Distortedreasoning Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 my old phone is annoying the crap out of me and i want something new. which one should i go with?
Rumb0 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I have a Moto G4. It's p good; not the best but it still gets the job done better than most phones for its price range.
Distortedreasoning Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 i heard many good things about those phones. very good value for their money is what most people say. i could check them out.
Rumb0 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 The phones are good b/c they don't come with manufacturer bloat, but you have to download some of the necessity apps from the play store, Motorola's File Manager being one of them. Got rid of Google's shit apps and the phone runs smoother.
StarPanda Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Buy a galaxy s7 or 6 will still do the job Don't waste money on the newest thing too expensive Unless you want to have the newest technology
Master-Debater131 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I have an S7 and love it Just dont get a note........itll blow up
Master-Debater131 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Google Pixel XL. Is Pixel that good? Samsung is getting ready to be idiotic and get rid of a headphone jack like Apple did so Im looking into changing phones with next years models.

Rumb0 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 What do you mean "remove a headphone jack"? They're removing the 3.5mm headphone jack on the next line of Galaxy's, similar to how Apple did with the iPhone7. Honestly don't know how it could be anymore clear than that

Honestly don't know how it could be anymore clear than that Because removing the headphone jack on cell phones from not one, but two HUGE cell phone manufacturers doesn't make any sense at all, since everyone and their mother loves plugging in their earbuds to their phone and listening to music. I get the feeling there's some info I'm not getting, because this just doesn't seem possible; it's company suicide. Also I don't know the story on what Apple did.

Apple did it for their new phones and you have to buy their "Aid Buds" or whatever they are calling them for 60$ a pop Samsung is getting ready to do the same thing where you cannot use your own headphones but have to use their propitiatory products. It wont work of course, but they will try it. Ive had a Samsung ever since i got a smartphone, have the watch to and really like it. If they pull this sort of BS though then im done with them and moving on to whoever gives me a product I want, one that has a headphone jack.

Ok, I looked up what they did with the iPhone 7, and yes there was information I wasn't getting before: You plug the earbuds into the same jack as the charger. It apparently came with an adapter to use old style headphones, which is not so bad in my mind. Though it definitely does suck that you can't charge and use the headphones at the same time.
jackiemarie90 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I have a crack screen. Eldy wants to get me a new one but I feel bad about it, even though he makes more money than me. lol what kind do you want.

According to an article I found on the iPhone 7 headphone jack controversy, you don't have to buy the expensive air buds, but the phone comes with an adapter to plug into the same port you charge the phone with and that allows you to use the traditional headphone jack. http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/iphone-7-headphone-jack-the-story-so-far-1324866 No idea what's up with Samsung.
CAC Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Is Pixel that good? Well from all I've read it seems to be, I wish I could afford one, but I'm not going back to shitty Verizon to get a good deal on one. I need a new phone.

Its still really stupid IMO IF they want to have wireless headphones, fine, have them. But dont try to force them onto people. Im perfectly happy using my current headphones that have to plug into something. Really it looks like Samsung and Apple are just trying to find a way to make people spend even more money on their crap.
Master-Debater131 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Well from all I've read it seems to be, I wish I could afford one, but I'm not going back to shitty Verizon to get a good deal on one. I need a new phone. Yea they are pretty expensive. I have Verizon......not a huge fan
CAC Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Yea they are pretty expensive. I have Verizon......not a huge fan T-Mobile cheaper and got grandfathered into an unlimited plan they don't offer anymore.
Master-Debater131 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 T-Mobile cheaper and got grandfathered into an unlimited plan they don't offer anymore. I would never change then
CAC Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I would never change then I'm trying not to, but my current phone, a Nexus 5, is old and over heating/freezing up. I don't have the sheckles for a good new one.

Master-Debater131 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 No I don't think I will, eh I'm not sure. Oh Well thats a bunch of crap!
Rumb0 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I was mad when manufacturers started phasing out the 5.5mm jacks. Loved the sound on those behemoths.
MEXobiologist Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 buy me one too? mine is super fucked meow
viperxmns Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I've only used Galaxys, went from S3 to S7, no complaints
fuggnificent Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I love....LOVE...my s6. It gives me zero problems. Had it for 2 years and still have plenty of space much of which i fill with porn. The battery lasts all day but even then it fully charges in 30 minutes. Im kind of afraid of any attempts by samsung to improve on its best features without it catching on fire.
EvilsergE Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 If you have verizon get the pixel. For realz
Naraku4656 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 get a nokia 3310 or similar old nokia phone. you might not be able to do much but you can throw those things into a wood chipper and only get a slight scratch
EvilsergE Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 why? I dont own it personally, but ive seen and read great things about it. I also like google a lot.
Distortedreasoning Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 buy me one too? mine is super fucked meow oh yeah i'll get you one
Distortedreasoning Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 get a nokia 3310 or similar old nokia phone. you might not be able to do much but you can throw those things into a wood chipper and only get a slight scratch i do like durability, especially since half the time i feel like throwing my phone against the wall, a durable phone will come in handy. but those things are so old!
Distortedreasoning Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 I've only used Galaxys, went from S3 to S7, no complaints i really like the look of the s7 edge. it was one of my top choices. I dont own it personally, but ive seen and read great things about it. I also like google a lot. i dont got verizon but will look into the pixel. iphone. dont break it. im a responsible adult O0

Im kind of afraid of any attempts by samsung to improve on its best features without it catching on fire. i already have that as a work phone and i agree. those are very nice when it comes to battery life.
