Still happy with my Nexus 5. Who needs a model post 2013 anyway? These things run fine and are a quarter of the price.
>>54741686
How's your SOT? my old N5 would barely last 2h.

I feel that I was using an HTC thunderbolt untill a few months ago and got a Nexus 6. That HTC lasted me a decent 4 years

Moto X Pure or One Plus2. Looking for a phone under $300 that supports Tmo LTE.

i saw this transformer case for RN3 and now i want it at any cost. Before i was obsessed with moto g3 but it's older version literally made my dick soft.
Asking again here
>>54740952
so I'm looking at galaxy s5 on amazon. what's the difference between T-Mobile and unlocked. I'm on T-Mobile btw so it doesn't matter right now. Would it affect my ability to switch to another provider? Does it affect the bootloader or android version? I heard the s5 got android N on it recently
>>54742154
newer version *
Alright guys, looking for a smartphone:
- Phone size limit is Samsung S7 (non edge), can't go bigger than that.
- No bloatware
- Good battery life
- Price doesn't matter
- Good performance
Any suggestions?
>>54742365
HTC 10?
>>54742169
Unlocked version is potentially easier to root.
You mean M not N. It will almost certainly never get N.
>>54742074
I think smartwatches are stupid too
Is it worth getting a Z3 compact still? How's the camera?
>>54742464
Until apple does it
>>54742563
Yeah it's still a decent phone if you're wanting something sub 5"
the camera is average at best as with all Sony phones, somehow everyone else implements Sony sensors better than Sony themselves.
>>54742635
I only own a seven years old iPod and they already did it.
I'm looking for a new phone. Help would be appreciated.
I'd like:
>microSD
>good screen
>good performance, I mainly want to download/play music and browsing, no gaming.
>not that expensive
>>54743077
would also like it to have a decent camera.
I was considering LG G4, thoughts?
>>54743077
the s5 mini is fine, camera is rather meh. Costs around 200€
Why won't Google sync any of my important shit, i.e, contacts, drive, gmail? Just a blank play store and a constantly loading gmail. I had this issue before factory resetting my phone, and then it was fine until today.
On a stock G4 by the way.
>>54743104
>>54743077
G4 is very good for the price of a one year old flagship and has a top-tier camera. You can get it one for $200 on ebay. Just have to ask around to to see which ones were made after september to get around the bootloop issue.
I wanted one myself but I don't like the size.
>>54743077
Xiaomi Mi4 with 3GB of RAM.
>>54743165
Is there a way to know if it was made past September? Model number or something?
>>54742365
Moto X Pure
>>54743244
Serial number starts with 509+
>Tfw 505 serial number
Living on the edge
>>54743244
First 3 digits of serial number on the box. ie 511 =2015/11
Same applies to all LG phones.
Nexus 6 user here. I love pretty much everything about this phone except for the size and camera. I miss my old G2's form factor.
Is the 5x as good as it gets now at 5 inches? Should I just wait til the new nexus phones drop?
>>54743384
5x for $229 through fi is as good a deal as you'll get on a Nexii
>>54743384
If you can afford it, the closest thing to LG G2's format factor right now is the S7.
I used a 5X for a while and it was just too big and awkwardly shaped.
>>54743244
It's 510 and above you want.
There was a never used 511 one last night with a case that sold for $202. Ridiculous
I'm currently using the Droid Turbo 1. How good is the LG V10 in comparison? Or if you can't compare, how good is the V10?
LG tribute. $50
Flashed it with cyanogen mod 11 and it runs like a much higher end phone but still a cheapo.
It has no gapps installed. Completely degoogled it. Uses magic jack for calls.
Cons: camera is not supported by my ROM but that's OK because it sucked anyway.
I have an lg lucid and i'm upgrading to a galaxy s4
Does anyone have the image reference for /g/ approved apps. I used it to set up my lucid and it was a lot of help/ I was wondering if there was an updated version.
I just read about OnePlus dropping the prices on their entire lineup, might be worth checking if someone wants a capable phone on the cheap. My OPO was pretty cool, but I couldn't keep my hands off my N5.
>>54743077
ZTE Warp Elite. Only $100 on amazon. It's carrier locked to Boost so check for coverage first. I have it and it seems like a pretty good phone. 2 gigs of ram and 16 gigs of internal + micro sd slot, 720p screen, and 3k ah battery.
What's the cheapest phone that allows IMEI changing?
>>54743830
onplus phones don't have a microsd slot.
Is there any chance the oneplus 3 will have CDMA, or should I just get a nexus 6p right now?
Reporting in with a Blu life one x
pros
-always end day with at least 30% + battery life
-200$ CAD
-feels good
-little to no stutter
-micro sd slot
-2 sim cards slot
-camera is serviceable
Cons
-relatively big chin and that's it for me.
