/spg/ - Smartphone General

First for new Nokias

Anyone with the Lenovo P2 able to confirm audio issued are fixed with the nougat update?

Saw some comments in the previous thread about it. I'd like to know before buying it this weekend.

Hey

Could anyone offer some input?
I have a 20gb data plan and for the past 3 months i haven't had any problems.

Today I received a message that I've used all my fast MBs which is impossible.

I checked my phone's registered data usage and it differs from the app usage.

The phone shows nearly 20gb of usage which is unreal but the app usage itself (5GB) is much more realistic.
Any ideas? Maybe use an app to track the usage?

I just got my LG G6 today. I bought the dual sim 64gb version with the quad DAC from Korea.

It's a really nice looking device but I've noticed it has these stupid symbols underneath the G6 logo. I haven't seen this on any other examples of the phone (I've watched and read 30+ different reviews).

Did I get a display model or something? These logos are really killing the aesthetics of the phone, it's got me bummed out.

Wow, thanks Lenovo...

Im trying to flash my Moto G but when i do it says waiting for device.

I have the Moto G drivers installed, could this be because the battery is in 0%?

Can a Phone charge while its on bootloop?

Fuck, I'm really tempted to get the g6 but the history of bootlooping is too much to ignore

Would just wait it out for the one plus 5 but need the new phone before July

under $220, I'm also probably going to be buying refurbished or something on ebay, that's worked in the past. I'm considering the LG G5 and the Lenovo Zuk Z2

I asked a couple day ago and got no reply so I'll try again: What's the best current smartphone that's no wider than a Nex5 (2.72")? Don't care about height or thickness. I replaced my Nex5 with a Moto X, but it's just too wide to comfortably use one handed. It seems that's basically par for the course for smartphones nowadays.

>>60237800
Xperia X

>>60235413
Xperia X Performance is now 399.99, not 299.99

What the lowest I can expect the Moto Z Play to drop to when the 2 comes out before they discontinue it?

>>60237418
>>60237072
I have an iPhone SE and it fucking sucks. Typing requires you use your pinkie and this things gets unbearably hot. The shit battery life to top it all off made me sell it on ebay and get an S7 active.

For those with the S8, how good is the battery life?

>>60238175
Is it really that bad? I'm coming from a Moto Nexus 6 that got a bad screen (won't turn on). It kept crashing, slowing down, and didn't have the best battery life before it died

I thought the SEs were pretty good (best battery life, smallest form factor, cheapest with decent specs).

I just want a phone that werks.

>>60235882
I just got one today too, but there's no symbols on my phone.
Maybe it's a carrier thing? My HTC M8 had them

Whats the best protective case for the S8?

>>60235882
mine also doesn't have any of those symbols

pixel XL is best phone sorry poorfags

> $150 or less
> preferably not chink
> decent battery life

What are my options /g/

I think the high specs of phones these days is just for posturing and show off. My 4 year old Moto G works perfectly fine for daily use of voice calls, texts, browsing, mails, occasional video calls etc. I don't understand the reason behind buying a flagship worth $800-900 and changing it in two years when a new model comes out. If my cheap phone can last for 4 years, surely flagships can do it too.

Can anyone recommend phones to look out for?

XA Ultra, G5 Plus, or Honor 8? Any other recommendations around the price ranges of these phones would also be appreciated. Carrier is ATT.

>>60240342
You can get reasonable deals on the Pixel in Carphone Warehouse I believe

Depending on budget

>>60235413
Best cheap unlocked Android phone with a microSD card slot that's actually in stock for under a hundred bucks?

It can be unrootable, but rootable is preferred.

>>60240742
I should have said, not looking to get a flag ship tier phone.

I'm looking for a low to mid tier and reasonably priced phone. That said I was more interested today at just getting hands on with a phone so wanted to know of any recommendations to look at.

I'm thinking Moto G5 Plus, Lenovo P2 as these seem to be recommended a lot on here. Would like to get hands on with the OP3T but not sure they are available to try in shops?

>>60240852
>Would like to get hands on with the OP3T but not sure they are available to try in shops?

