Why do people un-ironically buy android phones like the Nexus 6P?

All android phones literally get OTA updates.

Why do people willingly fuck themselves over with such shitty phones? Why don't they just stop the foreplay and let apple fuck them in the ass if they hate expandable storage so much.

pic related is under $100 and has up to 90MB/s transfer speed.

Shills. There's actually a very low, but loud amount of Nexus owners on here.
I'm a moderator on a fairly large tech site and most comments praising these Huaweis, Xiaomis and Nexus phones have Indian and Thai IP addresses.

>All android phones literally get OTA updates.

The frequency of those updates all depends on the brand and carrier.

Back when i had a galaxy s4, samsung would release an update like once a season, then with tmobile, i'd have to wait for them to shit it up with bloatware and make sure it was stable after all that nonsense to get it on my phone. i got maybe 2 updates in a years time with that phone, and both of them were shit. Ended up trying my best to get cm running on it, and even then, nightlies were the only thing worth running on there.

no idea how frequent the updates from brands and carriers are now, since i've had a oneplus one for a while now and use community developed roms that get updated weekly.
>>
I have a theory: because some people enjoy getting cucked. Strange I know but maybe these nexus users somehow derive pleasure from knowing that they are getting ripped off.

>Why do people un-ironically buy android phones like the Nexus 6P?

I'm not keeping entire drive backups on my phone. My 128GB 6P as more than enough capacity, what would I use a 200GB sd card for?

I agree with you on the Nexus 5X, though. They should have at least made a 64GB variant available.

I'd gladly get a 6P if it wasn't so expensive here in SEA. You don't need to root it in order to get rid of the shitty bloatware and UI Shitsung preloads.
Nothing wrong with non-expandable 32GB. It's a god damn phone, even if you're a CP enthusiast, you've got a cloud to back everything up. I don't see the need for huge amounts of memory.
I've got an Asus ZF5 LTE with 16 internal and 16 SD and I've never run out of space.

Nope, Nexus phones are the official cuck phones. If they add a microsd slot cucks will feel less oppressed and jump ship in favor of other companies who cater to cucks like oneplus.

Not him but I have boost's unlimited lte plan and some months use over 60gb of data. However even I'm still against android phones without microsd slots. Streaming looks like shit and they barely have half the content you're looking for anyway. 50GB of my microsd card is torrents, the rest is music and other stuff btw.

Even if you don't store shit on your phone buy a phone with a microsd slot. Getting a phone withou a microsd slot tells jews you are a massive cuck who will literally pay more for less if you shill it hard enough.

My cheap zte warp elite does, files transfer at ~50MB/s from phone (microsd storage) to my pc and I can write to my phone (microsd storage) from my PC at ~25MB/s. If my cheap android phone can do this than so can your fancy flagship android phones with a microsd slot.

>most phone manufacturers cheap out hardcore when it comes to spec for their microSD readers
Most phones are priced $100-200 since like 80% of humanity lives in poverty. Naturally very few of these phones will have UHS support like my zte warp elite. Your flagships are very unlikely to have this problem.

I can't and my music library is 17GB btw. The point is I have a larger selection of music to chose from so I never get bored of listening to the same music. Maybe I will never listen to the thousands of songs that I have but I will die knowing that I enjoyed as much music as my free time would allow me to.

Doesn't bother me. The freedom to run any software I want and get the latest updates is a fair trade off.

Pic related is my Nexus 6. Had I gotten a Note 4 at the time I still would be on slow ass lollipop with touchjizz and locked bootloader.

Meanwhile my Nexus is on the latest Android version and gets over 7 hours of SOT after a year of optimization. Only cost me $230 new too.

I enjoy being the first to receive security updates, rooting my Nexus 5 was easy as fuck and didn't give me trouble at all. Xperiafags are 100 times more cucked. They might have an SD slot but when you can't even unlock the bootloader WITHOUT TELLING SONY BEFOREHAND this counts for naught.

