What do now?

Was hoping for the Pixel to be good so I could buy that but I'd rather kill myself.

>>56923464
OP3, 6p, or Axon 7

The 128GB versions of the PixelXL are already at a 6-7 week ship time.

So someone is buying them.

>>56923492
Or they only have a hundred of them

>>56923492
or google just didn't make that many of them.

Are non-Snapdragon CPUs really that shit compared to Snapdragon CPUs? Should I literally not even consider anything else?

>>56923614
What else do we have? Chink mediateks with shit GPUs and much cores and Samsung exynoses that aren't widely used

how good is it?

Trying to rationalize the chin on the Pixel. Maybe it's for holding the phone in landscape? Idk

Of it doesn't have a landscape keyboard it's just another slab exactly like all the other shit slabs with minor spec deviation.

They're all shit and all the same.

>>56923853

Nobody's answered because your question is retarded.

OIS and the gyroscope are different things. You can't attach one to the other.

>>56923963
Even a logo looks better on the front than a big blank space.

For those of you with a OP3 what do you think of it? Once I get a job and break with my iphone 6 I wanted to migrate to something with expandable storage, but with OP3 lacking that is it still worth it?

>>56924003
that pic is fake. Doesn't have bezels that thick

Is it easy to put the latest CM on Redmi Note 3 Pro?

>>56924040
one month from now I guess. There is still that chinese holiday so I can see them for sale mid october or beginning of november.

Mi5s is almost identical to the pixel, a shame for the ROM desu.

>>56924077
Pixlel uses some kind of software stabilization with gyroscope instead of OIS.

>>56924077
>OIS and the gyroscope are different things

Wow. How enlightening.

That's why I asked what the difference is because the pixel is using the gyroscope to stabilize, not OSI.

>>56924126
Mi5s doesn't look ugly as shit like the pixel does.

>>56924137
Electronic image stabilization is a cludge. Crops the field of view to allow for the image to move around a bit in the frame and stabilize bazed on information from the gyros. Not as good as optical image stabilization

>>56924178
Because it's made by Google™ and you can only experience pure Android™ by buying the newest line of the Google™ Pixel® phones anon i am going to buy not 1 but both of them you should too anon! :)

Hey guys, candafag here again.

Just to recap: I bought the 5x at about $450 but then decided to sell it for ~$300 because it was just too much phone for me. I wanted to buy something similar to the 5x with my remaining money and was thinking about the OP2 but there were some things the 5x offered that the OP2 did not. So I've been operating without a smartphone for the last 4 months trying to figure out what I should buy instead.

Needs:
Under 5.5"
Great camera
Good battery life
Under $300 (in Canada)

Performance doesn't really matter to me, which is why I sold the 5x and took the $150 loss instead of using a phone that had too much power.

I was thinking maybe buying the 5x again and just having extra power but it looks like prices have gone up today. So are there any other phones that are similar to the 5x but with less power for cheaper?

>>56924208
that's true I guess. and it has capacitive buttons.

I hope for good rom support. Might get one if it gets cm or pa or rr.

Is the RN3P still worth buying or are they releasing something new soon

>>56923655
I'm buying the lite version, but only because I can get it for €70. EMUI is shit :(

>>56924211

Also can't stabilize photos

>>56924229
Don't forget to buy Google WiFi®™ and Google Home®™ so you can get true Google Botnet®™ experience

>>56924048
Good suggestions. Just a bit mad Mi5s wants you to get 128gb storage to get 4gb RAM. I mean what the fuck?

>>56924048
>>56924150
I'm the one that asked. I loved the looks on the Honor 8 and it seems fast but the camera appears worse than on my Nexus 5x. I didn't use it much as I figured I wanted to sell it. First thing I did was putting a glass protector and transparent cover on it. It will most likely scratch like a motherfucker otherwise. My 5x I feel is a bit underpowered and likes to lag a bit when doing just a little more than one thing or switching between apps. Ram usage is 1.8gb or more pretty much always so I want something a bit more..powerful.

The pixel fits my needs nicely but I just don't like how it looks. Maybe I'll just have to get over it.

