guys I bought a Nexus 6p because everyone says it's better at multitasking because it keeps apps running in the background but everytime I try to go from one app to another, like say going from chrome to calculator then back to chrome, it reloads the webpage again just like iphone does. or if I go from chrome to a game it would reload the game again.
so what exactly makes it better than the iphone?
>>53978031
By multitasking, we meant listening to music while browsing the internet, having real time notifications, not fetched.
There's also things like custom launchers and filesystem access.
What are the chances the HTC M10 will have an unlocked bootloader? I've been wanting to upgrade to one of the new flagships, but they're all locked down tight so far.
>/spg/
>no news
Also what do you guys think I can get for my One M8 when I want to trade it in for the HTC 10?
Any good providers that would offer a deal with contract?

Sony phones are generally very expensive and remain so for their entire lifetime from what I see. The Z3C on expansys.ca is almost as expensive as the Z5C ($469 vs $549) to this day.

You can't. Boost phones work with boost and virgin mobile phones worth with virgin mobile. Once you call to cancel your virgin mobile service ask how you can transfer your number over to boost.
>I'm with virginmobile and been with them for about 6 years and have always payed 35$ for unlimited everything, though i think the data is capped i rarely reach that cap.
It is and you'll be glad to know that boost will give you more high speed data for $30 a month with auto re-boost (you can cancel any time).
Anyone run into sim card issues with the Zenfone 2? GF dropped hers and now neither slot will read the sim card. I've tried putting tape on the back of the sim card to force a better connection with no luck. Also tried factory resetting with no luck.

>>53979970
>>not same anon but a microsd slot is must have on an android phone.

It really is, the whole point of android is to be better than iPhones not mimic them. Microsd cards are cheap as dirt nowadays, 200GB microsd cards could drop to as low as $50 a piece soon.
Do HTC devices still have their crappy TouchWiz equivalent?
>>53980009
>>more features and better specs.
>Like what exactly?
Higer res screen, more RAM, more storage space for a lower price, expandable storage up to 200GB (soon 256GB). The ability to use your phone as a flash drive. The ability to browse files on your phone without having to hack it. The ability to torrent on your phone without having to hack it. The ability to transfer files other than movies/photos by wifi-direct. The ability to run more apps and games at the same time without running out of ram (aka multi-tasking). And so much more.

What's THE best flagship out right now?

Suddenly it got removed. How do I bring it back?
>>53980088
Why did you switch so suddenly?
Does your new phone have a camera that can record 4k at 30 fps? How is the camera on your new phone?
What about the stock apps? The apps on iOS just seem really great, especially the ones from Apple.

