Went into EE yesterday. Contracts are bullshit. >tell him I want to pay under £20 a month because muh universities >comes at me with >£27/month fucking great, at this point I have so little faith in phones that I might just jump for a Redmi Note 3.

Who the fuck designed this pos? looks uncomfortable and stupid,

Just get a PAYG sim

>wanted features I want performance. I don't want my phone to slow down after a couple months. I would like to be able to root and load a custom rom, but stock isn't a deal breaker. A phone with support for quick charging is also a nice plus.
>budget Not a concern. I am due for an upgrade in two weeks and on top of that I don't pay for my my phone. Daddy warbucks does while i'm at university
>size Currently have an LG V10 and I quite like the larger screen. I also like the size of my gf's iphone 7 plus but I will not get an iphone.
I am currently leaning towards S8 plus as it seems to be getting raving reviews all over the internet.
Leo Torres
Actually that's really not a bad idea at all.
How much do you reckon i could sell an iPhone 5S for now?
Hunter Bennett
£100 maybe, I'd check eBay and Gumtree etc. to get a better idea what people are selling theirs for

Seems like Redmi Note 4 with a giffgaff £12pm SIM will be just fine.
Carter Thomas
>buy new sim only plan a while ago >€28 for unlimited minutes/texts and 5gb data >because its at the ISP i already have i get €5 off and double everything >get an email last week they're doubling data for all their plans and up the price for new plans >tfw i get 20gb for €23 a month now
p sweet i don't know how this compares to other countries
Daniel Smith
>I want performance. I don't want my phone to slow down after a couple months. I would like to be able to root and load a custom rom Wouldn't get a Samsung then, even with a SD835 the S8 still has lag and their phones are a real pain to unlock/root. Wait for the OP5.
Ayden Bennett
>Redmi Note 4 make sure you get the Global version with SD625 and B20 (800mhz)
Oliver Morgan
I'm on a Moto G5 right now and had Nougat out the box
Aiden Cruz
>not still using the best moto
Hudson Powell
After looking over the released specs it looks very promising as far as performance goes (8 Gigs of ram!).
I think this is what i'll be watching out for, thanks user.
Jeremiah Bell
wow, thats really good. I bet its a shitload faster than my data ever was.

I bought a moto g5 plus to replace my donked nexus 6 and i fucking love the little thing but for some reason the backplate has a tiny black pockmark on it and theres a small scuff on the inside of the chrome bezel
does best buy sell open box merchandise as new or is this just because its a budget phone and the manufacturing isnt perfect, plus the packaging is just the phone sitting loose in a cardboard box?
Tyler Murphy
fug... I had technically "unlimited" data on boost, which is a mvno of sprint, but i couldn't get to 1.5 gb a month because it was so slow as to be unusable.
my metropcs is pretty quick, but we dont have as high of a limit as you do bro. jelly as fuck.
Brody Evans
I think the first option is more likely than the second. Also my Moto G5 was sitting in a cardboard holder thingy, not just loose in the box. Did yours have a protective film on the screen out of the box like pic related?
Asher Rogers
i'm so used to having fuck all data on 3g though i have no idea what the fuck i'm meant to do with 20gb a month
Hunter Thompson
>835 >stereo speakers >6"+ >pure Android

Landon Mitchell
once i got Metro, and actual decent speeds, i used it for Spotify when I'm in the car. i use the shit out of it.
Leo Ramirez
>tfw I pay 20€ for unlimited minutes, texts and data
Jeremiah James
Just got a Xperia Z2. Its branded, so I'm going to flash it. Which Android version should I use?
I remember 4.2 was pretty good, it turned shittier from then.
Eli Bennett
What's a good $160-$180 phone? I'm coming from a MT6752 phone from 2 years ago with an Antutu of 42K, I'm hoping to get something more powerful. An SD 625 like Redmi Note 4 is a bit weak since it's only 62K. It does not look like a decent upgrade. Is a Redmi Note 3 Pro better?
Jason Peterson
The Apple iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have this problem.
Ryder Richardson
What are your biggest deal breakers when choosing a smartphone?
For me: >lack of audio jack >fingerprint sensor on the back >battery less than 3000mAh
Wyatt Carter
No, there isn't any noticeable difference in performance between the RN3P and RN4. Look at SD820 powered phones such as ZUK Z2 or LeEco Le Max 2
Isaac Diaz
>no FM radio It's easily the most underrated feature on a smartphone >slow charging >no moto camera/flashlight gestures >no samsung multi window >slow camera speeds
Noah Ramirez

