Apple could have the best specs in the market at half the cost and I wouldn't buy that shit.
I could have a supercomputer in my pocket but if it runs iOS I won't be able to do shit with it.
Depends on budget.
The zte warp elite is currently the best ~100$ phone. Supports 128GB microsd cards, 13MP camera, 720p screen, and a quad-core A53 @ 1.2 GHz
The S4 is currently the best ~200$ phone. Supports 128 microsd cards, 13MP camera, 1080p screen, and a quad-core krait 300 @ 1.9 GHz
Not sure about the best ~$300 or ~$400 phone though.
Why is the 6P up there? It doesn't have a microsd slot.
>>53933781
Clean Marshmallow, good cost, nice specs
>>53933734
That's more about you than it is about iOS.
>>53933886
I could get iOS and jump through 100 hoops to do the thing that I want and then one of my apps doesn't get an update and breaks another app and everything falls apart because Apple is actively trying to fuck over jailbreakers at every turn
or I could just use android
Are HTCs any good? I want one in a year or so, and the metal finish gives me a boner.
>>53933525
a tie between s7 and iphone
not even memeing, iphone has pretty well built and ios beats android anytime
I want a removable battery, removable sd, and root capabilities
Should I get the G5 for all 3
the s7 and suck it up for the specs
or the 6p and suck it up for the updates
>>53934072
That's my exact dilemma. Honestly I'm not sure I want to switch to USB C yet. I'm coming from a GS4 and I'd have to get a shit ton of new cables.
>>53934276
Coming from gs5 that I upgraded from the gs4.
Got my gs5 from AT&T that locked the damn bootloader and I wanted my damn gs4 back. Removable battery is fucking sweet though I just pop in a new one whenever I run low on charge so giving that up for the specs of the s7 is a hard decision.
Also giving up a removable sd also fucking sucks because there goes a bunch of freedom there too. I already worked my ass off to get my removable memory to work on my gs5 because samsung and at&t fucked me over and didn't allow me to use it hardly and they're doing it AGAIN on the s7. What's the point of an sd card if you're going to fuck me over and not let me use it?
For these reasons I want to get off the samsung train becuase they're throwing everything that I liked about them out the window, but I've heard some bad things about the g5 like the sub par specs and design. Plus it isn't rooted yet so I'm cautious about the bootloader situation

The one that doesn't lag like shit, so any iPhone from 5s on. Since 1GB RAM is limiting even for normal use, the objectively best phones would be iPhone 6s/+/SE, depending on your requirements.

>>53934734
Yeah I guess, but this doesn't apply for most people. A lot of them are fine with what's left of 16GB and doubt that a normal user could even fill 32GB.
Besides, while the Apple storage costs most, it's also way, WAY faster.
>>53934696
>Implying you need an extensive feature set to rice with waifus
where's your application manager? Your widgets? Homescreen customization? Interface customization? Bootloader unlock? Cross-app communication? Open source software? Removable batteries or storage? NFC? Off-market apps?
There is no iOS equivalent for Tasker and there will never be because the designers of your phone are actively fighting against the community. The only reason you have jailbreak is because apple continuously leaves harder to find holes in their code to exploit. Apple actively steals jailbreaking ideas, claims them as their own design, and then specifically patches their iOS to prevent competition.
I'll never understand why you not only open your asshole to the jew-fucking but then have the gall to go on /g/ and shill for it.