O2 might have it, they have them on their website, don't think others will have it

>>60239094
It's not tied to any sort of network though.
>>60239221
Lucky.

>>60240864
Couldn't find it in O2 but had a look at the G5 and G5 Plus which were shit IMHO.

Had a look at the Lenovo P2 which was pretty good. Thinking of going for this since the bigger battery is a huge selling point for me. But certainly not buying it from the shop, sales people did my head in!

Does anyone have any other low to mid tier range phones they would recommend?

>>60241530
I'm in the same boat as you, but I've decided I'm going to spring a bit extra and buy the OP3T. I don't know if you saw in the last couple threads but the P2 has a bug where audio doesn't sync with video on certain streaming sites like YouTube. There are mixed reports of it being fixed or slightly lessened after the Nougat update but take that with a pinch of salt.

My mother needs a new smartphone, she had a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo and wants something with a similiar display size. 200€ max and no chinkshit. Any recommendations?

Anyone have experience with the axon 7 here?

>>60241594
iPhone 5S

Will the Note 8 really be 4K and 6.4" with the curved edges?

I don't want to get the S8+ if the note 8 will be better (for what I am looking for).

can't choose

lg g6 for a less-shit OS, better (subjectively) camera, better buttons and $200 less

or

s8 for a e s t h e t i c s

I'm going to China for work, and I've been looking at some Xiaomi phones and some are only available within China or a lot cheaper. I like they large battery they come with. Which models are recommended below 600$?

Should I buy an XZ premium or wait for the note 8?

>>60241834
>less-shit OS

It is actually a good OS though, and if you're from europe, you can throw roms on it, for even better performance.

>better buttons

There's an app where you can remap the bixby button.

Also, if you go with LG, they are known for boot loops, hope you're prepared for shit quality control like that.

>Country
Australia, carrier does not matter.

>Features
Faster than my shitty dying iphone 4s. Good battery life. User serviceable, I have four thinkpads for a reason.
I mostly just use my phone for playing music and podcasts, playing duolingo, quickly googling things and messaging people. The 4s struggles with some of these, especially if someone tries to message me and I need to swap apps.

I am also big on memes so if there are any meme phones or phones that respect my freedom that fit my specs I would be happy with that.

>size
I prefer smaller phones that fit neatly into pockets. But bigger screens are nice too. So I dunno, you guys probably have a better idea of what would be more annoying to deal with.

>budget
$200 ideally, max $300.
I would prefer not to get a chink phone unless it is substantially cheaper for the same or better specs ($50+).

i'm either retarded or this phone is fucked up.
1. i wipe data, system, cache, dalvik
2. i flash lineageos, then gapps, then supersu
3. i clean dalvik and do a reboot
and the fucker doesn't boot. i literally tried like 40 times. what am i doing wrong ffs

Do i get a Samsung S8+ or the Huawei p10+ for my next phone?
Currently using the Note4.

>>60242116
this is why i never fuck with my phone

For those of you interested in the KeyOne, aren't you worried about the nonstandard screen aspect ratio?

A lot of apps are probably not going to play well with the device because of it.

Blackberry Priv is on sale for $299 on the BB site.

Good deal ?

Hello /spg/, 2013 here. Is CyanogenMod dead? What are the go-to ROMs today?

>>60243048
I've installed custom ROMs on 10+ phones, even before Android existed (had cfw on my Sony Ericsson W810 and Nokia 5530XM after that) and I've never managed to permanently brick a phone. It helps if you're not a retard and are able to follow step-by-step guides, and do a google search if you run into any problems.

>>60243170
Cyanogenmod mod isn't dead, they just changed the name. It's LineageOS now.

Hey, I'm thinking of either buying the Moto G4 or the Redmi Note 4. Which should I get? Redpill me.

I've had my 1st Gen Moto g for quite a while now and loved it. Does the G4 live up to it's fame? Before that I had an HTC Evo 3d that I liked.

