LG V20 or the ZTE Axon 7?

I need good audio quality, and would like to be able to do a simple root and put LineageOS on it later.

>>61371239
Axon 7 all day. No boot loops or retarded second screen

>>61371253
The only thing keeping me from it is that it's ugly and is a chinkphone.
How does a phone with literally everything cost $400? I want a prettier phone like the Huawei Mate 9, but apparently that phone has shit audio.

Any Axon 7 owners who have had theirs for a long period of time? Is it worth getting in mid-2017?

Any considerations I am missing?
Is there a way to get LG G5's with the bootloop issues fixed? I am leaning towards the G5 a bit, it has pretty much everything I want, just a bit worried about the battery size.

>>61372111
Just buy a spare battery or two

My phone (xperia XA) just upgraded to android 7.0 nougat. Now my default contacts app does not have a feature to only show contacts with phone numbers. Now it literally shows every contact I've ever e-mailed or talked to in messenger, etc.

What's the best 3rd party contact/dialler app?

The Note 4 is quite bigger than the 4
You're confusing the Redmi 4 series (4X, 4, 4 Prime) with the Redmi Note 4 series (Note 4 (Mediatek) and Note 4 (Snapdragon))
The Note series have a much bigger battery than the other ones since they're somewhat bigger

>>61373278
OP3T unless your'e a benchmark fag.

MiUI is a junky POS, and the Mi6 has no 3.5mm as well.

HTC U11, Oneplus 5, LG G6, or other?

I currently have a G4 and love it but it is starting to show its age and I am due for an upgrade.

I am in the US and have ATT if that matters.

>>61373278
Mi6 has better performance, camera and battery life, OP3T has better software (though he Mi6 will eventually get custom ROMs developed for it)

>>61373340
Wrong

Redmi 4, 4X and 4 Prime are all 4100mah. Redmi Note 4 is also 4100mah.

The cameras on the rugged Blackview BV6000 are so bad it might as well not have any - but they do provide updates for it. Just installed a new one today. I'm actually a bit impressed that they ota updated from 6 to 7 right when 7 came out and still provide updates for it.

Weight and size and in practice no cameras are drawbacks with it, but they do provide updates.. rare, considering they released two more BV's after this one.

>>61380086

P8 lite (original from 2015) has the old android and other flaws like the autonomy as you pointed out (2200 mAh vs 4100 mAh), it's still pretty reliable though but clearly outdated.

The redmi 4x is very recent (6 months old IIRC), has a way better autonomy and more functionnality/better connectivity.

So I have a few questions that sorta relevant to this topic.

If phones have usb type-c
-Do they charge faster than quick charge models?
-Can phones with type c stream video like hdmi?
-If my mother board has a usb type c slot, are transfer speeds faster than usb 2.0?
-Also, can it fast charge from the type c port on my mobo?

If you look up reviews of the doogee mix cameras are shit and the software is buggy and gay. First review I looked at the guy said the phone rebooted while he was recording video with it for a review.

Bong here, have half a grand to drop on an android phone preferably. MicroSD support is preferable, but not necessary. I was thinking about the OP5 but I'm hearing it has a myriad of issues so I'm not so sure. Right now, it's between the G6 and OP5. What do

>>61384031
I'd go with G6. Despite the old processor, waterproofing is too important to me. Also the wide angle lens and tall screen are pretty cool too I guess.

I have a RN3P that has CM13 and I wanna install LineageOS 14. Do I still need to install the firmware this https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154 ?

>>61384031
I'd go for OP5 or OP3t. G6 might start bootlooping in a year

Does anyone here use lineageOS or another third-party ROM with a xiaomi Mi5 or Mi5s and have android pay working?

>Moto G5 Plus 32 GB drops to $199, 64 GB model to $249

If money were no option, what would be your first-ever smartphone, /g/?

Are there any smaller phones out theere with lineage os support? I have the feeling that I need at least a 5 inch device if I want a non botnet phone.

