Mi max 64gb or HongMi note 4 64gb? uk with 3 network
James James
OP3(T) vs Nexus 6p. I can't decide what to get. 6p is stock (coming from Nexus 6, which I love), but the OP3(T) runs close near stock and has this year's specs. Thoughts?
Also, my phone is broke. Will the OP3(T) ship to me this week?
Nathaniel Scott
Thoughts on this phone?
Christopher Jones
Repost of Why isn't Nexus 5X getting cheaper?
It's getting more expensive, why is this happening to me and who can I blame?
Jaxon Adams
OP3T. The 6P isn't shit though but with the OP3T you'll get modern specs at the same price or even cheaper, depending on where you live.
The OP3T won't be in stock in a week though, and shipping may take up to 3 weeks.
Kevin Wright
I would get a 5x but the 2gb ram is painful to think about. Does that not bother you?
Charles Reed
>I would get a 5x but the 2gb ram is painful to think about. Does that not bother you? Why would I need more?
Grayson Howard
From what I've read the 2gb sometimes gets slowed down when multitasking. For instance, the only time this would worry me is when I'm driving and streaming music and using my GPS, which I do a lot. It may be frustrating to have stutters at those times. That's what worries me at least. If it wasn't for the 2gb I would buy a 5x right now.

How is CM14.1 so far? Daily driver yet?
Matthew Gutierrez
Does anybody know if FiLMiC Pro works with the LG G5?
It's my understanding that the default camera app does not have manual control for video (unlike the LG V20), but can I force manual control in another app?
I need a hundred~ dollar android. I'm in the US and with AT&T. I was looking at the second gen moto E since it recently got marshmallow and has a smaller display.
Any recommendations to top this? I really only use my phone for web browsing, calls, SMS and music, though I prefer a little room for customization (basic icon packs, shit like that). I hate large display phones and don't use any of their features for the most part.
Andrew Sanchez
Clover.
OP3T.
There are still Nexus 5 users who are purchasing it to retain its markup. Otherwise, the price has dropped but only marginally.
Daily driver material, yes. Very minor bugs.
>Purchased an OPO in 2014 >Went on a ROM frenzy for almost two years thanks to OPO's robust development community >Settled with Sultan's work because it overextended the life of my phone >CM14 support, development and ROM continuity incoming >June 2017 will mark three years and no reason to upgrade from this phone
Pros: >Great build; dropped it a few times without a case and there's no physical damage >64GB standard storage, 3GB standard RAM - more than enough >Probably has one of the best ROM development teams in the smartphone world
Cons: >3000 mAh battery, I can feel the affects but only marginally thanks to my ROM >No mSD >No removable battery >Camera is decent, terrible in low light (Sultan's CM13 fixes this but only marginally)
Mason Turner
Looking for a ~$200 phone. Needs to be on verizon,rootable and xpose framework needs to be usable
Ian Ortiz
>The OP3T won't be in stock in a week though, and shipping may take up to 3 weeks. Even if I'm at midnight trying to be one of the first to get it?
Cameron Jones
Quick, Axon 7 or Mi5s?
Cameron Sullivan
>$100 >Moto E second gen It was $10 last year around this time. You can probably aim higher for that much these days.
FM tuner is nice, no camera flash/flashlight is not nice. And it's a lot heavier and thicker than other phones in this class.
John Jones
Forgot to mention, the Mi5s is $330 and the Axon 7 is $400.
Easton Garcia
Mi5s.
Moto G4.
Blu R1 HD. yes it's a chinese botnet who cares. they know everything about you already anyway.
Zachary Campbell
Well, you might be lucky then. You should definitely go for it.
Michael Parker
I plan on finally replacing my old Galaxy 3S and I am planning to invest 300-400€ for a new phone.
Currently im looking at the One Plus 3 & One Plus 3T but I keep on reading that the devs are a little shit and keep on telling little lies that the people at XDA apparently do not like.
What other phones in that price range are recommendable? Or should I just fuck the haters and get the OP3 or OP3T?
Nathan Clark
Thanks. How long does the Mi5s usually take to ship to France?
Luis Cook
I'm currently on a nexus 4, on its last legs.
I can get a new oneplus3T or a refurbished iPhone 6S for virtually the same price. I want something I can use comfortably for a couple of years, confident that it will get updated and meet my needs.
