On Verizon with grandfathered Unlimited data, contract is up in Jan but could prob call Verizon and get it early. I am interested in the Galaxy Note 2 and even considering using the upgrade (thus voiding Unlimited) or buying the phone out right ($700?).

Tablet / Phone rec's

Hi guys, two questions..

#1 A friend's asking me which tablet to get, i suggested Nexus 7, cheapest i could find was around £180 or the Kindle Fire HD for £160. Seems out of his price range as he keeps asking my opinion / sending links to tablets around £100 price range... so... anyone know what's the best available for £100? or close to it?

#2 Starting a new phone contract with Tesco Mobile, my phone's screwed up and costing too much pay-as-u-go, so i have the choice of Nokia Lumia 800 or Samsung Galaxy Ace. Pretty sure i'll go for the Lumia 800 but would be nice for second opinion.

Thanks guys, sorry i expect you get the "whats best for £100" a lot lol, prices change so just thought I'd ask.

Cheers :good:
[General Questions and Answers] mfsr98:
About the tab, no idea on your country prices. As for the phone, from those 2 the 800 is better (dah :p) but it's outdated now because of WinPhone8. See the price of the Galaxy nexus. That phone will get updates for sure (I should buy it next month :D)

Not too worried about having the latest & greatest with the phone, my friend has a Lumia 800 and thinks it's great, just used to having droid devices so had a little doubt :P Mainly need this tablet question answered but thanks for input :good:

The two tablets he asked about were the Gemini JoyTAB 7in Android Tablet and CnM 7 Inch Touchpad which are both going for £99 but was hoping you guys knew something better around £100? (give or take £20!)

Need help deciding what tab to buy for my daughter who is 2yrs old (yeah I know a tab for a 2yr old) anyways im looking at the nexus 7 and the galaxy tab 2 7. I know all the specifics and such just really cant decide please help my wife and I out on deciding.

sent from a jedi galaxy note2 from far far away
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Nexus 7 is definitely better than the tab 2 7.0, its a no brainer
[General Questions and Answers] apen83:
Yeah I know but this is for a 2yr old. Reason im having such a hard problem deciding is because of the tab2 having the sd slot. Pretty much just gonna use it for videos and such and its alot easier to switch out a sd. But I agree the nexus 7 is a sexy beast ive never owned a tab and my note2 works just great for me.

sent from a jedi galaxy note2 from far far away
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
right, I totally forgot. Lol

If you think swapping out SD cards is more convenient, and if you won't go too much further than watching videos, and it really is just for the kid, then try the Fuhu Nabi 2. I remember it being cheaper on Black Friday, but maybe there are still some cheaper than its regular $200 pricetag.

It probably won't get many updates past its current ICS, and it has microSD expansion as well as a Tegra 3 cpu. So basically specs of the n7 but with sd card.

Problem: no google play store. Amazon app store can be sideloaded though

[General Questions and Answers] samsat:
My Mom has had great use out of her old Lumia 430 but it is really is long in the tooth and I would rather she uses an Android device as I am far more familiar with that OS than Windows.

She just uses the phone for browsing, email, whatsapp and Facebook. So really don't need lots of RAM.

She likes the 4" screen size but she is well into her 80's and I am sure she would see a 5" screen much easier.

The phone needs to unlocked as she uses GSM in another country.

I am reluctant to get a phone that's too old as she will start running into battery issues.

I have looked at Swappa and see there are some unused Galaxy S5's for about $190.

What else should I be looking at that may cost less than $190??

[IMG="hello there"]https://i.imgur.com/w9Mp8XR.jpg[/IMG]

I'm getting a new smartphone and I've narrowed my choice to these 3 contenders: OnePlus 6, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and Samsung Galaxy S9 G960F (Exynos). By this point I am literally torn apart between them as I feel each one has their own assets that I care about, will you help me decide XDA fellas?

The lowest prices that I've found in my country are as follows:

OP6 6/64 - 630 USD

Mix 2S 6/64 - 560 USD

S9 4/64 - 680 USD

I will definitely flash a custom rom on my new device. I am not really a mobile gamer, but I tend to multitask quite a bit.

