/SPG/ -SmartPhone General Discussion Thread

From the last thread
Honor 8 or HTC 10 Or maybe th p9
Or something in that range

>>59470390
OP3T

>>59470448
No. Carrier. Offers. It
Too. Expensive. Standalone

>>59470390
Presonally honor 8 for the design and the Kirin, but I guess for most people the HTC might be better.

>>59470376
600€, $549

same shit

>>59470471
Which has a more durable and vivid screen
And which will last longer?

>>59470541
HTC probably. The Honor is a glass phone with a Kirin SoC, the HTC is using a Qualcomm SoC.

Are these your only 2 options? Zuk Z2 is only $158 now, outright...

Also how are you getting a HTC 10 same price as Honor 8?

OP 3T is Pajeet Tier

Can't flash fully working custom ROMs in Huawei phones

Other brands are dogshit default ROMs as well.

>>59470580
I am not
Just it is easier for me to get it on a carrier plan
I wont pay for a phone in one time
THe diffrence between a HTC and a Honor is not that large in per month pricing (5 euros)

>>59470602
I'd recomend the HTC for now since it has a better XDA community.

>>59470602
>>59470580
Also the HTC is 2 years while the honor is 1 year

>>59470678
So you mean the honor is half the price then since its half as long?

>>59470750
Oh wait
My bad
Honor 8 is 24 months aswell

Guys, what do you think about Xiaomi Redmi Note Pro ?
I'm about to get one.

>>59470770
In that case, HTC all the way.

>>59470797
But why?

Kirin beat everything last benchmark I saw, MT does well against Snapdragon 6 series

>>59470816
I like what Mediatek is doing with the X and P series.

>>59470815
Well, it seems good in "low price" range.

How important is 4g? I'm in America and I want to get a meizu but willmyphonework says that the 4g isn't compatible.

when is moto g5+ coming out?
i need a new cheap phone that isnt chinkshit

>>59471017
Well 2g and 3g are getting phased out in the US and will no longer be available around 2019.

Are there any mod recommendations for Xiaomi Redmi 4?

>>59470390
>>59470602
HTC 10 has WiFi issues. google it.

Which would likely have better battery life on the Galaxy Note 4, Touchwiz M ROM or MIUI 8? (De-bloated in either case)

>touchwiz
>MIUI

Exynos model. No dev scene.

Yes

Fuck off and buy an iPhone you poorfag.

Is there any reason I shouldn't get an LG G6 if I can get it for $200 off? I'm coming from a Nexus 6p.

Are there any decent smartphones that are

>unlocked
>removable battery
>works on GSM networks AND Verizon

>>59473478
Do you consider the G4 Play to be decent?

>>59473478
Motorola x pure, ZTE axon 7 but only in theory, sprint nor boost will accept either or any unlocked phone, NS about iphones

What kind of rootkit does the Meizu ship with

>>59473529
He wanted a removable battery, moron.

>>59473533
>Meizu
>Rootkit
I think you meant Xiaomi, Meizu is a clean brand.

They even let you root the phone in the settings menu for ultimate freedom.

>>59473302
No where to grip
18:9 meme
Old SoC
Still expensive
LG may have not fixed QA issues
It looks good but you asked why you may not want it

What kind of rootkit does the OnePlus ship with

>>59474178
All of them. That's why it's got such a rich custom community.

>>59474253
Oh god

So about people who make ROMs. Do they literally do it for FREE?

>>59471637
Werks on my machine

Been with my 10 forever and never noticed

Can someone tell me how the S7 fares nowadays? Is it a good buy still? Was it ever?

>>59474298
they beg for donations but yeah they do it for free.

So if you're carrying a phone, PRISM related entities have pwned you regardless of OS or device, no?

Given that, what OS / ecosystem is the best armed against other malicious entities, attacks and exploits?

Which phone most secure.

>>59474928
None, just get whatever you like the most and stop worrying about the cia niggers looking at your anime

I'm getting into jewing apps on android.
What would be a good Jew PlayStore? I'm using aptoide atm

Also, more importantly, what would be a good anti virus/malware?

Sup /g/

I need an advice for a new phone.

It must have:

>excellent screen
You experience the smartphone through its screen, so it must be as good as possible.

>well built
If it breaks on its own, or because it fell on the floor, then it's not worth considering, since a broken product is worth nought. It doesn't mean it must be as invincible as a tank, just that it can survive everyday use and some accidental abuse.

