Who cares? That's not the most important part of a sensor and the camera apps on Moto phones are garbage anyways
The other main difference is that the screens are different with the G4 Plus having a better resolution and larger screen

Trying to decide between Moto G5 Plus and Xperia XA1. There isn't much in the way of reviews for the XA1 yet, so I'd love to hear from anyone that has one. Especially in regards to battery life, which is really important to me.

are there any frequent complaints regarding the op3t's hardware. any bootloop like failures until now.

>>60197324

There is a bluetooth bug affecting every Nougat device (pairing with old bluetooth devices like those found in cars and such)

Some people are reporting higher battery drain in OOS 3.14 but apparently it's been rectified in the latest open beta 6. I would just run freedom OS or lineageOS regardless

>>60197421
Lenovo P2, best battery life in a smartphone to date. Plus for £200 it's got really decent specs compared to most of the competition at the same price range

>>60197421
Redmi Pro is missing Band 4 AWS which seems to be a pretty common LTE band in Canada, I'd get a Redmi Note 4 Global instead, which has it.

Best phone for around $200? Mainly care about the camera for snapchat and video calls.

yes, even my original Galaxy S from 2010 ran gameboy advance emulator at full speed. Didn't play just gameboy games, I also completed Super Mario 64 (all 120 stars), Crash Bandicoot 2 / 3 / Racing, and got pretty far in Final Fantasy VII.

Went from Android to iOS for a few years, but I'm fucking bored of iOS. Unless the 8 impresses me, I'm probably gonna switch back. I'm assuming that the LG G6 is the best phone right now? Had a Samsung and I can't stand Touchwizz, even if they heavily revamped it since then.

Honestly would prefer a stock Android phone, but if the 2017 Google phone is shit like the Pixel I'm not interested.

Consider one of the Blackberry Androids (but not the Priv). 99% stock Android with monthly security updates every month. The Priv is still on marshmallow but it has the latest security updates so it's actually in a better position than all the phones that just got updated to 7.0 with the December 2016 security patch level. But don't buy the Priv, get one of the DTEKs or the upcoming KeyOne.

If he wanted security, he would've just stayed on iOS. I don't expect Blackberry to give Android O to any of the DTEKs, or N to the Priv.

Maybe the KeyOne will never get an update either. I wouldn't put it past Blackberry.

>>60199936
You can stick your sim into any Verizon compatible phone, I activated a prepaid line with a used Turbo 2 last fall. The only downside to prepaid Verizon aside from no device payment plan (if you're into that sort of thing) is that post-paid Verizon users get priority on congested towers, however I've only had this issue once and it was when I was in the city during a presidential candidate rally but forcing my phone to 3G service allowed me to be able to use data again.

I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 6P. This thing is hefty and I want to go down to a 5 inch phone. Should I just go ahead and pull the trigger on a Pixel or should I wait for the inevitable Pixel 2? Any other small phone recommendations?

>>60201136
Well yes anon, that's actually a rare thing for an non-Nexus/Pixel Android phone. Most OEMs don't bother with monthly updates or if they do they push them out in lumps on a quarterly basis, leaving you exposed to security holes in the meantime. My fucking Motorola is still on the December 2016 patch.

>>60201198
While new Android versions bring new features and (possibly) battery use improvements security patches shouldn'tbe overlooked. Going on patch version alone Blackberry Androids are the most up-to-date Androids second only to the Google phones. Like I said before, having Marshmallow on the April 2017 patch level is arguably better than having Nougat 7.0 on the December 2016 patch level like my Motorola is. Hell the Keyone is launching on 7.1.1, no other Android has that except the Google phones. The S8 is launching on 7.0 or some shit, probably a solid 3 months out of date too.

>>60201475
I think anon was pointing out the redundancy

>>60201513
idk maybe. Google puts out security updates every month but very few Android users actually see them. Hell I don't think anything other than the Google phones and iPhones have received patches for the broadcom wifi vulnerability. Here I am hoping for at least that patch on my Moto so I don't have to worry about using public WiFi but so far I got nothing.

Still no Dash car charger from OnePlus

I feel like I've been cucked by buying this thing. "Never settle" my ass. I have to settle for no rapid charging in my car. It's been many many months, what could possibly be preventing them from producing more? Their charging cables are also a ripoff, and you can't buy one longer than 5 feet.

This is worse than dealing with iPhone. At least there are Lightning cables all over the damn place.

Keep busting the charging port without making it look like it was done on purpose, do this enough times and they'll give you the opportunity to get a different phone, but probably only at a reseller

I want a phone that runs fast, I'm currently using the first gen Moto G and it's laggy as fuck now so I'm whether if G4 Plus or the G5 would be better

>>60203675
Explain this

>>60203712
If you want something fast, fucking anything would be considered fast, and the 617 and 430 are so close in speed it's not funny, which is why I asked if the screen or camera mattered but if you want better performance you should probably step up to the G5 plus

>>60203712
G5 plus, the G4 is both slow and has shit battery life. SD625 is a huge step up from the SD617 in the G4S plus

>>60203671
so if I just break my phone enough times they'll let me choose a new phone? I was considering flashing the wrong ROM to make it look like it bootloops, do you think that would work?

