What is currently the best phone? My LG G4 just got a nice burn-in on the display (I can see the afterimage of text I've written ten minutes ago) and I'm looking for a replacement.
Already had the iPhone 6S - memes aside, didn't really like it, so I returned it.
Nexus 6P? I don't really like the design, but people say it's a GOAT phone.
OnePlus Three is meh, with the S7/S7 Edge I can't stand the fucking mechanical button, it's 2016 fuck, get with the times. it's just another useless point of failure.
What else?

BlackBerry Q10 and Classic are the two best.

HTC 10, a flawless phone
Subjective.
I have the OPO since its release and it's lasted. Battery of 1.5 days with decent usage, definitely can hold a charge. Nice screen and good specs and ridiculously cheap. Not sure how the new ones are though.
Realize what you need and buy the one that has the best bang for your buck.

holy fuck, your g4 is already fucking up? sorry to hear that, anon. I always wanted to get an lg phone, but it looks like their quality control is piss poor.
>>55117777
Quads. Guess you gotta get a 6P. I have an S7 Edge and i love it. 8 hours SoT, great camera, beautiful screen, it's a real good time.
>>55117853
Edge is too expensive though.
Why are all newer phones moving away from removable batteries and sd card slots?
>>55117888
op here, not for me but still, not entirely sold on it
oh look, triple same digits
>>55117841
yeah, shame
g5 has trash quality control from what I heard, I always wanted the V10 but it's kinda old now to waste €400 on it

Regardless of year on screen buttons are retarded and capacitive buttons are only slightly less so.
>>55117894
It's a feature not many use.
People who use sd cards are usually people with cheapish phones, and you can still get a sd card slot in 150-200$ priced phones no problems. On flagships, they expect you to have some sort of cloud service, and most of the newer phones start with 32GB anyways.
For batteries... I always look to have a phone with that feature, if not for hard-resetting it when it shits itself by yanking off the battery (always works) - I always tell myself that I buy non-removable battery phones so I can buy another battery and have a good charge in no time, but I never bought a replacement battery for any of the phones I've had.
>>55117905
How so? They can be customized in any way you like, even in width/height, so it doesn't take much space. When in fullscreen the fade away and can be brought back. If you're not a complete scullfuck you won't bump on them
>>55117941
>How so?
Because there's a fucking bezel that takes no screen space at all. On screen buttons are the dumbest thing to happen to smartphones since touchscreen keyboards.
>>55117957
Still, a potential mechanical point of failure. I still see chinks and autismo go-gos going as far as using the on-screen home button in their iPhones because of this.

Bezels keep shrinking, retard. Buttons require more space.
>>55118214
Yeah because bezels absolutely have to keep shrinking in all directions. It'd be physically impossible to have one bezel just large enough for buttons, wouldn't it?
Fucking dumbass.

Physical buttons are completely fucking useless and take up needless space.
Adding them either shrinks screen size or forces makers to make the phone longer. Look at the 6P in the OP image. You think you can keep the same dimensions, have physical buttons and the same screen size? You fucking retard.
This is why those iphones have those retarded resolutions for muh physical home button.
Only button needed is the fingerprint sensor and those go on the back just fine.
>>55119303
6P's already too big, but even in its exact current form there is space for physical buttons on the bottom bezel.
>This is why those iphones have those retarded resolutions
iPhone's odd resolution has literally nothing to do with this.
>>55119327
>6P's already too big, but even in its exact current form there is space for physical buttons on the bottom bezel
buttons so small they become meaningless. There's absolutely no need for physical buttons on the front. The decision to replace them with front facing speakers is so much better.

No matter how tiny they are they provide tactile feedback, which is the point.

If you're okay with wasting thousands of pixels

Nope

Phones are computers you fucking moron,
>>55119383
You don't need this tactile feedback for using the keyboard, yet you do just to press a menu button? lol okay.
>>55119411
>You don't need this tactile feedback for using the keyboard
Where the fuck did I say that?
>yet you do just to press a menu button?
Yes.
>>55119426
So you want both a physical keyboard and a dedicated buttons? Well the Priv is right there for you go nuts.

it's not the same 'burn-in' with samsung phones, the burn-in goes away after you don't use it for like 10mins. I know it's horrible.

Come on, an Android BlackBerry? I'll stick to BB10OS
>>55119442
You need to face the fact that smartphones have become general purpose computers. You may not like it, you may not agree with it, but it doesn't change shit.
>>55119460
What are you going to do when Blackberry dies?
>>55119483
Keep using my BlackBerry. It's not like the phone's going to magically stop working if the company goes under.

Even if it was 4k the screen is like 6 inches
I bet you're an audiophile retard as well
nexus 6p is not a GOAT phone i've had the last 3 nexus's but i like the original 6 more, the best thing about the 6p is the screen is far more shatterproof than the 6
>>55119554
>not owning a 4k desktop screen

I swear you're fucking retarded.
>>55120049
Why are you storing shit on your phone to view on your desktop? Does your desktop have no storage?
>>55120067
>take video on phone
>"hurr why are you storing shit on your phone? Does desktop habe no storage??? ::^^^DDD"
Let me break it down.
You take a 4k, large sized video.
On your phone.
Then, until it reaches your computer, between that time you might take a 30 min recording. Or an hour. Or multiple 10 min ones.
So until it gets to B (PC), you need large storage space for A to hold videos. But not to mention all the apps and music you have on it, that's why you need lots of space.
Get it honey?
>>55120101
Don't you fucking treat me like a retard just because I don't keep up to date on the latest pocket toys. I'd forgotten 4k cameras were in phones now, you piece of shit.
>none of these people can figure out USB-OTG
If you needed more storage while recording long ass 4K videos, why dont you set up USB-OTG? You'll store it straight to a drive anyway, so what's the point?
Only thing I think I would need a sd for is storing multiple roms for testing without the inconvience of having a huge ass wire lodging around while I set them up
sony xperia z5 premium is the best. all other phones are shit
>>55119460
fuck you
>>55119268
>falling for the touchwizz is just the app launcher meme
>just got a nice burn-in on the display
Literally just noticed that today as well. Hasn't happened before, only had the phone for less than 6 fucking months.
How good is the LG replacement/repair service? I don't want to drop money on this, since it its not easily noticeable, but goddamn that's some planned obsolescence shit.
My fucking S5 didn't even do this kind of thing and that's a fucking OLED.
>inb4 LCDs don't burn in, it's the retention
A meme by any other name would be just as fucking shitty.

He means recorded video you retards
What's the point of having a phone that records 4k if you can't store more than 30seconds of it?
I own a 6P its pretty good and ever since Google updated its keyboard I can type with one hand comfortably. I've been using it with the N beta and it's size has been a positive with split screen
