S7 Exynos pr 6P?
>>55223616
Got some cash to burn from my bday and feel like upgrading from my OPO.
One thing that pissed me off about OPO was the shitty camera, I'm wanting something to at least Iphone 6 standards.
Next preference is battery life, I want something that's going to easily last me a day and then some.
Unlockable boot loader preferred but not essential.
Budget is ~$500aud
>>55223834
The 6P, you'll save a bunch of money, and have a more consistent experience. The 6P is what you want your S7 to be after trying to disable all the bloat. And the battery life is GOAT.
>>55223915
You seriously think the 6P has better battery life than S7 Exynos?? And the 810 gives the exact opposite of a "consistent experience".
>>55223834
S7 by far. better SoC, battery, waterproof, SD, and perfectly sized. 6P=SD Housefire, oversized, no SD.
Looking for a new phone. I'm in Canada using Wind. Minimal bloat and good UI is a must, but other than that i don't care too much. $400-500 but I don't mind going higher.

Im in need of a new phone since my s4 has finally bit the dust due to water damage, I have a price range of $200 aud im honestly stuck and have no idea what phone to get, Is the iphone 5s still decent for it's age at all? looking for any recommendations!

No.
>>55224238
No unlockable boot loader. As expensive as the s7 here is Aus.
In the bin that goes.
I have to give credit to Samsung for having the best auto brightness implementation on Android. A Kenobi device on my other hand is too dim with auto brightness enabled outside and too bright inside, plus the brightness level seems to constantly change and is bothersome.

Only real downside is it only works with Boost Mobile so check Sprint coverage first.
I own one so AMA I guess.
R.I.P. in peace Moto G
>>55224275
I think it will be better than the S7, especially the sound quality either with the stereo speakers or through good in-ears.
Build quality will be better than the S7, it's literally a brick.
But I will wait for several reviews.
Maybe some people will find an exploit to enable you rooting this device.
>>55224349
I want it to be as good as the marketing is making it sound, but I'm going to be let down by a shitty UI that can't be rooted and I'm not paying $800 for that.

>>55223943
My experience has been nothing but consistent, my 6p never gets hot. I had an S6 and that thing was a hotplate 80% of the time. I don't see the point of non Nexus phones, you spend half of your time trying to disable all the shit that runs in the background. I own a Nexus because I know that when I put it on my nightstand before I go to sleep, I will have (within 4%) the same battery left when I wake up. You just can't do that with a skinned phone.
>>55224153
The 6P has no heat issues because it never pushes the 810 hard enough for it to get hot. Skinned phones with the 810 has the heat issue because of all the crap on them.
>>55224673
>>55224702
6P throttles before it even gets physically hot, by the time it's under any real strain it's down below 600MHz

I'm trying to find a case that I like for my S6, but most of the ones I see don't have a screen protector and seem to be little more than glorified backplates.
The case I had for my S2 had an integrated screen protector (not one you had to put on yourself like a sticker); is there something like that for my S6? Or have we gotten to the point where such isn't really necessary anymore?
The S2 case:

What's the best/minimum resolution for phone vr
Any phones that I could replace my Nexus 6P on the horizon? I want something the same size at least.
>>55225293
>>55225245
All I need now is to make sure it's compatible with the international unlocked S6 I'm getting.
I'm pretty ignorant about all this, but I know in the S2 days each carrier had their own version with slightly different button placement which would affect which case you could get.
I don't see anywhere on this case what version it's for. Has the S6 embraced universal case compatibility or...?

BH has the Moto x pure significantly marked down (16gb for 240, 64gb for 320) and it comes with a microsd card. I'm really tempted to dump my M9 for it (my battery is shit). I've heard that Moto has a ton of QC issues with them and that support is abysmal. What do you guys think?

Moto X pure has shit performance. Only 4 A53 cores @ 1.44 GHz and 2 A57 cores @ 1.8 GHz.

Is the MXP a good upgrade from a bootloader locked G4?
Whatever happened to the Alcatel idol 4 and 4s? They were announced back in February and we haven't heard anything since.
>>55224131
>>55225559
It's the same price on BH and you can probably avoid tax. Plus there's a free sd card too.
>>55225551
It will especially as more stuff gets encoded in 10-bit HEVC.
>>55223834
S7 has a more efficient screen, better battery SD card slot.
>>55225559
I't be smarter to get a 4GB RAM zenfone 2 imho. Screen is 1080p but has a quad-core 2.3 x86 atom processor slightly faster than the quad-core krait 400 ARM processor on the Note 3.
Am I crazy for considering switching from a Nexus 5x to a iPhone 5s? I can't quit considering an Apple device for some reason.
>>55225583
Well, I've heard the same issues as >>55225452 about QC and like >>55225515 says it is a weaker phone, so I'm not sure if dropping 320 is even an upgrade compared to my G4.

