What do y'all think of the Huawei P9?
Any good? Still usable? Or don't bother and go for something else?

>>59916189
Just for some context, I'm coming from a Xperia Z3 that just recently died.

Is it a normal for Xiaomi Mi5 to have the screen go completely red in the split second after you lock the screen but before it actually goes black?

I though my eyes were broken, but I recorded it happening, picrelated (the picture in the background is basically completely blue). I'd post a webm, but the whole thing is literally three frames: blue, red, black.

HAS ANYONE HERE REPLACED THEIR S4 YET? I WANT TO UPGRADE

Even though it may be a small downgrade from the S7 camera, I'm leaning towards going ahead and getting the LG G6 because of Sprint's amazing offer with it.

One important question I have, though, is can I easily and cheaply attain an adapter such as the one that came with the S7 that I can use to plug in USB devices like a mouse and keyboard dongle? That would be really good with that somewhat wider screen.

Also, what are the cheapest options for a thin silicone case and a tempered glass screen protector that covers the whole screen?

>>59916406
No duh, dude. Eventually upgraded to the S7. I recommend you look into grabbing an S7, S8, or G6.

Hey, does anyone know of any nice, cheap wireless chargers one could get for a G6?

>>59916189
No optical stabilization, nice phone otherwise

Anyone got Redmi Note 4 with Mediatek CPU?
Is GPS really that bad as some people say it is?

ZTE, Huawei, Xiaomi phones with good custom ROM support available in Europe? I'm using the S5 at the moment and my first choice for an upgrade is HTC 10, even though it's somewhat hard to get here. I want to know what my alternatives are.

>>59916089
Should I buy a Google Pixel? What's a better phone in the same (or cheaper) price range?

Just ordered the Huawei Mate 9, bros.

How fucked am I?

>>59917804
ZTE Axon 7

Huawei phones have almost nonexistent custom ROM support because they use their in-house Kirin SoCs instead of better supported Snapdragon SoCs

Xiaomi Mi5, Redmi Note 3 Pro, Redmi Note 4X / Note 4 Global

Is a carrier mandatory these days? I'd rather not have one.

>>59917986
Of course not. You're free to chat on public radio frequencies.

What do you guys think about ASUS Zenfone 3?

Good RAM and storage (probably most important)
Bonus: good ROMs available

Android of course.

>>59917127
would you recommend the OnePlus 3T over the iPhone SE and Pixel?

>>59918087
Redmi Note 4X

>>59917964
Huawei phones have nonexistent custom ROM support also because of the painful bootloader unlocking.

>>59918117
The Pixel is an overrated meme. The Oneplus 3T and iPhone SE are very different phones. Both are great, but you should decide for yoursezlf if you want a small or a big phone.
>t. Oneplus 3 user
>>59917830
Oneplus 3T is where it's at.
>>59917886
You will be okay.
>>59917619
Which ones?
The Nokia 5 and 6 are great.
The Nokia 3 is shit.
The Nokia 7 and 9 are big question marks ATM.

>>59918572
6. Idk honestly. Pixel is too expensive for something I just want to text my gf with and scroll through instagram. My S4 does it all but its slower than it was. I just refreshed the rom on it and cut out all the bs apps i never use and it's running nicely. It's just the battery life is AIDS, lasts half a day with light to moderate use, the screen uses 15-20% and the phone is sitting on the desk, screen off most of the day.

is it even possible anymore to buy the mi5 in black?

>>59918637
Def. Oneplus, unless water resistance is super important to you

>>59917804
Get a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global, all the bands you need for EU support and custom ROM support if you want to fuck around with that.

is it safe to buy OnePlus 3T's from eBay? Last time i was phone shopping you needed an invite for the OnePlus One.
And are they compatible anywhere in the world? Or do I need to make sure I buy an Australian version?

what are /g/'s thoughts on buying a phone outright versus going on a contract/plan?

>>59918117
If you say the camera's really important, then yes the Pixel will matter.

