So, I decided to revive my Samsung S3. What's the lightest custom ROM out there for someone who will only use it as a dumb phone+ whatsapp and maybe telegram (which I'd discard for performance).

>>61726339
It's cyanogen mod's successor.
Not massively performance focused, but it's a FOSS project so bloatware is minimal.

If you are talking about their Windows Phone days, they made excellent hardware that was held back by a lack of apps for the Windows Phone OS and the unstable buggy early Windows 10 Mobile

Why can't there exist a phone with 8 gigs of ram, great charging solution and a QHD display?

bonus points for nice looking design, phones look like shit nowadays, round corners, all virtually identical save for a few chink phones and even then those ones specs are too great.

I have the OP3 and I still can't get rid of it. The 5 just isn't that good of an upgrade, especially for the jacked up price now. 8 gigs of ram is amazing and their charging tech is unrivaled, but the same generic screen, the same COMPLETE lack of good accessories (there literally does not exist a single tempered glass screen protector for oneplus, they are all horrible), that terrible motherfucking iphone wannabe design.

I want to upgrade but nothing is really worth it and if they are upgrades in specs then their price is usually in the $800 and fuck that nonsense

>>61727049
Did you do it? It's pretty good but the LCD panel they used is really cheap. I recently bought a Redmi Note 4x myself and noticed a stuck pixel after around 10 days. I'm still debating whether I should send it back to the seller for repair since it will most likely take 3 weeks to a month. And no, no xiaomi service centers from where I live. I suggest waiting for the note 5 and wait for reviews and see if it still has the stuck pixel / image retention problems. Apparently, the redmi line is notorious for it.

Help me decide on a new cheap phone /g/

I'm stuck between a Xiaomi Redmi 4X 3/32gb storage and a LG X power 2/16gb.

The Xiomi is slightly more expensive and overall better. But it only has a 3 month warranty from the seller, while the X power has 1 year warranty from LG.

There's also the Lenovo K5 plus but i heard that it overheats and has shitty battery.

Does anyone here has the 4x? If yes does it have overheating problems, shitty camera and video recording like i read in some reviews?

Are chink phones durable?

Left is xperia. Xiaomi confirmed chink dog eaters.

Im all for xiaomi now but battery life is better on xperia. they went head to head down to 70 % but now xperia is at 53% and xiaomi at 43%. Maybe I will get better battery life out of redmi if I remove chink botnet.(they're on stock, non-branded firmwares)

Here's a great example for why i should go with fixed manual config instead of full auto.
So i have decided. I'll stay with xiaomi. It has more ROMs, better hardware in general and I can't even use camera in xperia if I unlock bootloader(some """PROPRIETARY""" firmware key lock bullshit).

Btw. does anybody here had problems with amoled displays in Samshit phones? Mine has a yellowish white. It is terrible. And in some cases black and shadows are worse than YIFY torrents.

Who the fuck would place the buttons that way? Why would the back be on the right, and not on the left where it's the only logical place to be. Fucking chinks.

Now I'm out of options. What 5.5" chinkphone can I buy for $200 that doesn't have physical buttons (virtual on screen is better to me) ?

why does samsung insist on forcing this curved screen no-bezel bullshit down our throats? what is the point even? a thin bezel is good because I can get a bigger screen without getting a bigger phone. no bezel just means I have nothing to hold onto, it's prone to breaking, cases can't protect it fully, etc etc

no bezel phones have no advantage over thin bezel phones

What is really annoying is getting used to off-screen buttons. I wonder EVERY time if i missed them or not (No im not gonna use sound or vibration for button touch. Fuck you). It was easier to see buttons on-screen. They were glowing white on black. Neither of my phones(with off-screen buttons) have buttons with backlight.

>Z2 Force
>LG G6

Which one should I get?
I like Moto's stock Android and gestures and I have a Moto X 2013 so I feel more familiar with them.

However, apparently the Z2s low light performance sucks dick and the battery is lacking.

The G6 seems like a decent phone but I haven't heard good things about non-stock Android skins. Plus it's made out of glass, the Z2 is a tank. The G6 also doesn't have gestures which sucks because it's what I'm used to.

I think I should cancel my Z2 Force preorder and get the G6 instead, but im unsure.

My Lumia 735 have pretty good run. Replaceable plastic cover that also protects the sides is the shit.

