Note 6 guy, are you lurking? We have more questions for you!
(Sorry don't have the general pasta)
>if you want help post your phone, mods and carrier
linking my previous post because I'm still not sure about getting a chinkphone.
>>54151983
I also read about a smartphone backed by uber a while ago, that had pretty nice specs for its price. Any news on that?
>Zuk 2 Pro
Fucking beautiful
>Change DPI
>Now everything looks less shitty and oversized
Why companies have to force a blind-people sized stock DPI?
>>54152466
I tried lowering DPI on my OPO and the icons look hideously jagged. What do? I really want to lower DPI but I can't stand the ugly icons.
>>54152490
I assume is the stock launcher, just get Nova or another one.
There's nothing to worry about unless you go full retard and try changing your DPI to 120 or something that crashes all the system apps on launch.
>>54152464
probably bends just like the mi5
>>54152529
>using brute force on something that weighs less than 200gramms
Yeah, totally unexpected that it will crack.
>>54152515
Yeah, stock launcher (running CM13). Using Nova will fix the jaggedness?
Also dumb question but does Nova (or any other launcher for that matter) drain battery? I would imagine yes but only marginally.
Through about the S6 ? planning to get one
>>54152545
most phones don't because they don't use cheap aluminum for the chassis
>>54152556
It does fix it for me.
Nova never appears on my battery info, don't worry

