Sweet, I think I'll stick with the S5, the waterproofing is also one of the greatest feature of my Z1C. Thanks again, dude!
[General Topics] Al-Dazzlez:
Hi guys, need some advice (think this is the right thread)

The note 5 came out and it is one of the biggest disappointments for me over the last year I have waited for it. And the S6 (for me anyways) is useless as it is prized upon all the features I don't use like camera and useless smart features (it also lacks removable back and SD)

So I needed something with traits for a heavy use, no camera, awesome built device so it would last with me.

Need a powerful phone with great screen (not below 1080p). Price is not a matter. nor is camera as I don't use it

Need a big battery for heavy heavy use (S6 battery is so bad, so are some like the G4 as ive used all of them for a few days at a time from siblings)

Other than that yeah, if removable back is there and/or expandable storage it would be nice.

So far I've come up with:

1. OnePlus Two (only con is no SD SLot/the memory apparently is pretty reliable)

2. Note 4 + Zerolemon 10000mah (only con is that I feel its too old :P )

3. Huawei Ascend mate7 (no removable back but its good as ive used one)

im stuck with my S2 now for the last couple of years and now REALLY need a replacement.

Any other phones that come to mind feel free to advise me.

Thanks in advance and sorry if any mistakes were made in the post.

SGH-T399N for the masses!!!

My next smartphone? I'd be content with another just like the one I have: the Samsung Galaxy Light, SGH-T399N. Of course, as far as this site is concerned (xda developers), the device is non-existent; i.e. it doesn't come up in "Type to find device..." at the top of every page, doesn't come up in the device field when creating one's profile, basically just doesn't exist. I find it pretty strange that you're forced to choose from a specific list of devices when creating a profile as opposed to being able to specify your actual device. The implication seems to be: "Don't bother hanging out here....device not found!"

Anyway, I received this phone free of charge from MetroPCS as a necessary replacement for my dumbphone with Metro's switch to T-Mobile's 4G-LTE network. It's small but surprisingly fast and full-featured, it's 4G-LTE, and runs TouchWiz on top of KK 4.4.2 just fine. I'd be content with another one. As a matter of fact, this phone is currently available new in-store for only $19.90 out-of-pocket after in-store rebates, and it's tempting to acquire another as a backup. That's less than $20, folks!

Mine's rooted, feature bloat has been trimmed, stock recovery replaced by TWRP, and OS tweaked by Xposed (thanx Wanam). I'm as happy as a clam!!!

What's an S6 Edge? ;)

I'm having z3 compact, and would like to try OnePlus one, i'm fan of z3c battery life, and speed, and the camera is great too.

Looking into specs, OPO is a bit stronger, but in real life?

Is it worth for me to sell my z3c and to buy OPO?

What are the biggest minus to OPO phone?
[General Topics] Cyanandroid:
Not too much difference but of course u will get 1 gb more ram and if u are on a camera then i will suggest u not to get opo because the camera in sony is more better than in opo.i am a owner of opo and i am very satisfied with the performance but the battery is not that much good.if u want more performance then grab one opo otherwise everything is excellent in ur sony.

The Elephone Vowney recently caught my eye, but I dunno... What's Elephone's build quality and reliability like? I'm also interested in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, or maybe the Moto X Style...

I have no concerns over the Moto, but I'm kinda dubious with the China phones, especially when it comes to getting hold of one in the UK...
[General Topics] Jeik:
You will possibly have to pay tax on it.

However,if you can get your hands on the Moto X Style,no Chinese phone can challenge it.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
No. Also the OPO isn't a bit stronger when compared to the Z3c as both use the same exact chipset with the Z3 getting better performance due to pushing less pixels, vastly superior battery life, and etc. I suggest looking at the OnePlus Two instead.
[General Topics] drbveb88:
I have a note 4 edge with a ultra fast custom rom on it. Side by side in the store the note 5 beat it in every facet. Opening menus, in and out of apps, boot up time, Web browsing, of course Antutu Benchmark crushed the note 4. (44000 compared to 61000)

I am drooling over what XDA developers will do with this beast.

Everyone seems to be knocking the note 5 before they touch it. The processor and ram makes a huge difference.

Think of a lab top with an i3 processing chip versus the i5 chip. It's a noticeable difference. Performance, stability and speed is what sets it apart.

When you have so much under the hood already, it's hard to completely blow the public away. It's about refining it, improving on the performance and making it the best possible. They have done that with the note 5. After playing with it for 2 hours, nobody will play with this phone and not notice how much more improved this build is.

I say the Note 5!! Between the specs and the Spen, you can't buy a phone with more functuality.

My 2 cents...
[General Topics] leonnn22:
I think the best phones at this moment are:

Hello. I need your assistance in choosing a good tablet for my mother. I honestly am not that much into tablets so I can't decide.