Been thinking about getting an upgrade from my shitty Moto E for awhile now, but not sure what to get. I want a strong focus on high community support as I'm in to rooting and all that jazz and would prefer it not to be TOO expensive (maybe $500-$600 at most). I don't care too much about the camera though would like it to be at least decent. 720p screen at least. Carrier unlocked. Dual sim is a plus but not required. I was thinking about a OnePlus 3 but I'm not sure.

It's a bit more than a skin. Chink phone makers tend to take theming devices to another level - xiaomi fucked up notifications doing so.

I'd say go all out since you're upgrading. Get the S8 or Z definitely. If you're gonna look at reviews, careful of pajeet reviews. They are always biased towards either iphone or samsung for some reason.

YOU DONT LIKE INDIAN PHONE REVIEWS!?!:?! WHY?!?!

as you can see, there is very little lag on the menus, because as we all know, the menu system is the most taxing thing a phone can do!

I got first look at these phones at a trade show, allow me to wow you by talking about specs you already know and procede to do nothing but hold the phone and flip through the menus!

pinch zoom so impressive!

I'm going to play with the menus for several minutes and describe obvious features!

Here a synthetic benchmark that you could easily look up on google. Hands on reviews are NOT for real worl performance with a specific device!

Lets launch a app //// Okay, the app was taking a second or so to load so I cut the video. I dont want to give you any good idea of how the phone works, because reviews shouldnt be boring!

Heres a crappy game, as you can see it loads it very well, very smooth. Id show you a more taxing game, but Im being paid a million dollars to shill!

quad cores are so much faster than dual cores clocked much faster. heres a synthetic benchmark to prove it. Synthetic benchmarks are so damn accurate to real world use. I have the two phones, but comparing real world use by launching from a cold boot is too hard for me!

camera review? How about I take a picture of something thats in the room with perfect lighting? PERFECT. Lets not push it to its limits now. Maybe I'll take a picture of the desk! As you can see, the camera works!

It have sufficient perfomance, i dont play or whatever with my phone - i make calls, occasional SMS, and reply to e-mails, as well VNC my workstations to check the work while im away.

I need a new phone. I'm posting from it right now (so bear with me if the post is a mess, my broadband is down) and it's barely functional. It has been stuck in safe mode most of the month but still done something to eat my 4G. I can't change volume, or use half the features. I'm on Tesco but totally happy to switch. In fact I'd like a new better value network. I currently pay £5/month for 500mb.

My main questions are these:

1. Is an upgrade from an HTC One M7(current phone) to an HTC One M9 worthwhile? Will I really notice a difference?
2. If I order from Hong Kong on eBay, the m7 is £70, the m9 is £150. Is buying a phone from China ok or as dodgy as I assume?
3. Is there another phone in this price bracket that's better bang for your buck?

I use text, call, GPS, running apps, music and rarely camera.

>>61740093
you didn't realize it before because it really isn't a big deal. different phones have different placements for the power button and audio jack too and they have different overall shapes and sizes and ergonomics
>>
>>61737649
I also heard that the stock camera is much better than in Lineage
>>
>>61740150
I started looking at the LG G6, it seemed like a fitting upgrade from my G3. But what the fuck, the processor is literally less powerful and clocked lower than the G3. How does that even happen?

>>61737649
Yeah my dude. My Bluetooth icon is stuck on and never turns off. Bluetooth itself isn't on, but also never turns on anyway, so if you use Bluetooth often you'll have a hard time.
I haven't done comparisons, but I use Open Camera for photos.

The catch is LG knew they were finished in the NA market so they shafted us by giving us the version which has no DAC, no dual-sim, and no 64GB model. Like with NATO, NA consumers are subsidizing LG's other markets so they can stay competitive in them. If you're a yuro the only downside is you might have a bootloop trouble later on.

>no headphone jack so that you can't use your typical headphones
>no SD card slots because users don't want convenience

Higher clock speeds doesn't automatically mean more performance you tech illiterate retard. LG G6 is much more powerful than the G3. Just compare some benchmarks:
Antutu 6: 140,000 (G6) vs 50,000 (G3)
Geekbench 4 Single-core: 1700 vs 1000
Geekbench 4 Multi-core: 4200 vs 2400

In ten years, you'll be putting a gtx 1080 in your phone, and still playing the same shitty flappy bird tier game, but with crysis tier graphics and physics for your shitty mini game.

Power doesnt matter when all you get is some shitty consumption device. Touch screens will always be the shit that holds a phone back.

In the past 2 hours I've realised that, but I forgot about this thread, so that post doesn't reflect my newfound enlightenment. Thankyou for the comparisons.

