Hi guys, I'm looking for a new Android tablet (10") with a 64 bit OS installed.

Sadly there is very few information available which devices are actually shipped with a 64-bit OS and not only a

x64 CPU running a 32-bit OS. I would appreciate any advice you can give.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
may I ask, why do you need a 64 bit android tablet?

as for your answer, the Samsung Tab s6 is running on a 64 bit os.

[General Questions and Answers] xenomorph222:
It's a bit silly but I need it to play Mario Kart Tour. The last update only supports 64-bit Android. Does the Tab S6 Lite also run 64-bit OS (more in my price range)?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
and so far you ve played on what tablet? see if you can change the custom rom to a 64 bit one. that might fix your issue cheaper than buying another tablet
[General Questions and Answers] xenomorph222:
I'm currently using a Tab A (SM-T590) but I have no experience installing custom roms.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
the tab s6 lite runs 32 bit.
[General Questions and Answers] xenomorph222:
I'm currently using a Tab A (SM-T590) but I have no experience installing custom roms.

Are there any other tablets that run 64-bit OS?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
the tab s6 launched 2 in 2019, you might be able to buy it at second hand prices. essentially, any 32 bit tablet is limited to 4gb of ram. so, any tablet that runs 6 or higher is running on a 64 bit os. most tablets with 6 gigs of ram or higher used to be flagships.

Pixel for CalyxOS - concern about updates.

Hey, I am kind of person that does not like spending loads of money on the phone and I like to keep them untill they break. For example I bought Nexus 4 twice because my screen broke but it lasted years, i bought Redmi Note 4 about 4 years ago, installed LineageOS and the only reason I want to change is again because of screen that broke. Screen failing was entirely my fault and that's not my concern.

The only concern I have is in regards of updates and I realised that every phone I bought was either already out of support or were on the edge and that didn't bother me. Is that an issue?

Both pixel 3 and pixel 4 are nearing the end of support. I was thinking that even though the price is above what I was used to spend on the phone before, the google pixel offers me possibility to flash calyxOS that I am really interested in.

I want to hear your thoughts If i should care more about support and If pixel 4 has more value than pixel 3 when both of them are out of support.

Installing app outside playstore is not a problem for me.and i know how to use google apps oh huawei device. So should I buy this phone instead of buying nord 2 for using atleast next 3 years.
[General Questions and Answers] SamuelAt:
Hi

I hope this is not a trivial question as I really need some advice in this regard and thank you in advance for your response. I also realize I am on my own and take full responsibility for the outcome. That said; I want a hand set that i can root and flash and build the OS on a Linux box myself. I have done that before for a Samsung Note so I know what I am doing. I am just concerned with running into a specially difficult handset that is locked like Samsung S7 model with Qualcomm chip. I want the phone to support NFC and be supported in the U.S. by at least one carrier. Does not matter who really. I also don't want to pay more than $300 USD. i saw some Galaxy s9 and s9plus that I like. But I am open to other suggestions. Can you suggest any please? I greatly appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] adamnav:
Please suggest I also have same Question what phone should I buy?
[General Questions and Answers] matt2k12:
Ok I'll bite.

I've been a member here for many years maybe a decade or more.

Apparently the Note8 is at EOL not because of hardware limitations but because of software and lack of dev community.

So I'm needing a new phone and privacy is of utmost importance. I run several businesses and would like to maintain their autonomy and my privacy throughout the daily process of customer communication, business promotion, business transaction, and personal life.

I've never really been that guy that buys brand new flagships every 6 months because frankly I break phones a lot and frankly I don't need the latest hardware for what I'm doing on a day to day basis.

That being said....

I need something newish and I would like something I can buy unlocked then root and/or flash a non-bloat non-spyware extremely stable and proven rom maybe with a built in VPN or something... Like I said my privacy is of utmost importance at this point in my life, not for nefarious reasons but simply because it's obvious we can no longer trust anyone with our data including cell carriers and ISPs, not to mention Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

I understand that 100% anonymity will never be attainable.

