[Completed] [Q] Should I buy LG G4 or wait for iphone 6s/7? - XDA Assist

My sony xperia z3 is now dead and I need a new phone and I'm choosing between LG G4 which is now available in the market, or wait for iPhone 6s/7.
LG G4 because I think it is one of the best phones out there available that I can use for years, cool features and camera.
iPhone 6s/7 because I wanted to try something different, I wanted to try ios and since apple is gonna release the new iphone anytime soon, i think its better to wait if I choose apple rather than buy the currently available iPhone 6.
I want a phone that will last for years, a phone that I can bring while traveling without any hassle, good camera, good for games, good for everyday usage, an overall phone for short.

Hi there,
The best way to get opinions on this would be to ask in this thread:

jiayu g3 (chinese smartphones)

hi wanted to ask about buying a chinese smartphone (in particular the jiayu g3)
for the simple reason - it's more affordable!
i'm not looking to root it or do anything tech just want to keep it stock standard. been trying to find out more and mixed reviews. many people seem to like them bc they are easy to root (but like i said that's not a reason i want to invest) also i few people are saying there can be connectivitity problems using it in the uk/out of china with the 3g etc (hard to configure vpn setting or sth)
basically i want a reliable smartphone (at a reasonable price).
is it a case of you get what you pay for - there is a rep of chinese phones having bad build
here in the uk is that the main competetors are samsung iphone sony xperia
i like the adroid os hence dont want to go iphone but i dont like the new samsung galaxy serises (though currently use the galaxy s captivate i897 from the states)
i love the xperia z but its just too big i want a 4-4.5 inch screen
the huawei p6 is very sleekly designed but again not a big name in the uk therfore not sure about investing.....
in terms of design the bbz10 is exactly what i'd go for but i refuse to move to bb os.

Should I upgrade?

I've been rocking a Samsung Galaxy S3 since it came out but my biggest question for you guys out there is, should I upgrade to a Nexus 5? (My only gripes are the non-insertable microSD card, but I'm fine with it). Why or why not?
Of course if you are willing to. There's nothing to loose.
Android 4.4 KitKat,
Advanced Camera,
Body Design,
Specifications and also it's a Google Product, These are the reasons to buy Google Nexus 5 .
Oh.. The Price is also reasonable. :good:

Broke my Htc One, looking for a temporary low-budget phone

Hello,
As the title states, I broke my 1-year-old HTC One, and I'm looking to buy a new temporary low-budget smartphone. (w/o contract)
Having previously broken a relatively high number of devices from numerous brands and types (yes, i'm that clumsy), and currently not willing to splash the cash, I'm just looking for a smartphone, that can simply just run the usual apps, and that would last me at least 5-6 months until a new set of phones are released into the market.
I have a rather decent experience with android devices, so I'd prefer them over Windows phones, but anything would work.
My budget is around 150$, and I'm really unwilling to surpass 200$
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you

Definitely the Moto G! You can pick one up for 150 bucks or so off contract I believe. Although if you have Verizon you can only use the G with their prepaid plans.

New Upcoming Smartphones?

Does anyone know a list of all the next generation high end smartphones that will come up in the next few months?
Im starting university in october and I want to buy a smartphone that will suit my studies (computer science) . I want it to have a high end camera, fast in terms of multitasking (switching between apps fast and get the job done quickly) and maybe with stock Android L .
My current samsung s3 is laggy now..especially all those apps coming from samsung like (gallery,camera,my files etc.) I dont know if they fixed it on the newer versions like the s4 or s5. But I think I want something different this time. Dont tell me about galaxy nexus I dont like it.
So yea I want the stock apps to be fast too..
Any phone recommendations?

The Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 are both old business now; you would probably have a very different experience with any flagship from 2013 or 2014, which for the most part all have more than sufficient hardware. However, if you want to wait for the latest and greatest, there will probably be word of the next Nexus sometime within the next couple months.

Z3+ vs Z5 Compact vs G4 vs chinese phone

hey guyz, i'm interested in buying new phone. i like sony very much although it has a bad software. also i like new chinese phones like xiaomi and meizu, especially meizu. lg g4 is a very good phone so he's also on the list here...
well, i would like a phone that's software is best between these phones, that it hasn't so many bugs or that it's software is going to be updated for some time (didn't like @ sony's software that they forget about "old" phones, so i don't know would it be a good idea to buy Z3+ because it's older than z5compact...
also, it doesn't have to have a spaceshuttle of hardware but i don't wanna lagish phone. don't know where is snapdragon 810 hotter, in Z3+ or Z5 compact....
LG G4 ? i know that it's good, maybe the best of these 3 but it's the oldest one. i'm buying a phone on 24 months rate, so i want a phone that will last or that's price won't fall so quickly.
meizu, xiaomi ? software ? are the phones reliable ?
and what's that about sony's exiting from mobile phone scene ? just a rumour or ... ?
sorry if i'm asking too much, but thank you for helping me
