should I get the redmi note 3 pro international oder the note 4 pro international.

the 4 isn't that much more expanisve right now but Id like to check with you guys first.
is somethign wrong with it ?

I'm looking for a phone that will get supported for a while , is the note 3 pro the safer bet ?

Just switched from OnePlus 3t to iPhone 7

i do miss the ricing of android, but man

theres a real joy in the simpleness of iOS

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8050&idPhone2=8236

Which one should I get? They are only 10€ apart. I am interested in a good camera and a good battery life. I do not plan on rooting any of them.
I currently have a Galaxy S4 that needs to be recharged every and is laggy as shit.

>>59000294
Okay, maybe laggy as shit is going a bit too far. But is is kinda slow in opening some apps. It takes like 2 seconds to open Outlook, Instagram or stuff like that.

Wait for Moto G5, it's out for sale on March

whats the best under 100€ phone that runs whatsapp and has a replaceable battery?

>>58999629
>a camera equivalent or superior to the S7
no such thing exists (except for s7edge)

>>58999629
>>59000590
Google Pixel has a better camera

>>58999982
There is such phone as "Note 4 Pro international".

>>59000588
A used Galaxy S5 or save up for the Moto G4 Play

>>59000561
I can't wait that long, anon. I have to buy a new phone in a week max.

>>59000764
BQ Aquaris X5 Plus then

>>59000692

damn, geekbuying tricked me with theire "offical global rom" bullshit.
no lte band 20 here...

anyay , the note 3 pro it is.

>>59000590
>>59000674

Ok. Thanks!

>>59000903
All right. Thank you, anon.
It's also the easier one to buy since you can find it in stores. The G4+ is only sold through amazon from what I've seen. Man, Spain sucks.

What the fuck?

Why do cheap phones still use normal LCD screens? I thought AMOLED screen production was supposed to be cheaper by last year

>>59001470
http://www.geek.com/mobile/amoled-displays-are-now-cheaper-to-manufacture-than-lcds-1650608/

>Just because AMOLEDs are cheaper to make doesn’t mean they’ll end up on all phones. There are production capacity issues that can drive up costs for OEMs. Samsung uses most of the AMOLEDs it makes for its own products, and LG’s AMOLEDs are not yet of the same quality.

Samsung uses AMOLED even in a lot of their budget models so that leaves less available for the other manufacturers

Browsing through the archive people seem to dislike the LeTV 1s but I can get one for 30% of the price of any Xiaomi phone with 3gb of RAM so I want to ask what is so bad about LeTV 1s? I'm pretty tight on money and I need a phone fast.

is it worth to get a used oneplus 2? its arounds $200 in my country

>>59002133
OP2 is the worst Oneplus phone (mainly because SD810 is a piece of shit SoC) but for $200 it's fine

>>58999982
RN3P is better. SD650>SD625. only the SE verion has B20 btw.

>>59002133
No.

I got a Sony Xperia Z2 and the way it manages photos sucks. It organizes it from the date I saved it on my pc rather than the date I transferred it, so I have a bunch of pictures god knows where in a 700+ folder.
Is there an app I can use to remedy this? It seems all the ones I've downloaded and the ones it comes with does this too.

I wonder which is better for low light photos one plus 3t or ZTE axon 7

I'm pretty sold on the lenovo p2,
only thing I'm worried about is the camera quality because I really need a decent one.

Is there a camera software that comes with a ROM maybe that can improve the quality of the pictures?

Drug dealer here. Which phone has the best battery life around $300?

I have Moto G4 but I find it lacking and seeing Moto G5 specs it won't be better bigly

>>59004656

yeah, open box, new for $420. not too bad. less than i paid for my 6s 64gb which was used.

Is it possible to do a camera sensor swap on a phone?

>>59005348
On most phones you can replace the camera sensor if it's from the same phone. Not with one from another phone though

Pretty tired of my old S5 and I'm looking at a new phone. Any recommendations?

>>59005656
>If requesting purchasing advice, please provide your country and what carrier you will be using it with, along with wanted features, budget and size.

Also check the OP image

Found a OP3 at a pretty decent price,
seller has

"unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed the ressurection remix 5.8.1 nogaut"

Chances that he fucked up something and he's selling a brick?

>>59005965
Oh. ok then. :(

>>59005984
I don't actually know. only get it if it's considerably cheaper than a new OP3 and if your'e ready to deal with it some messed up device.

>>59006036
300€, wich is suspicious considering they go for 30-50€ more.

And I'm not really well versed in smartphones roms and shit.

>>59006062
I'd save that extra 50€ and get a new one just in case. it's small change not worth the risk.

Or save a bit more for the OP3T or Honor 8.

>>59006113
>Honor 8
Second person that suggested me this,
but isn't the OP3 already better? I mean the camera is for sure.

>>59006176
Depends on your size preference. they're both great. OP3 has better UI for sure, I'd go for it if it's new.

>>59006239
Well the Op3 is not distributed anymore, new price is around 400€ now, and used 350€

thinking about selling my nexus 5x before it bootloops and getting an htc 10. is there any downside for the 10 other than the non removable battery

>>59007491
I hear the battery life isn't that good. Not terrible, but nothing special either.

Is there any worthwhile upgrade to the Galaxy Note 4. This thing has been my go to for 2 years now with no sign of changing since the Note 5 fiasco.

