Is the LG G5 worth it at $260?

https://www.banggood.com/Lenovo-P2-5_5-inch-4GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Snapdragon-625-Octa-core-4G-Smartphone-p-1161448.html

Is there any other differences to Lenovo P2 global model than missing b20 and custom rom? Can you install official European ROM to this and get Android 7.0?

>>61075711
that's good news. i'm seriously awaiting for my galaxy s8+, i hope it ships soon. fuck, it's so boring without my smartphone although i have my laptop

>>61075976
Hopefully it arrives early on tuesday.

When Qualcomm is going for 7nm? Is the 10nm sd 6xx processor much more power efficient that 625?

>>61075998
yeah the location it ships from shouldn't be too far from me.

asking this again here
will i get scammed if i buy from chink shit sites like tinydeal?

>>61076045
Yes, you should use reliable sellers from aliexpress for example.

Will the Xperia XZ line work with Verizon? It has all the required band support and I don't live in east bumblefuck

>>61075873
should i get a xz premium?
>waterproof
>great camera
>battery that last a whole day
>4k display
>dual sim stand by
>shiny back
only problem is the size. so should i get xzs instead?

Recently got a Huawei Y6 II to replace my Moto E2, my first time with a 5'5 screen, still haven't figured out if it's actually better to have a screen this big since I don't play games, but I'll get used to it unless it breaks in a couple of weeks (doesn't feel too solid)
Removed most of the stock apps but battery life has actually gotten worse, does Huawei/emui have a battery saving app that actually works and I got rid of it?
Also, I really miss the active display on the E2, is there some way of getting something like that on this phone?
Thanks /g/

What's a normal, free software file manager I can use?
I remember using the CM default one, but I can't find it on F Droid any more. Does anyone remember its name?

>>61076045
A friend of mine ordered at tinydeal. Got his phone, everything alright but if something breaks it horrible. He sent it in. Besides long shipping times like with every chink shit he had to pay a handling fee and they say it can't be repaired and offered him some crap phones or 30% of the original price. Just don't buy there.

>>61076205
Mixplorer.

its been so long since i got a new phone so wtf do i do with the settings and shit to install?

i already added my email and now i dont know what else to do lmaoo

Can anyone recommend me a phone which has:
> a new Android, Nougat or Marshmallow
> dual sim
> max 5" screen
> good battery, which would last a day of normal use
> either at least 32 GB of storage or microSD slot
> custom ROMs as a plus too

I mostly would use it to listen to music, browse the internet and Messenger. I live in Denmark, I'm in Lebara. I'm willing to spend up to $500, but I think it's possible to get something much cheaper.

Why is note 8 so much more expensive than the s8 when there's hardly any difference?

Same cpu, slightly more ram, no change in screen resolution...

My dad needs a new Android phone, but hates touchscreen keyboards, is the BlackBerry Priv the only affordable option, if yes, is it worth it?

>>61076241

Thanks, I guess this works.
But I couldn't find information about its license.

>>61076396
Although I like the design and that it has physical keyboard, it's missing dual sim which is a must have feature for me.

>>61076400
I would prefer a smaller screen, right now I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini which has 4.3" display. Also, XZs is too expensive.

>>61076449
Be a good son and teach him how to use touchscreen keyboards, you retard.

>>61076606
>teach him how to use touchscreen keyboards
Not him but I also hate touchscreens just because they're so much slower to use. You can't properly touch-type since you can't actually feel the individual keys. It's really bad.

>>61076716
How so? I type at ~140wpm on a regular keyboard, it's really frustrating having to use a touchscreen.

>>61076781
A regular keyboard has you use all fingers. A blackberry keyboard will only use your thumbs, it'll never be faster than swiping on a touchscreen.

Is anyone of you Honor 8 pro owner? Does it heat up much when you look at videos/play games for some time?

Anyone using the Nougat beta on their Redmeme? How is it?

>>61077180
Specs wise? Definitely Moto G5.

>>61077068
It's not beta on many redmemes. It's extremely stable on the Redmi 3 Pro.

