Getting my first smartphone soon. Is there a picture/info on what the good apps are for each task? Talking about browsers and email and what not.

If you can wait, S8, if you need it now, S7 or S7 Edge, literally the same phone but without the pen.
Anthony Mitchell

Here's my reply: buy an OtterBox defender like i did. Only issue with this phone is battery life and Gps issues which is easily fixed with a canned air bottle and some micro screw drivers.
Next shill argument please. DING!
Jeremiah Kelly
Enjoy your bootloops fuckwit gook.
Nathan Harris
What do we know about the S8 so far
Lucas Myers
Those build quality issues are due to manufacturing processes, not due to hitting them.
>DING! >! Please restrain from talking like a redditor.
Anthony Martinez
I desperately need a phone but if Samsung releases the s8 this year in an attempt to make up for the note 7 I would be devastated
Benjamin Russell
No boot loops for me. That's certain models and very limited. You don't know what you're talking about faggot
Aiden Long
I want to get a phone for £500 or less, must have sd card slot. So far as I can tell its between the G5 and HTC 10, which should I get?
Henry Turner
And you can't buy bumpers for chinkphones or what's your point?
Christian Davis
If you buy a S7 Edge now, and the S8 comes out, do you think you'd really need the extra horsepower of the S8?
Update wise, you can always get Cyanogenmod, and I really doubt the S8 is some kind of breakthrough in battery life.
Not to mention that the S8's ROM will probably get ported to the S7 Edge, just like the Note 7 ROM got ported to the S7's too.
Josiah Sullivan

I was going to purchase a note7 or an s7edge. But then I heard a rumor that the new s8edge was going to have 4k screen's. Do you guys believe this is possible. I want 4k screen in the phone so I can enjoy VR without pixels. Since 4k is supposedly equivalent to 1080p in VR
Nathaniel Lewis
Also I didn't grab the Sony smartphone with the 4k screen because of the overheating cpu problem
William Taylor

Joshua Hernandez
Hey so my dad (who is a IT tech worker) needs to get a new phone. His current one is old and is apple shit. We bit the bullet and went full mint distros with our desktop/laptop systems. I also want him to save money too. Right now we are both on a verizon plan I have a note 4 that I am paying off. I regret doing that because I know now I can get the same functionality for $100-200 dollar phone and not be a bitch to Verizon and their payment plans.
Basically what I am asking is what smart phone would the ultra savvy and thrifty Cred Forums user go for? and I guess (well my plan is) flash a custom OS like Cyanogen and gut that bloatware. On the same note for future choices, do most people here go with a pre-paid plan or a monthly?
Elijah Gutierrez

Iphone 6 Jailbroken here. Was looking to upgrade to the HTC 10. I love a JB iphone but the hardware is showing it's age compared to these Android flagships. If I even open up a picture thats too hi-res it crashes my apps because 1gb of RAM. I'm fed up with Apple. What do you think of the HTC 10 so far?
Eli Peterson
kek not even my shitty 1gb lagdroid does this what the fug
Parker Moore
It's completely fine. HTC is very underrated in my opinion. For high end Androids go for either the HTC 10, or Galaxy S7, no need for it to be the Edge one.
Liam Barnes
Are you big into tweaks and ricing for android, does the HTC have a big scene?
That's only a section dedicated to ROMs for the HTC 10.
For Android, as long as the phone has a Qualcomm or Exynos CPU, it probably has some ROM available. If it's one of the big ones, it definatly has many.
Alexander Moore
Are there any phones better than a new, unlocked 32GB LG G3 for $148?

What are the most recent phones with sd card slots?
I have a galaxy s4 and i'm tired of having such a small amt of space.
Alexander Sullivan
S7 exynos or S7 edge exynos, gonna buy one right now. which?
Edge: 3600 mah battery, stupid screen s7: regular screen but only 3000 mah battery.
Landon Adams
You don't need an sd card slot if you just want more storage. Just buy a 256GB phone.
Ayden Moore
I have a 128gb sd card tho.
Would jumping from something like 64gb to 256 be a big jump in price. I'm poor dude.
Wyatt Howard
A replacing the screen on a z3 isn't a good idea, it's easy but the whole back and front is glued in place. Glued parts act funny sometimes after repairs and that would be it for the water resistance unless the guy is very-very pro. Oh and btw 120 for a 30-50 dollar screen plus work fee is a bit too much. should be 80 tbqh.
I would just buy a new phone

