Can you please write a little bit more? Why somebody should buy this device instead another one?
Hi everyone need advice on next phone, looking at Nexus 6P vs. LG G5, Chinese phones is not an option because i need invoice and i am in EU, it should cost 300-450 EUR, mentioned phones costs about 420 in my country.
What i need is performance and battery life, camera, screen etc. is not essential.
6P seems to be great phone but SD810 seems to be twice slower than SD820, but LG G5 oly have 2800mAh. Can not find any better options than these for the price.
Thanks for help!

You can get Chinese phones also within the EU! I bought my Zuk Z1 on Amazon with invoice and warranty.
Not an option. Need local retailer.
OK i found some locally sold Xiaomi Mi5 3/32 GB so it is Mi5 (~400) vs 6P (400) vs LG G5 (420) Xiaomi could be a winner?
Well, I don't know if it's just me or what but I just want the look of a standard AOSP android.
CyanogenMod or AOSP is available for nearly all devices with better specs to lower prices. Google did it like Samsung with its Galaxy. The first ones were really price competitors by high end hardware, then every device gets more expensive

Well the note 7 was a game changer. ....in liken the worst way EVER lol.
But yeah...they need to deliver something truly spectacular to get consumers looking their way again.
But even that may not be enough given the damage done with 2 recalls.

Sorry I forget the specifics, only that they're using a new chip?

Can someone help me? I can choose a new phone from my provider. I can choose Between the newest phones from Samsung, Sony, Huawei ore LG. Custom Roms are very important for me. I big screen, big Battery and good sound is important too, thanks for ideas.

Couldn't disagree with that. It seems like it's all about the money though. Well, if I can't afford to have a Pixel maybe I'll go for an Xperia. The one at a mid-range bracket and then flash CM in it.
Anyone recommend a good durable phone without crappy hardware?
Currently using Kyocera E6560. Leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm in the US using puretalk (AT&T) cool w/ PagePlus too(VRZ) so no Chinese phone unless it does 4G.
I've look as they have some cool IP rated phones but saw none that were AT&T compatible.
Also hesitate to get another S5,6,7 active. Both me and my brother in law had the WiFi just fail. Me on an S4 active, he had an S5 active.
Their software blows as well.
Looked at the moto turbo 2 but I'll be damned if I'm paying $625 for a locked bootloader.
Had a turbo 1 that that the screen shattered on, terrible call quality esp with voip.
I'll pay $600 for an open phone, or $300 if not as long as it's root able.
Afwall and adaway are non negotiable.
Wish Casio still made phones. Those were tanks.

If you can get a Samsung Galaxy S7, or better still S 7 Edge, why consider getting anything else?

Any hint how I can obtain physical access to a device that I don't own yet in order to install this certainly great app for the suggested check?Before you buy an used phone, check it with this app:
See how many charging cycles it has.
500+ and you know the battery is on way down.1G53 is a low end phone - G42 is a better choice.
Amoled, FHD, better SoC etc
Compare Motorola Moto G42 vs. Motorola Moto G53 - GSMArena.com

Xperia 10 III is as good as G42, with more RAM, but an older phone and cost more:

Thanks. Won't work on my phone as it's for Android 14, but am looking for another app to check number of cycles.Before you buy an used phone, check it with this app:

Its a bit older phone, but still nice.
Bit smaller screen size, smaller battery, less RAM, but a better camera, OTG support, and should get Android 14 too.
If the price is right, lower than G84, and you like the phone, go for it.
If the price is the same, and the camera is not in your focus, then get the G84 because it has an amasing battery life, microSD expansion is very nice too.1
Thank you so much for the elaborate response, after 5 days of intense research, I wasn't happy enough with the offers at the 300-400 range, not enough to call the shot, so I ended up lowering the budget to avoid disappointment, and got a poco x6 for 277 euros, is alright, I feel like if I had forked out more for a redmi note 12 pro plus or note 13 pro plus, I would feel disappointed... -
30mines is either galaxy s3 or galaxy note for t-mobile
