Any Phone Will Do

I love my Motorola Razr... any newer version of the device is awesome too :) --- definitely recommend buying it.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

I'm thinking of getting a Windows Phone 8 here soon though... as much as I love rooting / flashing my hardware, I'm also a pretty big supporter of Microsoft.

And unfortunately no CM Support as of now!

But recently S Advance got it's own sub-forum.

And a guy has started CM development from scratch!

So nothing as of yet, but you can be sure development will proceed :fingers-crossed:

iphone replica

Hi again, posted in the wrong section first, but found it now, thanks TeeJay.

So I was wondering what would be the best iphone replica out there to buy for around €150 or $200.

I know a few models already like the lizi, goophone, gooapple, w007 .. but I just can't say cause some have android 2.3 and some 4.0, some have retina, some don't, some their camera are better then others and so on ..

I'd also like it to be "compatible" with original iphone protection cases if possible. Cause for example the W007 has the buttons on the other side.

I'm asking because I got fooled with the previous phone I had , Samsung Wave 5330 which had bada os. Wasn't informed at all.. and like giulpip said, it might be a bit foolish to do , but I really like the looks of the iphone 4/4S/5 and some friend of mine has the W007 but he suggested the 5 or note replica .. but I really like the 4 model and just want the best out of it.

Hope you guys can help me out, you're the pro's !

PS: I was thinking about this one first : Gooapple V5+ 3.5 Inch Retina Screen 8MP Camera 1GHz CPU

Decent (used) device for under £130, ARM7, 1GHZ, active community, 4inch+...

Hi everyone! :laugh:

I'm looking to purchase a decent device (at least 1ghz processor, decent RAM, preferably at least 4inch screen) for under £130.

It can be in used condition, this frees up the criteria also.

So far I've checked out the Nexus S (£120-150 used) the Galaxy S (£90-110) and the Desire HD (£100-120), but I'm having trouble finding out which is the best choice.

The phone should also have an active community so I can install the latest CM or stable ROM, and be viably supported in future. Also I would like to know which phones are the most easy to port to, modify, etc. Along with any other important aspects I should take into consideration.

Looking for suggestions, please!

TL;DR: Need good device for under £130 used, active community, long-term, other important factors.

Thank you very much!

is it good buy now a galaxy s2? or is better go with s3? or another phone similar?
[General Questions and Answers] mfsr98:
Of course everyone will say buy the S3 xD you know your budget.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

The best tablet for newbies is the iPad.

Just kidding, but get her a Note 2 since it's the best tab on the market now, but it depends on your budget too.
[General Questions and Answers] djsolidsnake86:
well it does have the screen and the cpu more big, but for the rest is the same of the s2!

And user interface, and GPU, dont forget that screen has better resolution, it will get more support from samsung since it's new and it will also get more support here.

What device to buy?

hello all! I am looking to buy a new android device within the next few weeks.

My budget is 400$ but that is only an idea, I will pay more for the right phone. I am not new to the android os, but all the android phones i have owned (htc desire z and htc desire) have been second hand, so this time i want to do things right and own my baby from the begining!

Phones i have considered are the galaxy s3 and the htc one x. i like the removable battery and expansion via sd card on the s3, so it is winning in my head at the moment. if anyone can through a few more phones into the mix for me to think about or anything that is coming out in the near future would be greatly appreciated! I am also interested in using custom roms and rooting so the amount of content available regarding this is important!

Thanks in advance!

There is nothing yet to replace Nexus 7 (2013), right?

I am using a Nexus 7 (2013). I like the size, I like the high-resolution screen, and I like the stereo speakers. But it now is kind of slow. So, basically, I want a similar tablet but just with a better CPU.

More specifically:

OS: Either the manufacturer is expected to provide updates for a couple of years from now, or there is an active custom ROM development

CPU: Significantly faster than Nexus 7. Can play H.265 video of 1080p.

Size: Ideally, 7 inches. But can be up to 8 inches.

Screen, RAM, Storage, Speakers: Should not be worse than that of Nexus 7.

I have been searching for a tablet like that for months, but could not find any. NVidia Shield was close, but some reviews said the screen quality was worse than that of Nexus 7. There is no such tablet to meet my needs yet, or have I missed something?

Redmi 3 Pro vs. Mi4c

Hello

I wanted a phone with a good performance and decend battery life under 200€. So Im choosing between these two. They both has 3gb RAM and 32gb memory. But Redmi 3 pro has an excellent 4000mAh battery and metal body. Mi4c has on the other hand full hd display and performs better thanks to better hardware, has wi-fi ac, usb-c connector but the battery has 3000mAh.

So I would like to ask those who owned these phones or had some experience with them. Is it worth to sacrifice the battery and metal body to get better performing Mi4c? Is the performance gap noticable? Or is it that little of a difference that it would be more worth for me grabbing redmi 3 pro with better battery and body?

Thanks a lot.

