Bought a Zenfone 2. Did I do good?
That green+red combo in OPs pic makes me wanna vomit.
My Moto G 1st gen just died.
Any recommendations for phones within a similar budget?
>>52310591
Another moto g?
Can anyone comment on OPX battery life? What's the SoT?
>>52310380
Moto X Play or Nexus 5X?
>>52311432
Just want to tell you that X Play has no Gyro, i don't know the 5X's specs
>>52311448
>no Gyro
I don't really have a use for it. The Moto X Play right now is 320EUR while Nexus 5X was 400EUR.
If anyone here had them both, which one would you recommend? My budget initially was 300...
>>52311483
5X or alternatively get the Pure
Ny s3 is dying...
I am looking for a new phone and found the 1+1
Should I do it?
Or get the 1+x some one told me I should get tgat instead
>>52311508
They're expensive here in Europe... Pure is 510EUR which is insane to think about. Even nexus 5x is expensive at 400EUR to be honest..
>>52311540
>Pure is 510EUR
Also 5.7" wtf.
>>52311517
What is tgat?
>>52311580
That*
Sorry about that anon
Thoughts on blackberry priv?
>>52310591
Moto G 3rd gen is good for under $200 if you're on a budget
S4 is suffering with screen death with the screen occasionally working, any tips?
>>52311605
Ah, sorry. I'm not a native english speaker and i didn't even think about "that"
I think OnePlus One is better than the X in some things as Battery (3100mah vs 2525mah), internal storage (although no micro sd) a/b/g/n/ac WiFi (even 5ghz i think), lots of custom roms and 5,5" screen which isn't really a "pro" to me.
On the other side the OnePlus X has an Amoled 5", has 16gb + micro sd, b/g/n wifi (2,4ghz only), slightly cheaper and looks cooler but has no backlight for the android keys (although you can use on screen buttons)
I'd get the OPO probably if it was for me, but it's out of stock on their website. I'm actually considering buying the X or waiting some more months to see if something else comes out
Will a 3.5MM headphone jack really be necessary for future smartphones?
>>52311751
Thanks anon
And damm I have 32gb sd card that I wanted to add to the phone but no big deal.
Thanks to you I am getting the 1+1
>>52311766
We can just use 2.5 which already exists and is just as good. We don't even have to change gear, there are adapters.
The only thing I use my phone for is music, but I've just bought a DAP. Should I ditch my phone?
Putting this out there.
My V10 fingerprint sensor would not work in a case. You had to be touching the metal on the sides. Lg said it was a software issue
Verizon finally released an update and it actually fixed the problem. Supposedly Att also released an update for the same fixes.
>>52311766
Only in the sense that removable storage is. It's user specific.
I don't like using Bluetooth for music when driving, since I have a high quality noise canceling headset. Because of this I would not buy a phone without a headphone jack. I could deal with it not being standard.

What's a good android phone that isn't a giant phablet? I'm looking for something comparable in size to iphone 4s or iphone 5s. Something that will easily fit in a pocket even after adding a protective case to it. Something easily used one-handed.
So, between an Asus Zenfone 2, a Honor 7 and a LG G3, which would you pick ?
I'm more leaning toward the Honor 7 currently.
Any particular model to go for when purchasing a micro sd card for samsung galaxy s4?
5" or less
micro sd
1080p, 720p if >5"
curved back, or at least slightly curved sides
are there any when disregarding the s5? I don't want to get it because amoled is pretty fucking horrible. don't want a device without a curved back because I find them uncountable to hold
>>52313689
get kingston, they're probably the least shit and also often the cheapest. sandisk is acceptable. other than that it doesn't really matter
>>52313800
As I suspected, but thanks nonetheless
>>52310380
Best camera on Lumia phones? I was looking at the 1020 but is there a better option?
>>52313064
Not many nowadays. The best are the Z5 compact and the Oneplus X.
>>52313064
Z5 compact
>>52313871
1020 is best but the 950 and other Lumia are still very very good and the 1020 is showing its age nowadays with the 720p screen.
>>52311316
4-5 hours
Not stellar, but workable.
Why phone fell in toilet. The digitizer is fucked (ghost touch/erratic touchscreen). I was thinking about replacing the digitizer, but since the phone is old already, I'd rather get a new cheat chinese phone or a tablet. My budget is around $50+-20. I don't use the phone to make calls, just watch anime/read manga/read news/browse 4ch. Any good recommendations? Preferably one with a large expansion slot to keep all my downloads/porn. Tablet or Phone, whichever.
>>52311625
it's fine, if you're over 40 and don't care about getting laid
>>52311719
replace it
>>52312274
the best Android browser
I find it slightly ironic that it has so few downloads, because people care more about looks than functionality
Do these extended batteries work or is it a scam?
>>52313765
Moto G 2014 or 2015
>>52313064
Nexus 5X/Nexus 5
>>52314220
Even if they work, they will eventually explode. Get a powerbank from a known brand, instead.
>>52314147
$70 is pretty limiting but there are a few options in your range.
hope you like Windows Mobile.