Is there any good glass for redmeme 4?
Or is it impossible due to 2.5 D?
Couldn't the glas be curved too?

>>61076948
Doesn't it have both? It just has a keypad too, you can still swipe around.

Is there any other differences to Lenovo P2 global and chinese model than missing b20 and custom rom? Can you install official European ROM to this and get Android 7.0?

You're right. But let's be real though, you're not getting an overpriced phone because of the physical keyboard to just not use it (By swiping on it)

Hi what is the best phone between the MI5, MI5c and MI5s ? is the MI5c better than the MI5?

>>61077491
The Mi5c is garbage. It was Xiaomi testing their own SoC.

Regarding the 5s and 5:
The 5s is more powerful and has an aluminium back over the 5's plastic and glass.
It doesn't have the IR blaster or OIS.

>>61077480
Well I don't know what I'm getting, but I really want one with a physical keyboard because I type a lot on my phone and it's definitely much faster for me. I don't really care about anything other than that part.

>>61077528
It's not faster if you just end up swiping on it, which you can already do on any other phone.

>>61077545
What do you mean? How would I "swipe" when typing?

Is redmi note 4's GPS any good?

Conversely cheapest phone with good battery life and good GPS.

>>61077569
Because >>61077395

>>61077609
No. Expect the GPS to take a few minutes to track your position.

Other than this initial phase, I've had no issues on my Xiaomi phones.

>>61077638
...But you don't "swipe" while typing. You type. You hit keys. Keys are easier and much faster to hit if you can physically feel them.

Is the Alcatel A30 worth it for the dirt cheap 60$ price tag?

You can swipe type on phones these days. Basically you just slide your fingers around on the keyboard. I could never figure that shit out though so I just type normally

Just wait for phones launching later this year

I started looking for a new phone in April and decided to wait 3 months to see what would come out and it's all shit. I don't want to wait another 3 months.

>>61078133

>>61078133
galaxy s8+.

after seeing the new pixel xl specifications, i'm so glad I bought a galaxy s8+ without waiting.

What is the cheapest phone with good battery life and good GPS.
Nothing else matters (maybe the reliability, don't want it to fall apart within 2 days).

>>61078162
lenovo is pretty shit but i'll check it out
>>61078191
I like to use my phones for 4+ years, are there really no good ones out now? the only solution is waiting?
>>61078255
my friend has one and while it does look very nice, I prefer the bezel look

Should I purchase the OnePlus 5 or the Huawei P10? Does the P10 have access to the latest android version?

Huawei does have a better service, but the Oneplus is cheaper with slightly better specs.

>>61078340
>are there really no good ones out now?
I think you're just being too picky

>>61075873
whats the phone on the right?

>>61078371
Nexus 6P

>>61076349
Mi5 or Mi5S
5.15" screen (check their body size, is pretty good)
decent battery
has lineageOS support
MIUI 8 on Nougat, it will get the new MIUI 9 (TBA) and probably Oreo if Qualcomm doesn't fuck things up for Xiaomi
64GB
Dual nano sim
Just check their bands tho
Camera is pretty nice.

>>61078362
Both are on the latest android version. If you care about having stock android or custom ROMs get the OP5, otherwise the P10 is mostly better.

>>61078366
I already dropped most of my requirements in the last six months since there are no phones with sd slots and removable batteries, ones that aren't xboxhueg, etc.

I have to believe a decent phone is out there, it just has to be found

>>61077525
>The 5s is more powerful
>SD821 over SD820.
They're virtually the same shit, m8
don't be a fag

Just dumped my iPhone 7+ in favor of a galaxy s7 edge last week, I have a decent hang of android now but what are some things I should start doing with it?

This is my first experience with any smart phone other than an iPhone or blackberry way back in the day.

Only thing I've changed is the launcher because fuck touchwiz.

Why did you leave the iPhone?

What do you miss so far?

>>61076349
Even a Redmi 4A fits your bill

>>61078032
If your budget is 550 then the 8gb op5 is the best you'll get imo, without giving up some other phone for samsung's trade-in.

