I'm having a hard time deciding if to buy the 6t or wait for the 7 later in the year? Any suggestions?
If you don't need a new device now, wait until 7 later.

I don't need one per say, but my pixel 3xl is from Verizon and I'm tired of being locked down on bootloader...I was also thinking trading it in for a s10 with the promo they got
Wait.Its too close now,if you can survive another few months

Difficult to answer... But if you wait long enough you also can buy a OnePlus 8.
My suggestion is to go for the OnePlus 6 T it's a perfect phone.

No unlockable bootloader on USA S10 variants beware before buying.
Be aware @shooterlgk, if you're on Verizon there is no wifi calling/texting.
That's more of an annoyance for me over unlocked bootloader.

Yeah no chance of unlock then. Unless you buy from another region.
op7 releases in may.
If you buy now 6t you will loose money when you sell it, in 2 months. If you have no phone buy it.

It seems to be an either/or deal with s10; you can either have Magisk, or you can have TWRP. And even then I'm not sure how stable or reliable the Magisk solution is, seeing how problematic it was to get it to boot in the first place.
And then there's the issue of unlocking the phone, depending on where you bought it from.
All-in-all, it's not the first choice for someone who wants to root their phone.
I was going to wait for the op7, But I decided to get the 6t. The only thing I can complain about is I lost so much download speed it's unreal. I don't know why, the 6t was a big jump from Op3.... Just my data went to S#@T.
I would not hesitate going with the 6t. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and don't regret it one bit.. Came from the essential phone before and the op6t is blazing fast, good camera and user experience..

Hi.
I have an unrootable note 5 from att and I cannot stand it.
Should I buy the moto? Are you guys happy with it? Or should I get the giant nexus.
The note 5 is a beast but it all depends if you like the stock feel or lagwiz

According to this post, 8 CUSTOM ROMs so far on Marshmallow (plus more if you include Lollipop) means no custom ROMs available for this phone...
Good job with that logic.

Coming from a Verizon Note 5 I do not miss or regret switching to the Moto at all. The only thing that is better is the camera and that's not by much at all. Having a unlocked bootloader, root and some great custom ROMs to play with is well worth the switch. It runs sweet on stock Marshmallow too.
The note series are the best phones money can by specs wise I owed each one up till Note 4 but with the loss of the MicroSD on N5ote and inability to root (Verizon edition), I sold my Note 4 and moved to Moto X. As someone else had shared, the only thing I miss is the better camera quality.

Good choice, I've tried a bunch of phones this year and decided the Mxpe is the best overall phone available. That could change soon with the new phones coming but for the price and ability to unlock and customize with Roms and xposed mods it don't think it can be beat, even by the nexii.
Give us a reply after you spend some time with it. I'm running truepurex 2.6 ROM with xposed, gravity box, minminguard ad blocker, and YouTube adaway. GPS high accuracy, Google location history on and paired with pebble watch and get great performance and battery life.

As a matter of fact I did and just returned a V10 yesterday. The only better thing from my point of view is the removable battery and camera witch it isn't by much. I was going to purchase one through Verizon on their payment plan that would have cost about $10.00 a month but decided against it. I didn't want to be into Verizon for the payment plan plus no root, unlocked bootloader or Marshmallow really did it in for me. I know how Verizon and LG are slow with phone updates. Plus I really don't care for the 2nd screen. I know it can be turned off but I would lose the on screen notifications when the phone is idle. Other than that the V10 is a great phone and very well built. It definitely takes some great pictures but the Pure is up there too.

Do you think it's worth getting for 500? If I'm gonna get it (and return the pure) I'm gonna get the tmo version and root the hell out of it. No warranty though for the LG while my moto can be shattered 100 thousand times

$500.00 seems like a good price and being T-Mobile you can do whatever you want with it. Honestly if I could have a unlocked bootloader and root I would have kept it but I have to stick with Verizon because they treat me good. I did settle for a G4 for a bit over $200.00 to play with.

Snapdragon 808 does not really need 4gb or RAM.
And I don't really wabt to buy anything from eBay.

No problem. I think you made a better choice to wait and see what comes out next. That's partly why I picked up a cheap G4 for a 2nd phone to mess with.

I just realized.
The Nexus 6p is the same price as LG v10. And I did. It get that one since I got the Moto for 375 on Amazon.
Damn you buyers remours. Damn you my sweet capitalist way of life.
But in general. I love the Moto. Much better then the note and much faster (believe it or not).
The display and camera are the best but Samsung (being Samsung) screwed the OS and user experience completely.
Hopefully I can make a quick buck on the note 5.

Nexus 6p 71% s2b ratio. Moto 76%. Enough said.
So I've had a 6p and may get a 7edge and it looks like there is nothing root or ROM rise for the sprint models... Do these have any updates?

For that type of money you're willing to spend on a phone that's about to be a year old, why not buy a pixel from Google? Especially coming from a 6p, seems like that'll make more sense.

