My LG G3 is starting to shit itself, and rather than put up with a dissatisfactorily performing phone, so I'm looking for a new one.

I've heard that the OnePlus 3T is a pretty damn good phone for the price range, competing with the likes of the Google Pixel or Galaxy S7 whilst being a fraction of the price, but it's still a £400 phone I'd use for little more than basic functionality and Pokémon Go.

I have a TalkTalk contract sim, UK, Ideally I'd want a big phone like the LG G3 again. (146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm).
Removable battery is preferable, as is removable storage but it's not essential if there's at least 128gb of storage. The OnePlus 3T lacks both of these.
Adequate performance and high memory (not 2 fucking gb) are a must.

I like the axon 7 but from what I've read it seems the QC isn't quite there, getting a little put off, esp as I live in UK so no customer service, I'll buy off ebay and then I'm on my own.

Might just get the Oneplus 3T, just need to deal without the micro sd slot

>>59607260
> What's your problem with Chinese phones anyway?
Software. I wanna pure Android without bugs. And nice/midle camera, at least.

>>59607447
If you want a removable battery then
Moto G5
LG G5 SE

>>59607790
Then buy a fucking Nexus.

Good phone for murrica on at&t for under $250? Decent build quality, LinOS support, 720p, and at least 64GB of internal storage and/or SD support would all be nice.

I'm about to buy a Doogee Shoot 1. Talk me out of it

>>59608154
Google stopped making them though. And Motorola phones have stock android too.

Best phone for playing Moe Can Change Myroid 4 Life and Love Live School Idol Festival?
I had a supercheap chinkphone but it died months ago. So I need a good and affordable phone for calls/music and pic related.
I had spent so much time in that game that I just can not spend a day without it.

Bonus point for no android 4.4 (I had that version and sucked)

>>59608721
So do Chinkphones like Vernee and Oukitel.

Your point?

>>59608411
Moto G4 / G4 Plus
Moto G5 Plus (no LinOS yet but it's pretty much guaranteed to get it, every single Moto G phone before it has)
LeEco Le Max 2 (has official LinOS, full support for AT&T bands)

Should I buy the midnight black OP3T or go with the regular gunmetal?

>>59608986
That isn't even a question that you should really be asking, just get whichever one you prefer the look of since they are exactly the same otherwise

>>59609005
I'm probably the most indecisive person on the face of the planet.

>>59608986
>>59609026
Black version will be rarer so the resale value will probably be higher. Looks nicer too imo.

>>59609026
Tbh, I could probably give you a run for your money

Any release date confirmed on the Oneplus 4 (5)?

about to buy the 3t and I'll be gutted if it comes out within a month or 2

>>59608896
Is Moto G5 Plus even available in the UK? Doesn't seem like it.

Guys I fucking have to get off Verizon. I really loved my Turbo but it's going to crack open and die any day now, it's really starting to show its age on being able to function, and the worst part is I haven't had more than .25 GB of space at any given time and I have no idea where it all went. I have absolutely no apps or photos or music or anything on this phone, yet in the storage display it says all 32gb are fucking taken.

I've been thinking of getting a S7 or S8, but they're kinda expensive and I'm hesitant to sign off on another contract. I would just go with the Google fi project but I don't really like their phones. For one thing, I can't get over having the bottom menu bar with the home and back buttons take up screen real estate.

Fuck me.

>>59609387
What's your opinion of the Moto G5+?

>>59609378
Good info, because this looks like a very reasonable phone for my needs.

Stupid question but SIM free means unlocked and ready to just put my SIM card in, no contract plan needed, right?

>>59609387
>$320 for 10gb data
wtf, I can get unlimited data for 15€/mo. Currently paying 6€/mo for 4gb.

>>59609407
It looks alright but I never know until I use the phone for like a week.

>>59609479
Yeah idk how they got around to fucking us over so badly. But they charge my gfs family the same and they don't mind because they're rich as hell.

>>59609534
They get away with it because they always say the upkeep of the network costs so much when they barely do shit, American Carriers just gouge consumers and the govt just let's them do it

>>59609475
Yes, just put your sim card in. If you'd like something similar but cheaper then the regular Moto G5 is already available to buy in the UK.

