Honestly I was very conflicted here.
I couldn't find enough qoL improvements for the Pro3. Essentially only the beefier processor in it makes a difference but I dont play games on my phone anyways so it wouldn't make a difference to me.

If the Pro3 has any awesome improvements over the s3 that would warrant me dropping 2x as much I would be happy to entertain them.

The moto X pure is on sale for $250. Does that make it a better purchase than the 32gb Moto G4?
>>
>>57346439
Is the 32GB G4 $250 or less? I only see the 16 GB for that. Better processor (with caveats) on the x pure. Plus micro USB, not usb-c. Tough call. Better dev community for the pure, but the G4 is popular and will have legs.

>>57346439
yes

>>57345968
Mm, better camera and bigger battery I guess. also maybe future ROM support? right now there's non but I assume there will be something because most people will prefer stock to Chinese UI's.

May be reliable but it's still shit. It's shit compared to a desktop with an A8 APU.

You really should make one again. You can make an A8 APU build for like $260.

Anyway after you do that I'd recommend you get an LG G3, it's still $200 on amazon.

I honestly can't find a better deal for $200 or less without resorting to chinkshit which will die on you in a few weeks like it did on me (I'm an ex redmi note 3 owner).

I'm ignorant. So what are the benefits of boost? Granted I am paying 35 at the moment because I'm cheap.
Do you think I should pull the trigger now or wait for some sort of black friday sale?

Don't ever get any lg after g2. Not even the g3. Overheating is real and potentially bootloop to oblivion. Just get Op3 or check anything better than a fucking lg phone.

>>
>>57347893
Don't know if black friday may offer better deals. They didn't for me last year.

Anyway boost has this $45/month unlimited* plan that you may be interested in. You can use as much high speed data as you want BUT things like video streaming are limited to 480p resolution.

What 2016 phone offers the best android experience?

>>57347933
Alright I just looked it up and my plan is $30 UNL w/500MB HighSpeed Data

Well fuck I don't use up all the data either way but I'm considering switching now. The only thing holding me back now is having to start over with a new number.
>>
>>57347986
Redmi 4. Wait for it.
>>
>>57347768
>Forgot to mention isn't AMD shit compared to intel?
Depends.

The A8-7600 (kaveri) beats the i3-6100 (skylake) in multi-core by ~5% and a slightly better iGPU so it does well on games that use DX12 or that can efficienctly use more 4 cpu threads.

However it does lose to the i3-6100 by 35% in single thread performance so the i3 would do better in older games or games that can only efficiency use 2 cpu threads.

Anyway reason I recommend the A8 is because it's about half the cost of the i3 and most modern games can efficiency use 4 cpu threads now especially with DX12.
>>
>>57347988
>Well fuck I don't use up all the data either way but I'm considering switching now. The only thing holding me back now is having to start over with a new number.

Not sure, you'd have to call and ask them about it. I just remember one of my family members switching from virgin to boost and they kept their number. Said they had to get a code or something from virgin mobile. Anyway if they did it then I don't see why you can't.

>>57348800
4g means data speed. the 'inferior version' is the moto X play which isn't available in the US. I've got the same thing in my cart, just checking up some "9 months later/ 1 year later" reviews to make sure it's not going to feel dated soon.

The only catch I can see is that Motorola is announcing Moto M soon, so probably they'll discontinue Moto X Pure. Then, is it going to be worth it to buy a phone that will be dropped in a year or so (or maybe even instantly, since Motorola/Lenovo dropped support for Moto G3 even though it's only one year released)?

So I heard that the V20 arrived in Canada but only from wind here. Until I found out it's jackshit for my needs, it's feel like a downgrade towards my note 3 (not the SoC). All I want is a note 7 replacement with a really good display and sound.
>i waited a year for the note7 for nothing
Why is it so hard to find a phone like this that is not an iPhone.

There used to be a sale for the s7 edge for $850 a month ago. I missed it and now it's 1k.

V20 or s7e(now or wait until the Christmas sale) or wait for the s8+ stylus or kms with a chinkphone.

Lenovo Motorola dropped support to the Moto G3 just one year after its release. Moto X Pure is already one and half years old. Brand new Moto M is being announced any time now. Lenovo Motorola has absolutely terrible update records. Some phones are 3 months late on security updates.

So I have been looking for a $150-$250 phone that just werks and I was pretty settled on the Moto G4 for my needs.

However, the Moto X Pure is $250 on BestBuy right now which is a pretty amazing deal, and almost the same as the Moto G4 at it's regular price.

Should I grab it, or wait on the G4 to go on sale black friday? If I'm being honest I don't particularly need the better features, it's just that it's a nicer phone for such a gud deal.

I've been digging around the past few days and come up empty on this one. I'm hoping you find gents can help.