>>59919285
I want a good camera, which 3T seems to have.
My current camera is an LG G2, which has been great with its optical stabiliser

Anyone know the specs website where you can compare the sizes? Ie Zuk Z2 is red outline and Mi5 is blue outline laid on each other noting the difference in width length and height.

I tried kimovil, devicespecification and gsmarena but no go.

I want a cheap smartphone with Android N. My maximum price is around 350$, though ideally closer to 250$.

I'm hesitating between the Huawei Honor 8 Lite, and one of the Moto G5 variants. What would you guys suggest?

>>59919295
They're not comparable. It's an okay camera, but it's nowhere near the Pixel's.

It depends on how good you want your camera to be and how much you're willing to pay for the Pixel's boons.

>>59919331
Kimovil does it, dunno what's your problem with it. Phonearena is another one.

>>59919336
would you say the 3T's camera is as good or better than LG G2's? If so, then I'll be happy

>>59919332
>> Android N.

Why are you so afraid of the N-word anon?

>>59919189
I also would like to know

im looking for a phone that
>supports roms
>max 145mm height
>has buttons
>cheap
>not ugly

I've come to the conclusion that I don't need a huge screen on my phone.

I don't really watch many videos or play games.

I do however browse the internet quite a bit on it. But a smaller screen is perfectly fine for it. I used a Nexus 4 for many years and the small screen was perfectly fine for it.

Also, displays are the #1 source of battery drainage. So I assume a smaller screen would lead to longer battery life?

So my question is, other than the Xperia, are there quality phones out there under 5 inches ?

I've seen pictures of Asian android flip phones with smaller screens. Do those work in the US?

I like the look of Z2 compared to G4, only con is no SD slot abd internal battery.
Also is there any reason NOT to buy the Z2?
I'm asking because I really want to buy it right now.

Is the Huawei Honor easy to root?

>>59919521
iPhone SE (though even the 6S / 7 are under 5")
Galaxy A3 2017

Those Asian flip phones don't have the network bands needed to work with US carriers

>>59919575
ZUK is better in almost every way.

>>59919671
Okay good to know. I was tossing and turning about it for quite some time. Finally bit the bullet.

Android 7 phone, for testing Java 8 apps. Max budget is $350. What do I get?

>I'll just wait for the Mi6
>no headphones jack
GODDAMMIT

>>59919717
thats not cheap wtf i can get a samsung a3 at that price, i was looking for something cheaper than that

>>59919755
Moto G5 / G5 Plus

>>59919575
>Also is there any reason NOT to buy the Z2?
Cumera
Also average audio especially with headphones

If you can wait then wait for April 19, mi6 will be released so mi5 will get a price cut.

>>59919843
The point is that you don't want a Samsung A3, all the Samsung A phones are budget garbage. Moto G is honestly the best phone to get if you're not looking at flagships. No bullshit, guaranteed a good phone. If you want to risk it and fuck around with chinky shit or Samsung shit, go for it, but I'll never take those over a Moto G.

Any recommendation for a 5" or smaller phone with decent specs? Must be Android.

>>59919843
thats fair enough
how about redmi 4
got anything to say against that it seems to tick the right boxes

>>59918637
I got the samsung A7 2017 and what I love about this phone is that the battery lasts for two days on heavy use. Kinda like the moto z play but has a more premium feel to it. What's bad about this device is how poorly thr camera is on low light and the lack of pdaf and stabilization. And of course its a samsung so its priced more than the OP3T

>>59920046

I could settle with OK sounds if it's not much of a difference using in-ear headphones

>>59916561
Does the mediatek version comes only with the Chinese firmware? Or you have the option of getting the global Rom?

In the US. Budget is 300 and lower.

Do I go for the LeEco Le Max 2, Honor 8, ZTE blade V8 pro, or Moto G5 Plus? The LeEco has the best specs and lowest price but I'm concerned about chink ""quality""

I can't enter recovery mode on my phone.
It's rooted, tried to flash a recovery image throughp TWRP app.

