My Nexus 5x bootlooped on me the other day. Received a replacement but I'm almost certain that it's going to happen again. Looks like it's time to upgrade.
Essential phone Pixel 2
Thoughts on phones close to vanilla Android?
Joshua Gutierrez
About to pull the trigger on a Redmi Note 4X
Should I?
Current phone is a Redmi Note 3 Pro
Zachary Cox
I almost did, but the lacking US band support had me get the Honor 8 instead
I checked it on one of those sites and it looked like it would work fine.
I'm on Straight Talk in the US.
Now I'm not sure if i should get it...
I guess I will look into it more
Robert Anderson
It's too small of a difference. Only if there's something wrong with your current one.
Jack Mitchell
I have the low end one with 2GB of ram, which causes some minor inconviences.
However, the screen has a deadspot and a ever-growing line of yellow going down the right side. So I figured an upgrade is called for
Christopher Mitchell
Keep in mind that there's different versions of the Note 4 / 4X
Chase Bell
So based on that info and my carrier using the following bands:
1900, 1700 abcde, 700 bc
Should the international version work fine for me?
Bentley Ramirez
Phone overheated (felt it, and got temp warning that locked me out) a few days ago and since then hasn't been able to charge. Buying new phone in the next couple of days.
How far behind is the gentoo wiki on portables? Looks like the most recommended phone there is Google Nexus.
I've only had two phones over the course of 15 years or so, assuming I take good care of my devices what's the most reliable/long lasting device nowadays? USA/Verizon/not picky on features but prefer Android/hopefully $500 or below/don't care about size
Leo Martinez
No you mong. you won't even get 3G, not to mention 4G. you'll be stuck on 2G forever. don't be a retard, those phones are for Asia and Europe only.
Andrew Wright
Essential Phone DOA confirmed
Jordan Garcia
How is the RN3P working? If that works then the Note 4 should work too.
Wrong. The Global version gets 3G and 4G on certain US carriers
"I use the RN4 Global on Net10, which for all intents and purposes is the same thing as Straight Talk. Just get the BYOP SIM kit for either AT&T or T-Mobile phones and it'll work fine.
The RN4 Global has full 3G and partial LTE support on AT&T (YMMV, I get LTE in my area just fine).
It has only has partial support for both 3G and LTE on T-Mobile, but full 2G support."
I'm tempted to buy a Zuk Z2 Pro, but I'd have to import it from China, and I'm wary of doing this. If there's something wrong with my phone it means I'll have flushed almost 300€ right down the toilet.
Are there any phones with comparable features, performance and pricing that are available from European sellers?
Hunter Taylor
Need to replace my smart phone ASAP and looking for something reliable between 200-300 USD.
Honestly I rarely use smartphone features, but want reliable GPS (which I'm sure is easy/a non issues) and Internet access that is dependable enough whenever I do decide to use it.
I'm in the united states and w/ AT$T

How bad is LG G6 battery? Is it enough of a drawback to justify not buying it? Would flashing a custom newer 7.1 ROM impact much on battery's life?
Gavin Cook
Hopefully they're waiting on Android O at this rate

Leo Powell
I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Sprint sometime in the next few months. Anyone know if they will allow me to use a Xiaomi phone on their network? I'm looking specifically at the Mi Max 2.
Luke Jackson
No, chinkphones won't work on Sprint
Jordan Foster
DOA if true
Elijah Wood
any1 using huawei phones? Thinking about the nova if the nokia 7 turns out to be shit. Are they good? Huawei isn't very good with updates I heard.
Matthew Price
Is there something like the Redmi Note 4 with chinkshit iOS clone software like MIUI? 5.5" display with FHD resolution is what's required, as well as Band 20 support. Budget around 200-300 euro.
Logan Thompson
>without chinkshit iOS clone software
I know I could install Pajeet's buggy AOSP or Lineage build on it but I don't really care about fucking with ROMs anymore.
Henry Davis
Nokia 6
Landon Cook
The battery is decent but not outstanding if you use it as a phone, if you're a heavy poweruser that's on it for hours with WiFi, Bluetooth, background sync, gps, and all that shit turned on then it won't last you the whole day. Getting a custom ROM can help remove bloat but it won't make the battery last drastically longer.
