Should I buy Moto G5 (169 euros) or is there a better alternative?

Mother wants an iPhone - is iPhone 6s decent? Never really researched about any of their phones.

This phone has the best performance on Android at the moment. And that's what you get. Almost stock with only useful features added with no bloat.

Has a great development platform.
Super snappy with great battery life.

Best phone you can buy

>>61323438
If money isn't an issue, you can go for it. If it is, there are better Android phones.

I wanna continue this conversation.

It's really looking like if I want to root, I'm going to have to specifically seek it out among the small subset of phones that have unlocked bootloaders.

Is this trend only going to continue? Customers must really not care anymore about tinkering with their devices. If this is the case and the way the industry is going, should I just switch to iphone instead?

Redmi Note 4 Global

>>61323438
Get her a iPhone SE

>>61323515
Nice meme summerfag

>>61323491
Forgot to mention I'm on Verizon which preemptively hamstrings me on a lot more phones as well. I didn't realize the VZW version of the Pixel is locked down too...

>>61323487
Yeah I'm aware of that but I think she's used to the Apple UI and would have a lot of trouble with something completely different.

Any idea what price I should be paying for 6s? I've found one (Grade A) for £269 on eBay but no warranty whatsoever and £379 for an Argos (12mo warranty refurbed) one. Don't think I need warranty but don't want to get chinked with some fake iPhone.

To state the obvious, in UK.

>>61323517
Too expensive.
>>61323522
Redmi Note 4 is a good phone and I considered to buy it, but it has a meh camera, so that's why I plan to buy Moto G5.

>>61323491
You don't need a phone with an unlocked bootloader to root (almost no android phone has the bootloader unlocked out of the box), you just need to buy from a manufacturer that allows you to unlock the bootloader, such as Sony, Oneplus, Motorola, HTC, LG (certain models), Xiaomi etc.

>>61323542
Yeah, Verizon doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked on their phones so you have to BYOP an (carrier) unlocked phone

>>61323251
What are the most minimalist ROMs? I just want call, text, update my apps, and maybe some firefox browsing.

>>61323562
£269 seems a pretty good price, but it's always better to have warranty imo. As other anon said, iPhone SE is also great. Have you tried to find standard iPhone 6 (without "s")?

>>61323646
Sultan Lineageos 14 is great and Minimalist, with great battery life and integrated privacy features

>>61323601
Is the Moto G5 any better though?

Who else is waiting for the Note 8? My Note 7 last year was amazing and I ain't even mad at Samsung.

>>61323710
Moto G5 is a bit inferior compared to Redmi Note 4, but the reason I want to buy a Moto G5 is incase it's defective, I send it to my local store where I bought it and they repair it or send it to Lenovo to be repaired which can take prob weeks, while for RN4, you send it to China via AirMail or whatever the hell is, and wait for 1+ month to be returned which is something I don't like. Not sure if everything I wrote is correct, I read a lot of opinions of these phones.

>>61323797
I still have my first release note 7. favorite phone to date. Will probably skip the note 8.

>>61323797
>I can't wait for an overpriced phone with shit software!

cuck

>>61323973
You mean like every iPhone ever? I don't really care about maximizing cost efficiency. I just want the best phone.

What is the best site to purchase Redmi note 4?
I'm located in Yurop (Waffle Land)

>>61324049
There are several stores that offer customs/VAT free shipping to europe:
honorbuy
ibuygou
flosmall
giztop
grossoshop
HK Goldway on aliexpress (select DHL shipping)

>>61323802
Ibuygou offers a 1 or 2 year European warranty if you pay extra, they have repair centers in Spain and Poland.

I just ordered a OP5. Did I do good?

The only thing that prevents me from buying iPhone is the size. It's either a manlet tiny screen, or a good sized screen with huge bezels.

>>61324049

A friend of mine is offering to sell me his factory unlocked Blackberry Priv for $160 Canadabux (about $123 freedombux). He's used it about a year and a half, it's been kept in a case (which I get as part of the deal) and is in good shape overall. Decent deal y/n? I thought the keyboard was really neat and it seemed like a nice phone the few times I used it. Currently have a Galaxy S3 locked to Koodo.

