Iv owned the galaxy s5 and I now have the g4...don't know a lot about the nexus....but it's hard to say between the s5 and g4,,,,g4 has more memory and ram....but the s5 had a lot more bells and whistles in settings..also had the best video resolution ....but the smaller screen I could never used to

i have not faced problem with brightness so far, my adaptive brightness is off. samsung built the display of nexus 6p, so you needn't worry about the display.......... regarding amoled vs lcd , amoled have pure blacks. and its not true that amoled is better than lcd. i prefer amoled over lcd only because of the black level.

get the mi5 if its available in your country. if not then get nexus 5x, as nexus 5x will still be relevant after 2 years, while g4 most probably will get android n as its last update. and samsung a 5 is not worth buying

Note 5 ?

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

I had the A5 2016 , in term of design it's the most premium phone i ever had , i loved it. Battery life is "Amazing" , i always got +6h of SOT on 2 days of usage with heavy usage ( Gaming too ) , with this phone you will forget the term "charging" , it's a beast. It still on lollipop and MM is on the way but will take a long time , it's not a flagship so....But the biggest issue with this phone is performance.

If you are a light user , with 10 apps installed max , light multitasking...etc then this phone is for you, but if you are like me , bunch of apps and always multitasking and pushing the phone to it's limit , you will face micro lags , nothing serious but very noticable. Sometimes my RAM usage reached 95% !! I was always obliged to clear the apps and RAM , and do a reboot every 3 days.

So i ended up selling it and got the S6 , huge difference in every aspect except battery life , 40% worse.

So if you are a heavy user and want performance ( also amazing camera ) go with the G4 , if not the A5 2016 is for you.

Hope this helps.

The LG G5 is good but i see a lot of people complaining about it everyday , Note 5 old GPU ? With the Note 5 specs you can do everything on your phone for the next 4 years.
[General Topics] SirVer:
Depends on whether you'd be willing to flash a ROM or not. If yes, you should get the G4, for the excellent camera, extra gig of RAM, and better screen resolution (in case you want to give VR a try); with a custom ROM, the G4 will be future proof for a long time. If no, then the 5X would be best for you, as I don't know any other phone in that price range with a camera as good as the 5X - closest I can think of is the Xperia Z3, but its camera doesn't compare to the G4 or 5X.

You might want to wait a month or two, and see how the OnePlus Three will be in the camera department - who knows, they might surprise us.

Black level is the amount of light the screen emits when displaying the black. The lower it is, the deeper the blacks, and the better the contrast. An LCD display uses a backlight, so even when it's supposed to show black, it will have a whitish tinge because of the backlight. AMOLED displays, on the other hand, can selectively turn off pixels to show true black (i.e. absence of light), making the contrast infinite. Because of this, AMOLED was the gold standard a few years ago, as it was more power efficient than LCD, and usually looked better too. These days, LCD is just as efficient, and is capable of some excellent contrast as well. Basically, you want a contrast ratio of about 1200:1 or more, or at least 1000:1. AFAIK, better contrast usually translates to better sunlight readability, but not always.
[General Topics] Seiya0890:

[General Topics] jazzyyki:
Anyone have any recommendations for upgrading to another android phone? My LG G3 is starting to hit the bucket and I wanna be prepared to shell out a new phone soon.

I am looking for a phone that works on CDMA/Verizon, can be rooted/install custom roms, is about the same size as my LG G3 (5.5in), has good bluetooth support, and has good CM maintainers so I'm always cutting edge on CM. Storage isn't a huge factor but I wouldn't mind a bit of ram. I mostly just listen to music, take calls, browse web, etc- but I wouldn't mind being able to play Hearthstone as it's a little crappy on my G3. A good front/back camera would be nice, but is not necessary.

My budget is like $250 tops used. I usually only buy used cause I'm a cheap skate, and I don't do contracts anyway.

Thank you!
[General Topics] Soufiansky:

[General Topics] Hynkel:
What phone can I get that has quick charging tech AND a micro SD port for less than €350?

These are my two most sought after features, and so far everything I've found have one or the other, but not both in the same device.