>durable
I expect it to last three to four years.

>not stupidly expensive
I think €300 is a sensible price to pay, but as long as I'm not far into diminishing returns, then I'm willing to pay.

These are the main requirements. Then it would be nice if it had
>unbloated android
>small bezels
>a camera flush with the back
>a good battery
>mSD expansion slot
>removable battery

>>59474343
Due you have problems with it?

Is getting a Nextbit Robin a totally cooked idea?

They're cheap and I think an 808 with 3GB would suit my needs. I was previously considering a mi4, but I know that the 801 isn't actively seeing support for Quaaaaalcom anymore.

Looking for something with good, official rom support - under $200AUD

>>59476044
the redmi 4 prime will get los support soon since the sources were released recently. Maybe that's a phone for you too.

What's the difference between the snapdragon 626 and 650? I know that the 4xx line is the low end line the 6xx is for midrangers and the 8xx is for flagships. But where is the difference between those two?

>>59476084

Seems to have a Mediatek processor (though that may well not be an issue if sources have been released).

It does also appear to be around $250AUD.

Surely at that price I'd go for the Lenovo SUCC z2. I know it already has official Mokee (haven't fucked with that, but have heard good things)

>>59476121
it has a snapdragon 650

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-4-pro

Is there any reason not to get the Lenovo p2? It seems basically perfect.

>>59475836
Zuk Edge and Maizu Pro 6 Plus fit all but removable battery and expansion slot.

Maybe 1+3t?

No phone that price would reasonably last 3+ years though.

>>59476157

Seems that's the differences between the "pro prime" and the "prime".

This naming convention... it needs to end.

>>59476184
The Zuk Z2 is still better than the redmi phones in most aspects though.

It's the same price as a Redmi 4 Prime now too.

Why does everyone hate Google?

How's that even possible? Beside, my S4 is still working after 3+ years, after a battery change.

Smartphone with physical t9 keyboard. Do those things still exist?

>>59476848
Because an S4 wasn't 300 dollars back then.

>>59476863
BlackBerry?

>>59477009
That's qwerty tho

>>59476927
I got it for that amount tho (with a carrier)

What do you guys think about the HTC Desire 626?

>>59477056
>with a carrier
Doesn't count. It's not your phone until the contract ends.

>>59477076
The contract ended after two years. The phone is still working after almost four (it's giving signs of age though, hence why I want to change it)

>>59476761
you fell for the custom rom meme

What's the best / most reliable portable charger?

I've never used one, but I'm good on a trip and I figure it'll come in handy

How are the exynos-based phones? I get mixed messages about those and the s7 (edge)

Is the HTC 10 any good lads? Not been following phones and shit for a while, my M8 is nearing the end of its life and I've enjoyed using this phone.
I remember hearing the M9 had overheating issues or something?

>5 day battery life

I ordered the Redmi 4 Prime yesterday, apparently now I can get the Zuk Z2 on Banggood for the same price. Should I cancel my order? I care about LineageOS support, although MIUI seems good.

Shit I care about:
Zuk Z2:
>64GB
>USB-C

Redmi 4 Prime:
>only 32GB, but with microSD
>MIUI > ZUI

Both have spotty/unofficial LineageOS support.

>>59478297
Zuk Z2 has official Mokee support, better SoC, better camera, type C.

Redmi has better battery life.

Both are open source now so it's up to you, but personally I'd go with the Zuk. It's got a pretty big community (for chinkphone) on their own dedicated forum.

Relatively.

Tennmak Pro.

>>59478340
Thanks, I think the Z2 is a better overall phone. The lack of microSD isn't that important since it has more internal storage anyway.
Any idea how troublesome the ROM situation is for it? I know with Xiaomi you have to apply for an unlock code and wait about a week to have it. And LineageOS support for it seems abandoned since January.

I have around $400 to spend on a phone.
Axon 7, OnePlus 3T or is there something better?

I own Zuk Z2 Pro.

Unlocking was super easy, but use a browser with built in translate like chrome, or an extension, since the page will be in Chinese.

You just make an account, send them an unlock request, 2 minutes later you'll get an unlock.img via email. Flash via fastboot and you're unlocked.

I'm on rooted stock rom at the moment, I like ZUI so far.

>>59478751

Banggood is only selling the white version for cheap, and I'm really not getting a white phone, thanks anyway.

