What's a good android phone 400$ or under that's less then 5.5 inches? I'm switching from apple and have at&t
Looking for an android phone that works on Verizon, mSD slot, and preferably under $500.
>>54308569

Why don't other phones have a secret mode like Samsung does? Having a password/fingerprint protected browser is something I never knew I wanted. Their private mode is also God-tier for hiding prons.
Looking to buy a tablet just for cheap e-textbooks. Looking to spend under $100. Only requirements are decent battery, a screen comfortable for reading text and not so painfully slow its hard to use.
>>54308687
Is it implemented in every Samsung model or just flagships?
>>54308740
I know you can get the latest Samsung internet for the S, A and note series that run lollipop and up.
My Nexus 6P refuses to stay on wifi while sleeping, despite the fact that I've enable both persistent wifi and disable connectivity services optimization. Anyone else have this issue (and maybe a means to fix it)?
My budget is already around 200€ for a new tablet. Is the "NVidia Shield K1" my only best option in this budget range?
P.S: I need the tablet for pdf (college) and for occasional gayming (small android games, nothing spectacular).
What happens with my Xiaomi Redmi note 3 during the night? Some kind of deep sleep?
>>54309198
Just dont. Tablets are useless. Get a small laptop
just got myself a redmi note 3 pro and its amazing, it has no flaws as far as I can see now desu
I pre-ordered a Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition and now it's available. Is it worth the $369.99?
>>54309272

>>54309540

You got meme'd
>>54308569

anyone know a good upnp/dlna music player?

>>54309286
Can you maybe recommend me one (small laptop)?
How are ebook-readers (kindles) for reading pdfs? I know that I can watch a yt video on that, but I need some real experiences instead from some shills.
>>54309272
It probably detects the total lack of motion, light sensors, and activity and puts itself into a hibernation mode.
Wish the price tag on the Samsung S7 would drop already.
The S7 is the best smartphone Samsung has ever produced and it's the best phone out there right now.
>>54309622
You dun goofed son, cancel the pre-order while you can as it's been reported to be horrible.
>>54309884
Arguable, but it's the beat phone they ever made
>>54309861
That's pretty cool man
>>54309854
Pdfs on an ebook reader, never again. I tried both on kindle and nook touch. It's terrible. Panning and zooming are a pain in the ass, small text is not clear enough, screen flashes with every movement of the text
Never again
Ebook readers are for epub/mobi text files, no matter what their ads say, it's all just a meme
>>54309839
>>54309888
You misunderstand, I haven't bought it. I was just cleared to purchase it if I want to. It's like an invite system
>>54309900

Has the battery life been fixed on the SD S7 yet? And to be more specific, the AT&T model. I would like to have samsung pay, but the Exynos model is really tempting me.

Checked out the new HTC 10 at a Verizon store today. Looked at two different ones. Both of them were really HOT, like battery recharging problem hot. Anyone else experience this?
>>54309978
How am I a Jew for stating the obvious? Chinkshit has its place, and it's definitely not producing tech that I have to heavily rely on on a day to day basis.

Currently in the market for something new
I use a Moto G 2014 right now. Not sure exactly what im getting yet but something better. Any excellent phones under $350?
>>54309813
coming from a Moto G2 I can't complain about the camera, at least this camera FOCUSES, my Moto G2 would take a fucking lifetime to focus on anything properly, and the quality is fine desu, in low light though you can see the really bad artifacts and shit so eh
Also MIUI is really comfy and has so many little features that make the experience so good.
And the battery life on this thing is fucking incredible (compared to my old Moto G2 which only did 2 hours of SOT, it seems like this thing can handle 8-10 easily)
>>54310275
fuck anon, your me (I had the same budget too), I just upgraded from a Moto G2 to a Redmi Note 3 Pro and its amazing! My mini "review" is here >>54310285