You don't ask the most important question, WHO needs all of that shit?
I guess there can be made a point for replaceable batteries if you want to prolong the devices life but it's pretty easy to do yourself and there are tons of places who offer it for dirt cheap.
Why would the rest of it be relevant for a normal person? Does your mother care whether her shit is open sores or not?
>>53934871
>I guess there can be made a point for replaceable batteries
Not really because they're not hot swappable.
>>53934805
>Yeah I guess, but this doesn't apply for most people. A lot of them are fine with what's left of 16GB and doubt that a normal user could even fill 32GB.
Yes it does, most people have movies/tv shows and music they would like to watch on the go/on the bed. 16GB is fucking garbage for someone in 2016. 64GB minimum. Apple knows this which is why they sell the more popular 64GB iPhone SE for $500. Meanwhile any android phone can have its memory expanded by 64GB with like $15 (UHS-I too).
>Besides, while the Apple storage costs most, it's also way, WAY faster.
Doesn't make a lick of difference irl. $30 UHS-I (~24MB write/ 48MB read) 128GB microsd cards can already write 2GB files in 1 minute or less and transfer 2GB files in 30 seconds or less.
>>53934871
Because #1 you are on /g/ so obviously you care about that shit
#2 having all of that other shit available to nerds leads to greater innovations and advancements then can be made by walling everything off and only letting your staff who are incredibly strained to a single "vision" work on your software. Sure the constrained staff will make a more consistent and well designed product, but they will make far fewer advancements than if you would go open source and work alongside rather than against the community.

>Just because it's not enough for you or me, doesn't mean it's not enough for the average person using a smartphone.
The average person has wants to have media on his phone therefore needs at least 64GB of storage space to be happy. Apple does offer this you know.
>That's like saying SSD doesn't make difference to HDD (pretty much the speed difference compared to UHS I and NVMe NAND)
But we're comparing 2 NAND storage technologies you retard. Yeah the ishit SE might copy a movie in 20 seconds vs 1 minute but in the end isn't worth it at all. You're paying $500 and get limited to 64GB of storage (of which iOS takes up space in). Meanwhile 2GB RAM android phones that go for ~$100 can expand their memory to 128GB for 30 fucking dollars (UHS-I too).

Basically this. There isn't anything an iPhone does better than Android for social media garbage. The only reason I've heard from someone who isn't a mouth breather was that it syncs better with their macbook.
Even though he doesn't use it for music or anything, so I don't know what he's syncing. Maybe photos?
>>53935179

Obviously not, you're free to get a Lagdroid phone with as much storage as you like ... but you fail to understand that most people couldn't care less about that, hence the "downsides" of iOS, only affect a minority.

To what? They're not actually using the hardware to where performance becomes noticeably different from lesser models.

I'm thinking of buying the LG G5, but I just know ill regret it.
>>53934072
The g5 is a nightmare. I had it for about a day and I was constantly shitting myself the glass panel would crack. Even the lightest touch distorts the screen as though you are poking a plasma TV. The bottom bezel felt like it could snap off and that was the reason I called the mobile provider as I felt a little snap inside. It was horrible, lovely phone, nice camera but it's not something you would be able to use for a year. The g5 in that respect is an absolute mess. I went with the Nexus 6p because the reasons you provided. Exactly same price and same plan and it downloaded the android update as soon as I enrolled the device.
>>53935688
Just checked, right now some versions have locked bootloader and the versions with an unlocked bootloader, the partitions don't have write permissions

I was planning to get the g5 but once I got told it doesn't have write permissions I'm forced to get the s7 because the 6P lacks a removable sd slot.
>>53935737
holy fuck now I'm definitely not getting the 6P but now I'm leaning towards the s7 because at least it has removable SD storage and I'll be using a custom rom anyway

Except for the fact that the sd reader is irrelevant on the S7 since Samsung was too worried that their customers are retarded. It's only use is for media.

huawei mate 8 seems like the best. bigger display, faster than anything, superior wifi browsing battery life, cheaper, etc.
but what i'd really like to see is a 7-8" phablet that's lightweight, as fast as mate 8 with same crazy battery life and super amoled.
7s: shitty touchwiz

Is jtc even a thing anymore? Are they the new blackberry?
ASUS Zenfone 2 SE is best smartphone, unfortunately I bought an m9 and have been utterly disappointed with it and android 6.0 in general
Im choosing between the 6p, g4, and the s7
I like the bigger screen of the 60, and it has a good battery and camera plus regular android updates, s7 and g4 are nice because they have sd cards slots and the g4 is also the cheapest of the bunch
>>53933525
I can't justify upgrading my Gs5, but I'd be inclined to an s7 if I had the budget.
>>53934805
The average user definitely uses up a ton of space with photos and videos. I always hear complaints from people that they have no space on their phone.
What about the v10? Good screen, removable battery, SD support.. Is it the fact that it's still on lollipop and the gimmicky seconds screen is weird to /g/? Why is it rarely talked about?