Dealextreme has the black version for about $20 more, but since you can't see the a real-time stock like you can on Banggood and Gearbest I wouldn't trust that they actually have it in stock.

HTC 10 is good but quite old at this point, try to get it for a nice price (500$ or less).

Otherwise if you don't mind a bigger phone, the Oneplus 3T is the current meme and has the same design as the HTC 10.

85 a month for the line including cost of phone per month or 85 just for the phone? 85 for everything including the phone is a good deal thats what I pay for unlimited everything and includes the payment on my S7 but 85 for just the phone is ridiculous

What is the battery life on the Honor 8? Some reviews say it can get like 6-7 SoT, others say 3h which is awful

I'm missing android generally, but not how sluggish/unresponsive the phones could be at times.

Has that got any better? If I want a phone with android nowadays where responsiveness is great, which would it be?

>>59482626
Buy it from either Gearbest, Banggod, Aliexpress or Dealextreme. These are the biggest sites for electronics from China. They normally have free shipping to all 1st world countries. You should really pay the extra $5 for a tracking code, but other than that these sites are great. Shipping is normally around 2 weeks.

These types of phones normally aren't sold by normal resellers, so the only option is to have it shipped from China.

any alternatives to Oneplus 3 t
I am thinking of getting it now
sub 700 eur budget

Samsung a3 (2017) or sony xperia compact?

>>59481583
For battery life (and custom ROMs in the future) pick SD625 version

For gaming performance pick Helio X20 version.

If you're in Europe you'll probably want the Redmi Note 4 Global that has B20 LTE.

>>59483283
Pretty sure they do have in stock, in which case the stock number is explicitly stated on the product page. Last week both Banggood and Gearbest had exact stock numbers for the Zuk Z2, and it was drained within about 5 days. Now it doesn't show stock number.

>>59483635
Maybe someone sells it.. otherwise just buy it from some chink site for cheap. I got mine from Gearbest.

>>59483635

Fuck off, /v/tard.

Gearbest is asking me to verify my identity after placing an order on their website. Presumably it's because I used a credit card to place my order.

Did anyone else get this? They want my photo ID and a picture of the physical credit card with the numbers masked and name visible.

Anyone here had a Nexus 5 with the power button issue and fixed it? Do I need a new button or can I just clean this one from the inside?

Vernee Apollo Lite, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x or Umi Plus?

You need a new button. It's not that hard to replace it.

Anyone has opinon on HOMTOM HT17 PRO

Whats the best ~$180 chink phone today? Is it the Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro?

I want something that's cheap and will last ~18 months and also needs to have dual sims. Also, anyone know of a phone with dual sims AND a microSD slot? All the shit i can find is either 1 sim + microSD or 2 sims... I have 2 sims(phone on one. Data plan on the other) and still want to use a SD card for music and movies.

How good is the screen on the OP3T
In durability and image quality
And how good is the sound?

>>59484588
Zuk z2 no question. It has dual SIM but no microSD.

it literally outdoes the s7 in terms of performance/ram management (check youtube). you can get it for $160.

>>59484219
they do it to make sure it's not a stolen credit card. they also do it on unverified paypal accounts.

google it, happens to tons of people.

>>59484369
Any reliable place I can order it from?

>>59483635
Websites like tradingshenzhen.com have it, but be aware that the Z2 (non-pro) does not offer LTE band 20, which means you'll likely have no LTE outside of bigger cities. Check with your carrier if your locations depend on band 20, or if other LTE bands are available.

>>59484670
Hmmm... Wheres the best place to buy? I see banggood has it in stock, but iv never used them before. Also, any obvious weak-points? I had an Mlais and Dogee phone before that, so I know all about things that you *think* would obviously be there, ending up being missing once you actually use the thing day-to-day(like sensors, or quirky memory management). This have any of those issues?

Yay or nay?

OP3T or HTC10

>>59484850
Probably Banggood, Gear best or Aliexpress. No major weak points except the camera, which is supposedly sub-par albeit 13 MP. It actually has some really cool and innovative things like the front button that you can customize the functionality of, swiping left/right does different things, tapping without pressing does something, holding without pressing does something else, etc. It has a solid finger print scanner as well and is probably the funnest device to mess around with ROMs, it also has official Mokee support.

