I want to upgrade from my G3 and can't decide between Nexus 6P and S7. 6P is 600€ and S7 is 720€. I can get 110€ off by giving the company my old phone though
>>53850326
or a used S6 edge for 400€
>>53850292
Cancer. Also Nexus 6P Cop for £500?
4rd for boost mobile giving people unlimited 4g for $60
>>53850326
S7 or an unlocked iPhone. To be honest, the iPhone will probably outlast the S7 in terms of software updates.

Okay guys, I need a new smartphone in the next week. I'm on T-Mobile, and I have a budget of $400, $500 hard. I'm looking at getting an HTC One M9 or a Samsung Galaxy S5/S6. Is Samsung's touchwiz really as bad as everyone says it is? I'd get an HTC One m8, but a refurbished one takes ten days to ship and I don't know if I should trust any sellers on Amazon.

why is there no such thing as a reasonably spec'd, cheap Android device? you're stuck with either shit or shelling out several hundred dollars.
>>53853099
There are always good options unless you're looking at under $100
Is the removable battery and sd card on the Galaxy S4 worth getting it over whatever improvements the S5 and S6 might have?

Right not looking at the Nexus 5x and the Moto X Pure. Nexus doesn't have SD support, so i'm not sure on this one
has the s6 active been rooted yet?
I am in australia and want a honor 5x but they aren't anywhere to be found here. is it possible to order an unlocked phone from america and have it work with our networks? I have no clue when it come to phone so any help would be appreciated

I don't really use my laptop at all since I got my smartphone.

The Huawei Honor 5X (TD-LTE KIW-L22) should do the work.
Should I get a OnePlusOne? I can get one for 154$, with 64gb.
Rooted my N5. A few weeks in, it started boot looping so I had to resort to stock options. Decide to root it again. All of a sudden the battery life is way better? I can't explain it. I was used to 3 - 4 hour SOT but now I'm pushing at least 6 hours per day? I haven't installed anything besides Root Checker after rooting. Stock ROM and kernel. Can anyone explain?
>>53855924
Note that the KIW-L22 is the indian variant.
The KIW-L24 is the American one, you are most likely to found on Amazon and eBay. There's a dual sim version and a single one, just runned the test on that version and the only thing you will not get Is UMTS B8 (9000GSM) and some LTE bands, since I don't know which one you use I can't tell you if you will have issues.
>>53855987
New or used?
>>53856022
Try recalibrating the battery.
Did you made a factory reset recently?
>>53856066
Used, gently
>>53856085
Make sure they didn't fucked something, ask him what rom is running and be sure that the phone is not broken in some kind of way.
>>53855320
Nexus will have better support, as well as a slightly better camera. Battery life is slightly better than the X Pure as well. However as you said it does not have SD support. Though it is worth noting that you can get it sub $300 via Amazon Prime sometimes, so it's a steal.
Moto X Pure is largely stock android, and Moto Maker lets you customize your phone when purchasing one off Motorola's website. It'll be more expensive than the Nexus, but does have better build quality and one of the fastest charge times out there.

What are some good ways to keep my battery keep going if I use Clover, social media ie snap fb, YouTube, Spotify, etc basic bitch shit.
To help I've moved from FB App to Chrome FB.
Turned off Snap location and sms permission settings.
Use Disa to collectively use whatsapp, fb messenger, and text- although it's been a bit glitchy every couple hours or so.
Not rooted, but use Greenify as soon as I'm done using an app. However, I don't Greenify Disa or my email using cloud magic bc I need those notifications.

You only will be missing B7(2600) & B28(700 APT) , both are LTE Bands and the LTE-A protocol.
>>53856577
You should be more worried about the serial number on it and the motherboard fiasco than the bootloader unlock.
Sell it if your SN is affected, is a good phone if you manage to get a version without faulty motherboard reports.
>>53857006
The resale value is down because of project fii and the 5x offer, as far as I know amazon has a deal for $300 on it too. So you might want to wait unless fii promotion runs out this week.
If you are not in America and the unit doesn't have the standard marks of a refurbished unit you might have a sell range from $130 to $170, just don't tell them that is refurbished because they will lower the price to $90-$150.
>>53856986
Recalibrate, factory format, etc.
Did you flashed or updated recently? Some batteries then to bug and consume more after a software update.
>>53858244
Import, or in case that you don't care about the phone app wait and get a demo unit, maybe if you are lucky enough you will be able to turn it into an "almost" retail unit.

just picked up a LG G5 yesterday, fuckin loving it.
having a fisheye is awesome, i'm probably going to carry around my "real camera" less, since this has IR AF, and OIS, just like my real camera.

