>>53737447
thinking of getting the g4 from swappa for about 230$ good idea?
g3 is also like 130
>>53737634
I find a case makes it too big, although the microfibre case from the Google store is pretty good. I got it for half off, which I think is a fair price (it is somewhat overpriced at regular price)
Instead I just use a dbrand skin and tempered glass screen protector. Apparently my skin colour/pattern choice is "gay" according to /g/.

Guys can you know the original operator of a phone with the imei?

Hey guys, I'm looking to upfront buying an LG G5. But I'm on my mom's sprint plan currently with a Kyocera Rise.
My mother has bad credit, and I can't upgrade through her with my own money. So I figured I'd do this.
Sprint has crap reception out in the boonies over here, but verizon has a coverage map that looks a bit better.
Can I buy this unactivated phone, have it as a brick for the moment. Then activate it with one of the carriers when it gets here?
How would that work?
I'm in Kentucky, and pretty ignorant to all this. But I fell in love with the LG G5's modular uses.
Opinions on Droid Turbo 2? I read it has great battery life and is durable.
>>53737862
Droids have locked bootloaders. Good luck modding it.
>>53737854
You would have to get a version of the G5 that has a CDMA radio, and even then it is a crapshoot whether Sprint will activate it on their network. Verizon is the same deal, both use CDMA. Usually you can get them to activate it, but again it needs to have a CDMA radio.
If you're on AT&T or T-Mobile the process is a lot easier, basically almost every unlocked phone is compatible and you just slap your SIM card in and you're good to go.
According to gsmarena, B&H photo is selling an unlocked version of the G5 which they claim is compatible with CDMA networks, so you might be in luck. Personally, I'd switch to a GSM carrier just because I hate CDMA and it gives you a lot more choice in your devices, but I hear the coverage in many parts of the US is worse than Verizon.
Here's the link about the B&H Photo LG G5:

I'm finally quitting Windows Phone, is the Moto G still the best phone in its price class, excluding chinaphones?
>>53738060
Don't get the Zenfone 2, Asus loves bloatware.
In that price range I would recommend the Moto G 3rd Gen, especially if you can get the version with 2GB of RAM.
Is jailbreaking still a thing on iphones, and had it changed much since the iphone 3g? Does it offer the same level of control that something like Cyanogenmod on Android offers, compared to stock?
>>53738101
couldnt i just remove it, wat about muh features
>>53738060
Redmi note 3.
$187 and it's better than both of them.

>>53738101
>>53738159
I am also considering a refurbished nexus 5, anything i should know about that phone?
>>53738152
You can disable stuff, I disabled like 70 bloatware apps when I had the Zenfone 2. But some stuff like "CleanMaster RAM cleaner" is built into the actual ROM and will always be one of the four shortcuts you see when you pull down the notification shade. Also you have to enable and disable the bloatware apps every time there's an update, which is usually every couple weeks although they're still(?) on 5.0 like when they launched it.
Your only recourse is to flash CM, but I hear it's buggy and the notification LED doesn't work at all (it works shittily with the stock ROM).
I sold mine and I am very happy about it, as a final "fuck you" the phone took 26 hours to do a factory reset. The guy I sold it to loves it though.
>>53738159
>>53738173
Xiaomi phones don't work with North American LTE bands like MetroPCS, this is a dealbreaker imho.
>>53738219
Camera and battery life are rather disappointing, but it's still a great phone besides that. I hear the battery life has improved with Marshmallow but I sold mine a while back. It is two and a half years old at this point, so it probably won't see an update to Android N, at least officially.
>>53737854
Disregard everything I said, using nightly I couldn't get the checkout to go through on the trash sprint website.
Tried it with microsoft edge and it worked, upgrade request has been sent through.
New LG G5 soon senpaitachi.
>>53738252
what is best choice then?,
>>53738060
Use kimovil to compare them.

What's an alternative to LG V10 if you live in Canukistan
Where to buy Nokia N9 cheap?
Or maybe an alternative with the same OS.....
Or how to install the OS on an android phone....
>>53738399
Sorry anon, I don't play games on my mobile. the Sony has a poor processor so I'd consider the Zenfone or the Redmi. not sure if N5 would handle it.
>>53737634
Got my 5X last week, got the Fiber case. Feels pretty good.