David Collins
Ive already bought it, Thats pretty much the reasons I got it, bought a lot of things i have problems with. Many apps are poorly designed and very buggy. If youre a normie that wants snapchat then youre in for a bad time, but i dont really care. Syncing with OneNote very easily is nice. Being able to press a button and go straight to a certain website or a specific board on Cred Forums, specific page on a certain app is nice. Also the parts to replace it are incredibly cheap. I broke the screen two weeks ago, just bought a chink version of the screen and was easily able to replace it. Took me like 15 minutes to do and I was very slow and careful about it.
Owen Johnson
What are some popular Android benchmarks??
Robert Brown
fuck it, bought the regular s7, edge screen was just too stupid for me
Mason Cooper
I've had the Mate7 and I really liked it, judging by reviews Mate 8 seems to be very much more of the same:
>Amazing screen to body ratio. Feels much smaller than a 6" phone should >Great build quality >Powerful CPU, weak GPU but only matters if you are into mobile gaymen >Very fast for web browsing/moving through the UI >Held back by non-aesthetic chinkyrom that bombards you with notifications about battery and data use of apps. You can get around this with themes and tweaks
Nolan Lopez
Hey, so I was transferring some pics from my phone to my SD card in my Galaxy S5 which is just about done with its life. At about 82% of the transfer it froze. I am unable to check photos due to glitch going on with my phone. Did I lose all the pics I was transferring or only the ones that weren't transferred at the 82% mark
Aaron James
Is there a reason that Sony's phones never get much discussion here? I'm debating between the Z5C and the new X line but no one ever brings it up! Are they shit or something?
Henry Walker
ya it's a good product for anyone who doesn't need a ton of shit (ie snapchat) but it does it well enough so that you don't have to think about it too much. apps are VERY buggy but you'll live.
i just got an android like a week ago and i switched. i really do miss a ton of things that were on there tho.
Anthony Bennett
Does anyone else have problem with AliExpress? They keep closing my orders.
Charles Campbell
>Z5C is a year old. don't buy at full price. apparently heats up a bit because of the 810 >x compact feels like not a proper upgrade "side grade". shoulda been a 820 processor instead of the 650 like we go. removed waterproofing and 4k video. camera barely makes up the loss.
Robert Gutierrez
I meant less repairments or accessories if the phone breaks or something
Landon Nguyen
/spg/ what the fuck is it with all of the iPhone 7 Screen Protectors for sale?
NONE of them fit. Even from known brands like Zagg and Belkin (Belkin is literally sold in the fucking Apple store) the screen protectors they make don't fit the phone correctly.
How do you colossally fuck up so bad that even the screen protector Apple sells in their own store doesn't fit their product correctly?
The same problems exists for every other screen protector maker. If you look on amazon at any iPhone 7 screen protectors, there will be reviews on every single one saying it doesn't fit right.

I'm not sure if it's 5.something or 6. Don't know what's the difference between them, so if anyone can clarify them, it'd be neat.
Benjamin Sanchez
I've owned an equal amount of Android phones and iPhones. Every iPhone I've had has always lasted me 2 years, ran just as fast as the day I got it. Every Android I've had ran beautifully for a year and then by the end of the second year would have a horribly crippled battery life, and everything slows down. It's a shame since I do like the customization aspect of Android a lot more than iOS, but iOS has just always been more stable for me.
Mason Myers

I don't own a Moto X Force, but I do own a Moto G3 and an E2 and I can say that Lelnovorola makes good phones. My only complaint is that the E2 freezes a lot, but it's a budget phone, not a high-end one. So, yeah, I do trust motorola with their smartphones.

Just flash CM13 and CM14 when it's stable. Don't use MIUI, it's shit

Kevin Scott
You sure told him, iPajeet!
Isaiah Nelson
My guess is slightly curved edges. Galaxy phones also have this problem. I had a tempered glass screen protector for my S6 that was made to fit the whole screen, but the edges obviously couldn't wrap around the curves leaving gaps, which led to a lot of facial oil seeping underneath the protector over time from long phone conversations . Was disgusting. Got one that only fits the parts it can flush to and now I don't have that problem.
Joshua Moore
lel more enjoyable than crossing your fingers that your android device receives an unoptimized shitty update designed for 1000 different phones when then carrier allows it
Christian Cox
this is the correct answer use a shitty free plastic screen protector or nothing

I'm in the same boat. deciding between sony compact phones since they're small and (usually) don't sacrifice performance. might stick with my iphone 4s and wait til next year.
also, sony prices pretty high.

