Not looking to root. Guess I'll just live with ads in apps Just installed it. It blocks ads, but also bugs out 4chin - images won't load and I can't post responses(tells me no connection to host). When I disable the ad shield it starts working. You don't have these problems? >LG v30, android 8

currently have a s5 neo. Have been wanting to upgrade. S8+ is on sale for 700 dollars. Should i pull the trigger?

I have used a Moto E2 4G LTE on AT&T (cricket) in the USA for the last few years and am looking for something better. The Nokia 6.1 seems like a good choice but there are so many phones (Moto G6, Moto X4, all of these weird Chinese phones, iPhones, Samsung...) I just want something with a very long battery life.. at least as long as this, but more power, larger screen, real cameras, not taking over two hours to charge... My budget is unlimited but I just want the best value, not diminishing returns.. I'm surprised that there isn't some list for best value
Adrian Moore
What's a cheap phone with a removeable battery, good LTE coverage (T-Mobile Oahu), and an accessible SIM tray (not requiring taking out the battery to swap it in would be nice) PDANet is fast enough for me and I'm grandfathered in to that Unlimited plan from before they introduced whatever they have now so I'm looking at cancelling my home internet. But I don't want to introduce unneeded wear on my main phone.

>phone from Amazon vs Google fi has a $50 price difference >phone on Amazon is already MSRP
Ok what's the catch, I don't see anything forcing me to sign up for Google fi, why are those versions so much cheaper
If you don't want to root, you can download Blokada. It's the same thing as Adaway, except without root. You can find it on F-Droid
Andrew Walker
Galaxy s5 is good, along with the V20. Neither can have their sims swapped without taking out the battery though. Of the two, the galaxy s5 is cheaper with a better screen, but the V20 has better specs overall. Depending on how you feel about LG, I'd say go for the galaxy, but if slow updates don't bug you, V20 is a good choice.
I do, got it around it around the time two years ago when Amazon was doing the $75 deal. It still works, because I have been Keeping it in it's case.
Colton Garcia
Thanks I'll look into it

