/spg/ smartphone general discussion thread

i need a phone sorter than 145mm
i want it cheap
i dont want motorola or lenovo or any other chinese brand unless they have very good custom rom support
what are my options?

>>59449787
>i need a poorfag manlet phone
okay

Best < 5.0" phones? Doesn't need to be cutting edge, just want to be able to run Lineage smoothly. I don't mind chink phones.

>inb4 hurr manlet hands

Why won't xaiomi chinks release source codes for their phones on time?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have mipad2 and mi5s and i cant install latest lineageos in them. I am stuck with their outdated shitty miui chinkroms!

Is the Mate 9 Lite worth considering as an option? I'm looking for a phone in the $300 range, and a p8 is more or less around that price so what should I make of it? What other brands offer good phones at around that range?

What's the difference between all the lines of Xiaomi phones?

>>59449825
Galaxy A3 2017 or X compact.

>>59450029

price range and specs

>>59450029
Why would you buy Xiaomi when Zuk exists?

>>59450052
STOP SHILLING THAT FUCKING PHONE YOU SHILL!

>>59449970
Honor 8.

>>59450052
>why would you buy familiar well known brand when chink shit on alibaba exist

>features
Would prefer a non android OS due to vault 7
But android is fine too

>>59450052
I liked the specs, but it seems most models don't support SD cards. I haven't checked them all, though.

>>59450230
>Would prefer a non android OS due to vault 7
Oh STFU.

OP3T.

Why can't anyone replicate the ZTE ZMax Pro's specs and price? I loved my chinkphone but I'm not in a MetroPCS area. I bought a used LG G3 and it's absolute garbage.

I just want a $100 phone that isn't garbage!

>>59450230
If you think the CIA is worried about you in Latvia, you're wrong. Nobody gives a shit about Latvia.

>>59450250
Was looking at it
But no carrier offers it

>>59450110
More like
>why would you buy a brand that's known to have poor qc on their budget line when good brands like Lenovo offer competitive prices

>>59450315
nah mate
the fact that some fags have that data
is kinda worrisome
I agree but, still, i would like something a bit more secure
jewgle still has my data
I dont want jewgle having my personal info

>>59450332
So??? buy it directly from oneplus.net

>>59450574
>if without a carrier 150 to 300 euros
Then it is out of my range

>>59450591
Then get an Honor 8.

>>59450614
424.94 in a plan
Good price?

>>59450712
Yeah. check P9 too.

any red flags about lg k3?

>>59450753
540 euros in a plan
This or honor 8

>>59450768
>1GB RAM
>MT6737M
Yeah, it's shit.

>>59450814
Honor 8 is better value.

>want to buy Moto G5 3/32
>Only for sale in Europe
>No one will ship to New Zealand
>my usual forwarder won't ship Li-ion batteries from Europe for some reason

cucked

>>59450814
And if you want stock android check HTC 10 or Lenovo P2.

>>59450827
5 euros a month diffrence
is not that much
Not minding the price
P9 or Honor 8

>>59449950
They released the sources for the Redmi today, maybe they released for those as well? Like a batch release.

>>59450827
nothing wrong with 1gb ram for my use case

Hey, anybody here use google voice? I'm considering porting my number to switch carriers more easily. I think I would have to flash gapps to use the app tho.

>>59450434
He suggested zuk not lenovo
I'm not saying xiaomi is a good brand but compared to the suggestion it definitely is

>>59451262
Zuk is Lenovo you Xiaomishit shill.

>>59450768
All LG's budget phones are shit, without exception. What's your budget?

>>59450434

Kek, good one

Anything new on the s8+ and mi mix 2?

>>59451262
Zuk, like Motorola, are Lenovo brands you fucking idiot.

>>59451352
Most popular products on /g/ are usually Lenovo. Moto phones, Zuk phones, Thinkpads, etc.

Lg k4 immeasurably bad. I got best version of lg x power but it's boost mobile locked

Hey /g/uys, I was thinking about buying a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, someone here knows if there is going to be a Lineage OS version for it soon?

(Also, did they fix the charger thing?)

>>59451700
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

>>59451909
He said good...

>>59451944
Why? What's the problem with it?

Locked phone sux but boost unlimited 4g for 10-15 less, 120$ less per year, don't need unlocked that bad except as device.

>>59452045
Great specs for the price, but unlikely to make it past a year for a lot of users.

