i got to try the axon 7 "mini" today and that seems to tick all the boxes unless you guys can bring up any points against it. maybe slightly concerned with the UI if anything.

Honor 8 was also nice, and I, myself, prefer it, but it would be about $370 with tax, and there's some scrolling issues?

I'm going to see if I can find a nearby store with a Moto G4 Play ($150 model). on paper that also seems like a good choice.

I'm open to other suggestions, but since I did already try out the axon 7 mini in person, i'm more willing to suggest something i've tried myself than going off someone else's opinion, unless i'm told an alternative is significantly better.

I've just read the lenovo p2 review linked in the OP, I was considering getting this phone, the only downsides being the bad camera and the lack of type C input.
Also it's quite expensive in my country, 280€ is the lowest I could find it
Adding 50 to 60€ I could get the zuk z2 pro, with far less battery life, but better camera, and of course, better cpu. Both with oled display, essential
Is it really worth it for a casual like me? Or will the sd625 do the job anyway?

tl;dr: lenovo p2 vs zuk z2 pro
AKA snapdragon 625 vs 820 for whatsapp telegram instagram browser and NO GAMES

Why not consider the redmi 4 pro? Similar specs as the Lenovo P2 for half the price

I got a Zuk Z2 for 280CAD including the import fees.

The downside is that in order to get the play store to work, I had to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, then flash the OS to Lineage OS. It works OK now, but it crashes every now and then and I can't record video. Hopefully a newer version will improve things.

It's an amazing phone in terms of specs, though. The only thing it's missing is an SD card slot, but given that it has 64gb of storage, I don't think I'll miss it, myself. The other criticism that I have of the phone is that it has a glass back which can shatter AND reduces friction on surfaces; when I put it on a table and try to scroll, I have to be very gentle, for example.

It has a Snapdragon 820, which means it will see more third party support than other phones. That's probably the only reason why it has a Lineage OS variant.

Moto Gs are better if you want something cheap just for web browsing, videos, casual games and the like, Moto G2s usually go for about 50 dollars brand new and the G4 Play can be gotten for 100-130 if you know where to look (i got mine for 120 on walmart, target also often has them on discount), youtube playing videos only at 480p is an issue of the app itself by the way, back then (almost 3 years ago) i used to watch videos at 720p minimum on my shitty alcatel phone which had more or less the same specs as your phone albeit smaller, until they updated the app so it matches your screen resolution, yes i know this was a stupid decision but you can blame spics and poos for this as they were the ones who bought $30 phones and expected them to perform at flagship level, these retards were legitimately surprised that their pieces of shit couldnt handle videos at max quality without lagging, same with facebook and other normalfag apps.

I've had the same Galaxy S2 since 2011. Original battery is still rockin'. The phone still works perfect, but Android 4.1.2 seems behind-the-times... can't even group text. I don't know if it's because of weak specs, but it hangs and is really slow when navigating google maps and loading web pages - ads seem to bog it down. I'm definitely NOT a heavy user. Should I get a new phone?
>>
>>58445372
A phone with stock android but with a bigger battery? Dont buy another nexus/google phone ever again, the nexus 5x is pure bootloop shit as expected of LG, the nexus 6P has hardware issues that make it forcefully shut down at 35% battery and recently its been bootlooping as well, the pixel is even more overpriced than an ifag phone, has lens flare on the camera and faulty speakers, look up all these if you dont believe me, ironically the DOA nexus, the 6 is the only one without any shortcomings besides being fuckhuge.

I suggest a motorola phone or a chinkphone with official resurrection remix/CM builds.

Not actually thought about custom ROMs yet, all I'm looking to do right now is root it, but I'm seeing hordes of "followed the guide and now my phone is stuck in bootloop" or "can no longer get wifi" comments across a number of different guides.

I ended up with an S7 Edge(AT&T, SM-G935A).

Already rooted it, but I'm not sure what I can do with it, because all the custom ROMs are for a different type or something? I've never really owned a smart phone before, what kinds of things can I do? I would like to at least remove the bloat from it, and try to make it have as long a battery life as possible(by killing off unnecessary background junk), but I'm not sure how to proceed. Guides for this particular phone seem dry. Also the Knox thing is obnoxious, because it makes me re-input the wifi password each time I reset. My battery also drains a lot more ever since I rooted, and I don't know why.

