Looking to get a new phone as my current one is dying hard. I'm a fucking leaf so keep my price range in mind, around 300 bucks rainbow currency. I got my eye on a Galaxy S5, as it has good enough spects and button placement I like.

What think?

Looking to buy a good quality custom case for my s8. Anyone know a reliable site to do this with?

I can get a moto z play for 300, is there anything better for that price?

Why don't iThings support rest-to-unlock on their fingerprint sensors? On my Android, I just have to touch it and the device wakes up and unlocks with one motion. With iOS, even with "rest to unlock" enabled in accessibility, there's still an extra stage (either "press home to wake and keep finger rested without depressing again for ~1s to unlock" or "press power to wake then rest finger to unlock").

Why is this? Is it a deliberate design decision or a technical limitation? Are always-on sensors more power hungry?

pls help, it's urgent.

Is there a forum for discussing Android that isn't swarming with pooinloos? I actually have nothing against them personally, but their phones, usage and general mobile culture is very different from the West and their grammatical errors are consistent and grating.

I hate samson solely for their touchjizz, but this year it seems that they have killed it, that is competition all together.
the s8 is one sexy beast.
Also no bootpoops, I love LG and owned a nexus 4, 5, and a 5x that bootlooped.
look at their history with their phones, they all seem to crap the bed at a certain point.

I got the g6 about a week ago and I really like it. Upgraded from a 4+yr old Note II.

The most noticeable difference to me having been with Samsung for a while is the bloat isn't so deeply integrated. Even without root, I can turn off the few things more easily and force the third party app on top of it without worrying about it being buggy.

I almost haven't turned my phone off since I got it, stress testing it and tweaking and feel like it is overall the better choice for me because of two big things. The screen DOESN'T have edge curve, which is better for video viewing no matter how hard Samsung tries to push the 'infinity edge'. Trust me, you want some edge to hold on to the damn phone itself. Second, the software is more lightweight, and the back-to-basics approach seems to have worked out well for LG this time.

Hope that helps.

Well, I guess if you're retarded enough to fall for this you should buy an S8.

I have an s4 and the battery has ended its life long ago. The phone basically dies at around 95-100% within a minute of use. Too lazy to just buy a new battery, and I've been due for an upgrade.

Not looking for anything special but narrowed my budget between the moto g5 plus or the lg g5 since it's a lot cheaper now. Should i shell out a few more bills for the g5 for slightly better specs and camera?

XZ has """Hi-Res Audio"""
Galaxy s7 either has a wolfson dac or SD dac

From experience, the z1c had great output, though a bit quiet at line out and my original galaxy s had nice output with a wolfson dac. Either one should be fine really unless you get a SD S7 which may have a worse dac, might want to see what the autists on head-fi think about the phones.

>>60272053
The v20, g5, and 5x were added to the lawsuit recently. Probably a matter of time before the g6 is added the way it's going.

Should I just buy the s8 already?

Waiting for the xz premium is taking forever and I wanna just sell my pixel and buy the s8

The only reasons why I'm holding off is cause the navbar icons are ugly as sin and there's still lag and microstuttering when I tried my friends model

>>60272150
>getting a phone with a 4k screen

>>60272150
Your friend probably never scrubs his apps or tries to clean up the bloatware. The s8 probably will lag with all of the bloatware from Samsung but one sweep of package disabler and it's smooth sailing for me. I'd recommend the s8 over anything out now or the xz

>>60272201
I had the Z5 premium. Shit was dope. 4k itself was a fucking pleasure to use and the resolution is so high that it's like looking at a mirror of reality. The thing sucked though because of the 810 snapdragon house fire chipset and as a result battery wasnt too good.

Also you haven't lived until youve experienced a native 4k video in VR

Though if I get the s8 the screen will be a lot worse resolution wise due to the qhd+ AMOLED display

The pixel is fhd and I find jaggies every now and then

>>60272231
Do you get any stuttering? I actually found the fp scanner not really an issue, (maybe everyone else has manlet hands) also, which model do you have? Us or int?

