>Nexus 5X Ice out of stock

is it possible to get landscape mode keyboard for messaging app in MIUI 7 ?

Which phone has the fastest fingerprint scanner in the market right now?

just impulse bought a Lenovo Vibe K4 today because my old phone broke down last weekend

how fucked am I?

>nexus 2016 to be released in october

Unacceptable. I broke my 5x and have been dealing with a shit-phone-alcatel evolve 2 for the last month. I cannot wait for october.

I really can't wait to get this bad boy. Switching from apple.

What are some good must have apps for android?

OP3

lmao
october at earliest friend
and that isn't taking into account how shit google is at stock and therefore you'll probably be waiting until 2017

Hiya!
I'd love to know what the best windows phone for the money is (preferably not too pricey). Thank youu

What first smartphone should I get /spg/

I want to rice that bitch later.
Budget mid-range to high

>Your face when brand new nexus phone
>Your wallet when brand new nexus phone

950 is at €399 here with a free docking station, seems OK for a SD 808.

If you guys know if any good WP under €200 though, I'm interested.
The 550 (€99) has a shite SD 210
The 640 (€139) has an old SD 400
The 650 (€199) has a shite SD 212

Just got my Nexus 5x in the mail activating it now. What's /spg/'s opinion? Previous phone was a Nexus 6 that I adored.

Legit do not fucking buy a Windows phone.

>>Your wallet when brand new nexus phone

Part of me is considering just buying a refurb of the original 5 for $130

6p

>tfw $199 Nexus 5x

What should i get between

P8lite
moto-g (2015)
redmi 3

and why?

where

Google store. Discount for signing up with Project Fi

Is the Samsung A5 the best bang for you buck right now ?

>Good screen
>Good camera
>2 day battery

I want to buy a high end phone but looking at the tests it doesn't seem so justifiable

I was looking at either S7 or LG G5

6p

G5 is cheaper and charges faster
S7 is waterproof, better battery
Otherwise they're the same

>tfw Nexus 6p is too big to comfortably use
>tfw Nexus 5x max capacity is 32gb
>tfw really like project fi

I really hope the nexus 2016 will be

there is no 6p where I live

you fucking manlet

>buy used phone on amazon
>seller wont ship, tell him to cancel

>buy phone on ebay
>seller runs out of stock
>issues refund

>buy phone off swappa
>amazon seller ships phone 2 days past delivery date
>have to refund swappa

and thats how I wound up with 1100 dollars in pending transactions and no phone

just go outside you retard and buy a phone from a shop

redmi 3 or moto g 2015
moto g is suppost to get n

...

yes there is, look harder
you can't rice the S7 or G5 as much as you could the 6p, so go look for it

>paid full price because I didn't want to deal with the trouble of getting out of Project Fi

will the iris scanner works on [spoiler]chinks[/spoiler]?

damn

I like Fi because I don't use much data(less than 2gb/mo) and it's saving me a pretty good bit of money versus other companies in the area.

Get better taste

Anyone play around with Elemental X Kernel with their smartphone to boost the sound?

Specifically my 5x is p low on speakers and audio output. Not sure what the recommended settings are / don't want to blow out the speakers

n what? How would you say the cameras compare between those 2?

>n what

This is what happens when you don't use Nexus devices kids.

sony products are like expensive china, they look nice, work good but they'll break if you so much as look at them wrong

Anyone here own the OP3 for more than 2 weeks? Any signs of slow downs or heat issues? My only concern is the longevity of the phone.

I have it ordered but wondering if I should cancel

Constantly torn between Android and iOS. Currently going back and forth between an iPhone 6s Plus and a Nexus 6p.
With that being said I've been considering trading in my 6s Plus for the S7 Edge leaving me with no iOS to play around with. Only reason I stick with iOS is convenience because every one I know has an iPhone and imessage is great.
Could anyone persuade me either which way? Been mulling this over for weeks now.
(Very nervous about touchjizz. Had a note 4 previously.)

