/spg/ - Smartphone General

My phone broke and I want to get the G5 Plus. Two questions:
1. Should I wait for the G5s plus around the corner
2. does the 64GB 4GB of RAM on the G5 plus make a big difference?
Currently the 2GB is super cheap at costco so if I can't find the 4GB for less than 299 I'll probably get the former.

Which one is the better phone for selfies,

Xperia XZ
or
iPhone 7 Plus?

I love Sony's design and I want the XZ in forest blue, currently I have Z3 Compact which I also love, except for the front camera which sucks.

I don't want an iphone, but in every camera comparison I've seen, selfies taken with the iphone look much better. It has less megapixels and the colours are less natural sometimes, but in all selfie comparisons it just makes people and their skin tone look better.

Selfies are my main concern, if not for them I wouldn't even need to buy a new phone, so which should i cop? Don't justify anything based on price, the rear camera or landscape picture quality, just the selfies.

Also, pls no "why xz, why not this other sony" or other bs, just between these two, which is better?

My sis just got her Huawei P10 and have used it for some days. She is complaining that the battery only last for like a day and that the phone gets really hot for just using facebook/youtube.

Is the phone like that or is something wrong with the phone?

Don't wait for the G5s it's practically the same.

How much do we think the Nokia 8 will be?

>>61850698
I can currently get the 2/32GB for 179 though. That's such a substantial price decrease from the 64GB model. I'm thinking of just waiting to see if a sale happens.

>>61850774
you can scratch the plastic screen with your nails

>>61850774
glass on smartphones can be more shatterproof than plastic, it's just an expensive process

Anyone here using lineageos?
Opinions?

>>61850853
Yes, LG G3, 29/7 nightly. My bluetooth doesn't work, but I don't use it at least.
Much better than any manufacturer Android flavour, but I haven't really used much else, so I can't really compare it to anything

I have an Xperia XZ, how do I remove as much bloat as possible to make it look as stock as possible?

>>61850764
Why is the lenovo P2 not on that list?

>>61850721
2GB RAM in $current year$ is pretty bad.
wait for the Moto X4 at least
http://www.androidauthority.com/motorola-moto-x4-specs-793094/

G5+ will get a price cut when it's out.

Anywhere I can buy stylish custom cases for the xa1 ultra?

Is it so bad to use a smartphone with an outdated OS? say Android 5.0 or whatever, I heard it's so bad so awful, but I just wonderbhow much of this is just FUD to scare people into the yearly purchase jew.

>>61850993
Because it's comparing flagships?

>>61851032
Only if it starts to lag

>>61851032
Android 5.0 was full of memory leaks and is one of the worst versions of Android. 5.1 fixed a lot of it.

Convince me out of wasting my money on a Google Pixel.

LG G6 or Galaxy S8?

>>61851136
S8

>>61851146
Is S8+ worth the extra money?

Whats the best unbloated android I can pick up as of late 2017 with on time updates?

>>61851032
5.0 stops using a virtual machine for each separate app, ditches dalvik and starts installing apps natively. This improved android's performance and reduced lag. In fact the performance in most cases doubled from what it was in 4.4. This should give you a perspective of how up to date android will always be better.
6.0 brings much better battery optimization and less memory leaks as the other anon said.

In general, up to date android (or any other OS) will be better optimized and have less security issues.

>>61851164
Depends on how much you can get it for. I wouldn't say it's worth it unless you need more storage and RAM, in which case OnePlus 5 is better since it's cheaper, doesn't use a meme resolution and doesn't bloat it's OS.

>>61851174
Google's phones. Pixel. Or wait for Pixel 2 which will be released sometime after they release a stable 8.0 which is soon™.

>>61851174
pixel, any nexus model, moto g5. I still carry nexus 6p and love it aside from the battery issues. If you go 6p route, be prepared to dish out for a new battery and install

>>61851412
Gotta say I love my nokia 5.

