v20 I have this phone and it is beautiful all througout

Anyone have any idea why my phone is now taking ages to charge? Started happening in the last couple of days, and I don't recall having done anything special before it.
It says it will take 9 hours to charge from 44% at the moment.

>>57461777
how ass is the build quality?

>>57461360
Current (overall) best is The Pixel, followed very closely by the S7 variants.

>>57461778
Using it more during a charge, or charging it through your computer vs power outlets can change the time it takes to fully charge. Or perhaps a shitty app.

>>57461814
build quality is great
fells sturdy as hell even though it has a removal back
the plastic on top and bottom isn't even felt.
Only problem is it's a little light
Overall feels premium as fuck

>>57461817
>Pixel
>No expandable storage
BAHAHAHA

>>57461360
I found a S7 Edge 32gb for £460 on sale, gotta say that was a fast grab for me and is on the way.

>>57461817
I'm always charging through the outlet, I have also tried different chargers. The only app I have installed recently is Yahoo Weather.
You think fully charging it then completely draining it would help?

>>57461862
i forget you need so much storage for your kiddie porn

>>57461873
What is the battery monitor looking like, what is using so much of it?
Also make sure to search your phone model and see if others are having the same exact problem.

>>57461412
It's also really easy to replace the screen.

>>57461705
Thankfully none of those supersede battery life.

I like my Lumia 650.

Should I upgrade to a 950?

I bought a pixel. I love this phone.

>>57461412
Any good current phones with solid single battery performance that aren't overloaded with bloatware/locked to hell?

V20 is tempting but battery life seems poor.

>>57462450
The pixel

>>57462471
Is it as botnet as it sounds?

>>57462482
YES. Dont buy it. Trash.
ATLEAST buy an s7

>>57462482
It's slightly less botnet than other Android phones, because it only comes with Google's botnet, while other phones come with manufacturer and provider botnets plus Google's.

But it ships unlocked and with stock Android.

>>57462450
The benefit of a removable battery is Anker and ZeroLemon producing higher mAh batteries, so just wait it out. As for bloat, root will solve that issue.

>>57462567
Dis nigga lyin hard

T-mobile never fucking has the V20 in stock. I want to give them my Note 7 already. They forced the 60 percent battery life update on me while I was sleeping and now I get a pop up every time I unlock the phone.

I'll have to see if they can just order one.

>>57462626
>upgrading to a new phone after 3 months
u rich or sumin?

>>57462567
It's fucking google botnet super edition because the new assistant ensures they listen and record everything you say even when the screen is off. Plus all the other shit getting integrated just to their liking.

>>57462664
It's a bomb and they're making it more of a pain to use to force me to return it for a refund because of the recalls.

I should have just used package disabler to stop the update but I didn't think I'd still have the phone. If the recall didn't happen I would be keeping this phone forever. Best phone I've owned so far.

>>57462340
No, buy android, lumias are dead.

Should i wait for the galaxy s8

>>57462734
> 5.7" and 6.2"
No.

>>57462766
s7 edge or v20

>>57462796
S7E. anything but LG.

>>57462340
if you have the 650 not really. i'd keep the 650 and use until it breaks, its a fucking beautiful phone, very nice screen too.

>>57462766
just because you don't like big phones doesn't mean he can't ya fucking faget

>>57462016
Battery monitor looks normal. The drainage time is also as usual, only the charging time is affected, which I feel is even weirder. If the battery emptied really quickly I would've just assumed it had kicked the bucket, but it's working normally except for the long charging time.

Anyone running the S7 nougat beta able to find the lock screen effects setting? The default zoom transition is terrible.

>>57462904
no one likes big niggery phones

>>57462005
that's disgusting man, couldn't you just say he needs it to save his numerous episodes of the big bang theory? 'cause, you know, that would still be a pretty big fucking insult. why do people watch that show again?

Is the Moto G Play the best non-chink phone in the $70-$140 price range? Need to know as a present for a family member.

My Op3 is finally arriving tomorrow to replace my nexus 4. Should I root it immediately (mostly for adaway) or just leave it as it is famiglia?

>>57462959
if nobody liked them then they would have ceased to exist in 2011 when the original galaxy note was launched, you smelly butt chicken.