Stumped whether to get LG V10 or the Xperia Z5. Ehat would you guys recommend?
>>54310358
>radiation
>not giving cancer
Iphone 6s, HTC 10, Nexus 6p, MI 5, or Samsung S7. Price is not an issue.
>>54310370
>radiation
Lol wut. The induction created by wireless chargers is comparable in radiation to fucking radio waves. It literally can't hurt you.
Help me solve my Moto G conundrum, /spg/. In my country they currently sell all three generations of the Moto G. The prices are as follows:
Moto G 2013 - $60 (used), $90 (refurbished, common)
Moto G 2014 - $125 (pretty rare)
Moto G 2015 - $165 (common)
Every one of these is the 8GB model. They don't really import the 16GB ones for some reason. Which is the best for the money? Does the screen quality seriously differ between them?
>>54310391
Iphone 6s
If dubs or higher, you have to get it.
>>54310424
>>54310446
Can you guys give reasons why?
>>54310468
S7 because awesome camera, best processor on the market, good battery life, top notch design and build quality
>>54310468
One is an Apple shill, the other a Samsung one.
Nexus or bust.
>stock Android
>fast updates
>no bullshit skins like Samsung
>based on screen nav keys instead of disgusting backwards physical ones like Samsung
>emulators, clover, and filesystem access unlike iOS
6P for massive Trump-sized hands, 5X for handlet.
>>54310492

>no root on US model
>no custom ROMs on any model (stuck with touchjizz)

Ok, then Mi5
I'm looking for a smartphone that has both a removable batter and a microSD slot like my old Samsung Galaxy S4. What are my options?
>>54310445
Get the newest, trash the older ones.
>>54310646
*battery
>>54310560
Great specs and price, but no LTE in the US. If you're in Europe it could be fine, unless your carrier is one that uses Band 20. Same with Australia, it'll work with LTE but is missing a key band used by Australian carriers for better penetration inside large buildings.
>>54308500
jolla, an n950/900 or a xda sailfish supported google reference model. its the only non-meme phone OS
>>54310646
LG is the only mainstream phone maker offering removable battery. With the better batteries and fast charging on newer phones it really isn't a big deal.
>>54310493
Doesn't the 5X have a shitty battery life and camera though? And a shitty plastic build?
>>54310684
this. on my n950 sittin pretty
>>54310769
I like the plastic build, it feels very solid. Also it isn't slippery to hold, unlike "premium buld" devices
Camera is really good, same as the 6P minus a few camera features (unless you get a tweaked camera app). Battery life is pretty good, I get like 6 hours SoT if I am actively using the phone.
Bretty good phone/10
I'm not sure if anyone here has any experience with this but I'll ask anyway.
So my brother's got a moto x 2013 with an amoled display, and we noticed a stuck pixel in the bottom left side of the screen (it's stuck on green).
Now it was my understanding that amoled screens can't get stuck pixels, but it is definitely lighten up, so I don't think it's dead.
Is there any way to fix this? We've tried a bunch of stuck pixel fixing apps from the play store and left them on for about an hour but none of them have worked so far.
Anything else we can do or is it just hardware related?
>>54310493
Yea I've been looking at the 6p. The only thing that's preventing me from pulling the trigger is the lack of microSD and the 810 firehazard processor. Currently considering the s7 though, I actually like the capacitive buttons and I heard touchwizz is much improved upon. How long till the new HTC Nexus comes out and will it have microSD?
Hey gentlemen, Carbon Gray or Glacier Silver for the HTC 10?
>>54310887
Both are gay
>>54310658
but muh gyro
What is a good, cheap VR set for a 5.5' phone? Got the s7 edge, but don't feel like dropping 100 bucks just for a headset.
>>54310370
>>54310246
>hurr it's RADIATION
It's electromagnetic radiation, not particle radiation.
Visible light is EM radiation (better stay in-doors forever)
Infrared is EM radiation (better never have your arm next to your body, you're blasting yourself with RADIATION!)
Radio is EM radiation (better tinfoil line your house because the reason your car radio plays music is the air is chock-full of RADIATION)
Only high energy EM radiation (such as gamma waves) has any risk at all of cancer.
Guess what no wireless charger will ever use? High energy EM that has any risk of cancer.
You fucking stooge.
>>54310876
HTC Nexus might be announced at Google I/O pretty soon, but that would be pretty early in the year for that to happen. It probably will not have a microSD card since Nexus devices haven't had them in several generations.
I've been using android phones my entire life but I'm seriously considering the Iphone SE. Only thing I hate is no SD card.
Does anyone know of an equivalent?
>>54310876
wait till i/o they're gonna announce a new nexus

