Every phone feels good when you first get it, even my $14 grocery store phone was exciting at first with all the customization, rooting, debloating, etc. Then it's just another daily driver.
Also enjoy your corrosion, it's a massive defect that affects most 6s and 6s+ models, and Apple will basically tell you to fuck off.

absolutely not, today's phones have octacore cpus (8cores) the g3 only has a quad core (4cores) so it's much much slower
Guys please help me.
My Redmem Note 3 pro arrived, and I want to install the global ROM.

doesn't work.
wat do?
What do you guys think about Asus phones? Thinking of getting that 5000 mAh one, forgot the name.
>>55588292
>Still believing in the ZTE Axon 7 meme?
Well after that video it seems just as good as the mi5 at a similar price with a better screen, better audio and an sd slot.
>>55588449
What are you trying to say? Should they have used a 640p screen like on aplele phones instead?
>>55588461
>>55588486
It actually does very well for being a little old. Usually scores ~900 single-core and ~2700 multi-core in Geekbench 3.
For comparison a 2015 moto e (4 A53 cores @ 1.2 GHz) scores ~450 single-core and ~1400 in multi-core Geekbench 3.
So it's about twice as powerful as a 2015 moto e.
>>55588577
I think those speakers and mic on that thing are highly underrated. Wish more phone manufacturers would use non-shit speakers and mics on phones like ZTE.
>>55588586
That looks good. However, i'm still not sold because it was made 2 years ago. Do you think It will still hold up for the next few years?
>>55587544
Weather timeline, it cost like a dollar but it's worth it.
>>55588269
Why would you get a g3? For 250 you can pick up a g4 off of ebay. Would give OP more peace of mind considering it came out last year.
Am I the only fucking one who hates phones with physical/capacitive buttons and obnoxious, tacky oval samsung like home buttons? Still waiting for a good phone with SD820, plain front and virtual navbar. What do you guys think of oncoming Axon 7? Seems perfect for, as far as I'm aware it's the only phone that meets my three (pretty basic for 21st century I'd say) conditions: Amoled, sd card slot and stereo speakers. Still waiting for it to be released in grey (black would be my perfect color though). Anyone thinks similar here? Also phones without micro sd card slot are garbage.
>>55588938
>tacky oval samsung like home buttons
I hate these, why are they there? Who regularly puts their thumb to the bottom of the phone?
Side/Back buttons, please.
>>55588974
I know, right? It feels more natural for me to just tap with a finger on the back of a phone since it's already there instead of bending my thumb to reach the bottom bezel.
Got a Galaxy core prime! Crickets chirping...
>>55588938
Everything but amoled
moto x style
>>55589063
With virtual bar woops
>>55589063
Why not? I had many phones and since I first saw amoled in my Moto X 2014 I immediately fell in love. Why people say that it's oversaturated and other bullshit like that? What about candy eyesore samsung or apple UI, it's not an eyesore of candiness? The grey, tones colored world is outside everytime I look but when I look at the phone on my screen at the stuff I want to see I want them to look nice, sharp and colourful. Thas why fuck IPS. Also, better battery life.
>>55588673
Definitely. With nearly 3000 in geekbench 3 you have enough juice to multi-task greatly and even play 4K H264 video with 0 problems. The msd slot and removable battery are gonna be your best friends as well. Dead battery? Slap in a new $20 one from amazon or get an extended one? Need more storage? Jam in a 256 or 512GB (coming soon) msd card and call it a day.

There's no reason to upgrade from my unlocked Note 4, is there? Not until Note 7 anyway
>>55589944
No my issue is that I have vertical white lines all over my display and the screen randomly goes black. I didn't even drop the phone so I have no idea how it happened. I thought there was something wrong with the magnetic tape "over" the display ribbon cables or that the ribbon cables weren't probably connected. I tried both with no success. Kill me.
Anyone pick this up?
My Nexus 5 is bootlooping when plugged in and unresponsive when unplugged.
I opened it up and the little power button is physically functional/not stuck.
I would clear partition cache or factory reset but I can't access the bootloader fast enough before it loops again.

What could possibly cause my smartphone battery's charging rate to suddenly plummet? Pic fucking related.
The charging port's a bit loose, but the phone wasn't moved during charging at all. It is always cool to the touch during charging, except when I am playing a game during.
The phone (CM13 nightly, 2500mAh battery) has gone through about a year of medium to heavy use. It takes anywhere from 2.5 to 12+ (!) hours to go from nearly dead to fully charged. Anyone else experiencing such wildly varying charge times?
>>55590441
I think it's overpriced.

