Only got my OP5 2 months ago, and its already been nerfed by the OP5T. I'm mad.
Ryan Moore
What’s the best dual sim card smartphone that is under $500 and isn’t asian brand?
Dylan Cox
Got my Pixel 2 XL on Halloween thinking that I'd get lucky with it, only for the fingerprint scanner to lock up until I reset the phone and the screen to have burn in six days in. Should I RMA it, or is there another phone with software this good and a camera this nice? Please send help
Leo Rogers
So right now T-Mobile's having a deal where you can get an LG G6 for free if you buy a V30. Sorely tempted by it, because then I could just sell the G6 for a pretty massive price cut on the V30.
Does Sup Forums hate the V30? From everything I read online, it seems like my perfect phone, what with the huge battery and big screen and expandable memory and FUCKING HEADPHONE JACK
Jack Bennett
what's a good android tablet with official lineageos support? or should I just buy a phablet like the redmi 3 pro?
Dylan Barnes
just get a new one on warranty? whats the issue? you got a bum one, get another one for free that doesnt have these problems
Hudson Morales
V30 looks great to me. You just might get a funny blotchy screen if you're unlucky. its no S8 screen.
Ayden Clark
Got my OP3T in April and now it's nearly 2 generations out of date. Wtf is with this company?
Adrian King
>/spg/ is dead Guess we should migrate to /csg/, half of the posts are about chinkphones anyway.
Owen Sanders
How likely is it that Mi 7 will be usable in USA?
Levi Gonzalez
When will note 5 will be launch?
Nolan Richardson
probably on 11.11 or just before it because they want to push big volumes on singles day
Aiden Rivera
Nice to hear it! Looking forward for this beast. I am intrigued by no REAL leaks until now.
Jayden Cox
I'm just guessing mate I am eyeing that shit too and the indian clickbait shit got on my nerves
Leo Butler
Guys
Carter Carter
fucking autists and their infinite quest for a perfect camera to take ugly stupid pictures. Get rid of that phone mate, get your money back and move on. Want something similar to stock check on Sony or Motorola phones. Google is trying to out-Apple Apple, every year is worse and the amount of faggots reviewing the phone like Droid Life, PocketNow, technigger, Android Central, Android Authority, Verge and a lot more just brush off the fact that they all got royally fucked with an expensive phone that has subpar quality controlled hardware.
Cameron Hill
Still kickin' with my original Pixel, 128 GB. Have Copperhead OS installed, with a few personal tweaks added into it. Daily driver, as secure as I'd need it, and reliable.
Sebastian Rodriguez
I dunno man, feels bad.

Holy shit, I just can't get away from this game. is square banking everything they have behind this shitty mobile game?
Dominic Mitchell
Fingers crossed for a phone without issues this time! There's no issue with the warranty outside of the inconvenience, so I figured that I'd ask for alternatives.
I'm hideous and have a DSLR so it's not like I need the best camera out there, but is there anything wrong with wanting every aspect of a phone to be top notch? There's plenty of near stock phones, but I'm looking for one that's got killer performance to boot and support that won't drop the phone after a year. Is the XZ Premium the Sony phone to go for?
Chase Peterson
>a phone released just one year ago >dying how?
Andrew Cook
i have max 300e to spend on a phone (+ i live in a country where tech is about 20% more expensive then in EU countries)
I narrowed it to 3 phones G5 Plus- im confused cause in store it says it has 3gb ram, on 1 website it says 2, on gsm arena it says 4gb. Nexus6- i'd probably get used to its size, but it's 3yo phone already. Don't know how well it will age Xiaomi Mi A1- i'd save some money here, but camera is shit. I know there is some software fix, but i don't know if i'm tech savy enough to do it
help
Matthew Lopez
no idea but it's doing increasingly weird shit (buttons randomly stop working, very long delay on screen waking up sometimes) it's my 2FA device so I'd rather replace it before it dies
Ryder Lopez
that's why I never spend more than 150$ on a phone the only exception was last year, a zuk z2 pro for 200$, it came with a defective battery, never again
Samuel Sanchez
Flash LOS.
Kayden Rivera
G5+, there are multiple versions of it. if it's the 3GB/4GB RAM version, go for it.
