Where does everyone in Aus buy their stuff? I got an axon 7 from gearbest and it was faulty, returning it for an lg g6 from aliexpress. Is it gonna be just as shitty?
Easton Reed
Kogan, ebay, ozbargain deals. Never let me down Sorry to hear about the faulty, my experience with alie has always been fantastic but I've never bought anything over $30 from there
I think they are, their videos are pretty good to me

>Have a Note5 for my birthday 2 years ago >My first high end smartphone >So good I made my dad get one for himself, a lot of spreadsheets and work stuff so stylus is pretty useful for him >Mine is slowly dying due to age, cracked glass, battery drains faster, etc. I'm thinking on getting an iPhone X up next. Considering the N5 never disappointed me should I get the Apple or a Note8? Price is irrelevant to me. I just want a fast and good phone for social media and photography/video.
Jace Morales
I own the Note 8, my brother has the Mate 10 Pro and my dad has the X. I'd rate them in that order, the Note 8 literally has never let me down so far and if you don't like the size and stylus then go for Mate 10 Pro or like v30+/s8+/Pixel 2 XL/OP5T Best this year I'd say
Grayson Thompson
Best
Christopher Harris
How's the X interface and fluidty? Never had and iPhone so I don't know what to expect from iOS, wish I could play with one before purchasing, as for the Note it would be a seamsless transition from the 5 to the 8
Luis Roberts
IPhone se or x compact. Help. Leaning towards iPhone for longer updates and leaning towards x compact because of freedums.
depending on what are you using the phone. If only you plan on use it for social media/photos then go for the iphone. If freedom is that important go x compact flash a rom and no gapps
Luis Diaz
There are a few bq phones that are quite good. I even saw the bq x for around 200 Euros recently. You can also take a look at the Motorola budget line like the moto g5 I think. Nokia 5 is available for 170 Euros I think.
Ryan Jones
X is fine. Probably the only thing that can run ios11 perfectly. Notifications are still just a clusterfuck, and I don't really like the swipe closing, feels unpredictable. But it's an Iphone, does what it says simply and thats it. It's a good phone none the less. Really smooth. It might take you a day to get used to the note 8, but then you're in, there's no looking back. It's fucking beautiful and the user experience is amazing, especially if you ignore touchwiz, which has been improved considerably, but is still touchwiz
Luke Diaz
WHICH TO BUY:
SAMSUNG J3 / J5 / J7 / A3 or MOTO G5S
UK here i'm looking for a sim free phone for under £230 and I need to pick one of these (don't want to buy any cheap chink branded phones like ximi or huawei etc)
Noah Scott
>according to some pajeet mod eh, not impossible still
Jacob Garcia
Thinking of switching off my 2 year old iPhone 6S Plus to OnePlus 5T. Is this a good move? I don't do much on my phone now, browse web, use gps, and play some games. Is the camera terrible? I don't need it to be great, but would use it to take pictures.
Does the thing also not get a lot of software updates? Most stuff I have read dings the camera and software refresh cycle. I'm in the US and have Mint SIM for service. Thanks!
Leo Wood
country: UK carrier: EE budget: £350 and under ( could maybe stretch to £400) Wanted features: Good signal, good battery life, decent screen, high quality back camera, headphone jack.
Isaiah Lopez
>touchwiz >fast
lol
Dylan Brooks
Had my Note8 for about a couple of months now. Everything about it is perfect. I've had a couple of freezing issues with Snapchat and a couple game but upon some light google-fu it's because they are shit entirely for android. Everything else runs great and fast. But I am still trying to learn how to take good shots in Pro mode for the camera. Anyway, I have an Incipio case on it and lately I have been getting drunk a lot and waking up with it fallen on the ground or just dropping it in general from pocket height onto hardwood and tile and no fucking damage at all at least externally. Best 30 bucks ever.

