Doogee shoot 1 owner here. Got camera samples to compare to my zuk z2 pro.

This one is doogee.

Looking for a sub-$200AUD ($150USD) phone with official lineageOS support.

Looks like the Xiaomi Mi 4 might be the way to go at about $160. Any major issues with it, besides potentially being chinked?

Genuinely impress with camera image quality, but shutter speed, especially in low light, is long. Especially compared to the instantaneous snapping on the Zuk.

>the flagship of small screen
never mind the grammar, is 5" or 5.2" really a "small screen" ?
A small phone would be something you could have in a breast pocket.

Anyone know where to buy chink phonse that delive free to EU without customs?

I used TOP-ONE on Aliexpress but for some reason it looks like that shop is dead now.

Not factoring in that the zuk takes images much faster than the doogee, I'd say this is a camera that is almost as good in image quality in the day. Very good job considering its a third the price. Not as good in low light though. It really trails behind then.

Doogee shoot 1

How can I buy a phone (preferably running copperheadOS) without gapps in the UK

Impressive

The Doogee Shoot really impresses me with its camera photos. With a price that Zuk Z2 can only dream of, it flies towards the top of the budget phones rankings.

Just buy the phone and install copperhead later

>>59430252
I am saying that as the owner of the doogee shoot 1.
The time it takes to take a photo in low light is atrocious, the zuk z2 camera has no delays when you take an image, just check any reviews if you don't believe me.

What does /spg/ think of the Moto Z and the Moto Z Play?

>>59429981
Yes, but funnily enough the zuk z2 is better in absolutely every other way. Including camera quality since it has manual camera controls to assist low light photography.

>>59429276
Well... that's some pretty bad quality camera right there... too bad... also too bad for that Mediatek chip, I got a Doogee phone out of sheer curiosity once, never again

On ATT in USA. I want an Android phone with a big screen. I don't care how much it costs but is any phone really worth a thousand dollars? Removable battery and expandable memory would be nice but not necessary.

Is now a good time to buy? I have a feeling my S5 is in a downward spiral right now but if there's something new that's worth waiting for I could try and hold out.

>>59430587
You should consider the V20, has great camera with OIS, better performance than a pixlel, a msd slot, removable battery, and is getting official lineage os support soon.

I plan to get one as soon as lineage OS matures a little for it.

>>59429993
Anybody can afford them with contracts, leases, loans, credit, ect. In fact I used to own one before it got touch disease (6 plus). The reason nobody buys them is because they are absolute fucking dogshit in battery life, camera, performance, features, ect.

Best backup tool? In addition to a nandroid backup

nexus 5x or 6p? I care about
build quality

>>59430726
5x is it, the 6p can bend really really badly if you sit on it by accident and all... plus it's not really as solid as the 5x is to be quite frank, yes it is metal, but it's very weak in the middle

Is there an MS paint-alike on Android? All I want to do is draw and type over a picture, why is that so hard to find?

Guys my 4G is shit , and I have a Samsung core with Family mobile (which both sucks donkey balls but can't change network)
My sister on the other hand has a Samsung j3 ,I thought little of it Intel I used and liked it, so I looked up and found the Samsung j5 but the problem is it has 3g only .would my network on the new phone be a huge difference if I had 3g instead of 4G since my 4G already sucks

>>59430726
Neither, consider getting an S5 active instead. It has way better build quality than both, is waterproof, doesn't require you to buy a case for it, is cheaper, and to top it all off gives you a msd slot and a removable battery you can upgrade.

Also web browsing battery life is
S5 Active - 7:26 Hours
Nexus 5X - 6:25 Hours
Nexus 6P - 6:24 Hours

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/benchmarks

You can upgrade it to marshmellow which also upgrades the touchjizz UI to remove most lag it used to have.

You sure you can't switch over to boost? They got a similar family plans if not better and the lg stylo 2 for $80 which supports 4G LTE and has 2GB of RAM/16GB ROM + msd slot.

Most of my family has complained about shit 4G LTE performance on their t-mobile phones but few about their boost phones.

Z Play is pretty good if you don't/can't go full chink

>>59431271
Shame, there really anything good t-mobile has to offer. You should at least try convincing your dad to get you on boost. The $30 2GB plan can be reduced to $20 if you get boost dealz and auto-pay. After those 2GB you get unlimited internets albeit at 2G speeds.