If not, get the Mi A1.
Don't even think about the N6, it's a pile of shit by now.
Benjamin Robinson
Just bought a OP5. What do I install now for a ROM? Is just using stock ROM with op5 ok?
Mason Mitchell
Nexus 4 master race reporting in.
5 years old and still working like the first day (only with a battery replacement).
Give me reasons to buy something newer.
Jace Perez
I just replaced my Nexus 4 with a OP5. The n4 is slow and has shitty app support due to its age compared to newer devices. You should upgrade to a OP5T when they are released or go for one of the other chink phones that are recommended by Sup Forums.
Nathaniel James
Do phone prices lower on Black Friday? I really want to get a new phone, but I want to know if I should wait.
Jayden Robinson
Actually, I was interested in the OP5, but I just can't find a reason to upgrade other than getting a better camera (battery life is not a problem for me).
What do you mean by shitty app support? I haven't found any problems yet.
Noah Edwards
newer phones have much better battery life/power efficiency
Noah Hill
there's always sales on black friday but depends where you look. if you want a chink phone then aliexpress will have a sale definitely
Blake Harris
Some apps like snapchat dont work properly and 'break' on the Nexus 4 due to its non physical buttons having a bug.
Michael White
Galaxy A5 or Xiaomi MI A1? Both for about the same price.
Angel Davis
Get a last year's flagship. The snapdragon 625 is shit compared to 820.
Gabriel Morris
Keep using the stock rom, it's the best and the custom rom destroys the camera
Asher Cruz
Please help me decide. I plan on using the phone for web browsing, watching movies and listening to music.
Mi A1 runs stock Android, Galaxy A5 tuns Tou-- I mean "the Samsung Experience". Choose whatever you like more.
Cooper Powell
Thank you for the votes so far, please keep them coming!
Carson Martin
this general was down for 25 hours and didn't get a reply till an hour after I posted it.
Daniel Thompson
I'm sorry, what do you mean? Did you reply the wrong person?
Carson Lewis
Mi A1 if it supports the bands of your carrier
Nathaniel Long
nobody made a new general after 25 hours so I had to make one
Jonathan Foster
thanks. I'll call them tomorrow to see if it's 2 or 3gig version.
If not, i'll save some money and buy new headphones for difference
Isaiah Anderson
Anyone try out the mi note 3 yet? Or is it too much at that price point (~400 buckaronies)?
Elijah Hernandez
Dropped my Samsung note4 in the toilet last night. had it for 3 years, i am very sad.
what new phone should I get? I really liked the 1440p screen and multi-window. Don't need a stylus again though.
Jace Hernandez
S8+
Parker Howard
S8+ If that's too expensive then S7 edge is good too, also has water resistance for toilet drops.
Joseph Nelson
S8+ looks nice,
what do you guys think of the unlocking from the back though? looks kinda inconvenient.
Hunter Young
Been using Nexus 6 since it was released, 3-4 years ago I think. Awesome phone, had zero issues with it. It's starting to show its age though. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can get it brand new for very cheap.
Daniel Brooks
I just use the good ol pattern method I don't really care about the fingerprint scanner. Tho I use it sometimes for my Bank Of America app and other banking apps which is neat.
Someone convince me not to get the XZ1, Like literally there is nothing that dissuades me >Headphone jack >micro sd slot >1080 I wanted the nokia 8, but this is nearly identical in specs to it
>But bezels, Nigga I am just gonna watch youtube videos and basic apps on it. >But muh camera I am not a camgirl who goes 24/7 on snapchat. Cause 1, I am fucking hideous.... there is no 2.
Samuel Mitchell
I would argue the nokia will get better support.
Camden Green
It already has Oreo with more future updates on the way. Z4 is still being supported as well. I think my prospects look good.
Ryan Brown
Its less about whether the sony gets the updates and more about when, I am not saying they are bad but I think nokia are pushing to get them out in better time. Personally I like the xperias I just cant justify getting one.
Dominic James
Weird question here.
I've been using some specific ROM on my Moto G4 that hasn't been getting updates for quite some time. The thing is it's as stable as it gets and it's fairly fast, doesn't have any flaws other than being dated.
