Hey lads has anyone used or heard from anyone who has used a Kogan Agora 6?
i broke my phone (samsung j1, was really shit) and need to buy something under $200 if anyone has any recommendations id love to hear them
Is blackberry q10 still usable
>>54341000
>under $200
Zenfone 2 and flash CM13 Nightlies, seriously best decision I've made
>>54341002
I doubt any Blackberry is usable.
Is gud phone 9/10
>>54341000
boost s4 on amazon is like $180
Moto x 1st gen vs moto G 3rd gen .. 150$ budget which would /g/ recommend
>>54341219
Moto G, there isn't much difference in performance, better camera, same amount of memory (if you get 2GB model), and microSD slot, only pro for 1G Moto X is more onboard storage
>>54341161
More like $160, but Boost sucks
Looking for:
- $200-$400 pricepoint
- Android Support for at least 2-3 more years
- Able to handle multitasking (ie play music and browse Chrome simultaneously. Nothing intense.)
- Social Media Apps don't have much lag issues (IG, Snapchat, FB, etc)
- Video Streaming on WiFi is not an issue (YouTube, Netflix)
- Battery can last at least a day with average use
*Important to know:
- I am a basic phone user and don't play any mobile games but use it for the above reasons + tasking apps (ie Calendar, Google Keep, etc)
- I only have a 1GB Fido Month-to-Month data plan. So you can tell that I don't go on LTE often.
Any recommendations are welcomed
Reasons why I want to rid of my 5x (Other than money reasons):
- Camera is a real problem. Especially with Snapchat in mind, the camera will stop working when in-app and I cannot use the stock camera nor Snapchat until I do a full reset.
- Lag occurs after only 200 hours of uptime and just gets worse and worse as I hit 500 - 600 (I started the 5x as a 'new phone' and greenify constantly). My Nexus 5 never had this problem.
- Although USB-C is excellent, phone's battery only lives up to half of the day.
>>54341261
Moto X Pure Edition
>>54340968
>and other with 6GB
What the fuck?
Unlocked LG G4 here, best fucking smartphone ever taking the best fucking pics with a smartphone ever.
It's like the competition isn't even trying.
Is this thing legit? (pic related)
What are the chances of completely bricking my device?
>>54341260
Depends on coverage. I have boost and lte is 6-8mbps everywhere in my city which is pretty decent desu.
>>54341145
second this
although it only became usable after the Marshmallow beta, which has shit battery life
Micro phone review:
>Ulefone Paris
>Phone with this name released a few days before the Paris Attacks
>Great aesthetics, the call speaker isn't aligned with the sensors though so muh OCD
>Minimal present bloatware is removable
>OTA UPDATES(!!!!)
>Buttons slowly start getting less and less responsive every time I press them.
>I'm feeling a strong 6 on this one.
>>54341407
Boost sucks because Sprint sucks, they've apparently been "upgrading" the service around my city for 4 fucking years and it's only marginally gotten better, my gf can't use her Volt 2 in our apartment
That's why I ditched Sprint and got Straight Talk AT&T SIM
>>54341472
ymmv but good for you man. I would ditch boost too if speeds and coverage was shot in my area. Everything is okay for now at least.
>>54341393
>1393
if it is an old android then is viable
if not root is most of the time through custom recovery flashing
Thinking of purchasing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
>Screen size is big so it's a plus
>Camera seems good enough for IG, Snapchat
>Hardware seems pretty decent with 3gb ram, octa core
>Aluminum design for muh aesthetics
>Cyanogenmod or another custom rom avaiable so bloatware/miui won't be a problem
>Price is good for me
>4000mah battery for a blackberry battery duration experience
Is there something i'm missing? It just seems like a pretty good deal to let it pass, even more now than my Moto G is ded
>>54341605
Are they using Snapdragons now? Are they picking up NA FDD LTE Bands yet?
>>54341657
