There is no alternative to S7.
Anywhere to get the Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L53 ? Its the one that works in the US (I want band 12) but I cant find it.
>>55392925
The only real flaw that the OP3 has is its 3000mAh battery 'cuz muh thin fashion accessoire. The rest i can cope with.
>>55393170
Whats wrong with 3000 mAh?
My Z3 has 3100 and its idle life is loooong.
>>55393170
Screen-Size ratio is rather bad.
Why nobody goes the LG G2 way? Even though it featured a 5,2'' screen, it was so handy.
Camera is not really good compared with the S7 and lacks many options.
Upgraded to S7 from S2. Finally. Feels good, haven't tested battery and everyday using yet. Screen is godlike, useful for navigating.
>>55393327
>worse than OP2
>>55393327
Battery life is more than just mAh count, some phone needs more because they may be using a less efficient screen, circuits, processors etc. Literally sky and earth the difference of battery life between the Xperias Z1 and Z3 eventhough their batteries are about the same.
>>55393350
Lots of circuits goes around the screen, the LG can be thin because the buttons are on the back
>>55393363

This is wrong with 3000mAh.
>>55393419
>>55393381
ewwwwwwwwww I see what you mean.
>>55393436
But hey... at least OP3 users always have DashCharge™, they only need to carry their DashCharge™ along with them.
OP3 has such a shitty battery life also thanks to the useless 6GB ram.

>>55392824
For someone who can't currently watch the videos, how does the Axon fare in those tests?
I simply don't understand it.
How hard can it be to design a good smartphone that can compete with the Iphone 6s and the Samsung S7?
I thought the Axon 7 would be a contender, but after having seen the comparison vids, it is flushed down the toilet.

Too bad it doesn't have a microsd slot else I'd consider buying one.
>>55393797
Because it costs a fuckton of money to get good enough R&D to design something as good as the s7 or 6S and that wouldn't be profitable because if you're in the same market segment as those two people won't even look at your product.

>>55393880
LG, HTC and Sony have the resources to do so.
Instead they release overpriced garbage.
>>55393145
Or is it not really dropped yet? Can't even find the L23 which lacks band 12
So does a smaller-screen Android phone worth buying exist?
I'm talking like, 4,7"-5,2", must run newest Android, no skin or very light one.
Preferably no chinkshit.
I'm looking at OPO3, as it's literally the only cheap and good smartphone currently out it seems, but the screen is a bit big, though I could probably get used to it.

t. Oneplus
Bought a T-Mobile LG V10 on eBay for $220.
Just got it all set up,rooted, bootloader unlocked and SIM unlocked.
>Pros:
God-tier headphone output from ESS Sabre DAC and headphone Amp
Good camera with RAW and manual settings (Camera2 API)
Good build quality though probably not very water resistant
>Cons:
Very meh battery life so far
LCD backlight is somewhat uneven
Performance is actually below Snapdragon 805/801 phones which is pretty sad..
Luckily the two main things I do use my phone for are music and camera so I'm not too disappointed.
Came from a Note 4 which unfortunately met it's end in a toilet.
>>55394478
Sheesh, are you gonna delete this one too?
>>55394527

