Hell yeah! Aqua M4 here
Tell me why I shouldn't buy a used G3 in perfect condition for $200, and what I should get instead.

It seems like you've already made up your mind about what to buy.

Thinking of getting an Xperia Z5 compact for my small hands.
>>54440925
Pretty much, I'm just looking for reasons not to pull the trigger. I've heard things about the G3 overheating, but not sure how common or important that is.
>>54440870
So, are your palms burnt yet?
My nexus 6 seems like it gets unreasonably hot while charging. Is that normal? It charges to full super fucking fast so that may have something to do with it.
Really underwhelmed by my 5x. How much less should I put it on eBay if I bought the phone for $499 CAD. 32GB version.
>>54440996
What's underwhelming about it? You did know it was the "budget" nexus going in right? Of course it isn't going to be as good as the 6 or 6p.
>>54440954
I've never had problems with mine. Only complaint is the headphone jack picks up wiggling as media controls. Just disable it with wizdroid.
>>54440978
Yeah, pretty normal. If you use the super-fast charger, it will get hot.
Damn, the smartphone market is underwhelming. My z3 compact is crapping out on me so I was pretty excited seeing what's available now. But it's all either $900 or too big or shit battery.
>>54441509
Fuck flagships, bro. The last couple of years have put out some really nice devices, there is no need to buy brand new models.
>>54440841
FUCK YEAH OUKITEL
One can only wonder how absolutely shit an actual Chinese manufacturer treats it's workers. At least with foreign outsourcing there's probably some semblance of oversight.

>>54441549
Any suggestions?
I've been looking at the z5 compact. But coming from a z3 compact it just seems like a boring upgrade. I also don't want to deal with Sony's crap quality again. The obvious choice seem to be the 5x but I'm unsure about the size and battery-life.
>>54441882
Because they're human and I'm not a self centered asshole?
Nexus 6P, it's aiiiiight. Makes me feel like I'm from a Chinese cartoon though . 8/10

>>54442007
I got mine for 600 used, Im Auz fag though so everything is more expensive. It's nice, I actually tried the bending thing and didn't budge, it's a pretty solid build (as far as Ching shit goes) and vanilla Android is nice and flexible, buy one if you have big hands are OK with a hefty phone.
>>54442051

You can just stop really. You've went above and beyond in proving your lack of conversational worthiness.

How do you guys manage to apply a screen protector successfully without having to try 3/4 times (throwing away a film after each failed try) and without dust getting between protector and screen? Every time I tried, after wiping the hell off the screen with a dust-free cloth, I had to try 2/3 times because dust is just always there. That's why I never buy a tempred grass, I just now that I'd just risk the money it's worth.

I'm this guy (>>54442247).
But I don't even know what apps I really need. Yeah, their app store is like 1/100000 of Play Market, but I don't use much custom apps. Clover (default browser isn't that handy compared to Clover and I get often crashes with it), AIMP (default music player is shit and really lacks various options and functions), MX Player (more advanced than default), ES File Explorer (because default one crashes all the time I enter any folder, factory reset did nothing). I hardly play any games.
I feel like getting a Galaxy S7 to replace my G3. G3 is just too big and the buttons are in the wrong place, especially when driving

Good -
Nice screen, meme pen can be useful, decent battery, can be had new or used for <$200. Lots of accessories, won't send your private info to china. Great performance for price and age.

Just bought an LG G3 for $200. Is there any reason NOT to put Cyanogenmod 13 on it?
I need help.
Mi 4i or Moto X (2014) ?
Alright folks, which one and why?

Relatively new model
8/10 design and solid build quality
Superior sAMOLED Full HD display (5.2inches)
Gorilla Glass 4 on front and back
Fingerprint scanner
13Mpx primary camera with IOS
Quick charging ability
Very durable 2900mah battery (91h endurance rating)

Lightweight (142g)
- Meh stuff
Only 5.0 inches and screen-to-body ratio is only 66% (A5 - 72%)
Screen is not sAMOLED
Back is not scratch resistant
Lollipop only atm, with ability to upgrade to 5.1 (not planned to marshmallow atm)
No OIS in camera
Photocamera maybe a bit overexposing, but generally better than A5
No WIFI "ac" standard
No fingerprint
Only 2600mAh battery which is shit
No quickcharge
No fingerprint
>Xperia Z3
- The cool stuff
9/10 sleek design and (probably) solid build
Water and dust proof
5.2 inches screen with great screen-to-body ratio (70%)
Scratch resistant glass (not Gorilla Glass?)

- The bad stuff
Old 2014 model (biggest problem here)
Back is not scratch resistant
Screen is not sAMOLED

M5 being the cheapest, while A5 being the most expensive.
>>54443793
M5, the Z3 is so much more fragile.
>>54443836
But muh thin bezels of Z3 :(
>>54443887
Why people give a shit bezels, I'll never know.
>>54443909
Compare those two and you'll see that those with thinner bezels look bigger (illusionally), much more premium and not so bulky. Another question, does OIS really help?

