Is your body ready?

Should I enable 'Use sRGB' in LineageOS 14.1 developer options on my Redmi Note 4X? I thought that option catered specifically to 6P and Pixels.

I'm looking to get a 64GB MicroSD for my new Smartphone. What's the best brand for a decent price?

Is there any practical alternative to the Google botnet?

pulling down the quickmenu is the only awkward thing since it's kinda jarring without transitions at first but same.

>>62007042
imo the only justifiable reason to spend so much money on a phone is if you want the best camera available otherwise it's just a waste.

How do anons feel about Zenfone 4 2017 models?

why are upcoming phones so shit?


pixel 2 && essential have no headphone jack
note 8 is made by samsung
oneplus 5 is made by a shit-tier company


what other options do i have?

>>62007593
you have the option of buying a budget/mid range phone and spend your money on something way more fun and/or useful than a phone.

So I bought a used Moto X two years ago for $160 off Amazon, it was pretty much new. My case broke a few weeks ago so I took it off and never got around to putting it back on. Yada yada I shattered the screen and worst of all there sand in the micro USB port.

>>62007593

Who has experience dealing with Verizon?

I got a bug on their website where it believes I've paid for half of my phone after only a couple months' payments. I want to get rid of this shitty iPhone. Should I attempt to use the upgrade or do you all think it would be kicked back?

So my S5 has completely gone to shit, I've got to buy a phone out right for the first time because plans only really offer Samsung & Apple with who I'm with, so I'm thinking OnePlus 3, OnePlus 5 or Google Pixel?

>>62007658
meh i have more money than I know what to do with. dropping 1k on a phone isnt a big deal

>>62007664
no headphone jack. although if im going to compromise with no heahpone jack i might as well go back to iphone so my apps actually work.

>>62007699

Yes, you are an autist.

Is Nova Launcher FOSS? If not are there any good alternatives that are?

So I bought a Moto G5 Plus on Amazon yesterday since my S7 Edge went to shit. Is it a good replacement phone?

I'm a Latam monkey and I don't know if the thing is ever coming here anyway. I don't know how OTAs work and I don't know if they're segmented by regions or what, but I sure as shit haven't gotten it. This is supposedly "up to date".

>>62009226
I'll wait and see the reviews and people's opinions before updating. If it's shit then I'll just stick with marshmallow.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nougat ran like shit, though. G4 play is pretty much a budget phone.

My Nexus 4 has finally kicked the bucket and I want a new Android.

There's a deal on Xiamo Redmi 4A/X and Note, I hear good things about them, are they true?
What about Huawei line (P9, P10, Lite variants) Are they worth the price?

Thanks senpaitachi.

Huawei p10 or LG G6 or save the money and get a moto g5+

I've heard that the Moto Z2 Force is kinda crap.
Why is that? I want a top of the line phone for games and I've grown unable to live without the Moto features.

>No apple

Okay /g/, I recently broke my beloved Galaxy S7 edge from a meter high drop (THE FIRST AND ONLY DROP IT HAD!). It was a really good phone and introduced me to the world of Android, unfortunately, I currently don't have the funds for a replacement in the same price range.

I am currently eyeing on a Moto G5 Plus which seems to be the current best mid range budget phone on the market, among tech sites at least. Is there a better phone than it in the same price range or is the Moto G5 plus really the current best. I'm in the US on T-mobile.

It's not hardware related and I would prefer avoid creating a Reddit account to ask this but, does anyone know how to stop Messenger from downloading the snapchat-like update by itself ?
Messenger lite doesn't work well on my device, so I tried the classic Messenger app.
50mb from the play store and perfect interface (no meme bubble or story selfie shit), but it actually downloaded a lot of data to basically update itself.
Is there a way to prevent this and stay on the "stock" version ?

>>62011507
While its not truly free, IMO the best compromise while still being practical is just buying a phone you can easily unlock the bootloader and root.
Install something transparent like LineageOS and just dont install Gapps.
Use Fdroid instead

Got a sandisk ultra for 16€ from Amazon, it's not worth getting sharks anymore

>>62012682
Funny how they said the mix mix has 91% screen to body ratio but it turned out to be 84%

You trust the chinks too much, plus the new mix 2 won't even have a 3.5mm port so it's going to be trash.

>>62012756
How do you know it has no 3.5mm port? they haven't officially disclosed that in any way.

People were also saying it'd have no front camera and all this other retarded speculation. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't but I realize I've never used headphones on my RN3P. Usually I use my 10in tablet for media with earbuds.

