/spg/ - Smartphone General - Nokia 8 Announcement Edition

>>61931918
>Google Pixel 2 shows up at the FCC with Android 8.0.1, Active Edge squeeze feature
Well, there goes buying that fucker. I'll never be able to get a case for it. Guess I'm getting the Pixel 1

So will the Nokia 8 be good?

>>61931987
Why's that? Wouldn't think the squeeze function prevents using cases, the HTC U11 has cases for it right?

>>61932008
I've known two HTC U 11 users, both had cases.

Also, both people turned that shitty function off.

Does Android O/8 have a built-in night mode filter?

>>61932007
Hopefully yes. If the price leak was real it'll be priced slightly above 500€ which would make it competitively priced against phones like OP5 and Honor 9, and much cheaper than phones like iPhone 7, S8, Pixel etc.

best phone coming through

Waiting on Nokia 8 before deciding that or the Meizu Pro 7 plus.

Was kinda hyped for the Helio X30 but it seems to be able to keep up with the SD820...

Does the SD835 have much better single thread performance than the 821?

>>61932224
My primary concern is emulator performance.

Thinking mainly PSP which runs well enough now but could be better, and possible GameCube in the future.

>>61932033
But a case wouldn't prevent using the feature?

>shitty function
Eh, it's nothing groundbreaking but I could see it being handy. Have it open the camera or turn on the flashlight for example. At least it's reprogrammable and can be turned off unlike the Bixby-button on S8.

>>61932224
>>61932243
If it's mainly for emulation then why not the OP5?

Is lineage for mido stable?

>>61932165
I agree. It was either the mi6 or the op5 for me. If the Nokia won't cost significantly more, it might fix the issues both of them had and will be perfect.

I don't give a fuck if they switched to Android, not going to get burned by Nokia ever again.

>>61932187
Meh

Not much for iPhones

>>61932224
The SD835 has much better single threaded and multithreaded performance

Geekbench 4.1 single core scores for the 835 are in the mid 1900s range while for the SD820/821 they are in the 1700s

Snapdragon 840 when

>>61932445
Yes

im currently using a LG X Power and it's fitting me well, I absolutely love the battery life as well it's a 4,000mah battery. Storage is good i want to say it came with 9GB of user storage, the only down side of this phone is there's no root available to remove bloatware even though the phone has been out for a year. Another downside is it randomly freezes and acts stupid at times but what can i say? It's a $100 phone and don't expect much for it. This is currently my backup phone but not sure what to get later on

>>61932557
Your suicide when

>>61932746
edgy

>>61932528
The scores are skewed a bit due to the fact that it has better integer performance but worse fp performance. So real world performance is actually even better.

>>61932557

100$ - 150$
Long battery life.

non-chink phone as much as possible

Moto E4 Plus
5000 mah battery and unlocked for GSM networks

>>61933091
For 170 there was an LG X-power with 4100 mAh.
It did have LTE iirc

What phones compete against Moto G5, G5+ that are around the same price tag? I like the G5 except how it looks so I wanna see other options.

>>61932007

Anyone here have experience with both Lineage and Resurrection Remix?

Which did you find to have better battery life?

>>61933100
Moto are basically chinkphones under Lenovo, especially the low end models

>>61931918
Is Nokia going to be the king again?

>>61933896

Not until Nokia 9. It has everything.

I will be buying my first phone soon. I haven't kept up with smartphones and I'm not aware of what's good or bad anymore with so much variety. I am indecisive between Pixel XL and S8+. The Samsung because it has superior hardware, and the Google one because it has stock Android. How important is the OS in smartphones? Is TouchWiz UI and all the app suit still as bad as it once was? Should I even consider a botnet as a personal phone? Should I be waiting until October for Pixel 2? Thank you in advance for any kind of opinion.

>>61936792
Excellent display. Quite speedy. Good speaker. Decent overall. Only two small issues are the small amount of storage and the mediocre voice transmission during calls, since Samsung decided to not install a secondary noise-cancelling mic on it.

Should I go with the Chinese or the pajeet botnet?

Are screen protectors necessary?

On my S5, I noticed my screen protector got scratched really easily. One day, I decided to take it off. So after a few months without a screen protector, my screen had ZERO scratches. It looks as good as new, even though I always put my phone in the same pocket as my keys.

