Heres to hoping that the mi 6 won't be shit. Or that xiaomi actually presents a compact phone which would be GOAT.

is there a vr viewer that has the necessary adjustments for the note edge? or should i make my own out of a squirrel some string and a vr viewer?
my problem is that the note edge is 82.8 millimeters wide and 151 millimeters tall, and the note 4 that everyone knows is 10 millimeters slimmer
Juan Garcia
I'm spending $600 on a phone in America to be used exclusively in Europe. I'm leaning towards the LG V20. Good idea?
Kevin Nelson
Hell no, fuckhuge, random bootloops, frail, shit battery duration, LG is a disaster when it comes to smartphones.
Blake Jones
Ok, I ditched the LG devices and came up with one more competitor: Sony Xperia X. Are there any known weaknesses or disadvantages with that? t.
Zachary Morgan
The v20 is indeed xbox hueg but I care most about longevity and removable battery is important. I don't think bootloops are a problem with the v20
Ian Smith
Attention poorfags. As one of you, I would like to share some advice from my last year of phone purchases, returns, etc.
There are two phones I would like to suggest you take a look at.
First, almost all verizon prepaid phones are subsidized at the store(g4 play is $75 for example) but they are also GSM unlocked. I purchased a moto e for $12 NIB and a galaxy s4 for $99 NIB.
The s4 has a micro sd slot, FHD oled, user swapable battery, the cpu is roughly = to the one in the new moto g,. You can get them for like $80 on ebay.
Even though I own both of those phones, the moto e is my daily driver. The resolution is lower but the screen is smaller so it actually looks sharper. Easy as hell to use in one hand. micro sd slot. The CPU is a bit slower but it has never hindered me. The only downside is the camera. That said you will not find a better phone for $30(current ebay price).
Brayden Robinson
>Snapdragon 650 >3GB RAM Expensive RN3P but if you don't wanna mess with roms and shit it's ok.
Jordan Jenkins
moto g4 play 160€ here, still worth it?
Henry Scott
wYes they are, i had bookmarked a video of a japanese dude whose V20 bootlooped in a week and surprise, it got taken down a short while later because of "copyright infringment" aka LG didnt want people to know how shitty their flagships are and how much of a cheap jew they are, so they begged daddy google to delete the evidence, and even before it got deleted there was a guy with a suspicious name in the comments shilling the fucking thing, outright calling you retarded for believing such "rumours" even though the video clearly showed the malfunctioning phone.
Shitty phone, shitty brand, removable batteries are worthless, just dont cuck yourself with a 2800-3000 mAh battery on a UHD phone with shitty software.
Lincoln Gutierrez
Where the fuck do you live? this is more than the Moto G4 32GB.
Benjamin Price
I just want a reliable phone with a devent camera and good audio quality out of the jack.
Chase Baker
Yeah it's alright.
Hudson Ross
how is the v20 faring? im thinking of getting one soon, has the bootloop problem been fixed?
Landon Thomas
>reliable phone check >decent camera check >good audio quality check
It even has FM radio if that's your thing. And it just got the update for Nougat
Jason Thompson
Sounds good. Now I really just have to choose between Windows and Android and read a little bit more about the differences between Samsung and Sony.
Isaac Jones
Finland, moto g4 16GB is around 230€
James Smith
You could have gotten a Galaxy S5 for the price of both of those phones and that phone just can't be beat for a good android experience (provided you root and install a custom rom with optimized kernel), the moto E is also a poor choice when the g4 play is about the same price and is currently the definitive cheap throw-away/stopgap phone with decent specs and software, iirc the moto e1 had 512 of ram with a shitty SD and the moto e2 had 1 GB with a mediatek, the G4 has 2 GB with SD410, horrible but still better.
Dominic Clark
>fm radio
oooo, are there any other phones that have FM radio?
Alexander Sanders
I firmly disagree about the play. The thing here is that verizon prepaid phones are discounted yet still GSM unlocked. At $12 the moto e cannot be beat and the s4 was an impulse buy. I was just suprised to see how cheap they are on ebay. Even though I got one brand new for $100 at $75 used i cant think of a phone that beats it. I don't think so. Check out a US reshipper and order one of the phones or the guy i replied to up there was talking about. Once again, prepaid verizon phones are subsidised yet they are GSM unlocked.
Brandon Bailey
No LG phones at all man, skip on that shit. I had one and it bootlooped, funny because I got a G4 because it was supposed to be good. FUCK ME.
David Clark
Have a relative that got the G4, never thought it was going to bootloop. It did. He got a loaner phone that ended up being the nexus 5x. That bootlooped too.
At this point I just can't recommend any LG phones, regardless of how phenomenal they are on paper. Hopefully rumors of them getting rid of the headphone jack aren't true though.
Logan Ortiz
I need a new phone guys currently in the US. I am on Verizon. As for features I need a headphone jack(can't believe thats a feature now), Removable Storage, Big screen. I don't need these but they are a plus: good battery life, good speakers, decent camera. Budget isn't really a problem. What do y'all recommend?
Aiden Cruz
When will Xiaomi actually come to North America? RN3P is literally the only phone they sell that has band 4 LTE (pretty much all of Canada), and that was almost a mistake. RN4X probably won't have band 4.
Juan Scott
Carrier is Verizon, location is US What are the go to Android phones under 200? Don't care about having a huge screen, but good battery life and performance are pluses.
Oh shit, Verizon. Nevermind. Those won't work for y
David Scott
Are all LG products poorly made pieces of shit or just phones?
also what do you people do with your old phones once you've upgraded? I have an old galaxy S4 and it seems like a waste to just use it as a tv remote

