Need a smartphone + contract carrier option that achieves the following:
USA AT&T Towers only $35/month or less (2GB data or more, I don't care how fast) Data roaming (I'm used to Verizon where you can go anywhere) 911 call capable, even after rooting phone or flashing custom firmware Wifi calling mandatory VoLTE
Front facing speakers Good display, not a Pixel 2 Waterproof or resistant Altimiter Rootable without losing camera quality 3.5mm headphone jack USB-C 400+ nits brightness so I can see it in bright sunlight White color MicroSD slow Fingerprint reader
Camden Jones
Doesn't exist

XZ1 seems about as close as I can get. Fucking hate post-paid prices and having to bring a separate camera

> All of that shit >Good camera >Plus front facing speakers >No Pixel 2
user you should settle for a Boom sound speaker combo. Really opens your options.
Tyler Powell
Pixel 2
John Roberts
my problem is just all the complaints about the pixel 2 quality control. definitely interested in HTC if i really have to sacrifice camera
Robert Perez
How is it? Do you really get good battery life like the pajeet reviews on YouTube say?
Andrew Jones
Lol you don't sacrifice much in camera quality with HTC, they have some of the best cameras in the business. The only "problem" is that the cameras don't do fancy shit like portrait mode if that's your thing.
Look into the U11 or U11+
Caleb Price
is it a next jewPhone proto?
Elijah Taylor
This. They make the pixel/pixel 2

Should i get my screen fixed on my oneplus one or get some other chinkshit? Max budget is around $300, but i live in denmark, so that's not a lot. A physical qwerty would be fantastic, but I've honestly given up on that a long time ago.
Brandon Hughes
Still waiting for an xperia x deal.
Jason Jones
Any good chinkphones for $150? I was looking at the Xiaomi Redmi 4X but the 720pis really the only gripe I have with it
Leo Adams
Huawei P10+ or the Pixel 2? Price diff of about $100 and the only upside to the pixel is water resistance. P10+ has QHD, a much larger battery, and a larger screen.
Sebastian Baker

Gabriel Mitchell
Any use for an old android device? I've got a droid RAZR m that I just updated to nougat.
Jaxson Green
Your fault. Phones go in one pocket ALONE. You should also know what mineral hardness your screen/cover can take so you know what not to put into pockets with it. Dumb boi.
David Perez
is there such a thing as a phone or app that allows for on the fly call encryption? I remember watching one of the Marvel movies and all he did was swipe right with his right thumb along the top of the screen and left with left thump along the bottom and said "call now secure" or some shit. Always wondered if it were possible or just more movie magic.

BLACK FRIDAY. Anyone know any good deals coming or have any useful links?

It's scratch resistant, not idiot proof.

I know that if you buy a flagship (definitely an iPhone x, 8, or galaxy s8) from target they give you a $200 giftcard.
Ayden Edwards
IF You go with verizon.
Dominic Nelson
i actually think it looks quite nice :(
Caleb Nguyen
Samsung I swear to god. If you copy the notch I will never in my life buy another product from you.
Robert Kelly
What do I do anons?
Had a Z1 Compact. Great phone, but it's dying. Wanted a new phone for around 350e that is smaller sized, good battery, decent camera.
X Compact seemed the natural successor, but I ordered TWO and had to return both because of camera issues.
WTF do I do now? Decent smaller-sized phones are non-existent in my price range. There are phones like Samsung A3, Huawei P8 Lite, maybe Huawei P10 if on sale, etc, but I don't know what to pick.
Thoughts?
Dominic Collins
What's the best cheap phone to get asap to mainly install Lineage OS and try to stay away from google services as much as possible, tho I would research a way to run google maps with minimum connections to google.
moto g5s plus and mi a1 seem reasonable from what I've researched what does /spg/ suggest?
Jayden Hill
The notch isn't a problem as long as the UI is developed to work with
Apple fucked up by having iOS think the notch is part of the screen...
I personally don't mind as you can now fit notifications and a clock where bezels used to be.
Get the P10 if you want an decent camera.
Brody Rivera
Will lineageos ever support the moto g5? I'm planning to pick one up come black friday to replace my old moto g,
Cooper Sullivan
iphone se is your other choice, or you go up to 5 inches (although the 5inch area is getting smaller by the day too for some fucking reason). lg g6 for example has a good camera.
Isaac Cox
>buying anything Samsung after the Galaxy S5 or Note 4
Shiggy diggy doo Even their washing machines are unreliable
There's an unofficial build, it'll eventually become official, just like every G-series phone before it has
Easton Powell
anyone?
Brody Bennett
But it looks so weird when watching videos. Like I get that in full screen it isn't 16:9, but still, that notch destroys the experience for me.
Jayden Scott
pixlels are shit
Joseph Perry
The notch is an abomination