I only use my phone for basic stuff so more storage is not necessary. I browse on my computer or my tablet. One has enough storage as is between its SSD and external HDD, the other does have an SD card slot.

Yeah, my Nexus 5 is pretty snug right now. I might go for Sony this time, the X Performance is looking nice.

G3, G4 or note 4 is the way to go for roms, a bigger battery and more memory in a phone that isn't meant for a manlet. All three are available on the providers that have unlimited plans in the US. Pick your poison. Also Zerolemon is the tits.

Rooting without relying on poo in loo extreme poo edition is pretty cool.

Agree about the xperiafags too. They're definitely the worst android userbase.

I usually backup and factory reset my phone once a year, because I can't stand anything less than that "out of the box" snappiness. I bought my Nexus 5 the weekend it came out and I think it's a super high value phone. My quarrels: small battery, and shitty camera. Pros: super fast and snappy, always am the first to get updates, no bloatware. IMO a very high value phone that has stayed relevant in this ridiculously short product life cycle market.

Nexus 5 owner here. On my current phone 32GB is enough, but when I upgraded to my short lived g3 with a 64GB sd card I was using over 40GB storage.

You can buy a Nexus for about $200-400 less than a Samsung or iPhone for basically the same experience. Also why do people want so much storage on a phone... It's a fucking phone. Set up a home server and connect to it when you need extra space.

Because they're idiots. They think 16/32GB of storage will be enough and then panic when they run out of storage.

Surely a lower failure rate than a 200gb microsd and has 10 times the storage.

Assuming you aren't playing catch with your drives they are quite reliable.

Surely not
>>
>>54019544
You're retarded. Modern microsd cards have very high quality controllers that perform global wear leveling. Aven assuming sandisk cheaped out on 200GB microsd cards they will still have a good ~1,000 write cycles before they fail. That's 200,000GB of writes on 200GB microsd cards. You're only gonna write 1 or 2 TB of data on those cards while you use them.

A hard drive can fail in 2-4 years unpredictably due to mechanical wear and tear.

tl;dr 200gb sandisk microsd cards will literally outlive you and a HDD won't

Ideally, I'd use my own home NAS as a owncloud server, but unfortunately it doesn't count for the free streaming and binge, so it is what it is.

Not him but I always have at least 150 songs in my current playlist which I listen to for 2-3 days, afterwards I torrent some albums on my, rename everything so it fits my naming scheme (very autistic about this), then I make up a playlist with some of my favourites and the new albums. Currently using 38gib out of 52 (internal + msd).
>>
>>54011988

Because iOS is unusable, and the purchaser has enough money for hardware that isn't sub $300. Honestly, if I could afford to get a new phone at the moment, I'd probably be considering a Nexus or Xperia device to replace my OPO.

I've got a Nexus 4, cost like $130 and is still going strong. Only thing I dislike is the lack of microsd and I know it's because Google wants to push the cloud server bullshit. That's cool and all, but I don't fucking use it and I won't use it until I change phones. I'd like a new Nexus but the only upside is slightly more battery as well as faster load times. I think this n4 has the perfect size, so no point upgrading to a xbox huge phone when I only use email, snapchat, clover, text and calling.
>>
I've had an S4 since it came out and I'm still pretty satisfied. What's wrong with Android? I just don't like Apple's UI and capabilities, I like Samsungs gimmicks like switching photos by waving my hand in front of the screen.

Does /g/ not like the 6P? What Androids do you guys like?

>not using an ipod classic for music

Literally retarded to waste phone space that could be used for apps, videos and pictures on music when there's the iPod Classic.
>>
Honestly, anyone who supports integrated storage is a fucking tool. Manufacturers are able to buy the respective storage mediums in bulk for a much lower price than the consumer could, and then they factor in a HIGHER price than a consumer would pay on their own. Not only that, but it's also a less complicated manufacturing process because they don't need to create a device that can be opened and closed easily.

Just another example of capitalism hindering our species rather than helping it.
>>
>>54010870
you can't just put any size tf card in a phone, most phones are limited to 64GB with some supporting up to 128.

