Wily Fox Swift 2 / Motorola Moto E4 Which one Sup Forums?

>paying 800 dollaridoos for a device with no headphone jack, no storage expandability and no removable battery
>willingly getting cucked

Out of those two, Wileyfox. What's your budget?

>nexus 5 headphone jack got real finicky
>most new phones won't have headphone jacks

what kind of sick joke is this

What are the current flagship models from Sony?

Clove UK are offering a 2200mah Moto Mod powerbank with their Z2 Play
Delivered it's £386 but from Motorola it's £332 with a Unidays discount code
Would it be worth it at all trying to sell the power bank? I reckon I would struggle to get £50 for it

XZ Premium

S O N Y
H
I
T

Confirmed Satan's smartphone

Z2 Play isn't worth it, it's overpriced for the specs you get.

Redmi Note 4X

what would be better for the price or what would be better at those specs?

...

Well Moto G5 Plus and Moto Z Play have similar specs for ~£100 less, a Redmi Note 4 Global can be had for ~£120

For ~£350 you can get a LG G6, OP3T or Mi6 for example

Are there any other phones besides the Galaxy Note which have a stylus?

Are the newer motorola phones any good? I am anticipating the need to replace my moto g (3rd gen).

thanks, I'll have a look into them

where are you finding a LG G6 for £350? Cheapest I've seen is £550

eglobalcentral.co.uk/lg-g6-h870ds-64gb-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-white.html#/product/20539

LG does some
gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2015&sFreeText=Stylus

Currently have an iPhone 6S.

I upgrade in October and looking to get a new phone. waiting to see what the iPhone 8 brings (probs won't get it) and completely out of the loop on android phones, so what's out there/what will be out in time for my upgrade?

Needs to have a decent camera and around the size of the 7s plus/ s8 plus.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

which retard designed this
why can't they put capacitive buttons on that hueg bezel

why couldn't there be one single good file manager for android

There's many good file managers, you're just not looking hard enough

why would you recommend that? The S8 plus seems way better.

I'm not after the cheapest/compromise option, I'm after the best

name one

zarchiver

Ignore the Xiaomi shills, get the s8 or note 8, or you could wait for the LG v30

Please, ignore LelGee and Scamsung shills, sir. Xiaomi is the best choice

Ordered from eglobalcentral as well. Probably going to get cucked with some scratched botnet phone but hopefully not :^)

>eglobalcentral
Can't say I've heard a single good thing about them if there is any problem what so ever

Why are Sony phones so fucking ugly?

ur ugly

On the contrary I think they are the most stylish.

Any reason why USB-C isn't the standard these days?
Why are they still making micro-USB phones?

Because your eyes are broken.

I think it's becoming the standard with every new refresh but there's still a shit ton of budget smartphones (£300 or below) that are still being sold that haven't been refreshed.

Honestly I hope apple adopt USB C on the iPhone 8 so we don't have the bullshit USB C vs iPhone proprietary port bullshit again.

They ugly asf. so boring and boxy.

Because it saves 10 cents by using micro-B.

>t. SONY shills

I need a replacement for my Z Ultra, is Xiaomi Mi Max 2 good?

> Everyone I don't agree with is a shill

Yes, very good

What are the pros and cons of an XZ premium?

Femanon here
Wileyfox out of those two. Good track record of software updates and very little bload

Even though that probably not you, it looks exactly what I imagine a typical Sup Forums femanon looks like.

Fuck off Юлия

>tits
>gtfo

Please choose wisely

Hopefully gtfo

Exactly

Is there a list of phones which support mobile payments?
I can't find one

anything with NFC should be capable

Comfy OnePlus 5 desu desu desu

kys

You really want to see its tits?

I'm torn between the Moto X4 and the Xperia XZ1. Which one's better if price isn't an issue?

how do you get the speed in the notification bar

can someone tell me why the xz1 compact is expected to be 499 gpb???

Because it'll be a flagship phone, with SD835

I to want to know

lol good 1

>want to get new phone
>old Moto G2 still works fine and gets me throughout the day
>has no scratches or whatever
>can't justify spending money on no shit when I don't have an actual need for it

feels batmane

how can that possibly feel bad? Do you really want to give away your money to hook nosed kikes for 5% increase in facebook opening speed that badly?

I just upgraded from my original Moto G and even though I had semi-justifiable reasons I still feel guilty.

Kill yourselves

> my Moto G2 is still usable for my light use
> USB port is dying
> Jack has become fucked
> have to reload apps almost all the time because 1GB

Upgrade is on the way but the guilt for not using until it's very death is there

is the sony xperia x compact the CUTE phone we needed?

I need it.

Settings -> customization -> status bar -> toggle network speed on.

When is the bezel-free Sony phone going to happen? Wasn't there supposed to be one from Nokia too?

Just get a thinkpad you faggots. IPhones and ripoff Iphones are for teenage girls and you should be ashamed of yourselves

Please rec me a phone. (I'm willing to get a chinkphone if need be) and I don't care what OS it's using. Right now im using a samsung slide phone and the hinges are fucked
Requirements:
>Decent tactile keyboard(for touch typing)
>removable battery(so it lasts more than 2 years)
>micro SD card slot(for music)
>good sound quality (for calls)
>maybe a web browser?(not nescesary but would be nice if my laptop is dead)
>fits in pocket(I usually where loose-ish jeans so shouldnt be a problem)

You first

Some old Blackberry or Nokia. You're not going to find anything recent with those specs.

any ideas of which one? Also I'd prefer not to buy used if possible.

ah, it appears to be a Marshmallow thing

Sony Ericsson Hazel, the greatest brick phone ever made.

The Elm is a good substitute if you can't get hold of a Hazel.

Do people only get high-end phones with octa-core and all that shit merely to play games?

Like, I don't see any other reason why someone would get a potent device for other things. Browsing, watching videos, social network and shit are all incredibly light-weight tasks

You'll likely have to buy used, no manufacturer makes such phones anymore.

gsmarena.com/results.php3?idQwerty=1&idBatRemovable=1

It's for playing high end 3d games. SD835 is the best right now for 3d gaming

Most people don't buy high-end phones for the processors

So the camera quality?

Just upgraded to a g6 from the m7
. I am looking for a browser that had the radial menu when you would slide your finger in from off the screen. Also removed the url bar. I think it was an advanced setting but i cannot find it. Does anyone know what i am talking about

How do I get my Moto X Pure to work on Boost Mobile's Network
I have the Sim it looking for service connects to LTE then it gets disconnected after 10 secs.
Is it similar to Sprint way for connecting the X Pure?

Yeah, that's the main feature for normies.

mostly for bragging rights

I think he was asking why people in this thread buy high end phones not just the general public

I would like a mid-price phone with sd card or 128gb storage, FM radio, and decent battery life IS THAT TOO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK

No I'm on 7.1.1. it's an oxygen setting. What phone do you have?

OP2

Why do people still stick with Android when iOS is clearly superior?

iPhone doesn't have removable battery so you have to throw it out and buy a new one every 2 years

I dunno, why didn't anyone use Windows Phone, which was clearly the best platform of all.

because this is a consumerist technology board

Google your APN settings.

Does the G3 also suffer from bootloops ?

...

Oh man, the Moto X4 looks like the perfect mid range phone if the price is right, I've been looking at the G5+ but not having things like USB C, AMOLED and water resistance makes me put off when coming from a Oneplus 3.

Does anyone else plan on getting one? I'm really wondering what the price will be compared to the G5+, especially here in Europe.

Why do people stick to Fiats when Mercedes is clearly superior?

OnePlus 3T

Is the phone good? Long lasting?