Fuck you nigger.
I saw this twenty minutes ago on /o/ and fell in love. Then I tried to install some kit that would give me the same experience and all it did was clog up my app list.
How do I get that theme and those icons? All of them? This thing gives me good, good feels of really old Winamp and that old Earth 2150 series of RTS interfaces. Yes, I know it's Eva. Yes, i know it was originally released as a super super limited edition theme for a super duper limited edition phone in nipland.
It just gives me an amazing case of nostalgia for something I didn't even know I could be nostalgic for. Help, please?

2016 models get good reviews on amazon.. Personally I'd go for the a3 model since I prefer smaller phones. Might get one if it gets cm support, samsung sucks when it comes to updates.
Why is nobody taking about the best phone of the year, LG G5?
>>54312150
Because they're too caught up thinking about gay chink phones and anime
>>54312131
My carrier only got 2015 models.
J5 and A5 2015 are the same thing, except A5 is steel. Is it worth paying more?
>>54312215
isn't the j5 with 8gb of internal storage only?
Nexus 5 was my daily driver until it bricked. Getting it repaired for free, until then I'm using a Moto G3 XT1450 as a replacement. Who thought it was a good idea to push an 8GB internal 1GB memory phone in early 2015? Even worse, why was Motorola retarded enough to put both physical buttons on the same side? Taking screenshots gives me carpal tunnel.
This 1GB memory meme needs to die soon, anons. Manufacturers have been conning us for too long on the "1GB is enough" spiel.
>>54312087
I own this and it's really cool as a novelty thing to just play around with for a bit. But the battery doesn't last too long. I've seen people make custom skins like that before, check youtube.
>>54312233
Internal storage doesn't matter for me, I got a 32 G B sd card anyways
>>54312269
you can swap the battery on the j5. That's pretty nice imo. a5 has slightly more power, so if you do some more demanding shit (games) on your phone the a5 is the better choice.
>>54312115
Sucku my dicku you fat piece of shittu.
>>54312309
>do some more demanding shit (games)
nah, mobile games are shit anyways. I'm gonna go with A5 because maybe aluminium will spread heat out better.
lumia 625 is shit btw. Windows Phone is quite good but the phone itself overheats like shit and restarts randomly.
>>54312269
32GiB shark
>>54312243
I thought the buttons on the same side were fine until I realized they only allow screenshots with simultaneous button pressing which makes it hit or miss, instead of a "hold power+press vol" solution. It was probably a physical design shortcut for waterproofing the button areas to have them on the same side, it's still convenient for normal phone use, just harder to screenshot sluts on snapchat.
They really gimped the shit out of the G 3rd gen with 1gb ram and charging $220+ for the 2gb model. flash and ram aren't expensive they need to kill that practice. I got my Moto G3 1gb for $99 and would upgrade to another Moto later if they show useful improvements. I really love the body of this phone but for the size they could have used a 250-350 mAh larger battery.
Recommend me some apps? Got some credit to kill
Hey fags. Do you know what I want. I want a smartphone with at least one customisable, programmable button on the side. Why is that so impossible to find?
One of the downsides of the current glass slab phone generation is that in order to access information you need to perform complex hand gestures, compared to a dumbphone. It would be very useful to be able to program a button to do *X* when double tapped, or held for three seconds, for example "start video recording" or "bring up often used app".
Why doesnt it even exist?
>>54312201
True, this is 4chan after all. But seriously