What's the best phone to root i can get under €350? I was thinking OnePlus but idk chinkshit and the OPX has 2525mah
>>52316662
ah, you want a tablet. I was looking at phones.
You can get an Asus Zenpad 7.0 for $100.Maybe cheaper if you can find it used.

During this year I want to buy a new phone, preferably a former flagship in the price range of 350 bucks.
It should have water resistance and a screen from 5" upwards.
Should I just wait until the Z3 has dropped down to that price or are what are other good alternatives?
I don't really like the design of the S5, especially the cap that covers the USB port bothers me a lot.
Also I have no problem with secondhand.
>>52316979
The 1+1 is a really great phone. Ireally liked the screen-turned-off gestures, the long lasting battery and great camera. Only the built-in loudspeaker was pretty average, but that's usal in most phones anyway unless it's an HTC or Sony. Had it for a year and then some sandnigger stole it, one of the saddest days of my life.
>>52313064
Z compact series, Galaxy S3 neo
>>52313064
iPhone 6/6S is a perfect screen size. 4.7 inches. Very easy to use one handed. It would be even more portable if the 7 retains the screen size but shrinks the bezels a bit.
>>52313638
Take the Honor 7. Great battery and fingerprint sensor
Contract runs out at the end of februari. Can get a device upgrade now.
There's some pretty good phones out there right now, but on the other hand, the snapdragon 820 phones will be out (or at least announced) RIGHT as my contract runs out.
I feel like i'd be fine with a 6P, or a note 5 or something, but will I be kicking myself when these phones come out with much better performance, battery life and temps? what's the smart decision here..

shit. formatting error on sheet. Adreno "329" is clearly supposed to be 330.
>>52310580
Immensely better
Any opinions on the Huawei Honor X5?
>>52317215
He's asked for an Android phone. Are you low key illiterate?
>>52311448
Currently have a Moto X Play, gotta love that battery life. I don't consider myself a power user, but this phone can easily last up to two days.
So I want a new phone because my Nexus 4 is starting to fail.

How do I accomplish this, anons ?

I'm about to fall into the nexus 6p meme
Is the nexus 6p actually good in terms of battery and sot?

what are the best apps for ricing

It is. They seem interesting to me. Especially Huawei's.
Guys I'm really close to buying myself a 6P but I keep thinking, are we literally weeks away from a load of new phones appearing?
I'm sure the galaxy S7 is gonna be out soon, not sure about new LG phones but either of those would be pretty interesting.
Don't really wanna end up with gimped hardware when the next gen stuff is so close.
Can't fucking wait for LG G5
>>52318277
I am looking for my first one too. Either the P9000 or the Honor 5X. I'm afraid of them pre-sellling out before more information comes out on other devices.
Is the HTC One m8 good?
I've heard it overheats a lot but i'm looking for a refurb <$180 phone and with mSD slot.
>>52318330
Will it essentially be a smaller V10?
I really wanted one of them but they aren't available in the UK for some retarded reason.

Would have done better with a OnePlus Two, but you did good.
best phone for €100-150?
is pic related a good option?

>Iris scanner
Why would you need this when you have a fingerprint scanner.
>>52318692
because obviously an iris scanner is more secure
>>52318700
If you've set up the fingerprint scanner and it can unlock everything the iris scanner can then it's extra security is a bit redundant.
I guess they'll keep the things they can unlock separate, maybe the iris scanner will be used for mobile payments or something.
Iris scanners have been rumoured several times over the years though.
Is it possible to create and update websites through Wordpress on mobile (most likely Cyanogenmod)?
Any point in buying a Moto G now? It's too underpowered for $200 and Motorola is basically dead, so no more updates. But I can't find any 5" phones with band 12 and microSD.
>>52319590
The latest Moto G is fine. Zenphone 2 and Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 are better, but marginally.
I'm not sure how likely it is that Lenovo will leave the existing Moto phones in the dust.
Used to have an old phone that got fucked up.I'm on verizon and have to stay with them for another year but I don't have a phone. The insurance would be about 150 for the old phone. I'm looking for an upgrade. A friend had an extra at t phone (lgg3) which would be perfect if it was not at t. What's the best way about getting a phone like the lgg3 or better onto verizon without having to spend much more than 150 or just selling the lgg3.
Moto x pure or no?
>>52319590
>>52319921
I just read the rest of your post. The Idol 3 seems to be the only decent phone in that price range that operates on Band 12, but it's 5.5". They have a 4.7" version but it doesn't use the same bands.
>>52319937
Sure why not.