Things I care most about:

- value for money

- long-term performance (not slowing down in 2+ years time with regular updates and wipes, previously had Galaxy S3 and Redmi Note 3 Pro, both were lagging pretty badly after circa 18 months)

- rear camera (portraits - not so much; landscapes and low-light - much more)

- comfort and grip - Especially one-handed convenient use. Once again I have to point out my previous phones - Galaxy S3 was great to use with one hand, I didn't even have to put a case on it, it would never slip out. The Note 3 Pro however, while being only (?) 0.5cm wider, felt bulky and very slippery in my hand due to its aluminum back. I've had to put a silicon case on it, which added some grip but also even more bulkiness. I know that the smartphones I'm considering to buy aren't cheap and each one of these would land in a case. From what I've heard, the Mi Mix 2S is VERY slippery w/o a case, the silicon case that comes with OP6 has some pretty good grip, and I'm sure the S9 is the slimest of them all by something like 0.6cm.

Which one would you recommend based on criteria that I've provided and your overall experience? Maybe something outside those 3?

[General Questions and Answers] Jacquestrapp:
Do I have any options other than the LG V30 series?

My Nexus 5X exhibited the first signs of the Bootloop of Death today. I'm looking for a new phone that (in descending order of importance):

- Works on Verizon.

- Has an unlockable bootloader/rootable/ROMs available (all V30 variants have this now I think)

- Has a great camera

- Isn't made by Huawei or Xiaomi

- Has a microSD slot

- Has a headphone jack

I don't really play games on the phone so I don't need the absolute best performance specs. Because of that, I usually don't replace my phone until it breaks, so having a good custom ROM selection is important for keeping Android updated until that happens. I'm considering a Pixel 2 (or 3 if my 5X holds out that long) for that reason, but if I also want a headphone jack and microSD slot, the only option I see right now is the LG V30 series. Any others I'm missing?

[General Questions and Answers] Tumpster:
Mate 10 Pro VS Pixel 2 XL - Which One To Keep?

I have both, camera is slightly better on the Pixel but I came from the Mate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The allure to the Pixel is flashable ROMs and long term 2-3 year support. There appears to be a growing movement on Open Kirin to getting more ROMs for the Mate and P series. Really I'd stick with the Mate if I knew there were/are more. I also enjoy the super charging, but I'm also enjoying the fluid stock Android of the Pixel. Huawei has recently announced Pixel like updates.I'll believe it when I see it but I'm optimistic. Quad HD and ambient display don't mean as much to me, I don't travel too much, I get VoLTE on both, and I would enjoy more gestures for the Pixel. I'm a man divided and would welcome some feedback. Im looking to have this phone for around 2 years if not longer.
[General Questions and Answers] Amirk365:
If it's around two years you are looking for, then it's the Pixel 2 XL. Huawei has improved with updates but don't get your hopes up with Open Kirin and custom ROMs.

I been searching for a low-mid range phone and these are the two that i think could be worth buying in 180$ price tag but i couldn't decide between these two. Mainly i use phone for making calls,text messages and using other few internet apps (mainly messenger and whatsapp) and sometime for taking photos..

Keeping above in mind processor of both phones is ok for me and 3gb ram too.

So it come down to Camera, battery and build quality (as i will be using it for atleast 2 years as a daily driver).

So, been thinking for a while to replace my Asus TF201 with another tablet.

Ram :2-4 GB

Speed : 1.6+ Ghz (even better if overclockable)

Storage : 32 GB +/- Micro SD compatibility

OS : Android 7.0 (if is 5.0 but there are great 7.0 roms, it would do nicely)

Battery : 3000+

Size : ~10 inches

Preferably with a dock, an USB 2.0/3.0 port and a micro hdmi connection

Price range :250$-300$

Tablet intended for lots of internet browsing, social media and movie watching. Or some light games, like Candy Crush.

Hi. I'm looking to buy my very first tablet. I mainly gonna use it for media like twitch, youtube and movies, gaming from time to time for games like hearthstone and oldschool runescape mobile when it comes out, and some internet browsing. My budget is around 100-200 dollars. I recently saw a review for Cube Talk 9X from 4 years ago on this forum, back then it was 180 dollars and it had some decent specs that would definately be enough for me. And since it's from 4 years ago i bet there's some other newer tablets with similar specs and a newer android version. Any brand would be fine for me unless they are known to make unreliable stuff. You could also suggest a vendor that ships to Europe, but if not i could find it myself.

