/spg/ - Smartphone General

The Oneplus 5 definitely won't work with Verizon, right? I'm looking to upgrade to the biggest, best phone on the market. I currently have a note 4. Thanks for any opinions/answers.

>>60764910

Can't tell until the specs are out, but it almost certainly won't have any CDMA support so if it works on Verizon it'll be LTE-only

If I don't do anything cpu nor gpu intensive on my phone, how would the SoC difference combined with screen res between 4x 3gb and 4 prime work out? Of course I have read reviews that put the prime on top regarding battery, but those lacking bands are a bit concerning..
Is there any chance of a SD660 equipped 5" redmi (or other sub-$230 xiaomi from legitimate greymarket dealers) that's actually available before the next year?

Bloons TD5 is the best mobile game I've played by far.
Tons of maps, tons of depth, and it's dirt cheap.

I'm on Verizon and I use my phone for pretty much everything. Should I go for the HTC U11, Essential, or wait for the eventual Pixel 2?

Is it one of those cucked contracts where you actually wind up paying far more for the phone than it costs retail ?

What do you guys think of the Moto G5 Plus for it's price?

>>60766966
I honestly think they are all good choices, but I would probably go with the U11 over essential since it will be cheaper and seems like a really solid phone.

Also, waterproofing + additional storage puts it over essential.

>>60768378
Thanks friend.

>>60768385
I just bought it to replace my broken Note 4 and it's honestly a better phone for a third of the price.

The "double-chop to turn on flashlight" gesture seemed like a useless gimmick but I've never used a phone gimmick more than I've found myself using that.

>>60768385
I was looking at this one too... did you have other options in mind that you were comparing this to?

Oukitel K10000 Pro's preorder starts tomorrow. Is it worth getting?

And I can't find any news on the K10000 Max's release date. Anyone know about it?

give me valid reasons not to buy the oneplus3t besides the new one coming out. it's pushing my budget as it is so i can't imagine the new one being cheaper. is there a better phone for the money?

>>60768708
Good to know, i'm actually coming from a Zenfone 5 so it should be one hell of an upgrade, i really need more battery life and a better camera.
>>60769197
Depends a lot on where you live i guess, but here (Brazil) i was thinking of the The Lenovo k6 Plus (i believe it's known as K6 Power else where) and the 5.2" Zenfone 3, K6 has a 4000mAh battery and is really cheap (no Gorilla Glass), Zen3 has rather good camera, they all have similar hardware otherwise, G5 Plus seems to fall somewhere in the middle in terms of camera and battery, so unless something changes i should going for it in the next few days.

>>60769386
OnePlus 3 :^)

Seriosuly though, the OnePlus phones are already very good considering its cost. Any cheaper and you might as well go for a budget phone like the Redmi phones.

They're skipping 4 because it's bad luck in China. It'll be OnePlus 5.

Is there any kind of extended battery case for the G4 Play?

so my sd card was detected as fake using sd insight app, no wonder its getting corrupted once in a while. Any recommended microsd card at least 32gb for redmi note 4 sd625? does it support the uhs-1 and beyond standard and actually take advantage of it speedwise?

>>60770175
I'd recommend Samsung EVO or SanDisk whatever from a trusted retailer. Maybe Mixza sharks if you wanna go the chink route and risk another fake card.

>>60770205
actually have a sandisk one but it was fake, but its my bad that i didnt research enough that these fake ones are rampant here.
I just want a reliable one and fast as a bonus, i noticed that it lags a bit when my videos and music was stored to the ad card. So do most redmi phones like note 4 sd625 support them fancy uhs cards and actually be fast?

>>60770205
sharks are now the same price as domestic sd cards (think bestbuy etc)

>>60770281
Good question, I can't seem to find anything that mentions whether your Note 4 supports UHS-1 or not. It should be in the manual if anything.

