how shit is huawei in terms of updates

my 4 year old galaxy s3 started to behave strangely, sometimes it just flashes the display and turns off with 30%-40% of battery left. Today it happened with 67%. My on-screen time became shit, like 40 minutes tops. This all happened gradually over last half a year so I didn't pay attention at first. Will battery replacement help?

Okay so it seems like the touchscreen of my phone is kill. See pic related for a test. I dropped it from about two meters height. It was in a case.. is there a way to fix this or is it kill? That shit is annoying af..

Why should I buy a smartphone when I can buy a tablet and use it with earphones/mic

>>57667660
No you poor neet. get a job and buy a new phone.

>>57667994

Ok guys the moto g4+ and the zte axon 7 are the two phones I have been eyeing, I might lean towards the moto g4+ but I am not sure

If anyone has any other recommendations please let me know

>>57667660
doesn't sound like a battery problem if the screen is flashing.

You can give it a try and get a new battery, they aren't that expensive. But I think you have a hardware fault.

>>57667963
It's a chinkphone and there are no videos about screen replacement or support for it..

>>57668031
>Pokemon go
HAHAHA

>>57667963
>>57668070
Serves you right for not using a case and screen protector.

>>57668031
Axon is miles better.

>>57668102
I use a screen protector and case. The screen isn't broken not a single crack or dent in the body. Just a part of the screen doesn't react....

>>57667560
QUICK WHICH IS BETTER OP3T or XPERIA XZ

>>57668156
what phone?

>>57668073
>HAHAHA

So?
>hurr durr game is ded

My ass its dead, my park always has pokemon go players, even before the updates.

>>57668121
>Axon is miles better

Hmm, I also came across moto X pure, any thoughts or no?

Who fell for the /pixel/ meme

I secretly love it. Except the price...

Also Battery life is shit tho and the bezels make me angry, and the speakers are shit.

>>57668244
The battery on the pure is trash and SD808 is overheating crap.
SD820 on the Axon is far better than SD617 on the G4 too and the audio quality is superb.

>>57668352
Yeah, I will most likely go for zte axon 7, do you think the 4gb ram/64gb storage will drop down father than 350? (50 dollars off already)

My m4 aqua broke and i sent it in to carphone warehouse to get fixed as it was coverd under the manfacturer warranty. They couldnt fix it and gave me a Galaxy s6 128gb brand new as a replacement, I'm chuffed.

>>57668445
Probably not this year.

>>57667989

I hope you get hit by a bus as you try to catch a mewtwo in the middle of a highway, fucking stupid twat.

Carphone Warehouse currently have some decent deals on S7E and Xperia XZ. £31/mo for 5gb data and unlimited everything else. Not sure to buy or wait for the OP3T release on Monday

>>57668340
who, HTC?

>>57668328
Okay thanks alot m8. But still this would be my first diy screen replacement. It's has a glass back. Do you think I can do it the same way as the Xperia phones?

Fucking dropped. How am I supposed to masturbate with this shit? Fuck, what phone do I get? I already had an s7 edge and I fucking dropped it on a glass scale which fucked the screen glass up.

Can I use axon 7 on Tmobile in the US?

>>57668649
>Mewtwo isn't in the game
Well that's pretty fucking gay, I don't know why you even bother wasting storage space with that stupid program

Does anyone have the LG V20? How are they liking it?

>>57669073
just get a regular s7 it has the best screen for watching porn and VR porn

>>57669073
My other choices are
LG G5
HTC 10
Blackberry Priv

I need a big, beautiful phone with a good camera and hopefully good custom rom support

Flashed a custom ROM for the first time on my RN3. Is flashing SuperSu worth it when CM has root built in?

Mewtwo will be released apparently on new years eve at popular places through out the US.

Well you guys tried to warn me, I've got the LG G5 2 weeks ago and already there is a technical problem. My G5 can read my sim card but there is a error where it won't recieve or send out calls and texts and won't activate the data. It'll work on other phones though no problem.

Now I have to send it out tomorrow. If It wasn't passed the 15 day return policy I'd return this piece of shit. I'm so disapoint in myself /spg/

Is the zuk z2 a decent upgrade for me? I want a better camera, battery life, and performance without spending too much.
It'll be ~500 aud for me, almost half the price of the HTC 10.

Are there any good batteries out there? Sometimes use my phone with without having time to charge so a second battery would be good.