What I would really like is a recommendation of an Android phone (preferably in the note series) that is easily moddable with high privacy software and still powerful enough to do some basic AV editing functions for my business promotion and personal life (4 kids).

Thank y'all for reading and I look forward to any responses. 👌🏿✅💯
[General Questions and Answers] ramandeepsingh01:
What would be your budget? In mid-range segment, I find Motorola Edge 20 Fusion really good with the Dimensity 800U processor. You can go for it.
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Hello all,

My wife's phone just found its way into a lake. We barely got the photos off, but clearly that makes it time for a new phone!

Our needs are simple, here is what I'm looking for:

Works with LineageOS or another reasonably well supported ROM

Working VoLTE support (for AT&T's 3G shutdown) in the ROM from #1

Carrier Unlocked (or unlockable)

root (of course!)

Reasonable camera

Ideas?

Thanks for your help!

what about iphone 13 pro?
[General Questions and Answers] markbnj:
FYI, I've had 10 inch (as well as 7 inch) tablets for at least 6 years. 7 inch is REALLY great if you don't do writing.

my bluetooth keyboard is cramped layout wise.

the 10 incher I had was fantabulous for typing.

And both of them were fine for UPDATING word or excel files.

cheers
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Not sure if you were replying to me... If you were, can the iphone 13 be rom'ed with android??
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Ha! Apparently it is possible to ROM an iPhone with android, but the support is pretty poor: https://thehackernews.com/2020/03/install-android-on-iphone.html

Anyway, anyone know what phone would run LineageOS and support VoLTE?
[General Questions and Answers] ramandeepsingh01:
What would be your budget? And do you prefer any specific chipsets like Mediatek or Snapdragon? There are some good Samsung devices that tick all the boxes.
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Typically I've been getting something used in the $200-300 range, but I'm pretty open to options. I don't know enough about the chipsets to have a preference, do you?
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
We've been using HTC phones, but I'm open to whatever makes the most sense in the used $200-300 range, but I'm open to spending more if necessary.

Can you provide a few different options so I can research the models?
[General Questions and Answers] kröte:
What is the best phone under 50 USD? what is the best phone Under 100 USD?

-the phone should support custom ROM that actually gets updated And has a futture. Custom ROM should also remove the spyware.

-The phone will be used to record videos in the street.So cannot be expensive as it can be stolen.

-Hopefully phone supports SD card or has A hard drive at least 16 GB or 32 GB to store videos.

Thanks. Cool forUm by the way.
[General Questions and Answers] ramandeepsingh01:
There have been so many good devices in this range and I really like Poco F3 GT and Nord 2 smartphones, both with Dimensity 1200 chipset. Besides, Motorola Edge 20 series too has good devices in the same range.
[General Questions and Answers] kröte:
You should buy a new Google pixel 2 xl (Not refurbishhed) Model 2017 at Amazon for under 150 USD. Also buy military grade case protection for 20 USD so the screen doesn't crack. Then upgrade the phone using a custom ROM. Now you have a state-of-the-art phone with updates and screen protection for under 190 USD.
[General Questions and Answers] Bv109:
Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a phone that is compatible with the incoming ATT 3G shutdown? Originally, I was going to stick with Samsung's Galaxy line and get an S21, but all of those are restricted to the Snapdragon variants. To my knowledge, these are not rootable or at least requires a paid service to unlock the bootloader. My budget is 600-800$.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
Bv109, I've been looking at the Google Pixel series. They are officially supported by att, so the Roms are likely to be compatible---but I'm still trying to confirm that.

Att calls VoLTE "HD Voice" and you can do a quick google search for "att Service capabilities for your unlocked device" for a PDF of supported att VoLTE devices and then cross reference it against whatever ROM you'd like to use.

Once you decide on a phone, ask in that phones forum to see if VoLTE is working for that ROM.

