Contract is up in March, what phone should I be hyped up for? I heard LG G5 rumored to be released around that time. I have a G2 right now and it's still tugging along.
I'm going to stick with android and going to pick between s5 and s6
But what is this neo and edge shit? Edge is newer than the s6, but costs less?
Just tell me bros should i spend the extra 100 to go from s5 to s6?

>>51986646
Note5 is fine if you personally dont use mSD cards or need the removable battery, don't fall under the false impression your needs are the exact same as everyone elses.
Noob to android here.
Looking into getting the s6. Does it take less to customization/rooting/rice as opposed to other phones?

best phone that;
* has good hardware (wifi, radio, camera optional)
* quality software (responsive input, doesn't crash/need power cycles)
* +1 day battery life
* app support
Used to own a Palm Pre 2 util it started acting up (battery, audio and UI problems).
Currently got pic related.

Nexus 6p has the most buttugly design of the last years. That dark band on top of the phone where the camera is.. is just Chinese level of design, blended with Google's notorious lack of taste.
Just no.
>>51986885

>>51986894
Like wtf is that elevated dark band suddenly jumping out of the metal frame? Wtf is that? Who designed that? It looks like utter shite.
I'm not even kidding or fucking with you. It's simply awful. Hell, I could design a phone better than that. "Hey guyse, lets just write Nexus on the metal back and make one huge protruding dark band on top of the body, where the camera is."
>>51986752
Wouldn't recommend the s6 because of touchwiz, too intrusive for me and I know there was a RAM management issue idk if it's been fixed yet

Unfortunately, no support for T-Mobile VoLTE.
>>51986944
You get used to it. I'm not sure if this was Huawei's reasoning, but it allows the phone to be flat on tables without the edges needing to be flat so it's easy to hold and pick up. This could be serendipitous though, I doubt those cheap chink designers thought that deeply.

the multi tasking "issue" is still there, but it's only an issue if you're multitasking between 6+ apps regularly.
If you aren't, then it isn't an issue for you and you can ignore all the talk about it.
95% of people will never use 6+ apps at once.
For the 5% who do, they might get annoyed by apps reloading occasionally.

What's the point of 4gb of ram if I can't have ~10 apps preloaded?
>>51988621
>>it's only an issue if you use the phone
riiiight.
I have been using the Note5 daily since it launched. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have had it reloading apps on me.
At most I am using 4-5 apps at once, pandora or spotify, web browser, hangouts, and maybe snapchat or facebook messenger.
Not to mention, the handful of times I have had an app reload, it's fast as fuck because this phone is literally faster than all other android phones currently out.
Based Exynos 7420, Qualcomm couldnt compete at all this year.
>>51988650
I can have 6 apps open on my 930 with 2GB RAM
>>51986752

I bought a 640 because I thought it would be okay, or even decent enough to use for a few months while waiting for a 950. Turns out WP is still super shitty and simply can't compete with Android, so I switched back to Android right away.

Does it exist?
Does the 6p get 5 Hours of SOT minimum? I can't buy a phone that doesn't offer that.
>>51988650
Background processes.
Touchwizz is fairly heavy because it also has a fuck ton of features, all the spen features, the themes you can load, samsung pay, multi window mode, one handed mode, go down the list of things stock android doesnt do that touchwizz does, and that's why.
Sure it'd be nice if it could have 10+ apps open, but from a user perspective, what the fuck does it matter if I almost never run into the RAM "issue" during actual use?
Again I have had the phone for 4 months as my daily phone and it rarely if ever is reloading apps on me.

>>51988707
Nah senpai, I don't upload food nor use any filters on my Instagram.
But it's for those moments when I don't want to carry my DSLR.
>>51988695
Yeah, aren't things like the dialer and camera always running? That seems useful.
I guess it doesn't really matter. I just got excited at the idea of having my most used apps (about 7) open at all times so I never have to deal with loading. But considering how fast the phone is, it balances out.
Since you have a Note 5 though, can you explain the weird battery situation from the end of the video?
>>51988676
>Turns out WP is still super shitty and simply can't compete with Android,
True. No one who has used a decent android or even Ios will consider WP. WP users are mainly first time smartphone users, who have never experienced having apps.
>>51988676
>>no apps
>>most of the apps in the app store are fake and possibly malware
Sure thing. I've shilled this phone to at least 4 people IRL. From noobs to people who can figure tech out none of them ever complained about it.
It was the phone I was going to buy when it was released, but I decided to get the 930.
>>51988759
>Since you have a Note 5 though, can you explain the weird battery situation from the end of the video
I am on AT&T and I can pretty readily get 4-5 hours SoT. More if I am watching my brightness and keeping it a bit low.
Android M update later this month or next will apparently make it even easier to get 6+ hours.