My Nokia E71's bat dies in just under 6 hours, even though I've never really used it for more than an alarm clock and a bit of whatsapp. And before it only stayed home, since I don't use phone, desu, but now it has to stay permachained to an el. outlet.
Q: Do I get a new battery or buy a new Nokia of similar caliber?
p.s. Is it true they're re-releasing the eternal brick Nokia?

If you just want a big phone then yes. If you want stylus related stuff then wait for Note 8.

Bought an iPhone 7 Plus and just sold it today because I hated it so much.

I wish I could get a Pixel XL so that the Android version would stay up to date but I can't find one without paying a ridiculous price.

I wouldn't mind a LG V20 because I like big phones but I've heard the glass on the back can crack randomly, that they are slow, and that the battery life is garbo. With my luck it would probably bootloop too.

Would love a Mi Mix but I'm not sure it would work with T-Mobile and getting Google Play on sounds tedious.

Life is suffering. What do?

Should I shell out $60 just to get the 4X or just stick to my incoming 4 Prime?

I had the galaxy note 3 on t-mobile since it launched (it was my first smartphone and it's lasted me a good while with little hiccups)
That said, the battery life has recently shit the bed.
Should I just get a new battery? Or bite the bullet and get a new phone? If i did get a new phone, the features I want are battery life, and everything else being on par with the note 3 (if not better)
If something is slightly worse, it's not a big deal. only battery is a must have.
Water resistance is really cool, but not necessary. Size doesn't matter as long as it's not tiny, and budget along the same as when the note 3 forst came out (maybe it was 700 though, so under 600 is ideal)

>>59011687
Oh, and wireless charging is another cool thing if it's capable. Expandable memory also cool

>>59019307
since the s7 is out of question the op3t is an option. mi6 (when it's released and you don't mind missing bands). huawei p9 maybe.

Which redmeme is better to buy right now, the 3 Pro or 4X? Is there much different besides the SoC?

>>59019573

But did they not improve the camera/build quality much?

>>59019573
Go with the RN3P if you want to install custom ROMs, or if you need B20 or B28 LTE (RN3P Special edition). 4X is better otherwise.

>>59019844
>muh gaming performance
4X has better design, a better display, better battery life and a better camera.

If you could get one of the following smartphones for free, which would you choose and why?

Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 edge
Galaxy S6
Galaxy A5
Galaxy Xcover 3
Galaxy A3
Galaxy J5

My workplace is making me choose and right now I'm still running around with an old Galaxy S2 which is creating more and more problems.

>>59019928
S7 Edge

>>59019928
S7 Edge is probably the best one. The edge features themselves are a bit of a gimmick but you get a bigger battery over the normal S7 (3600mah vs. 3000mah). The normal S7 is also fine if you feel the S7 Edge is too big.

>>59020014
The size was the reason I almost didn't list it. Occasionally holding someone's newer phone I always found them to be too big. Didn't know about different batteries though.

Going by the two replies I guess it comes down to S7 or S7 egde. THanks guys.

Oukitel k6000 pro any good or should I just go full muh battery and get a k10000

>>59020935
K6000 pro is pretty good. It's got a really nice screen and DAC. Battery life is great but for 6000mAh it could be a bit better, I got around 11-13 hours SoT on mine.

Thoughts on U20?

>>59020955
The DAC is good news
Mind going into a bit more depth about the phone or is there not much to say?

>>59020977
It's a bit heavier than most, very well built and durable. Not many cases and screen protectors on the market for it though.

Screen is a bit cold/blue but still one of the best phone screens I've used.

Battery life is a bit better on Wi-Fi, on 4g i used to get 11-13 hours SoT over 2 days which was nice. Charge time was slow though because the seller fucked me over by not including a pump express charger in my box. Most k6000 pros should come with one though.

Loud sound, excellent quality from the headphone port. Built in speaker is loud too but no bass. It's built into a slope though so when you put it down the desk won't muffle the rear speaker.

Camera was not bad in ideal daylight but if camera seriously matters definitely start looking elsewhere. It's good in the day but indoors and night it just struggles.

Any questions?

>>59020867

>not having the international version

Best sub-$200 phone for my dad? Should work on AT&T in the US, camera should be good enough to take pics of text and read on the phone (preferably with OIS), and have a 5.5"+ screen with at least 1080p resolution.

I'm not much of a power user, but for reference, a SD 801 is more than enough power for what I do, so having the latest and greatest isn't a priority, hence why I'm looking at a z3c. So long as I can text and run an occasional emulator (which my old note 2 can do, so I'm not too concerned).

I'd try another camera app and see if it allows you to switch between cameras. I doubt they're both broken so it should be enough to replace just the rear camera.

Is there any way to hard restart a phone with a nonremovable battery? My favorite thing about my old phone (It was a Nokia, don't laugh) was that if it wasn't working, you could take out the battery and plug it back in, but it was old as shit and finally broke. Although the one I ordered is vastly superior, I don't have that luxury anymore since the battery's nonremovable, but I'd still like to know if there's any way to just shut it down

>>59034079
Yes, by holding the power button down for 10sec

>>59034079
I did it by holding power and either volume up or down.

>>59034079
Sort of adding to that, my old phone was a Nokia Lumia 521 and the one I ordered is a Zenfone 3 Max, with 3GB RAM. I'm 99% sure I'm going to be satisfied with my purchase since the Lumia was beyond shit, with only 512mb RAM and 1GHz dual core cpu, but how is the Zenfone 3?
