The Mate 8 and 6P are both amazing , you can't go wrong with both of them , it's your preferences that matters , if you want a very large screen and better battery life go for the mate 8 , if you want to be the first to get software updates , clean super fast vanilla android go for the 6P. Both have great build quality and excellent cameras , but i think the 6P is cheaper , which can be a deal breaker.

Wich phone shoud i buy?

I love android pure and have updates, i was thinkin to buy Moto X Pure Edition or Nexus 5X (i dont like the desing of the nexus 6P), but i want a good camera and battery life, so i can sacrifice the android pure. my budget is arround $400 to $550 US Dollars.

what do you think?

Thanks

If your looking for best bang for your buck/dollar/pound/Euro lol I would check out Letv. I have just acquired the Letv le one pro and for the money the Nexus 6p here in the UK is £440 and the Le one pro cost me shipped 2day delivery £280 that is a £160 quid saving.

Letv's basic specs are snapdragon 810, 2k 5.5" Display, 4Gb Ram,13mgp ois Sony Camera, 64gb variant or there are 32 and 128Gb alternatives. The Audio quality is the best on any smartphone I have had (and I have owned alot)

There are so many Chinese brands that are really offering more for less without scrimping on specs or build.

Whilst I like the big guns by no means are these other alternatives below par.

So I have already purchased my next phone which is the Le one Pro, what's next? Well I will most certainly be looking at the Le max 2.

To buy or not to buy G Flex 2 as an LG G2 user? 2/16 models both so no upgrade there but newer and faster SOC, better camera, better audio quality (voice calls on G2 are not that good because of bad mic), microSD support (even though it's not important factor for me), official Marshmallow on its way (while G2 is stuck on that epic fail 5.0.2 but I'm rocking BlissPop so it doesn't matter)...

Don't care about the locked bootloader on GF2 tbh, as it seems that everything is great so far on 5.1.1, and worse battery than G2 is not an issue. I don't even care for bad gray colour (grainy screen issue). But that price... Dat price! Only €240/$260 for brand new with 24 mo. warranty, SIM unlocked, off-contract.

Its pros (over the G2) should justify its price, eh? I'm not even sure yet if I plan to sell G2 (because it's still one hell of a phone and with 5.1.1 & 6.0.1 is lightning fast) or just go with both. Can sell it for like $180 in mint condition with 5 mo. warranty left.

Any former G2 users that went GF2 route? Experiences/thoughts? Thanks!

Edit: I'm only interested 'bout the GF2. Don't care about Meizu MX5, Pro 5 etc. GF2 or nothing else as I ****ing love its design ?

http://phandroid.com/2016/01/28/htc-one-m10-specs-info/

- The HTC One M10 will have a 5.1-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) display.

- The rear camera is a 12MP UltraPixel sensor, and both the rear and front sensors will have optical image stabilization.

- Inside is a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB of RAM and at least 32GB of storage (which can be expanded via microSD).

- There’s a home button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner.

- Boomsound speakers are gone.

- It’ll ship with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and Sense 8.0.

Jumping from lg to samsung!

I've had 2 lg phones within the last 2 years and I've had my ups and downs. Started with the g2 and as my first flagship I loved it. Well eventually it died and it was time for an upgrade. And the next lg came out. So I opted for the g4 over the Samsung approach. I liked the removable battery, expandable storage, leather back, and all the promos. Now that the next line of phones are coming out and I've become bored and irritated with lg's ui and lack up updates on tmobile as well as the lack of 3rd party accessories (yes not lg's fault) . I've decided to jump to samsungs next flagship. The s7 has so many interesting rumors and gadgets I'm excited to see what they produce. Is there anyone in the same boat?

iPhone 6s :eek:

Samsung Galaxy S6

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Sony Xperia Z5

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

LG G4

I currently have a Samsung A5, but I am looking for something different. I have only owned Samsung thus far, but want to move on to something better and something closer to stock Android.

I want a device with good dev support, and that is fast with a good camera and expandable memory.

INR 20K converts to USD 300, not 230. In any case, how about the LG G3 and Lenovo Vibe X3? The G3 has an excellent camera, speaker quality is good, audio quality as well. I don't know about the camera of the X3, but apparently it was designed for high end audio. I don't think you have to worry about the display, since most smartphones in that price range will have good ones, especially since you're coming from a Nexus 4.

