With all the new phones coming out, you don't want to be stuck paying extra now for something that could be reduced soon, or get stuck buying something new now, only to have the new model come out for the same price you just paid. There's the Samsung Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus, the Moto X Style/Pure and X Play, the 2 new Nexuses, the OnePlus 2, the LG G Pro 3, etc,

Of course, there's always new devices coming out, so waiting for the right time to buy can be a perpetual cycle, but right now, it's a good idea to wait a month or 2. It does depend on what you're interested in getting though. If you want a Note 4 or Nexus 6, wait a bit for the new ones to come out. If you want a Moto X or Nexus 5, wait for the new one. If you want a Xperia Z3 or G3, go ahead, since there's nothing happening that'll affect the prices of these.

Phone with Snapdragon 801 or the Snapdragon 615 ???

Power house or Future Proof?

[General Topics] skpManiac:
I'm hoping to get the LG G4 DUAL SIM if it works on 4G in UK :/
[General Topics] Planterz:
Are you saying that the 615 is future proof? Why? Because it's 64 bit? It's going to be a while before having a 64 bit processor will make any real difference. I'd go with the 801, everything else being equal. The performance advantages of being 64 bit aren't enough to make the 615 a better choice than the 801. The 615, after all, is a mid-range chip.

My Nexus 4 is still going strong. If it weren't for the minimal storage, I'd prefer it over any "budget" phone, save perhaps the new Moto G 16gb/2gb.

imo, the S4 is still an excellent phone. you have removable battery AND external SD card slot. alot of new phones don't unfortunately.
[General Topics] KayKashyap:
Well that's what i thought, and yea 615 is no where near to 801 & the 64 bit 810,820 are way too expensive.

so i guess i made a right choice by purchasing a smartphone with 801 as i always long for power (MI4 64GB) :D

also one more thing,i hear 64 bit SOCs heats up a lot, compared to 32bit SOCs !!

Thank you all!!!

So I grabbed the Nexus 6 from Google Play. 64GB White. Best phone I've ever owned. Came with no bloatware. Unlocking and rooting was cake. This is definitely the best phone to get on Verizon if you can handle the size of it ;). Thanks to all who recommended this to me!

Oneplusone would probably give you the most control.

I wouldn't get the G3 personally. While it's a nice phone I've heard it has some touch screen issues and I know quite a few people who've had to send it off for repair, and 32GB is too small honestly.

Asus Zenphone looks nice, but I don't know how easily unlockable it is if that's your game or how decent Asus support is.

But the new Moto G has epic battery life and at that cost you wouldn't mind experimenting with the system and being adventurous with ROMs.

My current phone is a Note 4. I've been a Sammy user since Galaxy was introduced. On AT&T.

So, interestingly, I"m not very happy with the Note 4:

AT&T issue - Not rootable. (I don't care any longer for custom ROMS, but miss some capabilities that root offers)

I have several little crazy issues, but 2 main ones are: Google voice prompt speaker whistles with feedback when first say 'OK Google'; Can't get any app to consistently read texts over BT while driving.

I think the bloatware is causing some performance problems for me. I have disabled several and it did help.

I have a LOT of apps installed. Always have. Counting bloatware that may not be disabled, I have around 150.

Oh, also, I have lots of problems wiht Pandora on this phone. When the accessory is launched from my car, often it fails. When I play Pandora app, it often quits playing if it is not the front/active app. Very annoying.

So I was thinking that the Note 5 would be my final phone for a while (actually thought that about this one). But I read that the 4GB is half used up on initial boot. So, I'm thinking I need to move to something less bloated.

I like what I'm seeing about the Moto Pure, but concerned about battery, and only 3GB of RAM. Seems higher end phones should all be on 4GB now.

Been considering the Nexus Huawai version, but no SD (if I'm not mistaken).

What'cha all think? Given my use of so many apps, do I need to not settle for less than 4GB? Maybe one without all the bloat will mitigate that.

I'm hoping to get something that works much better hands free. Haven't had much luck with that with any of my Android phones. I had much better luck with that way back when I was on Microsoft's phone OS, before Windows phone...with Microsoft's Voice Command.
[General Topics] Planterz:
If you're buying a phone outright (off-contract), look into buying a T-Mobile phone instead. With few exceptions, T-Mobile is far more lax when it comes to rootable phones and/or unlocked bootloaders. And more to the point, the higher end T-Mobile phones tend to have support for most or all of AT&T's LTE bands. Bands 4 and 2 are shared by all, while band 17 is an AT&T band, yet many T-Mo phones have support for this band.
[General Topics] ewingr:
Thanks for the thoughts.

Yes, I've even considered selling the AT&T and purchasing a Tmobile one. But per my list above, rootability is not nearly my only problem.

