First for getting off the flagship treadmill

I'm new to phones. Are different ROMs like branches of the base Android OS? When Android updates from 10.1 to 10.2.1 do the different ROMs apply those updates to their branch? Using a custom ROM like LineageOS wont mean that I'm foregoing security updates, rather the opposite, I'll get more frequent updates as carriers abandon their branches after a year or so right?

Mostly used for browsing the web and playing some random gachi card game.
Budget is less then 500 dollar preferred but its essentially unlimited if the phone is worth the extra money.
Currently have a Galaxy S4 and would enjoy something a little larger but not mini tablet sized.
What kinda phone should I look into?

Question - this nigga talking about 4G problems with those other phones, can you not use 4G on them at all? (I don't have a 4G phone atm.)

>>59723545
Both are good. Just up to your preference. I have 10 because I wanted the DAC but XZ is IP rated and still has front speakers

If I buy a Xiaomi phone and it's got the global rom + playstore flashed to it, does that mean that the bootloader is unlocked or no?

Just curious as unlocking the bootloader on newer Xiaomi devices (specifically the Redmi Note 4X) seems like it's prone to errors and not always successful. It would be easier to get a phone with an unlocked bootloader because I would be flashing shit ASAP (don't want to deal with MIUI)

>>59727579
It varies. If you do your research you can find plenty of chinkphones with partial or full LTE support on AT&T/T-Mobile. LeEco, BLU, and most Huawei phones have full support for bands 2-4-5-12. The Redmi Note 3 has 2-4-5 but other Xiaomis have just band 5 or possibly no American LTE bands at all. A lot of them have multiple versions as well, which just makes it harder.

The G5 works on all the American networks, even the CDMA ones, so it's idiot-proof.

Do you need compatibility with all bands for it to work properly in a certain country or just at least one of them, or does that depend on region/state?

>>59723816
Ok get a Sony they do compact

>>59727814
Depends on where you are and your carrier. T-Mobile uses bands 2, 4, and 12, but they mainly rely on band 4. AT&T uses 2, 4, 5, and 12/17, and they mainly use bands 5 and 12/17. Fewer compatible bands just means you'll be more likely to drop to 3G, which is usually still fine. It's just you don't want to drop a ton of cash on a phone that won't get 4G very often. So I tend to recommend phones that are fully compatible.

The CDMA carriers (Sprint and Verizon) are entirely their own beasts and don't work at all with international phones.

>>59727789
>not paying for two day shipping

>>59726459
Moto G5 would be fine, or anything else with a Snapdragon 625. The Moto Z Play has just about the best battery life you can get right now and it uses the 625 too. The G5 has a smaller battery than the Z but it's still good.

The Redmi Note 4 would have been perfect with a 625 and a massive battery but it's not fully compatible with US 4G bands.

I had Lineage 14.1 for a while but downgraded to CM13 and it's better. Too many bugs in Nougat for me, and there were very few additional features.

Daily reminder that cell phones, wi-fi, bluetooth, smart meters, etc, cause cancer, brain damage, psychiatric problems, and infertility.

>>59728261
P.S. I'm not claiming nougat is bad; it's just my device's implementation of it is buggy because it never received an official build of it. But I didn't really see any huge features that made it worth putting up with my bluetooth dropping multiple times per day. Basically the notification drawer is slightly better.

Should I get a Moto G4 or Blu Life One X2?

I'm looking to purchase a new phone when my contract ends in July with Verizon. I currently have a MotoX 2nd gen and I loved it, so I'm looking for a similar phone with similar stock android experience. I will be moving from Verizon to AT&T, what phones should I consider? Not a fan of Samsung, budget is less than 800 (want to buy the phone unlocked).

GMOs are much higher in heavy metals, herbicides, and insectisides. Both applied afterwards, and generated by the crop itself. They are objectively bad for you, and it's about as up for discussion as if eating mercury is "fine" for you. Modern day GMOs are trash. You are defending a pathetic waste of potential rigged for massive profits at the expense of all else. Grow up.

