Why am I so attracted to the idea of a smaller, lighter phone that just gets out of the way after years of using Android phablets?
>>
Because you're a faggot.

5 inches is the perfect size, unless you're a girl.

because you're a nigger

Because as you're getting older, you feel the need for streamlined products that just work. You are willing to pay a premium for a phone that is fast and secure. You also want regular, long-term updates.

There's a point at which you just say "well, I have a phone that has higher specs than that one computer I used to make stupid shit on photoshop and premiere pro, can't I just have something that works fast by default and doesn't need any fucking tinkering?"

Nowadays I'm not sure I'd go the apple way, but it does get kinda tiring to get a product, be it hardware of software and learn that it's not complete, it's not done, not consistent, needs a fix, needs to be modified or some stupid shit, doesn't work smoothly because it's unoptimized, etc. You want tools that have been there for long, you want them to work exactly as they should for long enough that you won't care.

I'd rather get a device you can't tinker with if it's going to provide what I want out of the box than have something where I just installed a new CM ROM and suddenly my battery is dropping faster by doing exactly the same tasks. Or have google go all "oh hey, there's another version of Lollipop that starts with the letter S and has the same fucking interface, just a few new features and less stability, go flash that real quick". Even the newest Android phones are sometimes better off with older versions.

I still feel it's overpriced though, but for sure I would replace what I have with that if I could. I don't care about having to use iTunes to transfer shit, as it happens in my case I don't tinker too much with the phone in the first place. I just want something fast and stable.

If you don't give two fucks about:

-root
-apps without store
-a certain philosophy that prevent you to use a lockdown OS

People spam that webm and some other ones all the time. That's all the proof they have of "iOS lag".

I've toyed with iphones before and the only times something like this happened was when running some broken beta (I volunteered).

Just press the home button and continue doing whatever you've been doing. The iOS betas have never had a bug which would prevent you from using your phone as intended.

I have a bone stock Moto G LTE running Lollipop and getting Maps to come up and show directions takes minutes, if the app doesn't crash or freeze the whole fucking phone. You shouldn't need a Snapdragon 820 + 3GB of RAM for basic apps to work and be responsive.
>>
>>53679483
It's good no crash, low battery use.
This is not your usual rom because there is no real changes in the user space.
IT has F-droid by default but you can install google services.
It has good support for nexus 5 now so we have all the security patches. It's pretty good so far.
When I have time I may read in-depth what it actually changes under the hood.

Their work is sometimes pushed upstream in aosp, I think they really try to improve android security,
and they're doing a good job at that.

Good. When the 6 came out I bought a 5S to upgrade from my 5. I don't want a fucking streamlined phone which slips in my hand while I'm out. I don't want a phone which is too large for comfortable one handed use. Stop with the hand size shit, if there's this many complaints at size then it was an issue, otherwise that would mean about 40% of the population are dwarfs.

The 5S was the pinnacle of Apple's phone design, I was thinking I'd have to hold onto my 5S forever but I'm glad I can still have the same form factor with current year internals.
>>
>>53675901
At first I was confused why they didn't include their newest revolution - aka force touch. But it's obvious that they had a shitton of leftover panels and needed to get rid of them.

Apple is just too cheap to get rid of old assembly lines that made the iPhone 5 and later variations.

Now they restuffed the tired old body of their 4 incher with new guts and saved a lot of money in the process.

They are kikes to the extreme, only innovating and spending money when they have no other choice. Cook can only ride the coattails of previous achievements for so long.

not calling you a liar but that sounds like bullshit to me. I wouldn't buy one because I'd rather get an LG G3 at that price point, but I really doubt the battery blows up, and the camera should be enough for most people. lack of warranty would be my first concern. tho desu for 500 dollars you'll probably be able to get an nexus 6p by the time the SE comes out so fuck that shit.

Blows in the sense of sucking, no need to get explosive here.

>and the camera should be enough for most people
Enough yes but a lot people care about a "good phone" camera and iPhones just deliver here, and the difference is pretty noticeable even if you don't care too much.

> 500 dollars you'll probably be able to get an nexus 6p by the time the SE comes out
Sure but it's still slower and has worse camera. The only upside is that you don't have to mess with the usual Android bloat or worry about updates. A big deal if you want to stay on Android, pretty irrelevant for somebody who couldn't care less about the OS if it works like me.

Because their marketing department goes to shit when Jobs isn't there to hold their hand.

For what you paid for that base model iphone from 2010 you could have bought an s6 or a moto x. Or a hundred other android devices that have way better specs than that POS.