Fuck it I'd rather wait for the note 8

>>60272263
>native 4k video in VR

Is it really that clear? I've only tried PSVR and Google Cardboard on my Nexus 5X.

>>60271672
It might be a problem with the hardware of your phone.

I do have a suggestion: Try installing an external media player that has a software decoder and enable "Open videos external" in the settings so that the video opens externally in a software decoding app.

galaxy s8 for shitty forced apps and touchwiz along with bixby

or lg g6 for potential bootloops

>>60272263
I don't get any stuttering, even as I approach low battery. I have the US s8+. Note isn't set in stone AFAIK

Vodafone AU, 40-60 dollar plan
however most of the phones by contract is not what she wants. so the budget might extend to around 400-600 aud in that case. and I don't know what to get for her...

Samsung is the most established possibility as she never had any other brand before. the only other option she has on a plan is the huewei mate 9s or the oppo R9s and to be fair, Chinese phones on a 60 dollar plan or 400-600 aud outright doesn't seem to be worth it (the one plus three/four might be but I doubt that's a phone she's really looking for)

Posting on it now, I'm extremely happy with it. I sold my Pixel XL because the battery life was shit. The screen quality, loudspeaker volume, audio quality, build, and interface speed and stability (AOSPExtended rom) are all excellent, and it has a card slot. The only thing I miss from the Pixel is its camera.

>>60275820
How hard is it to root and install custom roms on? I assume I need the snapdragon version for custom roms?

>>60275410
And does the LG G6 have a good camera output? Nope? Thought so. It's an old sensor and a lot of other sensors are better than it. Like Omnivision sensors of Redmi Note 4.

I've heard that Zuk Z2 has a better camera than Doogee Shoot 1 and someone compared them in low light. Is the camera decent for $160?

I was considering buying an unlocked P2, I didn't realise the UK lagged behind in updates. Does that mean I won't have nougat? I'm on EE. Also have you had an Audio/Visual sync problems when watching videos with the likes of YouTube etc on the P2 at all?

Is the OnePlus 5 gonna be worth waiting for or should I just say fuck it and get a 3T or a G6 or something? My current phone is running on fumes (shits its pants on a daily basis) and I can't handle it anymore.

Would prefer a good battery and good camera with a generally fast processor or something at around the price point of the aforementioned phones. I understand if not all points can be met, I'm not an idiot.

So you own one? Would you say it ticks the boxes for the rest of my criteria. As in, being brutally honest could you admit to some slow down/frame drops/heat when you put some harder loads on the phone.

>>60280635
No, I don't game with my phone desu. But snapdragon 625 is really fine no slow downs etc.

For example it lasts longer than sgs7 and iphone7 combined:

It just works like in the day I bought it. The hardware is pretty good and updating to Android 6 prolonged its life a bit too.
The consumerist part of me wants to upgrade to have a new toy, but it already does everything I need.

>>60282375
I can't imagine what listening to an android podcast must be like. My condolences for whatever tragedies in your life lead to this.

>>60282474
I just want to hear about the latest developments every once in a while, but don't want to read articles or browse leddit (I read enough all day, my eyes need a rest in the evenings)

So what are the best phones for battery life? I heard that Lenovo P2 is great is there anything else?

>>60280914
Stock android, thin but feels really tough and solid, kiler specs, and memes aside the battery mods are pretty dope although i'd recomend one that you can charge standalone. turbocharging the phone is neat.

The only drawback is that ludicrous fucking fingerprint sensor that ruins the front panel unless you install a fingerprint gestures app. That will get fixed in moto z2 which will use same multi-purpose button as g5, but first gen z you just have to swallow it.

If you can buy unlocked it's a pretty decent choice. Just don't expect it to have as good camera as S7.

>>60282665
anything xiaomi with 4kmAh will last two days, p2 will last three

moto z play has a stupidly long screen on time as well due to near-stock android, and if you can handle your phone extra THICC you can try one of the powerbank mods

both p2 and z play run on snapdragon 625 and that's the SoC you should be aiming for whatever you choose (g5+ and redmi note 4 use it as well)

I really REALLY want to get it for the keyboard, because i do a lot of reading on my phone and the capacitive touch keys is such an amazing idea. Only thing i'm worried about is the low specs. Battery life seems good, at least. It would be a small upgrade from my galaxy S5, but I don't know how future proof it will be like the axon 7 or axon 7s

>>60280028

I wonder how difficult these are gonna be for ricing.

