hey /spg/, Xperia Z3 or the Moto G4 Plus? Also, the LG G4 bootloop issue will never be fixed, right?

Z3 all the way Still the best battery life

hows cyanogenmod on the htc m7? my dads phones choking up with all the crapware hes being fed, so im considering installing cyanogenmod on it for him
William Gutierrez
Google's store. I wouldn't get excited though. All indicators point to it being disappointing.

How much should the Nexus 5x be expected to drop once the new nexus's drop
The recommended chinkphones list in the wiki need to be updated
disappointing in what way
Anthony Morgan
Need new Android because HTC 626 constantly out of storage.
On T-Mobile USA, so LTE needed.
-$200ish -IR blaster -Good speakers - MicroSD - At least 16gb of interal storage.
Anything that isn't shit?
Cooper Perry
Is it still worth getting the Nexus 6p? I have a 5x right now and I can't stand it. I can get the 6p for 350- should I go for it or should I wait for the new nexuses?

What's the best cell phone to blast Juan Gabriel's classic hits?
Sebastian Murphy
Step back from last year in a few regards.
No front facing speakers Thinner than the 6p which means it'll probably have a smaller battery Looks dumb The 821 won't be much faster than the 820 is at all 4GB of ram etc
Noah Ross
but last year has 2gb of ram
Ethan Howard
There isn't really much to discuss. Iphones have little variation, and little you can mess with. SPG is basically "what should I buy?" but if you want an iPhone you don't need to ask that question.
Austin Fisher

Not sure about IR but those are some of the few solid choices under 200

iPhones are for normies and performance junkies. neither of which are on Sup Forums

So is a Z3 compact a good phone in terms of processing power and reliability? I've been using a Safelink drug dealer phone for the past 4+ years so I think I need to finally get a smartphone.
Jaxson Ross
Performance junkies aren't on Sup Forums?
Kevin Davis
The Note 7 is god tier. I just got one today and it is amazing.
If you can buy it on contract get it. If not wait for the price to comes down, unless you were going to buy the galaxy gear fit 2 anyway.

Luke Edwards

Luis Ross
Not really. Take a look around. Sup Forums settles for less than top tier performance for other benefits they find more valuable, like freedom, privacy, options, customization, etc.
Isaac Miller
Not a meme if you live outside of the US and get full 4G on it
Justin Roberts
No it's not. Those numbers don't translate to real world performance.
Meme test jPhones would only display the app and won't actually respond to touches at first
Gavin Watson
but that's not true, he interacts with the app before he hits the home button. Also even if it is true, doesn't change the fact that the note 7 didn't keep a single fucking app in cache. It's pathetic

Differing values. If you're a performance junkie there's no reason to buy anything but an iPhone. But if you want muh features then buy Android.
Benjamin Moore
Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 2GB 16GB version for $145 shipped.
Not sure if smart purchase or not. It's my first smartphone.
Benjamin Murphy
Java isn't interpreted and it pretty much is compiled on the phones now.
Dominic Young
I have two smartphones right now; >iPhone 6 Plus >LG Risio LG is fucking slow to update or they don't really update your shit at all.
I'm gonna use the iPhone until it no longer receives iOS updates, which might take some time.
But if I go Android again, which OEM actually supports their phones for a couple of years with updates? I know Nexus goes for at least two years, but I have no desire to root and flash ROMs, but I also have zero interest in buying a new phone just because such and such OEM stops giving me updates.
I just want my phone to be there to make calls, text, browse the net, and use a few dating apps. That's all I really care about, that and price. The fact that the iPhone SE is 400 bucks is still crazy but I doubt that Apple will go much cheaper than that unless they want to get more people onto their services.
Anthony Fisher
performance means nothing when you're using garbage iOS
Josiah Walker
I bought the Axon 7. How cool am I from a 1-10?
John Gomez
Here's what matters to me. I guess price isn't too much a factor, but anyway...
- Dual front speakers - micro SD - good battery - quick charge - Stock, ROM, or root - 5.2" max
Does anything like this exist? I'm not optimistic :(
Isaac Parker
Some people would still be using their Note 2 for another 3 more years after this, flashing isn't that hard
Caleb Davis
There's is no equivalent android device. Except if you use the power of free(asinlibre)dom and flash a Rom.

Gavin Edwards
You seem to be looking at two different things.
If you just want your phone to be available to do stuff, you don't need update support for the OS, do you?
As for support after 2 years, if Google itself doesn't go longer than that I doubt anyone else would. The 6S should be supported for at least 3 years though, my 5S is from 2013 and is getting iOS 10.

Lag hidden behind slow animations Can't download file over 100mb on mobile data Have to jailbreak to gain basic functionality Can't easily play webm or post png files, top kekkles Can't downgrade if applel decides you need to buy a new jPhone
Liam Lee
no customization and restrictions are reason enough
I have an android phone and iPad
I noticed games constantly crash on the iPad and never on my android.
Robert Sanchez
I was gonna make a seperate thread about this but whatever.
Recently traded in my GS4 for a Nexus 5X. I love it, but 16gb turned out to be too small for me (since only 10 is available initially, and my provider doesn't offer 32gb versions because the phone is so unpopular), so I'm going to switch to the Moto G4.
What am I in for?
My biggest concerns are software and build quality. I love that Moto is one of the only brands that doesn't clutter up the OS with bullshit (because I'm love with stock Android), but the camera app looks a bit iffy and the scale of the interface (like the nav bar) looks a bit bigger than I expected? And since the back is removable, should I expect creaking and bad quality? This 5X is solid as a rock and it's gonna be tough to part with it but I need that extra storage.
Mason Moore
I know it's a great phone.... But that's from 2013
Is the phone market seriously stagnating that hard?????
Justin Reed
Are you seriously that retarded if you think a 2 year old flagship is somehow outdated?
Aiden Adams
See, if it was a laptop or desktop, I would go through all that shit. But things like smartphones are so basic, even Android ones that I feel like I shouldn't have to mess around with it.
Shame.
I want updates due to security. I know there is no such thing as a device that is 100% secure from malware or exploits (Just look at the funny cat and mouse game between Apple and jailbreakers) but it helps that if something major happens, I can at least get an update to patch it (hopefully).
iOS and Android, to be honest are so fucking similar that fighting over it is pretty silly. The biggest issue I have with a lot of the Android phones are the updates from OEMs.
Brody Green

I just rooted my phone for the first time in 4 years. What should I do? What's that tethering app called?

Elijah Harris
What the fuck do you do that requires more than 2 GB a month? Serious question.
Jason James
For the camera app you just activate expert mode (or however its called) And I dunno what you mean for the interface being bigger, its normal for 5.5 inchers Unless you start taking off/on the back every 20 seconds like an autist, its pretty solid
Isaac Bennett
Z3 Compact came out in 2014, shitstain Kill yourself
Is the nexus 9 worth buying? Currently my parents have a nexus 10 but it's becoming very slow and kind of annoying to use. I'm going to root and flash some custom roms on it to see if that speeds it up at all, but if that doesn't work then I want to know what alternatives I have.
I had a pretty good experience with the nexus so I want to stay with the line, but I've heard conflicting opinions about the 9.
Aaron Ortiz

Wait for the price drop. If you're like me and dont need top end specs, a price drop of the 5x or 6p will be perfect

not worth upgrading from a 5x. It probably won't even be worth an upgrade to this year's nexus devices with a device that recent. What don't you like about it? From what I understand the 5X is very similar to my moto x pure, and I still love mine
Jack Torres