Jaxson Sanders
Advice from a Verizon user who's also in the market for a new phone: ignore any and all discussion you see on chinkshit. you'll just get upset when you find out none of them support the CDMA bands sprint and verizon use.
I say wait until next week to see if shitty pricing on new pixel phones is true. if it is just grab a 6P once it goes cheaper.

I wouldn't say "poor" is the correct term... you can much more phone for the money if you go android. That said, you often sacrifice longevity and stability over an iPhone.
"Poor" is when you finance a phone.
Jonathan Bailey

Nathan Gray
I only replaced my Galaxy S4 a couple months ago. I had to replace the battery once. I guess it was rooted and I kept it in a bulky case. Both of those things extend the lifespan.
Jaxon Wright
low quality bait but anons took it anyways
It's not better or worse. The material has much more friction but it's better at repelling glare and can resist light scratches. I personally don't like those stretchy screen protectors because swipes take too much effort.
Samuel Russell
>god tier os >god tier screen ehhhhh
Ryan Barnes
Sony has better screen/camera and the OS is close to vanilla android, which is really nice, but the SE is going to be more powerful. The A9 in the SE, coupled with iOS is a performance machine. Also, the iPhone will be supported for at least the next 3 years, don't know if you can say the same about the sony.
Lincoln Rivera
all of this already exists without having to pay apple premiums
Dominic Perry
1) Backup /data to MicroSD and remove it from phone 2) Install HTC drivers on computer and reboot 3) Use HTC ROM Installer from htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html to restore phone to latest stock ROM 4) Reflash TWRP and use it to restore backup of /data 5) Enjoy
If you don't care, get the SE. Great value for money, good battery life, fast updates. Sony can't do value or updates and battery life has been meh the past few generations.
Jacob Bailey

Any HTC10 users here us a custom ROM? I might decide to try one. Root is necessary and Pokemon go compatibility is just a plus
Nolan Nelson
Not counting hacked pajeet roms,
The S4 didn't get android 6, and the iPhone 5s of similar vintage is still supported, and will probably get the next iOS too. Not saying the 5s was a better value overall, but apple does support their products for a while.
Oliver Ortiz
Sony is pretty as fuck though and the phones are the fucking best to feel in your hands
It's a pity, they should be outdoing samshit, I don't know why they insist on being retarded and overpricing all the time

Its a huge stepup from my Z3C for sure. Apart from Touchwiz its probably the best phone which isn't chinese or explodes you can get at the moment.
The edge didn't fit into my budget, I'm happy with the S7 though.
Kevin Collins
You're not countering any of my points, boi
Bentley Fisher
Is lagwiz still shit?

My last Samsung phone was the Galaxy S3, which Touchwiz fucked up to the point that I had to throw Cyanogenmod onto it. It got much better with the S7, I just hope Samsung will roll out Grace UI for the S7/Edge too.

Daily reminder that Apple absolutely fucked up the color management for the iPhone 6s and earlier. It used to be correctly calibrated for sRGB on iOS9, but now in iOS10, the colors are now dull as fuck. If this isn't planned obsolescence, I don't know what is.
Zachary Perez
>WARNING: Performing the system update manually will delete all information from the device.
Well fuck
Nolan Cox
Planned obsolescence is when android manufacturers don't update the phone software for more than 2 years, or not at all in most cases
Luke Roberts
You can always flash further updates with custom roms if you didn't buy a shit phone. Btw the HTC m7 still gets security updates.
Jackson Campbell
I just got a galaxy note 4 and it was great out of the box. Then it got updated and the split screen apps only work with some apps when before it could work with any app by just dragging the corner down. Did they just fucking remove a feature in an update? I see no difference other than that. It's like the opposite of an update.
Gabriel Reyes
Such a good phone, no regrets at all
Hunter Hughes
>custom roms It should be the manufacturer's duty to bring you fast and reliable updates, not the community's. What they're doing however is actually making it harder for the community to port updated versions of android (see the community development for any samsung phone newer than 2014). That's planned obsolescence.
Also, the average Joe would rather just buy another phone than flash a custom rom. And the manufacturers know that, and profit off that.
Btw, the iPhone 5 still gets full software updates, and gets them at the same time as the newer iphones.
Jose Jackson

