nokia 7 when?

Bought my OnePlus5 two weeks ago. Had an iPhone 6 plus before.

So far I am really impressed how stable Android has gotten over the years (last Android device was a LG Nexus 5)

I have the version with 128gb and 8gb ram and everything is buttery smooth. The build quality is on par with the iPhone and the battery life exceeds the 6 plus.

The camera takes great pictures in good lighting, in low light situations the camera lacks OIS and is not as good as the one in an iPhone 7.

But the best feature for me is the overall design, it fits my hands pretty good and I love the litte details like the notification slider, the wood cases and some software goodies in oxygen OS.

8/10 would buy again.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out.
Makes me feel better about my 8gb OP5 purchase just now.

>>61477891
That price would be really stupid. Nobody is going to pay that much for a phone with last year's specs. Might as well just import a V30 for half the price.

Is the XZ premium the best flagship today?

>>61477937
ONEPLUS DID NOTHING WRONG

>>61477995
>Currently, the Q8 has only beenannounced in Italyand is scheduled to release sometime before the end of July. At an asking price of 600 euros (about $698), it is still quite expensive considering the age of the V20's hardware, which is almost a year out of date at this point.

>>61477937
I am choosing between the OnePlus5 and LG G6 since they cost almost the same in Sweden (S8 is 200 dollar more expensive)

Why should I choose OnePlus5 over the G6? Should I pay 200 more for the S8? Is water/dust protection worth it?

>>61477754
>futuristic
>4G

>>61478039
depends, if you have a fairly active lifestyle i would consider the 200 extra for the water protection. Also the screen on the S8 looks amazing, the OP5 can’t really compete with that, but I’m not really a fan of the design..

I didn’t take the G6 into consideration, but reviews indicate that it’s a pretty solid phone.

I'm getting a Leeco S3. Should I custom rom it? Or just use stock? I know how to custom rom it. Found instructions and it looks easy enough. But what do I get from custom rom? What do I give up from the stock?

>>61478208
>what do I give up from the stock?
An annoying, bloated, obtrusive interface geared towards a dead service

>>61477937
I bought the 6GB version and agree with pretty much everything.
I don't even care about camera that much so it's a win situation for me.

The reddit butthurt over Oneplus is also glorious. /ourcompany/

>>61478208
>But what do I get from custom rom?
Being on the latest version of Android, not having to use some bloated chink ROM

>>61478243
Why are they butthurt?
Heard something about not updating the OPX. Or is it because its a litte bit pricier than the 3T?
I don’t understand how you can hate on a company that’s trying to earn money on a good product.

Good inexpensive 6in phone for USA ATT?

>>61478506
lost hope for nokia when I bought a Lumia, worst piece of shit I ever owned.
And it wasn’t even because of WP7, the battery life and build quality was a fucking joke.

>>61478556

1020 was great. Too bad mine just died inside (fails to boot due chip, unrepairable)

>>61478039
buy the g6, much better customer support and mil-spec

>>61478827
I am afraid of the camera glass breaking after some reading on XDA. Otherwise, G6 seems like a really good phone.

Thinking of getting a pixel next week lads, get 30% off contracts so it'll only cost £25 a month.

Was thinking about waiting for the pixel 2 incase the price goes down on the old model and but judging by the news in the OP it's just gonna get discontinued.

It might be something like having clover and google play music open simultaneously and it'll heat up after about 10 minutes and start lagging pretty bad. I usually don't have a ton of apps open but it's little things like that annoy me.

How long i should wait for SD 450 phone ?

the only real innovation since the first iPhone is the inclusion of NFC chips. Everything else in smartphones has just been incremental improvements on preestablished technologies.

Aside from NFC what else are we carrying in or pockets that we weren't in 2007?

Hey lads. Looking for some advice/ suggestions/ education.

A little about me:
>American
>Verizon customer
>Currently have a Nokia Lumia 928 with upgrade available for quite some months

I've not actually had an android phone yet, but have been around them a bit I suppose. I'm not really displeased with my windows phone, but I definitely want something better. Much better. Especially now.

