First for S7
Second for oneplus one
what is the least jewish phone on the market
>>54912007
Japanese phones.
Jews fear the Samurai.
Does signal affect standby battery that much? Draining like 1% an hour on my S7, half that with AOD off, and I'm always at like 3 bars.
Huawei probably didn't actually confirm a new nexus
http://www.xda-developers.com/hold-your-horses-huawei-nexus-rumors-may-have-been-misinterpreted/
>>54912037
Yes but only if your signal is really bad, like 0-1 bars constantly.
>>54912037
Yes there run some Google services only while having a connection.
>>54912037
Yes, if your phone constantly keeps looking for signal it drains the battery quite fast.
>>54911945
wait, huawei is making 6p again?!?!
awesome
It was either the 5x or the G4, stock android sold me though
>>54912203
Cancel it and get one sold/dispatched by Amazon. Their 30 days no questions return policy is worth it.
>>54912228
This honestly
>>54912203
2gb ram sd 808 the g4 at leadt has 3gb with a bigger battery that can be replaced with zerolemon or less bulky/heavy extended batteries and a option to plug in more storage.
>>54912045
This would be great news.
I need more phones in rose meme gold!
>>54912379
This meme must end asap
>>54912228
Its covered with the same 30 day return
>>54912305
a replaceable larger battery is nice, but again, I prefer stock android given the choice. The other specs and SD card slot mean nothing to me.I don't care about
Just got the Verizon S5 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. Any custom roms y'all would recommend? Haven't used one in years.
>>54912617
If you go through a seller it's not as easy as if amazon themselves shipped it out. You normally have to pay the return postage and wait for the seller to check it and authorise the refund. Amazon just refund you instantly and send you a postage label so you can return it anytime in the next 30 days. Really useful when you just want to try out a few phones and not worry about being without a device for a few days.
>>54912379
What is the benefit of having an Xperia? From what I've seen they're just overpriced.
>>54912673
They've been shit since the Z3.
>>54912617
Stock android is a meme now. It gives you no benefits except faster updates. Most oems bloat got far reduced and the g4 has official cm builds.
What's my best bet for a no-cloud phone?
No I don't want to sync my contacts.
No I don't want to always be able to find my phone via GPS.
No I don't need your online backup service, my good old HDD holds up fine.
No I don't want to receive my notifications on my PC.
Google's Accounts service irks me as well.
Most likely a custom ROM for some droid, what's out there? Maybe there's a wholly differebt alternative?
>>54912687
The new Xperia X series seems seriously bad for the prices. What are they playing at?
Any AOSP based rom as long as you don't flash gapps.
>>54912709
G4 also has bootloop lottery.
>>54912745
Not anymore as far as I know.
Hi /g/.
I need some advice/have some questions about the Xiaomi mi5 and/or Xiaomi phones in general.
I'm buying a new phone for my birthday.
If there are any Xiaomi owners here, how long do they last? Since there is no warranty (from what i've read) I need it to last for a while.
What the fuck do i do if it breaks?
Can you replace the glass on it or do i need to send it all the way to India?
Is anything replaceable at all?
ty
>>54912773
Depends:
>>54897469
Pre-ordering One plus 3 6gb version
>>54912668
I've never had problems ordering things online so It doesn't bother me, if anything does happen it will be a surprise to me.
>>54912709
>hurr durr x is a meme now use cm
No, I want a phone that will satisfy my simple needs at a reasonable price, I don't want to fuck around with chinkshit or third party roms
>>54912808
Good goy
>>54912789
>how long do they last?
Just like any other phone. 3-4 years if taken good care of.
>What the fuck do i do if it breaks?
Take it to a repair shop or send it back if you have warranty.
>Can you replace the glass on it or do i need to send it all the way to India?
Yes, and it's China, not India.
>Is anything replaceable at all?
Yes.
That being said, don't get the Mi5. it's too fragile and not cost effective. RN3P is the best bang for the buck if your'e going Xiaomi.
Thought on the Zuk Z2?
what phone does trump use? i want to be like the absolute madman
>>54912741
I actually have experience with this and it was very painful. Although yes, I was fully left to my own devices (heh), I couldn't use any apps that would let me communicate with friends or colleagues. Running them in sandbox would be still great, but many APKs depends on what I assume are GAPPS libraries or some shit
>>54912870
He uses a phone made in China whether he likes it or not.

