I am looking for a youtube channel I saw on /g/ a few months ago in /spg/

It was just this autist with a monotone voice taking apart new phones/tablets and then trying to put them back together afterwards but usually he would just take them completely apart while talking about the components.

this?

>>60041718
Yes thanks man. I have been searching for this guy for months to show a buddy.

Okay boys, need help. Canadian here.

I'm on Rogers. Don't do much special with my phone. Take pictures, watch videos, listen to music, browse the internet, social media, email, etc.

I can get a G6 for $180, an S8 for $250, an S8+ for $320 or a Google Pixel XL 128GB for $480.

These are just the regular prices, and I intend on waiting for a sale on whichever one I choose, but they'll still be discounted the same, so the differences in the base prices are really the most important.

What do you guys think I should do? I'm weary of bootloops on the G6, weary of hardware failure, TouchWiz and Bixby autism on the S8/S8+, and I'm not sure the Pixel is the best value compared to the others.

The Pixel's hardware and software don't worry me in the slightest, it's just that it's pretty expensive compared to the others. If I wait for a sale I'll be able to afford it for sure, but then the sale prices for the others will be even cheaper...

Ideas?

>I can get a G6 for $180, an S8 for $250, an S8+ for $320 or a Google Pixel XL 128GB for $480.

where the everloving fuck are you getting those phones that cheap?

If I want to get the moto g4 from amazon, is any warranty provided?

>>60041868
S8

>>60041890
He's probably on a plan.

>>60041890
Most likely not paying the full price outright

Reposting from last thread for those who are curious about the S8/S8+
This is coming from an iPhone btw
Pros:
>That fucking screen
>camera is just right
>speedy, no stutters (yet)
>great for multimedia
>very fast wifi/cellular
>Face/Iris works well even if there's some sun directly on it
>RAM usage is good
>great battery

Minor gripes:
>fingerprint sensor, but it's actually pretty decent if you're a big guy
>no dual cameras, but those are kinda of a meme
>edge screen can sometimes take a couple of attempts to bring up
>samsung software (not lag, but minor regionalized things)

Cons:
>gyroscope for potrait/landscape is a bit oversensitive
>a bit taller than I would like
>No, i don't want bixby, I want to change the volume

I got a HTC One M9 with 2 year contract through sprint for $1.00

no Im not leasing the phone, it was one of the last 2 year contract phones available before this leasing bullshit all providers use. I got pretty lucky.

>>60041913
>>60041918
This.

My dad has a corporate deal/offer from his job, so we get a discount on a sharing plan (it's a Rogers Share Everything plan, to be specific). Because of this, we not only get a good plan on a reliable, big carrier's network for relatively cheap, but we also get a shitload off of the phones for being on what is otherwise an astronomical plan (regular by Canadian standards). We also pay get a larger discount with each person that joins, so when I switch onto the plan we should get an even larger discount.

Basically, I'm lucky as fuck.

I recently found an iPhone 7.
I have an S8 so didn't think much of it and besides checking with my building's security haven't taken too many steps to return it.
I tried to do a factory reset so I can have it as a spare and now I am stuck on the iCloud activation lock screen. Is there any bypass to this?

>>60041976
Kill yourself, thief.

Pixel XL is best phone pass it on

>>60041976
No you fucking nigger, try to find the owner.

>>60041993
>>60041988
I honestly didn't even realise this was an anti-theft protection.
I definetly didn't steal it and the police in my country won't take the phone all they'll do is report the IMEI and your contact information.
I have had my phone stolen before so wouldn't be passing on negative ju-ju if I could help it

>>60041976
Just give it back to security. Unless my knowledge is outdated, iCloud activation is nearly impossible to get around without switching out the motherboard. Even so, if iCloud doesn't fuck you over, a IMEI carrier blacklist (which will mark the phone as stolen and prevent it from connecting to just any carrier) can and will.

Is there any apps/content that takes advantage of the HDR and/or neat resolution the S8 has?

