My samshit s4 gives me the idea it's going to die soon: I need a ready list of good phones to buy in the case of failure. The recommend phones list in the wiki is too old.

Can someone confirm that the Bq Aquaris X5 Plus has a high noise level on the headphone output?

Why such a low res background?
Lucas James
did I fucked up or do good?
Alexander Cox
I just bought it too, using for a month now and got 0 complaints. Love how fast it is, how fast it charges (completely stopped charging at night, just do it when im showering now) and love the battery life.
havent tried the new android yet but hope stable build of it comes soon.
Jonathan Butler
>completely stopped charging at night, just do it when im showering now That's awesome. Now I'm excited
So is Jewgle discontinuing the Nexus line and going with Pixel only now?
Ian Ramirez
He's most likely selling a brick 3D printed for case and screen protectors manufacturers to have their shit ready for launch.
Dominic Nguyen
Maybe shopped? Screen is off in all other pics
Wyatt Morales
New phone from Ulefone, the Ulefone U008 Pro Specs: -Android 6.0 -5 Inch 1280*720 Display -MT6737 Quad-core 1.3GHz -2GB RAM 16GB ROM -3500mAh Battery -2100/1800/2600/900/800MHz (B1/3/7/8/20) LTE
Nah I'm not even thinking about buying it Might try to ask him more details just out of curiosity
Carter Gonzalez
Budget: around 300€ Country: Austria Provider: prepaid SIM Features: android OS (must have or support a gapps free version), decent cam, m-sdhc support, good battery life Size: must fit into the front pocket of my jeans with ease
The only smartphone I owned before was an old Samsung Galaxy-S3, which I was pretty content with (apart from it's age and slightly wacky build quality). Not really a smarthpone enthusiast, I'd probably go for an chink phone myself, but would like to confirm I can install a botnet and gapps-free OS beforehand.

Hey /spg/ I'm currently using a Galaxy S5. Have been for close to 3 years iirc. Anyways, it is getting near the end of its lifespan and I'm starting to keep an eye out for a new phone. Uni student so $100-$200 budget. I've really loved my S5 would upgrading to like an S6 or maybe an older not be a good idea? Honestly, I've considered buying another S5. Any suggestions?
Julian Moore
xD
Dylan Hernandez
Thanks, seems pretty good, I guess I can do without the SD support. Seems like a trend with new phones though.
You can buy the Moto G4 for around €160 if you want the SD slot. it's not as fast as the other two but it's alright.
Josiah Rodriguez
You're in the US? Either Moto G4 (Play), Honor 5X or a used flagship phone. Nextbit Robin is another option, it's still on sale at Amazon.
Mason Thomas
best camera I can get on a phone for under $300?
Is it the mi5?
Christian Martin
what are those must-have android apps that get shilled in their own thread every once in a while? specifically for music listening and podcasts
James Evans
Honor 8 has a much better camera.
Evan Harris
For anyone with a kate, Minz got a great lineageOS already up for use. Pretty solid desu~
Ryan Collins
Is it even worth it to change my nexus 5? The only things I hate are the battery life and that it's beat to shit with a cracked screen but that's on me. The camera is shit too but I don't care because I sink most my money into photography shit anyways. The 20something gbs of storage aren't enough for my music. Moto G4/plus a good upgrade? Other options around the same price group?
Brandon Bailey
Just reminded me that the official CM maintainer for Redmi 3/Pro (ido) also released a preliminary LineageOS ROM while their new servers get up and running:
I've been using it for a day and everything works so far, battery is not as good as MIUI but it's still solid.
Nathan Gutierrez
Battery will never be good as MIUI due to the fact that MIUI is pretty aggressive with battery saving settings by default.
Zachary Lopez
>be oneplus x owner >spend evening out last week >cold is pretty intense >phone battery is full >by the time I get home the li-on battery has been completely depleted >the thing is now completely dead >will not charge at all, will not even show any signs of life plugged in
I have learned two valuable lessons. first, not to buy chink shit. second, not to buy phones without swappable batteries.
Jackson Taylor
Yeah, I know. Still doesn't hurt to warn those not used to how MIUI handles stuff. It's so aggressive with the task freezing that most apps just won't give push notifications unless you're constantly using them, sometimes even after explicitly allowing them to. 8 hours battery life in MIUI is truly insane but I'd rather have 5-6 in CM with a much better user experience.
Mason Perez
Can we expect a new compact phone from sony soon? Or from any other manufacturer out there?
