I'm US with T-Mobile looking for a phone in the 200-350$ price range with good storage and great RAM. I wanted to get an LG G4 but still don't know if I should get it and if I did where to get it. Any help?

Damn, those guys work fast. If I were american; I'd totally buy that phone.

Will getting a Redmi 3s over a 3 Pro be a good decision because of the android 6.0 support? I did a bit of research and found people saying that Xiaomi isn't going to update the 3 series, I don't want to buy a phone thats not going to be updated anymore.
Jacob Thomas
Is it possible to change (lower) your screen resolution with a rooted phone?
2k resolution kills the gaming, even with a Snapdragon 820.
Camden Ward
>everbody hyping up the ZTE Axon 7
Ok, but the camera sucks, and cannot even shoot RAW pictures like the OP3.
If you are an audiophil who focus on soundquality, the choice is clear, otherwise I am sure the majority would rather see a better camera.
Can the Axon7 even record 1080p@60fps?
Zachary Anderson
Might want to look into the Nomone resolution changer. I believe you can alter resolution even on an app by app basis meaning those heavy games aren't so heavy anymore.
Caleb Moore
Out of curiosity, how many of you have bought a phone to play Pokemon Go?

Yes, the SoC on the 3s is faster as well. see

Fuck that game.

Comparison between OP3 and Nubia Z11.
People love to shittalk about the OP3, but at the end of the day, it is unbeaten in speed thanks to the constant optimization.

is redmi note 3 pro still the goto budget performance phone? or is the redmi 3s better now? the snapdragon 430 worries me, i dont game but i like to multi task and i want to make sure the phone i get can handle a few things at once, like maps, music, texting app, and snapchat. I go between those apps a lot and on my moto g i can have at max 2 of those open will the 3s be ok for that? i really like the idea of a 5in phone again, i miss my nexus 5 like nobodies business does anyone know if there is a way to unlock and root the redmi 3s yet?
Ryan Torres
Oh come on I was just about to finally pull the trigger on the 3s and then I read that they all come with that ugly ass pattern in the back, why did they have to do that to such a good phone?
Chase Nelson
I think the pattern looks quite nice. At least in that photo. Much better than the disgusting slippery design they went with the mi 5
Kayden Walker
Just posted in old thread but I will post again here.

Xavier Miller
I wanted the grey one, the one in the back in the pic, and its the worst looking one with the pattern imo, only the gold one has a smooth version but I don't want to look like my rich spoiled friend that bought a shiny golden s7 to look at fb all day.
Logan Watson
If you're willing to shell out, you can snag a HTC 10 for $100 off until the end of the month.
Pretty good battery from 5.2" screen, camera almost as good as the S7, SD slot, snap 820 and 4gb ram, and you can get the Verizon version cracked to root it as well.
Nicholas Torres
I can really see only 1 downside to OP3, shooting nighttime pictures.
It really sucks at this category.

No thanks I only play real Pokemon games on my Nintendo 2DS

Where can I get it for $100 off?
Samuel Thompson
Wasn't entirely sure where to post this but I figured I might get help here and it'd be less likely to get deleted. I was wondering if the 2009 160gb iPod classic is actually worth getting. It's $500 new on Amazon which is a little pricey but I'd rather not get one used. Is there an iPod or music player outside of Apple better than this one? I currently have an original 5th gen iPod
Sebastian Cook
Should i get a RN3P or wait for the new Redmi Pro?
Lincoln Lopez
HTC's website I believe. Even after, it's still $600 USD. But it's got everything I'd want in a phone besides OLED.

Nigga it's not even a phone, you can buy a MP3 player for like $50 these days and most have a micro SD slot

no, the classic is amazing, but not $500 amazing
Blake Edwards
What? For half a price you can have a smartphone that does literally everything this iPod, and 99% more. Are you retarded?
Cooper Wilson
Hmm I just feel like there might be something I could get at a better price. Any opinions on LG? I personally love their phones for their cameras, but this G4 Bootloop is just too much of a butt fuck for me to want to get another one. Is the LG V10/LG G5 worth it? Anything else that even compares while also maintaining a good battery life?
Camden Cox

