I want the better camera and amoled but reviewers have said the battery life drops noticeably after a year
Josiah Thompson
Looking for cheap new phone with android oreo update confirmed. Is Moto G5 a good choice or should I go for something else. I prefer small phones but I can't find good hardware under 4,5

Carter Ross
what kind of SOT is an S6 user getting in 2017? 30 minutes?
Josiah Adams
Any suggestions of a waterproof phone with great battery life? These are my only real priorities. I plan on using it as a bike tour GPS

My iphone 6 ive had for 3 years no longer connects to my service provider, I took it to the store i bought it from and they told me im SoL, any fixes?
recommendation for a new phone if not?
Alexander Gomez
I would like to know too. My s7 edge can't hold a charge and runs chrome with 300 tabs open like shit. Feels bad that Samsung cucked out and I can't change battery
Luis Sanders
>300 tabs open
for what purpose

Upcoming HTC U11+ is rated IP68 and has a 4,000 mah battery

moto g (xt1032) latest stock rom, no root, no debug mode. stuck in a boot loop generally on the blue m logo. occasionally when i disconnect the battery i can get the full splash animation to cycle but when finished it goes back to the blue m
i tried swapping the battery, same behaviour displayed
windows briefly recognised it once but i have not had any luck reproducing that so i can use adb commands. i can't seem to get it to launch into boot menu.
any ideas what could be wrong with this? it has not really gotten wet but has had a few drops over the years.
hoping to save my photos and just buy a new phone.
Charles Hughes
Go with the Meizu, the Xiaomis have bad to decent cameras, unless you're willing to go through all that stuff to install Google HDR+
Thomas Cox
Anyone ITT own a Pixel 2016?
Mason Harris
So I have Verizon and an S7 edge in America. I have payed off the 2 year contract for the phone. Can I just buy a Xiaomi Mi A1 for 200ish bucks and put my SIM card into and that's that?
Mason Brooks
I replaced my s6 battery with a s7 edge 3600mah and I'm getting 8 hours SoT at least with no power saving mode
Kayden Evans
Femanon here For a cheap phone with the likelihood of an Oreo update I'd go for an Android One phone, like the Xiaomi A1. Stock android and decent specs for the price
Lucas Green
xperia XZ1 has to be one of the comfiest phones this year, perfect size, perfect screen size, perfect screen res, best aspect ratio, close to stock android, launched with oreo and treble, quick as shit updates and security patches, great audio, and camera, great day and a half battery. the price not so perfect, i paid £560 for mine but at it's RRP of £600 the pixel 2 is a better deal,even though it's £29 more.
and having tried the XZ premium, and XZ1 compact, the plain jane XZ1 is sony's best phone this year.
Jordan Jenkins
oh fuck off.

