ASUS Zenfone 3 is great

A dumb made a thread asking for a tablet to watch/read manga/comics. Is there any at the price range of 150~250 that would be good/ok to draw on too? I tried that weird samsung pen and it's ok for what it does. I'd use it as an aditional monitor sometimes and then draw on it or maybe with any good app.

is a used lg g5 for $190 a good deal?
Still using a lg g2 but looking to upgrade

>>59818905
Hey guys, I just lost my job, which means I had to give back my real phone (iPhone 7) and am about to join you morlocks and poors and NEETs.

Having a good camera is unimportant to me because as an Android user I assume I won't have as many friends and won't get invited to social functions.

The only thing that matters to me is battery life (because I may have to stop paying my utility bill soon, or only be able to charge it at McDonald's, and so forth) -- also the ability to root it is important, because I'll have a lot of free time to waste on customizing my app drawer while I avoid the reality of my situation.

So, what cheap Android phone should I get?

I'm a pleb and don't feel like doing research, who has the best deal on the s8? samsclub?

can you guys help me?
I need a futureproof (no lag in 2-4 yrs) phone that is somewhat compact. I wanted to get a memephone SE first, but I hate branding, especially that ugly apple logo and I am unsure whether it is botnet or not and if jailbreaking it would be a good idea.

I don't really need a compact phone, my s4 is alright, but all new phones seem to be tablet size. I just want "normal" sized phone with timeless design that doesn't spy on me. I also don't care about games or anything like that, just lag free shit posting.
Will probably still get a SE but want to know what options I got.

>>59818957
Had the Zenfone 5 and using the 2a atm.
The 2 has a screen issue where the lower half of the screen doesn't show anything properly, and the screen also flickers. I'll be jumping of the Asus phone train now.

I'll probably be getting the V20 next.
Have any proper roots come out yet?

Just a reminder that the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge is still masterrace. There is absolutely no need to upgrade to the S8 unless you really need that miniscule speed boost.

>>59819165
>I'm poor and can't afford an s8 so it's bad

Iphone 6, Iphone SE, Galaxy 6/7, HTC m8, Nexus 6/6p

which one

Any cheap dumbphone for less than 50 usd (can be used) that can be rooted, 720p display and maybe micro sd slot?

Hi,

I m currently in china and i want to buy a smartphone for 200$ max
Do you know what should i take ?

What ROM do I put on my OnePlus One now that Cyanogen OS is kill?

I've been using the stock Cyanogen ROM since I purchased it.

Looking for good camera good, battery life, less than 5.2'', B4(1700/2100)AWS band and 150-250 USD. Does someone knows of a cellphone that match?

Today ordered an LG G6 for $350 that comes with a free Google Home.

Good deal?

>>59819963
Fuck yes that's a good deal

>>59818905

I fully believe The Verge is the worst place to get a review from. They seem heavily biased at times and review things like children. When 9/10 reviews say something is great you then have The Verge saying it is just okay. I never trust their reviews on anything.

>>59820003

Thank you. I thought so. Just making sure. I know the S8 is about to get in peoples hands but I have had a Note 4 for around 3 years. It runs like shit now. The Samsungs I had before that didn't last me very long either. I have lost all faith in Samsung. I wanted to try something different and almost ordered the Honor 8 when I stumbled upon this deal. I trust LG still.

I want an unlocked device which supports all carriers. CDMA + GSM. Not getting a phone which supports just one half of them.

Not sure what phone to get.
Budget is like $200, $350 max.

Been looking at the Moto G4, thought it looked good, then I found out the G5 is out.

Is the G4 still worth getting?
What about the G4+ with 64GB and 4GB RAM for $300?

>BB Passport SE in nearly perfect condition for $210
>'price is so low because I don't care about money'
Duh, I feel confused.

>>59818957
>Zenfone 3 max STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANDROID 7

FUCKING REEEE

How much should I pay for a used htc 10?

>>59820233
I own a G4 and have no temptation to "upgrade." Especially with Nougat.

OnePlus 3T, Galaxy S7, iPhone 6s, LG V20, LG G5.

Which of these is a good switch from the AYSOOS Zenfone 2 Laser 1080p, which I'm currently using right now. It gets the job done but is starting to slow down and I have it on Lineage 14.1 (7.1.1).

About to order a redmi note 4. Hope I won't regret it.

>>59820514
Also, Snow Mexico fag here with the shitty dollar.

Stupid question but. Does anyone use their phone without a screen protector?

I don't use a screen protector on my A7 2017 and I can see a few hairline scratches. Could this be the oleophobic layer?

>>59819912
are you memeing
Lineage OS is the follow-up to Cyanogen

>>59819920
those needs are too specific to have anyone bother looking around, why dont you look at popular brands and ask when you've found a few potential choices

>>59820233
if you go for the g4, get the plus for more ram, or get the g5 plus.