Instead it enters factory mode, whats should I do?

>>59919981
>Samsung A phones are budget garbage

Are there really no no-bullshit Android phones left? I just want a phone with decent battery and build that I can install some custom rom on (without sending a fucking application to the manufacturer) and be done with it. 3T would be great if it actually had an SD card slot.

>>59922700
430 and 625 are both fine for everyday stuff. Get the standard one. It also has a removable battery unlike the plus.

Should I go ahead and buy the mi5s or is it a meme? Looking for a decent sized phone (think iphone 6 plus, or preferably smaller) with good camera, external storage options, and at least 3gb ram. 2-230ish price range.

>>59922865
Zuk Z2 Pro

All right, narrowed it down.

Moto G5 at 2k SEK or Honor 8 Lite at 2.5k SEK. Leaning towards the G5 since it seems to be more of a standard recommendation and less of a hipster choice.

I just bought a moto g4 for $100 to replace my bootlooped g4

Did I fuck up

Just bought a refurbished HTC one m9 on ebay for about $20. Did I do good considering it will be my next tracfone phone?

Is Redmi Note 4 the best android phone right now for ~200€?

That's the S8 will be selling for a year from now.

>LG G6
>US Cellular

I've got to say, this is a hell of a phone. I'm upgrading from a Nexus 6/Note 2 (N6 broke so I had to use the Note 2 for a few months).
This is smoother than any Galaxy phone I've tried in the past, and while the curved edges are sexy as hell on the S8, the price point cannot be beat for the G6. Currently going for $300 at US Cellular with the free Google Home promo. I'm planning to sell the Google Home on eBay, so I'm looking at basically a $200 phone.

Honestly, if you're with US Cellular, go in and get the new unlimited plan along with this. Best phone for the price right now.

Also suggesting android games that support controllers would be good thing too

Can someone redpill me on the Moto G Play?

>>59923829
Emulators. Old games are infinitely better than the pay to win shit that infests every game now. Get a Gamesir controller.

RetroArch has a shit interface on Android but if you put in the time to learn it, it plays everything and it's free.

>>59924144
It's the same, basically, as the 3rd gen Moto G, which I use every day. It's not the fastest but it's perfectly fine for normal use. Good value for money.

Vs the Moto G3 it has a worse camera, no water resistance, but it's thinner and has a removable battery.

Is the OP3T camera really shit compared with the likes of S7, Huawei P10 and LG G6?

Does this phone exist?

US

Not fucked at all. Sprint will give you the G6 for half off with a current promotion. That's about $350.

Hello, I'm a fucking caveman and I don't have a smartphone, never had one. My question here isn't so much which phone to buy, but I'll be spending the whole next year in Japan and, as you might guess, I think it's time to buy one. So, would it be a terrible idea to just buy a phone in some Tokyo shop (instead of my third world shithole country)? Of course the language of the phone isn't an issue, I think.

>>59922103
Thanks for the hint. The Nokia 5 seems like a good choice. Isn't the Snapdragon 430 somewhat outdated though? Will that be an issue especially considering power usage?

>>59925486
A phone bought in Japan most likely wont work back in your shithole country because the network bands they use are different

What do you think of the ZTE Axon 7 min? I can get it for 15% cheaper than the regular one, but that one goes beyond my budget.

I got my OnePlus 2 stolen yesterday and I need to get a somewhat good phone as soon as possible, I'm a mobile game dev from ass country.

>>59925943
It's ok but not as good the regular one

Nokia 6 or Moto G5?

Nova Plus or Galaxy A5 2017?

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro? Yes or no?

>>59926387
Yes. It's ridiculously good.

I got a S7 on a contract with Virgin. Hadn't used a samsung phone. The thing I don't like is the duplicate software. I use google now launcher, and I open the app drawer and have 2 apps for "calendar." You can't just go into settings and remove the apps. Any tips? Is unlocking and rooting the only option?