i don't care at all about the front camera, so i'm looking into it. what's the rootability, dev scene like on this thing?
Matthew Sanders
>Not caring about using a beta OS You are seriously shooting yourself in the foot. You are not any better than the sheep that have bought the IPhone X, instead of waiting for the next generation.

Nicholas Gray
It's just about been 3 years, I'm looking to replace my Nexus 6. As long as it's a phone one can make payments on, what would y'all recommend as a straight upgrade? Only real condition is having a headphone jack.
Levi Green
fuck it, went with the p10+. $611 vs $720+
Kevin Cox
It doesn't have the 660. It's a 630.
Blake Parker
Galaxy S8, there will be deals this black friday.
Anthony Mitchell
I can upgrade to an S8+ for 18.75 a month right now, should I do it or wait for BF/CM deals?
Jose Wilson
Does this (notifications) mean what I think it means? Or did phonearena goof on the info?
Matthew Phillips
Speaking of the S8, is it easily riceable? I fucking hate bloatware, and that's the thing keeping me from buying one.
Charles Harris
Where are the new phones? I'm looking for redmi note 5 or lenovo p3.
Noah Barnes

Matthew Diaz
Is there any non-Xiaomi Chinkphones that work with USA 4G LTE?
Juan Baker

Cameron Price
LeEco.
They're better value too.
Elijah Hughes
use package disabler pro to get rid of the bloatware. if you want to root/custom ROM then it depends on if you have the snapdragon or exynos version
Daniel Cox

Nicholas James
About to get the Redmi note 4 global. Im switching from iphone, is there any other contenders I should be looking at for the same price, paying £160 for it.
Hunter Reyes
Meizu M6 note. Better camera and quick charge. Same battery and SoC, also 5.5 inch FHD.
Zachary Thompson
they goof'd
Parker Clark
Is that phone compatible in the US?
Jayden Jenkins
Sadly I can't find it anywhere going to UK for around the same price. Also a few sites say it doesn't support B20 LTE but official says it does. Shame
Elijah Wright
I still have a samsung galaxy 3. .... ..
I've been researching quite a bit on a new unlocked phone to get. I was thinking an Asus AR.
But what would Sup Forums recommend, also my carrier is verizon?
Mason Long
The huawei mate 10 pro looks pretty good. Is this "NPU" a meme?
Nolan Bailey
If you can get it, I really recommend it over the Xiaomi. It's got the same camera sensor as the HTC u11 and the Google Pixel 2. s.aliexpress.com/aYjM777b
This link has it for around 140 eur.
Andrew Phillips
Seems like OnePlus rolled out Oreo for 3/3T, just updated my phone
>whenever there is a 1 on the glance screen clock, the 1 is red
Oh wait it only works with the hours I guess. Also I don't know if they did something to the dash charging since it feels faster than before
Nathan Diaz
zen 4 anyone?
Jace Russell

