Is there a good sub 5" phone that isn't the iphone with its complete fucking garbage battery life or xperia compact with its 5 acres of bezels AND on-screen buttons to boot?
Aiden Evans
xperia x compact or oneplus x

I have deep hate for Google and the Botnet, and everytime I own an android phone I feel dirty, then when I flash a custom rom they are usually pajeet infested and I feel like I am holding a house of cards in my hands. I had a 5s once and it was pretty comfy, so I am debating on getting an iPhone 6S or a Redmi Note 4. I feel this is more a matter of needing therapy than asking on /spg/, but: Spend 150€ and feel dirty, disgusted and question my ethics, or Pay +350€ for a slab of soap that holds my hands while simultaneously ravaging my pockets?

Christopher Thompson
Anybody here using Lineage on a Redmi Note 4? Is the battery life better than on MIUI 8.5?
Elijah Smith
You are drinking the apple kool aid. Their aggressive marketing has been riding this meaningless "security" meme for quite a while now and you're a victim of it. Spend the money on therapy.
G6 has LCD, if you can get past that, it's a solid phone. Between s7e and g6, I'd rather have the g6, but I'm biased, I've had 2 older galaxy phones and after moving away I can't go back to touchwiz.
Kayden Martinez
Maybe she's taking a picture of the person taking her picture
My candidate for purchase is an exynos. That Sucks. But it seems some guy on xda made a hal wrapper for the stock camera to work on los.. So maybe there is hope.
Thanks for the opinions user. I'd buy the g6 but it seems it's camera is disappointing compared to other flagships. I'll decide tomorrow..
Camden Campbell
How is it meaningless? I work with very sensitive data. Everyone in my line of work (and we are only 540 in the whole country, very specialized law-related stuff) uses an iPhone (fitting in and peer pressue is a non issue to me, don't give a fuck). Government issues iPhones to everyone, police forces that do investigation issue iPhones to everyone. It must mean something, no? (Genuinely asking)
Nicholas Moore
You could try GSMArena's phone finder to look for a phone under 5 inches.
Wikileaks has shown there are FOURTEEN ios exploits that work on all iphones and how many celebrity nude scandals have we got with iCloud hacking by now again?
The point is, your phone is not any more secure than any other phone and your data is being harvested all the same. There is no such thing as privacy with a smartphone. Enjoy your ads.
Jackson Flores
>Government issues iPhones to everyone
They've had secured android phones since 2012.
Carson Hall
It's not meant to look beautiful. It's supposed to withstand work environments that are tougher than the average office.
Isaac Perry
>how many celebrity nude scandals have we got with iCloud hacking by now again? to be fair, this probably only happened because they had shitty passwords that could've been brute forced. The best security always begins with the user.
Austin Mitchell
The fact it can be bruteforced in the first place is already all you need to know about how laughable this "security" garbage is.
Benjamin Martinez
Is Malwarebytes the best android antivirus app despite it not having a premium version like AVG/Avast?
Grayson Edwards
Maybe their government is not your goverment
Tyler Powell
Then he is of little consequence as anyone who isn't american doesn't particularly matter.
That said, if picture quality is a major factor for you, Samsung is obviously going to be the best.
Jonathan Mitchell
Anti viruses are botnets
Just don't be fucking stupid and you don't need them
Ian Reyes
Which phone has the best camera and also has a micro SD card slot?
Alexander Jenkins
Battery life is always better on MIUI. Less bugs too. Understand that when you flash Lineage you agree that the battery, camera, microphone, and speaker quality will be worse, sometimes significantly so. It depends whether you value the price of freedom and full control over your phone instead of it fully working as intended.
Aaron Baker
Nothing wrong with the iPhone
Cooper Carter
s8/s8+/note
Kayden Thomas
Any phones that come with a free Russian qt?
Adrian Gomez
Red or blue?
Christopher Sullivan
the red, please
Carson Gutierrez
iPhone 6S is the best iphone made by apple. Battery, lots of storage choices, great camera, great screen, perfect size. I am going to be upgrading to the new one and I'm already crying a little to be getting rid of the 6S.
Samuel Evans
best case for the s8?
Angel Brooks
Except having no battery life worth a shit, which renders the entire device useless if it can't hold you through a day.
Oliver Allen
Why doesn't the Smartphone General have a pastebin or whatever with a list of approved and recommended apps
Michael Collins
>spending hundreds of dollars on a flagship phone >paying big money for the premium design, build quality and materials >and then slapping a shitty 10 dollar chunk of plastic on it Why? Try not dropping your phone you clumsy fuck
Xavier Rogers
you make a fine point. I really didn't want a case to begin with but thought it might be good insurance
Angel White

