Name a better phone in the same price range, protip, you can't q

Told you that you fags couldn't do it.

Meh, the lack of a micro sd slot and removable battery bothers me too much. V20 is the only phone worth getting in 2017.

>>58778322
Actually, battery life is better than a oneplus 3 and 3t.

There's also an extended 10,000 mAh battery from zerolemon if you're man enough.

>>58778166
name something you do regularly with this phone that you can't do with a 200$ phone.

Sadly the screen isn't great - but that's reasonable for the price.

I just switched from a phone I spent $160 on a year and a hlaf ago. The phone (BlackBerry Q10) was released in 2013 and I'd still be using it, I just wanted to try the Passport. I'll now be using the Passport (which was $210) for years to come.

>>58778166
samsung ace ii x, the only /g/ approved non-chink phone.

Axon 7 bitches! God I love that phone!!!

>>58778166
Xiaomemes probably

There's no excuse for your flagship to drop SD support when every other model DID have it. That's unacceptable imo, and considering the oneplus philosophies of past phones, I'm really disappointed.

Thankfully, LG replaced my G4 with a new G4 and allegedly past a certain mobo number, no bootloops. So hopes are high

>>58778950
Hmmm well it does have a micro sd slot so I would get it over a oneplus just for that.

>>58778991
Plus a nicer screen, daydream support, bigger battery, way better speakers, better dac, better fingerprint position (imo), and a longer official update support. Though op3 basically replaced the nexus line for custom roms etc. Anyways, you just get more for the money.

>>58778991
Also I forgot to mention: better sound recording and 20mp camera over 12mp

>>58779057
Higher number doesn't inherently mean better. I'll take a good 5MP camera over a shitty 20MP one any day.

bullshit. the difference isn't in the build quality but in processor, storage, screen res, cameras, finger print scanner and shit like that and the truth is that it barely makes any difference at all.

ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO HACK YOUR PHONE

You can spout all the "lagdroid XDddd---" memes you want but Android phones truly are more advanced than itoddler phones and the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market share right now.

>>58782174
literally who cares? Its a great phone, it works well, has a great camera and has a plethora of accessories available for it and will continue to receive updates for a few years.

All those "cons" you mentioned mean nothing to someone who has a computer, between google back door or apple back door, I trust apple better.

>the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market share right now.

the reason for that is because they cost nearly nothing and the amount of obsolete shit out there with jelly bean or older OS is allowed by google.

If a phone doesn't have
>Removable Battery
>Micro SD card slot
>Repairable design aka can buy another phone and replace bits for a longer use of the phone. (not a must but it is nice)

then i am not buying.

>>58781169
>iPhone 5 size screen with 6 parts

Who would ever want this? All iPhones are junk. I don't get why people buy them either, Android is better in every way.

>>58783584
if you werent so autistic youd see that different people want and like different things.

android and iphones are nearly the same in every way neither is better than the other as long as you can get what you need done.

>>58783584
Repeat that several more times and might become true.


Not.

>>58783604
>>58783635
iPhones are for people who want to be told what to like, Androids are for people who want to be different. Fuck you iPhone shills, go be locked into how your phone looks and operates you cucks.

>>58783662
>Androids are for people who want to be different
are you on drugs?

iphones are for people who want an iphone and android are for people who want android. the things you own dont make who you are anon. get off your autism.

>>58783662
From my experience, iPhones are for people who don't want to bother with the os. It just works.

>>58783711
Pretty much this, I have had countless android phones, countless windows phones and a couple of iphones. Always was able to be more productive with both the WP and IOS because I didn't have to fuck around with the OS nor the bloatware it comes with. But WP has no apps that work for anything so IOS will be for me.

>>58783711
Yea well that's stupid, If you don't want to customise everything to the way you like it hen you're a boring human.

>>58783701
No. iPhones are for retards who don't know better, Yet people keep buying them, "accidently" drop them in 6-12 months and get the latest one because they use it as a social status.

Ditto. Also, wtf? Torrenting? On a freakin' phone? WHY?
>install apps outside the playstore

>modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain
If you have to charge your phone more than once every 2 to 3 days, the problem is you.
>manually control complex camera functions via third party apps
The VAST majority of people have absolutely no use for that.
>natively browse files
Why?!?
>view better colors via amoled displays
What?
>browse 4chan and natively open webms inside them via third party apps
VLC opens webms in iOS
>extract/browse archives
Why?
>add additional phone storage via a micro SD card
Aren't SD cards very slow compared to the build-in storage? Also, just buy a phone that comes with enough storage out of the box/cloud.
>replace the stock battery with a bigger one
Fair enough, but there's always a compromise when you can remove the battery.
>add widgets to your home screen
Why?
>access important functions by swiping down
You can access anything you need just fine in iOS.