What is the logical 2017 upgrade from a Galaxy S4?

>>61325828

>want to get a galaxy s8
>Prices and dropping

>but it's still a hefty price to pay for a phone compared to the cheapo xiaomi I've been using for the past 2 years

Should I go for it?

>>61326366
My last G4 bootlooped. It was the second replacement, I just got my money back with some credit card insurance.
Was it usable? Sure, the lg uix is acceptable with a decent layer of oem customization. You can easily update and use custom roms either using a unlocked bootloader or installing modified .kdz files to jump between regional updates.

The phone ran hot the last months, I didn't even use it for games or tasks that made use all the processor powerhouse.

The V20, N5x, V10 have all the same issues, LG has been sued these months but they cashed out some law firms to drop them.

If you give me a specific budget I can work you a decent update path so you don't have to google 40 smartphones today.

>>61326423
Nah. Aparrently samsung has some software trigger that kills the phone performance when a new phone goes into sale.

Twitter, google and other places are full of people complaining about their s7's shitting the budget after the s8 was announced.

Anyone else having an issue with dashchan where you can't reply directly to posts without typing it in manually?

I'm a Nokia guy but the SOC combined with the half-year US release delay just didn't make sense to me. But that review also suggests that Android is inherently inefficient as fuck regardless of the hardware.

So in conclusion I'll just buy an iphone and a decent case.

Alright - I'm a total novice to Android - in fact the only smartphones I've ever owned and used are Nokia N900 and Nokia N9. I finally bought an Xperia X Compact for myself and now I've trying to become familiar witth custom roms and all that shit.
All I've done this far have been downgrading to 6.0.1 to make a backup of the DRM keys on the device, and unlocking the bootloader. What is commonly the next step when my ultimate goal is to install OmniRom on the phone? Do I install the rom, then a custom recovery or what is the generally preferred order?

is there ANY phone that isn't shit under $550?

>>61323562
Have you looked at Apple's refurb store? They'll have the 6S and the plus for a decent price and they cover it with a warranty as if it's new.

I have had the PRIV since the day it was released.

Be prepared to stay stuck on Marshmallow forever. Also you will need to change the battery after about one year. That's easy though.

Anyway the thing with Moto for me, is I have a Moto X Pure 2015 that still hasn't gotten the fucking Nougat update; apparently Moto has a track record with this kind of shit and it's really turning me off to their phones in the future. Lenovorola screwed over the franchise.

Even with as good as the G5+ looks, and the steep discount on Prime day, I was about ready to pull the trigger until I realized the Prime exclusive version with ads, has a locked down bootloader. Bah. Guess I'll just keep waiting till my hand is forced or a really cool new phone comes out.

Opinions on LG G5?

>>61330827
The G6 is relatively new, it seems a euro version and the Sprint version have been unlocked, there should be more, but if development is an issue with you, you should probably get the Axon 7, OP3T/5, or the V20
>>61330854
Haven't they had support for LineageOS for a while now? Aren't they already on Nougat stable?
>>61330870
Good phone if you're not an autist

>>61330893
Yeah there's Lineage builds but they all have some camera issues, sometimes it doesn't start or takes a few seconds. Makes snapchat a pain. Also most of the ROMs I've tried all slow down over time, to the point of freezing for minutes at a time and just generally being unbearably laggy.

I think Lenovo's having some trouble with the Nougat build which is why it's taking so long, probably something to do with the drivers, or the SD808 and the fact that it overheats like crazy at points.....idk. Fact is Moto has just been hit or miss on a lot of little shit and it builds up and I'm not sure I can trust them anymore.

>>61331630
I have a budget of $550 or so and it seems like it's definitely the best option, right?

>>61331639
I really don't know, I have a G5 and I love it so the 6 couldn't be that bad.

Meh, Axon 7 is less but you get more storage, front stereo speakers, DAC, and there's a ton of dev support

I'm getting more into fitness, so I bought a runners watch with limited smartwatch capability.

