Simple Question:
OP3 Yes or No?

Yes unless you're autistic about needing to have a 10000 mAH battery

What's the best phone for less than 100 bucks? I only need it to be able to make phone calls and be able to run Spotify and Runkeeper at the same time. Still the Moto E?

Is it really better? The 6p seems to have better specks and costs exactly the same as the 5X right now (at least in my country).
I don't have to go for a Nexus, though. I just want a good camera this time around.

Yes, if you want to feel comfy and safe with a good fucking phone. You could always buy a random brick-sized ugly phone with a weird name that has better numbers on paper, but deep inside, youd hate it.

I ordered my op3 today since my nexus 5 signed the fucked out.


Aluminium in the picture.

Android M came to my money model S5 (S5 Neo) and it's glorious. Stock ROM is still buttery smooth with no lag after 10 days without a reboot and heavy usage and battery life is awesome, over 6 hours screen on time with maximum auto brightness.

>Monkey* model S5

Is there a step by step on how to buy the Xiami Redmi Note 3? thanks

Reposting it here, just in case.

>"Add to cart

>Fill in shipping details and payment method
>Complete purchase

Yes. Make sure to clean afterwards. Don't forget to share pics

What the fuck should I upgrade my nexus 5 to? under 400$ range, something that actually has a battery and a good camera, I browse a shitload of internet and listen to music, that's pretty much it.

Oneplus paid shills are here already?
Great.

Please leave Samshill

Maybe

...

who else /waitingfornexus/ here?

I fell for the Nexus meme. Is this a Sup Forums approved phone?

Buy the pro.

i have an issue with 820 snapdragon S7 when it comes to video playback there is a very noticeable stutter. like i can have my iphone 5 side by side with my s7 and the iphone has no stutter what so ever and smooth playable while the s7 is choppy

What is the real life verdict on the s7 edge. About to get rid of my Nexus 5 and the 6p doesn't really excited me, choosing between 6s plus and s7 edge. Need to buy soon my n5 is down to barely over and hour SOT.

Meant to say real life verdict on battery life, that's what I am particularly interested in from my new phone.

It is not, sorry m8.

Will be some long months..
Since the OP3 is a mild letdown, the only hope remaining are the 2016 nexus devices.

US or international version?
On my exynos S7 flat I regularly get 10-11 hours SoT

Oh no, looks like I have to charge my phone overnight, it's not like the OP3 have the fastest quick charging or anything

I'm about to buy the 5x until the new devices are released. But maybe I can wait 4 more months (if my smartphone lives that long)

US sadly.

Oh well. You should still easily get 8-9 hours depending on usage. Obviously loading up with socialshit apps is never a good idea.

>he wants a phone with battery life between nexus 5 and OPX

Who /waitingforaxon7/ here?

Give me one (1) good reason for why I should give a shit as long as the phone lasts through the day and it charges from 0 to 100 in 45 minutes?

Every time a oneplus device releases there are constantly posts shilling them, giving out "invites" and samefagging asking if they should buy then recommending it to themselves. Just try to ignore them.

It's almost like recently released phones are more likely to be discussed here!

>0 to 100 in 45 minutes
Stop lying. No it doesn't.

LG V10 or Galaxy S7?

I still have a droid DNA which is fine, but showing age. Either one is a huge upgrade.

THANKS FOR NOT BEING RETARDED, SAMSUNG

androidauthority.com/standard-deviation-samsungs-website-seemingly-suggests-normal-note-7-699198/

tbf sony's are like 3x the price they should be, whereas OP aren't too bad pricewise

becareful of soap in the clean up; soap will allow water to penetrate the speaker grill

Is the Z5 any good, I don't see it much here

1. It doesn't charge from 0 to 100 in less than one hour.
2. If you're fine with that battery performance, suit yourself.
3. If you want to use the phones performance even ever so slightly you will have to reload it during midday.

It's an old phone thats why.

Any phone that has a zerolemon battery case.
They're usually 7500-9000MAh on top of the phone's capacity.

this, consider just hot water/some kind of electronic wipe, soap is risky

anyone? i cant be the only one annoyed by this

>mfw Android fags cant afford electricity

Has it got a ton of carrier bloat? Could use package disabler to remove all the unnecessary shit

the price I guess. You get shit for a high price from the new sonys

You get shit for a moderate price from oneplus

Looking to sell my G3 and pick up a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. Good idea?

its from US Cellular

Half a year old isn't old

lmao this fag never leaves his wife's son's basement

Whatever makes you sleep at night raj.

Eat shit

is there any battery life comparison between the S7, S7E and OP3?