>I haven't used touchwizz since 2012 Fuck off. I would go with the Note8. That's packing uptodate everything unlike apple products plus that Notch is buttfucking ugly. You will have a better social media experience with it as well if not the same.
Bentley Miller
Yes, good camera, updates will only be revealed in time but user pushed will always exist. Its a good phone
Mason Stewart
Ive got an S6 as a spare phone, its basically perfect except for the piss poor battery life. Ive read around that its possible to replace the battery with an S7 edge one.. is it worth the trouble though?
Kind of split between just selling it or upgrading the battery.
Nathan Watson
Absolutely not. Almost no fact checking, reviews are shit. Just look at how they do their photos in them. Several times some dudes been like "yeah I took these pictures through a window because it was raining outside, but it's pretty obvious the camera is lacking".
Jose Carter
>Literally the same specs as my Redmi Note 4X Why are the still releasing everything with SD625s? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jayden Jones
BH had the Moto Z Play for 250 yesterday and I bought it. I currently have a Note 4 (SD805 version). How much of a downgrade is this going to be?
I really liked the interchangeable batteries of the Note 4, but goddamn I get like maybe 11 hours usage with 2.5 hours of screen on time and I just can't deal with that anymore.
Bentley Kelly
I read somewhere that the V20's second screen is actually part of the main screen. Does that mean that if I have that on while the main display is sleeping that it eats battery just like having always on notifications on other non OLED screens?
Grayson Williams
Iphone 8 or pixel 2 gents
Which is simply the better phone
Chase Perry
Not sure about relative performance, but you'll get infinite battery life and a good enough SOC that won't be ridiculously fast but probably won't ever feel slow aside from 3D games.
Jace Jones
That's really what I'm after. I'd rather not get anxiety about battery life like I currently do. I really only use my phone for messaging, browsing, and Spotify. No games or anything so a mid range gpu is probably fine. Considering picking up the power pack mod, best buy has it clearanced to 37 bucks. I know the battery life of the phone is pretty ridiculous to start, but instead of paying 20 for a case, why not spend a bit more and get the mod that acts as a case (sorta).
Oliver Williams
I want to buy a new phone and I need to decide between Lg g6 and xiaomi mi6 Where I live they cost roughly the same which one would be better for taking photos and all around use I plan to install android oreo on both
Easton Wilson

Caleb Scott
I just ordered the lg g6 from what ive heard its god tier for its price, a quick search of the mi6 specs is telling me that the only edge it has is 6gb of ram and a newer chipset
Zachary Morales
>social media just know that androids suck at snapchat no matter the device
Joshua Garcia
G5S Practically stock Android with no pre-installed bloatware shit.
Ian Lopez
Bought a Pixel 2 XL. Should I return it and buy a note 8 or iPhone x? The only thing that interests me is GOOD zoon quality inside of the viewfinder, not outside of it.
I use my phone as makeshift binoculars because I'm blind.
I also use it for remotely connecting to my desktop in order to do some work.
My previous phone was a Pixel XL
Tyler Adams
yes
Julian Watson
G6 or Nokia 8, XZ1, OP5, got a few options there. G6 can be picked up for
Jayden James
What's the sound quality on non-Quad-DAC LG G6?
As there's effectively no hope for root on H870DS I'm ready to sacrifice supposedly great sound to just get some goddamn phone already to replace my OPO that served me well and lived through a lot.
Gavin Lee
Looking at Xiaomi Mi Note 3 its around 290€ all in all from aliexpress
What other phones should I look at in 5-5.5" size range?
Jaxon Foster
I have around 500 AUD budget (with some flexibility) for a new phone. What should I get?
Xavier Lewis
Anyone here use iOS? I just changed from android and I used to use clover to browse le 4chins. Fortune seems nice but I can’t jailbreak since I am on the latest iOS. Does anyone know how to get fortune without using shady VPNs and shit.
Ryder Foster
The iPhone X.
Can’t afford it? Get a job.
Samuel Lewis
amazon has it brand new for around £350
Aiden Harris
mi a1 is 5.5" If you want to spend more the pixel 2 is 5"
Kevin Murphy