Vaccines, because they're given so close together and along with the adjuvants (which are neurotoxic), provoke sucha potent immune response, probably do contribute to neurological problems. Autism is well known to occur alongside chronic inflammation of the microglia, which would without a doubt affect synaptogenesis, dendritic spine formation and arborization. cell differentiation, and the overall chemistry of the brain. This is basic neuroscience, the immune system is intimately linked with brain function.

Microwaves, especially when they're pulsed, activate voltage gated calcium channels. Chronically elevated intracellular calcium that isn't properly trafficked out of the cell leads to increased NO synthesis, which reacts with superoxide and increases the rate of peroxynitrite formation, greatly. And speaking of autism, look up "Timothy Syndrome", a polymorphism of the genes that generate VGCCs which causes them to be overactive, which universally causes autism, immune, and cardiac problems.

Stop parroting and read a book. There is plenty of literature on this dating back as far as the 60's. You're only 40 years behind the curve.

How so?

>>59728685
I don't believe you because this post reads like someone googled for proof of 3 separate wacko theories and didn't look at any evidence to the contrary. I will not engage in the same behaviour to rebuke

>>59728853
As above.

>Microwaves, especially when they're pulsed, activate voltage gated calcium channels. Chronically elevated intracellular calcium that isn't properly trafficked out of the cell leads to increased NO synthesis, which reacts with superoxide and increases the rate of peroxynitrite formation, greatly. And speaking of autism, look up "Timothy Syndrome", a polymorphism of the genes that generate VGCCs which causes them to be overactive, which universally causes autism, immune, and cardiac problems.
Many species have a much worse time with this than humans, such as amphibians, reptiles, certain insects like bees and butterflies, and many species of birds. We know very well what aberrant activation of voltage gated calcium channels generally causes. How does it activate them? It interacts with their voltage sensing subunit, which is composed of charge groups that all need to be moved the same direction at close to the same time. If you know anything about physics and electricity, you know why their location in the plasma membrane (phospholipid bilayer) would make this very probable. Experiments show instantaneous influx of Ca2+ when exposed to microwave fields.

>>59728866
There is no evidence to the contrary that didn't use cell types either in very specific phases, or that are know to be non-reactive / low in L-type VGCC expression. This has been established thoroughly. Exposure to microwaves causes a mess of double and single strand breaks, as well as degradation of other cellular machinery.

Refer to this:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3780531/
Or just go to pubmed yourself.

>>59728524
You've got a few of those right. Some vaccines do cause autism, there is a direct link. GMOs are really bad for you.

As for climate change, we have a roughly 100000 year cycle with 20000 year sub-cycle. The question you should be asking is why global UN taxes would have any impact what so ever on the sun and the earths orbit around it.

>>59728414
>Daily reminder that cell phones, wi-fi, bluetooth, smart meters, etc, cause cancer, brain damage, psychiatric problems, and infertility.
One sad little detail is that most of what you complain about, wifi, bluetooth and smart meters are measured in mW and are barely measurable compared to GSM/3G/4G which is measured in watts. A wifi router is typically just a few feet away while the nearest cell phone tower is several kilometers away. Yet you're able to turn wifi and bluetooth off but you'll have a hard time bringing down that big solid metal cell phone tower. There's not really that many good options there, perhaps a lot of RDX or C4 and some thermite could help...

Gotta go. Give it some thought, the cost of a cell phone might be a lot higher than your outrageous monthly bill that's detestably out of proportion with real world operating and expansion costs.

They're addicts, and brainwashed tribalistic sheep to begin with. The average human is little more than a herd animal. Refer to this:

>>59728962

Pulsed microwave fields affect neurotransmitter release. These people are literally physically addicted and likely suffer withdrawal once the exposure is gone.

>>59729226

I'm a memephone master and I've never had trouble with microusb ports. I don't doubt that any of you have but is it the way you're using the phone?

My phone history with microUSB is Samsung i9000, Nokia N9, Lumia 720, LG Fx0, BB Q10 - haven't had trouble with any of them?

