Moto G4 or honor 5x, or any suggestion that's under 200 quid?? Can't get a RN3P due to lack of UK sellers and don't want to pay customs tax
Joshua Long
if you aren't in a rush I'd advise you to wait for redmi 4 prime reviews. Maybe it'll be a good phone.
Joseph Gray
Can't get any xiaomi phone due to customs tax's and need a new phone before Christmas due to my iPhone 5 battery failing
Josiah Barnes
wileyfox swift 2 plus maybe
Jace Harris
How good is the ZTE Axon 7?
Jackson Foster
Have thought about waiting for that, I would also love a finger meme sensor but the first wileyfox swift had apparent shutdown issues which is why I didn't buy it a month ago and 1080p display or 720p AMOLED is a must

Original Post
T-Mobile, USA. Looking for a new Android phone. My two requirements are that the phone gets:
LTE (band compatible) and wont die in 3 years.
Anyone have opinions?
(OP3) Do you think it will be supported beyond 2 years? What I can see online is the phones are only 2 years.
Elijah Roberts
so I bought a smart phone. now what

By using it you'll eventually become smart.
Sebastian Anderson
that would be outstanding

It's a meme pushed by smartphone manufacturers to get you buy more charging accessories while shortening the lifespan of your charging port.
Just look at how Apple has removed their headphone jack to make users wear out their charging port faster. They're now pushing for Bluetooth earpods and soon will have their own patented wireless charging pad.

What's the difference between the regular xiaomi rom and the xiaomi.eu rom? Does the xiaomi.eu rom not connect to the xiaomi servers all teh time asking for updates and so on?
Jaxson Butler
Hey /spg/ I'm looking to get a 5" or preferably smaller (~4.7" is ideal) than that phone because I'm a handlet. I'm in America with T-Mobile. I have a slight preference for a physical homescreen button. I don't game, just some animu and mango reading.
I'm looking mostly at chinkphones: Meizu M3s ~$140 - Haven't heard much about this phone. Yota Phone 2 ~$140-$200 - Dual screen e-ink gimmick, the YD205 (and possibly YD201) seem compatible with bands Zuk Z2 ~$250 - Seems like a decent phone
I looked at the Redmi 3s, but I remember reading awhile back about some weird issues with the phone not working properly?
Or should I just go for a used Sony Z5 compact around ~$300-$350? Besides the price, any reasons why I shouldn't get this?
Camden Walker
G4+.
Xperia X Compact.
Noah Morgan
general consensus is that it's punching pretty hard for its price bracket, but camera is shit-tier in low light and its stock software is love/hate. that being said, i have one coming in the mail because camera isn't super important to me, and i think it'll be a good upgrade from my dying s4
Nathan Hernandez
Tot wie das Volk.
Josiah Brooks
OP3 is sold out on their website. When do you expect it to restock? I could buy it from Amazon, but it would cost $485 and I really don't want to support third party resellers price gouging.
Benjamin Rodriguez
When can I expect the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 reviews to start rolling in?
Nolan Reed
Never. OP3T is launching November 14th and replacing it.
Jace Hernandez
Yeah it is, the G4 Play is more or less a compact version of the G4/G4+ ala Sony and their Z5/Z5C, don't give chinkshit to your grandparents because foreign uis are confusing and putting a pajeet rom on it means you'll have to do maintenance every other week, the moto just werks, I'd suggest an imeme if they weren't so expensive.
Angel Gutierrez
soon
David Wood
Oh and the 3T will cost $80 more than OP3.
Austin White
And atleast it will be still the same in Euro.
I don't mind if all the custom roms and modifications of the OP3 are also useable with the 3T....

At least tell your budget.
William Hughes
I'm on T-Mobile in America No budget but I still like saving money
features in order of preference:
>it works in my area >fast and responsive >decent battery life >large screen >not shit camera
anything besides these things would just be extra, please help /spg/ I'm so indecisive

Thank you for your suggestions, user.

Which phone is better?
Nexus 6 or Moto G4 Plus?
Parker Campbell
I'm on Verizon, currently have a Note 7 that I need to trade in. Thinking of the Pixel or jumping ship to iPhone.
Leo Evans
I don't understand why a Note user would switch to iPhone
Jonathan Turner
Chinkshit: >Le S3 (Redmi Note 3 Pro with US bands) (150$) >Le Pro3 (300$ version of 1+3 without 6gb of ram) >1+3 (400$)
LeEco stuff you have to pick up on their next flash sale. Their last flash sale sold out in four hours. I picked up the s3 for 150$ and am happy as a clam with it. Le Eco stuff is 5,5 inch screen though and has no headphone jack. You would need to use usb-c but both come with a pair.
Anthony Jones
Only thinking about it because I gotta trade in my Note 7. I honestly love the phone but have to switch it out for something. The Pixel has no wireless charging or a SD card slot, so it's just like an iPhone. The LGv20 is garbage but does have a SD card slot but no wireless charging.
It's a compromise either way. Figure I can try iPhones out then sell it when the new Note comes out and not lose too much money since they retain value so well
Dylan Sanders
G4+. N6 was a disaster.

