Any news on how the new Kirin in the Huawei Mate 10 will match up to the SD835? Hearing the CPU side will be competitive but GPU still far behind Qualcomm's offerings

Any cheap AMOLED chink phone?
Looking for a new phone. Max price 200 euro/dollar. Redmi note 4 is awesome but I'm searching for an AMOLED screen.

Had my Nexus 5X for a year.
>Phone was sold at a good price, but between needing to replace the stock charger because of the cable not being compliant and needing to buy USB-C cables it was less of a bargain than I thought >Heats up randomly for no reason >Kick ass camera, too bad I rarely take pictures >Stock android has good performance and okay battery life, but I missed the convenient features that a custom ROM provides >Recently rooted, installed a custom ROM and kernel. Not fully satisfied with the ROM but liked it better than stock. Custom kernel with a custom profile helped the battery life by 33% and keeps the phone cool unless it's playing videos/gaming >2GB was meh, but I am not a heavy multitasker and I don't use splitscreen >Hasn't faced the dreaded boot loop, yet.
I am constantly afraid of the phone bootlooping out of nowhere. If not for that it would be an excellent phone. Last time I am buying anything from Google since it seems like they are not going back to midrange phones.

I didn't read anything about phones for a few years. I got a moto G from... 2014 maybe ? I think it's time to have something new.
is there a phone

Reposting from last thread.
Ausfag here, want to buy a phone with a budget of $500 AUD. Gonna be using it for web browsing, music and some gaming (maybe set the bar at being able to run Fate/Grand Order but I can live without it). A decent camera would be nice but it's not important. Storage space is useful but can be sacrificed for performance, SD slot would be nice. Would prefer it run android 7.
A friend recommended the Moto G5 Plus. I was gonna use Aldi as the carrier since they're cheap as fuck.
Xavier Bennett
Op3t, for what I can see it's 70$ more than your budget, but you could get the g5+ if that suits your needs too, it has decent performance and a decent camera
Jaxson Jackson
a girl has literally never talked like that
Jack Kelly
Meizu Pro 6 plus.
Uses a Samsung Exynos 8890 processor so it's fast and efficient.
Sebastian Gutierrez
lg v10 or galaxy note 4?
Eli Taylor
Is Lenovo p2 the ultimate chinkphone? It costs a little bit more than a Redmi 4 Note but the battery is bigger (5100 vs 4100) and the screen is AMOLED
Logan King
wow the galaxy J7 leak looks great
Caleb Collins
Just recently got a chink phone, Vernee Apollo Lite. I am really happy with it, just a big shame no custom roms and android 7.x

Checked but seems like it has lots of problem with overheating and batterydrain in that rom, so don't want to try my luck.
Asher Perez
iPhone SE is your best bet, Xperia X Compact or Galaxy A3 2017 if you prefer to stay with Android.
1) The most compatible smartphone out there, so I have some burner phones for my friends when theirs break.
2) The best bang-for-your-buck phone I can get with an unlockable bootloader and good overall specs.

Country/carrier/budget?

So, what's the next best option? Is something like copperhead on a chinkphone feasible?

What did you upgrade to?
My lg g3 is still goin strong after almost 4 years, warranty replaced some part in the motherboard when the screen was going red for some reason and then I had to buy a new battery as well, recently the top of the touchscreen has been going wild randomly but i keep forgetting about it when it stops

Went from a G3 to a Meizu M3X after BSOD. Love this phone. Only major issue is 32gb storage and no SD but 32GB is enough for me (barely).
Better than when I had to make do with 16gb on my Nexus 4, that's for sure.

upgraded to a OP5 downgrade in the screen res, but i don't see a difference. oled is so pretty as well.

Don't know if my Q was answered in the previous thread, but does anyone know of a good qi charger?

Pretty much any samsung phone in europe comes with dual SIM potential and wireless charging.
Juan Miller
Install the proper USB drivers for your phone on your PC
Matthew Roberts
Only Note and S-series phones have wireless charging.
Moto Z phones support wireless charging with the style shells