Is the Gear VR worth it? If looks like fun and I'd like to watch videos or emulate games with it
>>54744049
The nexus 6p doesn't have a microsd slot and it's very likely the onplus 3 won't either.
>>54744101
No i'ts fucking shit. Which is understandable since the gpu on the Samshit 7 has AMD A4 APU gpu performance at best.
Save your money for an AMD card with Async compute + VR headset instead.
>54744101
If you got the phone I would pick it up. Worst case scenario you return it after 2 weeks. Nothing to lose
>>54744101
Mobile VR is only worthwhile for the porn senpai
>>54744120
I couldn't care less about a micro SD card slot, that wasn't even a part of my question
>>54744226
That's a shame, you're going to regret getting a phone without a microsd slot (I know I did, I'm an ex-nexus 5x user). Samsung is days away from releasing their 90MB/s 256GB microsd and word is they're already working on a 320GB version for next year.
>>54744195
Is the porn worth 60 dollars?
>>54741686
mine lasts 3.5-5 hours, battery is very temperamental.
Ordered a redmi 3 pro though, looking forward to that 10+ hours SoT.
>>54744307
That phone also has a microsd slot, good job anon.
>>54743954
The oneplus x has an SD Slot
>>54743954
Yeah, thats lame, but maybe for the average user, a micro SD slot is an afterthought?
>>54742365
Galaxy S7.
>>54744592
>but maybe for the average user, a micro SD slot is an afterthought?
Not anymore. Every since normies discovered they could torrent their shitty yify movies and normies of thrones episodes onto their phones to watch on bed microsd cards have pretty much been the rave for the last few years. Also because pic related exist.
>inb4 someone recommend those chink microsd cards that corrupt your data in a few weeks
>>54744709
How is that sd card is it actually good? I have a 64GB one my mother got me but it's a cheap chink one corrupts everything and doesn't work so I don't use it.
>>54744345
That was another reason for ordering it.
I know the SoC is weaker than my SD800, but I'll be fucked if this time I don't prioritise battery life.
>>54744762
Get a shark from aliexpress. They're legit, cheap, and fast.
Some anon broke one open and it had a Samsung chip inside.
>>54744871
>anon broke one open and it had a Samsung chip inside
pics? seems almost too good to be true
>>54744762
Good enough I guess. I bought one for a tablet and no problems even after about a year of use on it. I paid like $50 for mine though.
>>54744871
Avoid these at all cost. I bought a 32GB shark from aliexpress for shits and giggles and all data was corrupted in less than a month and I could not mount it anymore. Last time I ever get a microsd card from chinks.
>>54742462
N is not even out how would you get that?
>>54744893
I pretty much never buy anything but the Samsung EVO/PRO sd cards, never had a problem.
You get what you pay for, really.
Newfag here. Is there any one click rooter for 5.1.1 that ISN'T hacks/data collection/a paid cash grab?
>>54743077
one plus x or two camrea on the x is ok
why SHOULDN'T i buy a nexus 6p?
i'm on tmobile and need a new phone
>>54743954
the x does one of the reasons im getting one
>>54745112
you should buy it
>>54745128
i most likely will tomorrow at a local B&M like bestbuy cuz my old phone is dead
I just dropped my zenfone 2 on the freeway and need a new phone that is similar in its accessibility(roots, roms, popularity) and high in performance. Release must be recent. What should I get?
>>54745112
Because it doesn't have a microsd slot. You can LITERALLY buy non-chink 128GB microsd cards with 70MB/s transfer speeds for $30 and sometimes less when they go on sale.
By next year you'll be stuck with 16/32GB of storage while samshit unveils their 320GB microsd card that can be used on $30 android phones.
You're literally cucking yourself to death if you get a phone without a microsd slot. The cloud is a piece of shit and spies on you 24/7.
>>54745189
i don't care about storage though because i'm not a huge autist
>>54745171
Another zenfone 2 I'm afraid. You won't get all those good specs and a battery that can be charged in under 60 minutes for $300 (less now I think).
>>54745203
Oh welp.
I guess I can always try to find it on the side of the road tomorrow and buy a new screen for it. Certainly still somewhere there, it accepted an active sync remote wipe.
Is Moto E worth it? I wanted a Moto G but poorfag
The display res puts me a bit off, is it good enough?
>>54744893
I've had my 128GB for 2 months now with no problems.
It comes with 30 years warranty, get a replacement.
>>54745195
not him but I used to think exactly like you. Thought I could tough it out with my nexus 5x. Then my music library started growing and I wanted to watch movies on my phone offline. Space was very limited, only had 8GB to work with after system and apps used half the storage space.
Finally accepted defeat last year and sold my nexus 5x and got a Sony Z3 + 128gb microsd card. Best decision of my life.
Thing is it's always good to have the microsd slot just in case.

