Anyone able to recommend a phone with a good camera? I previously had the LG G4 which had the best manual mode I've ever used in a phone. Considering the LG v20 since it's rather cheap now. It doesn't seem much worse than the v30 but it looks nicer than the LG G6 camera imo.

Anyone know why a phone could every once in a while shit out and for some reason be unable to wipe caches? It happens to mine like every few days and it's only solved by rebooting. I find out it starts happening when every single image fails to load in Clover for no apparent reason, but the inability to wipe caches is widespread on all apps after that.
Christopher Rivera
But that's wrong, my man. Back > front.
Owen Bell
Is it worth getting an s7 edge right now? Mainly looking at the camera performance.. Currently I'm using a honor 5c.
Daniel Ward
It's a good phone provided you remove the Samsung and carrier bloatware.
Levi Jackson
Get the G6 or iPhone 7 if you want good camera
Carson Myers
Can't reach the fingerprint scanner in the back if you're in the car trying to change the song playing.
Caleb Green
Sad thing tap to wake doesn't exist for phones that have fingerprint scanners on the front right?
Joseph Reyes
Any opinions on Moto Z Play? Looking to get one. Tired of my G3.
Blake Green
About to jump the gun on the Xperia XZ1, anything I should know before possible buyer's remorse?
Asher Walker
Anyone still use a Note 4 here? What a god tier phone. One of the last flagship phones to have a removable battery + amoled 1440p screen
Julian Johnson
G6 looks nice but I'm a bit afraid since it might bootloop out of nowhere..
Andrew Gomez
Replaced mine with the Note8.
Note4 was GOAT phone, but it's simply getting old at this point.
Landon Diaz
I got a Redmi 4x on sale. What's the most stable ROM to use with it?
Few are official and many seem to have bugs with LTE and the camera.
Jordan Morales
Tap to wake, then put your passcode, then open up your music app / spotify / message app if you're trying to check a message VS Place finger on front facing sensor, open desired app.
Julian Lewis
I don't see how it's getting old. The screen is still one of the best, same with the camera, it has 3GB of RAM which more than enough for nougat and such, and it has removable battery and unlocked bootloader.
Justin Kelly
Damn the Pixel 2/2XL look disgusting
Jack Scott
Xiaomi.eu ROM
Levi Garcia
If you think the screen is still one of the best then you've obviously not used an S8+ or Note8.
Comparing them side by side and the Note4 screen is simply not impressive.
Also, 3GB RAM is usable, but I was regularly hitting my RAM limit and having apps drop out of memory, on the Note8 that simply doesn't happen.
Removable battery was only a concern for me back when a phone simply wouldn't last a full day. That just isn't a factor with the Note8. The battery lasts well into the next day, and with fast charging and wireless fast charging, i'm able to get 5+ hours of battery in 20 minutes.
I haven't bothered with ROMs since my original DroidX back in 2010 so an unlocked bootloader doesn't mean much to me. Especially since i've started using samsung pay with the Note8 which gets disabled if you root your device.
Again, the Note4 is GOAT. Amazing phone, but pretending it's still right up there with the current flagships is pretty much fantasy.
Sebastian Carter
First of all, >using your phone while driving >averting your concentration from the act of driving and the road while driving Natural selection will do you people in soon enough, keep your front sensor. Secondly, you don't have to unlock your phone to change the music that's currently playing. Any good music player will have controls from the lockscreen alone. Lastly, can you even read your messages while sitting upright and your phone is on the dash/near the stick? You can't? So you're gonna pick up the phone anyway? Negating the entire point of not picking it up for the sake of the front fingerprint scanner?
Charles Ward
That's what it came pre-installed with, and it's full of bloatware.
Jace Hernandez
Can we compare a year-old flagship with a new midranger in a general sense?
Both cost the same. Flagship may have better build quality but it will have fewer updates eventually.
Personally I bought Samsung Galaxy 6 last October and it was very affordable by then already surpassed by S7. Alas, it will not receive Oreo if it matters.
Isaac Sanchez
it came with a pre-installed custom ROM? You sure?
Levi Morgan
What budget?
Xavier Gomez
both are shit
Jack Carter
No shit the latest phone is better but the note 4 still holds up and it's a whole lot cheaper than the note 8 without contract or carrier lock
Anthony Cook
No shit, if I wanted to keep using my Note4 i obviously would've kept using it.
The fact I bought a Note8 means I wasn't satisfied with the Note4 anymore.
Aaron Jones
Anyone know anything i can stick on to the back of my phone, glass back makes it slide around too much
Leo Ward
>I don't see how it's getting old >No shit the latest phone is better but the note 4 still holds up
So you DO see how it's getting old
Brody Gray
>Lastly, can you even read your messages while sitting upright and your phone is on the dash/near the stick? You can't? So you're gonna pick up the phone anyway? Negating the entire point of not picking it up for the sake of the front fingerprint scanner? Using the remarkable sarcasm you showed in your first response: If only phone holders weren't a thing, right? Too bad you can't use one since it'd cover your amazing back placed sensor. Reading a message != texting while driving. If you can't read 2 or 3 lines at a glance then you should probably go back to school.