In the event that no such phone can be found, I've narrowed down my selection between the Honor 7, Honor 5X and OnePlus X, but I can't make up my mind on which one is best in performing each task, even the most basic ones. I'm open to other suggestions as long as they're available in Europe.
[General Topics] SirVer:
Sounds like the OnePlus One is your best bet. You can get it new for that price, so it'll be even cheaper used. It's got Nexus levels of development, so I don't think CM will be a problem. However, it is a downgrade from your G3 - specs are mostly the same, but the display, camera, and form factor (handling) are not as good. No expandable storage either, but as long as you get the 64 GB (if you're a music listener, you don't want 16), that shouldn't matter.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

I don't see any reason to get the Honor 5X if you can get the 7, except that the 5X might get more dev support since it has a Snapdragon chip. However, in terms of hardware, the 7 is better in almost every way. That said, you should not get either of them if gaming is your thing, or even super high res (above 1080p) video watching, because their GPUs are crap. They also have a more bloated (though feature-packed) UI. You might try the Moto X Play or Moto X Pure/Style - both have fast charging tech, and you should be able to find them in your budget. Also, you could consider the LG G3 and G4 - the G4 supports Quick Charge, but it's not as fast as some other devices; in fact, the G3 charges faster, even though it doesn't have QC. It depends on how fast you need it to be - my G3 goes from near empty to full in 1.5 to 2 hours; is that good enough, or you need more?

[General Topics] Hynkel:
The Moto X Style, X Play and Lg G4 are all solid choices for the price range I'm shooting for... All good snappers. The Motos seem to be slightly more future-proof in terms of development support as they run on enhanced stock but the Style's a little too big to my liking and the LG has nicer body materials. Don't know how much power the Moto X play loses in the specs, but the body just feels cheap.

It takes a little over 2 hours to fully charge my G2 from 0% to 100% with a standard 33W charger, so the difference with LG's fast charging phones isn't that great.

I always think about Chinese smartphones as they are getting better and better. They seem to really understand what users need. And in term of specs, they are perfect on paper... The only drawback is either the Quality or the design compared to popular manufacturers (Maan they make really big bezels!! except if you get the black color). But yeah they definitely worth a try (y)

Dear Sofiansky thank you for your answer

Concerning the phones you have mentioned. I can live with them and they are excellent But:

Nexus 6p: is rare in Morocco and so expensive. It costs the same or even more than Note 5...sad

Note 4: Hands down it's an almost perfect but feels so old in both specs and design but still very good it's my last resort

Lg g4: Bootloop issue. Even for 600+ series.

One Plus One: lacks a lot of features and rare here. If I find one with a good price I will buy

Please recommend me a phone which is comes under these specs or nearer:

1) Under $300

2) Snapdragon chip

5) Good CPU is preferred but at that price range, it's kinda impossible

6) Available device trees

[General Topics] SirVer:
OnePlus One, LG G3.

Why do you say it's impossible? When you say good CPU, what's the level you're going for? Everything in the SD800 series is good (except the 810), and will last a long time. Same for the SD650 and SD652.
[General Topics] Preet_:
Yeah, guess what [MENTION=5938633]SirVer[/MENTION], I'm thinking for OnePlus One. But will it last long in terms of development? I guess Android M would be last or will cyanogen get it to N?
[General Topics] SirVer:
OnePlus will probably stop with Marshmallow or N for official updates. However, from what I know, the only devices that get more dev support than the OPO are Nexuses. I'm sure it'll get updates by custom ROM for as long as the hardware can run it, and since Android is only getting more efficient every year, I can see it running just fine for at least another 2 years down the road, if not longer. For a phone that's already two years old, that's pretty good.
[General Topics] Preet_:
Android M is probably not developed yet in OPO, So I get an opportunity to develop it. Thanks for the suggestion tho :cool:
[General Topics] SirVer:
Do you mean N? 'Cause M custom ROMs are already available for the OPO...
[General Topics] Preet_:
Not all of them will be available, ROMs like TipsyOS, OwnDroid ROMs aren't available yet on OPO. So maybe I could get a chance developing those ROMs. Yes, I'm talking about M

[General Topics] spvm500:
Dear All,

I recently replaced my Moto G (1st Gen) with an Oukitel K10000 as I need very long battery life and a recent eyesight diagnosis required a larger screen (At least 5.5"). Sadly I have had to return the K10000 under warranty as an official OTA Update soft bricked the phone and the MTK Chipset from these chinese phones was hard for me to deal with, there was no recovery installed and the drivers for their flash tool dont work with my computers OS. I'm back to using my Moto G (With a Battery Jacket) and now have back my £139.00 (UK Pounds) spent on the Oukitel but I need another phone but I have a list of requirements that I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a phone to suit my requirements, apologies if I have posted in the wrong place I have only posted a few times before.

