hey lads, /pol/ack here, first time on /g/ and need help
I'm looking for a good cheaper android, mainly I want good performance and display so I can watch HD (preferably fullHD) porn smoothly, good battery is a plus but not necessary, don't really give a fuck about camera since I don't use it much anyway
price range ~$170-270 because I'm a poorfag
I found several Lenovo's that fit in precisely, but unfortunately I am strongly against buying anything from China
I'm in Europe btw

With a budget like that, you can probably get a flagship phone from 2014. >>55633417 has already given you a good suggestion. I suggest a Sony Z3/Sony Z3 Compact, pretty decent phone.

MY PHONE'S SCREEN IS CRACKED WHEN I DROPPED IT

WHAT DO?

It still works but I'm worried it might crap out for good later.

LG G3

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U31HSHO

Has a 2560x1440 screen, 3GB of RAM, removable and upgradable battery, 32GB internal + microsd slot and LG somehow has the balls to sell it for $200.

>>55633587

Doesn't the LG G3 have bootloop issues like the LG G4?

Is buying a smartphone in Canada some kind of sick joke?

Also how does the G3 stack up against the comparatively priced chinese phones like the Xiaomi Note 3 Pro?

>Also how does the G3 stack up against the comparatively priced chinese phones?
By not being from China.

can anyone comment on the battery life of the moto x pure? is it satisfactory?

Since it wasnt answred in the last thread, I'll try again.

I'm looking for a good phone in the price range 140-180. I'm especially interested in VR.

I'm torn between the LG G2, which I can get used but in good condition for 150€ or the Redmi Note 2 in new condition for 140€.

Which one should I get?

Just got a Redmi Note 3 (qualcomm) on friday and I'm happy with it.

Just like guy from two posts above, trying again.
Budget is no problem. Long batterytime, quick as fuck, screen doesn't even have to be 1080p, size doesn't matter, camera doesn't matter.

I guess battery and speed is most important.

Should I upgrade to a Nexus 5X now or wait for a new one to come out this year?

>>55634009
Forgot, needs to be atleast 64GB if there is no sd expansion.

OnePlus 3 and a new laptop or Galaxy Note 7?

>>55634011
why would you even want 5x to begin with? it's shit.

>>55634040
Because my Nexus 6 is too big and it just broke

Canadian here.
I need to get a phone.
Should I just lock myself into one of those two year contracts? It seems like such a bad idea...

>>55634142
Just pay full price for the phone and then force them to unlock it (they have to unlock it by law)

THe problem with canada is it's hard as fuck to buy a phone outside of carriers.

>>55634142
go for non-ripoffs like OnePlus 3 and Nexus phones (both around 500 dollars) and you can just use prepaid plans and cancel anytime

or get into one of those contracts and get an iphone for 500 dollars and be a slave to the carrier and be milked for two years

if you are rich just buy an iphone(or its likes) for 1000 dollars and use prepaid plans

>>55634180
forgot to say iphones galaxies htc all those are just shameless ripoffs

Brit here with a broken Moto G 1st Gen.

Any advice on a new ~$200 (~£150) phone? Nice camera would be okay but not a must.

Was thinking either Moto G4 (Plus?), or Redmi Note 3 Pro, or OnePlus X...

Because carriers have monopolies on certain models. The only unlocked phones you can buy from bestbuy/staples and the like are previous generations.

Np.

Just be aware that that all sounds comes from the one front facing speaker in the pic, and and you need to download the APK online for some apps due to the phone not being"compatible" with them (games like Pokemon go will work, jus not with the camera function).

What's the best-priced smart watch that I could use with my Galaxy S7?
I heard there was a great number of $50 chinese smartwatches but I feel like only a select few would actually be viable to use

I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy S6 tomorrow. (not an edge)

What should I pick up for it at the same time? Any recommendations for stuff like screen protectors or other extras?

Does it have something to do with the fast charger?

>>55634206
RN3P is always recommended on here.
I own the OPX and while it's good, I would not purchase it anymore. Both sides have weak glass and the phone is extremely slippery.

>>55634867
I'm sorry but the note 3 is just better. Sure muh 1440p screen, but that doesnt even work in its favour (and honestly 1080p is prob better overall when taking battery life, etc. into account.)

Sure 'cause its Chinese it may not have the best reputation, but neither does LG. And the redmi is the fifth most popular phone world wide this half (of course you have to take account all the pakis n' chinks, but still), so it'll have community support for a long time (see cyanogenmod)

I don't know, you tell me.