Luke Butler
it came with MIUI 8.1 global
My mistake, I thought that was what you were referring to.
Angel Davis
Again, tap to wake exists on phones that have both front, and if you haven't noticed it, back placed scanners.
Jason Cooper
I feel we're going in circles now. Read :
Parker Nguyen
Is the LG V30 gonna be the GOAT this year? I really like stock Android but Google is fucking up with these Pixels.
Parker Young
Will it ever release?
It was announced almost a month ago with no release date or pricing.
Last week we had ANOTHER announcement from LG about the upcoming LG V30 release, still no pricing or release date given.
IDK about you, but most people are fed up with this shit. The ONLY reason the V30 was announced a month ago was to try and fuck with the Note8 sales. But they STILL haven't even given a US release date. Shit is pissing me the fuck off now and I probably wont buy LG even if it released tomorrow.
Ayden Davis
the only phone worth owning right now is a galaxy s8+
Xavier Campbell
No, we're not. I've already responded to most of that, and the message thing does not at all detract anything from back placed scanners because of the presence of tap to wake. Yes, it's a few extra taps on that one situation that doesn't always happen. You'd want to read it while at a red light, you can pick the phone up. While traffic is going slow, you can tap to wake and open up the messaging app. You're saying that just because I have to put a minimum of 6 extra taps that barely take more time than just unlocking with the fingerprint, that the back-placed scanner is ultimately inferior.
So here's one situation wherein I feel that back-scanners are better. >You pick up your phone, and want to unlock it. You put your finger on the back, voila, it unlocks. If you unlocked with the front, chances are you have a big phone such that you'd have to change your current grip or you'd have to use an extra hand, depending on the way you've set up the scanner/are holding your phone. >Phone is lying down on the table/ground, you put your finger on it and waste less time in the unlocking process
Luis Long
Idk, I'm really worried about the software. I want to be as close to stock Android as possible. I also want to be guaranteed an update to Android Praline but it's not like I get that with LG either anyway.
Nathan Watson
If the point of a fingerprint scanner is to unlock your phone as securely as a PIN but saving time, having 6 extra taps because you can't use your time saving scanner due to its placement, how does that not make it inferior?
Nathaniel Diaz
Samsung has been better than LG over the past 2-3 years for major android updates.
S6 and Note5 got Android 7.0 despite starting on Android 5.1.1
S7 series will be getting Android 8.0 as their final update.
S8 series should be getting Android 9.0 as the final update since they started on 7.0
I honestly have gotten used to touchwiz, it's not nearly as bad as it was back with the S3-S5 days. There are occasional animation hiccups compared to Vanilla android, but there are a ton of features added too. And its still android so you're still free to customize most shit however you want.
Jonathan Thomas
Is 3gb of ram enough these days? Looking at the Moto x4 as an upgrade for my S5
Colton Rogers
So you're just gonna attack parts of my argument now, huh? Let's go back to the music app. >Back placed scanner with tap to wake Three taps, two to wake up, one to skip >Front scanner with tap to wake, but you insist on not using Hold on scanner for a short amount of time, open up music app with one tap, then skip with another tap. How is using the front scanner faster in this case?
Adam Garcia
Hate the glass back of my S7 edge? Want to keep nfc. Recommend me a phone pls
Matthew Hernandez
Get a skin for it.
Lincoln Ortiz
Didn't it release yesterday in Korea?
Andrew Walker
And?
Still no US pricing or release, still no European pricing or release date.
It was first announced in August. We're almost at October. It likely wont launch until mid October, and it will likely be $799+ anyway. At that price point i'd rather have an S8+.
Aiden Nelson
Is Moto g5 best budget phone? Or should I buy a second hand flagship?
Brody Price
How's the HTC 10 lifestyle
Carter Sanders
Should I? It's $213 with coupon. SD 625, 4GB RAM, 64GB, , good audio and camera and metal build with clean android seems nice for the price.
Nicholas Mitchell
HTC U Ultra or Galaxy S7?
For my dad, he doesn't believe in chink weird names like "Shawmeee", he wants a brand name.
James Gutierrez
>dispatch: 10th of october Mega cucked
Cameron Stewart
Where I live it will take at least 2 months to arrive anyway.
Isaac Garcia
Smartphones are useless
Angel Ward
Looks like a good price, just check the bands
Luis Jones
no-one cares
Robert Miller
Is Android 8.0 ok? Just recieved the update notice on my nexus. Also its been crashing quite a lot recently. Like, a LOT.
Jackson Hill
Sammy 7 is older but I don't know if that matters here. Have you checked the specs?