>>59729226
>USB-C is a new requirement for me going forward. I've had too many phones with worn out micro USB ports.

uhmm... I have a worthless NEET brother who invites himself too frequently. He brings his XBox along and connects it to one of my computer monitors. Now none of my 3 computer monitors don't have a working HDMI port (which honestly isn't a bad thing since I use DP and DVI and it prevents that child from playing his XBox). One obvious question is: Would it be the DP ports on those who were broken if the XBox came with only a DP port?

I know, broken USB micro ports are a problem. But are broken USB-C ports ... better? Sure, you probably can't plug a USB-C cable into a USB-C port backwards while drunk and break it, but you could try to force a micro USB into a USB-C port and break it..

>>59729277
Moto G first gen, Galaxy S4, and Moto G3. They all still work they're just loose. Now it's making me question whether I had a bad cable that did damage to the ports. I'm careful with my phones, I don't yank them or drop them.

>>59729350

Oh okay, if it's just loose I can understand. My Q10 port isn't loose itself, but the way the cable sits in it is. I never have trouble with it failing to charge or transfer data though, and I figure it's directly connected to me accidentally tugging the phone by the cord a few times.

I don't see how USB C would avert this problem though. Surely only the magnetic cables seen in macbooks/surface/xperia z3's would prevent this issue?

What's the general consensus on phone cases/covers?

I've been using one, really nice looking case but, I never drop my phone so it feels like I've wasted my money

>>59729461

Ffs this is such a perfect phone why'd they have to make it using what i assume is the softest metal known to man? Just thicken the phone until the camera is flush (makes it sturdier and you can fit a bigger battery inside) and this would be the greatest phone of all time

Samsung Moment. Android 1.5. Total piece of shit, GPS didn't work, mobile service (even texts/voice) would randomly stop working forcing a reboot. But it introduced me to rooting and custom roms.

>>59733111
I used to have a Nokia with Symbian on it. So going from it to a smartphone was kinda underwhelming. I could more or less do everything I smartphone could already. Although not as well.

Got a HTC Legend. It was okay I guess. Then a Desire HD, which I adore so much I still use it.

Does someone know if there are some decent smartphones which are not exaggerately big like basically everything out right now? The only one I know about is the iPhone SE (which is imho the maximum comfortable size) but it's overpriced and made with iPhone 5 rests so it's gonna get outdated soon.

Is Zuk Z2 strong enough to play Final Fantasy X with Play! emulator?

Still sort of new to flashing roms and such

I had CM13 probably. I installed it in october on my Nexus 4.
I was now trying to install CM 14.1. Just want to sell this phone.

I went into recovery mode wiped everything and I've reseted to factory settings too.

Now it displays just the logo when booting. I can go back into recovery mode.

My laptop doesn't see the device so I can't put a rom on it.
What do I have to do now?

>>59734306
Sony makes decent small ones

for those who want something which isn't a chinkshit which sends your data to china, but isn't either too overpriced, I suggest ASUS Zenfone 3 (models ZE520KL or ZE552KL, respectively 5.2" and 5.5"). For 300 $ I think it's the best flagship phone you can get, great camera, hardware is absolutely decent, but it's the ASUS firmware that makes the difference, it's the only stock firmware that made me not cringe, very optimized and smooth. And it's also thin and nice design-wise unlike the clunky Zenfone 2.

>>59734436
Weren't they high as fuck on SAR though? I'd rather not die for brain cancer.

>>59734436
Any good models under $ 300 (or under $ 200)?

It would be nice if we had a wiki for flagship phones too.

>>59734488
I'm thinking of getting a used Z3C, saw them for around 150$.

>>59727056

>>59729583
One of the best things that ever happened to me was having my Galaxy S3 die on me. At the time I thought "oh I will just wait till the S7 comes out" and went back to using my old Blackberry 9300 as a "temporary" phone. And I found that, not only did I miss the physical keyboard, but 95% of the time I just used a Smartphone for texts, music, email and calls. The only thing I really missed on the 9300 was occasional, casual Web browsing to get information while on the go. So instead of blowing all kinds of money on an S7, I just bought a used Blackberry Classic unlocked for $150 and couldn't be happier. I have been toying with the idea of getting a KeyOne but it looks huge and I vastly prefer BBOS 10 to Android.