Isaiah Garcia
Okay guys, I am looking for a new phone. Currently I have an Umi super. It's alright and I would like to upgrade from that. I am looking for: >a phone with snapdragon processor, >4 GB of ram(I could settle with 3 but whatever), >headphone jack, >usb C, >sd cards support. That are the most important things. Less important but nice to have: >dual camera >fingerprint sensor >being bezelles or resemblin an iphone like mi a1/mi 5x (i'm nit a fag, I just like thr looks, don't bully me), >around 4000mAh battery, could be less Oh, amd I would like to pay no more than 200usd, or a bit higher. Any recommendations? I'm considering > Xiaomeme mi a1/mi 5x since I had a redmi note 2 and i loved it, >redmi note 5 > Vernee Mix 2
Dominic Flores
It looks like a pixel 2 is going to be what I pick up next. I think I could live with the headphone dongle, just have to leave it plugged into my headphones I guess. Hopefully there won't be too many instances where I need to listen and charge at the same time. So with that in mind, whats a good music player for android? I'm coming off of an iphone 6 and like the fact that I can queue up songs in a "play next" way.
Noah Martin
you aren't gonna find shit like that for 200 USD unless it's refurbished
Cooper Martinez
Tell me more.
What would you recommend?
Sebastian Nelson
I don't care about samsungs and shit, im only looking for chinkposts
Christian Young
Chinkphones lol
Ethan Robinson
Thanks Ill have a look, always worry about this site paying for import duty or ordering from china. It is a better phone and the one I'd like so I might as well try to get it.
Isaac Phillips
What's wrong the Galaxy S8? I mean, at 500€ it's much more reasonably priced than other phones like the Pixel 2, yet it has a nicer screen, SD card support, the same chipset, headphone jack...
The only things I've seen so far that are not optimal are the OS which is still on 7.0 and seems to be customized in a way that's worse than stock android and the fingerprint reader's location.
I'm currently using a Lumia 640 (Windows Phone), but since that platform is now finally dead, I'd like to have a top smartphone for once. I've initially wanted to replace it with an iPhone, but the 8 is nothing new, expensive and the one upside is the fast processor. The X seems great, but ludicrously expensive and I don't like that notch.
Unless I'm missing something here - a much better offer - isn't the regular Galaxy the Phone I should buy?
Jonathan Gutierrez
Only reason why I'm not buying it is because it has a locked bootloader and unrootable without gimping the battery. Fuck Samsung for trying to prevent me from doing what I want with the device I bought.
Carson Gutierrez
Nope
Wyatt Edwards
I'm quite new to this whole Android thing, so I'm sorry for the question, but does "locked bootloader" imply that I can't flash any custom rom or that doing so would void my warranty? Does it only apply when I purchase the phone from a carrier (I wouldn't)?
And why would rooting gimp the battery? That seems like a deal breaker. Unless of course I don't need to root it. Why would you want to root the phone, now that things like the launcher can be changed without it? Adblocking and YouTube features without paying for Red?
Mason Johnson
Locked bootloader means that's just harder to flash custom firmware. It doesn't matter whether your bootloader is lcked or not, flashing unnoficial hardware/rooting always voids your warranty.
As for Youtube i recommend rhe OG Youtube App. It doesn't need root, provides black theme, download option, background playback, of-screen playback, floating video outside the app, screens swipe controls and downloading. SpotifyDogfood for listening to spotify without ads and "mashing up" the order of the songs
Wyatt Phillips
What do you guys think about the razer phone? Good buy for the price?
Ethan Phillips
Having a hard time finding a decent replacement for my LG G4. So far the options I'm considering are, roughly in that order: Moto X4, Moto G5S Plus, LG G6, Xiaomi A1 and Xiaomi Mi6. I'm not a heavy phone user at all, since I work from home I only really use it daily for messaging, social media and similar things, but on weekends when I'm out I usually have some trouble with battery, but it's still mostly messaging, maps and a lot of music. The main features I'm looking for are build quality and speed, the latter also meaning a clean Android if possible. A fingerprint sensor and headphone jack are very welcome additions, and a decent battery for regular use would be nice. Are there any other phones I should look for? I really wanted to pick up a 5T, but I need something by the end of the month, and since OnePlus phones aren't available in my country I'd need to import one, which means high import fees and long shipping time. Does the G6 still have any problems with bootloops and whatnot? That's the main thing keeping me from staying with LG. I used to love my Moto X2, but haven't touched any Motorola phone since Lenovo acquired it, which makes me wary, and for Xiaomi I have no experience with anything from them.