all other phones connect without them and it did before with mine too

SD660 phones when
Xavier Cook
So fucking what?
Install the fucking drivers you stupid cunt. Once you've done that and it STILL doesn't work we can try something else, it's called troubleshooting.
Christian Cruz
suggestions for an upgrade from my lg G3? Only requirements are that is must have a removable battery, and must have a decent dev community on XDA
Ryan Wright
Dunno, depends on their budget. But there's plenty Samsung phones that aren't S or Note.
Thomas Lewis
Sure but if you're asking for wireless charging and dual sim capabilities, you should already know the majority of cheap phones aren't going to have the features you're asking for.
All that really leaves are the S series and the Notes.
Jaxson Sullivan
LG G5 or V20. That's pretty much it. Moto G5 has a removable battery too but that can't really be considered an upgrade from the G3.
Jose Jenkins
>you should already know I do, but the guy who asked might not, which is why it doesn't make sense to say "pretty much any samsung phone" when in truth it's only the S and Note series.
Andrew Parker
I have the one the one they sold with the s7, works well
Nathan Brown
Since Moto G5+ isn't available here in Philippines, which will give me best bang for buck:
Nokia 6 Xperia XA1 Huawei GR15
Andrew Jackson
Which would be best if my priorities are camera, screen quality and battery life. Xperia xz premium or Samsung Galaxy S8?
Caleb Taylor
The s8 has a great screen and Samsung cameras have been very good all the way back to the note 3.
As far as battery life both the Xperia and Samsung will be seeing average. The only phones these days with insane battery life are old ones with sub 1080p screens and old chipsets.
>Inb4 Samsung shill
I have an LG V20.
Grayson Cox
The Samsung seems like the better choice for me. But fuck that bloatwear and I'm paranoid they'll release updates slowing it down when their new flagship gets released
Jaxon Brooks
I have a Note5, it's 2 years old as of a week ago and it's still pretty damn smooth, the only thing that really bogs it down is opening 4 or 5 apps at once and switching back and forth between them often. Sometimes an app will need to reload, or it'll stutter for a second or two when switching.
But outside minor stuff like that it's still fast as hell 2 years down the line
Jaxon Wright
Nokia or Sony
Isaac Kelly
Xiaomi
Ayden Walker
oh yeah, it also just got the August security update a few days ago and has gotten every monthly security update for the past year or so.
Michael Adams
Samsung has drastically cut down on the overall bloat that their phones had/have. Most of the complaints weren't so much the pre-installed apps as it was how slow TouchWiz is. Samsung stepped up their game and made TouchWiz a bit lighter. So lag and such should be non-existent
As for updates slowing down the phone, no. When I had my note 3, it ran like a top all the way up until they stopped supporting it at 4.4.2. To this day, the phone still works flawlessly.
Grayson Cruz
S8 is better out of the two but if you want something less bloated might be worth it to wait for Pixel 2 or LG V30. Considered HTC U11?
Angel King
>HTC U11 >Pixel 2
>no 3.5mm jack
no thanks
Mason Campbell
>HTC U11 No trolls please, this is a serious thread.
Asher Diaz
>So lag and such should be non-existent But it isn't though
>Of all the current generation high-end phones that I have used (and I’ve used most of them), the Galaxy S8 and S8+ have the worst performance when it comes to scrolling and smoothness of UI. Even though the LG G6 and the Google Pixel have the previous-generation Snapdragon 821 processor, they fare better in this regard. Much cheaper phones from Xiaomi have a smoother UI as well.
>Actual in-app performance on the Galaxy S8 is not great. The Google Pixel raised the bar for what smooth Android performance looks like, and the Galaxy S8 just can't keep up. In the above picture you see Android's built-in GPU profiler mode. Each vertical line is the time it takes to draw a single frame, with the horizontal green bar representing 60FPS. Bars under the green line rendered in time, resulting in smooth 60FPS scrolling. Bars that overshoot the line took too long to render, resulting in a stutter in the UI animation.
>Even in the lowest resolution possible—1480×720—the Galaxy S8 still drops a ton of frames when scrolling complicated apps like the Play Store. The highly optimized Google Pixel—at its full 2560×1440 resolution—is easily getting frames in on time. And even if things do slow down, there's a sizable amount of render time still.
>No matter what resolution you pick on the Galaxy S8, scrolling (especially scrolling slowly) has this weird stutter to it and a slight ghosting effect. Not everyone is sensitive to small performance issue like this, but if you are, you'll find the S8 a little unpleasant to use. I wish Samsung focused more on optimizing the whole display and GPU stack to hit 60FPS and run more smoothly, rather than adopting the raw benchmark focus the company seems to have now.
Kevin Howard
Wow. No shit. I mean I knew Samsung phones were a tad heavier with the GUI, but that's embarrassing.
LG looks like a much better choice then. Or Pixel line if you can stand no microSD.
Logan Morgan
>Higher CPU usage at lower resolutions That image doesn't prove shit, everyone knows the link between resolution and CPU usage.
David Walker
I have an HTC one should I upgrade to the new one?
Gavin Fisher
It's not CPU usage, read the article
Tyler Torres
I was looking at it but like everyone in the thread is saying the lack of headphone jack is a deal breaker
Samuel Walker
But is it a deal breaker for YOU?
Hunter Martinez
It's really not that good of a phone to be honest.
Tried it. Returned it. Bought an S8+ instead for the sexy bezels and bigger screen which is great for emulation.
Christian Lewis
It is for me, and I'm a big guy.
Wyatt Parker
I guess the Sony is the better choice then. It seems to be better in every way other than the camera that has a lot of noise with the lack of OIS
Yes, why give up my wired headphones or use a converter cable that lowers the sound quality?
Aiden Williams
>or use a converter cable that lowers the sound quality? To be fair, there is no reason this has to be the case, USB type-C supports analog signal passthrough in the specification, all the manufacturer would have to do is keep the headphone amp and DAC and allow the passthrough.
Then you just get a passive adapter cable. No sound quality loss whatsoever.