Still trying to navigate this myself, so anything you discover would be appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] Bv109:
I'm not really looking to run any custom ROM's, just having root access running Magisk/xposed is enough for me. Does that change anything?

I was also looking at Pixel and OnePlus phones, and I think I might have to settle on one of those soon. :(

[General Questions and Answers] KJ7LNW:
I always do a full ROM, so not sure, but I would imagine you can get twrp and magisk going on a stock rom. You'd want yo ask that specific question in the forum for your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Try the Xiaomi note 8 pro. Should be around 100$ nowadays.
[General Questions and Answers] HarshaniS:
You should consider a few important aspects of a smartphone when buying a new one.

Does it have a large battery that will last long, or supports fast charging?

Is it old and refurbished or new? There are pros and cons to both.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Any phone after 2018 most likely has fast changing. As for the battery, that can always be changed.
[General Questions and Answers] ramandeepsingh01:
You can go for Poco F3 GT with Dimensity 1200 chipset. Would be around the same cost and good camera section in it. Good battery as well with 67W fast charging. Also, Nord 2 is advisable.
[General Questions and Answers] kamien8:
Hello,

I've recently flashed (for training purposes, first time ever!) Moto G5 into LineageOS. Works well, looks nice.

Now I am looking for a phone...

- something more up-to-date (than Moto G5)

- not too expensive (£300 is my cup, but it doesn't have to reach it...)

- easy to be flashed and fully working on LineageOS 18.1

- no need for gaps support

- no support for 5G (or possibility to switch it off)

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] houstonbofh:
My Blu Studio 7.0 on ATT in the USA is getting a bit tired... OK, WAY tired! Especially trying to run current google maps. :)

So, looking for a paperback sized tablet. (7-8 inch)

It MUST be rootable or alt OS.

I do need better performance, and wifi.

I am willing to pay more if it comes from a root friendly company...

And I also would like to be more current than the android 5 I am running now.

But I absolutely need to be able to remove the less privacy minded apps and the ability to make some of them only run on demand.

Camera and gaming are unimportant. I use it mainly for email, web browsing, maps, and epub reading, but I do have several network related apps on demand.

Price is flexible, but cheaper is better! Does not need to be brand new or latest and greatest. It is just that what I have now can barely run Maps without stutters.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Check the Lenovo tab m8. Recently it got an android 10 update
[General Questions and Answers] houstonbofh:
It seems VERY hard to fond an LTE one. Is this the one you are thinking of? And it is rootable and works on ATT? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/tablets/android-tablets/lenovo-tab-series/tab-m8-hd-lte/za790003us
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
It is root able. About ATT I have no idea since I reside in Europe. Now do you need a lte one? Got a wifi only tablet I use for driving, everytime I fire up a hotspot on my phone and I am good to go.
[General Questions and Answers] houstonbofh:
My phone and my tablet are on different services because I work in a lot of rural areas that have poor signal on one or the other. So, yes, I need LTE. :) (Wife is on yet a third service.)
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
May I suggest a dual Sim smartphone? Or even a triple Sim smartphone? You could set up everything with your phone, while being more flexible with the second device.
[General Questions and Answers] houstonbofh:
When it comes to technicle work, I prefer the from factor of a small tablet. Larger screen means it is easier to read email, edit a wiki, scan a busy network... But not as portable, so I leave it home when not working. My "phone" is actually very minimal.
[General Questions and Answers] thex2:
Please recommend a phone.

Requirements:

Android OS

Root & Custom ROM support on XDA

128GB or greater storage

Compatible with the Verizon network

Phone must be superior to the Pixel 3XL (my current phone)

Dual front facing speakers

Preferred:

> 128GB of storage

I was waiting for the Pixel 6 with the hope it'd have dual front facing speakers. It appears that isn't the case and thus, I'm wondering if there are any other options out there worth considering. The Pixel 3XL is an amazing phone, but the speaker quality is absolute crap. Just curious if there are any other options out there where I could get some high quality dual front facing speakers.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Mate, if you want to listen to music, those dual front facing speakers aren't going to be better than a dedicated speaker. No smartphone speakers are going to be better than a dedicated speaker. JBL has some tiny speakers, the size of a hamburger, if you are interested in form size. If not, Harman Kardon has a nice speaker, the size of a purse, which I can personally recommend.
[General Questions and Answers] thex2:
I'm just trying to have speakers on my phone that are equivalent or superior to my old Nexus 6. Hell, I'd even take speakers that were equivalent or superior to my old Nextel i88s...