Is there a reason to NOT get a ZUK Z2 Pro, if it more than fulfills all of my requirements? (good camera, good battery, simple design)

There's no strong custom OS support, but some peeps seem to be working on Lineage 13 support. Is that a huge concern? I def. want a chinkapp-free experience if possible. Doesn't have to be stock Noutgat but at least into that direction.

Nice m8. Was thinking of grabbing one myself but can't decide why I should get an s8+ over the regular s8. Does anyone know if the slightly bigger battery truly make a difference?

using android tablet, got an external sdcard, formatted as portable,
if you put it it works fine initially, but eventually it unmounts it self, and no sign of it on settings, what's up?

Is there a way to unfuck the soft keys on an old galaxy s4 that stopped working after an update? Google just tells me to bring it to repairs who will just factory reset everything (which apparently doesn't work either)

The deals you can get now for <$200 I'd say so if you need something now. Typing on it is the only problem I have with it and I have lanky fingers, don't mind the size otherwise. If you have stubs I'd stay away. Battery life is great.

(4X snapdragon version)
I thought it would be meh but pleased with mine right now, sure miui might turn off some purist (and i always preferred stock android) but the numerous tweaking options you can do with miui is still nice.

finding a tempered glass can be quite annoying though due to it's 2.5d curved edge.

Be sure to tweak the power/battery options as miui is pretty aggressive on memory and kills apps easily.

Camera is meh, but more than enough for its price range (if you are lucky to get the better sony exmor imx258 sensor)

Battery is awesome, easily lasts 1 day with heavy usage (intensive gps navigation, 4G data, gaming, videos, browsing etc) and 1.5 to 2 days with lighter usage. back only warms up a bit and not very hot on heavy usage. Also, top and bottom part is plastic vs metal of the original note 4 (not a biggie for me, i use a casing)

I hear it has tons of custom roms and xiaomi supports unlocked device and root.

despite having snapdragon 625, it doesn't support quick charge 3.0, perhaps enabling adds to the royalty cost, wished they could have just left out that built in IR blaster and just opted to have QC3 or NFC

If you are using google assistant, it may have issues saying the device is locked and cant use app or something, miui 8 issue, or try looking for solutions on the web


>>60276942
Are you using a samsung or sony rear sensor? Some 4X are mixed sony and samsung sensors and what camera app are you using?

>>60283007
Thanks senpai, I know you got my back.

My phone activities consist of:
>normal phone stuff
>reading ebooks
>listening to music

If I'm really just interested in getting the longest playing/reading time out of my phone, should I consider anything other than battery size? How much of a factor is the processor?

>>60287010
Processor is a huge factor, as is battery size, screen resolution, screen itself and backlighting

I have the Blade V8 Pro, and even if I'm shitposting for hours on end while listening to music and searching shit, my battery consumption is the best I've had with this level of performance, the 4XX series can only match the 6XX series in battery life but their performance lacks, 8XX tops in performance but worst in battery life

SD6XX series is truly tops as long as it's not the 615/617

>>60287287
That lends credence to the Moto G5+ people here. I've heard the 625 is good in particular but not the whole 600 range, thanks for that info.

I was considering that phone anyway but now I think I'm set on it. Processor, battery, and after the Moto G4 and Galaxy Note 4...I'm fucking tired of phablets. They're no use to me.

>>60287010
Lenovo p2 is the phone for you then it outlasts sgs7+iphone7 together.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGT36JXm-B4

>>60287441
The 625 is a great example but I've also heard good things about the 65X series and the upcoming 66X series
They are literally the sweet spot SoCs because the 62X series is the lower end with the 65/6X series being the better performance higher end

>>60285959
Yes. It's in that bootloop court case, but the chance of it happening in extremely low

Just got a S8. How did I do?