Her use isn't that sort of heavy I guess, she watches online videos and listens to some music. Even though I believe that videos will eat up battery, but if it cannot be helped then don't bother about battery. I've heard a lot about Lenovo but I'm not sure if it has good build quality or no. I'm counting on you guys.

I want the price to be moderate, affordable. Not more than $260 because of customs and whatnot.

Moto X Style or One plus 2

Hi guys, I need your opinion as I am torn between these two, Moto X style has a killer camera and screen but the One plus has slightly better processor , ram and GPU. I am a bit inclined towards motoX due to my photography hobby but I am not sure if 3gb ram and snap 808 will be enough for future-proofing... is there really a good use to go for snapdragon 810 and 4gb ram (i.e. One +2 ) or are they more like an overkill and I can do good for 2 to 2.5 yrs(on moto X style ) even without them ? your opinions and reasons please..
[General Topics] Jeik:
To me,OnePlus is gone. The Two is just ugly...And the fact that I would have to scavenge in order to just get an invite to buy that grotesque device....

If somebody offered me to exchange my g2 for the OPT,even for free,I would reject.

I would suggest Moto x Style.

And I think it is future—proof,becase it is not yet released/just released,and it will get updates pretty much like a nexus phone.

Dude, I'd avoid anything with SD810 until SD820 goes out. SD808 also isn't that bad, it's probably the best you can get out of Qualcomm for now. OP2 might be good but it'll be hard to get and if visiting service center is crucial to you, the more reason to go with Moto X Style. Here's an article I wrote about OnePlus Two if you wanna read.

Personally I would never waste my time with a Phone with less then 3000mah as i have always had to buy the biggest possible external battery for the workload i put my phones through, Everything from doing spreadsheets to taking pictures selling on ebay 16 different email accounts and even downloading large files and muilti-tasking my note 4 that I'm using is all Blown out it handled little less then a year being a workhorse, The internal MMC is dying and my cpu reaches temps of 76C on the daily. Previously to this phone i had the note 2 and that phone for what it was lasted me and never had any problems untill the wifi unseated it self and would no longer connect just stay grey'd out.

So pros and cons Samsung over the years has proven some of there devices to be able to withstand the workloads of the basic user to the extreme like my self.

MotoX my have the supporting hardware to compete but it dont have the battery to make it last.

Note 4 I would say is a great phone if in my experience it didnt start dying 8 months from original purchase.

Note 2 Amazing phone limited on its age.

these chinese phones they keep coming out with might be nice if they had the supporting basebands and channels for USA carriers.

OnePlus 1 great phone for the average user working as a mechanic when the phone was released i watched it hand alot of abuse even dropped int a bucket of oil and still be flawless but thats running Cyanogen 12

Oneplus 2 no one really actually knows if its worth waiting for seeing as all the Chinese versions are being sold the more they prolong the release to the uninvited public there banking on the overpriced 2G network brick.

as far as other phones i have seen upcoming released phones.

Note 5

S6 and S6+

way to go Samsung for coping the iphone **** and making a un-removable battery a Retro thing for these new flagships.

smaller phone more Power Less juice Less use then when your battery takes a **** and usually an active user can see the battery falling down in voltage after the first 6 months loosing over 25% of what the battery originally had because of the over-current battery charging and improper cycling.

dont get me started on the idea of not having an SD card.. now its 220$ for a 200gb SD like wtf samsung **** dicks.

Best bet for a OG flagship is to find your self at a Yardsale or a FleaMarket in a bucket of cell phones the Real OG Google G1 phone with the mouseball and the sliding screen and ASDFG keyboard... it might even power up still without being charged because for once lol Android 1.5 it was 100% optimized for the device and supporting hardware unlike all these company's pissing out unfinished products then sending OTA updates that drag down the devices just before a newer upcoming release.

MONOPOLY garbage.

She bought the Meizu M2 Note online,since Meizu was a company not known in Croatia

I am a person who frequently changes phones(I would sell my phone,and buy another used one every 5 months or so),and even after a month of using this phone,I still squirm of joy while using it. It is fast,smooth,can record in 4k(on stock Lollipop),the camera quallity is excellent,the display is amazing,the phone feels excellent in the hand(big screen,but a small body),and the buttons on the back are extremely nice(I thought I wouldnt like them,because I was using the S3 before),the rom development is various(FlymeOS 4.5,MIUI 7,Euphoria,official CM12.1,AOSPA,BlissPop,Crdroid,SlimSaber,SlimLP,CloudyG2(complete LG G4 OS port),Metallium ROM,RR,AICP...)

The phone is still a darn good phone(40 000 in Antutu),and I can say that this is the first time I have been this happy with a phone.

But I would suggest the Meizu M2 Note,since it has the same specs(except for the CPU,but I can assure you,this MTK model is seriously well-made) as the G2,and costs less than 150$.
