Is there a good sub 5" phone that isn't the iphone with its complete fucking garbage battery life or xperia compact with its 5 acres of bezels AND on-screen buttons to boot?

xperia x compact
or oneplus x

X

I have deep hate for Google and the Botnet, and everytime I own an android phone I feel dirty, then when I flash a custom rom they are usually pajeet infested and I feel like I am holding a house of cards in my hands.
I had a 5s once and it was pretty comfy, so I am debating on getting an iPhone 6S or a Redmi Note 4.
I feel this is more a matter of needing therapy than asking on /spg/, but:
Spend 150€ and feel dirty, disgusted and question my ethics,
or
Pay +350€ for a slab of soap that holds my hands while simultaneously ravaging my pockets?

Anybody here using Lineage on a Redmi Note 4? Is the battery life better than on MIUI 8.5?

>>62189004
You are drinking the apple kool aid. Their aggressive marketing has been riding this meaningless "security" meme for quite a while now and you're a victim of it. Spend the money on therapy.

of the 3, Oxygen > LG UX > Touchwiz

For the s7e with LOS, you can download and use the Google Camera if you get the 820 (https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-updated-zero-shutter-lag-xiaomi/) with the exynos you're sol, though.

G6 has LCD, if you can get past that, it's a solid phone. Between s7e and g6, I'd rather have the g6, but I'm biased, I've had 2 older galaxy phones and after moving away I can't go back to touchwiz.

My candidate for purchase is an exynos. That Sucks.
But it seems some guy on xda made a hal wrapper for the stock camera to work on los.. So maybe there is hope.

Thanks for the opinions anon.
I'd buy the g6 but it seems it's camera is disappointing compared to other flagships.
I'll decide tomorrow..

How is it meaningless? I work with very sensitive data. Everyone in my line of work (and we are only 540 in the whole country, very specialized law-related stuff) uses an iPhone (fitting in and peer pressue is a non issue to me, don't give a fuck). Government issues iPhones to everyone, police forces that do investigation issue iPhones to everyone. It must mean something, no? (Genuinely asking)

Wikileaks has shown there are FOURTEEN ios exploits that work on all iphones and how many celebrity nude scandals have we got with iCloud hacking by now again?

The point is, your phone is not any more secure than any other phone and your data is being harvested all the same. There is no such thing as privacy with a smartphone. Enjoy your ads.

>>62189217
>how many celebrity nude scandals have we got with iCloud hacking by now again?
to be fair, this probably only happened because they had shitty passwords that could've been brute forced. The best security always begins with the user.

>>62189293
The fact it can be bruteforced in the first place is already all you need to know about how laughable this "security" garbage is.

Which phone has the best camera and also has a micro SD card slot?

>>62189029
Battery life is always better on MIUI. Less bugs too. Understand that when you flash Lineage you agree that the battery, camera, microphone, and speaker quality will be worse, sometimes significantly so. It depends whether you value the price of freedom and full control over your phone instead of it fully working as intended.

Hello everyone, looking for some advice/opinions.

My brother wants to buy a phone. He made a list of phones he is interested in and the prices they are available at for him. The price range he selected is pretty clear, topping out at 300 euros at the most. He likes the Moto Z (Play) but he wants to know if any of the other ones might be a better (value) purchase.

What do you guys think is the "best buy" here and why? He has no specific requirements beyond it being a "nice, well-made phone" and for it to perform good.

Oh and one thing: not sure if you guys here like it or not, but, no Xiaomi phones are not available.

What do you expect from the T-Mobile event on Sept. 6th?

>>62190575
Just go ahead and remove both the HTC phones and the Samsung phone.

>>62190575

I am seeing Galaxy S8s going for a little bit over 300 euros on ebay.de. Might be worth a try.

>>62188897
Can anyone help me out. Loading your battery everytime when its around 20-30% to 70-80% wont do any harm right?

>>62190857
*to add, 2/3 times a day

>>62190629
Some new plan that may seem nice on paper but will somehow screw people over some how over the older plans.

Also probably showcasing the V30 since it will be the first device to support T-Mobile's new 600Mhz Spectrum as well as being the first to release it stateside for no money down.

