Why does people praise pixel yet bash op5 camera even though they both use eis

That looks pretty tasty honestly

/fit/ pls go

>use eis
>totally different cameras

kys

Why EIS on OP5 works only for one camera, while the telephoto lens is unstabilized? It should be the other way around.

paid anti-Oneplus shills

why do people praise BMW yet bash dacia even though they bot use wheels????????

Different sensors, different software, different results.
>every negative comment on the OP5 is by an anti-OnePlus shill
OnePlus shill detected

Checked

Samsung s8 for $425, should I pull the trigger?

I followed the hype train on 1+5 but all the mixed reviews have turned me off but I'd still consider it if the retail units are well reviewed by non shills

Thats the point dumbass

The point is that people shouldnt bash the op5 because it has a different camera? you literally retarded nigger?

Fuck no Sup Forums hates Samsung

Reposting cause no one answered last thread.

I'm still on CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4. I'm not throwing money into a new phone but I do need to switch OS since CyanogenMod was discontinued.

Looking at LineageOS but are there any other better alternatives out there that I should check out?

>Phone you have
>Is bigger than your dick
>age/sex

it wont come off. wat do Sup Forums?

how you nigger???

Those are selling for $599 on ebay

you could probably buy it at that price and sell it in a year for almost the same price

it's a good phone, go for it

I want a new high end phone but I am worried about having a $700 fragile laptop in my pocket, I am worried I will break it.

Paying $10+ for insurance seems crazy to me though, but let's face it accidents happen, shit gets stolen etc...

what do you guys with high end phones do regarding protecting the phone? Just carry it and don't worry?

Case and hardened screen protector unless you have a lolsamshit

>Case and hardened screen protector unless you have a lolsamshit
yeah I want one of those curve screen samsungs but I hear they are basically unfixable if broken

what do

Get a better phone obvo

Is it a bad idea to buy a 3t off amazon right now with the 5 being only a few days away?

>only a few days away

God, please destroy all this normies on this fucking retarded board.

calm down son

Are you fucking stupid or just dumb?
People praise pixel with worse cam,bash op with better cam,both have eis.fucking americuck

is a pixel more durable or repairable?

>pixel with worse cam
>op with better cam

AHAHAHHAHAHAH

curryniggers really doesnt know

No, I shill for the Essential

Come back after doing some reading lmao americuck

>OP releases device
>ESL posting increases on spg
:thinks:

Senpai, I came from a note 2 before the z3c.
Personally, I was rooting for smaller and smaller phones in the 2000s, seeing the average get bigger and bigger, but bring no utility with it like a note with its pen doesn't appeal at all to me.
And I'm not on my phone 24/7, being a media hog and having the best processor isn't that big of a deal for me. The performance from the 2012 note 2 is plenty for what I do.


Since the last thread pretty much died not long after I posted, here it is again
For now, are the Galaxy A3 2k17 and the Xperia X Compact the only sub 5" android phones that aren't terrible available in the US?
I've got a z3 compact and I want to get something a bit more up to date.

and just for this meme

at least 2gb or more of ram, expandable storage, decent low light camera, long battery life

I bet youre the type of faggot on Sup Forums eat anything that google shit out with extreme pleasure

which reading do I have to do?
You are the one who doesnt know that the Pixel has the second best Cam on the market.

Dont you have to stalk underage girls on Facebook pajett?

Just bought a samsung galaxy A520F (2017).
Seems pretty dope, its my first samsung, did i fuck up?

I haven't bought a phone in 4 years, and I'm out of the game. I'd like to have physical navigation and home buttons (rather than software buttons), and I really don't like the idea of a non-standardized aspect ratio. With that in mind, the S8 and G6 are out. Would an S7 Edge still be a decent buy? It seems like it has what I want. Are they're any other phones I should consider? Perhaps something newer?

No one cares what you think or bet you retarded currynigger

NO
ONE

What you are on about you inbreed shitskin?
The Op5 doesnt even has OIS

Apple Care + is given free for students this summer

Yup, A3 2017 and X Compact, that's it.

>which reading
This obviously wasn't written by a native English speaker

you got me
now fuck off

Oneplus 5, HTC U11, Huawei P10

EIS is horrid bullshit, OIS matters and provides much better image quality because it moves the actual camera sensor physically to compensate for motion, EIS is shuffling the actual sensor data around aka image processing aka it suffers for it.

They had to cut corners with the OnePlus 5 or else it would have ended up being yet another $750+ flagship so, some things are going to suffer because of that.

The Edge display is the worst gimmick ever, Samsung fucked up with their palm rejection software so you literally cannot hold the phone normally without activating the touchscreen.

Why do you explain that to him?

Pajeet doesn fucking care, he is here for shills and defending his favorite company just so he can fucking pump out two trillion custom roms youtube videos and how cool they are so subscribe please to him he has to feed his on street shitting family and has to save up for the next oneplus mastergud $600 phone coming next month also he is going to marry that girl he met yesterday on FB, donate

>the alternative was the p8 lite but 16GB internal drive seemd pretty shit

just wanted to add some context

Now's a good time to get a 3t if you wanted one since all the people who jump ship constantly are tossing theirs on swappa. Black ones aren't cheap but the grey and gold ones are

I carry it nude and no insurance unless I get it free from carrier (just cancel before the free period is over). Insurances are a scams (other than home, auto, health and life).

