I would consider Huawei for it's stong battery lifetime.

I have had perfect experiences since the HERO with HTC, after that came the Desire HD until today with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Size is perfect. I use Jellytime R6 sind 20 Days now as my work and life phone. No problems with that. For NFC no need yet. So my next Phone will be some of HTC again with the new wave of products in Spring.

For which phone should I go Asus Zenfone 2 or Oneplus 2? Me a bit confused.
[General Topics] Juice3250:
I'm considering the:

Note 5

MXPE

Nexus 6p

Turbo 2

OnePlus 2 is the winner of that particular matchup, I think, but it does have heating issues; you'd have to decide for yourself if that's a problem.
[General Topics] mesologgi:
My brother has a Zenfone 2 z551ml with the 4 gigs of ram. The phone has a lot of chinese bloatware which you have to remove them by yourself. The screen is mediocre at best. Lots of jittering when scrolling. Camera is ok for the price. Battery is mediocre to good. Build quality not very good after 6 months.

I advice to stay away from that phone. It was good 1 year ago at that price point but now you can have better phones like OPO 2 you mentioned.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
Yeah, I would only suggest getting the ZF2 if a person is getting the $199 or $229 version. I find the screen to be decent, however, my sisters doesn't suffer from any screen jitter. Agree with the battery. This phone is dying to get a much need marshallow up date too.

Nexus 6P- has the purest experience and best custom ROM support.

Note 5- has the best display, camera, and performance

Moto X Pure Edition- has the best hardware customization, also has a pure experience and great custom rom support

Moto X Play- has best battery life

or a pure experience that has good custom support
[General Topics] Juice3250:
I'm aware of all of these phones strengths, I'm just having trouble deciding. The MXPE will save me the most money so naturally it's my top choice. But my fear with a pure android phone, I'll get bored with it and revert back to flashing custom roms to try and get some of the features of the Note. The Note 5 is the closest in value and performance as my 6 plus. Nothing can beat the camera software on it either. Maybe except the V10, but that phone is too big.

I try to think of one downside to the Note 5 compared to all the others, and I can't come up with one. But I also know what to expect, having already tried one out.

The 6p seems a little too big and too close in size as the 6 plus being uncomfortable to sit down with it in my front pocket. Having a phone with a big screen is both a blessing and a curse. I do prefer 5.5"-5.7".

If I can't find a Note 5 64gb for around $450-$475, then I'll just settle on the MXPE.
[General Topics] force70:
Since your stuck on verizon id go with whichever one has a bootloader which can be unlocked which is probably only the nexus.

I have a note 5 and a 6P and love both devices but if the bootloader was locked on my note 5 (which yours will be) id drop it in a heartbeat and it would be nexus all the way.

With a locked BL you pretty much have an expensive paperweight

I appreciate your opinion, but I really have no desire to flash custom roms anymore. At most I'd root and run xposed.

I will probably sit down and write out a list of each device's pros and cons based on what's important to me, as we all use our phones differently and some things are more important to us at different times in our lives.
[General Topics] Lorenz15:
I know Ubuntu because I had it for some time on my Virtual Machine on my Computer and I used it to build ROMs...but I use my phone to install apps like WhatsApp/Twitter/YouTube or some games, can you install this too on Ubuntu?

Moto X pure edition best hardware ? I have to disagree.

You said like all "top" companies offers bigger sh*t than Chinese which is totally incorrect. Sure some companies does mistakes like every company do. But I am talking about quality to price ratio, which top companies has the best. You probably dont see a difference between power and quality ratio. Specs on paper does not mean everything. My top mentioned companies does not offer **** just compared to Chinese phones, get it? I noticed only after that he mentioned huawei honor 5x. sorry I read too fast and he mentioned few Chinese phones which immediately made me think all his mentioned phones are cheap, worst quality, unpopular, bloatwared phones.

Never heard meizu and xiaomi being good companies, these are probably the the top in China including oneplus . OnePlus is a decent company for good custom rom support. Its a phone for developers going under nexuses.

