ZUK Z2 or a Mi5 Pro?

I'm looking for a budget phone (not more than 200€) that is relatively small, has a good battery and is reliable.

So far the Xiaomi Redmi 3 phones seem to fit my expectations the best, but there are so many fucking versions.
There's the 3, 3s, 3s Prime, 3 Pro and even a different version of the 3S with more RAM and internal storage.
From what I've gathered so far the first three are just consequent updates with the 3 Pro the only one that offers 4G LTE support for only an uprice of 34€ to the normal version.

Can somebody confirm this, has experience with it, or does own any of these? Also if anybody knows, hows the custom ROM support for them?

Is it worth to get an Xperia X Performance over the normal Xperia X?

I wanted a cheaper phone so I decided to go for the Xperia Z3. Some kind anons told me it's a stupid idea and just pay the 70€ extra for the X.
After reading up on everything I saw that it's not dust/waterproof.

Now the X Performance is dust/waterproof and also has slightly higher speccs, like a better battery, better processor etc, only real slight differences.
After watching videos comparing the Xperia X and the Performance, it looks like you pay 100€ more just for the dust/water resistance because most other shit seems identical, despite the slightly better specs.

Am I wrong here, is there something I don't see? Because 330€ for the X would be okay for me but paying 430€ should at least make some notable differences.
>>
>>58468407
Launchers barely use any battery. How often are you sitting on your phone's homescreen? If you want customisability then get Nova launcher
>>
>>58468569
Snapdragon 820 is overkill for 95% of the things you do on your phone and it uses more power, so battery life will be less on the X performance compared to the X. I'd take the X Performance only if you
1. Play a lot of demanding games
2. Really need the waterproofing

Otherwise pick the X

>>
>>58468776

Don't need the waterproofing really, except for sometimes when it rains of course, I'm not sure how much the droplets get into cracks and can fuck with your system?
Also they talk about being dustproof, does this help in any way with the longevity of the phone like heat build up increasing over the years or something like that?

Other than that, no, I only play the occasional mobage, nothing big and fancy.

Original (shit)poster here. Could anyone give me an actual explanation of how the Zuk Z2 manages to be this cheap? I get that it has slower storage than the OP3, that QC isn't up to par with companies like Apple, that they didn't spend cash on advertising and that they cheaped out a bit on the screen and the camera but still... Are they actually making money off that phone?

>>58467145
I've got the Redmi 3 Pro

The phone was filled with malware when it arrived. I flashed Resurrection Remix MM and haven't had problems since.
>>
>>58468949
Just because it isn't advertised as waterproof doesn't mean it can't handle water. The IP65/68 rating of the X Performance means it's protected against low pressure water jets (ie. You can use it the shower) and continuous immersion in water (so you can swim with it underwater).

Rain isn't really a problem for any phone, at most the water on the screen might interfere with touch input. A lot of phones are also splash proof but aren't advertised as such because people might confuse that with their phone being waterproof. That's why you'll often see phones that aren't waterproof still survive being dipped in water like the Xperia X here
http://www.gsmarena.com/video_shows_the_sony_xperia_x_seems_to_cope_well_with_water_despite_the_lack_of_a_certification-blog-18813.php

The X Performance is also completely dustproof, but that doesn't really mean that much, as pretty much all phones are at minimum dust protected, meaning that dust can enter the phone but not in a way that will damage it.

Sick of my tmobile reception getting worse and working in a new place where I got .5 to zero bars while verizon shills and att got 4 bars I switched.

So i'm on verizon's prepaid $50 for 7gb data. Still cheaper than postpaid.

Now the question: what's a good phone with these specs?

Screen: 5-5.5"
Os: Android preferred
Main apps: Snapchat, Maps, discord
Camera: I want a good camera
Kicker, Price: Less than $350 new.

Battery life can be meh because i'm always near a charger 3/4 of the day.

I haven't kept up with phones, the last time I was interested in one, was a few years ago when stuff like Huawei was first introduced into the EU market with cheap mobile shit.

Now I see Xiaomi and I've never even heard that before, actually the same with Axon but that is besides the point.
Despite the stereotypes, it really seems like all these random asian brands really stepped up their game and deliver better phones than the ones we are used to, is that correct?

Seems like the companies who had the market before became really lazy.
>>
>>58471458
I don't know if they are truly better, /g/ doesn't really complain about them though. You get insane value for the price when you buy chinkphones, but you have the risk that if something breaks you are fucked because there is no warranty.

I mean the mi5s is basically a google pixel and it's half the price.

Can I buy an unlocked smartphone, not use a carrier and just use it as a tom-tom like gps? Thought it would be a waste of money to just buy a tom-tom..since so many smart phones already have agps. Looking at galaxy s4 because my budget is tiny.