>>59609584
The added processing ability matters to me, but I also just found that the G5 Plus listing on Carphone Warehouse is the 2gb mode, not 4gb. That's a dealbreaker.

>>59609578
And the unlimited plans aren't actually unlimited

>>59607447
There is a 128GB 3T version but it's $480 (which is still relatively cheap if you take into account the performance)

Should I buy the Axon 7? It's a bit expensive for me but my options are limited as I need t-mobile band 12, prefer custom ROMs, and still want decent performance. I guess another option is the Moto G5+ but it has an LCD screen and SD625.

Oneplus 3t black edition was meant to go up for sale 5 mins ago, what's going on?

>>59610556

>>59610420
Xperia X Compact is good but it isn't a flagship. It's essentially a smaller version of the Xperia X. The chipset is much better than the 810 in the Z5C in terms of efficiency and heat. However, you don't get 4K video recording on the X Compact, nor do you get waterproofing.

There is a rumored Xperia XZ Compact on gsmarena but no news links have been posted on why they think it is coming.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz_compact-8610.php


iPhone SE is a great little phone, the A9 chip is still great today even beating the Snapdragon 820 in benchmarks. If you're looking for a 4" phone this is basically your only option for decent performance. Only downside (and reason I haven't sidegraded from the 6S) is that it doesn't have 3D touch. Seems like a gimmick but is actually super useful.

>>59610872
Okay, so it went up at 00:15 for whatever reason.

>>59611150
Camera is fine for a phone that's under $200. Also there's a 128gb version available if 64gb isn't enough.

>>59611192
Won't be under $200 anymore, more like $290

>>59611200
Why's that?

Will I be able to get an s8 on contract? If not, what's the best current ~$400 phone? OP3T or Axon 7?

>>59611107
Would buy if it had a smaller screen and built in 3.5mm jack.

>>59611231
Also I'm on AT&T, so most chinese phones are out of the picture.

>>59611231
Why wouldn't it be available on contract?

looking for a case for the OP3T I just ordered, looking at the spigen neo hybrid and the otterbox, smashed my last phone, any recommendations on a case that will withstand the most drops?

>>59611307
I don't know. Is on contract a cuck choice though?

>>59611329
it's not necessarily a bad idea, personally I'll never do it again as I'm now paying £40 a month for the next year for a contract which would cost a lot less, if it weren't for the fact it's paying off my S7E

>>59611359
Forgot to clarify, it's paying off my broken S7E

>>59611023
appreciate the choice words, I was comparing them [z5c and xc] and really the XC seems lacking in addition to a hard plastic shell. Amazon is being a prick about the Z5C which I'd rather purchase despite being nearly 2 years old.

>>59611383
Yeah the Z5C is definitely the better built of the two. I wouldn't recommend any phone with the 810 though, it's a really shitty chipset. Z5C ended up with worse battery life than the Z3C because of it. It should still work ok though, and you do get an update to N (but probably not O). You can unlock your bootloader and install custom software, but you lose certain camera DRM that make the camera work better in low light.

I find Amazon to be pretty overpriced in terms of phones, especially older Sony ones. See if you can find a reseller in your country, or even try ebay. Here in Canada the main reseller i know about has run out of Z5Cs.

One good thing about the X Compact is that it has USB Type C. I have had reversible connectors for my last couple phones so I don't think I would enjoy going back to microUSB.

I ordered my ZUK z2. To get ready, i bought my 2nd data(tablet plan) sim for my current dual-sim phone, and swapped it with the current one(which was a pay as you go data plan) in my current phone(Mlaix MX)

Problem is, for some reason my Mlais MX cant use the data on the new sim... Or on the old one either(tried swapping back)

anyone know how to fix this? I can get texts on that sim, but if i try to access the net, its just a "no server found" error. It also only shows 3G on the phone, even though its a 4G sim. I tried messing around in the mobile networks(and made sure the APN details were correct for my provider - Rogers)

Anyone have an idea? I know its a stab in the dark, since i cant really give too much info, since i honestly dont know WHERE to look.