Make sure to check http://willmyphonework.net/ first, it lacks some US bands.
>>54912966
That sounds awesome. Hope they get out of Alpha soon
>>54912965
Go for Redmi Note 3 PRO btw, just saying.

That phone is $369 after a gift card, should I? Was originally going to get moto x pure or wait to see this month's releases, but now...
>>54913169
HTC 10
>>54912990
>>54913061
Will do.
Also, I'm planning on buying it from gearbest.com with expedited shipping. Any thoughts on that?
Checked on willmyphonework, pic related.
IS 4G just a no-no or?
Im fine with 3G desu.
No leads on decent VZ 6.0.1 Marshmallow custom roms for S5? This bloat is killing my batto.

Yes or no, what say you?
Im thinking of rooting my g4 to get around my carriers wifi hotspot subscription. Is there a significant chance theyll catch me? And is it difficult to root? Ive never done it before.
>>54913355
Yay. It's not really old and for $370 there's absolutely nothing close to it.
>>54912844
No expendable storage, non-removable battery,
bland design, expect black borders around the screen (or buy the black one),
screen is only 5" which might put some people off.
But other than that, really good, especially if it's cheap to get oversea.
>>54913327
Thanks. I'll check that out aswell, that 15-45 days shipping hurts a bit tho.
I just want a 4" phone. Why do I have to settle for Apple
>>54913488
unless you're trump you should be able to handle a 5" screen just fine with one hand. why do you need a 4"?
>>54913488
Because you're a living, breathing meme.
>>54913256
It'll work, just some places where the unsupported band is the -only- band available you'll drop back down to HSPDA+ or whatever which is still like 20mbit/s.
You won't notice anything other than you have an awesome phone that was only about $200. I've had mine for a couple months now and it's great.
Only things the RN3P really skimps on are the rear camera and rear speaker. Rear speaker sounds like shit and isn't really loud coming from my HTC One M7, but viper4android actually makes it louder and sound pretty nice. Front camera actually seems to do really good... makes me look much prettier than I am.
>>54913445
It would take just as much time with Gearbest. in fact, might be longer, since they are known to mark items in stock when they're not, and then your order status is stuck on "processing" for weeks until they actually get the item restocked.
visit /csg/ if you don't believe me.
Since Ali is just collection of shops, you'd rather go with HK Goldway - good verified seller, and it's still cheaper than GB.

>>54913445
if you order express shipping through DHL You'll probably get charged import fees depending on your country. I got jew'd out of $30 by DHL for shipping my RN3P fast, if I waited 1 month or so I would have saved $30.
>>54913507
I can manage 5", but 4" is much more comfortable. Insert penis.
I don't need a big screen on my phone in the first place. I only need to quickly reach any part of my screen. Which is super easy on a smaller phone, but I have to change my grip to pull down the notifications bar on a Z3C
My mom needs a better, newer phone. Shes on a nexus 4 now. Any suggestions?

>literally no good android phone
seems like iphone is the logical conclusion
Assuming they are the same price, which phone would you buy: moto x style/play or Nexus 6p?
>>54913215
For $369 there's no reason not to get it. Definitely better than the x pure.
>>54911945
What do you guys think about the ZTE Axon (The older one and not the Pro)? It's 200 bucks for the 32 gig version.

