which is better, Samsung Galaxy express 3 or Asus Zenphone 2
Connor Richardson
First for S7!
Thomas Wilson
Need new phone
Specs by priority: 5-5.2" LTE band 20 (800) for muh european carriers 2-3GB RAM Good battery life Price under 250€, used is ok, 2014 phones are ok MicroSD Full HD screen
What I don't want: Sony Z series: Tiniest crack in digitizer means unusable phone, replacing screens on these is ass
Lucas Lopez
Asus Zenphone 2 by far.
Ethan Gomez
Who's getting the Z2.
Is it a shit made by Lenovo, or actually worth getting?
Landon Martinez
I'd go the Asus.
Kevin Gray
Oneplux X or Redmi 3.
Connor Ramirez
I want to get get chinked, Xiaomi redmi 2 pro is a good start?
Connor Ortiz
>Oneplux X user in other thread said shitty battery life >Redmi 3 no LTE in Europe on all Xiaomi phones
Justin Brooks
Is there a way (app/root or otherwise) of changing the recent app menu of a Samsung to make it more like the simple list of stock android?
I really don't like shuffling card deck function they have but it looks like I'll be getting an S7 to replace my current nexus.
Ian Cook
No, it's too old by now. Redmi 3 / 3 Pro are quite cheap.
I'm pretty sure the redmi is faster. The OPX has a processor from like 2-3 years ago.
Landon Adams
Vernee Thor? good cheap chink from /csg/. why not 5.5" though?
Elijah Garcia
Not available in my 3rd world shithole.
Anthony Lopez
Eh it uses the same card stack recent as stock. Only difference is the clear all button at the bottom.
Jason Cox
Order from Aliexpress? delivery takes time but it's usually free.
David Garcia
>The OPX has a processor from like 2-3 years ago. OPX has the 801, same as Z2, totally enough for me >why not 5.5" though? My current Sony Z2 with its 5.2" already feels a bit too big, but I will take a look at the actual measurements
Jacob Moore
Well at that price you can get G3, S5, or chinkshit.
Bentley Nelson
>Eh it uses the same card stack recent as stock Ah, I haven't updated my nexus in a while; still have the simple and quick functioning list.
A mistake to change that in marshmellow IMO.
Christopher Anderson
Is the redmi note 3 pro really that good? Why is MIUI listed as a pro? I just want something that will give me great battery life, good updates, expandable storage, and a finger print reader. After years of being a Samshill, I've come to detest anything that isn't near-stock android.
Should I just wait for the moto G4 plus for actual support, reliable updates, stock, and cases?
Matthew Howard
Nexus 5x 16gb for £175 - good deal, anons?
Leo Hughes
It has very good specs for the money. SD650, 3GB RAM, 4100 mAh battery, SD slot, fingerprint reader etc.
If you hated touchwizz though you'll hate MiUi, it's an iOS clone that doesn't resemble stock android in any way. but you can flash AOSP or CM13 if your'e into that.
Josiah Morris
You won't get any better for that price. Just make sure you can be okay with only 10gb of free space.
Robert Roberts
Do the roms have any issues? I know people will often times experience weird quirks or lack of functionality from their fingerprint readers when using cyanogen and whatnot.
Austin Watson
I'm reading anandtech's review for the Sony X right now, and the redmi note 3 pro is consistently in the middle of the pack for every benchmark test, even though it costs like 180-220 USD, which is insane.
The only downsides are bad camera and it doesnt have band support for everything under the sun
David Wright
I struggle mightily with 16gbs and no SD card on my moto x. But if that doesn't bother you, that's an amazing deal.
Daniel Smith
I know that happens with Samsung units, because of their proprietary frameworks that govern their hardware. Lurk some XDA ROM forums and see if people have issues with specific ROMs first.
So i wanna spend ~500 pounds for a new phone. I never had a phone except old nokia,now that amazon uk delivers s7 to my country should i spend an extra 50 pounds for edge? Also ,what color would you say looks best? im thinking silver>gold>black.
Blake Bell
Same here, just slightly different: 4.8-5.2" Price
Asher Fisher
>edge
Do you ever find yourself seeing the side of the screen and not the screen itself? If not then it's just a more fragile product.
Christian Rivera
Fell for the RedMeme Pro
Becareful when you get it.
>> Impatient so I 'unofficially unlock' bootloader >> Flash TWRP - works >> Flash Customer ROM - works >> "Oh hey user use this ROM" >> Device bricks >> Won't boot to EDL >> Start researching on wtf to do >> Exploring all the depths of the MIUI/XIAOMI forums >> Something about 'testpoint' unbrick method >> End up spending 6 hours taking this fucking this apart and finally nigger rigging it with a twist tie from bunny bread. >> Keep missing trying to 'touch' these two microscopic dots together to bypass some bootloader locked bullshit and get in EDL mode. >> MFW it works and windows finds the proper driver >> Flash Global ROM, doesn't work.

