Shit guys, my lg g2 is getting slow, but I don't wanna switch.

I just can't leave those buttons on the back. It's too comfy. I would get the g4, but I'm on Verizshit so the bootloader is locked.

You think it's worth it to switch carriers to get the g4? I just want vanilla android and those buttons on the back. Shame nobody else puts the buttons there.

If that's a crappy idea, nexus or moto x pure?

I jumped on the bandwagon and got the Redmeme Note 3 Pro, its perfect but uh...

I can't get adaway to get past the 'applying hosts file' stage, it always crashes before it can finish. I tried it using systemless supersu and xposed on Mokee and Pajeet CM13 and it shits itself everytime. It works fine for me on MIUI roms though.

I'm tried changing permissions but even that ends up crashing the phone, I'd ask on XDA but other's have asked and all they get is 'werks for me :)'.

My priorities are:
- clean, as vanilla as possible OS that will see at least 2 years of continuous updates
- battery life to get me through a day easily
- good and fast gps
- sturdiness, able to take a hit

Performance is necessary but I'm not one that bitches at a little lag every now and then as long as the phone does not hang on me - my current phone is a Moto G first gen and it's getting sluggish.

I genuinely hate thin phones, the Moto G feels perfect in the palm of my hand and its curved plastic back serves as a great crash-protection.

I was looking at:

- Moto X Play
- Moto G4
- Maybe One Plus 2

Which would be the best phone, given my priorities? The One Plus 2 would be pushing my budget. I can probably reach for 350€ at best but I'd rather stick to under 300€. Or is it worth it shooting for a One Plus 3 and calling it a day?

I like the 1+3 but 400€ for a phone would make me routinely paranoid. My Moto G has been in the snow, sand, water, searing hot sun, squished between keys and sharp zippers, dropped multiple times... - still completely fine and I didn't think much of it since it was like 170€

Hey!
It's my first post here in /g/, recommend me a new phone.

I'm a massive Windows Phone fan, I just love the tile setup, and the clarity of it. I'm using it for about 5 years now, and I'm not really up to date in new smartphones.

But lately I got fed up with the lack of updates and the WP10 shit, so it's time to swap.

I would like to get an android phone, but I have a quite refined taste in phones after living with windows phones, I dont like complicated menus and all that shit.

Also considered an iPhone 6, and I like it, but it's overpriced, so only android left.

Budget is quite loose, but I would top it around $350.

Thanks in advance!
>>
Thinking about switching my iphone 6+ for an LG G5. I'm just tired of iPhones and their lack of SD cards, and general modularity that android phones have.
>>
>>55461011
Why did you consider the iphone 6 if your budget was 350?
>>

>but it's overpriced
Its expensive, but its worth the money.

You literally cannot buy an iPhone and say 'i overpaid for this'
>>
>>55461001
I was just reading up on it and...
>better camera
sadly it's exactly the same even with the higher mp count

>more RAM
that would have sold me over, but then I found out it's only on the models with more RAM, which are not avaivable in Europe afaik.

>fingerprint
cool but not my thing

I guess I can safely just buy the G4 though. Or the X Play since it has a bigger battery. Decisions, decisions.
>>
>>55461057
>>55461060

I want to buy a second Android device, which should be as cheap as possible. It doesn't need to be a high end device, however it should have all the basic features. I thought about getting one of the cheap Amazon Fire tablet when it was only 50€, but I didn't get it then because of the horrible display resolution and the lack of Bluetooth and GPS.

I would buy one of the chink devices, as I order much stuff from China anyway, but the device should have support from one of the major custom roms. I don't trust the chink Android versions and also want to have software updates in the future. Any recommendations?

My M8 got stolen about three months ago, so I've been using my Nexus 4 from 2013. It performs amazingly well, better than most other phones I see, and it's beautiful, but the camera is garbage and the battery is just decent on Marshmallow. Future-proof wise, It's pretty much the best purchase I've ever made, but I'm definitely gonna switch it for this year's nexus when it comes out.
I don't believe I'd buy one now, but I'm having absolutely no problems using mine daily until I change it in October.