>>60042061
Yeah might just give to security to hang onto. I found it on a park bench that makes kind of a courtyard with four other blocks so not certain it is someone in my buildings

>>60042062
Pirate some wide screen [>2:1 aspect ratio] movies.

HDR content is pretty slim pickings afaik. I mean, you could find some 10bit movies/shows online (10bit is most commonly found in anime).

In terms of actual, proper 10bit content, you're stuck with 4K/UHD BD rips, if you can find and fit one on your phone.

1440p media isn't really a thing, so you'll have to hope 4K will playback on there.

tl;dr Wait for Netflix/Amazon to update their apps to support HDR, it'll be difficult to find any real HDR content on torrents.

>>60041975
Wow, same here basically.

>>60042088
Yeah, the only method I know of is so expensive and difficult that you might as well just buy a new back up phone if you're that bothered about having one.

Phones aren't really hard to find tho, at least not to bother having a back up for. If you ever need a quick, cheap replacement, you can never go wrong with a Moto G.

My deal is through No Wires Direct. Yours?

I'm about to switch over from """"unlimited"""" $35 on Wind/Freedom. I would stay if they had better coverage. I live out in the sticks, about 20 minutes outside of a fairly large town. Wind told us they bought a plot and were expanding the network up to us nearly 5 years ago-- still nothing. I doubt they'll ever expand on their old network now they have their newer one, and only a small handful of phones work on it anyways, so I'm probably gonna give up my grandfathered """unlimited""" for Rogers.

Do you think I should keep the Wind plan? I get by just fine with it, it's just that it's kind of shitty value to pay $35 for what's essentially unlimited talk/text with 5GB data (they slow it after 5GB, plus I never use that much anyways) on a shitty network that doesn't even cover my house/neighborhood when I could pay about $60 for unlimited talk/text with maybe 3/4GB of data on the much better Rogers network that actually covers my house.

>>60042267

(In regards to aicp on the zuk z2)
Awesome. This is all working *nearly* perfect. After messing around for an hour or so, my only complaints are the utouch button does not work with gestures anymore(liked sliding right/left to change the active app. The option is in the settings, but it does not work) and the phone can't mount as removable storage, only as a media device. Dunno why android does this, but it annoys me since you can't play files off the phones memory on the PC(it instead loads it into a temp folder on the PC first) and file transfers take like 4x longer.

Moto G4 (2gb RAM, 16gb) with 165€ or Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (3gb RAM, 32gb) with 230€? Is the extra 65€ worth it?

Both are offered nearby with no waiting time and local 2-year warranty (don't have to send them to china), so these are my options. Would appreciate any input regarding value for money.

I've had it for about 1.5 years, and now it's started having issues with rebooting when it gets overwhelmed, shitty battery life, can't connect to Wi-fi anymore, and screen flickering.
I've heard it's an issue with the soldering on the mobo so i'm going to try to apply thermal paste on the CPU, and Wi-fi chip to squeeze more time out of it

I was looking at ordering the Moto G5+ internationally, but it doesn't have a notification light (which I like), and it looks like it was made in 2010

Moto z play vs a7 2017, which one has the better camera?

This is embarrassing, but I forgot how to enable landscape home screen with Nova Launcher. Can you guys help me out? This is especially important with my new S8.

>>60043745
Oh, and has a decent battery (at least better than the G3)

I want a pure android phone in which I do not have to configure root, remove all bloatware.

Price does not matter to me. I live in the USA. Going to go to T-Mobile.

Google Pixel XL 128GB with Device Protection from the Google store or something else? I don't plan on upgrading for awhile so I thought that this device would be good.

is there any other I should keep an eye on?
or should I pick one of those two?

>>60043963
Pixel or the 3T/upcoming OP5.

>>60044538
You could also grab a moto g5+ which is supposed to be one of the best new phones under $300, or you could get one of the chinkphones always shilled around here.

>>60044605
What are you looking for? Camera? Audio? Updates?

Anyone else know how to root the z2 in aicp? I tried installing the SuperSU IMG with TWRP, but it never actually gives me root. When I open the app, it says it needs to update. Neither the TWRP or the other installation option work.