I see no point saying you expanded version of my opinion. Not worth saying anything more if you think top Chinese > top world companies. If you think vica versa or its 50/50. Then why more discussing? that's what Im saying? have a good day.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
If that's the case then I think the Note 5 is the best option. Does the Note 5 have root already? The only cons I could think of was not being able to flash ROMs because of the exynos chipset, and no SD card (which isn't that important to many people anyway).

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm stuck on Verizon for the moment and my current phone is a rooted Note 3 but I fear the thing is on it's last leg.

My only 2 requirements are root/Xposed and a video recorder capable of 1080p60fps. The Nexus 6p and Moto X Style both failed the latter. I would like an unlocked bootloader and the ability to run Cynaogenmod 12.1/13, 3gb ram, 5.5+ inch screen but can live without pretty much everything except the root and camera.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, I'm pretty much pulling my hair out here. I may be able to move to Sprint soon which looks like I might have a lot more options but that's not definite either.

Well about 99% of phones these days are rootable. I am highly suggest you waiting February 21 for Mobile World Congress. A lot phones will be released like galaxy s7 and lg g5.

Hey all, I don't do well with intros and stuff, so I'll just get to it; currently using SGS3(i747/d2att) and am looking for something a little more reliable. Don't get me wrong, this phone works fine, but the battery is crap, and even that extreme battery life guide doesn't help me get much more than a few extra hours...so I'm in the market for a new phone. Currently looking at the Nexus 5, though I'm not sure about camera comparison between SGS3 and Nexus 5, and it does worry me a tad, along with hearing that the 5 has horrible battery life as well. Also considering the Honor 5x as $200 is my budget, so its almost perfect, aside from not knowing much more than the hype and the fact that its just a GX8 for cheaper. XDA support is a must, and I'd love for custom ROM capabilities. So, rundown, I'd like a $200 phone, preferably better performance and/or battery than my SGS3, if possible a better or equivalent camera, and ability to flash CM or any of these other lovely CM-based ROMs out there. Any suggestions? Am I too picky? Lol
[General Topics] s8freak:
Can't go wrong with either a used OnePlusOne or new OnePlusX I've owned the OPO and for the money you won't find a tougher built device with excellent specs and tons of Rom support.

OPX is a smaller version but has the Amoled screen dual sim capability and ex sd card slot.

$259 brand new shipped I have it and switch between my S6Edge Plus and it.

It's a killer device with growing development support.

Awesome, that's one I was considering too. A side question: What's the preferred screen type by the general public? I've only ever messed with AMOLED, so I've never personally seen the upsides/downsides to either, I just know that AMOLED has deeper blacks lol

Edit: also, thank you for the quick response!
[General Topics] s8freak:
The OPO has the LCD screen and actually it's very functional and I really had no complaints with it.

The Amoled does have a more dynamic look with deeper black.

Just personal preference is guess.

In the OPO threads there's a guy that posted a photo of when threw his OPO into the wall during a "difference of opinion" with his wife device has zero damage.

I had the 64g Sandstone black and the device felt fantastic in the hand.

OPX is smaller and has a sleeker feel

Damn. Sounds like a solid phone, I'll provly go with that, considering my clumsy self. I remember my friend doing that with his RAZR(the flip one, not the android...this was quite a while ago lol)and it hit the corner of his shelf, which acted like a knife and stuck into the screen, leaving his phone literally hanging there from his shelf. I've always taken that to heart as to remember Motorola's build quality lol I'm sure that's changed since then though.

From what I've seen most people prefer AMOLED over IPS. However, as s6freak it's a personal preference. You can get a new S5 for around $280 or used for $180. That device has good support and nice battery life.

What do you think about buying on eBay compared to swappa?

It seems there are more available on eBay than swappa and for cheaper. I just have to make sure that the phone has a clean esn.

Amoled:

+Deep blacks, black color does not light pixels.

+Does not require a lot of battery.

+View angles are very good.

- Time by time amoled screens gets burnins, nav bar and status bar gets burnt and when looking clear image, you will see burned pixels easily.

- If you light screen with lighter, amoled pixels turns in white and does not recover.

- Not that bright as LCD

- Whites does not show like whites, it has different colour tints (probably can be fixed with display color calibration apps)

LCD:

+Very accurate colors.

