K, so first message,
Why shouldnt i buy an iPhone 6 guys?
I'm about to do it, but dont want to waste the money...
>>54766732
The whole point of an iPhone is to have the latest fashion accessory. The 6 is already outdated so you'll just look like a tryhard poorfag.
>>54766732
Why not iPhone 6s while your'e at it?
>>54766732
yeah, sorry, iPhone 6 32gb is the idea. But i dont want it as
>>54766786
I just want a good solid phone for the next couple years
>>54766810
Holly shit, forgot the fucking S again.
>iPhone 6S 32gb
Thats it.
Opinions on the new Xiaomi mi Max?
3 Versions
Snapdragon 650 / 652 /652
RAM 3 / 3 / 4gb
Internal Memory 32 / 64 / 128gb
Where it gets rediculous:
6.44" Screen @ 1080x1920 (342 ppi)
4850mAh Battery
Prices range from $200 to $300
/G/ convince me how IPHONE SE is not the best phone at the moment?
>muh microSD
pointless,you got cable to store them elsewere and youtube for music if somehow 16GiB aint enough + plenty of people like me who never downloaded music.
>Small resolution,RAM etc..
.In the end in doesnt matter as its faster than any phone in the market .Apple jusst proves that will lower specs it can perform much better than shitty chink brick phablets.
PRO'S:
>perfect size for a phone
If you want anything bigger than 4' than buy a laptop or tablet.A phone is just for calls,internet and camera while not at home.
>>54766937
How am I supposed to convince you not to get it when you're already aware of it's defects but decide to ignore them?
>>54766732
>>54766956
I've seen that before, i disagree with more than half of it. Not to mention the other half is simply not true.
>shit res screen Kek.
>>54766952
This is irrelevant.
All phones have defects,but iphone SE is at the moment the best.
>>54766970

>perfect size for a phone
Are you 6 years old? I'm a fucking manlet and I can't go back to anything smaller than 5 inch.
>not even 1080p at that price
Disgusting.
>only 2gb ram
Disgusting.
>1600mah battery
Disgusting.
>60% screen to body ratio
I'm fucking done. How can anyone shill this piece of shit? Fuck man...
>>54766995
Last time i checked manlets had shitty phablet chinkphones.
Phone is for call,internet and camera.The rest you got at home/job.
>>54767044
Cool. Go buy your iPhone and leave us in peace then.
Cheers cunt.
>>54767040
>2gb ram
>1600 mah battery
This is irrelevant ,as its faster than any phone atm and the battery lasts around 40-50% more than iphone 6s.
The screen has no problem,sure the s7 edge has a better screen but at what cost and size?
If i want to buy a tablet ,i buy one and not a s7 edge who costs alot more too
>>54767059
POO
>>54767040
>I can't go back to anything smaller than 5 inch.
Sounds like you have a tiny penis. I'm sorry man