Enjoy pecking at that tiny little screen that's only 0.5 inches bigger that the first iphone.

Apple products just work, until they don't.

I'd much rather have the option to fix my phone and keep it up to date myself.

if you're interested in buying an iPhone SE, i'd suggest waiting for the iPhone 7 in September.

since the SE has good specs, it reeks of an Apple stopgap model to prepare people for the 4" form factor to returning to the flagship lineup in some way (e.g. iPhone 7 in 4", 4.6", and 5.5").

For a stupid retarded price too. Price is the most amazing thing about SE, size is only secondary.
>>
>>53694869
>specs
All of them get btfo by 6s, whether it's benchmarks or real use. SE has lower resolution, so the difference will be even more extreme.

Sure, rose gold is pretty gay but it's the fastest phone you can buy for 500 bucks that will get replaced if you're dumb enough to drop it.

Not half as bad.

Aaah my sweet Apple.

Too many insanely great secret products that will amaze and change paradigms, but year after year, all we get is a new paint job on old designs.

80+ thousand employees doing what exactly?
>>
>>53688779
that was pretty much exactly what apple said.

40% of their user base was still on a 4in phone and they kept receiving feedback from users on why they're not interested in upgrading to the iphone 6 was predominantly due to not wanting a phone bigger than 4in's.

so much freed back that up until the se they were still selling the 5s because of demand for a 4in phone.

so they listen to feedback. the released a 4in iphone with the guts of their flagship and went one step further and released it at an affordable price tag.

only complaint i agree with is the fragmentation. not due to the se, but due to apple still producing and selling first generation 6 iphones. right now its se, 6, 6+, 6s, 6s+. they should get rid of the 6 since it serves zero purpose now. keep it se, 6s, 6s+.
>>
>>53696991
>old designs
as apple said, it was the large amount of feedback they kept receiving as to why they kept the iphone 5s case.

people loved the design.

Apple giving users more choice than Android, this is the toppest of keks and Googlebots will still complain.
>>
>>53697056
I like the design too (use a iPhone 5), but they could have updated it.

Apple wanted to reuse the existing production tooling/assembly lines and create a lower tier entry point for places like India, who want to buy into Apple but find it expensive
>>
>>53697186
You make it sound like it's a bad thing, our Indian friends get dirt cheap A9. We get dirt cheap A9. Apple gets even more jewgold.

The regular 6/6s is the ideal size.

Ive owned a Nexus 5 since launch. Only recently have I switched to the 6p, not because it became unusable, but because I wanted a larger phone. The Nexus phones last longer than iPhones. I also owned a 4s that had severe slowdown after a year and a half

A huge piece of shit from Google, two huge pieces of shit from Samsung, a gigantic one from LG and some retardedly huge from HTC that looks like the huge shit from Google. Did I miss something? There are also couple huge ass chink phones you have to import. Ah right, there is even Sony who can't figure out how to write a camera app since the first Xperia.

Two years down the line only the huge piece of shit from Google will get updates on time.

Since it's a post posted by me, I think it's given that it should display my personal perspective, and as somebody who wants to buy a phone and not a tablet, obviously they are pretty shit for me.

But I don't want to hurt any feelings, so let me say that objectively they aren't that bad. They simply don't offer any different screen options. Through entire Android spectrum, about 7-10 flagships, there is a single phone that offers small screen size.

Pretty baffling, really.
>>
>>53688779
Yea Samsung also listened to their consumers with the Galaxy s7 with making a thicker phone for battery and SD card slot.
Something feels weird here, companies aren't supposed to be so benevolent. The end of times is near my friend.

>>53694722
Which one senpai? Can't really think of too many 4.5" phones.
>>
>>53695214
You can't really use that as an argument anymore when 90% of Android flagships don't have removable batteries either.

Huaweifag here. Hate my phone. Lags like shit. Not too long ago was getting my phone out of pocket to make a call. Unlocked it, literally desktop froze and all dwsktop icons including menu disappeared. Waited around 3 mins started raging and restarted phone, which took another 3mins even when have zero startup apps. Browser crashes almost everytime, especially when theres a bit complex and medium, heavy image based websites. it is pretty often happens that my keyboard wont show up until i reopen sms app or browser 5 times. Yup, thats me having single core cpu paired with 0.5gb ram. Truly cancerous experience

Ah, too bad, because I'm looking for an Android phone of around that size and there really isn't much, Moto E which is too low spec, S5 Mini where people complain about freezing and many other issues, Z3 Compact where people complain about glass cracking by itself that isn't replaced under warranty, and Z5 Compact which is too expensive.
