Looking to buy an S7 Edge, current phone is an s4 which I've had since launch. Is it worth going for the edge """upgrade""", or should I stick with the standard build? I'm not a retard so I haven't ever cracked or damaged a smartphone of mine, but how easy is it to fuck up, and what case should I get for it if it is?

Looking for a new phone. Around 200-350 dollars. USA. Cricket wireless. Have a lot of downtime at work so I play a lot of games. Replaceable battery, microSD, 5.5 ish screen size.

Currently have an S5 with a custom ROM. Since I started playing more games it's been freezing a lot and I've been hating the battery life. Looking for a solid upgrade.

Thanks!

>>61296796
Palm rejection sucks, go with the regular s7. As a side note my brother has an s7 and it's pretty laggy but still good for casual use

>>61296770
G5+

>>61296883
Get the LG G5 in the OP news, LG V20 has a removable battery too but it's probably over your budget unless you find a good deal on one / buy used.

>>61296963
How is it in terms of bloatware? Or custom roms/rooting?

>>61296913
g5+ is 100 dollars more pricey

>>61297116

I'll probably roll the dice with the LG G5. How likely is it that I'll have problems with my phone?

>>61297330
Not likely, I've known 3 G5 users and neither of them suffered bootloops
Sure it's anecdotal, but fwiw it's a good phone

>>61297330

I wouldn't risk it imo. LG seems fishy these days, be cautious

>>61297431

Are there any good (i.e. flagship tier or slightly below) 5 inch phones?

>>61298262
5inchs and up.
Sd card
At least 3gb ram
Above average battery.
Its gotta go fast.

I dont care is its an inch thick.

Average camera is just fine.

Really appreciate some help. I used something called drfone to try and get a photo I accidentally deleted. My S6 kept saying Security alert and I couldn't update because its now modified (I've never rooted the phone). I tried to update with smart switch and now my phone is stuck on a blue screen saying to use emergency recovery function. I'm doing that but is my phone now fucked?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-spotify-dogfood-ad-free-spotify-t3632423
>This mod is "open-source". The Spotify app itself of course isn't, but the alterations/modifications done to the app in order to avoid ads are clear and concise, well-documented, and are getting uploaded as patchsets, so that they are perceptible and crystal clear at plain sight. This is because people, starting by myself, don't easily trust modded applications out there, so this makes it easier for you all to "audit" the modifications

>>61298328
>using a recovery program
>using a Samsung for this
You fucked up, the phone is just about fucked. Never use these.

Bought a new Moto Z recently, here's some thoughts if anyone is interested:

>Performance
I'm coming from a HTC M7 which for me was perfectly fine in terms of performance so the Moto Z feels like a spaceship to me. I can't compare it to other flagships.

>Camera
It's nothing spectacular but nothing too bad either. In any case, if you ever feel that your camera is just not good enough for good pictures, read some photography guides, otherwise keep using damn filters and stop complaining.

>Battery
As all the reviews say, it really isn't looking good. I'll be buying the battery mod as initially planned because I really like the idea of having 2 battery mods and be able to hot swap them. If you're not a retard like me, look for another phone, this one is barely usable on it's own. It'll get through a day if you're not using it much.

>Quality of Life
As I said, I'm a retard and really like the mods idea. They gave me the JBL speaker as a gift and I firmly don't suggest anyone spending money on it. It's got a good battery life and only decent speakers, but it's not worth the money. Try to hear it first before buying it. It's still very fun to snap it on easily if you're into showing off to your normie geek friends.
The software is very clean and I really dig the gestures, altho every phone has some version of that. My reason for buying it is because I want the daydream vr headset and my carrier doesn't offer the Pixel.
>tldr
Don't buy it unless you're into gadgets and novelty.

Was kinda set on the oneplus 5, but I don't particularly trust Samsung or Oneplus at this point.

Looking for a new phone since my old one is dying.

Which phone has the most third-party support?
Ideally I want something I can buy and not have to replace for the longest time possible. Something that has continual development, good durability and repairability.
I imagine that would end up being whatever is most popular.

Budget max 200USD.
I would like USB-C and NFC but not vital.

What's a good phone that's $200 or less and works with AT&T? I want something that's not slow and has a good screen.

Is there anything that beats the Moto G5 for the same price?

So I'm planning on buying this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Global-Version-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4-Mobile-Phone-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM-Snapdragon-625-Octa-Core/32795263337.html
anyway, does lineageOS works well with it and is it usable in france? Also are there any problem that I need to know off? and what's the recommended price?

