I want Note 7, but it's crazy expensive.

Are there any other large screen phones with functionality similar to the S-Pen?

So hard to find a good phone that supports ATT 4G LTE bands

>buy a z5c because it's small and is supposed to have good battery life and camera
>camera is actually shit and takes blurry pictures
>standby battery life is great; rarely crack 2h sot
>z5 series gets overlooked for betas and updates
>tfw you fell for the sony meme

i should have never stopped getting nexus phones

No.

Note 3/4

Mi Max + AmazonBasics Capacitive Stylus

Should I pull the trigger on the Moto G4?

Redmi 4 announced

>3gb ram
>2ghz octa core
>32gb + micro sd slot
>4100mah battery
>allegedly only 100$
>releasing in august or september

What is the catch

Chinese support

That it hasn't been announced yet? it's just rumors and it won't launch until the end of September, probably late October for real launch.

xiaomitoday.com/xiaomi-redmi-4-specs-and-mi-note-2-specs-release-date-revealed/

Any anons with an iPhone 6s Plus? It looks kind of nice

The S Pen does much more than a stylus.

How do I unlock the bootloader of htc one m9?

I can already predict the new Nexus will be too expensive for me, but I'm looking forward to buying the 6p.

How's the heat management compared to the 5x?
If I use a gaming app, I can't charge the device, no matter if it's a wall plug or a external batt.

No, it overheats.

I just wish there was a phone sub 300 dollars that had a fantastic camera but still functioned ok as a phone

Is there a reason my Nexus 6P gets so damn hot? I run no games or taxing applications and I've even underclocked it by a few hundred MHz. I use Greenify too.

best poor folk phone?

Budget 160. 180 USD max.

Well this answers that

I have a Note 3 currently, but it's battery is starting to die.

The Note 7 looks like a nice upgrade to go with, but is there anything else that would be comparable?

>Is there a reason my Nexus 6P gets so damn hot?
Snapdragon 810 Housefire©

Shit didn't even notice, yeah it's terrible it gets so hot just browsing using Clover.

The Note 3 has a replaceable battery, though.

RN3P.

I need help with the iTunes store on my iPhone 4. It's telling me to enter my Apple ID password for an old account that doesn't exist anymore, which I don't even remember the Apple ID password for in the first place. Is there any way to fix this?

It's supposed to be a V2 or some shit with better thermals or at least that's how it was advertised.

yep

buy a blender
put iphone in your new blender
turn your blender on
buy an android phone

Ebin.

Stop shilling this shit. Anyone in North America who owns this gets shafted by any support.

owning an iphone basically means you admit that you watch superhero movies, play call of duty, listen to american music, like white women, like big tits, have a car as your desktop wallpaper, know only one language, like your steaks medium rare, eat your burger before you eat your fries

you might as well post your facebook and tell everyone how you and jamal met saquesha at subway

I own an iPhone because my old iPod from 2006 was fucking up and I needed a more efficient way to listen to music, and I also wanted to have a mobile phone in case I ever needed to call someone. I don't own any other Apple products.

what, do you buy your music?

Project ara. Criticisms? Do you think it'll be as great as Google says? As is I would be ecstatic to get my hands on one when it's released to the public.

No. Most of my shit doesn't even have an album cover.

is there any reason i shouldn't upgrade to the LG G5?

I think what's going on is that you're supposed to sign in with the Apple ID that you bought the phone with, and that's where I'm fucked. I forgot my original ID a long time ago, and I got a new one yesterday.

Is it better to buy an unlocked phone or buy the same phone but under a contract for two years for 55$? The phone is somewhere around 700$.

Exact predicament I was in a few months ago.
I thought about it in the long run, how much will each choice cost? And if you go with the contract, are you ok with that minimum monthly cost / cell provider?
In Canada a phone off contract would be about $500 with a nexus then a BYOD plan would be $35. Comparing a similar device to a nexus (in specs), with a 2 year contract and a $50-60 monthly, it came to be almost $250-$300 more.
By saving money, having more plan freedom, but having to spend more up front, I was willing to do so.

I really want to get a OnePlus 3. Currently have a OnePlus X. Advice, Sup Forums? .