>>61078686

Well I mean I still have the iPhone, not like I can't just throw my sim in there and just start using again if I really wanted to. That being said I wanted to see what android was all about while still having a comparable phone but also not breaking the bank. (The iPhone was $1000 unlocked and I wasn't looking to repeat that just to try something else out) fortunately the S8 just dropped and the s7 edge was much less because of that.

The only things I really miss so far is the ability to send large video files via imessage and the ability to unlock my computer with my Apple watch. The latter I knew was going to happen but the video message shit does irk me. I think part of the reason I went to the s7 edge as well was because I recently purchased a gear s3 frontier and it was incredibly gimped on iPhone but even then it still did way more than my Apple watch ever did and that got gears really turning in my head about how much better android as a whole might be. (Yes I know the s3 doesn't run android wear)

194KB, 1021x603px

Not a purchasing question but it's related to smartphones so here goes:

I bought some long unofficial phone charging cables (so I can use phone comfortably in bed while it's charging). But the phone has started restarting randomly when I'm using it while charging using these cables (still using my original phone charger plug, so the cable is the only variable). Simply charging it with these cables but NOT using it at the same time seems to be ok. Also when I switch back to my original short cable, it doesn't happen even when using while charging.

My question is what exactly about the new cables is causing this to occur? I'm guessing something to do with power but I can't into physics/electricity so I don't know what all the units and numbers and stuff mean. I would like to try another brand of long cables (for the convenience), so if there's something specific to look out for, I can do that before buying.

I would say plastic oled screen + optionally a pack of thin screen protectors desu. It's lighter and there's no chance of it ever shattering so you can finally handle your phone like a worthless piece of shit like you could back when we still used dumbphones.

>>61079827
G4, how is this a question?

>>61079827
neither

What's the biggest phone on the market right now? Just curious.

>>61079841
Does oled have better colors than ips?

>>61079925
Yes, but burn-in is a real thing

>>61079740
I've never heard of this brand. Is it compatible with at&t and can it be shipped to the US? Also what about cases?

>>61079899
You can get 7-8" tablets that take a SIM card and allow you to make phone calls etc.

>>61079960
Don't know about cases, check AliExpress about that, but if you look on the site, the 4G bands are displayed, it picks up AT&T

Anyone with a Moto G4 Play know of good spare batteries to get for it?

Looks like the only viable option is to get off-brand ones off Amazon, which I've done with other phones to good results, but I don't know what to go with.

>>61079925
>>61079945
I was mostly saying oled because it's slightly lighter, thinmer and I think less fragile. and it can use less power if you're willing to put up with black themes.

durability in terms of burn in and just lower brightness/coloaccuracy over time is a concern though.

Looks like the new pixels will be a joke.

Anyone have a Axon 7? Do they even work?

>>61080071
I got this same problem with my Moto G5 (which uses the same battery as the G4 Play). One of the reasons I got it was the removable battery but I didn't realize Motorola doesn't actually sell any replacement batteries, it's just off-brand ones available.

I've decided to just wait for the highest spec version of the iPhone 8.

I'm tired of the Android device maker fuckery.

It's either some phone with amazing specs but absolutely garbage support or Google's Pixel phones with underwhelming hardware but decent software support.

I've never owned an iPhone but it can't be worse than this.

Is it possible to open two chrome windows in Android splitscreen?

>>61080208
iOS is pure shit though, too closed down. I would not recommend an iPhone. what do you need support for?

Question senpai.

I just bought an s7 edge last week and while working an event yesterday my phone recorded some extremely jittery video, it was super hot outside though and the phone was getting noticeably hot and even stopped me from recording video at all. Is it possible that the heat is what caused the jittery video or is the phone itself having issues? I'm using a class 10 64gb micro SD in it as well.

I was recording in FHD 60fps

>>61080241
Don't think so, but a work-around would be to install two separate browser apps (chrome and chrome beta for example)

>>61080190
Off-brand isn't that big a deal though, as long as you pick a good brand. My Galaxy Note 4 ran perfectly fine on the Powerbear batteries I got for it.

Problem is, across every replacement battery available on Amazon, there are two reviews. Literally. Two reviews for the same battery, nothing for the rest.

