My Lumia 520 Windows phone does that ffs

Windows is highly hated here. Their low end phones are really bad.

Talking about data, I'm on unlimited 4 G,Music,Streaming, what not on reliance Jio for absolutely free for 6 months. It's a promotional offer and it runs until Dec 31. I have no idea how I'll cope after that Laughing

What's the fastest 4g speed in India?

Nowhere near the actual standards. I am getting around 12-16mbps speed, for free. When you read it with Surag streaming in his 64 kb connection 1 year ago this is like godsent.

Samsung can't seem to catch a break with Note 7.

by Bankz Thu Oct 13, 2016 10:54 am

@realgunner lol, that was already present in the lg g2 since 2013

The second galaxy note 7 recall is now official. Samsung should just swallow pride and cancel the whole note7 line and concentrate on making the S8 a monster imo. What a mess this phone has turned out to be ffs.
Infact, they should scrap the whole "NOTE" branding permanently if you ask me.

I'm a Droid hater but Note is their only phone that I'd buy. I've been an iPhone Plus user ever since 6 came onto the scene and I can't imagine myself using a smaller smartphone.

What exactly excites you about the note line? The S-pen? And if yes, what exactly is the attraction about the S-pen that is actually as good as the finger multi-touch system? Just curious tho

I'm going to buy One Plus 3 in march 2017 if Xiaomi Mi5S Plus doesn't arrive in European version with LTE band 20.

Might be getting a new phone soon, what should I get as an Android user?

I've had an LG G2 and then an LG G4 the last four years.

I noticed the G6 and V30 are both like $650-700. Is there any phone that's pretty decent these days that's not that much? Ridiculous these days ffs

by RealGunner Thu Sep 14, 2017 11:01 pm

OnePlus 5

If you buy flagships that are 1 year old when the new version comes up you can get them for like 2/3 the original price or less, and in most instances the improvements are only marginal.

^ I love the way you think and this is what I was looking for

by futbol Sat Sep 16, 2017 8:02 pm

Samsung S8. Incredible camera. I'm not using my Sony Alpha 6000 ever since. 500 something Euros right now but easily the best phone you can get.

Apologies to RG, told BC that his advice was what I was looking for but this was it

Liked what I've read and looked at. I might end up snatching. Don't see the need in spending $600-$750 on getting a flagship high end phone when you can get this which isn't really that much worse at all (if at all). Also the same exact size as my LG G4 at 5.5 inches which I find not too big but also not too small (wouldn't be opposed to smaller but am completely against going bigger).

by futbol Tue Sep 19, 2017 4:16 pm

Currently OnePlus 5 costs 500 Euros in Europe.

Samsung Galaxy S8 costs 540 Euros.

OnePlus 5 doesn't have any earphones included. So basically they cost the same.

In a few years Samsung S8 will have a much higher resale value. Even now Samsung Galaxy S7s sell for 300 Euros or more on eBay.

There is no real advantage in buying a OnePlus unless you are just "anti mainstream" for the sake of it. If it was 350 Euros it would make sense.

Don't know about the pricing in the US of course.

-Notch

Literally unusable

by Mr Nick09 Wed May 16, 2018 11:15 pm

For some reason the only acceptable notch to me is the iphone's, mainly because of the 0 bezels on the chin. The only other phone that does it is the Essential phone.

All those other android phones trying to copy the notch with bezels on the chin are trash

by El Gunner Thu May 17, 2018 4:24 pm

what is a notch?