The small version of the Redmi Note 4 is the Redmi 4 prime, right?

>>59926525
You can delete Google calendar I'm sure

Is there going to be a large difference between a GearVR and a DayDream when I only want to watch porn?

I got a fucked up neck and cant be flipping my head around a lot to play games and shit

I havent decided if im going to drop my S6 and go to a pixel or not.
Im considering keeping the s6 for a while

>>59925233
what the fuck, thats a really good deal

>>59916441
If what you're referring to is just a simple OTG cable that came with your S7, then yes. Every single android phone that supports OTG (which is most of them nowadays I think, just check GSMArena) supports using a keyboard and mouse. Even if they don't support OTG, they support Bluetooth, and so you could use a BT Keyboard + Mouse.

Need a new phone. Hard budget of $400, but less is always better. Live in the U.S., unlocked phone preferred so I'm not tied to a carrier. Preferably something that can run hearthstone without lagging like a motherfucker. Battery > camera > screen > speakers, in terms of my preferences. I can wait if any upcoming phones are quality inn my budget range. I'm coming from a Moto G first gen so anything ought to be a massive step up. Also, not a fan of phones much over 5.5"

>>59926649
Sprint's $350 G6.

>>59926643
Not an OTG cable, but rather an adapter that converts your micro-USB to normal USB. So those are also readily available for USB-C, then?

>>59926679
That does look like a pretty good deal. If I get tired of Sprint is the phone unlockable? I hate phones tied to one network, nothing more Jewish in existence

>>59926596
Correct, also goes under the name of Redmi 4 Pro on some chink sites too. It's basically a Note 4x but smaller and a camera slightly worse.

>>59926902
Note is bigger and more powerful. The non-Note gets better battery instead (Though the Note still lasts long as fuck, 4100mAh and shit)

desu, it all depends on the size, which one you prefer.

Alright goyims, anyone here own/ed bq phones? They seem really well positioned and good value.
Ones I've got my eyes on:
Bq aquaris x5 plus
>5" 1080p bright as fugg LTPS LCD
>3gb/32gb ram/rom variant
>sd 652
>16/8mp camera
>dual sim dual standby
>dual band wifi, bluetooth 4.1LE, nfc, global unlocked bands
>glonass/beidou/Galileo for maximum nsa geotracking
>dedicated micro sd
>fingerprint on back (where it fucking should be)
>backlit capacitive nav buttons
>3200mAh battery
>stock android except camera app
All for €280, although amazon is selling it for just over 250.

Bq aquaris x is same as above but
>sd 626
>5.2" 1080p 650nit LTPS LCD
>hybrid dual sim/micro sd slot
>usb c and quick charge 3.0 support
>3100mAh battery
It's also €290 and is coming in may/jun

There is the x pro but it's out of my budget and i don't care for dual cameras, which is about the only difference along with 4gb ram.

Bq seem to be really good with updates, probably because they do very little above stock android. Also one of their previous phones launched with a cm variant and another has official lineage support which is encouraging.

What does the average /g/oyim think about these phones? Hoping someone can tell me about them because literally only one review that is in a language I know and it zooms through it.

you can pick between the amazon edition and regular.
At first I was going to buy the amazon ad riddled version since I planned on immediately rooting and debloating, but after reading up on the g4 amazon edition people said the bootloader was not unlockable.
The one I ordered is just a regular g5 plus with an unlockable bootloader. Only reason I ordered from amazon and not the moto site is because I get prime delivery.

