Note 5, Nexus 6P, LG V10So it seems like my Galaxy Note 2 has finally passed away
Anyone got suggestions on what the best Android phone on the market is right now? I don't really keep up with this kinda stuff.
Note: I love my big ass screens so it has to be minimum 5.5 inches.
thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into them

Just curious, how well do those browsers you guys are talking about handle the first page of this thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1164159
When you view that page, how's the scrolling while the images are loading? Any poor performance or anything?
I'm asking because Pale Moon for Android handles that page like a champ on my Nexus 7 (2013) and it surprised the heck out of me.

Hangouts has too much marketshare in the business to die at this point.
Google is turning messenger into an imessage competitor by adding data and bots.
Hangouts will be regeared for business even more.

I'd prefer if they just integrated the IM/Cross Platform features of Hangouts into Messenger instead of forcing people to use two different apps.

My theory isn't they won't be forcing people to use both. Hangouts will just be a skype/slack competitor.
That is pretty poor form.You'd think they would be first.
I continue to want a Sony Nexus. That seems like the only way to get any presence in the US.

Sony doesn't know how to design phones with more than 1 kind of antenna. This rules them out for Nexus ever, which have to work on more worldwide networks and bands than I care to try and count.
The US is a double-problem because the largest carrier here (Verizon) is still stuck on CDMA2000 until at least 2020.

Same here. I use it all the time to save stuff, cut stuff and share it. It's great.
Also, I gave that CAF browser a try. I still prefer lightning browser. It just loads everything faster for me.

Weird..
My LG g4 has been for about 17 hours so far and eventhough today i used training app for my workout it still has 75% battery left.. Though i did uninstall facebook and facebook messenger and installed facebook lite.
Hopefully its not a bug in battery stats or something similar :-D

Hey Droid GAF.
I'm thinking about picking up a new android phone. Currently I am on Galaxy S5, slowly but surely it's getting slower, I'm getting constant "no SIM card found" messages and camera is not as great as I hoped.
Most I am willing to spend is 300€, (I bought S5 for 280€
. I am looking for fast phone with as less bloatware as possible, great camera and MicroSD slot. Any suggestions? I was looking at OnePlusTwo/X or Nexus, but I am at lost. Should I wait until new phones are announced, or just jump in now?

You have a small budget. I don't think waiting for new phones because they will all be more than 300. G4 would be my recommendation but that's going to be slower just like your S5 and has a huge hardware defect that makes the device bootloop.
Damn. But pretty much any new phone coming out will have the things you want and be future proof like the LG G5 or Galaxy S7

Try resetting it first.
If you don't care too much about the MicroSD card slot jump on a Nexus 6P today, it's currently the best Android phone.
Maybe you could find a xperia z2 for that price.
Nexus 5x is now on sale but still above 300.

Read his post: 300
I've got a 3rd Gen Moto G, and I've been plenty pleased with it. It runs on what's almost entirely stock Android (there's a couple of Motorola apps that are easily disabled), isn't too gigantic, and is fairly cheap. From the reviews I've read, it doesn't have the same power as other, more expensive phones, but I haven't had any issues with responsiveness or anything.

It's free. Why don't you just try it and report back?

Wow. So it's a ChromeOS device that boots Android. It doesn't sound like (stock) Android is the problem here. It doesn't even sound like Tegra is much of an issue. Google just launched a half-baked product.
Google should've just left it running the touch optimized version of ChromeOS that the Pixel team was already working on. If the rumor about them merging the two is true, that could've just come as an update in the future when everything was ready. Or they could've just not released the thing until they got Android running on it properly.
It's a shame, too, because the hardware is capable and the design is gorgeous.
Yeah, I guess I should get used to sideloading. I'll fool around with it later, after work.

The funny part is its still got so much Chrome OS left in it Google could still allow us to put Chrome OS on it. It's chromeOS up until it boots Android...what a mess.
Seems like development for it might be a pain in the ass swell...not that I had planned of flashing anything on it anyway.

lenovo just launched Vibe x3. There are many like this phones under 300$. S5 still runs like champ for many that I know. As everyone said reset it. Clean it up a little and it might turn better.

Yeah, it's crazy. Google dropped the ball big time with this thing. Probably the worst product they've ever put out.

Alright, so the only issue I have with these caf browsers are how they load pages. Particularly when loading up a long page. Chrome would load the whole page at once. Caf browsers progressively load it from top to bottom. It's annoying as hell and almost makes me want to just use Chrome again.
The hyperbole around here regarding the Pixel C is out of hand. Like I've said before, other than the WiFi issue, I've had 0 issues with mine. Way better than my Nexus 7, 9, 10, and Shield Tablet.

Lucky you.
I don't have WiFi issues but the touchscreen I have had problems with. Lag/stuttering too and total lock up when trying to wake it up.
The worst lag I've had is when uninstalling an app. Spotify and the whole tablet started stuttering and stoping and the tablet locked up for bit until it was done. This only happened once but still.

Hmm the last week my WiFi has been turning on by itself (for very very sma times) or not even turning off with airplane mode on according to the battery report
Some might say the bar is super low, but the Pixel C is the best Android tablet I've had. Somehow, I have none of the issues people have complained about. I only use it as a tablet, and purchased it with no intention of getting the keyboard.
For me, the Nexus 9 has been easily the worst Google device I've ever owned.

What were the issues with the Nexus 9 that made you think that? Just curious. Still holding off on the Pixel C because my 9 has been so bad.