Evan Evans
MIUI is OK though (apart from Google bloat, but every phone has it).
Chase Davis
huawei is not honest on making smartphones
> Huawei P10 and P10 Plus use different flash memory component on their devices. While some recorded read and write speeds for UFS 2.1, others got speeds for UFS 2.0 and the rest recorded eMMC 5.1 speeds. > Huawei CEO spoke on the matter via his Weibo account and revealed that shortages in supply led to the use of eMMC flash memory in some units.
Meh. the SD430 is a lot slower than the CPU on my 2 year old S5 Neo. Plus the battery is retardedly small. Oh well.
Nope, MIUI is compromised in multiple ways (compromised notification system, retarded RAM management, iOS-isms, compatibility issues)
Zachary Phillips
>Live in TJ >Go to San Diego to buy my electronics directly without paying any damn import fees or buy online and send straight to my P.O. Box
Feels good man
Eli Richardson
>a lot slower No it isn't, both SoCs consist of eight A53 cores and the Adreno 505 GPU on the SD430 performs better than the Mali T720 in the S5 Neo
>battery is retardedly small how is 3000mah that?
Oliver King
>retarded RAM management turn it off in developer options >iOS-isms Examples? Never used apple anything. >compromised notification system >compatibility issues Works on my machine (TM) Though I heard that some people have problems without turning MIUI optimization off in Developer options.
Robert James
>No it isn't
600/2500 vs 700/3200 Geekbench score. Graphics are irrelevant since both GPUs are too slow for any real 3D games, though simple ones work fine on both.
Lucas Brooks
Should I choose "unlocked" or my carrier when I buy a HTC U11?
Also, do I really need 6GB of RAM?
Jason Ortiz
>do I really need 6GB of RAM? That's bare minimum for a Pro-Am mobile shitposter
Carson Nelson
yes, of course you need it goy
Jordan Ross
my mom only lets me have 2GB.
Joseph Russell
Wouldn't call that a lot slower, doubt you'd notice any difference in real life, especially since the Nokia runs completely stock android vs touchwiz on the Samsung
Also, the GPU isn't only for games, it's also used to render the UI and webpages for example so a better GPU will mean a smoother phone.
>same page >title and text >one says to be launched >other says to be unveiled when the fuck is it going to be available?
Chase Butler
I need: great camera, and great battery life.
CPU/GPU speed and shit I don't care about, nor do I want 4K screen.
what do?
currently waiting to see what the Nokia 8 ends up being
Kayden Gonzalez
buy a camera
Justin Miller
already have one. but I want a good one that is always with me
Leo Turner
Looking to upgrade from my tmobile sidekick 3 is the xiaomi mi max 2 any good I like how big the screen is and the long battery life.
Zachary Clark
What is the difference between Mediatek and Qualcomm chipsets on the redmi note 4? I'm going with the Qualcomm snapdragon version but it has 3gb RAM instead of 4, 32 instead of 64 GB storage and the price is the same
Robert Richardson
Are these HTC headphones a meme or are they actually good?
easily the best headphones to get in box with a phone which is a low bar but even on their own they're pretty good.
Juan Garcia
It's been a long time since I don't come here, what's the new redmi note 3?
Jose Kelly
Redmi Note 4 Global
Matthew Walker
4 gigs of RAM or 6 gigs? Do I invest in the meme?
Matthew Ortiz
for what? facebook and whatsapp?
Noah Torres
This will be a beyond stupid question, but has anyone rooted their Redmi Note 4 ? Is it still safe to do it now without bricking it ?
Connor Lopez
>Meh. the SD430 is a lot slower than the CPU on my 2 year old S5 Neo. Plus the battery is retardedly small. Oh well.
the SD430 isn't slow. it's only slow when paired with a 1080p display
Liam Torres
All the normie apps basically, no games.
Oliver Hughes
then do what you want, just dont call that an 'investment'
Hudson Smith
PAY MORE GOY
Camden Morgan
I have a Nokia 6 and it seems ok. Keep in mind I only use my phone for texting and music, but at least the UI didn't lag like my old phone.