I've had it for years, and the time has come.

I run GNU/Linux on my main computer, and would like something decent for my phone now. I feel like the Verizon selection is, well, extremely limited. This doesn't really satisfy me because I feel like I have to choose from 5 phones.

Been eyeballing the V20 for a week, seems pretty good for me so far. I care a lot about audio quality and camera quality. I'm not an audiophile, but I am a photographer. I don't need a phone camera to replace my DSLR, but I would like a really nice one either way. Audio isn't a huge issue for me on a phone because I'd rather worry about the luxury on my main machine with my expensive headphones and quality files. But it's definitely a plus.

I've put a lot of thought into getting a custom rom, and would also like more opinions about the pros/cons of doing this, vs. stock. It's been one of the limiting factors, because I want to look at which phones they provide also have proper support for some decent/ standard roms.

All and all what I want is a powerful phone, great graphics/ cameras, high customization, and user control (read. power user). Preferably a good looking device, with good complementary options (read. custom rom support, high quality full protection cases, replaceable battery, expandable storage, etc.)

So that's the rundown I guess. Looking for some guidance and feedback. Throw it at me. Ask me anything necessary to aid your assistance.

Cheers!

>>61479436
Are you charging the phone while doing this? Are you gaming at all?

Anyone who has a HTC U11, are the Alexa capabilities restricted (i.e Can't control spotify or other music services)?

>>61477754
Will the bigger a73 cores in the helio x30 give it any performance boost for emulation? Considering upgrading to Meizu Pro 7 but don't want to downgrade from SD820.

>>61479580
no and no. it even heats up like crazy when playing music in my car if its in direct sunlight, whereas my iphone se does not.

Camera capabilities that outstrip most consumer-grade standalone cameras, obsoleting them
Computing power sufficient to replace a laptop for most purposes

You can't even compare the first gen iPhone to a modern version, they are massively different

Can't wait for the Samsung J7 to come out

So... the galaxy s5 is BETTER than the s5 neo?
Please explain.

>>61479526
Why don't you get a G6, a S8, a u11, or an iPhone?

Or you could get the LG Q8 with is like a V20 with waterproofing and a smaller screen.

>>61479487
Why wait for it? It's just a slightly weaker SD625, which you can already find in sub $200 phones

>>61479526
If you ignore replaceable battery which you pretty much won't find on any flagships anymore and the expandable storage Oneplus 5 is a good phone for you.

The camera isn't as good as S8 but it does the job and has a pro mode so you can shoot RAW and stuff, which looks a lot better than the normal photos.

Very customizable, rootable, fast and reliable. People complain about the design but I think it looks and feels good. Definitely a premium phone.

>>61479860
Might as well get the A5

>>61480055
...and costs €600 and is only available in Italy by the end of the month

Can someone give me a reason to switch back to Android from an iPhone?

>>61479526
Keep in mind with most smartphones the camera code (image processing etc.) is proprietary so it cannot be used in custom ROMs. That's why on most phones you'll see a downgrade in photo quality on a custom ROM, compared to the stock one.

Do they actually have and sell the Q8 yet?

Not a fan of the galaxy line, know several people with them. Never enjoyed using them.

iPhone? Yeah, how about no.

G6? Maybe, but why that over the V20/Q8 anyway?

U11? I'll look into it.

>>61480242
While I recognize this is a retarded question. What's the deal with availability and such? Am I not limited to what verizon itself claims to sell at it's own locations/ site, etc? If the phone isn't there, won't I have to buy it out fully outside of my verizon plans and make sure it meets radio standards for the network and all that shit?

>>61480242
Been eyeballing the Oneplus line as well, but have been retardedly held back by this assumption of vendor availability and simplicity as I previously stated. Though perhaps I'm not that big of a faggot, since I've only very recently started looking into new phones and exploring the option(s).

>>61480292
I'm sure they can give you many.

>>61480298
That sounds like a huge issue, and I'm sure there are many others like it. What's the rundown of what gets better, and what gets worse with a custom rom?

