Thanks lleresche. I have been looking at comparisons of K3 note, Doogee Valencia, Elephone P6000 & Meizu Note 4.

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/302d4a98e

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/9fcf4a9a6

While these four more or less cancel each other out, Elephone P6000 has 4 core processor, lesser image resolution but 2700mAh battery.

Doogee Valencia Y100 has a 4 core processor and 1800mAh battery so a big no

Meizu M2 Note is good with 3100mAh and equal to K3 note with a 3000mAh.

But I have decided on K3 note, mainly because of the support in XDA forums and better performance in benchmark results. It might be too big as it is 5.5 but I am going to give this a go. Spending far too much time on a phone and this is not good :)

Thanks a lot of your assistance. Feel free to post your thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE or Nexus 6p

I was looking to upgrade to either the SGS6 Edge or the Nexus 6p I can't decide.

The SGS6 Edge is £399 for 64GB and quite a good Spec but you get horrible touchwiz UI.

The nexus 6p however will have a great interface and the latest updates. The only thing swaying me to the s6 is it is the 6p is £450 for 32GB or £499 for 64GB a bit pricey in comparison.

I really liked both my Nexus 4 and 5. I currently have the SONY z1 compact.

Has anyone got any information to help me decide on one or the other?

Thanks
[General Topics] lleresche:
I would recommend the nexus. The edge of the galaxy is a ticking bomb. You will probably drop your phone 1 or 2 with the galaxy edge I guess it won't give a single chance and will break the screen. reparation is probably insane.

Bit it only The touchwiz thing is your problem, you can always take a clean android rom and flash your phone. The cimunoty is still very active for it. There is the HTC m9 good choice. as well the meizu pro 5 coming out soon and will be a beast but I don't know (think) stronger than the nexus. But at least have sd support and it's "cheap" ( meizu pro 5) I didn't look at the specs yet from the nexus but just by experience the nexus are very good phone and I always recommend

If you say I believe you. I have a galaxy s4 and it was pretty easy to find a clean rom and I tought was the same for the S6

Which Galaxy S4? There are lots:

GT-I9500 (Chipset - Exynos 5 Octa 5410 CPU - Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 GPU - PowerVR SGX 544MP3)[2]

GT-I9505 (Quad-core Snapdragon 600, LTE)

GT-I9506 (Quad-core Snapdragon 800, LTE-A)

GT-I9515 value edition (Quad-core Snapdragon 600, LTE)

SHV-E300K/S/L (Korean; Exynos 5 Octa-core, LTE)

For the Exynos one the first cyanogenmod nightlies started to appear in February 2014 and the phone was released in April 2013. For the Snapdragon ones this was much quicker, but there are no Snapdragon versions of SGS6.

Guys, g3 or xperia z3? I have a g3, and while it's pretty great, the battery is somehow ****ty and dt2w is unresponsive 99% of the time in custom ROMs, and i can't use stock ROM. I've heard good things about the z3 and i like that it's a bit smaller than the g3, but im not shure about this. My only concern is custom ROM development, it seems somehow low on z3.. Is there anyone who owned both? Other user opinions about z3 and g3 are also welcome. :)

wich should i go with, LG g3 or Xperia z3?

Hy guys, i don't know where to ask, so i'll just post here hope you guys will help me. I currently own a G3, and while the phone is great, some things just annoy me. Like battery, i wouldn't say i have a "heavy" usage, and it barely lasts me a day. And, dt2w works like crap on custom ROMs, and LG's software is a joke. And i really, really almost never use the camera, but on custom ROMs it's drastically worse. The ROM development is kinda ok, since i come from KLTE it's better. But the z3 caught my eye. It's slightly smaller wich is good since i need to use my g3 with two hands, ip68 certificate is also good since i work with cars and there is dust ALL the time and water sometimes, the battery is reported to be good also, and i don't know what's the deal with that sony open something program(maybe someone could explain?) But yet, i'm not so shure about this. The ROM development sure is lower than that on G3, but there are some ROMs and they seem stable, and i saw Sony pushing aosp builds and that's cool also. I need your opinion guys, every opinion is good. Thanks :)

Started looking again

My Oneplus One recently broke and now I need a new Phone.