>>60045292
That's MTP. You can browse the files on your phone but it's slow. Transfers are slow too. They're talking about mounting the phone as external storage, essentially turning your phone into an SD card reader. This is how Android used to work, but Google changed it so you didn't have to unmount the SD card from the phone before accessing it from a PC.

>>60045292
**Pssst**
(You're an idiot and you don't know what you're talking about)

>>60045292
Yeah, that's shitty MTP instead of mass media like they used to have it, exactly what I said.

>>60045467

>>60045467
I mean, you might as well get an S7 if you're gonna do a Galaxy again. It's basically just the S6 but better

>>60045012
AICP has magisk root built-in in settings.

>>60043248
I've set left swipe for google assistant and right swipe for switch to last app, works fine. Switching to next/previous app with swipes is ZUI-only feature. And pretty sure you can't mount as external storage in ZUI as well.

Im interested with Redmi Note 4, which SoC has more power efficiency ? Snapdragon 625 or Helio x20 ?

>>60045661
SD625 is supposed to be fantastic, looks like the battery life should be better on the SD model according to GSMarena's rating 119hr vs 83hr.

Turn it in though OP. If the owner had even a little intelligence, they'd call up their carrier and flag the phone. Ain't worth it.

Is there a single music player on Android that can compare to the original iPod touch interface? Everything I've come across is either bloated botnet shit that tries to do too much with a cluttered interface, or often buggy open-source apps that can't do enough. I currently have Vanilla Music on my Moto G4, since it was the most functional lightweight player I could find and had the fewest bugs. I would want something like that but with a more refined interface that includes the ability to sort stuff alphabetically. For the time being I still use the same iPod I had in high school 8 years ago.

>>60045094
They probably switched to it because of retards who fucked up their phones by unplugging them without first ejecting them. My sister had this complaint about her Galaxy S2 ages ago, said the phone was "fucked" and used it as an excuse to buy an iPhone 6. I found out the reason why it was acting wonky was because she just yanked the cord out of her computer whenever the phone was mounted. I took over it, installed CM 11 and it was perfectly fine for another 2 years. Google had people like my sister in mind when they decided to move to MTP.

All the networks are shit. Bell used to have dead zones near my house literally smack in the middle of London (off Oxford St. W) because there were no tower blocks nearby where they could build cell infrastructure cheaply. I switched to Telus and while the reception was better I would still run into random dead zones. In a city of 380,000 people, neither Bell nor Telus can keep their shit working. I went to visit friends in Waterloo and the same sort of shit happens there too. Haven't been to Toronto in a while but I imagine the story is much the same.

I could see an excuse for this in rural areas but not in two of the 10 largest cities in the country.

Even if you're able to do so, "ripping" single parts of it it won't make much sense. And ripping the whole code will cause you trouble, yeah.

Success of an app is not about the code itself. It's about the idea, design, usability, UX, and how those pieces "work" together. Writing the code itself is the easiest part, actually.

Looking to replace my OPO, yes, the original one.
Willing to spent about $180-250, should have a good camera and custom rom support (def. planning on replacing the botnet OS it comes with, if it's not stock android). Android 7.0 support would be nice.

If it ends up being a chinkphone: how's the lifespan of those things? any recommended stores which offer at least some kind of customer support (in other words: can I return my phone for a refund if it's shit)?

I'm not. I actually ditched it last year before my college exams and didn't feel the need to check back on it until like a month later when I was finished with everything.

Has anyone had the "Unfortunately, the process [whatever process here] has stopped." prompt that just continually loops and prevents you from even accessing anything with Android? I can't get to any menus to clear cache or whatever because it just comes back the moment you select ok. I'm just about ready to loose my shit with this thing and put a hammer through it. I've already tried Factory Reset which doesn't appear to do anything at all and just goes straight back to the Fastboot menu.

Got an old Samsung stuck in a boot loop that I'm trying to fix. Tried installing drivers, Kies, Smart Switch, and Odin. It won't talk to any of them. Can't get in recovery but can get in download mode. Can't do anything from there.