I'm just losing confidence in the Samsung line. I've experimented with lots of ROMS on earlier phones, and even trying the popular 'stable' ROMS, I find they are buggy.

Wouldn't suprise me if I expect too much from a phone.
[General Topics] patriotaki:
Im on the note 4 at the moment is it worth buying the note 5?

I do reviews for smartphone accessories so the ability to change batteries is very good for me..

I believed the touchwiz issues were fixed but sadly no.. The phone gets laggy on samsung apps like gallery,messaging and few other samsung apps all other apps run fine..i noticed a small improvement when i deleted all of my photos

Is it touchwiz fault? Or other phones lag too in gallery app or something like this?

Should i move to the Note 5? I love the Note series though..but i got bored of the PlayStore theres nothing there compared to AppStore.. But i can live with an iOS device....

Sent from a Galaxy far away
[General Topics] Geordie Affy:
Moto X Style FTW.

Prices will start at £360 here in the UK and its to be released in September and I believe thats for the 32GB version (also has a Memory card slot for upto 128GB Micro SD cards). The Camera is said to be the 3rd best ... Not too far behind the S6 (which has an amazing Camera) but have to wait and see how true that is. It's pretty much the same size as the LG G4 yet has 5.7" Screen. It will have loads of Dev support as its going to be pretty much stock Android no bloat! Also you can use MotoMaker to customise it how you like what more do you need haha.

Problem with OnePlus is crap customer support and all this begging malarky, also the OS is unknown but it will no doubt have loads of dev support.

The Moto X(s) may be a bit too big for comfortably carrying your phone in your pocket.

The Z2 battery is great and its waterproof.

The S5 has an IR blaster and is pretty durable. And is more popular hence more ROMs.

I would go for the S5 if I were you but if looks matter to you then the Z2 is the best choice.

Note 4 - highly recommend it if you can get a good deal.
[General Topics] Planterz:
With the Note 5 coming out, it should drop the price of the 4 (and 3, which is still a very good device). I say should, but I have a feeling that a lot of people won't be enthusiastic about the Note 5. It's been a few months since release, but I've only seen one single Galaxy S6 in "the wild". Seriously. What does the Note 5 offer that the Note 4 doesn't? A 64bit processor? That's not going to entice anyone to upgrade. A better camera? Ok, but the Note 4's camera is still excellent. The screen is exactly the same, No microSD card slot, battery unremovable. I have a feeling that the Note 4 will retain its value for quite a while longer, so while it might be a bit cheaper, it won't be a bargain for some time. Not like the LG G2 and G3 have become.
[General Topics] Azy77:
Very true Planters. Going from a Galaxy S3 to Note 4 was a worthy upgrade for me and when I'll be due for renewal next year, honestly I think I'll stuck with it and just get a sin deal to go with it. A mate of mine has an S6 edge and while it looks ultra sleek and is very snappy probably a bit more than my note 4, I can't go to a smaller size.

THE BATTERY :(

If the battery was bigger I would buy it instantly but I'm gonna ask in the moto x forums to ask about it and see if the battery can at least last me a day as I charge all my devices every night!

I also considered the 1+1 but I'm not to sure about that as my devices usually have hardware defects and need to be sent back and oneplus doesn't really have a good customer service at all from what I read on loads of forums and I'm really not in the mood to deal with bad customer service (looking at you Sony!)

So I unfortunately dropped my trusty LG G2 that I've only had for a couple of months. I hate the buttons on the back which also inevitable caused its demise. Luckily, I'm up for a renewal. I'm not really sure what to get though, as both an upgrade (to let's say a Nexus 6, maybe a Z3) or something similar to my G2 (perhaps a Nexus 5, or a secondhand OPO coupled with SIM-only).

However, I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade. I'm looking mainly for something that's futureproof, likes custom roms, can watch videos, perhaps something I can hook my PS3 controller up on, but nothing too big on the price (armv8 is unfortunately out of my price range), but don't want to overpay for something I don't need.

Guys, I need some advice. I'm planning on replacing my old phone for new one. I want one with a great camera (Z1C was horrible) and apparently I'm currently stuck with 4 choices. The Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, LG G4 and Lenovo Vibe Shot. These are a few weakness that I find in each:

-S5: USB 3.0 and flappy port

-Note 4: Price

-G4: build quality and unnecessarily huga 2K screen on IPS.

-Vibe Shot: not a flagship and fairly new so not many devs yet.

If you were me, which one would you choose and why? Also if you have any other alternatives that would be very welcomed but avoid Sony since the service center in my place sucks very badly. Thanks guys.

I had the 64g Black Sandstone and loved it but being a Sammy fan boy the amoled screen is much better and so is the camera. That being said for the outright price OPO is a fantastic bargain and you can pick one up on Swappa for a great deal.