I'm RMAing my Nexus 6p and cause Huawei doesn't offer loaner phones for RMAs I need to buy a phone from Amazon or likewise just for the purpose of using for <30 days and returning when the RMA is done

It gotta work on Sprint/be CDMA

I was looking at one of those botnet certified Amazon Prime-exclusive phones like the Moto G4

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I just got a Alcatel One Touch Pixi First and set it up, everything else seems to work fine and when I have headphones in it doesn't have a problem, but without headphones everyone who calls me has noticed it makes a horrible buzzing noise for them. I can hear them just fine but they have difficulty hearing me over this horrible buzzing noise, and I can't hear it.
I still have the warranty on it so I can get it replaced but I'm just wondering if I need to replace it or there's a better solution.

>>60769570
>only a month
lol
Anything you buy from China can take anything between 1 week and 5 months in my experience. You should have expected that.

I'm in need to buy new smartphone to myself because my previous one is destroyed, though the age of it and physically. I'm looking for something little but decent in performance and 16GB ROM. Is there something else than iphone se which my superior tries me to convince about?

I'd go with that if it means having a local warranty too. There isn't a huge difference between 3gb and 4gb RAM

>>60777005
lel if that's true then go for it

t. Normal G5+ buyer

>>60777399
The fact that it's a pretty deprecated device and that it had heating problems. Unlike the similar LG G2, the Nexus 4 had issues with how heat is taken off the CPU. Search for that. Then there's the fact that it's still barely supported by the developer community. If you want to use it with say Google Maps it would probably be pretty slow and clunky. I am not sure about its GPS capabilities. Even so, it's up to you to decide.

>>60777335
But idk. I feel like the storage on both S7 Edge and LG G6 doesn't match my needs, and G6 is overly expensive since I'm not in the US. How about Moto Z?

Need to get a cheap smart phone compatible with US Cellular that i can expect good LineageOS support with. Dont need any particular features; primarily using Conversations and making phone calls. Any recommendations?

Are there smartphones that don't slow down over time and don't require regular maintenance? I'm willing to pay up to $1000 for something quick that works out of the box, and will stay that way for a 3~4 years. Preferably something with a screen SMALLER than 5 inches.

>>60779449
Both the G5 and G5+ have unofficial LineageOS builds available, only a matter of time until they become official builds

So OP5 is all but confirmed to run 1080p, and that could be a deal breaker for me. I haven't had a newer smartphone than my Note 4, but it feels like I'm downgrading picture on a device I've already had for 2 years?

What are the best smartphones right now then? SD 835 is almost a must, because I will be playing a few games on it, and those few games lagging would enrage me. Picture quality, browsing speed and audio quality are very important too.
Money almost isn't, but I haven't decided how much I'm willing to spend.

androidfags from 2011~14ish kept bitching for slightly bigger screens (with samsung being a major enabler) and manufacturers got into a dick measuring contest over it, with even applel joining the fray.
These new phones and their huge screens needed more power, meaning bigger batteries were needed to do the same shit as always.

Hopefully, his insurance will give me back my 350€.

I really liked the form factor of the z5c.
So a 4.6" screen is not a problem (and it doesn't have to be FHD).
Storage was okay, even if I wouldn't mind having 64 GB.

Serious question here. I realize that I have an addiction to sitting by my PC. Like, I spend 100% of my freetime getting back to my PC as fast as I can, and it's the only thing I know aside from my job.

Aside from videogames (though I know there are a few decent phone games), what can a PC do that a smartphone can't, and vice versa?

Yes I'm desperate to find myself an excuse to go outside with a smartphone and do what I do anyway. I probably have autism.

What do you *do* on your computer?

You probably will find you spend hours a week basically idling, waiting for people to respond to your posts, etc

That's time you can reclaim with a hobby. Cycling, hiking, walking, running, going to the gym. Pick one, try it, if it sucks, try another.

when are we getting the iphone 7s?

>>60781660
No money to be made, and even if there was american companies wouldn't let us. We don't make much selling android phones, and we make almost nothing selling ishit, the big bucks in carrier support come from contracts with those companies, we do their dirty work and their advertising for them, and they fight like cats and dogs for it. If we were to do the same for chinese competitors that undercut them so drastically, they'd pull support so fast our asses would fall off, and if the new iphone doesn't work on Verizon we go out of business.