When you people ask about a certain phone's update-abily why don't you just assume to be able to put cm on it?
Is it about warranty?

>>57673396
ive had a s4 since 2013, the camera was great then, i still have it and it sucks ass now.

>>57673413
I have the S4 currently. The main camera is fine for my purpose, The front camera.... not so much.

>>57672803
Is yours the regular or the pro?

I've never dropped my phone before so I should be fine.

>>57673398
Zuk z2 has a better camera though...
Or iphone, or s7, or pixel, if you don't mind spending even more.

>>57673445
Regular

>>57673463
I'm looking at the pro, which should be a bit more durable thanks to the roll cage.

>>57673462
Zuk z2 pro is probably better in low light by a little, but the axon has more MP.

>>57673462
well youre talking about a 300$ difference.

Cheapest 820 chipset phone available with a headphone jack.

Can you root and install stock android on the axon 7?

Is it true the SD 821 is more "efficient" than the 820 and that it heats up less?

axon 7, oneplus 3t, p9 plus, or honor 8?

Is the Nexus 5X still a good phone or should I save up for the OPT3?

>>57674416

But yes, it should be smooth.

Is 128gig a meme or is it actually more usefull than 64gigs

>>57674465
>>57674483
fuck
didnt mean to reply to u, sry senpai

>>57674483
Zuk z2 pro is 128GB too and should be a little cheaper. Mi5s is 64GB only iirc.
Pretty sure zte axon has a micro SD slot though?

>>57671215
Yeah it is. Watch some speed tests on yt.

>>57671215
It's actually better iirc, but less efficient too

>>57673377
Literally would not bother. Either spend $100-200 on a Canon dedicated camera or buy a flagship. Look back in ten years when everyone has 5000 megapixel cameras and you have grainy low res photos of your best memories and regret it.

>>57672788
that's a shame, the nova looks pretty nice desu.

I guess I'll have to look for another phone then.

i really cant afford to buy flagship things all my money been wasted on motorcycle shit lately

a5 costs around 200 euros here while a flagship samsungs are 500-600 euros so if a5 can deal with browsing web and watching videos its all the requirements for me

Got a question. My Nexus 6p just froze, made a HORRIBLE buzzing sound for about 30 seconds, wouldn't respond to any buttons, then reset. It also felt extremely hot when I picked it up. I wasn't doing anything taxing on it when it happened, just watching a YouTube video. I googled the issue, found a few links of people complaining about similar problems with si ilar phones, but no real answers. What gives? Any idea

>>57674850
How much is the zuk z2 in euros?
Or the redmi note 3 pro prime?
Or the LeEco Le 2? Or the Le max?
Or an Oukitel k6000 pro?

>>57674850
Large screen. Color accurate, vivid, great viewing angles. Great for watching videos.
Also large battery that lasts a very long time.

Also cheaper than that samsung.

I have a ZenFone 2 Laser, any phone in the 200-300 euro range that is considered a good upgrade over it?

I just dropped my Nexus 5 and the screen went to hell. I want a phone that runs stock Android and will be able to play idolmaster. I'm not really convinced on chinkphones. Anything decent I can get with 200 USD?

For the realm of $180-$200, which is better, LG G4, or Note 4?
I'm looking for camera quality, battery life, and call quality/loudness and reception.
I'm not a fan of either one's size, but the note 4 has the spen, and the g4 has ergonomics and either one of those things will probably ease me into it.

(note: the note 4 has the SD 805, not the exynos)

>>57675584
>buying 32 bit Android devices in 2016
Zuk z2, or save up.

>>57675645
I mean, when all I do on my phone is messaging, making calls, taking pictures, and watching the occasional video, why would I need 64-bit?
Both cpus are quick enough and I couldn't even use up the 2 gigs of ram on my current phone, so 3gb of ram is fine.

>>57675684
Because those 64 bit phones have newer parts that are better in every single way?

S7 camera destroys note 4 camera for example.

>>57675703
I mean, I just need an upgrade from my note 2 and these being <$200 unlocked, not on contract are pretty tempting, especially since the example you gave is hardly even close to that.

>>57675728
Well I'd say g4 then, just because I had a g3 and knock code was the comfiest

How big of a problem is this ? MX mum wants to buy the nexus 5x and noe I'm not so sure anymore that this is a good idea.

Just bought a V20 for $300 to replace my Nexus 6. Honestly I'm not very excited because I use my front facing speakers a lot. The heavily skinned Android isn't my thing either after using stock for so long.

