Best current android phone?
Considering the Galaxy S7, or the LG V20.

V20. Removable battery > everything else.

First for OPO.

>shit build quality

>bootloops

What about the Sony Xperia X compact ? anyone have one ?

v20 I have this phone and it is beautiful all througout

Anyone have any idea why my phone is now taking ages to charge? Started happening in the last couple of days, and I don't recall having done anything special before it.
It says it will take 9 hours to charge from 44% at the moment.

how ass is the build quality?

Current (overall) best is The Pixel, followed very closely by the S7 variants.

Using it more during a charge, or charging it through your computer vs power outlets can change the time it takes to fully charge. Or perhaps a shitty app.

build quality is great
fells sturdy as hell even though it has a removal back
the plastic on top and bottom isn't even felt.
Only problem is it's a little light
Overall feels premium as fuck

>Pixel
>No expandable storage
BAHAHAHA

I found a S7 Edge 32gb for £460 on sale, gotta say that was a fast grab for me and is on the way.

I'm always charging through the outlet, I have also tried different chargers. The only app I have installed recently is Yahoo Weather.
You think fully charging it then completely draining it would help?

i forget you need so much storage for your kiddie porn

What is the battery monitor looking like, what is using so much of it?
Also make sure to search your phone model and see if others are having the same exact problem.

It's also really easy to replace the screen.

youtube.com/watch?v=KNgSDmkn96c

Thankfully none of those supersede battery life.

I like my Lumia 650.

Should I upgrade to a 950?

I bought a pixel. I love this phone.

Any good current phones with solid single battery performance that aren't overloaded with bloatware/locked to hell?

V20 is tempting but battery life seems poor.

The pixel

Is it as botnet as it sounds?

YES. Dont buy it. Trash.
ATLEAST buy an s7

It's slightly less botnet than other Android phones, because it only comes with Google's botnet, while other phones come with manufacturer and provider botnets plus Google's.

But it ships unlocked and with stock Android.

The benefit of a removable battery is Anker and ZeroLemon producing higher mAh batteries, so just wait it out. As for bloat, root will solve that issue.

Dis nigga lyin hard

T-mobile never fucking has the V20 in stock. I want to give them my Note 7 already. They forced the 60 percent battery life update on me while I was sleeping and now I get a pop up every time I unlock the phone.

I'll have to see if they can just order one.

>upgrading to a new phone after 3 months
u rich or sumin?

It's fucking google botnet super edition because the new assistant ensures they listen and record everything you say even when the screen is off. Plus all the other shit getting integrated just to their liking.

It's a bomb and they're making it more of a pain to use to force me to return it for a refund because of the recalls.

I should have just used package disabler to stop the update but I didn't think I'd still have the phone. If the recall didn't happen I would be keeping this phone forever. Best phone I've owned so far.

No, buy android, lumias are dead.

Should i wait for the galaxy s8

> 5.7" and 6.2"
No.

s7 edge or v20

S7E. anything but LG.

if you have the 650 not really. i'd keep the 650 and use until it breaks, its a fucking beautiful phone, very nice screen too.

just because you don't like big phones doesn't mean he can't ya fucking faget

Battery monitor looks normal. The drainage time is also as usual, only the charging time is affected, which I feel is even weirder. If the battery emptied really quickly I would've just assumed it had kicked the bucket, but it's working normally except for the long charging time.

Anyone running the S7 nougat beta able to find the lock screen effects setting? The default zoom transition is terrible.

no one likes big niggery phones

that's disgusting man, couldn't you just say he needs it to save his numerous episodes of the big bang theory? 'cause, you know, that would still be a pretty big fucking insult. why do people watch that show again?

Is the Moto G Play the best non-chink phone in the $70-$140 price range? Need to know as a present for a family member.

My Op3 is finally arriving tomorrow to replace my nexus 4. Should I root it immediately (mostly for adaway) or just leave it as it is famiglia?

if nobody liked them then they would have ceased to exist in 2011 when the original galaxy note was launched, you smelly butt chicken.

Yeah, although it's a chinkphone in disguise.

I actually don't mind chink phones, but I just don't want to worry about LTE coverage and such.

That's true, but one of my only complaints about it is the low resolution. I can see individual pixels. Not optimal for porn. Meanwhile, the 950 is a 1440p OLED.

battery is great I have no problem with it

Zte Axon 7 vs. OnePlus 3?

Alright, haven't visited /spg/ in a good 2-3 years.

Finally got myself an embedded systems job, and want to pick up a new phone. Had the m8 for a couple years, and was looking at One+. Friend got the One+3 and looked pretty good, and just saw the twitter on the OP.

Is now a good time to get the One+3?

fuck you man.

No, it's discontinued and out of stock everywhere.
Just get the OP3T when it's out.

MORE HYPE FOR REDMI 4 PRO

>FIVE fucking inches, none of this 5.5 meme shit
>1080p
>snap 625
>gyro, fingerprint, etc

Warning to Redmi 4 gold/silver buyers (photos faked, black borders)
reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5c247v/warning_to_redmi_4_goldsilver_buyers_photos_faked/

69% screen to body ratio, roughly same as the Pixlel. huge ugly bezels. 160g for 5" phone is heavy. looks absolutely awful. Xiaomi fucked up.

you good?

or dont be a pansy ass applegaggot and just buy the black one

Nuts, yeah I just checked the website.
Know a good place to follow development on the op3t?

