Soon™!

Axon 7 vs LG V20:

Axon:
>Capacitive buttons that don't take up the screen
>5.5"
>Loud front stereo speakers
>Nice loud amp with AK4490 DAC
Axon 8 may be coming out soon and may be better

LG V20:
>Removable battery
>IR Blaster
>Gimmicky 2nd screen but can be useful
>Nice and loud, has to detect high Ohm headphones to get there, but has ES9218 "Quad" DAC
>5.7"
>AMAZING camera and microphones
LG V30 will suck

Both are 2k, Snap 820, microSD, LineageOS support, and $400.
And I can't fucking decide. V20 clearly looks better on paper but the Axon 7 is sleek and sexy.
Help me...

Flip a coin. While its in the air, you'll know what you really want and nothing we say can change it

Best android phone overall? USA. Tmobile. Budget doesn't matter.

>>61413647
128GB Pixel XL

>>61413600
I love my v20 and would recommend it to anyone desu

>>61414189
Some questions about your V20:
What do you use the second screen for?
Does the LG double-tap lock, accidentally lock your screen when double tapping in apps?
How long have you had it?
Does it bother you that the Hi-Fi DAC doesn't turn on if you low impedance equipment?

>>61414302
>secondary screen
Spotify and quick access to flashlight and the remote for the ir blaster. It also shows recent apps but I'm not totally used to that yet
>double tap
I think the double tap lock is only on the home screen, not tapping anything anywhere at any time.
>how long
I got it June 24th.
>dac
You can turn it on manually and it'll turn on whenever you plug in any set of earphones.

>>61414368
Pretty sure the DAC auto adjusts even when you turn on Hi-Fi mode.

How is the battery life?
Does the LG software look ugly?
And what version are you running, because I'm pretty sure they are never going to update that phone again.

>>61413647
s8 plus or wait for pixel 2

>>61413647
Wait for pixel 2

>>61414411
Battery life is very good, I get home with about 50% after an 8 hour shift using Bluetooth for half of it.
I think the software looks fine, but I only have an old galaxy s2 to compare to for other Android interfaces and it's much better.
It's currently on Android 7.0, I don't know if it'll ever get an update.

>>61414522
They said they ended support for it already.

What are some glaring flaws or things you don't like? For me I can't stand the on-screen buttons wasting space, and that there's no side power button.

>>61414575
The side volume buttons taking getting used to again because I had a G3 for so long and got extremely used to the intuitive buttons on the back of it. They're hard to find by feel through clothes.
Sometimes the auto brightness doesn't realize I'm in a dark room, it keeps the screen bright as hell based on how bright the light from the screen is reflecting off my face.
The default LG keyboard was kinda rubbish and deletes entire paragraphs in a split second but that was solved with a different keyboard app

I haven't really had it that long yet, it doesn't have very many flaws to me aside from the volume buttons being small. Also, the camera is fucking excellent.

so far it's pretty comfy. came from an S4

my only complaint is how insanely strong the vibration motor is. I had to turn it off for typing. maybe I was just used to my fizzling S4 but holy shit

>>61414790
how's the battery life lad
im kinda stuck between this and g5 plus

I am waiting for my Chingchong Redmi Note 4 to arrive.

Did I fuck up?

m'u11 just received support for baked-in alexa complete with wake word support (unlike the chinkshit mate 9)

>>61413289

>second screen
clock and flashlight. i have it turned off most of the time when the main screen is on
>double tap lock
only locks when you tap the status bar so it's hard to do it by accident
>how long have I had it
about a month and a half
>DAC
the DAC is manual and works on everything
>battery
great, lasts for two days with my usage
>LG software ugly
kinda but it's easy-ish to ignore
>version
7.0
7.1 has been confirmed, I thinhk
>glaring flaws
The Sprint and Verizon ones are locked down so no root or LineageOS for me. The SIM card is kind of hard to remove. I don't like LG's white on black UI.
>on screen buttons
They aren't that bad, honestly. The screen is pretty big so I never feel like there's wasted space.
>side power
Yeah it takes some getting used to. I never have to click the power button though since just putting my finger on the fingerprint reader turns the phone on and unlocks it.

>>61416772
iPhone when you want to do something other than browsing Facebook.

