I wonder if I should have waited for the Moto G5S+ rather than get the Moto Z play really cheaply (250$). Oh well.

>>61689514
>that pic
looks like companies are turning to Samsung for designs to copy

>>61690175
Get an agm x1. It's rugged enough to shit with, and the battery is huge, or even better get an agm x2 pro for the most up to date specs, microsd slot, huge battery, and rugged durability.

>>61690046
The Z Play is better unless you care about the camera

Honor 8 did it first

So my Samsung S7 edge screen is fucked, but the rest is perfect. Should I fork out the cash to fix the screen, or buy a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 for 3/5ths of the price to repair my Samsung screen?

wtf why don't more phones go with vibrant colors

>>61690553
If it's cheaper to buy a used S7 than to fix your current one then it's not worth fixing

>>61690489
Great, because I'm not a photographer and its good enough for me!

First renders of the YotaPhone 3 came out.
It will have mid range specs this time: Snapdragon 625, Adreno 506, 4GB ram, but up to 128GB os internal storage.
Starting from $350.

>>61690553
>>61690630

It's very slightly cheaper to fix my S7e than to buy a second hand mint one.

But a lot cheaper just to get a Xiaomi Note 4 to see me through to my next upgrade

>>61690539
so Chinese companies are the in-thing

5.5inch full hd screen and 5inch 720p e-ink screen on the back.

>>61690821
Probably not worth fixing then

redmi note 4 vs mi 5x?

>>61690946
redmeme note 4

>>61689685
It just makes me wanna wait for the 660 version. When's the note 5 coming out, chinks?

Should I get a Redmeme Note 4 or the Axon 7

Worth paying extra for the superior phone?

Had that idea as well, i did it when changing from mini to micro, worked fine. But it doesnt seem to fit with micro to nano, the metal parts are bigger than the holding mechanism.

you telling me that they still dont have webm support in iOS10? This is ridiculous.

dear /spg/, I need advice:

-looking for chinkphone (Huawei, Xiaomi etc) with Android
-should have 4GB Ram
-Dual Sim and MicroSD with 256GB storage possible
-Camera should be """"good""""
-Should have 3.5mm headphone jack
-Preferably not a phablet, unless same spect with smaller size is more expensive

Basically, whats the cheapest phone that meets these conditions?

>>61694291
Nokia 1011

>>61694214
But that is a phablet. And my note 5 just broke, which is why I need a new phone in the first place.

I don't want to use the phone for watching TV or excessive browsing. And a large screen drains the battery faster, is heavier and easier to break. In fact, I would prefer a phone with a removable battery - not because I carry a second one woith me, but because the impact of a falling-down phone is reduced when the battery pops out, so it does not bend and break the screen.

>>61694336
2/2

Unfortunately the only phones with removable batteries and 265gb microSD-slots are from LG and cost 400 Euros and I am more in the 250 Euro range.

>>61694336
Buy Redmi 4 128gb version, it has a non removable battery though.

I have an "upgrade" this month and I've been thinking about switching to android. What would be an a better choice from iPhone 6S+? Note 8 or G8+. I'm with T-Mobile if that even matters.

>>61694361
Moto G5 has a removable battery

>>61694920
>Moto G5 has a removable battery

i take that battery out and smear it on my face

so good

>>61693822
there's a Safari wrapper app called Merlin that opens webms inline. There's also a 4chan app called The Chan. Both cost money (like 1 or 2 bucks iirc) and aren't anywhere as great as Clover but if you absolutely must phonepost on iOS they're your best bets.

>Motorola G5S+
>G5S+
What the fuck. Why do we need every other phone to use a variation of the same naming convention? Could be Samsung or Apple for all I know

>>61695951
they've become far more egregious than Apple in their naming schemes since Lenovo took over

>>61692495
OP5 is all that except for unreasonable battery requirement. Battery life is pretty amazing anyway though. You elitists will probably complain about camera though. I've never had a better one before but I've been using only cheaper phones before.

still worth it to buy lg v20? am I gonna regret it when the v30 comes out?

Get a 6600mah battery and enjoy

>>61691573
S7

>>61697144
V20 is old and V30 is just around the corner, if you don't want to wait just get a xiaomi

>>61696244
I expect V30 will be better due to software, screen, waterproof, HOPEFULLY battery life too.

But if removable battery and the second screen seek cool to you, you probably won't regret it.

Idk

>>61689685
Basically a Redmi note 4 with Type C, Dual cameras and a downgraded battery. I'll pass.

why are they making it so hard to just buy a fucking phone?!?!?!

I don't want new service because i pay less than $30 a month, but this is pissing me the fuck off.

>>61693931
nope, htc are made in Taiwan.

>>61697531
Not worth it buying a Pixel at this point, especially at full price, as it's almost a year old already

>>61697531
Order unlocked ones online maybe?

>>61697531
get an LG V20 for $350 to $400 brand new unlocked. Pixel a shit. Either that or the LG G6 for the same price unlocked.
>inb4 bootloop

This problem affected the V10 and G4. Long since fixed.

