As always, we dream for something else and buy something else.... :D But I'm very much interested in the Samsung galaxy note 5. I was planning to visit the Flipkart Mobiles store. And Galaxy s6 isn't bad, too... the price range is a less compared to note !! o.O Have to think about it..

That really depends on your budget range. If your budget is around $300, then go for OnePlus One. If want to invest higher... then definitely Galaxy Note... !! Loved its features... Where as OnePlus has some really attractive features at least price. If you wanna buy online, then look at the ratings of OnePlus One, it has crossed more than 15k... trustworthy, isn't it?! :)

[General Topics] ibip:
Okay, please listen to me guys, as I have no idea which one to choose. So I can pick up any phone from the flagship list, and it will be my daily driver, and as for now I don't know if to choose the edge+ or the 6s plus. Actually I would gladly go with the M9, but its camera is nothing special (not bad, already), and the speakers are ****ty, I mean, maybe they have good quality, but no power at all (give a try to passport to know how the speakers should sound in a phone), and the sd810 is a bad idea I think to stick with for a year or two.

BUT, today it was my second time at the electronic store, going through all the ui and functions of each phone (e+ and 6s+). What's good about the edge+:

- manual camera mode, I need the ability of taking long exposure photos, to photograph the thunderstorms

- huge screen, 5,7" is perfect for everything

- multiwindow, and flash player as I like to watch sport streams of games not available in my country

- normal file system, drag and drop, and so on, you know

- I can connect it to the tv either via dlna, mhl or usb

- better loudspeaker than in iphone (I like to play music from my phone while having a bath, it's that important!)

- plays flac format natively

flaws:

- curved screen sucks, I'd rather have that from the note 5

- it isn't futureproof too much guys, look at s5 today, nothing special right?

- ram management

- the accesories' amount for this device is somewhere around zero

- its resale value will be much lower than the iphone's

- it will lag after a year as every android

iphone's pros:

- I like the look of it a little more

- it has TONS of accessories available

- better apps, I have some of them already bought in the appstore since I used to have an ipad (years ago though)

- everything is better optimized

- it's more futureproof, has better cpu and gpu, and its resale value will be much higher

- more storage, because my carrier only offers the 32 gb version of e+

cons:

- I have to have an apple tv device to connect it to the tv

- no flash, maybe curable with a puffin browser

- no file system, is it even possible to download anything and open it later on ios aside of pictures? i.e. documents, pdfs, music

- no manual camera mode, arrrgh

- mono sound in videos

And now we come to the biggest flaw I've encountered in both devices: the audio output. Seriously Samsung and Apple, that's what you call a sound worthy around 1k bucks? I'm using now my old Nokia 808, after my Passport got damaged, it sounds better than the edge+, and is louder than 6s plus. The sound from edge+ is muffled, not too loud, only a bit louder than in iphone, the bass is overwhelming, while the iphone sounds quite nice, but it can't drive cups DEDICATED to it, the AKG K545. I'd buy the passport once again, but its audio output was silent as hell too, and the camera was mediocre (it made great photos in night scenes if you knew how to, though). The M9 has an amazing audio department, but the rest of the phone is just as mediocre as Passport's camera. And it bends like an empty can.

Now, what to do?

hello there good people ,

As the subject suggested , I'm looking for a simple remote for my smart home (z-wave : vera controller) .

This tablet will be wall mounted most of the time and will be taken to living room when needed.

I don't need a good quality screen , I don't need cellular data , I don't need BT , I don't even need camera (I think they all have it) .

just need simple android (preferably kitkat and up) Wifi enabled cheap tablet.

micro USB charging will make a good advantage so it will be fairly easy to find a matching white charger.

I think budget should be ~$60-70 USD .

I also need the links to be from eBay / DX / aliexpress.

I think this 11/11 sale will produce a good buying opportunity.

Thanks very much for your help.

[General Topics] Stevethegreat:
I can't say that I agree or disagree with the rest, but this particular comment caught my attention.

The particular difference between S5 and S6 (series?) is that S5 was not *designed* to be future-proof. Just look at their promotion material ("we're not going to focus on hardware this time around", etc).

Obviously it failed as that was (and still is) Samsung's strong point, raw hardware. So -yeah- it tells me nothing that S5 did not stand the test of time well. My 2 years old Galaxy Note tablet, became a new device just by installing Samsung's android 5.1.1, a testament of how important hardware is on androids.

So -yeah- on account of the 4GB of RAM and its (present) bad RAM management I *expect* S6 Edge+ to become better with time (like Note 3 did), not worse. The same cannot be said about iphones, they progressively get worse with successive iOS releases...

