what's the sony one

USA
AT&T (GSM)
Android, microSD
Sub $250
5.5" max, 5" preferred

>Make the sexiest phones with near stock Android
>Fuck up everything else

When will Sony get it right?

Moto G (2015), or if you want something better wait for the Moto G4/G4 Plus in the next month or so.

>stumble onto article about Microsoft enabling fingerprint sensors in W10 mobile

What's the point when nobody makes your phones anymore?

Been waiting on US release date/price for that. Think it'll come in under $250 and be worth the wait? Thanks.

Part duty to the shareholders to keep operating delusionally, part executive team buying time before they jump ship. You're right about Windows Phone being toast though.

>Moto G (2015)
Why would anyone waste more than 150$ on a phone with SD410?

>Moto G4/G4 Plus
Why would anyone waste more than 250$ on a phone with SD617?

If under $250, only if the other specs are good, the SoC is not.
If they sell it for >=250$, fuck no.

Second this, what's the Sony phone and is it any good?

5x

Would installing a custom ROM on my xperia M4 aqua make it run a bit faster?

Ive noticed slowdowns since I got it a year ago and figured it would be cause of android becoming more powerhungry.

>remove 10 hours of battery life so phone can be 1mm thinner
>2016

Hello! i have a question. Im windows phone user, and you know, ram doesn''t matter OS is stable and fluid. no matter what.
But WP is dead, im going to buy "Lagdroid" phone but, here's my question: 2gb ram is ok for now? or just will be able to run few aps in background. Can someone post screenshot of current ram usage of your phone? Thanks and cheers!

Try wiping the cache first.

Moto G is garbage now. You can get much better phones for the same price or cheaper and they're so numerous now that I'm not even going to waste my time googling their names.

Think it's the Z5 or Z5 Compact. Hard to tell as they're identical just different size.

Because i have zero experience with importing devices so i'm not going to make a call on something like that.

>remove 10 hours of battery life so phone can be 1mm thinner (except for camera bump)

ftfy

Got it boss

Saying "just" for running a few apps in the background gives me the impression that you expect an unreasonable amount from any phone. I say this as a WP user right now, too. That's all our phones can do as well. They're not Core i7 PCs.

>Ireland
>Network doesnt matter
>Around like 300€ budget

Thinking of an lg g4, but am curious if all these booting problems have been fixed? Or is there any other problems I havent heard about?

>5x
>SD

If the Nexus 5x had an SD slot I would over the god damn moon but Google seems to hate it

He was semi-trolling me the last time I posted this. It's just a gag, though also worrisome that he might spend his entire day in /spg/.

...

Thank you kindly, user

>over $400

Fuck

Best compact android phone running stock?

I question if the G4 will even be worth it as a back up device. Even if the price is around $250 you can easily get a Moto X Pure for $100 more from the same company, and while they're not the best phones they'll probably be better.

i know lol, but i wish to know if 2gb is enough, and want to compare. what does i7 have to ram? :|

Close to stock: z3c

OTG flash

I just have no motivation to spend even a penny more than that. Whatever is better about the X will be wasted on me. I haven't even turned on my phone's screen in the last 18 hours.

When they stop selling at a 300% markup
Putting in my required specs on gsmarena gives me Sony phones and a load of chink shit
Hope they make something decent this year.

Don't know how it's in the US, so i can't help you, but as OP posted:

>>LeEco to enter the USA market this fall
>gsmarena.com/leeco_to_enter_the_usa_market_this_fall-news-18887.php

That's not why I care about the SD card. Right now I carry around a cheap tablet because there are times when I must physically remove an SD card from one device and access its contents on another.

TFW Windows phone is only 1.5% above Blackberry's own OS, and only because they're cheap as shit

>1.5% above
Last I heard, WP didn't even have a 1% market share period. Or did you mean relative to bbOS?

Z5 Compact or Z3 Compact.

>Have a Lumia 630
>Windows Phone is dead

Is the OnePlus 3 a giant meme or could it be worth it? At this point anything would be better.

This is what I found, not sure how accurate it is but looks legit

I just worry with them. I remember they were having some major reliability and support issues last generation.

Reposting from old thread since was posted right before the bump limit

I got this one for my dad, came out to just over $400, how'd I do? Coming from a worn and beat up note 2, i think he'll be pleased.
Also, why is so much of the text in macaroni? :^)

Maybe my data were limited to a particular market, then. Very well. You win this one WP.

What would be a good replacement for my One Plus X?
>Buggy
>Shitty battery
>No updates

your phone is a terrorist [spoiler]cell[/spoiler]

Nexus 6p

Clean up your URLs, that was disgusting. I don't want your tracking shit.

Anyway that isn't a bad idea, actually.

It seems like a good deal on paper, but I hear they're pretty crappy with warranty and support as a whole. Also they take forever to get updates (apparently the 1 and 2 ran Cyanogen before they got into a dispute, now they run what looks to be a forked version of Marshmallow called OxygenOS), and I doubt that will change anytime soon.

I was super interested in the OnePlus 1 but due to their shitty invite system i never got a chance.

