was at best buy today and checked out the s8, display is nice but hate that it's so tall, makes you have to shift your grip to swipe down from the top then press back button for instance. was thinking about getting one but think i'll pass.
same, i'd like around 5" and thicker - gives you something to grab on.

Finally, a phone for us.
Liam Brown
Are there phones similar to the zuk or redmi that don't require post-purchase rooting to make the software usable?
Jackson Cook
As long as I can shitpost with it, it should be fine...
Angel Foster
>huge fucking bezels what's the point
Asher Morgan
Doogee and Leeco phones
Wyatt Perry
The FM Radio is the most underappreciated feature of a phone.
Especially when you have no internet, it also uses way less battery.
Glad my new Moto G5 Plus has one built in again, I really missed it.
Jordan Parker
No. literally all chinkphones OS's are pure shite. you buy them for the unbeatable perf/$ value, not their subpar software. Zuk is much easier to root and flash roms to, since you don't have to ask Xiaomi for permission to unlock your bootloader and deal with the EDL locks they started putting on their phones.
Andrew Hall
No excuse for Motorola to not have led notification, the original g has one that only blinks white and that was fine Cheap fucking shitters
Leo Jackson
Who else /Moto Z Play/ here?
Wyatt Russell
I would if it was $250~
Evan James
>when you should have bought an Xperia Compact
Why did I fall for the big phone meme instead? It's too damn big, I can't at all use it one-handed. JUST
Isaac Moore
>specs >beautiful phone
Hello pajeet
Asher Adams
There's plenty of methods to unlock the bootloader without asking xiaomi. Also miui might be shit but it gets way better battery life than every single curry ROM.
Henry Perez
The only phones with usable software ootb are motorolas, oneplus and apparently the new nokias
Andrew Williams
Isn't that because most of them aggressively kill background tasks? You get marginally better battery life at the cost of user experience.
Andrew Flores
>2hr SOT difference >marginal
Alexander Barnes
Looking for a phone that could match the experience I had with the LG G3, which was God tier IMO. Any suggestions? Was considering the lg v20.
Caleb Edwards
>US >100-200$ >T-Mobile (I know) >Must be better than a Avant
Camden Gray
Yeah user we all know what your experience was, fucking moron.
Read the first sentence of the OP.
Adam Ortiz
US AT&T $400-500 Good camera, 1080p+ screen res, not shit
Sebastian Ramirez
3T Second hand S7 edge
Mason Gonzalez
Let me start off by saying stock Android is still leagues ahead of the best TW ROM - not a samshill in the slightest.
But I just put a Note 7 ROM on my Note 4 (exynos model so AOSP is pretty much a lost cause) and holy goddamn - for a touchjizz ROM, it's not bad. Why did it take them until their grenade masquerading as a phone to manage it?
>but muh bricking update It doesn't have the ability to update.
Owen Morris
How much of an improvement should I be looking at from switching from a Redmi 3 Pro (SD616) to a Redmi 4 Pro (SD625)
David Campbell
How do I make the url.bar on naked browser stay at the top of the screen like other browsers?
Ethan Morris
What's a good weather widget? Just want a 5 day forecast. Seems like all the widgets I try and bloated all to hell

Cooper Ramirez
How do you hold your phone, I need to shift my grip with my Oneplus too. Which is why I have the notifications mapped to longpressing the homebutton. In general I don't understand why phone software insists on having buttons at the top of the screen when nobody can reach them with their thumb
Picture is unrelated, I just think this looks really nice somehow
James Sanders
>AU >Cheaper the better >Optus >must be 720 and run games okay for my little brother pic unrelated its my nexus 6p SOT
Kevin Brooks
Anyone have either the Mi Mix or the Mi Note 2? How's the phone been in your experience? Been trying to decide between the two, kinda a big letdown that only the more expensive global version of the note works in the US
Samuel Ramirez
honestly the iphone 5 was probably the perfect size. i just fucking hate apple, so i won't buy it.
Jacob Wilson
Should I grab an S8? I have an iPhone 6 and it's getting pretty slow. Is there a consensus on it?
Blake Kelly
where do I buy the redmi phones?
Zachary Cooper
because it's a half inch thick.
Owen Perry
Thanks, looks good
Bentley Perez
how to make scratches on screen less noticeable?
Chase Lee
Aliexpress or Gearbest. Find the cheapest options on Kimovil
Jack Gutierrez
I have one, but there's no real reason to get it over an S7 unless you really like the looks.
Bixby doesn't add anything.
James Thomas
hey, any fellow zuk z2-fags here? What rom did you use? I got mine yesterday, and finished unlocking and putting twrp(and then supersu) but i got it from banggood so its running the indian rom without security updates since last year.
Anyone have advice on a lean, basic, secure rom? I just want something i can put on it and forget about it(just do OTA updates for security. I'll put my own browser, file explorer, media player, etc...)
Tyler Perez
What's a good screen protector for the v20
Luke Ortiz
Please don't frogpost
Lucas Collins
I have a Popsocket stuck on the back of my Nexus 6P case. Whenever I can't reach a section of the screen I just switch to one handed mode. I don't know if that feature is available outside of custom ROMS but yeah, there ya go.
Jacob Garcia
Pros: >That fucking screen >camera is just right >speedy, no stutters (yet) >great for multimedia >very fast wifi/cellular >Face/Iris works well even if there's some sun directly on it >RAM usage is good >great battery
Minor gripes: >fingerprint sensor, but it's actually pretty decent if you're a big guy >no dual cameras, but those are kinda of a meme >edge screen can sometimes take a couple of attempts to bring up >samsung software (not lag, but minor regionalized things)
Cons: >gyroscope for potrait/landscape is a bit oversensitive >a bit taller than I would like >No, i don't want bixby, I want to change the volume
Eli Jenkins
Moto z play vs the samsung a7 2017, which of these two has the better camera?