>Does your new phone have a camera that can record 4k at 30 fps?
yup just like my iPhone 6S used to, though the video taken on the Z5 looks less blurry and shaky.
How is the camera on your new phone?
Great, captures far more detail than what my iPhone 6S could
>What about the stock apps? The apps on iOS just seem really great, especially the ones from Apple.
So are the ones from sony.
>>53980562
That's when you start asking yourself "What are some good unlocked 4G phones from china?" And there are some worthy brands, like Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo, Ulefone, and upcoming Vernee. And they cost less too.
>>53978031
The advantages of Android over iPhone lie purely in user freedom. You can customise what you want, install whatever software you want, hardware is much easier to open up and get it repaired either by yourself or a third party, you get expandable storage with microSD cards, you can install new batteries, Google Play Store isn't region locked, you can side load apps from outside of the Play Store so you're not limited to what Google says you can and can't have on your own phone.
The advantages of iPhone over Android lie in a smooth OS that doesn't shit itself on the odd occasion, you get software updates for a very long time and Apple really push their devices to their limits before they drop software support, they interoperate very well with other Apple devices.
These days there is no objectively superior option when it comes to choosing between Android and iPhones, it's now purely down to subjective user preference.
How is the S7's audio quality? Decently usable as a music player for casual listening? The S5 was pretty disappointing in that regard, but I don't want to have to get a G5 to have a phone that doesn't sound like shit.
>>53980709
>The advantages of iPhone over Android lie in a smooth OS that doesn't shit itself on the odd occasion, you get software updates for a very long time and Apple really push their devices to their limits before they drop software support, they interoperate very well with other Apple devices.
I had more problems on my iPhone 6S than on my Sony Z5, iOS is a train wreck.
>These days there is no objectively superior option when it comes to choosing between Android and iPhones, it's now purely down to subjective user preference.
Objectively android phones are superior, they have better specs, and do the same thing iPhones do if not better for a lower cost. Look man you've obviously never owned an iPhone in your life and are talking out of your ass. If you would have owned an iPhone you would know how shitty and overpriced they are.
>>53980714
All phone DACs are pretty much the same except on chink brands. I've carefully listened to songs over and over again on a moto e and on my S4 to see if I could hear "better" sound quality. I didn't, both phones literally sounded the same to me. If you want a media player just use your phone or get a moto e.
Is touchwiz still lagwiz? I heard you can turn off most of the bloat these days, and phone specs these days should be enough to just power past it, no?
>>53980754
>they have better specs
Don't iPhones score better on benchmarks?
>>53980754
>>53980754
>iOS is a train wreck
If by "train wreck" you mean "stable and secure" then yes, it is.
>they have better specs
Which means nothing because Android is nowhere near as optimised as iOS. An iPhone that's three generations old will run iOS just as well as the latest Android phone runs it's own OS.
>do the same thing iPhones do if not better for a lower cost.
But often at lower quality too since developers often pay less care and attention to Android apps than they do with iOS apps.
>Look man you've obviously never owned an iPhone in your life
I've owned two iPhones but whatever senpai
>>53980822
My S7 is smooth as fuck after debloating and rooting, and despite what some people claim I can open apps that have been kept in the background for hours without having to reload them.
>>53980850
Discounting Samsung (who can't really be trusted since they got caught cheating with the S5) then yes
>>53980850
>Don't iPhones score better on benchmarks?
They do but in real world use iPhones overheat occasionally and are crippled by the fact that they have less RAM in sustained multi-tasking. Over time my iPhone 6S became a hot laggy piece of shit. My Z5 doesn't have that problem.
>>53980918
>crippled by the fact that they have less RAM in sustained multi-tasking.
iOS isn't like Android where it needs 8GB RAM and quad-core CPUs just to keep the OS from crashing
>>53980861
>If by "train wreck" you mean "stable and secure" then yes, it is.
No it's not and the FBI has been using backdoors on iPhones for years to recover "encrypted" data.
>Which means nothing because Android is nowhere near as optimised as iOS. An iPhone that's three generations old will run iOS just as well as the latest Android phone runs it's own OS.
No it won't, apple makes older iPhones laggier on purpose with each new update to encourage people to get the latest iPhone. I would also say Android is more optimized than iOS.
>But often at lower quality too since developers often pay less care and attention to Android apps than they do with iOS apps.
The opposite is true in my experience.
>I've owned two iPhones but whatever senpai
sure thing pal
>>53980940
>quad-core
Lel you're making apple fans look terrible
>>53980822
TouchWiz is fine these days. You get like... single dropped frames at most, rarely, and you can turn off the vast majority of the bloat.
>>53980940
>iOS isn't like Android where it needs 8GB RAM and quad-core CPUs just to keep the OS from crashing
nice meme. iOS is possibly the worst OS out there for multi-tasking. My iPhone 6S could barely load itunes in under a minute after installing a few games and apps.
>>53980940
>8GB RAM and quad-core CPUs
I think you got those backwards.
>>53978031
>being this fucking retarded
Root that shit and read about OOM values.
>>53980943
>No it's not and the FBI has been using backdoors on iPhones for years to recover "encrypted" data.
Oh and I guess Android is completely immune to security holes eh? When was the court case between FBI and Google where they couldn't break in to an encrypted Android device? (And yes I'm well aware the FBI eventually found a vulnerability in iOS that allowed them to drop the case).
>No it won't, apple makes older iPhones laggier on purpose with each new update to encourage people to get the latest iPhone.
Old phones get laggier because that's how new software works, new software gets more demanding thus old hardware can't run it for so long. If Apple really wanted to force people to upgrade to every latest iPhone then why do they still push software updates to the 4S which is 5 years old now?
>I would also say Android is more optimized than iOS.
That's not even possible since Android runs on a much broader hardware base than iOS.
I get it kiddo, you don't like Apple but you don't have to resort to straight up lying.
Best rom/kernel combo for the 6p?
I have an Iphone 6 right now, switched from a galaxy s4, love the reliability of the apple brick but feel like its a flip phone with touch screen, no customization or feeling of freedom (i want shit like adblock or a way to transfer movies to my phone hassle free) anyway, upgrade in november, I want an android, not too big, quick, and reliable also, is the s7 good? havent had great experience with samsung

