Looking for help with this.

>STOP DISLIKING WHAT I LIKE REEEEEEEE

You sound like a real prick m8

...

ayoo hol up lads I'm here again
I was here yesterday asking for a phone and got recommended LG G3, I did some research and almost bought it, but then I noticed one thing
in my shithole of a country there is only the 16GB version (link related) available
I don't really care about the storage since I have a 32GB SD card which I will never fill up anyway, but it also has only 2GB RAM instead of 3GB
do you think 2GB is enough? will it play quadHD porn smoothly? will it last some 2 years?

3GB RAM version is only a few dollars more though.

not around here tbhfam
here it's exactly 163.03 USD more expensive

ZTE is the only trusted chink brand, it's okay. I own a zte warp elite from them and it hasn't given me any problems since I bought it. AMA if you'd like.

>OnePlus 3 after the update: terrible battery drain
>the end result is that you have to charge the phone up to three times a day
TOPKEK. I wonder how OneShit shills will excuse this. Battery life never was good on the OP3, but now it drains 1% every 4 minutes while idle.

>t. Ching-Chong Ping-Pong

it's not even about quality
I don't want to fuel China's economy
I want those fucking commie gooks to fucking starve

>I don't want to fuel China's economy
You already are. Look at anything plastic in your house, bet you $5 it will have a "made in china" sticker.

>I want those fucking commie gooks to fucking starve
They're already starving and they don't like their country either, why do you think the ones that come here work so fucking hard to get an education?

repostan

What would be the best super slim case for a galaxy s6? I'm partial to not using a case and just getting a dbrand skin, but if I can find a case that doesn't add much thickness to the phone I'll just get that.

Is the Nexus 5x good?
I'm looking for something cheap with a good screen and a gyroscope and it's hard to find.
I can have it for 89€

>unironically buying used phones

It's a horrible phone, who the hell recommended it to you?

Moto:

>You already are.
ye I know I'm retarded, but really I prefer to buy non-chinese stuff
>They're already starving
I want them to starve more and die from joblessnes n shiet

anyway the one you posted isn't available here
back to my original question, is 2GB RAM enough?

>It's a horrible phone

looking for a cheap replacement phone with a good camera

any other good recommendations??

actually it's with my provider so the phone will be new.

>There are better choices.
do tell

What's your budget

most i'm willing to spend is $150 but I can be nudged to a lil more i guess

>What's your budget
$280 max
he asked me ya faggot

>disable the ads
Is this easy? Can those phones be rooted/flashed?

woop, sorry fag

it's cool f a m
just make sure it doesn't happen again

>$280 max
RN3P.
>inb4 I don't want a chink
Don't chink yourself with a shittier phone my man.

Yes:
1. Boot device into bootloader / fastboot mode by powering down then holding volume down and power until it boots
2. Open RSDlite 6.2.4 and select the remove-amazon-bloat.xml
3. press START and wait for device to reboot thats it once rebooted your amazon apps and lock screen ads are gone.

Anybody know what could be causing these issues?
Pic slightly related.

>RN3P
nah I don't want chink, besides "Xiaomi" somehow sounds precisely how the Chinese government would name their secret service's spying equipment

but back to my original question, do you think 2GB RAM is enough?

>buy moto x pure
Return it.

Yeah if your'e not gaymin or running some heavy shit it should be enough for casual use.
But the battery on the G3 seriously sucks and SD801 is starting to show it's age.

Explain?

Well clearly it's shit or a defective unit? just RMA it.

>Yeah if your'e not gaymin or running some heavy shit it should be enough for casual use.
thanks,I don't play games on phone and I get triggered by open apps in background so yeah if you're right I guess I'll be ok
>But the battery on the G3 seriously sucks and SD801 is starting to show it's age.
well such is the price for buying cheaper non-chinese phone I guess, but I'm sure I can deal with the battery and I honestly have no idea what a processor does anyway so whatever t b h

do you think it will play the quadHD (((videos))) smoothly tho?

$650 for new htc 10 or $300 for used LG v10, for music quality?

overall htc 10 seems like the better phone but maybe not $300 better. Also I want the phone to last as long as possible, which one will degrade sooner?

WHY WONT MY TITANIUM BACKUP WORK!?!?!

IVE ALREADY UNINSTALLED IT AND THE PRO KEY, THEN DELETED EVERYTHING IN DATA/APP/COM.KERMIDAS.TITANIUMBACKUP--1

WHAT THE FUCK DO I NEED TO DO TO BACKUP MY GOD DAMN APPS SO I CAN FINALLY UPDATE MY NEXUS 5 TO THE LATEST VERSION OF CATACLYSM!?!

REEEEEEEEE

Yeah it should handle OK.

You will get tired of the shitty battery though someday so when that happens:

Appreciated.

Greetings.

I know it's not a smartphone, but I fucked up my current one, so I have to use something. Well, I would like to know if there is a way to get a free SIM unlock code for and old-ass LG GU230 phone.
Thanking you in advance for your time and patience.

