Sony Xperia Z5 seems like the best option atm. It has everything 6P and Note 5 have, but its just better design. Maybe I'm wrong.
>>
>>54475547
Yeah, I mean when playing music/podcast or casting something there used to be a mini-player on the lock screen so you didn't need to enter said app to pause or play. Now it just isn't there half the time.

Would you recommend M8 or M8s?

It's honestly a good phone, too bad the hatewagon shat on it.

Also, Its camera shits the bed in conditions with less-than-ideal lighting.

Regular m8,

#1 rule of android: never get a "spin-off" phone if you're into custom roms. Get nexuses or mainline flagships.
>>
>>54475732
What if I want to have it stock? I feel like M8s is better because it's more fresh and up-to-date.

>Huawei Honor 7
Paid it 280€, coming from a galaxy s5 that was really starting to piss me off for how much I hated touchwiz

Pros:
>phone looks solid and build quality is really nice unlike the S5
>fingerprint sensor is rear placed and insanely fast
>UI is nice, currently on miui 4.0 (Android 6.01), they even reduced the navbar
>has an additional button you can bind to any action, you can even do different actions by double pressing, long press, single press
>RAM usage is actually really good, I never filled more than 2/3 gigs
>expandable storage

Cons:
>camera takes good detailed photos but colors are washed up
>battery life not as good as it was in 5.0
>auto brightness values are too low and I find myself using manual brightness often
>difficult to root
>no roms except for stock

Honestly it's a really good phone for the price

S7 is better. redmeme is for poorfags. MiUi is 10x more cancerous than touchwizz.

You're comparing a $700 phone with a $200 phone. If you can get the Samsung at that price, by all means go for it.

Well in that case is there any phone better than the S7/edge or verizon and even then between the regular and edge.

HTC 10 is decent alternative. edge if you prefer bigger screens, otherwise it's just a gimmick.
>>
>>54478198
Not interested in a big screen or phablet really, I just want whatever has the best battery life and has the wireless charging so I can quit breaking shitty micro usb charging ports.

The edge just seemed good since it was waterproof, had wireless charging and good battery life. Something I could put cyanogen on now or in the future would be a plus too.

So the new Android security update is out and I'm seizing the opportunity to completely wipe my phone and set it up again.

I flashed the factory image and encrypted it. Now, can I flash a custom recovery (TWRP 3.0.2 to be precise) without fucking up the encryption? Or do I flash the custom recovery (and maybe root tool) BEFORE encrypting? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Help me decide what chinkphone to get sempais. I'm torn between the redmi 3 pro or the redmi 3 note pro 16/2gb version. I can get either for about the same price. The note 3 abviously has a better screen and processor, but one gb ram less and probably a bit worse battery life. It's also slightly larger, but not overly so compared to the regular redmi. I'm mostly concerned that 2gb might not be enough, though I have to say that I'm not into mobile 3d gaming or anything. Mostly just browsing and watching vietnamese basket weaving videos. Wat do?
>>
>>54478887
R3 Is enough for casual use. only get the note if you want bigger screen and 1080p.
>>
>>54478906
Does the regular redmi 3 get about the same level of ipdate/rom support? I don't need any speshul pajeet roms, probably just going to stick to MIUI since I'm a huge casual when it comes to smartphones.

So it does have a global/eu ROM, that's nice. I tried looking over the forums but half the posts were in horrible broken english and the other half couldn't seem to agree if there was one or not. Anything specific I need to write when requesting the unlock?

So my employer is buying me a phone of my choosing for work, and I wanted to know what is recommended as far as Android goes. Right now I have a Moto X and it's alright, but the battery life is killing me. Last phone I had was an S3. Everything I read is "Galaxy S7/S7 Edge!" But I don't know how good they actually ARE.
>>
>>54479481
What for?
>>
>>54480224
Galaxy S7/E is top dog in Samsung's line-up. And probably the best out there at the moment.
>>
>>54480367
Roger that. Is the Edge "better" than the 7, or is it just the gimmicky sidebar thing?

To cut my story short, does the mozilla for firefox have some kind of pop-up/ad blocker. I'm sick of those YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN INFECTED pop ups and crap like that.

Edge is a meme, it adds mostly "dem aesthetics", but not much more. Added Edge functionality in Touchwizz allows some more multitasking, but I don't know if that is really that useful. Nevertheless, if I was getting it for free, of course I'd get Edge. It looks glorious.

Please see
>>54475376
M9 is really a fucking great phone. I'd get it nonetheless, especially considering the dropped price.

>>54480351
The root access?

Manly to use Xposed to remap some keys, uninstall all that Samsung bloatware and some IApps.
>>
>>54481002
Follow-up: will it be hard to find a case for an S7 Edge that protects it well without killing the Edge functionality? If I'm gonna slap it in a case, should I just get a regular 7?
>>
>>54480673
>If it's the 8GB version it's shit because you only have 1GB free to use
>>
>>54480673
It's good if it's free. But absolute shit if you were to pay money for it. It's premium brand phone with very low value, expect a fucking chaos in it. Heared on forums from Indians that their M4 Aquas overheat like shit (I doubt it uses Snapdragon 810). Also back and front are all made of glass that is glued to the inner frame of a phone. Constant heating up will loosen up the glue and glass probably end up falling apart which breaks easily on contact with concrete. And M4 Aqua is overall shit, M5 is better option just for a bit more shekels.
>>
>>54481054
>Will it be hard to find a case for an S7 Edge that protects it well without killing the Edge functionality?
No idea. Chinks may think of some magic and may manufacture one. Look up on Samsung's official site what they're offering as extra accessories for Edge.

>If I'm gonna slap it in a case, should I just get a regular 7?
Yes, especially if you're so paranoid of breaking your phone get basic 7, because I guess the screen replacement might be quite expensive in Edge.