>>60285887
Raw performance probably yes.
Otherwise no

>>60287640
Good but this a poorfag general. You're not allowed to discuss any phone that isn't some cheap gook shit that costs $150.

>>60267912
Picked up the S8 last week. Really liking it. Not too much bloat and the new features such as iris scanner are excellent.
Only thing that is pissing me off is Bixby and the Bixby button. Bixby is completely useless and Samsung not allowing the Bixby button to be remapped is infuriating. I want to be able to remap that button to open Samsung Pay seeing as I use that all the time. I hope they change this soon.

So far the only decent choice within my budget I've seen is the Moto G4.

>>60287287
This is wrong.

The Zuk Z2 has SD820,and 3500mah. The Redmi Note 3Pro has SD650 and 4000mah. The Redmi only has 10hr SOT while the Z2 has 9hr SOT.

Which means the Z2 is better.

What are the downsides of buying a year old used phone? Slowness when a phone "gets older" is a meme, right? How does battery life change over time?

I barely use my phone, but I want it to look nice and have certain features that only very expensive phones have. A year old S7 is like 65% of the new price.

>>60290010
If it has been used, then battery life would be significantly lower (usually ~85% of the original capacity after a year of use).

>>60290089
Alright. Do you know the battery capacity after two and three years?

I've had MTP USB mode issues since I bought my Xperia Z5c, since they removed Mass Storage mode from Android phones. It's always been fucked and I'm sick of taking the SD card out and sticking it in a shitty reader to transfer files.

Is there a definitive fix for this shit? Using Botnet 10.

>>60290098
Honestly no, but you can expect it to be lower. Also, the battery might even have swollen, which isn't dangerous, but not exactly safe either. Again, ideally you should replace it, also because it might not deliver a stable voltage/current to the phone and cause instabilities.

>>60290232
Original batteries are only $30, so that's no biggie. Thanks though. My next phone will be a -used- one.

why is the G5 plus 100$ more than the G5 normal? Is it worth getting the plus for extra 0.2 inch display?

So what's the verdict with all this. I'm not very savvy with processors, is there not a noticeable difference from the 6xx models to the 8xx? Is it really not worth it when taking into account the power usage? I'm looking to buy a phone that can handle some full-title games like XCOM/Deus Ex, should I definitely avoid 625 phones and go for the 8xx series?

For reference, I'm looking at either the p2 or the OP3T, obviously I'd like to save money but I don't want to skimp out on a phone I'll be using for 2 years either.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new phone, duh.

I'm coming from a Note 3, in between I had a OnePlus X.

The following are my criteria:
>No fingerprint sensor
>5" screen
>SD card slot
>big xda support and rootable
>if possible physical a homebutton

I don't care if it's a new phone or a little bit older, right now I'm eyeing the Note 4, maybe the Note 5 (though I hate its round design and the smart cover looks terrible on it).
Though price is relatively trivial, I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible.

What would you suggest?
I'm not into any video games or resource intensive stuff.

>>60291100
have u seen the just released sony xperia xa1?

>>60290981
There is a big difference between 625 and 820. I'd even suggest that you go with an 821 phone like Mi5S.

SoC = System on Chip, it's basically all the components you'd have on a PC like CPU, GPU, memory + phone stuff like modem, WiFi/bluetooth etc.

>>60291309
I already have.
I use ROMs or mods to scale everything down so that it "looks smaller" on my screen.
I've gotten really accustomed to 440ppi.

Maybe I'll come up with a way to physically disable the fingerprint sensor, that would really open up the possibilities.
If anyone has an idea, just shoot me. So far I've been thinking of mixing some glue with metallic dust, but I don't have an capacitive or ultrasonic fingerprint SENSOR to test it on.

You think that works? Most fingerprint sensors work similarly like a touchscreen, emitting a electrostatic field which is being transformed by the fingerprint. Just putting normal tape over it shouldn't make a big difference.
It should probably work with metallic duck tape over the fp sensors on the back.