Does having no sd card slot effect your usage much? I'm looking at the zuk but I don't know if I can get along with limited memory.
Nathan Gutierrez
Why not just sell it? Or gift it to someone
Luke Myers
I'm a pleb whom streams most of my music and video, so I don't really notice it at all.

How do I import zuk z2 without paying a lot of customs?
Josiah Edwards
moto z droid or htc 10?
Brandon Powell
UK Looking for Sim-free Decent camera and good battery life, needs to run smoothly. SD card slot. Near stock if possible.
I prefer a smaller phone due to pocket size and ease of use.
I've got like £150 - £300 give or take.
Currently have a Moto g (3rd gen) which I liked but is beginning to show signs of battery deterioration.
Brandon Morris
I ordered mine from Amazon (had a gift card) and did not have to pay customs.
Tyler Wright
Moto g4
Ian James
Yeah I thought about that, its slightly bigger than the moto g and I don't really want to go any bigger if I can help it, unless the specs are WAY better. If I was gonna go in that direction wouldn't you just get the g4 plus?

A little over your budget but maybe Sony Xperia X (Compact)?
Brody Perry
Is there any phone modification (or phone, I may have overlooked one or two) with a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keyboard, like the N900 with a quad or octa core?
No Blackberry Priv, please. That one is vertical.
>tfw your Droid 4 is the equivalent of an evolutionary dead end
I know the Photon Q is a thing, but it needs to be modded to accept a SIM card and it's not that great of an upgrade.
Brody Campbell
. Just hope they release a keyboard motomod
Samuel Cook

Just bought this piece of shit. How do I get the weather on the lock screen?
Robert Johnson
>CyanogenMod is dead >Lineage OS can't into HTTPS

