Will the LG G4 get Android N?
LG is supposed to be pretty good about updates right?

Yes, LG are very quick to get updates out and support their shit for at least 2 years. G3 was one of the first phones to get marshmallow even though it was already an 18 months old device.

Reviews for the 2 most budget phones with solid battery life.
Should be roughly 90usd each from aliexpress.

I want to get the international version for the unlocked bootloader and the wide range of bands. The only US LTE band it appears to be missing is 12. How important is it?

Pretty much all non chink mayor manufacturer is getting android N on their flagships thanks to Google releasing the update preview early.

And LG usually is fast when it comes to updating their flagships.

Thinking about getting the zte warp elite. Phone specs looks good but it's carrier locked to boost. Anybody here have them, if so how fast is the lte?

Great, that's what I was hoping for

You could get the T-mobile version which has an unlocked bootloader as well.
I don't use data though so I can't comment

But the T-mobile one appears to be missing band 17. Just would like it to be compatible with as many carriers as possible in case I want to switch.

I wouldn't buy a T-Mobile phone without band 12 at this point. T-Mobile is deploying band 12 very aggressively around the US. It has better penetration in buildings and further reach, so it's useful in and outside the city.

Post em bitches

hello spg, i accidentally wiped my entire internal sd on my Galaxy core prime g360t1, how would i go about installing the original android again? i have twrp installed and have odin.

>> looking for tmobile LTE compatible phone
>> No more than $250
>> no bigger than 5.2 inches
>> decent battery & xda community
>> don't really care about camera.

Go to xda, find a stock rom, flash it.

it doesnt have android installed on it, its like a blank usb drive with a twrp folder.

Nexus 5 ~$150 used
Nexus 5x $250 new

Different user here. Go to SamMobile, find the zip for your phone and flash it to the phone when you've set it in download (odin) mode. This will flash everything as stock (even removing the TWRP you've flashed on it).

poster here, i flashed it with the default rom, i owe you my life dear sir.

5x is $229 new

do that

what about the honor 5x? just curious

now whenever i restart the phone, it goes straight to twrp. twrp now detects android as its installed also.

>snapdragon 616 versus snapdragon 808
>adreno 405 versus adreno 418
>5x has superior camera
>5x has ac dual band wi-fi
>5x has bluetooth 4.2

Most important thing is OTA monthly updates straight from google, at least until Android P. You can't beat that shit, seriously.

I'm between phones now, currently on my mother's old xperia x10i updated to jellybean cm, thinking of picking up one of these, since they score 4 times better in antutu and have a HD screen.

Which one of these would be better? Didn't see battery life stats in the leagoo review too.

Intended uses are basic normie shit like snapchat and facebook, the occasional light game like sea battle 2, listening to music, and calls, texts, and web browsing.

Nexus phoned lack a micro sd slot so they're immediately garbage.

That's nice sweety :)

Now go run along with all the other children, we have grown up things to discuss.
No buts!

>physical media
>2015+1

unreal, just run an ssh server on your phone that gets rsynced

or just use the 100GB google drive they give you to use with it

or owncloud

or dropbox

or an OTG flash drive if you are out in the boonies


this is a 2008 problem

>Nexus phoned lack a micro sd slot so they're immediately garbage.
funny, mine has one right at the bottom.

>botnet clouds
>slow storage that goes away when you don't have internet access.
>usb penis dongles
LMFAO

Seriously how do you retarded faggots justify not having a microsd slot in 2016 when pic related exist?

Specs:
~24MB/s write (~200Mbps)
~70MB/s read (~600Mbps)

seriously, wtf is taking up 14-30GB of space on your phone? it sounds like you're a data hoarder

Porn.

In comparison:

3G is
~0.12-0.25MB/s (~1-2Mbps) download
~0.12MB/s (~1Mbps) upload

LTE is
~0.5-1.0MB/s (~4-8Mbps) download
~0.25-0.5MB/s (2-4Mbps) upload

LG G5 or HTC10?

G5 sounds cool, but the modular shit seems like it will be nothing more than gimmick for the next few years. Aside from the battery one I probably wouldn't use it.

Music, usb storage, movies, tv shows, pictures of your mom, ect.

LMAO KEK

HTC 10

Anyone?

Too poor to afford a computer?

Hard choice, both have a microsd slot.

I have a laptop and a desktop in addition to my Note 4.

Yeah, i'd get a Nexus 5x, but i can't stand not having expandable storage. My G4 was stolen, so i'm just going to upgrade.

>Being this socially retarded.
>He needs to be use phone all the time.
Haha what a fucking faglord

HTC10

I used to hate HTC's TouchSense shit with a passion, but the 10 has redeemed them in my eyes. They know they're in dire shit as a company, and boy did they get their act together

shameless bump for answers, sammobile is a 10hr download.

Why not a BLU Life One X?

So I'm torn between the galaxy s7 and HTC 10. I'm leaning HTC 10, but would like to hear opinions(lost my 5s and refuse to suck Steve's cock any longer).
-Verizon
-decent battery life
-micro-sd (they both have it)
-not pablet sized (this is why the s7 edge isn't listed)
-decent internal audio dac

Thoughts? Am I screwing up?

buttblasted google shill detected.