Wyatt Barnes
>swappable batteries
there is only one good phone with removable battery on the market - the V20 and god knows when it starts to bootloop
Oliver Martin
He responded within mins of me asking, gonna compile the pics in a sec
Charles Reyes
you did good, for that price there aren't many better phones
Kayden Robinson
there is always the g4 plus if you want more ram and a fingerprint scanner
Josiah Ward
Is the Sony Xperia X Compact worth it or is it a meme? And yes, I want a smaller phone
Kayden Price
And there it is. Thoughts?
Aiden Howard
yes
Joseph Lee
out of budget, though
Logan Kelly
Will Oneplus restock the OPX? Im looking for a cheap midrange that isnt too big and this one seemed ideal.
Asher Parker
no lmao they are barely even restocking the 3T and that shit is their flagship also the X has been dead for a year now
James King
Recently got the Nougat update on my OP3 and now all Chinese/Korean/Japanese characters show up as squares. How to fix?
Caleb Perry
ayy just upgraded from a moto g to an iphone se, what are some good apps/utilities to put on it?
I'm still getting used to the interface, but on the bright side the phone isn't so big I need two hands to use it
Ayden Cook
Stop being a weaboo shit
Owen Richardson
Yeah, I also support wiping out all other races, but unfortunately that isn't an instant solution to my problem.
Jacob Wright
>ayy >having small hands why are poorfags such a pain?
Aaron Reyes
Alright, /spg/. What's the correct way to charge your phone? is it >0 - 100% or >~30- 40 - 95% or whatever
Jason Clark
G4+ or Robin.
Aiden Gray
Robin is dead. Have fun with your meme phone.
Tyler Baker
My galaxy s7 review after 7 months of use:
Coming from nexus 5x
+I really like it's shape, I like the way it bends into my palm, it's really comfortable (at first). +really nice screen, beautiful colors and very sharp, 5X looks like monochrome next to it +it's taking one of the best photos I've seen on smartphones +battery is good enough, easily lasts 1 day with really heavy use +it has fingerprint reader, I like fingerprint reader +sd card slot, but I don't really care about this +it has the fastest processor on the market +notification led, can be seen from many angles, some phones don't even have one anymore -but it's not enough to drive the laggy shit touchwiz without lag -touchwiz is pretty bad, even with a changed launcher, you have to handle a lot of touchwiz -preinstalled bloatware hell, there's two instances of everything, calendar, email, etc, horrible. Package disabler pro helps a lot, I have 150+ services disabled!!! (maybe that's why I have good battery life) -the curved glass makes using glass screen protectors nearly impossible. I hate that curved glass is a trend now -glass on the back, completely unnecessary. I'd use the phone without a case if it had a good quality polycarbonate back like the nexus 5X and 5 had. -fingerprint reader on the front, uncomfortable to use this way, it's much better on the back -hardware buttons are really bad, the placement of the back button is even worse. The size of the phone doesn't require two hands, but the placement of the back button does, really hard to press with 1 hand. Also I have a lot of accidental presses, both back and recent apps buttons. -microusb, it should have been type-c already -bottom facing speaker, once you go front facing, you never want bottom facing again -home and recent apps button have a huge lag when pressed (2-3 seconds sometimes), making multitasking a pain -doesn't have regular OS updates, still no nougat, this is the flagship of samsung...
This is from the top of my head.
Nathan Cox
Only 7 months late. Awesome, next time you should wait a year.
Elijah Young
Pixel owners are retarded.
Elijah Morris
>implying I have small hands >implying I'm poor there's a difference between normal sized hands and oversized hamfists
seriously tho does anyone have any iphone recommendations?
Hunter Richardson
so apparently ios doesn't auto rotate images reeee
Sebastian Barnes
>I’m not poor Sure, nice thinkpad you got there it’s almost worth $50 with all those fingerprints and grease all over the place.
>reeeee Damn you are a meme master.
Joseph Diaz
Half charges are much better for battery life than full charges.
Isaiah Mitchell
Where do you guys get your pirated APKs from? Unfortunately Android smells of curry and street shitters and so do all the "premium APK" sites. I'd like to download Camera Zoom FX Premium or some other camera with manual controls but I don't want to get AndroAIDS.
Mason Thompson
Any good alternative with similar specs (5" or lower with similar price)?
Jackson Collins
>let's ignore a legitimate question and instead focus on ad hominems
Isaac Moore
>Poorfag complaining for being too stupid to pirate something. It’s called Google Play, asks mommy to let you borrow $5 from her credit card.
Brandon Ramirez
What’s the legitimate question? You being too retarded to get into iOS? Even my retarded sister can do it.
Elijah Nguyen
given that I'm in the EU, what's wrong with the Axon7? sounds too good for the price. Not gonna bother with rooting, just a custom launcher and dick around with some ricing. I want the space and the speakers look sweet making the jump from ios, cant stand that shit anymore
Aiden Rodriguez
well maybe get her to teach you some reading comprehension because I clearly stated the question
or does retardation run in the family
Benjamin Powell
you had incredibly bad luck. Unless you are retarded or missing both arms and an eye you can actually replace the battery on the X. Take 5 minutes to search about it.