>samshit
I'm sorry
>>53737673
This feel, we share. I'm going for a holiday in June however I want a better camera but don't really know what to go with.
My Xperia Z3c just came in. Should I just throw on cyanogenmod, or are there better ROMs out there for it?
>>53737634
Dbrand skin and a tempered glass screen protector.
What's the best android phone without any regard to price?
I swear /g/ is the most poorfag board on 4chan when discussing litterally anything but graphics cards.
>>53738880
Currently the S7.
Alright /g/
Amerifat here, carrier doesn't matter-
Nexus 5x or z5 compact?
Which one has better battery life? Ive heard mixed experiences with both phones, and neither has a swappable battery so I don't want to get shat on in the long run
>>53738880
Overall spec wise? S7
Want a functioning phone without samshit, bloatjizz, knox, and doesn't require 5000 mah battery to get average battery life? Nexus 6P
hey guys okay so i recently got a s6, love the phone so far and to be honest touchwiz isnt that bad from what i've seen (coming from a oneplus one with stock android) the only thing i really dont like are the samsung emojis, they suck and i want the stock android emojis. is there anyway to replace the samsung emojis for stock android emojis?
>>53738911
Thanks that's kinda what I figured. Do you think touchwiz really fucks the phone like most here claim or is that just a meme?
>>53738997
Disclaimer, I hate Touchwizz. I do. With that said, the camera is stellar and the phone is as close as you can get (I believe) to the full package that Apple offers on the Android platform currently.
Nexus 5 owner here. The only reasons I would upgrade my phone right now are a better camera and better battery life. Is a upgrade worth it now or should I wait?
>>53738938
Will look into both. Thanks.
Looking for a android phone that is very durable and water proof that is <150.
>>53739037
i would say upgrade to nexus 6p and if money is a issue then go for the oneplus x
>>53738997
Its an extremely heavy """"OS""""
Newer versions aren't as bad but its still battery/ram hog
Slow down problems aren't quite so horrible but I know samshills still going on about how they "won't load down their phones" like its fucking 2011
>>53739031
Does running a different launcher improve things?
>>53739094
Yes it does. Unfortunately you still experience Touchwiz in the pulldown menu and end up using the Touchwiz suite of apps.
>>53738993
shameless bump
>>53737634
How do you like it? Torn between buying it for 200 or getting something else for a similar price
>>53739110
Is Nova the best?
>>53739085
I'm intrigued by the Nexus 6p but I think I'll regret it by the time the next Nexus drops somewhere in September/October.
>>53739199
That is my preference
>>53738993
Textra.
>>53739094
Touchwizz is more than a launcher and is basically the OS at this point.
You can't disable tons of apps
It eats ram so it kills apps constantly in the background (except for its own apps)
But yeah a launcher will stop the slow down on the launcher itself
>>53739227
Cool gonna look into it. Thanks anon.
>>53738880
s7 or if you're like me and had enough of touchjizz LG V10
Still using my Lumia 928 right now.
Just over here waiting for the based G5 to drop.
My two year contract with Wind Mobile is coming up in few months. Was considering to buy a new phone and wonder if I stick with Wind or maybe jump to Telus.
Country: Canada
Carrier: Stick (Wind Mobile) Jump Ship (Telus)
Phone choice: No contract...budget under $700 with tax. Just need a good phone with more bang for the money like ASUS ZENFONE2 and have a micro SD slot for more space and bigger battery.
Wondering anyone from Canada here what I should go next as I don't use too much on the call and text but more in data.
How is the 6p in the real world, /g/? Battery, etc?
>>53741230
I really like my Nexus 5X I purchased outright and use with Rogers for "free" spotify and NHL gamecentre.
HOWEVER, all three big carriers are greedy Jews and changed their plans so that you only save $240 ($10/month) over the course of a two year term if you bring your own phone. It used to be $480 ($20/month), which made buying the 5X and signing up for a SIM only plan make economic sense for me.
If I wasn't grandfathered in to a plan where I'm saving ~$25/month compared to a new contract plan, I'd consider getting a phone through the carrier like the HTC 10 when it comes out. Of course carrier phones have their own issues like being locked down and being stuck with the carrier for the length of the contract. It might not make as much $$$ sense anymore to bring your own phone, but at least you can choose the phone you want and you're not tied down to a specific carrier.
With Telus (or Bell or Rogers or one of their subsidiaries) you'll get LTE instead of being stuck on HSPA like you were with Wind. Which is nice.
Just upgraded to a G4 yesterday and battery life is awful after updating to Marshmallow.
Anyone else having issues with battery drain? I'm literally getting like 2 hours 15 minutes SOT as of right now. I don't know if I should wait it out to see if it fixes itself or factory reset.
>>53741876
ive been reading that a factory reset will fix that
What phone does your waifu have, /spg/?
>>53741465
I get about 2 days of regular use out of it. Charges really quick too (under an hour to go from 10 to 80% charge). Screen is nice too. Only 2 things I wish it had was OIS built in, but I can deal with it (plus laser auto-focus makes up for it a bit). Also it uses USB type C, but it's only USB 2.0 complaint which kinda sucks. Overall I'm happy with it as my daily driver.
Whats the cheapest GSM phone that won't begin to stutter and go to shit from three hours of daily browsing with no streaming or games. I usually only do 3 of my 5 GB a month.
Also pretty cool that they have a 55 dollar/10GB service plan now.
>>53741876
Reset after update.