Amerifag here, Sprint. have a note 3 right now, and it's still holding up strong, but the lack of quickcharge makes battery charging kind of a pain in my ass. (granted I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan so I do way more streaming/gps than the usual user, I don't save to disk or go to a wifi hotspot) My upgrade's pretty soon so price isn't much of an object of concern. Just need something with A) insanely good battery life or B) quickcharge so I can make a magnetic charger for it and fill up in 20 minutes. I like the note's pen however don't use it as much as I thought I would. Thinking about note 6/7 once it gets announced, should I stick with samsung and their shit bloatware, or is there another make that would be good for me? I heard Xperias are good, but I cant find out if they have the magnetic charging cables anymore, which that + quickcharge would suit my needs.

I'm one click away from buying the OP3. Anyone here who owns it and regrets it?

Any reason why I should buy something else?

Is it not literally the best phone on the market right now for the price?

Are updates really THAT slow and unreliable on Oneplus? Do you think it will get at least 2 more Android versions after N?

Are the 6Gb of RAM a meme? I think this is the main aspect that will make it future proof more than any other phone available right now. Android eats RAM like crazy, the main reason why older phone become unusable with age is the low amount of RAM. I think the OP3 is going to last at least a couple of years with amazing performance, then depending on how well OnePlus works on the software, it might either be still decent for at least 2 more years or keep being amazing for another year and then decent for 2 more before becoming completely obsolete. If you go to custom roms, you could possibly squeeze an additional year of usability from it. So my prediction is that it will last 4 to 6 years with no major issues. It seems that the build quality and durability is also top tier and it's easy to open up and repair.

why do people still buy samsung

>>55635360
no msd slot and the screen if they arent a problem for you then click

>>55635364
because they are normie plebs that don't understand anything

Is Project Fi good?

First time poster since I don't really buy smartphones every year.
My current galaxy s2 is slowly dying, meaning the battery went bad and I often get told that my phone is turned off when people call me when it's clearly turned on.

What phone can I get that has good battery life, with a good OS? I only use it for calls, texts and occasionally games. My budget is around 450$

>>55635360
>2 more Android versions
Probably not, but only Nexus devices will
>4-6 years
Yeah, no. Battery life will be shit in 2-3 years.

I really like my OP3, I came from a Samsung Note 4 and it was worth every cent. Just make sure to buy the sandstone black case if you want a case since it's the only one that levels the camera bump.

The interface is nearly full stock and the hardware is very well supported being full qualcomm. If Sony could give 3 android versions to the Z then I think OnePlus will be able to give at least 2 more versions after N.

Who are these "some" people? Everyone I know that has owned a nexus/onecuck phone has complained about not having enough space and usually jumping ship and getting an LG/Samshit phone.

>>55635566
From what I've seen OP3 beats every other phone in multitasking, apps launch really fast, everything runs fast on both.
However Samsung's flagships are just slightly faster when it comes to raw performance in-app.

>>55635539
64Gb is ridiculous already. You're never going to fill up that space unless you take a million pictures and fill it with anime. With some management, cloud uploads, and backups to an external drive (it does support USB OTG anyway) 64Gb will last you a lifetime.

>>55635575
Because G3 is old, has a shit battery, and bootloops as frequently as the G4.

>>55635594
I have a 32GB iPhone 5s from which I'm switching right now and I don't think there was a single time I maxed out the storage on it.
Now you know someone who didn't need the extra space.

Since when? Also, I've owned the S4 and due to samsung built in bloatware, when the new version of Android which eats ram like a hungry hambeast gets released the system will be bogged down and everything will slow to a crawl. The S4 is still capable hardware wise, but due to samcuck's unrelenting bloat the system runs like shit on Lollipop with the stock rom. Also on Samsung your modding ability is limited by Knox and other bullshit. The OP is fully unlocked by default so you'll be able to rely on bored indians with too much free time on XDA when OnePlus stops delivering the goods.

>>55635502

Okay, thanks. So what is the best phone in this price-range (140-180)?

OK I get it that there's Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 3 Pro and the latter one has a better camera.

But then I find out there's Redmi Note 3 Pro with 2 GB RAM and Remi Note 3 Pro with 3 GB RAM (same name though)

Fine, I'll take Redmi Note 3 Pro with 3 GB RAM

But now I find out there's Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-3-Pro-Prime-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM-5-5-Smart-Phone-GREY-DHL-/112032530301

I'm considering getting either a top end Zenfone 2 or a Galaxy S5, however I'd like to know if anyone has had any issues with the Zenfones.