Which should I get? Or is there anything else I should look at?
Leo Gonzalez
Yeah OP3T is your safest bet.
Depends on the shop. you should order from TopOne on aliexpress or Honorbuy/Flosmall as they have EU shipping protection. if you don't pay for DHL or EMS it can take weeks.
I can ship to a US PO box, if that makes customs any easier.
Jonathan Hill
Just check the bands the OP3 supports on their website then look at the bands your provider uses
Ryan Powell
Aren't you in France? kek. anyway yeah US has no customs up to $800 so you can ship it quickly.
Asher Carter
I like the fact that an android is basically a pocket computer but the sensible me thinks an iPhone will be usable a lot longer or have resale value in a year. I'll be stuck with ROMs and not being able to use android pay on the oneplus.
Gabriel Torres
I'm in France but I have a US address that ships here fast. Who's the best seller in that case?
Thomas Baker
>android pay People actually use this..?
Michael Myers
The "sensible you" is a fucking retard, or at least uninformed. Also, all smartphones are pocket computers, that's the point.
Jeremiah Reyes
There are a ton of offers and discounts if you do.
Explain
William Gutierrez
>an iPhone will be usable a lot longer iOS updates are made to slowly grind out out-of date hardware, just like Nvidia drivers. >resale value lol
Ryder Fisher
Oh. in that case the cheapest you can find DHL/EMS/expedited shipping. otherwise free shipping takes a really long time. banggood is alright.
Josiah Brooks
You're guaranteed updates for 5 years from the last date of sale?
Germanon bought some time ago and shilled it here, said he liked it after flashing RR.
Ayden Russell
What's your point?
Caleb Rogers
lel 20 is much more likely. shipping from China is a pain. see /csg/, this shit can take ages. that's why DHL from topone or HKG is better, it arrives fast and you avoid customs.
Nicholas Gray
Android guarantee nothing except for nexus/pixel, and then there's only 2 years from the date of release.
with HKG you must use "Seller's Shipping Method" to avoid taxes, not DHL sorry, DHL is for topone so be careful. bundle saves you time waiting for accessories later.
Xavier Rivera
And how are you reaching that conclusion? Like I said, the updates gimp the device.
Chase Thompson
Seller's shipping method is unavailable right now, so I guess I'll go with the Top One with DHL. Is the Nillkin hard case any good?
Mm no idea but looks bulky AF. what's the purpose of buying a slim phone if you put a huge ass case on it m8?
Ayden Lopez
I don't really care about the slim factor, just phone quality. Guess I'll go for the bundle with the Nillkin case. Thanks for all your help, user.
Justin Kelly
You can refuse updates as they are offered if any performance issues are not worth the new functionality and support. Better that than not even being offered the support.
Evan Diaz
If the phone works perfectly to begin with, why would an extra 2-3 years of updates matter? And why would that add resale value?
Sebastian Russell
Sure thing. don't forget to unlock the bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu rom on it when you get it(if you don't like the chinese rom).
Chase Cook
Shit I don't know how to do either of those things. Is there a guide? Where can I get the ROM?
Mason Kelly
What is the best smartphone and why is it the LG G3
Dominic Nelson
You can stay on chinese rom if you want, iirc mi5s doesn't have global rom with more languages. xiaomi.eu makes a community rom that is much better without all the bloat.
That's something you need to do with most Xiaomi phones.
Samuel King
Extended manufacturer support lengthens the usable lifetime of the device and helps it retain its perceived/real value to potential buyers. That doesn't seem too complicated.
Thomas Perez
Clearly don't own an iPhone cause that dumb shit will pop up every two seconds saying update and you press cancel only to have it tell you to update again
Jason Foster
Great, looks like I'm all set. Thanks again, I can't wait to have a phone that doesn't crash.
Joseph Fisher
Actually I do, and I've deferred updates for weeks before.
Did you already download the damn thing?
Logan Ramirez
They always come back whether its weeks or days or minutes. There annoying and force normies (everyone who owns an iPhone) to update. Everyone of my friends who have updated to iOS 10 including me knows it runs like garbage on them
Jackson Campbell
On what?
The 5s I use is running it with zero problems or performance issues. It's not even my main phone, it's the one I use for work, but I actually put off downloading 10.0 for about 2 weeks with no nags after the first notice.