Which phone would you choose?

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out which phone to get:

- Samsung S6 (not the edge)

- Sony Xperia Z5

Both are great phones but both of them have annoyances that seem to bug me. No choice but to choose either one.

Samsung s6

> the home button

> AMOLED burn-in (this would really annoy me since i need to use the GPS a lot)

Xperia

> Camera could be a bad. Some users seems to have the blur ring effect

Anyways, what would the community choose?

Many Thanks

I don't know dude. I have a chance to swap my z3 for an OPO tommorow. I''ve looked up those problems you mentioned, and i don't think it's a big deal if it doesn't affect the phone's performance. My z3 on the other hand has:

-Changed flat buttons cable

-changed camera

-not original back cover glue so not waterproof

-yellow spot on screen (look up on google- it's basically a burned screen due to charging port, REALLY UGLY)

-carrier locked bootloader- no custom ROMs or kernels whatsoever.

Doesnt even have warriannty. From my perspective, i think i'm doing a great deal of changing my z3 wich truly is already torn down and has burned screen for a OPO wich is in great condition. And wich is a great plus, OPO has a HUGE ROM support, and i couldn't even put CM on my z3. And that has never happened since now. Please, if someone could advise me some more till tommorow, i would be pretty thankful, i'm kinda torn apart..

[General Topics] NOSTALGIA:
its still your choice.. i love the large developer support for the one.. i never had any regrets since i had it.. fortunately its just with my sister. so basically i can still continue flashing roms or modifying the device.

on your z3, well, if you think its ugly now, then maybe you wanna scrutinize that opo that is going to be traded on your z3 more.. think of it first.. and compare and see the difference.. youll not regret the oneplus one as long as its on its good running condition without major issues or whatsoever..

i love my oneplus.. i bought it for my bday last year.. and it served me good for a year and few days...

You'll not regret the OPO for the money it's one of the best devices around bar none. The Sandstone black 64g has a fantastic feel in the hands. I had absolutely zero glitches or problems at all and the Rom/development support is about as good as any device gets.

Hey, I would love to have some recommendation.

I've been thinking of grabbing a new phone lately, the one I'm using now is the uncontested Nokia-The Brick, after my old Samsung Ace 2 broke down. Mid-range price, $400 is my budget. However, this is also where my dilemma starts.

I'd love to use a Window phone. The OS itself is gorgeous, and the ability to sync it with my laptop is great for work. However, nothing in Lumia line that is under $400 seems to be remotely as good as Nexus 5, which totally would be what I pick up had I use android. I'm also a little torn about using Window phone, as the game I'm playing on my tablet is not available on there and I would love -not- to have to bring my tablet out every time the mood strikes.

What should I do? Should I just grab the nearest Lumia 730 and be done with it?
[General Topics] Planterz:
If you're in the States, Best Buy will have the Lumia 640 for a mere $30 on Black Friday. It's AT&T locked, but you can get an unlock code off eBay for $2. It's a budget phone, but specs are enough to run WP just fine (just don't expect to play HALO on it). If it's available online, I'm probably going to snag one, just to play around with it, as it's a cheap way to experiment with a new OS.

[General Topics] Jamie bell:
I'd say moto x style, because if you're not gonna root it, you can still be individual by customising it in moto maker. The ROM is stock android, so you shouldn't feel the need to root (the most common reason for rooting is to get rid of bloatware). It has a micro SD card and a 64gb option so storage should be a breeze. It is a physically strong phone and you are unlikely to drop it as it has a textured back (unless u get wood) and is a thick phone (11mm cos it is curved). The big screen and speakers make it great for media consumption, and it is probably just as easy to navigate as an iPhone. The best part is it is way cheaper than the iPhone even in its 64gb variant, whereas the 128gb iPhone 6s is nearly £1000. The only thing you'd been missing out on is 3d touch but its not that useful (yet) so its not a problem. The style may not be the most powerful android phone, but a slightly slower processor doesn't impact on fluidity and I saves you battery which is great on this phone.

Even if you don't want a moto x style, please stay android as Apple will dumb you down and make you spend lots of money just for the premium name... IPhone are simple and that's good for some, but you should keep your individuality with android

I'm wondering, should I sell my four month old HTC One m9, for a nexus 6p. I like my M9 and I'm running CyanogenMod 12.1 on it, but the camera isn't great, it has overheating issues, the battery is bad and the speakers are worse than the 6ps. The 6p also has android 6 and will receive updates really quickly, whereas cyanogenmod 13 is really early and I think that I will to wait ages for a stable version to appear for the M9.

All feedback is really appreciated.
