>>60497170
S7 is superior in every possible way.

anybody here with a white ZUK Z2 PRO? How gay does the gold frame look?
In some pictures it's barely noticable but I'm just not sure.
And don't tell me to get the black one, it's not available anywhere for a fair price.

>>60497137
Not really, chinkphobe.

>>60497137
No. What exactly is wrong with the S5 though?

>>60497208
That's what I asked him, but I guess it's just him being bored of his old touchjizz phone because he doesn't even know custom ROMs exists and he wants to fulfill his soul with a brand new waste of money.

any recs for a verizon 4g phone? price would be anything under $200

Why is Moto g5 so much recommend specs aren't special at all

>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-6-to-arrive-in-Europe-and-Latin-America-with-less-memory-upgraded-front-camera_id94145
>HMD looked at the whole package of the Nokia 6 and combined that with global consumer feedback to enhance features that will impact the everyday use, such as adding auto focus to the front facing camera.

>We know the tech spec race isn’t for everyone, the reality being that most consumers will notice very little difference in performance between 3GB and 4GB RAM, but enhancements elsewhere in the device have a huge impact on the day-to-day experience of using the phone.

>Long story short, the Nokia 6 units that will be sold in Europe and Latin America, will come with 1 GB of RAM less than their Chinese brethren and less storage, making for a total of 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage memory, but they will feature auto-focusing selfie snapper

REEEEEEEEEEE
Fucking normies I swear. I don't care about cameras.

>>60497621
Find something better at $150 that is not chink.

Zuk Z2 and Le Max 2 are fat better spec wise but he doesn't want chinkphones cuz he raycis.

>>60497721
Read the fucking article
>This, however, excludes the Arte Black edition which will still boast 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage
If you want 4gb RAM and 64gb storage you can still get it.

>>60497621
If you don't want to deal with chinkshit then moto g5 is the best phone you can get.

>>60497390
Install a custom ROM and and swap the battery (if needed) and the S5 is still a perfectly fine phone for 1-2 more years. Don't think there is a 150€ non-chinkphone that's a straight up upgrade from the S5. Though none of that really matters if he's after a new phone just for the sake of having a new phone.

>>60497781
Yeah, at a higher price.

>>60497837
>4/64 version costs more than 3/32
no way

I fucking hate all glass and metal phones, they feel so slippery.

Is this LG worth it? my G4 has started to shit the bed and £400 doesnt seem a bad price.

>>60498038
Also would there be much point in this G6 over a oneplus 3t given the specs.

>>60498021
Do skins actually provide good protection?

I use a case for my Xperia Z3 since it was so slippery for me when I first bought it. I'd love to avoid cases entirely. My Galaxy S5 is fine without a case, would a skin feel a bit like the back of the S5?

Just got an axon 3 in the mail.

What apps should I install on it? I've only ever had shitty android phones where web browsing and actual usage was a chore.

I've glanced over the wiki and pulled a few things from there - but what does /g/ use?

>>60498085
axon 7 meant to say

>>60498099
Update it first and foremost. Then install all your usual applications. If you don't use chrome sync, try other browsers like the chromium based Tuga. You could also try unlocking the bootloader, rooting it and such.

>>60498083
No, I had a TPU jelly case over a phone dropped it and the screen still cracked even though it landed on the edge of the case towards the back

I'm in the store should I buy g6? Pls quick ;^) £585

>>60498200
>>60498038
No, get an OP3T.

>>60498166
Thanks, updated it to nougat yesterday. Still considering whether or not I should root and put another rom on it.

How does Tuga compare to browsers like Naked?

>>60498207
Does seem a better deal, but I may wait for the oneplus 5 depending on the price.

>>60498240
£585 is not worth it for the G6. it's still uses the SD821 instead of SD835, and has a shitty camera too.

>>60498272
The link I posted has it £400.

>>60498240
Do note that the op3t might dissapear from stock around the time the op5 launches. They did discontinue the 128GB version of the OP3T after all.
>>60498211
I never used Naked. I personally use Chrome Beta because I am kind of bound to use the in built password manager and bookmark sync. Tuga is a snapdragon optimised build of Chromium, but Google decided to fuck all the unofficial chromium builds and broke account syncing for them. Otherwise, it's a little smoother than vanilla Chrome.