Ok so I was going to receive a Nexus 6P but I cancelled the order due to it being delayed yet again (have to wait at least 8 weeks).
Now I've been looking around and now I'm really confused as to what to buy (lurked around previous thread too).
The Xiaomi Mi5 looks really nice and has a god tier SD820 with 3GB RAM. I'm kinda worried about the build quality (saw the bend test) and the warranty. It is dirt cheap for what you get though (so I can kinda forgive the flimsy bend quality).
Then there is the One plus 2. Nice phone, also dirt cheap and has a SD810. No NFC (which I dont think I'll be using in the near future) and no removable SD but thats not really an issue since 64GB is more than enough for me. It does have the better warranty for me since it is sold in the EU.
All I really want is a fast phone with a good camera.
looking for a non chink phone that'll give me the best gaming performance for $200
is the moto g with 2gb ram still the go-to poorfag phone? I could get one for 170 euro.
>>54152918
That's a good deal
>>54152353
LG D851 on Fulmics, is there any rom more worth using? I prefer being able to use knock codes with the screen off
>>54152999
I don't know much about smartphones though, the one I'm using right now is ancient but it just keeps on working, even after I dropped it in water once. Would a phone with a snapdragon 410 and 2 gb be able to play 720p videos well enough? What kind of stuff can I reasonably expect a phone like this to do? I could get the moto g or the wileyfox swift for about the same price, and it seems like they've got similar specs.
>>54153083
At this point there's not really a phone over USD150 that is limited in anything other than gaming, which is shit anyway.
>>54153083
I would go for whichever has better battery life for your uses. I have the 1gb model (2gb didn't come to Sprint) and it's been really good, plays video fine. There's also the BLU Life One X that competes for the price.
>>54153083
>>54153142
Oh yeah and if you care about camera; the Moto G has a Sony IMX214 sensor which is widely used among midrange phones, and was improved with an update released for the camera app. The Wileyfox Swift has the same camera as the Redmi Note 3 Helio X10 and OPPO R7, but the Swift doesn't have phase detection autofocus.
>>54153113
When you say gaming, do you mean android games or emulating? I think if I ever do game on it the most I'll do is get a snes/mame emulator, since I've got the actual consoles for everything I went to play past that point.
>>54153142
The moto g seems to have better reviews than the wileyfox at first glance, though their batteries seem to be about the same. Looks like the BLU life one X isn't sold on amazon europe, unless it's rebranded under another name.
>>54153360
So, the moto G would be the overall better choice here, if I understand right? It's only about 10 euro more expensive than the wileyfox, so price really isn't an issue in my decision. I mean, for this price I could also import a redmi 3 pro, but I just really don't know if that's such a good idea.
>>54152353
>dont like verizon, and its a gigantic bill
>really dont like my galaxy S6
>coworker wants to buy it from me, will allow me to pay phone off and end verizon service and make a small profit.
I already bought a cheap tracphone, so I have a while to do the actual switch, get a new carrier and get a new phone etc.
I want to go to a GSM carrier where I can buy whatever phone I want, and switch whenever I feel like.
I dont game, I dont use intensive apps.
I really only use a phone for internet browsing, and for a camera.
Are there any phones out there with a camera nearly the same quality of the S6 that are decently priced?
I really dont want to have a big downgrade in camera, but I dont have the money to buy a brand new flagship outright.
Im looking towards a used phone on Swappa and shit. I dont care if its a chinkphone either. I might even consider a Windows Phone or an Iphone if there are some really great ones
>>54152918
You could look at the Zenfone 2 or G flex 2 at around 220 USD
>>54153426
Both, depending on what you do with the emulator
But I think most emulators will run on on the 410 with no issues - not positive, but pretty sure
>>54152918
>>54153504
or the Nexus 5 at around 200 USD
So what is /spg/'s opinion on the Xiaomi Mi5?
>>54152898
>phone
>gaming
>$200
>>54153504
>>54153527
g flex goes for like 270 euro and nexus 5 goes for about 310 euro over here. Prices are always different than freedom land, only rarely in my favour. Thanks for the reccomendations though.
>>54153520
Yeah, I'd assume so. You could run Mame and snes on the first gen raspberrys pretty well, so I think something like this wouldn't be a problem.
>>54153426
If you're considering the Redmi 3 Pro that's a quality alternative. The performance is over 50% better than the Moto G. If you like the aluminum feel and round build, the Redmi is a sleeker and much more premium feeling phone whereas the Moto G is more tactile. Personally I really liked the Moto G's back cover texture which is like a rubberized hard case with subtly corrugated lines for light grip. If you've never held it in person it's the same body as Moto X Play/Pure Edition. The Moto is also thicker overall in size.
Redmi has a unique Samsung Isocell that is an improvement over the Wileyfox's, and wiith updates coming to MIUI the camera app is much better now. 2.0/f, phase detection, single flash, macro capability, tap to focus vs Moto's 2.2/f, dual flash, drag to focus mechanism. Both have fast shutter speeds but I think the Redmi 3 camera is better overall.
MIUI is a good OS and if you can wait for a global rom, or flash your own custom one to get rid of some chinese-only apps (most people ignore them/put them into one folder), the chinese stable rom is good enough and it doesn't interfere at all with installing google play/services. The Redmi 3 has a really outstanding battery too. I used MIUI 7 for about five weeks and its stock apps didn't make me mad.
If you really prefer stock Android and a little bit thicker phone, decent camera, and don't mind charging daily then the Moto is good enough. You will likely get a warranty for it too.
>>54153930
Damn, the redmi 3 pro actually sounds pretty good. It's just that I'm worried about how long I'll be able to use it, since chinese electronics still have that "zero updates, break after a year, shit build quality overall and horrible UI" stigma over here that's stuck with me for some reason.
Also the fact that I'd need to find one that imports either from an eu warehouse or where the seller uses some tricky shipping method to circumvent import costs. Because if I need to pay those it'll easily add 40 to 80 euro to the price, at which point I would have been better off buying a similar phone over here, with the added benefit of having warranty.
>>54154056
Aliexpress can get it to you by DHL with no extra fees I think, a yuro in /csg/ could help confirm that, but I don't see any Redmi 3 Pro's listed yet. If it retails for $180 it will only be about $200-215 USD shipped. MIUI gets updates every week I think and the Redmi 3 has had its version updated that often according to the en.miui forums. There's a huge community for Xiaomi phones and with the SD 616 and 3gb ram the Redmi 3 would last a while.
Has anyone gotten the discount codes from the Samsung shill?
>>54154200
Did you follow his steps and respond back the same night?
>>54154272
I send him an initial email and didn't get a response back. Did you also send him an email, did you get a code?
>>54154167
is that the normal dhl option or something like:

