I'm pretty sure the HTC U12's are GSM, which means they won't work with Verizon or Sprint's CDMA networks unfortunately. I believe with a sim card you can probably get LTE data but as far as calling and texting you would need a device that supports CDMA, such as the pixel 2 or factory unlocked S9

S3

I used my S3 so long because it just works.

Remember, how great it was in 2012? It is not worse today, I just need something better.

But I need more by now.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Flagship budget.

Actually, my S3 lasted very well.

It keeps up today, browsing is smooth enough, I just need a phone that charges faster (battery replacing is uncomfortable each time) and better camera than before.
[General Topics] cavags5:
Your s3 is not worse today?

Are you kidding,

That is a massive lag and battery last 2 3h this years ago,

And doesn't mention apps that doesn't work for that android you have, most are updated to new android.

I think you need really to update and see the difference, where you were lost in time, unless you use your phone to just calls and messages., i have a note4 that my kid use for YouTube and some game, and lag like hell.

Compared to newest models.

I advice you to a s8 plus and you will see the next level, and its a good price.

Mate 10 Pro VS Pixel 2 XL - Which One To Keep?

I have both, camera is slightly better on the Pixel but I came from the Mate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The allure to the Pixel is flashable ROMs and long term 2-3 year support. There appears to be a growing movement on Open Kirin to getting more ROMs for the Mate and P series. Really I'd stick with the Mate if I knew there were/are more. I also enjoy the super charging, but I'm also enjoying the fluid stock Android of the Pixel. Huawei has recently announced Pixel like updates.I'll believe it when I see it but I'm optimistic. Quad HD and ambient display don't mean as much to me, I don't travel too much, I get VoLTE on both, and I would enjoy more gestures for the Pixel. I'm a man divided and would welcome some feedback. Im looking to have this phone for around 2 years if not longer.

Advice on new phone / I can't stand VZW but have to use them..

I get the best roaming and so on from Verizon around here. Here's what I'm looking for in a phone. I currently have an S5 Verizon model that has the unlock-able boot-loader, S3 (new rooted and ROM'd the night I bought it from VZW), and my first phone was the Droid X. All of these have been rootable and custom roms have been available, I bought the S5 used, which still does great, but I need a bigger screen as I'm getting older and still don't own a tablet or e-reader which I'd like to be able to use the phone for.

MUST HAVES: ROOT and CUSTOM ROM's available including Lineage and a strong developer community

Doesn't have to have the fastest processor or GPU

Would like to have at least 3-6GB RAM for future proofing

At least a 6" screen preferably larger the bigger the better,unless it's that odd aspect ratio where they're tall and slim, I don't really think that would work but haven't held one.

A good size battery for long life

A replaceable battery if possible, although I reckon they're all replaceable if you know what you're doing but I'd prefer to not have to solder to replace it. Or very minimal soldering.

A MicroSD

Compatibility with other carriers like sprint at&t and t mobile in case these are available in the future, but this isn't as important as the previous things.

I dont want to spend a fortune, and if I could make payments through big red that'd be great, but if not, to get the best device, I'd hit up ebay or swappa, or a local used phone store where I scored my S5 at two years old for 140 bucks in almost excellent condition. If I can't make payments, I don't want to spend over 3-500 US dollars if possible, and if possible to get the dev support less than than. but I need a huge screen.

I'm thinking Samsung Note, Lg Stylus, Google Pixel 2, or a Moto. I miss the durable feeling and general durability of my old Dx , it was built like a tank and fell off my car at 55+mph in a curve on the way home with a cheap rubber case on it, and although I had to search and cut weeds beside the road for about 15 yards, after I found the pieces including the battery it fired right up, with only scratches on the corners... I know I was lucky but still damn that's a hard core hit.

Been looking at other suggestions, but wanted some opinions you guys were spot on the last time. I don't have time to keep up with the latest and greatest like I used to.. SO THANKS FOR ANY RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!

Hello everyone, I currently have a Xperia X (F5122) and want to change the device.

