New Moto midrange flagship king when

is there a wiki for finding a phone? or should I just ask here?

just list your needs and we'll recommend a handful of choices

The recommendations on installgentoo are outdated and should just be asked here. The market moves to fast to be updated

my gf ruri is so cute when i fug her

Why is your gf, ruri so cute?

...

because i fug her

And when you're not?

25% reduction in cute

Dose the manufacturer for the umx phones (telepooch) have a website in Chinese or something? I want to see if they have update zips, but a Google search of the company name gives me almost nothing.

cca 200€
mainly texting and browsing
looking for good battery life, decent camera, solid build quality, basically best bang for the buck

:(

Any particular issues with the Huawei mate 10?
Other than mediocre camera, EMUI, and AI meme?

Xiaomi Mi5s Plus
Sony Xperia Z3
Sony ZenFone 3
Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Also to add, Sony Xperia XA1

Theres no G6 on there boi

USA
AT&Tickle my asshole
Long battery life, processing power, decent storage space. It'll be my day-to-day text, call, browse the web, listen to podcasts media device. Fingerprint scanner is a must. Neat gesture features like the G5Plus camera/flashlight chops are desirable as well.
Budget is around 500 and below.
No iPhones or Samsung. Been there, hated that.

Ily /spg/

Might be worth noting my last two phones were the Moto G3 and G5 Plus

budget is $250, what's a good phone for me that has:
more processing power than my lumia 635
better camera compared to my lumia 635
not larger than a non plus moto G5S

Is LG G3/G4 good in 2018? Planing on upgrading from J3 2016

Bro I had Moto G3 and I still miss it, the texture of the body on the back and weight in your hand made it feel substantial. That thing was waterproof and had a Sony IMX214 camera for $100. Too bad mine was the 8gb/1gb version.

I loved that phone and I love this one. They're so comfortable to hold and use and I love the UI setup. I love Motorola G series but I also feel like it's time for a change.

i want to spend a fuck ton of money on a phone like the consumerist shithead that i am

i was thinking s9+ when it comes out (when is that btw?)

In disbelief I got an octo-core for $99 off the shelf. Samsung J7 Sky Pro. Really nice performance, I've got youtube streaming music in split-screen while browsing.

Have you checked the Z Play? It has a great battery but I didn't like the physical design much. Also are you looking for 5" or 5.5" sizes? There's new versions being announced but that's at the end of the month.

What differences in performance am I looking at between these?

>630 + adreno 508
>835 + adreno 540
>801 + adreno 330

If you really want to be a consumerist shithead, get an iPhone X

2 months

Going to upgrade my axon 7 to a oneplus 5t. Is it worth it? I honestly hate the battety on my axon

So what is the recommended tablet these days? I want an android device that is rootable and has a SD card slot. C rom availability and removable battery are bonuses.

No budget, just lay all your suggestions on me and I'll go over them. Cheers lads.

Surface Pro, or just any old chinese tablet. ARM is fucking trash.

Moto g6 plus in stock on Amazon when?

iPad

>lagPad

Should I buy a Galaxy S8 from eBay? If its -$100 than what most other stores sell it for, surely it's authentic?

>surely it's authentic?
Or stolen.

Australia

$800AUD

Nice screen, good battery, good camera, overall fast hardware. Upgrading from an S6, was considering the Note FE, S8, Pixel, and a couple of other phones, pls help Sup Forums

s8, v30, mate 10 pro

> I was thinking the S8, but the FE is $150 cheaper and has an S-Pen

any recommended up to date midrangers that don't have any speakers firing in a direction that isn't the user's head?

So I finally gave in to peer pressure and got myself a smartphone after 20+ years of using regular cellphones. I have no idea what the fuck I'm looking at, but I'm certain it's full of bloatware that I don't need (I see fucking MS Word in here), plus lacking shit that I might actually need. Where do I begin?

>3 pixel 2 xl's, all effectively in some way or another.
>Google customer support is shit, lied to 6 times, didn't receive any of 6 scheduled callbacks, agents argued on the phone in front of me.
>Rogers basically paid me $150 to take an iPhone x instead.

Man, I don't really like iOS, but the X is a nice device, and for being paid $150 to take it, works for me, I'll just sell it when the pixel 3 comes out for a less depreciated value than the pixel 2 would have been.

>Feelsgoodman

always used iphone (currently 6), wanna switch to android so i can download files/games off the web. i just care about battery life and efficiency, not camera or other gimmicks.

