best cheapest/chink phone with the snapdragon 835? considering OnePlus 5 and Xiaomi Mi 6
Jaxon Bennett
Wondering about ZTE nubia Z17 mini. Any thoughts? Snap 653 with 6GB sounds reasonably decent.
Nathan Powell
>Numerous /spg/ threads >some threads mention Honor 7x in the OP >no ones talking about the flagship Huawei Mate 10 despite being revealed under a week ago
Fucking why? Is there something wrong with the phone that I missed?
Ayden Murphy
I dunno, seems like people avoid mentioning huawei around here, no idea why.
If there isn't a perfect flagship out right now (there isn't), it's not worth buying. Join me in abstaining from imperfection, anons

So Huawei are in the zone of shit? Think they're underrated, but maybe because they don't specialise in a specific thing. Thought they had the best fingerprint sensor though

I can get a Blackberry Keyone for €450 or a XZ1 Compact for €410, both with warranty. Which one would you get /spg/? I like good battery and wi-fi/cellular signal (currently on an iPhone 6S and this thing won't find a router unless I throw the damn thing at it)
Adrian Cruz
That grill needs to lose some weight
Lucas Fisher
XZ1 compact, it isn't made by chinks

Why are there so few 4.7" phones? I've only seen overpriced Sony Xperia compacts and Samsung A3s. And, well, iPhones, but they don't count.

Fuck I feel like I'm being forced into buying the Pixel 2. My 6p is barely running and I can't use anything but pure android. I wish I was a touchwiz cuck.
Camden Evans
Xiaomi mi a1 - pure android Bq Aquaris X Pro - stock and breddy good Xperia line - very near stock
Wyatt Ramirez
Almost went Xperia after my Nexus 4. Will these phones last at least 2 years?
Daniel Evans
Huawei have amazing cameras, but check out honor if you want, mostly the same phone as Huawei flagships, including the camera, but much cheaper.
Josiah Anderson

Jaxon Mitchell
I already have an Honor and I need a new phone, so decided to look at the flagships. Just surprised people were barely talking about the mate 10, seeing as how the Mate 9 is still rated highly
Cooper Cook
But they are assembled there...
Michael Peterson
Sony seems to be very commited to updates. You can see older phones getting various Android versions. Also lots of people report on getting security updates just a couple of days after the Pixels.
Software wise they should last. Build wise I'd say too, unless you are prone to accident. Thr only Xperia I've owned was the Z5 and I waa really impressed by the build quality and solidness.
Elijah Gomez
I'm sick of my Oneplus 3T being a piece of shit. Chinks can't fucking write software. Bluetooth has been 90% broken on my phone since day one, and I got the Android 8.0 update last week and all of my radios have been broken since, wifi and 3G/4G will all hang and require a restart. It might have something to do with me being on Google Fi and having missing Sprint radios but that wasn't a problem for the last year.
I'm going to see if flashing AOSP and then Lineage to see if it makes things better. If it's still shit after that what should I get? Pixels are all shit and I kinda don't want to drop $800 on a phone just on principle, but I've always had flagship devices so idk
>i wish my Nexus 6P hadn't broken that phone was great
Easton Roberts
>BQ mentioned in Sup Forums I'm impressed.
I have the X5 Plus and it's a good Facebook machine. I recommend it if you want to buy your mom or dad a phone and they're not that into smartphones. I'm not really into smartphones myself and it does its job well: it lets me browse facebook, instagram and use whatsapp and messenger.
Daniel Hughes
I have a three proofings W5. Indestructible but low specs.
Dominic Thomas
Is there a good usb-c/bluetooth earphone or a good usb-c to audio dongle?
Jaxon Brooks
Considering buying a regular pixel 2. I don't mind carrying around a headphone dongle if the sound is decent. I'm really attracted to the great camera and software. Any reason not to get one if I don't mind the bezels?
Liam Ortiz
Im testing the Moto Z Play 2016, the battery life on this thing is absolutely insane. Charges in like 15 minutes with turbo charge, and lasts for friggen days, and I have a shit ton of notifications / bg apps running. The moto functions like karate chop for flash light, double flip for insta camera, are handy as hell. I also really enjoy the finger print unlock thing Very solid phone I recommend it, and I'm usually an apple-fag, coming from iPhone SE and 6 as a comparison
Jack Cooper
oh and the headphone jack is great, glad they kept that and the speaker (without jbl addon) is loud as fuck