Horrible b8, go troll somewhere else, retard.
>>54767072

What the actual fuck, I think I'm sticking to getting a OnePlus X as my next phone
is there a too much RAM for phones?
>>54767170
Dont buy chinkphones from western resellers get it from Aliexpress like everyone else. Ask at csg for a legit link and call it a day. Its not a budget phone so it should be around 500$.
>>54767174
No
>>54767040
>not even 1080p
why the fuck would you need that on a 4' screen?
>>54767199
I'm not getting one from a reseller unless I'm sure I can unlock the bootloader and put Cyanogenmod on it in case I don't like Miui. The Oneplus X already have official CM13 nightlies.
>>54767174
I'll let you know after I've bought this.
Hello chinkpraisers. First days of experience with LG G4.
>Pros
-Stylish back with brown leather
-Sleek, beautiful front
-Almost-AMOLED screen that has beautiful, vibrant colors
-Unnoticeable pixels, looks like one single panel
-Top build quality, feels premium
-Physical buttons on the back are a bit weird at the beggining, but when you get used to it, it's pretty good. Volume up/down textured buttons feel nice to fingers
-Very fast UI/skin. Besides Google Apps and some minor LG apps not much bloat in there
-Very customizable settings to fit your needs:
a)additional button like notification bar shortcut can be added
b)smart settings (ex.: when at home: turn on wifi)
c)dual window
d)floating windows of some apps
-Pressing two times volume down opens camera. Two times volume up - QuickMemo (notepad sort of)
-Standy time on battery is amazing (5h 10min on battery and still at 100%)
-Superb camera (good color reproduction, fast focusing, sharp images) which also has very detailed manual mode with different focus, iso, color balance settings
-Has around 20GB of free internal space while sitting on Android 6.0
-MicroSD slot
-3GB of RAM
-FM Radio
-Pretty fast browsing (could've been faster)
-5GHz WiFi support
-Runs games smooth
-Slightly curved
-Doesn't overheat
>Cons
-Corners are too sharp, which makes uncomfortable to hold
-Hardly can reach other side of phone with one hand
-Uncomfortable to hold in one hand, especially when typing or browsing
-WiFi + 30% brightness + SIM signal makes my battery lose 1% every 1.5-2mins, basically it's shit when comes to power using, prepare to get powerbank or additional battery
-Double-tap sometimes doesn't work for like 3 times in a row
-Brown leather back after a few days in my jeans pocket started to get minor black stains (what the heck)
-3.5mm jack is at the bottom is absolute cancer, especially if your headphones come with angled connector (quadbeats has it)
>He fell for the "Smartphones need more than 1080p screens" meme

i am looking to upgrade my old galaxy s3 to something a bit more modern, but i cannot decide on what phone is best suited for what i need, any advice would be appreciated.
i'm in canada and my carrier is bell. here's my general guidelines for what i am looking for:
- i do a lot of work outside in the elements so a bit of durability would be ideal
- good audio quality is a definite plus
- battery life isn't a huge concern, as most of the time my phone is in airplane mode when i'm out of the house
- don't really care about the quality of camera
- i don't use any social media, so i do not require anything geared towards that shit
- size wise somewhere in that neighborhood of the s3, nothing overly huge
-budget is upwards of $500
>>54767289
They don't, but it does look nicer.
I miss my g3 just because of how nice the screen was.
Thoughts? Good price? Good phone?
>>54767243
Where you're buying from has nothing to do with this. Xiaomi has locked bootloader on all their phones that you can unlock with a request.

>>54767423
I can't tell if you're a virgin or just have downs syndrome if you buy your phone based on if girls recognize it or not
Whats the best phone I could get with $420 AUD? SD card slot is a must. At or below 5 inches would be nice.
>>54767510
Probably not. How does it even trigger bootloop?

Xperia Z3, Xperia M5, OPX.
Just did a complete teardown of my Nexus 6P yesterday.
Not nearly as much of a hassle as people said, though I did have a couple "Oh fuck it's dead forever" moments.
Pic related before.
>>54767900
After first attempt at switching the phone's housing. I got retarded and slipped the prying tool between the screen and the screen's housing, instead of between the screen's housing and phone's housing, so I had to order a new screen housing and engage on a second, much deeper teardown.
>>54767921
After second teardown, took the opportunity to also change the fingerprint scanner.
>>54767935
A shot of the front, looking gucci.
(also had to do some epic gymnastics to take those pics with my laptop's webcam).

It's the best chink phone and possibly the best phone period right now
>>54768336
Yea, but Fi is prepaid. So you have to pay the $30 or whatever for the service immediately after you register the phone.
I'm not sure how the phone number thing would work, whether it's tied to your SIM or the phone. Fi gives you the option of transferring your number but I'm not sure if you can get a new one from them and still use your old one afterwards. Might take some finicking

Guys, since I have a new phone (Oukitel K6000) I have a problem with whatsapp.
It always seems to delete all of my media every friday afternoon for some reason. Messages are unaffected, other apps like Telegram too.
It's just whatsapp.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?
>>54768813
The Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have this problem.
>>54768844
Oh, actually, I just noticed, it doesn't seem to delete once a week, rather on shutdown. As I restart my phone every friday, it deletes friday.
Is the OPX the only recent phone worth buying that has FM Radio?
Is it rootable?