>>59611221
Double the storage, check Geekbuying or Banggood, you'll see

>>59611309
Ordered the tudia omnix and the spigen neo hybrid

>>59611542
Your Mlais MX sounds like the second SIM slot is only reserved for calls/text
It might support 2G/EDGE, but if your provider phased it out then that would be why you're not getting data, same shit on my old Asus Zenfone 2's second SIM

looking for a lower end 5" phone with a US warranty, would Moto G4 play or Blu Life one x2 mini be a better purchase?

>>59611942
No, i replaced the old data sim with a new one. the phone and text sim is still set to be on 2G(phone only supports 1 4g/3g sim, and the other is forced into 2g)

Just did a factory reset and same thing.... I think i fucked the phone up somehow when i swapped the sims... Fucking irritating as hell..

>>59612117
Or your APN settings are off, check that

>>59612090
Don't get the Blu, their warranty is a joke cause I have the BLOX2 non mini and their warranty company is some chicken shit outfit in Oklahoma and require you to get an estimate with a letterhead shipped to them so they can determine to honor it or not

>>59612201
checked that too... The sims were from the same network(Rogers in Canada) so that shouldnt be the issue either.

Honestly, i thought it must be something like a freak hardware failure, but again, the sim still shows up in the settings, and i can still receive texts on it..

>>59607056

Why would I choose the Redmi Note 4 or 3 over the Redmi Note 4X?

The 4X has the SD625, 3GB RAM, and various official ROMs (Supports the same ROMs as the Note 4).

What's the unlock process like, in regards to getting TWRP and a custom ROM on a Xiaomi phone?

Asking because I'm genuinely considering getting the Note 4X, as a poor Australian. Was originally considering the Nextbit Robin.

>>59612606
>Why would I choose the Redmi Note 4 or 3 over the Redmi Note 4X?
Redmi Note 4X 64 GB version isn't common.

>What's the unlock process like, in regards to getting TWRP and a custom ROM on a Xiaomi phone?
http://en.miui.com/unlock/

>>59612664
I've never used over 10GB or storage on a phone. I don't play games or torrent.

So it looks like a pretty straight forward process, unlocking.

Thanks!

>>59607056
Hey /spg/, does anyone know how good either Apple or Verizon is at determining if a phone suffered internal damage not covered under warranty?

Because I'm a huge sperglord and a retard, I ended up throwing my iPhone against a wall in a fit of anger today. Now it's broken and won't turn on. After talking with both Apple and Verizon tech support, they've both concluded my phone is irreparably broken and needs to be replaced.

Luckily, my phone is still under limited warranty. But as you can guess, the warranty doesn't cover "accidental" damage like throwing it against a wall. I only told Verizon and Apple that my phone stopped working all of a sudden, so I can still get my phone replaced for free, but only if Apple or Verizon don't notice I threw it against a wall.

I have the option of taking my iPhone to an Apple retail store tomorrow and getting it replaced there, or receiving a new iPhone from Verizon in 3 days and then shipping my broken phone back.

So my question is, which company is more likely to notice that my phone was damaged from being thrown against a wall?

There's no damage on the exterior, my concern is that they'll notice it was thrown against a wall when they open up the phone to do a component check.

>>59613141
Apple store for sure, a carrier will get uppity about it

>>59613440
Can you elaborate? Why exactly is a carrier more likely to get "uppity"? And what makes Apple less greedy and more likely to not ask questions if they notice signs of blunt force upon opening up the phone?

Does Lineage OS improve or worsen battery performance? I just ordered a Me Max 2 and the only thing that worries me is the 3000mah battery powering a huge high res display.

>>59614097

Are you me? The struggle is real. Leaning towards the 4X because it's cheaper and I've never done Xbax HUEG phone before.

