What's next

Hello,

I've used my HTC One M7 for about 3 years, but it is DONE already. Support definitely (offcial Cyanogen stops at 13, no mor updates on cyan delata...) And hardware side .. slowly falling apart.

I've quick browse 8 pages back on this thread and I spot HTC One M10 is in spot or Nexus 6P? What would you recommend or what else?

I guess my way would be M10 now, because I desired more memory and M10 offers SD card slot. But I know it will be hell to repair :p... Nexus is just build to be repaired ;) if... And I expect 6P to have better/longer support.

Or, not part of this thread - sorry,.. but what wold you recommend as temp. solution for my M7- which safe ROM and possibly up-to-date solution? It worries me that there is no future updates cause security...

Seriously why would anyone even consider another phone if you're ok spending the 400 or 350 even on a one plus 3 or 3t. 6 gb of RAM? Ridiculous battery life ? Yes please.

Hi. I am trying to decide between the Moto G5 Plus 4gb ram and Huawei Honor 8. On one hand the H5 plus seems to have better battery life but I have no idea by how much. The camera seems to be better on the Honor 8. Can anyone help? Thanks.

OnePlus 5

I highly recommend the OnePlus 5. The performance is very smooth, the battery life is long lasting and it cannot be beaten for the price!!
[General Topics] Infinite1212:
That's not realistic for me. I have a rather small budget.
[General Topics] force70:
Thats about the least expensive of any phone with its specs...id suggest saving up longer so you can buy something like it instead of going with some crappy midrange device where you wont get that level of performance.

[General Topics] zedexdriver98:
That's unfortunate! Have you considered the Moto G range?? My brother has a Moto G4 and that's served him very well, great specs for a low price.
[General Topics] Infinite1212:
I don't necessarily care that much about performance. I don't play games on mobile devices. As long as the device is fast and snappy and not outdated, I am fine. They both actually had very solid reviews, and recommended as top phones to get on a budget. Flagships cost a little too much for my taste, and very often have average battery life or worse (and jelly scrolling and no microsd support doesn't really appeal to me).
[General Topics] zelendel:
See that is the problem. Any device is the real low budget range will be outdated very fast if not from the start. (heck most low budget devices still come with 5.0) and they will start to lag fast. Android gets slower the more you fill up the internal storage. As most low end devices come with 8gb of storage with the OS taking 2. You have maybe 2gb of space before either starts to lag.

I would look at the second hand market. You can get a good device for decent pricing. That is how I got my nexus 6, LG g2, HTC m7, and my currant 1+3. All great devices and they worked out well.
[General Topics] BadUsername:
I think it all depends what you're looking for, but if you're going to go mid range I kind of agree. Don't look for it to last more than a year.

Still think your best deals out there are old flagships. Oneplus 3 or 3T, HTC 10, Samsung S7, LG v20 or g5. All those will give you great bang for your buck.

If you still want to go mid range, the Moto G series or ZTE is good enough, but I wouldn't go lower unless you absolutely have to

Hi guys. I am using the galaxy s3 for 5 years! Anyways, all of its ressources are exhausted and it doesnt fit anymore as you can imagine. So I am searching for a new phone that will last at least as long as my s3. I want to use it with LineageOS so I think there is no way I would choose a device with an Exynos/HiSilicon/Mediatek Chipset. The Oneplus 5 disappointed me, I think its immature and not worth the price. I need Dual-SIM and enough space for my ~50gb music...(I think 128gb or 64gb internal + expandable should do) I got keen on the Essential PH-1 but lets see what it can provide. I dont know what the limiting factor is. I believe 4gb RAM should do, what do you think? I need it in very near future because the powerbutton of my s3 broke last weak and it wont boot neither into system nor into bootloader/recovery and keeps bootlooping... but I can handle it for ~3 weeks without phone.
[General Topics] BadUsername:
Getting an S3 to last 5 years is really impressive, basically throw a search on phones with expandable memory and go from there, a dev friendly phone will give you lots of options for a while. You'll make any phone last a long time the way you're running it

HTC 10 is good, not sure how much longer development will be strong for.

The U11 would also be good, not with the money in my opinion.

OnePlus 3 or 3T are probably your best bang for your buck, they will be developer friendly for a while, at least from an AOSP perspective. But you'd be sacrificing expandable memory.

Unsure about other devices, some Samsung Snapdragon variants may be more developer friendly than others, worth taking a look at as well.

You may try Xiaomi Mi Max (128gb,64gb). It`s a Dual-Sim phone.