So I've got an old Samsung Galaxy Ace(2011, single core, arm v6 phone) on which I put CM7 and uninstalled what I don't need.
And now I'm wondering what more can I do to squeeze every last bit of performance from it.
What would be the absolutely most light weight launcher, keyboard etc. ?
Mind you it's not my main or even backup phone, I'm doing it for the fun of it. I'm impressed how well it runs as it is.
>>54767362
cheap and (very) good battery life, but the processor/graphics unit (MTK6753) is garbage
>>54769610
Play around with custom roms from xda. Launcher, keyboad etc. wont make much of a difference.
>>54769696
It seems like all of them add on top of CM, or are based on some newer version of CM and I'm pretty sure Android 4.0 or 4.4 will run like ass.

>>54770497
I had to buy a phone today, so I don't regret not waiting for the new model.
>>54770508
If it's going to lag, it'll be because of software. I can deal with software, 4 cores should be enough for my needs. I'm probably not going to use any CPU and GPU intensive apps anyway.
Question time /spg/
Do you use NFC? Why? What apps do you use for NFC? Why doesn't every smartphone have this shit already?
I've just found my phone has this shit and I don't know what to do with it.
>>54770497
>>54770433
That's still a shitty deal for $165. you could get a Mi4c(SD808) or Redmi Note 3 Pro (SD650/2gb) for that price. both of them are about million time better.
>>54770504
The Huawei P8 Lite it's £110 here so its highly under budget for you has 2GB ram and 1.2GHZ octocore processer.
>>54770617
I needed the phone today and Samsung has 24 months warranty. There were no chinkphones in the store I went to. I don't trust chinkphone companies enough.
>>54770662
>>54770433
If it has AMOLED and SD slot then it's more worth enough
>>54770747
It does have amoled and SD slot and a swappable battery. I just don't know whether I should buy a case for the phone or not.
I've seen too many cracked screens in new smartphones.
I could throw my old Xperia Play around and it'd never crack.

Help me out here lads, my phone is absolutely fucking RIDDLED with adware. To quote The IT Crowd, were my phone a person I'd shoot it in the face.
What software can yous recommend for Android that'll help me out? I already tried some cheap shit from the Google Play store, and that actually worked briefly, but then things got so much worse.
I have adverts popping up on my home screen, often three or four one after the other, and it all occurs at maybe 20 second intervals. I can't use my phone for shit.
>>54771088
Factory reset.

My sister graduates from highschool tomorrow and I want to get her a new cellphone for college. I was thinking of picking up a 5X for $250 through Project Fi, any thoughts?
>>54771611
Don't disappoint her anon. She wants an iPhone like all of her friends
>>54771617
I'd be willing to pay the premium for an iPhone if I could pay through installments without having to sign up for a contract. Just the access fee alone would be half what I'm paying for my own line, fuck that.
Also, she's never owned an Apple product before, but I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted one just to fit in.
>>54771793
I don't follow. The only reason I would get an iPhone is if SHE wanted it, not me. I'm content with my Nexus 5, I just want to get her something newer and not a piece of shit without breaking the bank.
>>54771844
Sorry tell to tell you bro but if your sis values status over practicallity she is more than likely a piece of shit. A gift is a gift be grateful you got one.
>>54771900
She's using a shitty chink phone from Walmart right now, I think she'll be grateful enough. I haven't even asked her if she wanted a phone yet since I live halfway across the country, so I wouldn't know either way until I mention it. I just wanted to know if anyone here has anything bad to say about Fi for the 5X.
>>54771958
Get her another chink and tell her it's N5X, its not like she'd know.
>>54771958
Well if you wanna do something nice yet save money, get the Huawei P9, yes it is a chink phone but it does all of the things a Z5 does for a significant reduction in cost, the only extra things these cunts offer you are extra trinkets such as waterproof etc. Which don't really mean anything unless you're an autist that can't help drop their shit in the toilet.
What does /g/ think of Huawei?
I'm a really poorfag who just found a job, and I was thinking of buying a Huawei P9 lite. On one hand I'm not familiar with this brand, also they're chinese, which is always a red flag. On the other hand, one of my friends swears by his P8 lite, and keeps shilling that it's a good phone.
Should I believe him? Also, how realiable are these phones? The P9 has an IP68 rating which sound extremly cool, because I love using electronics near water, but yeah, I'd kinda trust this more if it was a bigger brand.

