U11 still best flagship

Just wanted to say something:

>iPhone X is shit, LG, Samsung, Xiaomi, Essential they all had edge to edge displays before Apple and the G6 is much more affordable...

>Note 8 is not worth it over a Galaxy S8, S pen is just a meme.

>LG V30 will be the best phone of the year but nobody will fucking buy it.

>OP5 is the worst OP phone ever.

>iPhone 8 is horribly 2015-ish...

>Apple bragging about wireless charging when Palm had it in 2009 and Nokia in 2012.

>iPad Pro is the best fucking tablet and Android isn't even trying.

>Huawei Mate 10 will be better than the Note 8 and more powerful too.

>Xiaomi will dominate the electronics world by 2030.

HTC has terminal cancer.

>>62420917

not while they're making Pixels they don't

the fuck is up with used phone prices. $40+ for galaxy ace 4. it's an ace 4 not an s4. ridiculous prices even for horribly outdated shit like s2

>still no Nokia 7
I'm gonna buy the x compact instead I guess. Or the x and go with sailfish OS.

I'm actually considering buying the iPhone X because I been wanting a phone that isn't just android. My HTC One M9 is a literal dumpster fire. This thing is like holding hot cup of water for hours on end and the camera quality is garbage. The property software is everywhere like the bullshit ATT apps they preloaded and have to disable them in settings and do not plan to root because of my family photos and other important documents on my phone. The only good thing about this phone is the DAC and the speakers.

I love Android but I want to try iOS for a change and i do not care for the price, just want to try their new flagship, see how it is, if it shit I'll just return it for my money and get a Samsung note 8

>>62420953
It's supposed to release next year in January

Saw some anon talking about the amazon prime deal smartphones last thread, thought it seems like a cool idea since you can pay to remove the ad stuff. Just noticed though that it looks like it comes with non-ad shit installed; now I wonder if you can actually remove that crap or if it's permanently built into the OS.

Look at the into getting a pixle if you want to experience android

What kind of phone should I buy? On ATT, unlimited budget but still want to get my money's worth. Must have a headphone jack and last me hopefully 3 years. Plz no apple products

>>62421022
>thought it seems like a cool idea since you can pay to remove the ad stuff.
nigga what

the discount you get for allowing the ads is the whole point

>>62421115
Lg v30 since you clearly don't want s8.

>>62421124
I'm saying it's cool because you can save now and if it TRULY annoys you, you can get it gone later.

>>62420901
Nobody will buy the v30 because it looks just like a S8 except the S8 has better specs and only 500bucks BRAND NEW.

[spoiler]The LG v30 seems too good to be true, honestly.

Or maybe it's a PS4 situation where it's simply good by default since the competition shit the bed.[/spoiler]

Why would anyone pay more than $300 for a smartphone?

I'm currently using a moto g2 and want to switch to something similar but obviously better. Turns out I can get moto g5 (3gb version, not plus) for relatively cheap. Any reason not to get it? Is it decent enough for its price? Any better alternatives?

I've never owned anything but Motorola phones (Razr, OG Droid, Droid 4, Droid Turbo 2) and I'm in the market for a new phone but good God Motorola has gone to shit. Moto Mods are the stupidest shit on the planet. All the phones look like shit with those exposed pins (or whatever they are) and huge ass camera bumps, and all the mods are fucking retarded (gay ass garbage brand speakers, a bigger battery when the droid turbo 2 already had a big ass battery without looking like a turtle, and none of the new motorola phones have these sexy backs.

I fucking loved my turbo 2 (had some complaints but the pros far outweighed the cons) and now I need a new phone after Jamal swiped my shit, but everything feels like a letdown in some way (I can't even go back to 1080x1920.) The Galaxy S8+ looks good on paper but it has an ugly back and

Had a go of a Mi6 in a Xiaomi store today and it was much smaller than I thought. Also, the store said that they don't do refunds.

Not sure I could bring myself to buy it.