Nope it lacks camera flash, has a 2.4 Ah battery, 1GB of RAM, and has a tiny 4.5" screen, very bad idea.
Instead get a zte warp elite, it's only $100. Basically a moto g with a bigger battery capacity.

What video player for Android sucks the least? I'm not digging VLC's performance on my Redmi 3.
So it seems that my N5 is finally ded. Wanted to delay a new phone purchase until this year's Nexus came out, but it looks like my hand is being forced.
Thinking about 1+2 or N5X, but I'd like like to know if /spg/ has any other suggestions.
>>54745344
I like MX Player personally
>>54745344
MX Player on HW+ mode.
Though honestly some video codecs do not have hardware acceleration and must be decoded by the CPU alone so if you have a shit phone CPU there is not much you can do. VP9 and 10-bit H264/HEVC can only be decoded by the CPU for example so playback will suck no matter what if your phone has a shitty CPU especially if resolution is above 1080p.
>>54745387
Get something with a microsd senpai.
>>54743077
Get a second hand G4 or M9 off swappa or craigslist imo they're both cheap and pretty great
G4:
>(+)Great camera
>(+)Great performance
>(N)Okay audio
>(-)Mediocre build quality
M9:
>(+)Sturdy build quality
>(+)Great audio and speaker
>(N)Screens smaller
>(-)Mediocre camera
If it counts for you the M9 has better support on xda, and you can convert any of the gsm phones to a dev edition for fast updates.
But if you want that the M8 would be cheaper and has a dev community triple the size of the M9 or G4
>>54745246

I'm getting some mixed signals. Everything I'm reading says the Redmi Note pro 3 has very poor band support for t-mobile, but people on /g/ say it works fine.

I am super tempted to buy some super cheap 4000+mah China phones but am really put off by the last gen mediatek processors. I'll probably wait for more X20 phones to come out. Right now my only option is the Redmi 3 Pro (or note) which at least has a snapdragon.
Now that the one plus x had a price drop. Should I buy that one or the redmi note pro 3?
>>54744709
>implying more than 5% of phones support over 64gb

Wondering how the camera on the one plux x is, which is the only reason why i'm not buying the RN3P.
>>$70 Off UMi Super Flagship Featuring Helio P10 & Aluminum Design
I can you guys don't know about chinking, there is no such thing as $70 off, the real price is the price you get after the $70 off, and after the "promotion ends" it will take them 1 to 7 days to make the "discuount" price the new official price, nearly all the no name brands do this.

Check the archive. On Ali there's one labeled Pro Prime that is supposedly the global model. But I don't know how well it'll work on ATT because it doesn't seem to have band 17

My parents got me a Blu Life XL L050U, since I had some troubles with LTE, I decided to update it with OTA. For some reason, the update failed and now it's soft-bricked.
The only people with the repair is ClanGSM and they ask for 30 euros for it.
Anyone by any chance has a download link or something?
This piece of shit phone is so obscure...
this is probably a stupid question, but how much of a price drop can one expect for the moto g3 once the g4 is out on amazon?
I can buy items from the US up to $200 without having to pay huge taxes.
the G3 on amazon is like 199.99 which is perfect but with the shipping and such it obviously goes over that.