Does the Note 5 have a laminated display? Or is that just an iPhone thing?
Familias, I've lost my phone. I can't locate it with google device manager, but I've heard you can locate it with the IMEI number, which I have.
How do?
Has anybody owned both Iphone 6 and 6S? Is the latter actually better?
>>54444163
have you tried:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY2-mrsXgMM
all i care about is great battery life, great camera, and band 12 support on t-mobile. What should I get, or wait? Currently using an N5.
>>54444317
At least wait until I/O to see if Google announces a new nexus
>>54443434
Bumping this.
>>54443966
OIS only helps in darker environments. Doesn't really correct movement that much because of how little space there is in phones.
Bezel sizes seem to only look good in promotional images, Sony phones even in the lower end already look more premium than most other phones out there.
>>54444195
A lot better, the RAM increase really makes a difference. The 6 with 1GB RAM can barely hold 3 browser tabs and most apps will need to restart since they're kicked off memory, while the 6s can keep a lot more things in the background.
>>54444317
iPhone SE
>>54444802
Hmm, what about slow-downs? Will it remain fluid even with internal storage full/almost full?
>>54444846
Oh, and also battery life concerns me.
>>54444846
>>54444874
Very little difference in battery life both the 6 & 6s has poor battery life. If you want good battery life, spring for the Plus models.
Also there's no difference in UI fluidity, both the 6 & 6s runs at the same smoothness, with stutters in the exact same areas, because Apple can't optimize their OS for shit.

Let's see the average battery wear of iPhones.
I wanted a cheap phone with good specs and I bought a xiaomi mi4
It's better than I thought, the camera is good, miui is very smooth, the only bad thing is that it lacks a micro sd slot
Why does my phone lose WiFi after a few minutes when turning of the screen? Happened when I updated to MM. WiFi Idle is turned off.
>>54445003
Implying phonearena is reliable, since I want to be able to use the phone with a single hand, seems like 6S is the right choice here.

/g/, does OP2 use actual type-C usb or just a microUSB disguised with type-C port?
>>54445684
Did you swap out the battery? Because that's really good if it's still the original battery.
The battery controller doesn't reset the cycle count when the battery is swapped over.
>>54445747
No, not at all. I didn't know you could replace iPhone batteries. Do I take it to one of those sketchy "phone repair" shops that seemed to have sprung up in the past few years?
Even though it might say that I feel like the battery is maybe a little over half as good as it use to be.
>>54445165
Please help, during work I miss a lot of emails and notifications.
>>54440996

The problem with the 5x is that it feels utterly similar to the 5.
Battery is better, and camera is great, but performance wise, I don't see a damn difference.
>>54442646
>what is double tap the drop down to turn off
>>54445792
You can, just be careful when opening up the phone
I replaced the battery in my iphone 5 and have absolutely no reason to upgrade.
>>54445849
What phone? I heard Sony (might be mistaken) models turn off WiFi by itself when screen is off to save battery.
>>54446018
I got a 6s plus for the Ds-like screen but unfortunately there aren't as many games that utilize it as much as I'd like. If I had known I could replace it myself I wouldn't have upgraded either. This 5s is basically an iPod at this point
>>54440841
Is there a way to optimize an Android phone?
Mine keeps crashing: shows me the wrong time and can't open apps.
This shit happens once in a week / two weeks.
Is there a way to fix this?
Maybe it's because I keep it on constantly (yeah, I'm not a teenager anymore, so I don't even know if it's ok or not to keep your phone always on).

>>54440934
Still using it with 6.0.1
I would have probably been disappointed had I paid $400+ for my 5x, but at $250 for the 32GB model I'm pretty damn happy with it. I love the build quality. Camera is fantastic. Performance is relatively smooth, but there is the occasional app freeze that requires reset that's really frustrating. The worst thing is the God awful battery life. I get 4 hours SOT.
Wheb can we expect a breakthrough in smartphone battery life?

Any good apps I can use to do this, or should I grab the SDK and throw something together myself? The apps I've seen just turn the screen on or off without locking it.

Is it just draining super fast with no wakelocks?