>3000mAh
>decent camera
>metal
should i buy or wait for moto g4?
>inb4 poorfag
>>54914341
Nexus 6P.
Better Battery, CPU, OLED Display, RAM speed and Nexus bonus.
Nevertheless the Moto X is pretty good, has the better rear-camera, and if you like IPS better, it should do just as well.
>>54914512
My only grievance is that the 6p doesn't have an sd card slot, but all the other advantages it has combined with he lowered price... probably gonna get the 6p, maybe I'll just suck it up and pay the extra $50 for the 64gb version, which would cost $420 I think?
>>54914379
same question
When do you think smartphone will be able to record at 4k 60fps without burning like lava
>>54914562
doesn't it cost $420 for the 32gb?
Best phone games I can get into for a few hours? I'm going on a road trip and sitting there for 15 hours doesn't seem appealing

>>54914764
3000mAh non-removable battery on a 5,7" screen, hmm... price?
>>54914814
supposedly 499 for the 64gb/4gb model.
>>54914562
I keep most stuff in the cloud and use an ipod for music, thats why I wouldnt mind the missing sd slot.
If nothing else you can also go by the look, 6Ps pretty unconventional, but i like it.
>>54914719
Phone games are all pretty shit once you get older than 12 years old.
Download some books and read those instead. I just went on a 12 hour road trip to Chicago and I just read the entire time.
>>54914657
Another 2 years probably
>>54914341
Get the 6p. I have the Moto X Pure and although the Moto features are honestly great, Motorola has gone to shit after being sold to Lenovo. The 6p also has better hardware and a finger print sensor.
If they're the same price then there is no reason to get the Moto X. I only got my Pure over the 6P because it was like $200 cheaper.
got a 32bg nexus 6p off ebay for $410 about two days ago, it'll get here on tuesday
i got a rhinoshield crash guard bumper case for it
also got some chargers and type c cables (car charger, home charger, work charger)
i've only ever used a galaxy s3 and a droid x, this will be my first big phone
i'm going to be sticking one of these UnGrip things to the back of the phone so its much easier to use one handed
how bad did i fuck up? in general?
>>54914954
>I only got my Pure over the 6P because it was like $200 cheaper.
that is the thing, the 6p is expensive and holds its value super well on the used market, the pure tanked in value for a reason
>>54915022
Can't comment on the rhinoshield since I'm not familiar with that brand.
Other than that everything you did sounds fine. The 6p is a great phone and there's nothing wrong with getting extra cables/chargers.
>>54915097
Pure tanked in resale value because of price drops for the Nexus and the sale of Motorola to Lenovo. Customer support is utter shit and updates are not as fast or as plentiful as expected.
That isn't really an issue for me though since I'm rooted and on a custom rom.
>>54915177
rhinoshield bumpers are awesome, it's like most of the protection from a much bigger otterbox case but way less bulk, i believe they're drop-rated for 11 feet no matter how it falls
How do you guys feel about this guy for $179.

Oh they don't? Were talking beyond bullshit app malware. Stay dumb pony-boy.
>>54915491
Are you really unironically arguing this?
AOSP based Roms are open source so you can see exactly all the "bullshit app malware" or more realistically the lack thereof.

There's a reason why the Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have this.
>>54916183
Yeah because apple is behind like always, at least with out of the box ideas. Check out the panels supposedily getting manufactured for the 2017 iPhone..super amoled curved display... hmmm now who does that sound like.
>>54916087
S7Edge is the phone to get right now, if you can afford it. LG v10 isn't bad but it's running an older Snapdragon processor.
>>54916183
And, I assume, a reason the 2017 iPhones are rumored to be gaining it.
Why do people think BlackBerry is obsolete now? I have a Q10 and it's way better than an iPhone or Android. The user interface is so much more intuitive--everything is in a place where it makes sense. "Settings" isn't just a meaningless word--you can actually change important shit and see useful information. The battery can last more than 5 fucking minutes under normal use. There is a physical keyboard so I'm not constantly fighting to type a coherent sentence. I think what I like most is that it hasn't been dumbed down.
My only complaints are that the browser has issues with adding exceptions for sites with invalid TLS certificates (I can't get on Arch's site?!); and there some apps I'd like to get that don't exist, but that's just because the community is so much smaller.
>>54916234
That's great, but you didn't actually answer the question. I'm wondering what kind of functionality the Edge display has?
I'm pretty much getting the Note 6 no matter what, but I'm not sold on the curved display.