I would like a handset with a good main and selfie camera, biometric unlock, internal storage of 32gb or more, good construction and design, ease to use custom rom and good for social networking and navigation - I do not use cellphone for games.

After researching I became interested in the Huawei P20 lite, Galaxy s7 and LG g6.

Of which would be the best? Any other suggestions?

really really really digging that phones are being released on multiple carriers now, ending the fragmentation and i think in a few years carriers will be nothing more than a tiny sim card in your phone.

i know with GSM carriers like Viaerro around here, and ATT, you can pick up an unlocked phone from the manufacturer, and pop a sim card in, and you are good to do, how long before LTE/GSM phones can do the same?

the way verzon works, the sim card only works on their phones, which is a bummer because i thought the sim card meant you can use ANY PHONE on ANY CARRIER

Actually, my Galaxy S3 is nearly as smooth as my friend's Note 4.

For many tasks such as E-Mailing, even my friend's S7 is not much better than my S3. That's because it is just text editing.

The battery needed to be swapped once.

Yes, the S3 is not a recent phone, but it still works great.

And apps work on it, too.

In apps that do not work, older versions work fine. That's just software.

Indeed, true. Only if you seek to run some games you could say its bad. I am opting to buy Redmi 5 Plus cause my S4's SIM card reader died off and for some reason lost 3G connectivity beforehand which is quite important for someone who needs to thether his internet to the PC to get online using that.

Yeah but being nearly as smooth as a note 4 isnt saying alot these days.

I still have my s3 and note 4 both i bought on their respective launch days, both still function just fine but comparing them to my S9 plus or Pixel 2XL....well it isnt even close. Its like comparing a honda to a ferrari.

The S3 i use as an MP3 player in the gym but trying to do anything else with it is really painful because its just so slow.

My note 4 i actually try and use still once in awhile, its one of my all time favorite devices but same thing...its so sluggish compared to the newer devices i cant stand it for more than a day.

So, respectfully i must disagree. And this coming from an original owner of both and someone who spent a ton of time modding both on here and has a strong sentimental attachment to both devices

I do sure miss the removable batteries, its just so convenient!

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on getting 2 mobile phones, one for my brother and one for my mother. I've found two but am not sure if there is something better/cheaper available. I am also not 100% sure if these phones will work in the UK on the "Three" network.

Bare in mind their current phones are Nexus 4's so their phones are pretty old and

Mother:

She likes to browse websites, use facebook, browse youtube, listen to music via bluetooth earphones, take pictures on holiday... etc.

- Budget: £200~

- Screen Size: 5"+

- Camera: Decent

- Bluetooth: 4.2+

- Fingerprint Reader: Yes

- RAM: 2+GB

- Games: No

- Movies/TV Shows: No

- YouTube/Spotify: Yes

- Selfies: No

It would be nice if we could get one with waterpoofing, high corning glass protection, the ability to listen to FM radio without using the likes of tunein radio and more storage space (128GB+)

The phone I've found that's that's around the budget price is the Xiaomi Mi 5s, has decent screen size, good screen protection, good GPU, CPU and Chipset, decent storage (64GB), decent RAM (3GB), decent camera based on GSMArean's comparrisions, acceptable wifi, acceptable bluetooth, acceptable GPS, fast charging 3.0, probably more than good enough benchmarks for what my mother does with her phone and decent battery life. The cheapest I can get it in the UK is £199 for a 64GB version which is decent amount of storage, it would be nice if I could get one with 128GB storage.

Brother:

He likes to play games, watch tv shows/movies, read books, listen to music, send lots of texts, use as a sat nav... etc

- Budget: £350~

- Screen Size: 6"+

- Camera: Decent

- Bluetooth: 4.2+

- Fingerprint Reader: Yes

- RAM: 3+GB

- Games: Yes

- Movies/TV Shows: Yes

- YouTube/Spotify: Yes

- Selfies: Yes

It would be nice if we could get one with waterpoofing and high corning glass protection.

