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.

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

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

Hello, how are you? in first place i would like to explain that my english is not pretty good, so... having said this.
I'm gonna buy a smartphone, my priority is the sound with headphones and secondly the camera (both as photos and videos). I don't care at all about the speakers sound, i mean, nothing at all.
My favorites are:
HTC 10 (this is i like the most i think, because the botons and another reasons)
LG V20 (this would be my second, something that i don't like about this is that the 3,5mm jack is in the bottom part, i mean, it's not irritating, but it's a little annoying)
LG G6 (according to web info, the version that is worth is the Korean version, is it like that? and what do you think about the normal version?)
What do you think. The htc has good sound comparing to the others phones? if not, do you think is worth to buying it being that is the phone that i like the most? i'm quite convinced about buying the HTC, but i prefer to take out the doubt.
I hope you can help me, and from now, thanks

Lg g6 = htc 10
As I can see this is the cross-post of which I have seen at the CNET forums. However, HTC 10 is now upgradable to latest Android Oreo and is much better in terms of performance, camera and as well as in sound. Sometimes Specs don't show you the reality, In general, loafs of factors depends on the phone so that It can deliver top-notch service. If the battle is among these three phones, if you look at the specs then HTC 10 is an eye candy and the boss for what it offers. Lg may be the king for the stuff like Televisions, DSLR camera and so on, but HTC is mainly about cell phones and that's also the reason why it won't con you out of money.
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
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.