Bootloop hardware issue. better avoid it. you can get Mi5 for that much.

Does anyone know if the Axon 7 will work on Verizon (CDMA) All I can find is the bands.

2GB is enough for most casual users. unless your'e gaymin or running something heavy it will run smoothly.

I own a Nexus 6P currently, but I want a phone with micro SD and better battery life. Would it be worth waiting for the Note 6?

One Plus already released the Kernel. Full CM support was up and running by the time the phones got into people's hands. (I believe it's running CM 13)

>ZTE says it will also work with CDMA carriers such as Sprint and Verizon once it receives technical approval from them.

theverge.com/2016/5/26/11765102/zte-axon-7-specs-price-launch

I've been wondering the same thing.
1080p Amoleds are very few and far between.
The Zuk Z2 pro is one, S7. Other than that, they don't do anything in that size factor.
You can also use GSM arena phone finder

Does unlocking the bootloader on the Redmeme Note 3 actually mess with find my phone and the fingerprint reader like Xiaomi says it does? Or have they just put that in to cover their asses if you break something?

Thanks baby.
Looking forward to the full reviews to come out.
Sucks that it's so fucking huge though

>Does unlocking the bootloader on the Redmeme Note 3 actually mess with find my phone and the fingerprint reader like Xiaomi says it does?

No, just FUD from Xiaomi to let you know if you fuck something up it's your problem and they won't help.

when will the one plus 2 price drop with the 3 coming out? Soon?

Cheers senpai.

Best place to buy xiaomi Redmi note 2 as a Canadian?

>buy xiaomi Redmi note 2
Why you do that when the Note 3 is nearly the same price?

Either way, Aliexpress or gearbest.

Shit is it? And I'm guessing it works with wind mobile too?

Had a goodly fondle of the hueway p9 and p9 plus today.

They feel really good in hand. Real comfy.
Gimmicky monochrome camera is quite good, but the shallow depth of field special effect (f/0.95 kek to f/16) looks like a horrendous photoshop jobbie. Might impress some selfie whore that's never actually used a camera before.

Like all the phones in store they'd been plugged in all day but they weren't as warm as the s7's. Although the s7 was on a wireless charger; wonder if that makes them hotter?

Software's an issue. Fuck that ui of theirs.
Could be worse, but the fact that it can't be replaced pisses me right off.

The hardware is great, the software lets it down. If those neckbear pahjeeto's at cyanogen could somehow get a rom on the p9 then I would be happy.

As it stands I don't really trust how well huehue components will work.

The lite would be a nice alternative for those on a real budget, but the standard p9's rather good (if you can stomach the emotion ui).

>And I'm guessing it works with wind mobile too?

QUICK.
$125 CAD for a Nexus 5 32gb, replaced battery in the last year

All I do is social media and play music

Got my mom a Redmi Note 3 Pro
Got myself a One Plus 3

Did I do wrong?

Fuck it doesn't

You can always take the one you prefer.

No. Mi4c or Vernee Thor.

Even a brand new model?

Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro

>drops mic

It's fixed on models from last December to current month, but you can never know when it was actually made. LG will supposedly fix it if it does happen but who knows.

OnePlus X

just tough it out till the next Nexus

I'm okay with the suggestion too, but if the G4 is on the horizon (but outside the budget) I'll let it drop and see if it impacts the 2015 prices. Under $150 would be pretty cool.

>implying

Apple don't aim for high market share, they're after high profit share where they still dominate

>the software lets it down
The reason i haven't bought the P9 Lite, yet.
Huawei won't change it and since it's their Kirin SoC we can't expect a replacement.

they already dropped the price before release

It took about a year to get a functional ROM on the P8, don't hold your breath

Yeah I'm not. Afraid it's s7 for me since i can't wait to see how the next nexus will be.

Any battery tank with decent specs on sight except the k6k premium?

So /spg/ the only problem with my N5 is battery life and the newer nexus devices don't have a removable battery either. Therefore I was thinking it might be best to just clone my sim card and then just buy a second N5 and always keep one on the charger.

Has anyone else done something similar? Instead of a removable battery you just have a 'removable' phone instead?

Do you think i risk brain cancer and balls cancer because too SAR too high (DAS for eurofags like me) DAS is 1,49 watts/kg for brain radiation absorbtion and 0.8 for the rest of the body aka my precious ball for fap on nice porn everynight

Is it risky to use or I takes my Nexus One 5X or more 3

I don't want to die anons life is too beautiful and technology too

That SAR horrific values are for the Nexus 6p i'm sorry

Allview P8

RN3P is like my dream phone, except for the bands.
Woe is me.

Just do the 3k mah battery mod.

Redmeme is truly amazing.

no dremel

Why doesn't Redmeme just support American bands?

If they did they would literally have the best phone in the world and could charge $350 for it here in the states

Are you a girl? That's literally the only reason you'd be on Sup Forums and not own one.

This is not a x20.

Ask phonearena. Test method is the same for both (script that emulates standard every day usage, screen set to 200 nits).
