I'm considering the mi 5 as my next phone. Coming from a sony xperia zr I believe everything will be an upgrade.

My major concern is the lack of expandable storage and the only model available in my country is the 32gb model.

What are your thoughts? Do you think there's any other alternatives. ?

Oh and I'm not really in a hurry to upgrade, was thinking about waiting for the new moto x or one plus 3 but it's probably going to be too large for me, (5.2 max screen size).

Would love to own the mi 5, the first phone I'd have that's a flagship.
[General Topics] Lorenz15:
The LeEco Le Max 2 has only a USB Type C port and this is for audio too. But what should you do if you want to charge your phone with USB and listen to music at the same time?

Finally, bought N5x in the ocasional price , it's still at my bro's house, so I don't know how it's going :)

To bring back warranty, it's just to upload back stock rom and lock bootloader?

And will samsung's headphones be working with it? :P

I can buy 'em for 2Euro

[General Topics] SirVer:
Former ZR user here. 32 GB is a huge upgrade from 8, and it'll feel awesome at first, but eventually, you'll start running out of space and wish you had an SD slot. I don't think the Mi5 is worth buying unless it's the 64/128 GB model.

What kind of specs are you looking for? Anything specific? Do you want a fingerprint sensor? What's your budget? And about the screen size: most phones these days are around 5.5 inch, so limiting yourself to 5.2 reduces your selection. Instead of screen size, look at screen to body ratio - if it's good enough, you won't take long to get used to it. I went from the 4.7 inch ZR to the 5.5 inch G3, but I got used to it really quick because the size of the device itself is relatively small.

P.S. The ZR has the same hardware as the Z, except for the build material, so I'd say it is a flagship, don't you think? ?
[General Topics] Lorenz15:
Anybody with a solution here?
[General Topics] SirVer:
Nothing helpful. Getting rid of the 3.5 port could mean that they haven't included a DAC for headphone output, which means that manufacturers would have to include one in their headphones, which would of course, raise costs. It's possible that someone could release a DAC with a USB C port and 3.5 mm jack that plugs into the USB C port on the phone, thus allowing you to use both at once, or maybe even just the 3.5, if you just want to use your older headphones. I don't see why not, from a technical standpoint; however, I have no idea how bulky a solution this might end up being. Either way, expect to pay a lot more for audio if this trend catches on. *sigh* One rumour that Apple might lose the 3.5, and the Chinese companies have already started jumping the gun. Seriously?

EDIT: Looks like they include a USB to audio jack adapter with the phone.
[General Topics] Lorenz15:
Yeah but my question was how to charge and listen to music at the same time with this phone?
[General Topics] SirVer:
Like I said, you have to hope that someone makes an adapter that has both a USB port and a headphone jack; doesn't seem to be any other option.
[General Topics] Lorenz15:
Hmm an option could be wireless charging if they support it. An if the battery is good enough, you only have to charge at night and then you don't have any problems...and bluetooth audio should work too, isn't it?
[General Topics] SirVer:
It's a metal phone, so I doubt there'll be wireless charging, but the other stuff is valid.
[General Topics] Aniruddha10:
Yea, that's what I thought. Will think about waiting for the 64 gb model but that's probably above my budget. My budget is around Rs. 20,000 ($300); don't mind paying more if it's a phone that I really like; mi 5 32gb model is already above my budget but really considering buying it.

I'm not really particular about the specs, 2-3 gb ram, fingerprint scanner would be cool but not a necessity, any camera that would be better than the zr or about the same would be great.

I don't need the latest and greatest chipset although would like to have a good GPU in it. I like playing games on my phone,but I'd like to stay away from mediatek as I've been hearing they're quite bad for gaming. I don't need it to be super fast and completely lag free but something that can manage high end games suitably.

For the screen size I get what you mean, I have relatively large hands so 5.5 inch should be fine but don't like the thought of carrying something so large :D I'm sure a few phones have great screen to body ratio and then I might go for one but otherwise would like to stay away from them.