>>61851174
Just get a phone with a good developer community, and put LOS/other on there

Don't even think of chink phones. I got one. On settings it showed 16 GB internal memory and 2 GB ram. Android version was 6. Easter egg was MM flappy bird. However settings status bar etc were looking like JB. I was suspicious and download file manager to check and found out it had 1gb storage and 256 mb ram. Some app as easter egg of MM while android was 4. 4. 2. Best of all i checked engineering mode and the phone automatically booted with galaxy grand prime boot logo lmao.
Battery life is quite good though.

>>61851606
Brand and model?

>>61851664
i bet it's the xiaomi redmi note 4x

>>61851606
Chink phones == phones of shit quality and no planned updates or maintenance. This also includes Blu, InFocus and other brands which aren't chinese.
Chinese have some top quality brands (OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei), so you shouldn't spread misinformation about "everything Chinese is garbage". That misinformation was actually started by American brands and politicians in order to stop people from buying non-American brands and thus strengthen American economy. Even though most of them do actually use Chinese parts for their products.

Xiaomi tend not to pull that kind of shady shit. They are mainstream nowadays, one of the top 5 worldwide phone manufacturers. It's only the no-name chink phone makers that would try to lie about the android version or other specs

I currently own a Lumia 930 but want to change it. I want my next phone to have:
-metal body
-fingerprint sensor
- camera has to be at least as good as my current one
-under 350€
-beautiful design (no bubble shit like g5)

Currently I'm biased towards Nokia 6 but reviewers say its hardware (snapdragon 430) kinda sucks, which is a shame because it has a compelling price + stock Android. I considered Lenovo P2 as well, but I heard the camera is subpar to say the least. Another option would be Xiaomi redmi pro or Mi 5s. Xperia X looks tasty as well, but >dat battery. Wat do?

>>61852330
Honor 8 or a used HTC 10 / OP3T

>>61852330
Bq aquaris x pro

>>61850989
Erm, save TA keys, unlock bootloader, root, install Titanium Backup and remove the offending apps. That or install a custom ROM.

>>61852364

honor 8 has a glass back, and I hate glass backs. And I want it to be new

>>61852380

I'm afraid I don't like its big ass logo on the back (I know, but I want to like my phone at 100%)

These are about what I'm looking at at the moment

Any of you ever tested ulefone?

My LG G4 bootlooped.

>>61851261
and I suppose you can get past the outdated Android kind of issue with custom ROMs?

I was playing with my dads new iphone 7. And coming from a pixel owner that phone is bretty comfy to hold. I love how the glass stops and the sides are super smooth. The metal they use is also super soft.

is the new Sony Xperia XZ Premium any good?
Should I get it for 650€?

I have an Alcatel idol 4 and before that idol 3
I liked the fact that they offered great price( 240 eu) for really good specs and amazing speakers
The thing is they dont update often or fix some bugs idk why
Should I try another brand for a change?

/g/ays help me out. I have Nexus 5 that has worked great for me for the past 4 years. It's dying though, battery replaced once and the screen is coming out and the chassis is broken at the side buttons so i can actually bend the phone now. I like the 5" screen and don't need anymore pixels.

So I've been eyeing up the 5X, and sony's lineup. The Xperia X, X compact and X performance all look good to me. I'd like to stay under the $400 mark and definitely not more than $500. Anyone have experience with these phones?

Everything else seems to be fuck huge nowadays but i'm open to suggestions, maybe even arguments to get a bigger phone.

>>61853569

I am looking to upgrade. Pixel would be perfect if it had an SD slot.

Looking for $400 or less.
Debate: G6, HTC 10, Moto e5 plus.

Are there no phones that are out/within next 3 months that are similar to the GS5?

>headphone jack
>same build type, aluminum frame with plastic back

I'd prefer it not to be Chinese shit, but I wouldn't be opposed to it entirely

should i get a pixel xl?

>>61853830

>>61853842

>>61853887

>>61853862
Thanks. That's what I have been leaning towards. The soldering bootloop issue a true concern?

>>61853850
Wait for Pixel 2

>>61854082

naa, from the rumors so far, its shit

>>61854022
No, it only happened with SD808 / SD810 SoC's

>>61853816
So the only solution is buy a new phone every year like a good goy or nothing will work right, you'll be hacked by dumb script kiddies and so on?