Every time someone argues for Android over iOS it's a big list of shit practically nobody does or doesn't want to do with their phone.

>more advanced than itoddler phones and the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market share
The reason is very obviously because Android phone are dirt cheap and you know it.

>>58784565
Damn, even as an iP6s+ user, I can't justify some things you said, I just bought this phone for good stability and camera(s) which obviously my previous android didn't have.

>>58784620
Like what? My whole point is that iPhones aren't worse or for stupid people, they're just designed for a very different demographic than the typical /g/ user and frankly, I've had it with the constant insults and displays of felt superiority for reasons that are nothing more than very specialized use-cases that mean nothing to most people.

>>58784760
Being able to download some remixes off of the youtube and being able to torrent my anime while I was travelling was bretty good for once. Although I have the 128gb model, I carry my entire music and anime library with me.

>>58784944
Fair enough. And just to be clear: there's obviously use-cases where Android is the better choice and that's okay - but it doesn't make iOS any worse, especially when it's stuff that doesn't affect the overwhelming majority of people. I have my MacBook with me when I'm traveling and I wouldn't even *want* to watch anime (or anything really) on a phone to be honest. And let's be real here: torrenting on a phone is as niche as it gets as far as market share is concerned so it's a laughably bad argument in any serious real-world discussion.

Anon I think making a perfect phone is impossible because some "features" are actually downgrades for other people. That said iPhone is far from being a perfect phone. Android gets closer at its best but of course, because of the fractured android base, there is no perfect android phone either. You make the phone "good and usable" by having tastes. To be honest, I absolutely regret getting the iphone and I would sell it and get op3 in a heartbeat if they were selling it in my shitty 3rd world country for the reasons I stated in my previous post.

>>58784565
Android is open source and no backdoors have been found to date. Go ahead and find one love.

You literally can't. Go download an app over 100MB, ios won't let you.

To spend a minute or less customizing, it's fun and interesting.

>

yes we now have android phones with msd slots that accept 256GB cards and lte that lets you download at 50+ mbps. Crazy, I know.

install apps otherwise banned on standard app stores. Clover and newpipe for example. Both have no ads, malware, and are open source btw

getting extra battery life than normal can help extend the time you have to recharge your phone. This isn't a bad thing.

True but phone cameras are dogshit, fine tuning is a good feature to have to make phone photos look as good as possible.

so you can delete, move, copy, cut, compress to 7zip archives, ect things in a quick and organized fashion

amoled displays render the most accurate colors possible. Take the simple color black for example, IPS displays show it as a gray-bluish while amoled displays show it as 100% black.

This is very laborious and time consuming, you literally have to do this for every fucking webm you encounter

save space, organize files, and so many more uses

95MB/s UHS-I msd cards exist and phones made to accept 200MB/s UHS-II msd cards (backwards compatible with UHS-I msd slots) are coming very soon.

like what?

Very quick access to useful functions

lolno you can't, you have to swipe up to an extremely limited menu of quick access functions

loans/credit cards/ contracts/ leases exist irl, which most iphone users use to get their iphones with.

Interestingly it's uhs-ii micro sd cards... which are backwards compatible with current uhs-i slots.

However they're expensive as balls and few if any have uhs-ii micro sd slots. I'm sure the galaxy S8 will.

Iwish I had my G4 still :(

Using the LG V10. Got it for $300 brand new. T-Mobile was doing their hardest to move old stock and old phones, so they lowered the price to $350. Guys at the store lowered it further still when I said I'd buy a phone case with it in store and pay in full in cash.

This phone is awesome

>>58786779
No, you should live your life the way you want to live. However your priorities are a little on the fucked up side. You need to use a torrent client on your phone? Seriously? Are you torrenting on cellular network? If you say wifi then why the fuck are you using a cell phone for that job?

Youtube downloaders? File browsers? Dedicated 4chan apps? Perhaps you need a little less 4chan in your life.

Those are not normal needs, those are the needs and behaviors of an addict. The reason why majority of people truly don't care what platform their phone is on is because they have a life and a job that keeps them to busy to care.

Android's encryption is far behind and pretty pointless as it's only encrypted when the phone is off.
>The main advantage of the Apple approach is that instead of a single FDE key to rule them all, Apple can implement fine-grained access control for individual files. To enable this, iOS provides an API developers can use to specify which class key to use in encrypting any given file. The available “protection classes” include:

>Complete protection. Files encrypted with this class key can only be accessed when the device is powered up and unlocked. To ensure this, the class key is evicted from RAM a few seconds after the device locks.
>Protected Until First User Authentication. Files encrypted with this class key are protected until the user first logs in (after a reboot), and the key remains in memory.
>No protection. These files are accessible even when the device has been rebooted, and the user has not yet logged in.