Anybody else use a smartwatch? I'm looking forward to testing the music control and stuff, could be neat.

>>61331774
I can put in an sdcard, I never use my phone speakers, dac would be nice, dev support is really nice

overall it's a tough call, the g6 is only $100 more

I need a neetphone. Needs to be fast cheap and easy to root/get rid of spyware. Can anyone recommend any? If I used it with a cell carrier it would probably be through ting in the USA or some other cheap pay as you go provider.

blu r1 hd prime edition. $60 and can be rooted easily to remove amazon crap. cfw

>>61332289
is it $60 or do you get a rebate? I can't tell.

its $60 with an amazon prime subscription. if youdont have one you can do a free trial and get it for $60. 2GB of RAM and a chink mediakek cpu

Has the OP3T price dropped already? I'm looking for a new phone, with a good battery, high storage or SD slot. Camera doesn't matter. 400$ budget I'm europoor

Sending in my OnePlus 3 for repair since the battery degraded drastically, and probably going to sell it when I get it back. Is their any phone for $100-$200 that can replace it without much sacrifice?

Battery life just needs to be decent to good and the Android software needs to be stable and USB C would be preferable due to accessories. I'm thinking about getting an iPhone SE for $200 from AT&T or the Moto G4 (not play) from Amazon Warehouse deals for around $90, but heard some issue with the Moto G4 with its digitizer.

I'm probably going to use the phone for around 6-7 months till I eventually replace it with a Pixel 2, iPhone 8 or something.

Is dash charge a meme?

>>61333610
I know both aren't USB C devices, but can't find any on a budget phone besides Le Eco which I heard their Android Build is not great.

>>61333624
No, it's currently the fastest method of fast charging there is. The downside is that only official Oneplus accessories work with it.

>>61333610
Get one of the Amazon prime phones, like Moto E4 for $99, or Moto G5+ or Nokia 6 for $179.

Alternatively the LG G5 for $199 or Nextbit Robin for $109 here (both have USB C)
>>61324708

>>61333531
It's not sold by Oneplus anymore, they discontinued it when OP5 came out. You'll have to buy a used one unless you can find a third party seller.

I'm hyped for the LG Q6, assuming LG will nail the price.

You could just get a $20 dumbphone, or if you absolutely need android then a $50 chinkphone

the samsung galaxy s4 front facing camera is 2mp

is it worth upgrading to a moto g4 5mp if i use it for video calls

>>61335741
dumbphones are kind of useless when all your friends message you on kikebook or whatsapp.

i was tempted by the 50$ chinkphones but a lot of them lack GPS which is a deal breaker for me.

I cut down my micro sim to a nano sim but my phone isn't detecting it. Is the sim fucked, or do I need to trim it further?

LG G6 vs OP5

What do you guys think?

The G6 I can get is 430 EUR, no DAC but it has an unlockable bootloader.

OP5 is 500 EUR

>>61336165
It's not far behind S8 but the camera reviews I've seen (almost all) shows that U11 is better, also Samshit slows down as fuck after a year thanks to touchass.

Hey /g/, second Nexus 5x bootlooped and in the market for a new phone, the Huawei 8 looks like my best option and $330 is about all I can spend on a phone right now.

I don't care about speaker quality or SoT too much, just looking for a smooth experience and a camera that can at least compete with flagships. Is the Huawei 8 my best bet or should I be looking into any other phones. Thanks in advance /g/.

>>61336545
OP5 because the development of ROMs for the G6 is completely up in the air right now

>>61336817
what about the jelly and other memes tho

>>61336609
>Samshit slows down thanks to touchass
I'm not sure how this meme started, and I don't really care to defend the company or the launcher beyond this post, but I've had an S7 for well over a year and it's not even marginally slower than the day I bought it.

>>61335741
F-Droid and Clover were actually the first things I installed

>>61336545
If you want the quad DAC (and 64gb storage) you can get the korean version (LG G6 H870DS) for under €400, that one doesn't have an unlockable bootloader though.