Thanks user

>I'm surprised that there isn't some list for best value There is. Kimovil has a breddy gud won. Re: your other retardation, research wat a battery is, its design and how it functions. >I just want something with a very long battery life... >...not taking over two hours to charge... This riddle will then be solved. You can then move onto more advanced topics like componentry and subsystems. >I just want something with a very long battery life.. >more power, larger screen, real camera... These conundrums will become obvious as well as their resolution.
Thomas Nguyen
How does Jow Forums feel about the Motorola Moto Z Force Edition 2nd Gen or Moto Z2 Force at the 375USD TMobile is selling it for? Also, the difficulty level in rooting this device?
Jordan Robinson
Yes I still rock my 7Plus since it came out and no issues whatsoever and in my opinion is the best iPhone.
Elijah Smith
Set up a proxy adblocker you dick
Jordan Brown
Whats the best vpn to use on mobile? While we're at it whats the best vpn to use overall? I trust you Jow Forumsentlemen more than reddit. Its crazy that I have to worry about it simply for browsing this site and shitposting but these are the times we live in. Also recently I was IP range banned when posting on mobile and Im worried about using my workplace's wifi to browse in case some shill drops cheese pizza to derail a thread. I cant even post a stupid picture of a green frog without worrying about being found out and fired for illegal memes.
EVERY SINGLE MICROSD ON AMAZON IS FAKE. EVEN WHEN THE SELLER SAYS "SAMSUNG"... STILL FAKE CHINKSHIT. AND NOT HE GOOD KIND OF CHINKSHIT.
Brody Rogers
>unironically implying good kind of chinkshit exists Ya no
Caleb Flores
700 damn that's a lot of money, if I were you I'd buy it for sure. I heard lg g7 thinq is awesome too with all the google and ai stuff inside it.
Eli Hall
well, as per op, many of the chinkshit phones are suggested. I am returning my grammatically incorrect, low-speed, 128GB SDHC Samsung card from Taiwan tomorrow. Thankfully Amazon will pay for shipping and refunding as far as I can tell. I don't know where to turn to now for Class 3 4k-ready microSD. Amazon's store isn't trustworthy.
Matthew Cruz
seems a bit chinky? idk
Christian Bell
holy shit, kimovil is awesome! I really like the top 10 stuff from them, really updated.
Easton Peterson
>Amazon's store isn't trustworthy. Ya, I'm getting that feel, too user. I don't imagine that scamazon has much longer of a ride as it has for years now. Happened to the best of em, ebay, craigs, et al. All good things... I only found that site recently and wat I can make out is it's quite the excellent resource as far as current mobile phones related go.
Samuel Brown
why is the s8 max sd size 256GB and the s9 max sd size is 400GB? It all seems limited by software/arbitrary. Or was 256 just the biggest storage at that time, and the phone memory controller supports the higher cards?
Tyler Jones
Any advice on what phone I should get?
I'll be using it with Boost Mobile in USA. I'd like to not go much over $300. For the size, I don't mind much as long as my rather large hands can use it.
For the features, I guess a decent battery and camera. I plan on using it for Pokemon GO, texting, reading papers, and maybe snapchat.
Jeremiah Davis
Also, I have a 64 gb SD card I'd like to use with it.
Nathaniel Bell
Is there any way to expedite unlocking a Xiaomi Note 5? There was a bug with 2 accounts before but it seems it got patched. I haven't tested.
I got mine today and the seller accidentally sent me a unit with the Chinese ROM on it. The phone works perfectly, but it has no google services.
If I have to wait, what should I use in the meantime to get apps? Mi store is chinked out of it's mind.
Christian Campbell
My S6 is failing me with its deteriorating battery and tendency to restart itself every now and then. Is the Nokia 7 plus a good upgrade?
Brayden Allen
Is the Moto X4 still a worthwhile phone?
Main concern is custom ROM support once it stops getting official updates. I'm guessing it's still growing?
Colton Gonzalez
opinions on the Sony Xperia line Jow Forumsentoomen?
is it worth it to get the XZ1, or XZs, or XZ premium?
Parker Jenkins
is the essential phone worth it in 2018
Samuel Bailey
>what should I use in the meantime to get apps f-droid->yalp store
Logan Campbell
This is likely due to script blocking.
Josiah Howard
Contemplating grabbing a refurb s7 active for ~320.
Any other comparably durable phones in the 250-350 price range that I should look at? I'm not against spending more on the phone, but I don't need absurd amounts of power.
If there's something saying "with special offers" they're subsidized by showing Amazon ads on the Lockscreen
Luke Perez
Where do I buy the Asus max pro M1? Looking to upgrade from Nokia 7 plus, and it seems like my dream phone, but it's only available on some shitty pajeet site.
Ethan Martinez
You need to add more flour and slightly more butter
Owen Sanders
I'm a brainlet so I just use firefox with ublock origin.
William Davis
I was planning on getting an XZP but the touch issue was a deal breaker for me. Not sure if it's still present on XZ1 but I've heard it has another set of problems regarding screen quality.
Ryan Martin

Charles Morales
iPhone SE, might need to increase your budget a bit, at least here it goes for 269€ for the base model
Colton Robinson
Probably gets asked a million times , but what android phone will get me the longest period of vendor updates ?
Isaiah Bell
Probably a Pixel.
Charles Parker
Something Xiaomi
Mi3 got released in 2013 and just got MIUI10 beta + latest android security patch
Elijah Edwards
Really? Wow, I was expecting Pixel but I'm surprised Xiaomi offer decent updates because my Huawei got hardly any at all before it was abandoned
Joshua Young
This is good to know, I was thinking of getting the P20 but if there won't be any updates I don't think I'll bother.
Oliver Smith
did you buy it from a third party? if it's not at least amazon fulfilled then it's most likely fake
Andrew Howard
Not sure how they treat their flagships, I had a MediaPad X2 which was a bit more niche
Lincoln Edwards
what app do you use for Jow Forums? clover has started bugging out i cant add new boards and images dont always load
Owen Gonzalez
>my Huawei got hardly any at all before it was abandoned Threat to national security. Get it? Before becoming a prolific manufacturer of mobile phones they were busy trying to nail down dotgov contracts to install mass amounts of network h/w complete with tainted firmwares. Wanna take another guess as to why no updates?

