Me in the back

is huawei any good with updates? the nova looks nice (should have been the pixel man, far far better than that htc shit).

Got a Mi5 coming tomorrow and trying to apply for bootloader unlock. I filled the form in properly but it keeps telling me to input correct name. I have used my forum username as I'm supposed to.
Anyone had this happen to them? What do?

So whats the deal with all that chinese backdoor stuff I hear? I really dont care if the chinese have any of my information as the US governement probably already does, but are they using the phones as a botnet in any way that would drain battery/data or cause slowdown?

I'm looking into the 2gb version of the Redmi note 3 pro.
I have a Z3 now but the battery is dying and I dont need anything more powerful just with better battery.

Got an old xperia Z1, broke my cam and the battery is dying. Looking to upgrade.
only limit : 500$ and not sony
Thinking about nexus 6p or 5x or the OP3/T
Any suggestions?

Xiaomi Mi 4C good for a dad phone?

I bought a galaxy s7 edge coral blue

>>57649131
You don't need to unlock to flash global rom or CM13.

>>57649173
the 3gb version is $20 more, don't be retardo.

>>57649221
OP3T.

>>57649230
Old and no global rom. Remdi 4 Prime is better.

>>57649318
nice blog.

>>57649371
unfortunately, that's not available here, although there is a "Mi 4 4G", maybe that's it?

>>57649418
No that's the regular Mi4 (sd801). mi4c(sd808) is better.

>>57649371
So if I download the global dev ROM I can just flash it without unlocking then?

>>57649565
Yes you can flash global rom via EDL.

if you want CM13 you can do that:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5611tg/psa_you_can_flash_twrp_and_subsequently_cm13/

from what I father CM13 is still beta on the Mi5.

>>57649607
Yeah I was just gonna stick with rooted MIUI for a while at least. Thanks for the info.

Shot posting from my new HTC 10, hello everyone!

>>57649645
If you do get the unlcok code, you should first flash Global Dev via EDL mode, then unlock the bootloader, then flash Cofface's TWRP and then flash SuperSU in TWRP for root.

Just bought a Lumia 650 for 140€

>>57648934

Still using a Nexus 4 but it's getting slow as fuck and the battery barely lasts half a day. Size isn't too much of a concern as long as it isn't taking up my entire pocket.

Redmi cameras has notoriously bad cameras. the one on the RN3P is trash and I imagine the one on the R4 is too.
For $230 you can get the Mi5 or Zuk Z2 with much better cameras and perfromance.

Well my g4 just got the bootloop AIDs. Damn shame, had it since launch. Anyone know what I can expect from the process? I've had it for almost a year and a half, will it still be covered?

Do they replace it with another g4 that will eventually die again?

What about my porn? and other stuff too...I guess.

Coming from a Moto G3, what am I expecting? Did I do ok?

So, what's the best bang for the buck phone right now? I haven't checked the market in a while.

>>57650041
I have the OP3 and I switched from a nexus 4. In my experience the screen is quite good (I like the amoled blacks) I don't notice any downside of the 1080p. If you find the colors too saturated you can also enable the srgb mode. I didn't notice any bugs in the software. I can describe the experience as using a stock like custom rom. It is very much like stock but has some really useful built in features such as double tap to wake, switching between on screen and capacitive buttons etc. For me the battery life had been really good and the dash charger is amazingly fast. Overall I'd recommend the OP3(T)

>>57651378
Zuk z2 (not the pro)

>>57651383

What Huawei? P9 is better than G5. Honor 8 too. G5 is ok but battery is crap.

>>57650686
second for HTC 10, absolutely can't go wrong with this one.

What apps do people here use to get the most out of their battery before needing to charge?

Right now I'm running CM13 (went through permissions and turned off most of them) with Greenify and Amplify and running Nova. Is there a more battery-friendly launcher out there? (One which still has a reasonable set of features, that is.)

>>57651637
How is the P9 better? They cost exactly the same in my case. Battery isn't an issue for me since they're replaceable, there's even an extra one in the G5 box, and I'm not a heavy user.

>>57651657
Don't have battery hog social media apps like Facebook snapchat

>>57651624

I don't have those anyway. Just bookmarks to the sites in Lightining.

Look at the post above I replied to the wrong post I uploaded a sample pic senpai

Hi, I am looking for a new smartphone to replace my Moto G 1st gen that is aging.
I live in France and will be using it with SFR.
I would like decent headphone jack quality (my moto g one had crackling noise) a good battery life and a good screen. I don't want it to be laggy…
If it can be rooted easily that would be pretty cool and a huge advantage.
My budget is around 200 eur with a margin of let's say 50 eur, if there is an exeptional offer i could add an additional 50 bucks.
The Redmi note 3 pro could be good I think but I don't know if I can have something better for the price…
Thanks !