2 Options

One Plus 3 or the S7

I am currently using the Galaxy S5 (I know it's been a while) I would like some help on what to choose. I am currently looking at 2 handsets OnePlus 3 and the Galaxy S7 Here's some info on what i Mostly use my phone for:

1. Texting

2. Browsing

3. Watching videos on YouTube

4. Light gaming on the way to work like Subway surfers.

Also i have been reading some benchmarks and in most the OnePlus 3 is beating the S7 but most people are saying that they don't make a difference can someone elaborate or even debunk this?
[General Questions and Answers] FiveOhFour:
Need to decide which to buy for my brother for Verizon. Moto G4/Moto E/or slightly older Galaxy S5/HTC One M8/LG G3/Moto DROID Turbo XT1254, but am also open to other suggestions.

I'm just wondering if a Moto G4 is better or one of the above mentioned older premium phones. Its a phone to be given to my brother for use on Verizon so he can keep in touch with my sick mom and the rest of the family more often. From looking at a benchmark site they all seem to score about the same with the exception of the S5 which scores slightly higher, but i'm not sure how good of an indicator that is for real world use/performance.

My brother doesn't even have a cell phone right now, and has actually never owned a smartphone in his life, the last he had was a feature phone with a keyboard a few years ago, he's struggling to get his life together at age 26. So anything is a step up obviously, but i don't want his phone to be complete crap either, i'm torn between something like the budget Moto E and options like the others i listed, I think the Moto E would certainly suffice but ironically the biggest thing that had me shy away from that was the 5MP camera as i wanted him to be able to take decent pics to send to my mom
[General Questions and Answers] FiveOhFour:
i'm no expert and i know this won't help much but given that you can't really go wrong between your choices, i will say this, personally i find the S7 to feel MUCH better in the hand. Now whether thats worth the cost difference is another matter.

Looking for a good phone around 400€ (Germany) which has a active developer community on here and either a 6.0 AOSP or Cyanogenmod ROM in active dev. and working.

[General Questions and Answers] KyoouN:
Sup. Wanted a new phone, mainly cause the Oneplus One does not support the LTE 800 band which is kinda important here in Germany. Price range: Around 400€, maybe 450 if it's worth the price. The obvious choice would be the Oneplus 3 but I heard alot of bad things with its battery life so I am super unsure of whether to get the OP3 or not. Are there any competitors to the OP3? I like the size (5,5", can be a bit smaller but not much bigger!) and the fingerprint scanner especially - the only downside really would be the "bad" ? battery. How bad is it? Especially compared to the Oneplus One? What other phones are out there?

thanks!

I can't decide between ZTE Axon Mini Premium (price in my country 209,99 € on Amazon) and ZTE Blade V7 Lite (price in my country 179,99 €).

You can compare their specs on GSM Arena (I can't insert a link to it, unfortunately).

I know it looks obvious that the Axon is far better in many aspects but I like way more the V7's design and the possibility fo air gestures.

Another thing that haunts me is the fact that the V7 does not have a gyroscope... which if I'm correct is needed if you want to play Pokémon GO in AR mode.

What would you suggest? Are they rootable and is it possible to have custom ROMs on them?

I'm open to other phones suggestions if the price is around 200 € and it has a design similar to the V7.

There are android fans and there are iOS fans.. :p the fight between it wont stop.. if i would be in ur position i would use Note 5 .. one main reason for using android is its open source development.. there are plenty of things around here on XDA to make our phone look more fancy.. n one main reason to use to iOS, is its CAMERA.. out of all the phones iOS has one of the best camera quality.

Anyway that was my opinion.

and here is in the detail comparison between both of them.. you can choose accordingly.. i think this will be enough to make u decide to which one to choose.

if u are concerned with design n u want features too go for One plus X, moto g4 plus or lenevo zuk z1.

here are some pros n cons if u buy OPX, Moto g4+ or lenevo zuk z1

Pros:

1 - more features than ZTE blade v7 lite.

2 - better design than ZTE blade v7 lite (according to me).

3 - price lesser than ZTE blade v7 lite (in my country)

4 - root support n official cyanogen mod and oxygen OS available (sure for OPX, pretty sure rooting is available for moto n lenevo too)

5 - has development section.(sure for OPX)

Cons:

i don't see any.

here is in detail comparison for all the 5 phones. (two diff links, since only 4 phones can compare at a time)

I have basically the same question as this post, which nobody answered.

My Nexus 7 2013 has been awesome as far as specs and size and XDA support. Now I dropped it and shattered the screen. It was getting way too slow for standard multi-tasking anyway, even with barebones ROM and Greenify, etc.

So what is a good N7 (2013) replacement? Most important to me in this order:

Price

Active XDA Development

RAM

Screen Size & Quality

Storage Capacity & Expandability (something the N7 lacked)

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] yourrealking:
I have been searching for this for over a year now, and could not find anything. I think my requirements are fewer than yours because I do not mind the price and storage capacity & expandability (I stream.), yet I could not find anything.

Galaxy Tab S 8.4 was close, but it had the speakers at weird places and its CPU was the same as Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, which I have and is slow. Asus's tablet was hardware-wise very similar to Nexus 7 (because Asus made Nexus 7), but it had a locked bootloader which makes it impossible to install custom ROM.

So, my only hope is the rumoured Nexus 7 2016 edition... But frankly I have a low hope because there was rumoured Nexus 7 2015 edition, too, and it never realised.