Jaxon Carter
So I have to chose between looking like a faggot or a middle aged woman?
Jordan Baker
Xiammi Red Mi Note 3 Pro. There's no other choice.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon 650). The de-facto recommendation for budget smartphones. Do not skimp and get the regular Mediatek powered Redmi Note 3, which doesn't even have microSD support (a necessity when buying phone with 16GB or 32GB of storage)
Pros:
MIUI Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 is extremely powerful and power efficient. More powerful than the flagship Snapdragon 805, 808 and 810 in many cases. As of now it's the only Snapdragon 650 phone out there, which makes it a no-brainer. Excellent battery size (4000mah), and excellent battery life. Should last you much longer than a Samsung Galaxy S6, S7 etc... Because it's a qualcomm SOC, you can/will get ROMs. This is in contrast to mania Mediatek (Helio X10 etc...) SoCs. Basically improved upon the Redmi Note 2 in every way. If you're not completely broke, spend the extra $70 for the Redmi Note 3 pro, it's completely worth it. Good build quality In a few months, this will probably cost $150, which is the MSRP in China.
Cons:
Battery is not removable like the redmi note 2. You could change it but you would need to disassemble the phone. Then again the battery life is miles ahead of the redmi note 2. You will need to get the 32GB variant if you want 3GB of RAM Just released and in very high demand. This means retailers may inflate the prices and it may be hard to find. Check the prices below to get an idea of what you should be paying, don't overpay. Ask in the thread if you can't find a retailer selling at those prices. LTE support in the US is practically nonexistent. (T-Mobile US has been proven to work using LTE Bands 2 & 4; other carriers are TBD)
Variants:
16GB w/ 2GB RAM Current cheapest price: $185 32GB w/ 3GB RAM Current cheapest price: $220
The only thing it's not ticking for you is a guaranteed Android Nougat update, as this is an unknown quantity at this point in time.
Andrew Butler
You are already a giant faggot by choosing a tech product by the way it looks you fucking gay cockgobbler
Michael Garcia
Besides that, it's a legitimate bang for buck phone.
Eli Thompson
Is this worth it? Want to upgrade from the original LG G Flex
Jacob Russell
Some like the V10, since it's the G4 2.0. The G5 is not really worth it. It's already being discounted since it's failing.
However, I'm not sure about any issues with the V10, and they're supposedly announcing a V10 2.0 version soon.
Liam Lee
You can get a 32GB Nexus 6p from Amazon for that much.
I'd just get the pro.
Yeah. Samsung devices do this by default actually.
I'm thinking about it. I use an iPhone 6s currently but want to play on two phones at once. I can't decide if I want something JUST for the poke (R1) or something that could potentially replace my iPhone if needed (5x or 6p).
I'd get the pro
Don't get a G5 or V10. There's a bunch of other shit out there for the same price.
Mediatek, nah
I'd get the current one, price is great as is.
Note 3 Pro.
Over that? Yep
John Foster
I bought it but I'm upgrading from a Nexus 4. Your G Flex is less of a obvious upgrade, with the SD800 and 3550mAh battery capacity.
My guess is you'd have to wait for the SD820/Exynos 8890 generation to reach this price before getting a really solid upgrade in value.

Austin Martinez

Zachary White
It's just that I can't seem to find it anywhere else for a better price, and I wasn't sure if it's actually worth $500 since I've never owned one. Thanks for clarifying I guess. From what I've read it seems to be the best iPod.
Asher Myers
I'm not choosing it by the way it looks you retard, but the looks matter to me (and everyone else who isn't a neckbeard living in a basement. >I'd just get the pro. It feels bad buying an already non updateable phone, what about stuff like the fingerprint scanner support being native on 6.0 and not working with other software?

Robert Clark
Mi Max is SD650 dumbass.
Carter Price
Can it work with T-Mobile's bands?
Elijah Morgan
>Mediatek, nah
Christopher Rodriguez
The space might be high, but you'd be better off buying a 2-3 year old phone under 5 inches and throwing in a 64/128GB SD card and using it as a mp3 player. You'd save about $350 that way.

