What do you think it's better? Quite important fotos and battery.

Thank you in advance!! :)

Hello,

I've used a Samsung Galaxy S5, so far, and was pretty happy with it.

Unfortunately the screen starts to die. The lower quarter of the screen starts to flicker sometimes and I think it's just a matter of time until this gets even worse.

I'll keep using the S5 via MHL to watch Netflix on hotel TVs but for my daily use I would like to get something more modern.

A new phone would absolutely have to have:

Price below let's say 400 Euros.

Headphone jack!!!

Screen of about the size of the S5 screen or slightly bigger

At least full-hd resolution

Widevine support for up to Full-HD (1080p)

Good Lineage OS support. I would like to use the stock roms as long as I get updates and switch afterwards.

No silly "notch" at the top of the screen. I've never seen a good Android implementation for this, so far.

Good screen quality. I'll use the phone to watch movies a lot! Either OLED or a good quality LCD.

Has to be available in Europe.
[General Questions and Answers] phaleg:
I would go with Redmi Note 7 or with Lenovo…

The others will have less support on XDA and among the 2, Xiaomi are becoming ROM-phones, you can have a look on this website.

Android one Device

Hello,

My previous 2 devices were the Moto G and the Mi A1. My Mi A1 is affected by the ssusb wakelock and the battery life has deteriorated quite a bit. Looking for a snappy Android one device with importance on snappy performance. My budget is around 200-250$. I don't trust Xiaomi, the Mi A1 is a good device but had problems like screen retention and also the battery problem. There doesn't seem to be any quality control in Xiaomi devices . I'm looking to buy a Nokia phone. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Nokia 8 might also be out of your budget. Nokia 7.1 plus is a good option.

:)Hello

I'm an European (Portugal) and i want to buy a new cellphone.

My budget is 250€ max and

I will buy online but inside europe (amazon, european warehouses of geekbuyng, or similar.) reasons: customs and 2 year warranty.

I now have a Samsung S4.

I prefer a big screen (6 and above), the best possible cameras (i take a lot of photos) and a decent battery.

Said that right now i prefer the Redmi Note 7 (i think the pro version will not be launch in europe).

But reading reviews isn't helping. Can you please give me your opinion.

And what do you think about umidigi z2 pro, umidigi F1 play or Honor 8X?
[General Questions and Answers] SpawnX1200:
Hi folks I just shattered the screen of my Redmi Note 3 SD version (RN3). I had this phone since early 2016 and though it's still working and I could prolly do a service job on it for $50 and extend its life to a year or so. Development under XDA imho has already reached its peak a while ago. Sticking to this phone any further wouldn't be to my advantage.

So I'm in the market for a new phone and I would really love to hear your precious advise so I may get the best available option for my hard earned bucks.

My budget is around $350. I'm not a brand fan boi, I don't mind going for unknown brands if the build quality is there. B/C with a good build quality you can get the best out of your phone under XDA. So when I go for a smartphone the features I pay attention to are:

1-If the phone can handle recent games. If a phone can handle recent games odds are high that it will perform well in everyday life.

2-It must have a great community under XDA so that if the manufacturers aren't arsed to push updates, you can still get the best out of your phone by for e.g flashing a custom rom or the Google cam or flash the latest security patch and so on.

3-The camera specs should be good (not expecting pixel3 stuffs or p30 results), but should be able to take good shots when I go on road trips.

Having said that, phones that have caught my eye so far are the Huawei Y9(2019 version) and the Xiaomi Poco Phone F1. So what do you lads think!
[General Questions and Answers] juanq214:
Pocophone would be a great update coming from RN3. It features great specs in every department. And for its price is a bargain. Also development in Xda is one of the most popular devices there, therefore there are many roms, kernels, modes, etc to pick from.
[General Questions and Answers] SpawnX1200:
Thought pretty much the same. Do you feel the camera is better on Huawei though?!

Samsung S7 battery

Hi All

I have Samsung J1 2016. Time to buy something more quick and nice. I wanted to buy a fresh flagman, but Google disabled call recording in Pie.

So I decided to buy Samsung S7 (it seems it was updated to Oreo and will not updated to Pie)

Old flagman is fine for me, and it is better then my old J1, I believe.

I found new (unpacked) Samsung S7 in a store - but question: what about its battery? The phone was gathering dust on the shelf, and the battery possibly degraded.

Is it worth buying? Will there be problems with replacing the battery? Will I be able to safely use it 2-3 years?

What do you think about it, folks?