>buy dumb garbage that breaks 3 times
>"compromise" with a $1400 phone
>"Maybe next year I can buy dumb garbage again"

Literally what is your life

What the hell do you mean compromise with a $1400 phone, like I said, they paid ME $150 to take the iPhone x. I didn't pay anything for it. Before this I had a nexus 6p which was a great phone, which is why I went with the pixel 2 and will try a pixel 3 when it comes out hoping they've fixed what was broken. That's what iterations are for.

Why the fuck are you so salty?

You're wrong, you are paying for it over time.

I'm paying $36/mo for unlimited calling, texting, long distance and 4gb data because I didn't get a carrier device. You're paying a lot more than this I can guarantee.

What's the next logical upgrade to Moto X pure on Verizon? Need a phone that works on cdma and has unlocked bootloader. Preferably has a microsd slot.

Christ why are people so easily offended and petty

I'm not offended. But you shouldn't be thinking they're "paying" you to take a phone.

You ARE paying for it. It's called letting you know that the Jews indeed are charging you for your phone.

lol?

I'm paying $50 Canadian a month for 10gb data, unlimited talk text, voicemail, unlimited international calling, and free Spotify, and that's with the iPhone x they paid me $150 to take. So no, I pay about what you pay considering currency conversion. You're just wrong.

I'm in Canada. There is no currency conversion.

Any advice on a phone? Currently have the G5......

USA
T-Mobile

Would like decent sound & good camera. Occasional youtube video. Otherwise text/phone & websurf

Pref below 600$

Then im paying $15 more than you for 6gb more data, I'm not that miffed. And if you do the math, with the $150 I'm actually only expaying $2.50 more than you. Get rekt.

Xiomi mi mix 2, one plus 5t

Is the original Pixel XL still worth a buy at this stage? Trying to decide between that and the V20

Thinking about getting a stylus phone, maybe a refurb note 5 or a LG stylo pro 3. Thoughts? Is there any other alternatives?

The note FE

Wait a second, how did I never hear about that one? Looks pretty good...

Damn, I can get one for not TOO much either. Worth 550 USD?

>Country
France
>budget
Not more than 350€

I just want texting, maybe use messenger, and a basic internet usage (like checking wikipedia or Sup Forums).
Pls no iPhone.

ehhh fuck it I want something much smaller than this but with a stylus. I want to go under 200 usd possibly.

Galaxy S5 or Moto E4+ 32?

Anyone?

My Moto G3 just fucked itself. Should I just get a G5?

What are your requirements?

Sub AUD300, microSD slot, 13MP+ camera, decent build quality/longevity. Not super fussed about performance but the less lag, the better. A removable battery would be ideal too.

Any good ROMS for Xiaomi mi a1? Or only the unofficial. LineageOS?

I very much dislike googlenet

Does anyone here have a s7, what's your sot ? Is it worth to get the s7 over the terminal note 4x ? I like battery life and a good screen :)

Xperia X with Paranoid Android worth it for 100 euros?

Not too big of a difference in day to day, in games it's huge difference 835>630>801

OP5T owners: did you experience battery drain after updating to Oreo?

Not really

moto z play or galaxy s7 used

Ayyy I got Simple mobile too senpai

How long does a full charge last for you?

I can get full 3 days when I stay home
If I go out then 2

Do amoleds still turn green?

My redmeme has 4100 mah battery and only lasts a full day, how?

heavier use, brighter screen, different SoC
there can be many explanations

Are there any good phones you can get with Verizon?

No.

Did you do something special to download the update? I just downloaded it, but I've heard about clean and dirty installs. I'm not well versed in Android...

>
>Xiomi mi mix 2, one plus 5t
I have both. Go OP5T. MIUI sucks

nah, just downloaded the update

Anyone?

Why do you have 2 current phones?

I'm waiting until lineage is ported to pixel 2 before I buy it, is there another device I should look at in the mean time?

My plan is to run lineage without gapps, and flash magisk and microg

Lineage is already on pixel 2 and android without gapps is retarded.

Is it really? How well does this work? I was looking on the official site and didn't find much or even on xda pixel 2 so page.

I don't use gapps at all, the only reason why I'm using microbiology because some apps need it

Your best bets are probably j7 2017 or p10 lite. If you're willing to spend more you could get mate 10 pro or a5 2017. I checked with "še več", if you have other plan, you have to check it for yourself

I meant microg not microbiology

Pixel is nearly stock android why the fuck would you want to use a pajeet rom? It's going to fuck up the camera and the pixel core.


Just freeze gapps using titanium backup and install gravitybox for tweaks.

For privacy and I don't care about the camera and I don't need the bloat

You're a fucking retard.

Best battery saver for Android?

What phone did you got? What shit is missing that you actually need?