What sd835 phone would you recommend if I'm going to use LOS exclusively? Stock is not an option. OP5 is already considered but I want options. Oh, and the headphone jack is a dealbreaker, I'm not going to use adapters like a fucking caveman from 2005.

Do any modern Android phones have a physical buttons? Have an S6 at the moment, thought about getting an S8 but there's no actual homebutton, do I have to just bite the bullet?

is there anything decent mid range for at&t that has physical buttons, expandable storage, and isnt a pain in the ass to get rooted?

Does no one on /spg/ own an Axon 7?

>>61417096
What do you value more? This bezels or buttons?

Meizu phones still have physical buttons, lots of chink phones do.

anyone know about zuk z2 pro custom roms? do they match the camera quality?

>>61413289
I've finally decided to go with a OP3T but they've been discontinued
Can anyone recommend where I should buy one?
I'm an ausfag if that changes anything.

>phone has a non-removable battery which holds charge for an hour or so
>got a family member an honor 8 for 250usd
>decide to take the old phone as a replacement
>4.3"

It is so tiny. My hands are cramping from typing on it.

7" phones when.

>>61413289
why has no one mentioned the OnePlus 5?

>superior processor
>all modern needs on a phone including fingerprint reader
>Open-source OS (OxygenOS)
>NO BLOATWARE
>3300 mAmp battery
>Dual Sim

???

Which is best smartphone to buy today?
I need to change my phone and I want the very best high-end that I can keep at least 1 year or 2.

>>61418065
wait for the new iPhone

A phone that either looks like Xperia or HTC one but is not too expensive and has no chink bloatware? I'm in EU. I want to buy off contract. Should be 5'5 or around that. I'm guessing ZTE axon is my only option even though it has chink software?

>>61418072

I was thinking the same thing but the problem is iOs. There isn't a file manager and everything pass through iTunes. Also I can't freely manage files

>>61413289
Op the term 'chink' is kind of offensive, i know you probably didn't mean it that wway but it in future OPs if you don't want to ruin the thread. This is not /pol/

Sharp FS8016 release when?

>>61418065
get the OnePlus 5

>>61418027
I just wish it was waterproof.

>>61418093
again, check out the OnePlus 5

>>61418191
true, but it has all the other features that phones that cost 100+ USD more have

>>61418027
$650 CAD without a micro SD slot.
so much for never settling.

Been getting into emulation on my phone lately and I think ppsspp is using the little cores on my phone.

In fact, the big cores barely get used at all. Is there any work around for this? Phone is a Zuk Z2 Pro running Resurrection Remix 5.8.3

>>61413600
I had a G3 and a G4, a friend of mine a V10.
All of them suffered of bootloop. All of them overheated. All of them had shitty battery life. The G3 overheated so much that the GPU died and I had the whole motherboard replaced. G3's first battery died and took the MicroSD with it; the second one swollen at the point that is destroyed the digitizer on the top and in the middle.
LG, never again.

Is there a not outdated recommended chinkphone link?

>>61418233
Girlfriends G3 got BSOD earlier this year.
Every time she tried turning it on the screen would just go blue and stay blue.

>>61418228
why do you need a micro SD card if you have 64 or 128 GB of ROM?

>>61418254
And what will you do if your phone dies? You can't exactly just unplug eMMC or UFS and plug it into your new phone...

>>61418239
yup, it is basically an iPhone with a better quality chip and a better OS

It even has the notification slider

>>61418254
I live in a country with shitty data rates in a region with limited WiFi accessibility. You know what else has 120 GB of storage? An Ipod classic from 2008.

>>61418275

it supports flashing from an external USB or even internal storage

>It's basically an iPhone
That's why it's not recommended. It's basically an iPhone without most of the benefits of buying an iPhone. If you're going to buy Android there's better and cheaper options.

>>61418317
I mean your fucking data. All those photos you've taken, music, videos. Your files.

It's so much better to just put your SD card in your new phone and continue where you just left off without worrying about data loss if your phone decides to fail on you.

plus 64GB isn't enough for everyone, 128GB isn't either.

>>61418231
ZUK 2 a shiit
Snapdragon a shit
i remember my zenfone 2 having better performance when it came to emulation

>>61418322
cheaper?

where I live any higher-end Android phones with the same specs cost at least 150-200 usd more than the oneplus 5

what I mean is the build quality from the iPhone is present in the oneplus

Is this the OnePlus five?