But it is. iPhones are full of backdoors.
You see it's not the FBI agents you have to worry about, it's the hackers who know about these backdoors.
Fact is if apple can't protect you from a bunch of federal cucks who can barely use internet explorer then they sure as hell can't protect you from that hacker who could be 10X as knowledgeable and skilled as a them.

>>55226920
You now regret buying Samsung, suck it up and live with the bloat and watch porn on a high quality screen, then kind of don't regret it as much because the hardware is good, but a year or two down the road software regret kicks back in because they probably won't update it ever again.
>>55226936
I'm not completely sure. I'm trying to figure out what phone to buy. My budget is around $200 so if you have any suggestions that would be helpful.
>>55226978
For that price range I'd probably recommend you get a Zenfone 2 Laser. It has a microsd slot, 1080p screen, 8-core processor, and a 13MP camera, 32GB storage, and 3GB of RAM.

AT&T networks are fucking dogshit. Bad coverage and really bad service when they do have coverage in most places.
Maybe you got lucky but as a general rule people should avoid AT&T and their carriers at all costs. They somehow manage to suck more than Sprint networks which is an impressive feat desu.

>>55227449
>literally carcinogenic
Not really. The danger is for workers handling microwave popcorn who don't wear proper safety equipment. For the average joe the increased risk of developing cancer from eating microwaved popcorn isn't really that significant.
>"Generally speaking, even if you don't let your popcorn cool before you open the bag, you're not likely to suffer ill health effects from eating reasonable quantities of microwave popcorn. The studies that have demonstrated harm as a result of chemical exposure have been in cases of factory workers who are exposed to much larger quantities of the chemicals over a much longer period than you would be, preparing and consuming microwave popcorn at home."

Redmi 3 Pro or Mi4c @ 125€ are 5" but less powerful.

It all depends on your hand size and how you use your phone. I'm 6 feet tall (1.8m) with hands to match and although I used a Note 2 for 2 years, I definitely prefer my Z3 Compact because I often text with one hand.
Does gearbest ship chinkshit with the stock OS or is it one of these bloated custom OS garbage?

Where?
>>55228734

I'm always afraid to buy something like a phone from aliexpress or ebay desu, I feel like I won't ever be able to use the warranty if it breaks
>>55228534
>it flopped.
That's disappointing. I like the idea to be able to upgrade parts of your phone rather than having to buy a whole new one every few years.

ça avait l'air d'être la mode de faire des smartphone sans slot pour une microSD et sans batterie amovible.
>>55228865
Sans batterie amovible oui, sans microSD c'est quand même beaucoup moins courant. Le truc bizarre c'est que c'est surtout le cas pour des trucs un peu haut de gamme.
Par contre pourquoi on parle en français ?
My company buys us a new device (phone/tablet/wearable) once a year, or our choosing. What should I get? I'm a vr enthusiast, so I was considering holding out for a Daydream-ready phone. Rocking a Nexus 6 now.
>>55228937
Forgot to specify, but my plan is a vy-the-month unlimited, so no contract requirements, just gotta move my sim card over.
>>55228887
parce qu'on est français ?
Nan sérieux, un bon téléphone <200€ une idée ?
>>55228801
I'm sure there's a local shop in France that sells it, it's available here in my tiny EU country. look for a french retailer e.g.

S7 gets constant praise and supports Gear VR. Daydream will get more apps for sure (minus a few exclusives) and supports motion controls. The Nexus 6P is close to Daydream certification but the 810 throttles too hard, plus it's too similar to the Nexus 6 to warrant an upgrade. I would wait for fall phone launches.
Does anyone have any experience with those "PLATINUM BATTERY" batteries on ebay which are like 1000 mAh bigger on eBay?
Will they light on fire?
>>55229146
did you even read the description? Samsung decided to optimize their own browser instead of Chrome. It you want Google apps to work well, buy a Google phone. If that's too confusing for you, buy an iPhone.

No, the labels just lie. The actual battery is just the same, if not worse, than the OEM battery.

All Xiaomi devices come with their custom Android variant. Gearbest might also modify it to switch it to English and/or add the play store and/or add botnet. Mine's still in the mail so I can't confirm Gearbest's actual practices yet.
>>55229279
Yeah, I know about MIUI, I was talking about reseller modifications
>>55229141
I'm doing okay. I wasn't stupid enough to get an iPhone. I just got my 64GB micro sd card like a few days ago, can't wait to put my favorite movies and tunes on it.
>>55229292
>>55229279
If you didn't specifically asked them to leave the box unopened or flash the global ram, it's likely modified with malware/chinkwaer. better flash the official rom after getting it just to be safe.
what should I get for $300-$400
>>55229332
Anything NOT an iPhone basically and that has a microsd slot.
I bought a Z5 Compact for 365€ (+ a 11€ bumper).
It comes as a replacement for my Nexus 4.
I'm in France and I've a 15€ 15 Go plan (unlimited text and call) (Red by SFR).