I'm seriously saddened by how badly Google fucked up the Pixel.

>>57675888
Nexus phones stopped being worth it after the nexus 5.

Buy her something nice like a note 5

Can I still buy a Nexus 6P? Am I an idiot for considering it?
I've been thinking about getting one to buy to use with Project Fi, and I'm thinking it should still be supported relatively well on XDA after official support drops for it .
All I see on https://store.google.com/ is Google pushing the new Pixel phones

I was looking at deals since it's Black Friday. Looking at Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro vs. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Pro. The main difference seems to be the CPU (Snapdragon 650 vs 652). Is it worth the price difference?

What's the price difference? The note 4 has a better camera.

>>57675933
Actually fuck Redmi Note 4 Pro. No stock android roms on XDA.

Can I put stock Android on Z2? I can't even find a section on XDA for this lol

i need a ROM for my galaxy s5. which would you say is the most lightweight, most debloated one?

>>57675994
Yeah it's got a bunch of roms like resurrection remix or cm14.

>>57675888
Jesus Christ I'm still too sleepy to type on my phone.

>>57675899
Far far too expensive. She wants something in the 300€ price range. I thought the nexus 5x would be a good idea because clean android and updates.

>>57675933
I think I'll go Redmi Note 3 Pro. I won't have to spend all of my alloted budget plus it seems to have decent support (at least it's on CM supported list) for custom ROMs.

Thinking of falling for the 598 meme. Can a galaxy s3 provide sufficient power, or would I need some kind of portable amp?

Is 2Gb ok enough for a budget phone? I don't play games that much, only psp and ds emulators.

About to buy a Redmi 3s for use in EU. willmyphonework tells me it should work with most bands. Is there anything else I should consider before buying?
I would never have found this phone if not for the /spg/-buying-chart

>>57676526
Redmi 3s has a 4g bug, buy the redmi 3 pro instead, or an oukitel k6000 pro if you want a 1080p screen.
Should be similar price

Do you guys think that the Redmi Note 3 Pro will get cheaper once the Redmi Note 4 Pro with SD653 and dual cameras arrive this December? If the RN4P with 2Gb RAM is around $140, I guess the RN3P with 3Gb RAM will be around $115?

Xperia XA or LG G5? They are the same price

>>57676538
I'll look into the 3 pro. Thanks

How does /g/ deal with phones that generally get "10/10!" from thousands of users and then a dozen or less "1-3/10" with several paragraphs explaining why which MOSTLY sounds reasonable and some can even be verified with some googling?

I either think:
A: They are fucking clueless and/or whiny
B: They got a faulty product
C: They are the only ones who actually knows what's up aside from the mindless drones and shills spamming 10/10

It's extreme hard to discern which category they fit into early in a products life though. I simply have to wait a month or something to have enough data speaking against their claims. Site reviews are overall too general in their articles.

How do you do it /g/ ?

Op3t 128gb at $480 or HTC 10 at $500?

>>57676877
I don't trust 10/10 reviews. I'd rather look at reviews that are very critical and roam in the 5 points area. From there onwards I can make my own judgement. But if the 1-3 stars reviews are getting more and more numerous then there might be really a problem there, but remember that the dissatisfied customer is far more likely to voice his opinion online than a satisfied customer

Is the redmi note 4 really that great? Should I just order one from aliexpress, or are there any better sites?

i have samsung galaxy s5, and i wanna flash a custom rom on it.

however i read that i have to unlock bootloader to do it. i have no idea how to check if its locked or not nor how to unlock it.

wait is it the 128 gb model that releases the 28th? it seems i can order the 64 now. is it that its not shipping until the 28th?

This note 7 fiasco was amazing to me

The first note 7 I got I used it for the promotion for the 256gb SD card, got it and then the recall came
I used the Recalled note 7 IME to get a second SD card, got accepted but had to turn it back in

Exchanged it for an LG V20, LG gave me $200 as a promotion for the exchange, and bang & Olufsen's earphones (about $150)

As far as the v20 goes, I like it a lot (not as much as the note 7), besides some hiccups and one hard crash everything worked pretty well.

>>57677332
i really want the v20 for removable battery and external storage but the op3t has more internal memory, ram, and battery capacity, plus its way cheaper.

>>57677134
Just run kingaroot or one of those Chinese bot apps on it. If it works, odds are the boatloader isn't locked. Samsung has been pretty good with leaving them unlocked unless you like in burger land.