Hello, I'm going to buy a new phone soon and could use some recommendations.
Current phone: iPhone 4s (bought for €20 from a friend, don't want iOS anymore)
Region: Europe
Budget: ~€300-400


Must have:
1080p
SD Card slot

Besides that I'd prefer a slightly smaller screen, but that's not mandatory.
I intend to use my phone to listen to music, watch videos, browse the internet etc... would be nice if it could emulate gba/some other consoles/handhelds. I've been thinking about the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) and the Moto Z Play, but I don't know a lot about smartphones so I hope you can help

Software question here.
I've used UC browser till now even though it's an unstable, borderline spyware sack of shit.
I stuck with it because it has the best video player I've ever seen in a phone browser.

A recent update has made that shitty too, so now I'm looking for a new browser.
I'm inclined to go with Firefox but I don't know if there's an add on that'll give me that sweet video functionality of UC.

Any suggestions?

My mom still uses my old T989d, which is an S2 variant. Absolutely nothing wrong if all you plan to do is call, text and play music, but it is balls slow doing anything, and I mean ANYTHING else. I actually reverted her to Android 4.3 because CM12 was causing all kinds of usability issues.

And as >>59484100 mentioned, it is a Samsung, which means all the usual hardware flakiness. Right now the USB port is getting all loose, the phone won't charge half the time, it seems to corrupt SD card for no reason, and the WiFi signal randomly drops if you're more than a few feet away from the router. In my experience, Samshit hardware tends to go south after extended use. Although I am not sure what other phones would still be good after almost 5 years of continuous usage. Still, I'm planning to buy her an Acer Liquid Zest to replace the aging Samsung, because $100 for something unlocked running a newer version of Android with no chink bullshit sounds good to me, and it's not like she needs a huge amount of processing power anyways. I would argue that's the superior route.

Can I have some purchasing advice please? This is what I have

>Verizon Wireless (USA) shared plan
>Lumia Icon, WP10
I actually really like the Icon, and it's been a very reliable, tough phone for me. Camera has held up decently (pic related) and I've grown to like the smooth UI a lot. It's just getting up there in age and isn't greased lightning quick anymore, plus the battery and network card seem to be on their way out. There's also a lack of WP devices on VZ's network, so I'm probably going to be going Android

Must haves
>Verizon compatible
>32GB+ internal storage, 3GB+ RAM
>Snapdragon 600/800 series or equivalent processor
>1080p resolution
>Under 5.5" screen size
>great camera
>hefty battery (at least enough to last at least 36 hours of light-moderate use before charge)

Preferred, unimportant Features:
>Expandable memory (32GB+)
>Blocky, Lumia-esque aesthetic (Sharper corners are good to me)
>Good sound quality for headphones
>Water resistance/good build quality
>good range of case options
>~$550 or less

Usage habits:
>Light App use (used to and okay with WP's nonexistent app ecosystem)
>Normie social media apps (FB, Insta)
>Almost never use cloud services
>Heavy music and camera use
>Frequent messaging and web browsing

I've been looking at the Pixel, and less seriously, the Blackberry Priv. I'm not familiar with Androids other than the main flagship ones, so this is all new to me. What else should I consider?

Thanks!

>tfw for the longest time my only hope for stock-ish Android is a CM port that still has problems and isn't being developed anymore

They stealth down-swapped the camera from the pro. http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7511&idPhone2=8125&idPhone3=8038

That and the nano SIM only and that there does appear to be a Zuk shill on board. But its definitely in contention as a new phone model as opposed to the (good I think) Redmi Note 3 typically advised.

>>59491114
>no image stabilisation
>bigger pixel size
I wouldn't call that a straight up downgrade to be honest. Plus it can now record 4k. Only think I'm missing from my Z2 is 60fps1080p smooth video and it'll be a perfect phone for me.

>>59475845
Not at all, fucking everything werks, love the way it feels

>>59491140
RN3P has done 4k 30fps and 60fps 1080 for a long time

>>59491156
Yeah but the Zuk actually has a usable camera. I've seen the rmn3p camera, and unless you're in direct sunlight it's a piece of shit. I intentionally didn't buy the rmn3p because of that god awful camera.

Oops, I didn't know there are different kinds of SIM cards now.

>>59491307
Can't they be both?

>>59491361
The Zuk does have the snapdragon 820 and 4GB ram so performance will never be an issue either. The Redmi does have slightly better battery life though.

>>59491326
I've looked online at that and it doesn't seem to work with the CDMA stuff. The frequency checker says it'll only do 4G LTE, and I'm not willing to take that gamble.

Is there something like the v20, but smaller? How's the G5 in comparison?