>>61079850
I compared them on gsmarena before and the G4 did look better but it's obviously a year old and the E4 is brand new.

>>61080305
I'd think it's the heat if the video isn't jittery under normal circumstances, probably something to do with the phone throttling

>>61080350
The Pixel doesn't have underwhelming hardware, if that's what you want.

This is what it was doing, I recorded more video later that seemed fine. I haven't recorded much video on this though so I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for it or not.

>big screen
>bright screen
>front-facing speaker(s)
>decent camera
As cheap as possible

That looks really good and it's also on amazon.

While it is nice I don't use my phone that much, do you have anything cheaper?

>>61080439
Seems it only jitters when you pan the camera. Holding it fairly still it seems fine.

I have an s6... is there any phone that is really worth upgrading to?

>>61080646

Last gen flagships
Samdung Note 5 is gonna,be going on sale soon to make room for the Note 8
Nexus 6p is nice
Moto g5+ is fantastic, and Costo is seling them for 200 usd

Really depends, if you just want a telephone literally anything will work. If you do light work on it something a little tougher

>>61080705
I use it on my bike as a GPS and watch videos lying in bed, that's pretty much it.

Both seem pretty decent for the price, similarly priced phones of other brands are utter shit for what I have been looking at (ie Samsung, Huawei, Alcatel, LG)

What phones can you recommend which have +4000mAh battery and max screen size 5.5''. Also I prefer snapdragon 6xx for battery life.

>>61081476
Shit camera

>>61081476
Read some reviews, there's no hidden "catch", it's simply a good chink phone. Camera is average but that's pretty much the only con it has. The stock ROM had some issues and bugs earlier but the Nougat update fixed all that.

Looks promising also thanks.

Lenovo p2 looks the best out of these but seems really difficult one to get. Same seems to be about that note 4 64gb/4gb version.

What's the best NON-CHINK phone under $300 now?

>>61081634
something moto probably
or some older LG flagship

>>61081620
Note 4 64gb/4gb is going to be back in stock at the beginning of the next month, Xiaomi changed something with the design so it's temporarily out of stock everywhere

I wish I could just keep my S5 forever but I can't update any app because the processor won't keep up. Most apps even now take long to open.

I can't believe Google would make a sub 5.5 device and remove both the sd slot and headphone. Holy fuck

Hi everyone. I ordered a Motorola Moto Z play from Amazon.de at a lower price thanks to a fellow /g/entooman. Coming from a S5 mini, what do I expect in terms of rooting difficulty ? What about flashing custom roms ? I had LineageOS 13, but it is said that Resurrection Remix is better. Does resurrection remix exists in Marshmallow for the Z play ? (Xposed) Are gapps needed for this rom to work ?

Found chink model of Lenovo P2. Only difference seems to be that it's missing b20 which doesn't hurt that much because I can still use 3g in countryside. I only wonder can I install global ROM in it or update it as one?

Month or so long owner of a new blue xl2 vivo. Overall I enjoy the Phone and am using it on the straight talk 8 gig plan, but occasionally the phone goes straight to voicemail when someone calls inexplicably. Would recommend this phone to someone who needs a cheap texting/ snap / messaging etc device with decent cameras, but not if you need super reliable calls. I feel like my 150 or so got me a lot of phone despite this big flaw

>>61081725

there's quite a few custom ROMs available on XDA, including official LineageOS

Any recommendations for Nexus 6 7.x roms?

My phone came with Bliss rom and it's on 6.4. Anything lighter yet has the majority of the same functions? A menu similar to the image would be nice.

Bonus points if I can play feh or fgo on it.

>>61081783
The Z Play was 249€ on Amazon and the Z2 Play will probably be around 499€, also the Z Play has a bigger battery (3500mah vs 3000mah)

>>61081783
I took the deal for the battery, mostly. For that price...
>>61081807
Thanks. I'll look into it in more detail. I hope I won't fuck up since this is my first phone that isn't a Samsung

like not at all? The customs stop all packages? I'd take the Redmi 4A rjen then, I'd say it's the best phone out of what's available under $200 in your link. Though I'd try to stretch your budget for the Redmi 4X, I think it's worth the extra $50 for better specs.