So is the battery life on the 6S as bad as people make it out to be? From what I've seen online, the idle time is great but SOT is shit.
The 6P and iPhone 6S are the only phones worth even mentioning. Android still has a few years of maturing before it reaches iOS levels of polish. Especially with the cluster fuck that is android development libraries. Developing on iOS is actually enjoyable.
>>53936910
The non plus iPhones have pretty mediocre battery life. Doesn't help that they don't have quick charging either.
Honestly when apple adopts AMOLED and USBC with quick charging android will become irrelevant.
>>53936940

>>53936982
Hm yeah that's a good point. Supposedly theyre adopting AMOLED panels in 2017 but does seem like they'd have to do something about the white but then again that's one of iOS' signature things so idk.
I'd love to switch to android myself it's just none of the phones are quite there yet for me. This next iteration of Nexus phones might change that but who knows. Android just doesn't have the polish of iOS for me.

that would end the game. if iphone went dark and amoled with usb quick charging. they already have the best processors and best power managment, if they went amoled and continued used the saved space from removing the headphone jack to decrease the size of the top and bottom bezels and put in a larger battery, apple would end the game forever
>>53937034
I think the issue is going to be that Apple is the slow iterator and likes to wait until technology is proven first. That dream phone will inevitably happen but I think by the time it does Android might be ahead in new technologies.
>>53937005
>G2 ia the best optiob for both sub $100 and $200 if you dont mind no SD card slot.
That's a HUGE downside. 128GB UHS-I microsd cards go for as low as $30.
>Most sell it for under $200, theres a seller in Amazon selling unlocked D801s for $95 in veey good condition.
Nobody buys used phones. Also the battery is non-removable. Only a complete retard would buy this piece of shit over the $200 boost S4.

Instead of talking to people or eating? If you're at home, you can do it on a larger screen.

Stop being a fucking shill for a shit phone
Any major issues with the Moto X Style (also known as Pure)? It's at the very top end of my budget, and I'm comparing it to the Nexus 5X and the Oneplus Two. It has expandable storage which neither of the others do.
Battery life is apparently quite meh- but I usually carry a battery pack thingy anyway.
Both the other options have smaller screens, and the OP2 even lacks NFC. But for some reason nobody seems to praise/shill the Style, so am I missing something?
HTC 10 will be the best

Not even about megapixels, the camera is just flat shit, one of the main reasons HTC took a hit and it's why the camera is their main focus with the 10. The DSLR argument is irrelevant and ignorant.
>>53938102
I'm talking about overall experience here. App quality on iOS is significantly higher. iOS ecosystem is significantly more sophisticated than android. iOS as a platform is way more sophisticated especially from a developers standpoint. Android libraries are a mess. Not to mention the fragmentation of android as a whole. You can buy a flagship and never see the next android version. Meanwhile iOS has consistent updates. Refinement is worth more than bleeding edge features and that shows in sales. Android may have the market share, but you have poor people to thank for that. Meanwhile Apple takes something like 92% of smartphone profits. That's a decent incentive to developers when their user base actually buys apps instead of pirates them because theyre poor.

Motorola moto X pure. Plain and simple. Best $400 phone put there. Between specs, build quality, offering near bone stock Android, and having easily attainable root with custom ROMs it's an amazing phone.

iPhones got pretty damn good audio quality for phones, it's like they are made by a company that revolutionized mp3 players.
Just as specs, it's hard to compare phones that are out with rumours. All we know is that HTC will run Lagdroid, so most likely, it'd be slower than iPhone anyway.