The Galaxy S6 has underperformed since launch, but the new Marshmallow update has turned it into a completely different phone.
Dont buy an HTC, and look at the LG phones if you want a big one.
This is the first time ive been happy with the S6 since I bought it on launch day
Haven't been following mobile tech lately, so I'm just popping in for a bit of buyer's advice:
I lost my mobile a week ago in a taxi, and need an affordable, and durable, smartphone.
I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive (~£250) phone, with dual sims, a good screen for reading text, and good web performance (4G is mandatory, I'll probably have one internet sim, and one PAYG sim).
It's also quite important to me that the phone is fully unlockable, and allows you to tinker with it as much as you'd like. I tend to use my phone as a mobile terminal in times of need, so it needs full functionality.
I was originally thinking oneplus 2, but there seem to be all sorts of criticisms stating that it's laggy and has a mediocre build. Now I'm leaning more towards the zenphone 2, which, at least, has an SD card slot.
Any suggestions? I can increase the budget if needed, I just don't see a reason to pay out of the nose for a phone.
I've lost interest in mobile phones in 2008
I have Lumia 920 and I need new phone
What's important for me:
battery life
internet
gps
emulators
camera
wat do?
>>53862917
>battery
S7 edge or S6 active if you want high end processing along with it
>internet

Moto G3.
Anyone here got an oukitel k10000 chinkphone? I mainly want it for its insane built-in 10000mah battery and its longevity.
The only concern seems to be the MTK processor and 2GB RAM, coming from a Moto G2 I'm very scared of getting a phone that can't handle apps like Snapchat or FB Messenger without lagging insufferably.
Also I hope to install nova launcher to get rid of the stock launchers hideous icon set.
So can anyone shed some light on the performance of the oukitel k10k?
>>53862989
I forgot I'm broke as fuck.
I'll probably end with something like Xiaomi Redmi Note 2
>>53863023
>Moto G3
PPI seems a bit low, and I'm not keen on the lack of RAM, and lower end CPU. Whilst it seems like a good budget phone it's not quite as capable as I'd like.
>>53850352
Sure thing if you want shitty ugly software and nonexistent battery life
>>53863051
PPI dosnt matter to me, in fact 720p seems fine since it will increase the battery life and yes the 2G of ram is a bit concerning as well as the mediocre MTK processor (it still outperforms the crappy CPU in the Moto G2 though)
I'm just in it for that 1 week heavy use battery life desu.

I've wanted a flagship with a decent camera for a while now (I even considered an iPhone) but didn't want to spend 700 in a single purchase, so I resorted to my carrier contract.
I don't know where in eu you are but a couple of Italian carriers are not bad in terms of flagship contracts. I'm still gonna pay full retail price but over 30 months. And I've got a little 5€/month insurance for screen damages.
>>53863271
Oh and after 12 months I can end the contract with no extra expenses, keep paying the monthly fee or start again with a newer flagship.
I guess this stuff is already popular in the USA but over here the major carriers started offering just last year.

Is the $300 Zenfone 2 (4GB RAM/64GB internal +microsd slot) the best bang for the buck android phone out there or is there something better for $300 or less? Preferably with 64GB of internal storage as well.

Mi4c or Redmi 3/Note 3 /spg/?
Upgrading from a Nexus 5, I want something with a bigger screen, and better battery life. Been looking at the 6P and it seems pretty good, What are the ones that are comparable to/better than the 6P?
>>53866816
I would consider the zenfone 2 as an option as well.
>>53866816
Pick a snapdragon variant if possible, Note 3 pro for 5.5 display and 4050mah battery
>>53866823
5X has a slightly bigger screen but isn't a phablet and has better battery life and camera than the 5. 6P is pretty large, but if you're into it you'll be hard pressed to find a better phone. I say go for it.
>>53866856
Zenfone 2 considered harmful. Had one and the bloat drove me nuts, spent too much time disabling and reenabling all the bloatware whenever an update came out, and it was still stuck on 5.0 with the memory leak. So happy I sold it, although I talked to the guy I sold it to and he's very happy with it. Different strokes I guess.
>>53866823

What's a good LG phone to buy? I'll use it mainly for playing some games, listening music, and browsing the internet.