Valid, Apple needs to stop the thinness meme and focus on making their products good.

>Camera
How high-quality pics do you need? If you're a photographer, you're using an actual camera anyway.

>Performance
Okay, let's be real, how many people use their phone's full processing power? The most I do on mine is listen to music, discord, internet. Aside from messages and making calls. None of which require a tremendous amount of power.

>Features
What is it missing? (inb4 a headphone jack) My iPhone does everything I need it to and more, I can't think of something that I can't do with it.

Yeah, that's a major downside. Apple does overcharge like hell.

Let's run down the list

Android phones let you:
>have real encryption with no backdoors
>download over 100MB over mobile data
>install a third party app launcher and icons
>use it as a flash drive
>share any kind of file over wifi/bluetooth
>torrent via torrent clients in the playstore
>install apps outside the playstore
>modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain
>manually control complex camera functions via third party apps
>natively browse files
>view better colors via amoled displays
>browse 4chan and natively open webms inside them via third party apps
>extract/browse archives
>add additional phone storage via a micro SD card
>replace the stock battery with a bigger one
>add widgets to your home screen
>access important functions by swiping down

>Flash drive
Makes sense, I have not come close to filling the storage on my phone, but I have shittons of flash drives laying around and use old comps for servers anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

>Share over wifi/bluetooth
Does that with iCloud with my Mac, use it for various shit work related and not. If I'm doing work on the go I have my MBP anyway.

>torrents
Home computer does that anyway, I don't watch shit on my phone anyway.

fine I guess, but there's nothing I really need outside the App Store.

>natively browse files
Good point, that should be in there.

>browse 4chan
meh, not on here enough to warrant that.

>additional phone storage
still haven't filled up my iPhone's internal storage, and whatever I don't need I remove from my phone anyway, but I'm anal about file management.

>view better colors
As trendy as Apple makes themselves out to be, I'd agree with this. iPhones really ought to have better displays.

>replace the stock battery
Something that should be on all batter-powered devices Imo. I'll agree with this.

>add widgets to your home screen.
Everything I use is already there.

>access important functions by swiping down
Already on the home screen.

>modify system settings
Should be on iPhone I agree.

>Encryption with no backdoors
I like the idea, but whatever you say or message goes through a provider anyway, the NSA/CIA have it. I just day don't put sensitive stuff on your phone.

Man, I wanted to get the Zuk Z2 because I wanted a Snapdragon 820 phone with a 5-5.2 inch screen but every fucking "flagship killer" manufacturer aside from Oneplus shafts Europoors with the Dollar to Euro conversion unless you buy straight from China. Even the Huawei Honor 8 that cost $400 in the US when it was released costed almost €550 here.

Good thing that the Oneplus 3 is going to last me for years with the custom ROM support but I really wanted to get a phone with a smaller screen.

Got my honor8 yesterday. what apps should i install now?

new to modern smartphones. whats the deal with webapps? what are cases where downloading the app is actually better than just using firefox?

and does anyone use feedly? cant seem to run it from firefox, it only asks to download the app

>>59434272
Why not just order from aliexpress?

>>59434747
Because you can't escape the punishing VAT of all european countries.

>>59434747
Not worth it in case shit happens, my Oneplus 3 broke a few weeks after I got it, I just sent it away to their service center and got it back a few weeks later, didn't have to pay a single penny, not even shipping. If I had bought it from Aliexpress they'd just tell me to go fuck myself.

Really fast and I have no complaints.
Previously had Xperia SP and before that Huawei W1.

It does use eMMC memory so that's slower than todays flagship phones, but I copied my 16GB music collection there in like 10-15 minutes, so not too bad.

Camera is not the best, but not too bad as well.

>>59435404
Also, I'm using the Indian stock ROM because it had no issues with Google play and had OTA updates in Europe.

Also it's older than the Chinese official and the camera quality is worse than on that ROM.

And the Indian ROM is not at Nougat yet.

This sucks, I suppose I could just buy a cheaper phone but I don't want to downgrade. I've been exposed to 1440p OLED, I can't go back to a $200 1080p phone now. Might just see if I can find a cheap S7 instead.

does a 100% pure AOSP ROM with no extra features or modifications whatsoever exists for the redmeme note 3?

>>59429993
I can, but I'd rather not pay for something that trashy when a Macbook and most decent laptops are around the same price.