As someone who used to work for Magenta, their planning for things are a little too predictable at times.

>>62190986

No phone has been updated to oreo yet, expect at least ~3-6 months before samsung pushes an update. In the mean time you'll get your monthly security updates like normal.

Go to settings, then Lock screen & security, then go down to Secure lock settings, then make sure "lock network and security" is checked.

>>62190857
Nope. Didn't you read what I posted yesterday?
Although I wouldn't have patience with a phone that has such a shitty battery and would just charge it to 100%.

>>62190575
Z, Z Play or A5. He won't regret buying any of these. Unless he likes taking selfies. The A5's selfie cam is good, I don't know about the others.

>>62192109
Not that anon but I want to do that on my Moto G5 (android 7) too and I can't find that anywhere in the settings

>>62192304
Sorry, only reason I knew is I have a Galaxy Note5 which is identical to the galaxy S6 hardware (besides having 1GB more RAM).

Why can phones still be turned off from a SECURE lock screen? The only option should be emergency call and nothing more.

>>62192343
You should always be able to power off a device, even if locked.

I have my phone set to unlock with my finger print, but if I am ever pulled over I am turning my phone off immediately because courts have ruled a fingerprint isn't a password and police can force you to unlock your device without a warrant.

However with an encrypted device once it turns back on it requires a password be entered before it even starts the boot process into android. And once it's in android it requires a password be entered for the first unlock after a reboot before allowing finger print unlocks again.

>>62192389
That's all very good and all but you're assuming you'd have the chance to pull your phone out and turn it off

Requesting purchasing advice.

Smallish phone. No or low-profile side buttons, dgaf about any physical buttons on the face. Water resistant at a minimum, would prefer IP68. Easily rootable OR ships with AOSP. SD card slot. User-replaceable battery a plus but not mandatory.

I'm coming from a Galaxy S5 Active, which I can't actually root because I can't install the Windows Media Center bullshit on my desktop that's necessary to install the Samshit KIES bullshit.

>US
>AT&T

Basically I love everything about my S5 Active except for the fact it has so much non-removable bloatware I'm totally out of storage space with zero extra applications on it (all the shit I downloaded went straight to SD card)

Is the performance difference that significant?

So how's the Galaxy A3?

>>62196143
Get one of the Sony Compact phones

I've got an HTC One M8 and it's pretty great across the board, but there are a couple of huge problems. When it dips below 15% battery, the trigger for battery saving mode, half the time it just flat out turns off. Not a huge deal, but occasionally it'll reset some random settings when this happens too. Specifically, weird settings like it'll turn on word prediction when typing, vibration feedback when typing, and brightness settings. Worse off, the fucking mic usually doesn't work. Once in a blue moon it'll do it's job, but about 90% of the time the mic just flat out doesn't work when I'm making or receiving a call.

I used to have this problem where the phone just wouldn't know what outlet to use for different applications. Like, it wouldn't know that when I plugged headphones in to send the sound through the 3.5 jack. That was fixed by me buying Sound About Pro. Shitty to have to spend 3$ to fix that, but it works now as long as I'm diligent in monitoring what I'm doing.

Ignoring that, it's an amazing phone and I love it. The battery size is a little small, but totally manageable. If those problems didn't exist, I'd never buy another phone. Because of that, I'm leaning toward buying another HTC to replace it. My budget is >300$, I'm in America, and working with Metro PCS (T Mobile). Any suggestions would be great.

Should I get oneplus 5 or 3t?

Why has my Zenfone 2 been doing this the past month? Every time it goes to 30% it then loses 1% every second or just drops instantly to 0, but it still has its battery life but I can't use it with the "Your phone will now shut down" message popping up every 5 seconds. My dad's Xiaomi Mi4 just started doing something similar recently too, it'd just outright shut down and refuse to turn on despite having any healthy amount of battery life and he can't turn it on while I can't use more than 30-50% of my battery.

I'm more hyped by the mi mix 2 being unveiled the day before this, on September 11th.

If a battery charge doesn't go down for a few hours in standby, is that Doze doing its job well or could the battery or whatever it is in the phone that detects how much charge is left be fucked? I'm not used to the battery staying at 75% through the whole night, I would expect it to drop to maybe 72%

>>62198265
S8 Plus is literally better than the note8.