HTC desire 650
Got it rom a friend's aunt. It was factory reset, but still wants the old google account. It detected a password reset on it, which has not been done at that point. Okay, so I reset it, waited 24 hours without touching the phone, but now it still complains about the same. I don't know what to do...
Anyone have ideas?
Daniel Gonzalez
not really, but oneplus are being a shitty company lately, also why buy a phone this time of year which doesn't ship with oreo.
Connor Reed
factory reset in the bootloader
Blake Phillips
How did you find the XZ Premium? What was it that you didn't like in it? Kinda considering it as one of the options once my phone dies for good.
Leo Brooks
Are there any mid-range phones that have a 18:9 display?
Angel Lewis
What launchers/texting apps does Sup Forums use? I've got nova launcher atm which suits me well enough but I have yet to find a texting app that isn't a lump of ass
Easton Sanchez
Nope, did that. Still the google thing comes up with the same bullshit. Even wiped the cache partition. Must be a recent hardened protection thing.
Kayden Cook
It's supposed to receive the update in late december
Tyler Clark
the size of it, it was a little too big for me to use comfortably, also the fact that youtube removed 4K HDR from the application, as well as not really being able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4K, and that it wasn't getting updated to treble, also a little nervous over the glass back
it was a lot of little things but they made a big thing altogether, but it's still a good phone, and in chrome it really stands out, if i had bigger hands i would have kept it, as size wise it's the same as the plus versions of iphones. but if you can get a deal on it i'd get it.
Anthony Miller
still it should have shipped with it, as OEMs have already released oreo updates and beta programs.
Landon Scott
How are the edges of the compact? Are they uncomfortable when in your hand or in a pocket?
Chase Myers
What's replacing the Nexus line ? Xiaomi Mi A1 ? I would like to replace my Nexus 5X for something with more RAM but keep a decend performance and camera.
Carson Smith
I see, thanks. It's a shame that youtube removed that, but honestly there's not much of that content in the first place, I would assume...
I like bigger phones, but the glass surfaces do worry me, and especially the fact that you can't put a tempered protector on the screen without sacrificing screen space or clarity due to the curved edges...
Jonathan Peterson
What's the best cheap 64GB internal + MicroSD phone? Or maybe just the cheapest phone that has that?
Chase Reed
No treble support for sure on the xz premium? also, xz premium on sale for $549.99 a decent deal?
Justin Garcia
I don't know if we can really talk about it but what phone company do you guys use? I'm on TMobile.
Nolan Martinez
Possible to run Magisk + Xposed and bypass SafetyNet ctsProfile & basicintegrity yet?
Landon Lee
LG Q6 I think
Chase Perez
DNA in Finland and MTS in Russia. Not that I consciously chose either, the first one's just because it's a work SIM and the second one's the one all of my relatives have, in part due to that company being a source of profit as a subcontractor for my dad for decades.
Christopher Roberts
nah I just bought this
I can't get my head around how amazing it is, I love it so much

now let's face reality
1. plastic top and bottom 2. camera has a shitty low-light performance 3. average battery with 2900mAh (a day and a half? c'mon!)
other than that, the phone is fucking sexy, snappy and durable.
Hudson Cooper
No Xiaomi alternative?
No expandable storage tho.
Jace Lewis
Different user here, I have the Z play and the trade off of having the mediocre camera is excellent battery life. Honestly the camera is fine during evenly lit conditions but in low light the white balance sucks, detail is lost quickly, the auto ISO setting is very hit or miss withing snapchat or IG (white balance struggles and focusing manually does some weird things, sometimes failing to focus altogether for 2-4 seconds). The actual Moto camera app is wonderful with ease of use and access to settings which can overlay with the viewfinder/preview for quick adjusting. The amoled screen on mine has a very blue/cool color temperature and when I compared it to another unit on display along with the X4 they were both warmer and whites looked better. Supposedly a warmer/yellow tint is more common among the super amoleds for Motorola. I got mine for $250 and I'm considering the original 5.5" Pixel XL
Hudson Wood
>No Xiaomi alternative Mi A1 is probably the closest
Jaxson Sanchez
128gb is more than enough to last forever 64gb will never give you issues
Christopher Ward
>2900mAh I wish. It's 2700

redpill me on the nokia 3. live in a third world shithole and it goes for 180 dollars. won't want to spend more than 200 for when i get mugged, need money for the stabbing doctor.

