[General Questions and Answers] RAFbombhead:
Years of Apple servitude is starting to get a little boring and I’m thinking about jumping ship. Currently have the iPhone XS Max and a Watch and whilst they are functional, I’m a bit bored.

After a little search of the most recent flagships I feel most of them have compromises, some are deal breakers. Looking forward to the Note 10 announcement later.

Got to admit, I’m a bit nervous about losing iCloud sync for messages and photos and more but I’m sure I can muscle through. Also my last toe dips into Android went badly (A note 2 with horrible UI and a Sony which used to die whilst on charge and not reboot).

But yet, here I am, looking for options and I have a list of needs and nice to haves:

Needs:

- To be new enough to get the next few major updates.

- Wireless charging.

- Google Pay ability.

- The ability to do cloud backups (not sure if this is native these days?)

- Battery life to support medium to heavy usage including using hotspot.

- To be a brand, as much as some of the Chinese makes are doing well, I like to have a support network when things go wrong.

- OLED screen.

- Android Auto (is it standard?)

Nice to haves:

- Smaller screen? I sometimes feel my XS Max is too big, but I think the days of sub 6” phones are gone for now.

- A “wow factor” feature, it’s always nice to have a party trick.

- Notchless, also not too keen how Samsung are doing the offset holepunch either.

- Ability to connect to a decent smartwatch (haven’t decided which one).

Things I care not about:

- Camera, don’t use it for anything serious.

- Where the fingerprint sensor is, it just doesn’t matter.

- Gaming, except PoGo.

- Price, I’ll pay whatever is needed for the right thing.

So where do I go? What do I have to sacrifice?

Welcome back!!!

1 - any major flagship will get next 2 updates .. but some may take a while .. Google Pixel, One Plus or any Android One device best bet for quick updates.

2 - wireless charging most flagships have these days.. except one plus.

3 - All have Google Play unless you get Chinese version of Chinese phones

4 - cloud backups are natively built ( to an extent ) into android.. each OEM though have their own version . I have a pixel and they work well... But different than iPhones.

5 - notches...you can always hide them!!

6 - andoird auto standard ... But some phones connect better than others... My pixel seems very good.. a Sony I had was very good... A Samsung U had wasn't...

Google photos SOOOO much better than apple photos ... So you won't miss that.

You may want to check you tube for videos on moving from iOS to android . Especially about changing your iMessage settings first .. otherwise you will lose messages sent to you after you switch

From a you have said.. I would say check out a pixel 3 or 3xl ( you can hide the notch ) ...the always listening song detection on lock screen is a GREAT wow thing... All my iPhone toting friends and family ( which is ALL of them ) LOVE that feature.

Seems like a Galaxy Note 9 would be beyond perfect for you

Mate, you did not told us where you are. How am i supposed to know that part of the world, in order to give you a good advice ?? In my country, this phone is 350 €. At 200€ is either fake or not working. Always buy from trusty sites. Dont go crying if you receive an samsumg s2 in a xiaomi redmi 7 box
[General Questions and Answers] ~Emaleth~:
Thx, you are right, hehe, sorry. I already went with Motorola One for 170€, not the best, and there is redmi note 7 for the same price but it is a massive upgrade from my old neffos c5 anyway and to be honest, aside power/volume buttons not working half of the time, the biggest issue for me was no updates so i think this will be ok for next 2 years, or 1 in the worst case.

Guys, thanks for your advice.

I was torn between the S10 512Gb, the new Note 10 or a pixel 3.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
No problem mate. Quick tip, always look if the phone you want has active development on xda. I ve got an samsung s6 for example. It already has android 9.0 custom roms. So tehnically it still got a few years before it becomes obsolete

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

For average budget, go with Samsung S7. Ex flagship, samsung still supports it, gonna get Android Q custom roms for sure. Great kernel and battery life
[General Questions and Answers] rXpCH:
I've been using Google phones since the first nexus (except for one time I got an LG 4G).

Right now my Pixel 2 is at the end of his life and I am looking for a replacement.

I was pleased with the Pixel 2 but nothing amazing compared to the high price and the Pixel 3 doesn't bring anything interesting for me to the table.