Ethan White

Camden Flores
Been using the 5s since its release, and it's currently falling apart. Screen being unresponsive, bloated battery. I don't want the latest iphone since it doesn't have the audio jack, should I get the 6s+, or get an alternative android that is within the same price range? The only reason why I'm considering a 6s+ is because of its iMessage, and I'm just a lazy retard. Still other suggestion for an alternative 6s+ are welcome.
Andrew Thomas
Consider this. Buy a hexa screwdriver for 99 cents from ebay, a replacement battery for 15 bucks, and a new screen + digitizer for $40. You'll have a brand new set of hardware, whilst retaining your settings. One of the main reasons to not buy a newer phone is because any ios above 9 is complete garbage. most of the notable jailbreak tweaks are found between ios 7 and ios 9 which you're likely at now. Jailbreaking aside, the batterylife, bugs, and other shit that come with the new iOS 11 and the clusterfuck ui of 10 are reasons to stay below. take it for what you will. just my 2 cents
Liam Gomez
Fingerprint scanner might be nicer than you think though. I have a few apps like Amazon that just let you buy shit without using a credit card, so it's nice to have the phone always locked by a pin and the fingerprint makes it quicker. I wouldn't buy another without it and it's pretty much becoming standard anyway.
Jace Robinson

These people sound like they put out some pretty good devices, and review for the X Pro (all from European websites it seems) are fairly positive. Is Sup Forums gonna start shilling spic phones and not just chink phones?

I want to be able to kid myself into thinking I'm some rich and powerful CEO or something like that. What smartphone is the best status symbol?
doesnt the software and stuff suck? Don't they have lead components and other shoddy shit? If you were going to cheap-ass it why not get something like an older s7 or something. I dont understand.
Parker Butler
Anyone jump to Apple after Android? I want a stock experience for my next phone, or nothing. And I'm a bit hesitant with the Pixel 2

Should i get a cheap chink phone like the RedmiNote 4 or save up and get something better?
Ethan Myers
I am using onedrive for my cloud service for my photos, with some bonuses im at 30 gb of storage total, 26 of which im already using. What would be a better alternative? or should I just bite the bullet and manually backup or get a onedrive premium sub?
Mega sucks.
Gabriel Evans
It's cheap
Nathaniel Wood
Good goy. Don't buy Chinese products of equivalent or better quality at reasonable prices. Instead buy overpriced Korean or American products.
Nolan Ross
but see that is the thing, an iphone 5s is like 100 bucks now. Why would you use some inferior chinese phone, when you could get something like a nexus 5 or something. The cost doesn't justify that
Brody Brooks
Note 8 could probably fill this niche. Bonus points if you continually make a big show of using the stylus.
Christian Cox
please respond someone
Lucas Bailey
Having LineageOS +Ex kernel redundant?
Trying to go for longest battery time and so far (since stock) I've upgraded from 3-3.5 to only 4.
Nolan Sullivan
Thanks. I'm looking at the Mate 9 as well. Do you think the jump in cost between the MI Max 2 and Mate 9 is justified by the improvement in performance?
William Reed
Use alucard governor, really good battery life. Lspeed or HEBF might as well get kernel auditor on the way and change the io governor and gpu governor
Evan Gray
This shit is so fucking frustrating. I'm trying to get a tablet(mostly for games, I have RSI and can't use controllers/mouse very much anymore) but there are no guides or anything I can trust to tell me what the fuck to get. I live in a shitty country(NZ) and I have no idea if chinkshit or whatever it is people always talk about here will even ship to/be available here. Can anyone help or give a rundown of whats good, and what I need to prioritize if I'm just using it for dumb games and shit? My price range is around $200-500 and I don't even know if there's any reason for me not to buy the cheapest shit I can find. What do?
Daniel Perry
Nice bait
Nathaniel Ross
Just got a moto g5s+, pretty impressed so far for the price. The dual camera is a bit of a meme but the fingerprint scanner works well. Coming from a phone with physical buttons I'm kind of disappointed with the on-screen ones, some apps treat them kinda shit. Otherwise pretty happy 8/10 /Blog
Josiah Long
I wanna buy a phone I can use for ~3+ years. Is it worth saving the money and just getting a generation 1 Google pixel or pixel XL? Is it bad not getting frequent security updates on android?
Owen Harris
So /spg/, about 3 weeks ago my Nexus 5X (predictably) started the bootloop game. This is my second 5X in two years; the first one failed under warranty after 8 months, and was replaced by Google. This one is being replaced with a refurbished unit courtesy of my credit card's extended warranty, but I have to wait bloody ages for it to come (4-6 weeks).
After the Nexus failed and I found out there would be a long wait, I popped the SIM in my old LG Gossip (aka the Optimus c660) for temporary use. I originally got this phone back in 2011 for $40 on contract. I was never too fond of it since it was quickly and thoroughly outclassed by other Android and even Blackberry phones. By the time I could upgrade in 2013 I was pretty sick of it, and couldn't even manage to sell it second-hand. I have no warm memories, and yet for some reason, using this thing the past couple weeks has made me yearn for simpler times. I like the physical keyboard, I like how it goes two days between a charge, I like the universal search, I like how it can be used one-handed, and I like how it can easily fit in my pocket. Yeah, the 320x240 display looks like shit and the Snapdragon S1 runs like shit (for all those who complain that you can't run Snapchat on anything less than an SD820, wait till you see Snapchat run on this), but there is still something strangely appealing about it. I don't know what it is. It's made me consider getting a KeyOne after I get the 5X back. Anyone else got (likely misplaced) nostalgia for something?
William Butler
Im new to this and just followed this guy's settings youtu.be/ZSa-9aWmTFk I'm gonna reboot now and hope for the best

