So now that dust has settled, should I buy the Oneplus 3? I mean the ZTE Axon looks good, but it isn't released, most likely it will have no updates and for sure no dev support. I think waiting for the new nexus phones, but where I live they will have the same price as a S7, like they always did. Is there any better phone to look forward in the next week, available right now, or should I just pull the trigger today on Oneplus 3. Dev support is very important for me btw.
>>
>>55554304
Nah it's a gimped phone with an ancient 1080p LCD screen and no msd. 128GB msd cards are going to hit $20 soon, you won want to miss out especially since the cloud has been confirmed a huge meme.

So what should I buy now? The flagships are way too expensive, and I really need a new phone, since my current Sony Xperia Z lags like hell, overheats constantly (you could fry an egg on it) and the battery doesn't hold up for 2 hours on a full charge.

I currently have the Lumia Icon and once Dec. comes I'm going to have to upgrade to a newer more current phone.
I love to OS, but Verizon doesn't have too many Windows Phones for me to upgrade to, so I'm reluctantly thinking about getting a good Android phone. But I know next to nothing about them other than the very few I looked at a like 5 years ago.
Anyone know whats a stylish, flagship android phone with good reviews that'll come out sometime between now and Dec.?

How i understand it there's the mi series, the redmi series and the redmi note series (like there's a mi 3, a redmi 3 and redmi note 3). Some of them have a pro version, which is usually the one to get, because SD CPU and memory card.
Then there's others like the Note Pro and the mi Max, don't really know where all of these fit in.

Out of curiosity: what do you guys do with your "old phones" when you upgrade. I hate to just chuck my 5X in the trash since it's not even a year old, but it's been problematic enough that I intend to replace it this fall when more SD820 devices land.

GAAH I really can't decide what phone to get!

I keep all my music on my phone, but I usually only have about 5-10gb of it, so it's not really a problem for me.

>>
>>55556977
Just search for comparison videos.

There is that guy called L BS who does good comparison reviews.

The Axon 7 is only good for its stereo speakers, good mic and general sound quality.

In anything else, it is worse than the OP3, not even talking about the community behind it.
>>
>>55557006
>>55556956
The only thing that bothers me is that since it's PenTile, is text going to be grainy? I want my display to be as color accurate as possible, so now I don't have to worry about that.

As for the display size, it feels perfect to me (have on OPO), and wouldn't mind a bigger screen if one of my future phones came with one.

It would be nice if they would also release the Nubia Z11 (with the respective LTE bands) in Europe.

It is less bulky than the Axon 7, has a lower resolution, meaning better battery life, and better gaming.

Sold this for the OP3. Nexus 6P was just a giant phone. Nice overall and no lag. But I can tell that this OP3 is just that much faster. Plus quick charging or "rapid" charging on the 6P doesn't compete with OP3s meme dash charging.
>>
>>55556873
Bad display, the sRBG update won't fix the pentile matrix.
Mediocore battery and cam bump.
Software is an issue, no matter what they say, it's still OnePlus.
No sandstone back.
I'd have to spend 399 for the phone + ca. 40 for package with sandstone back + silver bullets = 440€
If that phone didn't have its flaws, no question, its a no brainer to buy it, but not like this.

Hey guys, i used to have an OPO but i broke it in half at job, so i'm looking for a better one. It must have/be :
>around 350~400€
>a good front facing cam (the focus on the OPO is pig disgusting)
>a battery that last more than one fucking day
A plus would be as big as the OPO, and a SD slot

Thank you in advance, lads, i owe you for a lot of stuff

Redmi Note 4 will have the Helio P10, the Note 4 Pro will have the SD652 and, apparently, a 5.7'' screen.

guys, I'm trying to decide what phone to buy,

Nexus 6p
iphone 6s
iphone 6s plus
htc 10
galaxy s7
galaxy s7 edge
oneplus 3


3/4 of my cellphones have broken from being dropped and the other 1/4th is from being dropped in water.

I care a lot about screen brightness, battery life, data speed, and picture quality. Loud speakers are nice too.

I've been an iphone fag all my life, but I'm getting tired of using itunes, the istore, and the icloud they're all so shitty. I love google drive (sign me up for the botnet pls).

Any ideas other than to kill myself?

Heyoo, i'm looking for a good Android phone without much or any notable bloatware in the 250 or so price range. Is a Moto G plus the best option? The additions of a fingerprint scanner / quickcharger are nice, the battery itself has to be of decent size aswell.

Note 3 is a much better choice.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OEK6TWU

It's already less than $300 and should reach the $250 price range soon.

What's good about this phone is better SoC, more RAM. slightly bigger battery, better camera, and removable battery you can upgrade up to 10,000 mAh.

Moto g is officially now a joke and/or meme.

someone already said in previous thread that it's gonna be in stock next month
>>
>>55558258
Except you can't get it from a trusted vendor who also has it in stock for less than 180€.