Is the iPhone SE still a good deal?
I'm afraid they might unveil an upgrade next september.

>>59723747
How much is the Nokia 6 gonna cost in the US?

>>59734510
Not bad even though the new price is quite high for it's specs (expecially because it only has 2 GB RAM, the rest is pretty good) and I'd rather not get a used one. Is it the only compact phone from Sony?

>>59734321
No, you'll get maybe 1-2fps

>>59734421
use ADB to move the rom on the phone

>>59734666
Yes. They just refreshed the SE so I doubt a successor is coming out anytime soon.

>>59734741
There are newer and older models of the Z Compacts

The newer ones seem like a downgrade though.

>>59734746
They didn't refresh the SE anymore, it's still the old one

>>59733111
First smartphone was a Palm Pre that I got before heading to university in 2009. It was also the first and last phone that I bought on contract.

There was so much I wanted to love about it because WebOS was fucking comfy as hell, but the build quality on that thing was nothing short of atrocious. The sliding keyboard became loose and jiggly and eventually would only stay open if you held it in a certain position, the headphone jack stopped working after about 16 months (had to buy a SanDisk Sansa, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a Smartphone to play music), the keyboard would sometimes enter two characters when you only typed one, the glass somehow cracked even though I never ever dropped it, and the coup De grace was when the unit just plain didn't power on any more, with a year left on my contract. I ended up buying a used Blackberry 8520 (which thankfully worked on Rogers) and used that for a while. No idea what Palm's quality was like before, but if it was anything close to that then they deserved to die.

Everything is better than Huawei, but it's still pretty high... if there was one thing I liked about Galaxy S3 it was the low SAR, it seems people doesn't really care anymore about getting brain cancer if they can forget about it by playing around with their shiny new phone

How often do you make long calls without hands-free mode or a headset?

Holding a phone to your head gets annoying after 5 minutes.

>Android O DP is out
>Android N 7.1.2 is out
>still no Xposed for even Android 7.0
where were you when android was kill

>>59734898
I don't make long calls often, that's true, but even just keeping the phone in your hands or pockets (or close to the genitalia) is not the best for our health. If it's not brain cancer, it's cancer elsewhere. And the headset seems to act as an antenna and make things almost as bad (haven't researched in a while on this specific matter and may be wrong). Not to talk about bluetooth ones, you have to be sure they're the safest class or they're basically as bad as keeping your phone close to your head.

It's not that I want to be a damper saying "woo your phones are evil and give you cancer!", it just annoys me how companies are ignoring users' health and users are caring less and less about it.

>>59734818

For budget, non-chink shit how about a Sony XA or M5? Or an older Z3 or Z3c?

>>59735027
Z3 or Z3C, the other two are shit. Why only Sony phones though?

>>59734475
>>59734873
From my understanding, the SAR rating is not the only determinant of radiation emission, there are many other factors. Low SAR ratings do not necessarily mean that one phone will be less cancerous than another.

As an anecdote, my mom is very sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, and found that she was getting more headaches from the supposedly low-SAR Galaxy S2 than she was from her company-issued Blackberry Classic, which has a very high SAR rating. They are both on the same network so it's not like it's a GSM/CDMA difference.

>>59734968
>users are caring less and less about it

This sort of annoys me. I brought up the issue of radiation emissions when my girlfriend was looking for a new phone a few months ago, not only did she not consider it but she actually got mad at me for bringing it up, and just bought the Huawei she wanted. In her case it's not an issue of caring / not caring, she just does not want to know.

>>59735053
Relatively cheap here and I like their blandness. Also don't want to go with the Samsung Jew and not interested in chink shit.

