I have the nexus 6 at the moment and i am thinking about getting either the 6p or the moto x and customise it via moto maker. Has anyone decided between these two phones and are you happy with your choice?

Nexus 6p pros

Amoled screen deep blacks (also a con)

Finger print scanner

Looks premium

Fast updates

Better camera?

Notification light

Cons

Amoled screen (burn in, yellowish/pinkish tint)

No memory card slot

Back apparently scratches easy and reports of bending and glass around camera cracking.

More expensive

Moto x pros

Memory card slot

Create my own design

Nav bar wont burn in as it doesnt have amoled

Cheaper

I can check notifications by waving my hand over the phone

Cons

Slower updates

No fingerprint scanner

Screen doesnt look as good as an amoled.

Camera not as good in low light.

Kinda looks like the nexus 6 u already have

Would the moto x be a big upgrade from the original nexus 6?

Also does anyone know what the screen burn in is like on the 6p? I ask as that is probably one of the main factors of me deciding as i absolutely love my nexus 6 but in about 1 month i returned 4 as they all burned in after a day or two and i dont want to pay £500 for a phone that will burn in after a few days.

Thanks

You won't be able to easily mood a note 3 from Verizon. Bootloader is locked and you'll be sorting thru 2,000 page threads for Jasmine rom, boot strap, flash fire, etc. It won't be an easy phone to mood at all. Strike it from your list.

Some of them can't even get root, have to be on 4.4.2/444 kk
[General Questions and Answers] Irumar:
Hmnn!. If you are looking for official company support and custom roms like cyanogen, and mid range, you could also look at LG G3. However, rooting and installing custom roms void warranty, but lg g3 has a lot of development (dev support). As a general rule, look for flagship phones and not yu etc for dev support. Yu comes with cyanogen, but when you compare it to the build, quality, and ruggedness, dev support, it leaves a lot to be desired. If budget is your consideration, you could even look at a samsung s4 or s5, but try to avoid the exynos processor ones.

Simple question...

Oneplus x or moto g turbo?

Also enlighten me with benchmarks & differences in the devices...

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

A guy I know is just going to return his 6p and get Moto x Style, as:

A little TOO big(for him), Moto X fits perfect.

Pics getting blurred easily...

Shaky videos....

Now thats your choice ahead.

Although 6P is just a bit snappier, but MXS wins the race against Nexus 5X for me, so now you choose ahead.

I guess I helped... any more questions feel free!

I just cracked my Nexus 7 2013 32gb today, and wanted some opinions on what I should do. Right now I'm saving my money up for a car and don't really want to spend a whole lot of money on a tablet, but if I have to I will since I use it all the time. Should I replace the screen on it or buy a new tablet? I was thinking that the Nexus 9 is pretty nice, I also saw the Sony Experia Z5 tablet, but its really expensive. So what would you guys do if you were in my situation?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I need a new tablet too; my LG 8.3 is dead. I was planning on getting a Samsung Tab S 8.4, but the new Nvidia Shield is making me reconsider. Screen is a bit smaller, lower resolution, but it has a killer processor and GPU, and the lower (but still great) resolution means higher framerates, plus front-facing stereo speakers.

As for your specific sitiuation, it might be more prudent to replace the screen. A new screen assembly (get the assembly, not the digitizer alone) looks like it's merely $30 or so, which is dirt freaking cheap. The device is a bit aged, but still competent. I don't know what you use it for. If for gaming, a newer device will certainly be a joy for you. If it's for more mundane stuff like light gaming, browsing, watching videos, and reading eBooks, it's hard to argue against spending $32 for a new screen assembly instead of buying a new tablet for $200-500.

If you want a good value, the G3 and G4 a hard to beat at current prices, particularly the G3. If you want the latest and greatest though, wait a few months for when the Snapdragon 820 devices become available.
[General Questions and Answers] devnulled:
Get a screen with tools for about 50$ and replace it. Sometimes cheaper if you didn't crack the LCD and only need to change the digitizer.

Hey there everybody.

I'm standing against a tough choice. I don't know which one to pick: Asus Zenfone 2 Laser or Motorola Moto G 2015.

What is Your opinion about this?

Thanks for any intrest.

Peace.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
As I've said countless times, get an LG G2 or even a G3 if it's within your price range. Or a Galaxy S4, if the size and removable battery/microSD slot suits you better. The Asus laser's main feature is the camera, and reviews are showing that it's not all that great. The Moto G is a good device, but is inferior to flagships from a year or 2 ago that you can buy now for the same price. And of course there's the OnePlus One.

Looking for a new android for my boyfriend to replace his current awful phone, and finances are a bit tight right now. We're hoping to find a device under $160, it needs to have SD support to hold all his music and photos, GSM FACTORY unlocked (not carrier unlocked preferrably... I've never had luck getting bootloaders unlocked on those) for Cricket Wireless, and we'd like to find one that has flexibility on custom ROMs. He really likes the one I have, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2, which has CM and PAC, and around the $200 range, but we're wondering if the people of XDA have other devices to recommend that would be a bit cheaper. Like me, he also prefers large-ish screens... no tiny phones. It'd also be great to have one that is eligible for Lollipop. Perhaps I am asking too much though. :P

Budget device

Hey y'all,

I'm looking for a phone for my girlfriend (I accidentally broke her old phone).