Sell it and buy a U11

>>61740134
I already know that. Right now I'm content with an Exynos 7580 device that's way slower so I don't care.

>>61740723
The model I'm getting is the 64GB one with the Quad DAC (H870DS) since it's compatible with our bands . It also has the nice gold back/black front color combo.

What are the pros and cons of IPhone 6s thinking of buying it wanted /g/'s opinion
>>
I want to get my understanding of dual cameras straight.
They allow for fancy effects like wide-angle shots and crazy depth-of-field stuff, right?
If I install a custom ROM, does that kind of functionality break? Or does it depend on what phone it is?

From what I know I think I'd prefer a single high-quality lens over dual color+monochrome, but I'm not entirely sure.
>>
>>61741889
No, but i expected that. All guides on XDA say waiting is common when unlocking BL.
Wish they could go easy on us like google does with their phones. Just check "Allow OEM unlock" and be ready to go.
>>
>>61742013
The bootloader unlock permission and pairing time was meant to stop sellers installing their malware filled vendor ROMs on Xiaomi's phones. (Though as I've understood the sellers can bypass all that with a deep flash cable)

It was quite big news a few years ago when some security firm found out Xiaomi phones were sending data back to China. People were blaming Xiaomi until they found out it wasn't the official ROM but a third-party app in a vendor ROM doing it. But it still hurt Xiaomi's reputation so I think you can see why Xiaomi would want to stop it from happening.

Hey guys, I have currently a Galaxy S4 running on LineageOS and I want to change it because the 16GB memory is way not enough for me now and my screen has some issues. I'm in France, with 4G from Orange and I have a optic fiber at home so a good wifi and good R/W speeds are a plus. I mostly use my smartphone for watching movies and series, games, listening to music and browsing 4chan.

There's 2 phones that I'm pretty much interested in. The first one is the Oneplus 5. It has 128GB memory which is gonna be way more than enough for me since it always has been a problem for me on Android smartphones, good perf but apparently the speaker is shit and the software not that good. But it's pretty well priced for what it is.
The other one is the Galaxy S8. I like the S4 (apart from Touchwizz being shit but apparently they removed it in the S8 from what I learned) and it never gave me issues apart from too much hotness when running a game or movie in the top of the screen, some battery issues and of course the screen getting fucked up over time. It's still a beast but unfortunately it has "only" 64GB memory and I fear the screen will gonna give me some problems when watching a movie.

So that's why I ask you guys, what phone is better for my use between both of them? And if there's another phone that will be competitive to them for my use, please feel free to tell me.

It only protects from scratches, not from cracking. And even then, just regular sand is enough to cause scratches. The oleophobic coating will also eventually wear out.

they didn't, it's still the same shit

Is there a list of /g/ recommended software for Android?
>>
>>61725948
I've had this phone for a few months a Meizu m2 note, you can unlock it for custom roms, there is an option to unlock it in the settings (voiding warranty of course)
Even though I've installed a ton of shit and uninstalled loads, it still runs quick and snappy and I really have no problems with it.

If it isn't broke don't fix it? Or, install a new rom because battery life etc.

I keep it fresh sometimes by trying out new launchers (tried most of them) stuck to nova launcher though because it has all the features I want and is lightweight.

My favourite launcher would be z launcher if they updated it with more options.
>>
>>61743388
Would you recommend getting the phone or is it not worth it?
>>
>>61743924
Think it was a bargain desu £130. Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass (wanted to try out vr)
1080p. 2 gigs of ram. Love the thing.
It hasn't got a removable battery which isn't great but it's really slim, made sure I got a cover and screen protector before using it/carrying it around.
Even the stock Meizu app launcher isn't bloated and perfectly fine.

I need bands 1, 3 and 5.

I want NFC, USB-C and either microSD or decent space (64GB+).

Would anything be better than a Mi5s for this?

Yes, seems interesting, especially since it's rumoured it might launch with Android 8.0

OP3 stock rom rooted

>>
>>61744676
I was kind of hoping it would have an OLED screen, but apparently it'll be going with a 1440p LCD. That's not too bad though. I'm interested to see how the camera fares.
>>
>>61744716
There's several "night mode" apps that allow you to make the screen dimmer. I'm using one called Twilight.
>>
>>61744716
Just use some screen filter apps like Twilight or something. Btw how was the camera on htc 10? Does the off centered home button bothers you?

the other colors are more popular in china so they don't produce black/grey in large enough quantities for western customers and they get sold out. i guess you could look at mi6 and mi5s plus