Why would you want anything less than 5 inch?

Buy a redmi 4 or zuk z2.

Bezels aren't as big these days so they're not as bad as they were a couple of years ago.

Sup guys quick queston, should i go for the new s7edge or a practically new note 5 while saving $150 at most?.

I know that the s7edge is newer, my last phone was the note3, but since the note7 is fucked i am torn between those two.

Thanks!.

If you want a phone with good battery life just buy an oukitel.

K10000 has a 10000mAh battery built in, k6000 and k6000 pro are 6000MAh.

So worth it.

>>57651289

>>57652301
>I'm not blind
A blind person wouldn't be using a smartphone in the first place though.

Sub 5" phones have all but disappeared from the market. You could probably get the iPhone 5 SE if you really want, but with iPhone bezels you'll be better off with a 5 inch android device with thinner bezels.

>>57652308
I can go with less battery life. Those cost too many gorillion dollars.

Honor 5x. ZF2 a shit.

>>57649003
I have one. It's dead. Waiting for replacement battery to arrive. Not even sure if that's the issue.
It served me well for 3.5 years. Only started getting slow toward the end, my guess is because of bloat. Dropped it more than I can count without getting any cracks.

>>57653535
I also want to add it is extremely hard today to find a decent smartphone that is actually a comfortable size, like the galaxy s4 mini.

I'm trying really hard to like the pixel because I have a $800 amazon gift card to spend.

Pros
-good camera
-stock google
-works with sprint

Cons
-amoled (burn in, I prefer ips)
-only 5.5 (want to upgrade my n6)
-no stereo speakers
-no wireless charging
-the chin

Any deals yet for a Galaxy S7?

>>57652681
Thanks dude!. But are you sure most of the benchmarks i saw in jewtube, and also other places, put the s7edge over the note 5 but by not so much.

That made me think that if i already had the note 5 upgrading woud be stupid but since i only have a broken note 3 i am still torn between going to the s7 edge meme or the previously mentioned phone.

>>57650610
>>57649687

I like it a lot, basically just a more modern upgrade to my M8 (RIP). The speakers are significantly worse than the M8's though which is unfortunate.

>>57653553

Maybe the Xperia X Compact? New phone from Sony. It is 0.3 inches bigger, but Sony is , by far the best phone brand I've ever used.

>>57650793
NIgga you got a vendor rom. remove that shit

For >>57650041 or anyone else looking to get the OP3/T, I've owned the OP3 for almost 5 months now. It is one of the better decisions I've made.
I'm not a heavy user of apps or games, but I do use it for all of my daily tasks. Botnet/Google apps including Keep and Maps 24/7, Youtube hourly, Business Calendars, etc. Hardly any stutters and the only bug I found was having an unresponsive screen when I was at 800 hrs uptime. Rebooted the OP3, and it became so freaking fast again I couldn't see a single problem.

As for the screen, it's fine for what I use it for. I don't ever watch shows or movies on the thing so I don't really look for muh pixels.

Camera is fine. I'm big on snapchat (which works great on this btw, esp compared to my retired 5x), and even the quality there is better than my buddy's 6p. I don't expect big things from the camera though, as the video doesn't have OIS.

I got my sister and gf to buy this phone too and they came from a Galaxy 5 or 6 and the other from an iPhone 4s. Typical big upgrades but they're so happy I convinced them to.

Plus, the xda community is huge and having any down-the-road software problems will be addressed by either One Plus or the community.


>>57651624
?

how does the Honor 8 camera stack up to the Nexus 5X? Thinking about picking one up since I need SD but can't go back to not having a fingerprint reader.

Anyone here have GoogleFi/ProjectFi I looked into it back on launch and it seemed like a waste of time. But now it doesn't seem too bad, seems like they are doing more of the ting thing.

Just curious as to what you boys have to say about it.

Google Pixel vs Samsung S7 vs LG G5

Can someone help me decide?

My friend is offering to sell his z3 compact for 130 dollars. He bought it new and used it for a month before switching to Oneplus 2. If not, I think they're 250 new.

Another one I'm looking at is the zenfone 3 laser which costs 200. My brother has the zenfone 2 laser and it's a decent phone from what he says

Finally, Oneplus one. I can get one at a local computer store for 225 usd new. They've had it for a while and that's what I offered and they agreed despite the price tag being 250. Not a huge drop, but its still me saving 25 dollars.

Just ordered an OP3 coming from Lumia 920. Didn't get OP3 because budget and availability (am in Southeast Asia).

