I tried out the G4 for a couple weeks - Solid phone but ultimately I returned it. Mostly due to the fact that it was just a bit too big for me (I'm currently using an S4 - So I'm sure it's something that I would get use to eventually) and secondly was the battery drain. I felt like even by having it in my pocket and not using it, I was still losing a lot of battery. I couldn't make it a day without having to charge it, and that was with average use. I have no idea about the Nexus 5X, so I can't really help you there at all. But there's my thoughts on the G4. Solid phone, but just wasn't for me.

Galaxy S6

I love my new Samsung Galaxy s6. I would recommend it to everyone looking for a new phone! I could ramble on about the features etc but most people already know or need to do a little research. My s6 is an unlocked att phone with straight talk service. Straight talk is horrible btw. You definitely do not get 4g lte speeds! You get what you pay for though.
[General Topics] tahercool1:
If you want excellent developer support on xda, fast updates, stock android experience, then go for 5X. The benefit of G4 are removable battery and expandable storage. Which is less and less common in today's flagships.

Hi everybody!

After 4 (maybe 5) years I'm gonna change my Galaxy S2 . I'd like to switch to some flagship model like S6 / S6 Edge or the Z5. I'm more oriented on the S6 Edge, but I would like to ask you what are the effective better features in comparison to the S6? Is a phone with that kind of screen solid enough?

What about the Z5 vs. the S6? I really like the sony android interface, is the phone worth the price?

Please tell me if you have any other suggestion about smartphones that I didn't mentioned or anything else.

Thanks a lot in advance :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys I have an LG G Pro currently and I guess I am a restless phone owner as I have owned many many different phones. My biggest need is battery life I have bluetooth always on for my pebble and LG 730s I listen to audio books a lot as well as some photos for work. The G pro has been with me for 10 months now and before that I had a note 3 that I ditched due to horrible GPS and touchwiz. The G Pro is going to be stuck on Kitkat and I want something that will have updates for a while (Android M). I have not owned a phone for 10 months ever but financial constraints have kept me from getting as many toys as I once did. Anyhow here is the point I have Cricket so AT&T devices, I picked up a Note 4 yesterday for $270 am I going to be happy with that or what are some suggestions?

[General Topics] john.galt:
I tried the G4 out for a week or two and had to return it and get the Nexus 6 instead. Its a slick phone for sure, and the fact that it's one of the remaining devices that actually has expandable storage scores a bunch of brownie points, but ultimately, it failed to be a very developer friendly phone (with T-Mobile anyway), no device should make someone work that hard to root/unlock, not that it was too difficult but the fact it isn't just simpler than it should be is a smack in the face to the entire Android fan base, and that just annoys the **** out of me.

Youll either love or hate the back buttons, but you'd definitely hate the battery life. Worst battery experience I've had in forever. Takes literally hours to full charge unless you leave the screen completely off the entire time its charging, but will die after only a handful of hours even with minimal use.

I'd def pass on it if I were you. I've really enjoyed the Nexus 6 so far despite a couple drawbacks that can be irritating but not deal breakers. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Nexus device tbh. Pretty solid phones/tablets, and obviously developer friendly ?

[General Topics] Planterz:
Yeah, that's a good choice. It's a smaller phone, yet still has a good sized screen. And it feels great in the hand. The M8 is a good phone too, but it'll be significantly larger and heavier. The Sony Z1 Compact would be a great choice as well, but I don't know if one would be in your price range.

I'm on the search for a new phone. It's important that the phone has a good custom ROM support (love custom ROMs).

It has to have a good camera, a replaceable battery and reliable hardware (decent manufacturer).

And I rather buy a phone from last year because they are more payable. Budget around € 300 - 400.

What do you think?

Hello guys,

Im choosing new smartphone, but Im in doubt what to buy. Personally I would like to buy phone with big screen and with infrared feature. From this I found only Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 (8030y) and LG G3. In my country there is difference in price - LG G3 is about $100 more expensive then Hero 2. On the other hand, the LG G3 has a lot of custom roms and also update on Android 5 Lollipop. Hero 2 has only 4.4.2. KitKat, but there is no information about update on Android 5.

Another difference is about size of display, where LG G3 has 5,5" and Hero 2 6" (with stylus). Other specifications are very similar to each other.

So my question is, what to buy? what you can recommend to me please? Is that impossibility of Android update on Hero 2 so big problem or we can live without it? :D

Thanks forward for your help and answers,

Feyse

I'm at a major crossroad when it comes to a cell phone choice. I'm not sure which one to choose. I'm currently using a GS3 running Wicked X. Figured it's time to upgrade do to the recent releases of "appleroid" phones.

Sprint is my carrier

Things I like to do:

Root

Run Viper audio

Illustrate/draw (I own a good drawing stylus)

Take photos

Play some retro games

Watch Plex/Kodi

Ample developer support

Install a low bloat ROM

Like removeable battery

External SD card.

I'm not a person who changes roms daily. Just a good stable rom.

My choices are:

GS5 for $1

Note 4 - $1

LG G3 - $1

LG G4 - $49

I've read many reviews but but without actually using them I'm clueless. People talk about the LG G4 but it seems to barely bw rooted at best.

Hello!

I was eligible for an upgrade through Verizon and I just ordered a Nexus 6. I've had Notes for the last 2 years. However, i wanted to experience stock Android and I'd also read that it is easier to root a Nexus (is this true?). I've never rooted before but want to with this next phone. Anyhow, I know that the Note 5 has a few more ppi on its display, 1 GB more RAM, etc., but as far as being able to root and customize, would you also go with the Nexus 6? (I know i said i just ordered, but there is a return policy. Also, i really would've gone with the Nexus 6P but apparently that won't be carried by networks and i don't want to pay THAT much (i.e. the non-discounted price), so really for me the choices are between the Nexus 6 and the Note 5.)