>>56924295
what do you really need 4gb of ram for? 3 are enough imo (still using my smartphone with 2gb ram desu)

>>56924334
games or media editing software in general will always be constrained by memory, so it's a safe bet

I've been digging through reviews and comparisons of the 6P and OP3 all afternoon (for a while now really) and to me it seems like the OP3 is the way to go but yet all of them seem to indicate that the 6P is possibly equal to or slightly better than the OP3
I don't get it
the OP3 looks to have a better camera (judging by image comparisons) some reviews indicated that the OP3 battery is better and others the 6P, performance wise the OP3 seems better

at this point, the slightly modded Android on the OP3 and possible delay in updates doesn't bother me that much
I want a phone with:
>good battery life (coming from a N5)
>minimal / base Android UI
>good camera
>decent display
>good hardware / feel
>not a huge screen (though I'll deal with the 6P if it's truly the best thing to get)

I'm seeing a 6P "International Version w/ no warranty" on amazon for $399, not sure if I should get that over a "standard" one for $449
or just execute this order for a OP3

HELP

>>56923906
Gold is a manly colour, faggle

>>56924334
3gb would suffice...right now. As I said, RAM usage is at 1.8gb or more on my 5x as we speak.

I can't say if that's intentional or not as I can imagine it using as much RAM as possible to keep loading things snappy and releasing it as demand increases. I just know demanding tasks like 4k video makes it crash, freeze and fuck up.

>>56924367
okay, I don't game so that doesn't really concern me and I can live with 3gb. But if you do that kind of stuff on your phone wouldn't be 128gb be better anyway? It doesn't have a msd slot, keep that in mind.

Pixel vs S7, help me pick lads. Stuck with verizon.

I'd say s7. With it comes root, the best hardware, and features.

With pixel, you're almost guaranteed to be locked down. No root or bootloader. Worse hardware. At best, you'll get nougat first, but it's barely an improvement anyway.

Why would anyone get pixel vs htc 10? Purely specs based, htc seems to have the edge

>>56924615
because only retards go by pure specs

this is the difference between buying a business laptop for $800 versus buying a consumer shit laptop for $500 that has the 'same specs'

>>56924641
In that case why would anyone get the 10? Is htc that shit nowadays?

>>56924295
isn't the 128gb version still cheap? i'm looking for its prices but i can't find them anywhere (i suck at finding chinkstuff :d).

I'm kind of in a situation where i need a pretty known (even nexuses are considered not famous where i live) brand for a phone due to the lack of accessories and repairments are prolly unexistant and shipping is very hard if something happens so i'm really paranoid about most phones (even though my last devices lasted years without getting slightly damaged) and i really don't want a samsung\apple any recs?

>850MHz & 1900MHz band
At least they all have Quad Band GSM so i won't buy a lemon (Redmi 2 years back), but i need assistance in finding budget phones that work on 3G in Canada.

I'm just going to give up on finding one that supports 4G.
>(Band 12/17 (700Mhz), Band 13 (700Mhz), Band 4 (1700/2100Mhz) & Band 7 (2500/2600Mhz), for those interested)

Maybe i'll have to make a list of new and upcoming phones that work in Canada myself afterwards to help out canadian chinkphone fans.

I bought my 5x 16g in august for 200. I lovit except for the missing sd card slot. I take lots of video of my puppers (especially slo mo) and have to unload it all to my laptop about once a month. Wish I had seen the $250 32g deal. Otherwise it's a really great deal.

>you actually believed that google would actually put a microsd card slot since April

I mean there really isn't an excuse anymore, for their own damn company. If it's for security do they really not trust their OS that much?

HTC 10 has a MicroSD card slot, similarly priced
Galaxy S7 has MicroSD card slot, similarly priced
LG V20 has MicroSD card slot, similarly priced

Xperia, LG G5, OnePlus 3, etc all cheaper and have this fucking feature

They have zero excuse for this, and whoever here is saying "OH BUT IT DOES HAVE ONE!"

It uses image stabilization using the VR level gyroscopes built in, as far as i can tell

combined with the ability to let Google Cloud video processing stabilize video for you

What's a good phone to upgrade to from the One M8? I've had this bad boy for a few years and I want to upgrade. Too bad the pixel announcement was shit.

Some stuff that's important to me:
> MicroSD slot
> Band 2/4/12 LTE support (I'm on T-Mobile)
> Good battery life
> Ability to root/install Xposed

I was thinking OnePlus 3 or HTC 10, any opinions?

Is Project Fi a meme?
$30 base + $10 per GB sounds so awful when you consider that there's millions of providers out there that give you unlimited on pretty much everything for just $~60.

Is there something to Project Fi I'm missing?

>>56925909
No way is that as good as hardware stabilization.

There's no excuse for this price tag.

