I didn't think slider phones existed anymore anywhere. I can remember my HTC desire Z that was a really cool slider phone with metal build. But that was like a 2011 phone which would be useless as a daily phone today. I can type as fast on a touchscreen today as I ever could on those cramped keyboards anyway.

I have the oneplus one, great phone but the battery is not has efficient has before, so i need to buy a new smartphone. The only request is for a phone that would be easy to root, because i can not live with some apps that only work in rooted phones. Can you give me some good examples that stand good comparing with my great great oneplus one.

Thanks

I am looking for a new phone and maybe someone can help me. My requirements are:

-Teardrop notch

-Good custom rom support (stable pixel experience or lineageos)

-Compact size

-Below 450 USD

-Good build quality

What do you think?
[General Topics] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Xiaomi Mi 9 or Mi 9 SE, the device is quite new so you'd have to wait a little for custom ROMs but I'm fairly confident it'll get some
[General Topics] domina:
Thank you, I like the suggestion. My concern is that there a not many roms for the 8 SE and I have concerns that the 9 SE will have the same fate. Additionally I am not a big fan of a glass back but I would assume that this is mandatory these days or?
[General Topics] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I unfortunately can't guarantee there will be any or many ROMs, I'd recommend waiting a little if it's that important to you, regarding the glass back, it's definitely not mandatory there is few phone that have plastic backs, just not any I'd recommend, the reason the Mi 9 SE has wireless charging is partly due to the fact it has wireless charging too
[General Topics] HelpImARock:
Just a little rant. Looking to update my 2015 Lenovo Tab 2 A10 (bought new in 15 for ~ $180) primarily because it's got a dodgy usb charging jack. It's a decent mid range device, sharp display, great for media and browsing. It surprises me that Lenovo's successors to this line seem to have either got degraded specs (Tab 3 / Tab 4 10 resolution and speed) or jumped way up in price (Tab 4 10 Plus +$100). Probably better off trying to resolder / replace the jack vs updating. Seems like the bang for the buck for tablets isn't what is used to be.

I recently got an Asus Zenpad 8 (z380m) and it's ok, but it's got a bunch of bloatware and my older Lenovo Tab 2 is noticeably faster. On the plus side, it does offer the double-tap to wake/sleep which disappeared from my Lenovo during the update to Marshmellow.... I really like that feature.

Likewise, there doesn't look to be a solid substitute for the Nexus 7 (2013) series. What are the best cheap tablets that lends itself to easy rooting / roms? I'd be interested in both 7-8" and 10".

Hi. I'm lookin for a good price/performance (mid price range) with a good community on XDA. I'm happy with the lenovo vibe k5 (recommended, except for image drift in vr mode and broken vibration) but getting a little old now
[General Topics] TechnoSparks:
Im surprised that i am this late to find this thread, but i am in dire need of help anyway.

Nokia has been really annoying, especially with its lack of bootloader unlock tools, this makes the devices pretty much dry of any custom development progress. Being a life long modder like you and me, and now a Magisk module dev, owning Nokia 6 has been nothing but trouble. This has proven to tip my patience when i cant use Magisk v18 and newer due to whatever the heck they change in the boot image. I am unable to properly test my module as this is my only device. John Wu wasn't particularly fond of Nokia either so pretty much the experience have turned into crap. I also miss flashing custom ROMs, and making things work my way. God I miss LineageOS so much.

Ok cut off the crap, i just need suggestions for just little "requirements".

Could anyone suggest me a device with:

- thriving custom ROM development (preferably stable/beta grade, but don't really care)

- headphone jack is preferable, but if it is absent would be great if dongle provided for free with purchase

- sd card slot, because i like my files on it.

- price range like that of Mi A1

- bootloader is easily unlockable with actual support from the device maker/brand

- no hardware navigation keys, or hardware back key on the left (not right)

- NO NOTCH!

I know Mi A1 seems very fitting. But i need to know if there are worthy alternatives first.

Thank you for anyone who's willing to reply to me!
[General Topics] simonbigwave:
The xiaomi PocoF1 might fit... has lovely headphone jack... and I love this device much more coming from a Samsung S7 edge. Has ex SD card slot also (a must have for me). Lineage also had some support not sure it still does. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/beryllium

[General Topics] DrFossil:
If you don't have to worry about the price and want your good camera then definitely go for Mia2 as it is also part of the Android one project. The chipset is also Snapdragon 660. Battery is downside. You can rather add a few bucks and get Poco F1.
[General Topics] the-spea76:

Oh no, there is a notch. How about another option with no notch?
[General Topics] simonbigwave:
agree... I have the PocoF1 since last year and I have had no trouble at all with it. Its excellent value with Snapdragon 845.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

I don't mind the notch at all.. but if you don't want notch then I would go for the Xiaomi Mix 2s has no notch.