Ironic.

HTC seems like a good choice since it doesn't come with bloatjizz

hellow how to help battery on fagget non-rooted G4 yes thank you

>Google
No, I can afford a 128gb iPhone 6s+ and an unlimited data plan unlike you, so I dont need to worry about my chinkphone running out of internet and carry all my shit wherever I go.

Go away pajeet

Where to buy in aus?

Also, poorfag student so I don't want to spend more than a $120 aus on it.

Thanks for the reply btw.

Even if it did, couldn't I flash it(or any Android compatible phone) with stock Android? Sorry, I'm new to the Android game so I'm a little naive.

I've had a 64gb droid turbo since launch. I have tons of music and romset up to n64 on here and I have plenty of space left. What in the world are you keeping on your phone? HD videos of your wife and her bull?

>Average android user.
>Poor and naive.
Wew

>implying
I was right this whole time.

There are no true unlimited data plans. All have a soft data cap of 20-30GB and after that they will throttle you to 2-4Mbps.

But maybe I'm wrong, if so then what carrier gives you 600Mbps lte download 24/7? I'd love to know that.

Not really, I used to have a job and good money when I bought my Nexus 5.

Being able to waste money doesn't make you rich.

Sorry, I'm just a fag with a non-unlocked phone and besides greenify and debloating shit I'm not sure what I can do besides buy a fresh battery.

Pajeet pls

Gonna have to stop you right there.
You were completely right about everything else but this.

I believe MetroPCS has a truly unlimited data plan.
That being said, though, faggots like him never own their own phone, and the plan I know about is prepaid.

see

Coming off like a fanboy, eh?

Should I buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro now or wait for OnePlus 3, because of VR? Is phone VR a meme?

I see a connection.
Who could be behind these posts?

Personally, I'd rather have phone VR than any of the alternatives.

>"Based on network statistics for the most recent quarter, customers who use more than 25GB of data during a cycle will be de-prioritized for the remainder of the cycle in times and at locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources.

>Implying
You know you can trowaway the phone and put the sim on the iPhone 6s Plus, right?

>Because only USA has unlimited dataplans
>Android fags are too stupid to buy phones from official pages like apple.

Coming off like a poorfag, eh?

Are you in Australia?

...

>implying
The same people who use "the cloud" are the exact same people who aren't going to ever own their phones, instead trading it in for a better one after two years. As such, there's no guarantee that that sim will be able to be used on that carrier's phone.

>>Because only USA has unlimited dataplans
You said it, not me.

>>Android fags are too stupid to buy phones from official pages like apple.
I don't think Apple sells Android phones.

>Buying stock shit.
My iPhone 6s Plus 128gb costs more than that.
It was about 1500 USD, the same price that any other limited edition iPhone.
Must be hard to be poor pajeet.

see

>he thinks 1500usd is a lot of money
>he thinks buying an iPhone makes him rich

Niggers just keep getting dumber and dumber.

>Being this poor
I bet you hate people with nice cars and houses too.

>Why people have more money than me????

>Using memefrog.
Nice way too recognize an uneducated poorfag.

Ayy yo senpai that iPhone looks dank af, where can a fellow Nigger buy one???

Don't you hold out on me senpai

>Implying I can only afford an iPhone.
Stop projecting Raaj, not my fault that you have to save money for 6 months to get Chinkshit.

The oneplus 3 is gonna suck for vr, it has a 1080p screen

give it back tyrone

>iPhone
>not chinkshit
>being this deluded

Nice meme Pajeet. Take 5 rupees so you can eat something today.

Reminded me of this, heh

Are you mad about your family working in those factories Pajeet?

>spend $1700 on phone wth custom back
>have to put it in a case where you cant see the back to protect it from breaking

Nice meme Tyrone. Take 5 food stamps so you can eat something today.

Anyone with an S7 SM-930 using it on Verizon in the US

>pajeet
>chink
And this is why I'll never buy an iPhone. I hope to never end up this retarded.

Ah, so good to see you here sanjar, how is the family? Good to see we in same business now, hehehe.

Give your sister my regards, dear sanjar.

>He buys a case.
>He is afraid of dropping his phone.
>He is too stupid to hold it.

Thanks, buy I can buy your family without a lot of effort.

>Denying the fact that you are a Pajeet
Okay, I will call you Wei Zhang.

realistically are these phonoes going to crap out in a year. looking at xiamo rednote 3

Sanjar, we must sell our product, not racism.
You agree bringing shame to our people Sanjar, I will have to have talk with your dearest mother about this.

Please, dont reply to me poorfag. Take your memes to reddit or facebook.

>android updates
>important

You couldn't afford it outright, Tyrone. You'd have to put my family on layaway with a 35% APR, and then you'd pay over the course of their lifetime and then some.

Seems pretty ironic too, with niggers owning people.

>Thanks, buy I can buy your family without a lot of effort.
>buy I can buy
Proved me right.

Way to go poorfag. But im not a nigger like you.

>Projecting this hard.

Way to go Pajeet. But im not an Indian like you.

>Projecting this hard.

Hush Sanjar, we will speak of this tonight at the dinner. But will you still be coming?

Is your sister still looking for a husband my dearest friend?

>(You)