I'm really not sure what to choose and I don't know where to start looking, so I'm asking for suggestions.

I start with some useful information which might help you suggesting something.

The things I like about the Oneplus One which I would love to have on my new Phone either.

The large screensize which was 5,5"

NFC chip is very important to me.

I love to flash so I would like it if many custom roms support it.

I am doubting about a new Oneplus One, HTC A9 or a Nexus Device.

Anyone who can help me out?

new midrange vs old flagship?

im torn on dropping $210 on a brand new moto g or a 1yr old moto x pure...pricing is similar on both, i have no problems using old phones...been using the original moto x now since it came out and had it not been for the fact that i recently dropped it in water and now i can't make phone calls i'd probably still be using the phone. i love the fact that the x got lollipop upgrade but i know this is the end of the line on the phone so i'm taking that into account as well for whatever phone i get next. i really don't do anything special other than social media and texting on my phone and the occasional web browsing...zero gaming ever. what do you guys think i should do here? new moto g or get a used 2014 x pure?

O i do use a lot of root apps but for this discussion i know both bootloaders can be unlocked through motorola

Hey,

i'm searching for a new phone with the following specs:

-a very good battery

-very nice camera

-about 5.5 inch full hd

-dual sim

-storage: internal min. 16gb and sd slot or internal 64gb and no sd slot

-if possible, good custom rom support, a fingerprint scanner, nfc

-eventually usb type c, but i'm not sure about that

PRICE: Max. 400€(remember its €, in europe smartphones are a lot more expensive than in the us.

I thought maybe 1+2 is a good choice, but no nfc.

Moto x play is great too, how about the camera?

And what about the Zenfone 2?

Thanks for your help!
[General Topics] Planterz:
$210 on a 2014 Moto X is a far better deal than $220 for the Moto G. The sacrifice is battery life and microSD slot, but it seems like that's not an issue for you.

I've long been a proponent of going with flagships from a generation or even 2 and saving money rather than spending top-dollar for the latest and greatest. Some devices are an exception, such as the Moto X Pure/Style. But right now you can get a brand-new LG G3 for $240, a 64gb OnePlus One for $300, Nexus 6 64gb for $400, etc.

Should I get the S6 Edge or Edge+?

So basically I want to know if I should get the Edge or the Edge+. I'm really compelled as they both have advantages and disadvantages as to what they offer.

S6 Edge:

- Rootable

- IR Blaster

- lighter

- Looks a little better

- Small screen

- App reloading issue

- Metal rail too sharp

- 3GB ram

-Smaller battery

S6 Edge+:

- Bigger screen size

- Better rail

- Android 5.1

- Apps edge

- Sleeker design

- 4GB ram

- Unrootable (Yes, I know that the G/C/I/J/K/T/W variants can be rooted but I'm going to have to stick to Verizon )

- No IR Blaster

- Not going to fit in pockets

- Will get too heavy
[General Topics] ashonk33:
I have a s6 edge and I like it, after the latest update (5.1.1 I think), it has definetly beefed up. There are still some issues, like lag. But for the most part it works great. The battery lasts for me on heavy use about 10-12 hours. With the fast charger that isn't a problem. The big thing is choosing phone or phablet. The metal rail isn't sharp?
[General Topics] dinisb:
Hi, I will stick with the Edge non + due the size, 5.1 it's ok 5.7 is way to big imo. 3GB ram is more the enough these days.

I just gave my iPhone 6 to my daughter as here phone was damaged... So I need to buy a new one.

To be honest I'm tired of the Apple OS and ITunes.

I used to have a google nexus one (loved it) and a Samsung S2 and S3 (also both great except for the Samsung bloatware.

I love flashing custom rom's and the Samsung S6 is at the best choice regarding hardware specs at the moment I think.

The only drawback I see is that there a not many custom rom's available.

The Sony Z5 is also looking good but this has no Oled screen and I read a lot about the processor SD810 getting hot and throttling...

I also read about bad wifi reception ?

I'm not a heavy gamer so maybe the performance of the SD810 will be good enough?

Is it possible to root the Z5 easy and find a clean custom rom? (nexus like?)

Price is no point for me... but I like a fingerprintreader, prefer Oled and 5"~5,5"

Thanks in advance!

Hey, everyone, I need a little help here.