So what is the best CHEAP carrier?

I'm switching off my dad's Verizon plan, which he'd only charge me $30/mo for if I stayed on it, so I'd ideally jump on something as cheap as that (and almost definitely not going to stay on VZW for some other reasons)

The good news is I only use <2GB/mo anyway. So I was thinking about hopping on Republic, or maybe looking into Google Fi. Are these memes?

Why is it so important for you cunts to always be contrarian? If a phone is popular it somehow disqualifies it from being good?

>>61081378
Correction; Motorola took the plunge first, then apple "populatized" it

Though with usb-c and lighting adapters, I can see the death of 3.5mm in the next few years.

I bought a Galaxy S8+, switching from the Pixel XL.

What's a good launcher that looks and performs like the Pixel Launcher?

>>61082095
the two of them have a SD 835 so there won't be difference in speed because of the processor

i like the OP5 better because the 8GB ram makes it more future proof, but my country has no tech support for them so fuck that

>>61082112
nova or action launcher, but you have to set up it a lil bit

>>61081537
>no updates
>not a problem
Nougat came almost a year ago, android O is coming in a few months time. Yet this phone that launched in 2017 is still stuck on Marshmallow with no ETA for Nougat. I know it's a $200 phone but that's still pretty shitty support

>>61081590
Depends on what features you're after.

>>61075873
Android is better they say.

It has more features they say.

I trust my trusty iPhone though.

At-least it was made by (them) and not ((them))

Going from an S4 -> OP5, fuck me I'm excited.

>>61082150
nova or action, which one is better?

how do i optimize my phone as much as possible?

any apps / uis i should look out for?

It seems to me that the major complaint about OP5 is that it's more expensive than their previous phones.

Now that's not really an argument in itself for saying that it's bad phone. It sucks, yes, but it doesn't mean that it's no longer worth the price, right?

To be fair, most phones have gone up in price in the last couple of years. Galaxy S7 was certainly not as expensive as S8. So it's only natural that Oneplus is raising their prices although I agree that the curve has been way too steep.

I'm not trying to defend Oneplus here, just want to know why everyone is treating it differently. Most reviewers seem toa gree that it's still one of the best phones out there so why is it so hard to justify a price tag of 500 USD which is cheapoer than any other major phone?

>>61082335
Because One plus marketed itself as "the flagship killer" and now is starting to ironically price their phones like a standard flagship

since this is /g/, why does everyone love cheap chinkphones here? don't you guys have NEET bucks to spend on technology/

>>61082297
Either or. You can get both full versions from the internet

>>61082397
Cost effectivness. We're here for a phone to rice/root and use. Not a slab of glass to show off

>>61082297
if you like to use widgets Nova is better since you can remove the padding and some other things

otherwise there is not that much difference

i bought the two, but i use Nova

>>61082450
do you have to pay for nova?

>>61082397
Because only chinks are using batteries large enough. All others have shitty 3000mAh batteries or even less.

>>61082463
Not if you don't want to :^)

>>61082463
you can use without paying, but you lose a few features like gestures and hiding icons from the drawer

sometime it goes on sale for one buck and it's worth it

>>61081996
I am on AICP 6.0.1 which was the last stable version before the project ended. I love it, but apps like Spotify, Textra and any Google app is a pain to open to the point where I don't even want to update any of them

Helloooo!
I currently own an iPhone 5s and the screen (not the glass) is fucked up. Idk why, was using it today when some pixels just burned after I touched the area they are in, also there are weird lines all across the screen itself.
The phone still works perfectly but I don't wanna spend 150-200€ to change the whole screen.

So, I'm looking for a new smartphone.
I like iPhones but the 7 costs almost 800€ here so I'm not really sure about it.
I live in Italy btw and i want to change carrier. I found some cool promotions and I was thinking about buying the iPhone 7 and then activating a promotion. I don't wanna spend like 30€ per month for 30 months.

Or, is there any cool alternative? Maybe under 500€? I don't like HUGE phones, also cool design is a big plus.