I'm foaming at the mouth for some Nexus Sailfish/Marlin news. Anyone got anything?

No problems here. Bought it a launch.

Serious question since I've never used an iPhone. What's so great about iMessage? Hell, what's so great about iOS in general? I tried googling something on my friend's iPhone and wanted to throw it across the room...

>2770mah

>can barely do shit on an iPhone
Why would you even consider getting one?

iOS is dead

how to put new os on my moto g
it says "could not launch img" or some shit in startup

Are you satisfied with it? Mind telling me what you do on your phone?
I really want a decent battery / speakers / audio output and not a heat machine like the Nexus lines

recommend me a chinkphone that has

1) 5.5" screen
2) 4g
3) at least 2 gb ram
4) slot for external SD
5) a price of ~100 dollaroos

So far I'm between:

>Leagoo Elite 5
>Doogee Valencia 2 Y100 Plus
>HomTom HT7 Pro
>Siswoo C55
>Doogee Y200

you need the vendor img. look for it in the xda of whatever rom ur using

Isn't something like Honor 7 bettet? Processor is shit though, but overall it's still better than what a5 offers. It costs like 20 or 30$ more, so do as you please user.

What's your opinion on the Nokia Lumia 635?

I think the glass shatters by itself because the top portion of the phone is noticeably hotter than the lower part, but jesus fucking christ, could it have at least waited more than 10 fucking hours since the thing's arrived at home to shit itself? Such a massive kick in the nuts.

I've just kind of always used them since I started using smartphones since everyone I knew did. What I like most about iOS is essentially just imessage and the cameras. Imessage to me is great because everyone I know uses it. It's fast, and simple. Super normie. It'd be like if every message you sent was through Facebook messenger. With the cameras.. ive always thought any Android operated phones front facing camera gave a weird, distant, almost fish eyed view which looks cheesy to me.
Those are seriously the only reasons I continue to use iOS. I absolutely love Android, but for some reason can't seem to break free of wanting to use both.

Oneplus 3 or iPhone 6s. iPhone is faster but with the bloated iOS animation it takes slightly longer to be ready. Op3 is ready immediately.

>Phone runs out of battery in the middle of watching a video

I might as well get a fucking iPhone 6s+

Their cell service is unrivaled in my area though

danke (meme)

>Snapdragon 615
It's shit.

Homtom HT17 Pro. it's the newer version of the HT7 Pro.

>Battery: enough to get you through the day, 5h SOT
>Speaker: bottom firing average speaker, what did you expect
>Audio output: sounds fine to me, I'm not an audiophile

If you really care about audio, you might wanna check out the Axon 7, if you want the best all around phone (heat management, performance, camera), get the OP3.

At least you don't have a phone that always turns itself off when it's out of the charger

not OP, but got mine 3 weeks ago. Really satisfied with it coming from a moto g. Mostly use it for pleb things like clover, popcorn time, facebotnet, youtube and some games too.

>decent battery
The battery is slightly worse than my moto g, which I could sometimes use for 2 days without charging. Max battery life I had with the OP3 was a day and a half, but I've ordered a 10000 xiaomeme powerbank for 14 dollars so battery life won't really be an issue anymore when I get it

>speakers
speakers are ok, they're on the bottom of the phone and get pretty loud, don't expect them to amaze you.

>audio output
the dac on this thing is surprisingly good compared to the moto g I had before and even my (pretty expensive) laptop

>heat
The only time this phone got remotely warm was when I had been using it for an hour playing intensive games, mind you this was warm and not hot. dash charging is also pretty ool and it never makes the phone hot

Does anyone know how to get the RedMeme3 without waiting months for delivery.

I ordered one on July 17, just to get an email last night:
>"the factory informed us that they need to postpone the available time of your item because lacking of special materials".

My N5 barely even works anymore, and I need a phone for work ASAP.

Amazon has the Honor 5X for 187, is it worth it?

