is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X the best chinkphone out there? Reposting for more responses

>tfw trying for 2 days to salvage a bricked phone

Holy shit, it's infuriating.

Anyone have any hands-on experience with the Huawei Mate 9?

What's the best <$300 chinkphone these days

I was wondering what y'all thought about the LG V20, HTC 10, and Pixel XL. I purchased the latter to give it a whirl, and because I wanted the option to use Project Fi if Verizon starts to bore me.

The DACs on the HTC 10, and LG V20 are very interesting to me, however, and I was just wondering if y'all thought that would outweigh the possibility of Project Fi & stock Android.

As far as I can tell the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is the best Android phone after the S8 so far this year.

Outside of the style with the big bezels, is there a reason why I shouldn't get it ?

There's even a dual SIM version, and I read you can enable the fingerprint sensor by flashing the ROM?

lol ok

>>61187219
not chink, but nokia 6 is slightly more expensive (unless you're in US and have amazon prime). It's better choice if you want better camera (flagship tier) but weaker Soc (not that most people need top Soc anymore now that phone chips are more than good enough for anything besides gaming and niche activities) and smaller battery.

>>61187255
Well I care about battery efficiency and I'm not cuck like you who needs sd820 for shitty mobile games. I look for something with sd625.

>>61187269
S8 has the retarded Bixby button, and apparently its very easy to crack the screen

>>61187275
The processor really makes me concerned, with a Snapdragon 425 Idk about it

Is the OP5 crap?

>>61187306
I have a 410 phone and it's enough for me already when it comes to speed
YMMV
Buy Xiaomeme if you don't care about camera

>>61187313
Yes and why would you want phone with inverted screen?

>>61187299
Neither of those are enough to warrant it a failure. The phone has sold extremely well and essentially set a standard for this year's flagships.

And, as an S8+ owner, I've never had too much trouble with the Bixby button, and the screen is no easier to crack than any other smartphone.

OP5 LG G6 or Xiaomi Mi6

After 18+ months with the Nexus 6P, dealing with constant battery issues and a cracked screen, I am looking for a replacement.

What I'm looking for:

- Works with T-Mobile towers and potential network expansion.
- $400-500 price range
- Guaranteed update to Android O
- Decently sturdy (I love how well the N6P aluminum body held up).
- Fingerprint scanner
- USB Type-C with Fast Charging
- 3-4GB of RAM
- 32-64GB internal storage (N6P was 64GB model)
- Reliable manufacturer hardware support
- Unlocked, will be buying outright.

Optional:

- Waterproof
- SD Card slot
- Wireless charging

Phones I was looking at:

- Refurbished LG V20 (LG G6 if I can find it cheap enough)
- Blackberry KeyONE
- waiting for Pixel 2
- OnePlus 3T (maybe wait until the OP5 issues are fixed?)
- Motorola Moto Z (or Z2?)

>>61187413
Personally would wait for Pixel 2

Is Samsung Galaxy A3 good? Are there better alternative for similar price?

>>61187041
I'm looking at the Skinomi screen protector for my 3t. Anyone here use it?

>>61187436
I was considering this, though I'm worried it'll still be out of my price range when it releases. I kinda need something now.

>>61187313
>>61187348

It's not even the screen that you should consider as the biggest red flag.

It's the fact that their business practices are in line with the rest of native Chinese companies. Meaning they fucking lie through their teeth nonstop for profit margins and face zero accountability because they are Chinese.

The fact that they were OKAY with all the shit they've pulled is what should worry you.

>>61187495
If now, be on the lookout for a cheap G6

Something with a good DAC would be nice. Something repairable with removable battery and expandable storage if such things still exist.

I've decided to wait a month after release before buying the oneplus 5, it's been 5 days since it's global release date and it's already showing concerns.
The camera does not perform well
It's not water resistant
The screen is Jello
It's price.
Those are are the only things that bother me about it.
Now I'm looking for something else that has the same specs, similar software, and a good dev community with root and custom roms available. Which phones should i be looking at?
My current phone is a beat up 2015 galaxy j5 running lineage 14.1. I NEED a new phone.

