11/11 What to buy?
Hey guys as you all may know 11/11 is here and it looks good, at least on Aliexpress as far as phones go.
First of all i like to "sprinkle" a lot of xda on my phones so my phones are rooted/moded/xposed etc. I want the phone to have root possibility at least. I owned Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Nexus 5, 2 x LG G3 and LG G FLex 2. Curently i went back to Nexus 5 as I gave one G3 to my mother in law and the other one to my wife. Nexus 5 still does what it needs to. Very fast with MM and very little lag for a phone that is now almost 3 years old. Camera sucks balls but still it was my decision to go back to it.
#1 affordable
i am not a moron to spend more than 400-500 on a phone. i know it is the new trend but i am not pissing away my money for something that will be worth that price in half a year.
#2 modding
i need root at least
#3 on screen buttons
self-explanatory. Since the galaxy nexus i praised the on screen buttons. people say it's taking over the screen. Yes and no. When you don't need them they go away and i could't say that for capacitive buttons.
#4 64 GB minimum
and if there is an sd card slot the better
Brand, size, etc i dont care...
My summary is as following:
LG V10 365$
+love the button layout (one thing i loved about LG and it changed the way I use my phones)
+ hi-fi dac is awesome (I have my V-Moda's that need some juice)
+rugged, removable battery and sd card.
+second lcd
-old cpu since they skipped the sd810 so its 2 gen older than other devices of newer/same age. had the g flex 2 with sd810 and it was a beast when it got MM.
Letv X900 315$
+cpu is sd810
+hi-fi dac
+nice looking device
-capacitive buttons
-no sd card slot
-chinese roms etc...would be a pain to look for mods
Lastly NEXUS 6P would be my choice but it is priced to damn high even for used ones.