Zuk Z2 vs RN3P?

Leeko or nothin baby

Well it's being released November 15, gsmarena.com
phonearena.com

will cover it.

Zuk if you prefer smaller phones, RN3P if big ones.

sorry brother, i tried to reply to that lumia dude and tried doing so 5 times to no avail. i actually managed to tell you to go fuck yourself at the first try, proving that Sup Forums either really hates microsoft phones or that you fucked moot's gf so he probably doesn't like you very much.

(in case you didnt get it, my post to you was a test)

Is battery life similar between the two? And is the lack of quickcharge on the RN3P noticeable?

Mi5 3/64 black glass or Mi5s 3/64 silver?
They are basically the same price.

Where are all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales for the good phone?
I want to get an Axon 7.
Why is it that only SamShit and iPhones are on sale?

Pixel or V20? or is there a better phone in the US?

Pixel. It's the best.

nexus 6 7.1 update when

Pixel is GARBAGE DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE SHILL KEKS. Either V20 or s7e. I recommend s7e

Should I go for the s7e right now or wait for the s8? Dying to get a phone with a better battery life than mine and I don't know if I want to wait another 5 or 6 months?

What's the best phone for 200 dollars? The moto G?

NBo worries, I have a microsoft phone and it is shit which is why I'm asking if any of you can recommend to me either the zte axon 7 (that i just pulled the trigger on) or the oneplus 3

What's the best camera I can buy in a smartphone? Regardless of platform?

V20. Don't fall for bootloop myths. Nothing you can't fix on your own.

Thanks, been reading up more on it and while I don't mind the small price increase, in general how risky is it to buy products on the release date?

Should I generally wait around for awhile to see if it there are any common complaints or just go ahead and bite the bullet and pick it up.

What's the best option for a mobile carrier in the US?
On Verizon now with a shitty 2 year contract and I could switch to the prepaid one which is only like 5 bucks cheaper a month. Was looking at T-Mobile and it seemed to have the same price as the prepaid Verizon.

Nobody can answer that but you

Now that Lumias are dead is there anything that can compete in that pricerange? They had some really nice phones under $50 prepaid. I haven't seen any Andriods under $150 with the same features. Like Gorilla glass OLED screens and good cameras.

Guys I'm new to chink stuff but I was looking into buying a xiaomi phone. Which models are good? I hear the most about the redmi note 3 pro and the 4 but I don't know the difference between any of them really, it's all really jumbled.

That redmi 4 prime in the OP looks super neat though, any place that sells it online?

I'm kinda really lost, if anyone could give me the basics or point me towards a place to learn, I'd be grateful

Is there a predicted release range for it?

3-6 months

I've got a RN3P on the way from Gearbest, it comes with a shitty shop ROM.

What's best to do when it arrives?

Nice botnet

Redmi Note 3 prah

is that pro or pro prime? Also any sellers on aliexpress or other places that you might rec me?

Flash global rom.
youtube.com/watch?v=NNhdQT9Ivu0&list=PLaPvcEA8BA-J9_3mmzhwE5TGRU53q3oux&index=3


RN3P unless you prefer 5" in which case Redmi 4 Prime.

kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-4-pro
pick one.

okay so here's where I get a bit confused: you recommended me the 4 prime if I liked 5'' but the link you gave me says 4 pro. Are these the same? Xiaomi's mumbo jumbo loses me so fast it's not even funny

Where all the Black Friday deals at?

lumias aren't dead at all, I just got a 640 XL like 2 weeks ago and its fucking beautiful. well i mean they are pretty dead, but W10M is very stable at the moment, I got like three updates in 2 weeks and they're still avaliable for purchase. so...yeah, get one.

how often do you guys replace your phone?

Yeah it's the same, some call it pro, some call it prime. if you see SD625 it's it.
The 4A is SD425
The 4(non pro/prime) is SD430.

Is no lte support for some Chinese phones noticeable in day to day usage?

Windows Phone died for me the day the alarm clock app failed to work and made me late for work for unknown reasons.

An alarm clock app was stable in the earliest iterations of the computing machine. Fucking that up is a disaster.

They start posting announcements next week.

Okay, thank you. This so confusing. The prices are all different from those in the wiki or in the OPs, is this because of the pre 11.11 sale? Should I wait until tomorrow to price check? I went to chnprice and a lot of the have price spikes that are a day old or so.

in the past year ive used
s6
6p
g4
z5
6s

two years MINIMUM.

5 years or so is when the previous phone starts actually feeling somewhat outdated.

Wasting your money. Natural selection will take place eventually

I'm just gonna ask one last time, to help make up my mind.

Is the warranty-less Exynos international version of the S7 worth more than getting a warranty guaranteed Snapdragon domestic version of the S7?

I'm either going to order the Exynos version tonight, or go to T-Mobile and get the bloatware Snapdragon version tomorrow.

If I ever needed Sup Forums's hot opinions, I would need them now.