Who else is fucking hyped? Time to sell my G4 for this baby.
I'm in the market for a new phone. All I fucking want is good specs, a removable battery and microsd, but the G5 is shit and it looks like all upcoming flagships are lacking those features. Any good chink phones that fit the criteria?
>>53981504
Calm down, Mr. Benson.
My mother is looking for a smartphone upgrade from her HTC One, she wants something big but not a phablet, she carries her phone in her purse and uses a small dumbphone for urgent work related calls so it doesn't need to fit into any pockets, but it should be comfortable in your hand. It should have solid speakers, high quality build and materials, a stellar camera, possibly some advanced video options, good specs, and a sharp screen with good color reproduction. Quality DAC would be a bonus too. Any phones that fit all those criteria?
>>53981504
I wonder what size this "Ultrapixel" is, if it's 1.7 micrometers it could be a winner.
>>53981595
If you got her a dual SIM phone, she could send / receive calls from both her personal and work numbers on the same device.
>>53978180
HTC Bootloaders are all unlockable, but getting S-OFF will take a while, and may not be free (Sunshine S-OFF is $20, and its the only one that can S-OFF new hboot)

>>53980060
Sense on Lollipop is pretty good, an actual improvement over stock AOSP, unlike Touchjizz.
>>53981595
A newer HTC One?
>>53981642
She specifically wants to have separate phones for work and private use. Dual SIM phones also tend to put higher emphasis on business features rather than multimedia. Either that or they're chink phones. That's not really what she's looking for.
>>53981685
HTC's latest showings don't fill me with confidence about any of their upcoming phones. Even if the M10's specs sound like exactly what she's looking for, and it'd have the familiarity bonus.
>>53978900
You're not the only one. I hope HTC doesnt fuck it up. I heard they still use BoomSound but hid it better.?

It's looking like the HTC 10 will be my next phone guys, I really hope they don't fuck up again.

>>53983067
>Will the new HTC be able to knock the s7 King off its throne?
Nope.
I just got done having an HTC one m8 for 2 years. Just upgraded to the S7 Edge.
I'll say this, the HTC phones have incredible speakers as far as phones go. They can fill a room with high quality loud music. The metal casing is also nice. Outside of that, the galaxy is superior and I've only had it for 4 days and I can say that. It's just a more intuitively friendly phone.
Little things like the way apps work in the background without disturbing you. It's all very helpful.
And the battery life... the HTC one has a huge battery problem in that after about a year, they stop collecting significant charge. I had to order a replacement phone after a year and now a year later, I had the same problem.
Plus it's nice that the galaxy is supported everywhere with peripherals and pretty much all software.
The one thing I'll say is you don't need the edge varient. It's pretty much just a pointless gimmick, but both are far better than HTC.

>>53983140
Wow thanks for the input. How's the gear VR (if you have one?).
Just bought this, SD 650 version to replace my galaxy note 3
Overpaid but that's how phones in general are in this country
Anyway anyone have any experience with this?
>>53978900
The fuck looks like someone took the back of the M7 and front of a galaxy and applied bevel and emboss over it.
>>53983140
Owner of all 3 HTC one here this is pretty spot on but I haven't had any issues with battery life. The camera is shite and the M9 is on par with the S5.
>>53983675
Did you order from Ali?
>>53983779
>G E N E R I C
How did the company that designed the Evo and the M7 screw this up?
>>53983779
Imo the back looks better than all the other phones. The button looks horrible missplaced and shitty to reach.
All in all its okay. I like it.
Heard rumours that they still use BoomSound but better hidden.
What the fuck is this god damn shit? I just got my S7 edge in the mail and the fucking back and recents apps buttons reversed.
Who the fucking fuck designed this god damn piece of shit? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
Why the fuck didn't any of the 50 fucking reviews I read mention something so god damned critical?
>>53983856
The back actually does look pretty good. Shame about the front though.
>>53983853
No, from a resaler in the country.
>>53983890
Ye why do they start to put a physical home button in it?