There's a Snapdragon 650 version. As LTE bands related, i have to look up for my country as i live in Argentina
>>54341605
>wifi issues
>doesnt work well in North America
>problem with play store
>problem with google apps
Thats what youre missing
>>54341772
is this due to the stock rom or inherent to the phone itself? What kind of issues does wifi have? That might be a dealbreaker as i use mostly wifi over 3g/4g
Any one got any thoughts on the nexus 6p?
>>54341834
>no microsd slot
>spontaneously exploding back glass
>literally more fragile than an iphone 6 plus
It's a meme covered in memes
>>54341858
Any recommendations for something with similar performance and price?
>>54341745
Read a review of the SD650 version, only picks up Band 4 for LTE
No 17, no way
what do I use to sync my thunederbird mail and calendar to my android phone, but wait for it .... fram a linux PC
>>54341869
Note 4 definitely.
>inb4 le touchjizz XD
just install nova launcher or some other 3rd party launcher.
>Dat 6GB RAM
>Boner.jpg
Why did Cyanogen have to be fucking idiots?
>>54341805
I've got one and haven't had any of these problems, I'm in Europe though.
>>54341957
You do realize samsung integrates touchjizz into more than just the launcher. Not saying its a bad phone because of it but you are still stuck with the shitty samshit notification bar and settings menu.
>OPO
bretty good, although sometimes not as fluid as I would like and the camera is pretty bad
also manlet hands dont do well with the big ass screen, cant use it one handed for some things but that isn't too bad
Moto G2 is still fine.
What's a decent recent phone around or less than 600 aud price range. I was looking at a 6p but as said above they have a randomly exploding back visor. Any thoughts?
>>54342420
Why not a Oneplus 2. Same SoC, more storage for less money, more durable. Only thing that is worse is probably the camera but its not a big difference.
>>54341320
G4 bro here too
Both cameras are amazing. Applel and Samshit btfo
I love my Nexus 5x except for two things:
>Snapchat, one of my fav apps, can get slow as fuck at odd times
>Phone heats up really bad
I assume my snapchat issue is unfixable, but what about my heating issue? Is it its version of Snapdragon? What longterm or short term issues will happen if it keeps heating up? Ive only had this since Feb.
>>54341834
I just got mine from and I would say it's pretty good definitely the most satisfied I've been with a phone, however I would agree with what that one guy was saying about it being fragile. I'm very paranoid about dropping it and scratching the back visor deal. One thing you could do is get one of the live cases though and those seem pretty neat from what I've read.
My Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime is coming in a few days, so what should I do with it?
Like should I (try to) install the global rom, or do something else, like see if there's a decent cyanogen mod// stock android?
Is there a brand of case that's good for the phone other than generic case that comes from china in a months time?
I have a moto /g/ 1st gen but am looking to upgrade budget is around 300 euro shall i wait for the one plus 3?
>>54342924
Nah m8, get Zenfone 2
>>54343016
Why zenfone what is so good about it and how is it better than one plus
>>54343082
Cheaper than one plus
Specs very similar
Can take 128GB microSD
4GB RAM
64 bit SoC
5.5" 1080P screen
It's also got plenty of support on XDA, I'm on CM 13 Nightlies and it works VERY well, beat phone I've ever had
>>54343082
>pare
What are, besides software (touchwiz), some real flaws of Galaxy S5?
I have a chance of getting it for almost free, I'd flash CM on it, but I wonder if there are any issues with that phone. I don't mind plastic build, and I like the fact that it's waterproof, also SD 801 is still very good SoC.
>>54342924
>>54343016
No not by an 18 month old phone with an awful camera, screen with shitty colour reproduction and a dead SoC.