Don't get a Huawei phone. They never update their phones. They are the worst at doing that. Why would you buy a phone from an unpopular brand no one buys from over a reputable brand for the same price or less?
Xavier Jones
I said nonshit phones. Samshit tries to be Apple to hard. The average Joe has a contract that gives him a new phone every year. Samshit recognized that and said fuck it. Just that you know: Android kitkat still has more features that I want than ios.

Anyone have opinions on buying a non T-mobile phone for their network? I've been looking around and this is the list that I have come up with for reasonably priced ones that (should) work on their network. The only features I care about is the device working on T-Mobiles network, the camera, and SD card slot is a plus . Anyone have opinions? - Honor 8 - Nexus 5x - Nexus 6/6p - LG G4/5 - one plus 3 - Huawei p9? - Huawei p9 lite?
The Honor 8 seems to be the best, but I'm open desu.
A (non exhaustive?) list of compatible phones is here.
How would I go about installing the stock rom but without any Google apps and any of the other bloat I want to get rid of.

>Kenzo: Cases fit, easier to get updates for (including custom roms) but no 700/800 bands (my provider is expending with 700) >Kate: Cases won't fit, more shenanigans required for updates, and does have 700/800 bands >Kate is 2mm longer, doesn't fit with any case, and all CM versions are made for Kenzo. (But portable to kate)
Anyone using Kate ITT? Can you install CM on Kate? Where to find fitting cases/glass?
Also what should I ask the seller when purchasing? - Do I need to ask him to flash the ROM?
Jaxon Cruz
Also curious about this. The best way would probably be to root and remove gapps. But rooting is such a pain in the ass when it comes to xperai phones.
Aiden Turner
LG V20 with Zerolemon I didn't check but ZUK Z2 and LelEco max 2 could work and are cheaper. I don't get why people buy samshit. Do whatever you want. They try to be Apple to hard and lock down too much while holding the hardware back with useless features.

Why, fucking why did those gooks have to fuck up the note 7 recall? Was looking forward to buying one now that the price has dropped to 830$ where I live.
I really want a phone with stylus and a great camera, so I have no option but to wait. Hope they solve issues quickly and drop the price even lower.

Is the 152mm version of RN3P the international one? I found a seller that is selling the 150mm one and appareantly, works with my carrier. If I buy that one will I be able to put CM in it? What other differences are there aside from China version not having 4G?
Adrian Torres
>...and then she farts!
Ryan Long
here Yes the one which is 2mm bigger is international and has more bands, but no official CM ROM although it seems possible with some tweaks. China version has official CM support. But no 800 or 700 mhz bands.
It will work with your carrier but if they start using more bands (my carrier doesn't use 800 frequencies, but recently started adding 700 antennas), you would get better results with International for long-term use.
The only other difference is for protection cases, I can't find any for the 152mm version.

Nexus 6P for €270, Samsung Galaxy S6 for €200 or LG G5 for €210? (I'm the least inclined to buy LG though because of its build quality and possible bootloop issues).
I used to have a 5X, if anyone is interested about buying it then I can answer questions.
Camden Ramirez
It's not. Honestly. Not that user but I just got an S7 too. It was 200usd cheaper than HTC 10 in my country and I'd rather get a cheap portable amp... I couldn't justify the price. I'm overall happy with it, coming from an iPhone 5C this thing is amazing. No lag at all. Fast, too. Amoled is taking me a bit to get used to, though. Exynos version.
Do you have one? If so, are there any issues with it? How is the size?
Dominic Gonzalez
No.