Any smartphones that look like dumbphones around?

For reference, I have a Sharp Aquos SH-M03 , I fucked up and bought it based solely on specs and the fact that it had felica. The fucker lags like shit despite it's decent specs, battery life is shit, and the build quality is shit too. I only switched because my xperia x3 compact died (the back plate also started coming off).

It might be nice as a backup device or for sports. A good 4 inch device however can easily be your main device if you aren't playing games all day long on it like a fucking retard. If that ain't the case, there's literally no reason, why one would want to carry a 5.0+ brick of a device around that wouldn't even fit in a pocket (normal sizes, not amerifat).

Looking for a new phone and I keep coming back to the LG V20.
Camera means fuckall to me since I don't take pictures, and I like that it has a removable battery. If I got it I would most likely get a second battery for it to mitigate what's apparently a less than stellar battery life.

Thoughts/suggestions /spg/?

>>61388319
I have been debating between the Axon 7 and the v20 myself.
Both have DACs, but I don't really know in depth which one is better and which one is properly amped.
Supposedly there is a new Axon 8 coming out, so I'm holding off for that.

But the V20 has that IR blaster. And has LineageOS support (which kills the second screen)

>>61388319
You can get an extended capacity battery for it too, there's a 6400mah one and even a 10,000mah one

>>61388403
Axon 7 also has LinOS support

>>61388440
One is a big square that sticks out from the back of the phone, and the ZeroLemon case is literally the worst one ever made

> I try Power + Vol Down. Doesn't work. Phone is turned off.
> I turn on the phone, I get the message (as usual everytime I boot) "your phone cannot be trusted- if no button is pressed, phone will boot. press volume keys for more options"
> I press the vol. keys and I see recovery. I press it, screen goes to black. And that's it.

Why do these stupid companies always put glass backplated on their high end smartphones like it's something worth paying extra for, when all it does is collect more smudge and become more slipperly and fragile, it doesnt even look good.

Plastic backplates look better, they are easily replaceable, they are cheap and they would reduce the production cost and overall price a ton. It fucking bothers me, who actually likes the glossy ugly glass back?

Trying to get Lineage OS on my Samsung s4 Mini, I had the same issue on Linux so I used a windows 10 PC instead and got the same issues. I tried to compress the log of the print-pit from heimdall below.

>heimdall print-pit --verbose

USA, T-Mobile, ~$200 or less and really just need something with an okay camera and 4G/etc. I've had a samsung galaxy S3 for like five-six years now and its camera is long gone and the home button's cracked off and shit and I get out of apps by pressing the tabs things

>>61390933
Moto G5+ 2GB/32GB would do you fine

>>61390969
>Nokia 6
Isn't the Nokia 5 already >200$

>>61390871
can i just write over the 'previously written' recovery?
or do i have to somehow erase it first?

>>61390994
>>61390969
also I heard the Moto G has ads on it that true or nah
if so is there anything I can do to get them off

So, my S5 died today. Should I go for an S8 or are there better options? I want a phone that last at least 5 years.

>>61391061
so if you want to stick with android, go op5

LeEco Le S3 / Le Max 2
Honor 6X
Redmi Note 4 Global / Redmi 4X Global

>>61390995
Nokia 6 is $179.99 with Amazon Prime, $229 without

>>61391050
Only the Amazon Prime exclusive version has ads. They can be easily removed but the bootloader cannot be unlocked so no root/custom ROMs.

>>61391028
Yes, just write over it.

>>61391050
It has ads if you buy the Prime Edition from Amazon, those can be taken out through adb though

Best cheap user-friendly smartphone?

New Thread when?!


>>61391214
Define cheap

>>61391229
>Define cheap
Cheap enough I won't mind throwing it out if I don't like it.

Had Nexus 5x, bootlooped for the second time, did a bunch of research and Honor 8 looks like my best bet. Anyone here who owns one could tell me about their experience with it? Also looks like $329 is the lowest price I can find for it, is that correct?
