Need a new phone: Moto Z Play / Honor 8 = 400 euros max

Hello,

I am currently using an iPhone 5c but I would like to get a new phone since Apple is going to ditch 32-bit devices and also the battery on this device has become atrocious (I have to charge it 2-3 times a day... and I am not a heavy user at all).

Since iPhones are way too expensive for me (I live in Europe and they are much more expensive here), I am thinking of switching to android. I am getting bored of iOS and android seems quite a fun OS. My main requirements for a phone are:

- Security updates (at least within 3 months of official release, that's why I like iOS because they update even old devices quickly)

- Good camera

- Good battery life (at least a full day of use and a little bit more)

- Ability to install custom roms to increase device lifespan

- 400 euros or less

After searching around, I have found two devices that fit my needs: the Honor 8 and Moto Z Play. However I cannot decide which one to buy.

On amazon Europe, the Honor 8 is at 344 euros while the Moto z play is at 355 euros.

I have also looked at Oneplus but they stop selling the 3 and only the 3T which is over budget for me.

Which one would you recommend? Do you have other suggestions than these phones?

Thanks!!

You are right but apparently there are two different variants (I just found out http://m.gadgetsnow.com/mobiles/How...erent-from-Galaxy-S5/articleshow/38680927.cms )

The 4g variant is powered by Snapdragon while the non 4g with Exynos).

Now that it IS 4g, I've no particular complains about it(except battery maybe) but be careful to check the variant.

Hit thanks if this helped!

I'm thinking about upgrading my Galaxy Alpha. My main concern is future proofing, IE buying a phone which has good custom rom support. As it stands my Galaxy Alpha only supports buggy unofficial rom ports which isn't something I'm interested in.

Any ideas for something inexpensive that'll hopefully last a while? I'm thinking about the Nexus 5x, it's pretty cheap second hand and supports lineage OS but I'm not sure.

Which is better? Brand new Sony Xperia Z3 or second-hand LG G5?

Now, in approx. 1 month i will have the amount to buy a phone , and currently I'm seeing these 2 phones suit my budget , but it's kinda hard to decide and anything that's snapdragon 808 or newer are kinda expensive . Sony's offer looks really nice , it got water-resistance but it's a 3 years old phone and The LG G5 is much more recent but everyone keeps complaining about the boot-looping issue which got me worried. I don't know my budget is around 200$. So I'd like to hear some suggestions.

[General Questions and Answers] aviralrstg:
No the battery is not a problem, but nowadays we have upto 4000mah batteries that buying a phone with just 2800mah, seems a disadvantage. But it shouldn't be a problem. My complaint was that the battery is RELATIVELY small, it should hold up just fine on its own. Also, at what price are you getting it and where?

I was really inspired by the features of s5. Can i go for it now in 2017
[General Questions and Answers] aviralrstg:
It only really depends on your needs. If you can find the Snapdragon variant(I'm not sure about the exynos one), you should be fine. I myself, am using a phone with SnapDragon 801(the same as in s5) and it is more than enough for casual use(with a good ROM, it is very fast). So the phone is great and if it's within your budget, then just buy it.

Hello community! I am getting tired of 4-5hours of SOT and 2% per hour on 4G on my OnePlus One. It's really good device if you don't care about battery.

Is there a smartphone (or it's upcoming) with really good battery life that won't be a step back from my device?

From what I know nothing beats Lenovo P2, but unfortunately IMO it's a little step back from my side (screen, camera, ROM support is worse).

Can someone help me? :)

You can either get Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(very long battery, slow charging time), OnePlus 3/3T(great battery, fastest charging) or Moto G5(very long battery, faster charging).

That really is not that bad. To be honest in this day and age who can really spend 4 or 5 hours looking at their phone. Too much live to live and too many things to see that you can't see in the Internet.

Hhh, i actually agree with [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION], 4 to 5 hours isn't bad at all, I'm actually begging my phone for 3 hours SOT..lol

However, if you like the OnePlus family, you can try the OnePlus 3/3T, it supports bullet charging (from 0 to 100% in 30 minutes...that's what they say...)

Hi! I'm looking for a new phone, an upgrade to the HTC M8 I'm currently using.

I only have 4 requirements:

-Under 300€ (could be refurbished, chinese, anything above grade A)

-LTE Band 20

-Dev Comunity (if possible Lineage 14.1 Official with no bugs) or a clean stable stock 7.1 rom

-Needs to be better than the M8 (camera, battery, better SOC)

Is the Nexus 6P still a good buy? Any other options?

It should last at least an year, rest depends on you. I would recommend newer phone, go for S5 only if you get it cheap or really need the samsung features(software features). Otherwise there are many great phones available like Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or Moto G4 Plus etc.