I ordered an Elephone P9000 a few days back. It looks great on paper and has gotten a lot of good reviews, but I can't help feeling like I made a mistake. Should I have gone with a Redmeme instead?

that is a really sexy phone, I'd honestly buy it over the redmi for looks alone.

It looks like a good phone and it's only 200 dollarydoos, but it's still chink shit so you have no warranty.

Ah babyduck syndrome

you bought a phone from a none name chink company,see ya in the 2 months when that shit falls apart

beside anyone else buying phones from china only and only buy shit from these:
vivo
oppo
zte/nubia
huawei/honor
xiaomi
meizu
le eco

rest are garbage garage tier that sell their shit only to people from the west,no one in china never heard about them

>vivo
>meizu
>le eco
no

What are Sup Forums's thoughts of the Moto G4 Plus?
Seems like the most reasonably priced phone in Australia. Phones are ridiculously expensive here. No way I'd ever spend over $500AUD on a fucking phone.

Where are you from?

FUCK THIS GAY EARTH AND FUCK ONE PLUS

I've been slaving away at fucking students pay for fucking one month so I could buy their retarded faggot OP3 phone and when I want to buy it they restrict sales in my country due to manufacturing problems. So I have to wait with my shitty unbearable replacement Samsung Galaxy S plus until sept 1 with shipping unless I get the gay gold/white version.

WHY ISN'T MY MONEY AS GOOD AS THOSE FUCKING BREXIT CRETINS MONEY?

I don't want to cave in and buy the gay gold/white version.

motorola phones are good but motorola themselves are one of the shittiest brands in terms in updates

looks good but it's your choice

This is objectively the best phablet phone

There is no point in making anymore phablets until USB 3.0 and new battery technology are mainstream.

I have used lots of Android phones in the past (started with a Galaxy S, had Nexus 4, 5, S3, S5, S6 for a brief time) and I ended up settling in iOS because shit just works and I really didn't had time or need of thinkering anymore (compiled kernels for fun and browsed Android sources to know them).

With that said I've been tempted to buy an S7 but I feel I'm now very tied to iOS ecosystem and used to lots of the services and conveniences that the platform has, same reason that made me hesitate going iOS in the first place.

It sucks that I use an iPad daily and there's no good Android tablets, or as good as iPads so that's a major point for me to stay in Apple's faggotry
>inb4 samsung tabshit or chinkshit

Should I get the Redmi 3S or the Redmi 3 Pro?

I caved in and bought the gay white,gold version. Fuck me. I hate myself.

Redmi 3s Pro. better SoC and global rom soon.

Country: USA
Carrier: Sprint
Budget: $300
Wanted features: Replaceable battery, expandable memory, decent camera and specs
help please

So for instance, I could grant each user admin rights for their own docker so they would be responsible for their own environment? Or is it more exclusively for single programs?

Can the HTC 10 play HEVC 10bit? Anyone here able to watch anime like Coalgirls on theirs without problems?

Gonna be using my phone mostly for travel, so watching anime on flights and picture taking. Between these three, which would you get: HTC 10, OnePlus 3, S7 Edge?

>buy replacement battery
>cable falls off

fuck off weeaboo, 10bit animie is a stupid meme.

should've just canceled the order

i'm not a weeb but do you have any idea how shitty 8 bits is?

Country : Europe
Want :
- 5" max
- strong battery life, let's say 1.5 day
- Good camera

Do Android/MIUI7 phones have any kind of audio cancellation of music/audio blasting from the phone's own speakers, during calls?

My boss just rang me while I was watching a porn music video, and my stupid firefox browser kept playing the audio track during the call. He didn't react to it but now I'm afraid he might have heard the lewd audio track. I wasn't talking via loudspeaker, just the regular call.

Pls help me /spg/

Just get a black case sheesh.

>replaceable battery.
Eh, it's only LG G3/4.

>5" max
>strong battery life
Remdi 3s Pro.