>>56925958
Yeah, it's absurd how they're trying to make a flagship level device, outprice them and then all have some kind of drawbacks like water protection, actual OIS, SD card

>>56925924
It's 20$ base and you get credited for unused data, so if you only used 1gb of data you'll get 9$ towards next month

Seriously what the FUCK is Google doing? This is a fucking huge disappointment, I expected 700, 750 MAX for 128gb 5.5 inch not fucking 850.

If it had no drawbacks, I'd pay that, but it doesn't.

Guess we'll wait and see when the reviewers get a hold of them. The screen and camera better be god tier, minus OIS of course. An inexcusable omission.

Does Verizon pay off cancelation fee slike T-mobile does?

Finally got a new phone after 4 years.
I got a PRIV because of the price drop and an additional 18% discount from work.
Did I fuck up, /g/?

>>56926129
So let's say I have a $400 budget and I want a non-chink smartphone with good community support. My only options are Nexus 5X and Moto G4 or am I missing something?

Any more recs?

Any phones in the 200$ price range? Im in Mexico and the prices are plain shit.

>Previous phone: Moto g 2013

What i want in a phone:

>Good battery life
>Good development support
>Micro SD slot
>5" screen or less

Should ill just buy the redmi 3s and wait for support?

>>56923435
I bought a black normal sized 32GB Google Pixel phone from Google Store, how badly did I fuck up /g/? Personally I don't care because if it's made by Google it is good period

>>56926173
Why not get op3?

It has more community support than any I bet.

Coming from a Nexus 5, I don't mind the bottom bezel. It may not look nice, but it doesn't look bad either. Bland, uncreative, boring, mundane design desu. Just like my Nexus 5. Seeing how fucking fast it is, the supposed best smartphone camera ever, and instant security updates and OS updates, here's my next phone. Hopefully, Google stops Verizon from fucking it up.

Given same price, mi5s or OnePlus 3?

>>56924469
Tea is also manly, faggle

Nexus 4 owner here and I'm really considering finally upgrading.

Gonna wait for reviews first though.

>>56924411
more storage space is always good, but ram in particular so you don't constantly have to reallocate and move from disk

>>56926318
why not spend 1/3 the money and get a N5x? What makes this worth $650?

>>56926333
Not him, but better camera, faster, longer support, better battery life.

>>56926333
Oh, and superior screen (AMOLED) and build quality comparable to iPhone and HTC 10

>>56926362
all of those things are tiny marginal improvements, certainly not worth paying 3 times as much money

Holy fuck all I want is to root my RN3P but every fucking guide uses different methods, different versions of TWRP which all have different bugs and features and all those fucking global, dev, stable version numbers are a clusterfuck.

I just want to fucking root so I can use titaniumbackup and xposed is that too much to ask?

Whats up with next-gen phone availability? Want an iPhone 7? 3+ weeks. Want a pixel? 2+ weeks.

Is there a worldwide component shortage?

>>56926557
Op3 is five weeks apparently too

>>56926527
Cofface or alka? I don't want to have to fucking modify roms every time I flash something.

The way you describe it is how it's been with every device ive ever owned. This one seems like a fucking minefield.

>>56926382
To me, it's all worth it. It hits every checkbox for me.

-Fast, consistent, reliable performance (why S7 wasn't considered
-Just werks (why I was considering a 6s and 6p, I don't like playing with custom ROMs)
-frequent security updates and OS updates straight from os developer, uninterrupted by the carrier
-AMOLED display
-at least 4.5 hours SOT with at least 18 hours standby (say I leave at 7 and get back home late)
-good camera
-solid construction/feel in the hand, got a little annoyed with the plastic, cheap construction of my Nexus five after handling a friends 6p

Now I was going to get a V20 because I like turning up the volume when I listen to music. And I ight still actually. Waiting for reviews of both phones. If the Pixel has at least average sound quality, I'll get it.

>>56926581

I just ordered one earlier after the pixel was confirmed DOA and it said up to 3 weeks
some other anon said they had ordered one yesterday and got it today.. not sure whether to believe that

>>56924993
This made me consider the Redmi 3 Pro as my first smartphone (still have an old flipphone). Then I found out that it doesn't have Android 6.0, then I found out about CyanogenMod.