>>61418215
I know, that's why I got one. Just would be nice if it was waterproof. Not that I've ever had a waterproof phone.

>>61418350
There's the mi6 as well, or the Meizu Pro 6 Plus.
For example.

Both cheaper and better value "budget flagships" than the 1+5.

I haven't considered any 1+ devices since the 1+1, they just keep jacking the price up with each new release. I'd rather get a Meizu or a Samsung S7 edge.

Its been years since I've even considered buying a Oneplus product. I did get to use the Oneplus X and remembered the USB transfer to be horrifyingly slow. They cut corners on every part that reviewers don't normally look at and cheated on benchmarks. Couldn't pull of MIRACAST without dying. Now at over twice the price for a phone that still doesn't fit my needs, the Oneplus 5 is not a phone that I would ever seriously consider.

>>61418361
nope

>>61418027
>Same price as other flagships
>no Micro SD slot
>no headphone jack
>no waterproofing
>upside down wobbly screen
>shitty support
>shit speakers

It's a phone where if you drop at least $100 more you're going to get something with far better everything compared to the Oneplus5. There's really no reason to pick it when there's so many good alternatives to it nowadays.

>>61418065
HTC U11 or Galaxy S8

>>61418350
>>61418430
At that price the OnePlus just doesn't stand up as well against competition. When it comes to aggressive pricing Zuk seems to be doing really well with their Z2 being the cheapest phone with flagship specs.

Give them a few years and they'll be pricing themselves against Google or Samsung at this rate...

>>61418451
>>Same price as other flagships
It's still relatively cheaper than flagships. Mi 6 is about the same or more and don't compare it to older chinks. You could also go G6 for a while before it bootloops
>no headphone jack
U wot

>>61418486
You can get last year's flagships for the same price and get a superior phone.

>>61418462

thank you!!

>>61418495
You can get a Samsung S7 for cheaper even...

>>61415781
Don't get the LG G5 man. A friend ofine had it and hated every single bit of it after about a week of use. I'd rather go with the OnePlus 5 if they fix the screen issue.

>>61418531

I don't know how they did that but on 4chan on Firefox I'm only getting barely noticeable stretches on later elements like images when I scroll upwards very slowly and then abruptly change direction with high scrolling speed only to go very slowly after a few centimeters. And even then it's barely noticeable. I really don't understand how they got this crazy effect in the video. So no, I don't consider it to be the big problem everyone seems to have with it. If I wouldn't have seen that video I doubt I would have ever noticed it.

I've had this phone for almost 3 years now. I have my own rom and bought an extended battery that lasts for about 5 days with medium-heavy use.

I honestly don't see myself ever leaving it now that Samsung has discontinued the Note line of phones.

Honestly I still think they should try for a new Note phone. I tried the S8+ but it felt like shit.

>>61419301
http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/829171/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-release-date-price-specs

>>61419317

Holy fuck, yay. I thought they'd all but discontinued it!

That's great news. That being said they made some truly shit design choices with the Note that blew up (no removable battery, no sd card, no fun) so we'll have to see how the chips land before the Note 4 can finally retire.

It's not rape-shed slippery, but it's not exactly an easy grip either. I newly tried out the s8 and it was slippery as a motherfucker. You needed a titan grip to keep that thing in your hand.

What happened to the days where these producers would put a nice exclusive pattern on the backs of their phones to make them easier to hold? It angers me.

Alright.

Pros:
>runs very well considering that it's a slightly older model, games, 3D applications, ect
>easily rooted and has a lot of cool rom options
>the screen is fucking fantastic
>replaceable battery
>you can fire a memory stick in that bitch to expand it as much as you want
>good speakers that aren't place in awful positions
>long lasting, like I said, mine's 3 years old and runs as fast as the day I got it
>can take a beating, I drop mine almost every day - I'm clumsy

Cons:
>standard auto-brightness is a little on the bright side, get an app for this if you want more precision control
>stock rom is ooold, I advice getting a custom
>standard battery life i mediocre, a day tops - get a custom one like I did, mine now almost pushes a week

Thank you. I'm gonna try and find a good deal for one.
I'm replacing my half dead Galaxy S5 (which also had a Zerolemon battery) for a OnePlus 5.