>>62198291
how long do we wait for a price drop for v30?
I want to buy as new of a phone as possible so that it lasts long in terms of relevance since i don't like buying phones that much every year or two

>>62198333
This is just my opinion, but I see better reasons to get an LG V30 than a note.
As mentioned before, the current best phone (S8+) still beats the note in pretty much everything that isn't subjective.
Price, battery life, the curved gimmick is actually more pronounced on it, the hard to reach fingerprint sensor is easier to reach on the S8.
At least the LG V30 is different enough to warrant a subjective preference.
It's also going to be the first LG with an OLED screen, added to the high quality DAC and build quality (not glass covered like the samsungs),

>>62198333
How do you expect to predict a pricedrop on a phone that hasn't been released, and the prices for it haven't even been confirmed yet?

Nokia 8, or should I hold off until the Pixel 2 gets announced?

>>62198523
Pixel 2, no question.
Nokia 8 has some pretty questionable design choices and the only thing it has going for it is the camera imo.
That screen ratio in an age where everyone is getting rid of bezels.

Because there is nothing but speculation on the Pixel XL 2. Even if it is in any way a variant of the V30 chances are that everything that makes the V30 great is going to get axed aside from the OLED display.

Honestly it would be more hopeful in that maybe the Pixel XL 2 rom will have enough similarities in configuration/drivers that it could be ported to the V30 with little effort. It will be like having a GPS edition V30.

>>62199211
The "speculation" about the design is pretty solid honestly.
It's going to be based on an LG platform unlike the regular pixel which is HTC, hence the difference in bezels.
I agree that, assuming it'll share the V30 platform, it'll discard stuff like the high quality DAC, but other than that it reains to be seen.
If the design leaks are true, and they have been so far from the source they came from, it'll be a pretty phone.

2GB more RAM, larger (and better) display(it gets 20% brighter than the normal S8 panel), S-pen, dual camera, and less pronounced curve on the screen.

Also if you're at all a draw fag or someone who regularly has to sign electronic documents the S-pen is invaluable.

Eastern Europe here.

Broke my s7 edge's diplay (no warranty).

So I can repair it for 350~ $ or buy a new one for 700$ (with 2 year warranty).

However the s8 (non plus) is around 800$, should I just go for it? However it has a lower battery (3000 vs 3600) and I don't see much advantages besides the screen.

any news on htc's or nokia's mid range phone?

Just broke my LG g2. Now I'm using Sony z3 compact tablet as a temporary phone, and I love it, but it doesn't really fit into my pocket.

Looking for a new phone:

$550 max
Camera at least as good as in LG g4

Can wait for a few months if something good is coming.

currently have a mi max. if i were to upgrade id want the same sized screen or larger (maybe 16:10 ratio). are there any upgrades besides the mi max 2? it seems overpriced for what you get

This is why I hate updating, it always looks like something fucked up

I tried to do a factory reset on a moto g1 and now unless I go into boot mode select it always starts with erasing and goes to the dead android screen.
If I go into boot select and do a normal boot it works and does first time setup but then when I reboot it does it again.

I'm sure he wouldn't and the Z/Z Play are his preference; my desire was to find out whether the other phones were good alternatives.

>>62203672

If you have a phone with a screen bigger than 5.4", you're compensating for your tiny dick.

I was told it wouldn't work since my phone isn't necessarily tuned for that.
I might as well buy the adapter and give it a shot, since there's no other option...

The Xperia XZ1's battery is only 2,700? That's concerning. Any other new phones coming this month (or already out) with an actually viable battery life? Heard the Moto Z2 Play or Moto X4 are some options, but any others?

I don't care about gaming, I just a need a decent phone for making my everyday shit.

>>62206811
2,700mah isn't *that* bad, as the SD835 is actually pretty power efficient and the XZ1 is using a smaller 5.2" 1080p display. Galaxy S8 gets great battery life with 3000mah and that's with it powering a 5.8" 1440p display.

>>62206918
Redmi Note 4 Global

>tfw using an iphone since i was 17-18 made me technologically inept
No wonder people say apple is for plebs

Guys I'm conflicted.

