Ha ha yes, but I do a lot of standing and I'm in the habit of taking out whenever I sit down. I also have a tempered glass screen protector on it which has done wonders for protection. I don't ever just sit down without taking it out. I also don't make a habit of falling on my rear as I'm walking. LOL

The M5 looks pretty much identical to my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact except witha 5 inch screen rather than 4.6. Everything else looks pretty close to the same so it would not be really an upgrade for me. I need something a little bit grander. My eye is on the smaller Nexus 2015 device that's coming out. I'm going to wait and see what it's confirmed an official stats are... then make my choice.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
Actuallly, your phone came out mid 2012, but I see your point. Most the phones I included in the list are mid 2014 and above. I see most people putting it in their back pocket. One of my friends put his 5 in phone in his front pocket, and I cringe every time he sits down lol. The only real difference between a flaghship and modern camera is that flaghship camera's are usually the best of the best, and that's about it. I think only the S4 mini has a ton of rom support. I'm thinking they me be both. As I said before I hoping the Z5c is has the same display size and comes to verizon :D.
[General Topics] eng3:
You're right, it was 2012. I think I'll just keep waiting for the next round of phones. Eventually, if the "perfect" phone doesnt come around, either my current one will break or get too slow/run out of memory for the new stuff and force me into an upgrade.

I'm choosing between Huawei P8 vs Huawei Honor 7 vs OnePlus 2. Any help would be really appreciated))

Especially I'm interested in custom ROm development.
[General Topics] mwedo:
Honor 7. Much cheaper than P8, yet equally same or even better considering specs and there's also an awesome camera (Sony's IMX230 sensor). Video recording is not that good but it will be fixed with an update. OP2 is meh.

And why is it better than OP2? You think there will be mich development on H7?
[General Topics] eng3:
I forgot to comment about the pocket thing. It's ironic its so big that you cringe when he sits down with it in his front pocket where I cringe when I see someone sitting down with a phone in their back pocked (unless its a hot girl :D ). Aside from crushing the screen, its easy to fall out and get stolen. Especially when more than half of it is sticking out.

I'd love to have a bigger screen too, but as a guy, it's not very useful if I have no way to carry it. I just don't understand how other people deal with it. Maybe that's why so many people buy insurance for their phone and are constantly replacing it.

My 5" m8 fits fine in my front pocket. Better without the case on it but still fine without. Some of you must have really tight jeans I guess.
[General Topics] eng3:
A 5" phone will fit in my front pocket as well but it does not feel comfortable. It feels very tight and there's not much room for movement. This is especially true if I need to crouch down . With my current phone, I can slighting rearrange my pocket so it sits more on the side of my leg versus the front area. I have trouble doing this with my 5" phone.

The best way to describe it would be, with my current phone, someone looking at you can't tell you have a phone in there. With a 5" phone, you can. Also, I often stick my phone in my shirt pocket. I can't fit a 5" phone at all in there as its too wide.

I disagree. The lg g4 is much better although I'd advise the s6. Future proof is a joke in this word of rapidly advancing technology. The g4 has better hardware, better support, better and less laggy ui, better camera, and no annoying invite system. Also, lg is likely to give android updates longer than 1plus. 1plus is notorious for bad customer support and personally, I don't trust them. Also the g4 has a much larger dev community

[General Topics] Cooldato:
G4 all the way. Dont even compare G4 to OPT please :) OPT lacks of some really needed features. And costs the same as G4, this must be a joke. The ONLY thing that OPT might have better than G4 - can be battery and nothing else.

G4's only screen-colours-camera costs the whole Oneplus Two :D

Nope, 3 of my friends are using G4 and none of them complained yet about overheating.
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
J5
[General Topics] sa-ra:
Why ?
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
Because it is an Android, not Windows mobile. It is also better for me as I am not a fan of Lumia and they have poor community/support, no custom roms and the J5 is all the opposite.
[General Topics] sa-ra:
I'm prefer the windows phone because it isn't lag and it has better performance than android and it has the basic programmes which I needed and the kaspersky company said that android is more safer than android .

That is my point of view and I respect your opinion .....
[General Topics] obscuresword:
Depends on if you going for Android or Windows Phone. Both are pretty similar spec wise with the exception of the camera (it seems better on the J5 but mp doesn't tell everything).

I put my Sony Xperia Z3 compact in my back pocket and it doesn't stick out at all. It fully fits in the pocket perfectly without feeling too tight or restricting anything. I think the perfect size phone is between 4.6 and 5.0. For me that's perfect. I'm looking at the smaller of the two new Nexus 2015 models Or the Sony Xperia M... Although that's not much of an upgrade from what I currently have so I'm not really sure yet. The main reason I was going to Nexus is because it's Nexus and I know that it will always have the latest and greatest software for it. One thing I do not like about the Sony Xperia Z3 contact is that the speakers are not very loud unless you are rooted and modify them, which I am, but I wish the speaker was very loud. It's quite ironic that a Sony machine is not that loud.

[General Topics] Jeik:
Well... If you are a Samsung fan-boy,I can't make you change your mind.

I dislike Samsung,and if I had to buy a Samsung device,the only one would be the Note 5.

Other than that,I would go for the Z4/Z3+, G4 and OP2.

Samsung is horrible with its source release,so I am sure you know that ROMs will be delayed,and that KNOX will possibly smack the crap out of you when you try to do basic things like rooting.

Wait,wait...S6 and OP2 have same price? xD

There is a 300$ difference between OP2 and the cheapest version of the S6.
[General Topics] eruben:
Well, I said imagining the prices are the same. Just it's not a priority parameter for me now.