It looks like the 4X has quite a selection of official ROMs, but neither it or the Succ Z2 have Lineage

OnePlus 3T or Google Pixel? Coming from a Aysoos Zenfone 2 Laser. This phone is starting to get slow and outdated. It's rooted with LineageOS (Nougat, 7.1.1) and I think it'll be dead by the time Android O comes out. I was thinking of the Pixel but it's 900 CAD. The 3T on the other hand is cheaper, but idk there's something about it I don't like. Also a question for the 3T, it comes with the fast charger in the box, correct?

What the fuck I am reading.

I want a smartphone that's fully unlocked, and 100% customizable. I don't want chink shit you need to hack into, I want a fucking open phone.

I want to root it without hacking it.

What's the best option for this? Money is not a concern.

>>59614526
OP3T is fantastic for its price range and yeah, it comes with a dash charger by default.

>>59614688
define "hack into"
most of the time, in worst-case scenarios, you have to just run some 3rd party script on your pc with the phone plugged in, or in best case scenario, run some script from the official vendor.

its honestly not difficult at all

Is the Le Max 2 the only option for a cheap phone with an 820 and band 12? Axon 7 and OnePlus 3T are double the price, and the Z2 doesn't have all the US bands.

i needed a phone relatively soon and I just pulled the trigger on a midnight black like my soul OP3T how badly did I fuck up?

>>59614767
>define "hack into"
If the software/firmware on the phone needs anything 3rd party or not supplied by the manufacturer to root it, I'll consider it hacking.

If I'm buying a phone from say Samsung or something, and Samsung offers no official way to root my phone, then it needs hacking, and I'm not interested.

It's disgusting how people boast about Android being all open source and an open platform yet seemingly none of the phones on the market are actually open, it's all just community driven hack tools instead.

>>59615060
xiaomi provides a first-party tool for unlocking the bootloader. Moto phones do as well, iirc.

and while I agree, its pretty gross that most vendors dont supply an easy way to unlock bootloaders, once you actually get past that step (which you only need to do once, and in most cases literally only takes minutes), the phone is as open as it possibly could be.

your aversion to "hacking" is going to exclude a lot of great phone options from your choice for essentially no reason.

Performance or battery life?

I've narrowed my choices between these two phones that are probably in the same price range.
What's the better phone for the long run. I don't usually play games cause its gay.

>>59615920
save up a little and just get a oneplus 2

>>59616334
I can get that for the same price used as the Note 4, would the battery have degraded much in an ~1 year old phone?

Though I'd rather stick to cheaper phones, since I don't need flagship performance, nor do I want a too flashy one only to have some subhuman gypsy steal it.

Moto G4 here (not the plus one)

Is it possible to root the thing without losing the warranty? With most of my phones I always ended up having trouble and went back to stock ROMs, but still needed root functionality just for two or three things. I can't really trust Lineage OS to be a better experience on the phone than CyanogenMod was on anything I owned either.

My Samsung Galaxy S4 is on the decline

Looking to upgrade soon.

I was thinking about getting a S7 after the S8 comes out, but I just saw a On5.

Which one should I go with?

>>59616294
Get the A7, the 3T is only worth it if you heavily customise the whole thing. No problem with that, but you'll have to find a ROM that's not a unified devices build.

I'd get the A7, all the ROM modding I'd do it on my older phone.

Man fuck the smartphone market.

>>59616714
the original idea of oneplus was to offer flagship tier specs at budget tier prices

now they offer flagship tier specs at almost flagship tier prices, and are slowly turning into just another Samsung/Apple/HTC etc

>>59616714

Their marketing was ten kinds of fucked, from “break your phone guise” to a blatantly sexist contest, and that was before they shipped their first phone.

The One had a number of defects (yellow screen) and customer support that did fuck all.

They overhyped the Two and released a phone that underdelivered and is still wanting for timely updates.

The Three is the only phone of theirs to not have a stupid flaw on release.

Why those fucking curved edges?
Who is the goddamn idiot that thought that having a screen curved in that way was a good idea?
Why of all the fucking useless gimmicks they chose the one that had the most drawbacks?
Because of those edges
>you always have glares on the screen
>the two sides of the screen become literally unusable
>everything that is displayed gets distorted along the edges because of the curvature of the screen

I wanted to buy the S8 because of those small bezels, but the lack of a version without the curved edges made me change my mind.