where they use some two step shipping or whatever?
I might as wel a bit and see for how much it will retail then.
Any advice related to the lenovo vibe k5 plus, it's pretty cheap on my country.
>>54154340
I didn't realize HKGoldway had cheaper DHL, that's pretty good and they're a reputable seller for Xiaomi stuff. If you don't need a phone right this minute I would wait until either the Redmi 3 Pro becomes available on there or the Moto G4 gets officially announced. The Redmi 3 and 16gb Note 3 Pro have never gone out of stock so they shouldn't disappear.
>>54154333
I got mine, he email me yesterday the payment confirmation and the receipt
>>54154466
Well, if you're certain xiaomi stuff is good quality then I guess I might as well just wait until the redmi 3 becomes available. Any idea on when I could expect it to release?
It's not like I need a new phone right away anywho, my little samsung with it's 200 something mb ram and <1ghz single core cpu just refuses to die, not matter what happens to it.
>>54154397
Looks really good on performance and build materials, is weaker than MT6753 phones but probably better with battery life and less expensive.
>>54154646
Thanks, so, is it a good buy? currently i'm using a lumia 640.
>>54152898
PS vita
>>54154576
If you went out and picked up a Moto G3 I think you could re-sell it even after the G4 is announced, but yeah the Redmi 3 will probably more satisfying. I think the Redmi 3 Pro is delivered in May.
Is the Xiaomi Mi Note pro worth buying? It's 290 europoors in a eu warehouse right now, good deal?
How is the software on it? It seems it's still running kitkat?
>>54152898
used 5s
>>54154702
It's way better than the Lumia, it would be a good upgrade.
I don't know who the Note 6 guy is, can I get a summary of everything he's said so far? I'm planning on upgrading this summer.
>>54154754
It's overpriced compared to other Xiaomi phones.
>no microsd slot
>3090mAh battery
>>54153629
Awesome phone, with cheap build quality but fucking bargain price. A shame there is no band 20 support though.
>>54154817
Plus it ships with the 810 SoC that is known to have severe overheating problems.
>>54154721
Eh, I tend to keep my electronic stuff for a long time, so by the time I'm done with them they're worth next to nothing. I'll pick up a redmi 3 pro when it releases.
Thanks for your help, sempai.

>>54154333
It's not a coupon but an employee discount, I buy the phone and send it to you.
Some of you never replied to my mail, except for this guy >>54154468 who wanted the gold s7e
>>54154988
It will have a revised Exynos.
I'm getting 100€ off any smartphone, anywhere, to get myself a phone for work.
I'm thinking of using the money to get myself a new android media player, to replace the Moto G I currently use for that purpose.
What are some good, 100 to 300€ android phone with good audio output ?
Pretty much the only requirement is a good audio output, a decent battery, and a SD slot.
>>54155067
Hey sorry didn't want to bother you I ended up picking up a Moto G instead.. I think it was stolen from a business shipment/discount purchased or something but it was cheap.
>>54154861
>>54154988
To add to that:
>removable battery (sounds too good to be true, right?)
>preorder campaign with free VR headset + SDcard

Don't worry, I'm glad that you got a nice price on your phone, hope that I can help you next time if you are still around.

No, I haven't seen the render in another website so i'm pretty sure they don't know yet.
I'm still looking for the back and the SPen render.

I see a lot of discussion going on about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
It looks like a great fucking phone but I also read horrorstories about the locked bootloader and ROM. I live in The Netherlands, if I buy a Redmi Note 3 from Honorbuy will I be fucked in some way?
What exactly is wrong with the default ROM? I don't care about dutch language (my english is fine) but I do want a dutch spelling check, that should be possible right?
Anything I should be wary of? I'm thinking of buying it since it looks better than the Oneplus X (or even the 2 for that matter).

I really do no give a shit about phones - but it is time for an upgrade. My current phone is a 4s which I have had for about 3 years give or take.[Stole it from my Aunt.] Anyone have any recommendations? I want to be cheap. I live in California and my wireless cellphone carrier provider is T-Mobile.
Help me find a smartphone that is: A. Not Apple, B. Less than $300, C. Fast, D. Android.
>>54155524