I am new to Android, should I flash the ROM etc.? Mind I just want a good phone that should last me for 3-5 years and software support (I know that Oneplus' update usually brings more bug, but at least they still update).

Also I read some threads ago about Micro G. Does it really work like Google Services?

Thanks lads.

Is there any way to make Android look like Windows Mobile? I mean not the tiles, but rather the dark colors.

How does Nexus 5 holds up for today standards? I know camera is shit, i also know battery is mediocre. While i don't care about camera quality too much, i wonder if N5 can hold up for a day (music playback, hour or two of network browsing, occasional communication).

I'd gladly buy something newer and with better battery life, but Nexus 5 design is pretty much flawless in my book. Seriously, i've never seen prettier Android in my life, maybe except milestone 1 in its times of glory.

What's the best phone for someone with only one hand?

So what's the new /g/ approved budget phone? My Moto G 2014 is starting to shit the bed so I'm looking to upgrade. I live in the US and will be using Straight Talk so a GSM AT&T compatible phone is what I'm looking for.

>>57656173
Something with a 3.5" or maybe a 4" screen.

>>57655596
No, you'll be lucky if the battery holds for 2 hours. if you buy a phone solely for its looks your'e a fag.

>>57656075
>>57656182
G4 play or Blu life one x2.

>>57656173
Any 5" phone should be fine.

>Any 5" phone should be fine.
I have a 5" phone and it's a struggle to use it one handed.

So my LG crapped out on me and they wouldn't take it back under the one year manufacturer's warranty because it had a tiny crack in the very corner of the screen. I've decided no more LG because apparently this mainboard issue is rampant across a bunch of their models?

I just ordered an Xperia X Compact. How much did I fuck up?

I've never really liked bigger phones, I don't see the value at all so I'm excited to back down to something that's a manageable size. I really liked the rear physical buttons of the G4, but I can live without it. I used an Xperia Z in the past and don't recall having any issues with it, except I seem to remember the Sony firmware being trash.

>>57656245
Then get an iPhone SE which is 4". or Xperia X 4.7".

Phone makers who don't put extra shit on on your phones?
Isn't Motorola good?

>>57648800
has anyone managed to find a waterproof case for the Zenfone 3 or should I just get a fucking S5/S6?

>>57653575
Let me try to help you

>amoled (burn in, I prefer ips)
modern amoled won't burn in

>only 5.5 (want to upgrade my n6)
yeah that sucks 4 u

>no stereo speakers
there is a mod for that now on xda

>no wireless charging
sucks too

>the chin
dbrand has a skin that, hides the glass panel (which breaks easily so a skin would be logical)
AND the more important it has the same google logo on the bottom bezel as it has on the back.
the matte white/black would look neat if you ask me.

I am thinking about buying the pixel xl too but I literally have to face the same problems.

>>57651289
i played with one of these in best buy, they're pretty wicked. The moto mods feel real good snapping on and off, and the phone instantly recognizes it no hiccup or lag or anything. The whole thing is smooth and sharp even the design of the phone itself. If i was willing to be a Verizon cuck I'd get one.

How the hell does one get a nexus 5x for less than $200? All the websites I check have it jacked up to ridiculous prices

>>57651289
get the battery add on, if not you'll regret getting this in a few days.

Sup guys stupid question here but still made me wonder mostly because if he wanted to do it he could have done it without me even knowing but who knows.

Having said that when i was about to buy a new S7edge the seller told me that he had to keep a copy of the imei for insurance or something. Now he told me that when i saw that he was going to cut a strip that had the same imei 3 times leaving one for me.

Is that true or am i being set up or something?.

How's the Honor 8 for multitasking, emulation, and general day-to-day usage? It's at a very appealing price point right now, especially for somebody who's finally ready to upgrade from a $20 LG trashphone.

>>57657481
It is definitely an upgrade but nowhere close to their Flagship Mate 9 or a OP3-T or an Axon 7

>>57657507
Considering that I was only planning on spending ~200 and am really pushing my budget to 300 to get the Honor 8, is there anything better in the price range? [spoiler]excluding chinkphones because i'm in the US[/spoiler] I want something that will last me for the next 3-4 years, at least.

Or am I overthinking this and should bring my budget back to 200? Not sure if I really need all the bells and whistles on phones these days, especially since I'm used to something that would take 1.5 minutes to load a browser and couldn't take photos.

>>57657584
Lenovo Zuk
Redmeme
Elephone S7/P9000
ZTE Axon 7 Mini
BLU Vivo

Check if the LTE bands fit yo Telco provider and you should be fine.

If you up your budget to $300+, get the ZTE Axon 7.