I've got a smashed to shit Samsung s4. Sd card has stopped being read and Bluetooth doesn't work

Should I pay £70 to get a replacement on my insurance or £140 for a remi note 4 or some other chink phone

>>60243175
i literally did what a guide told me. after flashing it never booted but my recovery worked so i decided to restore my backup i made earlier with twrp. after that it just died and doesn't respond to anything

i'm usually THE tech person in my family and i have no idea why that shit went wrong. now i'm reading how to unbrick (pc sees phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) and i'm so fucking overwhelmed by all "guides" written by pajeets in broken english that i'm probably just going to buy a new phone.

>>60242904
Same but got a G5.

>>60243392
Depends on what the replacement is

>>60243392
Get a new phone.

>>60243605
An S4

>>60243195
Thanks my man. Will look into that

>It is the successor to the highly popular custom ROM CyanogenMod, from which it was forked in December 2016 when Cyanogen Inc. announced it was discontinuing development and shut down the infrastructure behind the project

Are there any good phones that don't force Microsoft's, Google's or Apple's dick inside me?

Is there even new S4's available anymore for them to replace it with? Anyway not worth paying £70 for S4, get a Redmi Note 4 Global for £117

>>60243713
Nope

>>60243826
No it would be reconditioned. Insurance company takes in broken phones, reconditions them and then gives them to other people.

They'd swap my phone for a reconditioned one and then my phone would most likely be repaired and given to someone else.

I think I'll order that Redmi of alixpress then. I hope Customs doesn't jew me.

The only notable differences are the amoled screen, meme edges and camera.

Both perform very similarly. LG has the neat dual cameras and sturdier build.

Where's a decent place to get a phone from in the UK?

I got my last couple from Carphone Warehouse online, but I got mugged and ended up in the hospital so am in the market again. Didn't have insurance because I'm a numpty and CPW's insurance is done through geek squad which not only has a habit of not paying out on claims but they also refused to reply to my emails enquiring about pricing, so fuck them.

You can get insurance directly from o2 but it means buying the phone from them, and the prices are astronomical compared to CPW and other dealers. Cheapest S8 (wouldn't buy one because of the UI) is like 50squids per month, plus 10 for insurance, plus your upfront cost of £200 for a 500mb contract.

I tend to pay upfront for a cheaper monthly rate because it works out cheaper, and it normally comes to about £30-35 on CPW for a modest data allowance (3gigs or so, most of the time I'm in range of free wifi)

>>60244836

>Verizon phones

>>60235882
They're marks to show that the phone is complaint with EU regulations. No idea why they would have them so prominent on the phone, generally they're somewhere that's almost hidden.

>>60236562
that's great, you'll have plenty of time to admire the screen too as the "Samsung experience" lags and stutters it's way through simple ordinary tasks. The screen also looks amazing as you go through disabling all the redundant Samsung bloat.

>>60236562
How about input lag benchmarks?

>>60242602
>Is BlackBerry the only option to have a device with a physical keyboard?

>>60235413
I tried the s8 today in a store. It's a really nice piece of hardware and looks great. Too bad it comes with samsung android installed.

Is it worth getting a OP3T now, or should I wait for the 5?
Any info on what will be new with the 5?

>>60245141
It's too bad that so many normies buy into Samsung than bitch about Android being laggy and bloated with bad battery life. My coworker the other day was bitching about battery life on his S6 being worse than his old Moto X, I just shrugged and told him that's just the Samsung experience™

>>60245169
Wait, OP5 is coming next month

>>60244836
the best insurance against such a loss again is to get a cheap(ish) phone. that way if you do lose it, it's not such a big loss, while in the case that you don't lose it, you're not bleeding money out the ass on (((insurance))). There are other possibilities, not just mugging, of what could happen to your phone so it really isn't smart to buy something so expensive. Breaking it, or it just crapping out randoml. Especially when these things deprecate like mad. You have the right idea about an off-contract phone. Buy a modest phone, use it for 3-4 years (or longer, til it becomes unusable for whatever reason), and get a cheap SIM separately.

I recommend some sort of Moto, SIM-free from Amazon. G4/G4plus/G5/G5plus.