The phone I have found that is a little bit over budget is the Xiaomi Mi 8 which has a decent screen, good screen protection, top of the range GPU, CPU and Chipset, decent storage (64GB+), more than enough RAM: 6GB, very good cameras, top of the range GPS, latest Bluetooth, fast charging 4.0, decent benchmarks, decent battery life. Thee cheapest I can get it in the UK is for £370.49 for a 128GB version which is plenty of storage.

Questions:

- Do these phones work in the UK on our networks, specifically the "Three" network?

- Are there any real downsides to these phones? I've read that some of them (CN Versions?) do not have access to the play store but surely I can flash a new ROM onto the devices and install gapps to get around this?

- Can anyone suggest better phones / matching phones for cheaper?

Thanks in advance

Don't do it if you plan on rooting, unlocking, or enjoying any custom recovery, etc. I absolutely hate it. Really feel I screwed up purchasing S7. Didn't realize Samsung changed the way they implement security for the bootloader, making unlocking virtually impossible. Some amazing members of community actually managed to root it, but it runs like garbage if you intend to keep root for daily. Hence, I'm on this thread looking for new device options myself. Probably getting into og pixel, or xl version next. Hope this helps.

Curious to get your impressions of your Pixel 2 XL.? I see some development on the device, and I'm a big fan of pure Android. I still use my Nexus 6P and love the phone. 3 is right around the corner, but my goodness the price of flagship phones these days is getting ridiculous. I've not been one to have a need for the latest and greatest and usually lag behind on the purchase of top rated phones giving them a chance to drop in price.
[General Topics] force70:
I love it, amazing device except running out of storage on it only with 128gb. Thats how i ended up with the S9 plus also lol.

Had a 6p too but its nowhere near the device the pixel 2 xl is....light years between them.

That said the 6p had wayyyyyy more development than the 2 xl does, its lacking for sure unfortunately.

But with the pixel 3 coming i dont know if Id spring for last years model or not now this late in the game unless the 3 has an inotch in which case its pure crap lol.

I always go for the latest and greatest though so thats just my perspective.

Im looking to upgrade my HTC one M8. I've had my it for 4 years now, and it seems to be on its last legs. The battery is fairly bad now as the phone will get very warm, discharge quickly, take ages to charge sometimes and also turns off at 40%. I've tried calibration etc, but no change!

I was looking to upgrade and have found a pretty good cheap monthly deal on the Huawei P Smart, I just don't know if it will be an actual upgrade.

Looking at its specs it has more ram, a 64bit octo CPU clocked higher than the m8 and bigger battery.

One paper it looks like it should be better, but I'm unsure of the performance of the 2 chipsets. I really don't know benchmark info for phone hardware.

My HTC one m8 was a very expensive flagship when it came out, yet the huawei p smart not a flagship model and is much cheaper.

I guess my question is whether the Huawei P smart will be a performance upgrade from the HTC one m8?

Sure graphics performance isn't great, but its better than my m8. Plus I have just built a very powerful gaming system for that and don't play games on my phone.

My loyal companion: Galaxy S3.

I never ever had such hardware defects with my S3, surprisingly.

It just kept working.

Believe me, in 2013, I was jealous to Galaxy S4 users, but I expected the S5 to be a bigger hit. I actually wanted to upgrade, but needed to save money.

The S6 was different than expected. I thought about getting an S5 in 2016 still, but I was not sure that upgrading 2 years was enough, and my Galaxy S3 just did it's work.

In 2017, when my Galaxy S3 got 5 years old, I replaced the battery for the first time, and it lasted twice as long, but that 5 year old battery was expected by me to die off after two years.

Without a doubt, the Galaxy S3 did stay loyal to me, and just kept working.

I heard of other people having random deaths on their Galaxy S3, but I surprisingly had not.

I am glad that your S4 is mostly intact after 5 years. And it has many features that are unheard of today. See: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/features-removed-previous-generations-t3819970 .
