New Device Suggestion - General Questions and Answers

Hello, dear community. I am not quite sure I am posting in the correct subforum, but please forgive me if I m doing this wrong. So I love my smartphone. I used to have a One Plus One, which at some point stoped reading the sim card, so I was forced to find a replacement. While searching I stumbled uppon LG v10. I remember I really liked this phone when it came out and I was dreaming of purchasing it, so I did. I found it almost new for $200 which seemed to be too good to be true. I loved certain aspects of the phone, but I grew to hate some others. First of all, it was a nightmare to root and put custom stuff on it. Then for some reason, it was a very slow phone, full of lag most of the times. Anyways, a couple of months after the purchase, the phone just died. It entered a boot loop state and now I can't even enter TWRP on it, so I've decided to move on and search for another device. Could you suggest to me any device?
What I put more weight on my devices are:
1. Easy root, good XDA community with custom roms. I love having the latest version of Android even if it has some bugs.
2. Good camera. I guess everyone likes that. I am a photographer and I like to push the limits of my device when it comes to photography.
3. A good bonus would be to be water resistant ip67 would do the job.
4. Budget not more than $400 (used or new)
5. A big battery would be a +
6. 1080p screen resolution is just fine for me.
Thanks in advance,
Theo

Is RedMi Note 2 good enough for me?

Hi all lovely people here, this is my first thread post here on XDA.
My long lived Sony Xperia ZL has failed me, the microphone and sim card has problem thus i'll need to change the whole board which is pretty costly.
Thinking about getting a rather cheap good smartphone and this came to my mind.
I'm a rather light user, i don't play heavy games on it.
Use it for mostly social and love to flash rom and switch between few in a month.
Any fellow user here? I'd love to hear some advice and reviews.
Is Mi a good phone to root and flash roms to? Is it easy?
Any replies will be much appreciated :good:

Any other alternatives to the OnePlus 5T?

Hi first of all Mods if this isnt the right place for this question please move it to the appropriate place.
Trying to get some help here deciding for a phone for my wife, she has been an iPhone user for many years and with the recent iOS 11 issues giving her 6S Plus, shes finally convinced on going to Android.
I have suggested the OnePlus 5T since its as Vanila android as she can have with the exception of the Pixel line up which she is not a fan of.
Trying to see other alternatives in terms of price range and performance that can match the OP5T that'll be under the $800 range, I have suggested the Mate 10 since I have a Mate 9 and have fairly positive experience with it but since the Huawei & AT&T deal was cut, that was out of the question. The Honor V10 looks good on paper but I will wait on it as well, LG V30 is a maybe. She was also looking at the S8 as another alternative as well.$800 would be her prefer limit to spend
Looking forward for your guy's suggestions. Thanks

Best phone for a flashaholic?

Using a op5t as my daily driver, untouched running oreo. However over the past few years I've put many a device in hospital and don't wanna do it to my main phone as I need it working without bugs or issues.
Looking for options for a additional phone I can mess around with that has plenty of support still in XDA, obvs a 2nd hand nexus 6p would be amazing but the ones I'm seeing on eBay are a bit battered, I'd love to buy a brand new phone for my addiction. I honestly miss it all and just want a good machine to play around with?
Moto? Samsung? What would you go with? Without breaking the bank?
Thanks in advance.

I want a backup 2nd Phone - Suggestons?

Hello everyone! I am very new to Android! Recently bought the Mate 10, and I am absolutely in love with Android for the most part. Now I have been thinking about getting a second phone, more so a backup and for my secondary number. Wont see much if any use.
Now I would really prefer to stick to android, have some old Nokia Symbian based phones which are on their last legs and pretty much useless. Anyway, any suggestions would be nice. I dont want to spend much maybe $50-$100 to grab something used??
Thought about the LG V20, Oukitel K10000 (which has a huge 10,000mah batery and priced quite low), not looking for an apple product, not sure but some suggestions would be nice.

There's no real way of knowing this by the image you provided...
Pull the back panel and remove the battery. There should be a white label with the information that will reflect which device that is.
Good Luck!

Yes Watson. Then tell your grand mother what needs to be done before coming and asking for help without any proper info. This is not a support forum
true i tell her how to open a smartphone with 89 years or i leave my job and drive to her about 400 miles.....
A much better deal,:
i ask in a Smartphone Forum, ok it isnt a good deal theres no help, theres only a guy that think he is Sherlock
And the problem is sloved, i registered me in a PC Forum and got the exact name,
weird in Smartphone Forum only 1 Sherlock, in PC Forum Help for Smartphone....

See that is where you are mistaken. This isn't a phone forum. It's a developers forum. Made for and by developers. We cover lots here. Not just phones.
Also there are a few ways to find it. All of which you could have walked her through.
From your sentence structure I will assume you have no business even trying to help your poor grandmother. Not to mention that the front design of that device was used on a dozen different models of phones.