I bought a Moto X Play in 2015 from Amazon SIM-free. Modest specs, but tip-top battery life and drop-proof plastic build (glass is a meme. Metal is meh. Plastic is durability master race). I expect it to last 4 years. In the meantime my cheap SIM costs £6 a month for more than what I need.

>£250 + £6/m for 48 months
>£538 for a perfectly adequate phone and service for 4 years

Feels so good being smart, man. Dumb normies make me chuckle. Good goyim.

>>60245362
I would add that "plastic" is just a catch-all phrase. Materials like carbon fiber and polycarbonate can be called "plastic" but they're both more expensive and more durable than metal and glass. It's just that tech illiterate reviewers have made "plastic" a bad word by praising glass rectangles with all the ergonomics of a wet soap bar.

>>60245362
No idea about the Moto, but my parents use those cheap samsung handsets (J5 I think?) and they're completely unusable for anything but basic texting. Screen is awful, can't really watch anything because you might as well be colourblind (and I am), phone locks up if you happen to try and type too quickly, etc.

And it's not like you can just buy older flagship phones for cheap, because they're either discontinued or the software/hardware is designed to fail after a couple of years to force people to upgrade. Not to mention battery deterioration, etc.

But yeah, I agree with depreciation (although I don't resell, my young brother gets my old phones) and glass, especially. All-glass builds with glass sides and back just seem like retardation quantified.

I've went a couple of months without any phone whatsoever and it's kind of liberating, although what's precipitated me inquiring is I have a load of night shifts coming up next week out of the blue where I'd like to have my audible/google play library back (google play music with pirated content, ofcourse). But I managed to rake out an ancient ipod touch I won at school, and even though it locks up like a motherfucker if I try to actually use it for anything, it should be fine to sit in my pocket and play back some music.

Hopefully I can hold my breath and last until summer and possibly get the new oneplus phone, but who knows. If there's a usable phone (moreso than the J5 that I mentioned) for under a couple of hundred pounds, I'd jump on it, as that's enough for me to spend in the mean time and then keep as a back up if I do get something new.

>>60241654

Battery life is decent, screen is good, speakers are god tier

The capacitive nav buttons suck and the gps isn't very accurate at all if you care about that.

It's a solid 8/10 for most things, but those capacitive keys are REALLY bad so I'm often left wondering if I should've gone OP3T

Do you mean that the A/V sync is perfect as far as you can tell, or that you think there might still be an issue but it doesn't bother you?

I'm switching from a Nexus 5, and want to get something in the $1000 range.

The S8 is gorgeous looking, and I'm intrigued by the idea of watching movies on a VR headset. The Pixel seems not that compelling for it's price point.

I'm also considering an iPhone, the ROM community has basically died, Google is getting even more obnoxious and I would like to escape their ecosystem, and I just want a well made phone that just werks. I use Bluetooth earbuds anyways.

Got ironed out in the last update

I'm looking for a flagship smartphone(snapdragon 820 or other big SoC) and low price. Is Zuk Z2 the best for me ? It's 160€

>>60248104
I'm hesitating between the Redmi Note 4 and the Zuk Z2 but i dont care about 5.5 inch screen and I want the best CPU/SoC for this range of price under 200€

Basically looking for a smartphone with support for all of Tmobile's 4G bands; 2, 4, and 12.

I'd like it to be on the 14nm process, too.

The only thing I can find like this so far for under $200 is the le max 2, but the lack of a headphone jack is a no-go.
Any suggestions?

>>60248297
Get Bestbuy to price match the Amazon prime Moto G5 Plus.

>>60248297

just use the included adapter

Moto g5 plus is SD625, Zuk z2 is SD820...

>>60248788
No B12 on the ZUCC tho

So what's the verdict on the S8?
Sounds like it's mixed with it's a pretty good phone but Samshit doesn't let it be the phone it could be

>>60248065
Thanks for the replies anon, im gonna pull the trigger.