If I do, I'll buy it from HK Goldway when I'm back in the UK so I at least have a chance of returning it if it's DOA

Looking to buy a new phone, tired of using iphone(currently have an iphone 6 plus), is the s8+ any good? Was also thinking of getting the OP5, that phone worth a look?

>>62421933
Jelly screen lottery for OP5. Don't recommend. Note 8 or Pixel

To those who use phone cases, do you use generic ones or specialty ones (ex. those panatone iphone cases)

>>62422013
Generic ones
As long as they go over the screen I'm not terrible fussed
I don't do silicone cases because they warp about 30 seconds after putting them on, but I like TPU cases

i got a snapdragon 400 phone for $14 but i guess that was a fluke

>>62422458
Different times buddy...

The OP2 was meh but the company was new and they were still learning things, plus, the phone was fucking cheap.

The OP5 feels out of the club because it lacks an edge to edge display like the best flagships of this year.

That and the iPhone look killed the OP5 this year for me.

>>62422429
Not underpowered, enough for most users actually.

I'm a complete tardo when it comes to phone rooting. Can anyone spoonfeed me a good guide for the S5 active?

But can you use an external screen as a secondary screen? Not just mirroring.

Getting my first smartphone soon and have been lurking this general for a while, but want this one question answered in real-time. How many gigs of RAM are ideal for a phone? Specifically if I plan to install games and emulators?

3 if you're on a tight budget

The battery is the problem right there. Hard to fit it into smaller phones. And pretty much overpowered imho. Remember that with a smaller screen comes less power consumption. Closest bets to your demand right now: Google pixel or Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime

My 5X died yesterday, it's now stuck in an eternal bootloop and won't be recognised by ADB, even in recovery mode (but fastboot sees the bootloader). I'm in the UK, should I wait for LG v30 bought outright or go for something else? Almost pushed the button on a LG G6 last night but held off.

LG V20 masterrace reporting in. Just wanted to let all you iCucks and Samshit users who the real big dog is in the smartphone world.

>>62424681
Contact Google, try to get them send you a Pixel

Why isn't the iPhone X the best smartphone right now?

>>62424724
All their support sites are sending me to LG instead, who I guess are unlikely to send me a pixel.
(on top of that, I can't get into my amazon account to get the order page thanks to 2FA being enabled and no phone to generate the code)

I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

A friend offered me a barely used Moto G4 for roughly 100 bucks. I'm tight on money so although my current phone hangs a lot, I'm not sure if the Moto would be worth the investment.

Would it even be a hardware upgrade? Seems to be a budget phone. If it barely manages to run even a browser I should keep the money and try saving for something better.

>>62424934
Just save for something better. It's never worth going from one budget phone that barely does what you want, to a other budget phone that is marginally better.

$220 will get you an LG G Stylo 3 Plus via TMobile. Around the same will get you a Samsung J7.

>>62424771
keep pestering them, I know a lot of the people with bootlooping Nexus 6Ps have been sent Pixel XLs to replace them. Maybe send them a tweet, it's bad PR for them if they don't replace it.

I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi 4x from gearbest. It's my first chinkphone.

Does it really take them weeks to just dispatch it like I've read online?

I ordered DHL delivery. How likely is it that I'll have to pay import tax? (here in Ireland it's very rare for imports to catch you)

>>62425062
DHL means import taxes are pretty much 100% guaranteed.

>>62425062
Mine took about 10 days to arrive with DHL. No additional taxes (In Germany)

>>62425071

Do DHL add any other charges on top of import? Do I pay on my doorstep or do I have to pay before I get my item?

Whats the best postage option to escape customs and not take forever?

>>62425099
yeah I think DHL adds their own charges too. The slower shipping options are more likely to escape customs

>>62425095

10 days after ordering, or after dispatch?

money isn't really that big of a deal in this case

I've been using Note 4 for past few years, I'm now buying either s8,s8+,or note 8...

Would I have trouble getting used to s8 smaller size? And should I wait for note or just get s8+ if that's the better option?

Thanks reddit.

iPhone will always last longer. Longer support and better build quality. I doubt the 3T will even be supported next year.