Stupid issues caused by poor qc that allows Micro SD cards and OTG adapters to kill them, or some have reported that they wake up one morning and their redmi just refuses to turn on.

I wouldn't call it a terrible phone, but I also wouldn't call it a good one.
Also that god awful camera.

Did you know rotating the camera module will slightly improve image quality?

>>59451700
Moto G4.

Plus I cracked screen on it so that sux. 400$ phone that's like omfg

>>59452093
Oh, ok. I didn't know about those problems. What about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4? Did they fix them? how is it?

>>59452123
How is it compared to the play or plus models? I'm looking as cheap as I can go since I wasn't planning on buying a phone right now but need one for work and my current one shit itself.

>>59452188
Slower SoC and still shitty.

>>59452207
Worth it over the g4 play that has a gimped SD410. no need for the +.

>>59451333
100€

>>59452188
Redmi note 4 and note 4x seem to be pretty good for now, much less complaints, but they're also newer and less popular.

Personally though, I do like the redmi 4 prime and the note 4. Nice design, nice specs, and it looks good for the price. Around that price though you have other options too. Zuk Z2 LeEco Le Max 2 and Le 2 x520, vernee mars, etc.

Have a look around, check reviews and see what you like.

>>59452253
Faster cpu, weaker gpu.
And it honestly seems less shitty.

>>59452260
Mi4c.
3GB RAM
SD808
Good camera.

Redmi 4 with band 28 when?

>>59452282
Shit battery life, old as fuck SoC, only 2GB ram 16GB rom at that price, no SD.

At least recommend the redmi 4, meizu m5, or Oukitel C5 Pro you dip.

>>59452334
>>59452282
where would i get any of these?
also meizu m5 is too big

I have a Moto G4 and want to install LineageOS. Is the nightly suitable for everyday use at this point or should I wait for the snapshot? Also is it still necessary to flash the nougat soak test before installing if you haven't received the official update?

>>59452334
Still far better than that piece of shit LG K3 you mongoloid nigger.

>meizu m5, or Oukitel C5 Pro
>Mediakek
Hang yourself, retard.

is there any good smartphones with a good dac? and or 4k recording with good battery

>>59452359

So family, tell me why does the iPhone 7 with an 1960mah batter last longer than an 4000mah android phone? Is it really because of the optimisation meme?

What can I do about an android phone (Honor 7) that can't have more than 2 apps open without closing them when not in use, and then restarting them when I go back to it?

It's a RAM issue, I think, but the 'RAM available' notifier hasn't really changed much compared to before this issue. The keyboard's also laggy as fuck too now.

Any way other than resetting the phone?

I'm interested in the Huawei P9 lite, but I would like to de-botnet and de-bloat it as much as possible (off the Google ones I would probably only use the Play Store and the Gmail one) . Can I do that or I have to buy a different phone? Does the possibility (in this case, inability) to install Lineage OS on it have any influence on this matter?

>>59453098
Like I said, I don't miss it. If they did ONE thing right on the 5x, it's the camera.

Still better than the mi4c.

Good morning/evening/night/whatever my dear /g/entoomen, I need some advice:

Country: Italy
Carrier: Tim
Budget: under 250 €
Features: good camera, at least 3gb of RAM and the possibility to de-bloat and de-botnet it as much as possible (the only Google apps I need are the Store and maybe Gmail).

I have yet to see a good reason why anyone would be excited about s8 besides that s7 will become cheaper.

I have s6 and I am tired of it, but there's literally not much better that would excuse the price.

Explain. Most chink phones get like 1 update and then they get dropped.

You might be lucky if LineageOS makes its way to it though

>>59454410
The phone is 1 year old, why on earth would I need more updates for it if I'm buying it now?! If I'm not mistaken Lineage had an update as early as December. Not that I particularly care, I'm not a hardcore user.

Because this one has had like 5 updates since release and has official Mokee support? Official rom has been updated to nougat, mokee has a beta nougat build.

It's not lineage, but support isn't nomexistant either, it's still getting updates from Lenovo. It might see one final update to Android O before they drop it, like how the Z1 was the only SD801 phone updated to Nougat "officially".

>>59455327
To be honest, I'm waiting for the SD835 to come out. I'm sticking with my 5x until then.

I am looking for a $210 or under $200 phone.
Things I want.