>>60203761
>>60203783
I'm in Canada, for some fucking reason Motorola only released the G5 not the Plus

I can get either a Pixel XL 128GB for $280 or an S8+ for $320.

I'm leaning towards the Pixel but then the Pixel 2 is gonna be out in the fall. I like the S8's hardware but I don't know how I feel about trusting Samsung after the various shit shows they've put out over the last few years.

do all xiomi's have nfc readers?

>>60201475
>having Marshmallow on the April 2017 patch level is arguably better than having Nougat 7.0 on the December 2016 patch level like my Motorola is

This. A thousand times this. I really have to hand it to Blackberry, they're making great use of limited resources and doing everything they can to make users' lives better. I don't know why Samsung and LG, despite shipping so many more units with very respectable margins, can't at least try to emulate Blackberry a bit.

A few threads ago some anon bought a Priv for $399 Canadabux, unlocked, direct from Blackberry. I think I might do the same thing and replace my LG G2, which is still stuck on Android 4.4.2 (partly my fault, since I was stupid and bought it on cucktract through Bell, so no Lollipop for us).

>>60203813
You know you can order it in from outside Canada, right?

>>60211318
Because where Blackberry at least feigns that it cares about your privacy, Samsung and LG look for any possible way to make money including selling your information, your dog, and first born

what would you guys choose between samsung j5 or xiami redmi note 4? or anything in that price range, I am poor and just broke my old phone

>>60211371
Note 4 for sure, at least it has a xda userbase and is easy to root/unlock/flash

>>60210960
wait for the OP5

>>60211371
Note 4, make sure to get the snapdragon version

>>60211633
>Snapdragon version
>32 GB

>Mediatek version
>64 GB

Both have same price, why do you prefer 32 GB version instead of 64 GB ?

>>60211710
because the Mediatek version doesn't get custom roms, it has much worse battery life and a slower GPU. Also Note 4 Global has B4 and B20 LTE.

>>60209569
>>60210069

Why do people recommend the P2 knowing full-well it's got a huge problem with lagging audio. 50% of Youtube videos are out of sync with video and sound.

Want to buy an unlocked phone I can just stick my sim card in. Live in the Netherlands.

Have a Samsung S5 and hate all of the unremovable the Samsung apps and I can't be spending a crapton on the S8 for that kind of shit again.

Been thinking about the OnePlus 3T but the non-expandable storage is kinda shitty, the 128GB version has been sold out forever, and I don't know if I should wait for the new one (whenever it might come).
Also thought about the Pixel but I don't know if it's worth the money.

Any thoughts? I just want some freedom in my phone, and want it to be fast and reliable; something I can use for at least 2 years. A nice camera is also a plus. Dont't give two shits about looks or wireless charging.

>>60198833
Stop posting

>>60212698
I'm in the exact same position as you. I've been doing exhaustive research on phones for the past week, to the point where I'm starting to see negatives in pretty much all of them.

I think at the end of it all though, I'm going to go with the OP3T. Even the 64 GB variant is enough space for as long as I make good efficient use of various cloud storage sites. Between Mega and Dropbox I'd have more than enough space for shit that I'm not too concerned with privacy for.

>>60212551
I have never heard of this issue so wasn't aware of it before asking if the P2 was worth buying.

Is this something recent as I don't remember any reviews mentioning it.

>>60208982
Found them in the archives lol.

Is an s8+ worth upgrading to from s7edge?

>>60213017
None of the reviews talk about it because they're bullshit out-of-the-box performance reviews. Dig through forum posts, comments on Youtube reviews, or comments on review sites like Tech radar and you'll see people complaining about it. Whether the issue has been fixed by the recent update to nougat is unclear, but the general consensus is that Lenovo aren't listening to the various complaints cropping up regarding the phone.

I don't know about you but out of sync sound on video streaming is an absolute deal-breaker for me, that's just fucking pathetic.

I currently own a Nexus 5, new battery

It's running LineageOS 14.1

>>60215173
it's breddy gud, though LG has a history of bootloops

My grandma just bought the LG G6. She is a prime example of old age preventing effective use of modern technology. Even I found the phone a hassle to use and she finds it troublesome to even find the apps she wants to open once I downloaded them for her and put them on the home screen. I needed to talk her through the fingerprint set up, as she was unable to follow the instructions which amounted to "lift your finger and put it back on the scanner". I suppose I have no specific reason to share this except my frustration of going through hours of setting up and explaining the use a phone to someone I know will never be capable of even beginning to make use of it's functions. I don't know if she just wants to be cool with the newest hottest phone but she has to know how utterly incompetent she is with technology. What a waste of money and nerves.

You’ll still receive texts from the stubborn ones who still try to iMessage you, they’re just actual SMSs. If you’ve never really adhered to the new shitty iOS10 iMessage with stickers and the like, you’re losing literally nothing as long as you have some free texts in your phone plan.

I got s7 edge and its comfy to watch stuff when traveling. If the price doesn't mean much to you thought I'd go for the s8+, it's not THAT much of a step up from s7 but definitely much better than s6.