I'm fucking pissed about the state of Smartphones atm because everyone's using either ishit or Android and theyre both horrible. BlackBerry OS 10 is by far the best mobile OS out there atm but blackberry can't into marketing because they're fucking retarded. Now companies such as whatsapp etc stop supporting whatsapp and I'll have to switch to one of the shit systems because I have no other choice. And since I'm not an apple fag and Windows is utter shit.. I'll have to switch to an android phone.. which are cancer too. This fucking hipster planet

>>53737673
I felt that way until I upgraded to a Note 5.
>>53737716
G3 is a better value for the money
when the fuck are those freetel phones coming out already
What does /g/ think? Worth it?
>>53744612

Why do the forum users with over four thousand posts insist on hijacking my computer instead of leaving a constructive post in the thread for other people with the same issue?
>>53744612
eww
>>53744687
Well, you managed to brick a phone, no wonder why he expects you to be a retard.
Was thinking of getting me a Redmi Note 3 Pro (I want snapdragon and the SD slot) is this a good idea? Will it work in the EU more specifically in Sweden with 4G and everything? Or should I get something else? I need it to be less then $250 with shipping and without any stupid custom fees and the like.
>>53744762
I take full responsibility for fucking up my phone beyond repair.
Still, it'd be better to make a post in a public thread that might be useful to others instead of just a PM.
>>53740827
lumia 920 checking in. I can't decide on an Android to buy. Camera and battery are important. Personally I think Android updates are a meme. the 5x would let me into Fi which would save $$ vs AT&T which I'm on now
6p/5x - no OIS on camera, otherwise god tier
s7 - expensive but probably worth it. touchwiz isn't a dealbreaker because hardware. upper tier
v10 - too big for me
galaxy note - probably too big
z3 - headphone jack issue? otherwise worth the low price today
z5 - US no fingerprint button WTF. camera supposedly bad somehow
s6 - dont like glass design
s6 active - like a lot, but isn't well supported for Android updates. upper tier
LG G_ - not interested
priv - camera is shit, otherwise god tier
>>53744871
Hi Frodo!
>>53744871
Im torn between 6p and s7. I abhor Touchwiz but throwing on a new launcher would at least make it bearable. The camera is tits. 6p has a pretty dope camera as well, and has so much rom support. So, I dunno.
>>53744871
Haven't had any issues with the lack of OIS on my 5X, but I'm not a photophile.

>>53745096
you can buy it for ebay at a fraction of the cost.
>>53745106
Those phones suck hot nigger cock, my budget is $200 and I was considering the Zenfone2, Nexus 5, and the LG G3, I really want a phone that has an FM transmitter
>>53745119
You can but you will need to add the imei by yourself, flash the retail software, add the modems and more shit.
Some people on XDA have tried, but even if they bypass everything the phone will turn off every couple of minutes.
>>53745124
So you don't need SD support and other shit, right?
>>53737693
This. Love my v10. Holding out hope for root soon. Fuck you Verizon.
>>53745167
Obviously its wanted but I want fm radio

Would make sense, considering that Nexus 4 didn't see M.
And then the Nexus 6 won't see O, etc.