>>59735115

See? That really pisses me off. And as you say SAR is not the only rating, but why no one is caring about making some better resources about the radiation levels of phones? They'll get informed on everything except that one. Anyway I too am really sensitive to radiations (can tell you if there are wifi connections around just by the feeling of it) and my S3 felt fine having few SAR, compared to other phones, but it may only be a coincidence.

But the most important thing is: SAR or not, why should someone want a Huawei? In my country retarded people buy them just because they have a lot of advertising to them.

My girlfriend is Chinese so she bought Huawei because she has always had one and China Strong.

Also for the record, Chinese are laughably easy to troll. One of her friends wouldn't talk to me for weeks because I said that China and Taiwan were two de facto independent states, and another friend of hers now hates me because I said Chinese phones had terrible build quality (doesn't matter if I levy the same insult against Samsung and LG; must not insult glorious China). This apparently makes me a horrible racist Russian. The point is, though, maybe it is not a general consumer attitude, maybe it is just a Mandarin thing.

I'm very interested in a Xiaomi Redmi 4X, but I'm EU and it doesn't support LTE B20, which is apparently the most important band for 4G.

Should I still go for it or should I just say fuck it and spend another €50 for a Moto G5 from a local retailer? I get a 2year warranty with it as well, not sure GearBest does that.

Wait, this is what I get

Just broke my Z3, front screen smashed and took the digitizer with it. I can get it repaired for about £70, but I can get a used, working one off ebay for only a little more than that. I know I could (in theory) do it myself, but it'd be quicker and cheaper to take a hatchet to it, the end result would be the same.

I don't wanna get a flagship again, my Z3 was massively overpowered for my needs right up until I broke it. I'm looking at G5+ but it's not out in the UK yet.

>I'm posting to ask what I should do, get my phone repaired, buy a used one from a (kinda) reputable source, or buy a new budget phone?

>>59737845
Pixel for pure Android, fast software updates
Downsides: Expensive, large bezels

OnePlus 3T for flagship quality at 2/3rds the price
Downsides: slightly slower official software updates than pixel

The above two phones both have a SD821, so it might be worth waiting until around June when more SD835 phones are released.

I wouldn't get the S8 since it's a Samsung and the software is still bloated (including a dedicated hardware button for their superfluous software assistant Bixby).

Personally I'm holding out for Nokia announcing their flagship which is expected in Q2. Might also get an Xperia to run Sailfish OS on.

Don't relock bootloader if you're planning to flash a custom rom. You'll need to flash TWRP again in fastboot. Boot into android and enable usb debugging in developer settings before flashing a custom rom. Is CM14.1 even supported anymore? Why not flash LineageOS?

Looking for my first smartphone. I use a Nokia brick and a Thinkpad still, I don't know shit about smartphones really except that I should probably flash it with LineageOS if supported.

It should be GSM/SIM card based.

The only features I want are a very good camera, decent battery life, GPS support, and cheapness, <200€. Don't really need any processing power whatsoever besides GPS map rendering.

Currently considering:

>Moto G4/5
>Blu Life One
>Asus Zenfone 2/3

Any other ideas? I'd use a Docomo Lumix phone if it weren't for needing maps. Thanks.

Question about memory and battery. How much does a full-to-mostly-full SD card influence battery life? I know battery performance is affected by the amount of apps, but does that apply to storage in general? i.e. if I have minimal apps, but a lot of my storage is taken up by photos and music, would that have the same effect on the battery if it were taken up by apps instead? How does external memory affect battery performance?

Thank you, I've been looking at the G5 (plus doesnt seem like it's worth the almost 50% higher price) and the P2, will take a look at the Zuk and wileyfox now!

>>59740284
photos, music and other 'dormant' information doesn't affect battery life if your battery management is good and you run things like greenify, forcedoze, and manage your wakelocks properly. botnet apps like QuickPic, facebook, instagram, etc, will constantly call upon your phone to scan it for new shit -- but only if you're not taking any action to keep these apps from doing so. you can always 'freeze' botnet apps until you explicitly open them yourself.

having lots of apps will very likely affect your battery life a lot more, unless of course you're managing them very well.