Seeing how she doesn't need any bleeding edge/flagship model, I was wondering if anyone could recommend anything?

No games or heavy applications are needed, just whatsapp, sms and call (even email or browsing isn't the highest priority)

+ can anyone confirm whether budget devices have gotten better over the years or still crap (looking at you 4 years ago HTC)?

alternatively a higher end device of a previous generation would also do

Ideal price would be south of 100 euro

ps: anyone know the brands cynus,mobitel and ZTE, I saw it in our local Saturn (Germany) but I can't really find any real reviews on most of these devices?
[General Questions and Answers] Nitro1max1:
I have the samsung galaxy exhilarate from cricket, and I also had it down to both these devices. The samsung galaxy exhilarate is a pretty good phone, it officially has lolipop now but there's no root for lolipop. It does come stock with kitkat and you are able to root that. I like the grand prime, it's cameras are okay nothing crazy but plenty good for just about anything. It has a 1.2ghz 64 bit processor and 1gb of ram, it doesn't lag on it at all unless you get into some more intense games. As for durability goes, it feels kinda cheap in hand but it can suffer some pretty nice drops and doesn't have a problem. The size of the prime is perfect I think, I wish it was a little more round on the corners but whatever. I've had this phone for 4 months now and am pretty happy with it besides not being able to root on 5.1.1, I have no comment on the stylo as I've never seen it or used it. The display isn't anything to brag about but its not bad and has pretty good viewing angles. Color accuracy is decent, not great not bad, the more major fallback is the display is kinda hard to read under direct sunlight. Go with what you want, but I'm sure the grand prime won't be disapointing. Really wish I could see and use a stylo though. Looks like a pretty nice phone

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 or 3.

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Moto X 2013, LG G2, Galaxy S4, HTC One M7, depending on her needs (size, SD card). Should be able to find them within your price range used.

If you're buying off-contract, the Huawei Nexus 6P will be the newest and easiest to root (unlockable bootloader). The Motorola Nexus 6 from last year is still pretty good too. There's also the Moto X Pure/Style.

If you have to buy on-contract, you're kinda SOL. The newest phones (Droid Turbo 2, Note 5/Edge 6+, LG G4 and V10) are all locked down. Verizon does sell the Nexus 6, but only the 32gb version. And they want $648 for it, which is ridiculous considering that Amazon right now is selling it for $250 ($300 for the 64gb). There's also the G3, but it's not bleeding edge anymore (especially with the G5 coming soon). And they want way too much for that one too. Same with the Moto G 2014 (plus they only have 16gb). And they don't offer the Nexus 6P or Moto X Pure.

I ended up going for the Nexus 5X. Found it on B&H video for $329, no tax, free 2-day shipping, with a $20 B&H gift card.

I'm very happy with it. Screen size is perfect, plenty fast, no lag/stutter issues with 6.0.1 custom ROMs. Easily rootable. Custom ROM support is growing. Has Cataclysm, Omni, Dirty Unicorns, Chroma, PureNexus and ElementalX kernel support. It includes Band12 and T-Mobile WiFi calling for T-Mobile users (yes, even on an unlocked Non-TMobile device). Project Fi support, Camera is excellent, sound is OK, It's a new device so Google will have promos for it. I already did the $20 Best Buy gift card Android Pay promo. Battery life is good.

What should I buy Meizu PRO 5 or Huawei Mate 8?

Hi people from XDA,

I'm in a dilemma, I'm in china and I want to buy a new phone between this 3/4 the Meizu PRO 5, the Huawei Mate 7/8 and the OPPO R7 Plus.

I can get the Meizu PRO 5 64gb ROM, 4gb RAM for 430 Euros (Should I get the 4gb RAM version or with 3gb is enough? I don't mind about the storage)

The Mate 7 (32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) and Mate 8(32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) are the same price (460 euros) I don't know why.

The OPPO R7 Plus (32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) for 460 euros.

So please guys tell me which one of those would be the best to buy, and If you know other interesting phones with a similar price that you think are better than the previous mentioned, don't doubt in recommending it.

Thanks a lot :D:D

After few years with Lumia 1320, now I would like to get a flagship android smartphone. I know Huawei P8 and LG G4 well because my parents use them. They are both greath, but they just... don't sing to me.

Personally I adore Samsung Galaxy S6 (flat) because of its look and speed, however I'm really affraid of its battery.

The most important things I'm looking in for are:

a) speed and great (iOS like) performance

b) battery

Good music quality at headphones and great design would be nice as well. About the pricing - let's just say that Nexus 6P is a little bit too expensive, eBay's SGS6 32 is the top I can spend.