Ryan Walker
If you're so sure that iPhones are the best, why are you even here asking?
Dominic Johnson
>It's not even my main phone
Christopher Gonzalez
I'm a different user than whoever is upthread
lol, so what? Note 3 for me, free iPhone 5s with unlimited data through work, I'm ok with that.
Adam Bailey
So you just sort of jumped in to shill?
Tyler Perry
If its not your main phone you cannot comment on performance issues. You are not using it for hours on end downloading, surfing, whatever. Literally go shill anywhere but here
Oliver Moore
>unapproved facts are unwelcome >S H I L L Yeah, I love this board less than you guys do
Jonathan Howard
How is the Iuni i1? I know that the society closed but it costs nothing.
Mason Hughes
You actively dislike this board
Grayson Thomas
>literally who? It's pure shit.
Joseph Cox
how brainwashed are you if you thinks it needs more than 512 MB to do that? 1gb of ram is enough for many use cases (aka you are not a retarded phone gamer) and 2gb is perfect
Julian Turner
I wouldn't say its brainwashing as much as considering how ram helps with multitasking, and 2gb is not very much. Granted, its probably getting cpu bound from the 808, but either way.
Jose Rivera
android is literally the worst system in the world, just like chrome it eats all the ram it can get its hands on therefore more wam = better experience
Jacob Fisher
Any way to disable the weather thing in MIUI 8? Don't know who designed this but it completely ruins the aesthetics
Evan Hall
System app. you can't.
Henry Russell
flashing cm would be the fastest way to get rid of it 2bh
Carter Gutierrez
That's bad news, my backup's in MIUI only. It would've been fine if they had left it like it was in MIUI 7 but they just had to go and make the notification color dependent on the weather regardless of what the theme is. Who the fuck thought this was ok
Luis Perez
So is there a way for me to unlock an RNP3 bootloader without emailing China about it? I'm looking to eventually flash cm onto it but don't think I know exactly what I'm doing yet. Bit new to android if it wasn't obvious.
Finally got my Axon 7 in the mail today, hoping to replace my iPhone 6 with it.
Pros: -great screen -well built -seems very quick
Cons: -Android (mostly on me though since I haven't used it since froyo)
Nathan Rodriguez
Looking for a phone to replace my iphone 6
basically just for facebook and youtube
is p9 lite solid choice for this?
Dominic Roberts
Review time, I just bought a Moto G4 Play for 100 freedom dollars and it's much better than the G4 and G4 Plus (yes I own both, G4 was a gift, the other I got off eBay but found it too big to use comfortably with one hand).
It has a shittier snapdragon and a quadcore but doesn't overheat or stutter on games or while watching 1080p anime mkv on mx player pro, performance on games doesn't differ between it and the 3GB ram G4+ either (tested dead space, san andreas, asphalt 8, modern combat 4 and dead trigger at max settings with no lag).
The phone is a bit smaller (5'' 720p IPS LCD 294 ppi) but it doesn't look any different from the G4, just size and resolution.
The camera quality is the same as the G4 even though it's 8 megapixels, however it's still only okay, I suggest a sony phone if you want the best selfies and stuff.
Battery isn't that much smaller, 2800 mAh vs 3000 mAh, supports quick/turbo charge, a nice feature since my G4+ came with the charger, goes from 0 to 100 in an hour and half, SoT averages a good 6 hours, more than the G4+ (most likely because of the smaller resolution).
2 GB ram, just enough for daily use and fair for its price, internal storage is 16 GB that goes up to 256 GB with SD card (sim+SD or two sims).
Supports just about every band since it's sold everywhere, every model is dual sim if you care about that.
Android is stock marshmallow soon to be nougat, only foreign app is a single moto app (no idea what it does), my only complaint (not really a complaint but it may be troublesome for other people) is that it apparently doesn't have a stock gallery/music/video player/launcher besides google apps, like I said not a problem since I use poweramp, MX, nova and leafpic.
Internet reviews and forums also mention it's the best of the G4 family because it doesn't overheat or has screen burn-in issues due to being manufactured later.
8/10 I'd definitely recommend if you want something small, good and cheap but don't want or can't import.
Jonathan Cruz
Is leaving your phone charging overnight bad for the battery?