anything below 5" is real cuck level
i think having 5-6" is reasonable for 2016
>>54916087
yeah what do you do with these things?
>>54917222
it seems comical that there were times when 4", 3.5", 3", hell even 2" screens were considered big. i wonder how far this will go considering hand size and portability
>>54917260
5.7" looks like the standard, any bigger and it's too unwieldy
i mean the nexus 7 is a thing and people don't consider that phone-worthy due to size
>>54917260
i hope next year nexus is even bigger
>>54917260
It needs to fit comfortably in a pocket. If bendable/foldable stuff is viewable I'd expect that to be the next step. 5-6" standard screen that folds to double its size, or something.

Dunno. They should have made the X have a SD820, the premium have a 1440p 5.3" screen, and the small one cost less. It would have been a decent lineup

Guys should I get the Oukitel K6000 Pro for 150 USD?
Hi anons, I was hoping someone could help me understand something I've been having trouble with.
So I've been looking into purchasing a chink phone, possibly the redmi note 3, not really sure yet. I am on verizon over here in the US, and I know that only certain phones are compatible due to cdma. I see that the note 3 has wcdma, would that work with my sim card over here in the states? Does anyone have any experience with verizon in this manner? Any other chink phones anyone wants to recommend for verizon?
Anyone have any advice on buying a Verizon compatible phone with a large battery capacity, preferably with a smaller screen? I was thinking of pic, but its a phablet and that branding is ugly as fuck. I just want to be able to shitpost all day.
LG G4 or Nexus 6p? Carrier is Sprint.
>>54915244
because it's very fragile and hard to repair so unless you are a millionaire don't invest on an S7
Anyone have experience with a Vertu?
>>54914842

>plastic build makes it feel cheap as fuck. Again, get this for the ~$250 US price tag to justify
tl;dr It's good, esp coming from the 5 and didn't want to cash out $700
I'm actually looking into selling this when the next nexus phone gets released bc of some of the social media gripes I have with the 5x.
How does it make sense that snap can run smoothly on the 5 yet my 5x can't do it? That shit pisses me off.
>>54915613
Holy shit anon, that sounds like a pain in the ass. I have a Redmi 3 and had to wait a week for the bootloader unlock message, the unofficial unlock methods tempted me but I was wary that people on the Russian forums were saying it bricked their phones.
Now I have TWRP and flashed CM12.1 for good measure.
>>54916656
The current model is pretty good. Got one to work on it it's flawless. Could replace laptops.
The kick-stand and keyboard integrated in the cover is much better than apples solution by the way.
How much does an iPhone drop in price when the new one is released?
And, if I buy the "old" iPhone, are there any disadvantages? Or will I be able to use the phone for at least another 2 years in terms of apps are all good to go and iOS will be updated if necessary.
>>54919136
Yes.

You should have gotten it with promo codes.
>>54920460
You should sell it now in Canada while the prices are better for ya and get a phone that's capable of getting a Mugen, Seidio, Anker, RavPower, Zerolemon, or Hyperion battery.
>>54920669
IPhones are outdated on arrival. Updates will slow it down. Especially older iPhones with crippled RAM.

Looking to purchase an S7 or an S7 Edge. Despite the larger display and battery life on the Edge, I'm concerned about it being potentially more fragile than the S7. Could anyone share their experience with the durability of these phones?
Is there even an android app that allow me to save custom gestures then map them to soft/hard keys?

