Hi xda-tech's.

I'm using an iPhone 6S Plus at the moment, but I'm pretty tired of carrying 2 phones on me everyday - one for work and one private. I have surfed a bit around to find a dual-sim phone, but I'm not sure which to choose.

I have 2 phones in mind: OnePlus 5 or Huawei Mate 9 Pro. I don't care if the camera isn't top notch, what really means a lot is that it is stable and have a good reception. Do anyone of you have any experience with both or just one?

I'm staying in Denmark and we don't have the Chinese models.

Thanx ;)

If you arent keen on custom roms etc get that Huawei.

I have had numbers of phones with custom ROM on it. The first one was actually HTC HD2 witch was ported to Android.

I just want a stable daily driver without any hick-ups and I think these might be one of them.

Is there any android phone which provides rich experience in listening music and at the same time which has support upto 1 tb and greater.

Is there any android mobile which has special processing unit for audio like there is separate processing unit for graphics ie., gpu.

[General Topics] Large Hadron:
Any phone with a headphone socket has a DAC and amplifier, though many will rely on that built into the SoC. Some LG G6 models have a higher quality DAC, and the HTC 10 has a very good reputation in that department.

There are no 1TB microSD cards, and won't be in the lifetime of any phone you buy today, so I'd not worry about that.

Hello friends,

I'm looking for some recommendations on pablets / tablets w. phone-function that have at least a 6.9 inch screen.

Right now I have a Huawei P8max with a 6.8" screen, and while it still a quite good compagnon to me, I'd love to get something that is more state of the art in terms of specs and maybe dimensions / weight.

I there something that fits this criteria? You know, once you got a big screen, you never return to a smaller one, so it has to be at least 6.9 inch. Somehow I don't see anything in that area released over the last year. Maybe I've missed something during my research. Any recommendations?

Does any other model in zte mobiles other than zte axon 7 has a separate processing unit for audio.
[General Topics] rupeshforu3:
At present I have reviewed the phones zte axon 7 and alcatel idol 4s.

I have reviewed the features of alcatel idol 4s and I have decided it is perfectly suitable to me and it comes at reasonable price.

Alcatel idol 4s has virtual reality feature as in Samsung Galaxy s6 edge, 512 GB external memory card support and has lot of features regarding audio but I have one doubt ie., does alcatel idol 4s has separate processing unit for audio as zte axon 7 has.

I think that alcatel is a Chinese company and so can I think that it doesn't work for lifetime atleast for 10 years without any problems.
[General Topics] zelendel:
They are both companies based in China.

As for a device lasting 10 years. Yeah none of them will last that long.

Can I try xiomi redmi note 4 which has separate processing unit for audio. Is redmi note 4 superior than alcatel idol 4 and zte axon 7

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

When I use alcatel idol 4s with care is it possible to expect life time of 10 year's. Previously I have brought some electronic products like speakers and upon bringing to home they failed to work. I am asking whether some of the Chinese products may fail like circuits fail even though I handle with care.
[General Topics] zelendel:
There is always that chance with every device. No matter where it is made. The best you cant really hope for out of a device is a couple of years. If you are really careful then it can last 5 or so before it is just too out of date to run anything new.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I've had an HTC desire from 2010 last over 5 years but it couldn't run most of the newer apps because it was running gingerbread and all the newer ROMs I tried were buggy. The original battery lasted almost 4 years before I replaced it since it was down to maybe 60% of its original capacity.

I also had an HTC one s last over 4 years with the original battery still working perfectly. It started to have issues with not reading the sim card towards the end and the amoled screen started to die, the colors went all weird.

I wouldn't expect any LG phones to last that long however. With their track record of failing motherboards and every lg phone I've had ending up with an issue of one kind or another. I'm done with them forever. If they finally got their act together with the g6 and the 2 year warranty, it's still too late. Plus that 2 year warranty doesn't exist in Canada as far as I know.