It's hard for me to make recommendations since I have no idea what's available and for how much in Israel. A couple ideas would be a Galaxy S2 or S3 (with custom ROM, naturally) or even a Galaxy Nexus. Moto E maybe, whichever generation you can get for your budget. The benefit with the Galaxies is that you can pop a new battery in for a few bucks and you don't have to worry about a device that's "tired". A Moto E would be new enough that the battery shouldn't be a problem.

[General Topics] obscuresword:
What is PWM flicker lol? You have a ton of options like the Moto X Pure, Nexus 6P, Note 5, S6 Edge +, LG G4 (or upcoming LG G5), Meizu Pro Note 5, OnePlus 2, and etc.
[General Topics] jtl999:
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation.htm

flickering of the screen's backlight. Causes me severe headaches. OLED phones technically don't have a backlight but the pixel's themselves flicker just like it. :(
[General Topics] Planterz:
PWM means pulse width modulation. It's a way to regulate brightness and battery drain. Basically, the LEDs just flicker really fast - faster than the eye can see - rather than being "on" all the time. However, if moving quickly (like waving it around), or moving your eyes across it quickly, you can see the individual pulses. To "dim" the screen (or anything else that uses PWM, like an LED flashlight), the "on" pulse becomes shorter, with longer spaces "off" inbetween. Thus, the dimmer you go, the more evidence the flicker.

You shouldn't have PWM on an LCD screen though My Nexus 4 and OnePlus One don't have it, anyway (although the notification LED does on the Nexus). I never even realized my Galaxy S4 used PWM until I tried it out just now, but I keep it on max or near-max brightness.

Hello gents!

I'm on a quest finding perfect device for my better half. She would like to have light phone (in weight) with good camera. Better than Moto g 2013 (my current phone) or her current Samsung S Advance. She said phone can't have bigger size body as Moto G's which are: 129.9 x 65.9 x 11.6 mm (5.11 x 2.59 x 0.46 in) and it must not exceed 130g better 120g.

So I was looking a bit and I found these 3:

1) Sony Xperia Z3 Compact http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-sony-xperia-z3-compact

2) LG G2 Mini LTE http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-lg-g2-mini-lte

3) Samsung galaxy s 4 mini http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-i9195-lte

1) PRONS:

+ Great camera

+ Great CPU

+ 2GB of ram

+ A lot of sensors inclding NFC (not that shee cares...)

+ Relatively new

+ Relatively big battery for it's size (2600mah)

CONS:

- Expensive (if I could get it second hand for about 150€ would be awesome but I doubt it.. :S)

- A bit heavy?

2) PRONS

+ Chip

+ A lot of sensors inclding NFC (not that shee cares...)

+ Relatively big battery of it's size (2440 mAh)

CONS:

- Don't know if camera will do it's work (Fast autofocus matters because of fast moving dangerous objects)

- CPU is the same as Moto G 2013 which is Adreno 305 (Might be a bit slow for daily usage)

- Only 1GB of RAM

- Only Corning Gorilla Glass 2 (But if I put protective glass on it it should be fine?)

3. PRONS:

+ Light

+ Super AMOLED (not that she matters)

+ 1.5GB of RAM

+ A lot of sensors including NFC (not that she cares...)

CONS:

- Slow CPU Krait 300 (This is can be bad but she isn't heavy user on games)

- Battery (Only 1900 mah)

Well if I had money I'd buy Z3 Compact new but I don't have. So what do you suggest? It can also be other brands (even ios) but not microsoft because she uses some apps made only for Android / iOs.

I'm from EU so bands should work in EU. Worldwide also acceptable. Thank you for your help deciding me in advance.

The closest I can think of that somewhat meets your needs is the Lenovo Vibe S1. Maybe the Zenfone Laser as well, but performance on that probably wouldn't be too great.

How about the 2013 Moto X? The Sony Z3c is obviously the best of those phones, but will likely be above your budget. The Moto X is a bit aged, but is still a superior device than the S4 Mini and LG G2 Mini. If she thinks your Moto G feels good in the hand, she'll love the Moto X, since it's lighter, a hair smaller, and has even more pronounced ergonomic contours.

The Galaxy S4 (full size) is a bit bigger than the Moto G but it's also lighter and way thinner. Surely you know someone that has one that she can handle to see if it is indeed too large. Better hardware than any of these others except the Z3c.