I heard the same problems were on Doogee Shoot 1. At least it is cheaper.

so, my Moto X 2014 is dying I think, internet only works via wifi, it doesnt load anything through 3G/LTE even though I have a data plan active

I installed tPacketCapture and did some logs, but I don't know how to read them (I know how to open them through wireshark, but I can't understand what it means)
can anyone help me with this shit?

also, I bought an LG X Power on a deal as an at least temporary substitute for my Moto X, but it has only 16gb of storage space
I think I'll buy a MicroSD card too

My S8 plus will hopefully arrive next week. Upgrading from my S6 on a 12 month payment plan. Fairly quickly expensive, but I suppose I'll pay some of it before then. I figure it's worth upgrading from my S6, as before this I had the S4. So it's a two year cycle. Hope the S8 will be worth it..

Guys I have a quite big problem.

>muh youtube whenever I am doing something different from studying.
I think the money for the reparing are not justified and maybe is better to buy a whole new phone. My budget is around 150€ so i can probably buy a zuk z2 or some xiaomeme note 3. I want a phone at least as powerful as my note, with a decent screen (better if >5") and a decent camera. Another bonus point is battery >3000mAh and powerful speaker. What do you suggest me? Thanks /g!

>>59928387
so im fucked, the cheap tempered glass that comes with it was flat, not curved, so the curved sides of the phone are exposed with gaps, are there tempered glass that actually fills the curve or all are shit?

Haven't used Zuk, but Redmi Note 4X/Global seems to fit the bill. Battery is 4100 mAh, lasts me over 2 days easily, screen is very decent. Camera is kinda average, but I don't think there are many better options in that price range.

Is SD652 ok?

>with a decent screen (better if >5")
5.5 1080 with 450 nits max brightness

>and a decent camera.
Probably one of the best at the price range. No OIS so if you're taking a night shot and have shaky hands you'll need a tripod or a friend. Low light is good but night shots is better with manual settings, low ISO with high exposure time.

> Another bonus point is battery >3000mAh
4000mAh around 10 hours only on PCMark benchmark

>and powerful speaker.
Audio quality is superb but loudness is on the quieter side. Most use Viper4Android with Dolby ATMOS to make the loudspeaker louder. It also uses LeEco audio software so it can use DTS and Dolby ATMOS.

It's the only new LeEco phone with a 3.5 mm audio jack

Hey, i wanted to know what you think about the Xperia X. In the actual state of things (sorry if it doesnt mean anything) i can't really go on every phone i want, i would rather stay with the choices of my next (phone provider (?)) catalog.
First, i wanted a Oneplus 3T so bad, but as I said, I changed my mind, was going for a Galaxy A5 2016 and now for the Xperia X.
What do you think ? Is the Sony nice enough to not regret the OnePlus ? Is it really better than the A5 ? I'm mostly looking for something pretty much responsive, with less bugs as possible, overrall powerfull enough to do anything. With solid build for at least 1,5 years of use and to handle games like Hearthstone. (Btw, i'm not willing to have a microwave in my pocket...)
Also i'm french, and thank you !

Disregard everything said. Go for the ZUK Z2. It's easily comparable to the OPO3 and I've managed to get higher benchs than it. It's a great phone, it has the same size of the Nexus 5 (which we all know is the perfect size, Nostradamus predicted it). Community is growing, there are a shitton of roms already, official support for 7.1.1 (if you're into chinese roms).

At half the price of the OPO3, this is the best bargain you'll get.

I see OnePlus 3T's for around £360 on eBay, whereas they are £400 from the official site. Should I be suspicious of the cheaper sellers?

>>59933449
Yes. They are still a lean startup meme so it's unlikely that they are selling legit products through third parties

Reliability seems ok enough, I checked out 1 Russian and 3 Chinese forums for it but not much problems except for one Russian guy trying to repair his screen after cracking it. It doesn't seem to have fingerprint sensor issues like the Le Max 2.

It's main problem is 32GB with no external. Second problem is its updates aren't coming, last one was January.

Here's some camera samples: https://www.flickr.com/photos/146754051@N04/sets/72157679140730490/

>>59934329
From my experience repairing Xperia Z models they have the weakest digitizer (glass). Even a slight crack in the corner will often render the entire touch unusable. Depending on how likely you are to drop it I'd recommend against it. If the XZ is waterproof I wouldn't rely on that fact very long either.