The part that kills the OnePlus 3 for me is the fact that there is no microSD card slot. Other than that, the phone looks great. You'd be getting a huge upgrade in the GPU department and a small one in the CPU. I don't know why anyone would want to record 2k video, but thats my opinion. A small upgrade but probably noticeable in your camera megapixels. That's pretty much all I have to say for it. Don't know if the price tag suits the phone, but it does compete very well with newer phones in the price. Considering the ability to insert an SD card has been removed and the capacity being limited to 64 GB of storage, I don't think I will be personally getting this phone.

Refurbished G4?

What's the current state of phone affairs?
Stagnant? Progressing? Any features actually useful or is it all about scanning my fingerprint and collecting my DNA every time I hold the phone?

It's a bad meme.

It's bad.

I just want a good budget phone with great music quality.

Why don't they exist in US?

Go for it

LG G4

Anyone with a Verizon S7 know if they've pushed a fix for Quadrooter yet? I'd like to get that phone but I'd rather wait until I'm not going to join a Russian botnet.

Give it back Tyrone

All I'm gonna tell you is to find a way to delete the setup.app.

Then flash a new firmware after that so you can use your phone properly, and even put a lock on it like now.

>muh camera
I've owned at least 15 different cell phones over the last 12 years and could count on one hand the number of pictures I've taken with them.
Attention whore faggots like you are the reason why nobody makes a reasonably priced phone with decent specs anymore.
I hope you get raped by a pack of angry wildebeests.

>living an empty life void of memorable moments you wish to keep

Sorry, friend

I was thinking about getting the ZTE Max Pro.
Does anyone have one and is willing to recommend it?
Are there any other comparable phones I should get instead?

is there a difference between original samsung galaxy models from the korean models?
They are selling korean models on my area at a cheaper price (ie if original is 150$ the korean model is 100$)

Okay, I need:

over 5.5 inches of phone
4GB+
quad core
huge battery, 3500+
Price doesn't matter

what do

go to bed

outikiel 10000

Is there any reason to upgrade your Note 4?

>brand new motog3
>android 6
>have dank memes on Downloads folder
>Uninstall/reinstall browser
>all the pictures in downloads gone

What the fuck happened?
Have you seen this happening before?

HEY YO G SAQUESHA WUZ DA BOMB DAT PUSSY WUZ TIGHT

>you

Ordered Moto X Pure. What should I do to make the most of it? Is Nova needed? From what I know it's Google Launcher on stock, aye?

I own an iphone, I don't watch superhero movies, don't play call of duty, listen to a lot of different music, American included. I like white women, but also Asian women too. I prefer compact tits. I don't even remember what's my wallpaper, but it's not a car. I know 4 languages. I don't like steaks and don't eat fast food. I also don't have a fb account and a friend named Jamal.

Turns out your predictions were shit.

It's not brand new. Return it.

Note 7
Nope
You've chosen well senpai

Bloatware; frequencies might be incompatible. Go to frequencycheck.com and see if everything's okay. Other than that, no big differences.

is the OnePlus 2 worth buying? it's 300€ where I live, the same price as the Honor 7
it beat's the Honor in pretty much everything, only con for me would be the huge size of the OP2

>$400 max
>on AT&T
>need rooting
>cannot use a phone above 5.2 comfortably once a case is on
>need a micro sdslot
Why are the current selection of phones so goddamn shit right now?
Fuck.

comment on the quality of sound on s7 edge please. not the speakers.

The Snapdragon 810 has well known overheating issues though, but I heard that Oneplus managed to smoothen the experience with recent updates, so it's a good buy.

If you somehow can bump your budget to €400, the OP3 is a no-brainer.

That's impossible senpai, if you can live without a microSD slot, get the Galaxy S6.

Otherwise a Oneplus 3, but it's big and there's no mSD slot either.

Only other thing I can think of is the Xperia Z5.

op2 should be fine unless you care about storage. 65gb max/no sdcard slot. i'd get op2 anyway though.