It had too many problems.
Sony's shit at marketing their phone line. It's a "will they drop it? Will they keep sinking cash in it for another year?" kinda situation.
Non existent marketing in the US, so fewer english language discussion on the topic.
Processor is junk and leads to overheating.
Camera lens is plastic and scratches too easily, leading to blurred pictures until it's replaced (and then it scratches again).
Shitty, unresponsive camera - why they fuck do they need a 20+++ MP sensor on a fucking tinsy winsy smartphone camera?
Build issues with spontaneously cracking glass etc.
Price not commensurate with the comparable competition (this is once again a problem with the new xperia x's, even more so than before).

Sony's in a bad state with their smartphone division; they just really have no clue. Last year was shit for them, and this year's X doesn't look like it's going to radically improve things unless they dramatically slash prices.

Pity, as I liked sony very minimalist ui.

zero lemon's first battery cases were for appel

Moto Pure sale ends tomorrow, is it worth it?

That can't be, even on the OP website the graphs show a loading time from 0 to 100 for about 70 minutes.
I doubt your benchmark is valid.

Is the Axon 7 a meme? I feel like the build quality is going to be raw ass, considering the expected pricepoint. I'm willing to give out my shekels for it, but will it really be better than the OP3?

>Is the Axon 7 a meme?
all chink phones are a meme
get that through your head
if people had money, they wouldn't even mildly consider them

None of those times are even close to accurate for 0-100 charges.

but is it a good meme

Build quality will be superb, but at the cost of a heavier device.

Only problem is that ZTE doesn't produce enough of it, making it hard to somehow order one for decent price.

Xiaomi Mi4S or Redmi Note 3 Pro?
AKA Snapdragon 808 or Snapdragon 650?

>Redmi Note 3 Pro
Snapdragon 650

>heavier device
that's actually more of a plus for me, hopefully it doesn't get too expensive

The 650 is better than the 808?

youtube.com/watch?v=1oeMPCEHRr4

They seem quite the same.
Oh well, i'm going for the Mi Max, same CPU as the RN3P and I have a boner for big screens.

Or yes unless you need more storage space for music + video.

Is the LG G4 worth 80€ more than the G3? Or is the G3 good enough?

So I flashed my note 2 with CM13, and I'm trying to figure if there's any way to calibrate the pen or calibrate another pen

Just picked up the S7 Edge today. What do I do with it now? Any tweaks, apps or tricks I should do?

Get package disabler pro to remove the bloatware
Install nova launcher
Install adblock fast
Get a dark material theme from galaxy apps store

Tfw gonna pick up the s7 edge by the end of this month. Cant wait lads. Is gear vr a meme?

of course VR is a meme
If I got that bundle I'd sell it online

OP3, R7 Plus, of Mate 8? I'm thinking about those two 6' phones because the battery is 4,000 mah+, PLUS micro SD card so I can transfer muh songs and pictures.

But muh porn in bed

all this without rooting?

Appreciate the tips. Thanks.

Yes indeed.

S7 by far.

The SD650 is better because it's a newer SoC without the constant throttling/overheating issue that plagued the SD808/SD810. speed wise they're almost the same.

Mate 8 or Mi Max.

I love the Mi Max, but its not for the USA, which sucks.

Smartphones are all exactly the fucking same...

Maybe project at a will save us...

USA, AT&T
Will almost certainly need to be a chinkphone, for the better pricing
Better work on LTE bands though
Capacitive/physical buttons
AMOLED
At least 3000mAh, but preferably more
Higher end processor
Can be (easily) flashed
Either expandable storage or 64GB internal, both would be pretty fucking neato
Camera quality doesn't matter, as long as there is one
Fingerprint sensor would be cool
No bigger than 5.5", but if you can find something below 5" I'll fellate you
I can buy used if I can get it at good quality
$450ish, can go higher if I really need to

>Will almost certainly need to be a chinkphone
>Better work on AT&T LTE bands though
Pick one.

OnePlus 3
Zuk Z2 Pro
Le Max X820
Mi 5

My phone's having issues which I can't seem to resolve, so I'm going to do a full reset soon.
What ROMs are good these days, anything interesting and fresh out there? Device in a OnePlus One, if you want that to matter.

I think the OnePlus one has a Color OS ROM. that way you can play with the ex-parent's OS - Oppo

>Zuk Z2 looked perfect
>no support for LTE
I-I guess I can just carry a power bank for the OP3
Might be able to sacrifice the physical buttons for the Axon 7 someone keeps shilling here, but I'd have to check ROM support.

Hey Sup Forums
How do I into unattended remote access on an android phone?

best phone sub 150 dollaroos?

Budget: $160-$170
Carrier: Verizon

Do xiaomi get the most up to date version of android all the time?

I have an lgg4 shall I keep it for one more year? I like it soI dont see the point of upgrading.

What would be the cheapest phone that can compare to a Nexus 5?

don't be a FOOL goy, you must upgrade to the LATEST and GREATEST FLAGSHIP IMMEDIATELY!

If you have a model that won't bootloop and has no issues I'd say you could keep it for another year at the least, microSD slots are becoming rarer especially on phones with good ROM support