Chrome does that across the board to save ram instead of having the page loaded all the time. Otherwise Android works extremely well going from app to app. 4/10 for making me reply

>>53983855
Scott Croyle Left the company during the M9 designing process and started Nextbit (Robin)
He's apparently the guy behind the M7.
After he left HTC abandoned the idea of being a western creative company, to become a MBA company, which means copy the competition. They released the M9 with 8 variants and Launched the iPhone like HTC A9. Now the HTC 10 looks like they want to do the samsung thing.
>>53983915
If they would've just made the HTC logo a capacitive home button I think it'd be perfect.>>53983914
>>53983926
Oh fuck off you shit head. It's a legitimate complaint. This is as bad as a control scheme being locked into inverted with no option to change it.
>>53983860
>I was too lazy to type S7 in youtube and take one look at the phone
You deserve it.
also, back button on the right always made more sense.

Boomsound is there, but it's for headphones. The speakers will be amplified stereo for all you know, but no front firing speakers.

I retract my previous statement. That doesn't look half bad, it's definitely Samsung-ish but it's fine. Hopefully the specs don't disappoint like the previous models.

I'm looking at either getting the nexus 5x, or the moto x pure edition. Does the pure edition have an sd card slot? That will be the deciding factor.

does the pay version support more than 2 languages at once?
I'm trying to get Cabinet Beta, a file manager I've heard is quite good, but I'm in Russia right now and I keep getting a message that the app isn't available in my country when I go here
>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afollestad.cabinet&hl=en
Can anyone in a civilized country verify that it's working for them, and, if it is available, how can I go about easily accessing it from Russia? I have a US Google Play account, you'd think that would mean I wouldn't have problems...
>>53983951
>If they would've just made the HTC logo a capacitive home button
I think this has been a complaint from most users since the fucking M7.
HTC will never learn, and they'll go bankrupt because they are absolutely incapable of making a good and visually appealing smartphone.
Is Moto G 2015 turbo worh extra 30 euros over regular Moto G 2015?
I would lose a little bit of battery, heating (SD615) and 4G, but will gain dual sim, better procssesor and dustproofness.
>>53984752
>visually appealing
Maybe not but my M9 feels 10x better to hold than all the other flagships.
>>53984810
And is worse in every other regard.
>>53984828
Not really senpai. Battery life is good, 1080p audio quality is the best on the market. Performance is good. Keep on reverse shilling though, maybe Samsung will throw you a few shekels.
>>53984868
Nexus 6p still better at everything

Bought a 6P last week. It's OK but a bit unwieldy. Is the HTC 10 looking promising? I had an incredible 2 and it was kinda shit.

>not a single RGB / Super AMOLED Plus ever after, especially not the 800€ S7 Edge with the same resolution as last year's model
And do not fucking tell me it does not count at this Pixel rate/density. I see the horrendous effect on a S7 more than a foot away. And it is even worse than with the original AMOLED HTC Desire in 2010.
God, I miss my SII. They went the Apple way, and the userbase accepted it.
>>53985992
One of the reasons my note 2 with CM11 is still super GOAT
Is the SII rgb? So every single phone afterwards. Besides the note 2is pentile
Le fuck ?
>>53981136
Question, or statement?
>>53985955
I have quite small hands imo and the 6p is very comfortable
>>53986289
Idk I'm very tall but I constantly have it slide out when using one handed.
>>53985019
Can you even get that on devices that aren't the Priv?
>>53985955
Ok, I have really big hands so I guess the size won't really be a problem. In fact my old Lumia 930 was kinda small to me (5").
ONEPLUS X OWNERS
If you're considering a case, get the Spigen Rugged one. The official oneplus and all the others a total shit. This one compliments the phone's design/doesn't mask the fuck out of it, makes it grippier, and still retains thinness
If this phone had a better battery, I wouldn't see a reason to upgrade tbqh

Yes

Nope, those are RGBG Pentile.