Found iPhone 6s at music festival, thought to myself, hmm why return this? I can just factory reset and free Iphone right? WRONG. ive never had an apple device, but come to find out this Iphone is linked to Icloud activation, therefore, i now have a really shiny paperweight. There must be a way to bypass this (jailbreak, duolci, (which seems to be down) ect ect, anybody willing to help a brother out with getting this back to functional status?
Need to know this quickly -
Can anyone surmise whether the new Nexus will have SD card? HTC will be running them so it is a real possibility perhaps, though knowing Nexus they don't like to include it.
I only need to know quickly because I need to decide whether to take the 100 bucks off pre-order for HTC 10 and if I wait for the nexus that may turnout shit with no SD and good DAC.
>>54314315
Not unless you can bypass the hardware key, you fucking faggot-ass thief. Maybe call the FBI and ask them to loan you the tool they used to unlock Farook's phone. I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll help you out.

>>54314457
>comes to smartphone general
>talks shit about phones
I'm sure your mother loved you anon, no need to be this edgy.
>>54314472
Yeah, it's called "Buy a phone with a lower res screen and less powerful CPU."
If a 3000-3600mAh battery can't save it, nothing will.
>>54314472
On Verizon right now, so I can't really confirm, but from what I've heard of the other OEM customers, it seems battery life has been improved with the latest update.
>>54314502
Then why does they exynos version have such better battery life with nearly the same performance?
>>54314505
Great, I've been hearing so many mixed results when it comes to battery life. I just don't want to import the Intl version and risk no warranty. Verizon hasn't had any updates yet?
>>54314549
Because exynos is a great SoC that uses little power and has great deep sleep features.
>>54314573
>Buy a phone with a lower res screen and less powerful CPU
not sure if you're the same anon, but you're only proving my point. it's all about the optimization and that's what I was asking.
I'm running a Nexus 5. Sick of everything being slow as shit and having to constantly fuck with my phone to get decent battery life. Convince me not to switch to a 6S+
How's the LG V10? Is it worth $200?
>>54314368
Nope. You're still a dumb fucking nigger thief. Consider suicide.
>>54314635
Yes.
Way better than the G5.
>>54314213
I should've prefaced >>54314076 that I'm selling it to save some money. iPhones run for much more than a 5x
>>54314283
It can but I feel like it's more powerful than what I use it for. Some gripes I do have with it is the battery (lasts only half a day with average use) and Snapchat is so unbelievably laggy where my Nexus 5 handles it almost flawlessly.

Verizon hasn't gotten the update yet (it usually is the slowest to update), but it should be right around the corner. Honestly, the battery is pretty good w/o the update, so I'm guessing the update will make it godly (unless you have a K10000 phone)
>>54314549
My AT&T variant got the update, and it did help with battery life.
Still getting rid of it though, managed to pick up an S7 EDGE for cheaper than I'm selling my AT&T S7 for, and it's an international variant.
Anyone here got the G5? How's it treating you?
What pdf reader do people use on android? I want to read scanned pdfs and be able to zoom in to avoid huge margins, but then still be able to flip pages, hopefully with the volume rocker. Every pdf reader I've tried doesn't allow flipping pages once zoomed in (and especially not keeping the zoom), and many don't even support using the volume rocker, and I really really hate scrolling through pdfs.

How is your N5X slower than N5? doesn't make sense.
Haven't had an iPhone since my 4. Can you drag and drop files or music yet? Is iOS any less shit than it was in iOS 7? Can you turn off animations? Do people still jailbreak. I want an SE my phone's a big fucking meme

I haven't done anything to mine but I average over/close to 6 hrs. I'll get my stats next post.
ik this probably isn't the best place to ask but i'm moving to istanbul for a year for work and need a good international contract, any advice /g/?