>$59.99
>tfw poorfag
looks neat af tho

I'll probably just get myself a powerbank

How durable are Xiaomi phones? Will they last over a year?

forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f453/lg-gu230-successfully-unlock-1192929/

I really don't understand you autists' obsession with these. What's wrong with 64GB storage and an otg USB drive? Yeah msd would be a nice feature but it's by no means a deal breaker for a normal human being

The first one isn't free.
And I don't really know what to do with the second link. I know how to access the hidden menu, I just don't have an unlock code.

I could also say the same for autists' obsession over non-msd phones. Majority of phones now has expandable memory so it's safe to say that it's the normal thing now.

Do none of you SD shills have laptops or something? I mean, this is obvious bait, but what could you possibly be storing on a PHONE for so long that is going to eat up native 64 gbs?

After having android for the last 2 years I've decided to get an iPhone. The only question is do ingest the 6s or wait for the 7.

All day creepshots.

freeunlocks.com/unlock-LG-GU230

youtube.com/watch?v=f2g1IcIL3Ds

Buy the 6s now and then sell it later for 7.

That's the Apple way.

It's really worth it tho, wait for sale, have one for my g4.

I'm not the autist though, I only wanted to post the bottom half but this is the only pic I could find.

I tried that shit. It says it's "free" if I pay 10 bucks on another site. I tried google, I couldn't find anything, that's why I came here.

Tbh bro. I've had both. Both do some things better than the other.

It's good but overpriced and no mSD slot, also the new Nexus phones should launch in September
Though at 89 yuros it's fine

>mx6 announced
>no SD slot
>no removable battery

Telus or Bell?

Which one is best? I haven't had an Android phone before. Looking for a good, large display and responsiveness.

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Xperia Z5 is not that good, and LG is just shit.

Not looking to go above 400 bongs desu

Time to buy a new phone. seriously get that $50 amazon phone, anything is better than this ancient dumbphone.

The Z5 for better battery life and LG G5 for better screen and more RAM. Both are pretty good phones and have their own problems.

Looking to replace my 3 year old handset. Usually use it for basic browsing and games. Which phones have the best battery life these days? Currently considering s7 edge or g5, definitely open to other options.

HTC 10, why chose something else?

g5 has as tiny battery, go for the edge.

How come nobody is talking about the Axon 7? Give me one reason I shouldn't preorder it right now

This is just an assumption, but I'd guess you already have a fine, functioning phone as we speak

Is that Nick Land?

What is the best phone?
If I have to give all of my shekels to some fucking Canadian service provider for a two year contract I might as well make them give me the best hardware.
(You get free phones from contracts, right?)

Not enough reviews so still no general consensus on how shit or 1337 it is yet.

No, they aren't free. The s7 edge is one of the best phones you can get. YOu have to pay 500 dollars to Telus for it, or 400 for Bell. That is the contract price. Telus wil lsell you it for 200 if you pay even more per month. If you trade in your old phone it is 200 dollars off.

FUCK what should I do

You can pick a g4 plus for 50 dollars.

Or grit your teeth and pay the premium tax.

>g4 plus for $50

I've become so confused Sup Forums, half of you shill for chinkmeme the other half shill for something else...

UK for ~£170, opinions on R3NP, Moto G4, Nexus 5X or any other???

If I get R3NP I have to leave O2 due to shit 4G...

Sure. I don't know how good Fido's coverage is though.

Haven't felt the need to do that ever since I bought my Oneplus One in 2014, how long does it take?

What's the best browser to use these days? I'm still using jetpack and I feel it's gone kinda meh over the last year.

>O2 2G: 900MHz & 1800MHz | 3G 900MHz & 100MHz | 4G: 800MHz

Firefox, native addon support

I've no idea either, I'm completely clueless.
Can any Canadabros tell me which provider I should get a contract with?

Never owned a smart phone, what's a relatively cheap one that can take an ungodly beating? Don't really need much in the way of applications or accessories, just needs to be durable.

Also the less botnet the better

Get the Moto then.

Turns out near London O2 is starting 1800MHz so RN3P may work for me

Looking to get a phone soon, I can't deal with my first gen Moto g anymore. Looking at 3
>nexus 5
Old as fuck
Shit camera
Shit battery

Cheap as fuck
>nexus 5x

Not nearly as cheap
Performance issues
>redmi note 3 pro
Great performance
Muh 3gb ram
Good camera?
Good battery?

I think there's a development community?
Chink shit
Around same price as n5x
So red pill me here. I loved my original nexus 5, and for the price now they're hard to ignore. Is the better battery and camera worth it on the new n5x?what about compared to the redmi? How bad is the performance issues on the n5x?

What sort of warranty does the RN3P have? Does it matter where I buy it?

You both should wait for the RN4 (end of this month) and next Nexii (October).

You're breaking my balls with this waitfagging

>RN4
Doesn't that have a MediaShit CPU?

Usually with shops on Ali you get 1 year warranty, but if it breaks you pay for shipping to China. always better to buy in a local shop if youv'e got one in your area.

Yes but I assume the RN4P will come out soon as well and it will probably have SD652 or something of that sort.