S7 + Gear VR for 750€
Should I do it? Are there any other good VR headsets that are not cardboard?
>>55393363
Does the screen look somewhat saturated to you?
I took a look at an S7 the other day and it looked really fucking saturated compared to the rest of the phones I've seen. Anyway, congrats on the purchase.
>>55393644
Everything but the "web browsing" results actually improved, weird.
>>55394209
Oh wow, as a slav, those slav stereotypes are killing me.
Sunflower seeds are addictive as fuck, I can eat a whole package without realizing.
>>55394570
The saturation on their phones have been adjustable since forever
>>55394478
Is that your setup? Looks nice, what case/screen protector are you using on that V10 if I can ask?
$220 for a V10? Damn, that's an awesome price for that, wish I had known about it whenever.
>>55394646
Someone was spamming eBay with used V10 auctions and so I just low balled everyday until I won one of them. The same seller has them for like $250 buy it now. This is the case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016WSNTC4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually don't have a screen protector installed yet but this is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BYGWJY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
>>55394646
Also desu I'm not sure I would recommend this phone unless you're willing to sacrifice things like battery life and performance for the quality DAC/Amp.
>>55394641
Huh if that's the case I probably should look at it again.
I have no experience with samsung phones beside the cheapo ones.
>>55393905
Not that i know of
>>55394698
There's this one also I just found:
www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V10-H901-64GB-Space-Black-T-Mobile-Smartphone-/311615381963
Wish I had the money, I really do. Still love my G2 however, it's set up perfectly for me and I have no issues with it at all. Want to get another G4 actually, had one earlier this year but sold it to catch up on bills, now I want another one but will just have to wait but, $220 for a 64GB V10 is one damned fine deal.
>>55394723
The S7 is objectively the best mobile phone by all possible metric
>>55394733
Wow lol that's the same seller. paid the same price though so whatever.
Since UMPCs aren't a thing anymore, does anyone know of a phone keyboard case that doesn't suck? I would specify what phone it's for, but mostly I'm just curious if such a thing exists at all, for any phone.
>>55394733
To be honest LG G3s are like $100ish and are totally worth it.
G4>v10
>>55394742
That's not the Z3 compact.
>>55394786
V10 is literally a better G4. In no way is it worse.
Where do you guys find the DAC/Amp information for your phones?
I'm trying to find the one for my phone (Xperia L) and see if it's any good, and I want to look up those for any future purchases I may do.
GSMarena and the manufacturer's website don't say anything.
>>55394816
Sony phones typically have kinda shit audio quality at least from my experience looking at GSMArena audio tests...

Scroll to the bottom
It's "okay"
>>55394858
Huh, thanks.
>>55394816
Also most phones just use a generic Qualcomm DAC (Assuming they're qualcomm-based phones) Though the quality of the output can vary wildly as someone manufacturers use their own amplifier or have better/worse RF shielding/headphones jacks etc. Actual output volume can vary too.

Great phone.
>>55394853
Cheap chinkshit, the worst kind of shit
>>55394794
Battery life and design, a lot of units I reviewed the G4 on average lasted a bit longer than the v10, leather is sexy and unimportant.
>>55394899
You sound like a legitimate shill.
Also how does it feel you will never be able to use a 256GB microsd card or the 320GB one that's going to be released next year?
>>55394926
Battery life on the G4 is slighlty worse according to GSMArena. Internally they're very similar phones and the ROMs are nearly the same. LG V10 has a very good dedicated DAC and headphone amp though.
How's the amazon moto g4, pretty tempting because it shows up 135 for me because I have prime.
>>55394942
if the whole audiophile horse shit isn't your cup of tea though I'd probably just recommend getting a G4 or something else..

What could prevent my phone from booting up when an SD card is in? I've tried mulltiple, and it just refuses to boot (Xperia SP).
I don't think it's a software thing, because I've both restored the stock firmware a couple of times, and I've used custom ROMs on it, and the result is the same on each of them.

Except that it's not because you can't make a single device that is the best for anyone and everyone all at the exact same time.
Also, specs, they're not all they're cracked up to be, I assure you.

Fucking shit. Literally ad-infested so you will have 0 privacy and almost a 100% you will never be able to root it. That's not even the worst part. The worst part is it has a shitty SoC with horrible single-thread performance and only 4 CPU cores can be used at the same time. Overall just a terrible phone. Save up and get a Zenfone 2 laser instead, the better SoC, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage are worth it.

It's time for an upgrade.
I'm thinking about buying a chinkphone, the Redmi Note 3 Pro. As the OP states, it is the budget recommendation.
However, has anyone real life experience with this phone and tell me something about it? I'm particularly interested in that MIUI rom.
What exactly is this? An own operating system or android-based? How about updates?
>>55394947

I don't really need to upgrade - besides that tiny problem I'm satisfied with it.

MIUI is a pretty extensive reskin of Android. It's mostly aesthetic changes - just look up a video review and see how it behaves.
If you end up liking MIUI, I recommend flashing the unofficial xiaomi.eu rom to remove all the chinese "mi store" junk.