This is with the screen brightness at 50% max and lower while indoors. I use the 0.5A stock charger and have had the phone for 2 weeks now.
>>54316142
I really don't know. It's only when my uptime is over 500 hours I find lag very bad.
And especially with Snapchat. Snapchat is slower on my 5x than my 5. I have no idea why it's so shitty.
is there a good smart phone coming out this year that isnt as expensive as the s7? currently using 2013 moto x, wouldn't mind a new motorola if thats going to be a thing, or something similar
>>54316888
> Snapchat is slower on my 5x than my 5
Sounds like a SD808 issue, it throttles very aggressively. seems like a recurring issue.

I use a lenovo k3 note, it has both of those. It does charge pretty slowly though.
What's the closest phone to a 5-5x capabilities around the same or lower price range?
Just got a Redmi Note 3 Pro, ask me anything /g/

How's the camera?
>>54315048
>you can change the launcher
>you can fix the RAM issue
>more customizable than most ROMs
>weekly updates
G5 any good?
>>54317340
It's fine for point and shoot shots, just don't expect and decent performance under low light, camera lags and shit gets grainy under darkness but otherwise it's fine for basic pictures, pic related was just taken (I need to clean my ceiling desu)
>>54317430
>literally no good custom roms to get rid of the chink
>copy of ios shit
>weekly updates are meaningless
>>54315048
As >>54317430 said applies but more so if you don't like MIUI just flash the Qualcomm AOSP ROM and Gapps with FP working and you'll have a Nexus experience. I personally however like MIUI for its refreshing look on Android and it's polish, as well as all the other little nifty features it incorporates, the only thing I miss from other ROMs (CM) at this point is long press recents for your last app, other than that I don't find myself missing anything else, shits comfy.

RN3P will definitely have a better battery life and the snapdragon > helix in terms of software support IMO
>samsunga s4 mini

>Is phone gud?
I liek s4mini
>>54317505
you also like justin gayber, hence your a fag.
>>54317483
Well R3P, not RN3P. 5.5 is way too big for my manlet hands. But yeah I guess the same applies.
>>54317588
Right, although 5.5 doesn't feel too big in my hands, i probably have big hands tho since I can one hand the device and manage.
My SOT off of my first charge if anyone cares, intense use desu since I just got it.
>>54317693
Dang that SD650 really gulps down the juice. The SD616 Redmi 3 will have better battery life.
>>54317796
not really, on average use people get 8 hours SOT and on conservative use people get 10-12 hours of SOT, I only got 5ish because I haven't left the device alone except for when I slept
>>54314315
Give it back Dominique
>>54314573
It's a piece of shit though. PPSSPP keeps crashing on me, it never happened on my sd805 note 4
>>54308500
Best smartphone for programming? I hate laptops.
Got a iphone 6S and the battery barely lasts 5.30 hours of usage (Not SoT) Is this okay, considering the small battery size ?
Gonna go out and buy this tomorrow
Which color is best?
>black looks more slick
>gold looks amazing when hit by light
I would get the silver titanium in a second if it wasnt only available for the edge
>>54317850
Are you serious?
>>54317826
Miui is pretty nice I would keep playing with it too
>>54317857
Black so all thr sensor/camera/earphone/home button stuff doesn't stand out and ruin your normie immersion.
Thoughts on the Samsung J7? Thinking about getting it since i use prepaid and its only 229
>>54317903
ya that's what I was thinking too
btw I have at&t gophone and I could either get an unlocked gsm us version or the gsm interantional version
every site seems to favor the exynos version. what's the downside to getting the international version of the s7?
I want to spend $200-$400 on a phone that could do minimum call/texts, big on social media, and better than Nexus 5/5x phone battery.
Any reccs?
>>54317985
xiaomi redmi note 3 pro
>>54318000
I'm doing some research now but what are some positives / negatives that sway you?
>>54317932
Not sure, but gophone was my first ever cellphone 10 years ago. What a ripoff prepaid was back then.
>>54318000
+1
>>54317985
I'm a social one too (pic related is my main homescreen), the Redmi Note 3 Pro has handled everything I've thrown at it with ease, it's no slouch in performance and I've had 5+ hours SOT so far but I can get 8 Hours I'm sure since this is just my first charge.
>>54318049
I ain't doin' your homework, nigga.
it is really well built though, quality construction
>>54318049
I'm >>54318062 , as >>54318068 said it's built well, I see no downsides at the moment desu
>>54317985
Redmi 3 Pro is a good option too if you want something smaller.
It's a 5", snapdragon 615, 3GB ram, 32GB storage, fingerprint sensor. really power efficient
>>54318062

