[Q] Phone broken. Only got $170 to shell. XDA, I need your help!

Hey, so I currently have the Xperia X10... and it's starting to die on me.
Now, looking at the current market... any phone better than the x10 (unlocked) is around $300+.
I can only purchase unlocked, since I don't want those annoying data plans.
However... I've been thinking about downgrading and getting an Xperia X1.
That was my dream phone before I foolishly sold it.
Does anyone know how well android runs on it? And do you think it's worth getting that for $170?
I also like dual booting!
Also,
is this a legitimate source to buy it?

Since it's coming from China, I'm afraid it might not be genuine.
My primary reason for choosing this phone is for it's aesthetic appeal.
Thanks!

[Q] Good Android phone for less than $150?

What's a decent phone available for $150 or less? It must be Android and preferably have a hardware keyboard.

Thanks!
P.S. IMO the Moto G is the best phone near that price range.:angel:

[Q] 7a vs 7

Hey guys! To all those who have ordered and awaiting their 7a, I would like to know why you are not waiting for the 7? I am in the market for a new phone and I am thinking between the Find 7 variants/Oneplus One/M8. The M8 will probably be last resort if I am not able to get my hands on the other two phones due to timing reasons. Anyways, I would love to hear your guys' thought process(?) or preferences. Thanks in advance!!

There are multiple threads discussing this topic. You only have to look in the Question and answer section, where actually your thread belongs too.

[Completed] New Phone

I know this is stupid...and i may not get any replies over here...
but still giving it a try...
My budget is around 20k (300$), and i needed a phone which i can give it a future update as well. Since Android L is gonna come too, i would really want it in my phone. I'm currently using Huawei Y 200, and it pretty much sucks...! (NO CUSTOM ROMS MADE FOR IT )
so guys please help me out here!!!!!!!!

Hi there,
I'd recommend asking that question in the off-topic section of XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic
Since it doesn't really regard any form of development or needing a phone to be fixed, it is probably best placed there.
You will find lots of keen XDA users who I'm sure will input and tell you what they think.
Good luck!
P.S: I'd go for the Moto G

Help choosing device

Hello all. I am unsure if this question belongs in this sub-forum. I have been through the QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG IN GENERAL post, but i think this is not a Q&A.
So the reason i have this question is that im at a standstill. I was set to buy the Nexus 6, but the size and price made me change my decision.
Anyway, now i have rethink and im undecided between the Nexus 5 and the Oneplus one. The main reason im undecided is related to roms and software.
By looking at the N5 sub-forum here in XDA i see thousands of posts when compared to the OPO. I am worried that even though being a bit less heavy spec-wise the N5 might keep more developers working on it then on the OPO. Therefore more roms and software for the future.
Related to hardware i know the opo has better specs. Rounding up the HW differences what makes me undecided between the two is the RAM and the better battery life.
So iam currently stuck between these two phones and ill have to make a decision soon, i will be buying one of these in about two weeks.
Thank you for everyones help.
Best regards

you can go for samsung note 4 it`s so good

personally, between those two, I'd go with the Nexus 5 (just barely) for the exact reason you said: dev support.
Now if it was Nexus 6 and Oneplus One, I'd go Oneplus no question because of the price difference yet great specs on the One.

not matter what ,if i want to buy a new phone ,i will buy the latest
model for certain brand,if the latest model cannot satisfy my needs with their
price or size ,i will go for the latest model of other brand .that is my suggestion,
guessing samsung latest model is good .

The One Plus One is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the price and runs cyanogenmod which is a fantastic OS

Hello everyone and thank you for the replies.
I have decided to go with the One, i have been going through lots of forum posts lately reading from persons who changed from N5 to One, and in the bigger picture most ppl are calling it a good decision and a improvement.
It seems to me that the N5 is really a good phone, and imo its a better looking phone then the One, but following all my readings, the screen and the Ram in the One make a solid improvement over the N5.
Regarding my biggest concern, the software devs, well im just going to have faith in the One community. :angel: The device already runs one of the most popular roms and i have recently found out that the One is a supported phone for the franco kernel.
All in all i think im doing a good decision.
Right now im crazily sourcing funds to buy it, while i wait for my invite...

Choose OnePlus , it's a monster .
I personally like the Stock Interface more than custom UI's .