Is there any smartphone with features similar to Redmi 4X (5" display, 3GB RAM, 32GB memory) that's also IP certified? I used to have a Sony M4 Aqua, but unfortunately had to part with it and am looking for some "waterproof" replacement.
My budget is around 150€.

>>62013962
4X is the chink version you shouldn't buy

Buy the global version that has B20

>>62013928
He's true. Ideally a lithium ion battery shouldn't be charged at more than 0.7c, so your typical 3000mAh battery at 3.8V should not be charged faster than 8 Watts/h. Quick charge 3.0 is pumping 18 Watts of power into your battery.

Most people would be fine though, only people who use their phone for more than 1-2 years would start to notice the degrading battery life depending on how much they use their phone and how frequently they charge it.

>>62011544

Mediatek is shit (only on budget models)

>Old phone has died
You wouldn't buy another 1+1 if yours is dead, you'd buy something newer and better.

>Battery life
Newer phones are more efficient as last much longer than phones from around the 1+1 era

The list goes on, there's no real point in upgrading so often but I'd say every 2 years would be nice.

>>62015913

I mean if you're doing video editing fair enough. What circumstance requires you to do that on a phone though? Like, when are you isolated from your PC, but really need to edit a video?

Photography I guess. It's just weird that like.... the note 4 which is what I have has a pretty good camera. And I'd think if you cared much you'd want a proper pro camera. Wouldn't a better phone camera just be more middle ground?

Waterproof ye.

If my phone died I'd get another Note 4 honestly.

Battery life, I haven't looked into so I'll take your word for it. More battery would be nice and I can see why that would be important for people.

Well I mean my current phone can use interpolation to create 960fps videos even after they've been recorded so it's usually more for fun than productivity.

I went from a Nexus 5 to a Zuk Z2 Pro and I'm so happy with how big of an upgrade it has been.

I can emulate PSP games between 30-60fps, much better camera, battery went from 3-4 hours SoT to 7-8 hours SoT, my apps stay open in the background so it doesn't reload when I'm multitasking, the type C plug is easier to use and transfers faster.

Phone cameras are just convenient, it's already on you so may as well use get something that's good if you want to use it.

To be completely honest though, my main reason for upgrading was the battery life. Being conservative would net me almost 4 hours SoT on my nexus 5, but my Z2 Pro gets almost 6 hours SoT playing PSP games on high brightness and between 7-8 on normal usage with moderate to high brightness

hi /g/, I'm going to Japan on a year long study abroad in a few weeks. I use a Galaxy S5 on AT&T but I've dropped it so many times it's just shy of being a paperweight.

I'd like to contract and get a new phone I can bring back to use in California (probably on AT&T), what are some recommendations? Feature wise I'd like to be able to root it but I'm not very savvy, I pretty much just install titanium and remove most of the bloatware, but I know japanese phones always make a shutter click when taking photos, so can that be removed with a root as well?

I'm about as phone savvy as Chihaya.

>>62016634
imo not quite yet, 5.5 would be pretty nice.

>>62018166
Honor 8 or Galaxy A5 2017

>>62018221
Why not just get a phone in the US?

>>62017739
Once you use it it's hard to get out.

My car dock has an NFC sticker in it, when I put my phone in the holder it automatically opens my radar detector app (required for it to work, interfaces to the master box & radar detector horn in the hood of my car via bluetooth), my GPS app, and my music app and starts playing. I have a second sticker near the door of my car and I run my phone over it as I exit, it quits all of those apps.

NFC is useful for electronic payment, if you own Nintendo systems you can write your own NFC stickers for a quarter each rather than buying Nintendo's $13 action figures for extra content, etc...

You might not have a use but missing NFC is a huge con for a lot of people.

I just had my OnePlus One stolen at an airport. Can anyone recommend me a good upgrade in a similar price range?

>>62018166
Honor 8 or Zuk Z2 Pro

>>62018290
Well, I was hoping to get an Arrows or something. Maybe I've been memed on, but I'm of the understanding that Japanese market phones outperform American phones. I'm also under my parents' plan, so I have very little actual autonomy with contracting and upgrading and stuff.

I'm also an egotistical garbage can and I'd like to bring my "cool Japanese phone," back because, again, I am pondscum.

My Asus Zenfone 5 is stuck on Android KitKat, when I check for updates it says my system is updated even though I know for a fact Lollipop is aviable for this system. Do I need to go on Asus' website and download the firmware from there?

>>62018393
Japanese phones won't work in the US unless you buy something like a iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy

>>62018310
did you try android device manager?
https://www.google.com/android/find?u=0

not sure what meets your price range desu but trying to help

>>62018424
Probably the update was never released for your region. You should be able to update manually (check XDA for more info), just make sure your variant is compatable with the firmware.