Could you please recommend me something great for me?

[General Questions and Answers] 1031982:
Still looking for tablet advise.

It's will primarily be used for reading E-books from school. They have an Android app, but no support for the Kindle Fire tabs.

It will be used as a secondary device, so I don't need it to be the greatest. Beyond that, expandable memory would be nice just because occasional I will play games on it. Casual games though, like Simpsons Tapped Out, Family Guy, and Fallout Shelter are probably the most extreme that I would play on it. Other stuff would be games like Diamond Digger and Plague Inc.

Don't want to spend a lot as I don't think I really need a lot, however I will if it's worth it.

Only other thing I would like decent battery life. I was thinking around 8 or more hours for it's rating.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
For $200, the nVidia K1 can't be beat, IMO. It's a gaming tablet, so it'll handle anything you can throw at it, plus I think there's exclusive stuff for Fallout Shelter. I'm a fan of the 8" form factor - big enough for whatever, but small enough to hold with one hand. And nVidia has already updated it to 6.0, and will keep it updated for a while.

[General Questions and Answers] 1031982:
The only issue I have with it is that I would have to get a charger as it seems to not include one.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
It's just a regular USB/micro USB charger. You don't have another or 7 lying around? If not, an OEM one from Samsung or Motorola is only a few bucks of Amazon or Ebay. Hell, PM me your address and I'll mail you one. Yeah, it's a bit odd that nVidia isn't including a charger, but they're giving you a $300 device for $200 (minus the stylus), so what can anyone complain about?
[General Questions and Answers] 1031982:
Kinda funny, I'm probably one of the only people who doesn't have one lying around. At least not one with enough amps to charge it. Most of mine are capped at 1 amp. The highest one I have is 1.6 amps.

From what I can see, I need at least two amps.

Also, the games I would play would be pretty basic. The most advanced ones would be along the lines of Simpsons Tapped out and Family Guy.

If there is a cheaper option, that would be great. I do realize the appeal of the K1, and will be saving for that one.

Yes, I need to save for it. I had to build a new computer for online classes because my old one was too slow.

The right comparison is with the 3gb model of lg g3, as the price difference is not much. I have personally found the lg g3 to be more stable (both hardware and software), has better quality of construction, and better support (both manufacturer and dev), sbapdragon processor, and replaceable battery and sd card slot. However, if budget wise you are still stuck on 2 gb ram lg g3, you should also look at one plus two, and then decide, even though the SoC is snapdragon 810 with heating issues, development wise might still be better than Asus.

I've been using the HTC one m7 for almost 2.5 years (love it) and now feeling like it's time for change but can't get rid of all the tweaks i've installed (xposed framework, elementalX kernel, Project ERA) really can't :p

now,i'm thinking to get one of HTC's latest flagship (m9, a9....m10!) But i've read some bad reviews about (whyyy HTC!) or switch to Samsung (...)

The thing is,i'm a 4.7" 4.8" screen guy, i don't really like screens bigger than that but i see i'm like a dying breed :D i probably won't find what i'm looking for in the 4.x" area and I'm willing to go up to 5" but no more :/

Hi all!

Been trying to decide between the LG G3 and the moto X pure 2014. they are both right around $200 USD on ebay, my sweet spot. I am coming off a SGS3 with a 4.4.4 SlimRom , which I really liked because of the dark theme. Never used the LG UI, but would prefer something fast and non-bloated. Here are my preferences:

1) good dependable camera. Nothing is more frustrating than the camera crashed on custom ROMs. Would love it to have slo mo and time lapse....

2) Must have an OEM or custom Marshmallow ROM. I am interested in the extra features that the Moto X has, and that it is very close to stock android. Not sure about LG's UI. Are there good MM ROMs for it that are NOT BUGGY?

3) Must have a decent battery. This is where the Moto might suffer I have read :( (although DOZE might help with that?)

Thanks for the recommendations!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Irumar:
Well, the lg g3 can have an extended battery of 8500 mah too. LG G3 will get a stock upgrade onto marshmallow. Infact you can manually do it right away. As and when stock upgrade fades, you will get better custom roms.

If you want pure android, then I'd suggest the moto. Otherwise one should go for lg g3.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Go with the G3. Better camera, although I can't speak for its performance with custom ROMs. Battery on the Moto X 2014 sucks.

An alternative would be the OnePlus One. Tons of custom ROMs, great battery, decent enough camera, and still in your price range. I don't think it has time lapse (few phones do), but it does have 120fps slo-mo, at least with the right camera app.
[General Questions and Answers] Mokiwipeout:
The xperia z2 has a pretty good battery, along with a 20 megapixel rear camera(which takes some nice shots, although the same probably cannot be said about the front camera).

However, marshmallow might be the last android version the Z2 will get, because it has been around for nearly 2 years, so keep that in mind. Generally speaking though, sony's ROMs are pretty close to stock android so you might not even have to install a custom rom.
