/spg/ - Smartphone General

Reminder that Zuk Z2 is a worthless piece of shit. Better off getting a Xiaomeme

>>61244318
I remember /spg/ was singing praise for it not long ago, what happened?

>>61244354
That was just a single ZUK shill

Is there any 4chan client for iOS?

>>61244354
I think nothing happened. Just anyone can post on spg and there's a lot of hate towards zuk in other generals like csg (because of the shills).
I own a xiaomeme and i've gifted a cuck z2 to my gf and both work without a problem. But i've seen a lot of people having bad experiences with the z2 so It really depends on who you ask.

X compact for 270 euros.

It comes with carrier apps preinstalled but is not locked which means I can use any sim card I want. If I want to get rid of the carrier apps, would it be possible to flash the stock Sony ROM?

>>61244381
Not unless you sideload via xcode and a MacBook.

>>61244407
Yes, flashing the stock ROM should get rid of the carrier apps. You could also give this a try:

Wireless charging

Where OP5 wins:
Software
Performance
Battery life
Faster charging
USB-C

What's the best phone I could get under ~$300? It would have to have a great price/performance ratio and be phablet sized. It would have to work with 4G LTE in the US, so fuck chinkphones I guess

>>61245048
How many times are you going to ask this same question? Just fucking buy a phone already

>>61245008
I see. It's just my old HTC Incredible S dying slowly, constant freezes, reboots, etc. so I'm looking for replacement.
Wasn't looking at mobile phone scene for 6+ years, it confuses the shit out of me now.
Seems like Xiaomi is way to go after quick research, tho if you have any other recommendation on this price point - I welcome those.

Tell me a chinkshit that works with 4G LTE carriers in the US - with most features on the flagships of today (NFC, good cameras, etc.) The screen also needs to be more than 5 inches

Have the moto z play at the moment. Any good phone with similar battery (or slightly worse, i guess) and good camera and good software? Would prefer if I can root/has active dev community

I'm planning on buying a G6 to use on AT&T in the next day or two, schedule permitting.
My contract has been for the line and data only as I bought my current phone at retail because it saved me $200+ over what would've been the leasing option. I like most of the features of the G6, but the camera isn't as good as the S8 and this iteration of the G series removed the IR Blaster, which I made excessive use of on my G2. These being my biggest hang-ups, how would I go about negotiating the price of the G6, or do I push for them to throw in a few things like a case/screen protector?

I just want a definite answer as to which phone I should get

OK, clean-slate start:
I want a new phone to replace my broken Galaxy Note 2. It has to work with 4G LTE carriers in the US and it has to have a great price/performance ratio. I would like it to be less than $300, yet feature things found in flagships (USB-C, NFC, etc.) I'd also like the camera to be good.

>>61246793
Fuck off retard.

>>61247356
$600? Were the other sony compact phones that expensive? I wonder if they'll fix the problem with overheating this time. I probably would have gotten the Z compact if it wasn't for that. That sort of leads me to believe that was the reason why sony went from having a flagship compact phone to a midrange one the next year.

How am I supposed to properly charge my phone?

>>61246045
Just got mine and I'm pretty pleased with it. It's bretty gud even with a stock ROM, but I may be biased because I hate rice.

>>61251329
Charge before or when the battery level reaches 30%. Deep discharge is bad.
Remove promptly from charger when fully charged, and don't leave on the charger for more than 12 hours. Overcharge is bad.

>>61251529
How fast is the autofocus? What features do you like and hate the most? Honestly want to purchase either this, the G6 or V20. What made you buy this instead of those other two? What are your thoughts on the camera so far?

/g/uys I need a phone to replace my iphone 6 plus

Need a big screen and phone over all, Want to emulate games ( DS and such ) 4k video would be nice and a nice screen and it MUST be fully Verizon LTE compatible. The last part is why I don't buy a chink phone from Xiaomi

>>61251529
I thought overcharge wasn't a thing with modern electronics. Do you have any sources you could point me to?

Want something to replace my Axon 7. Thinking G6 or possibly waiting on the Mate 10. Aside from updated specs and the edge to edge screen are there any more new features announced for the Mate 10? A buddy bought a Mate 9 and he loves it so he's trying to sell me on it.

Is a Nexus 6 even considerable to buy at this age? I could get one in mint condition for $169

Can I ask a dumbass Android question here?
I recently installed Lineage 14.1 on my Zenfone 2, and then flashed stock gapps on top of it. This meant that the AOSP default keyboard was replaced by Gboard, but whenever I opened the settings on it, it crashed. I decided to remove the app with system app remover, and then reinstall from the Play Store. The uninstaller went through, but when I tried to install the APK for Gboard again, it complained about the app already being installed.
Wat do, /g/? I'll delet if off-topic.

