I mean I don't have issues when I'm actually using the Oneplus even though I don't have very large hands, but it can feel a bit awkward when I'm carrying it in my pants. Don't know how much better the S7 feels in that regard, in the end it's only a 4 millimeter difference so I don't know if that's at all noticeable in your pocket
Jonathan Howard
>4 millimeter
Scratch that, I was looking at the inches. It's actually one centimeter taller
Joseph Stewart
ZTE has USB-C, 802.11ac, dual cameras, larger screen, and off screen buttons (so more screen space dedicated to your actual screen).
Moto has US CDMA bands and ships with Nougat. And possibly more RAM if you get the more expensive version.
Chase Hernandez
Thanks m8, I,ll go with the S7
Anthony Cooper
Make sure it's not the Edge, that one's a bit bigger
Asher Turner
of course, and it has the meme curved screen
Nicholas Harris
Honor 8 Moto G4 Plus / G5 Plus ZUK Z2 Pro Mi5 / Mi5s Nubia Z11 mini S
Dylan White
Oh man I started reading about phone sizes and in 2011 the Droid X was considered huge. Now there aren't even compact phones this size. What's your threshold with these things?
Angel Wilson
So all galaxy s8s are confirmed to have the meme screen, yeah?
Blake Carter
OK, so which one would you get?
Oliver Reed
I'd go with the ZTE personally. Right now I have a Moto G3 with a charging port that's getting loose, so I want that USB-C. Might get it within a month or so.
Nicholas Howard
I fucking hate modern phones. It's one of my most common things to bitch about with my friend. The Xperia X Compact and the Z5C before it are basically the only phones I consider to be acceptable in size, and all the cheap small phones while cheap also manage to have THICC bezels and the worst of both worlds when it comes to thickness.
As in, thick, and yet a small ass battery.
Caleb Butler
Anyone here have a Moto G5 plus? Is the camera cover scratch resistant?
Joshua Kelly
nigga, don't buy that ugly piece of shit
Easton Powell
What then?
Blake Martinez
just got an honour 6x 64 gb storage and 4gb ram for 290 bucks with 1 year warranty . did i do well ?
Im 200 cm long m8 , the honor 8 is too small for me
Michael Moore
Wait.
>This item will be released on March 31, 2017. Okay then, so it's not out yet but very soon.
Xavier Lewis
Nigga just buy the non-Amazon variant. Amazon is slow af on updates
Cameron Robinson
tell me, /spg/, are Sony phones good? I'm looking at the XZ. All i've ever had is an iphone and i'm tired of applels bullshit so I want to switch to android. The non-rounded design is what draws me in the most. What are some other good rectangular phones?
Aiden Brown
Amazon version is much cheaper and I'm just going to install Lineage on it anyway.
Noah Mitchell
Zuk Z2 Pro should be around that price.
Austin Foster
sony phones are fine imo. Their rom is mostly stock with not that many modifications. I had my sony for almost 4 years now and I don't know how often I dropped that fucker. Display is still intact, it's amazing.
Camden Reyes
You should wait then. I have LOS on my Moto G4 Prime and the battery was quite atrocious.
Oliver Gray
wait for s8 and g6 to sit on the market for a while
Chase Reed
This. Have a 4 year old xperia z that I drop all the time. Got an s7 edge, broke that, so now back on the sony.
James Anderson
so the Moto G 5 has been out in europe for some time now; what's the consensus?
Anthony Perez
What's the difference between redmi note 4 and 4x
Connor Cox
Lost its way after 3rd gen
Josiah Brooks
There's Redmi Note 4 with a Mediatek Helio X20 SoC, and a Redmi Note 4 with a Snapdragon 625 SoC, same as the Note 4X. The only difference between the two phones with SD625 is the network bands supported.
Isaac Perry
any other cheap and durables?
James Taylor
Depends on the model, but 2016 Sony X-line phones are fine overall. A bit too expensive for what you get, but if it's not a concern for you, buy one.
Avoid Z5 line, it's trash.
Jason Cruz
>need a Verizon phone >need a removable battery >need a SD card slot >need wireless charging >need a bootloader unlock >need Linage OS support >Galaxy S5 meets all requirements >order SM-G900V >has a fucking Toshiba eMMC >no bootloader unlock >keep trying >now I have 3 useless bloatware filled shitphones I'm fucking pissed.