Hell, I'm not even getting paid for this shilling. I just love T-Mobile.
>>51988847
>Fuck me for signing up wit T-mobile
Yeah no experience with them personally so IDK about any of that shit.
Though I would expect the Android M update will likely help the Tmobile variants battery life as well.
>>51988917
I like it. The service is fine, I'm just upset that the Note 5 is poor on it.
>>51988917
The Note5 on tmobile gets worse battery life than all the other carrier variants.
>>51988566
It uses the same panel that's in the note 5
>>51988895
Different people, different needs.
I wanted a phone with a good camera. The iPhone 5s at the time was (it still is) expensive as fuck. I tried the Z4, didn't feel good. The 1520 was fuckenhueg. The 930 felt like the better choice.
>>51988966
>It uses the same panel that's in the note 5
No it doesn't
It uses a current gen AMOLED panel.
But it isn't the Note5 one, unless the engineers at Huawei simply have no idea how to calibrate displays, testing shows the Nexus 6P panel is not as good as the Note5 panel.
It might be panels that are lower quality that samsung sells to other manufacturers, but it for sure isn't the same panel in the Note5, that much is obvious.
>>51986821

>>51989084
>best android phone tittle is between note 5 and v10
I'd even go so far as to say both the V10 and Note5 are the best android phones, but for different reasons.
If you want a ton of media and a removable battery as well as solid hardware specs, the V10 is the best android phone out right now for you.
If you dont need to carry 100GB+ with you and you dont need removable battery, but you want the best camera, and best display, best SoC, best hardware in general you can get for android, then the Note5 is the best android phone for you.
>>51989084
Add in Droid Turbo 2 (for Verizon) or Moto X Force for unparalleled durability and BB Priv for the keyboard.
>>51989084
>>51989111
Lg g4 still has better screen-body ratio than the v10, same soc, and is getting quite cheap now.
>>51989150
Eh, but pretty much everything else the V10 does better.
The G4 certainly isn't bad, but I wouldnt call it phone of the year, though if it can be found for a good price, no reason not to pick one up.
>>51989150
V10 is good for that build though. Rubber + stainless steel. 2nd most durable phone after Moto X Force.
Neither the Note 5 or V10 are out in the UK for some retarded reason.
Thinking of getting the Xperia Z5. After years of being on android I wanted to give iOS a spin but I've become highly attached to using clover during work. iOS has no 4chan app right?
>>51989233
Note5 comes out in a few weeks in the UK
and no iOS doesn't have a 4chan app.
WebMs are especially difficult to play on iphone.
>>51988992
Still a terrible thing to pick a phone from. You'll be using the OS all the time you use the phone. same with the SoC. You'll have to deal with the battery life at the end of every day. You'll use the screen for hours each day. You might Shoot a few shots every day at most, sacrificing what you do 99% of the time for getting a few shots in possibly higher quality, still absolutely not bad quality is pretty stupid. You have a real camera (and rightfully so) for serious photography.
>>51989254
I suppose the only thing that really appeals to me about iOS is that the apps seem to be much better supported on there than android and there's a lot more fitness integration shit you can do.
Otherwise androids pretty solid if a bit laggy at times.
Really wish we had a time line for android pay in the UK

>>51989165

Sure, the v10 does it a little better but I prefer the g4 design and size, and It's so much cheaper in some places, it's really worth it
>>51989477
G4 with a fingerprint sensor would've been my ideal phone
>>51989477
Yeah, that's a good price for it. I even 200-250 wouldnt be bad.
>>51988917
Note5 on Verizon. Phone is perfect with Nova Prime. EXPENSIVE and lack of root, but it does everything perfectly with perfect service.
>>51989525
>fingerprint sensor
No gimmicks, best thing about the g4
>>51989525
Yeh. I went for it because it was pretty much the only flagship smartphone with removable battery and SD card storage.
>>51989542
>Phone is perfect with Nova Prime
yeah, even without Nova launcher it isn't terrible, but Nova launcher makes it even better.