Better for what? What do you use your phone for?
Would you also buy a 7700K for your grandma to browse the Internet.

Though I guess there are worse ways to waste your money

>>61188429
iirc the 820 was a top preformer in most benchmarks

>>61188447
Your grandma is not gonna multitask so 7700K is best consumer choice.
But she could also browse Internet comfortably on a cheapest Ryzen or even a G4560

now go to a shop, try a 625 phone (without bloat) and a 820 phone and think if it's really worth it

Depends on the phone. Usually there's different versions made for different regions with different set of network bands. So a phone bought in one region might have worse coverage or none at all in a another region.

Have a look at willmyphonework.net or frequencycheck.com

>>61187534
I hate to agree with you, but everything you're saying is truth. The worst thing about OP5 is that the design is simply a copy of the iPhone7. And their fucking trademark never settle, ha what a fucking disgusting joke that is. The design of the OP3 was just fine. No similarities to Samsung LG Sony or any other companies, but now it seems like oneplus decided that it's the highest time to grab some free money from Apple customers.

First its not an incremental upgrade
Second the UI is bloated to shit
Third you can get a Lenovo P2 with the same chipset and a better UI for 2/3 the price of the ZF3

Requesting purchase advice
Replacing Moto X (gen 2)

Country: US
Carrier: Needs to be able to travel internationally so GSM.
Features: Stock android, decent camera, relatively durable, a company which actually updates their phones
Budget: I prefer closer to midrange, but I mostly am focusing on price to performance ratio.
Size: I would prefer something around the size of my current phone.

Will LG ever release a compact version of the V20?

I really, really like what I've seen but I'm tired of 5.7" screens, my tiny manlet hands can't deal with it.

>>61191804
Don't count on it.

>>61191804
Probably not, the market (aka normies) want sealed batteries, no headphone jack, awkward screen sizes, no bezels, thinness at the sake of battery life, and fragile all-glass construction.

Need to do more research on it.

how is the mi mix?

>>61191973
It should still be in the update cycle considering it's SoC and it was marketed for travel

>>61192164
It only just got Nougat (almost a year after it released) and that'll most likely be the last android update it gets.

>>61191248

I'll probably go for that one then.
The G6 is 645 usd here, while the G8 is 785. One pluss does not appeal to me at all for some reason.

I'm looking for a smartphone. Could some people give recs? I'm not a heavy smartphone user and my most intensive use-case would be gps/maps, snapchat, music, ssh, light web browsing

>Required:
- USA, AT&T, would prefer unlocked phone
- Maximum price: $350 but would would prefer lower
- Android (muh F-Droid). I'm willing to buy used.
- Apps run well enough (snapchat doesn't crash, video playback is acceptable)
- At least 16GB internal storage
- Smaller screen (Around or below 5.5)
- Decent camera
- Fingerprint sensor

>Desired:
- Removable Battery
- High availability of parts (if it gets broken, it's easy enough to get fixed third-party)
- Sturdy, waterproof

I'm currently looking at an Honor 5x, but would not be adverse to getting a used phone from swappa or elsewhere.

Is buying a 2016 flagship a bad idea? How big an improvement is the 835?

Sprint LG G6 model LS993 is listed with a bunch of LTE bands... if I get unlocked Sprint LG G6 would Tmobile work OK with mms, etc? Or would Sprint OEM ROM break it?

>>61193224
Really big to battery efficiency.

>>61193136
Not personally, no. Wouldn't be that worried with a proper warranty.

Okay so I got a S8. I'm loving but I had dropped it. It wasn't even a big fall but my shit case I got didn't help. It cracked and I had to get a replacement. Got the replacement and really wanna know where I can find some shatter proof or somewhat shatter proof screen protector for it?

