I need a phone that I can install Gentoo on.
Any suggestions?

What are the cons of the Redmi Note 4 SD? I am hoping to get one in a few weeks. Also are you using a custom rom? If so which MM rom is the most stable one? Yes MM because having Xposed is a must for me. There's a thread in XDA by some ganesh jizz on LOS13.0 and it's the only one that looks slightly stable. Are there any other ROMS except MIUI that can be used a daily driver?

>No news of Le Pro 3 for $196

>>61039774
Cons
- Not Zuk Z2
- Shit Camera, even shittier if not on Miui
- Underpowered SD625 SOC, can't even play PPSSPP games without lagging
- Below average audio, headphone or speaker
- Not Type-C

The only thing it has for it is that the Redmi Note 4X has a turquoise colored version. Hachane Manko Edition or something.

>>61039801
Dead company.

>>61039826
Stay in the /csg/ thread, ZUK shill

>>61039826
Hmm, Sadly there's no ZUK Z2 available here. Knew the camera would be shittier if I used a custom rom so I am willing to make that sacrifice. But is the SD625 that bad? I thought emulated games leaned towards the GPU side of things and the chip not so much....ehhh fuck it only game I play is Clash Royale. Pretty sure that'll run smoothly.

and also it's not turquoise it's green (At least that's what they call it). The green variant would've looked pretty noice with a black front but the front is fucking white REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>61039472
LG V20. Does anyone here own one? How are you liking it? What are you doing with it?

>>61039896

Buy it from China, don't be a pleb.

RN4P is buggy AF. the custom roms are even worse - half baked pajeet tier trash.
Avoid it alltogether.

I have one and all bootlooping memes are just that. Memes. Only the G4/V10 had those issues. I've had the V20 for a while now with no issues except for a few app incompatibilities. Growing pains of being on Android 7.0 early I'm sure. Anyhow

*including the S8

Not sure how relevant this is, but is anybody here familiar with signal boosters at all? I'm gonna be living in a place that gets no signal (nearest cell tower is about 6.5km away), and wanted a booster so I can still get calls. Do they work well? Do I need a signal for it to work? I can just barely get a signal in some areas around our property.

>>61040128
Many thanks, my friend.

In my country I can get one brand new for the equivalent of 370USD, with the B&O Play DAC. Hope to get one in the coming month/s.

>>61040136
I think you do need a bit of a signal for it to work. We use a booster during deer hunting to get a signal in the trailer. We wire it to an antenna on the roof of the trailer. It's a bit busted and you need your phone basically right on top of the booster, but then it works great. I think a proper one should give signal to a whole room. Lastly, signal boosters are incredibly expensive.

>>61040220
There's one I found that's like 300 bucks and seems to get good reviews. The problem is there's so little info regarding the things online as far as I can see. We have one at our current place that seems to work well but it was like a grand I think.

Why? Still one of the best phones right now.

Moto G4 plus or G5 normal ?

don't really care about features, but whats the ideal setup for security/privacy in terms of device, operating system, carrier (US), etc?

>>61039826

SD625 is delicious. How can you hate that tasty efficiency and, as a result, battery life?

>>61040493
>don't really care about features, but whats the ideal setup for security/privacy in terms of device, operating system, carrier (US), etc?
i will add that good battery life is preferred, along with removable / replaceable battery. 3.5mm headphone jack would also be preferred

>>61040493
>device

Looking to put a custom rom on the Redmi Note 4 - is there any someone here can recommend?

Sup

I have a question

Should I go for the Mi Max 2 or just the Mi Max?

I can get the Mi Max for almost $100 less

>>61040740

In the same boat.

On XDA looks like either Resurrection Remix or AOSP extended is the way to go - but can anyone weigh in on this?

>>61039461
So the OnePlus 5 is dead on arrival right?

>>61040809
Yeah AOSP looks like the way to go, seems like a good bit of stuff breaking in RR.

What's better out of AMOLED or LCD?

>>61040630
> >How do (no carrier)?
> Signal.
can someone explain what this means please?