>>61479526
>>61480298
Also forgot to mention, all Verizon phones come with locked bootloaders which prevents rooting and installing custom ROMs, so if that's something you want to do you'll have to get an unlocked phone to use.

>>61479619
Just get one of the SD835 phones

>>61480292

>>61480321
OP5 won't work on Verizon

>>61480036
Kinda, the Neo is stuck with the exynos chip whereas the OG S5 came with a snapdragon chip, both are on par in terms of performance but the exynos is slightly more efficient with battery (we're talking a 10-20 minutes SoT difference, not a big deal), the Neo also has a better front camera in case you're a dumb 13 year old girl who takes selfies every 5 minutes, Neo's design was also revamped because a lot of people complained about the S5's back feeling/looking like leather and having small holes on it, now it looks like a generic chinese phone instead of having some style.

Software wise the S5 has a fuckton more third party support than the S5 Neo for you to play around with custom roms, kernels, xposed and all that shit.

I do not think the S5 Neo is worth it, buy the S5 or buy another phone.

German/Austrianfag here.
My only previous android phone was a sony ericson xperia ray and most recently I was using the lumia 1020.
I was eyeballing the Lenovo P2 because of the amazing battery but I can't stand having potato-quality fotographs on my phone anymore.
Other than that I just want to be able to play hearthstone and want to try out tinder.
Now I'm looking at the moto z play and the G6 and can't decide. Budget is not a problem and I heard it's almost impossible to have moto phones repeared in this place but I also don't want to mindlessly spend money for a flagship.

>>61478039
I actually just upgraded to a g6 from my s7 and so far it's been fan fucking tastic. the battery is miles better, no touchjizz, bezelless meme, dual camera meme. great phone and it'll take a smack or three thanks to both the ip68 and shock proofing. feels great in the hand, has a nice weight to it.

I fully reccomend it, though the v30 is coming out in August, so if you like lg, wait for that one see if it'd be better

>So what's the deal with there being roms for verizon devices specifically?
Well for certain older devices people have found exploits that allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

>Am I fucked if I buy directly from them?
Most likely yes. Like I said, with Verizon your only hope for root/custom ROMs is that someone manages to find an exploit, which might take years or never happen. Meanwhile you're stuck with a locked bootloader.

>Is the stock android decent enough to negate custom roms anyway?
Depends. Most people probably would be satisfied enough with having stock, bloat-free android. Though with custom ROMs you can keep your phone up to date even when the manufacturer stops supporting the phone. So even with stock android it's still nice to have custom ROMs available.

On that note, any word on how the LG G5 compares to the G6/ V20?

It didn't look so bad against the G6 on gsmarena.........

What's so much worse about it? I mean shit it's only a year old, right? A year old smartphone can't possibly be that shitty, just because it doesn't have the absolute latest and greatest as of 5 minutes ago tech.

>>61480657
That's sad, is there any dates on things like the ara or blokphone or whatever its called, or others that are "actually" modular?

Also with the lg g5, is there a backup battery to keep the phone on if you change the slide-out one?

>>61480926
New doesnt mean good though, quite a few phones are rehashed versions of older phones with minimal improvements so while the phone is a few months old, its tech is more like a few years old.

I don't mean the one your talking about, i have no idea about it, just saying in general

>>61480860
complete shit. only advangate it has over the g6 is the removeable battery and the v20 has that too. there is zero reason for you to go with a g5

Just so we're clear on this, it looks to me with minimal searching that the V20 from Verizon is 100% rootable and rom-worthy. Am I wrong? I keep seeing people do it and say it's possible.

Unless you're telling me 100% of these people buy the phone elsewhere, then merge it with the Verizon network or something, I don't really know. A bit confused about this whole process, looking for clarity and assurances specifically on the V20 model.

Probably T-Mo or AT&T

Any way, today I smashed my back up phone because some stupid preppy bitch decided to pull out in front of me while talking on the phone so I threw my phone at her car.

n e way, that lead my to look for a new phone today. Ended up just going with the S8+ even though i despise the fucking curved meme. $740 after tax straight from samsung.