>>61852036
very bad

>>61854173
>every year
Most non-shit phones get 3 years of updates. If you want something that will properly run LineageOS get WileyFox phones.
>nothing will work
>muh hacks
I've never even heard of an incident where someone's android phone got hacked unless they manually installed malware. Android 6/7/8 seem like they'll run fine without updates even in the next 5 years.

>>61853569
i personally love the aesthethics and build quality of the x performance

Should I buy a redmi note 4 now or wait for 5?

>>61850552
are there not crappy smart phones? like stuff that could replace my PC? I'm a developer who loves to do a bit of hardware hacking in his free time and I currently have an s7 edge, its slow and has all sorts of issues (looking into flashing or selling it) please advice <3.

>>61854422
If your definition if not crappy is being able to replace your PC then no, the entire smartphone market is one huge steaming pile of shit.
Or you could just realize that smartphones aren't intended to replace PCs and judge them on their merits as mobile, multifunctional helper devices instead.

>>61854422
OnePlus 5, XZ Premium, S8+, Xiaomi Mi 6

As for replacing your PC, a mobile device can't do that. The best you can do is install Android on your Laptop.

>>61854422
You could replace your pc if all you do is word processing/excel, email, web browse with a S8/+

Surprised to see that Samsung pushed out July 2017 security patches to the S4, didn't expect them to keep updating it

I'm looking to replace my Zuk z2 very soon. Is the iPhone SE worth it? I'll only be using my phone for calling, texting and music. I don't care about flashing roms or any customization

Thinking about upgrading my galaxy s5 to the lg v20, seems to be the best smartphone with removeable battery and sd card slot, and is also under £350. Thoughts?

>>61853214
I had that same problem, sent it to lg snd they replaced it only for it to boot loop again

>>61852010
The active series is the only flagship phone i'd ever get.
My friend dropped his s6 active out the window of my jeep while offroading once and it still worked. Plus the batteries are always great.

They fucked up the pixel 2 so badly im now considering an s8 or iphone.

Suggestion for <$450 phone (new or used), US with an AT&T-based MVNO? I'm looking to upgrade my CMDA Galaxy S4, so just about anything is better, desu.

I don't give a shit about the cameras nor external speakers, but I would prefer a device with hardware buttons, else something like the S8's (gimmicky?? but felt cozy) haptic hard-press home. Also, I'd strongly prefer a 3.5mm jack for Spotify and other music, but I suppose I could live with an adapter. Else, maybe I'll just have to spend more dollarydoos on a Bluetooth IEM,

S8 looks and feels godtier, but I can't justify full price on a student budget. THEN AGAIN: I just noticed they dropped the price down to about $580. I'm so fucking tempted.

Otherwise I might aim for a O+3T but those don't seem to be common on eBay.

>>61856405
Just get a Moto G5 Plus

>>61856405

Ok

How much differnece is there between integrated 2630 mAh and 3000 mAh battery?

I'm basicaly just chooseing between Nokia 5 and 3 now. only things I'm worried about is processing power/ sluggishness and battery life.

>>61858214
Shit software mostly. I don't know why they need to constantly reinvent the wheel.

If Android and it's features aren't good enough why not just make their own os? Stock Android isn't good enough so they put touch wiz on top of it, assistant isn't good enough so they made their own version, g apps aren't good enough so they made their own version of them.

Also they are shit at support in terms of software updates.

Also Samsung is South Korean when we all know North Korea is best Korea.

This is the only legitimate reason. I fucking hate gooks. Arrogant cunts who whine like little babbies to daddy US whenever someone hurts their feelings. I actually prefer insectoid chinks over them

What do you guys think of the Meizu Pro 6 plus? It's going for a nice price now, is the pro 7 plus with Helio X30 worth the wait or should I get the Pro 6 Plus with Exynos 8890?

>>61858560
Because gooks would declare it as an act of war for trying to replicate their industry and will the bring up 'muh comfort women' and how Japanese colonialism was worse than the shoah

>>61858560
they do have phones freetel is a major brand, and sharp is another one along with fujistu, the samurai kiwami is the flag ship phone out of all the brands, but they use stock android so install lineage os its only 179 bucks on amazon right now for the phone.