I have busted Xperia Z3 Compact that I used as a PMP and an AP until the headphone jack and proximity sensor died

Need a new phone and it seems to have dropped in price a lot. Seems like a cheaper phone that will last a long time with iOS support but I'm not sure if its just too small or if you can get used to it easy.

Best phone aside from the x compact if you want a smaller phone.

Say I was from Europe, travelled to the States, bought a Pixel, travelled back and it stopped working (not sure if it's a hardware issue, whether it'd be covered by the warranty etc ,all I know is that it doesn't work). What would be the procedure for getting it fixed? Do I have to send it back to the States or does Google provide service in Europe, too?

Here's my review of the Motorola G4 Play.

>payed 133 Euros for it.
>first impressions: way thinner and lighter than my chinashit phone (Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo)
>battery is 2800mAh and half the size and weight of the 1800mAh chinashit phone
>minimal bloatware was installed (all the Google crap but nothing else)
>two sim functionality is nice (use one shitty sim to sign up for shit on the internet)
>camera is WAY BETTER than my chinashit phone (it's why I paid those extra 20 Euros)

Only bad things:
1. system upgrade notifications galore at the moment; all taking forever
2. it didn't come with a pair of cheap headphones which I count as a negative cause you can never have too many pairs of cheap headphones

otherwise very meh experience; which is good

>>61421161
And all of the world's basic bitches. Your point?

Is Moto G3 still worth currently?

Any experiences with LG XPower 2? I hope I remembered the name correctly. Need to get a new smartphone cause my LG G3 is dying, all I need is a battery to last me through a day of using GPS and listening to music through the internet and capability to keep three apps open at a time.

I'm not the one that brought the iphone user's demographics, so take your issue up with the anon i was replying to. he thinks the iphone is only meaningful to americans and chinese, which is clear bullshit and i was only proving him wrong.

my next phone will be between the note 8 and the iphone 8. i've been using the note 4 for 3 years and it's served me well, but the battery sucks, there's bloat and is very laggy.

the iphone has consistently shown to be a pleasurable experience for the user, which is why it's so popular. not to mention good battery and is almost never laggy. if i were to upgrade to the note 8 in august, i know i'm eventually going to have to deal with battery issues and a gradual decrease in performance over the years. i know that at least the iphone will not have these issues.

>>61421300
yeah i get it, tons of non-elite people use the iphone. which only shows that the rich and poor alike find pleasure in its experience, thus showing it's still a good all around phone. i honestly don't understand this argument at all.

V20 user whose run both stock and AOSP
>second screen
Kinda useless. The only good things about it is it'll switch the statusbar to it when fullscreen apps run so you'll get an extra bit of screen thanks to that. The signature slide looks nice, but really only use it for flashlight app, which is rare
>double tap lock
That works anywhere theres an empty space on your homescreen or status bar, like stated before
>how long have I had it
Since last year, September
>DAC
Works great, never had a problem with it, both on stock and custom rom, though custom rom has no toggle to switch it off, on all the time
>battery
I usually keep it connected to my Gear S2 for a full shift at work and come home with around 50%, and thats with texting, snapchat, and internet
>LG software
Ugly. But there are themes on the LG World app, and on the Play Store. Some are actually even decent
>version
7.0, though obviously AOSP will run on 7.1
>glaring flaws
Appparently no root on the new ones. No idea if theres a way around that. Camera glass is fragile, from what I've heard. Never broken it, but its scratched up a bit, which has never happened with any other camera on a phone before. LG software can be sluggish, though if you can find a V20 secondhand thats still rootable, AOSP is smooth as fuck
>On Screen buttons
Not terrible. nothing much else to say

I personally like the power button being on the back. Feels more natural and like stated before, with fingerprint unlock, its fluid to use

the note 7 and the new line of galaxy s phones have sd card slots. You're right about the battery, but for the little while I owned the Note 7, it never bothered me as much as I thought it would've after coming from the Note 4. And one of the main reasons for the Note line is the S-pen, if you're not into it, maybe another phone is for you?

Smartphones in general peaked in 2013.

Really? I thought the models were the same since last year.