>>62018310
>I just had my OnePlus One stolen
Those poor thieves.

>>62018436
Is that because the difference in networks and antennas? Or because getting it unlocked is a pain?

Dang. Maybe I'm best served by seeing if I'm eligible for an upgrade and staying within Samsung, then.

>>62018546
verizon and sprint will only activate phones with device IDs that have been certified as compatible. none of the jap phones have been certified. so they'll refuse to activate them and they won't work.

the 4G LTE part of the network uses sim cards, but the non-4G uses the ESN on CDMA, hence why blocking is possible.

>>62018566
This phone stuff is hard. Not doubting your expertise, but there literally isn't a single phone?

Capitalism was a mistake!

>>62018474
Well that's weird because I'm in Europe, not some third world country, but whatever. I want to eventually install Lineage OS on this thing, but I'm a bit confused regarding the steps I need to take because the resources I found on Google aren't very clear. Tell me if I am correct
>root
>unlock bootloader
>get TWRP
>flash Lineage from TWRP
Am I missing something here or is this the right procedure?

>>62018637
okay so there are two parts here
>network
GSM is an international standard and 4G LTE is based on it. CDMA is a different standard. GSM used SIM cards, CDMA did not (until 4G LTE). Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. a lot of phones in Japan use CDMA too.

if you buy a japanese phone that is more CDMA based, depending on the software, it may not even be able to be activated on an american network by manufacturer restriction. if CDMA based, it may not support all GSM frequencies on, say, AT&T and verizon

>frequencies
different modems and phones support different frequencies. even if you buy a 4G LTE supporting phone from Japan, and then bring it to a 4G LTE network on the US, it might not work.

say you wanted to activate a phone on AT&T in the US. AT&T uses bands 2, 4, 5, and 17. let's say you buy a phone from NTT DoCoMo in Japan, and they use bands 1, 6, 9, and 19. note that there is ZERO overlap between the two, meaning if the NTT DoCoMo phone doesn't happen to support the other bands, thedn you're hosed on using it on AT&T's network.

I'm not sure why you'd want a Japanese phone as their add on software is generally garbage. Japan is really behind and their software feels like software 10-20 years older in terms of consumer devices.

>>62010319
get yourself a pixel still the best android overall

>>62018672
What is the exact model? There's several different versions of the Zenfone 5 with slighty different hardware.

The usual order is
1. unlock bootloader (this wipes your phone so backup your stuff)
2. install TWRP
3. flash LineageOS
4. Flash root (optional)

>>62013974
Isn't it the other way around? 4x being the "global" version?

There's 4 versions of the Redmi Note 4:

Redmi Note 4 (Mediatek), with Helio X20 SoC
LTE bands:1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Redmi Note 4X (Chinese version), with Snapdragon 625
LTE bands: 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Redmi Note 4 (Indian version), with Snapdragon 625
LTE bands: 3(1800), 5(850), 40(2300)

Redmi Note 4 Global (International version), with Snapdragon 625
LTE bands: 1(2100), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300)


Redmi 4 Prime wasn't memed as much because it doesn't have a Global version. It's also discontinued now.

>>62018891
What country?

>>62018821
It's a T00J model, still, I don't imagine the procedure would be too different, right?

>>62019004
Oh thanks for that!
So if I got the 4 Prime I would be cucked out of some bands in Europe, correct?

>>62019015

>>62019044

>>62007593
zenfone !

>>62019039
Almost all of Europe uses a mix of bands 3, 7 and 20 for LTE coverage. The 4 Prime has 3 and 7 but is missing band 20 (800mhz). Band 20 is used mainly for 1. providing coverage in rural areas 2. improving signal strength indoors (this might be different for your country / carrier though). So in most places you'd be still be able to get LTE, but in some you might drop down to 3G, where a phone with band 20 would still get LTE.

>>62019214
Thank you again for the explanation.
One last question, which of these bands is the one turning us Europeans into spineless pussys that are welcoming our own destruction with open arms while bending over to the marxist-utopia that is the EU?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or LeEco Le Max 2?

>>62019250

The phone comes with Android 7.0 so maybe it already has good apps for some of those things, dunno

Why do flagship phones nowadays have less features for more money? Don't people realize they're being ripped off? I see a Moto G5 for $200 and it blows every other phone out of the water with a removable battery and a microSD card slot.

>>62020638
The same reason people buy ~3000 Gibson guitars when they'd get the performance and quality out of any $800-1000 guitar by a respectable brand. Flagships sell because of the name and the false illusion of worth and prestige people get when they have something expensive that most people they know don't have.