Ive been going back and forth about the pixel... In short My 6p broke and they're sending me a new one in 2 days... I don't want to open it I'm going to sell it so I needed a new phone now... The pixel isn't available, only at best buy and not the XL... plus it's the verizon edition which has a locked bootloader.
Edit: It was also 10 percent off, I had a 100 dollar gift card and will hoefully get 400 for the 6p with the extras I have with it.

Very uninspiring physically, i was really hoping for an infinity display. But I really wanted an 835 based phone with AOSP and this is the first one so I jumped. I plan to check out the pixel 2 and the essential phone at the end of the year to see if either of them are worth it. The battery life is great, performance is great, vibration motor and camera better than the 3t. Overall I'm happy, for 500 its a steal. I sold my 3t for 440 last week so it was a no brainer

Saying the camera is better is not saying much. It would be hard for the camera to be worse. I love the 3T but seriously that camera is the only thing holding it back.

Its not pixel or nexus 6p quality, I never owned a pixel but the 6p had the best camera I've ever used, mostly due to the auto hdr software IMO. I agree the 3t's camera was total crap, but this one is at least passable. I'll have to mess around with it more to comment further but the few times i've used it didn't blow me away.

Wow I guess you missed the part about calling and getting told they can't cancel orders?
I'm considering upgrading to the OnePlus 5 (or 3T) from the Galaxy S7, but is it worth it after only one year? I guess I could sell my Galaxy S7 to partially make up for the OnePlus 5/3T expenses, but still unsure if they are that much better of phones.
I'm switching from s6 to OP5, why? Because want bigger (not curved) screen and better battery. S6 do better photos indoor.
I switched over from my S7 Edge. Depends on what you want out of your phone. I like stock Android, overall speed of the phone, dual camera, and the customizability. I also prefer the metal unibody.

If you're satisfied with the S7 then keep it. I like to live on the bleeding edge of phone tech, that's honestly one of the main reasons I upgraded.

I've noticed that it's begun to slow down (but not to the extent that I need to get rid of it), but my primary reason for considering the upgrade is to be able to not only use a brand new phone, but to flash ROMs on it and likely keep it for 2 years because of that.

I don't see them coming out with a 5T, and if they did it would be marginal. The only difference I think would be a 2k screen and OIS. Which won't really impact day to day use. I'd grab the 5.

I sold my OnePlus 3T for $430 and now have the OnePlus 5 in my hands. Note that there's a promotion on the S8/S8+ right now, so you can pick one of those guys up for $~450. So if you like the S-Line, I'd weigh my options carefully.
No doubt the 3T/5 is much faster and smooth than the S7/S8 with a superior stock experience in terms of speed. If you want to try out Custom ROM's, then OP5 is the place to go for sure.

I've actually been an HTC fanboy since 2010 (until last year), but was so close to picking a phone with stock Android that year, and I wish I did. Don't get me wrong, the S7 has been very solid for me, but I'm not a huge fan of Touchwiz and I really miss the ability to flash ROMs which improves the longevity of phones. I'm just trying to figure out if an upgrade after only a year is worth it even if I can sell my S7 for a lot of money to nearly make up for the OP5.

The OP5 will retain resale value. I sold my 3 (Originally $399) for $375 when I upgraded to the OP3T and sold the OP3T (Originally $479) for $430. I would sell the S7 before it loses more value, and you can always sell your OP5 in the future if needed without worrying about price depreciation.

That's a good point. Just out of curiosity, my S7 is on T-Mobile. I know that I could take my SIM card out of it and stick it inside the OP5 (if I do purchase it). Does my phone number also get transferred and I maintain the same carrier plan? Sorry, this may be my first time switching to an unlocked phone.
EDIT: Asking because I'm wondering if I would have to pay more for talk/messaging/data after a year.
I switched from S7 (not EDGE) but still didn't received OP5. After reviews on the internet I'm considering to buy HTC U11 anyway after few weeks.

I've been watching this topic for quite some time and I can't find anything new or updated on the subject.
It's almost like everyone gave up on trying because it seems impossible.
The bootloader for our device is locked down, it will 99% never be unlocked. We don't even have stable root all we have is crappy eng boot root. There is no development for this phone at all, unless you have the international version. Best advice I can give you sell this terrible device and either buy the international version or a whole new phone all together that isn't carrier branded as they all lock down their bootloaders. I'm jumping ship also, only got this phone because it was free.

Strongly considering buying the S8+ international model from a buddy out of country and just wiring the money over to buy it for me and ship it. As much as I love this phone, I like root more.

Was considering buying one also but tbh prolly gonna hop onto the google hype train and get a pixel xl first gen for right now then when all the bugs are worked out on the pixel 2 xl I will upgrade to that. Also check out swappa, easy way to buy phones and you can pick which one you want.