Anyone have some direction for getting that pure android rom going? I bought it unlocked

>>61481138

>>61481506
It techincally isn't but I believe S8 is going to be the phone that sets bezelless displays and maybe even always on screens as the industry standard.

Already we are seeing the effects as the iPhone 8 and Pixel 2 are rumored to both have those features

My Galaxy S6's charging port no longer works. I've tried cleaning and trying several different cables and it won't charge. It looks damaged from the inside. I don't want to risk damaging my screen to change the port myself so I'd like a new phone instead.

Should i order the OP5 with a Spigen TPU case?

>>61481546
Don't think it's something LG / Verizon are concerned about enough to do something to stop it. If you're concerned you could always get the carrier unlocked LG V20 (US996) that doesn't need an exploit to have the bootloader unlocked. It'll work on Verizon just fine.

Sounds good, I assume you'd pay that out flat though to get the unlocked version, yes?

I should be fine with the standard verizon monthly plan version if they don't plan on patching in anytime "soon"

For people looking at the Redmi Note 4x it's a fantastic phone for a great price. Just to note, if you're interested in ROMs make sure you get the Qualcomm variant, not mediatek. I learned this the hard way, currently stuck on mm.

>>61481661
Could get a used Pixel

>>61481663
G6 or OP5 if it is available for you. I'd get the OP5

>>61481870
Yes, with the unlocked version you'd just buy it straight from whatever store, no monthly payments, then just put a Verizon SIM in.

So I could live in the other country, keep paying off the bill monthly, and buy into another carrier plan over there and swap sims depending on which country I'm in at the time?

Only major downside to this seems to be the potential dual pay for network plans, not necessarily any issue with payment or ownership of the physical device itself.

Where can I easily view the bands used/ supported regionally?

They're also launching the iPhone 7S and 7S+ that'll be at regular iPhone prices. iPhone 8 is the premium 10 year anniversary model so they're making it more expensive.

Can't you price match the 4/64 at Best Buy to $240 off Amazon? Several people have done it

Right now I have a Moto G 1st Gen and a T-mobile plan that gives me unlimited talk/text and 30MB (yes you read that right) of high speed 3G data per month (unlimited free slow as shit data though). The plan costs me about $40/mo. I am currently looking to upgrade both my phone and my plan since my phone is out of date plus I just cracked the screen and my plan is very woefully out of date (I've had it since I had a flip phone) and is a raw deal now.

I do not want a $600+ phoIne. $300 is my absolute maximum. I'd prefer to stay under $250 though. I am looking for a similarly priced plan to my old one as well. $40/mo or less ideally. Max $50. On verizon's site I see plans for $35/mo one line unlimited talk/text and 2GB of data. Is that good? Phone's I've considered are the Moto G5+ and the Xiomi Redmi Note 4 but seems like there's only one model that's Verizon compatible and it's 4G capable only so it's kinda putting me off. Price point is great though.

If you don't mind buying used, check Swappa, the v20 is cheap there, really nice phone

>>61479649
uhhhhhhh, I'm going to disagree.
You can hand an iphone 3g to a child who grew up on an iphone 6 and they'll still know how to navigate it and such.

yes 3g grew to become LTE, the camera has evolved to record and capture images that supersede traditional camera's, and processors have become faster and more advanced. But all those changes still serve the same general purpose and that's what is not changing.

I've hear anon's argument before from a friend. In essence it's still the same template where we've created something and then sort of stinted on that one tech.

Currently I have redmi note 3 Pro. It's probably the best price/performance phone ice ever owned.

I initially. Upgraded from a moto g lte 1st gen, so it was a pretty great upgrade which costed less than I paid for the moto g.

My question is, is there any phone comparable to the redmi note 3 Pro when it comes to price/performance AND has at least android 7?

>>61486156
Arguably the note 5 coming out soon, wait for its snapdragon version.

