Have a One m7, camera is shit, wont charge, kill me.
Looking for something to replace it. Prefer small phone. Looking at Z5/Z3 compact. Is the Z5 worth the difference from the Z3C? Also looking at N5X at $230 as well. Under $400 cheaper is better. What do. US btw.
are chinkshit phones actually good? like the build quality and stuff
Should I wait for the next Nexus phone or just get the 6p. USB going bad on my Nexus 6

If anyone can drop something similar for >$200 that'd be pretty top notch.

As for the carrier I would recommend Boost if you have sprint coverage where you live else look for another phone. I have them and use 50-70GB a month of mobile data and only pay $55/month. Speeds aren't too bad either, I get 8-12mbps at least where I live.
What rom to install on redmi note 3 pro?

Carrier: Sprint
Price: Cheap, under $200 would be good.
Features needed: LTE would be great since it's finally in her area.
Size: Doesn't matter too much. Maybe around 5" or so?
>>55448875
If your budget is that much then wait for the nexus. They will probably release one larger and smaller one again this year, so you should go with the larger one for the better specs.
>>55448862
xperia compact phones are nice, but expensive
>>55448492
Nexus
Moto X Pure/Style ONLY if it's significantly cheaper.
I have the moto x and it's a great phone but it's fragile and since the motorola sale to lenovo their support has been horrible. It's a great device but the company sucks and at this point we don't even know if we're going to get android n officially. Luckily, there is a very large aftermarket developer scene so you will get updates in the form of custom roms.
If you can though, go for the nexus. It's basically better than the moto x in every way with the exception of moto features.

Hello Rajeesh, shit on any streets today?

moto g 3rd gen.
Comes with nice and clean stock android so it shouldn't slow down at all due to a shitty carrier skin.
Moto G3 or Redmi Note 3 Pro?
The latter has better specs but I'm dubious about this MIUI business.
>>55449161
The redmi phones face the same issues that samsung phones face, with decent hardware but an incredibly invasive and taxing android skin that makes the performance of the phone lag and slow over time.
Not to mention the fact that all the chink phones are trying to emulate an iOS-like experience instead of embracing android.
Moto g will probably also have more developer support on sites like xda for rooting/custom roms.

There's a reason why all that shit is contained in a general. And that general is filled with gearbest salesman, "independant" reviewers. It's such a red flag.
Get something from a notable brand next time, hope you've learned your lesson.
>>55449044
>so you can put pirated music into itunes without jailbreak?

>>55449345
>>55449348
>>55449390
To be fair there are some reliable chink brands that have a few phones that aren't shit (ie zte warp elite) but they are diamonds on the rough. In general you should stick with notable non-chink brands or research a chinkphone yourself and read the legitimate reviews such as the "purchase verified" ones on amazon.
NEVER buy chinkshit outside of Amazon unless you want to get ripped off as those 3rd party websites are known for having fake reviews.
>>55449304
Release cycle is every September. SE was the exception because it is a "budget" spinoff model. 7 is just going to be a natural evolution from the 6S, but it'll appeal to the "muh megapixels" crowd and it comes in Space Black. If you're in the iPhone market now and have the bank for something new, there's no question. If you can hold off, wait for the 2017 model.
>>55449421
i'm planning ahead but september sounds doable, i wasnt planning on buying anything for at least another month anyway
>>55449417
Yeah, ZTE seems to be the only chinkbrand that actually delivers. But they are pretty notable for selling dirt cheap Prepaid (pay as you go) phones for pretty much any carrier.
>>55449515
>>55449491
Sorry if I sound like a shill but they do have okay flagship phones they sell that don't get enough attention imho.
They have the Axon 7 which seems like it will offer good bang for the buck
http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_axon_7-8067.php
They also have the Axon pro but lacks a microsd slot so it will turn many people away. Anyway according to verified purchase reviews it looks like it's a good phone.