>>59436043
There's Roms close to it, and quite a few ROMS based on AOSP. But I don't think anyone has compiled Pure AOSP for it. Word of advice, ROMs run fine but you'll need a custom kernel and a patch for the fingerprint scanner for the newest models. Xiaomi changed the scanners hardware. Again.

>>59435851
Don't worry about it, the jump from marshmallow to nougat isn't that significant and samshit will provide OTA security/stability updates for you like they do in their other phones.

Touchwizz isn't even a problem anymore in marshmallow. I should know since I have a budget J7 running it.

Nope, phone manufacturers are patching the exploits and vulnerabilities that allow you to get root access despite the "le lagdroid get no updates XDddd---" meme.

Your best bet now is to get an Android smartphone with an unlockable bootloader (ie axon 7) and install lineage OS.

Hi /spg/,

I'm completely clueless about mobile phones, but I know that I finally need a real smartphone (because my old xperia from 20...10(?) has gone to shit.


What I need:
>G4 connectivity (LTE 20, I live in EU)
>small-ish size, so maximum 135mm in length (140 if theres no other option), maybe even smaller
>good display resolution, good display-to-body ratio
>an audio jack, so I can plug in earphones occasionally
>GPS would be nice


What I don't need:
>super fancy camera
>finger print sensor
>overpowered mega hardware to play crisis on my phone, really, I don't play games

I really only need the phone to make calls, use WhatsApp and browse 4chan 20 minutes per day maybe.
Since I don't want to spend an assload of money (around 150 max, anything cheaper welcome), I've been looking at chinese smartphones.
Unforunately, there are SO MANY PHONES and most of them are kinda indistinguishable from each other.

Any tips or recommendations?

Any phones I should AVOID?


I was very interested in the Vernee Thor, then I ordered it and now I tried to cancel it (on gearbest), because apparently the display is not as durable as they claim, they lied about using "gorilla glas", whatever that is and later on admitted that a few other things in their phones weren't what they advertised....


Anyway, some help would be appreciated. Cheers!

>>59432961
Mine came in on Monday. Threw on ZUI 2.5, everything works great. I don't have another phone to compare it too. Just watch out for little blips like minor translation errors or things like that.

>>59437188
Take a look at the Moto G 4th gen.

What should I flash on a Moto G gen 2?

>>59437188
Moto G4 Play, but it doesn't have band 20. Or wait until the Nokia 3 is released, it costs €140 and has band 20 but it might take a while until it's out.

If you buy Chinese phones then you most likely won't get the right LTE bands. Use this site to make sure.

http://willmyphonework.net/

>>59437188
You sound like someone who values the money they sweat tears and blood over so avoid everything with an apple logo.

You should consider getting the Sony Z3C.

>>59437188
Unironically Zuk Z2. $190 and fulfills all your requirements without being a bloatfest.

>>59437498
i'd go for it, but i can't for the life of me find the black version in stock anywhere. neither banggood nor gearbest has it. any tips?

Far too big for my taste, that thing is almost a tablet. Besides, I need something than I can comfortably carry in my back or side pockets

You have a particular model in mind? If you could post a link that would be nice, because the sheer amount of different Moto G phone types makes it impossible for me to see which one you could have meant, sorry. As I said, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to mobile or smartphones.


Also, thanks for all your input so far!

Custom Roms don't make your camera shit, most apps, including the official Google one, just aren't as good as the LG, Sony, Samsung ones, and you can't expect to have those on AOSP.
I'm using AOSP 7.1 with a few mods right now, everything from NFC to the Camera works.

So my Xperia Z1 Compact kicked the bucket and I need a new smartphone.

My preference is something that works internationally (At least between the US and Japan), isn't Chinese, and preferably compact (the Z1 Compact was great until the battery started dying and the subsequent replacement was a fucking nightmare).

Decent durability and battery life are a plus for obvious reasons.

I've been looking at the newer Galaxy S models and the lg V20 but the latter looks like a mini-tablet in some screenshots. I considered a Motorola Moto G-something but it seems to have a lot of quality issues.

>>59439666

I've been out of the loop on phones recently so I don't know exactly what I'm looking at with the 3T.