Also, it's not for music specifically. I use my phone for 90% talking on speaker phone and 10% misc youtube video's. Just want a decent speaker that doesn't sound like crap (which the Pixel 3XL's does).
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Then I suggest the Pixel 5 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 20.
[General Questions and Answers] thex2:

[General Questions and Answers] bombdog:
I have been looking at replacement phones and apart from devices with high refresh screens and foldable displays, there is nothing out there which comes close to replacing my P30 Pro.

The industrial design, the camera, the chipset, G-Services and the overall fluidity of the device means that I have no reason to upgrade for the first time in years.

Are there any devices you have been tempted to get or are you, like me, happy with keeping the P30 Pro as your main device?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Personally, the new Sony Xperia Pro-I sounds tempting. I would love a better camera on a flagship. And the fact that a 512 gb device also has a microSD slot nowadays is just amazing. Still, the price is a bit out of my range.
[General Questions and Answers] kruc Ire:
OH yes the Sony camera almost makes it worth carrying around a simlocked device. You can do 128 fps slow-mo videos, and there are 3 lenses 16 gives the wide angle 24 is the more normal, and 70 is for attempting to focus shots at a distance, and the dial really is cool. True the visual screen is sort of faith based but it's great to have the side button and not have to find a screen button. I went to the seaside and made underwater videos as well, at a depth of a few feet. Got a notification immediately the first time I went in the sea with it, and for a month or so after that there was a USB port moisture, but that seems to have gone away finally with no lasting problems. Best phone camera I've ever had. I have only the Xperia 1 II which I got from a reseller and it's simlocked, but the II is better than the III because it doesn't have a side button dedicated to Goolag ({Mod edit}) that button for Goolag sounds really naff, but it wasn't there in the II. Don't need 5G the II was actually some degree less 5G capable I've read. I also really like the thin and straight edged, rounded but still sharp corners design, thinner and easier to hold. I have found difficulty disabling the Goolag Play Store lately, but I haven't noticed much as I keep it firewalled out. I suspect there may be some update that's hiding the uninstall updates option, but I also don't find it as an admin app, so it's puzzling. One last edit, I can't forget the great dual front facing speakers. They are great for listening or watching.

Hi! I am looking to buy a new (or refurbished) phone in the 200€ range. I want it to be small (preferably no larger than 5.2" or so). The main thing I want, is for it to be compatible with LineageOS with MicroG installed, since I want to dabble in that. Ive been looking at fairphone but the price is a bit high for a new one and i have not yet found a good used deal. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Define how small. A 6 inch phone is considered small nowadays, given there are 6.8 and 7 inch smartphones.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
So, first of all, if you are going to modify something at your post, I suggest you specify that you made an edit.

Second, if you just want dabble with micro g and lineage, I suggest the Samsung S6 lineup. Great smartphone, still got a developing community, you can even upgrade the battery. Best phone for dabble.

Non-Xiaomi Phone for around 250€

After an MiA1 and Mi9 Lite I want to switch manufacturers.

I checked out the Oppo A73/74/94 5G versions, the realme 8, Moto G60s, Moto G 5G or OP Nord N10 5G.

SD-card slot would be nice, not necessary if the storage is big enough. Headphone jack would be nice, a decent camera and good battery life.

I usually use my phone for messages, social media, browsing reddit, watching YouTube and PoGo.

Location is Germany and I can wait for some deals in the coming weeks.