Chase Ross
The note 8 looks perfect. I'm trying to find a justification for purchasing it since I got a oneplus 3t a year ago. When should we expect a price drop for it?
Mason Diaz
When S9 and Note 9 are announced, but it's still gonna keep being expensive for a long while. Even Note 5 prices are still more than half of what it used to be.
Grayson Jones
Download the fortune app apk on your computer and use cydia impactor to get it on your iphone
Asher Diaz
Daily reminder to never buy an Huawei phone outside of Europe chinkland and USA otherwise you'll be stuck with the same version of Android forever.
Bentley Cook
Nokia 5/6 or Moto g5
I have a Moto g4 play running official lineage, all i need. Moto g4 play are retarded cheap these days. If you want the smallest screen and price get this one.
Liam Myers
>Moto g5 xiaomi redmi 4 will get you better SoC, 625 instead of 440 and much larger battery,4100 vs 2700 I think and all metal body, infra, fingerprint,...
only question is LTE if you can get some redmi with global or if you make heavy use of it..
Justin Lee
He specifically asked for non xiaomi ones you retarded nigger shill
Aiden Anderson
After switching to Linux full time, I’m replacing my iPhone 6+ with an Android phone.
A lot of “flagship” phones like the 5T however fast, look pretty cheaply made. What’s the Apple of Android manufacturers? I don’t care much about software as I will be running a custom ROM. From my uninformed guesses Samsung and Sony seem to make the best hardware judging by appearance. Am I wrong?
Jaxson Turner
if you mean literal applel of android then it's obviously google with the pixlel 2
Isaiah Collins
Make sure your future purchase does actually have custom ROMs or at least unlocked bootloaders.
There is no Apple in Android, every manufacturer fills the market with all sorts of phones they can possibly produce. Samsung is generally considered the best, but you may be losing a lot by installing custom ROMs there, Sony is a bit better with being open but no better in actual hardware than the likes of LG, OnePlus is the price/performance purchase that is perhaps the most open towards modding and custom ROMs and while I only have the first one I have no qualms about its build quality.
Landon Cooper
Pixel 2 is a good option, yes, if you don't need the headphone jack.
Jeremiah Bailey
I’m doing the same, but I chose the 5T. Do check the custom ROM support for the phone you choose beforehand, or you might make a big mistake.
Henry Wright
I was looking at trading my iPhone for an S7 edge which has official Lineage support, I read that it’s a great phone.
Brayden Taylor
What is the general consensus on the Blackberry motion?
Huge battery, sturdy, secure, fast, big, recently released. Honestly i don't see any downsides except for it being expensive.
Jacob Morales
I got a used LG G6 for € 250 did I do good Sup Forums?
Matthew Clark
SC recently announced that they're revamping their Android app Soon™, so this might not be the case for much longer, thankfully.
John King
what are the thoughts on buying zte Axon 7 in 2018?
SoC is 820
Gabriel Bennett
Looking at an almost new Xperia XZ Premium for 340 € and really wondering if I should pull the trigger or go for a similarly priced LG V20 after all...
If you can handle the literal edge, yes.
Isaiah Diaz
My Zenfone 2 just died, recommend me a phone lads
Camden Barnes
To those interested in Verizon's $300 off a Pixel 2XL offer, despite being payed incrementally over a 2 year payment plan, try talking to your csr. They really want you to buy a phone from them, and might be able to work it so that you are able to get $300 off in a lump sum if you pay in full at the store.
$550 for a pixel 2xl is a decent enough deal for those interested.
Angel Wood
I really feel like buying a Razer Phone, it's seems really tempting with the 8GB of RAM. I currently have a Honor 5x that I bought for $100 during the Amazon Prime Day last year. Is it worth it, lads?
Henry Diaz
Its a good phone, there's just better if you're happy to pay
Eli Phillips
I mean, I'm more than happy to pay more than $500, I've used budget cheap phones all my life. I'm ready to have an actual decent phone.
Elijah King
This moto G4 got water damaged a while back. It was switched off right away and dried for about 4 days. So... What does it want to tell me? The recovery mode says that the device is loading but I don't really think it is. Any idea what the problem could be? I can't really intepret what the behaviour of the device is signalising. ((I figured this would be the best place to ask while causing the least amount of disturbance.))
Samuel Hall
Note 8, Pxl 2 XL, v30+, mate 10 pro are probably the top of the table right now
Do I try to fix my redmi note 3 or do I move onto the 4x?
Josiah Rodriguez
is it worth getting the op5 instead if i dont want to spend the extra money
Xavier Phillips
My "eye filter" app only filters th screen but not the notification tray.
What app will do this?
App I use is "EyeFilter" and I'm on Android O. Android N never gave me this issue.
Hudson Long
Man how do so many people buy flagship phones? I spent $320 on my phone which is the price of a 16 thread x86 CPU. Are the $700 phones really that much faster at web browsing?
Nathaniel Gray
>USA >Verizon
Should I get a moto z play for $320? Looking for a good, cheap, durable phone with an sd card slot and not shit battery life. This phone seems pretty good but it's more than a year old, anything newer I should get instead? The Z play is pretty much the top of my price range.
Nathan Gomez
I'm pretty keen on the Razer as well, just waiting to see if it gets an Australian release and get a few reports of longevity and reliability.
Thomas Jenkins
does somebody here have a iphone 4s? is it still usable? kinda want one, it‘s so qt...the used prices are ridiculous tho
Hunter Butler
if it's the qt you like, what about the iphone se?
Liam Morales
Probably, look up some spec comparisons
Jackson Young
posting from my SE, will get another one when the price drops since I fucked up by getting 32gb instead of 128 tho was just curious about the 4s
user here who's looking up to upgrade by Christmas from his HTC One M9 for 3 years.
What would be better a Google pixel 2 xl or a Samsung Note 8? This is kind of a tough decision because I'm trying to look for a phone that has big battery big screen and good waterproofing

Do you plan on using the stylus?
Jace Wood
Ehh I like the idea of a stylus and I have tried it myself and it's seems good buy I don't know if I would use always
Parker Nguyen
Pixel then
Jack Sanchez
Is the IP67 and crappy screen something to worry about?
John Gonzalez
Tried it, same issue unfortunately
Dylan Ward
I have a first gen Moto G for like 3 or 4 years now. I now feel the time is right to update and I was thinking of either Samsung Galaxy Note S8, Huawei Mate 10 Pro or Google Pixel 2 XL.
>Good battery life >Would use Camera a lot >Listen to music/podcasts >Use Android IDE and program/productivity stuff I'm in Canada
Jaxon King
Well if you've got time on your hands you can return it until you get a perfect one. Not ideal.
Owen Howard
Whichever is cheaper unless you absolutely want a stylus then there's only one choice.