I'm looking for

- 5.5" Screen (Resolution not to much of an issue)

- 4G Compatiability in United Kingdom

- A LARGE battery or a phone that is efficient (24 Hour medium-heavy Use)

-2GB Ram (The Moto G struggles with multitasking with 1GB)

-Don't care about internal storage as long as there is a micro SD slot

- A phone that is well known to the forum with lots of development options like the Moto g with good availability of cases, screen protectors etc (I realised this was a drawback of Chinese phones)

- A gyroscope for use with my google cardboard, I was very disappointed to find the K10000 did not have one (and few other sensors for that matter)

- Android 5.01 + or with good ROM releases

-Dont Care about looks/build quality or cameras or unnecessary features

I don't mind spending maybe £20 or £30 more so a budget of Approx £160 UK Pounds, if need be I would be happy with a used handset if I had to

Is there anyone aware of a phone that I would be happy with? I have found ebay descriptions and websites can be unreliable (Such as being told the K10000 had a Gyro) so thought I would ask here.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who may have a suggestion

Guys, need some professional advice on this. I'm considering getting one of those smartphones:

-Nexus 6

-Nexus 5X

-LG G4

-Moto X Style

Eventually something different within this price range.

Which one is better? I need quick and responsive system (migrating from iOS) and a high quality screen, decent hardware, build quality.
[General Topics] Mozdef32:
I can only tell you that LG G4 has a hardware bootloop issue, google that
[General Topics] SirVer:
The Nexus 6 and Moto X look like the best choices on this list. Of these, I'd personally choose the Moto X, because of the more manageable form factor, external SD slot, and better display (from what I've heard, at least).

However, as you're coming from iOS, you might want a fingerprint sensor, in which case your only option is obviously the 5X, though it is low on storage (max 32 GB), has less battery, and is in general inferior to the N6 and Moto X.

I'm guessing your budget is around $300-400, and I can't really think of anything better than you've already mentioned in that price range. You might be able to find a Galaxy S6 for around $450 - it's a beast hardware wise, and displays don't get much better than in the Galaxy series.
[General Topics] Planterz:
In my opinion, the Nexus 6 is the best of them (I have one myself, so I might be biased). The others all have the Snapdragon 808, which is an OK processor, but has a mediocre GPU. The Nexus 6 has the older 805, but it's still plenty powerful and will do anything and everything you want it to, and the GPU is far better. That is, of course, if the huge size doesn't turn you away.

If you don't care about gaming/graphics, the G4 or Moto X Style might be a better choice from a practicality standpoint. Both have the microSD slot, the G4 has the better camera and removable battery, whereas the Moto X has the better screen, customizability, and stereo speakers.

It'd be a fantastic device if it didn't have the SD808. If you don't care about playing games though, it's a great phone.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

I adore mine. I was a little apprehensive about the screen being "dim", as most professional reviews noted that it wasn't very bright (270 nits is pretty dim), but in reality it's plenty bright. I'm not one of those people that turn the screen way down low to maximize battery life/SOT - I like a bright screen. But I find it to be plenty bright at about 40%, and if I crank it up all the way it's absolutely iridescent.

The front-facing speakers are great. It's no boombox, but it's surprisingly loud and deep for being a dang cell-phone (the bass makes it vibrate when you turn it up all the way). I'll never go back to bottom or rear facing speakers.

Battery life is pretty dang good with MM. Not quite as good as my OnePlus One, but still plenty to last me through a day of heavy use. Charges crazy fast if you use the included QuickCharger, but I try to avoid using it to prolong the battery's overall life.

About the only thing I don't care for with the Nexus 6 is the curved rear. It feels good in the hand(s), but it's irritating as hell to use if you lay it on your table/desk/counter. The right case might remedy that.

Depends - what are you looking for in a phone? While the Z5 is a great device, it's pretty expensive, and you may not need to spend that much for what you need/want. As for how it is, I've demo'd it in store, and it feels pretty good in hand. UI is smooth and snappy, like all flagships these days. Display is nice, though not astounding - I couldn't check any videos though, so not the best measurement here. Couldn't check anything more than that.

If you're interested in the Z5, you might want to wait for their new line of Xperias to come out, especially the "X Performance". Either get the newer phone, or wait to see of the price of the Z5 drops.