Finally got my JB back.

anyone have here experience buying phones outright from carriers?

i don't know why the reps always act so personally offended when i tell them i don't want to buy the cases, device cover plan, etc (because that's what makes their commission)

i get that they're retailcucks but damn why do they take it so personally? this was at corporate stores as well.
>one girl rolled her eyes at me when i tried to buy a phone without accessories
>one guy (looks like fucking gabe newell except fatter and uglier) just ran to the back and refused to sell me the phone, his face got so red when i told him im not buying accessories

carrier retail stores need to be phased out

Heard the 3T might be getting warm because of the "new" battery while doing demanding tasks but I guess we'll have to see,

>>57652660
the notification slider can't be reversed/customized right?
also, does the speaker distort at max volume?

>>57654230
thx for the reply, wasnt 100% on going for the 3T

>>57657481
Got the black 32gb one myself recently, upgraded from Lenovo S650.
Was deciding between this or mi5s both around the same price and the latter have the best android CPU currently, SD821 and better GPU, Adreno 530.
Gone with the Honor 8 because the mi5s hasn't left China officially yet and the Honor 8 has better camera and fingerprint sensor placement.
Been a week and shit's been amazing so far, no lags, smooth, sweet ass camera at the price and shit is very beautiful.
Slippery as fuck though due to the glass back so you might need a case.
The fingerprint sensor also doubles as a button you can assign shortcuts to.

Thinking of the OP3T, but if there is a better phone around right now i'm down. still using my galaxy s5 which i like but it's beginning to get old. I like the removable SD card but the removable battery doesn't mean anything to me.

>>57657895
>Retailcucks
>Self-explanatory

Get it online, ya primitive Tucker

>>57657956
i can't when it's out of stock online, i was gonna get the pixel xl.

also for phones like samsung galaxies that aren't available online, buying it at a carrier is the only reasonable way.

silly me thought it was a better investment of time to spend an hour at the mall potentially getting the phone, compared to being on waitlist online for weeks

i still shared my experience with the carrier's twitter DM and they said they're gonna "look into providing feedback to the employee", don't know what that'd do

>>57658023
>phones like samsung galaxies that aren't available online
nigga wut

>>57658044
yeah they aren't really available online

unless you want to buy those overpriced "international unlocked" phones

i guess you're talking about those carrier online stores

fyi i do buy phones online, 2/3 of my phones were Nexus phones bought through their online store

>>57658068
You're complaining that getting a Samsung phone from amazon or eBay will be usable on any network in the world rather than the carrier locked versions you can get from carrier stores?

Verizon web store has the S7E for $792, you can get it from eBay or Amazon for under $650 for the SD version, under $600 for the Exynos version. I have no idea what you're doing m8.

Would the OnePlus X be a good upgrade from the Nexus 4?

I don't care about fingerprint scanners, NFC, or anything like that, I just want a good looking phone with a good screen and microSD slot that performs on par or better than my Nexus 4 and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'd consider a Xiaomi but the button locations annoy me to no end. I could never use a Samsung for the same reason, although I also just don't like their designs.

>>57658189
i was talking about when i bought a galaxy s6 a year ago

don't know if the web store had it

i just called the nearest carrier store, asked if they have it in stock and sell me one outright, they said yes. girl rolled her eyes at me for not buying accessories (told her i already have them), but i paid the full balance with my card and walked out with the phone and receipt

the ones on amazon or ebay don't come with warranty. i can deal with carrier locked ones as long as they work with my carrier, and the unlock codes should be cheap enough if i want to sell it later

im in canada so it makes the story a little different

thinking back it was probably an impulsive purchase. i had the nexus 5, the nexus 6 was shit, and couldn't wait for what would've been the nexus 5x/6p release

>>57658192
No
Get the OP3-T or Axon 7
If you are going in cheap, try the Elephone S7
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Elephone-S7-MTK-Helio-X20-Deca-Core-Android-6-0-Mobile-Phone-5-5-Inch-Cell/32758778800.html

>>57658230
In Canada, same as anywhere else in the world, you should be able to get an unlocked phone, with a warranty, for a cheaper price online than you ever would in a B&M store besides some extreme sale. And you won't have to get your autism triggered by salespeople trying to sell you shit.

The benefits of going to a B&M store are interacting with the staff, having them advise you and being able to see/test whatever it is you want to buy. If this isn't important, online will always be cheaper, and there will be more availability as you can ship from anywhere in the world.

>>57658273
actually most flagship phones have exclusive deals with the carriers and such so that they're not available unlocked

why the fuck would i buy an ""unlocked"" model that's not even for my region, and doesn't come with warranty?