>>61481457
V20

>>61478022
In Italy you can have a G6 for 400€
Why marketing the Q6 and Q8, that are inferior phones under every aspect, respectively at 350€ and 600€ is really beyond me.
I like the Q6, regardless being the retarded cousin of the G6, but the Q8 seems made with leftover parts LG had laying around in a warehouse.

I'm glad everyone seems to like these. I just bought one for my girlfriend's birthday on the 30th. She's never had a new phone before and constantly gripes about how much she wishes for actual keys. I showed her a couple review videos a few months ago and she totally loved the concept. I'm excited to try it myself too. Would be nice if physical keyboards made a comeback. Time retire her old S4.

Is the G5 recommended at it's reduced pricetag of £270?

Hey guys I am looking for a new phone. I want to throw out my trusty Moto G1 (cracked screen, bad charger port, terrible camera, battery life and network speed).
I am currently looking at an Xperia Z1 or a Moto G2/G3. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations, I am only looking for the following things:
> 4G LTE
> Okay-ish battery, under a day is fine but I need at least 5 hours
> Camera should be decent not potato quality like my G1
> 5" or large
> under $150 in price, must be unlocked

>>61487192
Holy shit I just realized the Moto G4 is right under $100, is that a good option? So far it seems good. Anyone have any experience with it?

>>61487298
>Moto G4 under $100
Where?

Anyway also check out LeEco Le S3, it's $139 on Amazon

>>61487597
eBay, not new of course but theres plenty of around $80-120, most are $95+ though. Not the the highest specs of the G4s but still.

wtf! is that the new phone?

>>61487192
I have a moto G2, get a newer phone IMO, however, it works fine for pretty much everything desu. The only apps that don't work well are Snapchat and Facebook messenger although it is rare that it crashes. Battery life lasts me about a day, i think i get like 2 - 2.5 hours of screen on time and i dont have signal most of the time so that drains my battery a bit. Don't install cyanogen on it though, the stock rom is more usable -especially the moto camera app. My friend has a G4 and it is very nice, i would recommend that in all honesty.

2) You should see Android Phone under Other Devices with a Yellow ! mark on it.
3) Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software"
4) Choose "Browse my computer", then "Let me pick from a list."
5) If you see categories, select "Android Device", then select "Android ADB Interface".
6) The driver will install and you can now run the update with ADB.

Because most tech reviewers and normies don't know shit about cameras.. google for in depht comparisons and tests. It was trash

Because (((they))) don't want people buying dumbphones

>>61492395
Xperia X Compact, iPhone SE. Sony will also be releasing a compact-size flagship again later this year.

All things considered, RN3Pro is still king. Listen to me, retards... ALL THINGS CONSIDERED! Price, specs, official LOS support. You name it.

Also, cam quality on a slightly shitty day.

>>61484676
What's the deal with these issues?

Screen tearing?
Shit battery?
Overheating?

Is this usually bound by certain models, or by companies?

Either way, which models/ companies are these usually problems for, and which are they not?

Dude that site has the 1020 as one of the worst cameraphones ever with a score of 41.
And what kinda review is that?
2 shots with a few zoom ins
Idk I don't have any links with me, but while googling about the 950 i found this nice comparison:

>score of 41
That was in comparison to actual cameras

Here's the review in comparison to other smartphones (scores 74, 79 for stills and 64 for video)

Ok, still 74 for THE best cameraphone ever versus 88 for the shitty S7 come on, that site has 0 credibility bro
>>61492813
Thanks. It would seem that yeah the 950 is better than all the newer phones still.

If we choose between LG K8 and Xiaomi Redmi 4A, and they're the same price, which is better?
Xiaomi seems to be pretty well-regarded in OP links, but they're still chinks, right? Is there a chance of there being software glitches and stuff?