How good is Cyanogenmod, compared to preinstalled firmware?
Is it just a solution to get some new features on devices that have discontinued updates, or do you always want it, like rockbox on many MP4 players?

http://www.theverge.com/a/google-pixel-phone-new-hardware-interview-2016

some good insight on the pixel. Surprising to see Verge do a feature on a non-apple phone. wonder if google paid them

Best phone on the market for guaranteed updates for 2 - 3 years without slowdown, and isn't the steaming pile of crap called Pixel or Samsung.

>>56926716
it's better than some stock firmware, it's worse than others (nexus)

It's also a good way to escape the botnet if you are into that sort of thing

I would stick to phones that have official support, otherwise it can be hit or miss

For what I need in a phone, the Oneplus 2 seems like the right fit and people seem pretty happy with it.

Should I shill another 100 bucks for the OP3 or am I best off getting the OP2?

I just need a phone for texting, podcasts, fapping on mobile, and shitposting.

>>56926714
That anon was in the UK I think.


I'm so tired of my 6+ fuck. Maybe I'll just get axon 7 but the software looks shit.

>>56926748
>I just need a phone for texting, podcasts, fapping on mobile, and shitposting.
Anon, a $50 phone can do all that.

>>56926778

me too thanks

>>56926193
What's an OP3?

>>56926792
One plus 3.

Seems to me like the best all around phone out right now. No sd card sucks tho

>>56926813
The Pixel is better. So is the HTC 10, LG V20, iPhone 7, and S7

>>56926832
yes, but all of those phones you listed are $250+ more than the OP3

in terms of a mid range phone (though the OP3 has great specs) that isn't shitted up by crapware, OP3 seems to be the winner

>>56926832
For the price though. No?

>>56926864
the honor 8 is also a good mid ranger, which looks a little better than the OP3.

>>56926832
>the pixel is better

Marginally and look at the fucking price. If you want a 5.5 inch pixel with only 32gb of storage you'll spend 750 dollars, nearly twice as much as the op3.

I'd rather get a op3, axon 7 or something and then be able to upgrade again sooner rather than blow loads of money on this pixel that's releasing late in this gen phone cycle with a barely better processor than phones that came out in the beginning of the year.

>>56926748
a OPX might be a better phone 4u m8 <3

>>56926792
A chinkphone with an antiquated, jaggy display and zero after sales support.

Also the honor is fucking tiny

>muh price
Enjoy your pentile display and shitty call quality .
>>56926886
Nah, the Pixel kills it in fluidity, stability, performance, camera, and support.

>>56926902
Does the display actually look shit? I've heard it's not bad but in some ways I'm thinking the axon might be better.

I just wish the axon had the same software and dev support, ease of root etc. like the op3.

It's a dealbreaker if you're used to the display on phones made in the last ten years.

>>56926921
>kills it in fluidity

The phones not even out yet shillboi calm your horses. It PROBABLY will be better though, but I bet it won't be very noticeable.

>support

I don't get this meme. Unless you pay 99 dollars you aren't getting shit for support with the pixel anyway.

>stability

How could you possibly know this?

I'll give you camera, although it's absurd that the pixel has no OIS.

Also remember the price differences here.

If you buy a chink phone, you better be willing to spend time on maintenance. They have an exceptionally weak JUST WORK factor.

didn't get any response in other thread

I don't want a phone that is either larger than 5" or uses iOS. I want a phone that will get support for a few years and has decent specs and a nice camera. My current phone is broken and I need a new one somewhat soon at the very least. With the 24month plan it seems alright.

Do I have any other option than the Pixel?

>>56926178
you just bought a HTC 10 for $150 more which has a lower res screen and no micro SD slot.

>>56926945
Ew

>>56926950
I'm used to my iPhone 6+

Which despite being IPS (tend to prefer amoled) it's very accurate and good looking, also bright. 1080p is enough for IPS IMO since you don't have pentile like the op3.

I guess the axon 7 might be a little better than my iPhone though?

>>56926969
Axon 7 has poor wifi and cellular signal performance.

>>56926954
I've seen hands-on videos. It hasn't dropped a single frame in UI operations. Which is something that can only be said for very few phones. OP3 not being one of them.

>Unless you pay 99 dollars you aren't getting shit for support with the pixel anyway.
By that, I mean updates. Monthly security patches are becoming more and more important. Even Samsung takes it seriously now.

>How could you possibly know this?
I don't, but seeing as how Nexus phones were always the most stable Android phones, I have reason to believe that this will be no different.

>>56926988
I have heard some reports of that.

I would order one today if it had op3 software and I wasn't worried about connection.

All phones this year seem pretty shit. With android you ether get good software and meh hardware or good hardware and meh software.