>>60781678
Our unlimited plan was intended to work differently than other companies. ATT throttles you down to 500KBs after a limit, we give you 22 gbs before you can POTENTIALLY see speeds down to 3G minimum, if you were on an overloaded tower, basically priority between prepaid and postpaid. WIth the rebirth of unlimited we started selling our hotspots again, and corporate pushed for selling them as internet replacements. "Hey replace your cable internet bill with a $20 bill for this hotspot! Unlimited data lol!"
After a month they changed the system, and now our hotspot jetpacks have a limit of 10gb, and instead of priority lists it immediately dumps you to 3G speeds. The LOW end of 3G speeds, which can range from 5MBs at the high end to, you guessed it, 0.5 MBs at the low end. You can't even watch youtube on those speeds. We've had tens of thousands of attempted returns, but we pull return eligibility after 14 days. It's bad, but won't sink us. Managed to keep it relatively quiet.

>>60781894
Firstly fuck you for shit taste.
Secondly there will never be 7s, this year is the first time Samsung overtook Apple in numbered devices with the S8. Apple takes marketing pretty seriously, so there's not a chance in hell they'd release a 7s when 7 is less than 8.
Kind of like how the second Xbox was called the 360 instead of Xbox2, because it was compared against the PS3 so 360 sounds better.
A lot of people are saying they're going to call it the 8, but I don't think that's right either. We're all guessing it's going to be called the 10, it will give them some more breathing room from the galaxy, and it's also the 10th anniversary of the iphone so they can play it off that way.

On Verizon. Moto X Pure unlocked.

I'm absolutely sick of this thing due to Nougat STILL not being out. They're saying "the end of June or early July" now, but that was after they pushed it back at least 2 or 3 times the past few months. Fuck Lenovorola.

Is this an isolated incident for them or do they have a track record? Am I right for never wanting to buy a Moto phone again.

Really want to sell it now and get a cheap used (rootable) phone at least for several months, but nothing I'm finding is both cheap (<$300) and fits my needs. Should I just grin & bear it for a little while longer?

>>60783254
One other option is ditching Verizon completely and going with a good chinkphone, which I hear are really good but only available on GSM carriers. It's just that my parents are still paying for my unlimited plan so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's disgusting, but inevitable. It will happen, every company involved with service is chomping at the bit for it, and we're no different. Almost every stockholder meeting has a slice of time devoted to demonstrating how much we (and them) would make from the change, and it's convincing numbers.

>>60784815
>Moto Z Play
Hope you're still in the 14 day return period, Moto Z is an enormous piece of shit. Total, utter scam device. I've troubleshooted more of those than iphone, which is an impressive statistic.

We're a hair over 8 hours SOT and have hit 15% battery. 9 hours should be a given but 10 might be pushing it.

Either way this phone somehow holds enough charge for me to use it two days in a row without charging and at the same time charges crazy fast.

I just got memed into buying a Huawei P9 Lite 2017.

Did I like it, /spg/?

When will the Note 7 R/FE come out?

On my 3rd Nexus 5X replacement due to bootlooping, holy fuck just get me off this ride (at least the replacements were free from Google)

What's a good/official reselling website? Don't really wanna worry about whether or not I'm gonna get screwed over with a phone off Craigslist (stolen or broken or what have you).

I'm thinking just the 6P, or something there about. Needs to be (relatively) cheap, and I'm too used to USB-C + fingerprint scanner to give it up

I oredered a Redmi N4, and after reading and worrying a bit about the bootloader unlocking process, I decided to create a mic account and ask for applying for unlocking request before I even receive the device as I read it takes around 3 days and sometimes requests get lost. They sent me the approval 3 minutes after I sent the request.

>>60790257
The 6P also has bootlooping issues

>>60790291

Are you fucking kidding me? I thought it was a strictly LG issue

Goddammit.

>>60790257
I get tired of getting fucked by lg and those shitty companies. Ended up getting a cheap chink device, flashed an aosp rom, beast battery life, all I really needed.

>>60790361

Yeah that's the route I'm looking at right now. Maybe the Honor 6X? Which phone did you end up going with?

>>60781961
>there's not a chance in hell they'd release a 7s when 7 is less than 8

Holy shit, are normies really this retarded? Sounds like fucking satire.

>>60781610
Did you chase after your job or was it just convenient?