>>62020638
I got myself a Galaxy A5 after losing my S6 and I've been real happy with it. Most aesthetic phone on the market (in black), IP68, good performance, and battery life seems to be improving, never giving below 5h SoT total, and today I got just over 7h. 4G only

Truly an excellent shitposting device, but a Lenovo P2 might've been better.

>>62020731
An expensive guitar at least looks cool.

>>62020778

It's all okay.

>>62020778
>An expensive guitar at least looks cool.
So does my $700 Jackson, and my friend's $900 PRS. Low and medium end guitars don't necessarily have to look like shit unless you get something like an absolute entry level $120 turd. And I'd argue that most brands and especially Gibson go way overboard with aesthetics in their really expensive models.

>>62020731
This is true. It's actually kinda sad, here where I live it's Samsung and iPhone territory. The amount of people that get indebted to buy the latest meme phone is ridiculous. The average idiot is drawn by big numbers and they can't resist when they see WOW 4GB RAM AND 8 CORES THIS SHIT IS AMAZING.
I got myself a G4 recently which is marginally less expensive in comparison to the bigger brands, and it serves me just fine. I'm willing to bet 99% of people with top spec phones don't even use them to a fraction of what they're able to, they just want to carry the latest fad in their pockets. As long as they run Normiebook and WhatsApp they couldn't care less about anything else.

Anyone who could perform the tasks required to truly push the flagship hardware to its limits is not going to do those things on a fucking phone, they have real computers for that kind of work.

For the average user who only uses a smartphone as a facebook, internet, youtube and media device, and that's 99.9% of people, any smartphone over 200 bucks is overkill.

>>62019653
Asking again

Wish the Note 8 had front firing speakers and maybe that fancy finger print reader in the screen thing that people keep hinting at.

>>62021818
Expect sub-$200 phones still have pretty shit cameras, which is something that the average social media using normie absolutely cares about. Gotta take those snapchat selfies and videos.

>>62021896
The camera on any $150-200 phone is more than good enough for that kind of photography

Moving from the Nexus 6 I have had since release, I am considering either going for the Samsung S8+ (possibly exynos variant) or the LG V30 if the rumors of it having Wireless charging is true as well as root.

Which one sounds better? The S8+ or V30?

>>62021818
Exactly, that was my point.
It makes me wonder what the people here with phones with seven bajillion GBs of RAM and cores even use them for. Mine is a quadcore 2GB RAM and it rarely has to reload anything, and when it does it's so fast and inconsequential it doesn't even matter. Any big task requiring the processing power of the latest phones is better off being done in a proper computer in the end.
The one thing I can imagine the very best phones being used for is running Dolphin on the bus or some shit, and you and I know that only happens for power users. This is why I get irrationality upset when I see normies walking around with the latest Galaxy S8000 Plus Ultra Turbo and use it to browse social media and videos and nothing else.

>>62021896
Point taken, I don't give a rat's ass about photography, so that probably makes me biased to be completely indifferent about good cameras on a phone, but you get the idea.

>>62020986

>>62022029
Marketing at its finest. The technology is there so why not make super expensive phones with it and let people convince themselves that they need it.

Flagship phones made sense in the beginnings of the smartphone era, but nowadays the low and medium end are perfectly fine for most people. And seeing how the hardware isn't advancing as fast as it did in the beginning (and there really isn't any selling point for these phones other than their specs), the gap between the 200-300 dollar models and the flagships will get smaller

Australian pricing is fucked to begin with. A Samsung S8+ is almost 1400aud and budget models are roughly on par with chink flagships.

That's my main reason for going with this and not a Redmi for half the price or a regular flagship for twice the price.

What you say is true, but processing power is not even a third of the full picture: without counting the camera, since it has already been mentioned, smartphones market segmentation also uses screen panels and overall design to differentiate the various tiers. A better screen produces a better user experience, since it's literally the first and only interface with the user; many people use smartphones for too much time a day, every single day of their lives, and a better screen does make the difference. Design is subjective, and it also is an umbrella term that accounts for ergonomics, overall build quality, and aesthetics: regardless the subjective nature of personal taste in the design, ergonomics should be taken into account when looking at a phone (S8's designers forgot that with the fingerprints sensor), and build quality can determine the durability and longevity of a smartphone; now it's true that price doesn't imply good design, but one may choose to spend more after evaluating what suited him the most also in terms of design.

My ideal phone would be something like the LG G6/V30, with less processing power and more energy efficiency, no dual camera meme, better AMOLED panel, and no stupid glass back, because I love that bezelless design. Too bad such design and build quality won't hit the midrange market for another few quarters, not even counting that midrange phones don't even have that bleeding edge displays, and I've waited too long already to change my phone so I'll probably take the V30 at day one, and also take a dick in the ass while paying it because I'm a huge fag.

