2nd for old news and OP is a fag.

Also, please tell me the Mi Mix 2 has a headphone jack. Fucking please.

Is MIUI Chinese spyware?

I'm looking for a ~200€ phone with decent battery life. I've had an huawei P9 lite and was quite happy with it.
Any recommendations?

I'm fucking loving all of these bezeless phones. I was going to get a Mi Mix because i thought it'd be a one-off sort of thing, but now i feel like I have options. link to specs?

>>62024423
V20 only $369 on Amazon RIGHT NOW
Is there a better phone?

Any tempered glass screen-protectors for the Redmi 4x? Not the Note 4x

Has anyone been using prelaunch versions of Android O?

How's the battery life compared to previous versions? I see one of the big changes is a supposed improvement in battery life by being more restrictive in how background tasks run.

Why is it so hard to choose a fucking phone these days? Why are there no clear options?

Any bad experience with chink phones?

Looking for a new to replace my ages Turbo. Looking into the Kyocera Duraforce Pro and the Moto G5SP. Duraforce does have a lot of physical buttons and the ruggedized features makes it great for when I'm in the field, but damn if the G5SP or just the G5P blowing it out of the water in actual insides. That being said, is the G5SP even getting a 4GB version in Burgerland?

>>62024905
What shit? That phone is literally the most interesting device that is about to hit the market right now, and once it's out it will shit on his direct competitor, the S8.

Guys, I'm looking for a new phone.Need something tough, capable, with good battery and all standard features, but not xbox hueg:
>no more than 5.2"
>tough and waterproof
>custom ROM support (aka Qualcomm)
>large worldwide band support
>good battery
>obviously extra SIM/µSD slot, audio jack, radio FM and NFC
>bonus points for camera button, removable battery, OLED

All I found fitting most of those criteria are:
>Sony Xperias
>Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge/Active
>Caterpillar Cat S60
>Lenovo Moto G5
Could I have missed something?

Also why is it that almost all available smartphones just scale their specs linearly depending on price instead of providing more options? Like if you want a tiny phone, it necessarily has shitty CPU/RAM, and if you want something more powerful, or a splash/waterproof rating, you absolutely have to get a QHD 7" with two 20MP cameras, and there's no alternative. Are manufacturers retarded or do they seriously expect everyone to shell out $600 in flagships and get more than they need?

>>62029605
If you want decent specs on smaller phones you go for iPhones or Xperias, pretty much.

Is there a way to download Android games that are not free, for free?

I'm a handlet and need a new phone. Is there a better phone (mainly battery and CPU) than ZUK Z2 for the size?
If not, do you know where I can buy the Z2? I've looked everywhere but it looks like it's out of stock.

>>62031211
Z2 is discontinued. Get a Mi5 / Mi5s or Z2 Pro instead.

>>62031155
Thats why you root them and flash LineageOS

When is the G5S Plus launching?

>>62031235
I would if they weren't so big for me. That's why I didn't want to get a Z2 Pro.
My last phone was an Xperia Z3 Compact, so going from that to ZUK Z2 was already a stretch for me.
I can't find any phone with similar specs to the ZUK Z2 for the size. (Except iphones and that weird Essential PH-1, but they cost way too much).
The other Xperia Compact phones look ok, but I read somehow the battery is inferior to the Z3 Compact
Thank you anyway for the suggestions

Any information about LineageOS 15 launch dates/supported phones?

>>62031547

I assume he meant a rooting method has been figured out and can be found on the internet. Most users are not able to dive into the phone themselves and figure out how to root.

>>62033681
>Leled because I think you actually think that.
I do, and you're an idiot.

>LG has no brand loyalty, and people will just see it for the S8 ripoff that it is.
V30 is a better G6, which was already better than the S8 under every aspect except camera and processor. Brand loyalty and public response don't change anything of the above.

>>62034455
My point is, LG did the whole "nonstandard aspect ratio, small top and bottom bezel and rounded corners" -design before Samsung.

If you look at pic related V30 follows the same design as the G6, the bezels just are thinner. Yes, it also looks like the S8 but there's only so many ways you can design a near-bezeless phone so it's bound to happen.

Also look on the back the LG V30 is much closer to the G6 than the S8 so it's silly to call the V30 just a S8 ripoff.

>>62034455

LG has been doing thin bezels and rear home button since the G2. Samsung's innovation was the "edgeless" screen, which the V30 does not have..

But nobody will remember that because as you said they dont have enough loyalists.

I want the note 8 if it's gonna be a S8+ with a better camera. But I don't want all that fucking bullshit Samsung throws in.

Fucking kill me.

>>62034455
>I was referring to the V30, which looks EXACTLY like the s8
No, it looks EXACTLY like the G6, with even smaller bezels

>>62035104
>Samsung's innovation was the "edgeless" screen, which the V30 does not have..
Call it innovation... It's a horrible gimmick that has more drawbacks than benefits.

>>62035308

I agree. Was just saying what Samsung brought to the table.

I prefer thin edge non-curved screen due to the safety and the ease of getting a tempered glass for it. Looking forward to the Q6 as a disposable, if low powered, G6.

So I can buy a huawei honor 8 for 80€
Should I do it?
Just a side not, the front and back is shattered but functional.

which one /g/

I've had a Nexus 6p for over a year now, and I'm now noticing burn in from the status bar and navigation bar. Is it possible to make them auto hide or something like that?

>>62035474
Great phone, would not get one shattered though. Replacing both isn't too expensive but doing it yourself can be excruciating depending on how much is included on the new parts.