William Davis
The alternative: LG G3 and LG V20
Connor Parker
Sorry, I don't want bootloops.
Hunter Nguyen
Redmi Note 4 Global
Xavier Sullivan
>my friend Only one? Who'd have guessed?
Logan Jenkins
>need No you don't
Owen Phillips
Some cheap phones are fine. The Acer T06 I bought as a cheap throwaway to tie me over after my LG G4 started bootlooping (at least until Snapdragon 835 stuff starts to hit the market) is an example of this.
Bezels are no more thicc than on the Pixel, body is no thicker than my old HTC One S yet has a removable backplate, call quality is acceptable, runs Android 6.0 (but hasn't received updates since June 2016 security patch), camera is reasonable, MediaShit processor is reasonably zippy, has SD card support, the 720p screen has better colour reproduction than my $1,300 Thinkpad X250, battery is 2000 mAh but lasts all day. Only real issue is the speaker is quiet and it only supports 3G, but for $100 Canadabux unlocked I am astounded at how good it is.
Jayden Hughes
Forgot pic, on friends phone.
Another thing I forgot to mention is it has dual SIMs, so would make a good travel phone. You don't care about it breaking and roaming isn't an issue.
Jace Watson
Anyone tried Samsungs dual sim "active" emulation or what ever it is?
Lucas Gutierrez
You don't need food but every day or so. Stop eating so much. You don't need to go to the grocery store. Go track, kill, gut, and cook and animal yourself using a fire you made with sticks.
Xavier Baker
The US sounds like a hellish place when you need to think about what phone to get for what carrier
Jonathan Morris
The US is large and carriers operate on different frequencies. It's not like some little European country where you have 10 cell towers.
Leo Martinez
Meh, people should already know that if GSM networks have the most choices for phones, but Normie's are idiots
Isaac Parker
For Verizon and Sprint yes. The GSM networks are basically the same and more phones these days have global versions that include both US and Yuro LTE bands.
Isaac Jackson
Anyone have a ZenFone 3 MAX? Or know if the specs are good?
t. iPhone user
Kevin Ortiz
Pretty much all the European countries use the same 3 LTE bands, meanwhile in the US every carrier uses different bands for some stupid reason
Luke Clark
Max? No, its low tier specs, the regular Zenfone 3 with the SD 625 is leagues better
Justin Flores
yes it's great if you do the initial setup correctly
Andrew Anderson
But it looks shittier :/
Nathan Reed
I have to give away my Samsung J3 in a few days. I have set it back to factory settings to clean it up, but I want to make sure nobody will get my data. Could someone recommend me a good app that would overwrite all sectors in my phones internal storage?
Hudson Bailey
The Max has >worse screen >worse camera >worse SoC
Its literally the worst model with the only saving grace being the screen size but the resolution is shit, you'd be better off either buying the Laser or a Blade V8 Pro
Caleb Smith
Do all regular 3s have dual sim? Sometimes the write it in the title and sometimes not
Nathaniel Moore
IIRC, yes
Camden Smith
Will have to check it out, the black/blue version didn't look half bad Found mostly gold ones
USBC would be cool
Hudson Johnson
If you find it too expensive, the ZF3 Laser is pretty good, has a decent screen and camera, and the SD 430 is a pretty decent low end SoC with QC 3.0, I have one in the phone I'm rocking now for a daily and it performs well
Charles Jenkins
It's not really about price, I'm getting a new phone from work since I'm tired of carrying around 2. So my main need is dual sim really, and that the store we buy phones from have them.
Lucas Carter
Has anyone gotten a Dtek 60?
Benjamin Stewart
Oh well if work's paying for it, get the standard ZF3
Alexander Davis
Shit, if they're willing, get a ZF3 Deluxe or Ultra
Asher Lee
I'm think I'm gonna do that, because it doesn't show up as dual sim in the title but it says 2 sims so I guess it's just the store being bad. I hadn't looked at it
Luke Butler
They have the Deluxe but only in gold, and I think it's almost too large for my liking.