Seriously what the actual fuck. I should have stopped at about hour 2 and 16 forum pages in. Was thinking about writing up a tutorial for XDA but who the fuck is going to read it. Just becareful user, and be patient for that Unlock before you do anything stupid.
Zachary Baker
One thing I found out while browsing and reading recommendations: Don't go just by screen diameter, check the actual dimensions of the phone (if you have a reference phone). Sony Z2 (5.2") and LG G3 (5.5") are actually only 1mm on each side apart..
Isaac Kelly
bought an S7 edge on ebay and it'll get here in 3 days. I feel like I shouldve bought the regular one at a t-mobile store bc of warranty. Can I still get warranty on ebay phones? I got the international version of the s7 edge.
Mason Sanchez
Beautiful, thanks anons.
Joseph Torres
You should still get a 1 year warranty with Samsung international. How easy it'd be to claim I can't say.
Ryan Harris
>chinkshit How can you even fall for this. It looks cheap and flimsy, even the logo is ugly; the firmware is ugly as well as malware-ridden, the video samples from its camera on youtube are godawful. Buying a phone just because the SoC is more or less decent is stupid.
Aiden Cox
HTC10 or S7?
Liam Cook
do you perefer camera, audio or are you clumsy?
>Clumsy and audio HTC10 >Camera and performance S7
Grayson Sullivan
A lot of stuff I'm seeing on the HTC 10 looks bad (compared to the S7) So it comes down to preference. You can't unlock the S7 in the US, where the 10 has V4A out. But if you want the best hardware then the S7. Software, the 10.
Hudson Perez
thoughts on the blackberry priv?
Eli Barnes
Will zenfone 3 ultra be worth it? I essentially need a tablet, but no one makes good tablet anymore.
Anthony Kelly
Is this a becoming a new copypasta?
Julian Martinez
I'm also interested. Sick of software keyboards and can't face the OS of the Blackberry Passport.
Jacob Cooper
You won't slide It up anymore after two months
Jeremiah Adams
Screen to body ratio. The X is 69%, the G3, 75%
It's because the huge bezels on the X.
Andrew Morris
>only used dumbphones >want to experience a smartphone
best one for
Kayden Ramirez
Mi5 or Mi4c.
Isaac Jenkins
>shitty pasta >being a retard who couldn't wait to get unlock code Fuck off, retard.
Gavin Russell
Sure, but screen diameter usually gives you a good idea about the size, whether it should be small or big. I don't have a special preferrence about size in mm, but let's say 4.8-5.2 with a screen to body ratio of >=70%. Know what i mean?
Adrian Collins
Can I get some sample pics taken with the redmeme? I'm struggling to see any downsides besides having to fuck around with the ROMs and shit
Landon Barnes
If its the Exynos S7 audio is comparable, unless you meant through speakers
Noah Robinson
You don't need sample pics. the camera is shit, even for chink standards.
Cameron Adams
To add on to phonearena.com/phones/size Really good site for comparing phone sizes, can calibrate it to be 1:1 scaling too
Liam Anderson
Will the Oneplus 3 have an AMOLED screen? I've seen some sources that says it will and some say it won't. Currently debating between that or the Zuk Z2 when they get released.
Christian Fisher
Britfag looking for a new phone What's the best on the market currently? Anything releasing soon that I may as well wait for?
Many looking for nice aesthetics and best camera. Lack of bloat would be nice too
Charles Perez
S7E.
Nathan Williams
>all these brand new LG G5's on swappa for $450 or less >want to buy but know like any LG phone it'll be in the $300 range in no time
Carter Jackson
I totally know, I'm searching for something similar but everything is lacking SOMETHING
Veneer Thor: no notification LED (lol) Meizu, Huwawei: No custom ROMs (thanks Mediatek) Xiaomi: no yurop LTE
I might ditch my LTE requirement and get a Xiaomi, sell that when I find something else. Fed up with my broken Z2
Dylan Adams
Ulefone Power.
Julian Brooks
S7/ Edge
Andrew Barnes
So does Z3 compact have band 12 or is it possible to enable it?
Lucas Martinez
Anyone own the Zuk Z2 pro?