>>55394570
It doesn't, however, as anon said, it's adjustable. I'm fine with default settings. I've got an Exynos variant, and overall battery life is much better than S2 had, even though it was rooted and basically empty (only calls/messaging apps, without pre-installed google ones). 3h SOT is shit, indeed.
Well, I don't know what might happen in next week.
>>55395521

You don't, the phone software stores the site password and enters it for you on fingerprint detection.
Dad wants to buy a Samsung J7, most he wants to spend is $250. Anything better for the budget? He primarily wants a large, higher resolution screen and battery for reading news articles, essentially a replacement for his broken 7" tablet. In fact he told me that if there was a 7" or 8" screen phone, he'd buy it.
Basically I'm trying to dissuade him from buying an underpowered phone (further bogged down by touchjizz) with a shitty low resolution when I'm certain that he can do much better for the price.

i'm still happy with it except for the performance has gotten worse with all the updates and the camera is shit.
the subsequent moto G's are way bigger so they're out of the question. all phones now are fucking huge now for that matter, what's going on?
i want the same phone but better performance and better camera. does that exist? i'd be willing to pay 200-300 for that. not interested in big screens or retarded huge resolutions, or gaming performance etc

Should I buy the adhesive pieces for my Xperia Z3, disassemble it, and replace them? (The front screen started to come off) Or should I replace it? Looking at the Blu Life One X, Huawei P9 Lite (looking for the US model), or another phone? My budget isn't high at all, at most $300~330

RN3P/Zuk Z2.
>>55399826
neither of those has full compatibility with GSM LTE bands in the US. Mainly T-Mobile
Some of you mad madmen with the RN3P try to do this:

If that shit actually works i'm buying another one for my mother.
>>55399826
(also the z2 looks like 350~400+ everywhere)

You sure anon?

Saw this deal on gizchina yeaterday. not sure about t mobile compatibility though.
>>55399990
it works with 2/3 bands. Missing Band 12 which enables VoLTE.
Looking for a phone that works really really performance,i don't care for the camera. I have a Galaxy S4 and it's starting to show it's age. Is the S7 a good upgrade or is there something else? I hear a lot of praise for the OnePlus phones. Sprint in America btw

Hardware is flawless. The issues lie with average to poor rom development and terrible stock software.
Can't get one right this second (yay being poor) but, when I do decide to take the plunge:
What would be the best site for getting a good deal on the Z3 Compact? Amazon or somewhere else?
>>55398520
Threadly reminder this still means that you'll always have to be in vicinity of power plugs all the time

Good upgrade from my 5x?
Tired of the battery dying in half a day and the slow downs because of heat.
I don't game. Just 4chan, business, and social.