LG G4 H81120p, T-Mobile version, and whenever I use adb to force boot into boot loader to unlock the damn thing I lose all conection. It boots into bootloader, shows the commands in the top left, but other than that does nothing.

Fastboot commands, reboot, oem unlock, getvar, all of it. They all just freeze at WAITING

And I have no idea where to go. In just trying to fucking ROOT.

Yes, before you ask, I did enable oem unlock and usb debug in dev options. Where did I go wrong?

Good question, my brother is a artist and he prefer a phone with good DeltaE display below 3.5 for portable referencing. At the same time (mid-2k14) I was wondering about getting a music player for myself and found out about the samshit note 3. And that's how I got spoiled about being picky to these kinds of devices.
Plus that s-pen is pretty nice and fun to use as a sketchbook and useful towards everyday usage.

Anyway, I wish the Note 5 supported sdcards then I'll just call it a day, otherwise fml the note 7 was my last hope. I could get the s7 edge before but I was a waitfag. Now I don't mind sacrificing the pen for now until the next note arrives.

However the V20 caught my attention for a new phablet. But its not what I expected for it's price range. Considering it's main display, for example the color gamut is a bit off (average dE4.7-5.1 max9.5) from being accurate. And the audio quite powerful (0.99v, 72db) considering the meme 'quad-dac' it suffers in stereo crosstalk raise of -57.5.
Everything else about it is astonishing, except for that glass for the camera is fragile as thin ice and LG notorious bootlooping reputation. Otherwise LG done goofed again.

This year chinkphones are doing really good for the value. I hope next year wouldn't be shitty for flagship phones.

Currently, I am between a Google Pixel, HTC 10, OP3 and S7 Flat. I am living in Brazil so I would need to import the HTC 10 (827 USD), OP3 (805 USD) and Google Pixel (don't know). I can get a S7 flat for 680 USD and, as far as I know, between those 4 it would be the best overall (camera, hardware, battery, build quality, etc.), but I don't really like the Exynos SoC (because it doesn't perform well with custom ROMs) and TouchWiz (it would be great if I could get a "stock feel").

What are your suggestions?

For the past 3 months I've been out of a phone and I'm now thinking of buying an android to convert into a phone. The phone I used to have was an old, free, slider, "touchscreen" phone but now I can't find it anywhere [spoiler] mostly because I stopped caring [/spoiler]
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 3s as a means of communication (whattsapp and email) but I can't convert that because the audio jack got stuck and I don't know how to remove it without causing more problems (was like that before I had it, my sister's old phone).
Two questions:
1) is it possible to have a smartphone without needing data?
2) what andoid device should I buy that is better than my Galaxy 3s but not as new as 6s. Will be mostly using it for browsing, talking/chatting, some app games, and checking my e-mail...general things really.

The one that you don't stick in a protective case will scratch more, all other things being equal. This is basic goddamn logic, dude.
>>
>>57354636
1) yes...but you will basically only have access to whatever you're doing online with a Wi-Fi connection
2) this is all personal preference. You can go as old as a HTC ONE or as new as the pocket warmer. Whatever you do decide, get one that fits other needs. Needs like hand size, durability, waterproofing, price, TV remote, wireless charging, automatic dicksucking, or whore acquisition. WHATEVER YOU NEED.

Don't be so narrow minded that you focus on what some random jackass in 4chan tells you; do some digging and come up with some specifications that you're looking for.

I'm stuck ordering from verizon, so it looks like I'm choosing between the V20 and the S7 flat. I loved the Note 4, but have been skeptical to stick with Samsung after all they're none removable battery shit and the no added memory. The S7 I see does have a micro SD slot though. I like phablets, but I hear the V20 is not gonna last long with its reputation of bootlooping

When a phone supports dual-sim like the Xiaomi Redmi 3, does it matter which SIM is micro SIM and which one is nano SIM?

I guess my real question is: how the hell does dual-SIM work?

Getting a new phone soon, was set on the Pixlel but seems like more and more news about how shit it is comes out every day. /g/ has made me terrified of pic related when it comes to the LG G5, but does anyone know if there's been a hardware revision since its initial wave of bootloopy phones? And if not and I get one and it bootloops, since its just shitty soldering isn't that something I should be able to get fixed pretty easily?

Also, Verizon contracts means I can get a G5 for $200 or a Pixel 128GB for $300, I feel like these are both decent deals compared to retial, so what do?

Depends what the Redmi 4 will be. if it's in line with the leaks, 1080p, SD625, 4100mAh etc. then it's gonna be great and you should return the 3s and get it instead. but if it's gonna be mediakek or something like that then keep your 3s.
It's launching in 2 days so you'll know before it arrives.

Just "downgraded" from an S7 Edge to one of the $250 Moto X Pure on sale at Best Buy.