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a new phone since my Oneplus One is four years old now and begins to behave slowly (For example: starting an app (Whatsapp or Instagram) can take up to 30 seconds).

In this price range I found the Honor 8. Any pros or cons about this phone? Or does anybody know an alternative?

Okay I hope this is the right place to ask this. I have an acer Iconia A1-840FHD tablet on kitkat 4.4.2 I maintain because It's the only device I have owned that runs all of old app purchases I've made in terms of games I own. Unfortunately it's getting to a point that it may cost me more to repair or replace it as it's no longer in production. I'd like a cheaper and if possible better alternative. As of now I have to use link2SD to expand the storage and it bugs out once in awhile. The screen isn't the greatest either. Any decent tablet under $100 will do as long as it's OS is on kit kat. I'm not sure if 4.4.4 would support the apps so let me know if that's the case. I recently bought a samsung tab S 8 and downgraded it to 4.4.2 and it couldn't run some of my apps. So any direction would be welcome.

Hey guys!

I'm looking in to buying a new phone at the end of the summer.

Currently I'm using an HTC M9, before that it was the M8, M7, and One X.

Requirements:

TWRP

Root

Nice to haves:

Custom ROMs

Headphone jack

Removable storage

IR blaster

Nice Camera

I really really appreciate the work of all the programmers out there and I am a big supporter of the open source movement.

I have used CyanogenMod and then LineageOS as far back as I can remember.

I can't find a phone that meets all these requirements, but I have a few that I like primarily the Huawei P20 Pro or the OnePlus 6.

Hello folks,

DW was using HTC One X. It was working well for her needs and since money is tight, we didn't want to change the phones.

Yesterday, she dropped the phone and the digitizer broke. The screen behind the digitizer is damaged as well but not too sure how it will perform, post digitizer replacement. So I am considering a used phone off swappa (or similar refurbs), somewhere between $100-$150.

Standard xda requirements apply

- Should be able to install ROM without too much of fuss. (I am not a geek like most of the folks here but I have managed to root and install ROMs on other phones. HTC was just too tricky)

- The ROM development community is active enough that the phone can be used for another 2-3 years.

Plus,

- Expandable storage.

- 3-4GB RAM

- at&t network.

There are a lot of LG phones available on Swappa. G5, V10 etc. Are they any good on xda requirements?

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] dmcgregor:
I could use some advice on a new phone. I currently have a Note 2 and a Note 4 from Verizon. I've unlocked and put ROMs on both of them (CM on the Note 2 and RR on the Note 4). Privacy (or at least the semblance of privacy) is important to me, so when I installed my ROMs I didn't put GApps back on. This worked out really well at first for my Note 2, battery life was great and I didn't really miss any of the apps I no longer had access to. But when I tried the same thing with my Note 4 I've ended up with some extreme instability, not sure if that's because of the lack of GApps, or because I screwed something up in the long process of unlocking the bootloader, or if the phone had problems to start with (bought it refurbed a few years after it was released). I ended up going back to my Note 2, which works better, but still lots of things mysteriously don't work or only work intermittently. So I'm at the point where I really need a phone that is stable and just works.

Which brings me here. The things I most care about are:

1) Some semblance of privacy and security. As much as possible I'd like to escape having a ton of apps that are tracking everything I do online. I realize this is mostly a false comfort, and that there's not a lot you can realistically do to stop it, yet I still really don't want to have a Google account just to use my phone.

2) Customization over the UI - I like being able to use different ROMs to change the look and functionality of the phone.

3) Basic functionality like making phone calls and using mobile data has to work reliably. I don't really care about most apps (I've been using F-Droid for almost everything, with a couple of apps downloaded from Amazon to fill in some gaps)

There used to be a lot more of absolute requirements, but those have kind of fallen by the wayside, but for sake of completeness here are some "nice to haves"

1) Removable battery

2) Expandable storage

3) Stylus

4) Price below $400 (but OK buying a phone that's a couple of years old)

Any general or specific advice for me?