I drop my galaxy s5 in water.
>its water proof
It hit the floor before falling into the water and the case opened.
After 2 days of it being in memerice I tried it again and it worked fine, aside from it reading no sim card but that's only for 4g and I can get another one for free apparently. Used phone to listen to music as usual yesterday.
Next day (today) no sound is coming from the phone. No sound from headphones, speaker, or normal output.

What do?

>>60249862
You won't get a good device at that price point
>>60249955
You're fucked, repairing the device would cost way too much and it's not like you can ever trust it again anyway now that it's been water damaged. Buy a new phone.

moto g4. I would suggest stretching your budget if you can, however, to get a g4 plus or g5 instead. A fraction more exprnsive now, but will last significantly longer.

What would you recommend to someone who loved the S5? I don't want the s8 because I'm not a fan of that edge thing and unlike the S5 (which I've dropped many times and it's never scratched/cracked) the s8 looks like it cracks easily.

LG V10 had fruit loops too but tbf it was basically a G4 in a different shell. I think a small amount of G5s looped as well, and Nexus 5Xs are starting to do it now too. G4 was definitely the worst and the most wide spread though.

I can get a new, better phone no problem but I need to use this one to transfer my files and pictures. This is why I need to know if I can replace the screen or control it with an external input like a mouse.

>>60253257
if you can plug it into your laptop you might be able to see the phone's files from your computer, just copy and paste them over

>>60253317
Tried doing that but they don't load because I need to unlock the screen first.
This sucks

>>60253183
It looks like it doesn't support USB OTG out of the box, but it may be possible to enable it with a custom kernel. The problem now becomes one of installing that kernel without touch.

Is it just the touch that's gone, or is there no image?
Is it rooted?
If it isn't rooted, is there a PC-based root method that doesn't require a data wipe and doesn't require the screen?

>>60253357
What a minute, did you set USB debugging in developer options? Is file transfer MTP set when you connect to a PC in settings? If so you should be able to transfer

Any Pixel owners in this thread?
I'm considering getting either the regular Pixel or the iPhone 7.
I've been using iPhones since 2012 when I got my 5 which I'm still using to this day.
What I'm wondering about the Pixel is its display's outdoor visibility and the headphone jack audio quality.
Can any owners comment on these two items?
They don't retail over here so I'd have to buy it online, so I haven't and won't be seeing it in person unless I buy it.
Also not having costumer support in my country is another worry of mine. If the screen shatters or something, I have no idea what I'd have to do.
But I'm so tired of iOS and how terrible Apple's quality control has gotten since iOS 7 that I'm really considering making the shift to Android.

Battery life is fucking insane on my S8+. Only only issue with it is the finger print scanner location. If the next note has the finger printer scanner in the screen it will be perfect

4MB, 1975x1482px

Don't ever bother with the S8 if you use screen protectors for your phones. The edge gimmick is a worthless piece of shit that exists to make screen protector accessories impossible to design.

Also, every seller of screen protectors for the s8 on amazon has gone full retard. I'm so fucking done with trying to get a screen protector for my s8+.

The first one I ordered from yootech didn't even fit the phone (bottom corner of pic) so fuck them. They were the best rated screen protector on amazon too.

Nextech advertised itself as being "case-compatible" on the amazon storefront (they've since removed that part now), but if you actually receive your package in the mail you'll see this little warning slip telling you you can't use cases that go over the edges of your phone. I tried putting it on my case and sure enough it started to peel off.

If you're reading fuck you Alex. You fucked up my order on Amazon by sending me the wrong shit, so I had to buy a second protector and return the one I haven't opened yet.

>>60261693
I do, though.

>>60235573
My guess is that you somehow have got malware onto that phone. The OS can see the data usage but the app or thing that actually used it is hiding it.

You should investigate what the cause could be. It could have come with some app you installed or a ROM you installed if it's a custom rom and it could even be pre-installed in the rom that came with the phone if you bought it from epray or chink express.

A few years ago I bought a cheap Allwinner based 7" tablet (what happened to Allwinner anyway?) off epray. It had some nasty malware built on it that was built into the bootloader so it would dump it from there onto the tablet on reboot even if you removed it. I got rid of it but that one was a bit nasty.