The S7 was literally the worst phone I had ever owned, the thing was a laggy piece of shit. It hung when switching between apps and apps often froze, took forever for the camera become usable, and I couldn't fix the issues with a hard reset. The phone seemed to be fine too, benchmarked where it should so no hardware faults. TouchWiz is just the worst.

The Moto X is noticeably smoother despite the older SOC and less RAM.

>Too heavy and too slow. K6000 Pro is faster and still has a huge battery. also useless in the U.S.
Weight isn't an issue, in fact, i hate how lightweight modern phones are. How slow is it compared to a gen 1 Moto G (my actual phone)? And I already checked the bands and it is compatible in my country.
>>
>>57360430
K10000 has an MTK6735 (1.3GHz A53x4) which is equivalent to SD410. this SoC is from 2013. it's pretty weak.
K6000 Pro has MTK6753 (1.5GHz A53x8) which is quite a lot better. also comes with Android 6.0 while the K10000 is still on 5.1.

I rarely use music, so that isn't much of a bother to me since I only have 3gb of data with my plan. Nor do I envision using more than the 32gb. That would be a lot of dolphin porn. Not sure on the Camera specs, but that mattered to me a lot. I currently work with a 2mp front facing and a 5mp back facing so either way it will be a massive upgrade to me.

It's good that more of the chinese companies are competing in the U.S. The current U.S companies are dinosaurs that need to go.

MIUI isn't even that bad really, I used it for around 3 months until I thought that I should probably go back to stock Android, didn't really have a reason just had some free time.

The G4 Play goes for as low as 2899 MXN unlocked on some stores, in distrito federal for example (my 14 YO brother snatched one for himself to shitpost on facebook), the only downside is that it needs to be a single pay in cold, hard cash, none of that poorfag using a credit/debit card or paying 200 pesos a month to walmart, thus ending up doubling the price of the phone.

The normal Moto G4 is a 5.5'' octacore with 2 GB of ram, the G4 Play is a 5" hexacore with 2 GB of ram.

The G4 might be 4600 MXN, but trust me, it is worth every cent because as you know, the only phones available in mexico that don't cost 18.000+ MXN are overpriced shitty 5" phones with sub 720p screens, dualcores and a measly GB of ram, this thing is obscenely better than some phones priced at 8500 MXN.

Bought a mediatek Xiaomi RN3 back in january but I dropped it and cracked the screen. Should I try to fix it, go for a RN3P or go all out and buy a Mi5?
>>

Moto G3 is $2100 in Amazon.

In Sonora the monopoly carrier doesn't sell Motorola phones anymore (Telcel).

Moto G4 is $3800 unlocked trough amazon and $4400 in local stores(And supermarkets such as walmart) by other carriers, and G4 Play is $3700 by AT&T.

I wouldn't trust a seller from amazon unless it was through an official store, specially not in fucking Sonora, the birthplace of the most "famous" narcos and other scum, a pricetag like that for a G3 when the G1 still goes for 1100 MXN used in Amazon? You're just asking to get stabbed, or at the very least for a brick in a Moto G3 box, what's your budget? Look at pic related, you could also import a 4G LTE Redmi Note 3 Pro for 3300 MXN including shipping, you seriously can't be this fucking poor, right now you're argentino level poor (those guys still think shitty nokia phones from 2007 are top-of-the-line phones).

And if you're adamant on getting a subpar phone for 2400 MXN, there are some BLU phones with the same or slightly better specs, just remember that whatever you do, never consider refurbished phones, specially not from LG, if I were you I'd just save up a little more and get a Moto G4.

Officially sold by Amazon Mexico, New.

Blu phones wont give me the same build quality and vanilla like android like Motorola phones.

And is not that im poor is just that i cant see myself spending $3000 on a phone i will use only for whatsapp and clover when i can get the same for $1000 less.

Any idea why I get so much Android System drain sometimes? Sometimes it would surpass my screen drain and other times it'd be at like 2%.
I restarted today and it seemed to fix it, especially for idle, but its just gonna start back up again
>>
>>57362955
Thing is, even shitty android budget phones cost 2000+ on average, and they're better than a Moto G3, a quadcore 1 GB of ram is not enough for LP or Marshmallow if you upgrade, you'll get lag on the app drawer, let's not talk about the resource hog that are WhatsApp and Facebook, and not even custom roms with a gorillion performance scripts will save you from this hell.

Wait until the Moto M launches, the G4 is guaranteed to go as low as 3000 on flash sales just to get rid of them and push the new mid-range lenovorola, still, 5000 MXN should be the bare minimum you're willing to spend on a phone, even a kid working part-time at McDonald's could afford a G4 Plus after two paychecks.