So what's the better phone, /g/, LG G4 or Note 4?
Currently have the G4, wondering if I should 'sidegrade'.
>>51990549
Thanks
Looks like Mi 4c is the winner
Wouldve loved the OnePlus X but the whole bands deal...
Now what sites does /g/ trust to buy Chinese phones?
Any G4 Dual sim owners here?
I hate dual sims but I don't want to spend extra for importing single sim.
>>51986864

>>51990829
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5L0C5nqX-4
>>51990738
Very important factor to consider when shopping for Chinese phones. Make sure that they have compatible LTE bands to whatever your carrier of choice is.
The phone will almost always be able to have reception over 2G and 3G networks for calling. Not all sill match your carrier for LTE data.
Example: I have T-Mobile which uses bands 2, 4, and 12. I wouldn't be able to get any data on a phone with odd-numbered LTE bands, which is pretty much all the chinkphones.
Decent hardware, good price, great reception (in the eastern hemisphere).
So with all the appreciation for the Note 5 and V10, I take it the stock Android meme is kill.
>>51990229
Maybe
>>51990229
How long do you want to keep your phone?
If it's a year or less, Motorola/Lenovo should be ok. But if you plan on keeping it for more than a year, the Nexus is superior.
Why? Because there's no telling when Lenovorola will discontinue support for the Pure. No telling if they are going to start adding Lenovo spyware to the OTAs they send you. With Nexus you have peace of mind. Even when official support ends after two years you will still get security updates and a booming dev scene will mean you'll have ROMs for years to come.

What kind of case do I get for the nexus 6p? Or is it too big for a case?
Nexus 5X 16 GB, Galaxy S6 32 GB or G4 lads? They all cost the same here. Which one has the best camera?
for $200 budget am i better getting a nexus 5, moto g, or zenfone 2 laser?
>>51991650
They sell an official case on the Google Store, I have one for the 5X which has like a fabric back, it's pretty nice but a little bulky.
>>51991824
5X for great camera and amazing software.
S6 for amazing camera and shit software
G4 for good camera and shit-but-not-as-shitty-as-samsung software
>>51991845
Nexus 5 for excellent all rounder but poor battery life. Is two years old already so likely won't receive official Android N.
Moto G for battery life and Lenovo spyware. Motorola phone so expect support to be dropped within a month of you buying it.
Zenfone 2 Laser for bloatware and cleanmaster spyware apps built into the ROM to subsidize the price of the phone.
>>51991845

>fall under the false impression your needs are the exact same as everyone elses.
Anyone who doesn't need a removable battery is okay with planned obsolescence and buying a new phone every year. I.e. autists. Now please kill yourself.
>>51989011
It uses lower-binned note 5 displays. It looks pretty much the same but is lower in power efficiency. It still performs marginally better than the note 4's display though.
>>51991999
you realize you can change the battery in a phone with a non-removable battery, right?
It just means you can't fast swap it in 30 seconds, it takes 10-20 minutes and some tools and maybe glue.
Sure it's a bit of a pain, but you're only going to be doing it once maybe twice during the lifetime of your phone. Or you can pay a repair shop ~$50 to do it for you.
>>51991603
Stock android is fine, it just requires a lot of 3rd party apps to bring the same functionality you would get in touchwizz or LG's UI.
The downside is touchwizz and LG's UI might have features you dont use at all, these are just bloat for you since you wont use it. However, the feature set of current touchwizz and LG's UI are fairly good and offer some truly useful features stock android simply doesnt give you. And since they are designed in house they can be optimized specifically for that device.
So if you want to take the time and effort to make your own personal android with your own hand selected apps to do every possible thing you need, or you can get touchwizz or LG's UI and just have some features you wont use, but a bunch of others you will built in to the OS.
Is battery life on iPhones better than Android or is that just a ruse?

I fucking hate TouchWiz, it's literally complete AIDS. The only thing I appreciated about it was the fast toggles with one swipe. Lollipop on the Turbo removed that.
>>51993149
yes
that is what the phone looked like after less than 2 weeks of use. Im sure its just finger oil, but I couldnt get it wipe off. My guess is they just cheaped out on the plastic. I cannot imagine what it would like 6 months or a year from now...so I sent it back.
>>51993338

Im fine with the iPhone, it does what I need it to do. Also, iMessage fucking rocks, and I didnt appreciate it as much until I didnt have it.
>>51986646
I love the note 4's build, especially with the faux leather s-view. Hopefully the note 6 will return to the same design and the rumored s7+ will take the place of having a non-removeable glass back
>>51992152
All iphones have good standby time while 6+ and 6s+ has good SOT and standby time.
Anyone here have troubles ricing their Iphone 6S+? Mine should come in the mail in a couple hours and I really want to continue ricing.
How hard is it to get it jailbroken? Thats the same as rooting right?
>>51993561
I am scared to text people without imessage, not sure wha they will think of me
>>51993608
Should I pull the trigger on a one plus? I was looking for something good around $400.