>>54343124
Which SKU do you have the top or bottom one and is there a big difference?
I have an S7 G930F (Exynos variant)
And holy shit fuck you Samsung for making it nearly impossible to get something like CyanogenMod or any AOSP ROM on the thing.
I know Touchjizz is less worse then it used to be on MM but FUCK it's still awful.
>>54343196
>18 month old
You mean 14 months, right? Who gives a shit when there are people still using G2s and they're almost 3 fucking years old
>awful camera
Not the best, not the worst, worried about exceptional quality? Get a DSLR
>Dead SoC
Just because they discontinued work on mobile Atoms doesn't mean the one in ZF2s are shit
>>54343197
I have the 4GB 64GB Z3580 ZE551ML, I got mine off Swappa for cheap, but if I was you I'd get the second because the difference in performance is negligible from what I've heard/read, but why are they so expensive?
>>54343178
Lagging issues
>>54343396
But it's because of touchwiz, why would it lag on CM? It's SD 801, not 808 or 810.
Will Android N's release for the 5x fix its heat issues?
Other than Snapchat, that's the only problem I have with the damn phone. Everything else is p much flawless.
>>54341805
Yuropoor with Note 3 here as well, haven't experienced any wi-fi issues at all. The phone did have serious problems with USB connection to my PC and delay in Viber/Snapchat messages, but official update (MIUI 7.2something) solved them all.
>>54342888
Flash any version of the official global stable rom via Miflash program and accept any OTA updates the phone will asked for. You can do this without unlocking the bootloader and currently it's the best option. I've heard AOSP doesn't work nearly as good and CM13 is still in development for this model. As for the case, personally I use the thin transparent rubber one I got with it, my experiences with the free cases chinks pack with their phones is they can withstand pretty much everything and keep the phone safe.
What keyboard are you guys using? I'm looking to replace the default LG keyboard? My only requirement is being able to turn off auto correction.
I got an iphone 4 as a gift and it's really showing it's age now. I've had it for years and am ready to upgrade, but I don't know anything about phones.
I don't want to spend a fortune, don't care about cameras and don't use many apps at all.
I have no preference for ios or android. I've never used an android device so I can't say if I would like it more or less. I definitely would like more customization, and the ability to play emulators.
I use my phone for texting and shit posting / browsing. I use straight talk as it's enexpensive and I don't have to worry about data caps and other fees
Can anyone help me at narrowing down good phone choices for me?
>6gb of ram
>this will be the standard in 2017
>in 2020 we'll have phones with 10gb of ram because android keeps getting bigger and bigger with each updates
Does anyone have an LG Wine Smart or LG Ice Cream Smart? How is it?
Is it a meme phone or actually usable?
>>54341320
Have you rooted yours? I've been looking for guides everywhere but none of them seem to work on marshmallow. I'm on T mobile though.
>>54342546
>>54343952
Meant to ask you this too.
>>54343886
May as well get a Blackberry
Nexus 5 battery is dying. How to find a legit one for sale? They all seem to be fake as fuck.
>>54344072
A nexus 5? I have one working fine. 200$ CAD
>>54344232
Congrats you just learned why insurance is a scam
>>54340968
>6GB of ram
why would you ever need this much on a phone though?
>>54344293
You don't, but OnePlus is crazy enough to make those numbers bigger and bigger with each model. I doubt it even improve overall performance, but hey, you have higher numbers than your buddy with S7.
>>54341407
>6-8mbps
Ha, I've been getting like 20mbps with Metro, dawg.
>>54344320
well woopdie-fucking-doo, bigger numbers. It's like I am playing WoW all over again
>>54342238
Is touchwiz possible to remove?