The biggest issue is really just the lack of compatibility with Verizon

What is /SPG/'s favorite video player with subtitle support? On a Galaxy S7, I'm having issues with audio/video being out of sync in MX Player.

>>59490990
The Priv has aged very badly, so I wouldn't really consider it. Overheats and lags quite a bit.

Should I get the blackberry priv or wait for the keyone

>>59491656
Yeah... Reading more reviews about it seem to indicate that it's not holding up so well.

I just kinda want something low profile (not fuckhueg like the LG's) but also pretty good performance wise. It really looks like the Pixel is the only one out there that suits my needs on Verizon's site, but it's just a tad pricey. The V20 seems alright, but it's just too big. I don't have manlet hands, I just don't want something cumbersome. GF has a G4 and it's a bit much for me.

I went with banggood, which only had the white version(DX had black, but it was another $50cnd)

I used eBates.com to get a 3% rebate, and also the MarchSale10 coupon code to save 10%. I was able to buy the white phone and the cheapest grey case for $210cnd... which i'm happy with. Also ordered a tempered glass screen protector off ebay for $0.99cnd. I figure i'll have all this in hand in 30-40 days since i cheaped out on free shipping(paid shipping obviously comes faster, but it also means i'll get hit with duties. So it'll be $10 more upfront PLUS probably $40 more when it gets delivered. Better to wait another 10-20 days)

Lads, if i can get my hands on a new galaxy note 4 with exynos, should i do it?
I like the pen and the size, but will this phone work well nowadays?
It renders at 1440p which is overkill but i duno if one can change the resolution in android phones.

Honor 8
4gb ram
kirin 950 is like a snapdraggon 820, might even be faster
1080p 5'2 screen
one of the best cameras on the market
pretty solid 3000mah battery
and in my opinion one of the best looking phones
and it's pretty cheap for what it is, it's like 400$

thank you very much, I was searching the exact fingerprint sensor.

How hard it is to root/unlock the Honor 8? Does it have good rom support?

Biggest reason ppl get the Z2 is the 5.0" display and the price.

so why dont everyone do it, pigment boy?!

paired with the 3.5k battery which gives tremendous battery life on the small screen, yes.

idk what to get. I want a compact phone but I don't like how the x compact looks with the glossy back. And other phones are too big for my taste.

I'm about to buy a Zuk Z2, but I read that it has a ton of bloatware and is very different from stock android. How true is that ?
I know I hated my time with ASUS ZenUI and now want something as close to stock android as possible.

I'll get my Z2 in a few days, and I'm thinking about sticking with the stock ZUI ROM.

I watched this video and it looked rock solid & stable as fuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nksaLMho-QY

Is it actually worth it or should I flash Mokee?

The only bloat I know of is the Chinese cloud service. If I were you I'd just root the stock ROM and debloat it. The ZUI rom is a bit different, just check out the vids on YouTube, but it reminds you of iPhone's UI, with the bottom to top bar and stuff, except highly customizable.

If you check Zukfans.eu you'll find that even the "official" Mokee 7.1.1 ROM lacks some important features, so i'd stick with stock until some of those are patched.

Z5 Compact
Galaxy A3 2017
iPhone SE

Oukitel K6000 Pro
Redmi 4 Pro
Redmi Note 4 Global

All will easily do +12h SoT

Shouldn't be hard to root but custom ROM support is almost nonexistent

I'm drooling over these chink phones but I just can't seem to find any that will work with Verizon. I can't switch carriers, unfortunately.

Is there any way to get a Zuk Z2 Pro, Honor 8, or even some Huawei's to work with the network?

How do you like the Priv? How long have you had it? Most of the reviews I say are pretty cautious about it.

Thanks for the advice.
Do you know if the Redmis have dragontrail glass displays like the oukitel, or something similar?

Country: Canada
Current Phone: Xperia Z3C

Looking for something around $400 CAD.

>Camera is important to me
>Don't care about removable battery or micro SD (so long as there is like a 64GB option)
>Good custom ROM support is important to me (My Z3C never got the official Android Nougat update from Sony, and the custom scene is basically dead)
>Fingerprint scanner would be nice

Basically my big complaints about the Z3C are the lack of support and the shitty camera (due to Sony's proprietary noise reduction algorithm that can't be disabled).

Research so far:
>Zuk 2 $210 CAD
>Honor 8 $380 CAD
>OnePlus 3T $599 CAD