Every display from S3 to S6.
>>53986223
yup, SII had the first RGB Super AMOLED Plus screen.
And the Note 2 had the last RGB Super AMOLED Plus screen.
After my SII was stolen from me in Rome, I quickly bought a Note1, thinking that people always saying "it's got more pixels than my old TV, who would notice that?" could be right. I was wrong, and them too. Still to this day - 2560x1440 hurts in my eyes when reading Text with a PenTile Diamond Bullshit Array. chromatic aberration in displays of 2016 flagship phones that get sold for double the price their predecessors once cost - it is truly a shame, especially how the press and every Tech Channel and vlog faggot lies about it. No one ever mentions it anymore - and everyone says how "sharp" Samsungs AMOLED Screens are. Spoiler Alert / reality check: they are shit. unless it's RGB, I will Stick to my M8 with LCD :/ the Note 2 is too big, plastic-y and generally old to compete with my HTC, even though I really miss Super AMOLED Plus times.
>>53986323
I'm anon you asked - and yes. I have it running on my G5.
As long as you've got Android 5 or 6.

>>53986400
looks disgusting even after checking your digits
Also: look at the blackspace here, just how much better would it look if it had a dedicated RGB Layout with maybe 1% blackspace in between subpixels?
Does HTC shit still have TouchSense? Cause I hated that big time
>>53983111>>53983111
LCD pissed me off when using ambient display
No notification multicolor led
Battery life sucked
Returned it for 326.61$ to best buy and went back to using my note 2
Entire backlight turns on
>>53986536
*HTC Sense
and no, it does not suck like it did on cheap/old phones - in fact flagship Models since the M7 have been the most fluid and stable ones alongside Nexus phones, despite having no app closing animation in 2016 - they're usually much smoother than edgy Galaxy S7's Touchjizz.
>>53986450
Wait did note 1 have the rgb ?
Why did they kill off RGB super amoled plus?
Was it simply too beautiful for this world
>>53983140
have fun with PenTile, won't be degrading my M8 with shitty Mono Speaker and a way worse display. Yes I compared these two directly and can say for me that 1080p RGB is still a LOT better than 1440p Diamond PenTile. Boo-fucking hoo.
>>53986697
Note 1 had the really old PenTile Layout with RGBG like in S1 or HTC Desire (early AMOLED version), only Note 2 and S2 had the Plus which stands for RGB.
S, S3, S4, S5, S6, S6 Edge, S7 Edge, Note, Note 3, Note 4 all have slightly varying PenTile arrangements, never ever RGB. And you can see that.. 40cm to the eye, I already noticed a purple horizontal line differing the Google Search Widget from the background. On a second glimpse, I started to detect a green line on the bottom of the widget too - and literally ragequittet from that store. I am in anger. And in fear. And feel powerless against all those "Tech reviews", articles, vlogs and Bullshit flying around the net stating Samsung having the best displays ever made, thus making their Devices the best smartphones im a glimpse - in the S8, we will get introduced to USB Tyoe-C3.1 that was introduced in 2015. in the S9, my hopes are big that we will see RGB come back from 2011 - and I really wonder how the world will view upon that, realizing the shills fell for the PenTile meme even after Samsung itself debunked it with their ads for RGB displays in 2011 and 2012. God do I hope for some suicides.

What you describe being signs of an amoled display.
>40cm to the eye, I already noticed a purple horizontal line differing the Google Search Widget from the background. On a second glimpse, I started to detect a green line on the bottom of the widget too
Maybe it was a defective or burned out display. Definitely not artefacts due to amoled.

Low self-confidence?
>>53987786
that was a showcase phone fully featured and ready to use.
It is all due to the PenTile Diamond array in the subpixels. If you Focus on a white Surface in the interface, you'll notice the AMOLED with not RGB(only ones with RGB were S2, Note2) having frickles compared to a lower resolution LCD. Did that with the S7 versus HTC One M8. Also saw the S7 Edge, and many other Models such as the S6 Edge Plus, and I ALWAYS See the problems that result from the PenTile Matrix used in these. I'm not a Samsung Hater, I had the S2 and Note1 - but just can not live with displays that not use RGB Layout. My eyes may be better than normalfag ones, but still the Samsung displays nowadays can't even top their own ones from 2011 and 2012. I'm sad that the press lies about this circumstance all the time and everywhere I seek for information.

>>53987786
Look at this Galaxy Note 4 Image, and you can think for yourself as to why hard contrasts produce purple to green lines. It looks like chromatic aberration to me in real life usage, and distracts me from reading.