>>61251620
It isn't. You could literally leave your phone on the charger for a week and it wouldn't harm the battery.

>>61251678
Just do a full wipe and reinstall LineageOS, and this time pick one of the smaller gapps packages like mini or micro.

>>61251794
Alright man, will do.
Thanks.

>>61251637
Should be still good. People are using much older phones just fine.

what exactly can I do on a $500 phone that I can't do on a $250 phone? Convince me to buy something other than the nokia 6

Fast. It takes maybe 1/4-1/2s to refocus from 3m to 0.5m.
>Honestly want to purchase either this, the G6 or V20. What made you buy this instead of those other two?

I haven't fully exercised it. So far I love:
>bullshit-free design
>display auto-brightness that doesn't suck
>easy enough to root or reflash
Like:
>physical silent/DND/on alert controls
Hate:
>need root to set default notification tone
>gotta buy all new USB-C cabling
>no microSD slot (but works well enough with a USB reader via OTG)
>What are your thoughts on the camera so far?
Pro mode is /comfy/ af. Will be testing the camera more this weekend.

Most devices I've seen lately, even as new as my phone released just a week ago, counsel against leaving a device on the charger for more than 12 hours. Not just cautions, but exclamation-point-in-triangle warnings.
I know lithium-ion charging circuits detect end-of-charge by a negative slope in the battery voltage, which implies a stress condition. A device that's left on the charger continuously might run into that negative delta-V cycle over and over again, wearing the battery or causing a catastrophic condition.

>>61251807
would the price/performance ratio found still hold up?

>>61252153

>>61252262
Yes, the G6 is a great phone. Also the Pixel XL is selling for $480:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/google-pixel-xl/#?sku=2170533

If you want something cheaper then check out Moto Z Play or Z2 Play.

Please give me one really good reason not to buy an iPhone.
And not an autistic reason like the inability to use a Bluetooth controller with it or anything like that. A serious, legitimate reason.

>>61252436
Yes. It's starting to age a lil because it's 2 generations behind now since the new one is coming out very soon, but generally still good.

When charging a OP3, does it matter what kind of "features" a battery pack has?

Example, an Anker charger may have QC 2.0 or 3.0 or none of that at all. Because the OP3 has proprietary dash charge bullshit using a specific USB C to USB B connection, does it matter at all?

is the Nexus 5X trash? I'd assume a Nexus 6 would fare better

>>61253601
My 5x review almost 6 months ago, same feeling about it today:

Mini review of 5x

Pros:
>still the cheapest bang for your buck outright phone in Canada
>camera and bloat free Android is great
>constant Google updates fix """"problems"""" monthly
>good phone size for one handed use
>videos and text look great
>charging is good / 1-2 hours full 100% if you DON'T use the phone while charging
>upon fresh reboot, phone is the fastest device I've ever held
If rooted:
>easy to root / Pure Nexus ROM + Ex Kernel made my device faster and last longer battery wise
>no reboots necessary, always runs great

Cons:
>overpriced in Canada. Find a friend in the US to buy it for you. I made the mistake to buy it full price at $499, 32GB
>battery does 4hrs SOT tops, with no extensive apps like Pokémon GO or Snapchat
>gets hot as fuck. Slows down if it gets passed 45 degrees C.
>heat will destroy your battery, will not let the phone charge if you've pushed the 5x too much
>plastic build makes it feel cheap as hell Again, get this for the ~$250 US price tag to justify
If rooted:
>battery is still 4hrs SOT
>phone stays WAY cooler, not as many heat issues but Pokémon still kills it

tl;dr I liked it, esp coming from the 5 and didn't want to cash out $700. If in Canada, do NOT buy full retail price from the Google Canada Store. Go for a Newegg or some type of reputable retailer that will sell it to you for the US prices.
I ended up selling it for a decent $450.

Okay so I managed to sell my redmi pro (damaged when I got robbed) to a friend, what is best to get now?
I'm torn between the Mi 5 and the Mi 5c.
Both have good enough network bands and design.
Or should I just wait for the Note 5?
I don't care that much about the Pinecone on the Mi 5c and custom roms, Miui works great,
and I'm a sucker for front physical buttons, and the one in the Rpro was just great.

>>61244427
Get iPhone 6s if you used to Ios and use iMessage and FaceTime a lot

Is a note 5 still a good option ?

>>61253601
Avoid it like the plague.

>shitty battery, prepare to charge it twice a day even if you don't use it much
>nerfed provessor which is not even working properly as the phone performs worse than some chinkphones
>one of the worst display I've ever used
>2gb of ram

Seriously, you're better off with a chinkphone.