>>61336811
Yeah, it's probably your best bet. Though LG G5 probably beats it terms of camera and is cheaper too

Unless it's SDXC and fast as fuck, apps will run like shit. Just make the SD internal storage too and save extra media shit there to clean up some space, BUT keep apps installed to phone storage. Just the apps.

Rock solid device, and I mean that literally, because of the multi-layered plastic composite display - IT IS NOT MADE OF ANY GLASS WHATSOEVER - it's shatterproof and I used to own one and I'd throw it at walls to prove it to people. Scuffed and scratched up the metal frame on it but it always did vastly more damage to the walls than the phone.

microSD card expansion, outstanding battery life, great performance, but it's locked down because it's Verizon for customization/ROMs, it is factory unlocked however for GSM operation which is a major plus and works well on T-Mobile which I use.

A great device, if you can get one in good/great condition for under $150 awesome, even less it's even more awesome.

Which do you think is the best custom rom?
My oneplus one running lineage died on me and im looking into alternatives

i dont think ill prefer random rom's anymore since they never ever get updated

I was thinking of getting a Nokia 3 as a replacement

Opinions?

>>61342425

Lineage works just fine for the OnePlus One, very fast, very smooth, no issues that I've noted. Sure there are dozens of ROMs out there but most of them take customization far too extreme, I don't want the fucking ROM to be that customized by someone else, I want a nice base like Lineage with some minor light modifications and then I add my own using Xposed or something, it's much easier and more useful that way.

Most custom ROMs nowadays should be considered as loaded with bloatware to be honest: yes they're still far leaner than most pure stock ROMs, but all the extra BS in them doesn't really help where a nice base like Lineage or pure AOSP (no fucking MLP pony horsey bullshit, maggots, no fucking kang BS either) is the way to go.

Wait till September for the new Sony flagship

If you really want to buy a phone right now, go for the korean g6, otherwise wait

When is there not a new Sony flagship just around the corner? And what could it offer over the XZ Premium?

Is it possible to find a phone under $200 USD on android that wont lag even when nothing is happening?

I want to use my phone to text people, browse clover, deposit checks, and listen to music on my SD card but my past two phones either couldn't do one of those or was slow as hell and kept having the 'too much cache' problem.

Does such a phone exist?

>>61345642
Yes

Could you perhaps provide a few names as well?

My Nexus 5X is having the bootloop issue that is apparently really common. I impulse bought a Moto G5 (Prime edition because I thought I was going to need a fast, cheap burner phone) last night, but LG just emailed me back offering to repair it for free.

Do I take the repair, keeping my Nexus 5X suspecting this I don't have long left until the issue arises again, or do I open my Moto G and resell/throw away my Nexus 5X? I liked my Nexus, but it was starting to feel a bit slow and low on memory.

Also its the G5+, if it matters.

Which is the best material for a case?
Jelly?

what's better: honor 8 or lg g5?

mainly care about battery, camera, gps

>>61346319
Repair the LG, keep the G5+ around for when the LG bootloops again

I feel like I bought a too powerful phone for just sending texts and messages. What the fuck can I do that would push my g5+?

LG V20 vs LG G6??

Or are they both going to boot loop on me after 3 months

Damn, I am glad you guys game me some insight on how Motorola rolls with Verizon. I think this means I will go with LG's G6. Unless anyone has had a similar experience with them holding back updates.

Honestly, if you want a good phone with a good stock room and tons of Dev support if you want, I'd go with the HTC 10/U11

>>61347212
Not him, but after owning a phone with HTC Sense 5.0, I will NEVER go back to HTC. I'd rather try an LG

>>61347276
What the fuck happened to HTC Sense? It used to be super light with the feed option, when did it all go wrong?

>>61346952
V20 but at that price you could get a OnePlus 3T

>>61347375

what? that's exactly what it is now.

>>61347542
I'm going based off what this faggot said >>61347276

>>61347590

well sense 5 was four years ago, they're up to "8" (they ditched version numbers after 7) and at present it's more or less stock with blinkfeed.