I need to find another product to put at the top of my wishlist.

Take it to a phone repair place and find out how much they want to fix it

>>59620365
I fix phones for a living and yes it's crazy expensive to fix with an original quality screen. Not as much as a new phone but it's up there. Personally I'd prefer to fix it at least once if you know everything else still works or can buy a brand new one (not used or "refurbished") for less. I've seen way too many scammed people buying used phones and dealing with water damaged shit that doesn't show problems right away. Also, I'm obviously biased as fuck.

Here in sweden we take ~300€ to install a new screen on S6 edge. I'm sure that's far more expensive than in other countries though.

>>59620324
I did order the 128, was never even considering the 64, still would be nice to have the option for more space

>>59620691
Yes most likely, it's a normal screen issue. Mostly it's because they were damaged from a drop but the edge screens are having these problems even without any real damage dealt to them.

Edge screens are really fucking dumb in a world where normal screens shatter from relatively small drops.

>>59620878
Not exactly, but I do use quite a bit sometimes.

>>59620286
>The round corners aren't a meme, they make the screen less likely to crack if dropped.
I know about this little detail, but is this effect significant in any way or form? Also, usually it's the covering glass that is subject to cracks, because it extends up to the frame, while the screen is usually smaller than the glass: in other words the frame is what takes the impact, and is usually transferred to the glass because it's in direct contact with the frame on all sides, while the screen isn't.
>Ever wonder why aeroplanes have round windows?
As I said I know what happens to forces when they encounter sharp edges, but again, is there any actual study that shows how rounded corners on a smartphone's screen improve screen survivability during various impacts? I honestly doubt the engineering of any smartphone extends to finite elements analysis and actual research on products survivability: usually is marketing that dictates shape and forms, and I bet this is just another gimmick devised by those marketing experts subhumans.

For the waterproof Xperias, how do you glue them back? Do you have the same kind of material as the official repair shops have?

For the Xperia Z1 specifically, what's the most common problem it has?

>>59621020
I'm retarded, what phone?

>>59621202

>>59621041
I clean it out regularly.

>>59621103
We do get pre-cut tape to seal them up but you can never rely on it being waterproof unless you use silicone or something similar. The original "springy" tape I have yet to see available but doubt it would make much of a difference. Nevertheless the water seals dry up within 1-2 years and ANY impact, even if it doesn't crack the glass or dent the frame, can mess up the water resistance. Frankly you should never expect a phone to survive being submerged and always try to protective from excessive splash or rain.

The Z1 had problems with the hatch rubber coming off, rendering it non-waterproof, again. The back also breaks easily and repairing it is a pain in the fuckin arse as everything inside has to align to the millimeter or it would make gaps and the back would eventually fall off. It doesn't help everything is either "clicked" into place or held down by tape and glue. Oh and they're infamous for losing the ENTIRE touch funtionality if the glas ever gets a single crack. Unlike the iphone which I see people using every day with spiderweb cracks all over.

>>59621020
eh... Other than the microSD, i think the zuk Z2 is a better buy(especially if you want something more single hand friendly, and better battery life)

Its definitely better than the other meme flagships tho.

Doubt they'll only sell the 2gb version of the Moto G5 Plus when they're selling the 3gb version of the regular Moto G5

>>59621015
Do you ever replace just the glass when it's cracked or is it always the whole display assembly that gets replaced

>>59621368
Yeah, so why are they only listing the 2GB on Carphone Warehouse, the only place listing the plus at all so far? So they can announce it as contract-only for someone else later?

>>59621412
Personally I've only replaced the entire display assembly on phones. On Ipads I've replaced just the digitizer hundreds of times though.

Removing the digitizer on a curved screen is just about impossible or at least so I've heard. On other phones like Iphone it's possible but 10-20x more time consuming and you have a high risk of either destroying the egg shell LCD or an even higher risk of scraping it so results are rarely great but servicable for yourself. Most of our customers wouldn't accept it though, if there's just a speck anywhere they'll come right back most of the time.