I would buy Redmi Note 4. It starts from 9999 for 2GB RAM and 32GB storage but I would recommend the 3GB RAM (with 32GB storage) variant for 10,999.
[General Questions and Answers] wiikii:
I agree with you.. Really 4..5 hours sot sucks a lot.. Because mostly i dont charge my phone fully and won't use it till 0%.. So i would like to suggest you to wait .. one plus 5 is coming very soon.. With bigger battery and very good processor which will be battery efficient too..

Right now there is a device Redmi Note 4.. Whose battery is really superb... If you like xiaomi phones go for it but it takes 3 hours to get fully charge and even with heavy usage it will last a day.. But with moderate usage it can last upto 2 days.. But if you are like me who listen to songs.. There you will be disappointed because of sound quality rest is superb in this phone

[General Questions and Answers] wrbl:
Hey guys, I'm looking forward to switching my G3 for something different. I'm really happy with it but lack of the manual camera, not so good battery life and the operating temp is really annoying. Also 2Gb of RAM sometimes is really annoying. For example when I listen to spotify and somebody calls me, spotify is closed and again I have to open the app. Also sometimes the battery drain is ridiculous in my opinion, in 3 hours 45% eaten with some light snapchat and instaram browsing. And the biggest gripe I have with it is that the temps sometimes get to 100 Celcius :/

Ok and now the phones I'm looking for are the ones that have good camera, and by good camera I mean, manual controll, maybe raw, nice shallow depth of field, video not so shakey. Other stuff is using the phone in simple day today tasks, some social stuff, some photo editing and maybe occasionally a game, but not those really graphically intensive like asphalt but for example TimeLocker or some retro inspired stuff :)

The phones I was looking forward to are:

Honor 8/Huawei P9 - The camera as a photo snapper is really good, I had it in hand and it's really nice. The system is snappy and I have't saw any problems in short time. The only thing I don't like is the video stuff on it :/ no stabilization, no manual control of it and the samples I saw are really poor.

Galaxy S7 - The edge variant is better when it comes to battery but the curve is really weird for me and also the price is much better for the regular one. The camera really nice, manual stuff and gives nice results. The thing I don't like about the phone is the os, the white backgrounds, the layout in settings and stuff is really weird for me, also the styling of it is really poor for me. And one thing but really annoying for me is the switched navigation buttons.

Nexus 6p/5X - I know that there's a difference between the performance with those but I saw it mainly in really graphically intense apps, the lag is really small. The camera is the same but still no manual stuff :/ I placed them together because sometimes I can snag a 6p for the price of an 5X.

Moto Z - The modular one, I don't know it's just nice :)

LG V10 - When it come's to size it's a monster but the camera is really nice, and other stuff also, I like the desing.

And I'm still looking :/ Do any of you guys had this problem with switching from the LG G3? Any opinions on my options? Hope you quote and help out.

Moto Z Play vs OnePlus 3T?

Axon 7($360) vs Xperia X Performance($300) vs Moto G5 Plus 4GB($300) vs iPhone SE($270) Budget is $300.

I'm also completely up for suggestions besides these phones.

This is not for me, this is for a friend. I know iPhones are probably disliked around here, and I know I wouldn't get one, but my friend just wants a good camera and a reliable phone.

In terms of what's important(1 is most important)

Camera

Battery

Speed

Axon 7. If he can't get that, I think he'll be fine with Xperia X Performance.
[General Questions and Answers] melopuf:
Is the Axon 7 camera better than the G5?

My other option is a used/refurbished S7/S7 Edge. They pop up all the time, I'm just afraid of it dying 3 weeks after I get it for him.
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
Honestly, I'm not sure since I didn't use any of these devices. Try looking it up on youtube. S7/S7 Edge also sounds like a very good option. Try and see if you can get a deal on a brand-new one . I doubt it will be priced at $300 USD, but there is hope for it now when Galaxy S8/S8+ is released.

:good: for the Moto G4 Plus
[General Questions and Answers] doveman:
I just bought a ZUK Z2 Plus rather than a G4/G5, in large part because they don't have a compass which makes navigating on foot in Google Maps more difficult but it also has a faster CPU. I was considering the Moto as not many other phones support Dual-SIM and SD card together (the 2nd SIM slot tends to double up as the SD card slot). The Z2 doesn't have a SD slot at all but with 64GB internal storage I don't need it as I only had 8GB+32GB SD on my old phone and that was sufficient.

Hello Android Masters from all over the world!!!

