Enjoy your phone that breaks in les than 18 months and has software support for less than 6 months.

>paying top cash for an amoled screen
>getting burn in just from using the same app for a long time
Yeah, nah.
If Samsung offered an optional LCD version, I'd get it. Add an mSD tray and it would be the perfect smartphone.
But I don't think this is going to happen. It's really disappointing how little they care about durability in their phones. Or maybe that's the point : the phone must have planned obsolescence in it.

Which smartphone do you recomend me if i want a nice camera and a battery that lasts long ?
LG v10
Repost from stupid questions, because noone bothered to answer.
Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 vs i9506. Does the CPU difference is really that important here? Also, any known issues with the cheaper version?
Thx in advance, pic semi unrelated.

the sony z5 looks amazing but no contract plans ...
Fuck why are none of the providers taking sony phones
and for some reason the ones on amazon have no warranty
5" max, sd slot, and either curved edges or a curved back
what are my options?

When does the next wave of smartphones start getting announced?
>>52135858
it is.
>>52133912
My Sony Z3 Compact lasts me over a week per charge. I hardly use it though.
Camera is pretty nice.
I presume the Z5's are equally as good in this regard.
>>52135900
the z5c's is just average
>>52135882
This!
Got an acer for 89€. Quad core, 1 GB ram, 8mp cam...2KmAh battery, swappable, holds a charge for long. What else do you need?
>inb4 Muh benchmark processor

I use my phone for cheap comunication, if i want to be a faggot, i just run the apk on blustacks. But rarely are games good and when then they havy shitty graphics anyway, cause gameplay is all, boiz.

you sure bought a crappy phone
take a look at this http://www.antelife.com/elephone-p6000-pro-3gb-mtk6753-1-3ghz-64bit-octa-core-5-0-inch-hd-lg-lcd-screen-android-5-1-4g-lte-smartphone-white.html it's only a bit more expensive

>>52136267
Im not shilling for some crappy acer phone mate.
187 ppi.
There are a ton of the same config and probably even cheaper when i order from china, saw some for 65€. But i got this because of 2 years warranty. Better screen is always nice, but i don't care, because i use it like a pleb and for that purpose it resolution almost doesn't matter.
>>52136265
>only a bit expensive
128$ is not only a bit.
But thanks for the tip, i'l keep an eye on their products when getting my next one.
Yeah, it's always the same, get consumer electronics, realise 3 weeks later that for like 20€ more you could have get some neat shit, but that offer is too late.
I stopped thinking like that, shit just annoyed me.
>>52136416
remember about xiaomi redmi note 2, it's the best phone when it comes to price/performance ratio
it costs the same as the p6000 but has a way faster mt6795
Does anyone have the drive link with the overview of all phones in it? It always was in the op when there was one anon always hosting these
What is the least spying and least apps infested smartphone you can get?
>>52136466
Thank you, i will, has def very nice specs for the price.
What's a good camera app for Android?
Free and no ads/botnet.
I'm using the default CM one and it doesn't even have panorama.
>>52136692
http://www.apksmania.com/
I always use this site to rip any apks i need, never let me down, no viruses no adware. Search for all camera apps and try them out.
The free shit can never be good and add free.
>>52136780
>The free shit can never be good and add free.
Wrong. All the apps I have are ad free and most of them are better than anything paid.
>>52136692
>>52136780
Forgot to add, be so kind to report back how your test went and what's the best app seems to be. Best make a thread if this one closes.
I'm using the stock cam, but only because i make not many snaps.
Is the Sony Z3C good?
I don't have enough for the Z5C.
>>52136692
lgcamera is pretty good but it's paid so find an apk for it
>>52136802
What for example?
Well i am sure there are exceptions. But i never paid for stuff either. Just ripped the apk's. In the end i rarely kept them. But my all time favourite is Thumb Keyboard.
Tested so many keyboards and this was the only one where i could actually resize the keys and the letters in them.
Yes.
i9500 has a more than 2 year old Exynos processor, with sub par performance even on release. The i9506 has one of the best processors of its time, plus it's a Qualcomm, so you might find some custom ROMs for it. I remember flashing a S6 ROM port on my now ex's i9506 and it having awesome battery life. So get the i9506, the performance difference is HUGE.
>>52129342
no it's a windows phone.
anything by microsoft = cancer
Zenfone 2 or Zenfone 2 Laser?
How do the processors and cameras compare?
>>52136969
Thx, I wanted to save up some money by getting I9500 but is seems that's a stupid thing to do.
>>52137820
I wouldn't get either desu senpai. Both of them are very outdated at this time. I assume you're on a budget. Oneplus One is still the best price to performance ratio right now, and you can get it for 300€. Oneplus X is cheaper still, but it has bad frequencies for USA carriers.
>>52135235
pls no.
>>52138057
>Oneplus One
I'm looking for something with SD slot and removable battery so I'll stick with the i9506, It should have enough power and ram for everyday use even without messing with custom roms.
I'm due a new phone this weekend as my contract is up soon, I've narrowed it down to the LG G4 or the Xperia Z5. It needs to last me about 21 months and I don't really play any games, I like taking photos but not in any serious way, I just snap funny shit I see. Other than that, I just want something that works well and will last.
What do?
>>52130612

>>52129342
/g/ was all excited about the 950 a couple of months ago, now they won't even talk about it? What happened?