>>61697531
They don't make money on the phones, they make money on the service, you dipshit.
Why would they even bother stocking unlocked phones if they're not gunna make money?

>>61697617
>Not worth it buying a Pixel at this point
i don't want the pixel 2, no bezel displays look stupid and i will not buy a phone that doesn't have a headphone jack.

plus i'm on fi so my only options are pixel, or find another nexus.

why no rumors/info on the Axon 8, is ZTE even making it? The Axon 7 is over a year old now.

what can I expect from Galaxy Note 8? just a bigger Galaxy 8+ with stylus?

>>61697638
>Order unlocked ones online maybe?

1. phone dead, so i'll just be stuck with no phone for 3-4 days unless i want to spend too much on shipping.

2. the pixel isn't locked, no one sells it locked. if you buy it outside of google it's boot locked which just means i cant root it. i don't plan on rooting it so it's not a big deal.

im pretty sure the sales guy doesn't know what he's talking about. why would target be the only company to carrier lock the phone, when not even the actual carrier locks their cellphones?

>>61697674
Wasn't Moto X4 coming to Fi?

>>61697757
never confirmed, but that comes later in the year if it does.

>>61697749
why didn't you just buy the "locked" Pixel from Target and return it if it didn't work

Is a Galaxy S6 worth it? Seems pretty good and it is within my budget. And until now I had to suffer with 1GB of RAM, so I want a significant upgrade in performance.

>>61691008
>>61691608
This. An Axon 8 mini w sd660 would also be acceptable

>>61697790
No, it isn't.

>>61697804
What would you recommend then?

>>61697531
why not just buy it on amazon?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY3OB8D

>>61697779
i'm gonna go to the other target later and do that. i honestly don't even like the target i was at anyway, i only went there because the verizon store was in the target parking lot.

i honestly don't see how verizon couldn't sell it full price, because the website even lists it full price as a prepaid phone.

>>61697772
Why later?

There have been so many leaks about it lately I wouldn't be surprised if it's unveiled next week.

Right now I'm using my old nexus 5, and it checks all my boxes : qi charge and not too big. Is there a possible upgrade for me?

Axon 7 users is the device still usable (2 years?) after release?

>>61697891
no.

>>61697841
They should sell it full price

Tell them they're dumb cunts and they either sell the phone to you or you threaten to take a shit on their floor

So is the Redmi Note 4 just a meme? Or is it legit good. I'm really thinking of getting one.. well, the note 4X. Or the Mi Max 2. Or the Mi5s. Fuck so many different variations, goddamnit.

the individual scores are directly in line with other flagships, and the overall rating was low because of standby battery drain which was patched (and if you're really this autistic about battery life you can flash a different kernel such as the one with EAS)

Shouldn't video drain the battery faster than web browsing? Or are they viewing locally stored videos and not streamed? Even then I think web browsing shouldn't be as draining as video playback.

A73 in Helio X30 vs A53 in Snapdragon 820.
Which will be better for emulation? And why?

>>61693603
You'd be surprised, it's gotten much better, you just need a phone with Band 12 instead of stupid chinese bullshit that has no compatibility with the network.

It's of vital importance.

>>61701210
Snapdragon 835

>>61701374
Most Snapdragon 835 phones are overpriced, have so 3.5mm port, or are shameless iPhone knock offs.

If you can suggest one phone that isn't any of those I'd be grateful, but until then I'll stick to the 820/821 or Helio X30.

Nokia 8

Friends phone took a shit. Can't receive calls from some people and can't sent emails unless on wifi. MetroPCS is the carrier. Dunno what to do as a reset didn't change anything so I guess we're looking for a new phone.

Basic needs are expandable memory and current Android. Under $200 is basically a requirement here. Located in USA

Had a chance to give this bad boy a whirl tonight. Surprisingly lightweight for a phone of its size and the screen had some "pop" to it. The $650 price isn't bad for what's on the inside, but I'm not sure how much I'm gonna use the VR/AR features if I get one.

Redmi Note 4X

Anyone got experience with this phone? It's cheap as chips and seams to satisfy my needs reading through the specs. But, specs can only tell you so much ...

I wasn't expecting this.

Why buy an underpowered SD625 phone when you can buy a Le Eco Le 3 for $112 with an amazing Helio X20 or Le 2 for $120 with a powerful SD652?

Does the Redmeme Note 4 support SafetyNet and Fate GO with the global ROM?
I'm reading conflicting opinions on other sites

Is there any documentation on porting Lineage OS to an UNSUPPORTED device, everything I find is just how to build it from source for your already supported device. I need to know the process from the ground up. I have a device running on Marshmallow and one of the Google Play Services updates has broken play services and they haven't fixed it in later revisions, I'd rather just port the latest version of CM anyway but I have confidence that would also fix this problem. I have access to the kernel and android source from the phone vendor.

>>61706849
if it's really mint, probably the oneplus 3 because of the specs

>>61706986
There was a guide for CM but the servers are down.

Energy Efficient yes but Underpowered for the mid range. Energy Efficiency can be fixed with charging it every night, while being Underpowered cannot be helped.