Who else plans to keep their current phone for a very long time? I've had the LG V20 for about 8 months now and I really see no reason to upgrade any time soon. I'll use this thing for years.

>Removable battery and expandable storage
(I have the zerolemon 10,000mAh battery so my phone never dies)
>4k screen
4k is a meme but it's nice to have.
>God-tier audio from the DAC
>High quality voice recording
>Really nice video recording options
>Second screen is a bit of a gimmick but it's handy to have
>System themes
High contrast theme is a really nice black theme

The KeyONE caught my eye but the lack of a removable battery and lack of root are dealbreakers. I can live without the physical keyboard because swipe typing is still pretty fast.

Who else is planning to stick with their current phone forever?

I have a PRIV.

Heats up, gets laggy, stuck on Marshmallow.

The existing options all have deal breakers for me. I can't stand Samsung, large phones, or short battery lives. The Experia XZ Premium has potential but it's even larger than the S8.

I considered the KeyOne but it literally falls apart.

Android fragmentation is so bad right now that if Apple comes out with an iPhone 7S this year then I'm switching to Apple.

I'm hoping Google's Pixel 2 saves me from doing that. But according to all leaks it's going to be underwhelming.

Maybe my PRIV could last another year.

should I drop ~$675 USD for an S8+ Unlocked variant?

it's a lot of money but it's a really good phone

I got an HTC one m8 but the battery is starting to go quick. What's a good replacement for this? I mostly just browse 4chan, use google maps, and text.
I just want something that works smoothly and doesn't die within half a day of not really doing much

Which would win in price/performance terms- the Moto G5+ or the Honor 6X?

>>61196595
It would be a tie with the Honor 6X, G5+, and Blade V8 Pro but only the blade has NFC, USB C, and a DAC with Dolby Atmos
G5+ and Blade V8 have the closest ROMs to stock Android while the Honor 6X is a chink iOS clone

>>61196640
I've heard ZTE get into some hot water, would a Blade V8 really oust a G5+ with those features? Motorola seems willing to update the G5+ imo

>>61196662
That hot water thing was about selling network equipment to Iran or some shit, the features are why I picked it over the G5+, but if you need to have the updates and such, go for the G5+, I just need the Blade V8 to get developers cause their XDA page is fucking barren

>>61191010
I got my Redmi Note 4x from gearbest, paid $10 for DHL shipping and it arrived roughly 10 days later in Australia.

>>61190354
Well considering the iPhone 7 is a sidegrade to the 6s, and the 6s actually has an auxiliary port... also the 8 will cost $1000, whereas I bought my 6s for $240 brand new.

Is the ZTE Axon 7 still ZTE's top-preformer? Does it still counter the flagships of today?

No because the Mi5 won't work on US networks and would only work on Wi-Fi, if you want a powerful cheap chinkphone, get the LeEco Le Max 2 X820

Either the Redmi Note 4X (I'm the first poster :D) or the ZTE Blade V8 Pro. Moto G5+ could also be a possibillity

>>61198127
The Global version and 4X is the same aside the bands. Probably because China came out with their mediakek 4 first and marketed the snapdragon as "4X" to differentiate the two.

>>61198127
What? They both have SD625

>>61198787
I thought the normal Note had a Mediatek one and was based only in India, idk

>>61198794
There's four different versions of the phone
Redmi Note 4, with a Mediatek Helio X20 processor

Redmi Note 4, with a Snapdragon 625 processor (only sold in India so disregard this one)
Redmi Note 4X, with a Snapdragon 625 processor
Redmi Note 4 Global, also with a Snapdragon 625 processor

It is recommended to get one of the Snapdragon versions. The only difference between them is the network bands, you'll most likely want to get the 4 Global as it's the only version with band 4 (commonly used in the Americas) and band 20 LTE (used almost everywhere in Europe).

I'll be spending some time in dirty shitholes and need something quite reliable, practical, affordable, but now it's all overpriced fragile touchscreens.