There are many features that used to be quite common on phones, unfortunately they stopped adding them in later revisions.

an SD card slot

nfc (which I don't know why phones don't have.)

4 gb minimum ram

3.5mm audio jack

a known root exploit preferably

be able to use GSM radio type.

Hello! which of these phones should I buy? umidigi z2 pro, umidigi F1 play, xiaomi redmi note 7 or Honor 8X?
[General Questions and Answers] Kam0laZ:
Greetings.

I'm looking for suggestions about which phone to replace my busted HTC 10.

Some background about an otherwise perfectly fine phone:

I bought it online from overseas, because it was cheaper than buying it here, the catch was "one year warranty if you send it back overseas to us at your expense" kind of deal. So, yea, no warranty.

The phone itself was brand new (or so it seemed, sealed package with everything HTC banded original, with working OTA - did the Nougat to Oreo OTA update in my hands).

It has run fine for all this time, on stock ROM and kernel, but some 2 or 3 months ago, it suddenly caught the wakelocks.

It's draining something like 3%+ battery per hour, when idle, and no custom ROM/Kernel, no amount of factory resets, can fix it.

Asked/searched around the web, provided GSam and Amplify screenshots, posts got abandoned/ignored.

Currently on latest version of LeeDroid (custom ROM, as last ditch attempt to fix the issue). In 24 hours of idle time, it drained the battery from 70% down to 1%. Bluetooth on, WiFi off, NFC off, Mobile data off, Location on battery saving mode.

I guess that it's time to shelf this boy and get a new one, much to my disappointment (and my wallet's pain) ...

What I'm looking for in a new phone:

Obviously, I'm not interested in a downgrade. So, here's what the new device should have/be able to do:

Mandatory:

- Rootable/Customizable (

MUST BE ROOTABLE, AT THE VERY LEAST, VERY IMPORTANT

);

- SIM Unlocked;

- Europe/International version;

- Qualcomm SnapDragon 820 OR equivalent OR better (caveat - I've read bad stuff about Mediatek, I don't know much about SoC);

- 3000mAh battery OR better;

- MicroSD slot;

- At least 4GB RAM;

- At least 16GB internal storage (my HTC 10 has 32GB which is more than enough for my needs);

- At least 5,2'' screen size, preferably NOT AMOLED, with decent resolution (love the quality on my HTC 10);

- Gaming performance/quality similar to the HTC 10.

Nice to have/do:

- Type-C USB slot - bought a bunch of cables and adapters for the HTC 10, would like to keep using them;

- Stereo speakers - HTC 10 has it, good immersion for gaming and playing music/videos;

- 3,5mm audio jack - mainly to plug into the car audio, which does not have wireless connectivity.

Budget: Ideally around 300 euros or below, absolute maximum 600 euros (oof ouch my wallet hurts make it stop).

Thank you very much for your suggestions, in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Kam0laZ:
Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Where I live, the options available are very limited. Flagships readily available are only from Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi; any kind of HTC phone or other exotic brands (except cheap chinas like Ulephone, Elephone, Wiko and the like) have nearly no presence.

When I bought my HTC 10, in the summer of 2017, the cheapest HTC 10 available in my country cost about 450 euros, and only one online shop had it for sale. I ended up ordering it from overseas, which cost me 380 euros with customs taxes. Currently, only another online shop has it for sale in borders, but now it costs over 550 euros ... A raise of 100 euros in two years, for a 2016 flagship??? The price should go down, not up!!!

About the Sony, I've had a Xperia M4 Aqua, the 8GB version. It was terrible, the stock OS alone took 7GB, had to install a custom ROM to remove some bloat, and even so it only ended up with about 2GB of free space. I was pretty much forced to install any app in the sd card, and even so the installation would take chunks of internal storage. When under 1GB of free space, it became unbearably laggy. I've been weary of Sony devices ever since. Also, as far as Sony phones go, over here, anything that isn't a Xperia is very hard to come by.

Surprisingly, I can find both Razer phones in here. Prices are over the roof, with the Razer 1 costing over 700 euros and the Razer 2 costing over 800 euros. But, I've found a few less known online shops, in borders, that sell them for less. A deal until the end of next week for the Razer 1, costs 350 euros (otherwise it was 500 euros), and another shop sells the Razer 2 for 500 euros. I wanted to wait until about August or something, before commiting, but these deals ... I'm still holding to the hope of, somehow, being able to fix my HTC 10, but I may be wasting time and effort on a dying phone ...