>>53738920
>Nexus 5x
The March OTA made the N5's battery life waaaaaay better. I have no experience with the Z5 but to me the N5X's battery is more than adequate now.
>>53741876
After updating my v10 I'm seeing a definite improvement in battery life
>>53745191
LG G3: Stereo FM radio with RDS (D855 model only)
Nexus 5: Doesn't have a FM receiver in it.
Zenfone 2: Website says it does, but maybe your carrier deleted it or something.
Alright /g/ what the fuck,
I switched to a galaxy so because I had one laying around, and the first thing I did was stick a 8500mah battery in it before even putting my Sim in.
It started at 60% and now just 4 hours later, it's at 30% doing nothing but playing Pandora.
Why is a s5 such a piece of shit?
>>53745262
Same with my V10. Charged to full in the evening, left it unplugged overnight, and it lasted until the following evening with moderate usage. I couldn't do that on lollipop.
>>53745316
Yup same here. Waiting so long for updates isn't nearly as frustrating when I have proof positive like this that they're doing it right.
>>53745300
touchjizz and other bloat
>>53745346

>>53745300
The S5 is an awful phone. There is literally no improvement over the S4, with several steps back in things like energy management.
The S4 is where Samsung peaked. Their S4 Mini was even superior to the original S3, and they're still supporting it with new models three years after coming out.
Hey chaps
Where can I basically learn everything about how Android is structured and using the adb? Because I feel like a kid given a toy without an instruction manual, and all the other kids have had their toys for 7 years.
>>53745394
Yes I wanted a s4 mini plus, but I literally just had a s5 that needed a battery laying around.
Wait so if I buy a 5x I can get it for 199? Is that worthwhile? How long do I have to be enslaved to Fi for?
>>53745465
That camera looks like a nipple.
>>53745394
I've been using the S7 Edge as my daily driver and honestly it's a great phone.
>>53745300
Something must be wrong with that battery, because when I used an S5 (recently, even, a used one was my backup after my other one broke) the battery life was great on the stock battery.
>>53739083
The original Sony xperia z, look for a refurbished one, I found one not too long ago for £140
Currently, what are the best phones for /verizon/ ?
My old as shit LG G2 is barely alive and I'm eligible for an upgrade.
Considering just going to the G5, but I'm still bitter about the audio of the G2. The hardware they used on that was shit, out of the box, the audio was WAYYYY the fuck too low, and then it breaks almost immediately. I can't listen to shit with my headphones because if I barely move a cord that's plugged in, it thinks I unplugged the headphones and audio stops playing.
Also considering the M9 since it would be $100 cheaper than the G5 and I'm sure my pet peeve with the audio wouldn't be an issue....but then it's a step back to a year old phone.
Not quite sure what to do.
>>53745671
6S or S7 no question
>>53745671
buy your phone from swappa, trust me.
>>53745801
why?
>>53737447
So is there actually any worthy upgrade from my galaxy note 3?
I want microsd, removeable battery and stylus, and the speaker has to at least equally as good, and not on the back.
Hopefully somewhat better battery life, although I'm satisfied with 6-7 hours of onscreen time.
I'd get a note 4 but
>speaker on back
>heavier than note 3
>thicker than note 3
>taller than note 3
>shittier quality buttons than note 3
>home button doesn't stick out as much as note 3 and is thus harder to press
>stylus doesn't slide in with a satisfying motion, instead is completely smooth
>greenish tinge to either glass or the lcd panel itself?, ruining blacks compared to note 3
I've tried one, but it felt like it was barely an update and otherwise was shittier.
The Note 6 will cost too much initially and I'll likely get that as my next phone so long as it's not slippery 'muh premium feel aluminium unibody like the note 5', and doesn't remove the features I like about my 3.
>>53746002
There isn't yet. Only reason I have an S6 and not my Note 3 is because I dropped it and broke the screen. Hold onto your phone for a while, it's great and there aren't enough new features to warrant a switch.
>>53746022
I'm surprised by how well the note 3 performs, especially on android 6.0.
Sadly if I want 7 hours on-screen time I have to run a touchjizz rom, and even the note 5 ports are trash, so currently I'm using Resurrection Remix CM13 with idlekernel, however a new CM13 build has come out, apparently all non-touchwiz roms 5.0+ had some shitty power drain issue and I get about 4 hours on-screen time with heavy use.
I've used both amplify and greenify to make my standby battery life fantastic however, but this rom that I'm referring to being updated will become my daily driver, as xposed framework is wonderful and can replace my rom's features.
>>53746068
I forgot to mention that the dev of this CM13 rom I'm referring to actually fixed the power issues, which were not just in the kernel, but the rom itself.
>>53745653
Agreed s7 edge is awesome
>>53745394
>The S4 is where Samsung peaked.
As a poorfag, this pleases me.