>And you won't have to get your autism triggered by salespeople trying to sell you shit.
it's not MY autism, it's THEIR autism. they act like i just triggered their deepest insecurities lmao

anyways, i tried to buy the pixel xl from a carrier store because:
>out of stock on google store for the past month
>carrier online store shows "3 to 5 days processing"

>>57657935
Thanks anon, I think I'll roll with the Honor 8.

Nice thing about buying a phone available in the US is that I can usually get it in a few days vs a few months, as well as having a safer/longer return period.

>>57658328
Not sure if you can get the New Huawei Nova in the US. You might want to wait for that.

>>57652574
have a (you) for sharing such a great deal

Giving someone a phone for Christmas.

>In the land of the burger

>$100-$180 budget

>Carrier: Cricket (AT&T); LTE coverage is important

>Min specs: Decent battery, camera, 2GB Ram, 5-5.5 inch screen.

G4 and G4 Play are at the top of my list, but want to know more options.

>>57655596
it fucking sucks. sold it after 6 months after buying it brand new upon release, because the battery is total shit

>>57658387
BLU Vivo

>>57658232
I don't like physical home buttons and I'm not trying to spend that much. Guess I'll check out the Elephone.

is the axon 7 worth $50 more than the honor 8? i was only looking to spend about $300 but ill buy the axon if its worth it. is the headphone audio on the axon 7 really good compared to other smartphones?

>>57658388
yeah m8 it had shit battery life, barely 3 to 4 hours screen on time.

not to mention it always fucking overheated, and the display brightness throttled because it's a LG piece of shit

LG never again. and nexus phones are LG's better phones too.

>>57658230
stop talking stupid nonsense mate. Just stop.

so i finally got out and tangibley tested some camera phones. I was leaning towards a nexus 5x or something similar but i have to say the galaxy 6 blew the other cameras in the same price range away. i have a s4 and its gone downhill, at a slow pace, the entire time ive had it.... dont want another galaxy but that camera, man.........

>>57658414
And apparently not that either. Why is it so hard to find a phone that's exactly the way I want? This has never been a problem with any other piece of technology.

Even if I had an unlimited budget, no phone fits all my wants. I wish it were as simple as building a desktop.

>>57650091
Priv

>>57658411
>BLU Vivo

Thanks m8. Seems very similar to the G4 but a worse brand and 5.1, though. I think I'd rather get the Prime Moto G4 and remove the botnet.

But outside of a Prime G4, that seems like a great phone for the money.

>>57658495
you're the one talking nonsense m8.

buying some international unlocked phone gives you no warranty, not to mention it'll be harder to sell used

>>57658507
what about the nexus 6p

>>57658414
But the Axon 7 doesn't have physical home buttons

>>57658435
Yes

Why shouldn't I get a moto X pure over a nexus 5x?

>>57658565
have you seen the camera work in real life?

>>57658608
i don't see a good reason 2bh

>>57658554
Both of those assertions are unequivocally false.

>>57658616
no but judging from what i hear, the nexus 6p is as good as or better than the galaxy s6

not to mention it'd probably be cheaper

it has the same camera sensor as the Google Pixel phones, except the pixel has way better image processing

>>57658626
sure m8, try to sell a yurop model phone on craigslist and i'm sure the normies would be all over that lol

if you're saying it's false, you gotta prove it

>>57658632
right on. thanks

Is the redmi 3s still good? I don't want a huge phone like the notes. It's currently on sale.

Never used a G5 - but i have a P9 plus and it is extremely good. Fast with a very good screen. Battery life is well over a day.

The LG G5 supposedly has a bad display, judging from the reviews and the display measurements

however when i looked at one in store, the display looked fine. a bit blueish, but colors looked accurate enough, like the chrome icon

i'd go as far as saying that it was the best display I've seen in a non-nexus LG phone

I have a 16GB iPhone 6s. Performance wise it's okay. I don't really play games on my phone so that doesn't matter. Camera is kind of shit but I don't take a lot of photos. My main gripe is the storage. I use the blue tooth to play music in my car and with the apps I use frequently that doesn't leave a lot of room for music. I would like to switch to a phone with expandable storage at some point. I would like to at least maintain the level of performance as the 6s.

To summarize:
>blue tooth audio streaming
>expandable storage
>Android
>comparable performance to 6s
>AT&T/US compatible
>not too expensive ~$500

Also I don't need this right away. I could wait
for prices to drop as newer models come out. Also feel free to tell me if I'm asking the impossible I don't understand smartphones beyond how to use them.

>>57657949
So the one plus 3t doesn't work on verizon... any other suggestions? Changing plans is unlikely.

Is that just a fingerprint sensor then? I guess that's an option, though still a bit more than I'd like to spend. Not sure I trust the brand, but I suppose I can return it if I need to.

Thanks.