So anyone else go without a screen protector? Does your screen scratch up or not?

/g/, my klwp essentially stopped responding to my touch buttons when MIUI updated earlier today, at least when it comes to launching apps from screen.
I get to pause/start the music, but i don't get the animation with multiple screens, nor can i launch applications from my screen. I used pic related.
Anyone with chinkshit encountered similar problems?

Are S7s still good for their price range?

Which ROM should I flash on my Redmi Note 3 if I'm looking for stability and I don't care about customization?
Searching on XDA is terrible because of all the broken english and threads with little to no feedback.

So far, I've seen three roms being recommended - LineageOS, RR and NitrogenOS.
Part of me wants NOS because it's maintained by a russian dude and not a random pajeet.
And what about custom kernels?

Can anyone help me?

>>61937990

>>61937150
What Price and where can I buy it?

Burger here. Just went from vzn to tm. Nig at the shop says I could go to vzn and lease their newest phone. Bring it in with a bill statement and they will pay the difference. Is this true? I was on mummy's plan and she's not canceling. Just terminating my number. Does anyone know stipulations to this? Would it work? I'm using Moto g4+ and it's nice but a free new phone is appealing.

Reposting from old thread because no responses.

So, is hardware degradation (hardware other than battery) still a thing or has that been mitigated with newer technology?
Can I expect my new phone to gradually become slower over time? I use it a lot for games and it tends to get mildly warm, but never uncomfortably hot unless I use it while it charges.

>>61939283
Yes

>>61939446
If you mean Android phones, then it depends. I mean, Samsung phones used to have HORRIBLE RAM management. I've had a Sony Z3 for a year and a half, and it runs as-new, despite the paltry 2GB RAM.

I don't know if Samsung phones have changed, but most mainstream phones with 3GB RAM with a Snapdragon 6 series CPU should be lag-free for as long as you own them.

But if you game, you'll want an 835 CPU. Just remember to clear the cache every so often.

>>61939641
How's longevity on Moto phones?

>>61939668
They're now owned by Lenovo, and the new designs are a bit different, but I don't see that being an issue in terms on longevity.

I looked at the Nokia 8. Still waiting for better review of its camera, since it is probably the one thing the 950 performs better than pretty much anything else. Will look into those chinkPhones tho

All those phones should have a fairly competent camera to be honest.

I've got a Zuk Z2 Pro though if you're looking for camera samples. The camera has received a lot of updates since it came out.

You still shouldn't expect great low light pics though regardless of the phone because of how small the sensors are.

>>61942487

Anon if you don't mind me asking. Do you play/emulate games on it ? And if you do can you tell me more about it such as battery life, what did you flash it with (is it hard to do) and whatever else comes to mind. Please. I'm trying to decide if I get this phone as my first phone ever and it being chinese is putting me off a little.

>>61933100
>>61933103

how's the audio/video playback on these?

not the same anon that requested recommendations but my needs are pretty much similar to his.

this one?

https://www.amazon.com/LG-Screen-Battery-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B01LW17GUU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502937674&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+x

>>61942809
Yup. I emulate PSP and n64 on it. Most PSP games run smoothly, the third birthday, dissidia, and FF IV for example. FF IV surprisingly maintains a greater than 50fps average most of the time. A few games are barely playable though, Naruto ultimate ninja heroes runs in the mid to low 20s fps range which is borderline for my and the stuttery audio kills the experience, and I had a friend with a 1+3t who couldn't run gangs of London on his phone smoothly despite having a slightly stronger SoC (SD820 VS 821).

N64, SNES, Gameboy, PS1, etc should all run better than PSP though. I have yet to test dolphin for GameCube though. Currently using an Ipega controller.

tl;Dr it works great for emulation with the exception of a few more demanding titles.

I mainly play on the way too and from work. An hour and a half commute of playing PSP games usually costs me around roughly 20 percent battery, maybe a tiny bit more. Around 50% brightness usually.

I'm using Stock ZUI but if performance is ever an issue there's an overclock got can apply which bumps up the SD820 to the same frequencies as the 821 while also favoring performance over battery life. When I did that, the battery life dropped to around only 4-ish hours SoT though.