u need to turn on gps always or go to weather/clock settings so it gets ur locatoin from the internet instead
what phone btw
Jackson Scott
opinions in the blackberry priv
Chase Bell
overpriced shit for fedoras, same with the passport, just get a normal android phone and stop being so autistic about muh physical keyboard, if you truly cared about typing better and more comfortably you would be doing it from your desktop or a laptop instead, fucking retard
Luke Stewart
Is there a custom ROM project that tries to provide AOSP as unmodified as possible, without Google spyware?
Alexander James
Unfortunately cyanogenmod without gapps was exactly what you want, but its kill, even resurrection remix comes with unnecesary bloat, lets not even talk about dirty unicorn and other roms.
For example, the RN3P on stock miui used 1.3 GB of ram when idle and everything forcefully closed, with CM13 and gapps it used 850-ish, without gapps it lingered between 560-720.
Caleb Taylor
HTC desire Verizon prepaid. Not gonna activate it. I bought it for music and to have a camera.
Jason Ramirez
You can still download Cyanogenmod. It just won't be updated.
Brody Bell
I think I'll just get a Sony Xperia X Compact and build AOSP myself.
It's commendable how Sony provides not only the complete source code but detailed build instructions:
Yeah but they didnt get to a stable build of CM14.1, marshmallow feels like a beta build, even lollipop felt more solid and was an actual change from KK.
Jace Hughes
well I did ask for opinions thanks user
Dominic Robinson
>not using KK+security patches It's like you love bloat
Aiden Cook
Stock KK is slow as shit mane what the fuck, and it doesnt even come with the little button to open the app drawer unless you use another launcher, pure shit.
Connor Jackson
Moto Z Play seems a good phone
Evan Turner
nigga there are like 10 desires, which one do you have
Daniel Ward
>slow as shit Do you literally have any fact to back that up?
>and it doesnt even come with the little button to open the app drawer unless you use another launcher, pure shit. You can configure your buttons to do whatever the fuck you want, you know.
David Russell
The modular part is 100% meme tho.
Anthony Foster
530
it has a lot of cuckware on it. i enable gps but still nothing. also there is no mention of weather anywhere in the setting/clock. android 6.0.1.
Owen Johnson
ehh, I could see myself using the speaker and battery pack mods, and a gamepad mod would be nice to see (Xperia play style)
Justin Johnson
There are a lot of mods that 'would be nice to see'. Shame we're not getting any of them.
Christopher Allen
>desire 530
How much did you pay for it? the g4 play is more or less the same price and its better, plus stock android and bigger battery.
Never buy budget HTC or samsung phones, let this be a lesson for next time, if you want a throwaway phone buy a chinkphone with a lot of third party support.
Nathan Perez
$34 plus tax
Gabriel King
and by the way the weather doesnt work because it needs to pick up your location from gps, which needs the sim card unless you configure it so it gets the location from a fixed place from the internet, but since you mentioned it doesnt have that option youre fucked
download nova prime and klwp and get to ricing asap, make a better weather/date/clock widget and pair it with a cute anime girl wallpaper on your homescreen, stock widgets are usually shit
Alexander Cruz
Oh it was a good deal then, here the G4 play is around 120 dollars and on black friday it was 100 but it came with a screen protector and some earbuds, i got mine about 2 months ago and it's great.
Carter Barnes
Complete idiot here. I only really care about camera quality and hard drive space. And obviously it's got to be able to browse online. Already have a prepaid SIM.
What should I get for max $150USD?
Joseph Roberts
Bearing in mind I live in Australia.
Gavin Allen
>stock widgets not using a widget. i just wanted it to show on the lock screen. but now that you said that i used it just got it to work. Thanks user!!!!
i know. thats why i bought it. like i said, its for music and a just in case camera.
Adam Kelly
Want a compact phone. Currently using iphone 4s.x compact not available in Aus and z5 is a year and bit old and I want something brand new. Should I just get a pixel?
Austin Campbell
>wants big rom and good camera for 150 burger coins lel
serious answer, probably a refurbished/used LG G2, i heard those don't bootloop, it started with the G3 and got worse since the N5 but reached its apex with the G4.
Grayson Bailey
turn off the gps, its a huge battery drain
Gabriel Jones
i know that. i've been using android since the G1. ironic that 1.xworked better than the shit that is 5 and up.
Jose Evans
ATT Lf $200~ phone my s4 active just broke and I need a new phone. BLU Vivo 5 and J3 seem to fit my needs are these any good?
Benjamin Russell
I just placed my order for a Google Pixel since it was on sale.
$600 Cancuck bucks ($450 USD) for the normal 32GB version.
I'm upgrading from an HTC M7 that I already have a buyer for that's going to pay $160 ($120 USD).
Help me justify my purchase. I hate spending money even on good deals.

>$240/1000 pln budget >must have European bands (poland) >5.2-5.5" >has an cyanogenmod port what should i take?
James Long
Going to second this If you can't get the compact in Australia then your Android mini-phone options are going to be pretty slim. Most chink companies don't focus on mini phones or don't make them at all so they're usually shit with no modding community. At least with the iPhone SE you'll have a few years of updates inline for you and it has better battery life than the actual iPhone flagships while keeping the same performance and great camera.
Brandon Evans
Damn. The Redmi Note 3 Pro probably won't work on my backward-ass country's Optus network (Australia). Is there a similar Chink alternative which would work here?
Ryan Powell
Was looking to buy the Moto G4 off amazon. Is there a reason the version WITHOUT ads is cheaper than the version with currently? Want to make sure I'm not accidentally getting the one with lockscreen cancer