>>60498294
Thought you were >>60498200 too kek

Anyway £400 still ain't worth it.

>>60498272
What about £400 for OP3T?

Not bad for a $140 phone.

>>60498409
Alright but I'd still wait for the OP5 next month.

>>60498409
Get the Axon 7

>>60498083
A skin isnt for protecting your phone, it's just to make it not slippery

>>60497239

Question: It's better to buy a new midrange or a 1 year old flagship?

>>60499348
It depends on the hardware advances of the time. In 2016 you'd have been better off buying a new midrange with a SD625/650/652 rather than an older flagship with a SD808/810. Right now, we're waiting for the new generation of midrange chipsets from Qualcomm, as there are a lot of chink phones running on 820s around (and those are currently the better option imho).

>>60499319

>>60499387
I'm planning to buy a HTC10/S7 flat or OP3T in september, with a budget of 400€ or so. It's a bad idea?

>>60497441
I think the camera is what tanks the phone in that price segment, doesn't seem to compare too well to, say, the Moto G5's

Need a phone in the 400-600€ price range relatively soon.
I'm eying the OP3T.
When is the OP5 gonna release? Should I wait perhaps?

>>60499492
>HTC10/S7 flat or OP3T
Those are some pretty different devices. Futureproof wise, the OP3T is a good bet considering it has 6GB of RAM and a dedicated community behind it. The HTC10 has superior audio output, while the S7 flat has quite a few good additional features oneupping the other two. It all depends on what you're looking for in a phone, but take note that the OP3T might not be available anymore in september, the S7 might be abandoned by Samsung when the S9 comes out (and most features are borked when running custom ROMs) and HTC's situation (as a company) is somewhat prickly and its screen is unusable with polarised glasses.

>>60499387
Any chance we'll get an SD660 for below $190 in July?

>>60499622
It should get released in June/July, and it's said that it will cost a whole lot more than the 3T. Expect around 550-600 something €. If you want the latest and greatest, it's not a bad idea to wait for it.

>>60499510
Moto G5 Plus has a better camera, sure. Regular Moto G5, not so much.

>>60499635
Close to no chances. Unless Xiaomi pulls one out of their ass, which might also be plagued by a shit ROM.

>>60499634
I currently own a Moto G2 that i use for call/whatsapp/internet browsing/youtube/music player and for taking photos at work (often i need to take pictures of electrical implants for report them on cad), i need a good camera and mass storage, but not something heavy or above 5". For once i want a "big dog".

>>60499745
>a good camera and mass storage
All 3 of them take nice photos. The S7 has better low light capabilities, so it might be the better one of the three for that. But is has only 32GB of internal storage + microSD expansion. The OP3T is stuck at 64GB of internal storage with no expansion and it's somewhat larger than the S7. If you :really: need more than 53GB (the amount of available space on a OP3T after the first boot) get w/e is cheaper between an S7 and HTC10. At this price range, there can't be a phone that's supposed to be "dissapointing", and it all boils down to minute differences in smoothness (+ for OP3T), features (+ for S7 for extra tidbits like waterproofing and + for the HTC10 for audio).

So I was thinking of getting a Le Max 2 if it goes below $175, but a friend told me that it won't be getting a Nougat update and I'm better off getting a Coolpad Cool Dual since it's getting Nougat this June along with fingerprint gestures (whatever that is) and Digital Image Stabilization for its camera. I like that it has a 3.5mm jack but the SD652 looks to be an older model from 2 years ago.

Is Marshmallow still ok for atleast 2 years? Or is Nougat the bottomline?

>>60499875
>implying anyone stays on their shitty ROM
Buy the LM2 and flash LineageOS.

>>60499875
100% Le Max 2
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/x2#get-lineageos-for-the-leeco-le-max2
You'll be safe for a good while.

>>60499713
I'd bet LeEco will have one for $150, their Le 2 x520 has an SD652 and a price of below $150.

>>60497121
That's a big bar...

>>60497121
Who is this?

>>60499944
>>60500055
Lineage OS has shit camera, if you're buying a Le Max 2 and flashing Lineage then its better to just buy a Zuk Z2.