>>59820311
jesus, I bought the normal, new, for less than 250. don't buy that, waste of money, and BBOS is dying. Blackberry isn't even invested in it anymore.

>>59820339
only thing worth for nougat is split screen

>>59820514
i would feel comfortable with any but the lg g5, since there are more reports of it bootlooping than the v20.

>>59820793
the g5+ doesn't have a removable battery, but the moto g5 does.

>>59820890
The official CyanogenOS ROM has proprietary camera enhancements.

Open-source CynogenMod and Lineage OS don't.

Am I wrong to be so hung up on the Oneplus 3T or Mi 5 not having expandable memory?

xperia x vs moto g5 plus
most use messaging, clover, web browsing and nav. looking for least botnet

So, you know how like in Windows 7 you view an image in the picture viewer, and you zoom in, and you get to see the pixels?

Are there any image viewers like that for android? One that would for example

Turn my 540x960 image into 1080x1920 at 2x zoom without blurring it, just increasing pixel size?

>>59820890
>the g5+ doesn't have a removable battery, but the moto g5 does.
should I just get the g5 then? how does it compare to the plus? or is there a better phone under $500?

>>59820339
I guess they didn't push 7 onto the low end devices yet, I got 7 on my zenfone 3

>>59821131
get the plus version if you buy the moto g5

>>59821066
xperia will receive updates for quite a while
moto g5 plus will not, but it should end up having some decent roms

>>59820954
No phone on this earth can expand it's RAM, so no, don't worry about it :^)

How stupid would I be if I bought an S8 for retail price on release day? I barely even leave the home (Im a NEET) but its so fucking beautiful I dont even

I got the Huawei Nova just a few days ago. Its great. I don't really need that much power in a smartphone the Snapdragon 625 SoC is more than enough for a 1080p display.

>ships with stock AOSP android
>will get speedy updates for 2ish years

Those are the only things I ask. Best phone? Budget, camera, screen size etc. is not an issue.

>>59822347
there is quite literally no phone like this except for the the Pixel

>>59818952
V20 is over priced because they are tying to cash in on the Galaxy Note C4's failure.

Galaxy S5 best phone ever.

>>59822366
>Pixel

It's completely stock android?

By that, I mean: No special UI's installed or anything like that. Like I don't want some bullshit touchwiz or htc sense. I don't even want a lightweight overlay, I just want pure android (and updates).

>>59822396

no but its still good

stock android is a meme anyway

The galaxy s8 doesnt even improve the fucking camera and I'm not a permavirgin redditor who cares about "muh antutu score".

Since I just care about pics does that mean the I should get the experia instead of the S7 edge/pixel??

with blackberry classic heading full speed to obsolation, will blackberry release a new android version of it?

Should I buy the S8 or iPhone 7? Which phone has better security and privacy?

>>59823743

S8 since eventually you can just shove a custom rom with no telemetry, if that's such a big deal to you.

It seems there are no alternatives to the OP3T in the price region of less than 500€.

It is ridiculous when you think about it. The new flagships costs more than a decent PC.

>>59819706
MetroPCS is just an arm of T-Mobile running on TMO's network. Considering they're going around converting their 2g/edge sites to LTE and they never deployed 3g I don't think those phones will work for very long or in many places.

>>59823798

It will become more and more difficult to root your phone.

And with Samsung phones since the S5, you will trip its Knox counter.

Will WE see a new SE with force touch this year?

>>59823916

That depends on the manufacturer. Some simply don't care about it.

How hard would it be to network unlock a relatively uncommon Android phone?

>>59823937
Well, if they are going so far to implement a Knox counter into their device, Samsung clearly cares about it.

Easily rootable phones that are left:
OP3/T, Google Pixel and HTC phones.

>>59824034

It's not hard to see why Samsung would care since they're pushing this Bixby thing so hard to compete against google in services.

>>59823798
Eh i don't think I want to do that tho

Any of you zuk-cucks tried the Z2 in japan? WMPW says it might work, but that site also says 3G should work in australia, and it doesn't.

It's great. get it.

If I get the amazon version of the G5+, what are the odds I'm stuck with the ads for the life of the phone? ie. is it likely Lineage or something comes along at some point/someone cracks it and figures out how to remove the ads?

Currently have an iPhone 6, can't jailbreak it (10.2.1) and it's starting to age. What android phones are as good or better than the iphone? Before it i had an Xperia Z and was pretty happy with it. Is there a model out there that would be a performance, camera, screen and battery life upgrade over the iPhone 6?

>>59825892
Amazon seems to be the cheapest, at least for the black color
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5DQVO2

US version is Snapdragon, the Dual SIM version is Exynos. The Snapdragon version is worse, especially in terms of battery life but apparently performance is worse too. Exynos version has a better DAC too.