>>61040773
Mi Max 2, it's worth the difference (check techtablets review). Also it's available for $268 from Gearbest so the difference to the 3/32 Mi Max is $70 (and you get 4/64 with the Mi Max 2)

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi-max-2

>>61041080
No carrier is best carrier, it's better to check the carriers' coverage in your area.

>>61041243
Getting it in my country

Anyways I decided to get the Mi Max 2.

if you put a larger than supposedly supported MicroSD card, will it work? If I put a 128GB microSD card on a Galaxy S4, which is said to support up to 64GB only, will it work?

>>61041274
Yes, should work without formatting. If it doesn't, format to FAT32.

>>61041247
Thanks but what is meant by "no carrier"?
Meaning, an unlocked phone? And/or a prepaid plan?
What is meant by Signal? Just determining choice based on which carrier provides best signal in my area?
I live in major metro in US, top carriers all have plenty of coverage so that isn't an issue.
Thanks in advance anons

>>61041321
Alright thanks, also another question, if you want a budget phone, is it better to buy a very recent budget model or buy and outdated but that was a high end model of years ago?

>>61040076
Shamless bump. Anyone have info?

>>61039897
Had one since day 1 (was in a hurry to get something usable after being forced out of the Note 7) and never had any problems.

Well, not quite true. I had one instance where the power button wasn't being recognized. I don't know what I did to fix it, because what I did was get frustrated and come back to it 3 minutes later and it worked.

Other than that one time, I haven't had any trouble with it. Might still jump ship around the end of the year to something else, if I find anything tasty, but that's because I got that new tech itch again.

>>61041336
Are you fucking retarded? Is the guy that made it so obscure-sounding retarded? He means unlocked. Buy an unlocked phone, put your SIM in it. Of course he didn't mean no carrier whatsoever, why the fuck would he mean that?
You fucking idiot. You couldn't deduce that he meant "unlocked". Who would use a smartphone without a SIM in it? Jesus fucking Christ.

>>61041393
Awesome. I'll take that as being a one-off, then. I guess taking the battery out and back in would also work, so no sweat.

Honestly so looking forward to this phone. My Huawei P9 screen doesn't recognize touch sometimes and at other times it'll lock up completely. Suppose thats what you get for going with a Chinese brand.

>>61040910
AMOLED almost always.

LCD has a thousand little tiny frustrations, but hey. You get... well, the color repro is worse on most recent LCD panels, actually. And of course the blacks are worse. And the battery use isn't any better... so...

>>61041373
>>61040076
It's actually as good as it looks like. Main con would be the average camera, but other than that it doesn't really have any weaknesses.

>>61041394
Why not say unlocked like a normal person? Why randomly say "signal" to further confuse things?

Is the p10 lite worth ?

Atm i'm using a cucked windows phone (yeah I know), i'm only looking for shit and giggles. cute photos and some other normie things

>>61041570
Get a Honor 8 or Moto G5 Plus. Both are better for the same price / slightly more

>>61041522
Hey look buddy, it wasn't me that said "signal". Go yourself, pal.

So I need a phone for about 400$ what I need from it is a decent storage (64gb minimum), removable battery and sd card slot are preferred but not deal breakers, decent camera, closest to stock android possible, good amount of ram (4gb or more). I am currently looking at the axon 7

>>61041924
Also 5.5 inch display

>>61041924
LG G5 or V20 has the removable battery

Is there any significant difference between redmeme note 4 and note 4x?

>>61042851
>redmeme note 4
I assume you mean the SD625 version, in which case the only difference is in the network bands (Note 4 Global is the only version with band 4 and 20 LTE)

my phone is about to die and I'd like to get a new one
>5" maximum (if has a bigger screen but no bezels it's allright also)
>good battery

It's all I ask, am I asking too much?

If there was no alternative to bigger screens, what would be a good 5.5" with good battery and camera?
Thanks lads

>>61043109
Moto G5 Plus

I don't get how reviewers can claim that OP5 is the most price worthy phone when S8 is only slightly more expensive.

>>61043109
Redmi 4 Prime or Redmi 4X

The Moto G4 Play only comes with 1 GB RAM in the UK so is it still worth it or should I just get a Moto E/C instead considering they are about 25% cheaper?

>>61043426
Not worth it, 2gb is the bare minimum for android in 2017.

