I prefer the pro and the edge to be quite honest.
Caleb Roberts
the z2 is comfy because it's small screen
Cameron Robinson
>No band 12 Rest in peperoni
Joseph King
also no band 20, but doesn't really matter since i only use 3G outside of the city.
Luis Bell
Femanon here Do you think there will be a "mini" version of the Samsung Galaxy S8? As far as I remember they haven't released a cut-down version since the S4 mini
David Clark
True. But the pro is still 5.2 inch, which isn't completely unreasonable.
I wish they'd do an edge mini, 4.8 or 5 inch 1080p with 85% screen to body ratio would be comfy as fuck.
Chase Harris
Thoughts on the Moto 5g?
Caleb Garcia
4/64 good. 2/16 ain't worth it.
No.
Joseph Bell
same. with the success of the Z2 i'm hoping lenovo seizes the opportunity to capitalize on the (very big) small screen market.
William Brown
Best bang for the buck, would recommend.
Matthew White
Ive got the cash to burn, and I'm wondering if I should upgrade to the Moto Z Play from the Redmi Note 3 Pro. The pros are, better battery life, stock Android, AMOLED, and Moto Mod Support. Any ideas?
Lincoln Turner
>5 inch 85% screen to body ratio >2700 - 2800mAh battery >AMOLED 1080p display >Same camera as the Z2 Pro >SD625 >64GB UFS >4GB RAM >type C >utouch >$280-350 usd
Would buy in a heartbeat. It would easily put a 4.7 inch iPhone to shame.
Wyatt Thomas
the z2 has a 3500 mAh battery.. would feel a bit weak with 2800, especially with an AMOLED.
Easton Garcia
Country: Estados Unidos Carrier: T-Mobile US Features wanted: Stock (or near stock) Android with reliable updates (latest software and monthlies), LTE band 12, VoLTE and wifi calling a must. Good availability of accessories. Storage: At least 64GB (external storage not a must) Budget: no ceiling, but keep it reasonable
What are my options?
Joshua Gray
To add to this post, I already have an iPhone 6s Plus 128GB on one line, so I would like an an android phone on the other.
Lincoln Cooper
Pixlel or OP3T.

> been using a note 3 for 3 years > It always has low signal strength > It hardly supports any 4G bands
What the fuck how is a normal person supposed to know network bands change and develop every few months and phones older than only one or two years become redundant.
Oliver Perez
5 inch 85% screen to body ratio will be very small. I'd prefer 3000mAh plus but the difference isn't massive and it should still be getting ~8 hours or more SoT with a black theme and the efficient snapdragon 625.
My 3100mAh Z2 Pro gets almost 8 hours per charge even with relatively high brightness because everything is black themed on my phone. And SD625 is much easier on the battery than my SD820 is.
Lucas Martinez
What phone? Selling the Honor 8
Isaiah Smith
I asked this before but thread died. I have a oneplus one about to shit the bed.
Should I go for something in the $150 range like the blu or Redmi or save some money and get the oneplus 3T? Or wait for oneplus 5 so the 3T drops in price?
Aaron Lee
get the zuk z2 until Pixel 2 drops.
Cooper Cooper
Get the Zuk z2 while it's $158 from banggood.
Noah Watson
>htc lol no

I didn't even know that thing existed. Thanks, will look into it

and im wary of any straight up chink shit like the ZUK, pic related
Lucas Flores
Deciding between LG V20 & Moto Z Force.
Camden Adams
Question.
Why does everyone in these threads always shill the highest end phones? Sure the specs are great but the battery life of a Snapdragon 820 is going to be far worse than, say, a 650, and it will get hotter too. And the higher end chip is not appreciably better at doing anything you would normally use a phone for anyways.
Wouldn't it be smart to save a few bucks and drop down to the midrange?
Both have: >5MP secondary camera >2 Microsim slots >1.3GHz Quad-core CPU >16GB space >1280 x 720 resolution
Second phone looks a little bit better-spec wise, but doesn't have Wi-Fi. Any opinions?
Dominic Rogers
It's just some autist. Ignore him lol. If you can get the priv that price then definitely go for it, but if not then I'd recommend considering the Zuk. Z3C with non removable battery just isn't recent enough for me to consider as practical.
Because the stronger SoC with more ram handles multitasking more smoothly, and the device will have other benefits like quick charge, better camera, better screen, etc.
Brandon Long
Oukitel C5 Pro.
Better build quality, more ram, 4G, plus I've owned an Oukitel phone and can vouch for their insane build quality. Dropped my k6000 pro onto concrete with only a small scratch on the screen and a dent in the bottom right corner. Nothing broke.