>>54344853
I suggest that too.
>>54344962
No shit, it's a cheap LG
>>54341261
Fido dropped the prices for the LG G4 recently. I got mine recently with the soon to be dropped Fido dollars I had.
Cost me <$200CAD and I got to keep my $30 standard plan
>>54342304
>not as fluid as I'd like
What ROM m8. Get a caf based one for unparalleled smoothness. Flashing a kernel for more control is another option/bonus.
Sultan cm13 with lightening kernel 34r if you want something decent.
>average 5-6hrs sot with plenty of LTE and Bluetooth use, location always on
>fast as fooooook, even when underclocked
>snapdragon camera included if you like it
>regular updates, based on stable branch
>dat customization
Its gud, I'd recommend it since it trashes all my friends phones old and new. Daily tasks are a joy to run through, it doesn't feel 2yrs old.
>>54343423
801 is solid as fuck, I can push mine to 2.9ghz and it doesn't care. Also still benchmarks like a champ, and performs consistently making it arguably better than the 810 since its actually reliable.
>>54344437
Only if you root your phone and flash Cyanogen. Which I dont recommend doing since it voids your warranty and potentially bricks your phone
http://www.techrez.com/microsoft-surface-phone-specs/
Surface phone will be next revolution as was first iphone.
>>54344973
Wasn't the OnePlus 2 one of the only phones that could tame the 810 somewhat? In general it wasn't exactly as spectacular as the OPO, but still a solid phone...
>>54345328
Only because they underclocked it by 200mhz. The 810 was literally the worst thing Qualcomm ever produced
>>54345249
>muh unreliable sd 810
I'm so tired of morons parroting the same bullshit over and over. Unless you have a first gen 810 (lg flex 2, experia z4) performance is just really good.
>>54345328
Some opo users said it's true. Besides that some other anons said there are newer versions that doesn't have the overheating problem. But check sources yourself could be shills.
>>54345383
Performance is good, but it's not reliable. Bearing in mind some solutions to its problems (ie latter generations) were underclocking and phase change liquid cooling. Its a bit of a disaster when you go to such extremes to resolve excessive thermal throttling.
That being said, when its not on fire it performs pretty well, blatantly more efficiently than the 801 albeit not quite the most remarkable upgrade anyway.
>>54345395
>>54345370
yeah I know it wasn't fully troublefree, but >>54344973 sounded to me as if the OP2 was the only phone having the problem, but it was a 810 problem in general. fucking idiots trying to jump on the 64bit hype train and releasing the worst product possible...
>>54345480
Yeah exactly. Also people tend to forget that the SD801 had overheating issues as well. Especially during video recording.
It's kinda shamefull that so much misinformation is being spread here. I would advise people to wait for the SD820 since it destroys the 810 but the 810 is still very capable and not half as bad as people make it out to be.
I'd still choose an 810 over an 808, 616 or mediatek (even though they are all very respectable in their own class) any day. Just don't get any of the release phones like the M9.
>>54345043
Moto G rapes it for the price
Yo, what are some good phones that come with a stylus that isn't the Samsung Note series?
>>54345277
>8gb of ram
All that ram and 0 apps. GG Microsoft
>>54343082
that's like 5euros
>>54345569
You mean the 4k video recording issues right?
That plagued some phones, afaik it varied from 5mins to 30mins, while others coped just fine albeit running damn hot. Think I remember reading that the z3 shut down after 5mins but the z3c kept recording for like 25mins and I never understood why.
Problem with the 810 was/is that it will overheat or throttle hard with many different tasks if you push it. The 801, despite fugging with 4k, had plenty of room to deal with anything else. There's the difference, not many people will record 4k for very long (muh space lol) but considerably more will play heavy games or benchmark their phones.
820 looks good, its a home grown design so I'd expect it to be solid with Qualcomm's experience.
>kryo cores
Wonder how this name came about..
>>54345644
Totally agree, she had the Moto G before the Volt 2 and even she thought it wasn't really an upgrade, except for the mSD, LTE, and bigger screen
>>54345713
True, the 3rd gen is like $20-60 more than the Volt 2 usually.
I thinking buying z3 compact but it's locked to vodaphone UK, is it easy to unlock the phone myself or do i have to pay shekels? (im tight)
What's the best android phone i can buy with good money right now?
>>54345779