>>59621441
I assume the 4gb version will be available later.

>>59619896
leave it be

A E S T H E T I C

>>59621466
Yeah, i think with the iphone4, they cemented the digitizer to the LCD... which is odd, cause you could still find the digitizer sold on its own, on PLENTY of ebay pages... The kinda person who has the tools and skill required to re-laminate a digitizer to an LCD is probably going to have a professional supplier for those replacement parts, so i figure most of the ebay sellers are just taking advantage of the idiots who dont know any better.

*I almost fell into that trap. Then I watched a youtube tutorial before buying the smashed 5s and replacement digitizer, and clued in that even if i *DID* have the tools, its doubtful id be happy with the results since i dont have a clean-room to do the actual install.

>>59621613
You need to manually "cut" the lcd from the old digitizer, clean it up, put on a new digitizer with a uh "fluid" which cements the parts together (without getting dirt between as you said) AND cure it with a strong UV light.

Plenty of people ask to replace just the glass and some even come with the parts but It's simply not worth it. People want it done FAST so lowering the price for a shitload more work and extending the repair time to several hours would probably render my store less customers. Especially since we're only two here at a time so you can't just have someone on digitizer-replacement-duty for those who are willing to wait or you will lose those that need it fast. Mostly within an hour.

Youtube is truly the bane of people valuing my work. They expect it to take literally 5min. It's always fun when they take their stuff "to do it myself" and then come back with a bag of mixed parts and STILL hope for me to fix it CHEAPER since they did "half" the work. Nevermind sorting all that shit out and getting a screw length wrong in the motherboard can downright kill it.

Well I'm off, closing up now, thanks for the questions. I'll check later when I get home if anyone asks anything else.

exynos is better, but if you're on verizon or sprint it won't work.

be extra careful buying from amazon for exynos, 99% no warranty, so only buy fuffiled by amazon units

look out for bad sellers in the reviews

>>59629967
Mine does. If I need to stop the music I just unplug the iem.

>>59618055
No he's not

>>59629227
What's even the point of that? Between that and the lack of home/back/menu buttons I'm probably just going to get an S7 instead of the S8.

>>59631400
Yes you are.

im about the buy the redmi note 4x for ~200 CAD in the ali sale.
Was going to get the zuk z2, but durability and battery are really important for me, and I dont think the 625 over the 820 or the extra gig of ram are going to make the extra difference in the future to where i'll regret my decision unless google starts really fucking android up.

If there is anything I should consider, please stop me.

Why is touchwiz hated so much?

>>59632178
Cause it used to be fucking atrocious and very ugly. Now it's not really so bad. Same reason people say "lagdroid"

Is what im looking for even in a phone right now?

>forward speakers
> snapdragon 821 or higher
>water resistant
>GOOD battery, none of that 2300 mah bullshit
> fairly large, at least 5.7 in
>usb c
> fingerprint reader
>no fucking gimmicks, just an overall good phone
> LESS THAN $700

So many phones come close, but no forward facing speakers on a lot of them kill it for me.
Currently using a note 2 and looking to upgrade soon.

Also looking for carriers. Best carrier for $50 or under a month?

>>59622551
note 4 boiz

is there a good newer alternative to note 4?

>>59632424
Wait for htc 11. Should be out around Q2.

Thank you, I've already got the Exynos following your advice.
It's pretty fast though, and apparently I also got the ISOCELL camera, not sure if it's worst than the Sony but it takes amazing photos.

I'm not from the US so I can pretty much choose either one of those from different carriers unlocked.

That should've been the note 7, let's hope note 8 doesn't explode

Meizu Pro 6 Plus.

Unlike the Note 7, it has good battery life and doesn't explode.

My iphone 5c finally took a shit and i need a new phone asap,
USA
budget 250$
Metro PCS
Prefer something on amazon for speed..