Anyone else disappointed with the displays on Pixel phones?
>the default screen calibration is weirdly set to NTSC
>sRGB mode not available on demo models because it's in developer options
>lower binned AMOLED (aka not Samsung) so the phones have weird green or pink tints

For some reason, the regular Pixel looked better than the Pixel XL as well. The 1080p AMOLED display on the Pixel was very good despite being pentile

So, is a refurbished note 4 one of the best phones I can get for under $200 in the US?
I really want a good camera and battery, but I can't really find anything else in this price range.

lg g5? opinion?

>>57659230
Just skip. Get the V20 if you want an LG phone. The G5 is just a failure in every way

Are there any androids with unique features/gimmicks? The Yotaphone, for example, has an e-ink display on the back. It doesn't need to be super practical, just something kinda fun and different.

>>57659166
I've owned my Note 4 since black Friday of 2014, its good shit m8, two years strong and honestly its the peak of cellphone progress. People might reply with better specs of camera or cpu or more RAM, but there is nothing fundementally better than a Note 4 in that price range that also has a removable battery and sd card slot (highly recommend getting 3 batteries+3 chargers and 128 gb sd for ultimate note 4).

They're all so gaudy.

>>57659350
why doesn't any of them make removable batteries anymore? LG is about the only company that does it regularly now. What happened?

>>57659658
Cutting corners in construction for aesthetics.
A removable glass back on a phone likely wouldn't bode well for durability and would require additional designing and reinforcing that they don't care to do. The latter half would also go for metal backs. A sealed, solid metal back is much less to manufacture than a mid-frame, back, etc.

>>57659270

In what way is it a failure? Gimmicks aside, what makes it so bad?

If you want it just fucking buy it already

>>57661223
Different anon here about the G5, people say the P9 is better (other than larger battery and some camera shit that doesn't hold a candle to my DSLR anyway, I don't see how it's better) and that the G5 is a failure. I just want to figure out why, I want to make an informed purchase.

Where's a good place to buy a Redmi Note 3 Pro 2GB 16Gb for less than $120?

I tried FastCardTech because they had a $116 one but they started adding stuff like +$3 Paypal charge, Free shipping insurance stuff and others. With Coupons and discounts it became $118.

Should've bought it for less than $100 during 11.11

I really need to made a decision soon, /spg/. I basically don't buy phones without CM support. I'm really impressed with the Redmi 4 (not the Redmi Note 4), but for some reason there's absolutely nothing on XDA about it. However it has a Snapdragon. Can anyone explain? Is it expected to have CM soon?

http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4_prime-8263.php

>>57661330
Also /csg/ says the RN3P is shit, so what's a good phone for $120?

I've had my Galaxy s4 for 3.5 years. It's got a cracked screen and the power button is finicky. The performance with CM is fine, though, and I could potentially use it for a bit longer, but it's a bit embarrassing.

I guess I'm looking for a great BF deal in order to justify spending $300-$500 to replace a device that still works.

Phones I'm considering:
HTC 10 (/spg/ seems to love it)
Galaxy S7 Edge (overpriced, but also looks pretty, but have been feeling negative towards Samsung recently)
OnePlus 3t (Seems like a good deal -- downside: no sd card)
Redmeme (Downside: scared of getting chinked; I use Tmobile but not sure the 4g will work in Burgerland)

Do rubberized "sitckers" for smartphones exist?

I have Z5C and it doesn't really feel right in hands. Back is very slippery and so, i just got an idea: i'll buy large, universal screen protector, rubber coating spray, then i'll cut screen protector in right size and spray it. In result, i'll have removable, thin layer of rubber for comfortable grip. Does such a thing exists as a product? I'd rather just buy it.

Has anyone dropped his RN3P? It feels fragile as fuck

So, i'd recently ordered a zuk 2 pro from gearbest, and after almost a month of waiting they still have no idea on the availability of it and i kind of need to get a new phone asap. They've given me the option of canceling and refunding to the wallet with quite a bit of points added for the inconvenience. Problem is, after doing quite a bit of research the z2 pro was the perfect phone for what i wanted. I guess my first question is, anyone know long it takes for wells fargo to get a refund from gearbest? I suppose it's my fault for not using paypal, but waiting 7-14 days for my refund isn't very appetizing. And second, should i just scoop ZTE Axon 7 mini, or is there anywhere else i could get a zuk z2 pro for a decent price?

so what the fuck happened to the Blu R1 HD? It got rooted then an update locked the bootloader, then chinese spyware was found and the only way to get rid of it and get the Band12 support is to update?

I'm still using my Nexus 5, bought it almost two years ago.