I'm looking for a new phone. Coming from a Note 3 which I loved I want something as good if not better. needs to have expandable memory. Would like something with a nice camera and good audio as well. What should I get?
Is the SD 810 such a deal breaker?
I've really wanted a Sony phone and I was thinking of getting the z5.
I wanna get a S7 but I'm worried about the battery sucking ass 2 years down the line, I'm also slightly worried about the burn-in since I would likely be keeping this phone for 2 years+. I'm thinking about the G5 too but battery life on it seems to be meh, and It seems like the "magic slot" thing would suffer from wear and tear later down the road. What do?
Still waiting for my Priv to arrive, ordered last week on the 24th and its not here, damn easter weekend or maybe I should have checked my /priv/
Looking to buy V10 or maybe wait to see what the HTC 10 will be like.
I'm with Telstra in Australia. Is there an international version of the V10 that would work fine with Telstra?
Is the V10 as good as 'they' say?
>>53746521
Z5 uses a revised Snapdragon 810 without overheating.
>>53746878
>Is the V10 as good as 'they' say?
Yes
>>53746912
Ah. That's good to hear, but why are people recommending the z5 over the premium variant?
>>53746610
What's your carrier/country. If the phone insurance isn't shit (and you pay for it) then if the wear and tear is too much it should cover it. At least mine has been on Verizon here in Amerifat, my Lumia 928 has been swapped out twice because of defects.
>>53746945
Money I suppose, the Z5 Premium has better battery, pixel density and more.
The only downside for some people is the size and I assume that the 4k must eat that battery like a beast.
Dear /spg/, I've been offered a samsung galaxy note edge for $150AUD from a relative. I'm currently using a HTC one m7. Can I get rid of Touch Jizz somehow? I've looked at the custom ROMs and I can't find a stable stock ROM that is up to date.
really thinking about getting an honor 5x, anyone have any experience with it? I just want a nice sleek phone with a great camera and great storage. Im in the us and will use straight talk
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875606072
>>53747125
just keep touchjizz. you'll lose all the edge and pen features if you use a custom rom which seems a bit stupid to me.
Pls help me make up my mine on a new smart phone. I'm open to different phones as well, I really don't know much about phones.
>>53747329
What price range are you looking at exactly? Definitely wouldn't get one of those
>>53747463
why not?
>>53747619
because there are better phones out there, hence why i asked your ideal price range
>>53747633
$350 aud at max, and i have a thing for over sized batteries
>>53746610
I'm personally going with the G5 for similar reasons.
No screen burn-in, and they've got the free extra battery promo going on, which should help with longevity.
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g5/promo
>>53747646
Dude you can buy like 7 refurbished iPhones 4s from amazon ($50) and tape them together, you will have 10,010 mah!
Seriously tho, there are better options for that price, don't get something just because the battery.
I bought a Nexus 6P outright recently. It's great and all but I'm thinking of going back to iOS. I'm thinking of also downsizing to the SE and giving the 6P to my sister. Is this a good or bad idea?
>>53747798
Honestly it depends on what you want out of your phone experience, though most of /g/ will probably call it a bad idea since we tend to be so partial to Android over iOS.
>>53747893
I'm not going to lie. I've never been 100% satisfied with android. I don't even know why.
I also kind of want a smaller phone. As much as the display on the 6P is gorgeous, I'm very seldom taking advantage of it. I'm not obsessive and the displays on iPhones are usually immaculate.
>>53747927
Take it you're not much of a ricer, then?
Android has its weaknesses, but definitely makes up for the customization and variety of hardware to chose from.
Ever go to Best Buy and play with the Galaxy S7 that just came out? It's basically the closest Android gets to an iPhone's hardware design and aesthetic.
That line of phones are definitely smaller than the average flagship phone these days.
Phones like your 6P, or the LG G4 or iPhone 6+ are all massive, or borderline phablet sized.
God the lg voice mate is boring
Hi /spg/,
I just sold off my 5s for 220€, the SE will be delivered here in one week but the 64gb is 589€.
convince me not to buy the SE
>>53744835
you're the retard that asks about hardware on a software forum
>>53748048
>589€
Sup Hans.
370 bucks for an almost identical phone seems bit excessive but otherwise, good choice.
LG V10 vs Nexus 6P? Same price - 600€
>>53747749
>there are better options
like what?
>there are a lot of better options, chose something else
like. what.
Surprisingly few mentions of the Moto X Pure, what's the dealbreaker for all of you? I got it because it was $100 cheaper than a 6P and I'm loving it
did the priv flop?
Should i buy Nexus 6G or wait for Note 6?
>>53749294
6P*
>>53747646
The ASUS ZenFone 2 has a 3000mAh battery. I am very happy with mine.
They also have other models with removable batteries (Zenphone Laser is one, I think). You may have to shop around to get a decent price shipped to Aus.
Can the FBI easily crack android phones? Samsung for example?
>>53743429