What the fuck should I do to get it working, /g/? It cost less than $50 so there's no point in getting it repaired professionally.

>>60055643
Yes, if you're talking about the Snapdragon version. Though the ZUK Z2 is a great choice too.

I bought a used Nexus 5 over Ebay, and for some fucking reason the phone refuses to work with any SIM card. Using imei.info claims that the phone is carried by Videotron.

What this guy said, protip don't get any of the new moto G phones (G4 and G5 lines), they're huge, ugly, underpowered for the price (200 dollars for a snapdragon 4XX and 2GB of ram? Get the fuck outta here) and don't come with a notification LED whereas your moto G and even the most basic sony phone does.

Don't overpay, the Z3C should be around 220-270 dollars new, the Z5C is dogshit because it shipped with the housefire 810 and the XC is just a 150 dollars chinese phone in a 4.6" body sold for almost 500 dollars, and for some stupid reason it has a glass back and isn't waterproof like the Z3C.

>>60055704
Redmeme

+ Best bang for your buck phone, it sometimes goes for as low as 130 dollars
+ Lots of third party support
+ SD650 on par with SD810 with none of the problems of the SD810
+- Most custom roms break fingerprint scanner completely unless you flash some other zip on top of your rom, freetards consider this a plus
- Chinese botnet, can be easily removed though
- Shittiest camera ever, records in 1080p
- Black borders around the screen
-Some chinkshit importers say the earphone jack broke after a few months of use

Lelnovo

+ Cheap
+ YUGE battery
+- SD625 may not be as powerful as the SD650 but it's more battery efficient
+ 4GB of ram
+ 4k recording
- Shit build quality typical of lenovo
- Shit software and no third party support outside of like 2 curry roms full of bugs
-Pajeet says it overheats

X Compact is plastic, but you're right it isn't waterproof. Still, it is more powerful than the Z3C and will get an official Nougat update. Z3C is old and the SoC doesn't have official drivers for Nougat so it won't be getting an official version, you'll have to rely on dodgy XDA ROMs, and even then you'll be sacrificing camera quality since unlocking the bootloader removes DRM required for optimal camera function especially in low light.

>>60056092
Is it blacklisted? If a phone is listed as lost or stolen it goes on a Canada wide blacklist and won't work with any carrier. Try entering your IMEI on this website:
https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

If it's blacklisted there's really nothing you can do besides use it as a wifi-only device.

probably best to just use a dry cloth. Any chemicals added to the wipe will have the risk of removing the oleophobic coating. Might be fine though, but you're taking a risk.

I can get a Lumia 950 on the cheap. Is W10 still a meme?

>>60056929
It's not a meme, it's basically dead. W10 largely solved a lot of the issues facing functionality of big-name apps like Weather Channel or Facebook Messenger, as well as the most glaring flaw of Microsoft's own apps/services (Skype/GroupMe, Outlook, you name it) being monumentally WORSE on their own platform than on iOS or Android.

It did not however, fix the "lol no apps" issue from the inception. You won't have your banking app or the bus station app for anything of that sort

Sony X Compact or iPhone SE?
Tried them both out and like them both. Leaning towards the X Compact because better camera. I also like to listen to youtube in background. I know I can find a way to make that happen with Android but I'm not sure with iOS if I can do shit like that.

>>60053247
nah, since the s8 came out, it's shit :^)

>>60057494
Open youtube on Safari and you can leave it playing on the background.

>>60057733
Or just use NewPipe.

>>60057733
>>60057763
Thank you. Didn't know that and just came across it. Apparently ProTube is an app that works really well for Youtube background playback with other features as well. Costs $4. But if I'm going to be buying a new phone an extra $4 for the features I want is practically nothing.

>>60057494
SE has the better camera though

Really? I shoot a lot of nature shots and the X Compact seems to do well in situations with bright light. Plus, the 23 megapixels might be a meme but it still looks like it gives more detail with said nature shots.

Also the video stabilization looks good on the X Compact.

I like the iPhone camera but it has no manual controls and in the photo comparisons it looks a bit muted in color.