Maybe I should kill myself
>>55449905
If it's the same price get it from motorola so you can customize it.
If amazon is cheaper and you don't care about customization then order it from there. I ordered my moto x from some other retailer also and in the beginning I regretted not customizing it but I use a case all the time anyway so you can't see the back.
>>55449927

Can be had for under 150USD. I've had mine for 3 years, replaced the battery three times over those years. It's easy enough you just need 5 minutes and a small screwdriver. No sd card is a fault. But for that amount of money you have to compromise somewhere.

Doesn't have a mSD slot which is a fatal flaw imho. Samsung just release a 256GB microsd card recently and you can already buy it on amazon.
>>55452540
Android's SD handling has gotten to the point where it's almost not worthwhile bothering with it.
>>55452573
What do you mean? People put apps on their internal and use the mSD for movied, music, torrents, tv shows, usb storage, ect.
>>55452540>>55452540
Doesn't seem like a viable answer , microSD is the least of my worries, with the new update to the RAM management, this phone seems legit..but I've always loved my notes and nexus phones. Want one I can just speedily do whatever that's not a weird branded lightweight plastic toy..
>>55452606
So you just like getting cucked and want "pretty" phones? Why not just get an ifag phone you cocksucker?
Are chinkphones good?
>>55452622
Only trust ZTE and buy from Amazon and read verified purchase reviews ONLY.
You can gamble your money on other brands but expect things to go wrong.
>>55452621
Don't bother, these OPO shills are really fucking persistent.
OP3 arriving in 36~ hours.
Apart from the fingerprint sensor taking up battery and poor video stabilization, what are the actual bad parts of this phone? Non-owners need not reply.
All of the speed tests put it right on par with the S7 and 6S. Obviously it lacks behind in game loading and performance than the aforementioned devices but that's to be expected on a 400$ phone.
What's your favorite features and what really bugs you or is a downside? Most importantly how is battery life? I use my phone heavily for most of the day. Note 4 gets around 3 hours battery time at which point its either find a charger or enjoy 15 more minutes of usage.
did I dun goofed /g/? (price is AUD funbux, so ignore it being so high)
Has any Aussie's here bought a LTE Axon 7 or any of the Xiaomi Redmi 3's/Note's? Curious how they actually perform since most Chink phones don't support Band28 aka Telstra and Optus/Virgin's main 4G band.
>>55453104
Redmi Note 3 Pro works fine on Vodafone. Too bad it's not a good phone like the banggood/gearbest sales representatives want you to believe.
The flash access speed is a fucking joke, it might be fast for sustained reads, but IOP writes are in the single digits.
Ok,seriously is the LG G3 worth in 2016 if am on a budget?I mainly use my phone for internet browsing,taking pictures and videos and listening to music and I heard the battery life isn't even an issue if you're not glued on it all the time.The resolution and camera are a big pro for me.
OP3 or non-edge S7?
I'd pick the latter, but the price is pretty bad, and it probably won't get CM support. OP3 is better in both categories, but is a bit too wide for my use case, and there won't be any battery cases for it.
why is there hardly any good flagship phones at 5inches? Fuck 5.5 meta.
>>55447785
Is anyone else interested in the Phab 2 Pro?
>>55453448
I mean, you have the s7, arguably one of the best phones ever made.
Also the mi5.

I use a G3. Bought it two years ago. Great phone, battery last me a day and I stream audio in car. If I use maps I need to hook it up though.
Photos are good, browsing is good, screen is good. The angles when looking at screen are not so great. It kinda sucks outside too.

I haven't used Tinder before but due to current events I'm thinking about giving it a go.
However, I don't use Google services on my main phone and don't want to start.
Is it feasible to have a SIMless phone with just the basic shit that I need for Tinder, and to email or text grills from my main phone later kn? Can an old Nexus S even run Tinder?
>>55453954
It's not advanced modelling software, it'll run on a potato. If you need a simcard, just buy a burner and never use it. Don't understand why you want to jump through all these hoops though familam. You've already missed the tinder golden era.
>>55454031
Gotcha.
What would be a more current alternative? I'm in Germany if that matters and I want qt white grills.
>>55454031
Oh and hoops because I don't want it to be connected to my personal stuff. I try to minimize my digital footprint, encrypt my mail and texts, don't use Google services at all anymore where the usage could be connected to me.
HTC One M8s or HTC One A9 ? Please help, I can't decide.
>>55454047
>What would be a more current alternative? I'm in Germany if that matters and I want qt white grills.
Maybe go back to Syria and fight for your country?
Seriously though no idea about Germany. Here in Aus tinder is full of bots, and many of its old features cost money now. People still use it but not as much as say 2 years ago.
>>55447785
who here /constantly waiting for the new nexus line until it's not shit?/
>>55454228