Go spend some time with your sister. Don't you miss her?
I like the looks of the S7 edge but have had multiple anons and real people in person say they have shattered the edge. However, I dont know if they had a case or not. Is it a go with a case?
is it true that the next galaxy note will feature 6.2 inch screen?

Not very, I only recently started storing some music on my phone because my new car has blue tooth connectivity. In my old car I had to hook up my old iPod via USB. The blue tooth auto sync is very nice.

Poorfagerino here. My Galaxy S2 battery is dying, I'm thinking of buying a "new" used phone instead of buying a battery. Something from 2013/2014. Most important for me is long battery life, thinking of an LG G2. Any suggestions?
>>55229589
Get a zte warp elite, it sounds like a good deal if you have sprint where you live.
see >>55224342
>>55229572
That hardly gets 3g in the US
>>55229589
>long battery life
if in in Asia/Europe, get a chink with huge battery ala K6000 Pro/Ulefone Power. If in US, get a G4/G3 with zerolemon battery.
>>55229634
>>55229618
I'm from Eastern Europe, thanks for the suggestions fellas. Gonna look into that chinkphone.
>>55229644
Redmi 3/3s Pro is another option as well if you want a smaller phone with very good battery life. Zenfone max as well.
http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
>>55229644
Oh nevermind then. Boost is a US carrier which is what the warp elite will work with.
Korean here. Don't buy Samsung. They exploit people here. Buy Nexus instead of Galaxy. Google is the good. Samsung evil.
>>55229681
Any idea of some older phones. I literally just use the phone for youtube and messaging/mail. Something under 100$ used. I just care about the battery.
>>55229694
You are Korean, Samsung is Korean, Love your race defend from the Jap/Chinese hoard. Shame you
Now that i got the Redmi Note 3 Pro, what do i install or do next?

Look for phones with Zerolemon/Mugen/Hyperion compatible battery cases.
>>55229784
Flash global rom/CM13.
The battery percentage on my Droid Turbo has been recently going down very quickly. Roughly 10% in 8 minutes. This had never occurred when I first bought it but 6 months in, it's starting to happen.
It also goes down quickly in general.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
I flashed CM13 on my note 2 from it's stock ROM and it's now getting much worse battery life compared to how it was, on touchwiz, i'd get about 6hr SOT, now I'm barely breaking 4 and it's running warmer too.
What gives? Anything I can do to remedy this?
Anyone have an iPhone SE? Thinking about getting one to replace my big dumb Nexus 6 but I'm worried I might miss the big screen, as much as nuisance it can be most of the time.
>tfw might have to settle for the OP3
>>55229883
Go ahead, then go to >>>/lgbt/ board and never come back here.
>>55229885
It doesn't have a microsd slot, why on earth would you get it?
>>55229730
>Something under 100$
Also, Doogee T6 is $98 and has a huge 6250 mAh battery. not a powerhouse but probably enough for these uses you listed. check http://willmyphonework.net/ to see if it's compatible though.
Idk if this is the right place to ask this but I finally damaged my 2 and a half year old Nexus 5 after it fell out of my shirt pocket and onto a concrete floor.
A piece of glass chipped off of one of the corners and there are two pretty short hairline cracks coming off of that spot, going through the very top and right edge of the display, and ending at the top and right bezels.
I can't even see them unless I look at it at the right angle.
My question is do I have to worry about the damage getting worse on its own? I wouldn't think so since the two cracks have already spread to their fullest extent, but then again I've never cracked a phone screen before.

You can flash AOSP or CM13 easily.
New RN4 probably won't be out until next year.

>>55230430
Anons on /csg/ reported higher benchmark scores and longer battery life on CM13. not surprising because MiUi is a CPU+RAM hog.
S7 edge owners...
Do you get used/not notice the edge after while? Is it ever a nuisance? Effect movie watching? Don't care about the edge meme but want the bigger screen and battery over the regular S7. I don't it to bother me down the road.
>>55230542
That's nice to know. Is there any advantage in keeping MIUI?
What theme are you guys using on your s7?
>>55230577
It's an iOS clone with fancy animations and stuff like that if that's your thing. also weekly updates form Xiaomi.
I'm looking at upgrading and updating. Is the latest edition of the Moto E a phone worth giving to a parent? Is the Moto G3 good enough for anything short of high-end gaming, are there any major flaws with it I should consider / better phones in the $200 range?

So mad because it's true. Do you really have that image saved in your computer for moments like this?
LG g2 owner here, thinking about getting a mi max. Seems like the performance will be pretty good (snapdragon 650 seems equal to 808 and 652 close to 810, right?), so not worried about that.
I'm only worried about the screen though. Are they as good in terms of contrast, backlight bleed, brightness etc as most high-end non chink phones?
Am I missing other interesting huge phones? I was interested in the mate 8, but it is still like 550 euros for a chinkphone with worse software than actual chinkphones (xiaomi seems pretty good at giving you recent android versions, right?)