Is there any reason today for people to buy the top of line $800 phones? I mean, it's not like there are any popular phone applications that require the utmost high specs, I guess except maybe VR? My mother just bought a $150 mid/low end phone and she tells me she can't really tell the difference between that and her other work phone which is very high end. For 99% of people I imagine it's the same

What phone should I get? These are my two must have requirements:
>removable, easy to replace battery
>unlockable/unlocked bootloader/root, and a decent aosp ROM available (I use lineageOS right now so any device with lineage is fine).
These are literally my only requirements. I have a nexus 6 right now, which is great, but the battery is getting horribly bad and I can't be bothered to replace it.
I don't really care about performance, or camera, or battery life, as long as they're all usable. 1080p screen preferred, 720p will do, and I don't want or need 1440p or 4k. Also, it needs to work on Australian carriers (Telstra). Budget isn't really a concern, but I don't need a top of the line SOC or camera or amazing display.
I also don't care about screen size. My nexus 6 is definitely the largest I could tolerate, and I can use something as small as a nexus 5x comfortably.

>>60786560
no, to be honest senpai when you get it just root it right away.

>>60791664
The ads can be removed but you cannot unlock the bootloader of the Amazon prime version or root it.

>>60791817
i removed ads by installing Lineage OS on the g4. maybe they got good. they even had a website to unlock the bootloader.

>>60791854
To unlock the bootloader you have to ask for a code on Motorola's website. What happened is that the code was only supposed to be given to the regular, non-Amazon prime version of the phone but by mistake they were giving the code to all versions of the phone. So for a while you could unlock the bootloader even on the Amazon prime version of the G4 (and G4 Play IIRC). But that has been fixed, so currently the bootloader on any of the Amazon Prime versions cannot be unlocked, so root isnt possible either.

However the ads can still be removed as the method for that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader or root.

If I really liked the Pixel, should I wait until the Pixel 2 comes out, or is there a better alternative available now? My phone is a cracked, bent, screen-shattered iPhone 5s, so I'd like to not wait if possible, but I don't want to jump on a new phone right before stuff is launched that drives the price down/makes it obsolete.

Spend a little more and get a Moto G5

>>60794538
Moto G5 Plus

Do I have a good reason to upgrade from my Note 4, really?
I feel like it's "time to", because I've had the same one for 3 years. I use it for anything between 0-10 hours a day, any day. I browse internet and listen to music mostly, sometimes I watch an episode of a series or play a game like Bloons TD5.
Its GPS has stopped working so I can no longer play PoGo which I really enjoyed last year. Both Bloons TD5 (at later waves, 80+, mostly at or after endgame in infinite mode) and PoGo run noticably choppy and laggy, and I remember being jelly of my bro running PoGo with no fps drops or latency anywhere on his iShit 6.

It's just, for what I do with it, does it justify getting something like a OP5 (provided it turns out to be good)? I have a job and no money problems, but I'm still totally jewish when it comes to spending. I'm just trying to actually justify getting a new phone when my old still works okay.

Is the OP5 the phone for me? I am particularly bothered about the camera as i have heard that is where companies try and save loads of money. Also not a massive fan of the blatant apple copy design but i can live with that. I was actually super happy with the LG G4's camera so anything above that would be amazing really.

I was waiting for the Le Pro 3 I bought when I started to research the ROMS. LAst time I touched any ROM was for my Jiayu G3C that it lasted me this 4 years, so I didn't know how the topic was. I'm a little bit overwhelmed about the ROM topic, would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

I believe I have to take an AOKP ROM since they're growing strong and seems cool, but I really have no idea. What would you recommend to me? Thanks in advance, guys.

LineageOS, it's the most popular ROM so it gets the most development

I heard only a little about Linneage, but what I heard the most of that little, is that I maybe lost the calls function. Am I wrong?

Thread about to autosage soon and I gtg.

V20 is great

>>60798108
In my research, the V20 is more multimedia focused phone so it has photo and video going for it over the G6 except for the wide angle camera, thats the only thing the G6 has going for it.
The G6 is better all around besides that.
I'm sort of leaning towards the V20 myself but I want to make sure theres nothing else to consider besides the two.