I also want something that won't break easily if I drop it.
Newfag to phones here, I don't know much at all about them really. Purchasing advice would be great since it's about time I switch phones. Country is Indiana, carrier is AT&T, size and budget don't really matter and what I'm looking for is something really customizable, being able to tweak icons and colors for messaging, browsers, animations, etc. Just anything I can fuck around with really. Also not a big fan of iPhones it's what I'm upgrading from. Sorry if the specs are a bit vague.
>>54751162
I just noticed I put my country is Indiana, I'm still tired fuck me. Country is United States
>>54750974
Or just save my money and get the k4000 pro?
>>54750974
Definitely get the pro. I'm waiting for the x20 version of the k6000. Good battery life is one thing, but being able to run updates too.
>>54750974
K6000 Pro, better SoC+3gb ram, and 6000mAh is plenty enough.

>>54752140
>>54752151
G4 is really great phone, no doubt, but wish there was 8-core CPU and either lowered resolution to FHD or more powerful battery. WiFi + browsing on 30% brightness makes lose 1% of battery every 1.5-2mins, could've been better, but I guess I'll learn something useful from my own mistakes.

Aaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaa
>>54752244
Oshit anon. I'm sorry to hear that.
Maybe get a xiaomi 5000mAh bank. Or 10000mah. It's cheap, reliable, and will offer more than one full charge.
>>54752272
I was looking at the Ankers since I already made a chink order and wouldn't want to wait another 4 weeks for something to get here. A 10k mAh charger off amazon is only like $18.50.
I've also considered getting a bigger battery, but then you have to deal with expanded cases. I'll probably swap out for a G5 or whichever phone is easy to root for my next one in a few years.
>>54746546
same here.
I really wanna have warranty and idk if i can trust the chinks..
Also OPX is a qtpie
Just graduated college and landed myself a great job. Going to be getting my first smartphone soon. Needs to work on Verizon.
The most important thing for me is reliability and ruggedness, recommend me a phone that will last me for the next four years. (I've had my current flip phone for 8 years and it's still running strong.)
I've been using a few android devices for years so I definitely want to go with that, along with not spending too much money.
Also what about plans? I've been on unlimited text and talk for $10/month my whole life and have no idea what the good choices are for switching to data.
>>54752227
>Install a custom kernel
Have no idea what is is and how to install it. Might as well leave it untouched. Also, my phone is brand new (like few days since got it) and is covered under 2 year warranty, so don't want to void it.
>>54752244
>Yeah, I'm just considering getting a compact powerbank for it as backup.
Good idea, but again, additional stuff to carry with yourself, kinda uncomfortable. I expected G4 to be real good since this phones is for business/power users, so should stay long on battery and then it's other way around. Atleast it has superb camera.
>>54752316
Also a removable battery and micro SD would be nice.
>>54752316
S7 active will soon be unveiled. Keep an eye on that
>>54752340
>I expected G4 to be real good since this phones is for business/power users, so should stay long on battery and then it's other way around.
I agree, it should have had a option to lower the resolution to save power like aforementioned, but the features are pretty great and it's solid. I think the V10 is unlocked but it's twice the price of the G4 for only some moderate changes.
>>54744101
I think it's pretty neat. Only get it if you already have a compatible device or want one. Minecraft in immersion is fun.
Jesus, does anyone have a link to a seller who sells the redmi note 3 pro global model? I just want my shit to work in the US :/ supposedly there's certain sellers on Ali express that have them but I have no idea of knowing which ones they are

Yeah I've got an s7, just got it. Was watching a lot of videos on it last night and it honestly seemed like fun and a good way to watch stuff in bed while my wife is sleeping. Is the pixel density super bad up close? I remember using the oculus dev kit 2 and it was horrible and practically unplayable in most things.
OPX or N5X?
They cost the same in my country so..
when do you guys think we'll see a successor to the SD820? i don't want to have to go iPhone this fall.
>>54752590
n5x definitely, better battery life, better processor, better camera, usb c, dual front facing speakers.
the downsides are that is has less ram and non expandable memory, but id still go with the 5x for the faster updates.
hey /g/, im looking for something to replace my Galaxy S with as the micro usb slot barely works and it's fucking glacial.
I'd prefer something with similar dimensions (2.5"x 5") and a micro sd slot. Camera can be garbage, i only expect to use it for phoning, web browsing, music and navigation.
>>54752746
so no chance of it being in this years nexus right? fml

It could use SD823 or SD828.