If you root it successfully then change to chain fire, install custom recovery image and then flash the rom through twrp

Anybody has experience dealing with Fastcardtech?

It looks like they have good priced Mi4c and Redmi Note 4 but internet reviews say they send refurbished/damaged units.

I'm scared of getting chinked.

>>57677440
What's the fuss about removable battery? Why is that a big deal for so many people?

>>57677957
For me it's a last resort if my phone stops responding. No matter if the powerbutton works or not, you can always remove the battery,

>>57677592
so if kingroot gives me "root failed" probably means the bootloader is locked. wonderful.

that will be the last samsung for me then.

I don't think you can get much smartphone for 70€. Maybe take a look at the cheapest Lumias

Help me anons i need help
bought a Moto G4 and my headphones dont work
tried to push it in fully but i doesnt work
and if i push only half of the cable i can hear sound but not in a good quality
any ideas how to fix it or is it hardware issue?

>Country, carrier
USA, T-mobile

>Budget
Below 550 USD

>Size
Do not care

>Features
Only REALLY care about the phone not dying after 2-3 years, a nice camera and expandable storage are a plus, but I would rather pay more for longevity

>>57678451
Great now I need to start my search all over again
Thanks though

So I've noticed that adaway and adblockpro slow down browsing on my phone down to a crawl for like half the websites I visit.

As soon as I disable it browsing is lightning fast again.

What do? I want adblocking but I don't want websites to take 30s to load or not at all.

I don't understand why sony thought it would be a good idea to make their x compact glossy plastic. Looks and feels like shit and it scratches easily.

>>57678528
As far as I can see the Redmi 3 Pro is only a little more pricey.

What is a good site for ordering an Oukitel K10000 to a European country? I live in Norway, and I want to get it to my door by the 16th of December.

Most of the sites I come across by simply duckducking seem like potential swindles. Anyone here who can recommend and vouch for a site?

And oh by the way, god damn, dat battery
>tfw 10 000 mAh
>tfw my MacBook has a 6520 mAh battery

inb4 different power consumption electrical engineer "ACTUALLY"bullshit. It's still sick for a phone

>>57678556

or just use ublock

>>57678562
sony is run by retards and has been that way for decades now

>>57678694
give me the z5 compact style with the 650 processor and I'm good honestly. But that x compact, I just tried it in a store. While it's really comfy to hold one handed it just feels so cheap.

>>57678694

>battery blows up
>you ded

>>57678621
Yeah I don't get how some phones have 4000mah batteries or even 10ah but laptops struggle going over 10ah. Is it because batteries with power power requirements can be made denser or something?

>>57668248
I wanted to buy it but the bezels are a bit too big and it has on screen buttons

>>57678741
I don't really get it either man, but I guess there is some consideration to be made around Charge vs. Current vs. Volts. If laptops run off a higher voltage, those mAh might translate to more power, or energy, in the end.

I'm about to order off of Everbuying right now, any reason why I shouldn't?

Is it smart to buy a op3/t if I don't care about flashing ROMs?

What are the major reasons to AVOID chinkphones?

I know plenty of people have them around here so I'm not trying to stir up shit but what are the downsides?

All I've heard so far is:
>Chink botnet (still don't know any reason why botnets are gigantic boogey men around here, as if you have a choice with any smartphone)
>Difficult to get a new one on the warranty, if any
>Less community support
>Difficulty to fix due to lack of spare parts

Assuming I want to keep my next phone for at least 3 years, is having a removeable battery something I need to consider?
My ONLY options are the G5, P9, and (in a very thin stretch only if both the G5 and P9 are total shite) an S7. I also heard that the G5 has a really weirdly dim screen but I don't know if this is a real-life issue or just number crunching. Can any of you anons suggest which one I should pick, and maybe a short explanation or list as to why?

I'm upgrading from a Galaxy Grand 2 which is the only smartphone I ever had.

Bumping question,

does anyone have a suggestion for a T-mobile compatible phone that won't shit the bed?

>>57679080
If you're a USfag, then you generally don't get good 4G/GSM support for these phones. Plus shipping to the states is an absolute nightmare, since the chink websites usually don't have US warehouses.

Also, if you decide you don't like the phone in 5 days, you're SOL, unlike if you bought from Amazon or fucking Newegg or whatever. Also, if you're an Android novice, you might have more troubles rooting the phone to replace the buggy vendor rom.