>>54773800
Looks good on paper, wait for some reviews about the audio quality.
>>54773891
idk what are the usual price ranges of different phones
Best phablet? Looking at the Sony z5 premium and the lg v10.
>>54766857
Screen is just exaggerated
>>54773800
It looks like an amazing value.
Good 5" phone that isn't overpriced crap? Needs to have an sd slot, not be Sony and not be the redmi 3
>>54773962
$100-$700, how much you got?
>>54773208
I just want huge battery and a phone that's able to run updates for some years. A cpu on pair with a 820 (yeah I know only geekbench the gpu isn't that good for being on pair in antutu) and 6gb ram would be sweet for this.
Or should I get a v10 with zerolemon? The screen is a bit too big for my taste, 4gb ram seems okay but getting a 808 for 450€ plus zerolemon seems heavily overpriced.
>>54774084
Mi4c.
>>54774109
Just get a G4 then. The V10 is an expensive premium phone with super selfie camera and other gimicks.
Is the galaxy S7 (not the edge) worth buying. Money isn't a problem here but my past with samsung devices has always been like this:
>supports the phone for 1 year or less
>then no OS/security updates for the rest of your life
I do love system updates and hope I can get the N version of android after some months of its release.
>>54774109
No, V10 is shit. K6000 looks nice but if it has problems with whatsapp it's useless. that's the problem with unknown chink brands, you never know what you gonna get. the Ulefone Power also had a problem with not receiving whatsapp and telegram messages that was only fixed few weeks ago with their android 6.0 update.
Is there a 5 inch phone (or smaller) that's less than $400 and has wireless qi charging in it? Please be newer than the Nexus 5.
>>54774167
No.
Buy a phone that's Cyanogenmod compatible.
>>54774167
Get a HTC 10 if updates are important.
Warranty covers the bootloader too
>>54769643
How garbage? How does it compare to the SD615 in my sisters phone?
>>54772716
DELETE THIS
>>54774264
It's not bad at all, its good for casual uses e.g. browsing music chatting and all that stuff. probably not suited for gaming. the SD615 however is an overheating abomination, SD616 is the fixed version.
>>54774109
Iirc wasn't the heliox20 just 5000 points behind the SD820 in antutu?
>>54774332
True, but her oppo with the SD615 runs pretty smooth, so if that's alright then so should the mtk6753 be alright too?
>>54774385
Yeah it should run everything fine. it's on a million other chink phones.
>>54774122
seems nice. I mean, no sd-slot and {Frequency response Noise level Dynamic range THD IMD + Noise Stereo crosstalk
Xiaomi Mi 4c +0.01, -0.04 -94.7 90.8 0.0026 0.0095 -95.3
Xiaomi Mi 4c (headphones attached) +0.03, -0.08 -94.4 90.6 0.0026 0.034 -47.6 <------} and a back that isn't curved. Probably gonna buy this though, thanks
>>54772219
I have a Mate 8 and it's really good. I wouldn't change it for any other phone right now.
>>54774541
Right, forgot about the SD slot. it's the cheapest SD808 you can find though (same SoC on the N5X) and 5".
>>54770504
New Moto phones don't use OLED fyi
Zuk Z2 Pro
Oneplus 3
Zenfone 3
ZTE Axon 7
Hopefully atleast one of them will be a really good device for its value.
>>54774167
You'll get 2 years of support including monthly security updates. Will probably get up to Android O on the S7 before suppprt ends. The S5 is still getting updates.
If you tend to upgrade your phones every 2 years like most people then it's nothing to worry about.
>>54774163
I couldn't care less about selfies.
>G4 then.
Kek it has the same cpu didn't know that how do they justify their prices. But bootloop and 3gb ram is holding me back. There's Don't know if 3gb will be enough in more than two years.
>>54774176
Not receiving messages seems to be a much bigger problem. This media thing is probably some failed permissions but I'm just a rookie.
>>54774385
If my memory isn't lacking it was around 40000 points. Ca 85000 vs 130000
I just got a G4 in, its a sprint model thats unlocked and I am trying to use it on T-Mobile. It sends and recieves SMS fine and gets 3g data, however it wont get LTE and won't send or receive MMS.
I have added APN settings for tmobile LTE and still no dice. I have considered rotting it and flashing a tmo rom, though I don't know if that would fix it either.
Anyone have any advice or experience using a sprint G4 on a GSM network?
I need recommendations guys, help me and I'll mail you a floppy disk loaded with pictures of pizza rolls.
>Live in United States, Northern Kentucky - carrier is AT&T
>Prefferably has LTE coverage, not a must.
>Would like something slightly durable, I work construction on the side.