I love my Zr, I do think it's quite close to a flagship but the 8 gb really ruins it all. Can barely have many apps, almost never had a large high end game, never have enough space and always worried about having too many apps. Oh and the build quality, I don't care it's plastic because it's durable as hell. Dropped it soo many times and it's in pretty good shape. Oh and the damn flaps are also really annoying :rolleyes: Broke the one for micro usb port.
[General Topics] SirVer:
Yeah, that 8 GB ruined everything. I had to use Link2SD to keep it usable. As for build quality, it's definitely good, but it was no match for me: I broke both the flaps, and shattered the screen 3 times. It was getting to the point where it was more cost effective to just get a new phone and a good case rather than replacing displays all the time. If that hadn't happened, I'd still be using it.

Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that fits all your requirements and is an upgrade from the ZR, mainly because of the screen size. I'd say your only options are the Xperia Z Compact series, but those would probably be over your budget if you're getting them in India (which is what I'm guessing). It's possible to get them at better rates if you're willing to mess around with overseas sellers and Aramex SnS, but that's a lot of hassle. I can only say that I had almost the same requirements as you (except that I wanted a good CPU as well), and the same budget, and after considering a lot of options, I settled on the LG G3, and I've been very happy with it so far. I got it for about AED 1000 (~$300) from Dubai (Souq.com). I'll tell you what else I was considering, and what made me leave it aside:

Honor 7 - Almost perfect, because it had a fingerprint sensor within my budget, but the GPU was too underwhelming. Not to mention the poor development for Huawei/Honor devices. Just a heads up though, this one is 5.2 inches.

ZUK Z1 - Good on paper, but no NFC, and heard some reports of overheating (how that happened on an SD801, I don't know) and of flaky fingerprint sensors.

Xperia Z3 - Over my budget, but perfect otherwise. The only reason I didn't get it was the glass body - for some reason, Sony refuses to use Gorilla Glass, and buying a cover to put on a modern Sony phone? You're paying a premium for that design, shame to cover it up.

OnePlus Two - SD810 heating issues, no NFC, no fast or wireless charging, purposeless USB C, and over my budget. Didn't consider it for very long.

OnePlus One - Silicon wise, same as the G3, but the G3 won in everything else (display, camera, form factor, expandable storage). Same price too, so no reason to get it over the G3.

OnePlus X - Again, same silicon as G3, but no NFC, and a reportedly fragile glass body, so not for me. That AMOLED was tempting, though.

Xiaomi Mi4 - Nice, but 16/32 GB and no expandable? Nope.

Lenovo Vibe X3 - Had literally everything I was looking for, but was not available when I was getting my phone, and wouldn't be for another month or two. Looking at it now, there is no dev support, and there are problems being reported.

Asus Padfone S Plus - I wanted a tablet + phone thing, so I wouldn't have to sync anything across devices, but I'd have to import it from Malaysia, and its actual specs can't compare to the others on this list. Not to mention, none of the custom ROMs have support for the tablet extension, which was a deal breaker for me.

This search was mostly done in November/December 2015, so it may be a little outdated by now, but hopefully it'll help you a little.

Good luck.

I am looking to replace my Tab 2 with a new tablet in the 9 to 10 inch range. This time around I want to be sure it has support from the ROM development community and is a good performing device before I buy it. I definitely don't want to be stuck with another device like this one where we got root but nothing else ever happened. I'd prefer something with SD card support but with enough internal storage that isn't mandatory.

I'm considering the HTC Nexus 9 but I'd like to hear some opinions from tablet owners.

Thanks!

[General Topics] Aniruddha10:
Your screen shattered thrice? Wow. Once a friend of mine threw the phone to me from over 6 metres and it landed on large pebbles, screen first, and nothing happened. Only a slight indetation on the screen guard. Was totally shocked. Couldn't believe it. You must be really tough on your phone :P

That's a lot of options, thank you really much for your extensive help.