>>61043109
Carrier and Country?
For 5-5.2 in Your options are the Pixel, HTC 10, Huawei P10, Huawei Honor 8, Moto G5, Sony Xperia Variants.

>>61041448
>>61040076

So my circumstances changed and I can afford a Samsung galaxy s8. Is it worth it? Or can I get something better for that price. The only other smart phone I had was the sony z3 compact and I was very happy with it. So I do not have experience with any other models

Does the US Honor 8 have Chinese botnets too?

>>61039461

Yotaphone

My phone broke. Is there any way I can read whatsapp messages (note: i didnt set up whatsapp web) ?

>>61043646
It'll be a downgrade in terms of audio capabilities (no front facing stereo speakers or HiFi DAC) and software (Axon has near stock android, S8 has Touchwiz) but a upgrade otherwise (better cameras, display, performance, battery life + it has water resistance)

>>61043667
No

>>61043675
>Alternative OS
Why?

>>61043718
Do you have access to the phone storage? Your conversations are in the /WhatsApp/databases folder. If you had cloud backup on they're also in Google Drive.

>>61043777
Cool. Tanks for the breakdown

>>61040301
xz premium? get one from other country. I'm planning on doing that

>>61043815
>Do you have access to the phone storage? Your conversations are in the /WhatsApp/databases folder. If you had cloud backup on they're also in Google Drive.

I have to look. The display is broken, but I can turn power on. I want to read new messages on. Cant I use an android emulator and log into whatsapp, is this even possible?

>>61043882
You don't have access to a backup phone? WhatsApp needs to verify your number with a SMS, so an emulator wont work.

Thinking of buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X
Good/bad idea?

Mostly, I want good battery life.

>>61044034
You'll most likely want the Redmi Note 4 Global for the extra bands

>>61043777
If I am looking to use the phone in south africa. should I get the
Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F or

>>61044101
F is the Global version, U is US, so get the F.

>>61044358
Does the fact that the chips are different matter?

Anyone else sometimes on their desktop, websurfing, then get the idea to a website, instead of opening a tab...

You grab your phone and go to the website there...

Why the fuck do I do this? Is it the pixel density? My very slight near sightedness?

Help

Will anyone explain to be why eBay sellers sell S8 so much more cheaper than anywhere else? We're talking brand new unopened devices. In my case a S8+ would be at least 200 euro cheaper than what it would go for at retail price in my home country.

There's gotta be a catch, right? Here's an example
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Plus-64GB-Midnight-Black-Orchid-Grey-Arctic-Silber-Neu-/132165329931?var=&epid=721241391&hash=item1ec5aae40b%3Am%3Amyyui1RMrOr_UT6FktUfxXw&_trkparms=pageci%253Ac4f16467-5833-11e7-8766-74dbd180efd9%257Cparentrq%253Ad5dac33215c0ab4df650a002ffff08e2%257Ciid%253A1

>>61044481
For me it's the opposite. Even if I have my phone in my hand I gladly go out of my to get to my desktop to look something up.

>>61044434
Exynos is better than Snapdragon

>>61044623

>>61044536
1. Do they offer proper 2yr warranty?
2. Does the price include VAT?

>>61044615
I wish I did that, desktop is better for obvious reasons

so I just got my op5 I know it's not popular with you guys but anyway whenever I scroll it almost behaves like jelly, is this an Android thing in general or just the OnePlus 5?

If I buy an S8 will it explode at kill me like an Note 7 would?

I'm actually in France. I'm not well knowledgeable on phone related terms but is carrier related to 4G/LTE, mobile data in general ?
My budget I can probably afford 300€ at most, I can use personal savings (~150€) to raise up the price as I'm not the one purchasing.

Ideal wanted features would be a phone powerful enough to last 3 years without feeling left up in terms of speed/performance or custom rom support, microSD slot, good battery life given that I'm fed up of my 3h30 screen on time. I don't care about photo or audio. Also a good storage capability since i'll be torrenting on it as well

Sorry if my post was misorganised somehow I'm not so good with english

>>61045620
The regular Z has no headphone jack and shit battery life (only 2600mah with a 1440p display). The Z Play is a much better deal.