Otherwise a fine phone internally, can't remember if XZ got some metal on the outside frame or if it was made more like Z5 with plastic shit everywhere.

That picture is a G4 Plus, not a G4. FYI the G4 uses an abbreviated version of Android.

You can of course root it and do what you'd like, etc. Motorola/Lenovo even instruct you how to unlock the bootloader.

Anyway, i use a G4 (not rooted).

I use it with a case and love it.

Are there any phone with 4GB of Ram under the oddly specific amount of $225?

>>59935681
Oh, never mind the pic, didn't even realize it.
What do you mean by abbreviated version of Android, how does that impact the phones capabilities/performance?

>>59934444
Moto G4. I bought it last week.
Checking your quads btw

>>59935404
I had the three Moto G4 phones (normal, plus and play, went from a G4 to a G4+ and settled on a Z Play but still bought the G4 Play because i need a cheap easily replaceable phone i can take to work to watch my animes, read my mango and play my ps1 games when there's nothing else to do) so i can give you some advice.

The camera quality is nearly the same in all three models but the G4+ is noticeably better in low light if you care about that, battery is also pretty much equal despite the Play being 200 mAh smaller although it might be thanks to the lower resolution and smaller screen, the G4+ has a fingerprint scanner if you like using those, performance is top notch as expected of a phone with nearly no bloat (all stock google except for a sole Moto app meant for gestures like doing a chop motion for the flashlight etc), i had the G4+ on stock rom for 4 months waiting for a nougat update that came exactly a day after i returned the phone and the phone never slowed down or had lag, the phones are not perfect though, if you play any sort of game no matter how demanding it is the three phones will start overheating like crazy to the point where they're uncomfortable to hold, it's definitely not normal since i've had phones more powerful than these three doing more intensive tasks and they never got nearly as hot as the moto phones, the Play's screen also flickers for less than a second at least once a day but this is a kernel issue according to xda and it'll be fixed soon, also the G4+ supposedly has screen burn-in issues according to people on random forums and youtube but thankfully it never happened to me.

I'd suggest on waiting for a couple of months to see if the G5 and G5+ have any glaring issues and if they don't go with one of those instead, the G5 has exactly the same features as the G4+ but it's much smaller, has a removable battery and is supposed to be cheaper at $179 freedom currencies if we are to believe motorola.

>>59935813
Thanks, that was pretty informative, but did you have any experience with the normal G4? How does it compare to the G4+?

The only differences between those two were the camera and the fingerprint scanner (normal and play models don't have one), besides that the G4+ is exactly the same phone as the G4, body, specs and all, motorola only slightly upgraded the camera and amount of ram and storage on the G4+ and even then it was on some countries only, it goes up to 4GB of ram with 64GB of storage but over here they only had the 2/32 GB model.

So is Android v7.0 somehow better than 6? Does it make a difference?

>>59935993
I see, again, thank you for the informative posts, however I wont be able to wait to see how the G5/+ check out, besides the G4 is just in my price range so It'll do more than fine.
To add, I'm going from a Lumia 625 to this so I think I'll be more than pleased.

Ausfags, Telstra currently appears to have a good deal on the iPhone SE; $449 for the 32GB model. Not sure if there is a catch

Enjoy it friend, i fell for the Mi Max meme and it's really good for jerking off in the bed.

My gf's G5+ so far has been excellent, and the camera is pretty damn good, you shouldn't wait nor should you get the last gen Moto G when the newest one is out and it's only $29 more than your budget

>>59936043
Oh that's fine then, it's definitely a good phone with tons of third party support but the overheating thing killed it for me since i do play a lot of games with it, check on xda anyway, there might be some sort of fix for that specific issue, most phones with snapdragon 810, also famous for overheating, were easily fixed by flashing a custom kernel and underclocking slightly.

