I'm looking for a new smartphone, unfortunately, all the potential ones for (like HTC10) are almost a year old and the only new one are iphone7 and Pixel. What shall I do? I can't wait for more than 2 weeks, as I'll go for vacation and need something before that.

Best phone to buy for 350€?

BQ Aquaris X5 Plus 3GB RAM / 32GB internal

They're secure when it comes to things like phone theft, and keeping your data contained within your device and shit. But, they cooperate with governments globally (a lot of them blackmailed blackberry lmao), so your shit ain't safe from governments and your privacy is basically nonexistent in that view.
You get me?
HTC is supposed to be announcing their Ocean (HTC 11) sometime soon, probably around MWC or whatever. Same with Sammy, Sony, Blackberry, and whomever the fuck else. MWC is unfortunately near the end of february. Here's what I suggest. Get an iphone or a pixel. Whatever. Use them on your vacation and what have you. When MWC rolls around, and you love one of the announced devices, you can sell the phone (or return it depending on how lenient the return policy is), and get you one.
Saving up another 100 and getting the oneplus.

Is it better than the Z3?
I can switch my Z3 for a phone which costs max. 350€, is there any phone in this price range which is better than the Z3?

ah shit mate I'm psychotic and even though I'm on meds but if I get into a fit I'll end up destroying it, unfortunately my worker thinks getting a smartphone will help fix me - what about a phone with full encryption, cyanogenmod and no gapps? are there any government proof smartphones?
Jack Price
Thanks user! I thought the same, either Pixel or iphone7
Brayden Martinez
CM still has google analytics, so no. You'll probably want to look into replicant.us/ and phones that work with it. copperhead.co is another possible solution, although it's a bit more lenient than replicant is when it comes to proprietary shit. microg.org/ should also help you replace google services in a FOSS way, but again you're ultimately still sending some data (although with microG you can explicitly decide what)
Blackphone is a lot of hype that I don't think is worth it. Realistically all that it's doing for the most part is stuffing your data through their private VPN. If you really wanted to, you could go entirely custom with a nexus or whatever and use a VPN of your own that you trust.
Personally, I'd go iPhone, but that's largely because I don't really use headphones. Either one is a great option though.
Ethan Adams
Can the IMEI number of a phone change/be changed? I got a phone off some probably shady refurbished phone seller on eBay. The device has problems on hardware side and I'm trying to return it. They are asking me what the IMEI number is. When I got the phone I did flash a few different official firmwares on it, but i didn't unlock the bootloader or anything. Will they be able to see that from the IMEI? I can't tell if it's a ploy or they keep such bad track of their inventory.
I didn't write down the number at first or anything so I don't have a clue if it indeed has changed or not.
Kevin Wood
Her heels are triggering me
Evan Smith
IMEI doesn't change. IMEI is related mostly to hardware. Think of it as a unique identifier for every single device. This way when devices are stolen, manufacturers for example can just blacklist those IMEIs.
David Perez
Does the BQ X5 Plus get any love here?
Seems to be future proof, 5" so just the right size, and not as expensive as a Pixel.
The OnePlus looks good to me but the 5.5 is too big for my hands.
Adam Parker
No because it's missing bands and only a 652. It just doesn't compare to the OP3T. If you're OK with chinkphones might as well go with a xiaomeme or the zuk z2 or something of that nature and save yourself 100 euros.
Joseph Watson
>652 What do you do with your phone that a 652 is not sufficient?
Cameron Gomez
The BQ is the only phone on the market right now with Galileo support and BQ's firmware is very clean. Literally just AOSP + 1 a non-obtrusive support app. No bloat like Samsung or Sony have.
Bentley Williams
Been looking around for a new phone for a while now and I want to order the bq x5. Is the difference between the 2gb version and 3gb big? Difference is 40 euros.
Matthew Campbell
A 652 is sufficient, but if you're paying more than 200 euro for a 652, it's a wrong decision.
Cooper James
>Galileo
The map geek in me likes that very much, although I heard that they were having trouble with the satellites.