The battery sucks (it always did, it's not degradation).
The camera sucks (both of them).
The storage sucks. I have the 32Gb model, I remember hearing that it's almost twice as slow as the already slow 16Gb model. System encryption actually lowers write speeds to 0.5MB/s, absolutely retarded.
It's getting quite slow relative to mid range phones nowadays.
The glossy letters on the back have fallen off (some did, I removed the rest to make it look uniform. it's nice and matte now, I don't mind)

But aside from that, it's a good phone. If I had a worse phone right now, I'd probably buy Nexus 5 for 50-70$. Anything more than that can get you a better phone from our chinese friends. I'm hoping they can sell me a Xiaomi Mi5/Mi5s or OnePlus 3/3T later on when I finally decide to switch.

And yeah, I'd say it's the second best looking Nexus phone, the first one being Nexus 6P, but it's a close first because 5X/6P are ugly from the front.

Any recommendations for a Nexus 6 replacement? Looking for similar sized phone with no budget in mind.

so how does the nexus 6 and pixel get away without having expandable memory?

G, Pixel 32gb or 128gb? Im planning on keeping it for 3years (kept my nexus 5 for 3 years)
128Gb would future proof but its 100$ more

Assuming prices were even, Honor 8 or Axon 7 Mini?

>>57663799
what kind of a question is that

>>57664016
Why do you want the pixel over other phones? Being serious.

Just got my mi5. Kinda like it but not being allowed to root is a bit shit.
Did the application which is supposed to be approved in 30 mins yesterday and nothing has happened.

>>57664350
Its either that or samsung s7 (what rogers stocks in canada)
I would want the nexus 6p but they cancelled my order.
The bloatware on s7 turns me off.
The expandable memory is the only thing that is making me question myself

Any idea how to restore files deleted with automatic cleaning in Redmi Note 2? Wondershare Dr. Fone didn't find the most recent raudio files from recorder.

>>57663559
Polite bump here, is geekbuy or bangood a reliable place to buy from? I'm just not sure about these chink sites now, Gearbest basically allowed me to purchase something that they didnt even have in stock and I find that quite alarming and a huge waste of my time. Is there any way to be sure these niggers actually have the phone i want in their warehouse? I mean is that really asking too much?

>>57664604
I ordered a Z2 Pro the day before yesterday from an actually expired flash sale on GearBest and received the shipping notification today without any complaints.

HTC 10.

>>57658966
RN3P.

>>57660713
>>57660892
No compatible cases because it's 2mm longer, otherwise they're the same. to fix notifications do this:

>>57661918
Wrong. Redmi 4 Prime is 1080p.

>>57661513
Because it literally just came out a week ago.

>>57663009
Yeah it breaks easily get a case and SP ASAP.

>>57663559
>>57664604
Cancel and get the refund. the other sites you mentioned but they all lie about items in stock so ask them before you order.

>>57663650
Blu R2 HD coming out soon.

>>57664088
Honor 8.

>>57664539
If you get the 128gb version, the only regret you will have is how much you paid. You probably won't fill up that space anytime soon.

Now that Oneplus 3T is out, is the 128gb version worth it for 40 € more price?

>>57664932
Do me next.

>>57662725

>>57662725
S7E>HTC10>OP3T>RN3P.

In terms of hardware, performance and features. I'd go with the HTC 10 because it's close to stock, good battery, good camera and no useless gimmicky features.

>>57662725
htc 10 for longer support and roms
s7e for edginess
op3t for longer support but no sd card slot
redmeme for redmeme if you want a cheap phone. Check the willmyphonework link in the op to see if the redmeme works with your provider.

Personally I'd take the htc 10.

LG G3 or Xperia XZ?

Money not an issue, but i don't really need more than what the G3 offers..

I need to replace my Note 4. I haven't browsed /g/ in a while or had any interest in smartphones, but it's Black Friday tomorrow so it might be the right time. What do I get?

HTC 10
>Pros: Good price, warranty, stats.
>Cons: Small screen, HTC = AMD of phone manufacturers.

OnePlus 3T
>Pros: Excellent price and stats.
>Cons: Some /g/entlemen claim it's low quality, has chinese botnet and shit customer service.

iPhone 7 Plus
>Pros: Security + productivity environment
>Cons: Hard for piracy on the air (no torrenting, file browsers) and potential planned obsolescence.

My main problem is that none offer wireless charging and I found my Note 4 port suffers some quite heavy wear and tear. I also like playing Chess on my phone using the S-pen, but no flagship seems to offer that.

I've never used iOS, so I'd appreciate some input from those of you who've used both and switched at some point.