I've also looked at the one plus x but again worried about the glass, don't care about NFC. The mi4 here in India comes only with 16gb storage. A friend of mine had the OnePlus One, has pretty good screen to body ratio but somehow wasn't very appealing.

I considered the Z3 as well but I don't want to deal with flaps again :D Also I've never had a glass body phone and I'm worried about that; Not sure how durable it is and I'm pretty careless with my phones.

Can u believe the Z3+ is the same price, or in some places even lower, than the Z3 now? I would buy it just really worried about the overheating :/ Some say the new updates helped but I'm not sure. If it wasn't for the overheating I think it'd be .

And for some crazy reason the Z5 compact still isn't available, can find it on ebay for about Rs 29,000 though.

Right now I think might wait for the new moto g. It'll won't probably be perfect for gaming but should be good enough and it'll be well below my budget.

If perhaps the new moto x is less than 5.5 inch or has great screen to body ratio might go for it.

Oh btw, did you have to pay import taxes when you bought your phone from Dubai?

Thanks again for all your help. If it wasn't for you I'd probably have ordered the mi 5 already and probably regret it later..
[General Topics] SirVer:
Right on the screen and it still didn't break?! Just... How?

The Z3+ is probably cheaper because they need to get rid of their stock - the heating problems are really bad.

Waiting for the Moto G might be a good idea, if only because the Redmi Note 3 will be easier to get by then; unless the G has a SD 650/652, the Redmi will stomp all over it.

I have family in Dubai, and I got it while I was visiting, so no, no import costs for me. ?

Don't know how much it would be to import it.

No problem, happy to help. ?

Looking to buy either a mid tier or used flagship for my wife. Want to spend between $200-$400. Needs battery that can last all day, say 30% at 10:00pm... With average usage. Camera needs to be good, with clear colors and fairly speedy. She's said she doesn't want the latest and greatest, but she's always complaining about her moto x 2014 about its laggyness, very poor battery, and blah camera.

Any suggestions? PS - she's not very tall so large phones won't work for her hands that great.
[General Topics] SirVer:
No experience with it, I'm afraid, because it's pretty recent, and it's hard to get your hands on right now; the Amazon flash sales sell out in less than a second. I would seriously consider selling my G3 and getting on of those, if it weren't for Xiaomi's horrible bootloader unlock policy.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Maybe the Z3 Compact? Better battery life than the Z3, and smaller. I have no experience with the camera, but Xperia cameras are usually pretty solid, so you should be fine. I think the LG G3 has a better camera, but the battery life will likely not be good enough for you, not to mention the size.

Just a heads up: Redmi Note 3 is going on open sale next week, so availability won't be an issue anymore.

With this budget you can get her brand new flagships (Of course not 2016 flagships ).

Any suggestions? The flagships I see, like the s7 and HTC 10 are like $700.

Edit: just realized you said not 2016 flagships. Any suggestions on older ones?
[General Topics] SirVer:
As far as I know, the only "flagship" available for between $200-400 is the Xiaomi Mi5, which is only available in a few countries, and is difficult to source outside of them, not to mention possible band incompatibilities. There's also the ZUK Z2 Pro, but that's only just been announced, and is not available just yet; it's also a bit larger than what you're looking for.
[General Topics] Soufiansky:
LG G4 it cost around 400$ or less , Nexus 6 , Note 4 , LG G3 , and much more.
[General Topics] SirVer:
Forgot about the G4, but all those phones are bigger than he wants - his wife is used to a Moto X, which is about 140cm in length, far less than today's large devices.
[General Topics] Soufiansky:
The G3 is 5.5" but in a 5.1" body so...It has a great screen to body ratio.
[General Topics] SirVer:
It does, but it's still far bigger than she's used to, and not everyone adjusts as easily. It personally took me only a couple of days, but I know people who have never gotten used to large screen phones, even with a good screen to body.
[General Topics] Aniruddha10:
I actually managed to get an mi 5 in one of the flash sales, didn't complete the order though :D

Somehow I keep going back to wanting the mi 5. Really annoying. Always hate buying a new phone. I keep searching the web practically everyday several times just to get more confused :D

Anyways I thought it was pretty easy to unlock the bootloader, especially since you're buying it directly from them. Heard it might take a while but it's quite straightforward.