Thanks in advance to for any help, if you explain your recommendations I'd be very appreciative.
>>54775043
Galaxy S6 active.
Durable and very capable, should easily last a couple of years.
>>54766810
>>54766823
I will give you $1000000000 if you buy a 32gb iPhone 6 or 6s
why the fuck those chinkphones do not have nfc just because its on mediatek, fuuck
>>54775115
Thank you for responding, but the GS6A is a 600 dollar phone without the next payment plan. Then it's nearly 30 dollars a month for two years. It's simply not in my budget.
>>54775167
Oh, I figured since its ~£250 outright here you'd easily get it for around $300 given how much we get fucked on tech prices.
dear canadians
what smartphone plan are you guys on?
>>54775043
Xperia Z3 is still kinda good.
OnePlus 2 is good @ $300.
Blackview BV6000 is a rugged IP68 waterproof phone on the cheap ~$200.
Could also get a chink with a huge battery ala K6000 Pro/Ulefone Power but I'm not sure if they have American/AT&T bands.
>>54775191
I don't bother with smartphone plans, especially when Shaw Wifi is pretty much everywhere where I live.
$30 a month for my G4 on Fido
>>54775187
Lucky. I know a guy selling a broken one for $100, the screen is mangled though. Repair service would come out to about 250 dollars, I think I might look into it. Thanks again.
>>54775200
Thanks for taking the time to give me these recommendations.
I've considered the OnePlus 2. Is there any advantage over the OnePlus X or OnePlus One, other than better hardware? I don't need a blazing fast phone. Just something that will make calls, let me browse the Internet, and play music. I'm pretty easily pleased. I was using a Galaxy S3 until a few months ago until I dropped it off a roof hanging shingling.
>>54775311
I suppose the OPX should enough for you then. it has a smaller screen and a smaller battery but the SD801 is still has a speedy chip that should be adequate for some time. do note that they are launching OP3 in June 14th, so they could also announce OPX2 or something, which might lower the OPX price even further.
But for $200 it's a good deal I guess.
My redmi 3 pro screen protector just came in yesterday, ordered on the same day as my redmi 3.
So fucking hyped.
>>54775115
You would think so.
>>54775549
And this is why I'm not afraid of chinkphones. At least when it happens it won't cost me $1200 because it's not an iPhone or the latest samsung flagship.
>>54775549
That can happen to literally anything with a battery in it.
U.S.A
Verizon
Gaming, and 6inch or larger screen.
No issue for budget.
>>54775608
Wait for Note 7
>>54775608
Samsung tab s2
>>54775590
Galaxy's have been known to do this though, specifically the S4 but still, there is a recurring theme.
>end of day
>approaching 6 hours SoT
>still 48% battery left
On my old G4 I'd be under 5% by now. S7 truly is awesome.
>>54775692
Could happen to literally any phone. I don't know what grudge you have against Samsung, but you sound ridiculous.
Samsung manufacture their own lithium batteries for fucks sake.
>>54775759
I don't have a grudge other than that phone filled my room with smoke while I was sleeping.
There are multiple lawsuits against Samsung because of the S4. It's well known they had a huge overheating problem.
Is blackberry still the best smartphone without cameras?
Going to start working on a military installation soon and if you have a phone it cannot have a camera or you have to drill the lens.
>>54776002
What Blackberries don't have cameras?
Better off finding a phone with an easily removable lens

What do you guys think of the Asus zenfone max pro?
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_362317.html
why is everyone saying that the Sony M4 Aqua is trash?
its specs look really good on paper for that price
>tfw One M7s are now 150 AUD on ebay
This is nice. Gonna grab a couple as backups and put the latest insertcoin+elementalX on there.
>>54775191

Not on a data plan.
I'm still using Rogers' promo from 2 years ago.

