First for U11, best flagship

>tfw phone featured in OP picture
Only gripe about the 6P is the lack of an SD card slot, and abysmal user serviceability. Otherwise 10/10 perfect phone.

I'm on a nexus 5. It still just werks, no cracked screen even after being tossed at rocks in panic and dropped from extremely high places onto concrete.
Why should I upgrade to something newer?

My HTC 10 no longer requires a password BEFORE boot after wiping and reinstalling to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat. It asks after booting and getting to the lock screen, not before finishing booting. Did I fuck something up so it's not encrypted now, or did they just change how it works in 7?

Europoor here looking for a decent phone. Budget is €120 but would be willing to stretch to €150 if the difference is dramatic.

Currently looking at the Xiaomi Redmi 4x and Ulefone Gemini.

Is it worth getting 4GB RAM over 3GB for future proofing?

europoor here, looking for a phone with budget of 350 euros

wanted features: fast performance most of all, for standard apps, not games
decent internal storage capacity, would like it if I can move some apps to the sd as well
good camera but this isn't as important as the performance
preferably already running android 7 or easily upgradable to 7

last thread someone recommended me the Honor 8 which looks excellent for the price but if anyone has a better suggestion at the same price I'm all ears

also thoughts on the sony Xperia XA Ultra?

>cheaper AX model
which one is that?

>>62110902
Well an issue like that is covered by warranty so if it happens they'll replace or repair your phone.

>>62110968
Oneplus 5 or LG G6

>>62110958
It's well researched and documented reality. Including "muh peer review".

This goes back to the 50's.

>>62111035
They didn't have smartphones in 50s though

When will O arrive to S8?

>>62110983
sorry nvm I messed up due to a local site putting the XA Ultra on sale, it's only 20 euros more than the XA1

I rooted my old Xperia Neo V because it had an obscene amount of bloatware thanks to both Sony and my carrier

Now I have a Moto G5 with virtually stock Android and I'm not sure if rooting it is worth it since there's not that many default apps I want gone and unlike with the Neo V (which had a pitiful amount of internal storage) these google apps don't take up that much space

>>62112252
The only reason to root today is for Adaway so you can forget about every ad. Android has come a long way since 2.3 days.

Xrays and ELF generally cause single strand breaks, which are rapidly repaired. Pulsed fields however cause the formation of peroxynitrite and hydrogen peroxide, downregulate superoxide dismutase and gluthionine reductase activity, and thus spur lipid peroxidation, protein malformation, mitochondrial damage, base oxidation, and double strand breaks. Degredation of BBB integrity via iron sulfate group disruption also occurs, as metalloproteineases are particularly vulnerable.

I also have my computer in a shielded box. Monitor and wiring, oh well. I'm well beyond vulnerable developmental windows for leukemia, etc. Melatonin synthesis may or may not be fine.

Are there any phones with decent wifi radios?

Even with a 4x4 access point and VHT80 capable MU-MIMO access point my phone doesn't break more than about 400mbps.

The link speed reported by the router to my phone is 867mbps, which I assume is the limit of my Note5's Wifi radio. So anything newer able to achieve better throughput?

Good thing i've got brain power to spare and have no desire for children in my life.

Now, what phone has the best wifi radio?
Looks like the Galaxy S8/S8+ and Note8 are probably it.

priv desu

Why is the Note 8 33% more expensive than the XZ Premium?

>>62114424
Smaller screen
less RAM
No Spen
IPS instead of OLED
Dual cameras

And the fact samsung is far more well known for their cell phones compared to sony.

What's the best android phone for security and can be degoogled?

>>62114546
The Xperia XZ Premium has a 4K RGB IPS LCD display. The Note 8 has Pentile OLED and is a far smaller resolution.
The camera is probably the same cost as the two cameras on the Note 8.
So the only valid differences are the digitizer and RAM.

>>62110120
So, I have this bluetooth controller (Mov 055 from Steren) on a Moto G 5, and it has different modes. When using the movement stick on gaming mode it keeps repeating the last action (e.g., Forward), which makes it impossible to play. How would I discard if the issue has to do with the phone or with the controller?

>>62114627
How the fuck are you going to pretend a single camera costs the same as DUAL 12MP cameras?


Almost all reviews say the S8 camera for still pictures is basically just as good, the Note8 comes with TWO of those cameras, one telephoto, the other wide angle BOTH with optical image stabilization (the first in a phone).

Further, OLED is better than IPS, period.
Reviews even say, unless you've got a huge amount of 4k HDR content, the S8 screen is better, and the note8 screen is identical, just bigger.


You're pretty obviously a sony fan, but most people aren't as is evidence by their smartphone sales figures.

This, if you expect any kind of customer service, or long term support you're having a laugh.

They'll take your money and give you a chink phone with decent specs that if you baby it will last you for 18-24 months, but even if you baby it, sometimes the garbage just breaks and the company just tells you to fuck off when you ask them to fix their broken garbage.