Screen size is 6.44" and battery is 4850mAh.

Rare Camera - 16MP and Front Camera - 8MP.

Just google it and you`ll find details and review of this phone.

I`m using this phone and it`s really good.

It`s really a Multimedia - beast (as you required).

And also has got a good XDA support (though not as good as OnePlus or Pixel series).

Here you`ll find all this things you required about XDA support.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max

There are two variants -

Hydrogen = 2GB and 16GB, 3GB and 32GB (Snapdragon 650)

Helium= 3GB and 64 GB, 4GB and 128 GB (Snapdragon 652)

Hope it`ll help you.

N.B - for your information, "Unlocking Bootloader" is a little bit pain. Coz you`ve to take permission from Xiaomi to do this and wait for sometimes. Otherwise no issue ( as an user I really don`t have any issue).

What about the Snapdragon 6xx series? How are those chips compared to the 8xx series? Unfortunately the Xiaomi Mi Mix doesnt support LTE band 20... For the countries I live in it is a prerequisite
[General Topics] Micheal86:
MI max doesn`t support LTE band 20 in my country also.

It supports :

2G Network TechnologyGSM - 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

3G Network TechnologyWCDMA - 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz

4G Network TechnologyLTE (TDD) - Band 38/39/40/41, LTE (FDD) - Band 1/3/5/7/8

So, if if you want LTE band 20 support, then Mi max can`t fulfill your criteria.

And sorry for the info.

And for your querries regarding sd 6** series and sd 8** series, you may find it here more clearly :

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-800-vs-Qualcomm-Snapdragon-600

I think HTC U11 Dual is a good choice. Sorry I don`t have idea regarding Dev support of this device.

You may search in XDA.

Helloo guys should i Buy a redmi note 4 or wait to see how lenovo k8 will perform
[General Topics] NoNameIdea:
The K8 has a MediaTek chipset so it wont perform very well! No updates, bad camera!
[General Topics] Micheal86:
Redmi Note 4 - This is a good choice.This brand is well- known in India and one of the highest selling brand.Some models of this brand are very popular - and one of the most popular model is Redmi Note 4 (specially 4gb + 64gb model).Personally I know some ppl, who are using this model for long time and they have no complain about it. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 runs with Android 6.0 and is powered by a 4100mAh non removable battery and it`s a Dual - Sim phone.. It has Rear camera(13MP with flash) and front camera(5MP).It has Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 (2GHz octa-core), which has a good feedback.

It`s a device with Solid build quality, Great battery performance, Decent cameras. But at the same time, it`s got some disadvantages also - such as Hybrid SIM slot, too much software bloat.

Lenovo K8 Note - It`s an upcoming device(hopefully sell starts on 25th of August -2017, pls correct me if I`m wrong). So it`s bit difficult to say something (in advance) about this device. But after getting some info of it`s design, features, build quality (as leaked in internet), it may be a good device. But it has to prove it`s quality by itself and time will say.You can google for it. There are tons of info regarding this device.

As far as I know,it is powered by a deca-core MediaTek Helio X23 (MT6797), and not SD. It has 2 variants -

3GB RAM /32GB of storage

4GB RAM /64GB of storage.

According to lenovo - it has got a dual camera feature (like Iphone 7 Plus and first time in any lenovo devices). There's a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor and 13-megapixel sensor at the front with its own LED flash.There's a 4000mAh non-removable battery, and support rapid charging. 4G with VoLTE (voice over LTE),Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and Bluetooth 4.1.

Here is the total story and hope you can deceide what you`'ll do.

But I would go for Redmi Note 4 (if I need a phone urgently). Coz Lenovo K8 Note has no real-life review yet.And if you hoven`t any urgency regarding phone, then you can wait and watch.

Hope this will help you.

Getting frustrated

Maybe I'm over looking something... I can't seem to find the phone or tablet I'm looking for...

I need US LTE bands, a decent processor some video and some games, a screen that's 7" - 8", pure android or rootability. Phone functionality is actually not that important to me, a wired or bluetooth headset will do.

I thought the Galaxy Tab S2 was my answer, but Sprint isn't carrying it anymore. I was even told today by Sprint that it doesn't have a cellular radio.

Is this really unobtainium?! What am I missing?

Any advice?
[General Topics] Garacaius:
Howdy folks, looking for recommendations.