I charged my phone fully. Didn't use it for a day with it turned off. Turn it back on to see shit battery.
I want to sell my Nexus 5x bc of money.
Any phone that is cheaper than the $450CAD 5x price tag that is better or similar in performance?
(all I ever do is WiFi music+youtube and use normie social apps ie Snapchat)

It's just old and shitty, that's all. my N5 used to average around 90 min SOT until it croaked a few months ago. never buying Nexii again.
>Post a mini-review of your phone
I currently have a Nexus 6P. I love the device but it can be a little bit hard to operate one handed, and I have pretty large hands.
The camera is pretty good, I only wish I got the 128gig version or an S7. I miss having an SD card slot. The lack of an SD card slot really pisses me off with this nice of a smartphone.
The speaker quality is loud and clear. Headphone fidelity is pretty good as well, I normally use a pair of ATH-M50's with it.
Overall rating 8.7/10, would purchase again.
As an addendum, I wish the fingerprint scanner acted as a second home button. That would easily propel the phone to a 9.3/10.
>Discuss upcoming and current models
Kind of excited that HTC is making the next nexus, but I'm keeping this 6P until it breaks.
Might switch to an S7/S8 maybe.

Wtf. My Nexus 5 gets 4.5 hours SoT still. Almost got 5 hours today.
>>54456246
Try using it normally.
>>54457114
Certainly not the best, but it's not shit and it's definitely not 90 minutes.
>>54456697
Redmi 3 should be around 180CAD, or redmi 3 pro which should be around 220CAD.
Not better, but should be on par in performance thanks to the 5x having performance issues.
You definitely won't notice any lag
>>54456955
yeah it's called flyme or some shit
Droid Turbo
It's much much better than my previous Droid X2, which was absolute hell, hated every time I had to use it, slow as fuck, crashed constantly
they fixed those things on the turbo
Camera is pretty shit, battery lasts a long ass time, runs emulators well

I dropped my OnePlus One on the carpet face down because I'm a fucking retarded and was angry because it rebooted on me with out a warning. The lower screen is a bit separated from the phone.
Hey, /spg/. I ordered a vernee thor on friday, but it turns out they'll only be able to send it from hong kong sometime in the first week of june. I liked the specs and the fact that it came with stock android, but I'm not sure if I want to wait that long. Are there any other budget smartphones you'd recommend instead? Around 160-200 euro at most.
>>54443793
Somebody else, please?
>>54460341
Stop wasting so much money and buy this.

>Stop wasting so much money
How am I wasting money? That oukitel doesn't look all that impressive spec wise. Also, I thought oukitel was one of the brands to stay away from?
>>54460447
> brand to stay away from
You're thinking of doogee
And those specs are enough, alternatively you could get the redmi 3?
>>54460463
How about the rom on the oukitel?
Also, the redmi 3 is like 20-50 euro more expensive than the vernee, depending on the version. Isn't that wasting money as well then?
Been using an honor 5x since around launch. Meets my expectations and all BUT this phone has the weakest vibration I've ever seen in a phone. I have to check every 15-30 minutes to see if I got a text, message or notification. I heard there was an app for increasing the vibration and customizing it. Thing is, it needs root. I haven't messed with rooting, customer roms and kernels since the HTC Evo 3d/nexus days.
Everything about the phone works well. Cameras ok, display is nice, battery is great etc etc. This is my normie review of the phone. It had the specs I wanted and it werks. It honestly does not feel like a 200 dollar, it feels more premium. Full Metal body while nice makes the phone slippery as fuck so I recommend a case. Sometimes I feel like this ipaky case defines this phone. Feels much better with it on than off.
>>54460480
For $10 more you get a device that won't break after a year, has a monstrous battery, far more efficient SoC, and years of updates.
Vernee hasn't shipped a single phone yet, they are not a reputable brand.
>>54460579
True. The two reviews I saw looked very promising though, but I guess I can't really depend on those alone.
That's the price for the regular redmi 3 with 2 gb ram, and not the 3gb ram version, right? Didn't the non-note redmi 3 also have much worse rom/update support, or am I misinformed?
Morning guys.
S3 user here, I replaced my power button once 2 years ago and I think I need to replace it soon, best phone yet.
Will continue to use it for at least 2 or 4 more years.
Just sharing this with you, later bros
>>54460644
>That's the price for the regular redmi 3 with 2 gb ram
correct. the 3 Pro is $157.
>Didn't the non-note redmi 3 also have much worse rom/update support, or am I misinformed?
You can still flash various ROM's on it, and I don't expect the Vernee to have much more ROM support considering it has Mediatek SoC.
>>54460644
On the other hand, the Vernee Apollo Lite looks promising for the price. but still vaporware, need to wait and see if it lives up to the hype and if Vernee could be trusted.
>>54460707
Now you're making me doubt if I should just order another phone, sempai. Vernee was going to publish the kernel or something along those lines once the phone came out. Does that count for anything at all?
Also, is 2gb ram enough? I was under the impression the MIUI is a bit of ram hog. Also, is 2gb enough in general? I'm sorry for all these questions, I'm not really into smartphones.
>>54460480
Oukitel make good roms. Not bloated, very slim.
http://www.neowin.net/news/review-oukitels-k4000-goes-pro-with-improved-specs-and-4600mah-battery
Personally I think unless you want to play games like asphalt, the k4000 pro will be plenty. Also good battery life.
>>54460761
Well, gonna have to wait and see if they hold to their promises.
MiUi is quite RAM heavy, it's true. 3GB is better if you can afford it.
>>54460808
Well shit, now I'm really considering getting gearbest to cancel my order and getting a redmi 3 instead. Know of any good places to get one with an eu warehouse? Gearbest doesn't seem to have them in their eu warehouse in stock at the moment.
Hey /spg/, is there a good recent-ish phone with NFC support for <600$? Support for external storage would be neat, but NFC is more important.