What a waste of battery

>>62110197
As much as I liked my 6p I must have been one of the unlucky owners of it. Overheated on more than one occasion and when it went into endless bootloop Huawei wouldn't warranty it because it was less than one month past warranty. As much as I paid for it I expected it to last longer. OnePlus 3t now. Pretty happy with it but it's not without a few minor quirks. WiFi and Bluetooth can be a little janky but other than that I'm pretty happy with it.

>>62114927
Yeah, which is why 90% of the time the phone isn't even displaying 4k mode, it's really only used when you playback 4k content, of which almost nothing exists, so really why the fuck would you even buy a phone with a 4k screen.

Sony doubled down on the meme and it's retarded.

>>62112292
lol this is China in general.

>>62114843

It's not about NEEDING the speeds, it's about having a healthy and robust wifi network for any potential situation.

I have a 1gbps fiber WAN connection. I would like a phone that can at least achieve more than half of those speeds.

As it is, I struggle to break 400mbps, and it's usually ~350mbps.

wired speeds aren't an issue, wireless is. I know part of it is because my best wireless client device currently is my Note5 which as i've said, caps out at 867mbps link speed.

Did amazon raise the price of the v20 just before the v30 announcement?

>>62110834
LG v20 maybe. Bought mine for 319€ on eBay. It's a huge phone though and has "only" a last gen Snapdragon 820 (which is still plenty fast).

>>62116783
G4+ has a nicer camera, GPU, and slightly better battery. Also the screen is 5.5 instead of 5.0 (I prefer smaller screens though)
I'd say if the price difference isn't that high, it's better to save a bit up for the G4.

>>62113013
Probably Nova (Prime). It's pretty snappy.

How could you come to this conclusion after reading that

Whenever I open a black or dark themed app (clover black theme), and this applies to apps with white backgrounds (facebook) but is more obvious non black ones..

When I click on the app icon, it will first open with a white background then become black.. Do you know what I mean ? Its a goddamn eyesore.

This doesn't happen in every app though, for example quickpic with black theme iediately opens in black, and so are system apps (black system theme).

Whats better in a long term view? I want to upgrade from my shit tier phone to something mid or high end, possibly the phone I'll be using for the next 3 to 5 years.

I have been given this options in the store and they all cost around the same but Im not an expert on the subject:

- Samsung S8
- OnePlus 5
- LG G6
- Huawei P10

Im from Costa Rica and my needs aren't very crazy, must have decent battery and able to handle every day tasks like texting / music / social media / youtube / clover / uber and not lag or get hot while switching between apps.

I've never owned a Samsung phone so Im concerned about comon issues people talk about from samsung devices (gets slow after 9 months of use, bloat af, constant heating problems) or chink phones like Huawei or OnePlus that may turn trash after a while and from LG I know nothing. What should I do /g/? What are the cons and pros and general recomendations?

Thanks!

>>62120948
After the release of the OPX, they've been getting worse and worse with updates

recommend a good phone for 250 or less

>>62118975
If your planning to keep the phone for so long, discard the fragile s8. The OP 5 has a really good support from devs in regards of custom ROMs but the company will only support it for 2 major updates at most so, take that into account. I don't really know much about Huawei and LG had serious issues with bootloops with the G4 and G5, so I suggest you to do some research about any issues of that type with the G6.

Should I get
the Redmeme Note 4 3GB for 165€
or the Honor 8 for 280€?
Both with box, warranty and cases included.
Also, is the 4GB Note 4 much better than 3GB?

Hey guys, I'm by no means a smartphone enthusiast but want to upgrade my very old phone. What is considered the lowest possible price for a "good" smart phone? I don't really want one that's super fancy; just one with a decent camera, and that doesn't have this issue my current one has where it's only limited to 32GB of SD space and apps have problems being moved to the SD.

Does $100 sound too low for a good phone?

How do i block all youtube ads on android?

>>62121224
None of those. Get a Zuk Z2/Z2 pro. For 340 you can get the OP 3T which is the best phone for the price right now.

>>62121495
Won't the Zuk 2 just fall apart after 2 weeks?

try to get a Moto G4 (Plus) somewhere, they should be cheap now

>>62113260
P10 I found some instructions, S8 highly doubtful. You can't even root the Snapdragon S8, and the Exynos version of Samsung phones always has much worse 3rd party ROM support due to a lack of documentation IIRC.

If you're buying from a carrier it is even less likely that you will be able to unlock the bootloader on your P10 and flash LineageOS.

>>62113341
Depends where you are currently located. I would go to GSMArena and use their phone finder. The 3G bands used by BTC (Bahamas carrier I found information for) are supported by pretty much every phone, but they use Band 17 for LTE which isn't supported by your ZUK Z2 you linked. Again, use the phone finder and select all the LTE bands your home carrier uses as well as band 17, should give you some options. You'll be looking at Sony and Apple phones, as they have the most bands supported usually.