>>61045670
Oh yeah I forgot i said i did'nt care about audio but at least a jack "hole" for normal earphones

>>61045635
Very likely not. Most companies only honor the warranty in the country the phone was bought it.

>>61045635
IDK, does warranty cover stolen phones?

So I want to get a Redmi Note 4 but I don't want to be chinked by customs duty. Is it best to just buy this shit from Ebay to avoid this.

Note 8 better come out in august. I can't wait much longer, my phone feels like it's gonna die any day now..

>>61045670
Either the Moto G5 Plus or the Moto X4 when it comes out on June 30th. Search for them at your carrier.

>>61045715
>>61045725
I was just wondering. I have insurance for my personal belongings over a certain market value, however it would've been nice if I could have benefited from local support. Such as I know a friend who got a s7 and with the deal he got 2 free screen repairs from the local samsung shop. I was hoping I could get something like that because its a new phone.

>>61045670
Check out Moto G5 Plus, should be around 300€ for the 3GB RAM version. Another phone to consider is the Honor 8, should be available for around 300-360€.

Here's an excellent deal on Moto Z Play, it's the German Amazon but afaik they ship to other countries too

-Removable battery (Second verse, same as the first)
-Flat screen panel, none of these 2.5D or curved screen memes
-OIS camera

Everything I've seen is missing at least two of the things I require. Can anyone recommend me a phone that comes close to covering all the things I've listed above?

Also, I'm in Canada. Doesn't matter what carrier, I'll switch to what may work best.

I've been using a Moto G5 Plus (4GB/64GB) for about a week now and I really like it. I switched from a Moto X Pure that was giving me trouble and I thought that there might not be too noticable of an improvement in smoothness but it's like night and day. Those two extra cores and extra gig of RAM do make all the difference, especially when the hardware only has to push content to a 1080p screen vs 1440p. I don't really notice the drop in pixel density either, and the Moto G5 has a more saturated look which I prefer to the flat look of the X Pure. The X Pure had a brighter screen, though.

I do wish that the thing wasn't so slippery. I don't want to put it in a case but I've already had it slip out of my grip while taking it out of my pocket. Luckily it just fell back into the pocket, but I'm having to be a lot more careful than I was with the X.

If anybody has questions about the G5 or app compatibility, AMA.

Just tell me what to do (not kys)...

I broke my LG G3 a few weeks ago and had to switch back to an even older Motorola Droid Razr M that is a piece of shit. I am on Verizon post pay.

I am currently destitute-homosex and I guess getting another phone at Verizon means buying one straight up (expensive) or paying a monthly fee in addition to my bill.

So, please, recommend a budget phone under $150 (even hovering around $100) that works in the USA and the provider that it works with. I am even interested in checking out an MVNO, if necessary, then if that's bullshit, switching to the proper carrier.

pls halp

On MetroPCS you can get a ZTE Zmax Pro for $99

>>61039461

any of you have any negatives on the new sony xz premium?

From the videos ive seen, despite being 4k it doesn't look any better than pretty much any amoled screen.

I have an Asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) how long should I expect it to be on the charger before it turns on? It's been charging for about an hour and a half.

>>61050696

once you start charging you should be able to turn it on pretty much right away.

Maybe give it a minute or two to get enough juice to boot.

If it isn't turning on it sounds fuxed, try starting it in recovery

oneplus 5 now or reduced cost of iphone 7 in september?

It's been almost a year since Nougat was released and most apps are still incompatible with it, shit, I don't even use that many.

jesus not that i'd use it often but the speaker of the 1+5 is actually fucking awful compared to my 1+1

>>61050883

The only person I know who uses the speaker on his smartphone is my mate. Listening to dance music on youtube etc, its so annoying and shitty I can't stand it.

The only real common usage probably ought to be sharing a funny clip with 1 or more people. Not enduring shitty tinny yuck.

>>61050824
I can't boot into recovery mode holding the power button and volume up buttons at the same time is it dead then?

>>61049690
I agree it's slippery so I just bought a case. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Just get a case it's already an ugly phone

>>61050938
i'd use my 1+1 during showers often because it would actually sound quite listenable in my bathroom, the 1+5 however is a complete shitshow

>>61050653

>4k ips(+ or w/e the latest enhanced lcd is called) vs
>QHD amoled.