My point is that processing power is a good selling point, but it isn't the whole story. As long as the market keeps its current structure, however, we'll have to stick with it being the main selling point.

>Plus if I need to the S8+ has plenty of cases for protection
Which is just stupid: the main selling point of that slab of potential cracks is being without bezels, and any cover just negates it altogether. At which point, any other option is straight up better.

For people who know what "octa core" means, maybe. I was talking to my sister the other day about getting a new phone and the first thing she asked about the phone I had in mind was "but how many megapixels does the camera have?". Most people don't care about number of cores and CPU speed, they trust Samsung or Apple's marketing when it says that the new phone has the fastest processor in the market without specifying any numbers.

Nevermind the fact that more pixels does not mean better photos.

It's still the main selling point, it's just not on a technical level: no manufacturer will forget to make the new flagship more powerful, and along with the CPU they will pack the very best they can offer. It just isn't possible for them to offer the very best screen without the very best CPU because otherwise they would hurt the rest of the lineup.
Also, there are enough normie-oriented videos that compare different smartphones by looking at the loading times of apps; that for me, and I think for most of us here, is beyond pants-on-head retarded for all the reasons in this world, but it still shows how normies *do* care about CPU and RAM performance without even knowing.

>Nevermind the fact that more pixels does not mean better photos.
True dat, but the pixel count war always works on laymen.

It's all about "the processing power". Marketing spouts buzzwords to draw people in, people who have no idea what any of that shit is.
Recently I got a leaflet in my house from a home appliances and electronics store, big-ish chain here.
On it, it came advertised the Moto G4 among others. Now here's the kicker, it says it has an octacore, 3GB of RAM and 32 of ROM. You might be thinking, sure that's bullshit but it sounds kinda plausible at least. Well, turns out the model is the G4 Play, which not only has none of those specs and is marginally less powerful than the regular G4, but it's also not the model being advertised. But you think the average dingus will ever find out? No, no one cares unless you're a turbonerd like us. It's a miniscule difference that flies right over customers.
People see words like "Snapdragon" or Octacore or some inflated amount of camera MPs and they jump on that. The market for phones is exploitative to hell and back precisely because of this. This is why Sammysung and specially Apple have such a monopoly, they know which buzzwords to exploit to make the crowd go wild.
Nevermind those shitty chinese bricks like Xiaomi, OnePlus or Huawei, surely they can't possibly be good, or at least AS good, right? There's the why.

Dunno how people can stand playing vidya on something like a SD625. For daily messaging use or whatever sure but for the SD650 in my memephone, playing Tales of The Rays is literally more loading screens than playing the game.

Why does /spg/ shill for the G5+ when the LeEco Le Pro 3 X722 is better for less?

what's a good poorfag smartphone with a nice cam?

I wouldn't try to find a decent substitute for it if the hardware wasn't failing on me every other day, like that fucking SIM card removed thing that forces me to fucking reboot.

>>62024231
Motorola is an actual reputable brand while Lecco is chink shit.

Yes, summer's nearly gone; winter is soon upon us. We'll need a lot of heating.

>>62024192
A lot of people literally do not game on phones

or if they do they accept they will always be mediocre, or if the framerate truly bothers them they turn the resolution down using root commands

OpenCamera set to save images as RAW.

>image edition
Don't know what you mean by this. If you mean image editor, just use Photoshop or GIMP on PC. There are no really good image editors for Android that have the same power of a desktop program.

Default Android PDF viewer app works fine for me.

I can easily recommend the Brave browser on mobiles. Blocks most, if not all, of the shitty ads that plague the mobile version of sites.

>>62024621
Why is this browser being shilled so much? All it does is replace other people's ads with their own. Firefox + uBlock is much better.

Who's looking forward to Android O?

>>62024618
Maybe 100 and USA.

Google already knows your location

more like cant wait for iphone 8, i like the sleek design and want to get one so badly but i dont have 1k to drop on it, fuck me for being poor

Redmeme Note 4 with MIUI9 reporting in. I've found it to be much faster when launching apps as well as switching between third party ones. I'm planning to stay on MIUi until I get bored enough to flash LOS. MIUI is not that bad for daily use, except for the notifications.

>>62019653
i've been using this too, it's lightweight and pretty good so far. Sometimes it blocks things that shouldnt be blocked though, like amazon.

Firefox isnt as snappy as Brave is on my phone. I'm not sure why but if i could run firefox without that small amount of lag i would.