He's just shitposting. I have no idea what motivates someone to post trash like that, but whatever. I've owned a couple of Chinese phones and they've all been good.
Aaron Anderson
C5 Pro any day. 2 GB ram makes a HUGE difference.
Ryan Hall
I'd also check out Lenovo P2. better battery life and cheaper than the Z Play. You lose the Moto Mod support though.
Cooper Johnson
How can anyone defend the iPhone 6s costing 700 bucks when it has a worse CPU than a fucking ZUK Z2?
Aaron Williams
Why?
Adrian Ward
>chinkshill I'd really rather not, but if the zuk is like 3 steps ahead of anything else in the $200 range and i have no luck on ebay, I just might get one
my nokia N9 gets down to 20% after about 8 hours of normal use for me, I usually carry a cheap portable batt/charger just in case. is it just the Z3c's battery that you would consider its weakpoint? or is there something else
Benjamin Wood
to be fair it's not 700 bucks anymore, but it's still too high. Zuk Z2 is ranked 16th best phone right now for $150 which is insane.
iphone 6 is down to 22nd.
Aiden Allen
Any lightweight camera app that just werks? Hate Google and Moto default ones. Other I've seen are packed with stores and shit.
Connor Butler
Right.
Connor Scott
I have a question, i'm planning to flash a custom rom on my gf's phone, with a custom rom and unroot process, will she be able to play Pokemon GO?
Gavin King
Why would anyone buy the iPhone 6s when the galaxy s7 exists?
Zuk Z2 is great, but come on man, exynos 8890 is fucking great.
The battery will be aged. It's still slim but you'll be more likely to have issues with the battery, like it exploding in your face during a call or not lasting as long as it should.
That's why I recommended the zuk or the priv.
I love that Zuk phones are 1080p and reviewers criticise that. 1080p is the best mobile resolution.
Couldn't you just give a preferred phone/screen size?
Isaac Lewis
Is buying from Aliexpress/BangGood really safe? It always appeared fishy to me and some of my friends told me when they never received shit they bought. When it's a 10€ USB storage device, it's okay, but I'm fucking frightened from buying a 300€ phone.
Kayden Fisher
Banggood and Gearbest are safe. Aliexpress is so-so, I wouldn't trust them.
When I bought my phone on Gearbest I payed $5 for a tracking number and even got pictures of the package when it shipped. These are huge sites with thousands of orders per day.
Evan Martinez
What's wrong with aliexpress? I've bought a lot from them and they've never failed me.
They're usually cheaper than gearbest too.
Anthony Carter
I've just heard stories about Aliexpress, and Aliexpress is much larger than those other sites and sell literally every object imaginable whereas gearbest and banggood is mostly consumer electronics.
Ian Nelson
>z3c battery so if I opened it up and replaced the one inside it should be fine?
btw thanks for your help, anons
Brandon Jones
Should be able to yes. I'm on non-rooted CM13 and PoGo works fine.
Nolan Morales
>Why would anyone buy the iPhone 6s when the galaxy s7 exists?
I have an iPhone SE and an S7 atm and will be getting rid of the S7. Granted, I have the snapdragon version, but it stutters quite a lot (especially after restarting) whereas the SE has been completely smooth
Jace Hernandez
Looking for a phone to replace my LGG3. Preferably less than $200, easy to flash, and good for VR. Suggestions?
Leo Jones
>just heard stories so basically you're talking shit? Never ordered anything off Aliexpress have you?
Angel Price
The Exynos version is really good. A couple of my friends use the S7E.
It's a shame Americans get the snapdragon variant, I don't think Samsung cares enough to properly optimise their rom for that processor.
Yep. Gotta be careful to buy an original or good quality third party battery though.
They're just stories. I buy from a variety of outlets and just go for whichever is offering what I want cheaper.
That includes aliexpress.
Easton Morris
I personally have not, that's correct.
Angel Wilson
LeEco Le Max 2. The 5.7" 1440p screen is great for VR and LeEco has released kernel sources for the phone so there's plenty of custom ROMs available including an official LineageOS build.
Jason Murphy
I'm considering the OP3T because I'm willing to give OnePlus a shot, also because google can't seem to make the Pixel XL 128GB available.
The phone looks decent, but: >5.5" >1080p >pentile
This is killing me. Can anyone with an OP3T chime in on the screen?
Hunter Hall
Isn't it 1440p?
Brayden Torres
FYI T-Mobile is axing their $30 prepaid Walmart plan (5GB LTE, 100 Talk, Unlimited text) on 3/26
Landon Green
>inb4 tits or gtfo Honestly you shouldn't care about Samsung mini phones, they usually have sub-par specs compared to the real deal.