I hope it will be at least the same what the S7 Edge has (3600mAh), it does have bigger screen after all.
Is touchjizz that bad or it's just a meme?
>>54155525
we don't give advice to thieving niggers. get a real job faggot
>>54155516
There's nothing wrong with the rom it comes with. Geez, you don't have to take everything /g/ says seriously.
>>54155525
Give it back, Lebron.
>>54155548
It can go up to 3600mAh. To be honest I'm not sure.
The revised Exynos is more battery-friendly now.
>>54155524
What are the buttons on the left? Two are obviously volume rockers, is the third a silent mode/DND switch like on the iPhone? Where is the power button? Is it just not in the render?
>>54155565
It's not just /g/.
But anyway, How easy is it to install the play store on it? Since it doesn't come installed standard.
>>54155516
Note 3 has global roms, and if you want there's the Snapdragon 650 version with 3gb ram/32gb rom, 16MP camera, and SD slot (Helio X10 Note 3 doesn't).
The rom that comes shipped will have all languages but it won't be an official Xiaomi rom, it won't receive OTA updates. What you do is flash it via fastboot without unlocking the bootloader with program called MiFlash.

Is cyanogenmod the best custom rom? is xda the only place to get roms?
I just want to update my s3 that got stuck on 4.4. There are a few other roms available but they seem weird.
What are your thoughts on the Zenfone 2. I'm looking at getting this or the OPX.
>>54155839
oh shit this. i really want a zen but i do not think they will work for lte tmo usa... i am too lazy to read the specs and information on it though
>>54155833
Xda is probably the best place to find roms. Cyanogenmod is the most common, but certain devices may have roms specifically tailored towards them. I'd take a look at what roms are available for your phone and what features they have
>>54155872
Is ressurection remix good? All the others seem to be half assed ports (besides CM)

>>54155627
>The rom that comes shipped will have all languages but it won't be an official Xiaomi rom, it won't receive OTA updates.
Stop talking out of your arse. If he buys from Honorbuy, it will come with the official global ROM flashed with OTA updates and all.
>>54156069
>Stop talking out of your arse.
>Can't read
>>54156069
Oh ok, I haven't seen anyone post their miui versions from Honorbuy, but that's exactly what you get when you order from Gearbest and Aliexpress. You shouldn't trust any Xiaomi that isn't wrapped in factory plastic.
>>54156063
>Flip cover? Also cyanongemod has a rom for it. Like for $50 extra I can get this over the OPX.
The Asus flip cover has a circular hole which allows to check mail/message/missed call notification without opening the cover, and no custom ROM support that.
Is there anyway problem with exynos cpus I should know?
What's the difference between the snapdragon 820 and 823 that got mentioned before?
>>54156144
can't I just download the flipcover and install it?
also do I need to buy a case for that? because
>buying a $200 phone
>$5 dollar case
>mfw
>>54156187
Nah, the application won't install over a custom ROM.
And you need a cover which has a working magnet to detect it's closed.
But it's quite an useless honestly, you don't really need it. It's only nice if you use a case.
How do I keep Poweramp from playing videos?
>>54156169
The best processor on the market right now is an Exynos. They're great if you don't go older than the S5 (S4 exynos sucked). It's just that they're locked down so developement is limited, that's why many don't like them.
No one knows the difference between 820 and 823, the rumors about 823 started going around a week ago or so. I suspect it'll be just an upgrade, like the 805 was to the 801.
>>54156236
Can I use a magnet?
>>54156258
I dunno.
But hey, it's pretty much useless, you're not really missing out.

Honestly the One Plus X is almost ideal but the battery sucks and the specs are outdated. Is there anything else I'm missing? Is there really no phone thats around 5 inches, has a solid build, stock or nearly stock android, minimal design with little branding, amoled screen and a flagship leading camera? I might just have to wait until apple finally uses amoled next year.
>>54156643
Not only is Touchwiz extremely light on the S7, there's a Good Lock app that replaces systemUI with even more stock Android.
Don't really care about USBC cause fast wireless charging, and the branding is far less gaudy than anything Apple makes.
This should probably go in /sqt/
But do the glass tempered screen protectors actually help to protect the screen from cracking when you drop it?
>>54152898

Yes. It takes the impact rather than your screen. It's thick enough for that.

They're not a meme
>>54157230
Do you seriously think a shitty generic glass will protect your phone?
I suppose Samsung should make more money and sell those magic protectors for hundreds.