>Always
What the fuck do you do during the day if you need to charge your phone from 0-100 more than once in a day?
>>55401105
Ask your mom :))
Is there anything like the OG Moto X out there, made within the last year? The SD 820 looks like some hot shit, but every phone with it is shit.
Nexus 5 or a Moto G4?
Need to replace my Nexus 4.
>every phone with it is shit
Not the One©️Plus®️ 3™️
>>55401212
I know you're memeing and all, but the OP3 seems like the thing I'd settle on. I just want to know if there's anything with an 820 that isn't rotting ass.
>>55394927
>released next year?
Considering the 256gb card right now is 220 dollars, and that prior who buy cheap chink phones upgrade every year anyway, not too bad you fucking faggot
>>55400912
Is the iPhone really the only hope for people who p much do casual shit like social media?
How does 4chan do on Apple anyways? Webm's are important for my porn.
>>55401377
you can use chrome on iphone if you really want to since it plays webm
>>55393327
Battery life as long as it's 3-5 hours or better with SOT doesn't matter much provided you have quick charge. I have a QC car charger and home charger and it's really not a huge deal for daily use. My Zenfone 2 and ZTE Zmax 2's charge 0 to full in about an hour and the Moto X I have went from 0 to 60% in like twenty or thirty minutes then slows down some.
>>55401197
I can only speak of a 3 year owner of the Nexus, it was the best phone until the inevitable powerbutton loop happened.
If you can deal with this risk, go for it. It was the best phone I've ever owned- fast, quick updates, decent battery life, easy to root if necessary
Are there any methods for bypassing t mobile tether limit? I keep seeing WiFi tether router recommended everywhere even though it doesn't work. Spoofing the user agent doesn't work anymore either.
>>55401438
Nexus 4? Best damn Nexus phone made period. Nexus 5 was dog shit though.
>>55401451
No. 5.
It might have been 2 years not 3 actually.
>>55401450
Do you have a carrier branded device with no root etc? I have stock ZF2 rom no root and I never hit a tether limit. It's carrier unlocked though as purchased. My ZTE Zmax 2's were ATT go phones that are unlockable yet require the ATT sim for reliable firmware updates and include tethering limitations carrier specific to the launcher it's sold with.
>>55401468
Ahh ok. Nexus 5 was what turned me off Nexus products completely sadly. Bought a couple OPO's and never looked back.
>>55401492
Always interested in a OPO but after the 5 i went for the 5x. Not the worst phone but also not a good successor to the 5 imo.
How's the overall phone holding up for OPO after 1-2 years?
>>55401478
No i have the nexus 4. On purity ROM 4.4.2 (too lazy to update + no space)
>>55401506
RIP lil buddy.
Yea I didn't like the 5x and the 6p although looks good on paper didn't seem worth it (((Huawei))). I ended up picking up a couple Moto X's instead for 200 and 300 a couple months apart (16GB internal). I tried to wait out the entire generation of 808/810 devices as I didn't like any of them except the LG V10 which was way too pricey and the LG G4 which seemed like a toss up for a bootloop issue due to hardware. Moto X so far despite the crappy chipset has a superb camera and couldn't be happier.
>>55401492
>>55401451
Nexus 4 was my first smartphone and it sucks because I'm still kind of new to the whole smartphone thing. Really loved it but I dropped it a couple of days ago and while I got no cracks the liquid screen was completely wrecked and now half the screen is dead to touch sensitivity. Had it for nearly four years so I guess I did pretty alright with it.
Been hearing mixed things about the Nexus 5 and the only reason I considered it was because it was the next step from a Nexus 4. Friend sent me a link to the Moto G4 though and I like the price of that for a new phone but hearing about the buyout kind of puts me on edge.
>>55401575
Moto X Pure as there are different years just to be clear.
>>55401571
T-Mobile must have a way of tracking your usage. I might get away with it some since Asus Zenfone 2 isn't exactly a popular or well known device. That or you just use it much more than I do but I have five leeches (kids) that tether constantly with tablets and grew up on Youtube and the like.
why wont the oneplus faggots put a microsd slot in their phones?
I bought two ZTE ZMax 2's might buy another three as they're like 60 bucks US and just put them on the family plan at TMO as it's cheap. Why bother with tablets at this point. 120 or so for 4 lines at TMO 6GB 150 I think for unlimited.
>>55401651
They did. In the OnePlus X. Then promptly discontinued that phone
>>55401668
Yea that's true. I thought that device was perfect if they only sold it in 5 and 5.5 versions and supported Tmobile. I would've jumped on it. I mean hell my cheap 60 dollar phone has quick charge and band 12 support with mSD wtf?
>>55401668

