I'm not sure actually about nexus devices.

I haven't used them yet but i wouldn't go for the new N5X or the N6P but would actually go for the N5 or the N6 because their prices got dropped and i don't think the new nexus devices are really worth it but that's just my opinion.

If i would like AOSP feeling i would choose a Motorola device except the fast and secure updates will i miss that Nexus device has.

I'm really enthousiast about LG because they are the second most secured android phone makers.

Nexus is the most secure phone(s) but LG is the second most secure while Samsung and HTC are one of the worst secured companies in western countries.

I just readed that news last night here is the source of the news: http://arstechnica.com/security/201...udy-finds-87-of-android-devices-are-insecure/

Is nexus 6p a good phone In your opinion? I want to buy a new phone in a few months. I hate my note 4 with every inch of my soul, It lags, it drives me insane, i just don't like it, no roms and slow updates! it made me no longer like having a phone and not to use my phone unless I really need to!

I watch videos in my phone, I also need OTG, a good Wi-Fi range (for my parrot bebop) and speed;

I Also play games so I don't want it to lag in games, Not only games but most importantly UI, I saw huawei p8 which is a budget phone but it has a buttery smooth UI! I want something like that! or I hate to say it but s6 and note5(note 5 is expensive and both don't get updates, and after 3 HUGE disappointments I don't feel like getting Samsung again)

moto x style is not available in my country!

OnePlus two is but it costs 700$ :| and a it takes a month(min) to ship here!

I don't like any of phones these day!

This is saying a lot for me but i would go for iphone 6s if it wasn't so expensive (maybe if it was 500-700$ for 64gb)

I want to have this phone for like 3-2 years min! So it better be good! my nexus 4 was the best phone I had, if its like that than its awesome :) although it was driving me a bit crazy at the end for becoming slow! (a bit ui and not being able to play dead trigger without min graphics)

I rather buy anything cheaper if its good enough! I'm really on a budget now!

Sorry for super long post, but one last question: Why isn't there any reviews or news or anything on the nexus 6p :| it sounds weird! its like nobody likes nexus 6p :D
[General Topics] Oski146:

No Roms for the note 4 lol? Where are you looking ..there is a ton of development for it even now a year later.

Other than being ugly the only thing that makes me hestitant on the 6p is the snapdragon 810.

Alot of issues with it on every device which has it and before anyone mentions its the updated version realize that all 810s have issues..they just throttle the thing to minimize them.

He's got the Exynos one.

Anyway, since every phone is different, before we discard all 810 phones, let's wait for the tests. But I too would suggest everybody to be cautious in buying 810 phones. Because of that and the price was that I chose the Nexus 6.
[General Topics] kamranhaghighi:
I have 910H and there are no AOSP or any good roms!

I Actually think nexus 6p looks good judging from photos, but about 810, I guess you're right, maybe I'll hope that some good devices get released next year (next nexus) with 820, or god forbid switch to iPhone!

Guys? how is sony xperia z5 premium compared to note 5?
[General Topics] eng3:
I posted a while back about my next "perfect" phone.

With Verizon raising the unlimited price by $20, I'll probably be switching to ATT so its probably a good time to re-look at my options.

Project Fi comes to mind, but I have to get a nexus and the closest to my criteria is the Nexus 5X but it doesnt have a card slot or a removable battery.

Redoing my searches, i think the closest thing I've found is the Xperia Z5 compact. (or even just Z5). I think it meets all my criteria exact the removable battery. I think the camera should be good, its still early.

Can anyone think of any other new phones that I might have missed?
[General Topics] Planterz:
In the past day or so I read/watched a bunch of reviews, and some complain about how dim it is, yet others praise how bright it is. Weird. The ones that comment about it being dim seem to go by testing with equipment (nits) rather than subjective experience (eyeballs). I'm sure I'd be happy with the brightness.

But what about burn-in? In my research, it seems that burn-in is a problem with this phone, and now this has me more worried than anything else.

I currently own a Galaxy Note 4, love it to death. I just wish there was a root available. I found something in regards to a Chinese root, but I don't trust websites that I can't read. :p

I was looking at a Note 5, but a lot of people on XDA have made comments about it's software being junk, and no roots being made for it.

My question is; if I can't get a Note 5, what should I get? (I've had the Note 4 for like 6 months... Family members phone is the original Droid Incredible, she needs an upgrade, haha!)

Hello.

I'm lost and in need of advice.

Disclaimer: I will root my next phone.

I am thinking about the Note 4 (910C), however I'm afraid it will be simply too big. I am liking the s-pen which I may use (e.g. scrap-booking) , and some of the built in options like "Voice Recorder with Meeting Mode".

Next in line is S6, which is smaller than the Note, though has no other pros apart from a better performance.

Moto X Style has no fingerprint sensor and seems to be overpriced.

One plus two, no NFC, Snapdragon 810 and ridiculous waiting time.

I was considering Nexus 5x, however I'd rather get Xiaomi mi4c which has more RAM and is half the price.

At this moment I'm mostly leaning towards the note 4 even though I am not a fan of Samsung. Is it worth putting in the money for such a phone when I can get Xiaomi mi4c (which would be near perfect if it only had a fingerprint sensor) for much less money? Maybe I will just need to wait for the MI5, even if SD820 hasn't been tested out.

If you could give me a last piece of advice that would lean the scale, or suggest me another handset I would be thankful.

Any opinions/recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Regards.

Budget Phone

Hey guys,

I'm currently using a SGS6, but i need a small phone as a secondary device. Saw the Nexus 4 selling for about Rs 9700. So is it worth buying it now?

I need a small device. So <5 inch is preferable.

