Thinking of getting my very first chinkphone. My last two phones were a Moto G and a Samsung Galaxy Rugby pro. I'm ready for something much, much better. At the moment I'm with AT&T but I'm thinking of switching to Verizon. I've read the sticky, done a little research, and I think I know what I want, but I want to hear what you Sup Forumsuys recommend before I buy anything.
My frontrunners right now are the Xiaomi Mi5 and the Redmi Note 4. Is Xiaomi really memefone or are they decent? Is there anything else I should consider?
Angel Long
Any HTC10 users here use a custom ROM? How the fuck do I update firmware myself? Please help
Lincoln Phillips
Is there or on /vg any place, where discuss mobile games like su0.ru/TpOt ?
Robert Rivera
>Xiaomi Mi5 and the Redmi Note 4 None of them will work in the USA. not on AT&T and definitely not on Verizon.
The RN3P will sorta work on AT&T with B2 and B4 but that's about it.
Oliver Cooper
RN3P or LeEco Le 2? The Leeco is around $130.
Nolan Howard
Any Oneplus 3/3T users in here? Whats the best screen protector to get? Also case if you have one
Carson Watson
RN3P no doubt. SD slot, 3.5mm jack and MiUI>EUI.
Isaac Brooks
How do you like your OP3T(assuming you have one since you're looking for a screen protector)? I have my eyes on it. Everything seems good except for the reported screen latency and poor wifi connectivity.
Carson Nelson
what's the current state of xiaomi.eu roms ? I'm to finally unlock my bootloader today, but I like MIUI so i'd like to try xiaomi.eu first.
rn3p 2/16gb that is
Joseph Bailey
It's a bit less fucky than official miui but still a ram hog. It's definitely worth a try if you like miui but want a bit less chink botnet in it.
Josiah Green
Where does Sup Forums buy their Redmi's?
Charles Sanchez
thanks, some more free ram for thew 2gb versoin would be nice :)
Elijah Cook
LeEco has shit software. Same as ZUK, avoid until you can get official CM on them.
Andrew Murphy
Not him, but I have a OP3, and it's pretty good. Haven't noticed any screen latency, and WiFi seems to work well everywhere except on my home network, but that's mostly because of our shitty ISP-provided router. Also you can install Kali Nethunter on it which is pretty cool
Owen Watson
Any news on the Zuk Z3? Pls no shill answers.
Leo Rogers
So what are the best specs to price phones out now?
Julian Rogers
Is there an android app that can make periodic backups of specific folders on my phone?
Benjamin Barnes
Homtom HT7 pro vs Oukitel k4000 go
Xavier Russell
Is the Zefone 3 any good? I have a Moto X 2014 and just found out I will be gifted a Zenfone 3 from my job.
Isaiah Edwards
lg v10 900 Good choice for the price range?
Jayden Harris
I've got a 3.5 year old galaxy s4 with cm13 on it that does what I need it to do, except camera is a bit sub par. Feeling that I want to upgrade before it inevitably dies, however.
If you were me, would you wait until the next batch of 2017 phones before you upgrade, or go with what's already been released?
(Looking at Op3t Honor 8 and HTC 10)
Wyatt Gonzalez
HT17 Pro. 7 a shit.
Gabriel Carter
Pretty sure at least RN3P gets LTE on T-Mobile
Julian Wright
Wait for MWC 2017.
Jace Cox
Unless your phone is already starting to shit the bed, wait for the 2017 annoucements. At the very least you'll get some nice discount in last year's flagships
Leo Allen
Just bought an OP3T and starting to feel buyer's remorse. For its price I haven't felt the wow factor.
Or maybe after 2 years with MIUI I'm just too used with its workflow. Missing my dl speed notification, quick access to brightness slider, not using drawers, and starting to notice the difference between 441ppi and 401ppi.
The phase will pass I guess.