>fixing your autism mid post
>>54920768
Regarding >>54920460, considering I had the phone for 3 full months, would dropping my initial buy price of ~$100 be a decent sale?
The thing is, I needed a phone asap which is why I bought the 5x. What should I get either in the mean time for a better successor to my Nexus 5, or what phone should I get with those batteries you mentioned?
Better context:
>all I do with my phone is the following
>Snapchat/Facebook/IG
>Whatsapp/Texts
>WiFi Music Streaming / YouTube
>Battery is not dead after 3hrs of SOT
> $400 or less
I had a nexus 5 til it broke and it was perfect
>>54920906
I don't know how the prices are on the reseller market in Canada, just look up what other people want for a slightly used 5x.
The g4 has same specs with more ram and you can swap the battery. Maybe try to get it in murica again.

I have a HTC One X and it's broken before. I'm not that happy with the quality of the phone. Is the HTC 10 actually good or is /g/ just memeing me?

It's a very unremarkable phone.

>2 days until zuk launches the z2

iPhone SE 64GB for $500 and a $200 Best Buy/Target gift card back.
Good deal?
>>54921631
I have the Z1, the build quality and battery life is excellent. If it wasn't for the smaller screen on the Z2 I'd get it.
>>54921662
I want the smaller screen. Over 5 inches is too much for me to handle. Also the 3500 mah battery is insane for that size. Do you have cyanogenmod installed or do you use the regular os from zuk?
>>54921631
http://www.oppomart.com/phones/zuk-z2.html
Are prices like this usually final? 270 Euros is a very good price for that phone.
>>54921672
The stock 5.1.1 Cyanogen OS, everything works, and I couldn't be bothered flashing recovery etc to run CM13.
Software wise I've had exactly two random reboots that I can recall in eight months or so of use, it's pretty stable.
what about oneplus 3
>>54921577
Sounds great what price?
Redmi Note 3 Pro or Meizu MX5?
Do the S7/Edge randomise the MAC address on stock rom?
>>54921838

>>54916040
It's one of the phone's weaker points actually.
>>54919253
http://willmyphonework.net/
It won't work.
>>54921911
Why would it do that?
>>54921993
For security? Nexus phones do it.
>>54921863
RN3P by far.
http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/meizu-mx5-32gb,xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro
>>54922043
Why is the MX5 so expensive?
The M3 Note is better in every single way.
Hell, even the camera is the only significant thing it has over the M2 Note.
>>54922052
Well, the X10 is still a little faster than the P10.
The cameras are better on both than the Redmi, but the SD650 is faster than both and it has a bigger battery and plenty of roms.
http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/meizu-m3-note-32gb,meizu-mx5-32gb,xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro
Does USB-C even offer any advantages over normal USB in phones at this point? I remember seeing that phones don't even utilize proper USB-C and that it's only the connector that's USB-C?
Why is the 3GB RAM 32GB storage mi4c 50% more than the 2GB RAM 16GB model?
300aud vs 200aud
>>54913782
I hope you chose "Unopened standard" in the options. otherwise you'd have to unlock and flash the global rom to get rid of the chinky MiUi version they preinstall.
Is there a scene for the Redmi Note 3 Pro?
Just saying because I like tinkering around with ROMs and the LG G3 is only $40 more expensive.
>>54922164
Its $60 more on Ali. ($130vs. $190).

