GALAXY S3 LTE

Pros:
>works decent even now
>Has somewhat of custom rom support
>2gb of ram
Cons:
Battery drain
Useless on a stock rom (muh touchjizz)

Moto G4 with some random ROM that has been working great for months (AOSGP X)

Pros:
-Fast
-Works with anything I want
-Screen has more resolution than I would want too, and a perfect size
-Doesn't run out of battery too quick
-Nothing stands out about its design and that's what I want
-Seems sturdy enough, fell a good number of times and it doesn't have a scratch

Cons:
-Gets too hot when using anything a little bit demanding, like games
-No notification LED by default, have to flash a ROM for it
-Most ROMs are terrible for it to be quite honest

Iphone 5s

Pros
- it receives texts and calls
- it can play music
- works well enough
cons
- doing anything on it is a hassle unless I get everything apple
- constant reminders to update into something I don't want to update to

Got a galaxy s7 32gb black. Probably the best phone I've ever had, I love it's water resistance, battery life, gestures/features. My oinnly gripes with it are the home button/fingerprt sensor is plastic and wears/scratches after a year use which makes the home button look terrible when the rest of the phone still looks immaculate. it's also impossible to get a glass screen protector that covers the whole screen since the edges are still rounded even when it's not an Edge version.

HTC one M8 GPE
Pro:
>Stock android
>Still works great after 4 years
>Survived a lot of damage
>SD card
>Great screen

Cons:
>To big because of the front-facing speakers
>slippery
>Camera is an absolute fucking joke
>lacks a lot of features newer phones have

>>62379085
I have a Galaxy S4 as a secondary device. Seems any firmware update makes it run like garbage, mines a laggy piece of shit with horrible battery life. 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 both are laggy and drain the battery within 2 hours. I am not paying $20+ for a battery for a phone I can buy for $70 2nd hand though.

Current xiaomi redmi 2
Pros:
>Cool
>Cheap
>Gets the job done
Cons:
>Some apps won't work because one Android
>unusable with headphones because of static noise
>Not the fastest

OnePlus X
Pros:
>Ideal size
>Cheap as F U C K
>Stock Android
>Good DAC
>Great button placement
>Loud speaker but not great sounding
>Good camera for the price

Cons:
>Glass front/back
>Kinda slippery but it's not bad
>Fingerprint magnet

I can recommend this 100% if you can find it for 100 or less.

OnePlus 5 (6GB/64GB version)
Pros:
- relatively cheap
- fast as fucc
- near stock software with a few useful tweaks
- great dev community
- amazing battery life (consistently get 9 hr SoT with the same usage that got me 6 on my S7e)
- DASH charging
- more than enough RAM (and this is on the lower end model)
- decent audio, headphone jack

Cons:
- July security patch
- camera is just ok
- screen kinda blows
- cheapness was offset by import costs to AU + VOOC chargers with AU plugs
- no VoLTE on Telstra (though that's Telstra's fault)

Sony Xperia XZ
Pros:
>good screen size
>aesthetic
>great camera

Cond
>battery life is shit
>a bit expensive (not too far behind samsung galaxy from the same generation)

Honestly I don't know much about specifications because im a tech illiterate, but the phone just werks. Even when I have a lot of apps running it never freezes. Also it feels good. The texture, weight, shape and looks feel orgasmic on the hands.

Zuk Z2 (Unofficial Lineage OS)
Pros:
>SD820, 4/64GB, 1080p screen for only 160€
>Great performance, smooth gayming
>Good headphone audio output

What

>>62378568
>(with stock 7.0 ROM)
Why? The Z Play is on 7.1.1 worldwide, update manually if you have to, it's also getting O.

>maybe I could sell it next year if I get bored of it and buy a chinkphone (Mi A1 looks nice)
Literally the same SOC with a shitty LCD screen instead of AMOLED, worse battery and no NFC.

The Moto Z play is one of the best purchases you can make if you're looking for an affordable option in North America, plus it has all the required bands for Mexico, the US and Canada, it's a champ.

>>62378568
Do the pins for the Mods take any dirt? I've been thinking for buying it, but didn't want a feature that does only harm.

>>62380860
If I bought the Z Play from GearBest, due to the fact that they have to install a different ROM to get the google services because >china
It's stuck on 6.0 something.
Not sure how easy it'd be to root + install 7.1.1 or if it'd be stable as opposed to a phone supported directly by google (mi a1).
I'm currently on a wait-list for the MI A1 but I absolutely love the look of the Moto Z Play, just afraid of buying a "non-chink" phone from china.

>>62380860
Literally the same SOC, sure, but less RAM, and AMOLED is pretty, but burn-in problems are too common for my liking.

One plus 3
Pros:
Camera, android, rootable, size, working fine still after 1.5 years, metal back.

Cons:
Can't buy it anymore

I have the same phone, OP, and I'm absolutely happy with it. It's super fast and responsive and the screen is nice. Plus, I now get to use pretty much every app.

>Quickcharge is amazing.

Cons:

The only good answer: Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Pros: Practically indestructible- drop proof, shock proof, wind proof, water proof, ect.
Bigger battery
More buttons
Buying a phone case is for massive faggots
Sexy af
Cons: battery is non replaceable due to the sealed nature of the phone
>>b-b-but the s7 active!
Fuck that noise, that shit has a smaller battery and is weak as piss. The s6 active is a man's phone.
I've thrown this on asphalt and filmed underwater with it without a case, still uncracked and getting me laid two years later. This phone will outlive all of you.

>>62383026
What about the S8 active?

>>62378568
Best android phone I had in my life

G4 Play
Good:
>Performance is as good as I need and doesn't waste energy being better than that
>Great custom ROM support (official Lineage O confirmed)
>Removable batter
>Headphone jack
>MicroSD slot
>It isn't fuckhuge

Bad
>It'd be cool if it had NFC and a fingerprint scanner, but I don't care that much

It really is hard to find faults with this thing.

>>62383035
Haven't heard enough about it but it doesn't look nearly as rugged, plus no physical buttons on the front

>>62383156
>doesn't look nearly as rugged

It passed the same mil-spec standard, fuck off idiot.


What's the point of passing a survivability standard if retarded faggots like you brush it off with
>well uhh it looks less rugged to me and i'ms a smart purson.

>>62383176
This is a first impression and I'm not looking to buy. Maybe if it proves its worth I'll check it out down the road.

>>62381291
did it really work for you ?

>>62380787
>>62381724
Maybe but it feels waaaay better in hands.
It's too thin and too slippery without the case.

Pros: Android 7.1
5.5" screen and high quality res
Fingerprint sensor
Good camera
Cons:
Laggy and app freezes a lot
Bloatware
2GB ram
Headphones don't sound the best though it but maybe there is something in settings I can change

I wish I bought the Moto G5 but I haven't had as many problems with this phone latley

Xperia Z5 compact
Pros:
>Snippy and fast
>Not quite stock but not too much bloat

>Water and Dust resistant

Cons:
>Gets fuck hot if I refuse to put it down after awhile
>Can't root without fucking up the camera
>Lately it would just overheat to the point that I would have to restart the phone 3 times a day.

It was a good phone, but hopefully resetting it helped it. I don't know if to give Sony one last chance with the Xperia XZ1 compact.

Cons:
>lel bloatware
>only 2GB of RAM
>a bit too large to use with one hand

Still, for less than $150, it's not terrible. Probably should've gone with the Moto e4 though, it's honestly annoying having to use both hands on the phone at all times