Just ask if you have any questions.

>>62035390
>Looking forward to the Q6 as a disposable, if low powered, G6.
Q6 MSRP is 349€, which is obscene in the current market considering how limited and cheaply made that device is: no fingerprints scanner, no usb C, SD435, cheap ass thin plastic back. The only thing going for it is the small bezels design, but it's not enough to make up for the price. The right price is in the 150€-200€ range; 250€ would be an enormous stretch already, 350€ is just stupid.

>>62036372
5x was manufactured by LG. Probably not the best phone to begin with desu.

>>62024977
V20 is cheaper used in the $230 range. Better phone would be the G6 if you took advantage of the b1g1 making it 250 a pop.
>>62032454
Does the redmi n4 even support USA bands? 135 bucks you can buy a used LG G5 which is superior in all ways.

So I got an android tablet from Xiaomi recently for watching shows and movies on break at work.

Every time I delete the files after having watched the show, rather than them being completely deleted, they just become "other" files that I can't get rid of.

I'm deleting them from my PC, but I've also used ES File Explorer to do so, but it seems to do the same thing.

I've had to factory reset twice now just from moving files and deleting them.

What the fuck do I do? Google hasn't been a help.

Also, any recommended apps?

needs to be in the same release period, don't want an expensive newer phone. Was looking at the HTC M9, LG G4 etc then came across the V20

Just wanted to see if anyone had anything similar or better for around the same price point

My Tesco Mobile phone contract is coming to an end and I'm wondering if I can just use a pay as you go somewhere now or if the phone is locked to a contract or network? I thought I'd ask here first before I ring them in the morning.

I use Primitive FTPD, it lets you start an sftp daemon on your phone. You can then use any SFTP client you want on your computer in order to connect to it and drop/grab files.

Try Redungeon, it takes time to unlock characters and abilities. My commutes are long, however, so it never posed a problem for me.

why did they have to make the Moto G5 so hideously ugly. it would be perfect otherwise

>Z3C dying after two years and nine months
I bought this motherfucker because I thought it would last at least five years. Is it really too much to ask? Are dumbphones the only phones you can count on?

>>62040842
I think it looks great. Nigga there isn't much to smartphone design other than rounded vs pointy corners

Nokia 6 anyone?

Who makes the better G5, LG or Mororola? Thinking about getting one of those two.

I can get the Galaxy Note 4 used for $150 off eBay, is there a better device that one can find used in the same price range.

>>62040980
>G5, LG

Enjoy your bootloop

Should i get the galaxy a5 for that sweet, sweet sd660?

>>62040981
The note 4 is a beast for buisness use. Taking notes in real time is far superior to typing shit out on a screen. Specs are good, removable battery, sd card slot, or blaster, it really is the last perfect phone. I'm keeping mine at least until december to see if there are bugs in the note 8. Probably until it gets a big sale, like $300 off big.

>>62038939
Are you just mad because you bought a decisively inferior phone?

Is the OnePlus 5 a good phone?

I've got a xiaomi redmi 4 pro and while it's amazing, I'm just tired of android as a whole. There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that I've been using it since fucking forever plus I want to have a phone with an amazing camera for once. I'm also tired of big phones.

So, is the iphone 7 worth it or should I just get a galaxy S8 and be done with it? Both cost about the same where I live. I do prefer the form factor of the iphone, it fits so well in one hand so I'm kinda inclined to it but I don't know.

Get the iPhone and be blown away during your honeymoon period then realize that Android isn't so bad after all, and maybe you should go for Android after your iPhone 7. We all need a change, this is 100% serious recommendation. Good luck.

>>62041047
Thanks, I will most likely purchase this device since my nexus 4 gave up on me after 4 years.

>>62041197
I'm mostly considering the size really. I really like the form factor of the iphone for single handed usage. I can use mine fine with one hand but the iphone feels so much more natural.

my samsung galaxy s4 overheats and freezes just browsing the internet and battery dies quickly

is this the path of all smartphones

>>62041513

all samsung phones, yes

Huawei Honor 8

>>62041537
should I get it or the moto g5? which will have more updates? i want the honor 9 but it doesn't support ATT bands.

Should I save for the huawei p10 instead? Honestly considering the LG G6 for the ~$450 price too for a phone to last me a while like 4 years

Hello lads, my S7 was dropped and has a crack through the screen, on the bottom left, on the top right, and the screen has risen slightly on the top left.

Shortly after these cracks were caused the phone was dropped into a pool, I grabbed it as quickly as possible and left it to dry but afterwards the screen flashed purple/green and the right side of the screen (everything past the crack) stopped responding to touch.

It now turns on and everything other than the right of the screen works.

What are my options?
I don't have another phone or much free cash, please help me.

Dropped my Galaxy S6 in the toilet for like 2-3 seconds about 3 weeks ago. I somehow saved it with hair dryer and rice, and it works almost perfectly. But the antenna or something is fucked, cause I can barely get any signal for SMS/Calling/4G. I can sometimes use 4G for a little while then it stops working and sometimes the phone restarts for some reason.

What do. Don't have insurance. Should i take it to a repair shop or something

So outside of the phone, all you have to do is get a SIM deal?

Could I take the SIM out of my current phone and put it in a new one and it work the same?

>>62046228
It probably never will because it's not part of the S series.

>>62046619
Check the size.
There are 3 different sizes, SIM, micro-SIM and nano-SIM
Most recent phones use nano-SIM