Sure, there's frustration at times. It does stream internet radio well... and gives me the weather forcast. Camera is usable. Really, I only "need" it to be a communication device. It does phone and text perfectly well... email was useless on it 4 years ago, so I never even attempted that again... not that I miss it.

I recently had the "joy" of having to help my gf to set up something with her phone.

HOLY SHIT! WTF KIND OF MESS IS THAT?

How can anyone use that shit? Everything is backwards, the UI is utter shit and nothing works in any sane way. UI elements jump all over the place and wasted space everywhere.

So was it just some Sony fuckup (its an z5 compact) with some custom skin or is android actually that bad?

Is iOS better? Did blackberry at least fix the android distro they are shipping on their devices?

Because I fear that I will soon have to replace my Q10 (Most websites dont really work anymore on a small device and "mobile friendly" sites are even worse than a scaled down desktop site) and so far, I was looking forward to the BB mercury.

So I've found out that Eternal Team and HK Goldway of Aliexpress sells refurbished phones as brand new. This makes me think twice about buying more expensive stuff from aliexpress. I found out that FastCardTech offers Paypal services and I think it is better in disputes than aliexpress. What's a good shop to buy phones aside from FastCardTech that is not in aliexpress?

Returned my v20 because of the extremely dead dev community. Now that I got my refund I'm thinking of getting the pixel xl because it's the only new phone with an actual community.

But here are some main thoughts about the v20
>the headphone out/dac is legitimately non-memingly good. Competes with standalone $200 dacs/amps easily.
>snapdragon 820 finally brute forces 1080p 10bit h264 with animated subs without issues, and with only 60% cpu usage at that
>second screen is useless and annoying for "power users" not customizable at all
>Having used amoled for years I was happy to use ips again because no burn in. But the viewing experience was sub par even after professional calibration. If this is the best mobile ips has to offer amoled degradation is a fair trade off for the vastly superior viewing experience
>>
>>58449367
As a V10 owner, I actually like the second screen. Yes it's a glorified shortcut area, but I enjoy not being snagged from whatever I'm doing when I get a call. A small qol thing, but I enjoy it.

Also I haven't had burn in, but this screen retention is triggering me, and I worry the V20 will give me more of the same.

This Z Force and V20 are still giving me a quandary of which I want more.

Woke up this morning and my S7 Edge was fucking hot. And I mean really fucking hot. I've had hot phones before but it was super hot even through the case, and the mattress under it was hot from it.

What the fuck man. Am i about to get Note 7'd? It was plugged in with a fast charging cable overnight and wasn't even fully charged by morning also which was extremely odd, normally only takes 1 hour to charge.

Yeah I know, Samshit etc etc, but should I get a new cable just in case or straight up contact Samsung? I'm sure it's still under warranty

Fuck.
But there is something severely wrong when I have to scroll all the time on a 5+ inch display to get stuff done, that I can do without scrolling on a 3.5 inch display.
Android has an information density of about 0 it seems.
Also, the whole UI is lacking consistency, both in between apps, apps and the OS and the phone OS and general accepted UI paradigms on about any other OS.
Does blackberry at least skin their version to make it resemble BB OS?

The second question it gives me is "Choose your locale".
But it does not have Australia an option.

How to I proceed, Boss?
>>
Lol

Just read that the ZuK Z2 screen is actually not as good as the Redmi Note 3 Pro screen
>>
>>58450674
it's a touch oriented device and OS, there is no keyboard like with blackberry devices, so UI elements need to be bigger so you can tap things reliably and comfortably (like, look at your desktop pc keyboard, it's way bigger than a smartphone)

and maybe there is more scrolling with a smaller device like the z5 compact since UI elements are probably scaled up to have a reasonable physical size, my old 3.2" phone can fit very few UI elements on a single screen

I'm talking about the Q10, it's running an all touch OS and has no toolbelt/cursor.
I only use the keyboard for text input, 100% of everything else I do is touch driven, with my big fingers and I never mistap anything.
The screen is 2 times as big on the android phone, yet I have half of the information on it as on the smaller blackberry, which I still can use perfectly fine as a touch device.
This sucks.

Out of touch with recent smartphone development, so I hope you guys can recommend me something. I guess I'm looking for a budget phone.
It should be reliable for everday use and travelling, won't be used as gaming device and should have a good build quality.