Dont get a fuggen experia youve been listening to so many sony shills.
Id like to point out to everybody that sony shills are rampant in /v/ and spill over to /p/ and/g/ when they're bored. The xperia has horrible build quality, buy a one plus or something fuck
>>
>>54023065
You literally can though. Phones supporting up to 32GB microsd cards will support 64GB & 128GB microsd cards formated in fat32. Probably even 200GB formated in fat32.

How do I know this? My moto e accepted a 128gb evo microsd after I formated in fat32.

The catch is no files bigger than 4GB though.

You know it's kind of odd how manufacutures always boast about the cameras with 4k or 120fps but they don't give the space needed to store it. So the user will always have to transfer stuff to their computers. It's kind of inconvenient.

My Android lifespan

>Get a Droid because iPhone is not on Verizon
So much better and more powerful - Android is really the future.

>Upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus because the iPhone doesn't do 4G
Well at least it's fast for the 3 hours.. kind of laggy too.. but the screen is amazing compared to the low res shit. 720p on phone, unreal.

>Upgrade to an HTC One
So sexy, 1080p screen now and awesome build quality.... kind of laggy still.. but maybe my next phone being stock Android will fix that

>Upgrade to a Nexus 6
Ok it's still kind of fucking laggy and frustrating to use I'm not buying another Android phone ever. Shame because I love the size.

At some point every Android phone I've owned has pissed me off enough with lag, OTA bullshit issues, etc to make me want to change to an iPhone but for the last 3 phones I've convinced myself reading shit on /g/ that the "Lag is gone!" "Buttery smooth" and shit and it never actually is.
>>
Nexus 6p owner here. Fingerprint scanner is awesome, fuckin great screen, marshmallow and snapdragon cpu are smoother than OPs baby ass.

As for the expandable storage problem: it's a phone. I have a desktop and iPod for everything else.

Classic fox and grapes, 10/10 OP made me reply.

I've had at least 4GB free on my 5X since I've had it. I torrent anime and watch it at work, I just delete it when I'm done. I don't store music because a separate MP3 player is better for me. I keep a flash drive on my keyring so no need to use my phone for storage.

>Implying even Nexus devices don't have to wait for carrier firmware

Maybe if you purchased it directly from Google, but that's about 0.000000001% of the owners of Nexus devices, most of them are on contracts/plans with carriers, who force their own firmware
>bbbubuut it's a nexus
Tell that to Tesltra m8.
>>
>>54032126
If you even know what a firmware is and cares about it then you should be downloading them from google and flashing it directly. They're all interchangeable after all.

The initial flash is all I takes to register your device to the official Google update channels.
>>
>>54032174
>you should void warranty just to updates, don't tell me you don't want to void your warranty for updates, get with the times grandpa.

I don't purchase devices that are designed to fail and not ever be covered under a warranty.
>>
>>54024541

my phone has 64gb of rom, why the fuck do I need more? It's a phone, not a laptop.
>>
>>54032228
...? Fastboot doesn't void warranty. It's literally what OTAs themselves use to apply the update.

You're confusing it with bootloader unlocking which allows you to install roms, but for Nexus devices it doesn't void the warranty and can be easily relocked. But that's another topic ad have nothing to do with updates.
>>
>>54032126
>getting a contracted phone with telstra

Not my fault you went full retard.

Other carries don't seem to block OTA updates from google, but hey.

Easy enough to get past telstras bullshit anyway if you aren't a moron.

>Maybe if you purchased it directly from Google, but that's about 0.000000001% of the owners of Nexus devices

BAHAHAHAHHAHA, sure.

If you can't wait however long it takes telstra (if they are even still delaying ota updates), you can always sideload it from google...

tldr. you clearly don't have a full grasp on this topic.
>>
>>54011857
Don't you mean
>I've never needed storage more

You can save any song, album or playlist for offline play tho. It's actually good because it uses less battery and no data.

Most shit phones maybe. My M8 got Marshmallow over 2 months ago.