Is this a hard phone to unlock the bootloader?
And does AOSP mess up the camera/second screen?
I hate that LG already dropped update support on this phone, and LineageOS takes away cam/2nd screen.
That camera lens scares me too. I have an S4 and the camera glass is super tiny and even that got dinged a little bit with an OtterBox. I would never get over a dot/scratch on pictures where the camera is the best part of the phone

>>61422446
Software updates have locked the bootloader down. Dunno if they've unlocked it since I last heard, which was a long ass time ago, I don't pay much attention to news other than updates to my ROMs. AOSP messes up the second screen. Since there is no "second screen" feature in AOSP, it stretches the image of the primary screen over the second as well. Devs just disabled it, so all you have is the primary screen. Someone is working on reverse engineering the second screen and apparently they've gotten somewhere with it, but it probably won't be ready anytime soon. The cameras work just like stock, both normal, front and wide angle. Though only a few camera apps, the stock aosp one included work with the wide angle camera.

>>61422856
I really wouldn't know much about the bootloader, since I unlocked and rooted the phone almost as soon as it came out and never looked back. No Manual mode on the camera in AOSP, remember you're dealing with the aosp camera, so its very light on extra features

>>61422906
its just asking for a google account to set up the phone

>>61422803
Get rid of it more than likely if you advertise that you found a lost phone someone will show up tryin to hit a lick but, will be shutdown when they have to enter the right account info.

The Nexus 6 was a cheaply built expensive piece of shit.
Insanely huge and unweildy, the display would turn dark pink when you turned the brightness down, shit battery, the letters that spelled "Nexus" would literally fall off, the thing was prone to overheating and exploding, etc.

literally the ONLY good thing about it was the dual speakers and (for some) the 6-inch display.

Damn well if all the new ones have a locked bootloader then it's a no-go for me on the V20.
And the Manual mode is what made the camera desirable to me.

I plan on rooting and flashing a custom ROM eventually, and the V20 has tons of awesome gimmicks that will all be taken away in the process.

>>61422808
There is no chink UI, it's so close to stock it might as well be stock Android, it just has slightly different options in the settings
As far as updates are concerned, ZTE pretty much only gives them to the Axon line, but I'm pretty sure it's update to Nougat was the last one you'll see from them, but the dev community is huge so Oreo might get ported to it

Got a Nokia 6 delivered today, it's pretty comfy so far my only complaint is the finger print sensor is a bit temperamental, the sound is good even with shitty Nokia buds and the camera isn't bad (comparing to my Lumia 930) paid 250 yoyos including shipping

This is true.

>Nokia's Lumia 1020, Windows Phone was still looking hopeful at the time.
I'm still content with my Lumia 640. I understand its shortcomings; however, I really don't need a lot of power out of a smartphone. I hardly do anything with mine besides read e-mail, text, call, etc. I refuse to use social media, so I'm not even irked about the lack of Snapchat. If anything, that's a feature.
That being said--when is Microsoft going to finally call it quits in the mobile game? Seems like they must be hemorrhaging money at this point. People see me use my Lumia and proclaim that they've never actually SEEN a Windows Phone before. Surely they cannot continue to produce smartphones much longer.

I am having issues with phone calls sometimes where there is no sound on my end. Idk might just be a ROM issue.

I know there is a bug with google play store, I would research more. Its like you can't update without a phone restart or something.

As for the good: its just a nice budget phone. Nothing is amazing about it but its cheap and does the job. I got it for $275 used

QWERTY/ full keyboard HELP

So Im kind of an oldman when it comes to phones. I need a new one and I text a lot. I like my physical keyboard.

I'd like a smart phone. I know my options are limited. Sliders are low on choice. I know blackberry, but they're a bit pricey. Im trying to guage my options. I know attachments are possible too.

What the fuck costs so much to make this? Is it Lenovo's proprietary license for MotoMods? Something like this shouldn't cost more than $75-$80
The point of a modular phone is to get people to completely buy into the Ecosystem, charging these prices is pricing people completely out of your product in general, they're lucky the Moto Z Play and Z are good phones in general

>>61426305
It's a niche product from a small start-up, so they dont benefit from economies of scale. If Lenovo themselves was making it they could charge way less.

Also, someone who really wants a slide out qwerty keyboard will buy it whether it's $80 or $120. It's not like there's many alternatives available.

