Post devices that will never die.

>HTC HD2
Announced 2009, runs CM13 marshmallow, along with almost every OS

>Samsung Google Nexus S
2010, runs CM13

>Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100
2011, runs CM13 smoothly

>iPhone 4S
2011, runs iOS 9.3.1

>HP Touchpad
2011 too, runs CM13 smoothly
>>
I wonder if my note 2 on Verizon will ever get CM13
>>
>>54115744
>iPhone 4S
Preach. Feels way more solid than the 5, moreso for the 6.

Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000
It got every OS before my Note 4 did and ran smoother too thanks to no Touchjizz.
Returned the Note 4 shortly after.

man I really wish Moto kept the AMOLED. The Moto Display gesture/motion on the Moto X completely stomps on 6Ps stock Android's ambient display

Nope

Only thing I missed is the dual front facing stereo speakers
Going back to my note 2 and .2" screen display

But 5.5 vs 5.7" is a total wash
>>
>>54116196
I think some people still use it, maybe not with the marshmallow build but still. You can still get replacement batteries, cases and screen protectors for it so why not?
>>
>>54115870
It wouldn't be this way if there isn't 100000000 variants of newer samsung flagships. Seriously, fuck samsung and their shitty economics of unscale

They never made a good phone again after note 2

Every display after that was Pentile

Would rather use my note 2 on CM11 than a Note 6 or 7 on touchshit

FUCK YOU, IOS 9 FRIED MY IPHONE 4S'S WIFI ANTENNA

EVERYTHING WAS OKAY UP TO IOS 8


That being said, I am now Motorola X Play master race. 2015 phone at the same price of that old 4S now.
>>
>HTC HD2
>Announced 2009
Yes, that's a hacker device. Should be pretty cool to have one.

But, you know, it's about additional hardware. Only iPhone 4S supports BT LE, for example.
>>
>>54116196
My friend has one, it ran pretty smooth with android 5. Put a new battery in and it could be a daily driver for a normal user.
>>
>>54116520
Why can't you for example play audio over normal bluetooth? Or is it about the battery life?
>>
Found HTC HD2's at my local IT store a week ago. There were like 3 or 4 of them and all of them new in box. Should I buy one or two for 50€ a piece?
>>
>>54116385

The same reason people don't use typewriters anymore
>>
>>54117790
So you're comparing a 2009 flagship smartphone to a typewriter?

i wouldve still used my samsung s2 if it wasnt so slow, even after factory reset.

and if the white didnt turn brown after a while.
>>
LG-G2 , such a beast .

I have a 32GB touchpad that I bought for like $150 and used for like 2 weeks before putting it on a shelf and never touching it again.

Ok, now its time to flash that motherfucker straight to marshmallow.
>>
>>54115744
Oneplus one, albeit a 2014 phone, however it works on all carriers except gay ass Verizon although I could be wrong about Verizon, android n has already been ported to it, and it has decent specs even today so it should continue receiving updates at least from the community as long as the htc hd2
>>
>>54118418
No official updates Anon. Could you recommend a good ROM for it?
>>
>>54118418
That's true, it has some kind of a "cult" following. Could be supported by the community for 5-10years ahead at least.
>>

Biggest horseshit ever, i own 3 of them a fucking cm 12/loli they're struggling to run. There's no such as cm13 on nexus s, the last one from xda is 4.4/cm11 with some combined partition mod.
>>
>>54116454
>ios 9 fried the wifi antenna

Please do explain. I didn't know it was possible for updates to fuck up your wifi unless you're jailbroken, you change the mac address, then restore to a stock firmware. Even with that, you're only fucked until a new jailbreaking tool is released...
>>
>>54118541
>There's no such as cm13 on nexus s
Yes there is, by some dev named Grinberg. Or I'm not sure if it was CM-based but it was Marshmallow anyways.
>>
>>54118476
There's an official cm13 on the cyanogenmod site, the latest nightly is from today actually.
>>
Lets bump

Samsung Galaxy S7!

>>54115744
load of BS, i have a kit kat HD2, it can't do shit.

don't get me wrong the phone is perfect with windows but with android it just sucks.
every program just freezes all the time.
>>
It's fucking bullshit. Before four/quad core processors android phones were laggy garbage.

pic related, also the battery started to shit itself after 3 years so I got another one from ebay, really cheap, it's basically new again with great all day battery life.
>>
>>54119290
>>54119386
It's not BS, check youtube for proof.
Ok, the Marshmallow ROM on HD2 can't do shit, but with the 2015 Lollipop build you can actually use one as a daily driver.
>>
Moto G, been though kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow and no stopping us now
>>
>>54119666
its a really good phone satan but the scuffgate was pretty annoying but the 5s is the pinacle of apple's design philosophy, its cheap and its an amazing mid-ranger, if the 5 is perfection then the 5s is beyond it.
The note 3/s5 is the equivalent for samsung.
The lg g2 is the equivalent for lg.
The m8 is the equivalent for htc

That period of time gave birth to amazing phones
>inb4 saying the same thing about the 6 or 6s
They are small improvements full of gimicks that wont take off until devs adopt them so never.
>>
>>54120457
> 5s is beyond it
this. The A7 chip is legendary, I would say it will get updates for at least 7 years because it's so damn powerful, only now Android phones are catching up with the single core performance.
>>
>>54115744
iPod Touch from 2007, even the battery life is still pretty decent
>>
>iphone actually supporting its devices
>poordroids have to resort to third parties to keep their devices afloat
KEK
>>
>>54120634
>keep their devices afloat
barely useable, also since it's mostly plastic shit, it just falls apart after 2 years.
>>
>>54115744
>Xperia Neo
Runs CM13 pretty smoothly
>any x86 PC made after 2004
With at least 2 GB of RAM you're bound to be able to do pretty much everything with it
>>
>>54120457
>the 5s is the pinacle of apple's design philosophy
what makes you say this?
why do others say this too?
I'd really like to know
>>
The x86 platform.
>>
>>54119290
Seconding. The phone was unusable with Kitkat. It peaked at v4.2.2, although Hyperdroid (v2.3.3) was my favorite ROM on it.
>>
>>54120813
> no camera bump
> looks great
> godly build quality, little thing is a tank.
>>
>>54120858
Have you tried Lollipop on it? Surprisingly less laggy than KitKat. I fucking love my HD2, gonna get a new battery for it soon.
>>
>>
>>54120952
>little thing is a tank.
anon, i loved my 5s but their screen was too fragile.
>>
>>54115744
Pretty sure the Nexus 5 will eventually outlive all of them because you know, it actually has the specs to be actually usable. All the phones you mentioned are 'will it run' memes without people actually using them as daily drivers.
>>
>>54122223
>All the phones you mentioned are 'will it run' memes without people actually using them as daily drivers.
Two of my friends still use their S2 i9100 daily though. I wouldn't call them just memes.
>>
Galaxy s4 motherfuckers! Hard to believe this thing is old already...
>>54116293
I wish this meme would die, I'm a 5'9" manlet who hates anything 5.5"<
>>
>>54116196
God no.

I needed to use my old HD2 after my phone got wet. A modern ROM plus a single messaging app was enough to make the experience unusable.
>>
htc sensation. cm13, has been my daily phone till recently. great if you dont install google tracking services.

Yeah, catching up by cheating Geekbench scores.
SHA1 yields the most score for the least amount of transistor usage, and you bet your ass Samsung and Qualcomm are going to take advantage of this.