>>61943173
Womp womp, I bought it anyway ;_;

>>61943173
I have yet to find any use for my phone for it to use more than 2GB or RAM at once at any given time.
What can you even do to reach that other than having seven bajillion apps or browser tabs open?
I only use browsers, Clover to shitpost, the occasional YT video and emulators. I close things down as soon as I know I won't use them for the time being. That's about the extent of "intensive" usage I do and I almost never have apps reloading.

xiaomeme note 4x qualcomm y/n?

>>61936301
something by oukitel, k6000 pro maybe

>>61936885
hard call to make rn. S8 has far and away the best hardware but as someone who owns one it's not even possible to exaggerate how much Touchjizz blows. but the pixel is also so far behind in design and hardware that Sammy's bloated POS almost seems worth it in comparison, which is the problem.

IMO wait for pixel 2. As long as they make *some* improvements on the original design, pack an 835, and don't fuck up the camera it'll be golden.

>>61943156
I'm literally using one right now.

You want me to use a dongle? This isn't 2004 anymore, I thought we'd progressed past that stage over 10 years ago. Why would you want to buy nonstandard and inferior technology?

>>61936792
like the other anon said, it's pretty much golden hardware-wise, the only things to watch out for are a strictly mediocre camera (front and back), slower-ish print sensor, and last generation touchwiz (it still blows on the S8/Note FE, but it blows even harder on budget devices like the J series). It works and it's stuffed to the gills with features, but I guarantee you'll hate using it in less than a week.

Should I get a 1+5 or wait for a Pixel 2? Currently have 6p but have battery issue where it dies at 20%.

>>61943314
K6000 plus you mean?

Thank you very much anon. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Hope your z2 lasts you. Also do you use any phone cases/ screen protectors for it ?.

>>61937435
depends on the phone. I own an S8 and figured "fuck that shit I never even put it remotely near something that could scratch it and it's Gorilla Glass" but in less than a week my screen started looking like someone left it with a toddler and a knife for an hour. Meanwhile my friend's iShill 6 is still looking like the day he bought it even though he's used it caseless, protectorless for 3 years.

ask around and see what other peoples' experience is to see if you'll likely need one.

>>61939104
As an S8+ owner. Top fucking kek. Even with all that shit you're railing about (which is nowhere near valid) it still would be better than this POS

>>61939446
if your phone mfg has a cancer spotted ballsack of an OS skin that takes exponentially more RAM with each update (basically just sammy), then probably, and if that's not the case then not really.

I'm running a Moto so I'd say I'm OK on the no bloat software front.
I trust that it will remain just as swift as it is now, if not forever, at least for a long while until I have to shop for another one anyway.

>>61943374
google has not made any official statement on this yet and most of the credible leaks are also mum. given how hard they marketed the presence of a jack for the pixel 1, it would be borderline retarded to backpedal this soon (especially considering they don't stand to gain from non-3.5 audio accessories like Apple does).

Just a standard glossy screen protector because I managed to crack a corner of the screen (not big enough to justify a replacement and not on the screen so it doesn't bother me).

Also a TPU case because they tend to protect it better than the hard plastic ones and take longer to get dirty.

Currently using an Axon 7 and I'm curious about Lineage OS. Does anyone know if the dac and stereo speakers work with Lineage? I hate MiFavor UI.

>>61943576
Oh I already use different launchers, I'm just interested in changing the rom since I feel like these launchers are only masking bad software and maybe even making the phone slower.

>Android
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Android,
is in fact, GNU/Android, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Android.
Android is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Android, and these people are using it, but it is just a part
of the system they use. Android is jus ta layer: the set of UI and system libraries
that sit on top of GNU/Linux and provide things like window and app management.
The UI and libraries layer is an essential part of a mobile operating system, but
useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete mobile
operating system. Android is normally used in combination with the GNU operating
system: the whole system is basically GNU with Android added, or GNU/Android. All
the so-called "Andorid" OS is really just a distributions of GNU/Android.

One issues I forgot that I personally found a little annoying.

Honestly, my s7e is still getting regular updates and looking at the specs I'm not convinced to upgrade my phone for such a minuscule update.

On the other hand, I could probably get more money for this now if I sold it before updates run out. As my s7e is an exynos variant, it doesnt have same custom rom scene as snapdragon version so after samsung quits updating this I'm a bit out of luck.