Bentley Murphy
squaretrade is good insurance
a case just says you're retarded.
Ryder Walker
Hello everyone, looking for some advice/opinions.
My brother wants to buy a phone. He made a list of phones he is interested in and the prices they are available at for him. The price range he selected is pretty clear, topping out at 300 euros at the most. He likes the Moto Z (Play) but he wants to know if any of the other ones might be a better (value) purchase.
What do you guys think is the "best buy" here and why? He has no specific requirements beyond it being a "nice, well-made phone" and for it to perform good.
Oh and one thing: not sure if you guys here like it or not, but, no Xiaomi phones are not available.
Juan Evans
What do you expect from the T-Mobile event on Sept. 6th?
Juan Russell
Just go ahead and remove both the HTC phones and the Samsung phone.
Caleb Martinez
I am seeing Galaxy S8s going for a little bit over 300 euros on ebay.de. Might be worth a try.
Matthew Adams
Can anyone help me out. Loading your battery everytime when its around 20-30% to 70-80% wont do any harm right?
Christian Garcia
*to add, 2/3 times a day
Luis Allen
Some new plan that may seem nice on paper but will somehow screw people over some how over the older plans.
Also probably showcasing the V30 since it will be the first device to support T-Mobile's new 600Mhz Spectrum as well as being the first to release it stateside for no money down.
As someone who used to work for Magenta, their planning for things are a little too predictable at times.
Jaxon Hernandez
how the fuck did i get in this board
Robert Hall
i have an s8 plus and i woyld like to know where the hell is my update to oero?
Benjamin Sullivan
What is that thing on he phone case
Alexander Nguyen
shin-chan
Wyatt Gomez
...are you a retard?
No phone has been updated to oreo yet, expect at least ~3-6 months before samsung pushes an update. In the mean time you'll get your monthly security updates like normal.
Josiah James
Thats the flare reflected off the lens surface from the sun while taking a ordinary selfie from the front facing camera.
Jordan Watson
Which one should I get?, I tried them both but I'm conflicted. The g5+ felt snappier but the a5 had better cameras (the g5+ is the 4gb variant btw)
Sebastian Clark
i bought an honor 6x and i still cant figure out why i wanted an 8 core phone
Hunter James
>have galaxy s6 >just noticed that gps and airplane mode can be toggled from lock screen
is there some way to disable this? if my phone gets stolen i dont want the thieves disabling location services or the phones data connection.
is there anything i can do about this?
Austin Reyes
Go to settings, then Lock screen & security, then go down to Secure lock settings, then make sure "lock network and security" is checked.
Lincoln Scott
Nope. Didn't you read what I posted yesterday? Although I wouldn't have patience with a phone that has such a shitty battery and would just charge it to 100%.
Z, Z Play or A5. He won't regret buying any of these. Unless he likes taking selfies. The A5's selfie cam is good, I don't know about the others.
Julian Long
Not that user but I want to do that on my Moto G5 (android 7) too and I can't find that anywhere in the settings
Blake Wood
Sorry, only reason I knew is I have a Galaxy Note5 which is identical to the galaxy S6 hardware (besides having 1GB more RAM).
Christopher Barnes
Why can phones still be turned off from a SECURE lock screen? The only option should be emergency call and nothing more.
Jose Scott
You should always be able to power off a device, even if locked.
I have my phone set to unlock with my finger print, but if I am ever pulled over I am turning my phone off immediately because courts have ruled a fingerprint isn't a password and police can force you to unlock your device without a warrant.
However with an encrypted device once it turns back on it requires a password be entered before it even starts the boot process into android. And once it's in android it requires a password be entered for the first unlock after a reboot before allowing finger print unlocks again.
Xavier Miller
That's all very good and all but you're assuming you'd have the chance to pull your phone out and turn it off
Ian Young
Best and nicest-looking weather app?
Owen Torres
is the recent apps list just that, or are all the apps in there actually running?
Adam Moore
My s8 does this.
Caleb Walker
Requesting purchasing advice.
Smallish phone. No or low-profile side buttons, dgaf about any physical buttons on the face. Water resistant at a minimum, would prefer IP68. Easily rootable OR ships with AOSP. SD card slot. User-replaceable battery a plus but not mandatory.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S5 Active, which I can't actually root because I can't install the Windows Media Center bullshit on my desktop that's necessary to install the Samshit KIES bullshit.
>US >AT&T
Basically I love everything about my S5 Active except for the fact it has so much non-removable bloatware I'm totally out of storage space with zero extra applications on it (all the shit I downloaded went straight to SD card)
Luke Morgan