>comparing a $700 iphone to a $420 'android'
>>51983189
Why are iPhone so disgustingly expensive ? I'd really like to give one a try but 600 bucks for a phone with 16gb of storage is absolutely overkill.

kek that shit will NOT be around longer than a Moto X pure. All 6ps will be dead from hardware fuckery within a year. At least the Motorola is a real phone

I'm familiar with the term generation y. What does z mean ?

Or, like what I do with my Note 4, you can carry several charged batteries. I use them on train rides and swap between them in an instant. The note 5 is a downgrade from the note 4
>>51994360
its a downgrade in a few areas that if you dont need, aren't a downgrade at all.
I have had phones with removable battery, sure it's useful, but it's far from needed in 2015. I have wireless charging and quick charging. It is maybe once in 3 months I will find myself actually worried my phone might die, and since the Note5 has Ultra power saving mode, I can easily get 3-5 hours of juice more once it gets down to 5%.
And the same to mSD cards, sure if you want to carry your 100GB+ music/movie collection around with you, the Note4 is gonna be more appealing.
I personally have a home server that has all my media stored on it, so as long as I am on wifi (which I am for 90% of the day at work). I can stream my music and movies just fine.
In actual CPU and GPU performance, the Note5 is clear upgrade.
>>51983205
In my heart of hearts, I just KNOW some nigger with fake nails jabbed the screen too hard and broke it.
>>51993740
Can't advise on the hardware but I have a Wileyfox and Cyanogen is great, much better than stock Android imo
>>51994493
Kinda disappointing that you can't encrypt the msd card on the wileyfox.
Niggers what do you think on HTC M8? What's your headphone experience with it? I'm about to get it cause audio output but idk, I'm an unsure noob.
Planing on wearing with Xiaomi Piston 3
Nexus 5 or 5x? 340 Shekels to 400 Shekels. Is that even an OK price?
>>51988732
Yes. A lot bigger than the M8. I went from the M8 to a Oneplus One and had to go back. Not one-handed typing and difficult is certain jeans pockets.
You should consider 5X
>>51994821
In the US a Nexus 5 goes for $200 new. The 5X is $300. If it's that much, might as well go 5X.
>>51994891
what the fuck. eurocucks getting cucked once again. might even be worth to try and import it then.
Can someone help me get this motherfucker unlocked? Ive wasted 5 hours trying to find a way to bypass this verification.
>>51995542
Give it back Tyrone.
Is the Snapdragon 615 processor laggy? Or can it handle stuff like web browsing ad videos well enough (no games)

How can I change the default bullshit touchwiz notification drawer to the default Android one on my galaxy s6?
>inb4 botnet thread
>>51988676
Don't even tell me about it. My moto g died and I had to go back to my lumia 720 while I wait till next month when I'll be able to buy a new one and I'm just losing my fucking mind using this piece of hot garbage. This trash doesn't feel like a smartphone at all, it feels like you're using a fucking prototype or something. There are no apps for anything that isn't some super fucking vanilla shit and even then you're missing some major ones like youtube, steam, psn and etc. Also good luck having ANY local services app.
>>51983189
LOL at first I thought the pic looked decently aesthetic for a smartphone. Then I read >>51992585 and completely agree with anon.
How on earth is that phone gonna function with shit like that on the side. SMFH....
Just ordered a z5 compact, did I fuck up?
>>51997159

My TWRP has stopped working and just gives me an unable to locate partition error. Any idea what I've done wrong?
>>51997257
this, not very good cpu and way overpriced. still fine I suppose.
I'm changing my old LG L7 for a Motorola Moto G (3rd gen)
thoughts?
Since there's no smartphonepurchase general, I will ask here.
What's a medium tier smartphone? I want it versatile but not super powerfull, around 100€, less if possible.
Am I asking too much?
I'm thinking of buying a 1st Gen Moto E, or should I consider getting the Lumia 532 instead?
>>51998867
dont
>>51985512
best phone for autistic people. correct.
>>51999078
0/10 at least post a reason other than shit memes
Best slim case for the 5X? Doesn't need to protect it much, just need to stop worrying about dropping it.
Got an iPhone 4s for free. It's white though so it makes me look extra faggotish but who cares it was for free. Better than my dying Samsung Galaxy S Duos
that /g/ thinks about yotaphone 2 ?
>>51999030
100€ is low Tier garbage anon
>950 xl arrives
no regrets
love it
>>51986646
I agree
What is better than a nexus 6P /g/ and why?
>>51986844
I'm just not participating in smartphone generals anymore, they can mire in their purchasing filth