Some anon said that his gf or whoever the fuck, couldn't even put screen protector because it doesnt stick to the sides.
>>

>using a cell phone
Here's your reminder that if you own a cell phone then you might as well let the government install a telescreen in your home.
>the NSA actively collects bulk metadata on cell phone connections to cell towers and stores it for months at a time in their FASCIA database, allowing them to look you up in their database and see a map of your travel habits, they also now give all other 3 letter agencies access to this data
>in all cell phones with only a couple exceptions (such as the Blackphone and Neo900) the baseband processor, which controls the cell phone's connection to the cell tower, has complete access to the phone's main CPU and RAM, allowing complete back door access to your cell phone with simple exploits which are easy for the government to develop because they can request the baseband firmware from companies for a security audit
>police departments regularly deploy stingrays for tracking cell phones and their owners

>but how do I keep in contact with people without a cell phone
Cell service providers in the US allow you to email to a phone number for SMS (just email the phone number at the service provider's address, ie [email protected] for AT&T or [email protected] for Verizon, make sure to keep your messages inside the 140/160 character limit) and text to email addresses (just enter the email address you wish to text to instead of a phone number) for no additional cost. For calling, a home phone with modern VOIP service can be had for under $10 a month if you look.

Hey Smartphonefags, I have a dilemma. My first phone was a 4s right around the time the iPhone 5 was coming out and it was free on contract. By the time I upgraded, my lock button had become stuck and it felt like it had slowed to a crawl. I also didn't have a PC at the time, so I upgraded to a Galaxy s5 for its ease of downloading, larger size, Snapchat third party apps, and better battery life. Here I am near the end of my next contract and this damn thing refuses to update and is impossible to keep clear of extra junk. On top of that, replacing the battery is just as difficult in a Galaxy now.
I also really miss iMessage because my local tower shit and I spend a lot of time in dead zones. And Facebook messager isn't super reliable.
My main question is whether the s7 or iPhone 7 is going to have the better longevity and which has improved the most over the last three or for years. Should I maybe go for the next note or the newest htc instead?
>>
>>54489620
>better longevity
you are asking the one thing literally no one can speak on, especially since one of them isn't released yet.
>>
>>54489852
Sorry, I mean just based off of how models later than the two I have experience with are aging so far, even though it might not be the best indicator of how the latest versions will age. I'm thinking about buying a used 5s or 6 to make sure I can handle going back to Apple before I drop a thousand dollars on a phone I'll probably use for several years.

It's shit. I've had one for 6 months. Battery life is average at best, it randomly gets super fucking hot with light usage (I pretty much only use the browser and messaging apps).

That being said it has a fantastic screen and build quality. Waterproof feature is fantastic. I would not recommend though.
>>
>>54491263
Also, part of the reasons I got it was for the unlockable bootloader and custom roms...
After all this time there's fuck all available. On top of that my cunting service provider still hasn't released the 6.0.1 update. Last time I buy a Sony phone and last time I get a phone on a contract.

Is the redmi note 3 pro 2gb version good enough? I was going to go with the redmi 3 pro (non-note) first because it's probably good enough for my needs, but it turns out I can get the 2gb ram note version for like 10 euro more, so now I'm finding hard to decide between the two. The 32/3gb version is like 50-60euro more, and I'm not sure I'm willing to spend that on my first chinkphone.

I'm not sure what to say, sempai. Over here I can get that version of the redmi note for 170 euro, while that version of the moto x will run me anywhere between 210 and 240.

>>54495014
according to the dimensions I've seen, the note is only like 1cm larger or something. It mostly has to do with do I want a sd616 with 3gb ram or a sd650 with 2gb ram. I've heard that MIUI can be a bit of ram hog, so I'm not sure if 2gb is enough.

Some months back I found a galaxy S5 Active, no one bothered to claim it. Now, lately everyone is pressuring me to get a smartphone, even my mom of all people, but since I don't need one or really want one I don't want to waste the money, so I'm wondering if I can use the phone I found. Thing is it has an ATT logo branded on it, so I'm not even sure if the phone is carrier locked and whether it will even work on my t-mobile service. Does anyone have any idea? Also, I can't check, the battery on the thing died months ago and I don't have an adapter to charge it and I'm not going to go buy one just to test. For all I know the thing might be broken, would explain the lack of claims, took 3hours when I found an iphone 5s.

With the 820 out, it's hard to value the 808/810 phones. Speaking for myself, I would want a significant discount for that alone. LG's pricing doesn't reflect that so I will probably go with the next wave of SD820 devices instead.

Moto X 2014 Review
>screen
The whites are white and blacks are deep and rich. Main problem is the horrid burn in after year and a half. 8/10
>build
Quality. I have the leather back. It feels good in hand, I love the curve. Good size for my hands, and the dimple makes me happy to have my forefinger resting on it. 10/10
>OS
Pretty much stock Android. The little things they have like the moto display and chop for flashlight are super useful. Twist for camera is also amazing. I love the news on the left thing, forget the name atm. Animations are smooth, phone has no lag I notice. Could use another gig of ram, but hey. 10/10
>Price
300 if I remember correctly. I fucked up and got the meme tier 16gb with no expandable storage. 9/10
>camera
Awful in low light oh god no. It really is not good. 5/10
>battery
Jesus the battery life is bad. 2300mah what we're they thinking. It's terrible. Does not last all day at all. Non replaceable. 3/10
>other complaints
Storage is super low, but that's my fault. With it had a micro SD and bigger battery, maybe dual speakers. Front facing bottom one is pretty good though, for a phone. It does get a little tinny and squeals on highs.

Overall I give it an 7/10. It's a pretty good device for the price, but the bad battery and camera and no micro sd stop a perfect score.