If they're encrypted with a strong password, probably not because they just use standard dm-crypt tech. They also don't need to; you already uploaded everything to the cloud

bump. tired of my g3
Want to get Nexus 6P but poorfag, so I'm getting the 5X. Am I about to regret this decision?
>>53750126
Get the 6P if you can handle its size.
>>53750126
Yes you will, save up 300 more and get an s7
>>53750162
>save up 300 more and get an s7
kek
>>53750144
yeah that was a second concern. I have giant ape hands so not really an issue, but I don't know if I really want that size. The hardware is pretty sweet though.
>>53750162
no
>>53750177
what is funny about that? s7 is the perfect phone. samsung is the apple of android
>>53750200
>samsung is the apple of android
exactly
it's overpriced
>>53750200
even if you can look past the gigabytes of annoying bloatware, there is still the problem that you could get better hardware for the same money. Sure, they make high end phones, but the only reason people even accept these prices is because they compare it to apple, which is the king of overpriced hardware.
>>53750212
>>53750287
It's overpriced for a reason, the camera. And then probably the build quality/looks.
You won't find a cheaper phone with the same camera or build quality.
>>53750338
>the camera
hmm yeah this is actually a good argument for sX phones, it's comparable to iphones. My gf has an s6 and it takes nice pics for sure.
>>53748920
Priv sold bretty gud. Blackberry's thinking about releasing more qwerty android phones, priced for poorfags to push more units.
>>53750822
They should get their shit together and release more BB10OS phones
Is an used Sony Z1 C6903 for 101€ worth?
I had it 1 year before.
>>53744770
I try one more time. Could someone help me out please.
I'm due for an upgrade. I got a Note 4 18 months ago, lost it, and got a replacement Note 5 through my insurance. I hate touchwiz and Samsung in general after dealing with them for so long.
In three weeks I'm choosing between the priv or the v10. wat do
>>53751036
s7e
>>53751036
These are both mistakes senpai.
You should be looking at the nexus devices (5x or 6p) and the Moto X Pure and nothing else.
>>53751076
>the nexus devices (5x or 6p)
currently, this answers 90% of "which one should I get" questions. Only reason to not get one is you are gay and want to show that by getting an iphone, or you want a slightly better cam for twice the money.
>>53751076
>5x or 6p
>no sd slot
shit
>moto x pure
>motorola
>2016
>>53737553
Note 5 is a beast, just got mine upgraded to marshmallow and love it
>>53751124
>having more than 32GB of data on your phone
why, ever
>>53751124
yeah but motorola is actually pretty good now, as you demonstrated by not being able to list anything wrong with their product.
>>53751138
are they? I remember people used to hate on LG too, but then they made the nexus 4, 5, 5X and everybody shut up about them.
>>53751124
Yeah man, if I can't carry around 256gb of hi10p anime I just don't feel whole
>>53751136
Not him but I have a bunch of TV shows for backup entertainment, what exactly is the issue?
>>53751136
Do you like listening to music? The 32 gb limit will hurt you hard, you'll have to constantly worry about it not filling up. Meanwhile soon there will be 400 gb micro sd cards out and nexus phones won't be able to take advantage of it. Google's reasoning for not including an sd slot is retarded.
The Nexus 5x honestly seems like a great phone, it has like the perfect size and nice looks, but no sd slot is a huge downer.
>>53751201
idk, why can't you just stream them or download them on the go? Not an issue but in
>the current year
there isn't really any reason for much memory
>>53751207
i just stream spotify, it doesn't use much data.
But yeah if you want to have tons of offline video/audio it will hurt you.
>>53751136
>>53751191
If you don't care about media on a phone and only care about using facebook and making calls, you should buy an iphone se
>>53751036
>>53751124
>>53751207
LG G4 / G5?
More bloated than Nexus, but less so than Samsung.
Still has the SD slot you're so worried about.
v10 is basically a half-generation upgrade between the G4 and G5. G5 releases on Friday.
Just switched to straight talk from metro pcs did i fuck up?
Eurofag here, I want a Smartphone like Nexus 6P or Moto X Pure, but it's not available in the shops.
I wonder why.
>>53751250
I've been using Straight Talk since 2012.
Has always had shitty customer service the one or two times I've ever needed it, but other than that it's always worked just fine for me, and cheap as fuck.
Just never recommend it to anyone who's likely to lose or break their phone.
>>53751243
G5 is shit.
>>53751265
It is here in netherlands.
you must live in a poor eu country
>>53751214
1.5GB is more than enough for a month of data for me, I have to try to run out. If I stream the difference in cost of one month of service would be more than the cost of just popping a 64GB microSD card in my phone, that just seems ridiculously moronic.
>>53751243
The G5 looked attractive at first, but it's fucking LG. Go with the s7, you can never go wrong with samsung.
>>53751265
you can order Nexus online but not in all countries.
>>53751235
>He doesn't have unlimited data and stream all his media off his home server
How's 1998 working out for you?
>>53751250
Also, never buy a SIM card from Walmart - always get them from their website.
Walmat only sells a "SIM card kit" that comes with a couple months of service, for like $50-70, but if you're already paying for service, you can buy the SIM card alone for $0.99 from their website.
>>53751276
lol ok, how come, bud?
>>53751296
Yeah Samsung really knows what they're doing. They only produce top notch stuff
>>53751312
I just did order a sim card from the site with a service plan pf course but it was all from the site
>>53751287
Where I live isn't a poor country.
>>53751298
But it's so expensive...
Who has better coverage and speed these days?
Verizon, or AT&T?
>>53751333
how is it more expensive than in store?
also bad luck for you, they had €100 off until two days ago :^)
>>53751303
1) either expensive as fuck or not available for all carriers
2) have fun streaming in areas with bad network
>>53751367
I know but 599,00 € is still expensive with 64GB
desu, 300€ is enough
>>53751398
I got nexus 5X for €350, but only 16GB
>>53751407