So, the corner of my motorola nexus 6 popped out of the case as I stupidly dropped it yesterday, and, of course, that particular corner was the one that landed on the floor first. So the display and touchscreen don't work, but it's still making noises and vibrating when the power and volume buttons are pressed. I actually really liked the motorola nexus 6, not too keen on the fact that they made the nexus 6p smaller, along with removing wireless charging. I also think huawei is a pretty shady company as it is. I'm either in the market for a new phone, or trying to find out if I can somehow repair my old phone myself, since I'm pretty sure phone insurance would just throw a refurb at me. What would YOU do?

The display is probably more than half the price of a new phone unless you go for chink parts. Try to back it up somehow, wipe it and sell for spares
>>53869572
Are you allowed to repeal?
I got banned for 2 weeks on my mobile data for breaking some global rule on /x/ (don't even use that board). I was able to appeal it and just said that it's my mobile data so it's a public IP and the ban was lifter after like an hour.
Can someone explain me what "rooting" or whatever is in layman's terms?

ZTE Warp Elite,
$100
Typical decent Mid-range hardware
Pretty nice screen
Pretty nice camera
Top and bottom "boarder" is too tall
5.5" screens bit big for most
No real Mod scene
No real timeframe for 6.0
Nexus 5x of HTC One m8?
Nexus 6P got updated today. Just flashed it, so far so good.
So is the Priv a good phone? Who here owns one?
>>53869576
probably not, still all that animosity between korea and japan you know
>>53862622
why not htc?
>>53870183
No one
>>53853702
Lg g2 is perfect. Good screen size and is 1080p with decent battery. Go for it.
>>53857822
It's an Acer style touchpad
>>53853702
>lg g2
If your planning on a new one check out the chinese ones on ebay for around $170, the Redmi 2 is fantastic for $120, 4.7" 720p screen with 2gb ram and expandable storage.
There are also phones from Cubot and Ulefone in the sub $200 range rocking 1080p screens and octacore chips

I'm considering buying a really cheap display, connecting it, and powering it on while it's disassembled just to pull everything off the phone, or just to enable USB debugging so I can work with the saved info on my computer. Any idea where I can get the cheap chink display?
>>53869110
yeah, dropped it a while back and now theres a chip bottom left.Visible (idk what else to call them) watermarks underneath the glass in the corner, which somehow spread up the side over the weekend. Now my phone lags every so often.
Apart from that, still working fine.
is it possible to still get updates on rooted moto?
>>53870089
Thanks.
Anybody know if you can use s6 roms and themes and modifications and shit from XDA on an s7?
How does /g/ feel about buying a used phone off Amazon?
>>53870962
Pretty stupid. Used phones in general are pretty stupid because the battery and NAND storage has already been worn out and the phone that you get could die in as little as weeks.
What's your budget, I can recommend you get a brand new phone instead.
>>53870098
>ZTE Warp Elite,
>$100
Best buy has it for $89 online. I'm getting one right now.
how do I root my 6p without having to re configure everything? (redownload 100+ apps, copy over music/photos/etc, etc).
>>53871023
yea I went in and missed it the last time it was on sale about a month ago so had to order off ebay as they were legit asking $180 in store after just having sold it for almost $50 less recently.
Also you probably are paying sales tax, so you'll end up paying very close to $100 anyway but its good info for those looking for a cheap prepaid, moto g is ded
>>53871077
backup everything to your google acct, when you wipe itll ask you if you want to restore your phone from a previous date
>>53870994
I can get a used one for around $200, but for a new phone i have a budget of $450 with a hard limit of $550
>>53871178
Your hard limit for a phone should be ~$300 senpai. It's a phone not a fucking laptop.
Anyway I recommend you take a look at the zenfone 2. The 4GB RAM/64GB internal + microsd slot is just $300. In addition you can get a 128GB UHS-I microsd card for $30-40 too.
>>53850292

Self propelled gun?
fucking sky cancer get the fuck out
How serious is the overheating problem on the Z3+? Warm to the touch or too hold to hot?
Is there anything comparable in the $300 price range that's both water resistant with a radio tuner?
>>53870635
I don't know, my brother always gets iphones and even he admits that updates after newer phones are released tend to fuck with his phone

I can't believe I took you seriously
I'm looking for a better alternative to the galaxy s5/s6
>>53871311
I love you. I truely do.
>>53871420
well ok man, but I would worry about having a 3-6 month financial reserve before blowing $550 on a fucking phone. If you've already done that then good job.
>>53871410
So your brother's a fag? Do his parents know yet?