Don't need data as there's wifi everywhere you go now.

Im so sorry for your money exchange being worth a shit.
why does everyone hate android lolipop on cheap phones?
>>54777783
Enjoy your slowmo performance, zero updates and non existing quality control.
I'm curious about the battery of this phone, has somebody got it? Could it lasts one day of average use?
>>54777880
Isnt it the J Line little brother?
Its shit. Get a chinkshit or a old flagship.
>>54777892
You realize that some of us have to replace our phones almost immediately because of work right?
Not everyone can afford to wait 2 months for Xiaomi to put their redmis on a ship that will cross the Atlantic.
>>54777892
Is hard to find a phone with 4,5'' screen or less, I'm done with my S2
>>54777936
Next time dont drop your phone fatty.

I'm not fat cause I work all day, unlike you NEETs

Hey all. Oldfag and poorfag here. Live in East Texas.
Been using a Samsung Galaxy S3 for 3 years on Straighttalk. Verizon towers in my area. This has been my first smartphone. I've been wanting to upgrade to a Note 4 but have been waiting on a price drop. Plan to buy off Amazon as I have gift cards saved up. I figure it will get cheaper when the Note 6 comes out but not sure when that is. Any advice on when to buy and what model of the Note 4 to get?
I mainly want it for the larger screen as its hard for me to read and punch the keyboard. Or is there s better phone out there for s similar price range with a large screen? I also play a lot of mobile games if that makes a difference.
>>54777996
Until August if you are lucky.
>>54774100
well what do people who don't really need anything fancy but still want something decent usually pay for phones? ~$300?
Looking to upgrade soon but they got rid of contracts? So now I have to pay an additional monthly charge on my bill in order to lease a fucking phone or pay full price? Explain this shit.
>>54778057
I paid 200 aud for my redmi 3 pro, but I would have been fine with the 120aud k4000 pro too. I like having the extra power in my phone.

Please help I got an galaxy s4 and I cant disable trip advisor, can't disable play books/music/videos/photos/games, can't disable s translator, can't disable samsung hub, can't disable google+, can't disable optical reader, can't disable chrome
it feels like my phone is trapped in a google prison
how do I set it free?
>>54778346
By power I meant performance.
What's your problem?
>>54778481
Shills ruining the thread with their chinkshit.
>>54778495
Find me something better value for 200 aud than the redmi 3 pro or the redmi note 3 Snapdragon edition
>>54778522
What if i find you a job instead Ching Lu?
How did I do? Should I have gotten the evo+?
>>54778538

I work in a computer store, and I actually like my job. I've always loved working with computers.

>>54779463
What's wrong with Oukitel?
>>54779701
If you're gonna be tracked and have your metadata sold, at least take part in good ol fashioned American consumerism and get some normie shit like a nexus 5x
>>54779993
Is that seriously the only issue? Other than the standard chinkphone shit like no updates.
>>54766937
If thats the only thing you do with a phone why would you pay 400$/€ for it?
>>54778387
Aosp! Xda is sadly your only place for salvation
Is the LG G5 pretty much the best choice for someone looking for an SD card slot and a decent removable battery?
I'm so glad I didn't sell my 5x. Snap was slow, it would lag at 250 SOT+ hrs, etc etc. Just a bunch of problems from owning it in Feb to Now.
But after the May security update, this thing is a fucking beast. I can't wait until full N comes out too and see the Nexus go to work.
I can go on this thing for almost 4.5hrs SOT, an hour more than the last update, snap is great, no lag for over 300+hrs,it's fucking unbelievable what patches can do.
it is possible to reduce your phone bill by 'downgrading' your phone? the screen on my iphone5 broke and im looking ro get a way from apple. also, is the lg g4 a good phone? galaxy s5? which is better the g4 or s5? right now i lean towards g4 because i like the way it looks
Where do I buy a chinkphone at. I don't want to wait a month or two from aliexpress
No one should buy an iPhone 6.
Because 7 is coming soon.
What would you do?
Keep dying Moto X Pure, get HTC 10, or get 6P
Open to other ideas