Alright boys, I'm about to post this and go to bed, I'll see the responses after work

I'm in Canada, I plan on getting a phone with Wind on Friday. I given it a couple weeks thought and I've boiled it down to 2 phones LG V20 and LG G5 with a $40 wind tab plan (If I get the V20 I'm adding a $15 wind boost to the plan maiking if $55). I'm not down with paying for a phone outright right now.

As you know the specs of the phones are pretty identical, a few differences that matter are G5 is $250 cheaper but the V20 is better looking, already comes with the B&O plaything, V20 has 64 gb internal, and it comes with $200 headphones. I'm content with the G5 but if you guys think I should get the V20 I will.

Thank you in advance, all suggestions welcome.

I think you should also know I'm coming off a long relationship with my HTC One X that overheated and died on me 2 months ago.
>>
Do you guys use screen protectors?

I put a glass one on my pixel but fuck I can't stand that raised edge and small bubbles it's fucking horrible
>>
>>57364341
I just read this thread and learned about Bootloops, it has me a little worried and hesitant, but hopefully after I read up on it tomorrow it won't seem as serious as you guys make it seem
>>
>>57358383
I guess that's on par with my usage too. Cool, just checking.
>>
Does the G4 boot loop
>>
>>57364671
Not made by LG so no.
>>
>>57364341
>>57364463
Never go LG, id wager theyre the worst android smartphone vendor out there even if their phones are innovative and pretty to look at, your bootloop is basically guaranteed, you simply cant avoid it, thats why LG doesnt even ask or try to jew you if you bring them a bootlooping phone, they just give you another one and call it a day

Paying monthly for your phone is also a bad idea, if you cant afford it go for something less expensive, Motorola/Xiaomi is your best bet

>>57364671
It has a shitty overheating snapdragon as well

>>57364429
Apply it properly then, order 3 online and watch videos on how to do it, im not joking

I've actually been eyeballing phones for the past 3 months now.

I ended up going with the G5. I had the G3 for 2 1/2 years and it was great. G5 development is just starting to take off and the CM team is working for 7.0 on it right now.

I got mine for $330 mint condition and slapped a nice case on it for about $345 total.

>>The plus:
The screen is really nice, I like color accuracy over AMOLEL screens.
The camera is pretty dang good, big improvement over my G3.
The ultra wide fish eye almost camera is pretty awesome too.
Always on display is nice.
LG Software isn't too bad with a different launcher and maybe themed with xposed and some other shit.
People complain about how the removeable battery thing doesn't sit flush, I don't have that problem. I can only imagine they dropped their phone many times and now bitch about it. Plus my spigen case is so tight it really makes it feel nice in the hand.
The single speaker on this thing actually sounds REALLY good, which is weird. It doesn't have that tinny make your ears hurt because you're autistic sound. It's got a nice thud and boom to it and it's really balanced.

>>The bad:
Some of the screens do have "temporary burn in" and are slightly darker, look for serial numbers that start with 609 for the latest model of it.
The phone screen isn't 100% flat, which is kinda annoying. I couldn't get my tempered glass screen protector to stay on. Whatever though, you don't notice when using it. The 609 serials doesn't have this.
It looks like an iPhone with an LG logo on the bottom front in a case.
You can't use the wide angle lens in snapchat and have to send them a photo of it in the messenger.
Front facing camera is definitely not as good as a samsung imo.

I don't care about headphone quality through jack because most of my music is over bluetooth.

What's the most easy to use and lightweight device which can run apps like Storytel?

At least 4" screen and no bigger than 5".

>>57365834
Wait a week after got the approval message. Normally your MI ID still not registered in the system instantly so you have to wait.

Also you need developer rom. I tried mine with global rom and stuck at 50 just like yours.

First time Chinese phone buyer, making sure I'm doing this right. So I plan on buying a Redmi Note 3, this one specifically:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Official-Global-Version-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-3-3i-pro-prime-special-Version-Smartphone-5-5-Inch/32717858702.html?spm=2114.13010308.0.0.aXjxRN

Since that comes with an EU charger and I live in the US, it seems I'll need to buy this:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5V-2-1A-Universal-4-USB-Port-EU-UK-US-AU-Plug-Travel-AC-Charger-Adapter/32598628861.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.2.QaQhhf&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10091_10090_10088_10089,searchweb201603_1&btsid=8405ca18-239d-4e9b-8d6b-2a2ec39c2283

Now I'd like to use it over the Ting GSM network. Since that version of the Redmi Note 3 supports Band 4 for LTE, I assume it should work fine. Has anyone had experience with that network using a Xiaomi phone?

So that's my plan, is there anything I'm doing wrong, or not taking into acount? I'm just looking for any correction or reassurance before making the purchase. Thanks.
>>
>>57368802
Ok I don't have to buy the extra charger. Still, if there's anything else I should be aware of before buying please let me know.