Otherwise, I can't really think of much else, but it was enough for me to find a phone available in the US instead of going for the Zuk like I originally wanted.

If you're a Eurofag only half of this may apply

Is there a phone that has stock Android, a 5.5" or bigger screen that's IPS, and is under $500?

What benefits (other than customization) does rooting my phone provide?

>>57676394
Of ram? Sure it's good. If you're talking about rom then don't even think about buying this shit.

>>57679832
access to shit you can't normally access, which is why xposed modules work
if that means nothing to you then don't root

>>57679685
Is the 5X (or 6P on sale) an IPS display?
but if you're willing to deal with near-stock or flash CM, then you've got options I'm sure

Is the moto g4 good? He is on sales right now at 160€. I currently have an Xperia z1, I'm ok with it but he is in a very bad state so I need to change it. I'm a yuropoor and I don't think I want to spend more than 250€

>>57669211
Can't even find it around me in columbus, best buy and verizon are out of stock with no idea of when they will get it (for past month). Looks like I have to pick between the overpriced Pixel or somewhat old S7...

>>57669473
Verizon has an ok deal if you like iPhones or the S7 (maybe pixel).

>>57672534
just google it, I did a bit ago, sounds pretty similar, probably just get whatever is the better deal.

>>57676877
Most kids just text and facebook, so obviously they are happy with the phones. Plus tons of people review it after a day or two, and since it's new it's fast and awesome.

>>57677957
I have a note 4, after about a year the battery stopped holding as much of a charge and dying around %15 battery, it got so bad it would die at like 40%, no big deal though, I can just replace the battery for $15. If my S7 does that after a year or two, well, it's going to be a bigger pain in the butt.

>>57678020
Like he said, if you live in the states, pretty much all of them are locked. Google the crap out of it and sometimes you can find a way around it. Rooting and custom FW never really helped me much, except when they stop supporting the phone and you get no more OTA updates.

Alright Girls and /g/oys, here is my honor 8 review (personal blog edition).

So today T-mobile called me on my iphone 4s which I was using while my htc m8 is being repaired.
The guy on the phone told me that "you know it's black friday today and we have some phones for you dirt cheap". Told him that I'll be there in like 20 minutes. Looked up the list of phones, they have. Le-I-already-know-every-phone-on-the-list face. Decided to ask him about the galaxy s7 and the honor 8.
The guy told me the prices,
the s7 would've cost me 70% more monthly, I don't feel samsung phones anyway. So i bought the honor 8.

Pros:
>It's nice
>I mean it is Very Very nice (I bought it in white, blue is a bit off for me tho)
>It's proper fast
>Good balanced weight
>feels alright in the hand
>screen's nice too
>cheap
>can make calls
>easy and cheap to repair

Cons:
>glass panel on the back breaks easily, I heard
>"It looks like an iphone" - A normie-slut friend of mine
>"HONOR"

U decide:
>emui

>>57680899
I like my honor 8 a lot, mostly. I'm having trouble getting all the shit I wasnt displayed on the lockscreen. I'll root and fix it eventually.

In any case, make sure you setup the back button. It's the best thing since gestures.
>Swipe down/up to show/hide notifications and settings
>Swipe sides for image browsing among other things
>Click for one function (I have flashlight)
>Double click for another
>Hold for a third

I got hardened glass on both front and back + a actually fitting blue frame protector so the shiny stuff isn't hidden away in plastic shit. Just don't get a TPU clear case or anything, it will ruin it. I tried.

>Looks like an iphone
How can normies eve mistake it for an iph-"I got it white" oh right.

It got some early stage Cyanogen for it as well as of now. Hopefully something stable will emerge. We also got a big chance to get Nougat.

So yea, I like it too and the EMUI shit is hidden behind Novalauncher so eh.

Probably, I haven't tried that many other apps as I keep forgetting it's a thing to swipe left and right on it.

My phone's headphone jack is kill, doesn't even detect when I put my headphones in, any way I can fix it?
Or what can I use for playing music, what good and cheap option do I have to get a device that I will use for music playing?

Any decent phones able to be bought for £100-200~ today?

Looking at the K6000 Pro for being semi decent with good battery life.

LG V20, HTC 10, or Pixel XL?

I do a bit of vidya on the phone, and I want something bigger than 5.1" (my previous phone, which is kinda small for my giant man hands).

I like the specs on the V20, but that secondary screen looks obnoxious. Can you turn it off when you're using some apps? Also cautious about the potential bloat on LG phones.