James Smith
Does anyone else with an LG v20 have really noticeable light bleed on the top of their screen below the camera?
Jacob Clark
I want to get the Galaxy Note 8 when it comes out, but I also want a sick phone that I can't afford just for shitposting because I have no friends. My last samsung phone was an S3 and it was honestly the best phone I've ever had. I have an LG G3 right now but it's a worthless piece of garbage and I haven't even bothered getting it activated.
If I sign up for Verizon and buy an S8+, how will an upgrade to the Note 8 work when they start making those? Will I have to pay off the $840 on the S8+ and then trade it in for like $200 off of the Note 8?
Kayden Morales
Anyone ever tried ordering enough stuff from Oneplus to get free shipping for a $100 order then return the excess, unopened stuff to them? I know they have a 15-day warranty for refund and replacement but can you simply say I want to return it because I don't like it/over-ordered?
Nolan Perry
They'll hit you with a restocking fee, just like everyone else in the world would.
Levi Thompson
Does Sprint let you replace your phone with a different one if it breaks and you have a warranty? Like if my v20 bootlooped, could I replace it with an s8 even if I was still on my contract?
Samuel Russell
Is there a prepaid plan out there at all that uses Verizon towers and lets you bring in your own phone? Oh and also doesn't have full retard rates?
Noah Campbell
is the moto g5 a yuropoor/pajeet phone? I have yet to see a site that sells them in the US
Grayson Edwards
It astonishes the fuck out of me how they included a button for bixby. If bixby were like Siri i.e. I could actually talk to it, then that'd be fine. Luckily you can disable it completely from popping up.
Liam Hernandez
How necessary is package pro disabler for the S8? I can't find a way to disable badge notifications
Easton White
Aside from aesthetically, is there any advantage to these AMOLED screens?
I feel like people keep going on about how they work but they don't seem to really add that much for how much they cost.
Levi Miller
if you use Verizon's towers it has to support CDMA, and that limits a lot of options for you.
just for example, the following phone lines don't work on CDMA unless they specifically make one for the carrier: >Sony Xperia >OnePlus >ZTE Axon >Nokia's upcoming Androids >LG's non-flagships >most of HTC's phones >basically all of Huawei's phones >Asus Zenphone >the list goes on
Cameron Morris
The screen and battery and haptic feedback are all miles better. I'm happy that I upgraded.
William Sanchez
but is that worth nearly twice the price? You can get a refurbished or "new" s7 off Aliexpress for like 300 bucks.
Jordan Smith
Judging by how incredibly baller the S8 battery life has proven to be, even when in QHD+, they're probably a lot more energy efficient.
So, on the topic of the S8, I tried pressing the Bixby button, looked at the Privacy Policy, and was already irked. I don't think I want to actually try that. Do you guys think I'm being paranoid? Or do you agree? I was actually really excited about Bixby initially, but it sounds like in its current state, it's garbage. But I want a use for that damned button! Google Assistant sucks so much goddam dick it's not even funny, so I don't really wanna use that with the button, either, necessarily. Why are all the voice assistants such fucking garbage?
Also, the S8 is I believe a lot better at low light photography than the S7. Check out this surprisingly clear photo taken on the road in the dead of night.
Bentley Watson
I thought the camera on the S8 was more or less just a repeat of the S7? I heard it looks almost identical.
as far as voice assistants, they're great for simple tasks but usually very limited due to the complexity of human speech and roundabout wording of commands.. I've heard Amazon Alexa is leaps and bounds above anything google or microsoft has put out, but I've never seen or used one.
John Robinson
Let me try and explain my situation. >bought a used unlocked (Verizon) Galaxy S7 a month ago >was told it would work 100% with any providers that let me bring my own device >go with H2O >this is clearly not true >have only been able to use 3G >have tried multiple APN settings and still nothing >also can't into voicemail for some reason I really like the phone but at this point I wish I just grabbed the new S6 Active for the same price.
Anthony Powell
so, wait, you bought a Verizon variant of the Galaxy S7?
Why not just buy the unlocked version? The Verizon variant probably has GSM locked or something.
The camera is physically the same, but the image processing seems to me to be quote a lot better.
Joseph Thomas
It looks far better than almost any phone camera would under such adverse conditions.
Jeremiah Mitchell
i lik u love
totch panty sexy kiss brest pussi sexy sex
Christian Jackson
I just grabbed it mainly because it was a good deal (one scratch on the screen I can't even notice unless the sun hits it just right otherwise it's like new). I had been told it would work 100% with GSM carriers but now that doesn't seem to be the case.
Ethan Perez
price is not a con?
Wyatt Stewart
well according to every variant of the s7 should work on GSM fine.
Did you switch the network internally? You know you can't just pop in a SIM card and call it a day.
Tyler Jones
honestly at those prices minor gripes become a lot more annoying to me.
Josiah Moore
The sensor is different, the software is different, and they have an actual hardware camera stabilization this time and not just software.
Levi Jenkins
Yeah. I also messed with multiple different APN settings for H2O and no luck. Also I can root this thing to ditch the Verizon exclusive apps, correct?
Noah Stewart
honestly the phone seems fine, your issues seem to be with setting up the phone to work with H2O.
I don't know about rooting, I heard Samsung phones are a bitch to mess with.
Zachary Rodriguez
Yeah I hear that too, not impossible just a real cunt. I just want these literal dead weight apps that I wouldn't even use in the first place gone. Any idea what H2O's CS is like? I'm tempted to try another AT&T carrier next month just to see what's going on.