Groupon has a deal for Newegg giftcards you get a $110 giftcard for $100 - limit 2 just bought a Moto G5+ 4gb/64gb for $205
Andrew Morales
where do you live
also look on youtube reviews
Ethan Lewis
-.-
Sigh. People in these threads don't care about the true chinkphones and the people in the chinkshit thread don't care about phones. Can never have get good opinions in regards to the low-cost chinkphones...
128GB for sure, only scenario where I'd buy a phone without an MicroSD card slot. 64GB is sketchy as shit already, App and OS Sizes keep increasing...
Blake Lopez
surely you can buy a cheap Xiaomi instead? or even some random chinkphone?
Evan Bailey
How can I get a dark theme on my galaxy s8 plus from sprint?
Josiah Russell
What is a true chinkphone then?
Jace Clark
Sorry, though you were this guy
Sebastian Lewis
Can I use the oneplus 5T with AT&T in northwest America?
Logan Jackson
Is the Oneplus 5 still for sale? I go to the website and on the page to buy it, but nothing comes up? I wanna get it just cause I heard it's like $100 cheaper than the 5t for basically the same thing.
Yes
Tyler Cook
That's a hell of a deal, I've been on the hunt for an ebay gift card
Adam Hall
OP5 is discontinued
Wyatt Mitchell
The kinds you find for less than $200 on Aliexpress, Gearbest, DealExtreme, Geekbuying...
There are some legit good ones there, although you'd be well advised to do a lot of research (YouTube, forums) to see which are good and which have horrible "hidden" flaws.
For example, you can easily find 4/64GB RAM/Internal Phones below $150. You can also find currently popular aesthetic designs, with loads of those manufacturers making Bezel-less and 18:9 copies.
I recommend checking out Vernee Mix 2, Doogee Mix 2 and Maze Alpha if you want to see some nice looking, cheap but actually competently made Phones. You can even get a very good cheap Phablet (6.44") in the Uhans Max.
Overall, good brands are Cubot, Uhans, Vernee. Oukitel and VKWorld are decent. Leagoo is good but had some issues recently, but they will be interesting in the future (official Tottenham FC partnership for example). Umi/Umidigi have a poor track record.
Just be sure to always check whether your mobile bands are supported and to remember that almost all of these phones run on MediaTek processors, so custom Roms and such are not a thing.
Overall, the whole point of these chinkphones is that you can find: 1. Totally legitimate alternatives (with lots more storage and clean OS) to the bigger name brands 2. Xiaomi Redmi (Note) 4 alternatives with a big more interesting aesthetic designs.
Isaiah Russell
I thought they were still selling them while they had stock?
Lincoln Rodriguez
>64GB is sketchy as shit already, App and OS Sizes keep increasing...
Gabriel Campbell
They did, no stock anymore
Joseph Watson
was broken power button. ripped it off and got it to boot.
Landon Johnson
not only the app sizes themselves but all the cache and shit that goes with it. unless you enjoy having to clear that once a week then a browser and handful of apps easily eat up a good amount of GiB's
Leo Butler
Is this a serious suggestion? The phone looks good but its website's Engrish makes me nervous
Ryder Lopez
As it should. Those chinese phones last for about 9 months.
Daniel Brown
I was more concerned about the software end of things. All phones are chinese made right?
Caleb Gutierrez
6 inch or more
6GB RAM

Any phone to fit this criteria? I know that Maze Alpha does but I dont know how reliable or good is that, if anyone owns one pls tell me about it
Just destroyed my iCuck 6S smartphone accidentally, screen is completely busted, would rather not repair it or get another Apple phone and use this opportunity to make the switch. I’m thinking about a Xiaomi or something, what phone should I switch to? The only thing I really care about is that the software is free to modify and not completely cucked like iOS, iOS jailbroken is amazing but I don’t see any iOS 11 ones even close on the horizon, and a phone that’s quick, because i have always found iPhones to be extremely sluggish
Robert Wood
Xiaomi Mi Max 2. It's great if you watch a lot of videos or do other multimedia things.
David Turner
>can’t use 5T because Sprint sucks ass Why must they be so shit
Angel Diaz
Look up the SwiftBlack or SwiftDark themes on the Play store. The devs of those themes specialize in themeing the newer Samsungs.
Kayden Wright
My Iphone 6 is bricked could you guys suggest me 3 mid tier phones? I've had apple phones since 2008 looking to make a change.
5T has me interested initially,
Michael King
What do you look for in a phone?
Nathan Lewis
my 5s screen just broke and im looking to buy a new phone instead of wasting moeny on a new screen whats some of the best cheap phones
Josiah Rodriguez
I absolutely despise the slowdown that all my iphones seem to suffer after having them for a few years.
but honestly nothing too crazy, a nice display, decent memory and processor would do me.
Levi Cox
Get the OP5T
Jason Carter
Size?
Parker Ward
Probably wouldn't go much bigger than the 6.
Brayden Howard
Well, if you want a phone that's the same size as the iPhone 6, then the XZ1 Compact might be for you:
