. Bit of a non-issue in that regard.
>Front facing speakers
Not sure.
>At LEAST 4gb RAM
Implementation
>Minimum 32gb storage
Pixel. Lots of base models.
>SD card is a plus but not a must

>Flashlight
Pixel/most/all phones

Pixel
>USB type C with quickcharge
Pixel
>Wireless charge a plus but not a must
Pixel
>Nordic frequencies
Pixel
>>
>>56924162
Man, I really didn't want things broken down like that when it pushes for something I don't feel right with.

I guess I'll have to whack a guy over his head and take his pixel. I can afford it but it's a lot of money for incremental updates.
>>
>>56921937
I bought a Huawei p8, everything is working fine, the phone is sexy, sexier than the pixel even.

I'm not even sure i want to upgrade.
>>
Allright, 5x or 6p???

I have a net preference for the 5x design and size, just not sure about performance compared to the 6p.

For those who tried both, is it à slight difference, or a big one?

Or should I get an op3?
>>
>>56922294
But what's the point in 6gb ram? It's not needed, 2 or 3 are more than enough.
>>
>>56922294
I hesitate between 5x and 6p.

What do u think about the 5x?
>>
Sup /g/uys. Anybody have any advice on phones with security in mind? Im in the market for a new phone as I have reason to believe mine is tapped after being in custody of a federal investigative agency.

I use Sprint in the US and while I would prefer to use an Android phone, I'd be open to something else if a compelling arguement can be provided.
>>
>>56925317
If ur REALLY concerned about sécurité, take a dumbphone, a 3310 for a handful of dollars.

Or take a chinkphone, chinks will be spying on u but who cares?
>>
>no more nexus 5x
>no more opx

no phone for me then I guess.
>>
>>56925628
Well keep the 5x.

I might buy 1 since it's still an excellent phone.