>>60500112
Custom ROMs almost always have a shit camera due to the proprietary stuff that's not disclosed. I think it's more about screen size in this case, whether anon prefers a larger or smaller screen.

>>60500055
Did they ever fix that bug in the official one where calling 911 caused a crash?

Anyone know how well Le max 2 OR Zuk Z2 works on T-Mobile or Metro PCS?

I know they have the corresponding LTE bands but I wanted to hear first hand experience with it

>>60501357
Le Max 2 has all the 4G bands, Zuk Z2 lacks a few. you'll get better reception with LM2.

If you have a Moto 5G Plus or similar phone, I found an app, "MotoDisplay Handwave" that brings back waving your hand over the phone to bring up MotoDisplay. Your hand has to be a bit closer than it had to me on the Moto X but it's still really nice

Redpill me on Nova Launcher.

What's the point of using it other than needless rice? Stock launcher consumes less battery and gives functional access to everything you need. Considering you spend 99% of your time in apps I'm not so convinced about homescreen modifications.

>>60502806
Ricing and customization is the exact reason you fucking dunce, even if you want it to look like stock Android on a chinkphone

So after a trip to a Verizon store I got my Moto working.

Apparently when I started the activation process Wednesday Verizon's computers had a fucking stroke. They didn't even know they were supposed to send me a SIM card.

So now I have to go back to the store and get a refund for the failed activation, but finally I am with the modern age.

>>60505651
I don't really know what to look at, and most of these are chinese phones that I only get from Aliexpress or sites like those. I never bought a phone from these kind of site. Is the phone going to work simply out of the box? Will I just put my SIM into it and it will work?

>>60505677
While I agree with ya, I dont see how it relates to my post

In a more related topic
Moto G5 plus (2gb/32gb)
Or
Redmi Note 4 (4gb/64gb)
Those are my two options. I know that the note4 is the obv answer but the lack of gorilla glass and quick charging is killing me. Also, stock android, fast updates and that awesome fingerprint scanner makes me want to pull the trigger so bad.

>>60505765
G5 plus, pull the trigger already

>>60505800

>>60505853

>>60505946
Don't back talk me boy

My S7 Edge's LCD broke super hard. I'm shopping for phones and wanted to ask for opinions.

>>US, Verizon

I'd be willing to spend under $1000, but i think I can just replace my old phone for around $500? I can get LCD repaired, but I'd rather other people not have my phone for too long. The option exists to repair it myself, but I don't trust myself not to fuck it up.

I know I'll probably get a lot of hate for the Gear, but I actually really like it. I can use it independently, but I'd rather keep its utility.

As for other specs, I do appreciate a good camera, I don't game much on my phone, but I do enjoy browsing without it getting too hot. Also, trying my friend's iPhone felt bad. It was pretty small, and I felt like it was bunching up my fingers.

For the price comparison, would getting an S8 be worth it? I think it looks nice on the outside, and if I just wanted a new S7, it's only $50 more expensive to get the 8.

I'm probably lazy, but I'd rather ask people who know more about this subject than I do for their opinions.

so after reading blogs, looking at youtube channels and spend some time on pages like findpare or antutu, I am almost pulling the trigger with the redmi note 4x SD625 but, how the fuck I can be sure that I am getting the real deal and not a chink copy? I am pretty ok with all the pros/cons of this xiaomi phone but with a price that low, now I started to doubt if the shit I will get is original or not.
also, will this phone hold its ground after some years? I am not planing on getting a new phone after this one on the next year(s).

>>60510110
Zuk Z2 is the next step above the Mi4C. Camera downgrade but upgraded everything else besides maybe the OS.

>ordered moto g5 plus 4gb

is there anything i can do with a palm pre?

So there is this FPS game i like to play on android, so i connected a mouse to my phone via otg to be able to rape everyone super hard since most of the players aim with their touchscreens which is trash of course, but the problem is that even though the mouse works and i can control the android with it, if i start a game i can see the mouse cursor in it but i can't click on anything or move the camera with it.
Any idea how to fix that?
I looked at some apps in the store but they all seem like broken garbage and i had no luck so far.

Mi s4 mini died without notice a couple days ago after barely 1.5 years of service. Won't charge on any cable and pressing start button does nothing/can't go into recovery mode.

