Assuming I have more money than brains and am coming from an iPhone 5, what would be my best option? Is there something around the corner I should be waiting for?

Where the hell are you guys buying Le Eco Me Max 2 for under $200 that isn't an online Chinese store?
Amazon sure doesn't have them
Sounds too good to be true

if you need a good filemanager instalk total commander

>>59873439
Yes, wish I could afford an S8. Give me your m7 I'm still on the 1st gen moto g

why pay so much money for a fucking phone?

got something to compensate for?

Anyone got a good pedometer for jogging?

Moto G5 2 GB RAM 188 €
Moto G5 3 GB RAM 209 €

Either of them will replace a Nexus 4 with just 8 GB internal memory and no microSD, but fine otherwise

Xiaomis/chinkphones are not an option. it's for the wife and she wants almost Nexus stock Android, not a huge screen and I don't want to update Pajeet firmwares

Anyone here have a Blackberry Priv?

A recent update fucked with the productivity tab and I really do not like the new design, but can't figure out how to change it back.

For reference purposes, it used to look something like this

>>59873469
Galaxy S8
iPhone 7 if you don't need a headphone jack
Google Pixel if you like memes
>>59873555
I think the 3 GB version is worth the extra money.

>>59873553
Get a Garmin Forerunner 235

What is with the /g/ meme of "Snapdragon 800 series or it's shit"? Why do you guys love spending so much money on phones that will be just as outdated as something with an SD430 in a few years?

hey guys, brand spanking new to android as it currently exists here (had an og motorola droid before switching to iphone for 6 years)

I know this is a weirdly specific setup but its how I've had it on my phone for years so hoping to recreate it in android: Is there any way to have gmail vibrate/make a sound for new emails, have an unread counter on the icon, but not show up in the notifications at all? I want to be minorly notified of emails but don't want them cluttering up the notifications bar, I have enough of that going on with the fb messenger as it is.

>>59873555
Moto is chink now, kinda. Anyways if my moto g4 was anything to go by, the g5 is just another meme phone. A shitty meme phone at that.

Buut I guess if it's for your wife which I assume doesn't really know better, I'd say go for it.

>>59873491
It's a chink phone, you buy it from the chinks

i'm faggot,
are there any news of note 4(916L) 7.0 firmware? official release are still 6.0

She wants a Nexus 4 (stock Android) with space to update apps. And <5''

In Apple ecosystem she'd get a SE

I want OTA updates

>>59873863
You can buy the higher end Le Eco phones on amazon, plus who do you trust when buying one? Aliexpress has all kinds of sellers

>>59873925
Amazon has the Le Max 2 too, it's just $100 more than what the chinks are selling it for. Though for that price you get faster delivery and a proper US warranty. Banggood is fine out of the chink stores.

>>59873872
It's not getting it

>>59873919
Wait for the Nokia phones

>>59874035
none of them are <5"

get her an SE. she will suck your dick

what are some /spg/ approved apps that you guys use? botnet free preferably.

>>59873919
She's almost definitely going to have a better time with a basic SE unless she's absolutely dead set on Android

>>59873994
If I was spending $100 more I'd get something else, some anon said it has great custom ROM support, not sure if true

>>59873439

>>59874085
It's her birthday, not some payment for sex...

She dislikes iOS, her first Android was an HTC Magic (myTouch 3G in USA) followed by a Desire Z qwerty (Vision in USA) and her current Nexus 4

She works as emergency physician in a large hospital and prefers to avoid iPhones and Samsungs as gypsies and scum tend to steal them from the docs.

>followed by a Desire Z

man i loved that phone

>>59874251
My namesake and a xerox copy of mine

so, 2 GB or 3 GB? I'm buying, she's paying

I have a Galaxy S7. Give me one good reason why the S8 is a better phone

There is literally no reason to upgrade my phone. The iPhone 7 isn't a good as my S7 and the LG G6 isn't either.