Well fuck you
Anyone have experience with Leedroid? Might decide to move to a custom rom if I can't restore my stock recovery, fuck this shit
Daniel Myers
Hey /SPG/, I have a question. I just jumped to Adnroid from Blackberry(sadly), and I'm missing the Blend software that came with BB. It essentially let me respond to emails/texts and transfer files while the phone was connected to the internet.
Now I don't care if I have to plug the phone in via a USB cable, but I'm looking for a way to screenshare/use my mouse/Keyboard on my phone without having to log into a third party site or rooting.
What does Cred Forums recommend?
Brody Bailey
Hi,
I was thinking of buying a Xiaomi Mi5 128gig. I've found 2 websites that were selling it, but I'm not sure if they're trustworthy. I've read mixxed reviews about both. So I was hoping anyone here could help me out.
Said websites: banggood geekbuying

is there a way to block promoted tweets in the native twitter app? I have adaway and luckypatcher but I'm not sure if any of the LP options are appropriate

use another twitter app.

get the mi5s instead.
For sellers ask in they know more about trusted sellers.

How do I make my current chinese smartphone not work at all? I wanna buy a new phone and my dad will only buy a new one once my current phone dies.
I have already put the important photos and videos to my cloud storage.
I've been using this shit for about 3 years and I wanna buy a new smartphone.

If i get one of those cheap QWERTY keyboard for smartphones, is there a way to use it in AZERTY mode (ie, replace keys automatically, Q>A, W>Z, etc.)?
Are there apps such has AutoHotKeys on Android?

Jose James
Dude I didn't say I wanna buy an iPhone 7 or some other high end smartphone. Right now I'm aiming at a $150 smart phone (Lenovo A700) or something cheaper.
Samuel Gray
so what's a $150 chinkphone got that totally trumps your 3yo chinkphone
Brody Bennett
Okay, Ill be more specific. My current phone lags a lot and it's shit on wifi even tho the router is like in 1m radius. I have many PDFs from college and the text softwares like WORD, XCEL, PDF, doesn't work properly. It crashes.
Isaac Carter
False
650 > 800
Jose Gutierrez
Anyone with experience on BQ phones? Was eyeballing the M5 because I like the design.
Leo Sullivan
I went to a shop nearby and found a reasonably priced Lenovo A7000 with 5+ inch screen(perfect for my college uses).
Reviews say very good about it expect the mediatek it has(I understand mediatek is shit but this phone is good).
IT has good speeds which is good for gaming as well. Good camera as well. Also removable back cover and expandable storage makes this almost a perfect buy for me.
Jaxson Phillips

Joseph Harris
Is 6 and 8 GB RAM really important on smartphones? I mean you aren't gonna create a game on your smartphone other than surfing porn.
Justin Carter
fuck no. 3G should be plenty for everyone. Even if they make 12GB phones the browsers and a couple other apps will just bloat to take up the space

I'm guessing the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro is my best bet. Am I wrong?
Isaiah Robinson
It is abnormal to hear noise at sound levels +1 and+2 above zero, using low impedance headphones, right? This is only my second smartphone, I hope to get warranty on this xiaomi redmi note 3 pro. vocaroo.com/i/s1S3mNza9DE7
(recorded by another phone with my phone's headphone output connected to my guitar amp. So extra noise but the noise "around" the music is only caused by the phone itself, I checked)

Which one of the following would you recommend? I just want a reliable as in long lasting phone with good battery life and customer service if it should shit itself.
>BlackBerry passport for 300€ Is bbos still usable?
>BlackBerry priv for 460€ How are the update situation and battery life?
>iphone as 64gb for 470€ Is it as reliable as old iPhones?
Landon Williams
racist
Anthony Anderson
>Is bbos still usable? it's very usable, but don't expect any apps ever.
Also the company is killing it off slow. It's a shame because the passport is fucking god-tier in design and comfort.
>How are the update situation and battery life? Very good battery life, lasts my friend 2 days of moderate usage. Big screen, updates pretty frequently.
>Is it as reliable as old iPhones? No
Levi Jones
You're mostly dealing with retards who're even bigger sheeps than the clueless Apple users who're in just because of the brand, that's the issue here
I mean we're talking about idiots jumping in head first onto the first meme and then pretends it's great, trying to convince themselves they made the right choice
This.
Christopher Hill
AMOLED or LCD? I've had this question for a while now and I've never found a solid answer. Is it just personal preference?
Levi Rivera
Geekbench+Antutu.
It's Android 6 but it's pretty much hidden/doesn't matter.
DOA.
They are both legit, but shipping from China takes a lot of time unless you use DHL. also, get the Mi5s.
Hudson Moore
So is this thread only buyer guides and iOS vs Android wars, or can I ask questions that I'd ask in /fglt/ if I had them about GNU/Linux, like how to do XYZ in the terminal?