Levi Bailey
HTC 10 NOUGAT IN EUROPE WHEN
Julian Cox
Thanks y'all
Carter Green
Did you need to pay customs or VAT?
Carter Gomez
Really? Why is it better than 7? They look pretty much the same
Jonathan Murphy
MT6737 1.3Ghz+Android 6.0 vs. MT6735 1.0Ghz+Android 5.1.
Gavin Rogers
Nice thanks I wonder why no one put it in under 100$ guide
Noah Stewart
It hasn't been updated in a while and /csg/ won't let anyone edit it.
Liam Miller
So is redmi note 4 good? With mediatek and shit instead of snapdragon.
Jeremiah Moore
no. RN3P is better.
Angel Perry
>Missing my dl speed notification There's apps and a xposed module for that, search "network speed indicator"
>quick access to brightness slider This should be in the quick settings on the notification bar, if not then there's an setting to put it back. also on cm13 you can change brightness by sliding your finger on the status bar
>not using drawers Just put your apps on the home screen or download a launcher without an app drawer
>and starting to notice the difference between 441ppi and 401ppi. You can always change the display density
Jose Diaz
Why hasn't a single person here or on /csg/ bought a redmi 4A yet? Specs seem fine for a $80-90 phone
Dominic Hernandez
I'll buy it if its better than H17 pro
Austin Miller
can i install cyanogenmod in korean version note 4? (SM-N916L) i'm googling some shit and only saw US version information stock marshmallow firmware anyway > +i'm worry about fuck up
After all my years of buying android phones i can say this with certainty. If it's not a samsung product don't buy it. Samsung is the only manufacturer that actually makes decent budget phones.
LG and Motorolla are SHIT. Avoid them at all costs.
Some ZTE's are ok though.
John Long
My Blade 3 is still alive since the release day Its shit, but ZTE has quality phones
Nicholas Evans
Anyone? Anything?
Nathaniel Harris
FolderSync Dropsync
Matthew Jones
>Samsung >better than anything
Adrian Hill
>Samsung >Budget >Decent You wot m8?
Touchjizz works like fucking shit even on their high end stuff, imagine how bad it is in their budget phones.
Mason Sanders
Can they simple make a copy onto an SD card, though?
Nicholas Wood
I've had a Samsung s4 mini since it came out early 2013.
Shit's been bitching till this summer
Dropped it at least once a day and the screen cracked just a little bit on a corner after 2 years of abuse. And it's still functional, albeit not the fastest
Since september however the usb and jack ports are loose and shit unplugs at the slightest movement, only complain I have, thats why I wanna change
I just don't want a flagship and the A5, seems subpar
So i'm considering the LG G5...
Nicholas Carter
Best way to control app permissions? Have a chink root on 5.1 but I don't want it interfacing with the network at all.
AFWall+ (firewall, root) doesn't seem to be the answer or I have configured incorrectly. Thought I could just nuke the network access permissions.
Chase Evans
that was a good phone
Kayden Howard
Well shit. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'm stuck with Samsung bloatphones.
Logan Jackson
I'm very new to android and I assume it's capable of playing all sorts of video files like .mkv unlike my old phone.
What's the best software for this sort of use? I haven't rooted it and I probably won't any time soon, I'm too old to get excited about fiddling with shit and just stick to comfy vanilla so preferably something in the google store.
Robert Stewart
MX Player or VLC.
Joshua Wood
walmart is selling samsung galaxy S5 straight talk phones for only 200$, but it only has android 4.4. If I buy one how can I update it to android 6?
Camden Campbell
AFWall+ should work for this. You set the firewall mode to 'Allow selected', tick the apps that should have internet access and then tap 'Save' and 'Enable firewall'.
Michael Ortiz
Why would you but that old POS anyway? get a Moto G4 that already has Nougat.
Jayden Perry
it's only 200$. what's bad about it?
Mason Roberts
It's an old, laggy, deprecated piece of trash.