Eli Bailey
Trying to toss up between the Meizu M6 Note, Meizu Pro 7 Plus, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x.
Things that matter the most are battery life, powerful enough for psp emulation, and camera.
Only reason I haven't bought the Meizu Pro 7 Plus already is the lack of OIS.
The battery life offered by the Snapdragon 625 and a 4000mAh battery is why I'm considering the M6 Note and the Redmi Note 4x
Leo Russell
The OnePlus 3 hadn't even been released when I first got the Nexus 5X

Redmi note 5 is coming close to launch. You can spend more for a flagship but in terms of real utility it's not that much of an upgrade. The new budget segment are pretty powerful and fast. Only thing is they don't have the bells and whistles the flagships have. Oh and yeah the cameras suck

What would be best between the LG G6, iPhone 8, or the Galaxy S8?

I have no mouth, and still I must scream. inb4 Appledrone and whatever else. the phone was a birthday gift but this entire ordeal has been absolutely infuriating.
Jeremiah Hill
get the G6 unless shooting movies is your biggest use.
Bentley Rodriguez
Doesn't the S8 have all that but with a bigger screen, bigger battery, better performance, and smaller bezels?
S8.
G6 is running outdated hardware and the LG skin is as bad a TouchWiz. iPhones 8 and 8+ are the new note 7. Also the S8 has a nice AMOLED screen and the thinnest bezels of them all.
Why not a good cheap chinkphone "flagship"? Le Max 2 is cheap, or there's the mi6 or Meizu Pro 7 plus.
Overpriced and overhyped. f1.6 camera has disappointing 1um pixels.
Benjamin Gonzalez
Any other Android phone whose camera is as good as the Pixels? I played around with my friend's unit and it snaps better pictures than my newer S8.
Leo Miller
>thing won't find a router unless I throw the damn thing at it I feel like this might be starting to happen to mine. Do you know why it wasn’t picking up a signal?

Guys, is buying the Xiaomi Redmi 4ß for $100 wprth it? Or could you guys suggest me a better phone within the $150 price.

Get a Sony a6000 and a cheap vintage lens and it'll take better photos than any smartphone currently out.

I would suggest waiting for Redmi note 5. It's got the 18:9 display

Sony's stock ROM is really close to stock Android, and they have a an AOSP tree for every devices that you can compile for a fully stock ROM (require unlocking bootloader though).
Their camera are terrible, but the latest Oreo build for the 2016 line has a fully working Camera2 API so you could use Pixel's camera app and bypass Sony's awful image processing.

What is the newest/most recent phone with a removable battery and SD card?
Easton Long
No. Apple patched downgrading ever since the 3GS. What you used to be able to do is "cache" the authentication key to allow you to downgrade when Apple servers are still handing it out, but I haven't used an Apple phone since the 4S. and they might have patched that out as well.
I got an XZ for 300 AUD nearly brand new (display stock, but no marks on phone or screen), when others 2016 flagship are 400 minimum used, I think its fine. I don't really care for 1440p/2160p screen on a phone, 3GB RAM is fine for Sony's near stock ROM once you switch launcher, and I've always been a sucker for the chunky square design ever since the Windows Mobile day. Reviewer shits on it because specs wise its inferior to the other flagships, but it doesn't really matter on day to day usage. The fact that it used to cost as much as other flagships was a problem though, but if you can get it for cheaper like me for the reasons listed, its not a bad phone.