>>56923733
Protip nigga, maximize profits > how cool the phone is

After Im done having fun and finish PCSing, im gonna pull the trigger on the pixel.

Meh.

I just dropped $900 on preordering the 128 GB Pixel (5 inch since I prefer smaller smart phones) with a device protection plan and expedited shipping. AMA

>>56926990
with samsung taking the updates seriously has got me considering a GS8 when it comes out, as this year has just be a complete disappointment with all phones.

>>56926990
I haven't heard the op3 dropping frames in the UI, also the only hands on videos are sterile shits from people who get lucky first hands on, too early to say for sure.

Although I do expect that to be the case, as it should be for the price they're asking and it being Google.

>monthly security patches

Pretty sure the op3 gets monthly security patches as well and pretty consistent updates.

>>56927003
That's why I went with a discounted 6p. That will do until the offerings hopefully improve in the next 12-18 months.

>>56927032
sounds like a decent move to me. I'm tired of holding onto phones for well over 2 years anyway, I had my 4s so fucking long.

>>56927021
is the normal Pixel closer to the size of the Nexus 5x or the 6p or is the Pixel XL closer?

I have the 6p currently and The size is great for me, I don't want anything larger.

>Fell asleep in the bathtub with my Oneplus 3 lying a foot away from me, while it was running a PSP emulator so it was really hot
>Woke up an hour later, half the screen was blue
>Sent it off to the repair center and got it back today, full coverage in the warranty, even while I'm running an unlocked bootloader and custom ROM, because according to them it was a "faulty component"

Name one company that's more based than Oneplus. Hope you enjoy getting cucked by your phone manufacturer because you dare taking control over your phone by unlocking the bootloader

>>56927057
Normal Pixel is closer to the size of the 5x, slightly smaller. Pixel XL is closer to the 6P except more reasonably smaller.

>>56927026
It gets laggy when scrolling down twitter or a web pages.

didn't know that though, that's cool of one plus. see though they getting important.

what rumors are there for the GS8 so far?

>>56927086

Oh sweet then, I always felt like the 6p was a bit large lol.

but didnt want to get a 5x

Thanks senpai, the reviews for the Pixel look dank

>>56927110
I haven't heard anyone ever talk about lag and the op3, everytime I hear it mentioned or reviewed everyone says it's super smooth, one of the fastest and smoothest phones out there.

Could be the Twitter app, but I doubt it for web pages.

I want a phone with the best battery life I can use on Verizon. Is the oukitel k10000 the phone for me?

>>56927073
I utilized their warranty service during the OP1 era and it was an absolutely nightmare. Phone shipped overseas for repairs, took weeks, ended up having to fucking pay customs $70 to get the phone back. Glad to hear they got their shit together.

Just ordered the Black Pixel XL with a Fi simcard. Not sure if I wanna switch or not. I have Verizon currently so could I still use the Pixel on my Verizon plan for now until I decide to switch? The Pixel comes unlocked if you buy it from the Google store right?

Air Force, wondered if there were any other mil on /g/.

I want to switch to project Fi to save money.

the reasonable thing to do would be to buy a 5X.

Alright sweet. I'm on a college campus so I have WiFi connection like 80% of the time so it would be nice to switch to Fi because my bill would be close to 60% less which in the long run makes the insane price worth it.

Who else feels physically sick looking at the pixel?

Fuck the Pixel, Huawei Mate 9 here I cum

Can anyone talk me out of an OnePlus 3?
I want something with good support and as close to vanilla android as possible.

I am this guy: >>56927190

I am gonna save like 60% compared to my Verizon bill and within a year or so I'll save so fucking much which makes the high cost worth it to me. No sense in paying a shit ton of money per month for a service if you're on WiFi like 90% of the time like I am on a college campus or at your workplace.

>>56927314
>>56927301
Definitely worth it if you have consistent WiFi. The last straw for me was because my job has me traveling often to these middle of no where spots where WiFi coverage isn't guaranteed. Needed something more reliable.

If I was on a campus or in the heart of the city the majority of my time, I'd switch back.

>>56927406
Oh true, that could be a major issue.

Really need some purchasing advice...

I'm waiting until Black Friday and Cyber Monday for phone prices to drop but I will definitely be getting a new phone after 3 comfy years with my Nexus 5.

Currently I'm torn between the HTC 10, Nexus 6P, and OnePlus 3.

My budget is negotiable but I'd be more comfortable spending around the $400 price range, but will go around $700 if need be.