Why do all these flagship phones have garbage fucking battery life? How do chinkphones manage to have huge batteries and 50% longer screen on time?
Looking to replace my shitty Wileyfox Storm with a refurbished LG G4 off aliexpress.
I really like the camera and the power of the Storm, but the battery life is fucking terrible, the led for the back key barely works and it gets so hot when I play games on it, is the LG G4 a good upgrade?
Oh, I live in the UK and I'm on the Tesco/O2 network atm, and only really use my phone to browse the internet and play some games when I'm stuck in the car for an hour or so.
>>55454415
I have a ZTE T815 which cost me $14 from Coles and it gets easy 2 week standby battery life or 7h SOT from a tiny 1200mAh battery.
What is currently the best custom ROM for Galaxy Note 4 T-Mobile?
I used to have a Wifi cracking app and a Public sniffer app on my old phone but forgot the names. Anybody here know them?
new nexus phones when? who will be the manufacturer? any more info?
>>55452765
I give you one week of usage before post your sour grapes here because the >3000mAh battery fails to take you to even fucking midday.
/spg/ hates RN3P now, what happened?
>>55455159
Trump voters hate chinkshit.
>>55455159
It's too popular now.
Welcome to 4chan.
Hey spg/ i need a phone with a huge screen size, something like 5.7" but everything non shitty at that size costs more than 250 euros (i'm in Italy).
Is there any non expensive phone which offers that? Nokia phones are not an option.
Oh! moreover i have the chance to buy a Nexus 5x or a Motorola X 2014, which would you suggest me to buy?
What phone should I upgrade to /g/
Have a Note 2 currently, the battery isnt enough, I manage to drain it within a few hours with just internet browsing
I do stream videos and have some heavy battery consuming apps
>>55455225
Samsung a9 is 300€.
what's currently best 5" phone under $200 ?
I'm mainly considering mi4c and redmi 3 pro
>>55455249
>Samsung a9
Not really, it's around 500
>>55455282
Wat the fuk
okay than xiaomi mi max, it a 6.4 inches though.
>>55455378
uhm...it's around 300 though ..anything else?
>>55455159
People opened their eyes to the shilling.
/g/ never liked it, it's just shills spamming the fuck out of it making it look like there's a lot of satisfied customers.
>>55452765
the screen is pretty shit and the battery is a bit of a disappointment still a pretty good phone though
also cant you turn off the fingerprint sensor?
Just got a new phone with USB type C which means I can't use my old USB OTG cable, are there any proper USB C cabels for OTG or did I just play myself?
Lads anyone here have the Moto x force or the Moto x play?
Im starting a job that's gonna be taking me to remote locations and I want something that's gonna easily last a full day battery and can take a hit. budget is no issue. must be unlocked/International version cuz live in Eastern Europe.
thanks
>>55454575
had the g4 for over year. it's a fucking beast. fastest phone I ever used and I dropped more than a hundred times not a scratch. but battery wise it won't be much of an upgrade. in fact the battery was quite disappointing.. if im on 4g it barely lasts to the end of my work day.
>>55454575
>>55455676
almost* a year
I have an xperia go. I've dropped it tons, and only now is it starting to actually chip. The screen is still 100 % perfect. Are there still phones on the market that aren't as shitty, but have a similarly indestructible build quality?
>>55455750
you mean besides the Moto x force?
>>55455756
Yes. That one's a tad expensive. But damn if it doesn't look functional.
>>55455750
Those cheap plastic phones from your local grocery store are really resilient as fuck.
Where would I be able to buy a note 4?
I want a fuckhuge battery with quality camera
My Moto G first gen is starting to show its age, plus it's not going to get updated anymore, it seems. (Anyone tried to play Pokèmon Go with it? It hangs the whole phone, runs like shit, sigh.)
Problem is, I can't see any good phones released anymore in the 5" range, for max 300€. Am I forced to buy a fuck huge 5.5" phoneplanet? Any good suggestions in the 5" range? I'd rather avoid chinkphones, too.
>>55448492
why do you want 4k video
>>55448775
better battery life and smaller screen or bigger screen and unnecessary gimmicks your choice
Should I buy a used htc m9 for 250€? It's in good condition, I was considering a oneplus 3 but it's 120€ more and maybe it's not worth it.
>>55450872