How much does encryption affect battery life?

>>60058102

Oh okay, good to know. Shows how much I know about Apple phones.
Damn, tough decision.
I like the battery life of the SE. I plan on doing a lot of hiking & camping soon and the 1600mah battery can be recharged many times w/ a power bank.
I like the unofficial water resistance and 2-stage camera shutter button of the X compact.

The metal body of the SE feels awesome and the X compact doesn't feel that special at all. But the SE screen seems a bit small. I'm used to a 4.6" screen. SE screen does look great though. X Compact screen is also great. I think it gets a little bit brighter in sunlight though, which is important to me as I take a lot of photos outside.

Some people say iPhones last a long time with Apple's updates, while some others say that Apple does some planned obsolesence shit with their updates to older phones.

I like to keep my phones as long as possible so this stuff matters to me. I have an old LG Optimus F6 which only has 1gb internal storage and a pretty shitty camera...but with root, careful app management and deletion of everything unnecessary it actually runs pretty well for everything I do.

I just want an upgrade for the better camera, better battery life, and to get off Jelly Bean and onto something current.

What's the phone with the best specs for the price? I want something that will last a long time.

>BB Q10 work phone (srs bsns phone)

>>60058639
you can get clover on any android device without rooting. Don't know about iPhone.

All phones have positives and negatives: there are no "best" phones. It's completely subjective. You gotta be more specific.

I think ive gotten desperate enough to get a refurb phone(grade b) since i need a high end phone camera for under 300$.

Uk prices adjusted.

Nexus 5x/6 240$
Honor 8 270$
Huawei p9 280$
Htc one m9 290$
Honor 6x NEW 270$
Huawei p8 180$
Lumia 950$
Motorola g5 plus NEW 300$(LOL)

Im leaning on the wawei p9 refurbished.

The wawei p8 seems like a goos budget tho.

Lumoa 950 would be the best but lolwindows.

Also lg g4 for 240 but bootloop

Any opinions?

>>60058667
Well, I ask because I couldn't actually find Clover on the google store. Only this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emogoth.android.phone.mimi&hl=en

and a couple other ones with shitty ratings.

>>60058709

Just a week ago they had the honor 8 on sale for like $260 NEW
It looks like it's almost the same exact camera as the P9

>>60058709
get an actual camera? A canon ixus would shit all over them in terms of IQ

>>60058742
most 4chan apps get removed because you can access pornographic content easily. You have to sideload it from f-droid which is so easy you might as well just consider it google play.

150 for a moto ganor p8and 150 for a compact camera seems like half assing it.

How much better is a 250 to 300 compact camera vs a s8 or pixl anyway?

Can it evwn fit the pockets of a slim fit jeans? Also no selfies

>>60059363
>But i thought the p9 had a camera close to the s7?
No chink phone is even going to be close. The difference between "decent" and "really good" cameras in phones is astronomical. Low-light performance is really really hard to do and companies like Samsung and Google have it by the balls in the software department.

Of course it is. It's just really expensive.

>>60059477
Seems like there are software issues and that Bixby wasn't really ready to debut, but otherwise there's nothing but praise.

That being said I'm not fucking paying $720+ for a goddamn phone that doesn't even have stereo speakers. Fuck pretty screens, I want goddamn stereo speakers.

>>60059557

I could never justify spending more than $600 on a phone.

How's touchjizz? How's the stutter or lag so far?

If you can find a deal do it. Otherwise wait for the price to go down.

How does the Redmi Note 4 compare to the Moto G5 Plus? I really love the Redmi Note 4 battery life but I really love the stock android feel of the Moto G5 plus.

I'm confused guys. I need a new phone soon and the Moto G5 Plus is not available in Australia yet whereas I can get the Redmi Note 4 today. I just need reassurance.

Thanks in advanced!

>>60059586
Just the s8. I don't have monster hands nor the pocket size for that. No lag what so ever. Battery life is meh, it will last the day and then some if it needs too.

Anyone running a Le Meme 2? If so, what ROM are you using? All of the custom ones I see are laggy or have some kind of problems, and the official EUI is shit to use.