Just posted this in /csg/ lads.
Is there an updated guide on Chinkphones?
Have a 2 year old HTC M9 that's still doing well, but I fancy a change.
Looking to spend about $250, but the guide hasn't been updated in months.
Lucas Ward
It's so fucking hot in germany right now but thanks senpai
Brody Jackson
Should I get Honor 8 or P10 lite?
Camden Ward
>keyone still out of stock
fuck my life.
Lucas Brown
Hey grampa, by 2020 EU will shut down FM to have only digital radio.
Andrew Ross
I just got an android phone, I switched from windows shit, recommend me some must have apps, thanks senpai.
Robert Torres
redmi 4x
Gabriel Adams
Your best bet was htc but they fucked up once again.
Axon 8 maybe but it won't have stock android unless you flash it.
Juan Kelly
Clover for Sup Forums
Parker Morales
Moto G 5 plus vs Moto G 4 Plus?
G 5 plus is 25% more expensive where I live.
Hudson Kelly
Honor 8
Adam Smith
Yeah because it have no Android at all lmao ebin :----DDDDD
Xavier Green
Both 4gb/64gb? G5 Plus is worth the extra cost
Adam Flores
Both 32gb
Nicholas Perez
>lack of audio jack I don't really listen to enough music on my phone for this to be a problem for me personally
>fingerprint sensor on the back not an huge issue if there's double tap to wake
>battery less than 3000mah the battery life also depends on how power efficient the SoC is among other things, but generally yeah, 3000mah is probably near the bare minimum I'd go for too
Main deal breakers for me: >bootloader isn't unlockable / phone isn't rootable >no custom ROMs available
Jacob Murphy
2 or 3gb RAM?
Jaxon Bell
thanks
Jacob Robinson
My upgrade is due in a couple of months. I'm on sprint so my choices are Samsung S8+, HTC U11 ultra, or blackberry KEYone. I've only ever had blackberry, htc, and samsung phones. I was thinking of a Sony phone but there's none on sprint. What are my upsides/downsides to going unlocked?
Tyler Wright
My understanding of how Sprint works is you can't get any unlocked phone to work with them since the IMEI has to be manually whitelisted and they only do that to phones purchased from them.
Logan Thomas
Both 2gb
Angel Martinez
Forcing me to switch is a dealbreaker. And Sony phones just look so nice. Does that disqualify the OP5 too?
Grayson Ramirez
Still G5 Plus then
Yes it does
Easton Watson
So then it comes to specs and root accessibility. I can give up on that with the KEYone but that one has minimal bloat and the blackberry features. The S8+ is the sequel to my S7 Edge. I've kept this one stock running a different launcher because KNOX and samsung security features. My last HTC was the M8 and I rooted the shit out of that. I know HTC has dev tools and their UHOH protects rooted phones as long it wasn't the root or derived features that caused the claim (at least it did when I had the M8).
David Roberts
Why G5?
Liam James
Better camera, battery life and performance. It's newer so it'll get android updates longer. Doesn't overheat like the G4 does
Ryder Anderson
>HTC U11 Ultra Do you mean HTC U Ultra or HTC U11? (those are two different phones)
Blake Clark
The physically larger one. After I got used to larger phones I don't enjoy the smaller ones.
Jonathan Smith
Honestly don't think the U Ultra is worth it anymore now that U11 is out. There isn't a huge difference in size either, ones 5.7" and the other is 5.5"
Asher Martin
Is LG G6 a good upgrade from Nexus 6? Looking to upgrade my phone prob around October, any size and budget is fine, battery dies quick when i use Nexus 6 had it for 3 years now, any suggestions?
Christian Bailey
Whats a good, cheap Android phone I can buy for TMobile? I've got a Lumia 950xl and MS almost bricked my phone this morning with an accidental update and I'm seriously considering jumping ship to Android after 6 years on WP. Just need some help and advice because I know next to nothing about good Android phones.
Brody Ross
No, and by October plenty of other phones will be out. Essential, Pixel 2, U11.
Tyler Martin
How cheap?
Luis King
Depends. I'm looking for one that I can kinda fuck around with at the moment to get used to it and figure out the feel. My buddy has an HTC Desire 530 that I really like, but I dont believe its for TMobile.
Jackson Sanders
Im looking for something that wont be my main phone unless it works MILES better than my current one, which I doubt will happen, but if it does i'll roll with it. This is probably going to be my last WP and I just want to last the rest of the contract
Nathaniel Moore
If you have Amazon prime you can get a BLU R1 HD for $60 or a Moto G4 Play for $100. They come with lockscreen ads but it's pretty trivial to remove them. Another option is to just have Best Buy price match Amazon.
Adam Gonzalez
Enjoy your boot loop. LG can't bother to pay more than $.2 for thermal paste in your $500+ device.
Blake Moore
If you'd followed the conversation from the beginning you'd realise we're talking about Motorola, not LG
Parker Foster
I like the right side more
Luis Nelson
Im looking at the BLU one but it's listed as $100 for prime members. I don't know if I have to actually have prime for it to list it at the different price, or maybe its because we're in separate countries
Jacob Foster
Retard.
Owen Miller
If they were so good why they filled bankruptcy having to sell to Lenovo?
Kevin Mitchell
Well meme'd, friendo.
Luke Wood
Because their old phones (before Google bought them) were crap
Aaron Jackson
I would take it personal but then I remembered you are either Indian, Brazilian or a neet.