I hope they are worth it. And I hope that the price tag will be less ridiculous than the current generation
I'm about to pull the trigger on either an LG G5 or a HTC 10.
It's go to last at least 2 years, which would fare better?
>>54752933
Does HTC has removable battery? No? Then pick LG. After some time, battery starts to lose its potential and basically will drain power even faster, then you just buy another one and replace.
>>54752984
Right.
Both have a microSD port and the G5 has an IR blaster.
G5 it is.
(I'm using a G3 at the minute)
>>54752933
>2 years
Who gives a shit. Both phones will last 2 years easily.
>>54752984
Exactly what this person said. My s5 went from lasting about a day and a half a day to 8 hours. Then I slammed it into the wall and got a g4. I'm liking it.
Also I had an app on my old phone where I could download apks. It had a huge w in the logo. Anyone know what it is.
>>54752075
3gb is enough for now but 4 is the sweet spot for N. 6 is a bit exaggerated but if they officer it take it is my mentality.
>>54752870
I thought one of them aims at midrange?
>>54752933
The HTC won't fail in two years but you'll be safe with the g5 even with theirs messed up modular design. The dac better design (imo) and probably better speakers (while being more quiet than others) isn't reason enough to spend more money. I think both will get fine custom rom support.
>>54753066
Yeah man, I'm curious about the B&O DAC you can get. I wonder if it'll be able to drive my DT 880 Pros
>>54752933
G5 goes with wide-angle camera and removable battery. The rest is pretty similar. If these two things don't matter to you, just pick the one you like more.
Go to the retail store and take both in your hand, see which phone fits your hand better. You'll know instantly which one to buy.
>>54753126
If you think about getting the dac you could directly go for the 10
>>54753129
>Go to the retail store and take both in your hand
THIS THIS THIS
It's VERY important. When I saw specs of some HTC phone being at almost 10mm of thickness I declined this as an option. When I was randomly at shop checking out devices, I picked up HTC, fuck how good it was sitting in my hand and almost 10mm thickness wasn't noticeable at all.
I got a lightly used Galaxy Note 5 for 200 dollars. It's AT&T so it comes with a locked bootloader and all that fun stuff. How did I do?

>>54753590
What's so bad about touchwizz anyway? I don't understand the autism around this. Would you be so kind as to explain?
>muh ricing
That's literally the only reason I installed Nova.
>>54753447
>paying $200 for a used phone
Should've bought a Xiaomi RMN3 or RM3P
>>54752556
You definitely can see the pixels but the quality is still pretty good. I'd say it's the cheap man's VR. I got a Note 5 and my gf the s6. The smaller screen on the s6 was weird. My Note 5 was awesome.
>>54753447
Bretty good.
>>54753691
>muh chinkshit is better than yer chinkshit
>buying a used phone is bad
A phone with really good specs that costs 700 new. You didn't provide an answer either.
Is the Moto Z going to suck? I feel like it's going to suck.
>>54753667
>What's so bad about touchwizz anyway?
Now, at this moment, it's a meme and nothing bad about it, really. Once in the past it was really bad (according to users) and shit. No matter how much they progress TouchWizz performance-wise, it still be considered bad, since that's how it was at the beggining.
Being UK is suffering, fampais.
Prices:
Galaxy 7 unaffordable >>> Nexus 6P > S6
Which get? More expensive 6P or slightly cheaper S6?