>>54345739
The 3rd gen is available on Boost? I thought it was only on Virgin?
>>54345779
Moto X Pure
>>54345705
Early benchmarks (from Xiaomi mi5) look amazing (especially the new Adreno) . I'm not sure how legit they are but we will find out soon enough I guess when more Phones with the SD820 launch.
>>54345794
They dropped the m
iPhone 6 plus 64GB. Feels great not being a Pajeet.
>>54345277
wow, I would buy it but it's gonna cost as much as a house.
>>54345864

Ohh you're right! I just picked up a virgin one and put that shit on ringplus. RIP cheap prepaid brand new in box phones.

>>54345816
i'll check them out desu senpai thanks
>>54345885
I'm sure they do, but why does it have to be Black?
>>54345920
Because jewish cocks are too small
>>54345908
Yeah, if the 3rd gen was on Boost I would have definitely gotten it for her
>>54345760
anybody?
>>54345940
>these prices
>>54345982
They're fucking retarded, it's why i got my ZF2, if I'm gonna be spending around $200 I might as well get the best value

>>54341034
This, although just be aware that CM13 is super hit and miss. For me it constantly killed battery and made me have to restart my phone once a day. Whereas superZen (debloated, stock based ROM) works amazing for me
>>54346522
yeah i noticed that aswell, hmm...
What's the best way to hide pictures/videos on my android?
>>54346551
in a folder
>>54346551
By not storing them you pedophile.
Just add a file called.nomediain the folder theyre in. Most galleries/apps wont pick it up then.
>>54346642
Putting a . infront of the folder name also hides it from file managers, so you need to turn show hidden folders on to see it.
>>54340968
Interesting, but I'm very happy with my OnePlus One. Don't need a upgrade anytime soon as CM13 (not COS, fuck that shit) is quite good with Boeffla. No stability issues, good battery, extremely good performance for being soon two year old phone.
Seems like the phone market is reaching the same point normal desktops are today soon enough. Where computers from 2011 are still perfectly viable and upgrading is a waste of money.
>>54346547
Is superZEN on Marshmallow?
>>54346551
There's an app, I think it's Hide it Pro, it'll create a hidden folder and access it for you and the only way you can access it is through the app, even has different false faces for the app
>>54344870
Stock. Battery is pretty much the only downside of the G4
>>54346419
Why would you not?

Moto X or Moto /g/.
Also, Snapchat's CEO basically said "fuck Android", so don't expect a decent Snapchat experience on anything but iOS. Facebook also sucks (and has sucked since forever).
>>54346803
Biometric info goes to the cloud
Gubbermint now has muh fingaprint
>>54346808
well part is eg. camera handling... on iOS you kinda get ready made classes/libraries for face recognition etc. while android has a rather primitive camera implementation. i guess they could build such a thing themselves, but money is money
I just switched to the brand new Google Keyboard because there is a big update today and wanted to try it out.
I cant figure out what one of the gestures/options is.
When you long press the enter button, it comes up with a sub menu with 3 shortcuts.
Emoji and One Handed mode are easy.
What is the shortcut that looks like -->|
It hides the keyboard in a web browser, but does not hide the keyboard in an SMS app.
It doesnt send like enter would.
The documentation for their keyboard doesnt say
>>54346827
so what?
Does anyone know if there is a way to root a Marshmallow H815 G4?
>>54346855
Government isn't supposed to have your fingerprints on file unless you're under arrest
>>54346839
I think part of it is that the Camera2 API isn't supported on all devices so devs are hesitant to support it. Camera2 has much lower level access, supports RAW images, etc.
>>54346855
>willingly giving your biometric data to the government

IT'S NONE OF THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS
That's fine, go right ahead and be as much of a government stooge as you want, just understand that there alot of people out there that aren't criminals and they aren't doing anything illegal that actually care about privacy, there is just too much info sharing in the world today

yes you probably are clean, but not everyone is and the government can't magically predict threats, by having info of everyone they can trace criminals even before they do something, so it's makes the world safer at the cost of disrespecting your privacy which does nothing beyond hurting your feelings

I have to assume he's a teacher. All teachers go through background checks. I was fingerprinted for a background check when I applied for a teaching position.
Need advice for new phone. Willing to spend up to $600. It will take me a hot minute to save up by until I have the money I need to do research and decide