+Very bright in sunlight

+Good deep whites.

+When you burn screen with lighter, pixels turns into black. After stopping burning, pixels slowly recovers back and does not leave a sign of burn.

- View angles are not that good.

- Black color displayed pushes pixels anyways. (Pixels will work even if it shows black)

- Requires more battery.

This is probably all I know about these display differece. Don't forget that there are Amoled and Super Amoled displays, but by they namings, you really understand the difference.

If we, people, are here in XDA you should stop complaining about Samsung touchwizz on rootable & "custom ROM'able" phone. All smart people who faces problems with touchwizz stops everything by flashing custom, pure android. I still have galaxy ace 2 phone and its final version from Samsung is JB 4.1.2 . Terrible, right? but old device. And no, I am not sitting now with that old ROM . Instead, I am using 6.0 custom ROM and works very good as for old device. Kitkat>Marshmallow>Lollipop. This is how it is for my device. KitKat works the best for my phone. So just flash custom ROM, it is totally worth it.

Because it means developing . I can't believe that you said you prefer touchwiz lol. Nobody seen saying that. Touchwiz is stable but is heavy and not that fast as it could. CM is just based on pure stock android while touchwizz looks like other custom OS haha. Sure cm has some bugs. But you will not flash any cm ROM that will make phone unstable. It might have freezes/reboots. If you face that, post in forum or in developer PM and wait for answers :). First thing I do before flashing ROM, I check date when it was last updated. Newier = better always.

I've been around XDA quite some time I prefer what I prefer and I'm not alone. I want my device to work and not have to worry about the camera not working properly or GPS dropping constantly.

I KNOW it's a development site

I've done my share of flashing AOSP and AOKP roms on various devices I've owned.

I've also been chief tester and tech support for a couple well known devs on their projects and helped troubleshoot as chief tester for several theme projects.

I've helped literally thousands of members on many threads.

I'm not saying any of that to pat myself on the back I'm just saying I have my reasons for my preferences.

I'm with you on this one. I, too just want a phone that works relatively bug free. Also I'm tired of chasing speed and battery life numbers.

I see what you mean. Plus I believe are specific things that touchwiz does that CM 12 and CM 13 don't do.

[General Topics] Mydnytefantasy89:
This is exactly right. I'm kind of new to all this, but I feel like I do great research, especially when helpful people give me ideas I probably wouldn't have thought of. That said, I do know certain touchwiz features have been sought after from CM, and it all boils down to copyrights. Legally, CM can't touch Samsung's features or apps. They can write code to mimic the features, but porting them would be a breach of copyright laws. It's the same reason custom ROM developers can't include the Play Store or any other Google related apps; open source covers non-copyrighted code. Nowhere in the annual AOSP code release does it contain any lines of code pertaining to Google Play or it's services until they're installed as system apps, hence having to flash them after the ROM. Companies don't buy the operating systems for their phones, but they do have to buy the rights from Google for the Play Store and that functionality to be included in their operating systems out-of-box.

suggestion for choosing a smartphone

Hi guys, i urgently need to get a new phone and i would like to ask your advice. The only requirements that ask are:

- Support by the TWRP recovery (this is primary, imperative, essential !!!)

- Screen no more than 4.7 (or width in the range 64/67 mm)

- Notification light

- A price around 150 euro (also bit more or less it's ok)

- No Sony and/or MTK devices

Hey guys, been awhile sine i checked any updates on android phones at all, At the moment im rocking a Droid turbo on Verzion and honestly im digging it like i digged my moto x 2013, This thing is really not that bad, But i got screen burn in only a about four-five months into the phone which took my moto x 2013 At least a year before it got burn in's, im thinking about getting a nexus 5x, Would the 5x be an upgrade? im only looking for decent Performance, decent battery life and And clear display, Other smartphone carrirers have turned their flagships pretty ugly and the 5x or 6x are the only good looking devices in my opinion. The 5x is a year older than the droid turbo but are the specs different enough for the 5x to perform better than the turbo? in my opinion the 2k screen on the turbo destroys its performance and i get lags in the UI quite often, im missing my Moto x 2013! last question, Will the 5x get bad burn in problems like my moto x did?