Also it doesn't have LTE 800MHz, which is the most used LTE band for outside big cities here.

>>55559099
oh nevermind, thought you were talking about the redmi note 3 pro

That was me. According do the only carrier that sells them they should be back in stock at the start of next month, though they'll likely be sold out pretty quick again.

>>55559114
This, you can just buy it directly from Oneplus's webpage.

Thank god for this thread.
Im poorfag and desperately need help.
Im in need of a smartphone that is both cheap but can handle pokemon go. Which means ill be needing:
1 gig of ram at the minimum
android 4.4 and up or alternatively an iphone 5 and up (i think i cant afford iphone 5)
the carrier is gonna be O2 but i think thats not important (?) because im going to use my own sim card (?!)
You guys are my last hope because im really unable to find anything and i have no clue of smartphones.
Please help a poorfag out.

So I'm broke and my S4 Mini just kicked the bucket.

Been looking at phones and now I'm stuck between the OnePlus X and the OnePlus 2 and I'm leaning more towards the OnePlus X. Maybe you guys have more options I should consider?

My criteria are
>small phone ie 5" screen max
>physical home button
>10 MP or better rear cam
>5 MP or better face cam
>manual mode for camera
>US$300 max
>>
>>55559346
Both phones are dogshit and those prices mean you have to be constantly be bombarded with ads and have 0 hope for getting root.
>>
>>55559575
Not really, if you can afford it, the One Plus X is great.
Has MicroSD, good battery for only 5 inches, SD801, but then again, few people are into really demanding games.
Depending on where you buy it, you may find the Xiaomi Mi5 for $300.

And no, avoid the OnePlus 2 due to SD810.

My S4 is driving me fucking crazy with this storage shit. Something is eating up the internal storage of my device. I used SD Maid, and there's only about 2 GB's worth of data actually residing in it. No idea where the rest of my data is going.

Recommendations for non-bloatware alternatives to stock ROM? I've heard this makes a big difference.

Can I ask about smart phone plans here?

Currently my family is on Verizon, we have 1 smart phone and 3 dumb phones. We pay around $130 for 500mb shared data.

If we switch to T-Mobile we can get 4 free phones and 6GB of data per phone for $120.

Is there any reason not to switch?
>>
>>55554850
Just Google the latest premium APK.
>>
>>55559718

Ahahahahaha. is that standard American pricing or did this anon just got fucked? I pay $12.95 a month for 10gb data/month with unlimited calls and text here in Asia.
>>
>>55559828
T-Mobile's been good to me. I recommend you switch. Plus you're likely to get BingeOn. You can watch Netflix and YouTube without having it count towards your data cap. Also, unlimited music streaming for apps like Spotify if your family uses that. I will admit that Verizon has superior coverage however. But unless you live out in the boonies you should be OK.
>>
>>55559906
I think that might just be a terrible old plan, considering you can do something like 5GB/mo for like $85 or something on Verizon.
>>
>>55559906
>>55559974
We are on an old plan. I think the newer one is slightly better, but not by much. We are on the lowest data plan, but we have 4 lines so that is what makes it so expensive.

>>55559888
>>55559959
I think I will probably switch then. I am in northeast Ohio and the coverage map looks good. I was really surprised when I was looking at the plan, because I thought it was 6GB shared, but then I saw it was per phone.
>>
>>55559759
Checked all the caches and cleared them. Default storage manager still lists 6 GB used up as "misc. files".
>>
>>55559805
>Does that moto g even have a gyroscope

Don't be stupid pretty much every phone has a gyroscope.
>>
>>55559828
Get on Boost, its the best for family plans or if you're by yourself.

Unlimited high speed data + 8GB of free mobile hotspot: $55/month

2GB high speed data then unlimited data at 2G speeds for 5 on family plan: $95/month or $19/person

OR

Unlimited high speed data + 8GB of free mobile hotspot for 5 on family plan: $220/month or $44/person

Everyone gets their own data on family plans, no sharing BS.

>>55559742
Looked into it, I usually keep a spare battery just in case shit ever hits the fan while I'm out doing something, and the A5 seems to make it completely irremovable. Deal breaker.

>>55559641
I don't have an iPhone. LG build and software quality is just an utter garbage

G4 is having problems with SoC connectors (causing bootloop), random battery drains and overheating during normal UI tasks, touchscreen and notification LED issues, the phone suddenly starts charging very slowly at some point, and many minor software bugs that are just retarded on a flagship.
>>
>>55560176
Nexus 5X is much better at everything except build quality (plastic vs metal). Decide.

Axon 7 or oneplus 3

>Redmi 3s Pro. the battery alone is worth it.
I think I'll fall for the note. Also, I think there is no "3s Pro", just 3S.

btw, I found a Meizu MX4 Pro for 122€, but on that store. I must wait a week or so to get some money, so I'll check it again.

Yes there is.

The note is 5.5", which is why I suggested the vanilla Redmi 3.