>>55635644

What if I just use my phone for calls and pokemon go?

I downloaded Pokemon Go early and I think I might've infected my Galaxy S6 with something malicious.

What do?

>>55635566
>how good are the mophie battery packs?

>Also, how does the s6 compare the the OP3?

S6:
slightly better display
slightly better camera
sd card slot

OP3:
better performance
better battery life
way better OS
no bloat

I would go with the OP3, nothing beats that stock android experience
>>55635599
>However Samsung's flagships are just slightly faster when it comes to raw performance in-app.
Snapdragon 820 vs 810 should seal it for the OP3
>>55635640
Just buy it from their website? I got mine in less than a week

>>55635673

Is the RN3P powerful enough for VR? I can get the 16GB model with global rom for 160.

>>55635629
The OP3 already is slightly faster than the S7, that's because of the samsung bloatware running in the background. When Android 8 Hambeast comes out the S7 will slow down to a crawl like every Samsung phone before because the bloatware will saturate the ram.

Seriously you cucks need to stop falling for le samsung meme. The samsung are meme phones, there's no way to deny it. They're amazing when they come out then Samsung, most likely on purpose, fucks them up performance wise with shitty updates to force all the cucks to buy the new model.

>>55635701
Get the one with bigger RAM

>>55635665
It's the same 3/32 version, it's just marketing.

>>55635675
No. they're complete shit.

What if you need to change your battery for Redmi 3 cause, for example, it's been recharged too many times and now the battery life is bad. How do you do it if the battery is not reomvable? Why do they do this with unremovable b atteries?

>>55635680
If that's all you use it for then you're better off with last year's Nexus or some midranger like the P9 Lite or the MotoG 3.

Speaking of the MotoG3, I bought it for my little brother who basically does nothing but calls, whatsapp and various shovelware including Pokemon, and it's ridiculously fast despite the merged storage with a crappy class4 SD card and it being the 1Gb ram version. That's how much difference having a clean system makes.

Again, after having used Android since the SonyEricsson X10 Mini running 1.6, I am convinced that the main issue is RAM on android. Right now my daily driver, the Sony Z3, got stolen along with my S4 (which was used as backup phone, and yeah I was retarded leaving them both in the car), so I'm using an Xperia Arc S, it was 2011's flagship from Sony and it ran so well back then, but now it's LITERALLY unusable because all the google services and even the basic apps keep saturating the ram. When the ram is not saturated the phone runs fine even on modern apps like Whatsapp or Youtube, but as soon as you multitask the ram gets full and due to the loading and unloading of apps it slows down to a crawl. Right now I'm trying to downgrade it from stock ICS to some slimmed down version of Gingerbread because it's unusable.

Huawei P9 Lite or Moto G4 (regular one)? I'm looking for phone for my mother. Needs:
>smooth performance for at least 2 years
that's why I'm currently leaning towards Moto, because of stockish Android
>camera
doesn't matter
>battery
should last 1 day of heavy use

Looks and feel in the hand don't matter that much, since she probably will put it in a case anyway.

Any advice /g/?

Price and bootloop issue.

IS there something better for the price compared to the blu r1 hd for $60 an Amazon?

What is the best Nexus phone relative to the price?
I'm a bit of a poorfag but I want something that is going to last a long time so I don't mind dropping wads.

No.

nexus devices still get a bunch of unofficial roms to extend their life, but do other android manufacturers even get close.
It seems that you either buy a new device with an up to date android version and get an update if your lucky
or buy a mid range crap device that is already running a 2 year old android release

>>55636112
Not really.

>>55636156
N5X.

>>55636088
Buy the Amazon Prime Edition for $130. It's easily rootable.

>>55636183
Thanks anon, benchmarks are impressive.

Ah, forgot to mention that there's only 2GB RAM variant of P9 Lite in my country.

>>55636183
Is the moto bad though? Bought one online a week ago as a gift for my dad to upgrade from a Samsung exhibit 2

>>55636209
I don't need root, I don't have any Amazon editions available here. Just regular ones.

>>55636261
P9 then

>>55634056
Just went from a semi-broken Nexus 6 to a 5X.

6 started to get laggy after a while, 5X performs pretty well. Battery is about the same. Camera is way better. Speaker meh. Design and size? I was a phablet fan but I think I prefer the 5X size. I don't lose out on usability and it isn't xboxhueg now.

>>55636235
>>55636238
It's not bad but SD617 is a rather weak SoC.