I was thinking of getting a Galaxy S7 but I probably shouldn't because of Samsung's reputation.
Jace Roberts
thanks. there are articles online on "how to change your IMEI" and stuff like that though.
Carson Sullivan
>Waterproofing would be nice. My hands get really sweaty. You need a waterproof phone because your hands sweat?
Nicholas Bailey
Yeah but it's illegal in many places and they can't change the actual IMEI listed on the hardware device itself (usually on battery or box or wherever manufacturers want).
Grayson Morales
I'm talking SWEATY. My last phone got a deadzone on the touchscreen. I hadn't done anything to it. I was just on the train using it to listen to music when part of the lower half suddenly stopped responding. My hands were really sweaty at the time so maybe it got into the cracks. Also, waterproofing is just a nice bonus in general.
Asher Thompson
>Waterproofing would be nice. My hands get really sweaty. Lmao. If you actually sweat that much you'd die from dehydration.
Hudson Bennett
How about just putting a screen protector on it?

OnePlus 3T Meizu MX5 Pro Honor 8
Outside Chinkshit:
LG G5 Pros: Great everything Cons: Risk of bootlooping Modular design may not appeal to everyone Back is plastic with an aluminium coating
Huawei P9 Pros: Mostly stock android Cons: reselling value low compared to other brands
HTC 10 Pros: Good design 1440p display Cons: HTC
iPhone 6/6S Pros: Really good screen at 326 ppi, despite 768p If you have a mac: iCloud integration Top tier performance for its age Newest iOS (10) Nice camera OTA updates for a loooooong time 4.7" Higher resale value Cons: 4.7" might not appeal to everyone Less pirating possibilities Expensive
Sony Xperia XZ Pros: One of the better flagships they released over the last years Robust Good design Sony-typical top tier camera Cons: Their launcher can sometimes make a phone feel slower than it actually is

Does the Honor 8 feel too small in the hands? I don't like 145.5 x 71, but I also don't like big ass 5.5" phones. Why can't there be anything good in-between?
Xavier Sanchez
Does the Moto Z Play play true high quality audio? I was thinking of getting either it orvthe Zenfone 3 zoom.

How long until nougat roms are usable? Is Lineage going to get better?
Nolan Miller
To be pedantic, the measurements are diagonal so the width and height would be larger than 0.3

Kevin Ward
I need something on Verizon for less than $200. Is the G4 my best option? Can I get away with a G4 Play?
Is it worth getting the 128gb variant of the oneplus 3t over the 64gb one? I came from a phone with 8gb internal with 16gb micro sd card.
Brody Murphy
What app do you guys use to increase your Bluetooth range? (More power = more distance right?)
Michael Stewart
Pretty much, few cdma phones and the ones that do have the bands verizon gives you shit or no service so youre stuck with big brands. Can you wait a few months for the new moto g5. If not g4 and play are fine, pretty much everything else cheaper is pure garbage and everything else is really expensive.
Easton Johnson
Just go with the 64gb one then, 128gb is always out of stock anyway
Lucas Rivera
Just bought an iDrone 6S Plus today. Should arrive Wednesday. Really happy to move back to iOS. Memes aside, out of all the phones I've ever had, the iPhone was the best.
Carter Cooper
I found a shop where they're full of 128gb 3t's though,