Adam Sullivan
the Honor 5x could be something for you, but it's 5'5" Honor 7 is also quite nice and 5'2", but it costs around 300€ and it'd be a better advice to wait on the upcoming Honor 8(also apparently 5'2")
Colton Brooks
LG will be releasing a new device in a few months and the G5 will be cheaper. Just wait
Ethan Sullivan
What's the Sony Xperia X and Huawei P9 like?
Daniel Bell
>Sony Xperia X Shit.
>Huawei P9 OK.
Joshua Bennett
So is >S7 is the bestest!
a true meme or just a meme-meme parroted by everyone and their gay mothers?
Thomas Perez
>everything is lacking SOMETHING Know that feel. RN3P looks fantastic, but 5.5", LTE is in question and you'll have to pay 20€ for shipping and 19% on top of it, which makes it less of a bang for buck option.
>Vernee Thor MediaTek, mediocore cam, not full HD and i'm willing to pay more.
>Meizu Idk, i think meizu is just Xiaomi but worse.
>Huawei Don't really care about ROMs that much. Yes it's nice, but not a must have. The P9 Lite looks great, but imo it's to expensive for what it offers if you compare it to other chink phones
I'd really like the OPX, simply change the cpu to SD650, give it a bigger battery like 3500mAh and sell it for 300€. Perfect phone.
Gabriel Fisher
I want the latest android and usb 3 type-c what's the cheapest?
Jason Wright
It's true, at least for the international version. Fastest SoC available with stellar battery life, water proof, micro sd support and all the other good stuff.
Sebastian Bailey
Both look good, but will the Mi4c get Adroid 6.x? And will the Mi5 give my headphones enough power? I read that the output is only 0.18V or so, which is very low.
Put your filters in here and search for a good chink.
Isaiah Sullivan
There isn't much memes here. You can easily look that up m8.
Aaron Gray
autism
David Wood
>but will the Mi4c get Adroid 6.x? Pretty sure it will, MiUi 8 is based on Android 6 and it should come out soon.
The Xiaomi Mi 5 delivered great audio output when hooked up to an active external amplifier. The flagship was not only able to match the best for clarity, it also delivered splendidly high volume for arguably the best performance among the 2016 flagships so far.
>And will the Mi5 give my headphones enough power? I read that the output is only 0.18V or so, which is very low. From gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-review-1411p6.php : >Stereo crosstalk was the only reading to be affected when headphones came into play and the increase was rather well contained. The rest of the readings remained unchanged and so did loudness for a truly impressive showing.
Jacob Cook
s7 vs s7 edge worth ~40-55 pounds extra for the edge option?
Ryan Brooks
edge has good battery life but the edge screen is pretty cancerous to hold and has no purpose other than looking cool
Levi Brooks
>when hooked up to an active external amplifier Which is practically worthless. I won't carry a portable amp with me.
Andrew Sullivan
Not to mention will cost exponentially more than the standard one to repair/replace if it breaks. S7's battery isn't bad. The E has a larger capacity but its screen is larger.
Cooper Perez
Get HTC 10 if your'e so concerned with audio quality.
Lucas Wilson
Sup Sup Forums Should i get the Samsung S7 or the Sony Z5 premium? I've narrowed my choices down to this two and I'm leaning towards the S7 due to dat display
Matthew Perez
S7 by far.
Jordan Fisher
S7 battery is excellent.
Jaxson Hernandez
non removable tho
have fun in a year and a half when the battery starts shitting itself
Nathaniel Walker
My Moto E comes with this noise cancelling feature, but nowhere to activate it. Anyone got any idea about it?
John King
Well then, S7 it is. thanks for replying mate.
Carter Jackson
I won't buy a 700€ flagship as a work / communication device and media player / camera. Max. 300€ is a reasonable price for standard usage with some requirements like mine.
Jeremiah Jenkins
Oneplus 2.
Jaxon Gomez
shills everywhere
Jordan Kelly
the battery difference is kinda minimal,i mean i aint going to spend 50 pounds for 8 hours instead of 7. The thing im interested is the screen.
Andrew Nelson
>OP2 >5.5" >SD810 >costs more than 300 Why on earth?
Unrelated but it's the 7th time today recaptcha wants me to select all pics with "gras". Does recaptcha want to tell me something?
Camden Watson
You're better off with a Chinese device or a moto g than a ON2. Never heard a positive thing about it
Josiah Nguyen
It costs more to repair, protectors don't fit it,and it's functionally rather useless. The only reason anyone would need to have is for the larger screen, in which case they should just get a note
Landon Edwards
how much should i be looking to spend on a new lg g3?
Jackson Thompson
You shouldn't.
Nathaniel Hill
why not?
Luis Smith
Because it's a 2 year old device with a $180 price tag. ain't worth it.