I need a phone that is pretty much just a Nexus 5 but beefier (better battery, better chipset, better performance) and with a decent display, preferrably AMOLED. Front facing speakers and a decent camera are all good pluses to me but aren't a dealbreaker. I also need a phone that has decent community support and can be unlocked right out of the box (which means no Samshit crap).

I don't do much with my phone other than text, make calls, listen to music, and browse the internet, but I DO frequently play Ingress which is a very battery-heavy game.

I pre-ordered the Pxel regular as a replacement to my 5X. To be honest, I was not a fan of the phone. It's a very middle of the road phone, and if you're only looking to listen to music, then I guess it'll work for you.

To give you an idea on the camera, this was shot with my 5X in panoramic view and HDR+. Here's hoping Pixel's camera is just as awesome as they say.

>>56927452
according to reviews its even better now. I'm hype.

>>56927450
Forgot to mention I'm in the US on T-Mobile.

>>56927400
Get the Pixel. I have a Moto X 2nd gen and I used to think I didn't care about the camera but the camera on my Moto X is fucking hot garbage compared to other phones out there and I never really noticed until I used other peoples phones.

I really wanted a nice camera for my next big phone purchase and the Pixel was the logical choice for me.

>>56927452

We got my Wife a 5X a few months ago after she broke her old phone and I find nothing wrong with it.

The tech geek in me feels so wrong about buying a one year old phone that was outdated when it came out, especially when the camera on the Pixel is supposedly the best shit ever.

>>56927493
Mine has been chugging along pretty slowly, but it also has more mileage so I take it as just an affirmation that buying the Pixel is the right move.

I'm pretty stoked, I loved the size of the 5X and am glad there's a similarly sized Pixel for sale.

That's probably because you live in the US. In Europe the law is pretty clear about warranties.

Like you need more than 100mb/s r/w speed in any scenario.

>>56924134
Gyroscope could just detect how shaky is the phone, and adjusts shutter speed accordingly to reduce blur, at the same time you lose low light capabilities
Sony did this like a decade ago with "Digital Steadycam", other manufacturers too calling it digital stabilization and/or hybrid stabilization
With OIS you can get longer shutter speeds with less blur from movement
I'm pretty sure every phone has been doing what the Pixel is claiming for years, using the accelerometer
Though the Pixel could be doing extra processing using data from the gyroscope, like the reduce blur filer in Photoshop that uses deconvolution to hopefully remove the blur of the image, ie. it mathematically does the contrary to what movement from blur does, it kind of works
>>56924211
You don't need a gyroscope to do that, and iirc the Nexus 4 already did that

>>56927403
I'm talking about community support, like custom ROMs, Cyanogenmod and stuff.
But thanks for the input anyway.

>>56923852
Black white and gray are pretty much gender neutral. It's when you get a gold or "rose gold" (read: pink) phone that you start to look like a homosexual.
Standard gold generally makes you look like the trashier kind of gay, though. It makes you look like your sugar daddy bought it for you. Rose gold makes you look like you're still gay, but you don't need no man.

>>56927679
Compare a phone with NVMe storage (iPhone 6s) to one which does not (Nexus 6p) and you will see the clear advantage

>>56925958
OIS would be nice but supposedly it was ranked very high by dxo

>>56925023
Redmi 3S was launched in July or June, it has a newer SoC than the other Redmi 3's
>>56926716
It's weird that the Redmi 3 doesn't have Android 6 while the 3S has it, they're almost the same phone
>>56926175
>Should ill just buy the redmi 3s and wait for support?
Yes, or you could get the Redmi 3 Pro that already has official CM support, or a Mi4
There's literally nothing good budget wise in any carrier in Mexico

>>56927720
Yeah I too like to look at fancy lag hiding animations. Compare the HTC 10 with the iPhone 6s in daily tasks. Even fagbook loads faster on the 10.
I don't care about the storage speed benchmarks mate. Loading covers of the gallery doesn't need more than like 20mb/s.
btw Samshit's phones lag behind in these daily tasks test bc of their tons of useless features aka bloat.

>>56927692
Oneplus phones have by far the best custom ROM support out of every manufacturer outside of Nexus phones, and you won't void the warranty if you unlock the bootloader or fuck up your phone when flashing a custom ROM or anything like that.

>>56927781
You're mistaken. It's Android phones that rely on big paper numbers, but falter in real world usage. The iPhone 6s is faster than any Android phone. We'll have to see how the Pixel fares however.