As someone who works fixing cellphones, don´t go for low tier LG´s.
It is always the touch screen going apeshit, or the battery shitting the bed, and only if it is not broken in some way or another.
And still higher end LG´s bootloops in some cases and have update issues, but with those you have warranties and such.
I only had a 4x that was a gift for my sister, the build quality was good enough and surprising for the price, and had a 4A on my hands that felt a little cheap (as it was lighter than expected) but solid and sealed enough, also the UI was kinda comfy and responsive, and holy fuck the price I did not believe until I got home to check it online.
Hope this helps in some way.

So can anyone explain to me why android smartphones won't work under linux, as in push custom roms and shit into them. Why is it always windows related?

>>61493333
You mean dominated? Because Linux is trash

>>61493346
idk man lol, just seeing iphone is apple related and works well with osx
windows phone is windows, pc only
android phone is also windows, pc only lol
Makes no sense desu

Anons with Honor 8, which case do you use (if any)?

>>61493320
Much, much better than mine.
>tfw only 8gig storage

>>61493333
What works on Windows that doesn't on Linux?

>>61493398
Considering mines advertised as having 32GB, mine sucks and I don't understand how the stock ROM uses 10-11 GB because it's barely different from stock android

Moto Z Play or G5 Plus?

Why can't I use an USB keyboard on my Alcatel piece of crap?

>>61493533
Starting that GB=/=GhiB
And space used for the OS is counted as ROM space anyway.

32gb android devices will have 20gb for the user

16gb will have 8gb for the user

>>61493624
Moto Z Play

>>61493646
My 16gb phone has 10gb for the user

Otg to USB dongle

>>61493625
Some phones don't have OTG support enabled

>>61493667
Depends on bloat ware apps and oem layers into the os

>>61493682
I have one of those.

>>61493646
Its there a solution for it?

Hmm....ran antutu benchmark tests and got a lower score than online benchmarks the first time I ran it. Reboot it and now it got a higher score. Like a 10,000 difference.

>>61493697
Except my V8 Pro doesn't have bloat ware

>>61480399
xposed is not even updated anymore. its abandonware at this point.

>>61493792
Nice blogpost, Rajesh

>>61493824
I saw im my GN feed there's a ZIP package out there for Xposed on 7.1.1

>>61493748
Install a custom rom.

However no devices have the GB they have marketed with.
See GB vs GiB to know why.

>>61493800
As I said it doesn't matter. You will never find a device marketed with 16GB having 16GB for the users.
Not android or apple

>>61493846
I realize that, but if I'm not using TouchWiz and my ROM is rather stockish, why the hell is it taking up so much damn storage?

Your phone was never 64GB to start with. They are usually 60ish GB flash memories.

This has been around since HDD days.

>tfw when rooted lg v20.

Feels good.

>>61493911
It's a 32GB advertised storage, I never said it was 64, I should have over 26GB useable space

Anyone know if Nexus 4 batteries are sold that won't fail in a month?

>>61493923
Now take out cache, system files and any modifications over the stock android build.

Just get over it, you will never get as close as using the full true storage

>>61493051
Would you suggest against the V20 then?

Oh the wonderful bootloop experience in two displays.

Display is pretty good. Kinda miss oled though. Software is good; better than TW for that matter. The camera can be wonderful IF you use manual mode; the auto mode is mediocre. Dac is one of the best in the market. Battery life is average . The second screen is kinda useless, though it's really nice for quick toggles. Rooting this thing was pain in the ass, however.

>>61494132
Thanks, this cheap thing its been more problems than solutions.

>LG UIX is good
Hahahahajshajaaa
>Batery life is average
Yeah, having 4 hours sot must be really average if not bad. I can only imagine it being worse than the G4 since it has to feed 2 displays and the dac

>>61494177
>Rooting this thing was pain in the ass
What version is it? Unlocked or some carrier variant?

>>61493982
Yes.
I´d say if you are to risk it by buying something that is known to(or may) have failures, go for something cheaper so you risk the least possible.
Soldering is becoming the bane of all electronic devices lately, from smartphones to laptops, passing trough tablets specially.

>>61493982
If you're going to spend the money to get a V20, you might as well get an HTC 10 because it's leagues better