I am looking primarily for these criteria :

Great battery life (don't want to have to charge it at work everyday if it it was at 100% before leaving for work)

Great screen quality

As close as the default UI as possible (I can always put a custom ROM I would like to not have to do it)

Loud speakers (not for music but mostly video, movies, TV shows)

Good hardware (I don't play games on mobile at all but I would like everything to be fluid and fast)

Fingerprint reader is a nice plus

under 800$ but around 600$ would be best, since I live in Switzerland and the price are always higher

These are things I don't care about :

Camera (rear and front)

Mini-jack input (I have a Fiio X5 for my music)

Wireless charging

I don't mind waiting a bit for a release if it is soon.

The Oneplus 7, Xiaomi mi 9T, latest Huawei or Samsung all seem nice but it's hard to find an actual battery test for each of those phones.

I only briefly tested a Samsung but I know I don't like their third party UI. On the other hand I never tested a Xiaomi or a Huawei.

[MENTION=2866226]rXpCH[/MENTION]: What about Motorola One Pro (Zoom)? It should have pure Android and it should be released soon. But I don't know about wireless charging, if it supports it or not.

[General Questions and Answers] rXpCH:
I'll look into it and seem fine but no date yet so it depends on how much time the pixel 2 can survive.

How about phone that have a release date or are out ? (PS : I updated my post to make something a bit clearer)

[General Questions and Answers] silverbluep:
My current sony xperia xa2 seems to be broken. I will send it in for repairs, but I suspect the repairs will cost me a great deal (since I unlocked the bootloader and voided the warranty) Also, Sony service is horrible. (I am in USA, and using T-Mobile)

So I think I am in the market for a new phone! I am a bit overwhelmed with choices ATM. Here is what I am looking for;

* Good battery life. I use bluetooth often (drive a lot) and have a garmin watch that I pair with. Other than that I don't use the phone that often. Though I will need it to last on the occasional hiking trip for a few days.

* Good lineageos + microg support. I don't want Gapps on my phone.

* Decent camera experience. I don't need extremely good photos but the photo quality on XA2 is atrocious and I am visibly disgusted by it. I rather not have to do that again.

* Fingerprint reader, I like being able to unlock it with a touch.

* SD card support. I have a 512 GB sd card that I use with my phones. This is mission critical for me, as I use my phone as a backup with syncthing.

I would like to have, though not that crucial;

* Durable. I would LOVE to go 3+ years on the same phone for a change.

* Headphone jack. Most audio I listen to from the phone is through bluetooth in the car. Although I am a borderline audiophile, I would not miss this feature that much, and can get a standalone player if needed.

* Wireless charging. It is nice but not mission critical. I use a magnetic mount in the car, so with wireless charging I do not need a metal sticker to go with it.

Price range wise, I am flexible and willing to pay money for quality. In my mind I can pay 500$ for a phone, but that is subject to realistic constraints. Price is not a big issue though.

Good phone for rooting.

I need to know a good phone for rooting that includes all of the latest magisk features and is also very secure. (where I would still be able to use my google pay etc)

My Samsung s9+ was a bad variant. gw-950, so now I'm looking for some cheaper phones where they are more straight forward to root/flash and not have to go through the pain of having some one-off horrible variant.

After P10 Plus replacement

Hi folks,

I'm looking into getting a smartphone that replaces my cracked P10 Plus.

At the meantime, I'm using my Mom's Mi A2 lite - which is awesome in terms of size but the camera and performance are crappy.

The main way I'm picking a phone is by the following aspects:

MUST: not higher than 150mm :) - the Mi A2 lite is 147 - sweet!

1. Good camera

2. Audio jack and SD-card extension ability

3. Good usability

looking at the smartphone list, the only one that answers it with the limitation of 300 USD mark is the HONOR 10.

Before buying it, any idea which other phones should I look at?

Thanks,

I have been using Asus Max Pro M2, but it's having some minor issues. Hence, looking for new new android phone. I'm waiting for asus rog phone 2 to launch. if its under 35000 inr, i may go for that. otherwise redmi k20 is looking good to me. i also thought of going for razer phone 2, but it's hardware is kind of on low end considering its cost.

I'm open for other suggestions (android only, no samsung please). i have asus rog phone 2, asus 6z, redmi k20 in mind right now but if there's something at lower end, i can go for that too.