>I always was a big proponent of it but bit more expensive but much faster storage is preferable.
Not really, $30 128GB UHS-I microsd cards transfer at ~50MB/s and write 25MB/s or faster. At those speeds you can transfer 2GB of data in ~30 seconds. Faster storage after this is practically overkill. In addition even 2GB RAM $100 android phones support 128GB microsd cards making android phones cheaper and have more storage apace than 128GB $1,000 iPhone 6S plus phones.
>>53934607
IPhones aren't even luxury anymore and haven't been since they came out. Thats why niggers have them now too.
>>53939598
this, you're LITERALLY paying more for less if you get an iPhone.
>>53938434
HTC fucked up the m9 but the 10 will be a game changer if they learned. They claim to use a fine dac (like always and better than the iPhone's) good speakers a decent 3000ma/h battery 820 and so on. It will probably be the best thing coming in 2016 but let's see what the new nexus phone offer.
Besides you buy a mSD once and can use it for years. 128 GB are 40 bucks more. The 64 th se costs 100 bucks more.
>>53939648

The chink webstore buyer is a more intellectual man. Buying directly from the chink is better than buying from a phones jumping from jew to jew to jew to you.
>>53939733
So save it on your phone, nobody listens to more than 10-15gb worth of music unless you are a FLACtard, and even if you have more, you can just keep it on your home computer and stream it to your android
>>53935737
This is basically my impression from youtube videos alone. And the battery is pretty shit compared to the s7/s7 edge.
The drop test I watched was the worst I have seen. Look it up, good that you returned it.
>>53939598
>nice meme
Nice denial.
>microsd cards transfer at ~50MB/s and write 25MB/s or faster
While iPhone NAND is 400/160MB/s, and I think the numbers are from 16GB version, 64 or at least 128GB should hit 1k read.
>Faster storage after this is practically overkill
Just what kind of retarded logic is that? There is no overkill in storage speed, the faster the better. Why would you want to waste 30 seconds waiting if it can be almost instantly?
Android solution is obviously cheaper but given the spirit of the thread, I'd say it's about the "best" and not "most affordable".
>comparing some $200 Lagdroid with 6s
Android flagships with micro SD aren't even that much cheaper and all have the no updates problem.
>>53939648
>HTC fucked up the m9 but the 10 will be a game changer if they learned
I admire your optimism but let's just wait.
>decent 3000ma/h battery
Not saying too much without knowing how much their screen uses. 820 is inferior to A9 in a lot of benchmarks, in real use even to A8 and depending on your ROM, even A7 is faster than say TouchJizz on 820.
>Besides you buy a mSD once and can use it for years.
Certainly, from purely price orientated POV, mSD is the better solution. From performance, it's not.
>>53939787

But I have no problem to wait some seconds to load music/series/fotos on/from my handy if I don't need to use iTunes. Besides I use WiFi Files Transfers Pro for big files.

Like what? The only high end Android phones that get updates on time lack micro SD.
>>53938045
keep trying.
>>53940159
Kinda true but it's more connected to iOS getting some of the features that were basic for Android like notification centre or flashlight.
Basically one of them improved, the other actually got worse and worse. Although Marshmallow is kay.
>>53939866
>Android flagships with micro SD aren't even that much cheaper and all have the no updates problem.
You're literally retarded. All Android phones get regular OTA updates and there are tons of $500 android flagships (with a microsd slot) that not only outperform the iPhone 6S plus but outspec it too with more RAM and more possible storage (ie 32GB Sony Z5 + $30 128GB microsd). Meanwhile the iPhone 6S plus is still $1,000 for the 128GB version.
>>53940225
>All Android phones get regular OTA updates

Aww, and here you dropped all the subtility.
>>53939960

Material design is what did it for me. On iOS any app looks great, on android devs just seem to misinterpret everything. There are some good looking apps but on average they just look like shit. And there is nothing I can do about it.
You may say it 'its just looks' but I think its important. Design is what shapes your experience when your using your phone and after using iPhones for while going back to android just feels like a step backwards.
>>53934841
What phone?
Everyone still wants to compare their phone to the iPhone, so it must be iPhone. I have yet to see "Samsung killer" appear in a headline anywhere.
I'll vote for the 6P.
Despite it's huge screen it gets decent SOT
i'm biased because i'm in love with this device.