>>54157381
Good goy
:^)
>>54157381
I'd be more concerned getting dust and little shits off the screen before applying, the glass is pretty stiff so bubbles aren't really a problem.
Oh and also it really depends on what tempered glass protectors you buy. Spigen has really fancy ones that have oil and water resistance but I don't know how well those really work, they're fucking expensive as well. Get one with good reviews and you can't go wrong.
So I'm really looking forward to using the HTC 10 to listen to music, does anyone know if the built in DAC and headphone are actually quality? Does it make a difference in the sound compared to any other smartphone or is it just a meme?
>>54157320
iOS.
>>54157473
You're probably too poor to afford headphones that make a difference.
>>54152572
Is this the pinnacle of Japanese drama?
>>54157476
I'd rather keep Clover, thank you.
That and SD storage + apps like poweramp. I don't have a huge library of music compared to streaming but thinking I will soon. Plus the HTC 10 has that DAC.
>>54157487
I'm not rich but I have some Sony over ears that I think are pretty good. They're the MDR7506.
>>5415235
Fuck off consumerist cunnnnnnt
>>54157487
They come packaged with decent ones apparently.
That and eventually you will have a decent pair, just the phone waiting for a proper set to plug in.
>>54157487
Also you didn't answer the fucking question.

Interested in buying the ht6, but I'm worried about quality. Will it last me one year at least?
Asked in previous thread but got me response.
Also is the warranty worth it for $6 extra?

Is better for that price
Is the HTC 10s "hi-fi sound" even noticeable if I stream music instead of download it?
>>54158364
Depends. Personally I've found google play music to be much better than spotify with both on high quality.
>>54158364
fucking normie
>>54158426
Cry about it
>>54158386
Thanks, I use Google play so hopefully I can actually hear a difference from my g4 right now.
>>54158454
When it comes to DAC's for me it's not so much if I can always hear it but its more of a peace of mind thing. I wont have to worry about that occasional moment where screen activity comes through as buzzing or any kind of interference.

Now do I install the glass protector on top of the plastic screen sticker protector? (I have to install both myself).

Are you mentally retarded?
In the market for a new phone since I have to switch carriers. What's a good for phone for around 200
>>54155558
It used to be awful. I gather it's still bad but you can shut down most of it, so it's less of a deal breaker now.
where can i find framerate tests for different phones? Is there a "digital foundry" type website or youtube channel for smartphone performance?
Two battery / longevity related questions
1. Is it ok to leave a phone charging overnight? Does it still lower battery capacity?
2. How often should you completely shut your phone off, and for how long?
I try to shut it down for at least an hour or two every few days, but I use it very often do it isn't consistent.
>>54158842
LG G3, Moto G 3rd gen 16gb, Galaxy J5
Is the OnePlus X worth getting? It works with my provider.
>>54159222
Good SoC, cameras, check out reviews for battery life since it's 2,500mah. Otherwise it looks decent.
>>54159180
>1. Is it ok to leave a phone charging overnight? Does it still lower battery capacity?
Now with Marshmallow and doze you will only lose like 2% of your battery overnight but that would count as a cycle and that may damage your battery life in the long run. I could be wrong though.
>2. How often should you completely shut your phone off, and for how long?
Restarting your phone weekly is something manufacturers usually suggest not completely shutting it down. I have no idea why would you do that.
>>54159488
>No idea why you would do that
Because I was always advised to shut my computer down at least once a week, instead of just sleeping it all the time. A smartphone is essentially a computer, so it seemed logical to me.
Does anyone know updates on whether or not you can still get a free HTC 10 with vive?
>>54160066
I turn my phone and computer off when I go to bed. no reason to use the extra power if I'm sleeping
im thinking about buying an iphone 5s... its only 200 on ebay. is it still worth it? would the battery still be good three years later? should i just buy an SE?
>>54159222
i liked mine. but i dropped it and the lcd broke. was amazing cause the digitzer and tempered glass were fine. from a pretty small drop too.
>>54160938
why even post that on /g/ there's some other alternative phones
>>54152464
is the zuk 1 legit? It satisfies 90% of my needs that I've been unable to find in any other phone. Aside from the no 4G LTE support in the USA, it looks too good to be true; like I'll get it and have the thing combust or break in some shitty way.
>>54154840
>$400
>bargain
I feel like that's way too much money to spend on a chink phone that may or may not break out of nowhere with no support
>>54161458
Redmi Note 3 Pro has 4G LTE in the U.S. iirc, same battery size, faster process and gpu.