Asher Sullivan
What android phone has the best camera?
Also, is the Samsung Note 8 gonna blow all other phones out the water?
Jackson Hall
The GPU on the SD430 is more than enough for 1080p
Jeremiah Green
>best camera Currently it's probably between S8, HTC U11 and Pixel
James Martin
objectively speaking, the u11. but other phones are really close to the point where it almost doesn't matter.
Adam Cox
>This will be a beyond stupid question Yes >but has anyone rooted their Redmi Note 4 ? Yes >Is it still safe to do it now without bricking it ? Yes
Luke Martin
Mi note 3 seems like it will be the god phone. Hope I can upgrade my redmi note 3 pro to bezeless meme
Dylan Ross
I dont come here much and I dont know if this is the correct general, but I recently bought a Moto E4 Plus and was looking for root methods, I cant find a lot cause this phone is from june I think.
Also I havent rooted anything last 2/3 years just stuff like Kingo Root and stuff like that, is it really this easy now?
Jaxon Torres
Which is a better sub $300 unlocked phone? Galaxy s6 or moto g5plus Freedomfag btw
Nathaniel Flores
Today is the day my beloved s4 decided it... Didn't want to S4 100 percent correctly. It's... Ribbon... Broke. Hopefully it's successor won't have this dubious fate, and hopefully the S4 won't mind porn duty too bad.
Christopher Perry
How are the midrange phones today not any better than the Nexus 5 that was only $400 on launch day in 2013
Noah Mitchell
>I need: great camera, and great battery life. > >CPU/GPU speed and shit I don't care about, nor do I want 4K screen. I also really want a phone like that to be made. Don't feel like overpaying for shit I don't need. But now I think about it Nokia 6 has flagship-tier camera and is ~200USD so it will meet your needs as long as the battery lasts for a long time. Sadly I don't remember how good it is in this aspect.
Kevin Hughes
I got a really shitty Samsung S5 a while ago and i'm really beginning to hate it Want to switch to a different android phone, i'm in italy, any suggestions? Don't want to spend more than 300 euros though
Nathan Brown
Phones with fuckhueg sensor and low-ish resolution (max 8MP) when? We are finally at that point with other components that with good enough camera I could buy one phone and keep it forever (read: until developers get even lazier and add even more bloat to apps and websites).
I've been getting 5-6 hours screen time per charge. Plus several hours of listening to music.
Jackson Sanders
They are. Nexus 5 has trash battery life and below average camera
Brody Hernandez
J5 2016
How shit is it?
Jacob Johnson
If the Redmi 5 prime isn't SD630, 3GB ram, 1080p 5 inch display, greater than 70% screen to body ratio, greater than 4000mAh battery, and support micro sd then xiaomi can get fucked.
Nicholas Jackson
Zuk Z2 Pro gets around 6 hours SoT if that's good enough for you and the camera is pretty kick ass. In between Samsung s6 and s8 quality images.
Grayson King
Nexus 5 had a nice camera, battery life was shit and screen had yellow tint though.
Hudson Allen
What is the best android keyboard? I can't use this Huawei shit
Eli Long
4 entire years and that's all these Jews improved? Whoop de doo, Basil
Jacob Cook
i just bought my first Android phone. Not an iphag, I just always used Skype until they pulled support for the psp/vita version. Why does my phone browser require permission to take photos and record video in order for me to have permission to launch the browser? If I download Firefox or some other browser, is it still going to do this shit or is it just the default Android browser that insists on being able to record me while I'm on the web?
Michael Bell
gboard is calm
Landon Campbell
>had Yes, it was fine in 2013 but even most midrange phones will take better pictures now
did I say that was all? A 2017 midrange phone is better in practically every way compared to a Nexus 5.
Brandon Sanders
It started working really shitty on my previous phone after a while
Joshua Lewis
Is it worth upgrading a Oneplus One? Still getting decent battery life (5/6 hrs SOT).
Only gripe now after having it for 3 years, is that the camera is shite.