Great CPU/GPU perf, smooth and stable OS, excellent design and materials.
Screen is outclassed by some of Samsung's better AMOLEDs but that's my only complaint.
>>53941139
So you're not gonna complain about how you have to pay $900 or more for 128GB of storage on it while even sub-$100 android phones can be equipped with fast 128GB micro sd cards for $30?
>>53933525
I'll be honest, one of the big reasons that I chose the 6S Plus is because it uses a PCI-e bus and the NVME protocol for its flash storage. There is literally no performance bottleneck placed on it with the full disk encryption. At least when it comes to the sequential performance.
Even the fastest Android or Windows Phone with encryption enabled and hardware accelerated AES can't reach the read/write speeds of the interface the iPhone uses. Again, at least when it comes to the sequential speeds. The random is either near the top or mid-pack.
>>53941445
You know all that means jack shit when the FBI know how to access the software/hardware backdoors on iOS right?
>>53941445
The only reason you got an iPhone is because you're a raging homosexual, don't lie. Also those benchmarks are meaningless since iPhones are full of backdoors.
>>53941472
They can do the same with Android as well. If you believe the NSA has the resources it does, then no OS is safe.
Frankly I'm personally more concerned about keeping my information private from other individuals over any three letter organization. If a state agency wants your infor and wants to devote enough resources and manpower to get it, there's probably very little you can do to stop them.

>>53941512
>They can do the same with Android as well. If you believe the NSA has the resources it does, then no OS is safe.
Android is safer however since it's open source and if backdoors existed people would report it. If you remove google as a phone admin and put in a complex password on it it's impossible to crack. Meanwhile the fbi can pretend it can't break into an iPhone and then months later say "lol jk" and access it.
>Frankly I'm personally more concerned about keeping my information private from other individuals over any three letter organization. If a state agency wants your infor and wants to devote enough resources and manpower to get it, there's probably very little you can do to stop them.
You can start by not using a closed source OS that has had backdoors since forever.

>>53941575
SanDisk Extreme PRO microsd cards have ~90MB/s write/ ~95MB/s read speeds. You can transfer about 6GB of data in about a minute.
Why the fuck would need data speeds like this on a phone is beyond me. The 64GB variant of the microsd I was talking about costs $50.
>>53941524
OmniROM with the shipped kernel, which is pretty much AOSP
>>53941582
>Android is safer however since it's open source and if backdoors existed people would report it
Sure, if you believe that. In a perfect world open source is safe because of the "many eyes" watching the code. But you realize that's basically nonsense in most code, right? We've all seen massive security breaches in open source projects in just the last couple of years because nobody was actually vetting anything. Ostensibly it's the best, but only if there are enough people actually doing what you claim they're doing.
>Meanwhile the fbi can pretend it can't break into an iPhone and then months later say "lol jk" and access it.
If the rumors about how they accessed the 5C phone are accurate, that doesn't work in any newer phone using a TPM (or "Secure Enclave" in apple market speak) due to the fact that NAND mirroring wouldn't erase the number of password guesses.
>put in a complex password on it it's impossible to crack.
You can use alphanumeric on iOS as well. Also, no one in their right mind ever actually tries to "crack" the encryption itself. They use side channel attacks. If you think there aren't phones of all stripes running all forms of operating systems - including the latest Android - that aren't vulnerable to some form of a side channel attack, then I have a bridge to sell you. Don't let your biases blind you to the truth.
>You can start by not using a closed source OS that has had backdoors since forever.
You make sure to let me know when it makes a practical difference with running anything that isn't something like QubesOS that is built from the ground up on the assumption that everything is already compromised. Telling me that Android is more secure than iOS or Windows Phone or BBOS or whatever just because some large portions of it are open source is not a realistically sound argument given the evidence of the last few years.