From my research, the RN3 only has one of those things, two if you include the XiaoMi community
>>54161624
It only doesnt have USB type meme.
>>54161647
God tier battery life? I've only seen people report average results i.e. 4-5 hours SOT. That's not exactly what I'd consider "god tier". I'm super picky with battery life. I'm currently on an iPhone 6 Plus, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible to not be disappointed with the battery life of any android phone I get without resorting to massive 9000mah battery cases for a select number of phones.
>>54161647
>meme
I don't feel like typing out a long rant, but just know that micro USB is and always has been fucking terrible.
>>54161585
kek go on craigslist and try to find a real G4 box to put it inside
>>54161679
And you don't know what the Zuk offers since you're asking if it's legit.
Maybe you should get the Ulefone Power, Oukitel K6000 Pro or the Oukitel K6000 Premium.
>>54161707
lol she will get mad, she's still mad that I made her abort last month
>>54161760
I was just going off of reviews, but I'd at least heard a lot about the redmi series on here and other sites. I literally just found out about the zuk.
>>54161762
I mean still get a replacement too, but that G4 box tho
>>54161818
idk, she has no humor sense.
she can't have babies anymore so she hates her life.
I should get her a rose gold iPhone and call it a day
>>54159174
pls respond
>>54161760
Also, it's kind of gotten to the point with me where a reversible charger (USB c) is non-negotiable, which has made things a lot harder. I'll probably have to settle with something eventually.
My company requires me to get an Android smartphone (company policy). I plan to get the smallest, cheapest and most basic device available. What would you recommend? I've been looking at Sony Xperia E1 and Huawei Y360. Sony is using Android 4.4, is that a big problem?

You know I have this great idea for micro usb; why don't they put an led in/near the charging port that only turns on when the screen is off and pressing the volume down button or something at the same time.

Is it just me or is the moto G underpowered compared to similarly priced phones? Are we just paying for the brand?
So I'm unsure wether I want to pull the trigger on a Redmi note 3 pro or mi5. How is the software? Will I run into annoying shit and left with no updates?
Considering a oneplus 2 or going with a SD820 phone when they come out.
>>54162905
Brand. It's a budget phone you know had decent QC compared to chunk shit.
I love mine desu. Water resistance, crazy battery life, ability to unlock bootloader. What more do you need?

It seems to run games a lot better than the Blu Life One X despite the lower specs. and the camera is better too, but it's $70 more. Looks much sturdier too for some reason
>Benson actually explained this issue in detail back in November of last year, citing the USB Type-C specification, which forbids proprietary charging methods from changing Vbus above 5V. And you guessed it, this is exactly how Qualcomm's QuickCharge 3.0 works: it can charge intermittently at 9V and 12V to achieve faster charging rates.
>Try to charge phone in wallsocket
>It just says "Charging slowly" on lockscreen and indeed, charges very slowly
How can I fix this? Why does it happen?
>>54162905
honestly with its specs I think so, but I only paid $99 for the 8gb model so it doesn't bother me. it's unfairly overpriced but only because there isn't a direct competitor; the body design and water-proof feature make it unique. the battery and camera only put it at or slightly greater than other mid-range offerings for the time.
16gb should have retailed for $175 not $200+ it's kind of bullshit.

>>54163584
amperage is too low, what charger are you using?

Btw, has anyone gotten the LTE app to work with mi5?
I know they got it working with the Redmi Note 3 Pro so you can get 4G LTE in the US with that phone.. donno about mi5 tho.

>>54154861

>>54163584
read the wattage and amperage and voltage on your plug
>>54163643
I'm not familiar with it, is it one of those universal ones with an adaptable prong section? if so unscrew/take it apart and re-assemble.
>>54162917
Miui gets updates weekly and since those are new and high end phones they'll be updated for a while.
Looking for a good upgrade from my moto g, happy with the phone except it could use more ram
>>54159192
The g2 is arguably better than the g3. The s5 is probably the worst upgrade from its predecessor, better off with a note 3