I know Samsung problems and I'm really not a fan of it. But what would you suggest? I can get OP2 but it has it's own problems. G4 is simply ugly plus SD810 problems. So I would really appreciate listening to some ideas why to buy OP or LG from you.

P.S. Z4 is not available yet and I really not going to wait. I was waiting whole year for Z3, then G4, then OP...and it was all the disappointment.

OP2 has its own issues(bugs mostly because its ROM IS YOUNG-bugs will be fixes with time),but it will last the longest when it comes to software.

The G4 is to me an excellent phone,and it has the SnapDragon 808,not 810,meaning that it doesnt overheat. I have the G2 atm,and I can say that if the g4 is logically better,it is surely PERFECT. And,if I am correct,the G4s bootloader can be unlocked OFFICIALLY.

The Z3+ is available,but has the SD810. .____.

Still,I am personally not a gamer,since I HAVE A GAMER PC TO PLAY GAMES,and if I do,I only play PacMan 256 if I am seriously bored(also highly unlikely).

The Z3,LG G4 and OP2 can fully utilize AOSP with the nav bar(complete,perfect UI),and Samsung cant(I hated AOSP on my S3 because it was imperfect!)

To me,the priority is,to me:

1.Xperia Z3(because of the body and features which make me drool)

2.LG G4(a good phone,and you can cover its body with custom skins/cases if you seriously dislike that pretty body)

3.Samsung S6(the phone is seriously good,my friend let me use it for 1 day,but DO have the KNOX in mind)

4.OP2(a good phone,"immortal" when it comes to software support,and a low price)

[MENTION=3387463]eruben[/MENTION]

S6's and all other Samsung devices are easily rooted. But it does void the warranty. Why should Samsung replace your phone if you broke it doing something that you know is dangerous?

IMO lg and Samsung provide better software support than OP.

I think that the s6 is better than the g4 because it has better hardware. Also I personally like touchwiz better than optimus.

I don't know much about Sony phones but I do know that the s6 is superior to the z3 in everything except for battery life. Like seriously, Sony's battery lives are AMAZING! anyhow, I don't think I would buy a phone just over battery life.

Z5 premium, a 4k display with an S810 sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!
[General Topics] Jeik:
There are people who arent hardware hunters.

And you are comparing apples and pears. Each OEM provides different things.

Samsung has an amazing AMOLED screen and the fingerprint scanner,and it is "compatible" with the most people. SONY is waterproof,has an excellent camera,supports SD cards,its OS is clean and its body design is the most premium-looking out there. LG has the laser focus,and overall nice build quallity.

SONY is MY FAVORITE,and to ME,the lack of SDcard,waterproof certificate and exquisite body/OS design is the thing which shoves the S6 away.

I am not saying that Samsung is bad,but this is MY dream combination:The Xperia Z line phone,the Samsung Note line phablet,Samsung Note line tablet.

[Q] New phone ≤ 4.5"; good camera?

Hello,

Currently I own a Xiaomi redmi note. Although, lastly, I've got into running, so this phone is quite big for this activity and I would like to adquire a new phone which can be more suitable for this and also daily usage. The requirements that it should meet are:

Not a really big phone with a screen of 4 - 4.5"

Good camera, since I love to take shots of nature (mainly landscapes)

Good battery, if it's possible more than 3000mah

If it's possible less than 300$

Thank you!

Z5 premium has a 4k display, which is overkill. Yeah its gonna be amazing, but I would rather a 1080p AMOLED display and get better battery from it.

For me, a 4k display at that size is gonna be a waste of battery life. The 810 chip has already had enough issues overheating, without now throwing in a ton more pixels and power hungry display!
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
Don't know until I see it. Knowing SONY, I believe they know what they are doing and that they will implement the plasma TV's BRAVIA engine in this smartphone series. The CPU is less important than the GPU when it comes to image rendering, and the overheating will not be an issue because they tend to test their devices thoroughly before mass production. The only exception was the Xperia Z1's "camera sensor overheating" error and issue which was resolved via OTA software update. No such mistakes shall repeat again, I am most certain.

I need a new phone.

My last one was Motorola Razr I XT890. I've been using it for about 2 years and it was perfect for me... Then it died.

It should cost no more than 250$. The things I loved about XT890:

- Solid metal case and overall design. I don't like the plastic feel.

- Dimensions: 122.5 x 60.9 x 8.3 mm. Optimal for me, don't like to carry large objects in my pocket.

- Very reliable, it has never failed me before it died.

I would like to see these features in my new phone, with the internal specifications the best as they can be. I'm also looking for dual-sim.

Best all around phone for techies

Hey guys, I'm new to XDA but I'm a big techie myself in which I like to add custom ROMs, things like that. So I just got the new Samsung S6 Edge+ and I'm really disappointed in the phone. Battery life is awful and out here in San Diego, the signal absolutely sucks big ones!!! So I've decided to take a step back and ask some of the coders and techies on here what they have now and what they suggest I try to pick up for an overall customizable phone with great battery life (possibly removable battey), good storage, great performance, and also good signal reception (possible dual antenna). I can still turn this new Samsung back in which I will do because for what I paid for it, its definitely not worth it. So I would greatly appreciate if someone could recommend a phone that I could go crazy with. I'm used to doing everything on a phone, ever messing around with the performance parameters. Even if if I have to get an older phone that someone recommends, thats fine or wait for another phone that is coming out. Ive heard alot about the Nubia Z9 and the OnePlus One. Thanks everyone.

For stability the HTC one m8 might be one of the best options. Has an SD card slot. Not the biggest battery but it performs not much worse than the LG g2 I had before, which is saying a lot. An external backup power bank might be good idea for any phone in your usage.