I am searching the 400-600€ range, decided I'd switch from Samsung to other brands, and I thought HTC10 would be a good way to go. Haven't seen it in this thread.

Any particular reason?

>>60512739
>>camera only slightly worse than the best (pixel)
From what I've seen of the Pixel's camera, it looks to be a downgrade from my 950 just like the S8 is.
The Samsung tax is kinda off putting, too.

What about tablets, is the Tab S3 any good ? Is there any other tablet worth looking at ?
Is Android even any good on a tablet anymore ?
I remember Googlel took away some tablet features a few versions back, like the navigation/system bars being just one panel with navigation and notifications on the sides.

Is there a single fully free iPhone app? From what I have seen everything either has in app purchases or is riddled with ads of some kind. I have not been able to find anything that simply fulfills a purpose without demanding something from you or subjecting you to something that generates money. Is this some kind of Apple policy?

It's like 5am, and my Galaxy S7 just woke me up because it was way too hot against my hand. It was still plugged up to the charger and it had a "The phone is overheating" message on the lock screen. I took it off the charger and put it in the living room, but will it still be ok? Should I just get a new phone?

>>60512965
Wait until it blows up and sue Samsung to get a free replacement.

hey guys i asked this a few days ago but didn't catch the response
i have a moto g4 and my headphones won't go all the way in and lose contact easily

>>60512965
Get a lower amperage charger for overnight charging. Put away the 2A charger that comes with it and use a basic 0.5A charger for overnight.

Some sort of CPU wakelock combined with using a quick charger is usually what causes this bomb scenario

How long do smartphones usually last? I have an Xperia Z3C starting to fall apart after about 3 years, is that a good run?
Also, what would be a good alternative to a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in terms of affordability and specs? I heard that the Xiaomi has problems regarding its UI and customability to it.

I've been using an S4 mini since its release. A week ago the phone fell and never turned on again. I'm looking forward to buying a new phone from USA amazon. A friend of mine will bring it all the way down to Uruguay. My budget is $200 - $500 android only. What would you guys recommend?

>>60510662
>buying a phone from a dead company

>>60513248
Year or two/three?

You'd be fine getting a MIUI Global since that's already debloated from most of the chink ads and LineageOS will get a official release pretty soon.

Best place to buy a ZUK Z2 PRO?
Will be shipped to Europe, so something like Aliexpress-Goldway would be nice. Basically any site that offers a price under $300 plus good chances that there will be no import tax.

When can I expect official updates for my Moto G4+ to stop, and how long further can I expect linageos to to take me?

What's the fucking point

What are the advantages to rooting a phone?

Is bad WiFi (bad transfer speeds, no connection, etc) an all-around Android 6.0 problem or is it my fault? I upgraded my Huawei P8lite to Android 6.0 and for a while, I had no problems, but for some reason, it just gave up on me and fucked me over with WiFi. However, when I downgraded to 5.0.1, it worked, but when I got my backup restored, it stopped working again, so this makes me wonder if it's my fault, but then an official update came to my phone and it upgraded automatically. Now my WiFi only works when I plug it in to the wall, but it's still slow.

The shop my friend works in is shutting down and they are selling several in-inventory mobiles and a Blackberry Z30 for a dirtcheap price of $45(new ones on ebay are listed for $150 max). Brand new. Phone looks pretty cool with decent specs and for the money, I think it'll be worth it.

What do you need more than 2 GiB of RAM for?
Assuming grown-up who doesn't play video games

>>60516184
Browsing multiple tabs on chrome
Using multiple social media sites at once
Games
Using more than 10 apps running in the background without any stutters.

4 GB RAM is perfect and once you have it you can never go back to anything lesser

>>60516048
Under $150 you can get a decent tablet for media consumption. Phablets cost too much to be decent in that aspect

>>60516184
It's not about gaming at all, but how many apps can be kept in the memory before they close. With just 2gb RAM apps will be removed from memory sooner and will have to be loaded again when you open that app again. It's not just that you're waiting longer for apps to load (rather than have them open instantly from memory) but constantly having to load apps uses more processing power too which means higher battery usage too.

You are good with 2 gb for now, because there is no doubt all apps and games will eat more ram (and battery for the constant reloading) in the near future.