>>55636334
what are the first things to do on a 5x?
other than root

Why would you buy anything other than the OP3 in that pricerange?
You could argue storage, but if you don't use your phone for storing everything, the OP3 is the best.

>>55636453
Cry yourself to sleep because you got a phone without a msd slot.

>>55636488
>no msd slot
>ancient 1080p screen from the 90's

Fuck I'm so confused.
From lurking I've heard that the OP3 and Nexus5x were good but also apparently they are shit.
I've also heard that the Xiaomi Note 3 whatever is good but also that it is chink garbage.

I just want to buy a phone.

N's developer preview 5 is out for nexus devices.

>>55636556
the 5x is decent for the price

>>55636556
OP3 has great pricing for what it offers. It may have a bad battery, but for 20$ you get a station with 10000mAH, which means you can recharge it three times with ease.

>>55636191
i really wish i had had a better experience with the iphone 3g. the graph there might be accurate re: it's update history but it's misleading because ios 4 rendered the device almost unusable.

it was so bad i'll probably never buy another iphone again. don't get me wrong though, i switched to galaxy s3 and i'd think long and hard before considering another samsung product either.

>>55636621
>It may have a bad battery
Seemed like it's estimated to have 3.5-4.5 hours SoT on average though, that's not terrible.

>>55636503
I never used more than 15 to 20 GB on any phone I have ever used. It's a phone not a computer ffs. I just a few music albums in v2 format and that's about it

>>55636653
Not terrible, more towards average, lower end.
It's still great for the price though, but I really would recommend spending the 20$ extra for the charger.

>>55636726
what phones are getting 4.5+ SoT's on average?

I need some help choosing a flagship. I live in Iceland, so it has to be an unlocked phone, and it also kind of eliminates the OnePlus 3, but I could get it if I jump through some hoops if it truly is the best choice.

My main concerns are battery life and performance. Screen performance is also nice.

Some things I prefer:
>USB Type-C
>Fast charging
>Roughly 5.5" screen size
>Good performing DAC

I don't care for memes like selfie cams and fingerprint scanners.

The S7 Edge looks like the phone that delivers on most of the things, especially battery life and screen performance, but it has a micro-usb port and slower charging than the OnePlus. Also fucking expensive as shit.
The V10 is great apart from the shitty battery, apparently.
The Nexus 6p looks nice aside from how oversized it is.
OnePlus 3 looks overall to be one of the best choices, but it's hard to get.

Any thoughts?

I'm not saying it's a bad phone. Only real shame is the non removable battery and sd slot, but 64gb should be more than enough for the average user.

>>55636770
save some $ and get a 5x

>>55636796

What's the difference between it and the 6p?

>>55636775
i've always found it a bit difficult to get a read on gsm arena's battery numbers. i'm not the guy you've been talking to btw.

i've got a nexus 6p and i struggle to get 4.5hr+ sot numbers unless i'm streaming a bunch of video.

Thanks senpai

>>55636770
Screen performance as in resolution?
Also, for OP3 just order from their site.
The screen resolution isn't THAT great, but the ppi sort of makes up for it, so if you're switching from an older phone it should still feel very nice.

>>55636775
Kind of a moot point when most of the high-battery ones are either depreciated or non-US Chinkphones

Most flagships these days get 3.5, maybe 4.5/5 at best with outliers like the S7 Edge and Exnoys versions

>>55636964
I think it's a great phone for the price, that's why I recommend spending the extra 20$.

Upgrading from a N5 in about a month, I would've gone for the S7, but it's too expensive. Some stuff that would be nice:

>Bigger screen than the N5
>Good battery
>Preferably SD slot

That's pretty much it, any suggestions?

has anyone noticed the thing in samsung phones where it starts getting slower and slower the more you use it? my family loves samsung products and literally every product they bought is like that except notes

last thread anon recommended the RN3P to me.

its so cheap i cant believe that everythings alright with this phone... somone got experience and noticed some problems ?

>>55636653
It's pretty terrible compared to 8-12hrs that a lot of cheaper phones do these days.

>>55637225
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

>>55637270
You don't get it for the battery though; cheaper phones don't offer what it does. Battery, sd slot and resolution are really the only 3 "bad" things about it.

>>55637267
Camera and rear speaker is weak and where they saved money.

Everything else is good. Less band support but I always have LTE on Telus in Canada. Have never gotten this phone to lag on stock. CM13 is still unstable.

