Looking at the z5, z5 compact, z3+ and nexus 5x. Which of those has a good camera, is able to browse, emulate and multitask with no problems, has no issues with overheating (summer is around 110 F) wont be obsolete in 2+ years and isnt overpriced
>>
Now that the HTC 10 was just released, which should I be getting now (and don't say wait for fall iPhone or Nexus, I need a new phone now, currently rocking a dumb phone because my moto g went swimming with the fishies). As far as I'm concerned, the main differences are as follows:

HTC 10
+Better speakers/DAC
+USB 3.0 for faster wired data transfer (type C as well)
+Less bloat/more stock Android feel
+sense>touchwizz

Galaxy s7
+Waterproof (really attempting considering my last phone got waterlogged)
+Samsung pay (And don't say Android pay is the same thing, as not a lot of stores around me have NFC, but they do have the electronic swipe)
+sexier design (IMO)
+AMOLED screen
+GearVR (I heard I will never view porn the same way after getting one of these)

Let me know if I missed anything. So which one /g/? (And no meme answers please)

Smartphones have a lot of features these days along with some impressive specs.

Besides making calls, sending texts, streaming music, banking, and using the Facebook app, how often do the people that you guys know do other things on their phone? I mean things like reading an ebook, taking and editing video and photos, and watching locally stored movies.

Also do the people that you guys know use their phones heavily when they're connected to wifi as opposed to when they're not?

I need to upgrade from my Note 3 but I have no clue what to get.

-I've decided I'm not dealing with Samsung's lack of software updates anymore
-I really do like AMOLED displays therefore the HTC 10 is kind of moot
-Nexus 6P seems like best option, but then I can't use my microsd, plus the bezels and the phone in general is/are fuckhueg
-I hate LG products in general and think the G5 is ugly
-chinkphones are a no

Part of me thinks I should just keep my Note 3 (stuck on Lollipop for the rest of eternity) for now. Part of me is still holding out hope that a Galaxy S7 Edge Google Play Edition is coming out soon. It would be the perfect phone.

>tfw bought a Galaxy S6 when the S7 was released because the salesman told me they wouldn't ever sell them (poor engineering student, I need muh subscriptions), and all they offered were iPhones and an older HTC One, and some shitty Huawei models, and I want a phone with good performance because I usually keep phones for a year or so, and the screen is probably one of the most important things to me

I've got an S6 now with 32GB and while it's a great phone, Touchwiz takes up too much space, I keep running out.

Also the Exynos is a good SoC but it's proprietary.

Did I do bad? I pay the equivalent of 45 USD for the phone and the subscription (free data, calls a day texts in 20+ countries, 200 GB 4G data, free text and talking, plus the S6) is a 20-month contract.

I'll give you one reason not to buy any phone: it doesn't cover your use case.

If it'll not work as you expect or want it to, don't buy it.

If you're not familiar with Windows Phone and just want to try one out, get the 640. It's dirt cheap in the US.

If it's the X 2014, battery life isn't the greatest. Display is yellowish even brand new and limited to 16 or 32gb mostly. 32gb is very hard to get your hands on unless you pay a premium.

Build quality is great though. And the different color backs are a nice touch, mine is the bamboo back. CPU performance is good, and if you unlock the bootloader you can get latest Marshmallow on my variants.

Be warned, it's a 2014 flagship. Software support is disappearing and dev community isn't huge.

ye it really sucks that the 5x doesnt have a sd slot but for the rest its a really good phone and has great support for updates.

also why the z5 what makes it better than one plus2 and 5x

The only phones with microsd cards are now phones with shitty custom versions of Android that don't get updated in a timely manner.

This is also my dilemma.

That's TWRP recovery yes. Your ROM won't change unless you flash a new one with a zip file

I was given a free LG G5. They sent me the gold one, which isn't my style at all, but hey. I had a Nexus 5 for years.

The battery life is already way better. LG's UI is annoying in that I cannot double-tap a notification on the lock screen and instantly be taken to that app - with knock-on the screen just turns back off, and even when disabling knock-on it doesn't work the stock Android way. Nothing happens. I just use the fingerprint scanner now.

The camera is better and it's got a bigger screen. I can't see myself ever using an SD card or replacing the battery, but I'm sure those features are nice to some. The phone is ugly. Like, really ugly. I'd rather have a Nexus 6P, but again, free.

It's not a bad phone though. Solid 7/10. Runs fast, lasts all day, big screen.

>>
>>54021905
I'd never looked before, but it seems to be a little bit to the right - like it's a tiny bit uneven. If you hold it up to the light there's a tiny sliver of a gap. It doesn't really bother me though. What bothers me is that the usb-c charging port rubs against my pinky finger sometimes when I'm typing and it's edged. Kinda scrapes sometimes.

USB-C is the truth though. Not going back to a standard USB charger after using this. Kinda makes me want a 6P even more.

I heard the story. Never even heard of a DAC before that. So it increases audio sound quality? I rarely listen to music so I don't care.

It doesn't even increase the quality.

Complete shit phone, you get an HTC for the same price with better DAC built in.
>>
>>54022196
Wouldn't you just plug in earbuds when listening to music anyway? I don't know anyone who uses a phone's speaker to play music. There's Bluetooth speakers. Or is a DAC something else? I wouldn't know. I use Android for calls, texts, emails, maps, groupme, browsing, 4chan and emulators/retro games

As far as I can tell yea im not sure why its getting so much bad rep
I have never had an LG flagship before my last highend phone was an s5
Im not happy with the removal of the appdrawer, settings menu and the fact i cant delete the facebook app that was preloaded
The dac inside sounds fine the B&O one seems like just a meme, however I would like to see other acessories including a huge battery

Im not too bothered about the metal with plastic coating but I guess some people are.

Nope. Not using edge program. The salesman just hooked me up with a good deal. Had to ship my old phone back and change my data plan (which ended up saving me money monthly and I still get the same data). Not sure what kind of magic he worked, but 175 was the single final payment after I sent back the rebate and old phone. No monthly payments.

No offense mate, but you're still paying for your phone through your contract. The monthly price might not have been affected, but you've paid the $175 upfront so the rest of the device costs are masked in your bill.

This is how carriers turn a profit on phones, along with selling data and calls/texts.

- Have Moto G 4G.
- Want to upgrade, tired of noise on the 3,5 mm jack and it's kind of slow.
- Moto G 2016 suppose to have wolfson DAC. https://motog3.com/moto-g4/
- Don't want to wait or spend money.
- Bought an used HTC M8, it look like the cheapest phone with good audio.
- It has SD support!
- Little concerned regarding HTC capabilities to handle moisture.
- If it fails the, moto g 2016 might be the rescue.

If you're in America, just give up now. The OnePlus X, despite having a specifically made version for North America, does not support full AT&T or T-Mobile frequencies. And yes, it's a big deal.

I went from an Xperia M4 Aqua to a Galaxy Grand Prime (got it for free), and I went from spotty as fuck coverage, to complete LTE coverage, barring the times when I'm in the basement of elevators of a 42 story building.

After 5.5 phablet, 1920x1080.

Wanted decent battery with fast charge, but not sure.

Dont game much, but occasional 3D game would be fun, the non-Helio octa's probs might lag a bit in newer ones.

But was looking at:

Ulefone Power
Oukitel K6000 Pro
Elephone P9000 (fast charger sold separately etc, cost adds up with all the accessories)
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

I'm using PureNexus rom and ElementalX kernel and like them both a lot.

They're also super stable, haven't had any crashes or other issues.

All that said, I just preordered an HTC 10 because the battery in my N5 is struggling, I bought it at launch 2 and a half years ago.