I'm giving in. You win /spg/, I'll buy a redmi note 3 pro.
Any dutch bro's in thread that can recommend a webshop? looking for shipment from within the EU and all taxes already paid. I'm googling but keep coming up with sites like xiaomistore.nl and chiphone.nl that sell that phone at like 260-300 euro (290-330 dollar) the value added tax here is very high at 21% but even with that, it's a far cry from the "~200 dollar" of the chink shit wiki guide from the OP

>>55590645
hard to say, it could be anything. Most likely heating and cooling the components over an extended time have created microfractures. So based on whether the battery is expanding or contracting certain fractures will temporarily get pushed together and make contact, leading to faster charging.
That's just a guess, tho.
In other words, start looking to replace your battery.

internal fuckery of battery doesn't always go paired with excessive bloating. I'd say that the fact you said it wildly varied, from 2 to 12 hours to load, alone proves to me that something is wrong with the battery. You could have gotten unlucking in the battery lottery.
That being said, it could just be that it loads super fast up to 50% charged and the trajectory between 80% to 100% is super slow. Looking at your picture, this might be the case. All batteries always charge the last "top" bit slower than the "middle" bit, but usually your software knows this and compensates for it. It's because the most basic way to measure battery load is to measure voltage, and the voltage first drops really slowly, and suddenly starts plummetting at the 50% charge mark, then slows down and asymptotically reaches 0volt at 0% charge.
It would be more useful to have some kind of app/test on all the time and see how long it takes in terms of hours to discharge, and if it keeps getting worse over the course of weeks, then it's 100% a case of bad battery.
>>55591259

Every case I find has mixed reviews with claims of damaging the display.
Also will I need a separate screen protector or will a good case will be enough? I'm reading about S7 Edge screen protectors that they not fit 100% because of the curved screen. So I don't know if they are even practical.

Why do Android fags all act so happy when Samsung beats Apple just for 3 months in the whole entire time? Apple will dominate again once the revolutionary iPhone 7 is released.

I like mine a lot, usually end the day with 60%-ish battery with most of my use being web browsing, twitter, telegram and camera.
if you wanna stream 1080 anime on it all day though you might want something with more juice
>>55591663
You really want a 1080p screen from 2012 and no expandable storage? You know 256GB 90MB/s write microsd cards are out right?
Why not just get an iPhone if you love being cucked so much?
>>55592618
>what can go wrong
Shit band support and no OS updates. It comes with an old version of Android installed.
>>55592710
Hey that pissphone thing was just a ruse some namefag caused right? You don't actually use an iPhone and tell people to get them do you?

Nope. If it's a smartphone it belongs here. chink or otherwise. deal with it or gtfo homo.

Phone I had before the phone I have that's not this ran Android 2.x.x only. Security never compromised, system never crashed. Your "security" is placebo
I'm coming off the Lumia 930, love the form factor of it but sadly wp10 is fucking up too much and I'm ready to make the switch. I can get just about every phone, so which one is the best? I haven't really been keeping up with the phone news.

Just because nobody used the exploits on you doesn't mean that they don't need to be patched.
You wouldn't leave your car unlocked in a neighborhood full of niggers just because you hadn't had it broken into before right?

Fucking mouthbreather lol.
Guys getting S7 on monday.
Any must have apps? Pls respond
>>55592895
Yes I would. People don't break into cars anymore, you are much more likely to be carjacked when you are still in it.
>>55592876
not all chink products are smartphones. Things like chink-watches and various useless chink items go there

Are you a nexuscuck? How do you feel about Samsung releasing a 720Mbps write speed, 256GB microsd card based on extremely durable V-NAND for $199?

They barely talk about phones, only cheap chinkshit like sd cards/mp3 players/mics/headphone etc.. they only meme the RN3P and they don't know shit about any thing else.

Trying to choose between iphone 7 and android. They both seem to be in the same price range.
Hate itunes/bloatware but also hate android UI/design.
>>55592930
Its neat but I'm using 3.2GB out of 16GB on my Nexus 5x.
I think people that would want that on a phone are either AV geeks or they belong on an episode of horders.