>>57463015
Yeah, although it's a chinkphone in disguise.

>>57463121
I actually don't mind chink phones, but I just don't want to worry about LTE coverage and such.

>>57462865

That's true, but one of my only complaints about it is the low resolution. I can see individual pixels. Not optimal for porn. Meanwhile, the 950 is a 1440p OLED.

>>57462450
battery is great I have no problem with it

>>57461317
Zte Axon 7 vs. OnePlus 3?

Alright, haven't visited /spg/ in a good 2-3 years.

Finally got myself an embedded systems job, and want to pick up a new phone. Had the m8 for a couple years, and was looking at One+. Friend got the One+3 and looked pretty good, and just saw the twitter on the OP.

Is now a good time to get the One+3?

>>57463470
fuck you man.

>>57463592
No, it's discontinued and out of stock everywhere.
Just get the OP3T when it's out.

>>57463918
Well it's being released November 15, http://www.gsmarena.com
http://www.phonearena.com

will cover it.

>>57463927
Zuk if you prefer smaller phones, RN3P if big ones.

>>57463882
sorry brother, i tried to reply to that lumia dude and tried doing so 5 times to no avail. i actually managed to tell you to go fuck yourself at the first try, proving that 4chan either really hates microsoft phones or that you fucked moot's gf so he probably doesn't like you very much.

>>57464010
(in case you didnt get it, my post to you was a test)

>>57463936
Is battery life similar between the two? And is the lack of quickcharge on the RN3P noticeable?

Mi5 3/64 black glass or Mi5s 3/64 silver?
They are basically the same price.

Where are all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales for the good phone?
I want to get an Axon 7.
Why is it that only SamShit and iPhones are on sale?

Pixel or V20? or is there a better phone in the US?

>>57464193
Pixel. It's the best.

nexus 6 7.1 update when

>>57464193
Pixel is GARBAGE DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE SHILL KEKS. Either V20 or s7e. I recommend s7e

Should I go for the s7e right now or wait for the s8? Dying to get a phone with a better battery life than mine and I don't know if I want to wait another 5 or 6 months?

What's the best phone for 200 dollars? The moto G?

>>57464010
NBo worries, I have a microsoft phone and it is shit which is why I'm asking if any of you can recommend to me either the zte axon 7 (that i just pulled the trigger on) or the oneplus 3

What's the best camera I can buy in a smartphone? Regardless of platform?

>>57464193
V20. Don't fall for bootloop myths. Nothing you can't fix on your own.

>>57463936
Thanks, been reading up more on it and while I don't mind the small price increase, in general how risky is it to buy products on the release date?

Should I generally wait around for awhile to see if it there are any common complaints or just go ahead and bite the bullet and pick it up.

What's the best option for a mobile carrier in the US?
On Verizon now with a shitty 2 year contract and I could switch to the prepaid one which is only like 5 bucks cheaper a month. Was looking at T-Mobile and it seemed to have the same price as the prepaid Verizon.

>>57464345
Nobody can answer that but you

Now that Lumias are dead is there anything that can compete in that pricerange? They had some really nice phones under $50 prepaid. I haven't seen any Andriods under $150 with the same features. Like Gorilla glass OLED screens and good cameras.

Guys I'm new to chink stuff but I was looking into buying a xiaomi phone. Which models are good? I hear the most about the redmi note 3 pro and the 4 but I don't know the difference between any of them really, it's all really jumbled.

That redmi 4 prime in the OP looks super neat though, any place that sells it online?

I'm kinda really lost, if anyone could give me the basics or point me towards a place to learn, I'd be grateful

>>57464433
Is there a predicted release range for it?

>>57464527
3-6 months

I've got a RN3P on the way from Gearbest, it comes with a shitty shop ROM.

>>57464456
lumias aren't dead at all, I just got a 640 XL like 2 weeks ago and its fucking beautiful. well i mean they are pretty dead, but W10M is very stable at the moment, I got like three updates in 2 weeks and they're still avaliable for purchase. so...yeah, get one.

how often do you guys replace your phone?

>>57464774
Yeah it's the same, some call it pro, some call it prime. if you see SD625 it's it.
The 4A is SD425
The 4(non pro/prime) is SD430.