>>55637308
Dunno if I'd be able to tell the difference between a sd650 and sd820. Does not seem worth halving battery life for that.

so the redmi note 3 pro is only useable in america if you have t-mobile? not sure its worth switching over for a single phone

>>55637352
Works on other carriers. It has LTE band 4 and unlockable band 20 that aren't properly advertised.

>>55637312
i dont really care about the camera 5MP front sound okay and i have headphones so

what about CM13 tho ? what do you mean by unstable ?

>>55637397
By unstable I mean just that. Missed calls because the phone says it has service when it has none, random crashes from play services and everything else. Never got GPS working.

I'm talking about builds from like a week ago. It mostly works but at the same time there's little broken shits everywhere.

Moto G4 Plus or Nexus 5X? Right now I'm leaning toward the Moto G4 Plus.

>>55636943

Color reproduction and resolution, sure.

>>55635688
>S6
>sd card slot

>>55637342
Which phones are you comparing to the op3 though?

>>55633366
never go wrong with the nexus 5x

is there any way to use a nexus device without google dick being in the phone's ass

Nexus 5x or OP3?
Does the quad core outweigh the lower ram?

>>55635978
I have a Gear S2. It's decent enough but there's very little app support compared to Android Wear devices sadly.

>>55637288
wait is that true or just a meme most of my other old products work completely fine except the samsung also android updates killed 2 batteries of mine i've been trying to get my parents to not buy lots of samshits but they really dont listen to me

>>55636770
If you can get over the size, the 6P is god tier.
Or wait until the HTC Nexus later this year. Probably will include better speakers and build quality.

>>55635563
>>55635626
Lmao, is this normal in americuckland? I play 20€ for unlimited 100/50 Mbit LTE per month, and it actually works at max speed all the time.

>>55635828
Good luck doing that and fucking up your phone or laptop's USB ports when you snag the Cable on literally anything.

>>55635841
Right? fucking hate that Samsung abandoned the removable battery. You could just order some spares and keep a few day's worth of juice in your backpack without a problem.

How can i get more life out of my s3?

I wanted to play pokemon so I had to root and get a custom roam (cyanogen 11) to run it since I was stuck on 4.2. Other than overheating and crashing during pokemon the phone works pretty well so I don't really want to have to by another.

The 1GB RAM seems like the biggest issue with the phone even with nothing running I have 441MB used, 391 MB available RAM.

I don't know shit about custom ROMs - is there a more lightweight one?

>>55637871
Just stick with stock MiUi and everything works.

>>55637855
Apple and Samsung are definitely doing it.

so what is a relatively cheap phone with a good battery(pokemon/music) and support for SDXC? (micro sim)

>>55638001
but when you have MiUi you dont have any Google services dont you ?

>>55637438
Any older versions of CM you liked? I'm thinking about getting the same phone on the same carrier.

>>55638160
redmi note 3 pro for cheapest/best bang for buck option avaliable

one plus 3 for more expensive but still relatively cheap when compared to other flag ship devices

>>55638175
lol wut? of course you do.

>>55638175
yes. get global rom for english and all the chinese shit gone (if your phone didnt ship with it already pre-installed.)

MIUI 8 is in open beta and full release is coming early August I believe? Looks pretty good too.

Is using unofficial builds of CM safe for my data? I'm stuck using an ancient Xperia phone and the only way to make this piece of shit usable that I found was using the unofficial CM Build called "LegacyXperia".

Does upgrading Android on a smartphone reflash it?

Let's say the firmware of my Android phone is compromised (theoretically)

Will updating Android on the phone get rid of the compromised firmware?

Or do I have to flash stock firmware using odin and whatnot?

galaxy s6 edge+

I have it mounted in my car with one of these, no case. twice so far, the battery would go from 30% or so to dead. turning it back on has it around 5%.

QUESTION: is having it sit on this magnetic mount causing this issue? the phone has no case on it, just bare bones on the mount.

>>55638333
Correct.

>>55638175
I'd say the zte warp elite. It's a boost mobile locked phone but you can just skip the activation and put it on airplane mode and use it as a 1337 mini tablet (screen is 5.5").

You can find it on amazon for like $80. HOWEVER it does not have a gyroscope so you won't be able to enjoy the AR thing in poke-a-mong guh which is highly overrated imho.

has anyone of you used Copperhead OS rom ?

>>55638199
No. MIUI with Nova launcher is perfectly fine. The issues with cm are Xiaomi blob issues, all marshmallow roms are broken. The phone runs great and MIUI is customizable / fine. I mostly wanted the permissions control and firewalling in CM but MIUI has that shit already.