S7 active for battery life else 3T for performance

Web browsing battery life
S7A - 11:02 Hours
3T - 05:41 Hours

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/benchmarks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcTAXsFHu5I

While the 3T has dogshit battery life it kinda makes that up by being able to charge to 60% in 30 minutes desu. Then again this kind of fast charging degrades batteries faster and the one in the 3T is non-removable.

>>59440698
Well if you can wait, this summer there's likely going to be new devices. But the OnePlus 3T is a fantastic device for the price.

So there doesn't seem to be a concrete release date for the Nokia 5 outside of, "Q2, 2017".

Anyone know a more solid date. The Nokia 6 is already being sold in China.

>>59440769

I've had Samsung before but I didn't have the best experience with it; it got slow relatively early in its life, and the UI just didn't fit me.

If I were to get the 3T would there be anything I could do to extend the batteries life? How would I make the phone last as long as possible, because I don't have money to drop on a phone every year?

>>59431616
Finder fucking sucks

>>59440048
Is there anything I can do with it? Apparently he had the phone for months before this visit so returning it is probably impossible. Or is it just a brick? He offered it because my phone is a complete POS compared to this one. Hard to turn down a free phone.

>I've had Samsung before but I didn't have the best experience with it; it got slow relatively early in its life, and the UI just didn't fit me.
I think they have improved. I have the J7 from them with Nova installed and animations turned off and I get overall great performance on most things. Touchwizz hasn't been a problem for a while but people love to spout memes here.

>If I were to get the 3T would there be anything I could do to extend the batteries life? How would I make the phone last as long as possible, because I don't have money to drop on a phone every year?
Not much you can do, this phone was designed with absolute high performance in mind. Turning on power saving would throttle performance significantly.

If battery life is that important to you then the S7 active seems like the only good choice without compromising performance too much.

I need help with looking for a phone.
I've got $200 and am not afraid of getting something a bit older if it means better specs and if used, I'd like parts to be cheap if needed.
The biggest I'm willing to go is 5.2", but the smaller, the better.
Right now, the z3 compact is looking pretty nice (specs, good low light camera, screen size, etc) and is easily within budget, but from handling a friends, it feels so fragile.

>Country
USA
>Carrier
AT&T
>Features
Decent screen, at least 2gb o ram, decent camera w/ decent low light, cpu at least on par with an SD800, android 5.1 or later is fine
>Budget
$200
>Size
5.2" (would like as low under that as possible)

I'm currently using a Note II with LineageOS, and it's nice, but it's just getting too dated, screen fading, and the size just feels cumbersome.
What I've gathered so far:
The z3 compact is looking nice, but it seems fragile.
Galaxy s5 is just too cheap feeling and touchwiz is a mess
Moto X 2014 also looks nice, but the camera is shite and battery isn't much better
LG phones off themselves
I'm not a fan on iOS
Xiaomi doesn't work in the states
Moto G lacks in the camera department and is too big
ZUK z2 has iffy support with AT&T

I haven't bought a new phone in several years, but my shitty old Galaxy S3 is finally dying. I have a general idea of what I'm looking for, but I have a few hardware questions.

>Is 2GB of RAM sufficient? I don't play games or anything, but I want speed and responsiveness.
>Is there any reason whatsoever to opt for a non-removable battery over a removable one?
>I use a MicroSD card to store my music, but many new phones lack MSD support. Is there a reason to avoid MSD or is this just a trick to make me pay more for built-in storage/shitty cloud plans?
>Are fingerprint sensors worthwhile, or are they just a dumb gimmick that I'll never use?

>>59438062
It makes shit worse actually. Stock rom has the best drivers, when I went to CM13 on my Nexus 5, camera quality degraded noticeably.

Why is it so hard to get something like a z3 compact in actual new condition?
It's not hard to get other 2014 or so phones in actually new condition, like the moto x or note 4, of which I bought my dad recently.
So why is it so hard to find something like the z3c in new condition.
I've gotten 2 z3c from ebay, each being refurbished or repaired, but listed as brand new. (failed pressure tests, scratches, almost nothing in box, mismatched IMEI #s, etc)
I really like the device, but not being waterproof (pressure test thing) from repairs and paying extra compared to a used, cared for, non-repaired device in good condition meant both got returned.

Anyone know of any reliable ebay sellers that'll probably not do that or is responsive and speaks english?
Or somewhere to get a proper, ""new"", z3 compact?

>>59442894
Z3C is really good.