If you want it to sell, whether you're the only name in the market or not, is to offer it at a price that will move units, otherwise your fucked because you still have to pay the factory, employees, marketing, etc etc
To price yourself out of your own market, which scuttles the market, is stupid

What's the most performance-cost effective Xiaomi phone right now? I don't have much money but my mobile games are quite demanding, my current toaster can barely handle it.

There's so much news about the Pixel XL 2, but do we know anything at all about the regular Pixel 2? I'm getting a bit tired of gigantic phones and kind of wanna go for something 5".

Is that one also going to be made by LG? I've never had an LG phone bootloop, though I've probably just never kept one long enough to see it happen, but I'm still really leery about it.

You realise they need to make a profit to do that? Doesn't matter if they sell thousands of them if they lose money on every item sold.

>>61426994
Obviously they have to price for profit, but you mean to think that board for a tactile keyboard and the MotoMods connection is that expensive to make? Fuck no it isn't, it's probably the licensing fee that takes a chunk out of the asking price because those boards don't cost a lot themselves

>>61427177
Have you ever taken apart a slide out keyboard phone? No? It's made with the same cheap shit they used for tactile wireless keyboard/remotes which cost about $15 off Amazon, they're not using some revolutionary new material, the only issue would be the proprietary connector for MotoMods
>>61427242
I'm actually going to have to agree with the other anon, get the Redmi Note 4 Global

>>61427307
This one? http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_4-8531.php
How big is the difference between that and Zenfone 2 Laser?
To be honest, I don't mind spending extra bucks if my phone can stay usable for 2 years, hopefully more. That was my mistake, I bought my current phone just on August last year and it can barely run recently-released games now.

>>61427396
The 625 is a good SoC and the Adreno 506 GPU is good as well
What games are you playing?

Can you recommend me a phone between 200-250€? It goes for my sister so no orders from China because she wants warranty.

>>61427422
Mostly 3D fighting games, with some parts of Live2D.

>>61427307
Those $15 keyboards are simple and usually pretty low quality, with the Moto Mod you've got the connector, key backlights and especially the slide-out mechanism adding complexity and cost

>>61427453
Not THAT much cost, not $120 cost
Maybe $20/unit cost, backlit keyboards don't cost as much as you think, and the slide out mechanism is plastic, why are you defending them?

Is the OP5 any good? It looks great for the price but I've seen shit about jelly scrolling and a mediocre camera.

What do you guys think?

>>61427444
And you expect to play them smoothly for $200? Seriously nigger? You better save some more and get a better phone

>>61427521
So, what cost should I expect and for what then? No, I'm not buying a Shield.

What rom should i put on an e980(LG Optimus G Pro)? Its not supported by lineage

What do you guys think of the Galaxy 8? Are there better alternatives? Would getting an S7 edge be a more prudent choice?

>>61427540
you need something with big cores like a 652 or 820-835

>>61427540
Well expand what brands you'd be willing to buy, I'm not asking you to buy a Shield, but phones powerful enough for what you want aren't cheap, look into
BQ Aquarius
LeEco Le Max 2
LeEco Le Pro 3

Mi5 or Mi5s?

Mi5s has more storage

Guys.

I just got my moto g5, and loved it until I opened up snapchat and tried out the selfie camera.

Ho lee fuck. That quality is 2005 flipphone-tier quality.

WTF? My Moto X Pure's battery life is totally & completely in the shitter, and I'm sick of waiting for the Nougat update, but the downgrade in camera is so palpable that now I'm thinking about returning it. This is bad.

>>61427615
>>61427644
Thanks for the info.
One last thing, is difference between 820 and 821 that wide? Mi5s uses 821 and is close to $50 more expensive compared to Mi5.

>>61427846
Moto G5 Plus* sorry

>>61413561
Mines coming in tomorrow. been using a flip phone from 2005 for the past couple weeks

>>61427884
Nice. Hope you enjoy it, anon.

>>61427866
No, the 821 is slightly clocked higher, that's all, but the 5s has more storage compared to the 5
Just get a Zuk Z2 Pro

>>61427915
Got it. Thanks.