>>57665809
you can't really knock iOS for planned obsolescence with the current state of Android OS updates (shitty)

that said, of those three choices I'd flip a coin between HTC 10 or OnePlus 3T. no headphone jack is personally a deal breaker

LG g3 is pretty bad, the screen is low quality, dim, and the hardware has hiccups with the QHD resolution

I would recommend the LG G4 as its dirt cheap on Swappa

>>57665839
I don't mind the lack of 3.5mm jack - I think they give you a dongle anyway.

I mostly care about:
1. Screen size and quality.
2. Productivity (Spreadsheets, learning apps, audiobooks, .pdfs on the bus/train/airport etc.)
3. Privacy and security. Sadly Android went downhill fast after its peak at 4.4.4. I'm sick & tired of Samsung/Google bloat, data miners and adverts.

Why the fuck do I need the Facebook app if I'm not a user?
Why the fuck do I need 3 browser if I want to use my favourite browser?
Why the fuck do I need an iris scanner (fortunately that piece of shit is dead now)?

Nexus 6p will go on sale at Amazon tomorrow at 6pm est. 64gb for 250 and 128 for 300.

I loved my lg g3 eventually after two years started having problems with it though but that most likely is due to me just taking general shitty care of it.

Is the LG G5 really that bad?

>>57666219
I think it's a great phone that fits me, held back from buying it cause of those bootloop rumors but I think it's not been that widespread to validate concerns. It's pretty cheap here 380€ now

>>57666153
faggot

>>57658554
I'm not the same person you were arguing with, but clearly you don't know shit.
You need some serious special brain damage to think you can't buy an international unlocked phone with warranty and that's without taking into account that you can sell that to pretty much anyone, it doesn't matter even which country they live in, in most cases.

>>57661968
Zuk is super AMOLED. Resolution isn't everything.

>>57661958
Zuk has an f1.8 camera with ois and eis.
It slaughters the op3 at low light shots.

>>57665141
more storage is always worth it, specially because it's something you won't be able to upgrade later on.

>>57655288
Zenfone 3 laser I believe it's the cheap version of the ZenFone 3, double check that mate.
I'm jumping from a Z3 Compact to a OnePlus 2, most people is really excited for the OnePlus 3T so I got a nice deal on a 2 with extra back plate and cable.
OnePlus 1 was great but I think you will feel it's outdated (even more than a Z3 Compact) and I don't know how are updates on that thing.

So a redmeme has finally made it's way into my possession.
It's not a huge upgrade over my Zenfone 2, although the smaller body+slightly bigger screen is a plus. It does work well with cricket wireless, but I can't speak for the LTE speed atm because loldatalimit.

Now, I'm looking to install a custom ROM simply because I haven't done it before. I'm mainly looking for a ROM that's lightweight and has good support. Is cyanogenmod a good replacement for MIUI, or is root+debloat the best option I have?

>>57666490
OP2 is shit ya dingus.

Hello, I just got my new Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus a few hours ago. When I took it out of the box I tried turning it on, didn't, thought everything was normal. I plugged it in and tried turning it on, again didn't work. I started to get worried a bit, but I left it for 10 minutes or so. After that I held the power button for about 10 seconds and the screen lit up. The notification LED lights up yellow, and the screen shows that the battery is at 50% and charging. Two seconds later it drops to zero and shows that it's charging again.
30 minutes later, it's still stuck at zero percent. I am using the original cable that came with the box, I tried using an original Samsung charger, a third party charger with Quickcharge 3.0, laptop USB port, powered USB port, nothing seemed to work. I'm gonna leave it overnight now, what am I supposed to do? Did I get anglo'd?

>>57663514
I won't say, I told you so. You will remember this post.

>>57666439
Just checked, 1+3 is AMOLED too, but the zuk z2 pro still has a much better camera.

Isn't that Sony?
They can't even call their phones waterproof anymore and they're prone to spontaneously cracking

I think Sony has been shit since their Sony Ericsson Era. I quite like HTC, but normies don't. Everyone in the UK has either an iPhone or Samsung.

>>57666999
im getting the lg g5 how fucked am i?

>>57667114
I've always wondered, how did Samsung get so big?

Touchwizz is really bad...

>>57658608
I'm considering getting a pure x too.
I'm having a hard time coming up with alternatives.
Comparing the specs, the moto pure x is larger, has higher screen pixel density, more ram, more internal memory, more front camera mps, and supports external storage.
They have the same processor.
The nexus 5x has a fingerprint scanner and android 7, but who cares. I'm going to root and flash anyways.

Where are you purchasing from?
Any other phones you were considering?

I have an iPhone 6s, and for your needs I think you'd like iOS. It just werks. Honestly though functionality wise I've had no problems with it. The biggest problem I have with mine was the price vs the specs.

As far as I know without root and exposed it can't be. The speakers are quite loud and decent, they don't distort that much