The rest of the specs are the same or lean slightly in the Sony's favour.

As for the displays, I'd say they're about even. Whatever you'd be lacking in the Sony should be made up for in resolution and battery life.

If you're considering it for VR I'm not so sure. There is something about the pixel gaps, even on hi-res displays, I forget if amoled is better or worse.

>>61050940

Possibly.

The alternative would be to let it charge for a full hour, see if the battery calibrates/unfucks itself

Then do the rocker/power-on button thing

>>61051062
So just play the waiting game letting it charge overnight and if it fails to work in the morning even trying to boot into recovery then my best bet is to return it?

Hey if i get a samsung s8 plus will i be able to emulate gamecube games with it?

S8 is literally $425 right now.

iPhone 8 will cost like $800 at least so it ain't worth it.

Maybe next year.

>>61051114

If it isn't done in an hour, I don't see leaving it all night making any difference.

I had a similar issue with an ipad air 2, usually when they were left in and not turning on they had to charge for quite a while before you could turn it on.

But in one case, I let it charge for a weekend and came into work on monday and it was still fucked. So yea, if it isn't working after and hour send it back.

>>61051163
are you some viral marketing guy? it's only that price if you trade in an s7 or something that would get you more money if you sold it yourself.

>>61050881
wtf are you on about, I haven't ran into a single app that wouldn't run on Nougat yet.

>>61049690
How is the battery life when viewing videos?

>>61051195

Nah you can trade in any POS iOS or Android phone for $200. ALso they discount $100 so that's a total cost of $425.

>>61051195
Alright well shit I'll start the RMA on it tomorrow shame too I like the way it looks and the hardware on it.

>>61051247

It's a good deal, but I still don't like calling it $425.

Plus, looks like it's US only. ROW getting fucked again.

I have a 250 pound budget and can get a Sony Xperia XA1 for 200. I don't want a new MotoG because I hate how it looks. Camera is important.

Any alternatives?
Is Mediakek that bad?

>>61051613
>Mediakek
yes if you care about battery life

>>61051613

The only real issue with Mediatek was that they tended to be power hungry, now they're much more optimised.

They were more power hungry because they tended to have more cores, which also meant more heat. Now most SoC's are running some form of octa setup so it's all much of a muchness.

The important thing to look at now is the full SoC. So you'd look at Mali vs Adreno or w/e.

Snapdragons(with their own Adreno) are usually better for battery's, but they have thier stinkers too.

Market has been ballwashing Qualcomm for so long and Mediatek were content with mid-range and budget that it's easy to dismiss them.

tldr; it's fine.

Who here uses a custom ROM that isn't Lineage/CM? What's it do that draws you to it over those two?

Just asking because Lineage is so ubiquitous that other ROMs get nearly no mention.

Best Android phone under $100. I'm an angry toddler giant and I smashed my phone today in frustration.

>>61051791
>Just asking because Lineage is so ubiquitous that other ROMs get nearly no mention.
Because smaller roms are just some pajeet roms which are really bad.

any good ways of geting the iphone 7 without paying upfront for it? (ie reputable refurbished sellers, etc)

>>61051769

xiami redmi seems to be popular. Some deals on the HTC m9

Would you consider a Lenovo P2? Very good battery on a 1080p super amoled for hopefully under £200.

>>61050696
Update on the asus zenfone 2 the phone will vibrate like it is entering recovery mode however, the screen will not show me anything. I opened the back and reconnected the battery cables and waited about 30 minutes before trying recovery mode.

>>61052041
Good shout, its a carrier exclusive in the UK atm and I can't figure out if they put their bloat on it or if its SIM locked, because its currently out of stock

Hopefully they get a shipment in this weekend and a rep will talk to me

>>61052041
HTC M9 is still out of budget, unless I go used

Can't wait for shipping of a Xiaomi

>>61052256

>Huawei P9 lite
>Honor 6x
>Moto G4

Should all be sub <£250 and, while not great, should be perfectly adequate.

I'd be inclined to push for the Lenovo P2 though, or if you absolutely need a phone right now, go to Tesco's tommorow and pick something up for under 70, it'll do the job.