That hasn't been the case in quite a few ROMs like Resurrection Remix, LOS, ViperOS, Invicta or crDroid. Tired of either getting poor performance, some applications not giving me notifications often, having random stuff force close for no reason or getting random reboots, I have to wonder, what makes them ROMs, which are mostly similar with the exception of a few features, sometimes really minimal, have all these issues?
Is it the kernel itself? All I know is that the ROM I was using that had no problems at all used the CAF kernel. Not sure if I have to look for anything CAF.
Jason Lopez
the bezels are shit on all Sony phones
Brandon King
Hey /spg/. I bought a Mi 5X the other day for my aunt. I believe it runs International ROM. At first I thought it was the exact same as Global, just different name, but it turns out it is not. Do I have to ask Xiaomi for the unlock code to install Global ROM on it? If so, what is the process behind it? I assume there must be some tutorials out there.
The "English and Chinese only" thing is a deal breaker for my aunt, unfortunately.
Leo Moore
Replaced my galagxy S7 with an iPhone 8 Plus and I’m never looking back. Fuck Android.
Samuel Campbell
i can get it for 300e brand new. I think i made up my mind. i have a shop where i can get g5 plus for 275e, but it's most likely 2gb ram version. if its not i'll take it if it is, i'll get xiaomi, save me 50e, but i'll get shit camera that i'll try to fix
1 last question. Is g5 plus battery life much better then xiaomi mi a1?
Elijah Davis
Yo who remembers the Lenovo ZUK Z2? I've been browsing /spg/ for like a year now. It used to get suggested so much on here that the term "ZUK Shill" was a thing. I wish I had that phone. It truly is a beast. But I had to make do with a Redmi Note 4 cause ZUK Z2 isn't available where I am. For anyone wondering it's still a good buy for 2017.
Anthony Ward
It had a terrible overheating problem people seem to dismiss. Don't know why
Oliver Diaz
What if you don't mind the bezels?
Kayden Cox
enjoy ur shitty 2k mAh battery on lagOS
Landon Williams
Can anything (useful) be done with an old unlocked Lumia 920?
Aiden Gray
SOMEONE HELP!
I have a Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro special edition. I've had it for about a year. The battery on it is incredible (4050mAH).
Recently, however, my cousin got himself a Xiaomi redmi note 4 Global version with 4000mAH. The redmi note 4 comes with a smaller battery and a slower processor (625 Snapdragon) in comparison to the note 3 pro 650 Snapdragon.
His battery life is clearly better than mine. He was on Facebook video chat the other day for over half an hour and I swear to god, without auto brightness, he lost 1-2% battery life. He then went to bed and left the phone on standby for 10-12 hours only losing another 1% and I browse his phone periodically throughout the day (no percentage loss).
In comparison, I can maybe squeeze a 10 minute YouTube video on auto brightness and use 1%. Overnight, I use up maybe 3-4% on standby.
Am I just being overly conscious or has my battery slightly depreciated?
Logan Brown
His had better efficiency to start with PLUS your battery has deprecated
Is it worth it to move from the OP5 to OP5T when it comes out? From what I see its probably the same insides but with a nicer screen? Maybe they'll fix the OIS
Brandon Howard
What do you mean better efficiency?
I just lost 2% browsing Clover in 9-10 minutes with 4G.
What phone should I get? 300usd budget, only smart phone shit I use is Spotify and messenger softwares. Dont play mobile game or use social media. Good camera and battery are what Im looking for.
Jackson Sanchez
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 4GB/64GB Global Edition

one of these
Kevin Butler
Wat?
Dylan Ortiz
>XZ Premium maybe, even if Sony makes some stupid choices every now and then, they at least made their software more accesible and even made it easier to be rooted if you wanted. Same with updates, with every phone after the Z3 they've gotten better at delivering updates or releasing preview roms. I also recommended you one of the Motorola phones because I know there's at least one of the new models that has a decent camera, good battery life and the software was always near stock and with great features like the notifications. Seriously, fuck Google, they own a huge ass company and they fuck up the hardware on an overpriced piece of shit phone. I'm annoyed when reading people making up excuses for that shit, they are worse than apple faggots
Dominic Mitchell
Was it dumb of me to get a XZ1 Compact for $500? It came with $50 BestGoy gift card.