>>56927951
Kay believe what you want idfc.

>>56927951
The 820 is already a old SoC, it's absolutely raped by the A10
The 821 is still raped by the A10 but it's slightly faster than the 820

>>56927983
So I should get an iPhone 7?

>>56924095
I switched from a 6s and I love it ( 6s has better camera but not that much), best phone I've ever owned, still some minor annoyances from Android here and there but much better than the shit that is iOS 10.

>>56927995
If you want the fastest Snapchat/Facebook mobile device, yes

>>56925958
dude that stabilization is amazing and works even better than OIS. I worked with that shit over the summer because I was interning in the camera team...

>>56927995
If you want to buy into the overpriced Apple ecosystem - yes.
If you want special for your needs and hardware you already own optimised setups - no.

ITS HERE AND I JUST RAN OUT OF RETURN WARRANTY FOR MY OP3

>>56924095
>My thoughts on the OP3 and Pixel about 2 weeks or so ago. Was I wrong?

As for the OP3, I only had two weeks I think with it (that was the return policy stretch).
It was the fastest, 'coolest' device temp-wise, and longest lasting phone I've had. Then again, I've only owned the 5/5x previously. I loved Oxygen OS. I only ever had the Nexus' and Oxy OS felt like a ROM-- cool gestures, tweaks, music control, etc. It was almost like PureNexus ROM in a way.
The charging was beautiful, which I've missed. I'm pretty good with carrying my wall adapter/cable with me for any device so now that this device charged 60% in 30 minutes AND the OP3 stayed cool, was amazing. This allows me to save money on buying an external battery too. The SOT was about 5-6, maybe 5 if I played Pokemon a lot.

The price in Canada is $519 and if I'm comparing it to the $499 5x (as of now in Canada from the Google Store), these devices are on par in the market. Go for the OP3 if you need to choose.

As for the Pixel, no idea what that is going to be like but I'm 99% confident it'll either be too expensive or just too good of a phone. As exampled from my 5x review, I don't do much. I just want a reliable phone that'll last me.

Think I'll get the Pixel. Do you guys think it matters to wait for the general public to get their hands on it first or should I preorder it?

I'm kinda thinking along the lines of shit people find out about these phones like a week after they get them. like explodng batteries and that kinda shit, you must know what I mean.

>Best screen
>One of the best cameras
>Waterproof
>Latest processor
>Long lasting battery
>MicroSD card slot
>Nice design
>Neat stylus

The Note 7 is almost perfect except for it exploding (which should be fixed soon), the price and touchjizz. I'd argue that this phone is definitely worth the price when you consider all the advantages it has over other phones. Only thing is I've never been a fan of touchjizz and I feel like it always acts up once I root.

Pre-order bro, you get that cozy ass Daydream VR headset for free.

>>56928151
The only way you'll find out if a phone is absolutely shit is if you wait at least a month for reviewers to find problems. Good fucking luck. Just buy it and test it yourself and return it if it's garbage.

Should I still get a new Nexus 5x?

Other providers do not give you unlimited data. They give you "unlimited data", which slows to shit/overcharges you after the cap. Sprint is the only one with actually unlimited data.

Fi is actually pretty sweet. Uses both T-mobile and Sprint, automatically switches to which carrier has the strongest LTE signal.

You automatically get international roaming through T-Mobile, which is not capped to 128kbps like T-Mobile plans.

You get free data sim cards connected to your account. They use T-mobile(for device support) and use data at the $10/GB price. But you can put them into anything and the cards are free.

Fi automatically connects to open WiFi networks and secures the connection with a VPN.

I was worried about the high data price at first, but I'm on WiFi everywhere now. Placed I didn't even know had open WiFi. It's nice not paying for data that you don't use.

You get bands 2(1900mhz)/4(1700&2100mhz)/12(700mhz)/25(1900mhz)/26(800mhz)/41(2500mhz)

Plus it less you roam on ATT and Verizon in areas with roaming agreements.

I can't tell if its touchwiz carrying the cancer or because I've rooted the phone but every time I get a Samsung phone it starts out nice and smooth and slowly catches aids and becomes unusable.

Going to googlefi and im thinking of getting the pixel, how hard am i being brainwashed right now?

Literally almost every phone out now how some form of aids I literally can't win.