Caleb Sullivan
Your 4x4 layout and anime wallpapers isn’t ricing.
Learn to use google.
Well iOS users are most likely retarded like you and her.
Ask reddit about some ultra awesome apps for iPhone, go buddy go.
Jose Myers
Dear anons, could you give me a buying advice? I just dumped my ages old Nexus 4 and I'm in completely new market for a new one. I know shit. Wiki says that Redmi Note 4 would be a good idea, so that is my first choice so far, but I wanna inquire more.
I care about: >At least 5,5 inch FHD display. >Good battery life. >Smooth system. Doesn't need to be frequently updated but that would be definitely a plus >Solid metal body. >At least decent camera
I don't care about: >Removable battery. >Sound speakers. I couldn't give a bigger fuck about those. >All that normie-tier stuff like NFC, wireless charging, being waterproof etc. >I don't feel any need to root this device. >LTE.
I'm in EU. I would like to invest around $400, possibly a bit more. Thank you in advance.
Easton Edwards
>Well iOS users are most likely retarded like you and her. >not wanting a shitty phone with a shitty os that only works half the time is retarded even if I was retarted I'm not autistic enough to go to reddit. you're just going full sour grapes after being stuck with an android
Colton Price
I want to buy a Redmi Note 4. Any point in waiting for a potential Snapdragon version if I like MIUI?
How's Xiaomis record of keeping devices updated with MIUI versions?
Brayden Clark
>implying I watch corean cartoons Google gives contrasting opinions, for example about whether the closing apps in background is solvable, hence I'm asking here
Angel Green
>[Deal Alert] Get a new Moto Z Play for just $399.99 ($50 off), or save an additional $60 for one in mint condition
where's the deal on the additional $60 off? the amazon warehouse only has it for additional $40
Noah Sanchez
I broke the screen on my Nexus 5...Looking for a replacement/backup phone.
>Canada >Koodo >$200 CAD max
Interested in getting something smaller perhaps. Kinda lost when it come to smartphones...everything seems so damn expensive
Isaac Roberts
>Retarted.
It’s no. It has an aggressive background killer that will kill any app even spotify on the background, they have ignored this for months and they don’t release an update or fix. The return policy is shit and people are complaining about hardware issues like speakers and else.
Buy it and return it if you want to try your luck.
John Moore
I have a pixel, I'm sure I'm retard so your correct
Brody Price
I'm curious about that too. Is user who bought X5 Plus for his mother here? Can you check please?
Sebastian Walker
That’s like $20 USD
Jack Diaz
>eng.andrea.20161115 engineering unit?
Grayson Phillips
Already reported it to Google and Lenovo, they are firing the guys working on the project with access to working units.
Feels good to have friends working inside big places.
Not him, but the only choices left are Apple, Microsoft and Blackberry. Fucking hell, why did Nokia have to die?
Justin Bell
wait for the g5 plus it has snapdragon 625 it seems and will most likely have sd card slot
Wyatt Martin
yes I'm aware.
I was thinking of a moto G play... even that is over my budget. $240 on koodos website...Is it any good?
Liam Cooper
redmi note 3 pro.
Nathan Martinez
Still loving my LGV10 for the most part, the only annoying thing is screen retention, which is tempting me to upgrade my phone to either it's big brother the V20, or the Moto Z Force.
I like the 3 camera setup on the V10, and I figure having the tertiary camera on the back would be more useful, and I've grown love the secondary display.
I know I'd miss the headphone jack on the Z, but modularity is awfully intriguing to me, and I also miss having Amoled.
What would you do Sup Forumsentlemen?
Camden Young
>Taps screen >The phone bends and exployes
Nice bootloop choices you got there.
Jaxson Murphy
Lmao both of them have bootloop issues?
Never happened on my V10, how did LG monkey that up?
Luke Perez
why would someone in any engineering unit want to sell a device, one that isn't even worth that much anyways that's some next level desperation
Jordan Powell
All LG devices since the G3 have had bootloop issues. Yes, including the Nexus ones. People were blaming software for a long time, but Google has complete control in software on Nexus devices and they couldn't prevent that shit.
LG is full on cancer, don't take a chance on them regardless of how cheap their phones get.
Christopher Roberts
And I'm guessing it's a similar song on Moto devices?
Shame really, the modular design might of been a meme, but it was intriguing none the less.
I should keep looking. I would go back to Samsung, but their devices have been booming as of late. Also Touchwiz. I would take the exlposions over Touchwiz