You should ask him (or not if it's a surprise) what are his priorities (screen size, waterproof or not, camera / sound etc.). Then you should tell us your budget, it's hard to recommend, if we don't even know if you want a latest flagship or a year old model :)

Hi there :) I'm looking for a smartphone priced around PHP 20,000 ($400). My priorities are: good build quality, good battery life, stock Android, decent specs, and good software update support (if not, then a good 3rd-party modding community).

What phone do you guys recommend?
[General Topics] rupeshforu3:
I think that alcatel idol 4s has all the features like octa core processor, hi-fi audio, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 512 GB external memory card support etc., especially there are number of features listed under audio sub system.So I think that there is no need to buy a new phone upto ten years

I am asking whether alcatel idol 4s is a duplicate or fake product I mean I have seen some Chinese products like external speakers which resulted in circuit board failure. Someone also suggested that zte and alcatel are both Chinese products and so there is no chance of getting a life span of 10 years.

If I use the alcatel idol 4 with care are there any chances of getting failures.

Community support + Battery life

Hello, I am happy user of Nexus 4, but after years, it shows some problems and I'd like to have LTE. I would buy Nexus, but these Pixels are too expensive, so I assume I need to look somewhere else.

I want my next phone to have strong community and developers support, as I like custom rom features (like switching music over volume control...), and next thing I would appreciate is better battery life for travelling.

Now I am looking at Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Lenovo P2, which has better battery, but weak community. Maybe I would go for Redmi 4X, which is smaller, but it has no community on xda.

Can you please help me, if something from these two options, or something different is worth it?

Thank you, I looked at N6P, but it is not been sold in my country already and secondhand models are more expensive than phones I have talked about and it is year older phone with weaker battery. I love Nexus, but I think this two years old model doesn't make sense. Am I wrong?

As for OnePlus, I have noticed it has similar reputation like Nexus, but although it is cheaper than Pixel, it still costs more than Xiaomi or Lenovo, especially here in Europe, and battery is weaker again. Is OnePlus (with weaker battery) experience worth two times higher price?

I got a 6p launch day and sold it a year later and still regret it...it was an awesome phone.

Id go a 2 yr old 6p over some lenovo or locked bootloader xiaomi.

You didn't get the point, when he first asked for which device he should get, he said that he couldn't decide between the two choices he mentioned. He was getting some good deals on Ebay and wanted to know which was a better deal. He was asking for help only on COMPARING the aforementioned deals. He mentioned that it was a quick question and he was just going to buy one of those.

You just misunderstood his post. I know that you would have helped him if you understood what he was asking for. I just want you to better understand so that more people can be helped.

You mean to say that if you have a few thousand thanks, you can never be wrong?? How dies that make sense?

And you still think what you did was right?

Let me summarize:

1. A person asks for help comparing two deals.

2. You say there are many OTHER choices(irrelevant to the question)

3. He asks again referring to the deals he mentioned, this time also giving his budget.

4. You reply he should have mentioned his budget in the first post (not giving him any more suggestions or help regarding his comparison).

5. I tell you he was only asking to compare the deals, he didn't need to mention a budget.

6. You tell me you have more thanks than me and therefore you must be right.

If you still don't realize, I don't think you ever will.

[General Topics] Natrax:
Hey,

I have been looking for a new phone to replace my Honor 7 after 2 years of service. Unfortunately there is no phone that would fit me perfectly at the moment as I'm definitely not fan of full glass phones and I want a "flagship" device..

What I need 100%:

Dual SIM phone with "latest" hardware (doesn't necessary need to be SD 835..)

no phabet

64GB+ of internal storage (as I won't be able to use a memory card)

high quality camera

one day of heavy use battery life

What I would like but can live without:

IP 67/68 resistance

3,5mm jack :)

At first I thought I would go for OnePlus 5, but after seeing how many problems the phone has and the quality of camera I had to cross it out. Xperias are no-go for me because of ergonomics. I also considered Honor 9, but as I can get it for the same price as G6 I crossed it out as well.