How about new midranger like Nokia 6?
Jayden Sanchez
So you care? ;^)
Mason Stewart
Is there any other difference between the S8+ and the Note 8 besides the pen ?
Hunter Gray
dual camera on the Note 8
Joshua Torres
botom headphone jack > top headphone jack
Jason Thomas
Both are close spec wise but S7 has AMOLED panel and 32gb instead of 64gb on U Ultra
Camera wise I think S7 might be better but sensor on U Ultra has a greater number?
Sony IMX378 Exmor RS vs Sony IMX260 Exmor RS on S7
I think I'm going to go for safest option and pick S7, since it will have great resale price and more common than HTC here.
Kevin Cox
I never have this problem on my G4 Play. You may need to reset it.
Joseph Nguyen
why? with the jack at the top it's easier to use the volume buttons without taking the phone out of the pocket.
Jose Lewis
Yeah why not.
Joseph Clark
S-SHOULD I??
William Powell
Go... ahead? Why are you opting for an installment plan though?
Isaiah Young
Clearly hes not very rich hue
Ayden Foster
...
Levi Rivera
6GB RAM and dual camera.
Unless you get the S8+ version with 6GB of RAM.
Also the Note8 display is something like 20% brighter and ~8% more efficient.
Anthony Baker
Is it worth it? It's like ~230$ more than the M6 Note on alibaba.
Sebastian Campbell
recommended app for playing music on android?
play music has low volume for some reason
Blake Fisher
32 bit software, exponentially outdated tech, fag t. note 4 user but too poor/uninterested in 2017 phones
Carter Butler
what controls the system photo cropper in android??? i think i froze the thing and i can't find it anymore
Blake Martin
Is the S8+ worth it? How's the battery of the S8?
Aiden Wilson
S8+ is GOAT battery, 5+ hour SoT
S8 is good but less impressive 4-4.5 hour.
S8+ is honestly the best phone out if you don't care about dual camera or stylus, which then the best phone is the Note8.
Dominic Evans
The regular S7 will cost less money most of the time. You dont need the meme curved edges anyway.
Charles Watson
Can anyone recommend me a good phone comparable to pic related? The 16GB storage is just not working for me anymore. (preferably lots of storage, easy to root, cheap, etc.)
Aaron Russell
Do you have it? How's the size of the screen? I think that it's a little too big for me, it just satands out too much in a crowd you know?
Robert Ward
Because of the screen ratio it's actually decent to hold, very comfortable, doesn't feel TOO big. I upgraded to the Note8 though and gave the S8+ to my brother.
I prefer the large screen size but if you don't the S8 is still a great phone, just smaller battery and screen.
Jayden Torres
And how does the increased screen size affect the quality of what's diaplayed, things should look sharper in the S8 right?
Kayden Murphy
is google spying on us via android and google maps and just basically everything that we type on our android phones?
Logan Allen
They're both going to be sharp enough where you wont see individual pixels unless you're within ~6 inches of the screen.
Yes, technically the S8 is sharper, but at that size, a larger display is better for media viewing unless you're always using the Gear VR or holding the phone RIGHT up against your face.
Jackson Taylor
Why even worry walking on eggshells Just
Juan Stewart
Recommend me phone with good camera and battery life. Budget is about 200€ and location EU.
Easton Green
Absolutely. Front or side are both way better than back. You have to be in denial to say otherwise. If your phone is laying on the table face up, the back scanner is cumbersome as fuck.
Manufacturers are being lazy, compromising usability, and people who buy their shitty phones are defending this decision. The worst is Samsung S8 that has the scanner right next to the camera lens. Fucking kek.
Benjamin Taylor
I'm quite invested into the Google ecosystem but want to switch to an iphone. Thoughts?
Levi Flores
Never buy Sony
Wyatt Russell
>US/Sprint It me birthday and I'm getting a new phone. It has to have: >hotspot hack/mod >headphone jack >water resistant >big screen >longer battery life than the s5 Currently have an s5 and it's definitely the best phone I've ever had but it's time for me to upgrade. The biggest things I love about the phone is that I could modify the hotspot tool to use it for free with my unlim plan and that the screen is big. I've considered the s8 but those curves look like a big meme..
Anthony Lopez
It's like a Redmi note 4 with better software. What's not to like.
Jackson Scott
Nokia 6
Zachary Adams
Would you buy a loaf a bread for 20 dollars and call someone who buys it for 3 poor? No, your retarded and probably Brazilian. budget phones are basically on par with flagships and flagship killers at this point. Just look at the DOOGE MIX 200 for a 5.5" bezeless display with a decent processor and good battery life. Excessivfags like you dropping 800 $ on a phone worth 400 are the reason prices are so high.
Parker Robinson
I got Note 2 five years ago and it's starting to fall apart now. So I need a new phone.
Any recommendations? -Budget