Is no lte support for some Chinese phones noticeable in day to day usage?

>>57464832

Windows Phone died for me the day the alarm clock app failed to work and made me late for work for unknown reasons.

An alarm clock app was stable in the earliest iterations of the computing machine. Fucking that up is a disaster.

>>57464814
They start posting announcements next week.

>>57464845
Okay, thank you. This so confusing. The prices are all different from those in the wiki or in the OPs, is this because of the pre 11.11 sale? Should I wait until tomorrow to price check? I went to chnprice and a lot of the have price spikes that are a day old or so.

>>57464873
Wasting your money. Natural selection will take place eventually

I'm just gonna ask one last time, to help make up my mind.

Is the warranty-less Exynos international version of the S7 worth more than getting a warranty guaranteed Snapdragon domestic version of the S7?

I'm either going to order the Exynos version tonight, or go to T-Mobile and get the bloatware Snapdragon version tomorrow.

If I ever needed /g/'s hot opinions, I would need them now.

>>57464935
No. Snapdragon version is superior in my opinion

>>57464950
Are you memeing? I've been led to believe the snapdragon version is inferior.

>lumias aren't dead at all

Their future is. I think the phones are great but they're not gonna keep making good ones and the app market is shrinking. Microsoft is giving up. A shame really.

I can't be the only one who wanted a Lumia 1020v3 by now.

Where the hell do I get my hands on a legit lucky patcher download, every place seems so shady.

>>57464975
I would research further than that fucking niggers video if I were you.

>>57464853
have you ever thought that, with an alarm clock being something that basic (as you said), maybe you were just terribly unlucky and that its something that could just as easily happened on android?

>>57464869
Yeah wait for tomorrow, they're upping the price now on purpose. also bear in mind shipping from China takes a long time unless you use expensive DHL.
Also, no bands for U.S. I hope your'e Europe/Asia.

>>57464988
Just dl and try it out :^)

If mobilism still exists and has it that should be ok.

>>57465007
Neither, I'm a dirty dirty ape from south america. But the bands work, actually. Also please don't read everything I posted in some weird accent, thanks.

>>57464935
It's not worth the hassle. also the GPU is far better on the SD820. yeah Exynos CPU is faster in benches but in real world you won't notice any difference.

>>57465031
Oh, and buy from a local reseller if you want warranty and support. I live in a small Euro country and bought the RN3P in a local shop for my brother for $50 more than Aliexpress price, but with 2 year warranty that he already used (first model received was DOA).

Need a 5.5"+ phone for about 300 bucks that I can order in the US and not wait a month for it to arrive from Chinkland. Any ideas?

doesn matter if battery last 2 days, phone will boot and stay booting til you do something or it kills whatever remaining battery you have.

As you can see, it matters.

>>57461714
not worth it, it's a mid/high range specced phone at premium price, no water proofing (something that all compacts had before).
I own a Z3 Compact and I'm eyeballing a X Performance. I dread the ass huge size, but like everything else, specially the price.

Are there any Xposed modules which work negatively with CM13? I can see a lot of ones which are unnecessary just based on what Cyanogenmod bakes into the ROM, but I'm just curious if there are any which should actively be avoided.

I mostly want xposed for Amplify and greenify's xposed features, but it'd be cool to see what else could make CM even better.

I'm sure they're trying to sort the issue out. You can't expect every single LG phone in the future to have the same issue. They'll fix it eventually, why not this time? I personally would wait a little while longer to see if anything crops up, but if anons want to go for it, I won't judge. Should be covered under warranty.

>>57465330
the only reason google doesn't offer it is because it's a fucking awful medium that fucks with the system unless it's built exclusively around it and forces users to not use cheap chink storage
but whatever floats your boat comet pizza member :)

>>57465391

Your post doesn't really make any logical sense.

The reasoning is clearly that proprietary memory upgrades carry a far larger price than third party memory upgrades.

>>57465410
It makes perfect logical sense.

The format does not work unless users have to buy special OEM approved cards, otherwise systems get fucked and users blame it on the OEM. Why go through this hassle to please cp users when you can just abandon them altogether and have proper control over your devices and storage solutions?