>Country: Western Europe (but should be usable worldwide)
>Provider: prepaid SIMs
>OS: Android
>Features: good battery runtime (this is a must) and connectivity, decent camera, third party support (e.g. custom ROMs),
>micro SD and multi sim support would be a bonus but are not a necessity
>Budget: around 200€
>Size: preferably not bigger than my old Samsung which was "70.6 mm x 136.6 mm"

Also I would like to know if there are any decent phones with a non-glare display. I guess shiny displays sell better, but are sometimes hard to use outdoor.
I know I could always get a non-glare protector, but these are never as good as a factory designed nonreflecting display.

just looking at the FLOPS of the gpu it's most likely significantly slower at least in games (but this might not be noticeable if you don't play performance-heavy games), and the cpu cores at 1.5 GHz on the 617 are clocked lower than the 2.1-2.3 GHz cpu cores on the 800

I would strongly recommend the V20, it's an outstanding all-around phone.

Bunch of liars and support for a new phone lasts only for 3 months or until the release of the newest phone, which is in 3 months.

Umi is a shit company.
>>
>>58459965
Into the trash then. Was thinking of the Redmi Pro with X25, is that any good?
>>
>>58459278
It's pretty much an upgraded moto g4 play, or a sligtly downgraded g4 plus, i'd rather wait for the 8, that one seems worth every shekel, not everyone these days offers an SD slot.

I need a replacement for my Moto G1, it's getting kind of old. Is the Huawei Honor 6X any good? It's right in the middle of the $2-300 range I'm looking for and looks like it has decent specs.

My HTC One M8 is starting to get left in the dust after 2.5 years. I really liked the

>decent speakers
>microSD expansion
>5 inch screen
>solid as fuck construction

and it was fast. what's the cheapest phone i can get that can compare?
>>
>>58460191
If the 6X is a good choice depends on two things; which one you're going to get (3/32 or 4/64) and if you care about the camera.

Lets say you get the regular 3/32, the Redmi Note 3 Pro is more or less the same sans for the camera (Huawei packages good cameras even on their cheapest phones, Xiaomi's are dogshit even on flagships), it does have a shitload of third party support though, stock android>ios ripoff EMUI and it comes with a much bigger battery, an extra 2 hours SoT, all for a mere 150 american dollars.

The 4/64 one isn't worth the money unless you absolutely need that extra GB of ram and are too cheap to buy a 128GB SD card or just like relying more on internal storage.
>>
>>58460318
Tried putting a custom ROM on it? My OPO has the same SoC has your M8 and still easily handles everything I throw at it.

Anyway Xperia X seems to check all the boxes for you
>>
>>58460453
new to /g/, what's OPO and SoC?

XPeria looks pretty sick tho

Whats your burner phone /g/ ? In the market for one atm all I need is a sleek design and a fingerprint sensor
Currently thinking of picking up a redmi note 4 prime, any other recs? Stories?
>>
>>58460515
OPO = Oneplus One

SoC = System on Chip, basically the the phone's CPU and GPU + modems and other stuff, in the OPO and M8 it's a Snapdragon 801. It's Qualcomm's old flagship SoC but it's still more powerful than what's in a lot of the current budget phones
>>
>>58460449
You can get the Redmi Pro (aka Note 4 for some reason) at $169, significantly better specs and all that than the Note 3.

Lol no, SD650 is pretty much a SD810 without none of the overheating stuff, RN3P is THE chinkphone.

>>58460658
Don't listen to this retard, RN3P or 6X.

Interesting. So the Pure version only works in the states?

So do you have a single piece of evidence that the X20/25 is worse than the SD650 other than meme arrows and "but it's a meme!"?

Moto G4 Play or Nextbit Robin?

Need something to tide me over for a few months but don't want to spend too much.
>>
>>58461264
I'd get the Robin solely for the specs but that shit is built like one of those toy phones that play the dk smile butterfly song when you press a button, not even joking, it might not last you even a week without the thing bending.

The G4 Play is pretty solid and has an sd slot, but is way, way weaker, i'd say get it if its just a stopgap.
>>
>>58461003
S5 + non-touchpizz custom ROM

Did you check your operator's website?

Give me three reasons not to buy the Moto G4 Play.

>>58461456
Yeah, I saw one for AT&T, but not T-Mobile. I'd like to see what bands for 2G, 3G, and 4G are supported where. Also sometimes roaming.

I have the Galaxy S5 at the moment. Been thinking of going for the Oneplus 3T but not sure if I should wait till midway through 2017 to see if they release a Oneplus 4 or not.

What does anon think, bite the bullet and get the 3T or wait and see?