Enjoy your fake phone
Is there any reason to buy a Redmi 3 pro instead of a Redmi Note 3?
>>55456412
No reason to buy any. The flash storage is so slow it takes minutes for each app to install or update.
If you want a chinkphone, only get a Huawei.
>>55456412
definitely, if you want a 5" instead of 5.5"
then again, there are probably better 5" like mi4c which I am going for (prolly)
>>55456431
can you provide a source for that claim?
what is all this shilling that came to /g/ lately?
>>55456479
Got one for my dad. He's a light user so I can excuse the slow flash speed, but I certainly won't want one personally.
ok what is the ultimate workhorse smart phone lads? Im talking 3500 mAh+ and can take a hit?
I'm upgrading from a 4 year old flagship. I want this new phone to also last 4 years. Battery life is important, no phablets (<=5.2"), cost can be anything. Looking at the S7, but if I want this phone to last a long time would it be a good idea to wait for the new Nexus? My only concern is the leaked speaks show a pretty small battery.
>>55456500
Define workhorse, what do you plan on doing on it?
A cheap $40 prepaid phone from your local grocery store will be sturdy simply because they're thicker with a lot of empty space in them. They will be fast enough to handle 4chan, social media and Youtube, camera of course would be terrible and try to find one with at least an IPS display.
>>55456517
I'm talking flagship or sub flagship quality. minimum 1080p resolution kind of thing. budget is not an issue. I just need a phone that's gonna last me a full work day battery and is durable as fuck.
>>55456561
Galaxy S6 or S7 Active?
There's also the Motorola X Force.
>>55456561
note 4+ 10000 mAh battery pack
>>55456585
not in the US sorry. but the Moto x force looks like a beast desu. just the kind of thing I'm looking for. any decent reviews of it? only ones on YouTube are from pajeets
Should I get widgetlocker or is there something better?
I have about 250€ and want to buy in the EU.
What should I get? Is the Zuk Z1 a decent phone?
I live in the United States, I got accepted into Cambridge so I thought I'd go cause why not.
Am I going to need a new smartphone or am I going to get raped on fees and have an obnoxious number for everyone else to call me on?
>>55457082
if you want to buy a flagship just buy a phone with a dual sim
if not then get something reliable and cheap like the Moto x pure and put your British sim in that one.
>>55457155
Oh it's that simple?
How nice, thanks anon.
>>55457025
maybe a consider a used one

desu you should rather order from a reliable shop on aliexpress than gearbest
Need some purchasing advice /spg/.
>country
Britain
>carrier
EE but am willing to change
>wanted features
I need a pretty good camera since I'm into photography and thus I need a pretty nice screen to go with it. I also need a fingerprint sensor and for the phone to be pretty speedy since I've been using my phone a lot more than usual lately. Should also mention the design of the phone is pretty important and I don't mind phones being too thick.
>budget
The sky's the limit. If I like the phone enough I'll be willing to pay for it, but let's say £800 for shits n giggles.
>size
I have pretty large hands so size shouldn't be a problem, but anything I can use easily with one hand is preferable.
I was considering the Huawei P9 or the Samsung S7 but am not to keen on the S7s design, maybe someone can give me some better options
>Tfw there will never be a perfect phone