That makes sense, he didn't clarify if he was a teacher or student or whatever
>>54347087

They only have my fingerprint from some shit I did when I was alot younger, otherwise they don't have my DNA, or retinal data
>>54346973
Don't know where he's from, but in the UK most schools use fingerprints for lunch money accounts.
>>54347062
>I'm a big boy who needs no supervision
The original OnePlus One was great because it was Nexus like in terms of update speed, openness and compatibility, added Cyanogen, and had top hardware for its time for a low price. Sadly since then they shit it up badly.
I hope the Three is again flagship and doesn't cheap out on anything like they did last with wireless charging and NFC. If they get that right, giving up on Cyanogen for their shitty OS isn't worth it . They need to make it open and Nexus like, at least.

Not a teacher, we used our fingerprint for school lunches for checking out books in the library and that sort of shit. Also for anything that you paid the school directly for, like picking up a Year Book
We also had ID cards, but nobody bothered to carry them around.

How bout lenovo K3, or infocus M560. vernee Thor?

I wanted the g5 too, but considering I don't care about the wide lens camera or any of the modules, I'm just gonna wait for the G4 to drop in price. That'll happen soon, right?

Battery is not amazing, but it's certainly an improvement from the 2013 X, which was struggling to carry me through a day. This is able to get me through my day with 50% left (usually ~3 hrs OST). It also heats up far less than my 2013 X.
I thought I would instantly regret this for the large screen. However, it really is nice. (cont)

I make a lot fewer typing errors with the larger screen. I have noticed I read a lot more ebooks/comics and watch more on Plex/Netflix because the screen is so nice. I don't feel comfortable one-handing it, but not one-handing at all times isn't as much of a deal-breaker as I once thought it would be.
I would love to see a 5.2" version of this, or at least one I can use with one hand without worrying I might drop it.
I have not yet dropped it so I cannot attest to durability.
Overall, I think this will last me 2 years, assuming I don't drop it. I don't think I will (it feels slippery yet grippy enough that I feel somewhat confident in it, hard to describe).
Great radios, they actually get a signal in my basement (albiet weak).
8/10, more OEMs need to take a note
Reposting from previous thread, need a good camera, good specs and no need to replace it soon, looking at the z3+, oneplus2 and 5x.
>>54347881
Yes, just look up "snapchat sucks android" and you will get lots of evidence that the iOS version is the only thing they actually care about.
well /g/, I have an Iphone 4, I've had it for the past 6 years since it was released and I was in high school, and I've finally had enough of this shit, I don't use my phone terribly often so it hasn't been an issue but I need a new phone, I'd rather not spend more than $200 right now, but I can also just wait say 6 months and buy one for significantly more. What would you recommend? I'm on T-mobile right now if that matters.
Using my S4 since launch. Running CM13 and going strong since. Ask me anything.

I have private photo vault, works good and even lets you use fingerprint unlock if your device supports it, if you have a launcher installed you could change the icon too like I did so it's hidden in plain sight
>>54348961
Everything.
>>54347903
That last thing I heard is that they may drop Oxygen and go with something else. Although we may get 3.0 in a few months... Who knows, oneplus does whatever they want.

Why can't I buy a Moto X Pure in Canada? Why do the jews do this to me?
Just got a Z3 compact from HK from eBay. Brand new in box, so far happy with it. Speedy, great display and size is perfect. Big phones suck for me to carry in the summer, always working outside so it's nice to have a small phone.
In the winter I carry a Motor X 2014.
How's the DAC on the S7 Exynos? Better/worse than the HTC 10?