>>53751431
Waar?
>>53751431
what you kidding me?
I'm not in NL though
>>53751407
16GB is too little for my music and picture collection. I would buy it if it had a sd slot
>>53751312
Smaller display, meme "modular" battery removal, and it's generally just ugly as fuck

Galaxy S5 here. How long till i have to upgrade? Can i use it for one more year?
>>53751610
yes, why not?
you can install custom ROM
>>53751610
You could squeeze 3 to 5 more years of use if you choose a nice custom rom replace the battery and treat it well with a case and screen protector then sell it used for 1/20th of the price of a upgraded phone after those years
Sup /spg/.
I'm looking to replace an L80 phone my brother gifted to me a year ago with a slightly better option because my screen is cracked.
As of now i'm scavenging for a $100-$200 budget phone with decent specs and preferably 60-90 FPS capable video recording at 720p or higher. The ZTE Warp Elite seems a nice buy at $99, but i'm wondering if there's better options, because i was also considering a Moto G. What's the best Bang For Your Buck phone?
>>53751666
>treat it well
>custom rom
>>53751431
fuck you. 330€ for 16GB and 400 for 32GB in Estonia
I want a 6P, but fucking 600€
>>53751744
When it comes to Samsung, then a custom rom means treating the phone well.
The Nexus 6p's sound quality (through headphones) is literally dog shit. Like how do you make such a big smartphone and not even bother putting a good dac chip in it?
>>53752086
Viper4Android does magic.
>>53752056
The s7 has the same price as the 6p in most countries in europe. go for that and not the 6p
Hey i bought an LG G2 yesterday
the phone works perfectly , i can mmake and receive calls
but there is AT&T logo and apps all over it , soes that mean it was locked to AT&T
and if i download the offficial androird lollipop directly from the phone , will the phone be locked again ?
please help !
>>53752117
S7 is 100€ more expensive. Not a big fan of samsung either. Thinking about the V10 though, which is also 600
>>53752056
>I want a 6P, but fucking 600€
this man
>>53752117