Who is your carrier? I just ordered a redmi 3 pro and it's in the mail.
Do you get 4G with the note 3 pro? I'm thinking I'll only get 3GB with AT&T and the international radio it comes with.
>>54318062
That is amazing to hear, excited just to look into it.
Just browsing this

I noticed the Redmi is Android L 5.1 vs Android M 6.0.
I really want a phone that will last me with app updates for at least 2-3 years-- as my Nexus carried me well for that amount of time. Will this fact (or other things about Redmi) mess with my goal?
>>54318098
I dont live in US, but I'm in Europe and I get 4G just fine, it's pretty fast too desu
>>54318103
MIUI8 which is coming out on May 10th is based on MM so your fine for updates plus this device is a Snapdragon device so you'll get updates for a while to come without having to worry, there's already CM being worked on for the device and people are trying to hack together the Fingerprint reader from the AOSP ROM by Qualcomm to work in the CM one, so if MIUI does stop updates, you'll always have CM, but I prefer MIUI
And so no, it won't mess with your goals desu senpai
>>54318160
I'm not into rooting my phone desu, but I'm assuming MIUI8 is just a ROM Update I could just do over the phone's WiFi?
>>54308500
where to cop Oukitel K10000?
The cheapest I can find is AU $234.54
>>54318160
How about they extract an LTE radio bin file so everyone can flash their snapdragon redmi to work in North America
>>54318062
>>54318098
>Limited LTE support in the GTA depending on provider. I was on rogers the first month I had the phone and was getting LTE pretty much everywhere, however, i switched to koodo and then only got LTE downtown and along 401, was only getting H+ at work and at home, hence the reason I am selling.
What's the difference between LTE 4G and 3G? If I were to lose LTE because of this phone, what's the difference? Speed? Is it a big loss?
Not sure whether to go for the Redmi 3 Pro (not Note, the 5" one), Nexus 5X or go all in and get a Mi 5.
Also the option to wait for the OnePlus 3...
>>54314318
There's no chance. Google thinks SD cards are for poor countries. They want people using fast internal storage and not complaining about their phone being slow because people are too stupid to realize they bought a shitty SD card.
I have an ishill 4S that I got for free.
Would I be able to get a decent upgrade for <200 Aussie Dollarydoos?
Normally I just wait for a free phone to come my way but I have the cash and my phone is shitting me a little bit. It is either get a new phone or get one of those fitness band gimmicks.
How's the G5?

I don't get it. Is it the NOTE 3 or is it the 3 PRO that people are discussing about?
>>54308569
OnePlus X, fampai.
>>54318476
Buy this. About $200US. Best battery life I've ever had on a phone. Excellent build quality. Nice fast Cyanogen OS. I will shill ZUK forever.
xiaomi redmi 3 looks nice with the gigantic battery. Any chance that this will get cm support one day?
>>54318188
Yup, MIUI8 will be available as an OTA.
>>54318292
It might not be that simple, but that sounds good, maybe make a thread in pootheloo-xda.com , they might help or just you know, poo the loo.
>>54318572
It already has partially working CM and fully working AOSP (even fingerprint reader because it's a build by Qualcomm).
By the looks of it we should have fully working CM during or by the end of summer.