Noah Reed
I never bought an unlocked phone before but when you activate a sim card on it will it download carrier bloat?
Nathaniel Brooks
No
Christopher Butler
I'm still rocking my oneplus one, and it's started to get a little dated.
I'm thinking about upgrading to the Oneplus Five. Anybody here have firsthand experience with it, is it worth the jump?
Cooper Ward
never even heard of the redmi what get iphone 6s and you've got a phone thats well supported in the future
Josiah Davis
Honor 8 or Moto Z play? I can get both for the same price but the Moto seems to be better on everything but the SoC and the camera. Is the performance difference that significant?
Elijah Anderson
Fug the V30 looks amazing. Hopefully they have a good trade in program
Michael Ramirez
Looking for a power bank. Is the Anker PowerCore a meme? It has hella good reviews on Amazon. Anything better?
James Davis
its legit, get the one with quick charge though.
Jonathan Martinez
You can buy a real NEW s8 for 400 bucks.
Joseph Cook
Performance should be fine on both, gaming might be better on the Honor 8 if you bother with that.
Christian Young
Opinions on xiaomi mi mix? Love the giant screen. Worth waiting for the apparently soon mix 2 reveal?
How is the Google Pixel? I'm still waiting to see if the Pixel 2 (or whatever they end up calling it) will be worth the wait, but how are the current Pixels in case the new one proves to not be worth the money?
Anthony Gutierrez
the only downside to owning a Pixel is that it's ugly and can't be dropped in water.
Joshua Jones

For some reason I found myself questioning why someone would even make such an image as what you posted. I've seen plenty of random shit, but this somehow takes the cake.
Oliver Nguyen
Just bought my first android phone, anyone feel like spoonfeeding me the best browser + add-ons? Already started using Firefox but don't like how you go back or forward a page
Isaac Hernandez
Id like to know some cool addons too im getting my first android phone on monday.
Josiah Jones
thats how all android browsers work genius
Luke Taylor
No they don't but okay pal. The basic default browser has the back/forward buttons on the bottom of the page, firefox doesn't and is a pain in the ass to do it on
Brayden Ortiz
theres Sup Forums's recommended apps in the wiki but its old as fuck now. even lists esfile explorer as a good file manager.
Andrew Butler
why have two back buttons instead of just using the one your phone already has?
Anthony Morales
And when I want to go forward?
Evan Ortiz
The major Android updates don't usually come out until the Nexus/Pixel phones do. You can get the beta now if you have a Pixel or Nexus phone. Stop your sperging.
Thomas Brooks
use the forward button in the top bar
William Peterson
USA MetroPCS Any phone that's rather large will do Anything below $700
It doesn't need any camera or audio quality, just something that's guaranteed to be smooth throughout the day, so preferably something with high RAM. Also, something with an enormous battery life.