My friend and his bitch bought a g4. Its their 4th time going to the service center to get the phone fixed.
What's a good carrier (north east usa) that can beat virgin mobile? I currently pay $35/ mo prepaid. Unlimited texts, LTE coverage is decent since it's sprint based. The big downside is you can only buy their SIM-locked phones. I.e I wanted a 2gb Moto G and had to buy the 1gb ram one because virgin doesn't offer the better model. I can live with like 40 or 45/month but not any higher really.
>>54350090
What's the issue? Software? Hardware?
>>54350095
Either Cricket or Straight Talk, look into them because they're GSM networks and use AT&T's network
>bought a like new G4 for $200, with extra cases and glass SP
Feels good
>SN starts with 505
Oh fug
>>54350138
>oh fug
What does 505 denote on the serial number?
>>54350169
G4 models with the 505 and 506 serial numbers have had manufacturing issues where the MB craps out. Iirc it denotes the mfg date (5/15)
>>54349222
>it's the barbell app
>>54350095
you can't find a 2gb Moto G 3 with the bands for Sprint, they only exclusively have the 1gb version.
Still waiting on battery life tests, but I'm most likely going to order the k6000 pro soon.
What does /spg/ think of this Chinese phone? Looks pretty good imo compared to aus phones.
If battery life is buy up to par with my expectations though I'll most likely fall back to the redmi 3 pro
>>54350104
Unresponsive screen. Random restarts, a lot of restarts that made them go to the service center. And now, no display but the phone turns on.
To be fair tho, the lg staff told them the 1st batch of g4 has shit units
So I fucked up today. I had an LG G3 and it was great. But I had an upgrade from my carrier so I got the G5. Little did i know it was absolute dog shit. Is there any way I can change the phone to act like the G3?
>>54340968
>>Post a mini-review of your phone
Droid turbo 2
It should be so much better than it is. Marshmallow introduced a storage glitch that causes my phone to bug out whenever I try to view some folders in my gallery app. 32gb storage, 24gb user accessible. It would be 10/10 if root was possible, but because root isn't an option at the moment, i have to say I wish I would have gone for the LG G4. I really like the cameras and the assurance that my screen will not break.
>>Discuss upcoming and current models
I'm really interested in seeing if Motorola puts a Snapdragon 650 in a moto /g/ variant. I hope google changes their release pattern.
>>Ask for help related to phones/tablets
are there any good tablets? I don't want to buy one from 2013. I'd like to stay below $300. I don't plan on storing much at all on the tablet, so sd card slot is optional. I've looked at the ipad minis and the google nexus 9. The google nexus 9 looks like a really good deal. Is it bad?

>>54341605
>Is there something i'm missing?
It's chink, the only other thing it's that Xiaomi's lack Gorrilla Glass or anything similar, so you need to add some screen protector
Also, get the Note 3 Pro, it's way better than the Note 3
Any 3rd party launcher that has hard key configuration? I have tried Nova, Apex and few more but none of them has such option.
>>54346397
Literally paid 500 Canadia dollars for this shit and I'm pretty happy too. Conversion to US I would've saved 200$ but fuck i needed my phone.

Should've mentioned what I'm aiming to play (and having issues with on my S4)
Fate/GO turns my phone into an easy-bake oven, and Granblue Fantasy just plays hilariously slow. Dream Girlfriend has animation issues. Crusaders' Quest stutters from time to time.

Moving to Germany, need to replace my old GS3 because it can't into GSM. Haven't upgraded for years because I didn't need to, now I don't know if I should just get a good phone or try to future proof.
Looking at moto x style/pure vs 5x right now.
-Are there any benefits (file transfer speed etc) to usb-c right now? I want it in general since I keep phones forever but it seems a bit premature.
-Is project fi a thing in europe? Coming from a 10 year Verizon contract, kinda lost here.
-at what point is pixel density actual noticeable if I'm not gaming?
-estimated time until moto x gets marshmallow?
-estimated time until lenovo ruins Motorola?

I still use it and it's a good phone. I don't notice any Lagg and it's getting marshmallow so should get a good upgrade for battery performance. Biggest down side for me is the plastic build.
>>54352027
anyone?
or maybe apps that allows you to manage hardware keys without rooting your phone?
>>54343886
You have to think about screen/phone size.
It will be the deciding factor for further narrowing down.