Whats the most important things to look at if you're buying a used phone? also is touchwiz still shit? kinda interested in a galaxy s7
Charles Walker
>use a GS7 Edge with dragonfly black external DAC >See Axon 7 Well, guess I'm selling my shit.
Charles Watson
Used phones are a thorny problem.
The ESN that uniquely identifies the phone has to be "clean", which means it can't have been reported stolen, in order to be activated on a cellular network. There are many sites that provide an ESN checker tool which will report the current status of the ESN. However, in the case of phones which have been subsidized by a carrier, the ESN's faulty status is often not updated until months later, well after you've bought it secondhand.
Because the carriers are so delinquent (arguably intentionally so, to limit the growth of the used market and hopefully to redirect it to new phone sales), the process is a gamble.
That's about the best price going on a new SM-930F, which is the international (Exynos 8890) version of the S7. Its GPU performance lags the SD820 variant but reportedly the 8890 is more battery efficient overall than the SD820.
Blake Lee
1.) Don't.
t. dude who got a used Note 3 that randomly died in a month.
Isaiah Gomez
Alright I did it. After looking around on wierd chink websites I finally decided and ordered my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Prime) at TOP ONE trough AliExpress. There are some cheaper places but here they promise that, if you order trough DHL you are guaranteed not to pay import taxes. Almost all reviews of the shop are great so I thought "fuck it".
Any reason to cancel my order? Bad experiences with Top One? They will apparently install googleplay and another ROM. If they install malware I'll just need to put a new one on. Its about time I learn that.
Christopher White
Redmeme note 3 pro if you want huge battery, camera is alright, but it doesn't have stock android.
If these chinks actually commit to unlocking it, it'll be an amazing phone.
Anthony Green
Just checked the Google Fi store page, is this really for canucks? I'm amazed to say the least. I'm sure that 199$ for the Nexus 5x is the american cost, but holy hot damn is that good.
Only downside is I'll need it to be activated according to the store page.
On that note, anyone know a good cell-service provider comparison chart for Canucks, specifically people in Ontario?
William King
Follow-up: Checked the terms, they want me to have a Google Fi account and activate service for it, or else they'll charge 150$ extra to match the normal price, and Google Fi is for the USA only.
$269 for the 32GB North American variant of the Nexus 5X.
Arguably a worse deal than the Moto X Pure at $250 from the same site.
Camden Sullivan
Redmeme 3S/Pro vs Xiaomi Mi4c? Which one should I buy if I want a 5'' phone?
Adrian Lopez
guess i'll stay away from used phones then also nothing screams your a huge faggot other than gold phones
Jose Clark
No, it's a good shop. when you get it post the version from about->settings to see if it's the correct MiUi version.
Kayden Watson
Checking some specs on the two, I guess it's safe to say the Moto X Pure is a better choice then huh?
I'm not exactly attached to any specific design, I'm just looking to get away from my Moto E 1st gen.
Xavier Allen
Thinking of buying a Xiaomi Redmi 3S to play Pokemon Go with the augmented reality thing. (please don't judge me) Is it any good? Should I go for it? I'm totally new to this whole chink shit thing.
Robert Diaz
The black and silver variants were also $540 but have moved up to $580 in the last week, sadly.
Luke Reyes
SD808 on the Mi4c is better but no SD slot and a smaller battery.
Justin Bailey
silver is 550 on amazon but all sites seem to sell the black one for 580+ i think its because more people want the other colors over gold so they raised prices like the good goys they are also do you think im better off getting an htc 10?
Wyatt King
One difference between Amazon and B&H is that B&H offers their own 1-year warranty on unlocked variants (that are typically orphaned by the OEM when it comes to warranty). Amazon does not warranty theirs.
HTC 10? I don't care for HTC. Their internal design and construction are below average in my experience, so I tend to be biased against them. I would rate any variant of Galaxy S7 as, say, $80-$100 higher in value than an HTC 10. Of course, that's my subjective opinion but you did ask.
Carter Stewart
My Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini 2 is dying, so I need a new phone...which won't die within 2 or 3 years. Previous one was a HTC took 5 years to kill it, so it was a pretty awesome phone.
>Country Eastern European country.... >Features Just a little bit better than my previous phone is okay for me, but I mostly use it to take pictures, so maybe a better camera.... I don't wanna buy a new in 2 years. >Budget 300$ >Size No more than 5" I just simply hate those 6" "phones"
Atm I really like Sony Xperia XA....sadly the all mighty Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro is 320-340$ in my country which is too much for me.
>adly the all mighty Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro is 320-340$ in my country which is too much for me. Order from Aliexpress.
300$ is exactly the Zuk Z2 which is the most powerful specs you could get away with for that amount of money (SD820+4GB ram). 5" as well.
The RN3P is great but the camera is on the weak side.
Jonathan Brooks
Should I get a used Note 4 or a new Moto G4?

I'm looking to switch to Project Fi. Good or bad idea? Lack of choice of phones is kind of shitty. I guess I'd be getting a Nexus 6P. Are they worth $400?
I have a 1st gen Moto X on USC right now. Kind of bummed about having to buy a new phone because this one still works fine.

Hey, so I'm not sure if you're a Canuck or not, but that site wont sell me the Moto X Pure, I didn't test with the Nexus 5X, but it seems like it's just some stupid shipping restriction.

So, maybe you can help with this though: I've checked a bit, and it seems Wind Mobile is the best carrier for what I need. So going with them, which of the phones that they offer would you say is the best option here?