>>59874419
There is literally no reason to buy a new phone if you did after 2013 tbqh
but if you want a reason, it has that new screen thing, other than that no significant change, updated touchjizz and slightly more battery life (via snapdragon 835), but screen thing is HUGE samsung phones looked like same since S3, but this is the next gen of phones

send from my s4 mini running android 7.1.1 :^)

Snapdragon Note 4 or Mediatek?

Best smartphone for 200$?

>>59875270
oh

Any chance Mi5 drops below $200 after April 19?

>>59874761
My first gen Moto G (bought in early 2014) stopped receiving OS updates after Lollipop, which was nearly 2 years ago. The latest security patch is March 2016, which was over a year ago. I don't trust Pajeet ROMs and I am getting a little worried about how exposed I may be to the myriad of bugs that keep popping up in Android, even if Stagefright is supposedly not an issue. Also, I want to know what LTE feels like. For these reasons, I have justification to buy a new phone even though mine was purchased after 2013.

That being said, support has been pretty good for a budget phone that originally cost me $200 outright and has worked without issue for 3 years. I am just waiting to see what the new Nokia phones look like before I go out and buy something (like the G5, for instance).

>op5
Why the fuck though? Who wouldn't want a 7mm thicker phone that would therefore include a bigger battery. Wtf

>>59875290
Or mi5s for $220?

Anyone have Nokia yet? I was thinking about buying one.

>>59875322
I have the first gen moto g (2013) and the RAM kills it, if just had another gig of RAM

My HTC one m8 is starting to die out and battery is really bad. Next phone I buy is with much easier repairability. Even changing battery in this thing is pain in the ass.

>>59875468
They aren't out anywhere but China atm, worldwide launch is in May

>>59875322
Aren't these custom ROMs supposed to be open source so everyone would know of they're safe to use?

>>59873839
You can have a SD820 for €160 or a SD625 for €140, why do you want to lower yourself to a shitty processor?

What should I replace my Note 4 with? I like big screens and microsd card slots.

>>59875491
For me the RAM is not the limiting factor since I don't do anything too demanding. Even got the phone to run Pokémon Go at the height of that particular craze. The lack of expandable storage is painful; 16 GB really is not enough. Even if it had space, it really does not have the processing power for Hi10p video (remind me why we all suddenly had to switch from 8-bit to 10-bit for our Chinese cartoons?)

>>59875614
Theoretically. But in practice... would you trust Pajeets? Even if there is nothing nefarious I don't trust the quality of the code.

>>59874419
Bixby, much better form factor, vastly improved screen, significantly better performance, an actually acceptable amount of on board storage, probably actually properly water resistant, based USB-C. Oh, and free middle of the line VR headset and good earbuds.

>>59873439
Yes, the S8 is the best phone available.


So, a question. Does the second camera on the LG G6 do anything besides take shitty wide angle photos? Does it help with focus or anything?

My phone contract is up soon, if a big thing for me is being up to date with Android, would a Pixel be the phone to go for?

Currently rocking an S6

>>59875875
lineage os isn't "pajeet rom", i'm pretty sure those pajeet roms refer to cm/stock based rom with customizations that will make it "edgy" and i'm pretty sure your phone has official support

>>59875682
What two phones would even fall into these categories? When would you ever find something with an SD820 that was only €20 more than an otherwise equivalent phone with an SD625?

>>59876222
Wait for Pixel 2 senpai

When is new zuk z3 coming? What will be the price of zuk z2 then?

>>59876257
Zuk Z2 is 170€ with snapdragon 820

I can get a near-new 2 day old unlocked samsung s7 edge rose for £360. Is it a good deal?

Bearing in mind I don't even own smartphone right now

Choosing a phone with

Everyone should decide for themselves what they want. But I'd rather have a good processor and flash Lineage OS on my chinkphone than getting a Moto E4 or something.

>>59877631
zuk z2 doesn't have a removable battery.