What if I can get a <1 year old used phone still with warranty?
My mate had a bunch of weird issues with the OnePlus One and is looking for a replacement, I reccomended an LG G4 as I've been quite pleased with my G3. What do you guys think? His budget is about $300-$400
>>53871487
Nope, just single 24 year old construction worker that got his right arm broken outside of work and was unable to work for 3 months. Luckily I had 4 months of financial reserves so things went smoothly. Maybe you still live with mom&dad so having financial reserves might not be as crucial for you but it's always good to be prepared.
>>53871532
I still wouldn't recommend it. You don't know how heavily the phone was used. Maybe it went through 300+ recharge cycles and 100GB+ of writes.
Maybe I'm just too paranoid but I've had nothing but bad luck with used phones. Got a used Note 2 for $150 that died a month later, wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Then bought a used S4 that suddenly froze a few months later and was froze to the boot animation no matter what I tried.
Would this be able to use any carrier?

In addition to this response, even with a warranty, manufacturers try very very hard to renege on warranties. There's no guarantee they'd be willing to help you.
>>53871888
I keep hearing it only works with Boost in the US, so i don't know
>>53871528
None of them
>>53871888
If it's anything like virgin, their phones only work on that one service
>>53871888
Nope, only boost mobile which uses sprint networks. This could be a good or bad thing depending on sprint network coverage in your area so check that first. They do have the cheapest non-family unlimited high speed lte plan available ($55/month) though, which is why I have them.
>>53871888
lelno, it's locked to boost mobile. Not really a bad thing, they have pretty budget friendly plans and a unlimited high speed data plan too.

Is there anything that this phone is too under-powered to effectively do? I'm buying my first smartphone, and the allure of a ruggedized phone with 3GB of RAM, good battery life, and a thermal imager is just too great. I'm also considering the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, Motorola Droid Maxx2/Moto X Play, and Sony Xperia Z5/Z3/Z2, based on 2GB+ RAM, 4.5"-5.5" screen, GPS, NFC, SD slot, and 3000mAh+ battery. What about those ones? Is there anything that they're just flat out not powerful enough to do? Do some have known design/manufacturing flaws?
Got a 6p since launch, great phone but I'm getting bored, is rooting it worth it?
>>53872815
There's not really much most modern phones can't do save maybe GameCube emulation
are there any phones similar to the 5x(screen size, spec, price point) but with a microsd card slot?
>>53874272

none whatsoever
Anyone in europe know where i can get a cheap Nexus 6P?
>>53850292
Lumia 635 here. What should I upgrade too? Does Android still limit apps to internal storage?
>>53874591
>none whatsoever
sure m8
>>53850326
Don't even see the reason to upgrade past my G3.
>>53877324
it's a solid phone, but i want updates, fingerprint sensor, good speakers and better battery life. probably getting a 6p very soon
How does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro compare to the Nexus 6P?
Is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 the best value phone for its specifications?

Snapdragon 650 version is miles better t b h
I really want a 5" or less smartphone that has a decent camera, MicroSD and OK graphic performance... But my budget is ~$150, $170 at the max.
What handsets should I look at getting?
Why do people choose the 6P over S7/S7 Edge? Is it only because of >touchjizz?
What is the best keyboard now that SwiftKey is dead?
>>53880123
Because some likes to get stock android without samsung's ugly skin and bloatware.
>>53880223
But is that all? No performance reasons etc?
>>53880350
That is a performance reason. Bloatware is a pain.
>>53880350
>But is that all?
Dont get confused, its a pretty fucking big deal.
The Galaxy S6 was released in April of 2015
It had serious software problems that werent remedied till literally a week ago, after the S7 was released.
Not to mention the locked down bootloader. And of course the hardware Efuse that makes rooting so much harder..
Being at the mercy of samsung and then your carrier is a huge fucking deal. Ask anyone who dealt with a slow laggy piece of garbage S6 for a whole year.
>>53850292
After one day of looking at the crisp quadHD display of an s6 or s7, you never want anything with lower res anymore
>>53851856
I have the one m9 , and honestly it's really good if u are coming from a crap phone . Sense is smooth and I have not lagged at all . Only downside is the camera , otherwise your good to go
By the way it looks fucking gorgeous
>>53880180
>SwiftKey is dead
huh?