Zuk z2 should give you 3g and 4g, same with LeEco X520. You won't get Xiaomi phones to work though, unfortunately.

Not many Chinese phones will work with AT&T

How's the Moto G5? It looks like it fits the bill for everything I want, but sadly it's not available in the US. Is importing a problem?

What is around 150€ phone for a northern european girl who only need it for snapchat and spotify. Preferably with good cameras.

>>59444826
I think Blackberry Q10 and Z10 are the most popular phones in Somalia.

>>59444826
lel made me nostalgic for the days of downloading ISOs and playing them on a modded PS2, but only on the 100% Approved™ brand, Verbatim. usually Verbatim DVD+R instead of -R.

Yeah im in the middle of moving so i needed to get rid of some extra junk found a pile of discs like that for ps1 and ps2. They were mostly made by my dad in the early 2ks.

People are still interested in new phones?
I used to be interested in each new release, but since the Oneplus One I just don't see any interesting progression.
Well except for OIS.

I never owned and probably will never own an iPhone, but you picked some weird complaints, friend.

Anyway, Xiaomi released the sources for the Redmi 4 kernel, so expect stable releases soon.

Real quick: Is the Redmi 4A a phone you guys would recommend to somebody who doesn't know much about smart phones?

Also, is it reliable in terms of battery life, software stability and actual phone/case stability?
Is the display prone to breaking or getting hairline cracks or some shit?


All I'm looking for is a low maintenance phone that will last me for the next few years.
Will mainly use it for actual phone calls, whatsapp and browsing news sites, so I don't really need a gaming tier phone here.

>>59446613
Nigga, I am literally shilling a chinkphone on that post.

>>59446794

I don't get that either, 5in screens are already fucking elephant sized monsters and most phones with those screens aren't as comfortable to handle as 4.7in or similar display sized phones.


Btw, what IS a good and "small" phone (smaller than 14cm length) nowadays?
China phones welcome.

>>59446764
No, super cheap chinkshit is only for android veterans/dipshits who are willing to deal with all the problems they come with.

Get the s5 active or axon 7 mini, both are ~$200 on amazom and are almost equally worth it imho.

Would you recommend the Huawei LUA-L21 Y3 to someone that REALLY values their phone being a bit smaller than your other recommendations?


Is 1GB Ram fast enough to comfortably browse websites on a phone?

>>59445428
I did it for fun desu, and also to see how much difference there was.

>>59446836
Oh yeah because we have so many good 5 inch and smaller phones in 2016/17.

>>59446238
Is there a 4chan reader on Winphone?
And a youtube app?

>>59446861
Cant find it in a carrier here

>>59443795
Outside of the Google Pixlel, it's Motorola and Blackberry, surprisingly.

Problem with Blackberry is you cannot root the phones. But at least the UI is clean, instead of fucking around they just went with vanilla. Although I think it would have been cool had they modded Android to behave like BBOS 10

>>59443795
Bq. They preinstall one app and that's about it. No other modifications to android.

>>59446787
Just bought that thing, fuck buying a new device cause the replaceable battery went bust.

Thanks.

No, not at all. Huawei is one of the cheap chinkshit brands I was talking about.

>Is 1GB Ram fast enough to comfortably browse websites on a phone?
lolno, 2GB of RAM is the minimum especially if you open any web pages in desktop mode.

>>59439252
4A if Xiaomi released their kernel sources, the chipset is newer and iirc fabbed on 14nm
But there's no indication that such thing will happen, so go for the 3S

What exactly is the problem with chinese brands vs Apple or Samsung, for instance?

Many people seem to be fine with the Redmi 4a.

>>59447365
>What exactly is the problem with chinese brands vs Apple or Samsung, for instance?
Some are fucking shit while others are more trustworthy. ZTE, oneplus, and HTC are the few you can mostly trust.

Basically it goes gookshit/anzshit > trustworthy gookshit > untrustworthy gookshit > appleshit

>Many people seem to be fine with the Redmi 4a.
Most of them are paid shills.

Anyone tried the Leagoo Elite 6?

Looks good for ~60 bucks.

>>59447627
Get an Oukitel C5 Pro instead.

Just found the phone for this price on Aliexpress (never bought from there before, but the seller has a 95%)

Is the redmi note 4 (global) good? I read that the mic is pretty bad for recording video, but does that also affect calls?