I need a replacement for my old HTC Desire Z. I didn't switch because I started to want a new one some years ago when the Droid 4 came out in the US but not here. I really want a smartphone with a nice physical keyboard.

Should I invest the high amount (about 600$ in my country) and get the Blackberry keyone?
Can you suggest me any other qwerty phones?

Or should I just put a new battery into my Desire Z? I just use it for WhatsApp and calls anyway...
US only phones won't work because of the frequency

I feel like the current market has a big hole that cannot satisfy the public slice I'm in.
Since the discontinuation of the Nexus line, there is no phone that can satisfy my expectations.

I care only about 2 things:
1- must be android stock with 0 day system updates
2- must be under 500$ (new)

I don't even feel like those requests are exaggerated. Do you have any suggestion, or am I doomed?

Ok then now for the most important part, what color? I like the gray one but will it get dirty?

>>61303444
Are you referring to the actual new Nokia main line, or to the old style 3310 line?
I can't think about comfortably using any modern app on the latter.

Is it necessary to upgrade from HTC 10 to HTC U11?

For taking small amount of pictures, more usually in bad light conditions.

Found a HTC 10 for 288 dollars and U11 is with discount around 770 dollars in my country.

Please fast help because the 10 is on an ad.

Fellow Pixel users.

Anyone here have their phone randomly change wallpaper/screen locks for no reason on them? Every so often my phone would change back to one of the default stock wallpapers and I have no idea why it would do that.

>>61296162
I don't have much money to spend right now, I need a '''new''' phone, and I like the ability to do stupid shit like install different operating systems (think Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch) on my phone.

Is a Nexus 5 in the >$100 range a good purchase?

>>61303493
No. HTC 10 should last you 2-3 years.

I had my One M8 for over 3 years before I upgraded to U11.

>>61303481
Black one is the best IMO. I'd think scratches will show easier on the gray

>>61303567
Fug I kinda like the gray. My main concern is that the black picture look like the back of the phone is some kind of reflective plastic. If it's metal I'm fine with it

>>61303540
I'm okay with buying used and I'm coming from a Moto G1, btw

>>61303549
Sounds cool. How stock is their OS? I don't want no third party stores or shit like that.

>>61303547
Got M8S at the moment and only thing that sucks is the camera and onboard storage because apps are growing a lot in size.

How likely is someone to notice the difference between the 3GB note 4 and the 4GB note 4?
Is it going to change much in terms of the usable life of the phone?

>>61303586
Most of the back is metal, only the top and bottom bits are plastic. Now that I thought about it, the black will probably show scratches just the same as the gray as it's just painted black. So get the gray if it's the one you like the most.

>>61303645
>The Nokia 6, 5, and 3 are all refreshingly loaded with stock Android. HMDhas a customized camera app, and the "Download" and "Settings" icons have been changed, but other than that, this is pureAOSP.

>>61303676
Thanks m8 I'll get the gray one then

>>61303258
What are you using your phone for?

>>61303540
The Nexus 5 is getting a bit old and the battery life was never that good, I'd look at getting an OPO instead.

>>61303703
They've been updating the Chinese 6 for a couple of months now. They put out the July security update before Google put it out for the pixels

Will the Redmi Note 4 get cheaper after the Note 5 is announced? If I am in no hurry is it worth waiting another month?

>>61303407
Moto Z phones are getting a slide out qwerty Motomod:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyboard-mod-a-physical-keyboard-for-the-moto-z

>>61303761
why not take the month to save up for the note 5

>>61303792
Budget wont increase no matter how long I wait. It is not a matter of how much money I have saved as much as it is how much money I am willing to spend.
That said I might end up splurging for the note 5 instead if the stats are right. I do quite want USB-C.

>>61303703
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'll probably buy a Nokia 9 when it will come out.

>>61303761
Redmi Note 3 didn't, doubt the Note 4 will

>>61303812
in that case, you can wait for a month to see if it's worth your money, to see if people are willing to part with their note 4's if they want to switch up, or to see if it'll get cheaper in general.
At least, if you don't have need of a phone immediately

>>61303761
>>61303830
So is it relatively certain that the note 5 will be coming out in a month?

What about the OnePlus X?

>>61303426
Which versions? I thought the nexus line was discontinued in place of the pixel?

>>61303865
Well it wasn't as popular as the OPO so the development scene isn't as big, the battery life isn't as good as on the OPO either, but if you're after something more compact it should be fine.