>>61427307
>>61427453
Also once again you have to consider economies of scale, those cheap remotes are being made by some big Chinese company that probably sells hundreds of thousands of them. The Moto Mod won't sell anywhere near that amount, the potential market just isn't big enough (only a fraction of people own smartphones that support Moto Mods, only a fraction of those people would buy a slide-out keyboard)

>>61427506
>Not THAT much cost
>Maybe $20/unit cost
all you're doing is making assumptions and pulling numbers out of your ass and then claiming that's what something should cost.

The fact is, it's a niche product from a small start-up, that is relatively complex to manufacture. $120 is a reasonable price. Just compare it to other Moto Mods:
Hasselblad Camera $249
Insta-share projector $299
Speaker mod $79
Battery packs $59-79

>>61427713
>>61427915
>5s has more storage
Wrong, both phones have a 32gb, 64gb and 128gb storage version

>>61427988
The projector is retarded, and I doubt that Hassalblad camera is worth it

>>61428028
Better check again, gsmarena says only the 32GB model is available outside of China, 5s would be the way to go for more storage

>>61428070
gsmarena is wrong

Did you see the 4G frequencies? 3 LTE bands are all it picks up

>>61428161
It's wrong, it's not listing all the bands it supports

>>61413600
>LG
enjoy the bootloop and terrible gps

>>61428329
LG V20 doesn't have bootloops
As much as I don't like LG, this phone has so much good shit in it.

>>61420152

One theory is that Google is afraid of a potential success. If they create a super successful messaging app they would be challenging the very carriers that Android goes through.

So whats the best launcher I can put on my tablet that isnt Nova or google now?

I just want to organize shit in folders and nova apparently wants me to pay for this simple feature so they can go fuck themselves

>>61413600
Axon 7 my man.

new thread when?

>>61429142
This

>>61429142
What the fuck do you need a new thread for? Let this one sage out until page 10, like any other reasonable board/general does.

>>61428950
Why Axon?
V20 has amazing microphones, quad-DAC, removable battery, IR fucking blaster

>>61427850
Actually the Aquos is exactly what I had in mind but without the huge chin

>>61429296
V20 a cute

Who really fucking cares about an IR blaster? You still using a VCR connected to a CRT TV?

>>61429849
This is such a stupid post, please delete it

>>61429954
No fuck you
TELL ME WHAT THE IR BLASTER IS FOR AND WHY YOU SPERG OVER IT

>>61413289
Just got myself a new G6. What am I gonna love and what am I gonna hate?

>>61429965
Well it can be used for fuckery with any television for one, it's incredibly useful if you're into robotics.

I've got a question for you guys.

What's the point of those holes(red circle)? I thought that it's for the speaker similar to the one on the right but only the one in the green circle plays music, along with the one on the front. Should I be worried or is it just some cosmetic shit?

It's a Mate 9 if you didnt read the file name.

Alright I'm gonna be changing from an iPhone to android soon. Been using iOS all my life but I want to make the change to android since I want to be able to customize my shit more. What's the best phone to get for ricing currently?

I have a OnePlus One

Do I upgrade?

>>61430165
moto z2 play
stock android and a good phone ripe for tomfuckery

>>61430147
Just to make it symmetric

>>61430236
Alright thanks, almost had an heart attack when I realized.

>>61430191
if you like oneplus, get the 3t
if you like the newest shiniest thing, galaxy s8
if you like cheap phones that out perform flagships, moto g5+

>>61430191
Is it doing OK or is it a laggy pile of shit by now?
If it's doing OK, then congrats, you can keep your phone for a while longer. If it's a laggy pile of shit, it's best you upgrade.

About to buy an Axon 7, over a V20.

Am I fucked?

>>61430361
No

How do I rewrite an IMEI?

>>61430382
Y?

Whats the best phone/tablet for <$100?

>>61430331
It's working just fine to be honest, I'm just getting bored of it in a world of S8s and G6s

>>61430397
Zarias, stop, there's nothing wrong with the Axon 7

>>61430438
>DAC can only be used in poorly designed stock music player

>>61430469
Nothing wrong with the stock player

>>61430477
Yes but you have no option to switch and still keep good audio.
Also, even though it's CHINK it still has a locked bootloader

>>61430492
Have you even gone to XDA?

>>61430519
You still have to manually unlock it

What's /spg/ experience with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X? Just bought one and it's arriving in 2-3 weeks.
>inb4 you should have waited for the Redmi 5 to come out

Redmi Note 3 Pro is still /our device/.
