Which phone?

MariusJS

I'm looking at buying a new phone soon, and wondering if I should wait for some phones, or buy some others...

 

 

So I were waiting for the 1+2, but especially the lack og quickcharge made me kind of loose interest, but I am still considering the phone!

 

I know Z5 and maybe some Samsung phones are coming "soon"

 

So what phone with android would you recommend? I don't care about which ROM, because I am probably going to change it.

 

Don't take that many pics, so I don't care so much about camera either

Nexus devices are always at the top of my list for Android phones.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Just get the S6 or wait till Note 5 comes out and think then.

 

Currently however I would say S6 is still the best all rounder at the moment.

Speed is fairly similar in most phones for a good while now, so base it off battery life and screen quality (since you will be changing the rom anyways)

Newer Samsung phones are hard to change the ROM on.

I am searching for a new phone too, and I found the lenovo k3 note. Incredible price, incredible performance. i am probably going to buy that one.

I would certainly take a look at it if I were you!

I guess I'll just wait and see what is going to get released, I like the Note series, while the last nexus was kind of a disappointment.

 

 

I currently have a S4 Active with custom rom, but especially the battery time has gone down quite a bit, but then on the other hand I've been using that phone A LOT, and also been changing software on it, maybe a bit too often :P

Haven't had any problems with S2 and S4 Active...

Its my single biggest gripe about android, the different versions are so fragmented.

You can probably repair it at a repair shop. They probably wont have the parts already, but these can be ordered (at least here in the netherlands repair shops just order parts from different countries if the phone isnt availble here)

It costs only 147 euro wich is 1/4 the price of the s6 (at least here in the netherlands) Watch this mini review and just decide for yourself:

So I have been thinking about this, and been looking it up, and I don't care THAT much about the price, and the negatives of having to buy this from outside the country is not worth the hassle :(

 

Edit: Also I feel that Lenovo is focusing a bit too much on copying apple lately, instead of making an image of their own

I've been looking on some of their other phones, and some other aspects, do they wait long with updates?, because it seems like it...
