Really looking to get a new phone pronto!!! The ones I am considering are:
mi max 2
mi A2
oldriver S10MAX
maze alpha x
ZenFone 5
Vivo V9 4GB 64GB 6.3"
UMIDIGI Z2 Special Edition 6.2" x
Lenovo Z5 Smartphone
The old river s10max really sticks out to me but I really can't find much on it. I would love to hear any and all feedback from everyone about any and all the phones. XDA is my goto for anything android! By the way I use pre-paid ATT and I live in St. Louis Missouri. Thanks in advance!
Outside of the Asus, I'm not sure I would want to risk going with any other ones there. Support, OS updates and general quality are my main concerns with those. Hell, even BLU is better I think. If you want low budget devices, BLU, located in Miami, has these white label devices that run fine. Great prices on Amazon, fast shipping and good return policy. Either that, or Sams Club/Costco. There's usually 2 unlocked devices there are an affordable price. Usually Samsung branded. Much better support and return policy.
My 2 cents.

If you want a really new one even if it doesn't have the best specs you can get the moto e, but if you want a really solid phone that isn't exactly supported by google but is capable of a ton for ~$100 then the galaxy nexus is a great phone and you can get them new for about that price unlocked.
note 2 verizon
Note 2 verizon can be found for $150 on ebay if you watch watch watch.

Jan 2015 I bought Oneplus One used it for a year and finally sold it on Jan 2016 and bought iPhone 6s 64GB for more than $1000. Since then Ive been using it and frankly Im terribly disappointed and frustrated by the whole iOS eco system. Not to mention the higher cost of same Apps vis-a-vis Android.
Im now planning to get a second phone, an android, for my love of rooting and flashing custom ROMs and for changing more than a wallpaper in the name of customization. And eventually sell my iphone after a year since selling it now will cause heavy depreciation loss to me.
Ive set a budget of $200 to buy a custom rom happy android phone, please tell me which phones should I consider. Im open to used phones too.
Please note that phone should have rich custom rom development activities.

Good Luck! - gsstudios
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I'm switching from my Sony Z3 Compact to something a bit more new, and I was looking for your advices, not only on the model as such, but on the different price tags I can have.
My service provider (SFR in France) proposes the Galaxy S8+ at 392€ (450$) or the Xperia XZ Premium at 193€ (219$) all included (no more charges on the subscription or whatsoever).
However I'm a really huge fan of the One Plus new flagships (3T and 5) but they don't have it.
In my country, reminder, the 3T is at 380€ (64go) or 420€ (128go) (both respectively 433$ and 480$)
and the 5 is at 440€ (6go RAM 64go) or 520€ (8go RAM 128go) (both respectively at 500$ and 590$)
So basically (+tl;dr) is my beloved One Plus 5 worth the extra 130€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or is my beloved One Plus 3T worth the extra 30€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or should I settle to the Galaxy S8+ even if it's not my brand nor predilection model ?
Thanks a lot for your future answers !
On the question "why am I such a fan of One Plus ?" well I like their OS, their batteries and camera, and on top of all their design and the brand's image and trust I have in them !
Thanks again !

I live in the US, and I use MetroPCS. Looking to get one of these new flagship killers everyone is discussing. My budget is around $300. I've tried the Mi A2, looked into Poco and Honor play all though I'm not sure of their compatibility with my provider. Any thoughts? I like to have a good camera, processor, and ram.

Lots of mention of some very out dated phones in that thread.
I got the Blu vivo Xi +. $300 dollars at best buy. Wireless charging. Facial recognition. Finger print scanner. Nice 6.2 inch screen. Android 8.0. Expandable memory. The only draw back is no NFC or 3.5 mm headphone jack. I'm pissed that new phones like samsung note 9 and iPhone want to charge $1000 and over. I won't be doing that anymore.