>>55401700
Wow still 200. Wonder if the One X OP2 OP3 have as good as a community as the OPO has had. Tons of great roms for the device.
>>55401630
It doesn't make sense how they are tracking it. I've been on t mobile since 2013 though so maybe they know my usage patterns.
>>55401727
They must be getting the mac address or something and know the device profile. Quite likely if you have the My tmobile app or something.
>>55401742
I don't use the mytmobile tethering app, just the stock android built in one. I also have wifi tether router, which doesn't help as mentioned earlier. My online t mobile account has my device registered as a nexus 4 if it means anything. But i tethered freely for 2 years like that before they start throttling me.
>>55394384
Wat
>>55401715
no roms to fix the shit 4g though
>>55401943
Yea I tried way back that LTE 4g modem you could flash on the Nexus 4 but I assume it was all bullshit and if true only a very limited number. Great device though despite that.
>>55401863
Yea it sounds like they upped there game on the tethering department so they know more than they used to.
>>55401979
Well they beefed up their tracking last year actually. I just figured that with all these people supposedly having success with WiFi tether router that i must be doing something wrong or missing something somewhere.
Noob here, is there any apps that can help me get started on using swap so i can boost this 1gb RAM tablet that i have?
>>55401651
Because it's pointless on a 64 GB phone
Is there ever a "right" time to get an iPhone?
Do I wait until the next iPhone iteration to get the 6s?
I'd like to invest in one and stay with it for at least 2 years (not being screwed by updates or whatever).
>>55402967
64 GB is baby storage
>>55403116
6s plus was pretty perfect if you've grown up and don't want to sit around flashing roms all day like the aspies.
Is there any recent Android phone with keyboard that isn't the priv?
I really don't want it, maybe there's something else coming up with one?
>>55403947
more android blackberry's later this year
Why does my OPO battery suck dick?
On related note, what phones out there have good batter life?
>>55404008
any high-end ones with keyboards?
>>55404020
Supposed to be mid tier candybar. I have a priv and love it though. Big screen and a keyboard whenever I want it.
>>55404009
Fuck off faggot, go ask leddit
>>55404071
I've got no excuse for it, but why are you so triggered?
Anyone know of an app I can use to see which bands my phone is using for its connection at different places? Like some bands are only available in city areas etc.
I tried ''LTE Discovery' but it doesn't show bands for my network (Docomo).
>>55401181
Please?
There has to be some phone, I'll even go 5.5" if I have to.
I want smartphones to become the umpc.
For now I need apk tool, apksigner, notepad++ and ms paint on Android.
With 4gig ram, you should be able to run FL studio with vsts. Android needs a desk app on smartphone and tablets. Needs to be multitasking too. I want to listen to streaming movies while I browse or see a small screen.
>>55400253
>>55400188
anyone else care to chime in?
>>55404219
okay
>>55404255
Axon 7
>>55401668
How bad is that device?
>>55392824
God damn I want to replace my 6S Plus but I can't find any shop that sells the Mi Max 128gb variant.
>>55394546
>>55398387
False alarm, bundle campaign already ended.
Will the OnePlus VR ever get restocked?
>>55405984
Phones that don't have 4k screens will have a meh vr experience
>>55406221
Fuck me, the campaign ended just a few days ago. Well thanks, I suppose I'll just wait for a new bundle or something.
But its monday already, and it's not boring!
>requesting purchasing advice:
I am looking for a phone [is using spoilers on boards where they dont exist still considered funny?]for my girlfriend[/is using spoilers on boards where they dont exist still considered funny?]. While she is not an absolute retards or something, this still means that it must be useable out of the box and get good manufacturer support for quite a while. So no ricing or custom roms.
Is there anything at all in android land? Or should I just forget it, and get an iphone?
All the other stuff (CPU, fuckhuge screen, etc) is useless bullshit. It only has to be robust and have a long battery life. Carrier doesn't matter (>2016 >buying phones from carrier) and bands are EU bands (>no CDMA cancer needed).
And budget is kinda low, because otherwise I might as well just get an iphone.
>>55406221
There is literally only one phone that has a 4k screen.
>>55394058
>So does a smaller-screen Android phone worth buying exist?
>I'm talking like, 4,7"-5,2",
>smaller screen
>4.7"
fuck, I'm getting old. Is that considered small nowadays? I'm very happy with my sub-4" N9 and Q10
>galaxy s7 arrived
>has a free OTG adapter with it
nice.
>>55406492
>free
yeah, right
>>55406536
What do you mean?
What's the best rootable phone at the moment? Need to replace my old Nexus.
>>55406560
well, it's pretty expensive phone
>>55406492
Should've just bought the Apple iPhone 6S Plus instead.