What's a decently priced android tablet that you can get ?
>200$-300$
>7'-10'
>mainly for reading books (epub/PDF), and watching movies.

Current phone: xiaomi redmi note 3 pro
Country: US
Network: Any GSM
Features: good battery life, sd card, fingerprint scanner, not slow (good cpu I guess), able to not slow down during multitasking, good US support (real tired of limited US bands from Xiaomi)
Price: 300-500ish

>>61933249
Outside Lenovo and Xiaomeme Samsung has the A3,5 and the J7 in that price range. Budget Samsung used to suck but they're fairly decent now. But it all boils down to what you want and where to compromise

>still no nokia 7 announcement
I'm getting impatient here

>>61946169
But why?

So guys I have a Nexus 5 (2013) and just bought a sick pair of Carl Zeiss Jena 10x50 1977 binoculars so obviously I'd like to try and use them together.
Can you recommend a universal binoculars adapter because sooner or later the N5 will kick the bucket and I will need to buy a new one (Pixel 2 maybe?)
Thanks

>>61946169

>>61946656
Too expansive, $250 in my country.

>>61946705
Moto e4?

>>61946714
Just as bad. Let's lower the maximum price to $120.

It doesn't have to be a great phone, I just want something decent for the price so I can call people and use the internet.

Is there a reason to pick a Moto E4 Plus over a Redmi note 4?

>>61945947
Samsung, Huawei or Lenovo are the brands worth looking at.

>>61946785
Maybe stock Android but you'll be better off getting a g5 at that price or a g5 plus

>>61946742
Look for deals on old flagship you could get a really good phone for that much as far as New phones go you shouldn't waste your money on anything below a e4

>>61944062
Nah the S8 is a fantastic phone. I didn't like samsung phones before the s8 and now that I own one, I find it perfectly fine with nothing to complain about.

What does /spg/ think of the LeEco Le S3?

>Helio X20
>32GB ROM
>4GB RAM
>3000mAh battery
>5.5 inch Full HD Display
>21MP Camera
>Type C plug

Would this last me a year? Would the Helio X20 have sufficient single thread performance for PSP emulation?

Is the camera sufficient for point and shoot in daylight/indoors?

I like the big processor (don't care about core count but beefy A72 cores), I like the 5.5 inch screen, I like the metal body, I like a lot of things about this phone, including the 160 aud price tag.

Is it worth it?

>>61935175
I got the Uplus the previous version of the X and its pretty good.

Best privacy OS for the HTC 10? Looking to have no google interaction. Thinking LineageOS, but don't know about anything more obscure.

>>61945947
MI PAD 3

>>61946887
The specs look alright, what's the rom support like, cause le ecos software is pure aids

>>61942873
Yup. This one.

It's quite decent for the price desu. Nothing too special, decent screen, decent sound. 124$ is a steal

>>61946987
It's Mediatek so ROM support should be shit, but I don't really care about custom skins and shit as long as it let's me access my apps and files easily enough.

Would the ROM have permission issues?

>>61946742
Moto C

>>61947023
The rom will be quite bloated and the Ui quite bad, what's the lenevo /moto phone in your range.

>>61946705
What is your country.

I want a new phone, since I've gotten a bit more money, and want to have to stop explaining my chink phone at clubs and to my friends, however,r I don't want to spend too much, I think that £450 is a good limit, but with this budget I'd be going for a phone on ebay.

Has anyone here ever bought a phone off ebay, and if they have did anything bad happen like the imei get locked, or manufacturers not honoring warranty?

(I'd probably be looking towards getting either an lg g6 or a s7)

>>61946866
Just compare the specs and get the one that looks the best. Get something with a recent version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow at minimum but 7.0 Nougat preferably. Resolution should be at least 1080p. 2gb RAM is pretty much a minimum requirement, 16gb storage is workable if there's a SD card slot but 32gb would be preferable. HDMI out is nice to have too.

What am I in for?

>>61947067
Between these 3 I'd choose the Nokia.

The screen is REALLY good for it's price.

And also I cannot recommend the J1 to anyone. It's such a shitty phone.

>>61947067
Wew, you should get the le eco it's a good deal

>>61947079
Bootloops

>>61947079
I've heard good and bad things about this one.