What is the fucking point if they made it huge like an xbox?
I'm looking for a midrange priced smartphone in Hungary, the budget is around 250eu. For this price or less, the ones I'm looking at are the Huawei P10(although I had bad experiences with the brand before), the LG G6(this is appealing because of the custom roms and ip68) and maybe an IPhone 6S(which just works). Which one of these would you recommend?
>Huawei P10(although I had bad experiences with the brand before) You already answered your own question. Also, permanently locked bootloader and only a 3200 mAh battery. >the LG G6(this is appealing because of the custom roms and ip68) Only a 100 mAh bigger battery and perhaps prone to bootloops. I wouldn't gamble on it.
Jacob Wood
For some reason I just hate the brand huawei because of emui and I have to flash custom rom. Since you now can't unlock bl because of their new rules, I don't recommend them anymore, for me it's not even android anymore when you can't root, change kernel/rom and stuck with emui. I recommend lg g6 because I used to have it. Just solid all around phone, really nice display and the micro vibration that just feel comfy when you type stuff. I have never tested iphone 6s so can't say much.
>prone to bootloop No. This is just rumor since so many asked because of lg previous device which sold on us carrier. I have never experienced or seen any of my family g6 bootloop. My sister and dad uses lg g6.
Benjamin Martinez
you'll be called a handlet, but it seems iPhone SE or Sony XZ2 Compact are the only decent options if you dont want a fuckhuge phone
Hudson Ramirez
why the fuck are they making such huge phones i just want a bezel less 5.5 inch phone the only phone that looks almost like what i want is the nubia Z17s
Aaron Davis
Is dns66 even developed any more? There hasn't been an update in months and recently it lets more and more ads through.
Nicholas Watson
Thanks. The reason I'm leaning towards the LG is the relatively good custom rom compatibility and nice lifestyle features. Although I'll look out for the Nokia 7 Plus an Xiaomi Note 3 too, maybe I can find those around this pricerange.
Dominic Moore
So my Mi4 LTE finally started giving up after over 3 years, which means a new phone for me. I'm considering the Huawei P20 lite, all reviews say it's a good option at the budget. Any alternatives I should consider? My only requirements are that the phone must be dual sim, have a somewhat good camera and not be fuckhuge (not a handlet, just seriously dislike the phablet trend). Thanks
Will this chinkphone ever come to the US or will Trump's bullshit mean we have to import it with chink wavelengths and get screwed over?
Carter Hall
trump doesn't have anything to do with this, they just only sell it in china and it's really easy to buy it directly from china
Carter Johnson
I mean like if Trump's ban on companies like ZTE will affect these guys. Also buying from the chinks is fine, but the bands probably won't work with many/most US carriers like usual
Any good phones on amazon uk under £150? Dont know shit about them but cousin keeps breaking his phone so need a replacement quick. Have looked at what come under searches but not sure.
Bentley Anderson
Yeah and the Google fi version is even cheaper than those Amazon subsidized versions, I want to know what's the catch to those that makes them that price compares to subsidized versions
Lucas Cooper
I didn't deny the previous model prone to bootloop. I said because of the previous model have bootloop issue, there's rumor that lg g6 have bootloop issue. I didn't encounter bootloop on lg g6 since I bought last, I already gave it to my family members, still no issue. >people wouldn't jump to buy the next iteration exactly, hence the rumors on the lg g6
Daniel Taylor
>he fell for the notch meme
Julian Thompson
Why do you care so much about updates? Who gives a fuck if XY phone gets 1-2 month late updates. It means less than nothing. I'd rather have a better screen, build and performance than shitty Pixel XL plastic phone
Thomas Baker
>why do you care so much about security on a device that holds all your personal information
Carson Sanchez
This year was one disappointment after another: >lenovo z5 was a blatant lie >mi mix 2s just a new camera >one plus 6 NOTCHED.COM >mi 8 notch shit iphone x copycat >vivo apex(nex) huge ass fuck
I'm so glad I got the S9 and didn't fall for any memes
Eli Kelly
All your personal information is on botnet server already
Connor Wood
It is such a passing fad, bezelless is coming and all these notch phones look retarded now and will look even moreso in the near future
Landon Reed
my pictures and notes aren't
Jonathan Myers
>yes I care about updates for support and security. But I don't mind if it 1 or 2 months late update. Yes I prefer better spec over updates. Yes I agree pixel xl is suck overpriced.
you're saying what everyone saying
Carter Ortiz
Bezelless needs to fuck off and die too, the proper way to go is thin bezels at the top and bottom so you have something to hold on to in landscape mode.
Ethan Cox
Mi Max 3 will save us.