Something obviously used up all that data and it wasn't one of your normal apps.

If I pay off my phone bill in order to be able to upgrade, what happens to my current sim card and number? Does it downgrade to a pay as you go sim with the same number, or just become completely unusable?

Just wondering because I'm going to need to pay off my contract directly through my carrier, but any upgrade I buy will be through a third party (better prices).

>the reason behind buying a flagship
The cameras.

I've always bought cheap budget phones and I see no reason to buy anything else until progress stalls.

My $150 Redmi 4 Prime is way better than most 2 year old phones, even most 1 year old phones.

The Snapdragon 625 CPU combined with the Adreno 506 is more than good enough for everything I ever do. 3 GB RAM is enough for what I do. 32GB+64GB SD card storage is also enough.

I don't think there's much, if anything, a flagship phone can do that mine can't - with the exception of the cameras, mostly the back camera since many flagships still include a garbage front camera (which has always annoyed me since I use the front camera just as much or more).

I'm fairly sure everyone is able easily to tell the difference between a picture or a video taken with the Samsung S8 and the Redmi 4 Prime when it's viewed side by side. Flagship phones have better cameras, but that's about it. And I personally don't think any flagship has a camera that's better than your average $200 compact camera (which all have optical zoom and so on) so I personally don't think that makes it worth paying $900 for one.

Currently have a 3T and love it, but after seeing the S8+:

>2 microsd slots
>6.2" display

It's so damn tempting. The 835 would be a small bump in performance but going from a Note 4 to the 3T I miss the screen size. I'm at a loss. Maybe I'll just wait til the price of it drops

>>60264049

Not him but the 821 has pleasant performance, the usb-c quickcharge is delicious, and it's very easy to root/toy with if you're into that but aside from kernels the stock rom is perfectly fine.

My only complaints are the screen size (I'm more into phablets in this regard) and the short charging cable which isn't too big an inconvenience given how infrequently I need to charge it only to have it full in 35-45 minutes.

Is it a good idea to just buy a cheap flagship from 1/2 years ago?

Reasons why?

Looking for purchase advice.

Currently using using a Moto X Pure, but I've run into two big issues after a couple of years of use: Bought the lowest storage model and am using an SD card, but without root I've filled up internal storage with apps (More annoying than a deal breaker, formatting as internal storage doesn't help with this for some reason), and the camera is getting to be unbearable.

I have a fairly important vacation coming up in October, that I really want to be able to take excellent photos and videos of using just my phone, and I'm really tired of my phone constantly telling me that it can't update apps due to too little storage.

I don't have a budget other than ideally nothing more expensive than an iphone, and would prefer android (Really dislike apple, but I understand for camera quality I may need to look their way).

Any suggestions for currently available phones? Or am I better off waiting until closer to the trip in late October?

I need a phone before 15 june.

oneplus 3t vs xiaomi (one of them).

Which else? and which can you recommend for this price range. 200-450 euros.

You're just taking snapshits, if you want to take decent photos get any kind of dedicated camera. That being said, check DXOmark mobile to check grading of cameras. You can also compare sample images of multiple phones on GSMarena.

xaiomi mi5 is from february 2016 for 211 euros,

To buy or not to buy?

Is there a reliable estimate on how much this phones going to cost?

>>60267217
Around 230 euros.

Just picked up a G6 because it was 50% off.
Should i expect this thing to explode in my pocket or what?

Also whats the best minimalist launcher? I used to use apex. That still a good choice?

Xiaomi is fragile glass. I wouldn't buy.
One plus 3t. Just get it. There's no major problems with it at all and since you can afford it you have no reason not to.

There are some Xiaomi wit Gorilla glass. Mot that it matter as most modern glasses are pretty much equivalent.

glass back

Also they have poor internal construction that's not sturdy at all.

IIRC the N64 I'll have a lesser SoC, the battery is no where near as big, and it's probably going to sell for the same price

Oh and the P2 can be bought right now

That is the most stupid thing I ever watched. Only Applefags sit on their phones.