Vanilla Android

Sprint

Replaceable Battery

SD Card

1-2 options. Not looking for expensive, but I do not really care about specs because I do not use android as a computer, just a phone. The area I am in has no 5g...

Anyone know if I can take advantage of the $25 kick start plan, and hotspot (hack) that thing to use sprint data for anything?

hiii..

I wanted to buy Xiaomi Mi A3 with Android One, but they released really a lite version without NFC. So I think about Motorola Moto One Vision. Any experiences with it? I use smartphones as multimedia device, so I'd like good photos, good audio output as well. How is running Exynos on it? :confused:

Or is any chance that Xiaomi will release any Mi A3 Pro with better parameters? :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] LooieENG:
Hi everyone. Just wondering if the Pixel 3A will feel like a good upgrade (worth the £300) coming from an A2 Lite.

I have the A2 Lite right now. The specs are pretty good for the price, however it does feel slow from time to time in general use. Also it seems like the A3 is a downgrade with just a 720p screen, so I was thinking about getting a Pixel 3A.

The screen is similar size and resolution to the Pixel 3A but IPS not AMOLED, and it seems like the 3A suffers from the screen changing to purple/pink over time?

So other than the camera and better CPU/GPU/RAM are there any other improvements? I'm sure it will be an improvement, but Is it worth the money?

You may consider to save money with a Pocophone that also rocks when running gcamera and Lineage OS, besides, for the price that you can get an Iphone 8 or 8+, you can get a new Pixel 3a for example or a used 3XL :highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Since nowadays most phones are beyond 6 inches, I could recommend Samsung S6 or S7

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

You could go for Samsung S8. It has a plethora of custom roms. Replaceable battery in 2019? Surely a myth.
[General Questions and Answers] cdoublejj:
Headphone Jack

MUST HAVE Micro SD slot OR it will have to have 512gb or 1Tb models available (probably more than $600??)

6-8gb RAM

OLED

Decent battery

Android 9

A decent radio and reception (why i didn't get the Samsung A50/A70) *ATT*

In the $300-$500 range would be nice.

EDIT: i often work out side of cell and internet reception and my music collection alone is 220+ GB
[General Questions and Answers] colaxda:

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Mate, 512 GB on mobile seems a waste of money. I only got 64 and just on one occasion were they fully used, in 3 years.

You could go with the OnePlus 7 Pro, the 12 GB of ram version. It has 256 GB of storage

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

Well, the OnePlus 7 pro works nicely in both USA and Canada (https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/CA/oneplus-7-pro)
[General Questions and Answers] cdoublejj:
I looked at one plus no SD card slot. I often work outside of cell and internet/wifi reception and my MP3 collection is 220+ GB alone.
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
You could go with S9+. Also, another tip, using the M4A instead of MP3 keeps the quality while reducing the size by half.
[General Questions and Answers] cdoublejj:
well the S9+ does tick all the boxes and it's not $800 and it's only a year old
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Indeed. Word of advice, most of the time go with flagships. There's a higher chance to have reliable custom roms (Operating System) than other versions, like A60 and so.

For example, my 2015 Samsung S6 runs a Android 9 custom rom. There's a high chance I could run Android Q as well.
[General Questions and Answers] cdoublejj:
i considered my oneplus x a mid range but, OP is known for allowing unlocked boot loaders it's shame they are anti SD card and headphone jack and only sell 128gb phones. the S9+ fits the bill it's no more than 1 year old and definitely under $800
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyMurph:
Needs:

Rootable (and can use xposed/magisk)

Two sim card slots

SD card slot if possible (it can't replace one of the sim card slots)

If no SD card slot then at least 64gb of space

Decent battery

About $500/600 (Canadian)

Most importantly a very good camera

The only reservation that I would have in buying any phone is a Huawei phone (due to the ban) as I ma unsure if it would effect anything in the future.

oh man the S9+ is HUGE!! it's 6.2 inches i can barley operate my 5" OnePlus X with one hand even with a pop socket. :( what a load of horse crap i hope the phone industry dies in a fire.