A friend bought a Redmi 5 from Aliexpress, was listed as Global but in reality had the chink rom, and he couldn't send it back, plus it took him about a month to receive it, and my phone's dying quick so I can't wait that long. As last resort I'll just bite the bullet and go with Aliexpress, but if I can avoid it I will

>>61305371
buying chinkphones is just not worth it. If you just bought a new phone, wouldn't you pay like $20-40 to get it right away than wait for 30+ days? plus there's so many different ways to get chinked.

>>61305343
Yes, it's an insanely good price for what is a 2016 flagship phone.

>>61305371
Check out Honorbuy. They have a warehouse in the EU so they'll ship faster (no customs/VAT either)

Don't risk LG products atm. Until they are officially declared fixed, I wouldn't go for that company

Looking for a new phone, around 200-400. USA, Republic wireless. Usually multitasking with almost ten apps running at the same time, and usually have problems with switching between them (memory). I'd like to get something with an micro SD card slot, 5.7 ish screen, and 1440p resolution. Mostly have been looking at the Nexus 6P, but I'm here to ask people who know what they're talking about.

Currently have a Motorola X Pure. Battery life and Android version support is god awful.

Thanks boys

You're an idiot, stop spreading FUD, the G5 didn't have the bootloop problem

You want the LG V20, don't listen to the FUD spreading shitheads ITT either, the V20 was only added to the lawsuit so the law firm could get a bigger payout, and they sent out a survey to see if people were affected in March and no new developments have happened since then

Sadly it's one of those things that you either notice or you don't, I can't see it at all so I can't complain. If there was a way for you to try one in person it could help you decide. Outside of the memes it's a pretty fast phone.

LG G4 and Nexus 5

should i get an s7 snapdragon version for 290$ new?
answer quickly

I've had my Nexus 5X for the past year, bought off ebay so no warranty.Ut just got into the bootlooping and I am now in the market for a new phone but I don't know where to start. What I'm looking for is something that I can move my SIM card from my Nexus 5X to so I won't have to go through getting a new Straight Talk plan, and also something that has a decent camera, good memory, and won't lag bad. My budget for right now is 230$, but when I get paid on Wednesday I'll be willing to spend up to 300$ on a new phone that hopefully fits those requirements. After seeing this thread I see that Nexus is prone to this bootlooping issue, so I'm hoping that I can find a good replacement that's not in the Nexus line. Anyone have any suggestions on phones I could get?

Why is Telcel such shit?

It has strong 3G in my room, while Telcel struggles to catch fucking G.
Should I ditch Telcel and go with AT&T?

>>61307613
Temtping to go with the LG G5 deal that's going on. Is that only for a certain amount of time? I googled it and that phone is going for around 600 something on the LG site, si there any catch to it I should know about? That deal seems a bit too good to be true

And that would be able to use the SIM card I bought for my Nexus 5X that was Straight Talk? Sorry about the questions, I'm just a complete novice when it comes to phones.

>>61307844
Yes, it's for a limited time, the catch is that due to LG's reputation taking a hit due to the bootloop issue with the G4/5X/V10, G5 backstock has been reduced in price significantly, there have been reports if G5s bootlooping, but that was release models and the ones on sale now aren't

>>61307884

>>61308151
You can contact LG, the 5X was recently dropped from the lawsuit because LG promised to honor any issues with them

I have a very stupid question, I admit I'm tech illiterate.
I hope somebody can answer my question though.
I have a sim card that I've had for quite a while now (like years), I've had this on jailbroken phones, I had this when downloading stupid stuff on my phone like apps that spammed ads or froze up my phone, visited websites that locked up my phone etc.
I now have a new phone, but I wonder if it is best to buy a new sim card maybe because perhaps there are any virusses or something on the sim card?
Is this possile?
What would you guys say?
Answers much appreciated.

>>61308186
Doubtful there are any viruses on your SIM, the problem you might face is newer phones require nanoSIM cards, and if your SIM is micro it won't fit, hopefully yours is a 3 in 1 and you can make it a nanoSIM, but if not you'll have to get a new one

>>61308177
I got into contact with the LG support chat and was told since I had purchased my 5X through ebay they are not able to follow through on warranty and aren't responsible for anything that happens to it. their words were that it wasn't brand new, it was refurbished, and that the warranty didn't cover anything like that, and that since I had purchased it through ebay there was no warranty. Was that just a load of BS, or is that accurate?

>>61308232
Probably accurate, their warranties are non-transferable
Just recycle it because unless you're going to be a douchebag and try to sell a bricked phone, you're not going to get any money for it

>>61308220
Hey, thanks for your answer.
Yes it's a 3 in one.