If you don't know what bands your carrier uses you can either google it or just reply with what carrier you'll be using it on and I'll look into it. Make sure your phone is unlocked so that you can insert a Bahamas SIM card so you don't have to pay $10/day or whatever your carrier charges for international roaming.

>>62114293
Pixel/XL has been discontinued at the major carriers here in Canada. I ended up buying a iPhone 6S just after the iPhone 7 reveal because I wanted to try iOS and wanted a headphone jack. You might have more issues since the Pixel/XL has had tons of issues with stock.

>>62114991
I'm interested in using Sailfish X (Sailfish OS for Sony Xperia X). Although I'm kind of spoiled in that with my current phone (6S) everything Just Werks. They're missing a lot of functionality on the Xperia X including the fingerprint scanner. It might be added in a future update, but I'm hesitant to pay 50 euros plus buy a phone to use something that doesn't sound finished.

>>62121442
Most phones at this price have huge compromises like the camera quality and battery life, and are just shit all around. You should shell out just a little more for a Moto G5 Plus (camera is barely ok still).

>>62121858

I personally don't buy anything less than $400. I've dealt with mediocre Android phones and the occasional iPhone on my parents' dime for a while and I can never go back to that now that I can be irresponsible and buy flagships that I feel are worth the money on a whim.

First Android phone I ever had was a ZTE Score.
>Shitty 3.5" screen that was too small even for my whopper hands.
Not much to be said about it other than it's a really bad choice for someone's first smartphone experience. Eventually upgraded to an EVO 3D.
>Bigger screen was fine, but disliked how outdated it was.
>Started messing around with flashing roms (the One X was out at this time).
>Phone eventually overheated while charging it overnight.
>Probably my fault + the rom
Switched from an iPhone 5c (was great except for the camera) to a ZTE Warp Elite, and I hated it from the moment I first held it. I found that if I wanted quality I'd have to buy something myself.

Are there any modern (2015+) phones with physical keyboards that don't blow? I remember having a 2012 android with a slide out keyboard and I loved it dearly. I hate touchscreen typing, and I can't get the hang of swipe typing.

Are 2GB of ram enough for a light-mid use nowadays? Basically social networks, chatting, camera, casual gaming video playback and casual gaming.

Sorry for the double "casual gaming".
By casual gaming I mean rythm games only.

RAM is a meme, specially on Moto phones.
I'm using a G4 Play and sometimes I open up a game, a browser, Clover and YouTube at the same time and 95% of the time they all stay in memory, but like you I also tend to keep my browser tabs under controls so I guess that kinda skews the argument. I can't think of another reason apart from tab hoarding or bloatware on chinkphones to have an exorbitant amount of RAM.

>>62123703
RAM is somewhat of a meme, I have a Note5.

4GB RAM. I occasionally find myself running out when doing multiple things (web browsing with 5 or 6 tabs, duel links card game, pandora radio, snapchat, and messenger app). A few things it's fine, but throw in 5 or 6 things at once and you'll occasionally find when you switch back to an earlier app it closed in the background due to lack of RAM and you have to reload it.

I'm hopeful my incoming Note8 will rectify this since it has 6GB of RAM.

>>62123831
Well I also couldn't give two shits about social media so that probably skews the argument as well since obviously I don't run any of that crap.
I've heard Snapchat real time filters can make beefy-ish GPUs lag, and don't even get me started on the disgusting memory hogs that all Facebook apps are.
Unless you're a power user, or a massive normie that runs every social media app at once on their phone, 2GB is already enough.

>>62123925
Thanks I actually only have IM apps loaded and every other thing is closed when I finish using it.

I don't like the glass bodies of the Note 8 and S8+

>>62126472
The main reason I'm considering the V20 is because of the removable battery, and from what I've gathered, the V30 won't have that.

Honestly, I'd like to go with the PH-1, but no headphone jack is the most pants-on-head retarded thing.

>>62125260
You're right, but there's more to a phone these days than just RAM. $99 is typically where there's compromises elsewhere if they perform like a flagship. In fact, the first time I did buy a flagship it actually felt like a complete package instead of a glaring flaw or two left on an otherwise decent phone. You really do get what you pay for in most cases.

>not realising the Samsung product release cycle

my 6p died, and my carrier is replacing it with a huawai p10. is the p10 any good?

Ausfag here, want to buy a phone with a budget of $500 AUD. Gonna be using it for web browsing, music and some gaming (maybe set the bar at being able to run Fate/Grand Order but I can live without it). A decent camera would be nice but it's not important. Storage space is useful but can be sacrificed for performance, SD slot would be nice. Would prefer it run android 7.

A friend recommended the Moto G5 Plus. I was gonna use Aldi as the carrier since they're cheap as fuck.

You could probably get a one plus 3t for that much

I didn't read anything about phones for a few years. I got a moto G from... 2014 maybe ? I think it's time to have something new.

Is there a phone <300€ with a screen <5" and with some decent spec ? If not I can still get a 5" but I would prefer not.
