Hi ! I am hoping someone can offer some help and advice please.
I am currently looking for a 2nd smartphone , my main phone is a Samsung s8+ it is not dual sim , my last phone the One plus 2 was a dual sim .
I am looking for a 2nd smartphone , I am not a brand snob , but I am looking ideally for a 4 inch device or smaller , with great battery life that is pocket sized friendly.
I am happy to import from china etc , but ideally something with a proven track record as opposed to a shot in the dark purchase.
I kind of wanted to go with a dual sim samsung s8+ but they all tended to be import only with no warranty or the UK version was just to expensive , some people might suggest selling the S8+ and going with a Oneplus 5T , but I kinda like my current phone enough to not really want to do that.
TYI

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

Hello,
So i been a nexus 5 user till the phone worked and the screen broke.
worked well for 3-4 years.
Then i shifted to Redmi note 4 [cause i didn't have the budget to get a better phone]
Now im stuck between two phones since these two phones are easy to use in one hand i cant see of any other phones in the same price range
Nokia 8 is costing 29k[450$]
Samsung s7 25k [400$]
I have tried the oneplus 5t it seemed good but i didn't like the camera and its not easy to use in one hand for me. Yes pixel is a great choice but the card i am gonna be using to purchase these two phones isn't supporting the pixel 1 and pixel 2 is out of range.
So basically i am STUCK with these TWO phones only.
My main focus will be manual camera mode
Since both the phones have a decent screen and good battery im ok with that
not much of an audio person.
The problem is nokia 8 seems to be great and i like the camera too but the problem is since its HMD im not sure if the phone will be that durable, i mean the nokia 6 was a nightmare my friend had it and it would overheat and wouldn't function well.
i plan to use my phone for quite sometime 2years and as to nokia, samsung seems to be more reliable.
the problem with samsung is its an old processor [820] vs 835 kinda.
wont the samsung slowdown after a year or so?
Thus im stuck here.
i dont plan on flashing stock roms and stuff.
im just worried about nokias reliability.
Please advice.

Great. thanks
Hello all! Long time no post. Hope all is well.
So I'm looking to get a new android device soon but unfortunately I've no idea which one. Currently I have the Samsung galaxy j3 emerge and I'm a Samsung fan so I've been looking at those. I've come up with a list of things I'd like it to have (feature wise) so if you can give me recommendations based on this, it'd be amazing.
Requirements:
-Carrier: unlocked or able to be used on virgin mobile (I think almost all sprint phones can be. Correct me if I'm wrong)
-Nfc
-Amoled screen
-Latest Android
-Custom roms
-5ghz wifi support
-SD card slot
-Ir blaster (maybe. Optional but would be nice)
-Headphone jack (also optional I suppose. Can't believe I have to say that lol)
***Less than $500 USD***
If there's anything that might match this, or really close to it, that would be amazing. Also, will take other good recommendations as long as below $500.
Thanks guys!

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.

My Mom has had great use out of her old Lumia 430 but it is really is long in the tooth and I would rather she uses an Android device as I am far more familiar with that OS than Windows.
She just uses the phone for browsing, email, whatsapp and Facebook. So really don't need lots of RAM.
She likes the 4" screen size but she is well into her 80's and I am sure she would see a 5" screen much easier.
The phone needs to unlocked as she uses GSM in another country.
I am reluctant to get a phone that's too old as she will start running into battery issues.
I have looked at Swappa and see there are some unused Galaxy S5's for about $190.
What else should I be looking at that may cost less than $190??
Thanks.