>>57465380
RN3P

>>57461864
In real dollars, that's pretty good for an s7. I'm on an s6, and living without root is hell. I know that this phone would last almost twice as long with root and debloat.

>>57465311
how about you actually explain what makes a perfectly fine phone like the nexus 6 an "abomination"? I'm genuinely curious to know what drives you to that opinion.

>>57464073
The RN3P has quick charge and better battery life m8
Though iirc the Zuk 2 has newer QC support

Am I suppose to be getting ~4 hours sot with the rn3p? Is there something wrong or is 6-8 hours only in benchmarks with the screen constantly on

I have someone offering to trade my Nexus 6P for their OnePlus 3, both 64gb.

fucking ota just showed up, only 36mb but i have custom recovery and rooted here. obviously, OTA won't install properly through firmware itself, so two questions:

-if i flash the newest full firmware over ODIN, is it going to erase all my fucking apps and settings and shit?

-is there a way i can just download the OTA and flash it via TWRP manually?

>>57464853
maybe it saved you from an unfortunate accident? maybe you'll meet that special someone you never would have encountered otherwise? you should be thanking that phone, it knew the future better than you.

Mom's work friends told her to buy this phone.http://www.staples.ca/en/Samsung-Galaxy-J3-Unlocked-50-Smartphone-16-GB-SM-J320WZAAXAC/product_2438066_1-CA_1_20001

I'm pretty sure it's a piece of shit.
Oneplus x is similarly priced but is it just as shit or more reliable.
She doesn't need anything fancy just something that works well enough so that she isn't asking me what's wrong with the phone all the time and something that wont go to shit in 6 months.

Any better phones around 200-260 CAD 5.0inches? There's so many of them i don't know which is the least shit.

Just want something that won't lag for $300 (can't push more) and with fingerprint sensor or waterproof

If she is okay with a 5.5" phone then the Redmi Note 3 Pro is GOAT
Older iPhone's aren't a bad idea either, an iPhone 5S is still usable for pretty much everything and can be had for pretty cheap

...What's his problem with the OnePlus 3?

I fucking love the OnePlus 3. It's got fucking 30-minute charging and the battery is similar to the LG G4's. It's mid to low teir good. It's just ok, but the fast charging makes it easy to manage and it dozes just like any other android phone can doze to save battery life. Greenify, senpai.

Mine is unlocked and rooted with FreedomOS's from XDA.

>>57466189
ALSO

That's really fucking dumb. Why would you trade a phone that will soon recieve no updates from the Googs for basically a 2016 improvement with infinite software potential for the next two to three years?

>>57466128
Thanks for this. the redmi pro 3 is cheap on gearbeast right now so i might get her to get that.
She's using a 3.5inch old samsung right now and does not want to go 5.5 inches big.
She's using a gateway laptop with a broken s key and wont shell out the cash for anything that is decent and will last - or else i'd get her to just get the pixel or 6p and be done with it.

Should I buy oneplus two or three?

Note that I don't currently use NFC

>>57466325
The Oneplus two had hardware issues with the fingerprint sensor and the battery. So far.. the three doesn't outside of firmware differences when flashing custom roms so if you're going that route, read EVERYTHING. OP likes to change their firmware on shit every OTA release so it's hard for xda devs to keep shit compatible.

>>57466325
Oneplus 2: It's $100 cheaper

Oneplus 3:
It's a newer, higher performance phone, hence the "3"
It's being supported by Ubuntu Touch(OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED), SailfishOS(community alphas) and (eventually) plasma.
Otherwise the phone is entirely boring. There's no removable battery and there's no SD card.
AMOLED screen is a plus depending on who is reading this sentence. Some like them, some hate them. Personally, I like them.

>>57466205
then just make her go iphone SE
it's the only reasonably good small phone around

I was just pointing out that build quality and bootloops matters friendo. I hope you don't have any problems with the phone, but just know what you could be getting into. I had phones that people bitched about certain issues and I never experienced any of them so in my experience those phones performed well, but the reality is that it was a lottery and I just was lucky. Defending something to death like some loyal dog is fucking pathetic, just get something, learn that it has pros and cons and be prepared to endure or fix whatever brings your whole experience down.
All that being said, I think the LG V20 looks fine, it's nice you can cahnge batteries but it isn't the second comming of Christ. At least it looks a better phone than the Pixel, which isn't hard actually.