Note 7 touchjizz
Pixel XL expensive for no reason
OP3 ugly display
Axon 7 ugly rom and no support will probably last 1 year
HTC 10 just mediocre in every respect (least cancer I guess)
V20 ugly bootloop shit rom
Nexus 6P hard to find for a decent price (UK)

i'm gay and i own a black phone, what is that supposed to say about me then?

all my apple bros, do you know a website where i can get a 16 gb se unlocked for 290 dollars

Thinking about getting a LG Enact

The list of apps I use on my phone is fairly small. Fitbit, snapchat, google maps, and uber. think they'll all run on it?

Am I going to have serious buyers remorse if I get this? Does anybody have a better option?

Is Google's 24 month plan only available in the US? I don't see it as an option in Canada, is the only option to pay the $900 up front?

Mini review of 5x

Pros:
>still the cheapest bang for your buck outright phone in Canada
>camera and bloat free Android is great
>constant Google updates fix """"problems"""" monthly
>good phone size for one handed use
>videos and text look great
>charging is good / 1-2 hours full 100% if you DON'T use the phone while charging
>upon fresh reboot, phone is the fastest device I've ever held
If rooted:
>easy to root / Pure Nexus ROM + Ex Kernel made my device faster and last longer battery wise
>no reboots necessary, always runs great

Cons:
>overpriced in Canada. Find a friend in the US to buy it for you. I made the mistake to buy it full price at $499, 32GB
>battery does 4hrs SOT tops, with no extensive apps like Pokémon GO or Snapchat
>gets hot as fuck. Slows down if it gets passed 45 degrees C.
>heat will destroy your battery, will not let the phone charge if you've pushed the 5x too much
>plastic build makes it feel cheap as hell Again, get this for the ~$250 US price tag to justify
If rooted:
>battery is still 4hrs SOT
>phone stays WAY cooler, not as many heat issues but Pokémon still kills it

tl;dr I liked it, esp coming from the 5 and didn't want to cash out $700. If in Canada, do NOT buy full retail price from the Google Canada Store. Go for a Newegg or some type of reputable retailer that will sell it to you for the US prices.
I ended up selling it for a decent $450.

Tl;dr
For $200usd sure

Curse my indecisiveness.
I suppose it's better to let the hype die down and get some reviewer opinions first.

Any good 2.5 screen phones?

Preferably something around $200-300

What's the next upgrade from Redmi Note 3 Pro in terms of price:performance?

>>56928127
I wanna get one but 6gb ram makes me cringe a little.

>>56928573
This is where I'm at basically.

>>56928573
Same situation here. Everything has some terminal (or at least moderately crippling) disease. I was so desperately hoping that the leaks would be wrong about the Pixel prices - now I don't know what to do.

Is the OP3's display really that bad? Aren't you going to get used to it anyway?

>>56929260
If my Nexus 5 didn't have mediocre battery life, I would probably still be using it 3 years from now.

>>56929246
Why

>>56929440
is it really better than 3/4gb?

Will an international RN3P Gray version ever be available?

>>56929318
>>56929323
For my part, I would have probably stuck with my S5 until next year in the hope of better choices, but the screen's adhesive is failing (the whole left edge is raised at this point). I'm afraid I'm going to have to pick my preferred flavour of necrotizing bacterium sooner rather than later.

just a quick question on ebay best buy is offering a phone i want on sale for 269 dollars, can i trust this at all since best buy is a trusted retailer.

fuck, I was hoping the Pixel would be a lot better. Now I just don't know what to get

iPhone 6s.

>>56929947
what if i don't want an iphone

are smartphones supposed to get warm

i have an LG G4 and I'm worried that the warm running temperatures on it will eventually lead to that bootloop brick

Honestly I really like my G4. The leatherback is more gorgeous than I thought based on the dummy store model, but i hate living in fear of the bootloop.

>>56929456
Well it's on par with 4gb phones.
Its really just a meme but at least you know it'll perform multitasking well.

>>56930054
i mean it depends on how many processes your using, or how many things are hitting your lock screen. Or you may have a virus and have to factory reset

Hey /spg/, phoneposter here. I have a Galaxy s5. This is my first smartphone that I truly enjoy and I want to be able to make use of it for as long as possible. How do I go about preserving the longevity of the device? I dont mean physical longevity either, I mean the phone's speed and such.

Also, what are some cool things I can do with my phone? I know that the Android OS is alot more versatile tha. IOS, which is what I switched from. I'm downloading 6.0 marshmallow at the moment if that is relevant at all.

What is the best small phone? SE or Xperia X compact?