However I've never actually seen it in a store, and even the LG promoters at the store I used to work as a Samsung rep were like "Man for it's price you're off better buying a second hand G5 or G4".

So yeah.

>>61947085
>>61947089
The Nokia 3 looks good but the whole appeal of the LeEco is how cheap it is for what I'm getting.

>Helio X20 vs SD430
>FHD vs HD screen
>4GB vs 2GB RAM
>21MP vs 8MP camera
>Type C vs Micro USB
>$160 vs $250

Is the LeEco the best within that price range?

>>61946861
How are you getting it that cheap? That's the price of the 4A.

I like mine. Fingerprint scanner fails me 30% the time, I'm still using MIUI because I'm a pussy and too scared to flash.
About 8 hours of SoT by 20%, previously I got 12h SoT but I didn't put my sim card in and that had MIUI optimisation turned on(I think it kills apps). I don't game much so I can't comment on that.

So my HTC One M9 just died on me (HTC, never again) and I need a phone kinda desperately.

I was all but convinced on the Redmi Note 4 but then I thought that it was released one year ago and, isn't it outdated by now? Hasn't anything as good been released for that price yet?

>>61947122
>le eco le 2 for $90

>>61947122
My issue with LeEco is that even if you're getting a beast, the cameras are lacklustre even if they're big in the MP department.

Also 250$ for the Nokia 3 is a scam. I've seen it for 140e max. Steer clear.

>>61946169

G6 is a nice phone with a lacklustre screen for all the hype they put out.

Fantastic camera, but it focuses on stuff slower than de S7.

It depends on how much you're willing to put up with TouchWiz desu. I used the S7 for a full year and I loved every second of it.

The camera is amazing and the AMOLEd screen is just superb.

I hate shilling for Samsung but in the high-end department they have pretty much no one even close to them.

>>61947277
>Through microUSB? or through USB C?

Doesn't make much difference unless you're planning to be gaming on it.

Well I've currently got a Zuk Z2 and I'm pretty happy with the camera, it can't be much worse than the Z2 camera, could it?

I had to return it twice in the first 5 months because boot loop. Back then I didn't even root it or anything. It just fucked up on its own twice.

After that, one time I ran to the bus station and the phone had a crack on the screen. FROM THE INSIDE.

It wasn't an actual crash, it didn't fall, nothing. It had an internal crack. I'm guessing because of the heat? No fucking clue.

And when I called them they offered me a new E5 if I paid 150€. So I told them to shove it.

And after that I started working for Samsung at a retail store. I helped the BQ guys to shill their shit sometimes, but the amount of returns and refunds we had to give for those was ABSURD.

The M5 2015 had a 90% RMA rate.

90 fucking percent RMA rate.

The X is lower, but it still gets returned because they talk about it like they're selling a cheaper S7, and the quality is just not there. They're good if you're planning to upgrade before a year.

>430 is unusable
>lag is quite bad
Not in my experience. I have a Moto G5 which has very similar specs to the Nokia 6 (SD430, 3GB RAM, 1080p) and most of the time it's very smooth in normal use, only the occasional lag but nothing big. Hearthstone and Pokemon Go are a bit laggy though.

I'm not working there anymore, and the numbers we got were from 2016. Yes, the whole year.

But I do remember it's launch being very successful and then having an average of a third of the phones that went out coming back.

>my snapdildo 801 is faster
I'm not disputing that, just saying that at least in the Moto G5 the SD430 is enough for a (mostly) smooth experience, outside gaming. Which I'm perfectly happy with because I have a tablet for that.

jelly screen is an issue reported by a minority of users, no microSD is indeed a letdown but for me not in any way a dealbreaker, really don't care about looks, as long as it isn't garbage.
is there anything else i should be aware of?

What specs does an android need to be any good nowdays? Quite fast to open apps, watsapp, maybe play Heartstone and watch youtube and netflix, a lot of the time used at work for googlemaps.

Is 1.3Ghz and 2Gb ram slow? Was thinking about getting a cheap chink phone for less than 200€ preferably could go a bit higher if theres a good reason for it. More than 16Gb storage would be nice too. EUfag

Honestly RAM seems to be quite a bottleneck in my opinion, pic is a Zenfone 2 (Z00A) running LineageOS. It runs fast despite the old processor.