>>52000883
Nice meme!
>>52000930
even if it is a meme, just reread what you wrote, you're writing as if you're up on some pedestal and think you're better than us. You're acting pretty childish desu senpai.
>>52000955
You're projecting, not wanting to talk about something and not wanting it in a thread I started has nothing to do with being better than anyone else
You can be tired of something and not think you are better or above it, you just don't want anything to do with it
Further proof /g/ is filled with freaking children
>>51988738
what the fuck is it with people and google maps when here maps is better at literally everything? holy fucking shit I don't get you faggots.
>>52000995
yeah you have totally removed yourself from any emotional responses and made a well thought out choice and in no way think you're above anyone else.
>they can mire in their purchasing filth
Oh wait... you're just a butt hurt trip fag.
>>52001045
My butt is perfectly fine, thanks for asking
>>52000995
Since when is consumerism not fun?
>>52001066
It's almost as if what people want to talk about in their own threads is subjective

>>52001134
It's better now though, I appreciate your concern :)
>>52001112
>in their own threads
your sense of entitlement is strong.
You dont own a thread because you started it, or because you're a trip faggot.
>>52001151
Right but when you are off topic posting, that's called shit posting
>>52001165
off topic is a bit of a stretch though, purchase advice is CLEARLY something that can be combined with smartphone discussion.
You just got butt hurt having to deal with the stupid questions and instead of ignoring them and focusing on the discussion you wanted, you threw a bitch fit and decided in your infinite wisdom to split the threads for no other fucking reason then you didn't want to deal with it.
Boo fucking hoo, cry me a river.
>>52001182
I made one thread trying to focus on something else
Shitposters, like yourself, threw the biggest toddler fit ever, so I decided to make my own threads
More cry-babies came in and shit posted
Seems you're the one crying atm senpaifam
Come here, it'll be ok, I can comfort you
>>52001209
>make my own threads
there's that sense of entitlement again.
>>52001233
Isn't it more entitled to think you can post about whatever you want, off topic, in any thread you choose?
Are we really talking about fucking entitlement? Jesus grow a pair!
>>52001233
wow what a fucking faggot
>>51996100
what's that app senpai?

Recommended android browser?
Chrome hasn't been bad so far in my few days of EXTREMELY LIGHT use.
I got a Moto X Pure recently and I like it, at first I thought it was too big but I've gotten used to it and the big screen makes playing games quite a bit more enjoyable.
5.7" is as big as it gets for me though, I'm worried that the next generation of smartphones will all be >6' and that's troubling, that's too big for me.
>>52001361
JSwarts Browser. A chromium browser optimized for snapdragon.
I'm about to get an OPX for 280€, should I go through with this or is there anything for up to 300€ that's overall better?
>>52001361
Firefox. You get addons, so no ads, more privacy and any other thing that you can achieve with them.
>>52001654

Is there a smartphone guide similar to what http://www.ktgee.net/post/49423737148/thinkpad-guide is to laptops?
Looking for a new (used) phone, but it's all mediocre overpriced shit.
>>52001866
Are you retarded?
>>51994716
I'm on my second one and on both of them the bottom speaker doesn't work when playing videos and shit. I don't reccomend it, or anything by htc for that matter. I'm getting a different phone come today for Christmas so it's all good
>>51993319
I'm not sure I understand the difference between TUI and GUI desu. It seems to me that all phones would be TUI
>>52002402
Literally too lazy to find the video on yt, but it's there. Dude bends the phone like it's made out of butter.
>>51998867
I bought mine and ended up sending it back for a refund. IMO if you're going to buy an android spend the extra few hundred dollars and get a nicer flagship desu senpei

For that price you should go for a elephone

Finally upgrading from my LG G3 to a Nexus 6p
>>51986821
thats just looking how much u want to spend and if you are really about rooting and flashing roms. I would go for 6p also im getting it. Moto looks alternative, it is a very good device too. It is under nexus 6p talking about hardware-price ratio. Both good phones. Nexus good about software support.