I upgraded from an iPhone 4 16Gb to a Nexus 6p 64Gb two weeks ago. It's amazing. Night and day experience contrast. Recommend it to anyone who's on the fence about what phone to get and wants the stock android thing.
Cons: >battery life (less an issue for me as I have a charger at home and on my desk at work)
Holy shit I sound like a shill, but very pleased with it.
William Nelson
>camera isn't super important to me, and i think it'll be a good upgrade from my dying s4 Holy shit did I post this
I'm at the point where the back camera on my s4 doesn't even turn on and I'm still hesitant to buy. I'm stuck between the axon 7 (wow those speakers) and oneplus 3 though. Axon 7 has great hardware but oneplus 3 has smooth software. Tough choice.
Leo Robinson
Any confirmed black Friday deals? I think that's when I'll upgrade
Daniel Cox
For some reason I am doubting 1+3 will have a deal, because they are upping their production line to the SD 821.
Sebastian Richardson
They're doing that with the regular 1+3 or just the op3t?
If the regular op3, that's too bad because that was a very likely choice for me
Noah Jones
I've got €200 to purchase a good new smartphone. My previous was an Xperia M but it's broken now. These are the options. What is the best choice?
HTC One X €105 HTC Desire 620 €150 HTC One €180 Sony Xperia M4 €145 Sony Xperia Z1 €170 Samsung G3815 Express 2 €130 Samsung Galaxy S3 €165 Samsung Galaxy S4 €185
Benjamin Hughes
i would think they would just replace the 1+3 they are offering with the op3t. But I very well could be wrong? They might sell off the 1+3 from the previous line they made for a little cheaper on black friday to get rid of old stock in that case?
Justin Martinez
These are all crap. are you stuck in 2013? wtf? Get a fucking Moto G4 or RN3P.
Aaron Howard
what phone is that in the OP
does it work in the us
Nathaniel Nguyen
>These are all crap. are you stuck in 2013? wtf? >Get a fucking Moto G4 or RN3P. Ha. These are the options being sold in the tech store in my local town. My Dssktop comp and previous smartphone are both broken right now. So I'm not able to order online or do proper research. Those two you suggested, can I get those online for under €200?
Word so overused it's meaningless. Wireless charge is a top tier feature. Even forgetting that the V20 is not a great phone for the money.
Kevin Howard
Is One Plus Two a good phone? I like the specs but my concern is that it's made by a Chinese company. How long can I expect to use this phone before it turns to shit?
1+3 has better hardware, you get 2gb of extra ram and it's build quality is great. Not to mention all the custom roms and stock android.
axon 7 has better screen + speakers, battery is not actually 3250 and it's signal can have problems. 32-bit dac sounds ok though
Get the 1+3, just saying. Unless you REALLY want to go for the 2K display meme
Daniel Morales
don't buy it, it has overheating issues
Bentley Perez
>SD810 No, it's shit.
Only when gaymin.
Leo Rogers
Am I missing something or is the Pixel over priced and under featured? No SD card slot, no water resistance, no wireless charging yet google is trying to sell it for the price of a flagship phone
Jayden Sullivan
is that new le eco with the qhd screen and snapdragon 821 coming to the us? if not what other phones will have a qhd display and snapdragon 821?
Jeremiah Johnson
whats the best samsung galaxy s7 edge case?
Henry Johnson
What are some good mid-high end phones? My Carrier is going all out against AT&T this month.
No Motorola phones sadly, for whatever reason they wont sell them.
Hudson Barnes
galaxy s7
William Morris
google is too big and sucks at everything it does what else is new? been that way forever. Google fi failed within a month of being rolled out
Probably, LeEco has US bands bought so any of their phones will be coming to the U.S eventually.
Charles Hernandez
>It's a meme pushed by smartphone manufacturers to get you buy more charging accessories while shortening the lifespan of your charging port. > >Just look at how Apple has removed their headphone jack to make users wear out their charging port faster.
that doesn't make sense. charging wirelessly doesn't inflict wear and tear on your charging port
Jackson Kelly
>What is reading comprehension
I mean that they are pushing wireless charging to create even shittier charging ports. They want you to accept the fact that your smart phone's charging port will break down much faster nowadays so you better pay for those charging pads. Planned obsolescence is no longer 2 years, it has become 1 year, a few months even.
Jason Cruz
does it have an mSD slot and use LTE band 4?