>>57461317
>New report says Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will come with 5.7" and 6.2" bezel-less displays
The small one better be fucking non-curved. I ain't buying that shit.

I recently cracked the screen on my Redmi Note 3 Pro and am looking to get a new phone.

Is the Redmi Note 4 the best sub 200 phone out right now? I was thinking of just getting another Note 3 pro, but I heard the camera is better on the Note 4.

>>57466203
I don't fuckin' know, man. I'm gonna take the offer.

Thank you based anon

Who else waiting for over priced pixel /meme/

>>57466618
It is but not much better, you also lose official CM support and you probably won't ever get it since Mediatek
The GPU of the Mediatek SoC is slower than the SD650, though it is slightly faster CPU wise

>>57466769
Would you say to just go with another Note 3 Pro then? I see there is a Note 4 Pro with a SnapDragon 652, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. I'm open to other recommendations.

>>57466785
>Would you say to just go with another Note 3 Pro then?
Unironically yeah, still the best option unless you want to downgrade or upgrade
>I see there is a Note 4 Pro with a SnapDragon 652
It's a rumor, chinky chinks are listing it even though it isn't even announced
If it exists it won't be announced sooner than February

>>57466529
I don't own the phone, just saying it's harsh to judge when it's been out a month now without any bootloop issues and that one would expect LG to fix their production issues sooner or later. There could still be problems that crop up later, as with any new-release product. Personally I wouldn't buy a phone that hasn't already been available to the public for a few months to see if there are any major issues.

I want to get a flagship phone next time I upgrade. This would probably be next spring. US, Verizon.

Between the Galaxy S7 (or 8 if it's out by then) and the smaller and cheaper of the Google Pixels, which would you recommend?

>>57466848
8 will be out by then
dont bother with pixel, wait for the pixel 2 (november of next year anyways)
htc 11 will also be out by then

>>57466870
Hadn't considered HTC. Figure I should?

What does /g/ think of the Blackberry Dtek60? Thinking of buying one.

>>57466990
It's a Blackberry. It's also 2016.

>>57461412
>LG

Enjoy your eventual bootloop.

>>57465327
Considering that every single LG phone starting from the G3 is plagued with bootloop issues including the infamous V10, there is a very good chance that it will appear eventually appear in the V20 as well.

>>57467010
?

>>57466813
Thanks I think I'll go with the Note 3 Pro again. Do you know where I can get one that has a fingerprint scanner compatible with cm13 (the fcp1020)?

My current one is using the Goodix fingerprint scanner and it isn't compatible.

>>57462766

if no bezels rumor is true, 5.7 inch model is going to be the same size as a current S7 just with way better screen/body ratio.

>>57467129
afaik it's impossible to get one of the first batch new, you might be lucky scouring eBay/Craigslist for one of the older ones
iirc there's support for the Goodix fingerprint scanner on unofficial CM13's from XDA

Well I am waiting for Huawei Mate 9, which is going to get released in the next 2 weeks.

What's everyones opinion on the ZTE axon 7 and Oppo R9 Plus? Tossing between the two

>>57468790
ZTE Axon 7 has a better DAC, pretty fast and has better support (Daydream-compatible and
upgrading to Nougat 7.0 soon) and frequent firmware updates. But you have to check whether your telecom LTE band is compatible though, that could be the Deal-Breaker.

Oppo phones are seriously good and well-polished but they never ever upgrade their shit, let alone to Nougat (Blame ColorOs)

They both have premium quality. So whatever you pick you are not losing out.

Alternatively, you could wait for the Oppo R9s or Huawei Mate 9, coming out this Late Nov/Dec.

dropped my htc one m9 in the toilet and it wont turn on.
Fuck.
Luckily I won £80 betting on Trump, whats a cheap droid based phone I can get for £200 or less that uses micro sd and has a hd screen?

Dont need the latest and greatest but something proven to be good will do me even if its a couple years old

>>57469357
Elephone P9000 ?
ZTE Blade V7?
Lenovo K5?
Huawei?
LeTV Le2?