I had a Z3 Compact and was pretty happy with it, good battery life and small screen size.

I didn't feel really good about rooting it though, due to all the DRM stuff inside.

I'm looking for a new phone and the things that I care the most are:

* Screen size: No more than 5.1" (Actually, smaller would be even better)

* Expandable storage

* Good battery life

* Easy to root and active community development

I was thinking about getting an S5, but I'm not sure it's still worth it since it's not a new phone anymore.

I'm due for an upgrade on AT&T, but I'm not impressed with their phone selection. I don't care for Samsung phones, and I'll never buy an iPhone. I want a decent camera, and have fallen in love with stereo speakers (I currently have a HTC One M8). HTC's camera's continue to disappoint, so I'm not going to upgrade to the M9. I'm intrigued by the Moto X Gen 2, but I'm not sold. I'm also tempted to wait for the Lumia 950 to become available, but I use a variety of apps that I won't have access to on Windows 10. The kicker, I received a Project Fi invite, so that throws the Nexus 5X and 6P into the mix. The 6P would be my phone if it weren't so big. I'd like to hear some opinions of owners of these phones (except the Lumia, obviously). Are the stereo speakers worth going with the 6P? Is Windows Mobile a lost cause?

A few questions:

How's the cellular service for Project Fi?

How does the phone perform, any indication that having only 2GB of RAM has an affect on performance?

How's the loudspeaker? Is the sound quality good? Is it loud?
[General Topics] HungryKanamit:
Well my previous phone was a samsung galaxy s4 which also only had 2 GB of RAM too and honestly, I've never had a problem running out of RAM before, and the nexus 5x has a much better cpu. Battery life is great. I used it heavy the last two days doing syncing from my old phone and Google. So with normal use I'm sure the phone would last 2 days or so but time will tell as I've only had it since Friday night. I haven't tried any games or watched any movies on kodi yet but I'm sure there won't be any problems. When using the phone to make an actually phone call it sounds fine and works well. No issues with project fi service at all and the no contract and use of use of it makes it so much nicer than any carrier. The only thing bad about the nexus 5x packaged with project fi is that I won't be able to change the ROM for the foreseeable future. And the stock rom is missing a lot of the things I got used to in well packaged roms like a custom power menu (mine only has an option for power off, no restart) just to name an example. Overall, its a phone and I think 2GB of RAM is enough as I almost never go over 1.3 GB even on my old phone running lollipop 5.1 altho I am disappointed that the max storageoption for it was only 32GB

My mom has the moto x 2014 and hates the camera. The HTC one m8 I have takes way better pics than she is getting. My m8 takes pics comparable to my iPhone 5 which surprised me because of all the bad reviews on the m8 camera. She likes everything else about the moto x except that they sold her on the moto assist which almost never works. I gave her my iPhone 5 to try for a week and after 2 days she switched back because it was too small.

Thanks for the info. The Moto X was my last choice of the 4. Now it's Lumia 950, or either of the Nexus phones. I don't like that the 5X is plastic. I haven't owned a plastic phone since my Xperia X10. All of my phones have been in cases, so It's not a huge deal breaker. The metal cased phones just feel more durable. My major resistance to the Nexus phones is Project Fi. I've been with AT&T for 12 years. I've never had any major issues with AT&T. My company pays for my services, so pricing isn't an issue. I'm not sure I want to step up to a 5.7" device. I've held the iPhone 6 Plus...it's not too big for my hand...just not a phone I want in my pocket.
[General Topics] Planterz:
The S5 very well might be your best choice. The hardware is slightly aged, but still potent and more than capable of doing anything you can throw at it. Putting an AOSP/CM based ROM on it would help a lot too, since excessive TouchWiz features are what can bog this phone's performance down. If you're in North America, make sure you get a T-Mobile version, as it has an unlocked bootloader. Apart from that and the Sony Compacts, there really just aren't any newer, high-performance with both a small(er) screen and expandable storage.

One exception might be the upcoming OnePlus X/Mini. Official specs haven't been released, but it's said to have a SD801 (same as the G5 and Z3C) but might come with 3gb RAM. Plus it'll have a microSD slot, and assuming it follows the One and Two, it'll be basically a Nexus in terms of freedom and openness for development.