>>59826314
Note 4 sd625:
Better build quality
Better battery efficiency

Note 4 mtk:
Even better build quality.
Performance is a little better than the sd625, but not by much, at the battery takes a hit for it.
Literally no ROMs at all

Note 3 pro:
CPU is a little more powerful in gaming at the expense of (reportedly 20%) battery efficiency
Way better ROM support (official everything)

Other than that the differences are minimal. Hopefully ROM support improves for the sd625.

>>59826500

Also on an iphone 6, from what i've seen of friends' phones and messing around in the store most flagships nowadays are going to beat out the 6 in most of those areas.

Pixel for sure.
Presumably Galaxy S8 but they've always been shite with software so take their amazing new phone with a grain of salt.
LG G6 really solid choice assuming it doesn't bootloop like the past iterations.\

Personally I'm about to pull the trigger on a G5+ because I don't really need a bleeding edge processor for anything and the camera is the same as on the galaxy S7 which I'm fine with for $240

>>59826818
>LG G6 really solid choice assuming it doesn't bootloop like the past iterations.
I've read somewhere LG put special efforts to make their new flagship bootloop-proof, along with all the survivability improvements on the structural design.

not yet, but the G4 got cracked at some point so I have to assume someone will figure it out for the G5+ somewhere down the line.

>>59827970
Imho bump isn't huge but maybe relative to other phones. I don't really notice it after slapping a slim case on. For no SD just get 128gb if 64 isn't enough but I can still see why people would want SD, I certainly miss it a little. And wireless charging is a massive meme, don't really care for that. Also screen size is pretty ideal, they make one hand use pretty easy with gestures or you can just not have baby hands. Although around 5" is perfect size I think and this phone kinda reaching the limits of that.

Should I buy the Moto G4+ for $300 or the Moto G5+ for $300?

>>59823682
Full speed? Nah. My Classic is a lot zipper than a phone with a Snapdragon S4 ought to be, if I still stick mostly to emails/phone/text/light browsing, I'd say there are another 1-2 years of use.

As for an Android version, it's called the KeyOne. It looks huge though (and I thought the Classic was big, coming from my Curve 3G). Want something small? Fuck you.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Underrated post, but true.

For the longest time I was using a Nokia C3 I bought used from a yard sale for $20 before starting university in 2012. Just this past year I caved to the Smartphone meme and bought an Acer Liquid Zest 4G just because the Nokia finally would not power on anymore, and for $100 why not.

Anyways, I still use my physical maps in the car despite the fact that I have access to Google's botnet. They work perfectly fine if you're not retarded. I don't understand people who need a phone guiding them everywhere they go, especially in North America, where 98% of the time your route is a dead simple matter of turning right or left once or twice after miles of straight open road.

What phone should I get now. I really like Motorola and I went to see the Moto z force in person and I really like it but it seems a little to expensive for a 6 month old phone. Amy suggestions on something similar? Or should I wait for a new Motorola phone to come out?

Looking for a dirt cheap phone. Is the Moto G5 (non-plus) a decent option?

>>59829932
Moto G5+ non-ads 64gb/4gb is $299 on amazon and works on Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint.

>>59829977
Why the G5 and not the G5 Plus?

>buying chinkshit and kimchishit

Buy Apple

buy American

>>59830085
because the G5 isn't dirt cheap

>>59830085

G5+=£250 (granted it has twice the storage)

>>59830990
What about RN3P/RN4X?

>>59831016
Yes that's correct. You probably know this but be sure to wipe data, cache, and dalvik/art cache before flashing, whenever switching ROMs.

>>59831139
I assumed you were from the US so I didn't mention any chinkphones but yeah those are good too. ZUK Z2 and LeEco Le Max 2 also worth looking at.

>>59825799

Yes

I never wipe these before flashing and I've never had a problem with any of the several ROMs I've flashed

>>59831257
I like to do it since just in case, plus I rather not fuck up a phone because i was lazy.

>>59831257
I dirty flash routine ROM updates, but I've had problems when not wiping data and switching ROM types so I don't recommend it.

I'm still using nexus 5, does everything I need it to but its camera has gone to shit and sometimes I need to take pics of notes or shit when I don't have my camera with me. Also the screen is cracked which is annoying sometimes, and the 32gb of storage aren't enough for my music.
What's my best bet for a phone that will get updates, has expandable storage and alright to good battery life? I live in Europe if that matters

A question for the zuk-cucks. What is your average screen-on time?