And if this is possible... what apps are needed to make it work? I dont need the assisted directions (though its ok if they are present), and i dont want one that just downloads maps offline.

I loved windows phone and my old lumia 822.

I only use pandora, maps, and text/calls. Don't use snapchat or spotify.

I'm on verizon, would it be possible to get a used lumia icon somewhere? Or was there something newer/better that I can find used?

It might just be nostalgia but if i'm not spending over $200 I don't mind it just to see if I still love it.

I also want a good camera. I don't play mobile games.

When will phone manufacturers stop memeing "premium" materials? Aluminium is slippery and cold and it bends and dents. Just give me something like the iphone 5c or something, because if I'm going to need a plastic case to make a metal phone tolerable I might as well skip a step.

Best phone for $50ish (can be used)?

I'm getting a phone for my younger brother. He'll be using it for the basic shit like social media, YouTube, music and what not. It doesn't have to be something super basic like those $4 Poo phones from India or some shit. I can stretch it to 60, even. Also, preferably with a larger screen.

Long time iPhone fag here, first time on this particular board but no stranger to 4chinz. AT&T iPhone 6 (currently) grandfathered unlimited data and text, limited calls.

Really unhappy with Apple's latest strides in iPhones, namely the 7. Also unhappy with iOS 10, it just seems to be trying to compete with other phone OS's. There's a bunch of useless bells and whistles and still very little customizability, as well as unnecessary changes to the keyboard and unlock sounds. The 7 is overpriced for what it is (as most Apples are), but I don't really care cause I'm still on a 6.

I've been using Apple for so long that I don't really want to change, but if I were to, what are some options? Not interested in any of the Windows phones for various reasons, but what else? Something with decent customizability, good security, maybe some options for enhanced web browsing (ie plugins, addons) and a good built-in camera in comparison to the iPhone. Make me want to switch.

Amen to that. It literally ticks all the boxes for features that you want from a smartphone!

I've had my S5 since launch. I've kept all stock software and apps, disabling the bloatware only. It's been dropped in puddles, left out in the garden and never had a scratch or crack on the screen. Still manages to hold up against modern phones for battery life and reliability.

I genuinely feel the S5 was the last great smartphone. Everything since then has been meme filled metal coated shit.

They don't have many mobile threads, but the ones they do have are usually for Japanese games.

Super Mario Run
Avadon 3
The Hacker 2.0
Kathy Rain
Battleship Lonewolf
Plants vs. Zombies
Asphalt 8: Airborne
Minecraft: Pocket Edition
Fruit Ninja
Monument Valley
Clash of Clans
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
World of Goo
Pokemon GO
The Room
Fallout Shelter
SOULCALIBUR
Most Square Enix games
Most Telltale Games games
This War of Mine

I don't play video games, but I know those are a good place to start. Depends on what you want, really. However, MOST paid games are vastly superior to their free counterparts. Especially if they're over $5.

There is a problem though... While Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is great you might find it annoying to play due to the controls. Keep that in mind. Try to find ones that work for mobile. Grand Theft Auto doesn't. At least from what I hear. The controls cause too many headaches and it's annoying. You could also try Max Payne. Minecraft is tolerable enough to play and it's probably a great go-to mobile game. If anything, this is probably the only mobile game you'd ever need. Terraria is probably even better because it's designed for mobile and will probably feel better to play than some 3D game.

Verizon here friends.

Moto G4 new, used note 4, used note 5, or used s6.

I love the idea of the s pen and those on the fly note taking ability for my meetings but it might be a meme and too giant in my pocket. I didn't like the 6p because of it slipping out of my gym shorts but I could always use an armband or something to hold it in.

If buying used I can get a mint one for around $300. Is that too much for a note 5 at this point?

Having never heard of it, I looked it up. It looks like something for nerds and dumbasses that serves no practical purpose. What's even the point?

>>
>>58485158
Well if you already had a 6P you should know if the Galaxy Notes are too big or not as they're both 5.7", same size as the 6P.

On the Note 5 you get newer specs but lose some of the great features the Note 4 had, such as a removable battery, a microsd card slot and a infrared port.

I did it, selfpropelled guns. I pulled the trigger on Redmi 4 Prime. I paid more than I would if I bought from chinks, but at least I know it's in my country, has sellers warranty and is unlocked with MIUI EU flashed.