>>57469412
hows the htc m8 in 2016?

>>57469586
The build quality is not the best to say the least.
The Camera is literal pigswill.
The BoomSpeakers are still pretty fucking dope.

Plus, I don't think you will be getting nougat/VR support or any more firmware updates on the ageing m8.

Better to just save up for the new shit or buy the phones above.

Would you recommend an OPPO R9 plus or a Huawei Mate 8?

>>57469736
Mate 8 might be receiving the Latest EMUI
update, bumping it up to 7.0 and a whole load of
Mate 9 Goodies.

Oppo rarely updates their shit.
Your choice.

>>57469412
huawei what?

>>57461317
that phone in OP image is aesthetically poor, the colors are very dim and that camera housing is quite obtuse. the ui looks ok, but the font looks unadequate.

what phone is it out of curiousity?

Hello,
I'm buying a phone for my mother today. Is Huawei Honor 7 Lite a good option? Getting it on a contract for about 6 EUR/month for 24 months at our provider. Seems best bang/buck. Only other options are samsungs, htc, lg's and lenovos. We don't have other chink phones for offer.

>>57469826
>Huawei Honor 7 Lite a good option?

no

>>57469759
Huawei P8 Lite

>>57469826
It's okay for a non-flagship option.
Lenovo might be cheaper tho.

>>57469873
At least get the P9 Lite if ot has to be a HueHueWei..

>>57470570
Is OnePlus also giving the finger to the Jew?

>>57470570
I just bought it!

>>57470555
Apparently, yes. Especially (but these are rumors) if you mod your device, but there's no evidence about it, probably it's an hardware issue

Just got a OnePlus Three and flashed it with Cyanogenmod, TWRP, systemless SuperSU, Magisk and systemless Xposed.

>>57470678
congrats

>>57470555
its just as bad as exploding samsungs, and it's made even worse by the fact LG doesn't want to acknowledge it

Guys thinking of my next new smartphone, the only chick phones that are available in my country for their actual worth price are Meizu phones, what is the consensus here?

>>57470932
Apparently it hasnt aged well but at £120 or so im not seeing anything new that can compete with it.

Talk me out of it lads. Leaning towards m8 x new headphone amp but if you can find me a £200 phone im all ears, anything other than the previously suggested though

>>57461317
Im thinking of getting either an iPhone SE or a Galaxy S7 (non egde). The size of the galaxy is a tad too big. Is there any smallish android phone worth looking for?

any aesthetic android phones with physical keyboard, hd screen and micro sd slot?

The only good cheap phones I hear shilled around here are RN3P and Zuk Z2. Are there any more I should check out?

Also, is there a noticeable difference in performance between the 2 and 3 GB ram version of RN3P?

Xposed for nougat?

>>57470693
how is your phone constantly restarting supposed to be even half as bad as exploding in your fucking face? I do wonder why this is still an issue after three iterations of the G line when it apparently doesn't happen in any other major brand...

Anyone else experiencing choppy video with the OnePlus 3? I've experienced the same on the s7

>>57471382
Elephone S7

Is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro still the most cost efficient chinkphone?

>>57471432
Well first things first, I didn't say it was exactly the same. I stated it was just as bad. At the end of the day you're still left with a device you can't fucking use. Obviously, if the phone was anywhere near your person, the exploding nature causes more damage. And lastly, at least samsung acknowledged the issue - which lessens the impact on the population due to recalls being issued AND all carriers posting giant fucking warnings on their site/sending them to owners. LG? They pretend it's only a problem exclusively for the G4.

>>57471189
If you hate Sony for whatever reason, no there are no small android phones worth looking for that compare to the SE.

>>57471498
Yes, and I'm pretty sure aliexpress is taking like $10-20 off the cost due to the ongoing sale today.

>>57471470
Vid playback or recording?

>>57464354
I was also a WP user and bought OP3 and I'm very very pleased.

passport or priv lads?