>Can get an iphone 6 (64GB) for basically free cause my buddy bought the s7 edge
>he says I can do whatever I want with it
>he still has his insurance which means I can smash it to get a new/refurbished one
>thought about getting the OP3 before

>keep the iphone or get the OP3?
>I don't care about IOS vs Android
>I just want the better phone that will atleast last me for another year

Always get what is free

S7 edge

I could sell both the iphone and my s5 that I've got lying somewhere around here.
Means Id get the OP3 theoretically "free" too. I can't decide though.
I've always been happy with using iphones and when I switched from an 5s to the s5 I was blown away at first. I love android but I was soon disappointed by Samsung because it started to lagg like hell. I'm not that into custom roms in fear of breaking things.
I thought because of the near to stock android experience the OP3 would suit me well.

Are all Xiaomi devices good or should I be aware of some exceptions when I'm buying?

Also, any wearables that let you control music players when your phone is locked and in your pocket?

Nexus 5X for 200€ deal or no?

Mi5 or OP3?

get the iphone renewed.

see pic related

What do you think of those galaxy s7's that are locked in the us/canada but work in other countries that are like 300-400$ im living in the middle east for 2-3 years should i get one or are they fishy?

Well that did not help at all.
Id take an iphone with its flaws over a Samsung lagg 7 edge anytime.
Wait another year and it's unusable without mods.
I think I should go for the iphone

and by Mi5 I mean Mi5 Pro or Prime

>Well that did not help at all.
>Id take an iphone with its flaws over a Samsung lagg 7 edge anytime.
Then what was the point of your question?

>Wait another year and it's unusable without mods.
I stall Nova launcher, uninstall/disable apps you don't beed, and clean app cache every month and it will stay fast and usable for many ywars.

>I think I should go for the iphone
Your call m8, though you're gonna get fucked up the ass with all those flaws. That iPhone also only has 2GB of RAM so expect shit to have to constantly reload after you amass a little bit of app cache over a few days.

I can get a redmi note 3 pro 3gb 32 gb version, but it's 285 euros where I live.
Which is way too overpiced, but getting one from china means no warranty.
What to do?

>same price as high end android smartphones
>I guess, if you need this much space on a phone
>torrenting on a phone
>no
>no
>same as other high end smartphones
>no
>yes
>with 3rd party apps
>not lagtunes but yes
>yes
>yes
>physical back button is pleb tier
>??????????????
>idk about that
>complaining about iphone encryption while using android
>ayy lmao

that screen is fucking retarded, 1/10 for making me reply

how hard would it be to install linux on a windows phone now rol.im/securegoldenkeyboot/

Well in the most videos/comparisons the iphone outshines the s7 in loading speed and especially reloading apps.
The s7 had to reload almost every game while the iphone and them still storage.
I prefer less ram with better optimization and thus better performance. And the nova launcher does shit. It's just for optics and won't boost performance that much

I'm not hating on android in fact I really liked it and would love to have another experiences in the future but never again with Samsung.
I wanted to give the nexus devices a chance and since the OP3 is rather cheap and close to stock android I might as well try I

The picture lists subjective options that aren't even right most of the times.
People consider iphones bad because of their software mostly

>hurr durr I can't use muh turrents
Well don't be a cheap fag and actually spend the god damn 99 cents

And anyone that uses anything above 64 GB has never heard of a laptop it seems.

While these are a couple of things I don't get the hate.
Use the phone that you like and that's it.
Competition only favours the consumer so if apple continues raising their prices more companies will lower theirs to catch their fanbase

Mine gets slightly hot if i play games and charge it at the same time. Its no too hot too hold or anything

Is there a new big battery phone at the block? Any news about the k6000premium? Or should I just get a v10 with extended battery 420€..? The housefire can't be worse than my HTC m7, but the price could be better...

...

Will moto x pure/style get Nougat?

Is it safe to buy OnePlus 3 from some chinese distributor on aliexpress.com?

Do you have a thread for coding stuff for a smartphone?

Best phone out right now that supports band 30 as I'm on ATT. Should I just not care about it and get international s7 edge?

I'd only get Xiaomi devices with Snadragon processors
Yes
OP3
The Oneplus 3 will serve you better than a Samsung with LaggWizz
Still pretty hard
It's probably fine
Get the s7

MVP

Why S7 over Edge? and international s7 or US S7?