>>59738670
Thanks, bro it worked.
I think I'll give this phone to my mother.
Though it tends to overheat, have this Nexus 4 since 2013

Seems I need to root it again, can't enter dev mode by tapping

>>59740402
No need to have root to enable developer settings, just tap the build number in about phone seven times.

Does anyone know how the S8's battery compares to the G6?

>>59740339
The plus is actually worth it, I came from a phone with the 430 and it's a noticeable upgrade

>>59740526
Too early to say, there hasn't been any in-depth reviews on the S8 yet.

>>59733111
HTC Wildfire. Bought it mostly because I liked the look of it but it was quite terrible. I still have it somewhere but the battery's inflated somehow and no longer works. Got an original Motorola Moto X after that which I still really like. Recently upgraded to the Moto Z Play.

>>59740670
Well I can forget about the wileyfox then, guess it's g5+ vs p2.

The Zuk Z2 seems really odd, how can it be as cheap as it is with those specs? what's the catch?

Any Canadian buyers able to weigh-in on chinkphones? New to importing and I'm holding off for now since I don't wanna buy a phone I can't use on Freedom.

>>59741194
Vast majority do not support the proper LTE frequencies used by Canadian carriers.

You want at a minimum Band 4 (rare in chinkphones), and ideally band 7 (common in chinkphonnes) and 12/17 depending on carrier.

Only chinkphone worth having in NA are the ones that sell here like Huawei, ZTE, and ASUS, however the LeEco LeMax 2 X829 does support all NA LTE Bands

Funny you had such a bad time with the Pre. My first smartphone was a Palm Pixi that I bought for stupid cheap in 2011 (like $40 unlocked), also when I started university. The camera was trash but otherwise the phone was 5/5 breddy gud, used it for two years. WebOS was the best, in many ways the S3 I eventually bought felt like a downgrade- UI was terrible and the stock TouchJizz Android slowed down noticeably after a few months, while the Pixi was still fairly zippy even years later. Never had any problems with durability or longevity.

>>59736552
what gallery app is that?

>>59739794
Opera. Not even joking. Quick and the data savings thing really works, cuts my data usage by about 40%.

>>59740800
>What's the catch?
It's a Chinese smartphone made by Lenovo, and this particular line is all about high volume/low margin, it's a plus that it has specs as good as it does, but it's fixed store and the stock launcher looks like iOS with no app drawer, so first order after setting it up would be to get a new launcher
Also chinkphone rarely have support or software updates within 6 months after they're launched

how did I do senpaitachi

Ok I'm getting the Oneplus 3t but I'm torn between 64gb and 128gb since I really dont use a lot of space on my phone other than music and maybe some pictures. I do plan to keep this phone for a couple years, is it worth it to just suck it up and eat the additional $40 so I don't run out of space or say fuck it, what do y'all recommend?

Fucking hell guys, Zuk Z2 is amazing.

Using Tasker, you can make the home button do basically anything..... re-customize it as a menu button, back button, app drawer button, quick panel button, pull out the notification bar, whatever.

>>59741611
How? Different swipes do different things?

>>59741604
Take the higher storage version, it'll have higher resale value

>>59741597
How much was it?

>>59723491
specs don't matter aslong as it has over 1 gig of memory it will work with all existing programs and will for a while

>>59741634
Exactly.. the phone comes pre-fitted with some stock options, but most importantly, any action on the home button can be used to "Open app". This means you can create a basic system function with Tasker and export it as an app, then go into U-Touch settings and pick an action (for example, "Touch and hold" or "Double press"), then pick your exported Tasker app, and the home button will do whatever you want.

I'm currently using "Swipe left" to go back, "Swipe right" to open recent apps menu, "Touch and hold" opens the generic app menu, "Double press" pulls down notifications bar, and "Single press" goes back to home screen.

What's a good cheapish chinkphone with a decent camera?
The Zuk Z2 looks really nice but the photo samples look absolutely atrocious.