Unless you're joking, that's fucking stupid
>>52138377
win 10 mobile is shit.
and those were probably all ms shills
>>52133912
friend has the lumia 1020, camera's practically unmatches (duh, that was it's selling point). battery's down to about 70% after a full day of moderate use for calls and video. Would get one myself if I wasn't a poorfag.
>>52138377
ms flippin phoned it in with this one. it's got decent enough specs, but has win 10 is nowhere near ready for release. it's also got a pathetically flimsy casing that creaks during normal handling.
i was all kinds of excited, but it didn't even come to my network (sprint) and i ended up dodging that bullet.
I have here an old Nexus 7 that hasn't been turned on for a year and I can't get it to do anything.
I plugged it and nothing happens, it doesn't boot, it doesn't show a charging animation, nothing.
Now I've heard that Li-Ion batteries can die if they discharge completely, so I'm wondering if the owner inadvertently kill it.
>>52130612
>not just getting a free S5 or a blackberry from your company
>being a faggot who plays games on his phone and waste his time customizing the shit out of it
get yourself a life man
I bought one. I like it.
Is everything else really that much better than Samsung? I've had the s3, the s4, and currently have the note 4 and I don't know of any other problems I've had that other people haven't had. I'm looking into getting a smaller phone because I actually want to use my phone with one hand, and the xperia z3 looks pretty alright.
Should I hold off on getting a new phone or is it high time I step outside of the Galaxy series and try something new?
>>52130612
You should stick with the frogs
So I'm about to move to Russia to fuck some drug sluts this summer, what flip phone should I get? I expect to get stolen lots of times so I would appreciate something in a price range of $30-$100 so I can get 2 or 3 just in case, only requirement it's that the phone allows me call to New York from there.
>>52139635
Did you have any sound issues? I couldnt listen to music louder than 60-70% of loudness or it just dies and I have to turn the volume knob in Poweramp like crazy to turn it on again.
>>52140050
Sounds issues, no. Other than it not being loud enough, I've never had any malfunctions with sound.
>>52138371
and yet it's still the best overall phone of the year.
Unless you're literally autistic and NEED stock android or your autism starts to flip out. But anyone who NEEDS stock android these days is a child who doesn't know enough about android to work around a shitty ROM. Touchwizz is honestly better than stock android and it's kinda funny how many tech kids think just because it's stock means it's better.
>>52129342
Technically the 950xl is, but I have concerns about the Snapdragon 810...
>>52140105
>touchwizz
>better
jej
>>52140465
and what was the last version of touchwizz YOU used daily for more than a few days?
5.1.1 Touchwizz is solid, 6.0 touchwizz is fucking fantastic. The multitasking issues that people were complaining about are gone, as well as standby time being improved significantly from ~15-20% battery dying overnight to only ~2-3% with 6.0 and doze mode.
Not to mention all the multi-window and spen features that stock android simply doesn't offer.
>>52140422
liquid cooling faget. anyways you might want to wait for the 1050, let us just hope the camera on it is as ahead of its time as the one on the 1020 was...
>52136820
Bought a Z3c for my sister, and it's breddy gud. Battery life is top-notch but the screen is tiny.
>>52140105
>still best smartphone of the year
Don't deny the existence of the Nexus 6P/iPhone 6S
So my crappy Windows phone died today. I'm looking to hop over to an Android.
What is a good model that is durable as hell? I'm not super picky about aesthetics because I can rice it anyway.
What about carriers? I've been with AT&T so far but they kind of suck dick. A friend recommended Verizon, are they decent?
>>52140937
moto x force, s6 active, s5 active
>>52136551
I need this too
>>52140806
nice misqoute there bud
>Still the best OVERALL phone of the year.
LG V10, Nexus 6P, iphone 6S, all are great phones.
Note5 just happens to be the best overall phone of the year, it has the best SoC, the most and fastest RAM, 2nd best internal storage, best display for a phone, the best or VERY close 2nd place on camera(depends who you ask).
The Note5 might not be the BEST at everything, but all around it is in the Top 2 in pretty much every category which is why it is the best OVERALL phone of 2015.
Your specific needs and wants will obviously change and if you personally need mSD storage for example you will probably prefer the V10 to the Note5. But lets not pretend just because you personally need mSD storage that the Note5 is garbage in comparison, you just happen to want mSD storage. Same for if you just happen to prefer iOS to android. The iphone 6S isn't a bad phone, but it's display quality, lack of stylus, etc make it inferior to the Note5 in hardware. But again, if you like iOS, it doesn't matter because you personally want iOS.
Shocking as it might be to some people on /g/, not everyone likes what you do or needs their phone to do what you do.
People with G4, what case are you using?
>>52129342
I don't know, I'll wait my 930 die on me till I get that one.
>>52136692
>ads on a camera app

I have a Wibdiws phone from BLU that is running WP 8.1 as my backup non android phone.. It wont get 10 until it is released officially. What is the status of the app store now? I really love the look and feel of WP but the lack of apps was disappointing.
If WP takes off n I'd probably buy like the monster Lumia model. 950 xl or whatever it is. Love phablets, currently using Lg stylo.
>>52131081
>Verizon only offers the 32 gb model
>>52141085
Thinking about buying the g4, how do you like it? Have a note 4 currently but want something smaller and not a galaxy.
>>52141548
G4 is amazing, easily better than the note 4.
>>52141343
On my 930 the OS is great except for the camera. The people at /r/windowsphone have some good discussions
>>52141724
Awesome, I'll look into it. From looking at the specs it looks like it would perform about the same as the note 4, but I'm sick of Samsung after all these years.