I have a few questions
1) can anyone find the outright buying price of the OP3T on O2 in the UK?
2) what version equivalent is oxygen OS on i.e is it similar to android 7 or 6
3) USB type c mean I'll need new cable right? they don't work with micro usb do they?

2) It's on Android 7.1 with an update to 8.0 coming at the end of the year.

also I heard rooting doesn't void warranty is this still true if bought through O2?

Well then save more money. Because unless you're willing to let go of the stock Android/easy to flash Android requirements, you're looking at a minimum $300 phone.

on Kimovil the 4/64 Redmi Note 4 is ~165€, the Mi A1 (also 4/64) is ~180€

Want to know about this too

Wanting a new phone 'round Xmas time. Living in the US of A, with AT&T as my carrier. Budget is not an issue, really.

I'll be upgrading from a Note 4. I don't think I much care about size and the pen functionality in the Note isn't at a feature I need. Better battery life would be ideal, but I think there's kind of a standard across all phones at this point. I'm not a huge fan of Samsung's TouchWiz, but if they're making the best phones, then I'm willing to suck it up and deal with it. Ability to root would be a nice bonus.

What buy?

>>62426488
Either change the battery after some time, or don't use Dash Charge.

>>62426992
>don't use Dash Charge
can you just turn it off in the settings?

Is there a phone with a dedicated camera button and a silent mode on/off switch?

>>62427007
Off course you can, that shit overheats the battery af.

>>62427034
don't think there is a phone that has both. you can use the volume buttons to take photos on many phones though

What do we think of the OnePlus 5? Is there a good reason to not get this phone?

>>62427092
There is, Zenfone 4 Pro.

>Not more than 5" display size
>Not less than 3000 mAh in battery capacity
>3.5mm jack
>USB Type C port; at least 3.0
>Stock Android; will receive future updates
>Has both a dedicated camera button and a silent mode on/off switch
>No biometric security systems
>Has IR blaster
>Has NFC
>MIL-STD-810G compliant
>IP68 certified

Does such a phone exist?

>>62427202
no

>>62427216
Why not?

>>62427223
The 3.0 type C port isn't that common, together with sotck android, IR blaster and IP68, the closest thing i can think of is the G6 or the V30.

>>62427199
Physically, these two phones look suspiciously similar.
I'll keep an eye out for reviews though on the Zenfone. One of the main things I wasn't happy about with the OP was the lack of an mSD card slot, and the Zenfone has one while being relatively the same otherwise.

Thanks for the heads up on it, there's too much shit to keep track of.

Why haven't Sony and HTC and Blackberry given up on the phone market yet? Are they not bleeding cash year after year since Apple and Samsung rekt them all?

>>62427202
When's the last time you've used the IR blaster on a phone? I don't think I've ever used mine.

>>62427339

>>62427351

You're welcome, also take a look at the ZenUI, they have some cool features, use gsmarena to compare phones.

I don't get the metal and glass "premium build" meme. Plastic is fantastic desu. Those Lumia phones got it right, at least for their materials and build quality.

>smaller than 5"
>headphone jack
>max 300€

What are my options? So far I'm zoning in on Xperia x compact, but are there any similar options? I don't want it to get outdated too quickly. The size is the most important factor, last phone was 5"2 (right now on borrowed old iPhone) and I remember finding it too large for me.

>>62427464
Galaxy A3 2017. That's pretty much it

Alright, thanks. Still leaning towards the X compact, are there any major reasons for me to not buy that phone? I've been satisfied with my sonys before, but they were flagships iirc (Xperia arc s, Xperia z2) so I will expect less from this one.

>>62422429
Underpowered for what?

CDMA and they only allow certain phone manufacturers to use their services. For example I wanted the oneplus 3t but can't because you can't get 4glte or any form of data on it. The worst part is when you live out in the middle of nowhere you have no choice but to deal with them

>>62429052

>>62429052
>>62429091
Verizon locks down any phone bought through them (permanently), and prevents the majority of unlockable/rootable devices from being brought to their network if you decide to buy them outside of Verizon. Even if you don't plan on rooting or unlocking your phone, you straight-up can't use it on Verizon.