>>59741514
thanks for the explanation, think I'm leaning towards the G5+, might give it a couple days and keep my eye on a few phones see if any go on sale. Need a new phone kinda soon though as I just broke my last... Thanks again.

the zuk z2 actually has had like 5 updates so far, including an official Nougat 7.0 from lenovo. i'm guessing it's because it sold like butter in India and they're building a base for a zuk Z3.

i really hope Lenovo goes normie because they really achieved something with the z2

>>59741872
For the rest of the world maybe, but if I read correctly they're just going to focus on Motorola in the states, which means we might never see a Zuk with all the NA bands

>>59733111
Nokia N95 8GB which I got in the 4th grade of elementary school.
It was already 2 years old (still a new phone though) by then, but considering I'm in eastern Europe it was decent... It took me about 2 months to crack it and install Quake 3.

In hindsight, I probably should've gotten a 3GS.

>>59741853
Mi5's a bit too expensive, if I were going to spend $300+ I'd go for a full fledged update to my 6S which is dying right now (cracked screen and dropping signal all the time)

The Mi4c has a fantastic camera considering its specs on paper, but I don't think I want to spend $220-250 on a SD808 phone. I'll check out local used offers.

>>59741706
Oh, and you need to be rooted. i'd be happy to help out if you want instructions on how to accomplish this.

Just be sure to choose "original new" version. Official exchange = refurbished.

>>59742107
Unfortunately I live in Europe so I need to add around 30% to the price when ordering outside EU. There's a used one for sale locally at around $100 though.

Can anyone recommend the best phone that comes on pink on the market? Chink ok

>>59742028
I have a phone with regular buttons so I have no need for that, was just wondering how the ZUK manages with just a single button.

Any gems in this?

>>59742603
Only ones worth considering are the two LeEco phones.

>>59729350
Usually what happens is pocket lint or dirt gets in the bottom of the port and prevents a good fit. Use something non conductive like a wood toothpick to clean out the port. This shit will happen to usb-c too.

Yeah sounds like a good price desu
No, the curved screen is nice.
Don't bother with getting a glass screen protector, they are stupid hard to apply properly on the curved screens, just get a normal plastic film one.

My only other concern is TouchWiz.

If I throw the Google Now launcher on it will it basically be like my Xperia Z3C? I've never actually used a Samsung phone, people just say their software is awful.

I might have to switch to Verizon because AT&T has gone to shit in my area. But I love my Honor 5x.

What's the best Verizon capable phone under $250 other than the G5 Plus? Wondering if there are other options now. For some reason my prime student trial isn't giving me the discount on the G5 Plus either.

>>59743601
>people just say their software is awful.
its really not as bad as people say it is.
I've never heard of anyone whine so much about touchwiz as much as /g/ does, I've never heard one person in the real world complain about touchwiz

I've only used nova and apex launchers, it really depends how much customization you want to do beyond what touchwiz allows.


my biggest gripe with Samsung is their mediocre virtual keyboard desu

>>59734475
SAR is largely irrelevant. The effects are non-thermal.

I'm in a similar boat as this guy, but don't care for a physical keyboard anymore and prefer android. Had my LG G4 die on me (lol bootloop, fuck that phone) and I only really miss the snappier performance. Larger screens are nice, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for cost and ease of one-handed use. The most resource intensive app I use is Waze. What would be a good option? It's absurd to me how much more complicated this phone shit is than computers and Linux.

>>59736747
SAR is irrelevant. Read my posts above (ctrl+f voltage gated calcium channel).

The actuality is, as yet, there is no safe cell phone. There just isn't. If it's a cell phone and you can interact with it, it's too close. If you can see it, it's too close. If you can conceive of it existing, it's hypothetically too close.

No one cares about anything. Everything is tribal, crowd psychology driven instant gratification hedonism. No one has any real sense of self or conception of the bigger picture, it's all feelings guided by their respective shepherds.

>>59743675
You're very limited. Nexus 6 and 6P (5X is unreliable), Galaxy S6, Note 4, and LG G5 are all in your price range as well but they'd have to be bought used (which isn't really that bad if you do it right). You might be able to swing a used S7 or Moto Z but they're more like $300-$350.