My nexus 6 is getting absolutely abhorrent battery life at this point (under 2 hours SOT). I don't actually care about screen resolution (720/1080p is fine), or the specs; I don't want something unusably laggy but don't need massive amounts of ram. The only two things I absolutely want are removable battery, and easy to unlock bootloader/flash a custom ROM (I want to flash lineageos or something similar without gapps to escape Google's spyware). I'm in Australia if it matters. I don't really care how much it costs but don't want to spend $1000+ AUD.

>the struggle deciding between the S8 and S8+

>>60268760
Once you see the S8's display in real life it's hard to consider other options.

Just wondering.
But when will the S8 likely have its first price drop?
Will it be when the next Note comes out?
I'm looking to get one but not really in a rush so I don't really mind waiting

Honor 8 or Huawei P9? I'm really stuck between these two. P9 has the better looking screen and camera, honor has the 64gb option and 1gb more ram. Any experience with either anons?

>>60289765
Never notice them. They look really terrible in video and I was worried it was going to be a real annoying downside to the curved screen but I haven't any reflections yet. I think the backlight eliminates the reflections for the most part.

>>60287287
I have another question regarding this, looking more into it.

The Moto G5+ has the SD625 and a 3000mAh battery. The regular G5 has the 430 and a 2800mAh battery. How big of a difference would I see between those two devices?

I'm considering the non-plus model because I really don't want to give up a removable battery.

Canadian here,
LG G6 or the S8?

>>60293664
G6 if you're poor, S8 if you're cool and have money.

>>60293656
Pretty big difference in performance, no big difference in battery life
I owned a BLU Life One X2 that had a SD430 like the G5 but it had a bigger battery and it held a charge pretty well unless the screen brightness was up high, the 625 is probably better in that aspect, but performance wise the 625 blows it out of the water
My GF got the Prime Edition G5+ and her battery life is awesome and the performance is great even though it only has 2GB RAM

Take it fwiw

I can have a iPhone SE at 400€ with 1year of applecare.

Yay or Nay?

It's kinda hard to find a better deal right now, except mabe waiting for the OP5.

>>60293664
G6 is better for video, is slightly more durable, and is cheaper. S8 if you're a numale cuck.

I got my G6 through bell for $100 because I've been with them since 2008 and if you get the right manager in the phone you'll get a top notch loyalty discount.

>>60293664
they're both overpriced memey garbage, but the lg is less memey. i say the lg.

>>60275867
You can't break it. The updates are signed and the phone won't allow you to install incorrect/broken update zips.

Just follow these instructions
>>60279615
It took more time to download than to install, it's piss easy.

>>60291447
link please? needs root access i guess?

My P2 just arrived and it is fucking sexy, a huge upgrade from my Nexus 4. I've turned off the on-screen nav and trying to get used to using the combo button instead, it's a nice screen real estate improvement.

I wasn't impressed by Three's online ordering, though. They didn't even send a confirmation email and they shipped it in a plastic envelope with no protective padding/corrugation at all. The box is pretty dinged but the device seems to be undamaged. Their exclusivity period should end soon, so for UK anons considering it, you might want to wait and get it on Amazon.

>>60294522
did you update it to Nougat yet?

Hi guys, I'm having trouble deciding on which phone should I get: HTC one m9 or Samsung Galaxy s6?
Anyone had any experience and could share it?
Or other phone suggestions for around £170.

>>60294608
Yep, did that before setting it up even. I had the update already downloaded and on an SD card, so I just had to pop it in and boot to recovery.

>>60282325
Where is the best place to buy it and why this phone
I'm very attracted to the price point

>>60294669
Do you do any gayman on it at all? I'd like an anon to report back with how it handles heavy load titles like EXCOM for eg. As in, proper full title games as opposed to muh asphalt that review sites are obsessed with.

>>60290608
Impressive

I won't be surprised if this is Doogee Shoot 1

>>60293413
Shameless self bump. Someone?

>>60290607
I doubt that. Also the screen and cameras matter too. Better performance these days doesn't mean that much

Any good ROMs for galaxy s4 CyanogenMod is bugging out on me and I need to reroot anyway.

>>60295454
Sorry, no... I barely play mobile games at all, let alone xcom.

>>60295474
There's honestly such a little difference between the two that I'd just take whatever is cheaper / looks nicer to you