>>57471556
dude, your comment still makes no sense. if it causes more damage as you stated yourself and if the negative effects are obviously higher then no, they aren't "just as bad". a major annoyance like having your phone rendered unusable for a certain period of time isnt even on the same fucking ballpark as having a portable device that is carried around at all times that has the potential to 'cause third-degree burns if not worse. you just don't fuck around with people's safety like that. also, if I'm not mistaken, LG does switch your phone if you ever encounter any bootloops. it's a fucking shame tho, because they seem like very solid smartphones all around beyond that.

Waiting for the Huawei Mate 9's release next week...

>>57471690
Your comment is a disaster to even begin to understand. Hopefully that's remedied in the near future friend.

>>57465391
even fucking Samsung still has expandable storage lol how u frontin

>>57471664
PP if you can handle no apps/don't use your phone for a lot of video viewing.
Priv if you absolutely need a keyboard and app access.
Neither if you can get away with not using a keyboard.

you don't understand because you're clearly a dumb piece of shit that clearly has the ability for analysis and critical thinking of a fucking 14 year old. at least admitting it would make you able to focus on that problem but I can't expect much from someone whose balls haven't even dropped yet.

TL;DR: you're stupid.

what does /g/ think of the HTC 10

I don't know why you're so upset over the lack of your ability to convey what you so desire concisely.
Please work on that, and your anger issues, thank you.

>>57471901
Strange. When you play the recorded video back on the device is there a clear difference between viewing it on the phone and on a computer (ie one the choppy video is there and there other it isn't)?

>>57472018
Well perhaps it'll hit a new low price this holiday season. It was previously around $299 during the summer during some flash sale on newegg or ebay, can't remember which.

>>57472322
It's just with snapchat. Viewing others' videos seems good but when recording it severely lags. Haven't tried restarting the phone yet so maybe that will help.

>>57472305
Great phone. One of the best out currently

>>57472322
I did clearly and meticulously explained everything that was wrong with your argument you fucking hunk of crap, you were the one who had to use an ad hominem in order to try and not lose the argument instead of just admitting that I'm right and you're wrong, because you're so fucking insecure about your intelligence that you think not always and constantly being right implies that you're stupid. I know your type you retarded faggot and I also see the irony here, but at least I'm able to have an intelligent discussion so as long as the other person isn't a tremendous shit-eater like you. people like you are fucking cancer and I swear to god everyone as dumb as you should be nuked right the fuck off the face of this planet.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone else have problems with firefox for android crashing on JS-heavy websites? Happens all the time for me even though my phone has 3GB of RAM. I just can't bring myself to switch to chorme or any other botnet shit.

I am planning to buy an android phone costing $300 -$350 max. My main priorities : Camera, Battery, Screen size preferably `5.5 Inches. What is the best phone among these brands?
Google nexus 6p, One Plus 3, HTC, Samsung Note series, Huawei.

(Also, assuming the costs of some of these phones would come down by Black Friday, what would you suggest)

>>57474440
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime

I have ATT&T and I want a phone with at the MOST a 5.2 inch screen... I prefer smaller phones. Max Id want to spend would be 300 dollars. I also would like a microsd slot. Help! I bought a Honor 8 but its kind of pissing me off

>>57474440
OP3
the others (excluding huawei, but if you're going to buy chink might as well go xiaomi or all of these new parties like zte) won't be under $350 unless you buy it used from someone lmao

>>57474460
>>57474487
Do they support all the US bands? $190 is pretty cheap for a phone with all these features. Hopefully, the nexus price comes down to $300-350

>>57474582
there's no need to support every band
so which carrier are you with

the nexus is pretty much dead at this point, just go OP3(T)

>>57474751
I'm using Lyca Mobile. OP3T looks good but its out of my budget.

>>57475085

The nexus 6p is also out of your budget (if you're stucking to 350 max) seeing as the lowest it's been was 399 @ newegg.

I've had a Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro for the past 2 years and it's been a great phone to me. The software wasn't the best, but the hardware was super tough. Kinda like a kid with down syndrome. It's survived smacks against nearly everything... that is, except for today when my friend smacked his keychain (with this weird weighted bar on it) about 4 times. It cracked not the protective screen but the LCD screen under it. The phone itself works, but the screen is permanently black. Anyone know of something similar to it in toughness, but maybe with a better OS?