Only ZTE is. Look for verified purchase reviews on amazon for all that other chinkshit and will will most likely find 0. That should be your warning to stay away from non-ZTE chinkshit brands.

I was tempted by the Huawei P9L but three things stopped me:
- gotta get a nano sim, cba (I know, my fault here)
- no gyro (at the price, I'd want a gyro. It's a small detail but I want my pokeymans.)
- I am completely unsure of what the software support will be one year from release. I wouldn't be surprised if it ran like shit.

So far, for the price, the Huawei P9L beats all competition and is ahead of its pricepoint.
>>
>>55462841
Depends on the brand. small, no name companies e.g. Ulefone, ZTE, Oukitel are shit.

Bigger companies are better. Huawei, Xioami, , OPPO, Leeco are deent.

No, it has a newer SoC.

Other than that it's identical to the R3.

http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/xiaomi-redmi-3-pro,xiaomi-redmi-3s-3gb-32-gb

Redmi 3s (SD430) is based on a newer manufacturing process, has a newer GPU, has more LTE support and should generally run cooler and more efficiently. Also, the 3S/X is based on emmc 5.1 compared to emmc 5.0 on the Redmi 3.

SD808 is faster, but ike it's bigger brother SD810 it's known to throttle heavily to avoid overheating.

It also lacks an SD slot and a fingerprint reader, and has smaller battery.
It's also an older model and Mi5c is probably launching soon anyway.

It's still a good phone if you want better performance on the cheap though. N5X and G4 with the same SoC cost almost double than the 16gb Mi4c.

I'd go with 3s Pro because it's more future proof. I don't do gaymin or heavy stuff on my phone so 38k antutu performance will be enough for my casual use. (browsing/music/4chin etc).

Also, battery life is incredible.
http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3 (#5 overall).

That being said, camera, screen and performance is better on the Mi4c so if your'e playing lots of gaymin and emulators and shit it will be better for you.

Or wait a month or 2 for the Mi5c.

Nexus_5_(1).jpg
517 KB, 995x784
Hey guys, I need some advice. I used to have a Google Nexus 5 a couple of years back and I forget what happened to it, but I don't have it anymore. Point is, I have a worse phone now (ASUS Zenfone 2e), or at least it feels worse because I remember having virtually no problems with the Nexus 5 performance-wise. I've been thinking of maybe picking up a new phone, but I'm wondering if there's anything else good for ~$200 that I could pick up since the Nexus 5 is a bit outdated now. Do you guys have any recommendations? I live in the US and don't really have any preference for carrier, just as long as they're cheap (and I could pay monthly no contract).

Hence the second link. Activate your brain lad I don't know what shit bands your non-standard telcos use.

>>55466964
Not really, they have every phone I searched for.
Click connectivity on the bottom and pick the 3G/4G bands on your carrier.
Also, no one gives a shit usb-c.

In fact, you can even filter by brand, so you unlist every chink brand or select only the ones you want.

Anybody here have the Xiaomeme Meme Max?

After looking into it further, would a Galaxy 4S be a good starter phone, even if it is a few years old?

convince me not to buy a s7e

>>55467153
You mean Galaxy S4, and, well.. If you could at least get the S5 it would be much much better.
>>
>>55467224
So go for an S5, but if it's not possible an S4 is still a good alternative?

I'm looking at plans right now and they're possibly doable. S4 definitely possible, S5 I need to check other carriers for plans.

Thanks for you help so far with everything.

Semi newfag to android customization, whats the best web browser in your opinion? I am using Chrome because my phone came with it but ive been looking at Firefox because all those plugins from the desktop version make my dick hard.

And for phone security is it really just Greenify, App Locker, AdAway, Xprivacy, Boot Manager and AfWall+? Fyi my phone is rooted so any kind of app is welcome.