Moto G5 Plus

>>59624134
Micro USB is a FUCKING mistake
Mini is better, so much fucking better. I dont care if it makes the phone larger as long as I dont spend $200 a fucking year on new cables

>>59627241
>Like the OnePlus 3t's dash charger
>Like the responsiveness
>Like the screen size
>Like the standby time
>Fucking expensive
>Got an Axon 7 instead
>still really want a fucking op3t
>>59627989
which gen x?
Because if it's not atleast a 3rd you got kiked fucking hard.

Does the zuk z2 have an international version or will I be just fine with the Chinese one?

>>59631735

Same boat as you, just looking for a reason not too. Is the big phone meme to much for a dad-to-be like me? Does Android cope well with one-handed use on a big screen?

Coming from a BB Q10.

Looking to get something under $200USD
I live in America so I prefer not to go for a china phone (Liked my k3 note, but had a few issues with 3g speeds)

I don't need anything stronger than my k3 note, so I'd rather prioritize the camera and/or battery life over excessive ram

Is the moto g4/g4 plus still the go to?
Assuming you can flash stock and remove amazon ads/apps, 150 seems pretty reasonable

hope G5+ comes to flipland soon, my G1 is starting to act funny after years of service

So, the Lenovo P2 sounds pretty good as I am mostly concerned with battery life. What are the downsides?

I'm thinking about getting an S7 after the S8 guts its price. Are there any phones out now that compete with it in terms of size, power, price, etc?

>>59633725
Should've noted that I'm on verizon and a slave to their band.

>>59633216
Ausfag here, I'm using the Chinese version with the official Chinese rom.

Everything works great.

>>59633587
Check out LeEco phones. Really good cameras for the price and great audio quality at the cost of built in 3.5mm and micro SD card.

How do I stop this piece of shit service from wakelocking my phone endlessly?

>>59633725
OP3T

Best phone for $300-400 in the US? Camera, battery life, and both of the games >>59608807 mentioned are the most important things to me.

>>59633919
Stupid weaboo. Just buy an iPhone.

Guys I got a question, heres a greentext

>crack screen hiking
>worked fine and display showed, didnt change it immediately
>suddenly two days ago during work, display doesnt show up but phone screen lit up and stuff
>at times the screen shows up for like a minute, and when I turn back it goes back to a lightened up black screen
>ocassionally some static and then pitch black in very sporadic moments

Being said, the display shows up occasionally when charging up from a dead battery, but doesnt show when charged fully, Im getting the screen fixed this Saturday. Could there be a problem with the digitizer too?

K3 Note was good, it's hard pressed to find something on that level under $200. You can get Mi5 at a bit higher, around $220.

Or you can try LeEco phones, pic related is from LeEco Cool1, a phone by Coolpad after they were bought by LeEco. It has LeEco cameras and Audio software, the most glaring difference is it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. I'm no camera guy so it's just auto settings plus longer exposure.

And if all else fails, Zuk Z2.

If your priority is cameras under $200. Then look no further, you need a Dogee Shoot 1! Here's a shot. I too have used the Lenovo K3 Note and I can tell you that the Doogee Shoot 1 has better cameras. 2 better rear cameras.

>>59633935
I have one and hate it. It's time to replace it.

>>59633587
Zuk Z2 has a pretty good camera for the price even though it is a Chinese phone.

>>59611023
There's actual waterproofing on the XC but it hasn't gotten the IP rating outside of Japan.

>>59616581
I had a ZenFone 2 and a Lumia 640 LTE, both of their endurance ratings were pretty accurate if you use them for an hour or so. Both lasted more than a day for me.

>>59633616
Camera is average, hasn't been updated to Nougat yet, knowing Lenovo Nougat will probably be the last android update it receives

>>59633725
HTC 10

OP3T, Honor 8

>>59633587
The Moto G4 phones are fine, I'd say Moto G5+ too but it's still uncertain whether the Amazon ads on it can be removed as easily as with the earlier phones.

Thanks. I can deal with that.

Here's Mi4C, you can buy 2 of these instead of being stuck to one.

>>59633957
Any help here? PLEASE Ill love you forever

>>59634235
Actually, it seems Lenovo released the Nougat update yesterday :D

Does AT&T suck as hard as it used to? Kinda getting sick of Verizon's limited device and software shit.