I've currently got a OnePlus One that I'm looking to get rid of primarily because of poor service in my area. My issue is that when I bought the OPO I didn't realize that the provider I was going to be taking it to (MetroPCS) only operates on 2/4/12, and the OPO can only use the 4 band. This has lead to a multitude of times where I had little to no service while my GF's ZTE ZMax Pro was doing great (because it uses all three bands). I was considering the Priv because a friend of my has it and I really like the slide keyboard idea, but I know that it's a polarizing phone here on the boards because it can't be rooted. Root access to a device is not a huge sale killer for me, although I do like the extensive customization options that Cyanogen has given me on my OPO and would be willing to consider flashing Lineage on whatever device I ultimately end up getting. I'll probably end up getting a used device whatever people recommend and I'm looking to be in the ~$250 range (used) if possible. Any and all opinions are welcome, I'm an IT guy but I'm not super deep in phone culture so that's why I'm turning to you all.

I'm looking for a new phone, on a budget. I can go upto $200, or maybe even more, but I'd rather not. ATM, I'm looking at the Redmi 4(X) from India. It's extremely cheap for what you get and still has a really big battery. My biggest concerns are battery and root support(ROMs, tweaks, etc.). The Redmi 4 doesn't have too much of root support I think, but are there any other phones around the same price range that are decent? I don't need insane performance(if I do get the Redmi 4, and can, I'll probably downclock the cores a bit), just enough for a little more than basic use(browsing, chatting, etc.). I'm somewhat considering a Galaxy S5.

Hi guys – after my Backup LG G3 died,

I need a replacement for my Backup Phone.

Important for me is:

SAR not to high

Changeable Battery would be great

Micro sd support

Hello there,

I am as well looking for a new phone.

I used 3 Sony Xperia Z3 Compacts in 2 years, because 2 didn't suffice the ear-plug-cinch-thingy. I am selling the 3rd right now.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 T-Mobile SGH-M919.

I want a replaceable battery (S4) in combination with a long time-span of the battery, while using the phone and quick recharging (Z3 Compact).

When I use the S4... sometimes I go to sleep and listen to a playlist for like 2 hours on YouTube. I see the battery percentage to go from 100% to 50% in these 2 hours.

With the Z3 Compact it would be from 100% to 90%.

Is that because of the android version and energy-management?

Wikipedia says to the Z3 compact:"Battery	non-user removable Li-ion 2600 mAh"

And to the S4:"2600 mAh Li-ion User replaceable"

So it must have somewhat the same amount.

But it takes like 2 hours to fill up the battery for the Z3 Compact and it takes the S4 like 4 or 5 hours to get somewhat to the same level.

tl;dr:

I need a phone with a replaceable battery, it should last long and it should load up quite quick. Is the Android version dependent on it or a certain flashed ROM?

S4 is outdated tech.(I have one/dual drive with another phone) If you want a good phone with a R battery try the V20 I believe. It is pretty amazing.

Hello,

As the title suggests, I am looking to upgrade on my Nexus 5 which has served me brilliantly over what seems like forever.

I moved from a Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5 and like the lack of bloatwear, so any other phone would need to be rootable (preferably not too difficult, as I'm not a tech genius!)

I would like to just modernise and the Nexus 5x doesn't seem like a significant enough step up, keeping almost the same processing power as Nexus 5 it seems to me...

I would like:

- a screensize around 5"

- a better/bigger battery

- a better camera

- better processing speeds

- a Nexus 5 like deal in terms of bang for buck - admittedly, this may be asking a lot - don't mind getting 2nd hand

- budget around 200-250€ max ideally (ie I don't need cutting edge, just to upgrade to something that is not too far off the pace)

Would be nice:

- fingerprint unlock

- the new charger plug that works both ways around

I have looked at a few but not been fully convinced, including:

- Moto G5 plus

- Xiaomi Mi5

- LG G5

- OneTouch (no nothing about these)

- Honour (no nothing about these)

- Had a great HTC Desire back in the day, and really loved it, but have been away for them for some time

- Samsung S6 (although, not overly keen on Samsung, but maybe I am wrong here...)

I have been focusing in now on the Lenovo zuk z2, which seems to reply to all of the above needs...

I've just been with Nexus so long, and been so satisfied that I haven't been around smartphones and evolutions for so long that I'm a bit lost now

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I agree for about 100% with your opinion, I am unhappy with actual phones - so I suggest to buy an cheap phone as a transitional solution and wait a while.

Maybe some alternative manufacturers like shiftphones, oneplus or fairphone will deliver an alternative with decent hardware, and eventually a changable battery..