On one hand I tried a Galaxy S8 for a month when it first came out. I loved the hardware, hated the software. Android just feels so shoddy for me and I don't really need all the "openness" of it. On the other hand the new LG V30 looks so fucking good but has Android. It's either LG V30 or iPhone 8 for me.

>>62206934
5.8" OLED that is more efficient than LCDs AND runs at 1080p by default unless told specifically to run at 1440p.

>>62189997
>>62189927

They look so happy

>>62206945
Looks like a really good option, any other recommendation?

>>62207091
Moto G5 / G5 Plus, Nokia 6 maybe. Can you import or only buy local?

I need a good phone under $200 that isn't Moto, because you fucking faggots already memed me into buying two of those, and they always go to complete buggy shit after a couple months.

>>62207149
>good phone under $200
>always go to complete buggy shit after a couple months

that's any phone under $300-400 pretty much. Welcome to cheap chink shit. Even if you're buying from a decent brand, at that price point you're buying garbage.

>>62207110
I would prefer to import it, because prices here are overpriced as fuck.
I think I'm gonna get the Redmi Note 4, it's the best option, I don't really like Moto G5 or the G5 Plus, and my carrier doesn't seem to support the Nokia 6. Thanks!

>>62206732
But it was your phone and it's subject to external factors that you can't control and will break it anyway, doesn't matter if the nuggers are to blame

>>62207155
Well what's my best option in this price range?

I'd rather gamble with chink shit than go back to Moto "you will literally be unable to receive text messages after 5 months" G.

>>62206068
Accidents do happen. I mean I've never had to grab my phone out of a toilet yet but, that kind of thing seems pretty common.

>>62207297
Make sure you get the version with Snapdragon 625 and check it supports your carrier's bands (if they use B4 or B20 you want Note 4 Global)

Would Sprint let me replace my v20 with a different phone if I have burn in?

>>62188925
LG fx0

>>62207402
No

Also how the fuck do you get screen burn in on a fucking IPS panel?

>>62207486
That's what I thought, but apparently LG was able to get IPS panels that don't have the main advantage they're supposed to have over OLEDs

I'm pre ordering my Note 8 in about 10 minutes, anyone want to talk me out of it? Also how is the verizon GoUnlimited plan?

>>62207550
Technically it's just image retention and not true burn-in. It isn't permanent and if you leave your screen off for 12-24 hours it will go away. However if you use your device often, it's going to come back fairly quickly. Apparently the LG V20 has a fairly big issue with it at higher brightness settings.

>>62207575
I preordered mine within 2 hours of preorders being open.

Looking to be a pretty top tier phone. Only real downside is the price, which for many of us isn't particularly an issue.

You'll need to define what a "good" camera is for you since nowadays it's not all about megapixels and sheeeit.

I am not recommending you buy at Saturn but their page gives you a quick rundown of the prices for some Xiaomi phones https://saturn.pl/telefony-i-smartfony/smartfony.xiaomi

>>62208283
>>62208283

Also, I tend to use Saturn as a sort of demo store as I can take a look at the phone and get a physical feel of the model on display and also check the actual model number for LineageOS support down the line.

If it's brand new it's covered under the manufacturers warranty, just get it replaced you beta cuck.

I'm planning to finally upgrade from my Moto G2 to a Oneplus 5 after watching a fuckton of reviews, planning to get 128gb/8gb since it doesn't support SD card expansion, I read that 8gb is a meme, anyone with experience on the 1+5?

>>62210442
I've heard that Samsung is kinda stingy when it comes to physical defects/damage, and will often try to blame it on the user and make them pay, even if the user is not at fault, is this true? In my case, there's a weird circle shaped scuff on the top of the screen.

>beta cuck
thanks /pol/

>>62210472
Not in my experience, especially for brand new devices.

Shit shows up damaged all the time, generally due to shipping. Samsung will likely just throw a new panel on it and ship it back out as new, or potentially refurbed.

>>62210617
Alright, that's good to know, thanks. It's pretty frustrating since I just went through this shit just a few months ago after my old LGG4 boot looped, was hoping I wouldn't have to use another crappy loaner phone again.