I can't comment on their value (or lack thereof) in terms of plan costs or whatever, but the fact that they absolutely fuck over any device you want to use is unacceptable to me.

So I just got these.
Jesus christ VR sucks ass, don't buy into the hype.
Higher resolution than the oculus rift, still able to count every pixel.
Apart from that the experience really isn't special, like sitting very close to a 3d screen. I don't understand those people losing their shit over some shitty rollercoaster video

I know it's the same shit as the G5 plus but with a better camera, but I'm still waiting to upgrade to something

>>62429337
roomscale VR is good
I've tried the Rift and the Oculus, both are basically the same, and both are infinitely better than phone """VR"""

I'm not saying it's not a gimmick
But it's definitely more than people like to say it is. When you can actually interact with what's being displayed and the environment, it's miles better than just being able to move your head around a bit to change the view while sitting/standing in place. From experience I can say the screen-door effect is minimized as well when you're actively engaged in the game. NOT to say that the effect isn't there; just that it's not blatant while playing.

Different beasts entirely, imo.

>>62422506

>>62429421
You realise motomods are the reason they made the phone as thin as possible?

>>62429655

Why not get the same model if you like the one you have?

I don't think you can buy it anymore
Preferably it would be nice if there was something that also had a huge battery, and running better/more up to date specs

i just googled moto z play. Any reason i should pick full "z" instead of z play?

>z has 4k display, i don't need it
>z has also better soc, i guess i could want this one
>z play has better battery, headphone jack, and mods are supposedly working the same way on both devices

Seriously, the only true advantage of big Z is RAM and camera (supposedly Z has less megapixels and brighter optics). I'm interested in buying one of those because of this keyboard add-on, so i might want it to live as long as possible and more ram should make it usable for years to come. It's not like i'm going to get any other unlocked keyboard smartphone in the future.

Z or Z play?

>>62429029
Are you joking? Redmi note 4 has exactly what you described, newer processor, and has the most custom ROM support out of all the xiaomi phones.

I have the possibility of buying a new n9 because I always wanted to have one.
being 5 years old is the battery shit or is it good since it was never used?
does anyone know? pls help

>>62429981
You pretty much answered yourself on the first >.
Do you want a 4K screen? If not, Z play.
Will you be doing heavy gaming? If not Z play.
Do you ABSOLUTELY need the thinnest phone you can get? If not, z play.
I don't think there's any reazon to get the regular Z.
Oh, the camera is slightly better I guess.

Does anyone have/know about the BlackBerry DTEK60?

I had a blackberry years ago and swore to never use the company again because it was supposed to be an iphone competitor yet lagged all the time in basic shit like scrolling through menus

Apparently this Snapdragon 820 thing does the same - is blackberry really this retarded? can anyone confirm?

>>62430151
Because it's the only version that has B20 (used in almost all of Europe) and B4 LTE (used in North and South America). If you live elsewhere then the Note 4X is fine too.

>>62430030
>slightly better camera
That's my main concern. I'm googling samples as we speak and the more samples i see, the more i'm convinced to get normal Z.

But then again, i bet 3GB of ram should be enough to take on some kind of android P in the far future, and i don't think i should sacrifice battery life for some camera bullshit. I think i should get Z play after all, i just hope it'll have enough processing power to hold up for years to come.

Just to be sure: motomods are single platform and as long as device has the connector, it'll fit? My moto z keyboard will fit in Z2?

It is forbidden for any device that can connect the cellular network to cross the border for retail purposes with any postal service. So you have to shop locally or bring one with you while coming back to Turkey.

Just wanted to say the Nextbit Robin is on sale for $130 right now on Amazon and you can easily throw LineageOS on it. Currently the best poorfag phone imho.

Are there any recent phones that allow for 2 mSD cards at once? I'm kind of curious to know what the max storage you can have would be. Highest internal I've seen is 128GB, with 256GB from an SD. So I guess if you had two slots that'd be 640GB.