There is LineageOS support... But there's no micro SD card slot available, so it makes it a good idea to grab the 256GB model. must Backup via usb. I was going to get the Xiaomi Mix2s, also has Snapdragon 845, but I ended up getting the PocoF1 because my old habit of using micro SD card.
[General Topics] TechnoSparks:
So many compromises, i am unable to decide. These are great devices for sure i agree, but no notch and SD card slot, is kind of my thing.

But hey, i think i will bear with this crappy Nokia 6 for a moment. I am particularly waiting for a new announcement on the Mi A series. Hopefully the next one isn't a disappointment like A2 is compared to A1!
[General Topics] TheInfiniteAndroid:

[General Topics] augugusto:
Believe it or not, I was looking for something about half the price oi the poco f1. I guess I have a very low middle for the price range

Edit: the phone price is fine. It seems that in Argentina things are like 80% more expensive
[General Topics] TechnoSparks:
Thanks, will do!
[General Topics] sekk:
Lol half of poco f1 price you wont find any GOOD device I think
[General Topics] TechnoSparks:
I decided to get an Mi A2 instead. Since it does not have an SD card slot, I had to take a compromise and get a larger storage. This however marks the end of my Magisk module ts-binds (binds folder between internal and external). I would like to thank those who suggested me devices.

I know, add a little more and one could get the Pocophone. But notches man, i hate them too much. :(
[General Topics] galaxys:
Just received the Samsung S10+ 8/128gb!
[General Topics] augugusto:
I understand the disgust with notches. But I'm curious. Why not disable it? If you go for a notchless phone, you get the same screen/body ratio than one with a disabled notch
[General Topics] TechnoSparks:
Because "disabled" notch is just the statusbar having a black background. It doesn't remove the physical fact that something is there on the screen preventing whatever that could be displayed there.

For example notification dots.

More system icons like headset + Bluetooth + anything.

Those are what that came to my mind as examples.

Statusbars were created to be functional. Notches were created purely on a baseless a e s t e t i c idea. Unfortunately it affects functionality of the statusbar, to the point that devices with no notches had to share the same hurt (limited notification dots on Pie), or skewed perception on how display should work (people demanding microsoft to make windows "notch-aware" since it was booted on a notched device). The latter shows how much a notch introduces problems, just for a weird fetish over bezel-less phones (which in fact also have usability issues like how the phone is held), but that is off-topic.

Hello all,

I am considering replacing my Moto G5 plus with a new phone mostly because i want a better camera and a more responsive phone.

Can you help me choose the right phone?

Here are the specs in order of importance:

Dual Sim

Compatible with phone call recorders (now my phone works because it doesn't have Pie)

Long battery life

Able to clone whatsapp natively

A good camera.

No problems with polarized sunglasses

I don't want to root since the phone is going to be secured with airwatch.

Budget max 400/450 €

Thanks in advance.

Well that's a heavy budget that you got there. You can get 6T for the price or maybe if you consider using EMUI go for Honor View 20.

Before using the G5 i also tried an Honor 8 which was better in every way except it wasn't working with airwatch and was identified as a rooted device (it wasn't) so i am a bit recluctant with emui phones. I'll take a look at the 6T. Does it satisfy all the requirements i said?

Regarding the xiaomi i have no problem considernig them as long as they meet the spec requirement. i'll look it up.

I'm looking for a phone for my brother, prefer under 300 used, prefer ip rated, need easily unlocked bootloader. I thought the s8 would do it, but I forgot about the US snapdragon vs ROW exynos.

I currently have a Moto g6 plus and want to upgrade in about 4-6 weeks. Here's minimum specs:

CPU: Sdm630 or better

RAM: 4GB or better

Screen: I have a 5.9 inch screen now and want bigger, so maybe 6.2-6.5 inches would be good?

Storage: 32gb minimum, but preferably 64gb or more

Misc: sdcard support, fingerprint scanner(it's in the center of the bottom bezel on Moto g6+ which is very convenient as I also use fingerprint navigation feature but suppose I can adjust in one way or another if it's placed somewhere different.

Looking for something with good developer support as I like to have multiple rom options to see what best suits my needs and wants. GSI does work well with a good vendor but I would like to stick to a device with ROMs not something that only or mostly only supports gsi.

CDMA/GSM: Preferably both, I am on AT&T(GSM) right now but I am most likely going to jump to Sprint or maybe Verizion (both CDMA).