>>60059647
The G5+ has better camera, fingerprint gestures (letting you do away with onscreen buttons and enjoy those 5 inches of screen), much better build quality and screen, OTA software and security updates (if the G4+ is anything to go by you'll get security updates for nearly 4 years, all the nougat updates and a buggy android O that drains the battery much quicker) and moto gestures like doing a chop motion for the flashlight, twisting for camera etc.

Both ARE chinkphones, but lenovorola is fucking everywhere so there's no need to worry about bands and warranty and even if motorola dropped the ball pretty hard in the past 3 years their G phones are still reliable.

Get the redmeme only if you're willing to put up with chinese botnet for at least a year or until pajeet, ahmed and gregor get to making stable official builds of lineageOS for it.

>>60059438

How is an article about comparing 4 smartphones relevant to a compact camera at 250$ vs a flagship phone?

why can't you get comfortable with it? have you tried using a case?

So I just received my Xiaomi Redmeme 4 Prime. What a fucking fine phone so far. I'm happy. Let's see how it holds up over time tho.
>lack of gorilla glass
that irks me, though. My last phone had gorilla glass and the glass was nearly unbreakable.

Im using a m9 right now, and I've really loved it, it's been great and screen hasn't cracked even once. Unfortunate then that my microphone seems to be busted or dusted to high hell, since nobody can hear shit from my end. Gonna see about replacing it, anybody got anything on Huawei or the newer HTC 10/U?

Fuck everything. I am debating if I should pay to have the phone repaired or if I should just get one of those Chinkphones / new Motorolas. Right now I'm using my old Blackberry Curve 3G (sold the S3) and this shit is killing me.

Holy shit that's bullshit.

I have a Blackberry leap that I got discounted online. Just found out that it has native FLAC support, feels good.

>>60063363
With the V10, the incidents of bootloops reported is lower than the G4 and 5X. I'd estimate 3%. Check the manufacture date to see if it's one of the newer revisions.

>>60065815

What, you don't have any friends in the US that could submit it for a warranty repair and then send it back to you?

>loser

Is the HTC U Ultra really that bad?

>>60066224
Honestly if you want a good HTC device just get the 10, seeing as it's probably pretty cheap now. I honestly believe it to be the best phone they have ever made.

The U Ultra is a step back, in that it's apparently fragile as hell, no waterproofing, relies too hard on the second screen meme that LG tried, and costs almost $800. HTC keeps making expensive ass phones that few people buy, then immediately wonder why everyone bought the iPhone, Galaxy, or OnePlus instead. The difference here being whereas the HTC10 was actually a good phone that suffered from being overpriced the U Ultra is just there seeing as it actually pales to its competition even without price as a factor

>>60066221
>"We don't perform warranty work for customers in Canada unless the phone was purchased from one of our official outlets"
>unless the phone was purchased from one of our official outlets

Having a guy in the US to send it in won't solve the problem.

>>60050528
it's going to die on you, don't ever buy the G4

>>60058709

also, why is it so cheap?

>>60058709
the lumia 950 still beats up the Samshit S8 in terms of image quality

seriously considering getting a keyone because I fell in love with the optics of that phone and that keyboard.
But I'm afraid its too locked down, even the chink phone I have is pretty much locked down. I can't change the lock screen on, I fear that the BB will be even more shut tight

>like Galaxy S8 design
>too fucking big
why

I DONT EVEN GIVE A SHIT AT THIS POINT IM NOT USING MY 60$ LG K8 ANYMORE

RIPPED OFF OR NOT AT LEAST ITS FUCKING OVER!

>>60043260
I wound't buy a 2GB/16GB phone in 2017. That's so last year.

I also think 230 EUR for a Redmeme Note 3 is way too much. I bought the Redmi 4 Prime 5" (wanted smaller manlet phone now that summer is coming and I won't have jacket pockets to put the phone in) for $149 a month ago, got it last week. I wouldn't pay the extra 65 EUR for the RN3P for the simple reason that you should be able to get one for 165 EUR or less if you really want that phone. Look around for better deals. The RN3P is rather old and outdated anyway, so either buy it a lot cheaper or get something newer.