I trashed my Moto X 2014 and need a new phone. Like a dumbass, I bought asurion insurance assuming it would cover me. So now I'm looking at a $93 deductible for a probably refurbished, locked S4 with touchjizz.
For $30 more, I can get a refurbed nexus 5 (original) from LG's amazon store.
Or, I can use this shitty shit phone that can barely run kit-kat I have sitting around, and save up some cash for when the moto z force comes out.
(ps. I love vanilla android) What do I do /g/?
>>55593327
I would use the shitty phone and wait to see if Google announces a Pixel phone.
>>55593327
why would you throw your phone in trash?
>>55593349
Its a euphemism Pajeet-san.
>>55593349
That tends to happen to nexus users often.
>>55593361
How much is apple paying you to shill nexus phones to destroy Android phones from within pissphone?

Caterpillar makes phones now? Holy fuck I want it if the screen is shatter-proof.

Any Canucks with an S7 edge still on the April security update? Will unlocking it let me get it sooner?

Any suggestions for a cheap phone to use to play games at home/ test apps on? Don't want to pay a ton, just want to play a few games, and test app builds. Also does not need service.
Yo, I'm more concerned with cheap plans now since most companies have BYOP now. Is Tracphone good? I need to save as much money as possible since I will be unemployed for the foreseeable future.
My phone is a budget Chinese knock-off and the only data I use is for browsing 4chan while taking a shit/public transport.
>>55593711
ZTE War Elite on amazon. Just skip activation and leave it on airplane mode to prevent it from phoning home. Wifi won't home phone btw.
(US, T-mobile) I'm only looking to spend around $200, maybe a little more if it really makes a difference. Some things I'm looking for is a good camera, micro SD slot, and is root compatible. It would also be nice if its something that will be supported for a while in terms of android updates, but not necessary.

Honorbuy or ibuygou have EU warehouses. Good experiences with both.
Dutchfag here as well, now on mi3. Switching away from Xiaomi however because no 4G. That's the only thing the mi5 really misses.
Stupid question.
I'm interested in getting the Moto G3 and found an offer where I can get half price for the first 6 months of the contract if I switch to Three network. Am I right in assuming that I'd need to be on a contract to switch, or can you get away with just having pay as you go with another network? It'd make sense to require a contract, but just wanted to check
Should I get a Note 5 right now? Why/why not?

no microSD slot is the biggest con against it but weighing the options it still seems like the best to me.

I just got an sd card off Ali, so I can use custom recoveries and carry more music with me.
What's a good app that will show what the read/write speeds are so I know how bad it is?
>>55594524
Also is there even reason to think the new Note will be that much better anyway? It has a stupid edge screen apparently.

I got an Honor 5X from the Prime Day sale and actually quite like EMUI 4 and the Hisense features. Is there any way to just get rid of G apps? I've uninstalled a lot of the system apps, but the icons still show up in the Nova Launcher app drawer and it's irritating me. I suppose I could find a way to simply hide the things.
>>55595429
Well fuck, I rebooted and those apps are actually gone now.
I would like to get MicroG on this thing, but keep the fingerprint scanner and Hisense stuff. It seems those features aren't working in CM and its derivatives.
>>55592930
Anyone with a decent phone is fine with the internal storage.
If you are poor and have a shit phone how can you afford a $200 sd card?
>>55589511
You shouldn't be wiping your ass with any phone.
What do you guys think about the Xperia M5?
iPhone 6s masterrace reporting in
>>55595558
Sony is garbage, no updates and mandatory proprietary blobs and apps with built in DRM to cripple functionality.
>>55595596
Why does everyone like the Z3C, if that's true?
Fellow Z3 Compact owners: do you have a case for it and, if so, which one?
In particular I'm looking for something that gets rid of the slipperiness without adding a ton to the thickness of it, but other options are welcome.
>>55595741
Because they think its pretty.
>>55595774
I doubt that's the reason, an actual explanation or you just baiting?
So will the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro work in the US?
>>55595791
If you ignore the DRM shit, how they are overpriced for the specs, and how they are made by Sony, then the only pro left really is that they look nice and have good battery life.
>>55595812
$250 for an 801 and good battery life doesn't seem too bad, though. Can't you use custom roms to get rid of DRM?
>>55595823
Even if you can unlock the bootloader and load a custom ROM they have that DRM in the firmware that cripples the camera.
Do you really want to support Sony? They fucking invented invasive DRM dude.