>>57673436
>Quad HD AMOLED on a bright white OS
>good battery life

hearty kek

>>57675888
Nice trips

Nexus 5X has a great camera but shot battery life.

I wouldn't be afraid of the bootloop issue. It's rare and LG acknowledges it, so you can always get a full refund if it happens. >>57682751
I would go for the HTC 10, but if you want a big screen the Pixel XL might be better for you.

I don't trust LG anymore, there have been bootloop issues on their phones since the LG G3. At least they offer full refunds if you experience the problem.

Any suggestions for a good android browser with ad lock and tab controls along the bottom of the screen? Firefox has good ad lock but I hate that the tab controls are at the top of the screen rather than the bottom, since I have tiny baby hands.

>>57683109

Bq Aquaris U plus 2/16 or Meizu m3s 2/16 ?

Best value chink phone at the moment. Get the 3 GB version and put CM on it.

>>57684431
Unfortunately, it's not for everyone. There are way too many retards out there who think they can follow a simple guide but would fuck that up by not reading the giant text in red saying "don't flash if you have [this] version"

I haven't had a phone since 2012. Now I have money and am looking to buy one on Verizon. What do you guys recommend? I have 3000 in the bank.

Is there any catch about Xiaomi Mi Note 2? I really like curved screen meme purely for aesthetics, but I don't want to overpay for Samsung S7, get dated hardware with S6, or burn my house down with note7. Never even considered china phone before so I'm hesitant.

>>57684732
is the s6 really that dated though?

>>57684849

I heard software was an issue from a few reviews

Alright /spg/, I need your opinion.

Was unemployed a few months ago when I bought my Oukitel k6000 pro, but I've recently found a job and been working for almost a month now.

Because I've got an income now I want to buy something better, I've been really eyeing the zuk z2 pro, mainly because I love the design and it's got a good camera and great specs.

Some things I like about the zuk z2 pro are
>much better camera than my k6000 pro, especially in low light
>1080p screen with SD820 should have amazing performance
>lots of ram and high speed memory
>home button done right, fuck you apple.
>much cheaper than any good phone I can buy local (Ausfag)
>5.2 inch, comfy to use with one hand

Things I don't like
>usb type c, I'll need to replace all my micro USB that I keep as spares
>it's thin, I'll need a case. Also glass back looks great but could crack.
>it's got a lot of storage, but now my micro SD card is redundant
>gets great battery life according to reviews, which I don't doubt thanks to the combo of SD820 and 1080p amoled screen, but they tend to have different use cases so it's not the most accurate and it does have a much smaller battery than my k6000 pro

things I'll miss from my k6000 pro when/if I upgrade
>the weight is really reassuring in my hand and pocket
>6000mAh battery
>all metal build feels really nice in my hands
>use it without a case, have dropped a few times with zero damage to the body or screen. It's tough.

I really want to upgrade, mainly for the camera, but I just feel really bad/guilty upgrading so soon after getting my k6000 pro. Usually my phones last 2 years or more, my previous was a nexus 5 before this k6000 pro.

What do I do? This is killing me.

>>57686320
You could use both

>>57686552
I only have one sim though, and that would mean carrying around 2 devices.

I'm just horrible at making decisions, so this is stressing me out.

If my k6000 pro had a better SoC and camera it would be perfect. But as it stands, the ov13850 is already being held back by the mtk6753 SoC...

>>57686321

It's not about the money, it's more of a moral dilemma, I haven't had the k6000 pro for long but I want something with a better camera.

401 ppi at 1080x1920
16 mp front cam
sd 821 2350 nhz
6 gb ram
128 gb storage
no micro sd
3400 mah battery

honor 8 is cheapest but better screen, slightly more battery, and i think better camera with zte axon 7. idk if dual cam is a meme. or most battery and internal space but no micro sd with oneplus 3t.

what to do?
i'm buying at least one tonight or tomorrow.
need to get my gf a phone too. so could get one of two i suppose.

I fucking hate Google but their keyboard and browser are the only decent all-round option on android.

mAh is a dumb way to measure battery capacity. Amps*Voltage*Time will give you energy, voltage drops from its peak down to a minimum usable level whilst current depends on usage, hence its use at estimating battery capacities. Phones run at 4-5V and laptops generally 9V or higher, so you can't really compare directly between them, many laptops will quote energy capacity in Wh (energy) which is a more sensible way to represent battery power delivery.