You can flash the normal signed stock rom from motorola that doesn't have amazon ads without unlocking the bootloader

>>59831912

>>59832049
Yeah I'm browsing amazon.de and some of the info isn't translated to english, but I don't see anything riesembling an ads/no-ads button like the kindle has; weird though that the regular G5 ships to my country with free shipping but the G5 Plus doesn't ship at all

You guys realize the KeyOne is exactly the same width as the Classic, right? They're both 72.4mm wide. Minus the loss of the toolbelt, they will probably be completely comparable in terms of one-hand usability. The reason why it looks so big is because the Classic had a 1:1 screen and this thing has a 3:2 screen so it is just taller.

Honestly, the KeyOne is the phone Blackberry should have released back in 2015. Keep things conservative at first. Priv was way, way too ambitious for their first Android attempt, and while they fixed most of the flaws in the months after launch, they needed it to be perfect considering how much they wanted for the damn thing.

>>59832415
Well that's disappointing.

Hopefully I can just turn off the lockscreen to avoid the ads until someone finds an exploit for it at least

I don't know why people on this board haven't pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S8.

It's like 0-30 down for the S8 and 130 down for the Plus with just about any carrier.

Not to mention they're adding the VR headset with a controller and for an additional 99 bucks, they're throwing in a bluetooth headset and a 256 gb memory card.

I feel myself outgrowing /g/ because everyone is so fucking poor on this board.

Definitely worse than iPhone 5. Outdoor shots are somewhat ok, but it really sucks in low light conditions. Btw by default the camera is set to medium quality, so make sure to change that if you'll get the phone.

Mine is snapdragon 625 3GB, Global rom. Seems to have all the usual sensors. Auto brightness works better than S7 Edge.

>>59835348
Yeah, it's not much worse than the pixel specs wise and could even be seen as the better phone eg front facing speakers

Guys, I got some network issue on my android 6.0 device, and after a lot of googling, someone suggested flashing the modem and radio files.

So yesterday I put my pixel aside and went and used one of my three upgrades with T-Mobile for the year on the LG G6. This is the first LG product I've gotten cause ((bootloops)) but hell.. I really like this phone. Even with the 821 I haven't had any hiccups in performance. The display is beautiful, and desu the only reason I pay attention to the new 18:9 aspect ratio is because people made it a big deal when.. it's honestly not. I guess time will tell but I think LG did a great fucking job with this phone.

So... a help would be very much appreciated. I've always used iPhones, now I want to get an Android phone. I wanna know wich one is the absolute best. Samsung, Motorola...?

Why would anyone want to upgrade your phone this often?

>>59840013
I'd wait too, but my S4 is close to being four years old, and sometimes it does some weird shit that honestly worries me. I don't expect it to die anytime soon, but I'd rather replace it before it's too late, and I really don't know if it can hold another year of use. Also the camera is all fucked up (the external lens fell off and now the sensor is all dirty, autofocus doesn't work anymore, and photos are noisy as hell), and it's annoying as fuck especially when I need to photograph documents and shit.

>>59840073
The pixel's build quality is not great, software yes but that cloth earpiece and easily scratched rear glass section is not well put together

I have an issue with my phone, that according to intense google searching can be resolved, but it requires me to unlock the bootloader (LG Spirit h440n), download from marshmallow to lollipop, and flash something.

This will void my warranty. Is there any way to return it back to normal in case I don't succeed, so they can't tell, or is it fucked once it's rooted? I really don't wanna waste a month of them possibly fixing it, and I don't have a backup phone.

>>59840139
>download from marshmallow to lollipop

Meant to say downgrade.

>>59840119
The g5 will hold you over but it's not the amazing phone everyone here makes it out to be, I suppose it's not a bad choice for $200. I wouldn't spend $300 on it

>>59840139
It's possible to de-root and relock the bootloader so they shouldn't be able to tell it's been messed with.

>>59840168
Is it hard? I've never done this.

>>59840106
I actually got lucky. It was a an insurance promotion they were doing a while back and I'm still grandfathered into it. It works like any lease program, you usually pay 25-30 a month for the device so when you go in you just trade in the old device.

>>59840108
I mean... Why not? I haven't used three since I've gotten it. Especially after getting the Pixel XL off contract. Best phone I've ever used performance wise. But again.. it was a promotion available to me at the time so.. why not? This way I can check out the G6, maybe the s8, and the newer iPhone later this year.

>>59840188
That's not bad, lucky

>>59840178
No, should be fairly simple. But do you actually need to unlock the bootloader to downgrade?

>>59840055
Damn will I really have to buy samshit again? Does the s7/s8 have better camera than the pixel?

>>59840148
>I suppose it's not a bad choice for $200. I wouldn't spend $300 on it
Well fuck, since I can't find it at any less than 280€.

>>59840308
Says so on the XDA forums. Gotta downgrade to an earlier android version, gotta unlock it to use TWRP, so I can flash the modem with the proper kdz. I also have no sound for whatever reason as well apart from the modem issue.

>>59840352
