New phone opinions - General Questions and Answers

I currently have a Nexus 6P. I dropped it a week ago shattering the phone, but I'm looking to get something better. I'm looking for something that has a good processor, adequate storage, good dev support, great camera quality, dual flash F/R cameras, quick updates. I have had a HTC M8 before, so I'm not really interested in the HTC10 nor do I want any Samsung product. What are your ideas on the OnePlus 3T? What's the community like? What's the future of OnePlus devices looking like? I'm not really sure if I want to get a Pixel device either. I'm not really that impressed with Pixel features or the Pixel for that matter. Let's hear some ideas...

[Q] Vote: OnePlus One/ Galaxy Note 3/ Nexus 6

Which one would you go for?
OnePlus One
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Motorola Nexus 6
This really should go in the dedicated 'What should I buy' thread.
At any rate, what are you looking for in the device? The OnePlus One comes with a version of CM, the Nexus 6 is easiest to mod, and the Note 3 offers the Spen and true multitasking but comes with KNOX.

Not what should I buy
I would buy OnePlus One if I had to.
I just wanted to know the opinion of other people.
Ah. Alright.
Why are you not considering the Note 4?
No doubt about it; the One Plus One as it is overall an excellent device containing no bloatware (Samsung), and not too big (Motorola) but updates and support will probably if not all ready stop due to One Plus and Cyanogen splitting but here on XDA you can still find out how to update it
Kinda sad they're already splitting, but yeah, OPO should be the go-to-phone for right now just because of how powerful it is versus the price.

Phone with Most Future CM Support

Hi everyone,
I am planning on buying a new phone and have narrowed my choices down to the OnePlus 2, Moto X Pure (Style), and ASUS ZenFone 2. I chose these phones as they have some of the best specs at some of the lowest prices. My question is this: Out of these phones, which one is likely to have the most future CyanogenMod support? This includes the phone with the most stability and the most updates to the CyanogenMod OS. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. If you feel that there is another phone out there worth considering besides these 3 phones, please feel free to share.
Thanks,
Shadowz1218
I think that you need to go to CM official site and check what is the newest device that exist in there list
If you really want cyanogenmod preloaded zuk z1 is a good phone. I would advice you to stay away from oneplus.. You can also wait for xiaomi mi5 to launch.. It would be a good phone and will get cm support according to me. Moto x is a good choice but I have had bad experiences with motorola.

What's wrong with OnePlus? Also, any word on the ASUS ZenFone 2? I might consider the Xiaomi Mi5 but I kind of need phone now...

Or do you guys suggest waiting until the Google Nexus 5X and 6P are released towards the end of the month? Google Nexus phones are pretty much guaranteed to have strong CM support, right? That plus the fact that it's coming with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
There's a dedicated what should I buy thread here,

Many there to offer opinions. :good:

Potential new purchase

So is the one plus one still a good phone? Im on the edge of picking up one for a spare. I know it's an older device but I love to root/rom and the note 5 is terrible in that department.

Provided the developer base Oneplus one has it is still the best phone. I suppose it will last upto atleast Android O, specs wise Oneplus one is now older and can't compete with some of the phones.
However same goes for those other phones they can't compete Oneplus one with the developer base.

Upgrade options in 2016

What device is next for you and why?
I want quick software updates, fingerprint sensor and good camera. 5X seems to be right choice, but it's not impressive. New HTC is another option.
I also consider buying one of chinese devices (Oneplus, xioami) if they get stable aosp roms. So far HTC seems to be best device around

I am waiting on the rumored 2016 Nexus devices. I am looking for a great camera and wireless charging.
I live in Brazil, theres no upgrade options for my needs here. Just overpriced flagships of the past. If something happens with my n5 will search for a moto just because of aosp support from xda. But probably an old moto x2
I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive

I am waiting for new nexus.
The n5 was the last nexus sold here in brazil, and for a brief time. For some reason nexus 6 wasnt sold here, even with the big success moto have with brazilians. I would consider a Nexus 6 now that google keyboard have the awesome one handed mode

@prog19 Same here, Turkey. Nexus 5 is the last Nexus that sold in Turkey. :/
The One Plus 3 certainly ticks all my boxes. Though very curious if there is going to be a good Nexus 2016.

This year I will change phone as well but for now there is nothing interesting...
waiting for:
1) motorola x 2016
2) one plus 3
3) nexus 2016 <-- probably that will be my phone, so I hope will be nice
New Nexus 6, new Nexus 6 and... new Nexus 6 !!!
Still with my N5, hanging with it...screen already replaced a couple of months ago but few days ago the screen start literally to vanish... turn of the device all night long and it was gone... uff I was already thinking what was the cheaper phone with M that I could buy!! My back cover is getting very loose cause when I open my phone to replace the screen I broke some of the internal holders of the back plate. Also no matter what rom I install, no matter what I do with what apps I install, after a few days I only get 1 to 2 hours of SOT... despite these problems, going to hang till the new nexus is going to be announced !!!
Just hope that they don't screw this time with certain aspects. That they release a even better cam like they did with the current nexus line. Also, hope that SD820 (or other) will do a better, but a better job at battery saving!!!
My N5 power button broke and the G2 was cheap at the time so I went for it. I'm in the same boat for an upgrade. All I want is the following:-
-1080p 5.1" screen
-Tiny bezels (Like the G2)
-SD820
-3GB Ram (Minimum)
-Fingerprint reader on back
-3000 Mha battery
-Stock android
-Plastic construction
-$300 to $400 price tag
I cant believe this phone doesn't already exist. Google really messed up with the 5X. :crying:
For me, it'd be either Moto or the new Nexus(es) coming out in fall.

[India] Oneplus, galaxy s series users. How often do you upgrade or switch?

Hi guys, my old mobile is s8 and I waited 2 years to upgrade to s10 with buds probably because of cost. I kind of want to use note and pixel series in between but couldn't. So here are my questions for discussion
1) How long do you stick to your devices and why?
2) Do you feel the need or urge to try other devices in between?
3) would you use a service where you pay monthly and switch every year or twice every year?
I am currently using galaxy s8 last 2 years.
I really like galaxy s8 with One UI, wireless charging and waterproof.
Now I was thinking to switch but which is the best replacement? or I should stick with is galaxy s8 for another year?
My budget is 50k right now.
I googled new phones like Honor 20 pro, one plus 7, asus 6z and others but none of the phones beat infinity display.
Please lighten up your opinion!