Could someone reccomend me a good phone? My budget is 100-140$
Blake Flores

David Jenkins
Chinkphones an option? If not then Moto G4 Play.
Caleb Reed
Should I buy the Nextbit Robin? Costs only 180€ here and it has an 808 inside it. Phones really flimsy though but its got official lineage support.
Tough decision.
Joshua Scott
is Huawei p9 lite a good phone?
Zachary Sanchez
It is unless you need custom roms. Which it'll never have.
Leo Wood
The Nexbit was a great deal when it was selling for $139 on US Amazon. For 180€, not so much.
Mi4c also has the SD808 and can be had for under 100€. Or you could get a Redmi Note 3 Pro that has a SD650 (essentially an improved SD808) and also has official LineageOS for under 180€.
Joseph Davis
ok, thanks
Easton Edwards
Taxes here are higher, so 180€ at 19% VAT is pretty much 139 dollars with no tax
Isaiah Bailey
Xperia XA Ultra or Xperia Z5?
Ryder Harris
Are there seriously no phones out there will work on Verizon and have LTE band 19?
Z5 a thousand times, as flawed as the SoC was it still packs an SD810 over the budget mediakek shit of the XA, has better camera and records in 4k, has a fingerprint scanner in most places (everywhere but the US and some europoor countries), already got the nougat update and it's just the right size for a smartphone, the XA is a 6.1" monstrosity more suited for dumb women interested in looks over functionality that can't/don't want to spend 800 burger coins on a fruit phone, hence the size, design, entry level specs and good front camera.
Levi Myers
how good is the blackberry classic?
Carson Ward
>SD650 >3GB RAM >2600 mAh >no water resistance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> euros
The Redmi Note 3 Pro has the exact same specs with a battery twice as big and it costs 160 europoors.
Caleb Carter
Yeah, and if you ignore the iPhone, none of them do CDMA, otherwise I would get an experia in a flash.
Eli Hernandez
Xiaomi Mi S 4.6" confirmed Snapdragon 821 confirmed 4 GiB of RAM confirmed 128 GB Flash confirmed
Thomas Richardson
And it comes in a sexy iphone 5s body, i'm so glad i can finally own a sub 5" phone that doesn't pack a midrange snapdragon and a 720p screen, and knowing xiaomi it will probably also have a 4100 mAh battery.
Eli Cooper
Hmm, I think 4.6" is a bit too small even for a compact phone. 4.7-4.8" would be perfect.
James Brooks
I just ordered a new (old stock) Galaxy S5 for $220. Supposed to be factory sealed still.
What does /spg/ think?
Tyler Nguyen
looks like justin long
Chase Rogers
Fuck nevermind, it has a subpar battery, still those specs are flagship tier.
It's the same size as the xperia compact phones and everyone agrees that it's the perfect size for a small phone.
Caleb Stewart
Source? Last news I saw on it were last year and the CEO or something of Xiaomi said thta it's not in the works.
Daniel Cruz
Now that are boy Hugo is gone what do you think is the future of Xiaomi? Will it continue to be the savior of modern cell phone industry or will it begin to crumble and become generic /csg/ fodder?
James Martinez
A bit much but it has removeable battery, roms, and is still pretty fast. Not bad.
Bentley James
You did good, now unlock the bootloader and flash an AOSP rom on it or prepare to suffer the extreme lag that is 5.1.1/6.0.1 touchwizz after a year of use.
Solid specs, just about every gimmick modern smartphones have, good camera, IR blaster, removable battery, SD slot and can take a beating, i'd use it as a daily driver if it had more than 2GB of ram.
Ryder Long
SD or Exynos?
Decent phone either way, the only thing holding it back is only 2GB of ram.
Jason Sanchez
>2GB of ram. When do you need more? Even 1 GB is enough for car navigation + music player
Jace Powell
quick question
>usa >verizon
only necessity is sd card slot big bonus for removable battery
best phone?
Ethan Rodriguez
>implying i'd ever fall for the car jew
It's mainly for PS1 emulation while having a music player open.
Joseph Rodriguez
Moto G4 Play
Parker Sullivan
Fair enough. I never played a game on a smartphone. This is probably why I still get by with the Moto G1 running CM14
looks good enough for me do I buy it online and just my current sim card in it? or do I have to do anything through verizon?
Justin Hall
just put* my current sim card in it
Joshua Myers
There's more to a phone than just the SoC. With your logic something like HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 is not worth buying because a ZUK Z2 also has a SD820 and is only 160€.