Fren why are you recommending mythology
Hi /g/entlemen.
I broke my Nexus 4 2 weeks ago and to this day, I've been using my girlfriend's old moto g (1st gen 3G).
Wow.
I like everything about it... but the screen is broken (still water resistant !).
Which phone should I buy ?
It has to :
- be sub $200
- have a 4.5 to 4.8" screen
- have a >= 720p resolution
- have a great community on XDA ("long time support")
- have an excellent battery life
- be rootable
- be the nearest to stock android
- be the more future-proof
- be resistant
Thank you !
Can you help me find a phone that is
>small (I have small hands, need to handle it in one)
>good battery performance
>good camera
I don't care about games I use it to lurk twitter and social media, music and photos
>microsd if available
Price doesn't matter

Don't sony. Not worth of trust. Better some lg, and batteries seems to last longer. My sister have lg spirit lte and battery last for like 3 sometimes even 5 days, if used less. So newer lg's should be cool to.
About camera, for filming ONLY nokias with 8mpx+. I tested many phone cameras for filming.
>>54755307
Please leave. Your opinions are terrible.
>>54752547

From what I've read the snapdragon model is the global version. Maybe ask in /csg to be secure.

if it can't get me comfortably trough a day, it's trash.
has anyone an idea? i'm thinking about the 1+X since they reduced the price, but i doubt the shit battery will satisfy me..
>>54757044
Redmi 3 pro.
I've ordered one and I can't wait for it to come in. 8 hours SoT with maximum brightness, 17.5 hours video playback at 200 nits brightness.
Check if bands are compatible.

I have both of my hands and I'm coordinated enough to not need a rugged phone. When I'm working hard my phone isn't on me or it's inside a case.
>>54757595
That poor $25 phone didn't deserve that fate.
>>54757616
Good for you, but you're not everyone.
What works for you won't work for everyone else anon, stop being so close minded.
>>54757664
>it's not for you!
This response needs to die. In what way is that phone better than its competitors. Motorola makes a screen that can't be damaged.
I'm spooked af about buying a Redmi Note 3 Pro in South Australia after hearing about people having to wait weeks for it to deliver
Does anybody have any recommendations for places to buy from to ship to Australia?

>>54757662
How much is the Motorola and what's the battery life?
Performance?
Should I buy Xperia E4? Is it reliable?
>>54757740
3760mah, 10hrs SoT, SD810 AnTuTu 55,000. If it's premium features you're wanting you should be prepared to pay for them, otherwise you suffer at the hands of no name manufacturers and bad build quality.
>>54757783
Swappable battery sd card?
>>54757679
>having to wait weeks for it to deliver
isn't that normal for chinese things. although some people have gotten phones from gearbest in like one week.
>>54755702
Here maps
>>54757807
Of course it has SD slot. It's 2016 a removable battery isn't a positive, you can plug your phone in.
>>54757783
Droid turbo 2?
>>54757762
If you're going for a budget phone you might as well go chink.
Go ask /CSG/.
>>54757852
Zerolemon is still a thing
>>54757856
Is that the Moto X Force name in USA?
>>54757783
Sounds expensive.
Are there any cheapish Chinaphones that have better performance than a SD801?
I really want to replace my LG G3, but feel as though anything I buy that isn't a current flagship will just be a waste of money
>>54757865
Why csg, he can ask us here. Lots of people here have ordered them.
All phone related discussions should stay within spg.
>>54757873
Thanks to LG still giving a shit about removable batteries and grandpas who can't into 2016.
>>54757873
Extended batteries will always be a thing. I bought a 2,400 mah one for an LG Tribute 2, put it on a ringplus free pan and sold that piece of shit for $130.
>>54757893
How cheap?
>>54757973
Anything below £350, because I can buy an LG G5 for that
>44 degrees
Is my phone going to explode?
>>54758003
Redmi note 3? Or the pro?
I had a g3 though, pretty much anything will feel like an upgrade. SD801 just wasn't cut out for a 1440p workload.
>>54758014
Yes.
>>54758056
I honestly have no issue with the performance but 2GB of RAM isn't though on the stock OS.
I might just upgrade to a G4
>>54757876
>>54757856
>Is that the Moto X Force name in USA?
This seems to be the same fucking phone
>>54757893
>>54758003
>$500 USD
Lowest end would be a Redmi Note 2 Prime (Helio X10) for £100. Otherwise the Vernee Apollo Lite for £160.
>>54758014
Yes
>>54758109
Redmi note 3 pro comes with 3gb too anon.
>>54757865
I don't want a chinkphone, I chose Sony because they used to be a reliable company in the past and I want a 24 months warranty. The phone has integrated battery which worries me, because I know that the OS sometimes has to be reset by force. What will I do when Android hangs up and doesn't respond to power button?