>>60041890
he's on a cucktract.

>>60066504
It's a good choice

>>60052298
Four out of eight S8's have broken screens but that's supposedly alright because you can manually adjust the settings so it doesn't look that broken?

Please. Samsung's phone division is bankrupt and finished. Luckily for Samsung that's actually (I know many are not aware of this) just a very tiny part of that rather gigantic corporation.

>>60061563
Isn't that the Samsung GIO? I'm fairly sure it is and if I'm right I've got one a box somewhere.

If I remember correctly it's a single core 900MHz with 384MB RAM or something along those lines. And I wouldn't call it a piece of shit, it was actually a very nice phone when I got it.

>>60065994
Yes, yes it is bullshit.

>>60066221
>>60066283
I am actually not sure what I could do to be honest. Because the way they said it would imply that you could send in a phone purchased from a non-official outlet for warranty repair if you were American, but not if you were Canadian. Because refusing to perform warranty work on any phone that was not purchased from an official Sony shop would be Apple-tier levels of draconian bullshit.

I do have old high school buddies who went to university in the US but I don't trust them entirely. I shouldn't even be subjected to this bullshit. I bought a Seiko watch from a gray market importer for $400 CAD and when it started developing issues, Seiko Canada honored the warranty on a watch that was never supposed to be sold outside of Japan, ie half a world away. Why this other Jap company can't do the same for a phone that was sold literally less than a hundred miles from where I live is beyond me.

And no not the one hidden in the earpiece you can only really access by rooting

what's this anyways, is it something that only happens with particularly shitty phones or are most at risk?

Phone randomly shuts down, crashes inbetween or right after finishing and boots again

nah, that's the Galaxy Ace. I had it, it was shit back then honestly, slow as all shit, unusable save for few things.

The small Galaxy S8 is the same size as a regular iPhone 7, just with a bigger screen and smaller bezels.

How fucking manlet are you?

Why the fuck are most phones making the back unopenable now. My note 4 is finally starting to fall apart on me but I'm seeing everthing is pulling an iphone.

Can you have the batteries replaced on these new phones or is it generally pretty well sealed.

>>60067064
No.

my nigga, it was my first android phone. I remember flashing cm10 builds on that shit to make it work like a phone. Shit was cash until i fried the motherboard from cranking up the proccesor to a whopping 1200mhz

>>60067232
it's relatively easy, often you just need a heat gun a suction plug and some buisiness cards

>>60067309
800mhz
Android 2.3.6
I don't want to know the RAM
Available storage was measured in MB cause it didn't had even 1GB

It was my first one too. Just awful. But back then it was the only thing I had and was like "wooooow it's a mobile computer!!!"

>>60067368
True, but then there isnt removable storage if im not mistaken.

>>60067385
either that or they have and extra slot in a sim tray

>>60067406
Are we talking about something you have to pry the phone open to get to or just an extra slot on the phone

>>60067455
I was explaining how you'd open a unibody phone and in >>60067385
I was explaining that there would need to be an extra slot within the phone or sim tray in order to get a removable storage.
Of course you can't just add that by yourself

I'd like to get a 3T, but I'm not sure it is a good time.
Should I wait in case they show a new one in a few months?

>>60067510
I wasnt sure if the statements were seperate, thanks anon

>>60066014
First phone I bought unlocked. Paid $300 Canadabux for it in September 2015.

I felt it was a little overpriced compared to a similar Android phone, but the build quality is good, battery life is insane and it still gets OS updates. Also native FLAC support. The processor and screen are underwhelming at best but overall I've been pleased with it. It's a good phone for people who just need a phone - the lack of native BBOS apps and the extremely shit performance of sideloaded Android apps are both frustrating for when you want to do something more with it.

>>60067573
Their next phone will cost more btw, is price important for you? I have a 3T and I'd personally recommend it.

The OP4/5 will probably be released around July/August.

>>60067636
Dammit, these phones are starting to be real damn expensive.