If I go for the cheaper version I might hold out hope for the non-existing chance of Apple releasing a dual sim phone this fall and change to it. If I got the deluxe it might have to use it longer I guess
Josiah Sanders
Which one should I get? ZTE Axon 7, Xiaomi mi5 or Redmi Note 4?
I need a phone with a good camera and GPS (i would like to use it to navigate and register GPX tracks with some accuracy). I would also like to be able to install Lineage OS on it (otherwise I would add to the possibilities the Huawei P9 Lite as well) and I use a lot of apps, so I guess a good CPU/performance in general.
Which one is better? Also, why the hell are Xiaomi phones not on Amazon anymore? I've heard about the charger shit, did they not fix it?

Country: Italy Carrier: TIM
Oliver Gomez
Check to see if the second SIM is a combo slot where its either the SIM or mSD card, it might be configured that way
Jack Clark
I mean when you click in on it it says 2xSIM, it's just in the name of the phone they haven't included it (but they've done that on like all other phones since they don't have a filter function for it sadly)
Kevin Diaz
Oneplus 3T
Ian Fisher
Check on the Asus website, they'll state whether the second SIM is a combo or not
Wyatt Morales
Require solid no-nonsense phone.
Calls, texting, email, sync'd Outlook calendar, navigation, light browsing only (have no interest in apps unlikely to be bundled).
- Good build quality - Expect good battery life given use profile above - Should last several years
I basically want the phone equivalent of a ThinkPad.
UK, budget £200-300 (happy to spend less), Tesco (O2) sim only. No interest in it as a status item.
Would like to go with a dumb/feature phone in fact but I travel a lot and access to the web etc. is helpful when trying to work out how to get around places where you don't speak the language.
Pixel 5in version is perfectly usuable with one hand, the trick I guess is actually buying one since they're perpetually out of stock
Grayson Lee
Something under 300$?
Christian Brown
Shit, get a Lumia
Carter Russell
Axon 7 isn't under $300 though?
Nathan Peterson
Encryption fails on my sony z1 compact with root. It causes device to either enter bootloop or shows the "unsuccessful encryption" error. In both cases I need to restore full emmc backup from twrp. Any ideas why this is happening? When I remove root it passes fine...
Christian Perry
Honor 6X
Joseph Robinson
Something under 300 with usb-c? and decent camera?
Dylan Adams
I'm replacing a Lumia which I've had for four years. Thought I should broaden my horizons but yeah.
Don't like smartphones, can't live without one it seems.
Brayden Edwards
I think I've been permanently cucked by MIUI. I always end up going back to xiaomi.eu for some reason. It just works and is pleasant to use.
Brayden Parker
Sony Xperia XA or Huawei P9 Lite?
Landon Powell
why is the s7 so good
Evan Nguyen
>Honor 6X Yes, I was asking if it was the best choice compared to the two Xiaomi ones (that are under 300$ as well).
Nicholas Powell
Can anyone suggest a phone that has a big screen, good camera, and some sort of water resistance? I have young kids and everything is at risk of getting wet at any moment
Secondary things but nice would be good processor speed (for emulation) and fingerprint reader on the back.
Price is honestly whatever
Michael Rivera
The situation for GSM carriers in the US isn't really much better. For one thing each carrier has their own non-standard implementation of voLTE, so not just any GSM phone will work unless you don't mind being without voice and SMS at times. T-Mobile is like this since majority of their Low band spectrum is band 12 LTE, when in one of these areas you'll be without voice and SMS coverage unless you went out of your way to buy a GSM phone that went through the certification process to have voLTE. AT&T is even worse since they refuse to certify any unlocked phones that aren't made by Apple and the only Androids that have voLTE are the AT&T branded S7 and (I think) LG G5. Of course AT&T branded phones are the worst of all branded phoned for bloatware, especially with the constant DirectTV pop-ups. Further more the GSM carriers both have shit overall coverage compared to Verizon. I've tried both AT&T and T-Mobile but always wound up going back to Verizon. Cost difference was minimal since I only do prepaid service with unlocked or used branded phones.
Jordan Roberts
if you like it, it's not really being cucked friendo
s8
Jose Long
I have no idea how I quoted part of another comment (">Honor 6X") here.