I bought xiaomi redmi 3pro but seller told me they are out of stock and sent me xiaomi redmi3s pro. Instead of Snapdragon 616 I got now Snapdragon 430. Also gpu are different, ram is same. Agree for that swap or tell them to refund? tl:dr xiaomi redmi 3 pro or xiaomi redmi 3s pro
Dylan Garcia
CHINK'D
Alexander Turner
SD430 is better. GPU is better. EMMC is faster, comes with marshmallow. Benchmarks better (~42k antutu). SD430 is based on a newer manufacturing process, has a newer GPU, has more LTE support and should generally run cooler and more efficiently.
Chase Howard
lol, maybe compare the specs? 5ghz vs no 5ghz wifi 1080p 5.5 inch vs 720p 5 inch
You got chincked, better ask your money back.
Anyone who can help me out? just need a no or yes: do you experience noise at lowest sound level?
Levi Bailey
Should I buy the white One plus 3, or is it too gay?
^^ Ignore the retards above. they are confusing different models like the Redmi Note 3 Pro (SD650) and Redmi Pro (X20). Redmi 3 and Redmi 3s are both 720p. SD 616 is the "fixed" version of SD615 which is an overheating piece of shit. SD430 has a newer GPU, Adreno 505 vs. 405 on the 616. it benchmarks higher and performs better on gaymen and runs cooler.
Charles Perez
Shit. What if I only use it for IM apps like WhatsApp.

omg are u talking about same devices as I? I mean redmi 3pro and redmi 3s pro and in your link you compared wrong devices, same shit as him^

Broke my note 3 screen yesterday. Was looking to buy another one. It's also gonna cost 190 to fix if I choose to do that. I just want to your guys opinion if its worth it. There isn't a similar specced phone in the 190 price range and the phones im looking to buy are the OP3 or the V20. Worth it to fix?
Leo Jackson
AMOLED imo is better.
Cooper Garcia
if you want a smartphone that gets guaranteed updates for the next 3-4 years then the iphone SE is your only choice.
Maybe the z5 compact or the x compact if you are up for custom roms. But it doesn't sound like you are.
Charles Jones
Chinkphones. ZUK Z2 (not the pro) looks like a iPhone 5 and 6 melted in one thing (except the home button). +-250 shekels for flagship specs 5" fhd and 64gb storage.
Nicholas Evans
No get a new phone.
Jacob Nelson
You can get a Note4 for that much You could also get a Blu Life One X2 which has a 430 in it which is roughly as strong as the Note3's SD800, and has a fingerprinter and 64GB/3GB for 190
Sebastian Martin
when is the LG v20 dropping? Or would I be just as well off going for the G5?
Owen Harris
any good chinkphones with support for full at&T network? even the redmeme seems to not support all LTE bands
Daniel Jackson
Blu, Zuk, LeEco phones.
Charles Martin
-Honor 5X has full AT&T/T-Mobile, but is admittedly a budget phone -The LeEco's are good and powerful but lack 3.5mm and SD slots -Nexus 6P is chink and has no SD and has expensive ROM, but you get Nexus benefits. -There are some ZTE ones that have compatibility. Axon 7 is probably the strongest competitor there, and I think there's an unofficial unlock for it. Possibly CM13 or 14 soon? -Blu phones are budget, but most have MTK SoC so no roms. The Blu Life X2 might get some.
Almost every Xiaomi phone does not have ANY compatibility with bands in the U.S, only a handful have Bands 2/4.

I bought a Mi 5 last week, specifically for the decent camera and low price. Now I see that they are releasing the Mi 5s with an even better camera.
Should I try and get a refund off Aliexpress, or just kill my self?
David Evans
>Everyone on the internet is a fat Americuck with third world grade band compatibility Shart in mart you poor nigger.
Landon Howard
They get limited Tmobile 4G/3G, which I guess for some people is enough if they're buying a $200 phone and wanting it to last them 2-4 years.
Honestly I'd buy the fuck out of one of those Xiaomi mi's if they had 4G support here.
Luis Collins
If it already shipped your'e fucked unless you wanna pay return shipping to China. However considering how many leaks there were for the Mi5s in the last month you should definitely kill yourself .
Nathaniel Hernandez
>Zuk There's no ZUK phone with full 4G U.S support.