The selection then basically came down to two phones: Samsung S8, LG G6 (both LG and Samsung models I'm after have 64GB of internal memory).

I like the S8 amoled display, wireless charging and better hardware..

S8 will have higher reselling value in a year compared to G6 which already fell about 25% down in price, but I can get S8 for roughly 140% price of G6 so it will cancel out.. and it's much cheaper to break G6 than S8 :D

G6 just looks a little bit more durable because of curves on S8, problem is that in some durability tests I saw G6 and S8 were basically on par.. I use a phone a lot, so it unfortunataly flies from time to time and I'm not a great fan of cases. So would I get a (lot) more durable phone if I went for G6?

Which one would you recommend or is there any phone that would fulfill my needs that I missed and which improves any of the needed attributes?

Thanks!

Personally I would take an s7 over a g6 because of LG's terrible reliability. That and the horrible resale value of LG's phones which is probably due to their reputation for reliability and lack of updates.

Hi,

I am looking for the new phone.

What I want?

- good time on screen (more than 5 hours)

- fast, without any lags during surfing internet (many pages etc)

- screen 4.7-5.4

- this phone has to don't have any issues, problems with for example heating, motherboard etc.

What is not important?

- camera

- 3.5mm jack

I was thinking about Honor 8, LeEco le pro3 (4gb RAM) and Iphone SE ( I know that screen is 4'). What would you buy? You can pick another phone (at similiar price).
[General Topics] :
If you want little and reliable phone, I would myself go to SE - iOS is faster than Android (it's a fact...). I don't like Huawei devices cuz of their developing support (not a lot of ROMs here, NOT devs fault). I don't know anything about LeEco ?.

What phone fits this description?

Help me find my next phone! I've been out of the game for a couple years, and the way things change I might as well be a novice who knows nothing about phones anymore. The last time I was paying attention to anything, the Galaxy S3 was the talk of the town.

Here are my wants/needs:

1.) Compact size. I'd like my next phone to be something the size of the iPhone SE, or smaller.

2.) Camera at least as good as Galaxy S3.

3.) I absolutely abhor software buttons, I want something that clicks like on Galaxy Active versions.

4.) I would like the ability to flash ROMs or root or whatever is needed to remove bloatware.

5.) I much prefer Android to iOS, but if no better suggestions come up I would consider an iPhone SE.

Thanks for your input!

There are some laws being talked about being changed. Most concern concealed cameras in things like cabs and lift ride shares. Mostly that the camera has to be visable and they have to be told they are being recorded. It's about the expectation of privacy when in a cabbie such.

s7edge vs lg g6 vs htc10 ?

Hello.

I wanted to change my phone lately , so at first I looked at the phone I loved last year , htc10 (because of the clean android , no bloatware and the all around decent-ness) , until I noticed Id have a hard time finding screen protectors , cases , etc for the phone in my country , and it doesnt have warranty in my country and finding a repairman is hard if needed. so buying the htc 10 would be risky in the long run (and short run if I drop it or something)

then I saw the s7 edge on sale for a reasonable price (around $100 more expensive than the htc 10) so I considered that as well , but thats where I have my biggest question.

I have seen glass screen protectors for s7edge but all the comments said that it affected the touchscreen making it less sensitive to touch and all that . are the glass screen protectors for s7edge really that bad or are they the same as other phones' ?

(and by the way , weird as it may sound , s7edge is cheaper than normal s7 in my country , so I wouldnt want s7 , and I dont like touchwiz , so not a fan of samsung , but the s7edge price is nice when compared to my other choices)

then I saw the LG g6 , which I really like , but the software doesnt look good either (i've heard its similar to touchwiz about bloatware , and I dont like how it looks) and the previous flagships have had issues such as bootloops and broken camera lenses , which makes me worry about buying it.

i was also wondering if LG had any form of themes app similar to htc/samsung which could change the entire look of the phone ?

any recommendations which one to buy?

thanks in advance
