More than 2 years later my Xperia Z1 finally had its back cover slowly being peeled off by the bloated battery inside

Not gonna fall for the sealed in battery meme ever again

As soon as i got my Z3, i got a hair dryer and took the back cover off. So i can take the battery out when it fucks up.

I always leave the case on so it's gr8

Redmi 3 pro, looking to buy.

Is there a list of currently released/announced SD820/823/830 phones?
>>
>>54509673
very simple, anon. Lenovo released the Vibe X2 two years ago, the first layered phone. But it was a bit ahead of its time. It was thin, it had a crap battery, a crappy SoC and their horrible version of Android. The new one should be much better. It will be the first smartphone where you can almost do a battery hot-swap. You won't ever have to touch a charger again.

It will be the phone of the year, if Motorola doesn't fuck up the marketing.

Most likely no, unless you can completely wipe off EMUI theme/skin that Huawei is keep using on their phones.

Where do you guys buy phones?

there's a number (alas, small) of people doing reviews when they get shit, either with video or just in the threads.

>>54511790
Haven't found any bugs so far. It's not really a bug, but something that's a minor (really minor) nuisance is that the pre-installed browser (it's a piece of shit that doesn't even show webpages correctly) is set as the default browser, and despite having set firefox as the default browser some apps (Telegram for example) still open links with the pre-installed browser, though not always.
And you can't uninstall it either for all that I know.

Ram management is perfectly fine for me. I don't know what people do with their phones that leads them to complain that things lag or that apps running in the background get killed. I've not experienced either so far.

Thanks in advance for advise.

Someone on /g/ once said Huawei phones come with chinese spyware is this true?

I own that thing. Screen too big, resolution too high. A 4k display is useless, it's only purpose is to drain your battery.
I wastoo on an LG G2 when I bought it, and I regret the decision.
Plus, it's curved on the backside, so you won't be able to use it on a flat surface.

Using an LG G5 now. You can't disable all the bloat, but you can hide it with a launcher. I'd really rather have a Nexus, but this phone really isn't bad. Camera is good, battery life is good (and battery is replaceable) and build quality is good. Has a mSD slot but I have no need for it. I don't like how the actual phone looks on the back, but whatever. I also find that the bottom part is a little off center.

Thanks to OP I read about the new Xperia X phones
>100% stock android
it's really close but the shit that isn't stock isn't bad, music player is decent, they are putting stamina mode and ultra stamina mode to get even more battery out of what you can already get

>5 inches
Seem that the new line is 5 inches, no compact nor huge stupid phones

>god tier battery
The Z line has already excellent battery life, I have a Z3 compact and I get almost 2 days of regular use even after it updated to Android M and lost the Stamina mode and the UltraStamina (which reboots your phone as a dumb phone and let you make phone calls and text even for a couple of days with the last 20% of battery)

>premium build
They finally gave up the glass back, it's the only complain I have with my phone.

Bonus, they still let you use a SD Card and it would be perfect if they let you remove the battery which at this point I see is the only bad thing about the sony phones.
>>
>>54511643
I don't think so, because you have X, X Performance (the best one) and the cheap XA.
I could get used to a tad bigger phone just because they finally got rid of the glass back and the X Performance actually has a metal back. I was pretty meh about the Z5 over the Z3 line but fuck me I'm liking this new line a lot. Specially because of the metal frame and the even better battery.

Just because you aren't paying for the huge markup on the design, marketing and whatever else that isn't production that is done outside of china doesn't mean that it's necessarily less good quality than what you get from western companies.

assuming you're running stock (or neat stock) android, is 1 GB enough for a casual person?

i've seen people write about how it's not enough anymore but i've seen plenty of phones with 1GB that run lollipop perfectly when they're not running some weird ass skin.

leaving your phone-enthusiast mindset aside, would you say it's enough for the avarage normie?
>>
>>54518504
absolutely, but only with AOSP/ Cyanogenmod based firmware.

It's probably worth looking into using a swap file and zram via a custom kernel. Android is pretty good at adapting to the available ram

Any downsides to picking up the 6s? I'm switching from an OPO because I find that when I have the option to fuck around with my phone (xposed, root, cm, etc.) I spend more time than makes sense, and then I end up killing my battery life and making the phone less stable. Most of the reviewers that I watch seem to like it, so I'm here to see if any of you guys know of anything I should know.

My friend wants to upgrade his Galaxy S3 Mini. He's Canadian so everything is pretty expensive.

Is a Nexus 5 still a good buy in 2016? They're going for like $120 used on Kijiji or $240 new on Amazon.

Is the HTC 10 complete shit?

My Gen 1 Moto X is still working but I really want expandable storage and a little more screen real estate. Also a better camera because I'm a pleb and the ability to root.

I hear some people rave about the 10 and others hate it though.

I'd go with the Xperia X, but it's going to be like 800$ in the us and I don't even know if it'd work with my carrier (USE VZA)

I'm undecided between the Redmi 3 and the Mi4c.

Is the battery that different between the two? And so is the performance?

Great phone, but I fucked up and got a branded version and can't root. Thing is great for my massive hands though and looks amazing. Battery is so-so, maybe 5 hours of full usage at best.

I've got a Nexus 5 that's giving up the ghost, and looking for a replacement. Student budget, so used or /csg/ most likely.

Ideally, it'd not be larger than 5", as I've got small hands. Qi charging is a must (either through a case or built in), as is a reasonable amount of 3rd party ROMs. The more battery life the better.

Do the wise (sp)/g/urus have anything to suggest? Cheers!

I'm going back and forth here guys
nexus 5x or the /csg/ approved redmi note 3 pro?
I've used chink phones with custom roms before, they aren't bad, but I really want a good camera for once on my phone
I would go with the n5x, but I'm worried about the performance issues, and also a little upset about no expandable storage, but I dealt with that with my old n5 anyway
what do, is the performance degredation on the n5x really that bad? is it better with custom roms/kernels?

AT&T locks their boot loaders. You'll need a unlocked phone from another carrier, like t-mobile or boost. Had the same idea and used a boost mobile samsung S5. running custom rom now.

Get an S4 with Cyanogenmod. That's what I did. It's better in every single way I can think of.

Looking for an entry level phone, preferably something dirt cheap that has nothing more than the capacity to browse the web, view documents, email stuff and has a long battery life.
I don't care about games, photos, streaming high resolution porn or how cool it looks, just how robust it is.