>>61052391
Reasons not to go Sony?

I won't get another Motorola, I've looked at that design for 3.5 years and each redesign they just make it look less clean

>>61052443

By incompatible I meant that they have issues of some sorts.
>clover crashes when trying to open a webm
>mx player wont jump to the next/prev file when opened using solid explorer
>quickpic crashes not long after being opened
These are all dealbreakers for me.

Why aren't LeEco phones ever brought up? They look like awesome phones (for the price) on paper. The LeEco Le S3 has 4K recording, a 5.5" FHD screen and a fingerprint reader. It's on sale for $149.

it's up to samsung to pay UP TO $200 for a used phone. You can't just send a $30 hooptie from 2010 and get the full $200 discount

Is the 5s still good?

Google has removed the 5x and the 6P from its site, and my 5x is going on ~1.7 years, so it's time to upgrade. Since I'm on Google Fi, this means my only option is the Pixel, which I do not want. Is it time to switch carriers or just suck it up and get the Pixel? I've heard some people say the Moto G5 Plus is a solid alternative, but it will only use the T-mobile part of Fi's service, plus some other funky things.

Android purist here
Got stuck with a secondhand GNote 3 when my wife rekt my Nexus 6 (RIP), and a Marshmallow TouchWiz ROM was the only stable thing I could find. It's not nearly as horrific as I imagined. Gonna try a Galaxy S8 come upgrade time next month, but if I don't like it, I'll sell it off. If that happens, what should I get? Leaning toward Moto Z2 Force, but the OnePlus 5 seems pretty OK.

>>61054043
Wait for the Pixel 2 my dude
Taimen is literally in the AOSP commits for O already
Try a Droid Turbo 2/Moto X Force. Can be had for around 150, tough as nails, 810/3GB/32GB/SD, and has a Lineage port. The X Force comes unlocked, and the DT2 is unlocked for most GSM carriers, but has somewhat limited band support.

>>61054210

>>61052443
Overpriced is pretty much it. Great designs, great hardware and software, and most are rootable/ROMable if you're into that sort of thing. The cameras are also close to top-notch.

>>61051613
Depending on where you are, the 2nd gen Moto E with LTE can be found under $50, and is pretty good for what it is. Too low-res for VR, but the 410 will chew through most normie tasks with no issue.

>>61051150
Search YouTube before posting. The answer is yes.

What is the phone I was destined to own? Rolling the universal fate dice here...

Hey guys my trusty ol' Moto just gave up and now i'm looking for a good mid range phone, budget is 300-400 but can be flexible if needed
Some priorities are: good camera, long lasting battery life and overall good performance. Optionals are: expandable storage and fingerprint sensor thingy

but I don't know, I don't really like any of the newer phones
I hate the "almost bezeless" design of like the new samsung and lg, I want to either have a bezel or no bezel at all

guess I should wait a few years

>ALL electronics devices are outdated the moment they're released.

Fixed that for you. Of course, because of community support some devices can last for many years past the roughly 18-24 months that most smartphone makers allow for the "lifespan" of their devices.

I have a Note 4 running Android 7.1.2 Nougat and it runs this OS better than it ever ran the stock OS and it's literally a different device because of that community support behind it, it's basically 3 years old now and still rocks as an awesome device.

I've been thinking about getting a Blackberry Passport, but the future of the bb10 os is looking very dim indeed.

I want a good work phone, the screen is perfect for emails and spreadsheets. But if I can't login to my banking app, social media apps, or login to remote desktop, what's the point?

Is anyone using one of these? I'd like to know if it's worth the risk.

So I got a phone with SD615 and it overheats like a mofo.
Webbrowsing is around 40-45C
Youtube is around 50-55C
Camera and Games are around 55-65C

What phone has a decent CPU but doesn't freaking heat up like an oven?

>>61056141

BB10 OS is dead, and I say that as a loyal Z10 owner for many years now and still love it even in spite of a few shortcomings. The KEYone is what you should be looking at if you to remain using some of the BlackBerry ecosphere of apps and support, if you don't give a fuck about a physical keyboard then one of the two DTEK models would be other options.