>>59877376
it's because companies want to build phones with high build quality and water resistance, which is virtually impossible with a removable battery. normies don't care either.

I jumped on the Chinkphone bandwagon rather early, bought a Redmi 2 at the same time my friend got a Moto G3. He paid 230 Syrupbux and I only paid 150 for mine, so I figured I was being a smart nigger, but a few cost-cutting corners became apparent.

Firstly, despite having the same 1GB of RAM, the G3 was noticeably and consistently smoother out of the box. Flashing the Mi with a custom ROM solved this, but I also had to take time to do that. Another thing, the Motorola was running Lollipop out of the box, but the Xiaomi only had Kitkat and as far as I know, never received any updates. Actually MIUI is kind of shit overall. The camera was noticeably better on the Moto. Over time, my phone kept running into all sorts of issues, although I cannot tell if it was the hardware's fault or the ROM's (SD cards corrupted, random reboots, WiFi signals dropped). Whatever it is the phone has been a bit of a headache whereas again, the G3 has apparently been flawless. I've also had to replace the original battery despite going way easier on it than my friend does on his G3 (I only charge once a day, sometimes once every two days, he recharges his phone two times a day usually).

Overall I am not sure the hassle was worth $80. I'm looking to replace this phone and will not be buying another Xiaomi. Maybe the new Nokias will be good.

>>59877974
does blackberry run Android or their own OS?

>>59877974
Since when does /g/ hate the Priv? It's basically the only phone you don't need to root because the manufacturer support is so good and the stock ROM is not cancerous. Also, keyboard on a flagship after 2011.

>>59877227

But yeah, it's a horrible camera

Which chink store is most reliable?

Why they put so low capacity batteries to phones? Why even chinks can't use like 5000mah battery?

When will the Nokia 6 will be root-able?

>>59881872
Because smaller = cheaper and thinner = aesthetic and because the majority of the consumer market is focused on purchasing external batteries as a bandaid solution to the shit battery problem instead of fixing it. More shekels for everyone involved.

What the fuck is wrong with the moto G4? I have a G4 Plus and it's absolutely amazing.

>>59878633
Fuck off, nitwit. I hate how people who know nothing about eBay are constantly passing judgment on it.

>>59878573
Just read the description carefully and make sure everything is as you want it.


Also, how come a majority of you /g/eeks are so cheap and/or poor?

>>59881541
Galaxy Note 5? Is that the most recent? I mean, is the G6's regular back facing camera really not as good as that of say the S7? I'd hate to trade in a phone with a great camera but shitty huge bezels for a phone with a better screen and much less bezel yet a shitty, or at least worse, camera... though I know the MP on the G6 is 13, which is one above the S7. So the only way it could really be worse is if maybe it doesn't have as good image processing or something. Does it still shoot fast and non-blurry like the S7?

when's the nokia 3310 coming out senpai?

What phone has a decent camera for the price? All I want in a phone is quick charge, decent camera and fingerprint scanner unlock phone.

>>59877692
moto g5+
280€
3GB ram

Sony Xz premium or S8 plus? Upgrading from HTC M8 since the M8 came out.

I'm running a iPhone 6S+ and it's the best phone I have ever owned.

>>59884443
Zuk Z2 or coolpad cool1 is probably best camera under $200.

Alternatively, if you don't mind spending a bit more, check out honor 8, Zuk Z2 Pro, Meizu Pro 6s, 1+3t or a used flagship.

>>59884508
I can easily say the same for my Zuk Z2 Pro.

What's the point of spending $800 for an S8 when you can buy S7 for $400? Is the difference really worth double the price?

How hard is it to open an s6?

>>59884535
An item is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.

>>59884521
Would it be worth spending a bit more on a s7 non edge or something? Money isn't an issue but spending flagship $ on a phone to text gf and use snapchat is excessive. My current phone dies in 6-8hrs and takes 4 hrs to charge. I have bought 2 new oem batteries and still the same.