Get the Redmi Note 3 Pro anon, it's alot better and has a SD chip which means you'll get updates for more than a month and it's got an actual FHD screen (1080p) and 3GB of RAM with a decent 32GB of internal storage + MicroSD, all backed by a great 4000+ Mah battery, what more do you need?
>>54461038
>what more do you need?
Money.
>>54461038
guy with the vernee order here. I'm coming from a samsung galaxy gio here, which is tiny compared to even a 5" screen redmi 3. I was actually looking at the redmi 3 pro, which also has 3gb ram and is a lot cheaper than the note. Can't seem to find it in an eu warehouse yet though.
I'm not a power user at all, so I'm not sure I should pay 50-60 euro extra to get the note.

Hey guys, I just got waterdamage on my G2 from sweating too much during training for a half-marathon
I'm looking for a new phone around the €200 range, I still have a contract running so I just want a new phone. The old one still works for now (I'm afraid to turn it on again), I want to save that for festivals and other shit where it might get broken or lost.
Thanks in advance
>>54461548
I mean the redmi 3 pro though. Since people here advised me against buying a vernee. Thanks anyway though, might keep it as a backup choice in case I go for the vernee thor after all.

What is the best firmware for an Xperia Z3 compact in terms of battery life?
I plan on upgrading my Xperia V and my main concerns are getting rid of jewgle shit to increase battery life.
>>54461797
That's pretty much the best at this price. make sure you get the Pro version with the SD650 and not Mediatek.
In terms of phones what's better?
I've heard
rooted andriod > jailbroke iOS > iOS > andriod
How true is this? Thinking about switching to an iPhone 6 plus but don't want to regret my decision is jailbreaking it isn't as useful as it used to be
Vernee thor doesn't have notification led
Most phones that I had that had an inbuilt flashlight application often gave a warning that prolonged use might shorten battery life etc. My new phone didn't have one so I grabbed the first one I saw on the play store.
Is there a recommended flashlight application, or are the differences negligible?
Some help regarding OTA updates.
I'm on a lenovo phablet (With no CM support fml) that has released a couple build updates from what I have, yet if I try a system update it tells me I'm already on the latest version. I assume this is lenovo being lazy fucks and not releasing it on my region.
Is there a way to force it?
Is the LG G5 any good? I was going to buy an HTC 10 but then I realized it doesn't have a replaceable battery which activated my autism so I looked to the G5 because it has extremely similar specs to the HTC 10 but actually has a replaceable battery.

>Sony Xperia XA
Shitty 720p screen, no Gorilla Glass, max. 4 fingers at the same time on screen, lacks Triluminos or other meme technology, no dual-band WiFi, only 2GBs of RAM, crappy 16GB internal memory, only 3 sensors (no fingerprint!), laughing 2300mAh battery.
>300 euros
Hmm, might spend a bit more to get some actual stuff not this crap filled phone with 2-hour battery. Sooo, what Sony offers else on its Xperia line-up? Oh, a Xperia X. Let's take a look.
>Sony Xperia X
Basically - Z5, but with smaller 5" screen and even shittier battery being 2600mAh (what a fucking joke - that's flagship by the way). Hmm, me liking this. And price?
>Expected 600 (six-fucking-hundred) euros
You've got to be shitting me Sony. Also, what magic they use to create batteries, so they think they'll be so durable at low capacity? Anyway, no mid-range phone AGAIN, it's either some shit or overpriced "flagship".
>>54465531
The x even has a mediocre cpu for that price. you pay for the brand in that case..
>>54465562
But holy shit THAT much for a brand? They went absolutely insane and jew.
>>54465580
well, you could also get the xperia performance, that one comes with the sd820 but I guess it'll cost around 700 bucks.
>Literally zero Nexus rumors
>only 2 weeks away from Google I/O
>not using an old Xperia Play running 6.0.1. as a dedicated mp3 player
>>54465685
I still hope that they announce a sub 5 inch nexus device.
>>54465615
Only thing keeping me from getting an Xperia X Performance is the absolutely hideous brushed metal finish on the back.
Who the fuck thought that looked cool in 2016?