-Must come in Black color.
-Decent amount of Custom ROMS available.
-Expandable storage. If there's no expandable storage then internal has to be 64 gigs or at least 32 gigs.

I have the ZUK Z2 in mind but I am not sure if its available in my country. I was gonna go with Mi5 or one of the redmeme phones but Fucking xiaomeme doesn't even make black phones anymore.

>>59455460
Moto G4.

How's the ZUK Z2 pro and is it worth it?

ZUK Z2 Pro, Honor 8, or ZenFone 3

I'm leaning towards the Honor 8 since it seems better and I can get it for $250. But I want to hear opinions.

>>59456378
>Honor 8
why? Is the camera better on it?

otherwise the zuk z2 pro beats it in performance.

>>59449752
I have an iPhone. I want Android.

>budget
I live in the US and have T-mobile, so would prefer to get it using Jump so I don't have to pay outright. Otherwise, I'd like to try to keep it under 500 dollars.

>features
Camera is a hugely important factor to me (rear-facing), as is battery life. USB-C would be a big plus, but it's not necessary.

I was thinking about checking out the S8 when it comes out, but otherwise, I'm open to suggestions. The Huawei P10 looked super interesting to me.

>>59456453
but honestly, the pro is too expensive.

zuk z2 is a much better deal if you're on a budget.

You really shouldn't be going for the mid-tier USD 250 + chinese phones.

Its either the budget kings like RNP3 or ZUK Z2 with some sacrifices in service and camera or getting a flagship phone like the s7 for about 450 USD.

Value diminishes in the mid rang/high range chinese phones

>>59456477
just get s8/flagships if you want a good camera. chinese phones take good selfie picks on higher priced phones but their rear camera cannot compete.

>>59456149
It does, but it doesn't come with the qc charger

>>59456304
Same for the pro. Charging is pretty quick on a 2A charger though, between an hour and a half, and two hours.

My previous phone (Nexus 5) was like 2.5 hours on stock charger.

>>59456304
There are some roms for it, check ZukForums, but the Z2 has more roms because of its popularity.

>>59456478
Zuk Z2 is like $150 from banggood now, isn't it?

Considering what you're getting for that price, anyone else feel like this review is just too critical?

>people actually believe this

Low radio to upper microwave band radiation causes cancer, reproductive damage, psychiatric issues (including early onset alzheimers and dementia, depression, insomnia, anxiety), immune system issues, and brain damage outright via cell death and reduced dendritic arborization.

The mechanism is activation of voltage gated calcium channels,likely via interaction with the charge groups comprising its voltage sensing subunit. This chronically elevated intracellular Ca2+ affects calcium regulated cellular machinery, leads to greatly increased NO synthesis, that then reacts with superoxide, ultimately forming peroxynitrite. A potent oxidant. VGCCs (and calcium generally) are also used for various sorts of signalling, aberrant activation is generally negative.

Cell phones and Wi-Fi are harmful to human health.

How is the Mate 9?

If you use an iPhone for calling people (you know the thing phones are meant to do), battery will go to shit. That's a massive flaw.

It's all universal truth accepted by everyone and why most of the free phone charging stations in malls have lightning cables. iPhones have always and will continue to have absolute dogshit battery life. iPhones are meant to be fashion accessories not phones, I don't get the in the nile thing here.

>Great specs for the price, but unlikely to make it past a year for a lot of users.

Pure bullshit and speculation based on shill fucks from /g/.

>Stupid issues caused by poor qc that allows Micro SD cards and OTG adapters to kill them, or some have reported that they wake up one morning and their redmi just refuses to turn on.

Micro SD card issues, like cards becoming dead in the phone are because people use shittiest chinese cards that would die in any device.

Also, anon that killed the phone with an OTG cable was a stupid fuck that used a .0001 cent chink cable of very questionable quality

>I wouldn't call it a terrible phone, but I also wouldn't call it a good one.

Reasons?

>Also that god awful camera.

No.

>Did you know rotating the camera module will slightly improve image quality?

Sup /g/. My iPhone 6 plus just got touch disease a few days ago while giving an uber ride to someone. I was just starting the trip when it happened and had to have my customer use her phone as a GPS and then had to deal with uber customer support and a bunch of other shit. My week has basically been fucking shit and I've had to use a tracfone flip phone with no GPS so I've just been going straight home after my regular day job.

Anyway I just got my check yesterday and my uber check a day before that and I've managed to scrape $500 for a new phone.