Budget: $300-$400 but I might be able to go up to $500

Condition can be new or used as long as it should hold me over for a year or two

I did consider that phone. I've had occasion to use the Xiaomi Mi A1, which is very similar to the A2 Lite (the older model has a smaller battery, but a better camera). The UI sometimes gets jerky due to the pokey CPU. The A1's (better) camera is decidedly mediocre in low light. Otherwise it's a good handset, and Xiaomi are prompt with security updates.

Prefered Android 9, but I can do it myself :P

first android in 6 years, what should I get to fit me the best?

hi!

Im brand new here but have been lurking around for a few weeks. I've finally decided to give up on my iPhone and try to get out of the Apple Ecosystem.

last time I used an Android phone was in 2012/2013 so I'm not really experienced with the OS anymore, so I guess I'm looking for something as stock as possible, to kinda ease my way into it again.

now, to my problem. what phone should I even get? I'm thinking that my budget is at max $450 USD (im swedish but easier to use USD here I reckon)

I live a pretty "active" lifestyle, gym, work, etc, so I dont want to have to charge my phone very often, I would really like the phone to be able to last 2 days with medium use (bluetooth on when streaming music, texting, light social media use).

The current phone im using is an iPhone 6s, its screen is 4,7" and its honestly perfect for my small hands so I dont really want a phone thats bigger than 5,5" if thats possible today.

another thing is that I dont want it to lag whatsoever when using the phone, im not good with specs but Im guessing snapdragon 630 would be good enough and 3gb ram?, I will do some very light gaming on it, like Oldschool Runescape, not much else than that, other than Youtube.

I realize I might be asking too much, but I'm lost on what to get after looking for weeks for the "perfect" phone. so Im turning to you all here for help!

Hi!

I have to buy a new phone, and I want to spend about 150 €.

At the moment my choice is the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, because it isn't as big as the most of the other phones and it is officially supported by custom roms as resurrection remix or crdroid.

But I don't really like the a/b slot partitions of this phone because I will need to reflash everything at each update of the rom.

There are another phone with similar dimensions and similar price to Mi A2 Lite and officially supported by custom rom?

I don't use the phone for gaming and I want to use a custom rom like resurrection remix to have the privacy guard tool.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

It's high time to switch my Redmi 4X to something new... just due to lack of NFC.

What I need?

- NFC - yes, main reason why I'm switching

- Snapdragon - Must be!

- metal back cover

- good battery

Screen? I'd prefer something about 5 inches but nowadays everything is growing to a tablet size...

Budget? I don't mind, let it be about 300 - 400 USD. I'd rather not spend as much, but if it is necessary I will spend.

Dear friends i think to buy a new phone ans expecting your comments about it.It should be a mid-range phone about 300-350 USD max.

-My first priority is performance.I do not use too heavy apps but sometimes i hang out the games like pubg.So i need a good performance phone phone within the price range i mentioned.

-I always like to root the phone, try some custom roms or tweaks.So it should be customizable.

-A 3.5mm headphone jack is a must be.I really use my phone and listen music or videos even while i was charging it.So it is mandatory for me.

-A bigger screen size is preferable.from 5.9-6.0 inch to 6.5-6.6.

i searched some phones and found redmi note 7 and honor play.Also i found samsung galaxy a50 but it seems that its cpu is a little bit weaker than the others to me.What do you think about them?And i am also willing to get the other models you know.Thank you.

Hi,

I'm looking for a new phone and I'm a little bit overwhelmed, because there are too much out there right now.

Since 2012 I'm using a Nexus 4 and I need a new one, because my GPS died when my phone fell to the ground several months ago.

What I need for the next phone:

great Display, because I'm reading a lot of books on my phone

great Camera, since I'm always taking pics when going out

great GPS, since I use my phone as navigation in my car

Unlocked Bootloader

Root

Custom Roms (LineageOS, OMNIROM etc.)

low SAR level (I don't know whether it's normal, but it seems like all the new phones (but Samsung) have extremely high SAR levels in comparison to older phones)

I guess a lot of phones will fit the requierements, because my Nexus 4 is ancient and everything can be considered a tremendous upgrade. :D

What I'm going to do is, to flash a Custom Rom and use the phone without Google (no gapps etc.), install XPrivacy (I guess it's called LuaPrivacy now) and AFWall.

BTW I really don't care about gaming performance, but I care about a lagfree, smooth experience like on my Nexus 4.

The old Nexus series had fantastic community backup, but it seems like the backup has gone since the Pixel series was introduced.