Fuck, it took me more than a month to make the decision (poorfaging) and I still have doubts, even nw when the money's been payed and I'm waiting for delivery happening next week.

this is the mi max 64gb, seems breddy decent to me, maybe apps open 0.05 sec faster with UFS but I don't think you should really worry too much about it. speeds can vary tho, just like there are USB3 flashdrives that are less than 40MB/s.

aquaris x5 (with cyanogenmod) vs oneplus two

my main concern is privacy what're some thing I should take into consideration? one worry I have is oneplus 2 is running oxygenos which is closed source, both come with google play store and stuff which I hope I'd be able to remove (or maybe block google domains with something like adaway) - I can't really add more details the two factors that're my priority are privacy and battery life (as long as it gets 1 day I'm fine)

The volume menu isn't an app, it's a feature in the OS so you can't just change it. What exactly is it you want to do?

you can find the international version of the s7 non-edge for like 530 on b&hphoto and I got my htc 10 on sale for 500 through htc. but pay more and go with the 10 anyway cuz fuck samsung.

I would have gotten one too, but I'm not paying so it can ship to me then pay 30us to unlock it.

Not that particular, My mom has a Samsung s something and the software cutoff lvls are far better than on my pos blu phone.

I was thinking of using another phones volume control to raise the cut off lvl by software means.

They usually have limiters built in right? Well I wanted to unlock mine.

You don't have to use oxygenOS on the OP2, just install a custom rom without Google apps

I'm not sure what you mean by cut off levels. Do you want to make the phone louder? Maybe try one of the volume booster apps on the app store.

Don't let the battery drain do low that the phone switches off and don't charge it to 100% when it's off. Instead if the battery drains enough that the phone switches off then turn it back on as soon as you can after plugging it in the charger

does cyanogenmod have built in root capabilities? if so from what version?

If you're rooted, there is a volume option in Kernel Adiutor if your kernel supports it
If your kernel can't, you can get Viper4android.
Be very pensive with shit that tweaks your volume, you might break your earphones/speakers/eardrums if you set it too loud

The tools you need are available for Linux too, and flashing a custom rom is easy, especially on a developer friendly phone such as the Oneplus. There's plenty of guides available on the internet

OnePlus 3 vs. Google Pixle.

Availability, and price exuding, which is the better phone, and why?

Mi5s or 5s plus? Or is there anything better under $400?
>>
>>58487977
>I have CM13 installed and it has root thingy
thanks, can you be specific is it just in developer settings or something?

also worried since I'm buying a phone that comes with cyanogenmod and play store on it it won't be rootable out of the box
>>
>>58487966
>>58488091
IIRC only cyanogenmod nightlies are prerooted, the setting for it is under developer settings. Stable releases are not prerooted so you'll need to flash SuperSU or something
>>
>>58488050
Pixel, because it has a better screen.
>>
>>58488129
Better camera too
>>
>>58488050
In the developer setting, yes.

You can always flash SuperSU but when I did try on CM13 first without knowing it has root it just got stuck in a bootloop.

Also, CM is ded. LineageOS is the new king. Only reason I'm using CM13 is Xposed

Its selling for $1,500 on eBay right now. Shit, I can flip this thing if I want to.

The 32GB is selling for about $120 more than retail.

I'm still deciding between this and the Xperia X compact
The Bq Aquaris supports Galileo satellites which went online in December 2016 -> should have very accurate positioning

>>58488478
Never realised they ship internationally, always just assumed they're sold in a limited amount of countries

oh and Bq seems to be open source friendly, tho Sony is too nowadays

http://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/
>>
>>58488873
it's quite big honestly. I'd take the x compact if you really want a compact phone. Batterywise they should be on par. BQ has cleaner android than sony tho.

Lacking: customizability, good browsers, plugins, ease of 1-hand operation (using a 6). Would like soemthing with better formatting, easier to reach buttons, some options for keyboard sounds, browser plugins, freedom of file browsing (ie flash and webm viewing without weird external apps), being able to put passcodes on some apps. One thing I'm not willing to risk is the security though, I haven't heard any stories of non-jailbroken iPhones getting hacked but heard thousands for Droids etc

Just looking for any other phones that have this and maybe more.

but the g4 play comes with its own special turbocharger? that's one of its main selling points besides stock android and being cheap as fuck

the regular g4 comes with a black rectangle for a charger, takes 2-3 hours to reach 100 percent

the g4 plus comes with a black square for a charger, this one is the turbocharger and can be used on the g4 and other moto phones such as the z play, fully charges in an hour and 20 minutes but just 20 minutes of charging puts the phone from dead to 50 percent, dont touch the charger after this though, its scalding hot (it does cool off as soon it reaches 100 though)

the g4 play comes with a white square-ish charger, this is apparently also a turbocharger but it's meant to be used only with this phone, takes an hour and 40 minutes to fully charge, charger also overheats while in use but its nowhere near as hot as the real turbocharger, and cools off sooner (at 80 percent)

still, i wouldn't buy any of those phones, get an old flagship or try your luck with those $300 galaxy s7's on ebay (exact same specs as the s7e but smaller battery, no edge meme and 5.1")

source: i have a g4 play, dad has the g4 plus and a friend has the g4