So what is a good phone I can get with that, that doesn't have a fucking apple logo on it?

>>59457651

The next OnePlus flagship or OP3T if you are impatient. They also have nice community support.

>>59457651
Axon 7 $300 right now on swappa. It's fucking awesome just got the latest 7.1.1 update, metal body, root with good Dev support, dual stereo speakers, fastest cpu. It's damn good. The specs are nuts for the price tag. I had pixel xl and an HTC 10 before this I don't regret it.

How do you root your device (not using chink apps such as king[o]root)?
I've been trying to root this weird LG phone for about two months with no success, not even from the chinkshit apps.

It's a LG Bello II.

If regular rooting methods do not work, how do I pull a backup of my phone?

Thanks I'll take these into consideration, they look pretty nice. Man using a flip phone is drving me nuts right now, I can barely write a short text with this dinosaur lol

>>59450284
buy it off of someone who's used it for more than three months, you can unlock it from MetroPCS after three months with a built-in app on the phone

also they're prone to random failures, we used to get a buttload returned for warranty replacement

You do realize that the phone itself has been killed by memory cards, right?

>>59459401
You looking to get something in the 5" size range again? If not the OP3t V20 (was on special $360) are pretty nice. If you like bloat and heavy branding of launchers etc then the Samsung should be fine.

Great camera quality, I don't have any other cameras and want to take some "decent" pictures from time to time
Good audio quality, I listen to lots of music on my current phone

I don't really know what /g/ thinks of this particular phone, but the fact that it comes with stock Android and has a godly battery life (thanks to the modules) is enough for me

>>59461882
How's the speaker? Do you plan on buying any others?
I would love to get it, I find it pretty overpriced though.

>>59461900
Pretty good. Comes with its own battery too. Don't compare it to stand-alone speakers though.

I want to get a tablet for reading. Mostly PDFs. What I need is a decent resolution 10" IPS screen. The other thing is probably and (micro) sd card slot. The rest doesn't really matter to me.

It's not hard per se, but s4 screens are held down by strong adhesive so it needs a lot of heat to get them off. If you don't have access to a heatgun, heat pad or have patience, I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Not counting price as a factor

>>59464995
Wait
When did it release
I think i saw one at my carriers store
WIthout pricing
Just Asus Zenfone 3 deluxe
And my issue was that it didnt connect to my network properly
And sometimes ejected my sim card
but it probably was from the repairing
I dropped it once on the stairs
Now i am much more accurate
But the repairer couldnt find an issue there
in the last days it became so intensive that i stopped using it
Also sometimes i just did not recieve calls

>>59465164
>When did it release
Mid last year I believe.

>I dropped it once on the stairs
Blame yourself then and not the phone

Also, the One Plus 3T is another good option, and less expensive I believe.

>>59465258
I am blaming my self
but it probably was from the repairing
I meant from dropping
But the service didnt find a hardware issue

>>59465338
Can you buy from ebay? Both the zenfone and the OP are on ebay, and most of sellers there accept international orders.

>>59465400

Out of my price range then

>>59456016
Ugly and expensive

>>59465380
What bothers me is that it seems that this people seems to know absolutely nothing about how cameras works, and then complain about bad performance on a pretty obvious bad hardware which was not made for that specific purpose.

>>59465441

>>59449752
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?

>>59449752
>Country - USA
>Carrier - AT&T
>Features - Low light camera, clean software, comfy
>Budget - $200
>Size - at most 5.2", preferably under

Even though it's older, would a z3 compact be a good buy in 2017? The specs are good enough for me, so that's not an issue.

>>59465811

The long exposure of the low light on the camera is pretty decent, may not be the sharpest, but it can get pics that my friend's note 4 couldn't take at all or could take, but would be much more dim with more grain.
The top photo, though kinda blurry, is already brighter than real life, then the long exposure shot is a bit much, but is better than barely being able to see anything at all, which the note 4 would do a lot of the time.

Also the Moto G4 is a bit large compared to the size they asked for.

Currently have Sony Xperia V. Have had it for 3+ years.
Looking to get a new small Sony phone.
Could get Z5 Compact for 400 euros or X Compact for 370 euros.
Which one of those should I get?
Would it be a better idea to wait for the "rumored" XZ Compact?

>>59466479
Wait if you can. X compact is far better in terms of battery life of you don't mind the missing water resistance.