EDIT: the S9+ 128gb ca not be found in new condition unless it's $800 USD. (can get an a new S10 for $800) which means you won't get very much use out of a used one. i swear, sweat or body oils get in cell phones or something and make them fail pre maturely.
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
I feel you man, had a hard time to upgrade from 4.7 to a 5.1 inch screen. And nowadays everything is 6+ inches. People love to have some giant phones. The problem is that there are slim chances to find a phone with 6+ gigs of ram below 6 inches. They are a dying breed

I was hoping to get a low end phone that could run LineageOS, GrapheneOS, or some other secure/privacy OS other than Google's Android OS. Be nice if it was rootable and prepaid.

Lowend under 100 preferable.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
Root means you are less secure. If you want secure, make your phone encrypted. Also, don't use untrustworthy apps.

As you can tell I never installed GrapheneOS or or LineageOS, but I figured I would need to root it. Does that mean less secure? I don't know. Low budget because I mess up the phone I wouldn't be out much. USD my apologies.
[General Questions and Answers] cdoublejj:
grabbed 2 used S9+s 256gbs For $379 USD each, hopefully they aren't internally corroded, short battery having junk. with 256gb i can probably used adopted storage on a 400+gb microsd without the main memory filling up. (apps2SD on a rooted phone did it better!!!)

EDIT: do all S9+s support dual sim?
[General Questions and Answers] niyonsv:
My current phone is Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus, 4GB 64GB version. My friend has a OnePlus 6T, 8GB 128GB phone with original screen guard and cover. The phone is still in warranty period and in a very good condition. I can buy this phone for ₹ 24,000 (~334 USD) from him and my budget is around that. I'm also a fan of ROM developments, tweaking, and so on. I also found that the development of OnePlus 6T is still there with strong base in XDA.

Please let me know if this deal is a good one or not. Also please tell if any other phone is there at this range with support in XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] Raresh T:
The moment you root the phone, you accept all risks including the fact that malware or Spyware can get root access easier. Root access equals master control, admin control. If you want secure, don't root the phone. Encrypt it. You choose how expensive is your privacy. 100$ is a small price. If I were to buy a phone, having in mind privacy and security, I would buy an iPhone.

[General Questions and Answers] piffskaya:
Google Pixel still worth buying in 2019?

Hi there,

I hope I found the correct post for my question.

I am quite new to custom ROMS. I managed to get lineage 16 on my Leeco Le pro 3, but only thanks to a very good guide with screenshots I found online.

One week ago I bought the Huawei Mediapark M5. Now I read that this device will not get Android 10 and since bought on Amazon, I'm thinking about returning it and buying the Google Pixel C instead. Used, on eBay.

Do you think this is a good idea or is this device simply too old? I love the idea of the keyboard attached with magnets but I fear it might get discontinued even by lineage os too quickly. The Huawei has 4GB, the Pixel C has 3GB Ram.

What do you guys think? Any input is much appreciated.

Best regards

Piffi
[General Questions and Answers] lu99ke:
To be fair, there are plenty of phones who are the same physical size but the screen itself has grown with shrunken bezels.

S7 = 5.1' screen vs S10 6.1' screen... Yet the S10 is less than 1mm wider and only 7mm taller...

One Plus 5 = 5.5' screen vs One Plus 7 6.4' screen... Yet OP 7 is less than 1mm wider and only 3.5mm taller .. you would be hard pressed to notice the difference with a blind fold on...

Given the changed in bezels in the last couple of years, screen size does not directly translate to phone size like it used to.
[General Questions and Answers] 350Rocket:
That sounds like a good deal to me. I had a OnePlus 5 I bought new, used for almost 2 years until I accidentally jumped in the ocean with it in my pocket on vacation. Now I'm using an original pixel XL and except for the camera the OnePlus was the better phone.

I would buy a OnePlus 6 or 6t in a second if I could afford it. Preferably the 6 because it has a headphone jack.
[General Questions and Answers] niyonsv:
Thanks for the reply. My budget is low for a new OnePlus, that's why I'm sticking to a pre-owned one. I already have a wireless earphone so I won't mind if the phone haven't any 3.5mm jack. Also I like the teardrop notch of OnePlus, and I think it is a beautifully designed one than any others.

I started a thread in Z2 Plus forum asking suggestion for a new phone. Please read that and give suggestion if you have anything.
