I got one used for $190 in an auction, with a slightly damaged screen.
Be careful of the Verizon gsm lockout with used models though. If it's ever been on a gsm carrier, Verizon won't activate it. That's how it was last I checked, at least.

>But yes, you will find the occasional hiccups, including unresponsive typing and choppy animations
Is this common with most android phones? I'd like to avoid unresponsiveness if I can

>Also bad news is the fact that Xiaomi has started locking more bootloaders. To our dismay, the Xiaomi Redmi 3 is one of the affected handsets. This is for your security, but tinkerers can still play around if they are patient.
>Xiaomi is requiring users to apply for unlocking privileges and await an acceptance or denial response, which Xiaomi says can take up to 10 days to receive. It’s good to keep phones secure for the casual user, but we feel this process is a bit to inconvenient. And we feel that Xiaomi’s process for unlocking only invites malware to be preloaded on devices leaving China, as users will have a very tough time removing it.

what the fuck? I have to ask for their approval to unlock my phone?

My Nexus 6 just broke, I'm on Project Fi.

Should I pick up another Nexus 6 or get a 5X? I'm not trying to drop $450 on a 6P just since I don't really care about my smartphone enough to spend that much on it.

But at about $250 each for the 32GB models, I'm not sure which is better. Fingerprint reader and awesome camera vs muh big screen and muh premium build quality. Also SD805 vs SD808?

No, it follows the Note Series design (not edge screen), featuring the S-Pen.

>is the camera the same as on the S7?
The sensor will be different, we are planning to substitute the SONY_IMX260 sensor and only use Samsung sensors in the Note 6.

>can we expect a free VR headset on purchase campaign for this phone as well?
Yes and a Samsung EVO Plus Micro SD (The Micro SD depends of your carrier).

Practically every single new phones out there have their bootloaders locked for security reasons. Except the Nexus, maybe.
>>
>>54090271
1. Not a Nexus
2. Locked bootloader (NO CUSTOM ROMS)
3. No root on US version (LOCKED DOWN AGAIN)
4. Touchjizz
5. Bloatware

>>54090303
Locked by default for security yes, but you should only buy phones that have unlockable bootloaders. Unless you're content with Samsung being the actual owner of your phone, not you. Could you imagine getting a computer and not being an administrator?
>>
Will I be fine with iPhone SE? Please don't start with the discussion about Apple, just asking for this particular phone.

I will give you a $400 coupon if you get a S7 Edge.

>>54090329
Aren't there unofficial ways to unlock the bootloader for new phones anyway? The Xperia Z5's bootloader can be unlocked officially without voiding the warranty. You won't even lose the camera DRM.

If I'm looking for a flagship phone on Verizon with an OLED panel then I'm basically just looking at the Samsung Galaxy or Note, right?

What are the big distinctions between the two?

I basically only use my phone for web browsing and directions atm, but I'm dying to try out VR. Can you use your computer's GPU and just use the phone's display passively?
>>
>>54090577
Post a throwaway email and I will send you a coupon. Not sure if it I can get my employee discount to work in Costco or another website than Walmart, so you could be out of luck.

I can only get discounts in Samsung products, I don't have a lot of offers or deals.
>>
>>54090376
It can, but you will not get any custom ROMs due to the Exynos SoC used. So in any case you are stuck with touchwiz.

>>54090401
Exploits exist for getting root access, usually, but generally there already has to be a process in place to unlock the bootloader with unofficial methods.

Hey, at least they offer unlocking at all. Supposedly there is also a work around that doesnt even use the xiaomi site but I havent looked into it. Android is known to have some lag, apparently the 3gb ram version, which your review doesnt touch on avoids some of this. Watch a jewtube video if you want a better idea of whats being quoted here. If you dont want any lag go find a $200 iphone

Does Android even has those alternatives? What is the alternative to iBooks?

Hey hey, I have a question maybe you can answer.

Is the Japanese Note 6 unique in any way? I know sometimes Japanese variants have FeliCa stuff for osafu keitai.

If it isn't, does the unified model of Note 6 contain the same regulatory info worldwide?
>>
>>54091244
Apple phones are so steampunk its hilarious. Sometimes simply shaking mine and hitting it on the sides made things work.
I once dropped it in the water and the wifi anthena got fucked up so Ive read somewhere I need to put it in the fridge for 15 mins and it will work after I pull it out and it did. I dropped it like 20 times on the concrete, always ending up amazed what the fuck just happened and how it survived. 5s btw.

Kindle is different, no a lot of free content and Google Books still unavailable in my country. Also importing whatever into iBooks is easy peasy and the reader itself is great and so are fonts/resolution for reading.
Another issue is Google Store not having some wicked photo/video editing apps like Formula.

I might keep both phones and have both, although that's against my mindset. i'd usually always give my older phone to somebody who needs it because its so douchey to own two phones when you have so many siblings.

I'm in the market for a modest Android phone that's both durable and has a long battery life. I don't care about processing power a whole lot as I'm just needing it to make calls/texts, and use GPS when Im on the road, and as a mobile hotspot at various locations. Gonna be on boost mobile prepaid contract if it matters

Thinking of copping a Moto E. Good decision or nah?

I got an iPhone 5S as my first smartphone and regret it.

I've always been interested in the Note series. But why wait for the $800-900 Note 6 when I can get a 4 or Edge right now for $400ish?

What's actually going to be better about it?

I will take you up on that offer. I was considering a iPhone but if I can get a S7 Edge for that price I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Is the G5 as stupid as it seems? I really want that camera but don't want that modular garbage. Also they have a weird-ass plastic enclosure that seems like a last-minute thing.

Best I can do is offer you the ~$400 discount from above.

you can probably get a g3 for under $300

What don't you like about it? Did you buy it used? You should have gotten an SE instead.

I had a 2nd gen Moto G. It was fine. Except sometimes it lagged like crazy and the battery life was deceptively short. It's left me practically stranded on unknown locations a couple of times before because I had been using Waze for a couple of hours.
Now I appreciate bigger battery life more.
But hey, if you don't need to make tours to the hellish void of the unknowns on a frequent basis.

The camera was unmistakeably crap though, no way to defend it.

I just did the same thing, except I went out to buy a new S7.
>>
>>54092378
It's far too small and I have no interest in Apple's ecosystem (iOS, iTunes, etc). I overpaid for it new on a carrier two years ago because I was warned it was my only viable option (started a job overseas, every expat told me I needed an iPhone).

My eye (I can only see out of one) isn't great, do I've always been interested in large-screen phones. The S-pen just seems like a cool feature.

I've essentially stopped using my laptop since getting a smartphone, so now a phablet seems like an even more obvious choice.

I'm not married to the Note, but given my circumstances I haven't seen anything nearly as compelling.

If you're on Boost I would suggest checking out the ZTE Warp Elite. It's got a little more oomph than the Moto E, but expect to pay more.

That being said, if that's all you use your phone for the Moto E will be just fine. Just remember to get the 2015 version

No, I meant like...people here say the Note 5 is a very minor upgrade to the 4. If I were going to buy today, I'd take the 4 or Edge over the 5 easily.

Will the 6 be significant upgrade? I can wait for it, but is there a really standout feature? Does 6GB ram significantly improve the user experience?
>>
>>54087937
Get the 16GB moto G 3rd gen, it's 220 but it's worth it just for the software, if you're strictly on the 200 get a Zenphone laser or the 4.7" Idol 3