"BB10 is dead... long live BB10."

>>61056168
Thanks Anon. I'll pass on the KEYone, it's the 1:1 aspect screen (and the QWERTY keyboard to some extent) that had me interested about the Passport.

I mostly use my phone for workflow, and if they go customizable route (micro SD support, removable battery) it might mesh really well with my job and home life. Continuum looks neat, but I won't hold my breath. What I'm really more interested in is how Win10S /might/ finally make apps less relevant, which would be fucking awesome, I'm tired of housing a bunch of proprietary shit on my internal storage.

My Nexus 7 (2012) can barely hold a charge and I need a replacement.

What is the consensus on HTC phones here?

Had a desire HD for years and moved to a M8. Also had a tytn 2 and a HD2 back in the day. Loved em all and the M8 is lightning fast.

They have had some appaling midrange phones but never a bad flagship as far as I know. I tend to buy old flagship models 3-4 years down the line.

Their phones don't seem to get discussed here much

Their budget / midrange phones are mostly shit, and overpriced for the specs they have.

The flagships are much better. They don't necessarily have cutting edge technology like Samsung has but the software experience is much better, as HTC's skin is closer to stock, lighter and with less bloat.

HTC One M7 and M8 were great phones, M9 was a bit shit, mainly thanks to how terrible the SD810 SoC was. HTC 10 was probably the most underrated phone of last year, and now the HTC U11 is also being reviewed very highly with people saying it's their best phone in years. /g/'s reaction seems mainly to be "lol no headphone jack" but if you can look past that I honestly think it's one of the best phones to come out so far this year.

I personally wouldn't touch the thing.. get the Pixel/Pixel 2 if you can wait.

Anything better than the redmi note 4 for under $200?

Watch Samshit S8 get absolutely BTFO by OP5 and HTC U11

Do you guys like to use cases or have your phones go au naturel

>>61058705
Is the HTC10 still a good buy in 2017?

>>61059108

I'm in the UK what phone do I get? I still have a iPhone 4 because I can't decide on a new phone. I was close to being a one plus 3T but I'm not sure if it is out of date. Please help me buy a phone I research so much that I end up getting nothing.

Lenovo P2, it's £200 from Three, no SIM lock or carrier bloat

>>61059332

The only way to get a 3T now is from O2 on contract or paying more than it's worth in full. Or getting lucky on Amazon or something.

Get a Sony XZ Premium and be more unique than plebs with their Samsungs.

I have a budget of roughly 500€.

Every phone on the market right now has some sort of feature (or lack of) that is deal breaking for me.

Is there any possible new phone that will come out in the very near future that is worth waiting for?

>>61059470

The 5T should be out in 6 months.

Seriously though, you'll be playing the waiting game indefinitely if you work that way. Especially since there is nothing on the horizon actually worth waiting on.

U11, Essential, or Xperia Premium for Verizon?

>>61059470
Honor 9, Moto X4, Axon 8, Nokia 7/8/9

>>61059505
U11 or Essential

>>61059505

I don't know anon: every time I see a new product there is always that something that sets me off:
>Galaxy S8
>curved screen, bloated android, bad durability (glass not protected by the frame)
>LG G6
Old processor, dual camera with wide angle instead of zoom, bad durability (glass not protected by the frame)
>OP5
1080p PenTile AMOLED, unstabilized cameras, no IP68, no SD card slot
>Everything that doesn't have a 3,5mm jack

Fuck, I know I'm picky, but it's my precious neetbux and I don't want to waste them on a half ass product.

When will the X4 be released?

Any honor 5x owners out there? How is it? Do you like the virtual buttons?
The thing keeping me from buying this is the blank chin and virtual buttons on top. Seems fucking retarded honestly. What a waste of space, they could've put haptic buttons on the chin and gave more screen space.

Also generally looking for a 4.7 inch phone. Requirements
>Metal - no metallic plastic
>No shitware unless removable
>High pixel density
>3gb memory preferred but 2gb ok
>$200
Really I want to pay $100. Will go as big as 5" but no larger.
Bonus for fingerprint reader.

>>61059529
Isn't the XZP better though?

>>61058411
Anyone?