Somehow the Note 3 doesn't appeal to me. Has great screen to body ratio but don't think I'd like it. Oh and according to Gsmarena's 'Hand's On' the camera is quite poor.

Yeah, I saw that. Thanks though :)
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
Also if she says a moto x 2014 is laggy, a g3 is going to be worse. I've never seen any lag from my moto x yet, but I've seen lots of people with lag on the g3. Battery and camera would be better than the moto x though.
[General Topics] SirVer:
I know exactly what you mean. "Alright, this looks like the best option for me... But what if there's something else that I missed? I don't want to regret it later!" Tedious.

Really? Seeing as it involves messing with a site that doesn't come in English, giving reasons as to why you want it unlocked, and waiting for the dev team to personally vet each request, it seems like a pain to me. Especially considering they might not even approve it; I once read about a guy who requested a code for his bricked device (bricked by the OTA that locked the BL, IIRC), waited three weeks, and got rejected. Doesn't seem like a sure thing.

Yeah, GSMA didn't think too highly of the camera, but the samples they provided looked perfectly fine to me. Other reviewers also noted that the camera was below par, but they said that was relative to Xiaomi's usual standard - apparently, it's about average for the price segment. Then again, having seen the Yureka's camera, that might not mean much.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

G3 was pretty fluid for about the first month for me, would probably stay that way a little longer for most other people, but the lag does start coming in at about that point (i.e. 100 - 200 apps installed) - on the stock LG ROM. Run a custom AOSP/CM based, and it's smooth as butter. It still lags now and then, but that's usually only when I have 20 tabs open in Chrome, 3 or 4 other apps open, and LTE on (heats it up, which activates throttling). With my previous phone, I'd always notice the lag way before that, and remember to reduce the load - now, I forget there even is a load, most of the time. Better battery life too, for the most part.

But yeah, stock ROM will lag eventually. Even Xperias and HTCs lag after a while, and their custom skins are the lightest ones around (relatively, of course).
[General Topics] PieceKeepr:
I highly recommend the HTC M8 or M9. I'm completely sold on HTC phones and my last 3 have all been HTC.

Tell me about it. A part of me keeps saying that 32gb is enought, I can manage and the other's like 'It's not worth it. Don't u dare risk it and regret it later!' Lol. Always like that.

Well this time I'm going to be extra patient. Will just wait and see. Perhaps the price of the Xperia Z5 Compact on ebay might get lower or something from moto will catch my eye. Let's see..

Oh okay, then I don't know. I didn't look very closely into it. It's quite possible it's a hassle to unlock the bootloader. That could be very frustrating.

Yea, I guess we can't expect too much from Xiaomi's cameras except maybe the mi5.

I am looking for a phone with a fingerprint sensor and a minimum 5.5" screen. I am looking at the Huawei Honor 5X but I am wondering about it's performance. Some reviews say that it is laggy. I don't play games on my phone but most performance I need out of my phone is to run Google Maps navigator and Pandora simultaneously. I had a Oneplus One before that worked flawlessly with these loads. As a short term replacement for my Oneplus One when it broke I bought a Blu Studio X Plus which performs horrendously.

What do you say, HTC 10 or Nexus 6P?

I'm bit worried about the Nexus mostly because huwai.

It's important for me the phond will have very good camera like the G4 and speaker's like HTC.

Also pure android or the HTC sense - thats why this two phone are in my mind.

The only problem is that the HTC 10 will cost a lot more, somewhere around 150-200$. Is it worth it?

Oh and one last thing, about the brightness, from revivews and blogs i understand that the Nexus 6P doesn't handle very well in the sun, or mostly outdoors.

It's very important the phone will have high brightness though and that i won't need to cover the phone with my hand's outdoors to see the screen.