>>59883953
X compact would probably be better in terms if battery. Only downside is that the x compact doesn't look nearly as good as the z5 compact.

>>59884521
>Zuk Z2 or coolpad cool1 is probably best camera under $200.
How is Zuk Z2 under artificial light or low light? Or compared to the camera on the Le Max 2?

should I get the zenfone 2 @130€?
right now I have a galaxy s3 mini and it sucks so bad... I might as well pick a turd up and have a more pleasant experience with that.

>>59884597
Zuk Z2 has manual camera controls so it shouldn't suck too much for static low light shots as long as you have a steady hand. Indoor shots during the day look fine. Some anon in csg posted some snaps last year iirc, if you can be bothered searching through the archives.

Not too sure about the LeEco though. Should be similar or slightly better is my guess.

>>59884567
>for snapchat
Shouldn't be an issue. Obviously the more you spend the better it is. If you get the Samsung you're getting a better screen and camera, but it's pretty much comparable in most other ways. Why not something in between like the ones I listed? None of them are as good as an S7, but they get close for a much lower price.

1+3t would probably be the most recommended because of the custom rom community. There's also Meizu Pro 6 Plus if you want a bigger screen (5.7 inch)

>>59884731
Spend a little more, get an Oukitel k6000 plus.

I have a samsung s5 and it is dying right now. I want to use a apple phone but u can't decide which one to get: the iphone 6s or the 7s? I like the camera on the 7s but I'm not sure if the price is worth it. What do you guys think?

I'm looking for a cheapo phone with a ~5 inch screen that I can use as a beater phone and take with me when I'm out running/cycling/hiking and stuff so I don't have to take my Oneplus 3 with me. I only need to be able to listen to music and use GPS navigation and run fitness tracking apps, so is the Moto G4 Play still worth buying or should I go for the G5? The G4 Play has a pretty weak CPU but it has a 720p screen instead of the 1080p on the G5 which should result in better battery life since they have the same sized battery.

>>59885565

>>59885645
They're old, shitty and outdated.

Oneplus 3T or Galaxy S8+? I really really want dual sim capability but 3T is pretty much otdated at this point, considering 4/5 will be released any day.

Mi5 is $230, OP3T is around $450. Or did you mean the mi6?

2014 flagships are probably the oldest phones that can still be considered relevent.

If you have something like a functioning One M8 or galaxy s5 there's no practical reason to upgrade.

What can /spg/ tell me about this phone?

>>59888370
>something that'll last me a couple years at least

Pretty much any phone is designed to last the length of a standard cell contract. But if you mean "a couple" as in more than two years, then good luck. I kept updating my Galaxy S2 on CM, but near the end I just got sick and tired of the increasingly slow and unstable nightlies. The last two years of ownership were a constant annoyance of dropped signals, random reboots and other bugs. The flagship game just isn't worth it. Buy an unlocked budget or midrange phone for $200-$400 and enjoy using it for two years until you've got the next one. It's not worth trying to play the flagship game to "make something last" , these things become obsolete too quickly and aren't modular like, say, a Thinkpad.

>Xiaomi Mi6 will have no headphone jack

god fucking damn

>>59888366
because it's actually built for your phone?

AOSP doesn't matter if you don't have developers that can work to get it stable

Well the S7 has the best current camera on a phone ever and the S8 is only marginally better than it.

S7 can be found for a far far lower price as S8 is already coming out. So why not drop the money on the S7 and enjoy it? The camera performance of mid tier and budget phones are not as good as a flagship like the S7 and not to mention how you can find the S7 are similar prices to mid tier phone nowadays.

Reminder that 7.1 for the Moto X Style is coming out in May. Next Month! Finally a stable 7.1 stock, maybe with root too.

So /spg/, I have a Blackberry Priv I got with my parents' company plan when I started university in the fall. I did not really have the choice to buy the phone unlocked, it came from Bell (Canada). I've only recently found out that updates are being held back by my carrier. The April security update arrived weeks ago for factory unlocked phones bought directly from Blackberry, and some research showed that the Marshmallow update was held back by Bell for almost 2 months. I'm worried that my carrier may not even bother with the Nougat update.