I need help trying to decide what to get, I had a S5 and its finally given up on me and I want a phone that works. All i use my phone for is music (spotify) and messenger. Any recommendations?

the cheapest android 4+ smartphone you can find?

what does 4+ mean?

Version

Got any suggestions? I really don't know whats good

So my phone decided to randomly shit itself or something. I'm getting "google service has stopped working", shit doesn't want to open, it's not synching. Tried some shitty google advice but nothing is helping, do I have to just factory reset?

xiaomi mi mix or mi6?

Okay Sup Forums given my situation/priorities why should I not get a OP5

>bloated OS non-removable apps are a big turn off (Samsung loses points here)
>I don't care about looks/bezels. OP5 design isn't a big deal.
>high quality audio output is important. Pocketnow says OP5 has better frequency response than s8
>I prefer big internal storage to SD card because I dislike the latency from SD cards. My music collection is only around 50 GB so 128 GB is enough for me.
>reviews have said OP5 has least lag of flagships

I'm on Verizon in the US. And OP5 128gb is cheaper than the G6 32 gb

Used S5? Not sure how much they go for

Moto G5 Plus

SuperSU or Magisk?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, maybe some bros will give you more suggestions

Reinstall GAPPs

Looks like you have mentaly set yourself for the OP5.

You wont even hear the difference between the different DACs

had similar issue, lots of apps crashing and now this morning it was stuck on the boot screen. Did a factory reset this morning and hasn't fixed anything

>I'm on Verizon
You can forget the OP5 then

>Reinstall GAPPs

I don't have root, can I still do it?

fuck.

I'm pretty sure that SuperSU was sold to some wierd ass chinese company that mines your data
Most people have jumped ship to magisk

They are completely different and not really comparable.
Mi6 is much more powerful and much smaller.

>you can get the Galaxy S8 for $420 unlocked if you trade in your phone
What's the catch?

Mi Mix is light years ahead, but suffers from being a proof of concept: spec wise isn't that great, and it's fragile as fuck, not counting the abysmal audio quality of the piezoelectric speaker.
Mi6 is decent enough if you don't mind it being a chinkphone parroting Apple's "remove features and let's call it innovation" design choices.

You aren't getting it for $425, you're using trade-in credit...

I wonder about this too.

What does Samsung get out of taking in old phones?

Is it worth to order xiaomi redmi note 4 32gb model or wait for 64gb model to come up.

It's 200USD off with 'eligible' phone.
Probably only phones that are worth a lot are eligible, like last year's flagships.

Yeaht hat makes sense.

I honestly don't get people who say that the S8 is cheaper than the OP5 when all they did was sell their old phone which they might as well could have used to money to get a cheaper OP5. WHat kind of logic is that?

Why wouldn't you sell it yourself? You would get much more money out of it and new one much cheaper.

Because Americans are lazy and if the store is offering to take it if your hands for a reasonable rate, they take advantage of it

But that's not reasonable price in anyway.

Why did you buy it user?

He forgot to mention that Americans are also incredibly stupid.

Hey, boysss!
So, I'm in need of a new phone, no Chinese stuff, I've had bad luck and experiences with them. Here's what I'm looking for:
-Decent Camera
-Has to be durable, I mean not a whole lot, just so the screen doesn't break if it slips out of my pocket type of deal, you know
-Expendable storage
-Reputable brand (NOT CHINESE)
-Headphone jack
-No fingerprint sensor
It's optional, but I'd like it to be small and what's really optional is it to have a removable battery.
Cheers, love you boys!

Can the Samsung s8 emulate the GameCube?

Nokia 3,5,6,

I did, laziness and stupidity go hand in hand

LG G4

How much of an improvement is the Moto G5 to the G4?

Screw it if Nintendo won't sell me a switch at it's real price I'll make my own fucking switch

Samsung s8 plus and don't activate the finger print reader

I am in dire need of a competent spreadsheet application for mobile devices

Need Help

excel

Is wireless charging something to want or just useless garbage?

Don't be dissin Dacia, fool.

he said durable my dude

Nokia phones US release when?

Today i dozed off in the bus and when i woke up i was several miles away from my usual stop, in a place i don't recognize even, however when i woke up i found a nexus 4 wedged between the seat, it had no sim card inserted but it was locked with a pin and it was running some kind of custom rom (turned it off and the boot animation had some masked green pig on it), i checked if it had a custom recovery and it does, so nuking everything, flashing a new rom on it (via adb push) and using it as a throwaway phone is gonna be easy as fuck, the question is, should i? It's obvious that the previous owner wasn't your average retarded normalfag, i'm scared that he put cerberus on it at root level and thus can take pictures of me jerking it to loli on my bed, all i've done with the phone so far is turn it off and put electrical tape over both cameras, just to be safe.

What do /spg/, do i throw it away? Do i keep it? I can't return it because it was locked and even if i unlock it it had no sim, so it clearly wasn't meant for calls and stuff, probably just casual web browsing, games and porn, no contacts, IMs and the like.

dude.... Zuk Z2 Pro ($400 on Amazon) on gaybest for $270 + free shipping? convince me not to pull the trigger

gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_462205.html

32GB (up to 22.9GB usable)

Oh, just fuck off, LG, with your 8GB+ bloated non-stock custom ROM. Jesus Cripes how can a stock ROM be so fucking bloated?

Depending on where you live, you won't get service

it says 3G and limited 4G for US AT&T, is that usable?

Meh, I wouldn't
If you want a decent chinkphone, get the LeEco LeMax 2