>>54922216
Yes, plenty of ROMS, including CM13 and AOSP.
It's better than the G3 either way.
>>54922156
Yeah it's just a fancy connector at this point, data transfers are still usb2. Not worth buying loads of new cables for.
>>54922227
oooh neat
might get it then
>>54922248
I assume I can use the ROMs from the regular Redmi Note 3?
There's no specific page for the Note 3 Pro on XDA.
>>54922268
As long as its the Snapdragon version, yes. the Mediatek versions have significantly less support.
>>54922252
Supported devices, chargers/ ports have rapid charging at 3.1amps e.g. Nexus 5x
>>54922268
Snapdragon / kenzo = RN3P
Don't flash the wrong ones, they won't work
>>54922355
By wrong ones you mean the ones for the Mediatek one, right?
Also, does it matter if it's the 3GB RAM version instead of 2?
google don't include sd card slots because they are moving towards the cloud future baby
>>54921826
Id wait if I were you until reviews come. No invite system so there's not really any rush to get one
>>54922372
Redmi Note 3 = MTK X10 - available in 2/16 and 3/32 RAM/ROM versions.
Redmi Note 3 Pro = SD650 - available in 2/16 and 3/32 RAM/ROM versions.
>Also, does it matter if it's the 3GB RAM version instead of 2?
No, but more RAM is always better, especially with MiUi being quite a RAM hog itself.
>>54922444
>No, but more RAM is always better, especially with MiUi being quite a RAM hog itself.
No, i'm talking regarding ROMs, if I need a special one for the 3GB version.
>>54922408
Or because they know what people want more than themselves.
Outside of a few /g/ plebs who need 128gb sd cards to host all their torrented chink animu, 32gb is enough for one person.
>>54922453
No, its the same

Alright, thank you.
I have a Nexus 4, and I'm fairly happy with it, but I broke it.
Should I buy Nexus 5x, or Oneplus One/X/2/3 ?
Or what would you recommend for less than $400 ? (I just want stock Android)
>>54922585
Unless you can wait for the One Plus 3, get the 5X.
The One Plus 2 has the SD810.
>>54922606
Okay that was my plan, thank you.
>>54920836
Anyone?
Maybe /spg/ is really a circlejerk central and all you do is fapping to your hardwares and "muh minimal material design ui"

I think I've made a terrible mistake.
>>54922846
LG G5. OK the battery life isn't amazing but it's by no means poor.
>>54922904
I'll look into it. I was considering an S7 but no replaceable battery means it's a brick after a year, probably. Otherwise it's very attractive.
>>54922857
Already tried that, it doesnt have what i need
I'm thinking about getting Honor 7 (345€/392$)
Or Nexus 5X (328€/372$)
Leaning more towards Honor, I have no particular features I want, just need an upgrade from my Nokia. Which one is overall better/more durable?

Samsung Galaxy S7 or Huawei P9?
S7 costs 100€ more.
>>54923169
S7 easily, P9 is worse in every aspect.
>>54923134
Honor 7. better CPU, camera, and battery.
>>54923295
Thank you
>>54923234
Yeah, would pick up the S7 immediately if it wasn't so ugly.
Hey guys is this safe to buy. It says new but it is ebay.

Why is snapchat your favourite app? I find that I use whatsapp here (in europe) a lot, which everyone uses, but I almost never use snapchat. I got the impression it was something vain kiddos use to send daily selfies to each other.
>>54923879
Probably.
explain to me why i shouldnt choose the mi4c over the redmi pro 3
without talking about the SD card or slightly bigger battery.
Is there any ROM issues?
>>54921114
>5.0
no thanks.
>>54923923
There isn't, and the Mi4c is a better device overall. cheapest SD808 device you can find for sure.

>>54924312

Novelty that wears off quickly.
>metal body?
Lighter=better.
>better roms on redmi pro 3?
Nope, there aren't any other than the Chinese and global roms. Mi4c on the hand has CM13 and AOSP.
The only real advantages are the battery and sd card.

Most freeware is better than foss counterparts. In fact most successful open sores software was initially proprietary. Like FF, Libreoffice, lightworks and so on.

So I was thinking of upgrading my rooted Z3C from 4.4.4 to 6.0.1.
But the more I read about MM the more bugged it seems. Is it worth it? Are there any noticeable upgrades?
>>54924670
It ain't worth it. You lose stamina mode. That's the best feature in z3 but they stripped it in favor of lackluster Doze.