James Edwards
Know of any way to get a hold of a 3T by xmas? Or are we not seeing it until 2017?
Ian Hernandez
I heard that best buy will update phones but I don't know it that's true.
Lincoln Roberts
I'm still using a S3 and don't have any problems. It's not laggy at all
Levi Morales
>tfw you betray stallman and convert to the chink botnet
wew, sorry rich, I just can't go back to living without 1080p
Luke Richardson
Just got a Moto G4 Plus for my dad. Breddy gud phone for its price, the fingerprint sensor is faster than my 6P's, everything is smooth as fuck and the camera is pretty decent.
Camden Hughes
bought mi max 32gb for 250 jewros
did i fuck up? works fine so far
Easton Long
>TFW no stable custom ROMs for Blu R1 HD It was almost worth $60 and a bit of adware removal.
Wyatt Parker
I ordered the tempered glass protector from OnePlus as part of the "essentials" bundle. It came preinstalled when I unboxed the phone too and so far it's held up beautifully.
Angel Thompson
yea blu phones have no roms at all for some reason
>250 jewels How so expensive? Cheapest price for 3gb/32gb Mi Max is 170€ according to kimovil.com
Michael Turner
Tried the CM 14.1 nightlies yet?
Carson Roberts
wtf
Jose Cook
What do you all think about the Huawei Nova Plus?
Owen Reyes
serb trash
when i tell people how much i paid they say "wew so cheap"
Jackson Barnes
>tfw there's still some bugs on CM14.1 for the Redmi Note 3 Pro I miss how bugless ROMs were on my Nexus 5
>tfw I installed a 7.0 ROM the second day Nougat was released (but not for my Nexus 5) >tfw pretty much everything worked
At least CM13 works fine
Jonathan Reyes
Isn't the front fingerprint sensor weird? It's like a broken home button
Matthew Phillips
I cant train my google voice model, because whenever i say "OK, Google" to train it, Google activates again. Pls halp?
Aaron Scott
It is pretty weird but my dad's gotten used to it fairly quickly.
Samuel Morales
I'm looking at chinkphones around 200 Canadian pesos. I've been considering these phones: Redmi 3S Ulefone Power
Things I want in a phone: SD card Headphone jack 3GB RAM Long battery life
Hunter Brown
delet this
Dominic Allen
Redmi Note 3 Pro tbqh f@m
Brayden Evans
Dont buy the MTK version. It sucks. LIke really bad. At least for tinkerers.
Asher Thomas
That's why I said Pro
The SD650 version is is colloquially known as the RN3 Pro
Jose Ross
I never messed with any of that
Joseph Kelly
That crackling is the sound of shekels saved by cutting engineering costs! Try to be more understanding!
Isaiah Jackson
lg g4 or samsung j7?
Thomas James
both are shit >LG G4 bootloops
>Galaxy J7 Random samsung mid range phone #43546 there's never going to see an update
also the SD617 is pretty terrible
Hudson Perry
also the G4 has shit battery life
Brayden Green
>bootloops yeah i heard it's a problematic phone but its camera and screen looked neat for its price can you suggest some more smartphones around same price range?
Asher Diaz
Xiaomi Mi5?
Logan Cook
i'm looking for a durable and reliable phone that can be used for long time i don't want to waste my money on chinkshit
Liam Moore
How about a used Galaxy S6 or Xperia Z5?
Nathaniel Bennett
theres a guy selling his used mi5s for $400 canadian. should I get?
>Adware built in out of the box What the fuck senpai.
Owen Turner
Adware version was cheaper. Took 10 minutes to flash the adware free stock ROM and block Amazon updates.
It would have worked out perfectly if there was a working CM ROM.
Angel Nguyen
Should I get the >Google Pixel (regular) >Samsung Galaxy S7 (non-edge) >LG V20 >HTC 10 Currently on AT&T, don't plan to switch just for this. Which one would be my best option?