Thanks!
[General Topics] Lorenz15:

[General Topics] Planterz:
Camera sucks, battery life is mediocre, and storage is limited, but other than that, it's still a very capable device. The quad core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 and 2GB RAM make for a more powerful phone than any newer "budget" device in that price range like a Moto E or prior generation Moto G.

Hey all.

I have a Jiayu G3C, but its broken.

I was thinking to get a Galaxy s5 Mini, Im not sure it is the best choice of a smartphone costing under 300Euros at the moment.

i´m scared its too obsolete and lacking power for Android 6.0, the smartphone can be used I don´t mind.

Is the galaxy s4 Faster than the s5 Mini ??? ( I can have for 260Euros a new S4 and 240Euros a S5Mini) . I would need a small device so <5" is preferable It just need to be fast really fluid fast.

Thanks a lot if you reached here Best regards Peps

[General Topics] obscuresword:
All versions of the S4 (i9506: Snapdragon 800 >>> i9505/i9505G: Snapdragon 600 > i9500: Exynos 5 Octa 5410 in case you're wondering) are much faster than the S5 mini. The S5 mini's processor (Exynos 3 Quad 3470) is equivalent to phones that run the quad core variant of the Snapdragon 400 or Snapdragon 410.

In regards to getting Android 6.0 it depends on two factors. The first is what Samsung is updating, and the second is community custom rom support. From what I seen, it seems that both the S5 mini nor the S4 series won't be getting an OTA update to Android 6.0 by Samsung: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Comp...ow-leaks-includes-Samsung-Sony-and-LG_id74400. From the community standpoint the S5 mini doesn't have much in the way of roms (I counted like 4), while the S4 community has tons of options for every variant except the i9505G. The i9505G is the exception because it's the Google Play Edition meaning that it most likely may get the Android 6.0 update directly from Google as it was released the same year as the Nexus 5, which already got it.
[General Topics] lleresche:
Haven't seen this one, thx. The thing is I'm just a bit scared about cheap overpowered Chinese stuff. The last Chinese I got the jiaiu g3c was like impossible to find custom Roms support and the charging micro uav broke in like 1/2 year.

[General Topics] Violet x:
Note 5 for sure man! Had mine for a week and I'm loving it! Rooted it straight out of the box and its an amazing phone. Had a nexus 5 before this, I can say I miss stock Android. But I've always liked TouchWiz. And it's improved so that's a bonus for me. I love the s pen, its all I use. And all s pen features are amazing!! Everything is an improvement to the nexus 5 in my opinion. For the way I use my phones. But only downside is not have pure stock Android, but hopefully there will be a custom rombfor that soon
[General Topics] lleresche:
It's actually not a bad thing but it'd really to big. I do have 4.7" I was thinking maximum 5" and something close. Plus the note 5 exceed by a lot my budget
[General Topics] Violet x:
That's understandable, it is an overly priced phone. I was fortunate to get it for $850 when it's like $1000 here. Um I'm thinking a nexus 5 or 6 or the new ones. I haven't been reading previous posts so sorry if I'm repeating things. One plus one or even their new one. Htc M8 or m9? still a bit pricy though. There's a huge list of great phones for that size less than $600 or so.not sure what your budget is. Have a look at the Chinese phones they're looking really good specs wise, and are cheap

I can't make up my mind what handset to go for. Do I go for Galaxy s6 edge plus or the z5. If the premium z5 was out that would be the one but since it's not I am in two minds.

Any help welcomed.
[General Topics] lleresche:
Hey goku. The s6 edge plus with his curved sides are a nice plus and all. My guess the z5 will have more power consequence pronably mote future proof. I would say if you patient enough to wait take the z5. The only problem I see with the s6 edge coming from my friends at work. Is that they are very vulnerable to fall. The edge screen will break almost 80% sure on a fall. Or get heavy scratchs

Edit: I looked at the specs from the z5. And The edge 6 plus it's actually almost the same maybe stronger. It's all about your taste and design
[General Topics] lleresche:
Spamming to get some points ?
[General Topics] istperson:
Probably both.

As for S6 Edge + vs Z5, the Sony will last longer, because when Samsung stops updating the S6E+ in about 18 months, there won't be alternative ROMs for it, because of Knox and Exynos.

If you would like cheaper there is the new Lenovo K3 a really good price for the Bang (SD CARD!!!).

But overal I would conclude take the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 I´m as well almost sure I will order 1 for me if its available in time.

You need to look before the avaiability and support around. I bought once a Chinese smartphone and I can tell was a really pain, no roms around hard to root...

Edit:

I looked at phonearena a visual comparison with my galaxy s4 and O boy its HUGE!!! I think I will take instead the 5"

There is a more budget Friendly

There is a more budget Friendly version of the xiaomi mi4 the mi4i I don't know the true price maybe is to high I liked the CUBOT a lot BUT big BUT the phone is already obsolete its hard to find roms and there is 0 support I would say step away from it. The only big one coming to me would had been the Lenovo k3 freshly out for a dream price but the 5.5 is to big the 5.2 is for me my maximum size. I will take some look see if I find something for 5" powerful and with sd card slot

There is a 25£ more expensive than expected xiaomi mi4I I saw a black version from the same seller for the same price.

Now it get tricky, the Meizu is newer have the perfect 5" screen it's not to big not to small it's really more powerful BUT doesn't have any sd card port!!! Meaning you will have around 12GB free out of the box... this is really nothing like NOTHING my old iPhone 4s had only 16 this was the biggest reas on I changed.

Now there is the redmi 2 pro from xiaomi It's overall much slower I have a galaxy s4 as well ans it have a snapdragon 600 the redmi have a 400 something if I'm not wrong. I have not a clue of the difference is huge or if the 400 is better or worse. Thinking like me the redmi maybe a bit slow for the high end view but fluid like a good galaxy s3 which is for my taste insane fast and enough. AND it has sd card support!!!