I need some serious help here. I am between 3 Samsung phones now; A7 2017, A8 2016 and C7. I don't know which one to buy. Please give me some ideas with reasons, pros and cons, so that i can decide which one to buy. Sorry for my bad English by the way.
[General Questions and Answers] MigoMujahid:
I made some comparisons between the 3 phones, and i would throw the A8 2016 out of the choices because its hardware is lower than both the A7 and the C7, except for the core speed, it has 2.1 core speed, and the A7 has 1.9 and the C7 has 2.0, but that isn't a big deal for me.

So now i have to choose between the A7 2017 and C7 which is a bit hard, the C7 has higher ram (4GB) and the A7 has 3GB, but other than that the A7 is better especially that it has the gyroscope sensor that doesn't seem to be available in the C7 (as far as i read), and it has a higher battery capacity as well, also the A7 has the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection that isn't available in the C7, also there is other small differences between them but not a big deal for me, so i would go for the A7 2017.
[General Questions and Answers] Robdyx:
So.... My 6P finally died, along with the Nexus family. Now I face the decision I hoped I could postpone for at least one more year:

So what now?

I've checked a few options and now I am among three options:

OnePlus 5

Xiaomi Mi6

Huawei P10

Now this is my criteria for choosing my next phone:

Update cycle (most important) I always loved having 2 years of support with state of the art updates

Price tag, 450-500 would be ideal

AMOLED screen is strongly preferred. Hardware quality, nice camera and Snapdragon processor are preferred

So, keeping this in mind, would you recommending getting the P10 (which has a Krillin processor), the Mi6 (which has MIUI, and thus an uncertain update cycle) or wait for the 1+5 (at least one month holding with my old Nexus One, with unguaranteed stock and specs, even though most have been leaked and seem pretty solid). Keep in mind I don't include the Pixel family because of the excessive price tag and the release date (the second gen won't be released until October or so).

I come to the masters for help. Please give me the reasons for your choice and I'll really consider your comments. Thank you so much, people!
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
1) P10 is a pretty good device judging by the specs. BUT, as far as I can see, it lacks an AMOLED display and I wouldn't trust Huawei regarding updates. From what I've read, they seem to be very obscure on the matter of updates as so I'm not entirely sure whether the P10 will receive Android P.

2) Mi 6 looks like a solid pick. It has SD 835, 6GBs of RAM and an above-average battery. However, it too lacks an AMOLED display. Updates are also uncertain, like you noted. However, it's more than likely to have a great development community support and thus, you will be easily able to update to the latest and greatest of Android. I wouldn't be entirely sure that this is the case with the P10.

3) We have yet to see what OnePlus 5 has to offer. I'm pretty sure it will receive at least 2 major Android updates and it most certainly will have superb development community support.

If I were you, I'd wait for OnePlus 5, see if any major issues with the phone itself arise and only then, decide between OnePlus 5 or the Mi 6.

Buena suerte :)

Hello,

firstly I am glad I found this thread. :D

I'm about to buy a new smartphone. My first *new* smartphone in about 4 years (I've had used Nexus 4 which I trashed and I've been stuck with a dumbphone since)

Simply said, I want a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime, but it doesn't have Global variant yet. The question is: should I wait until (and if) the Global variant comes out, or buy something entirely different? And if it's the latter, what should I get? 230USD is my upper limit, but I'd be glad if it was less (if I can get the phone, tempered glass and some protective cover into that price, it'd be super perfect :D)

Criteria:

only 5" (anything smaller is too small, but I don't want a fly swatter)

Preferrably Qualcomm as I am not sure about the Mediatek quality

At least 2GB RAM

Storage is not so important, 32GB is just enough, but I need SD-card (well, I wouldn't if it was at least 128GB phone, but I don't think I can get that in my price range :D).

I don't need dual-SIM, but I don't mind

OH AND ONE BIG THING: No Samsung, HTC or Huaweii. I know I hate Samsung and for some reason I dislike the other twos (no idea why, maybe I just don't like letter H :D)

And of course I would love a phone with at least some alternative ROM support, not something closed and stuck (like the ZTE Grand X In I had, it was really pain in the buttocks)

Thanks for your time :)

Best supported 8" tablet?

Long time Android user here. Galaxy tab 8.9 -> LG Gpad 8.3 GPE. Moto Droid -> Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime -> Droid Turbo -> Pixel XL. Would continue to use the Gpad if I could find a current custom rom for it.

Frustrated :mad: with the lack of updates in 8" tablet land. The GPE saw its last security patch in 9/2016. Lineage is running on the Tab S2 but no bluetooth support. Saw the Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus is coming out sometime this month but then saw that Lenovo users aren't even getting Nougat or security patches for devices that came out just last year.

Is there anything 8"-9" that I can expect to have decent support for at least 2-3 years? All I really need in a tablet is:

decent screen

either big storage OR rootable with sd slot

security patches OR unlockable/rootable with good community support