Get an iPhone SE, an iPhone 7 or a Sony X Compact It's 1080p and it looks fine to me.
On the other hand I don't fap to anime on my phone so maybe that's my bad.
Ethan Price
The screen is perfectly fine, great even. You don't need 1440p unless you're planning to do VR stuff.
Thomas Martin
Tweaked a few things with the OP3T last night. 86% to 48% 3hr 33mins SOT just below 50% brightness.
Also is it bad to charge your phone to 100%?
Grayson Garcia
glass and metal ain't cheap neither is a 10nm process not even intel could achieve that on time
William Hall
>Also is it bad to use your phone as intended? No, but I usually advise against keeping it plugged in for a long period after it has reached 100%
Evan Rogers
Canadian looking to upgrade his falling apart Xperia Z3C.
Research so far: >Lenovo Zuk Z2 $215 CAD >Huawai Honor 8 $380 CAD >OnePlus 3T $599 CAD
The Zuk Z2 seems to be the best value, but reviews say the camera is shitty and that's one of the things that really bugged me about my Z3C. Updates and a stock android style experience are also important to me.
Christian Johnson
So my absolutely fucked S7 Edge finally died, thing's smashed to shit. Anyway, looking for a new phone as I'm back on my Xperia Z, don't want to spend too much and happy to buy used. Sort of considering just getting a OP3T Would ideally like a micro sd slot Any recs?
Gavin Phillips
Get a OP3T, it lacks a microSD card slot but it's perfect in pretty much every other way.
Josiah James
Keeping the phone on the charger at 100%, by charging it over night for example, doesn't harm the battery.
Xavier Howard
mi 5s or zuk z2 pro? looking for a long lasting phone, so lcd might be better. Also how's the camera?
Brody Perez
Zuk Z2 has received tons of updates including an official Lenovo Nougat version, but you're right that the camera is bad.
Austin Mitchell
opinions on the new sony xz premium ? need a new phone to replace my s6 and i dont wanna go samshit again
Juan Carter
Dropped it? Worried I'll break it. After my s7e getting absolutely recked I'd hate to break another phone
Dylan Stewart
So you rooted, flashed and unrooted? Or is there anything else to do?
Ayden Gonzalez
ZUK Z2 Pro?
Jaxson Kelly
Nah, it's a stable build of Cyanogenmod 13 so it's unrooted out of the box. Depends on the ROM if it's pre-rooted or not. Think LineageOS builds are also unrooted by default.
Aaron Powell
Axon 7 Lenovo P2 Moto G5 Plus Honor 8 Moto Z Play
Nathaniel Roberts
Is there an alternative to the Zuk Z2 that doesn't have a shit camera?
Zachary Jones
Sup /spg/ I need purchasing advice for a new phone.
Country MX Carrier Telcel Budget: about 5k pesos Features: Best I can get Size: Don't care.
Dominic Green
Chink phones an option? ZUK Z2 or Redmi Note 4 Global for example. If not then Moto G5.
Jace Sanchez
G5 plus
Kayden Hall
Think I'll go with the Moto, since this is a phone for my parents and will be easy to locate it for them.
Aiden Allen
4 hours SOT on 48% of battery ayyyy
Oliver Ramirez
Oh, ok. Got it!
Levi Rodriguez
Hey /spg/, could I get a rec?
Country: UK Carrier: N/A Budget: £400, could stretch to £450 Features: I don't give a shit about gaming on my phone but I'd like a good camera. Screen quality is probably my biggest concern. Size: Nothing bigger than 5.5" screenwise, but nothing smaller than 5". Pretty standard I guess
I've been looking at the Pixel (lil bit out of my budget), OP3T (current favourite) and the Huawei P9 (meme camera afaik)
Not too bothered about chinkshit although the hassle of finding a retailer is kind of offputting
Juan Rivera
oh i forgot, it'll probably be my primary music listening device so if there's some phone that's good but is shit for music then scrap that also
Aaron Phillips
Two things: -How's the iphone SE? -And what is the compact format android alternative?
Matthew Cox
S7 / S7 Edge. Beautiful AMOLED Screen, one of the best cameras in any smartphone and a good DAC.
Nicholas Stewart
Is the Xiaomi Mi Mix a meme? It looks incredible.
Sebastian Brooks
It's great, I'd say it's the best iPhone available at the moment in terms of value for money, especially now that the storage is doubled.
Closest there is to an android equivalent is Sony Z5 / X Compact phones.