>>61858479
Go for the 5, the price difference is more than worth it, no just for better battery life but better performance too.

Thanks anon, How about Nokia 5 vs Moto G5?

I have a Redmi Note 3 Pro atm.
Great phone, only downside is the camera, really.
Options for a side grade of sorts, but with better camera? (This thing has a 4kmAh battery, which is why I bought it in the first place. Only need it for 4chan browsing, music while walking doggo, and camera for SC/IG (letting me down in this department)-- i have no need for performance, really.)

I looked up comparisons of the camera of iPhone 7 Plus and the Samsung S8. Almost all of the tests pick the S8 as the winner by only a slight margin due to its camera giving more satisfying colors. But personally, although I've noticed some raw pictures taken by the iPhone 7 Plus does happen to give kinda dull colors, this is easily fixed by simply applying filters which will then give it almost identical color balance to the S8.

Is all of this just blatant shilling for Samsung?

Currently still on LG G3 but I got a v20 lying around. The automode on the Camera of the v20 seems to be crap and I think it's a little bit large. Oh and no easy root for the dual sim edition. I know root has recently been achieved but yeah still waiting a little hoping things will get a bit more stable.

It would be the perfect phone for me if it had a good camera (auto mode) and was like 5,5".

There is some detail loss but not enough to get autistic over

Now can this optical zoom meme die so we can go back to useful dual camera setups like the monochrome used by Huawei and Coolpad.

>>61859092
S8 tends to make the colors much more warmer than they actually are IRL to make the pictures look better raw. iPhone on the other hand stays more true to the real thing which is why the pictures sometimes comes out duller than S8

>samshitfag on suicide watch

It's not about zooming in on a fucking carfan that is 10cm from the camera, it's about taking landscape pictures that you might want to zoom in on.

>>61858560
AFAIK, majority of their phones are carrier branded. You can unlock them, but they don't go out their way to have other bands that aren't nip.

>>61859306
Oh and it's my first phone with a finger print sensor ... what a fucking gimmick. Doesn't recognize my fingers half of the time. I can't believe they ditched the awesome rear buttons of the G2/G3/G4... for that. The volume buttons on the left side are a bit hard to reach imo.

How's that dongle working out for you? All I can say is that it's nice not needing one.

Water resistance has never been that big for me since I never put my phones into a situation where that would be a problem. I can see why people would want it though. I feel that right now they're holding off adding certain features to keep the price down, but as time goes on they'll be able to add more while keeping the price down.

reposting from the chink thread

My HTC M9 is dead. Previously I had M7. I was planning to pick up HTC 10 but decided to look here first. So can anyone recommend me some chink phone?

-metal/aluminium preferably
-decent (stereo) speakers
-solid, so no plastic fantastic or glass (i dropped M9 like two times a week and it still worked)
-camera can be shit
-specs, idk it'd be good if it wasn't slower than M9
-price doesnt matter for now
-screen size 5,2" max

i was looking on Axon 7 mini but it has piss poor old CPU

and Redmi 4 Pro but i read it's not impressive soundwise (doesnt have a dac), also one speaker

Any honor 8 users here ? Do you like your phones ? What do you hate about them ?
How is the camera performance ?

I'm thinking of getting one after I saw it with a friend.

Only real difference between Note 4X and Note 4 Global is the network bands, you want the 4 Global as it had band 20 / 800mhz which is used in almost all of Europe.

It'll come with the Global MIUI ROM so it's usable out of the box, LineageOS is there as an alternative if you'd rather have a stock android based ROM.

I have a Nokia 6, and so far I've been loving the 16MP camera for amateur landscape photography, and it supports RAW capture. Its low-light performance is pretty bad, though. As for the limitations of the SD430, I don't really notice for stuff like social media or web browsing (coming from an iPhone 4 it feels butter-smooth, but that's the difference 7 years of hardware improvements make). I don't do any phone gaming, so I can't tell you what that's like, but I have noticed that it chugs a little on heavier third-party camera apps and Snapseed photo editing.