So my question is, if I unlock the phone, can I get the updates on the same schedule as the Privs that came unlocked from them factory? And if I move to another carrier after unlocking it, will I continue to get updates?

I played the flagship game exactly once, when I bought an HTC Sensation in September 2011. Piece of shit through and through, only lasted two years before it refused to turn on. Since then I have just moved from one budget Motorola to the next (1st Gen Moto G, 3rd gen Moto G, probably a Nokia 6 or Moto E next) and I've generally been far happier. The phones are more than capable enough and don't cost a stupid amount of money to buy, so I don't have huge expectations and don't feel bad if anything happens to them.

>>59889445
I don't know, it's a new phone, so most probably no support yet.

You are right on the money. Cell phones aren't supposed to last longer than the contract itself. Of course you can root it and install a custom rom to continue updates, but like you said, it's an annoyance. Also, I might add that you need to change your battery after two years since it will only hold 25% of a charge and applications will continue to use more and more memory and your phone will slow down. I finally bit the bullet and updated my original moto G 2013 edition to a G5+ (can't wait for it to come in the mail). I had the latest lineage and a new battery, moto G, but applications were becoming unbearably slow and cell service was dropping randomly.

Question /spg/:
My daily driver died on me and I got left with an LG spirit (h440n) that I got for free. Thing is, it has LG's own craptier rom on it. Came with lollipop originally. Got the OTA for Marshmallow. Ever since then, gestures are a thing of the past (not that I mind much tho), and animations no longer exist when opening apps or returning to the homescreen etc. Between that and the subjectively horrid notification shade, I decided I might as well rice the bitch since I found no custom or stock roms for it. Suggest ricing options that won't make it entirely useless or point me towards a stock 6.1. or 7.something for it please!

So, what do I do now? Do I stay with MIUI 8.1.10.0.0 until there is an official one? Or do I install stock android or the ROM from xiaomieu? How do I reduce the botnet as much as possible? The only Google apps I need are Google Play and maybe Gmail.

My lg g3 is beginning to developed some sort of yellowed out pixel range on the left hand side of the screen right where your letters would start on the reply entry box.
Is it time to upgrade, or should I just replace my screen? It's easy, I have the tools.

>decent ROM support

I've viewed the LG G5 but it doesn't seem to be enough of an upgrade to warrant the cost. I would love a carrier that doesn't charge me $85 a month for 2gb though. Fuck Verizon.

Slowly getting there...

Could somebody please tell me how to set my home screen background as my LOCK screen background as well?

Should be fairly simple, but I still haven't figured it after almost an hour...

use this one instead: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/xiaomi-redmi-note-4-snapdragon-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development/rom-lineageos-14-0-t3566095/page7

It will probably be official soon. Never trust people on xda that are reporting bugs, most of them are grade A fucking morons that don't know what they are doing.

Remember to disable telemetry on your Priv to gain 3x the battery life.

Good, but what about my lock screen wallpaper problem?

No idea, I use EMUI

Recommend me an awesome Jap phone, /SPG/!

Budget is upwards to 400$ but would prefer something in the 200-300 range.

>>59890647
Why would you want a Jap phone? They're known for their feature phone which you can't use most functionalities outside Japan anyways

>>59890495
Nice, thank you very much m8! I will check it out now. Btw, if it will become official will I be able to update it without flashing the phone, like I would be with the stock one?

Because I'm curious what smartphones they have since
1. know for a fact that most of their shit is not sold overseas/anywhere else. Sony being the only exception I guess
2. tired of the slew of Korean droids (LG and Samsung)
3. Chinkshit-wise I probably can't afford a Mi Mix and the others are not as appealing (feel free to change my mind)

Used their feature phones, and those ain't bad either , but I want one with a decent camera.