Hunter Miller
>I looked at the Redmi 3s, but I remember reading awhile back about some weird issues with the phone not working properly? The 3S has reception issues if you aren't using two SIM's, you need a dummy SIM or a real SIM in the hybrid microSD/SIM slot otherwise you get lot's of connection drops The issue has been around for like a month at it hasn't been fixed, so it might be a hardware issue The Redmi 3 (non S) doesn't have this issue
Connor Stewart
alright, so it does have expandable memory. none of the company's other phones are compatible with band 4, so I'm guessing it probably isn't either
Aiden Adams
Cases are meme. Slap some dope dbrand™ skins on it.
Chase Davis
What's the best camera app for android? I have the LG Zero and the stock one is utter shit, not to mention the physical camera itself is barely passable.
Angel King
Should I buy the redmi 4 prime? I mean the specs are worse than Redmi note 3 pro and it's just a bit cheaper, though I prefer phones with 5"-5,2" to the bigger ones. I mean it looks like a good phone but it still feels like the redmi note 3 pro is just a better deal for its cost. What do anons? Should I get it or just simply ignore it and go for the greatest meme in 2016?
Ryan Clark
Dude the note 3 pro is the shit, confirmed. Don't leave it up to what ifs.
Anthony Myers
bump
Kayden Cruz
Xiaomi.eu ROM doesn't come with Xiaomi services and instead comes with Google services. ie. Google Play instead of Xiaomi things
Ayden Johnson
To those of you with the Redmi Note 3 Pro, do you actually use the stock rom or something else?
Nolan Stewart
What browser do you guys use? I'm tired of stock miui browser, chrome, and firefox
Thomas Harris
Anyone considering getting the LG v20? It's really good for me but I'm kind of concerned about bootloops. Have LG fixed that shit yet?
Liam Stewart
Is waiting for Moto X Pure to drop to $250 a better choice than getting Moto G4 for $200?
Jordan Hughes
Naked browser is quite cool desu senpai
Jackson Gutierrez
RS S
Ryan Edwards
Looks like I'm going to get the LG G5, i don't know if there is any phone that is as powerful and affordable. It's a shame about my price range desu because I really wanted the LG V20
Lincoln Lee
Eh I like miui enough. So my setup is miui developer rom with radon kernel for fast charging and Xposed. Working perfectly as intended.
Mason Hill
Lightning is lightweight as fuck. Very nice and load fast.
Oliver Murphy
If you're willing to put up with an ugly interface try naked browser, I honestly haven't found a better browser than firefox, the rest are either too bloated, an eyesore, full of ads, is chrome or just sucks, FF has all those plugins you can use, syncs with desktop version and is pretty fast.
Aiden Gray
>BOOTLOOP Imagine needing to use your phone at the most important time and having it start bootlooping over and over.
Asher Rodriguez
What model dude? I was gloating about the G5 I got but it has screen burn in. If you get one make sure it's a H850 and it's serial number starts with 609 or 610 meaning 2016/09 or 2016/10....
Some people are lucky on 605s and later. It's a gamble...
Good phone though. Good luck finding one for t-mobile though without the burn. I think the bootlooping only happens from people here who drop their phones constantly with greasy dorito fingers.
Brayden Diaz
I'm in canada so I'm going with Wind, the model they have is LG H831, should I still get this?
Jace Sanchez
Why was it a disaster?
Dylan Bell
firefox crashes a lot and drains your battery like a whore
Nicholas Bennett
naked is basically stripped down stock browser
might as well use stock
Mason Flores
Ok guys I have two phones tell me which one I should get
>LG G5 >Carrier - Wind Mobile >plan - Wintab +boost, $60/month >I only pay $100 upfront for the phone
Or
>HTC 10 >Carrier - Bell >Plan - (minimum $80/month on a 2 year plan) idk yet I'll have to go there tomorrow and plan that out >I only pay $100 upfront
I'm getting one of these on Monday. I understand the risk of the G5 but I really want a LG phone right now, they have excellent power and their designs are range from interesting to beautiful. I've always been an HTC fanboy, every smartphone I've owned so far has been HTC and I'm ready to jump back in.
the choice is all yours /spg/ and it'll probably be the final choice after this.
Ethan Powell
What is the BlackBerry dtek 60 like? Does anyone have one, and is it a decent purchase?
Xavier Ramirez
What is the best smartphone under $150 beside Redmi Note 3 Pro? Thingking of buying Moto E3 but the CPU and Camera is so bad, but what can i expect from below $150 anyway