My provider phoned me. I have been using classic Nokia phones since 2001. My provider offered me 6 budget phones for free (for being a loyal customer). Never had any experiance with any of smartphone ever. I am willing to give a try. Which one of the following is the best or should I choose as a starter phone?
(Probably all of them suck I'm just curious which one sucks the least. Considering that I don't want to spend money on a phone)
Huawei Y3II
Huawei Y5II
Lenovo A2010
Lenovo B
LG K3 LTE
Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016)

What does /spg/ think of the z5c?

help an autist out
I'm using a 3 year old device and i have been using screen protector since i first bought it, and i can't use a case with screen protector because it just looks like shit. I searched a bit and internet says they're useless. Is screen protectors are meme or not using them is a meme? Do you use it?
phone is using gorilla glass 2 btw

>>59936413
They're a meme, they aren't going to protect anything (unless you're putting keys in with your phone, in that case just use separate pockets bitch) and they actually make using the screen feel much worse.
Buy a solid case with a lip, ditch the screen protector.

>>59936323
The J3 definitely, the two huaweis suck shit and are dinosaurs by todays standards, lenovo phones are trash and low budget lgs are always a terrible choice.

>>59936437
thanks anon, i failed for the meme i created
Can you explain what is a "lip" of a case, engrish isn't my first language but i'd guess cover of the case? Or can you upload a photo

You can easily get it for 150 or less if you look for good deals. I got my Redmi note 3 for £80.

>honor 6x costs 210 british bucks
>moto g5 plus costs 249 british bucks
>the g5 plus is inferior in camera and specs and only does well cause it starts out at android 7.0

explain this shit.

>>59936777
you can see a better changelog if you google "android 7.0 features"
It's better and more optimized, doze is even more improved, you can change dpi in settings etc. if you're on lineage OS, update when nightlies come (since stable branch is dead they just label buggy things as "TEST"), but if you're using stock OS you should search the update, phone manufacturers often fuck up updates and new version becomes even worse than previous one (as seen on samsung and lenovo) major issue being shorter battery life, when it actually imrpoves it in aosp and lineage
planned obselence? retarded programmers? you say.

>>59936444
Thanks for the answer. Would do a polite sage, if it would be still allowed here.

Buy a OnePlus3T™ RIGHT NOW!

I bought the Moto G3 in June 2016 to replace my aging 1st-gen Moto E. The G4 was already out by that point but I was kind of disappointed with it, IMO the G3 was a better device, especially at $170 Canadabux. The G5 looks like it will disappoint even more. Poor build quality, poor battery life, and not the slightest inkling of water resistance; in other words, everything that made the G3 great is absent. This is a prime example of resting on one's laurels; the Moto G gained a reputation for being a great budget phone and now Lenovo is using that to peddle a mediocre mid-range phone. Fucking Lenovo ruins everything they touch, I swear.

If you're in the UK have a look at the Lenovo P2

Palm Pixi, bought used in 2010, first cell phone and smartphone. Loved that little guy, battery life was great, the keyboard was super comfy, it was tiny and fit everywhere. Didn't have a data plan the whole time I owned it (lol cheap university student) and it had no WiFi, but I was happy without those things. I eventually replaced it with a Blackberry Classic, which was so unimaginably superior in every way that it wasn't even funny, but I still feel a pang of nostalgia for the Pixi.

Why?

>>59936984
Have you actually tried a G5+? I've used all kinds of phones and it is a damn good budget phone

So i had the Note 2 (as my first smartphone -- i stuck to my fliphone for too long) and it crapped out...then i got a Nexus 6 and it has recently gone to total shit: dverything loads slow as fuck, camera is shitty wont charge sometimes etc, and i really tried to be gentle with both

What im asking is -- i literally just want a non apple phone that is above all reliable, but also has a good camera and doesnt have a shitty ass processor or whatever.

USA, Sprint, budget is like...$600 or less??, and i dont care what size in the slightest
